It's good to listen to others for constructive criticism. Wasn't this a resource for people who want to use them in hacks? Well I'll tell you for certain, no one will use these if you don't fix them.

NEW YORK -- Authorities have found a man's body in his Brooklyn apartment after neighbors said they complained about a rotting stench for months.
Police found James Gayle's corpse Saturday at the Breukelen public housing complex.
Officers had been called to investigate the smell.
Police say it appears the 60-year-old died of natural causes.
New York City Housing Authority spokesman Howard Marder says officials are investigating when and how the man died, and records of any complaints aren't yet available.
Neighbor Jessie Livingston says she last saw the man in January and began noticing a "horrible" odor in February.
She says she called the Housing Authority repeatedly since then, but staffers who responded didn't enter the man's apartment.

2015 Top Prospects
Eric Jenkins
- OF - 2015 - Chadbourn, NC - USA
Jenkins is a dual threat at the plate and on the mound. An exceptional athlete he ran a 6.46 60, threw 89 from the outfield, and topped at 85 on the mound. He profiles as a speedy centerfielder that will pop to the top of a lineup. Grades out with above average tools across the board.
Jonathan Schofield
- RHP - 2015 - Greenville, SC - USA
Schofield showed his athleticism all weekend throwing 88 from the outfield, and topping out at 89 on the mound. Schofield uses his clean mechanics and quick arm to attack hitters with a heavy fastball coupled with a mid 70's curveball and change up.
Andrew Papp
- RHP - 2015 - Raleigh, NC - USA
Andrew Papp has the type of frame scouts drool over at 6'4" 195 lbs and he has plenty of time to fill out. The North Carolina native possesses a high tempo repeatable delivery and showed plus command of his fastball which topped at 89. Papp flashed a mid 70's slider and change up as well.
Isaiah White
- OF - 2015 - Wilson, NC - USA
White is a rare breed of game changing speed that profiles to hit atop almost any lineup. He ran a 6.46 60 over the weekend, and threw 87 from the outfield. White lined a ground rule double to deep left field during the game, and showcased his speed by easily stealing third.
Brody Cook
- SS - 2015 - Silver Spring, MD - USA
Don't let Cook's smaller stature fool you; this kid is a gamer. Defensively Cook has a very quick release, and throws well from all angles. A quick twitch athlete that couples speed with power as he showcased by homering over the 375' gap in LCF during game action.
Dwanya Williams-Sutton
- OF - 2015 - Lucama, NC - USA
Williams-Sutton profiles to play a corner position at the next level. At 6'3" 222 he is an imposing figure that many would expect to see on the gridiron, but surprise-surprise he is a member of his HS soccer team. Williams-Sutton ran the 60 in 6.76 seconds showing his ability to couple power with speed. There is plenty of present strength and power in his swing. If he adds more barrel to ball ability he could really be a force to be reckoned with.
Trevor Newman
- RHP - 2015 - Marion, NC - USA
Newman profiles to be a power arm coming out of the pen at the next level. Although there is some effort involved in his delivery he pitched 85-88 while topping out at 90. He has a quick delivery and short arm action that is deceptive on hitters.
Eric Jones
- C - 2015 - Charlotte, NC - USA
Jones is a defensive oriented catcher that likes to throw. During workouts Jones threw 83 from behind the plate, and registered a 1.87 pop time. In game action he used a compact swing to generate good bat speed. He routinely made hard contact in the games.
Michael Davis
- RHP - 2015 - Lenoir, NC - USA
There's a lot to like in Davis' 6'5" 185 lbs frame. His long arm action generates whip as he pitched 82-85, and topped at 87. He used a mid 60's curveball and low 70's change up to keep hitters off balance. He's one to keep an eye on as he continues filling out and growing into his body.
2016 Top Prospects
Grant Bodison
- SS - 2016 - Simpsonville, SC - USA
Bodison projects to be a five tool player that is coveted in today's game. He showcased his plus arm during infield workouts in which he was 90 across the diamond. At the plate he showed an advanced approach and plus pitch recognition beyond his years. Bodison has a knack for making the game look very easy both on defense and as well as offense.
Cameron Locklear
- SS - 2016 - Fayetteville, NC - USA
Locklear had an all around good weekend running the third best 60 time at the showcase at 6.69 and also threw 82 across the diamond. Has athletic ability to stay at SS showing lateral range with a quick transfer and release. At the plate has a loose relaxed set up and swing with good bat speed. Uses mid field approach and makes good contact. Shows a high average hitting approach.
Edward "EP" Reese
- OF - 2016 - Lexington, NC - USA
Reese is a strong armed speedy outfield that covers a ton of ground as he takes good routes and gets great jumps. During workouts he ran the 60 in 6.78 seconds, and threw 90 from the outfield. Reese profiles to hit at the top of the order where he will use his fluid swing to hit for a high average.
Nathan Blakeney
- 2B - 2016 - Archdale, NC - USA
Blakeney showed very well with his glove at 2B over the weekend when he made two sliding tops up the middle in consecutive innings. He ran the 60 in 6.94 seconds, and threw 85 across the infield. He posses a lot of present strength, which translates into pop at the plate. He keeps is hands back and showed good bat speed giving him the ability to drive the ball to all parts of the park.
Nick Neville
- SS - 2016 - Fairfax, VA - USA
Neville is a great athlete that ran a 6.79 60, and threw 91 from the outfield. If that wasn't impressive enough his bat showed well in the games. He profiles to be a top of the order guy that can do some damage to all parts of the field. He may not catch your eye at first glance, but he's a serious gamer.

EURAUD short term charts update
Last week I had a trade open on the EURAUD but had to close it because it didn't break the bottom of the range. Yesterday it broke the bottom of the range so I'm getting ready to give this cross another shot. This is what I'm waiting for:
If it retraces back to the ST resistance level around LOPS2 and forms a significant pattern with downward pressure I'll go short.
I'll let you know what happens.
Trade Safe!

Considering helmets are dorky to start with, I have one on my helmet, but don't use it on the road bike. I do have a few caps for rainy rides that I try to avoid. The sun can be relentless down here, so nose protection is important.
Considering helmets are dorky to start with, I have one on my helmet, but don't use it on the road bike. I do have a few caps for rainy rides that I try to avoid. The sun can be relentless down here, so nose protection is important.
Bikes use brakes to stop.
If your bike has breaks, don't ride it.
My first helmet had a visor, but for some reason I decided against it on my new one. I did however go to wearing one of those dorky short billed bike hats. I flip up the bill most of the time, but flip it down when a hard rain hits or I get blinded by the sun.
The visor on my Louis Garneau helmet can easily be flipped up or down, so most or the time I leave it up. When I'm riding into low sun in the morning, I can pull it down to keep the glare out. I don't think I'd like a helmet with a rigidly fixed visor.
I ride early in the morning and in the evening a visor is a big plus when the sun is low.
I use a Giro Pneumo. Sleek, well vented road helmet with a detachable visor.
Visor can be good at night, you can tilt your head down and to the left to block on-coming glare from passing vehicles.
I'm visorless, too.
Visor always. Helps keep sun and rain off eye protection. Adjust the helmet so it doesn't block as much view.
A couple of months ago a lady I know crashed and face planted. Her visor took much of her impact and snapped -- it appeared to have saved her nose, eye socket, and mouth from more extensive damage.
Next time you're in your car, at 80 Kilometers per hour, strip down to your underwear and jump out. That's what it's like to crash in a professional bike race. - Jonathan Vaughters
I don't have a visor on my current helmet but am thinking about an upgrade. I have worn ball caps under my helmet but found they made my head too hot. are the cycling hats any cooler than ball caps?
I had one, but in my crash this spring, it broke off when I went down and would have gotten my eye had I not been wearing glasses. I went visor-less after. But that's probably a paranoid reason to avoid them.
Visors are for mountain biking/commuting IMO. I have a Giro Atmos helmet and I don't even think I can put a visor on it which is fine by me. I wear a cycling cap underneath if it's that sunny out. This is the first helmet I have ever owned and only problem was initially figuring out how to fine tune and adjust the straps.
3 out of 5 have visors.
I bought the upscale Bell Metro helmets when they were on sale several seasons back.
Main reason was the rounded helmet vs the spikes and wings on the road helmets.
I like the visor.
It does keep the glare down to a minimum and acts as a fair awning during those rainstorms we in the northeast have been experiencing all summer.
The two visorless helmets are lightweight expensive jobs and while I love the feather weight on a long ride, I miss the visor.
Visor, just cuz it was on the helmet I bought (Bell Triton). I'm riding a hybrid right now, so field of view is not an issue for me. If and when I get something with drop bars, I'll need to reconsider my position on visors, though...
Visor, helps with sun and rain.

I have a Visor on my MTB helmet. Visors block my vision when I am on my road bike. So I got a new helmet wit hno visor for road-biking
I like visors. Mostly because I can't read road signs without glasses on (no contacts available for my prescription), and I use the visor to cut down on rain and/or road-spray from passing cars to a minimum on my glasses.

2010 West Coast Race
August 25, 2009, 08:25:10 PM »
If we are to keep the alternate year, alternate coast major race for Minis it is up to the W coast Ministas to step up & start planning.
There is one DH Mini entry in the Pac Cup - ought we to follow this lead & work to have a Mini class in that race?
Based on 2008 experience & preferences it may be a good idea to consider a San Francisco start rather than a Victoria BC start. If Craig & Chris sell their boats there may only be 1 boat in the Victoria area. Trailering to & from San Fran may be easier for the SE guys & a little closer than Victoria for the NE 'ers.
What are people's thoughts & possible commitments?

2010 is alternate coast race. Left Coast, Gulf Coast or North Coast?
If the Left Coast Race doesn't work, then I am sure we could do a Double Handed Class in the Galveston, TX - Veracruz, MX race in June of 2010 or do something just for Mini's, starting and finishing in the same port on the Gulf Coast.

Hi Sam,
Canada also has a sea to sea to sea coastline - I ought to have thought about the 3rd option for the US.
Would it be more attractive to have a Gulf Coast race in the same year as the B 1-2?
B 1-2 in June (NE) & Gulf Coast (SE) in August?
As we build the race agenda the Left coast might look for a same year N - S race (Mexico) in S CA in May/June & a longer E/W (Hawaii) race in July.
So far out here, we have 1 boat registered for the Pac Cup, 1 preference for the SHTP, & 1 N fence sitter.

Problem with August in Gulf is the dialing up of Hurricane Season. Winds are light and hot, very very hot. You would have to carry the complete 45 gallons of water for a one week race just to keep a 2 handed crew hydrated.
I am concerned the economics, $$$'s and time, of two big races a year will split our fleet as most of the boat owners are not independant ly wealthy and still maintain jobs with normal hours.
The SHTP has been a dream of mine, just as the Bermuda 1-2 was. I have not elevated it to my 'Bucket List' but I might. Problem is the logistical challenges involved with the return trip and the overall time commitment.
I think Joe is on the right path of promoting weekend races, which are more doable for our contengency than a series of week long or longer races two or three times a year.
We have multiple long leg bay races in Galveston Bay, 4 offshore overnight races and 1 multi day ofshore events per year that shorthanded sailing is welcome. The Pinnaple Cup welcomes mini's as well.
Probably should move this thread to new thread or join it to the Mini Friendly thread that Joe started.

Just wanted to jump in here as well ...
Now that I did the B12 this year, I plan to spend next year actually learning how to sail the boat
I too am very keen on the SHTP, but for me I am thinking about 2012.
2010 will be a lot of 3day weekend races in the area (Block Island, Offshore 160, Vineyard, etc).
2011 Bermuda1-2 I guess

My idea is to try to sail as much as I can during winter (if we can call winter to San Diego weather) and then try to join the races from the 'Pacific Singlehanded Sailing Association' (
). They have a really nice SH/DH program that next year should include (if I'm not wrong, I've figured that out from previous years schedules):
Jan Dan Byrne #1 'Ship Rock', 47 nm
Feb Dan Byrne #2 'Bishop Rock', 165 nm
Mar Dan Byrne #2 'Guadalupe Island', 596 nm
I'll have to go to Marina del Rey (about 100nm north of SD) to start the race, and then sail back home, so that'll give me some extra practicing miles.
Then my next objective will be the 2010 SHTP, but I agree all the logistic mess it's quite complex.

I guess since I am the one who has entered the Doublehanded Pac Cup we all know where my interest lies. I would like the mini community to know that the race comitte has changed the race rules to allow us to get out there. They have removed the need for SSB (like most distance ocean races and the SSTP require) and waived the minimum length rule just for us. On the same token the SSS is happy to see us racing with them, however they are less inclined to work we us so that we can sail our boats as close to mini rules as possible.
If the logistics are a limiting factor I would be happy to setup the logistics as far as finding us a yard willing to help us put our boats together and store them while we ship our trailers over HI, additionally I would be willing to try to work group rate to matson for return shipment. The reality is that I will be doing half this work anyway so helping some others makes it that much more productive.
I think it is important for the class in north america to be seen racing as a fleet, I think your guys presance at the B 1-2 was amazing and important. It would be nice to see the sucess of that race follwed by the sucess of another.

I'm still fence sitting here.
The Pac Cup sounds like the best option for a DH race & the SHTP for going solo.
I think the Pac Cup HI destination is preferable & it may also be less expensive than the SHTP for getting the boat home.
I agree the fleet, because of the variety of boats & crews may be more fun pre start & post finish.
So I'm leaning towards the Pac Cup.
Any more thoughts out there?

The rules are finished - SSB's are encouraged but not required for the 2010 Singlehanded TransPac (nor were they in 2008).
Regarding logistics, several of us had good results with
In 2008 Larry worked through PASHA (vs. Matson) and was able to quote hard numbers that were competitive in a tough shipping market. Based on my personal experience with him, I believe Larry would do everything he could to put together a program that would work. It's not going to be cheap but the race and destination are well worth it, and it's a great group of people (ask Ryan).
There remains an interest in seeing Minis race to Hanalei Bay with SSS. It's the perfect race for the boat.
If anyone wants to talk about it, e-mail the Race Committee at SHTransPac-at-yahoo-dot-com There are no hard feelings or axes to grind with the current R/C - the problem before was the pressure to change the rules just for the Minis - that didn't go over well given the long traditions of the race.

It seems like a long race to do double handed .. would be a very heavy boat when pushing off in SF.

Not much heavier because (and i cannot find the NOR) the SHTP requires you to have 30 days of provisions and the Pac Cup requires 15 gallons of water plus a person plus food so it is about the same weight.
ULDBguy thanks for the lead on the boat transport, I will look into it.
From my experience racing the Long Pac this year the SSS is happy to have us, however like ULDBGuy says they are not willing to negotiate.

SHTP currently requires 21 gallons of water, none required to be in fixed tanks. This is primarily due to the 2006 and 2008 races being so slow/long - some of the smaller boats used most of their water. Previously the rule was 15 gallons - if we can get a couple of "normal" (faster) races in the books again, future R/C's will probably consider reducing the requirement.
Regarding other provisions, some skippers take "edible" stuff for the actual projected race days and grosser stuff (freeze-dried etc.) for the reserve period to keep it light. Unless your food is really heavy that doesn't add up to the weight of another person plus gear.
Regarding "not (being) willing to negotiate" I'm not sure what your issue is/was. All races have rules. The first time Minis were able to race in the B1-2 they had to give some ground to make it happen. There are quite a few in SSS who are keen on Minis and would like to see them take off, but you have to walk before you can run.

I do not contend that a mini loaded with gear for two Pac Cup will weigh less than that of a boat setup for the SHTP, obviously there will twice as much stuff.
I do not have a problem conforming to the rules, and I do not mind proving that my boat is seaworthy. My experience has been that the everyone with the SSS has been supportive, and willing to work with any racer. I am just saying that the SSS is very through compared to other race committees.
What it really comes down to is who is willing to race, and in what race. Having worked with both groups I know we can get support for either race. As I said before I am in for the Pac Cup, and if we get five boat we get our own class.

So looks like I'm the only one who prefers to go singlehanded...
As for the race rules, I'd like to sail following the French mini class rules, but if that can not happen because of SSS rules, I may consider to race with SSS rules, as ULDBGuy says, somebody has to walk there first before they 'open' their rules for us to run.
Nothing final yet, as I need lots of practicing and boat preparation, but it's definitely on my todo list for next year.
I will be contacting the Race Committee on the email below, anybody else interested so we can cc each other and don't contact them twice? :-)

What is a good focal length for doing macro plant photography?
I'm shooting a gig for a local flower store which specializes in terrariums. These are small glass enclosures filled with a mixture of stones and other organic materials, and of course, plants. I'll be shooting scenes that are roughly 1-2 feet across and about 6-12 inches tall.

We had a great experience staying here! Spacious spots that have plenty of trees surrounding the sites. The roads appeared to be recently widened and improved making them easily accessible to all rigs. The beach is gorgeous and goes on forever! There is a marina too. There were few other families at the park so we enjoyed it mostly to ourselves! - Julwil
Aug 2012 - $16.00
Great State Park. Nice wooded sites, we stayed in site 54 which was long enough for the longest RV. No flush toilets but they do have a shower building which was spotless. The pit toilets are spotless too. Two swimming beaches and a small harbor and boat launch you can keep your boat in during your stay. The park is under utilized but a great family camping experience. All the roads in the campground except by the entrance are gravel but there was no problem riding mountain bikes and bmx style bikes on them to get where we wanted to go. The staff was excellent, very friendly and informative and they seemed to take great pride in their jobs and their park. One of the best experiences we have had in a Minnesota State Park. - wildcat63
Jul 2007 - $18.00
Roads interior to the park are gravel and are generally in poor condition. A large MH or 5th wheel would have problems navigating them. Of all the sites available, only two would work for a 30' motorhome and those are tight. This park is beautiful - sites are heavily wooded with Birch and pine. The beach, which opens on to the Lake of the Woods, is to die for! It has a marvelous natural sandy beach and wonderful wading in the lake - best I've seen. This park is very under utilized. Perhaps because it has no electricity or flush toilets, perhaps because it is so isolated, or perhaps because the roads are so bad, but on a Friday-Saturday stay, we were the ONLY ones in the entire Birch Campground. There is no cell phone or Blackberry coverage here at all. The Ranger advised us not to drive our MH into the Lady Slipper Campground (too tight). - AndersonFamily

Cristian Mi...ColombiaServicesFunding via Fundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD)
Update on PolicarpoPolicarpo is 69 years old. In his traditional family business, he used a Kiva loan to pay cash for fabric remnants from the workshops, to fill his orders from industrial businesses. His investment was successful, because he managed to increase his production and continue his business growth. Now he is applying for a new Kiva loan, with which he will buy remnants in greater quantity, taking advantage of the increased production in the small workshops in the months of November and December. The oversupply gives him the opportunity to obtain good prices, which improve his competitive position in the market. His success in the business consists of his knowing the market and the peaks of supply and demand very well and when it is propitious to make his best investment, to sell more and to set very competitive prices. His dream of prosperity is to continue striving to increasingly improve the quality of life of his family, and it is assured that this will be with his persistent effort and from the hand of God.
Previous Loan DetailsWith his previous Kiva loan, Policarpo bought fabric remnants and was able to produce several tablecloths which were sold for money. At the moment, he is preparing to receive a new Kiva loan so that he can increase his volume. He is planning to buy textiles because he has many orders and needs ... More from Policarpo's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
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.

Global translator wordpress plugin helps you to translate your blog into multiple language. Though in my previous post I talked about what problem I faced with Global translator plugin.
As it is in the previous post I talked about how Global translator plugin violates Google translation API TOS.
Another story here is Global translator plugin violates Google adsense TOS as well.
How Global translator plugin Violates Google adsense terms and conditions?
If you look at the supported language page, you will find that adsense doesn't support every language.
You can see the list of adsense supported language here.
Scroll down to the end of page and you will see these lines :
Please also be aware that placing the AdSense code on pages with content primarily in an unsupported language is not permitted by the AdSense program policies.
So you are stuck in a condition where your adsense account might get banned.
To get rid of this issue, one simple thing you can do is to disable the languages in the Global translator plugin setting page, which Google adsense doesn't support.
Though after disabling those language, your blog will encounter lots of 404 error.
Remove all those pages from specified languages which violates Adsense policies.
Use your Google webmaster tool to remove those links using directory removal method.
Now edit your robots.txt file to make sure Google bot will not reindex those pages.
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /sl/
Disallow: /ro/
You can see shoutmeloud previous post on robots.txt for better SEO.
In my case I have manually removed all the pages which are indexed from shoutmeloud in different languages, using Google webmaster tool.
You can also check I have edited my robots.txt file to disallow bots for those multi-language page.
Though it might take a week or two to see the complete changes on my blog index.
For now I will not recommend using this plugin for a while till the time we will have complete solution to the Global translator problem.
These are the major problems which I faced with Global translator plugin :
- Duplicate issues
- Violation of Google translator API TOS
- Violation of Google adsense TOS
- Webhost instability
I loved this plugin at the first instance when I was getting lots of traffic from different part of the Globe, which I never thought of. But after all this fiasco and issue with Global translator plugin I will play safe and before making any change on my blog I will do a complete research.
Tip : Before downloading a plugin search for reviews, best practice would be search for terms like Problem with **** plugin Issue with **** plugin. This will help you to understand pros and cons of any plugin.
If you are using Global translator plugin and facing any issues regarding this.
In addition you can also see shoutmeloud post on the configuration and use of All in one SEO plugin for wordpress SEO.

Heading to the necessary room may have never looked so good.
The men's room inside Nashville's historic Hermitage Hotel received tens of thousands of votes in a recent online poll. Tagged as "America's Best Restroom," the lime-green art-deco fixtures and interiors date back to 1939 even though the downtown hermitage was built in 1910. It's such a hit, the hotel claims it gets cleaned hourly and that women just have to take a peek every so often.

Crop could solve many problemsApril 05,2013
Crop could solve many problems
Hemp, anyone? An amazingly strong natural fiber, used successfully in wartime, illegal? Vermont could fund its entire corrections system with a modest hemp crop grown on state land. A larger crop could fund our entire social service system (there would be no need to nickel and dime our most vulnerable and needy neighbors). Vermont leads? Selectively, for sure. Cannabis, a weed, has many positive uses. Several states have recognized that the illegal status of cannabis is foolhardy and that marijuana is demonstrably far less harmful to society than either alcohol or cigarettes. The federal classification of marijuana is wrong and must be changed. Oxycontin, anyone? Or perhaps you prefer a little Lorazepam. We do have a serious drug problem in this country, and it may well be that history will reveal marijuana to be a solution rather than a problem. Things change. Slavery was real. The conversation has come a long way. Lets keep it going.

Nineteen elk calves were born this year in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and 16 survived.
Park officials said it's been one of the best years yet for increasing the herd. There are now about 110 elk in the park, divided about evenly among males and females.
Additionally, officials said the bulls this year have impressive antlers, which may mean that there is good forage available for the elk.

Have you ran the setup and configure your desktop apps in Office 365? This installs the Office 365 single sign on client, which will automatically enter the users credentials after setup.
I did not run the "Set up and configure your Office desktop apps" - http://screencast.com/t/fBgmlyd8si
Instead I downloaded and manually installed the Microsoft Sign On Assistance which installs the WebClient service. Is the "Set up and configure your Office desktop apps" doing something else?
I would suggest running the setup and configure desktop apps through the Office 365 portal. Also, I would check to see if the user has enabled passwords to be remembered.This might give you some help: AutoComplete Does Not Save Username and Password support.microsoft.com/.../306895

The speed limit on the Intercounty Connector (MD-200) will officially increase from 55 mph to 60 mph this weekend.
The highway runs between I-270 and I-95 through Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
As the old signs come down, crews are replacing them with slightly faster 60 mph signs.
The move comes after the Maryland Transportation Authority completed an engineering study and analysis of crashes. Both indicated a speed limit of 60 mph would be safe.
In January, two dozen Maryland lawmakers pushed for the speed limit on state highways to increase to 70 mph. While some nearby residents have expressed concerns about additional road noise, drivers were all for the faster pace.
"I think it's fine to make it 60 mph," says Michael Zazanis of Darnestown. "It's not heavily traveled. I think it's a safe speed based on the roads design. Sixty is probably good enough."
"I think five is fine," says Adam Fine of Gaithersburg. "Five is probably the perfect amount to raise the speed limit."
"I would take 65 over 60 mph. We are happy for the ICC. We could speed it up a little more," says Delion Campbell, also of Gaithersburg.

Judge and Hertzfeld Launch Touring Animation Show
by Eugene Hernandez
Mike Judge, creator of "Beavis & Butthead" and "King of the Hill," and Oscar nominated animator Don Hertzfeldt have partnered to launch "The Animation Show," a touring collection of acclaimed animated shorts from around the world. The tour, which will kick-off at Lincoln Center in New York in early September was previewed for a select audience on Friday night in Los Angeles at the American Cinematheque, following a two-day run at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin last month.
In addition to screening a selection of new and classic works from eight countries, tour programmers Judge and Hertzfeld will debut their own new work. Highlights of the selections include segments of famed Disney animator Ward Kimball's "Mars & Beyond" from 1957, as well as a number of Oscar nominees, including Tomek Baginski's "The Cathedral" from Poland, Koji Yamamura's "Mr. Head" from Japan, Chris Stenner, Arvid Uibel, and Heidi Wittlinger's "Das Rad" (The Rocks) from Germany, Cordell Baker's "Strange Invaders" from Canada, Ruairi Robinson's "Fifty Percent Grey" from Ireland, and Don Hertzfeld's "Rejected."
After launching at the Walter Reade Theater in New York on August 4th (including an anticipated run at the Quad in NYC) , the tour will be in Oklahoma City for three days (September 4 - 7). The program will also return to Austin for a one-week run at the Alamo Drafthouse (September 5 - 11), and then screen in San Francisco at The Castro for two weeks (September 12 - 25), followed by screenings in Norfolk, VA, San Rafael, CA, Santa Cruz, CA, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Chicago, San Luis Obispo, CA, Boulder, CO, Santa Fe, Durham, Ithaca, and Cambridge, MA. The tour is expected to run through November.

Dear Friends of MIR,
As many of you may know, Pope Francis will be in Sarajevo on June 6th. I have no doubt that there will be a large contingent of people from Medjugorje who will go there to be at Mass with the Holy Father. I know he won't be in Medjugorje, but he'll be close.
In anticipation of his visit, we are joining with other Medjugorje organizations from around the world and locals from Medjugorje in a letter writing campaign to the Holy Father about what Medjugorje has meant in your life. We are asking your help with this effort. Many of you have traveled to Medjugorje and many have felt the effects of Medjugorje without ever leaving home.
What has Medjugorje meant to you? Has your Catholic Faith been enriched by the experience of Medjugorje, whether you've traveled there or not? If you had a moment with Pope Francis, what would you tell him about how Medjugorje has impacted your life the lives of others that you know?
Fatima and Lourdes were only approved by the Church after the laity bombarded the Vatican with a serious drive for these apparitions sites to be approved.
The apparitions of Medjugorje, we know, cannot be approved until the apparitions are over, but Medjugorje has proven to be a holy place and a place that renders good fruit – by their fruit you can judge them.
Letters can be addressed to:
His Holiness, Pope Francis
Apostolic Palace
00120 Vatican City
From what I could find online, it looks like postage on a standard sized envelope with a letter to Vatican City should be about $1.15.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this letter writing campaign.
In the love of Jesus and Mary,
The MIR Group Board of Directors
P.S. The MIR Group would also love to hear your Medjugorje story. If you would, e-mail or snail mail us a copy of your letter for our archives. Thank you!

Lawmakers in Vermont weigh marijuana decriminalizationThe Associated Press | April 03,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is taking testimony on a proposal to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bill Lippert says he wants to scale back the original proposal from decriminalizing possession of two ounces or less to one ounce.
The Hinesburg Democrat also says the committee is unlikely to approve a provision in the original bill that would have decriminalized possession of a small number of marijuana plants.
Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn told the panel during Wednesday's hearing that a single marijuana plant frequently grows to produce up to a pound of pot.
He says that doesn't square with the idea of decriminalizing possession of a small amount.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The races might be new, but many of the faces are the same.

Pedro Almodóvar is one of the most respected filmmakers in the world, an Oscar winner whose films have become Cannes mainstays, and who's capable of attracting almost any talent that he'd like, despite having never made a film in the English language (although he says that one is on the one way soon). But his global reputation is all the more remarkable considering just how challenging his fare can be. His violent, sexual taboo-pushing early work is the most obvious example, but throughout his career his interest in gay issues, Sirk-ian melodrama, explicit sex and obsessive behavior has hardly been the kind of thing that usually makes the chattering classes line up around the block.
And somehow, he's managed it. And by "somehow," we mean "because he's a remarkable filmmaker." Totally unlike anyone else working (there's a reason you never really hear the term "Almodovar-esque"), his films, even when not entirely successful, are weirder, sexier, wittier, more puzzling, more moving and richer than 95% of the stuff that sees the inside of theaters.
After playing at Cannes earlier in the year, the director's latest, "The Skin I Live In," finally opens in the U.S. today and it is, suffice to say, a treat -- a favorite of many of the staff so far this year. Not quite like anything else the director's made, while at the same time sharing DNA with almost everything he's done, it's easily your best option for this weekend at the movies. And to get you prepped for it, it seemed like a perfect time to look out over the director's career. Here's our guide to the films of Pedro Almodóvar.
"Pepi, Luci, Bom" (1980)
Is there a better way for an emerging filmmaker to make a name for himself than with a campy, crudely-shot movie featuring a woman receiving a golden shower and thoroughly enjoying it? Trick question! There is no better way. Played by Carmen Maura ("Volver"), young Pepi is confronted by a neighboring policeman/scumbag about the budding marijuana plants decorating the window sill. Her cute demeanor doesn't get her out of trouble, and the cop forces himself on her – taking her virginity in the process. Pepi, along with glam friend Bom, decide to corrupt his wife Luci for revenge but actually end up enjoying her company. Poppy, trashy and completely amateur (the unskilled crew frequently clip characters and employ very harsh lighting), there's still a lot of enjoyment to be had out of this extremely weird world. It's definitely different from his more well-known contemporary work, but the regular Almodóvar elements – such as strong, complex female characters and explorations of sexuality -- are front and center, even if they are less seriously considered and scrutinized. Still, the director would have plenty of time to polish these things and establish his formal style. At 30 years old, he was more interested in making an off-beat culty feature where people forced others to eat boogers. And hey, we won't lie, it's kind of fun. [B]
"What Have I Done To Deserve This?" (1984)
Almodóvar is nothing if not a passionate cinephile. He stands apart from most film literate contemporaries, though, mostly through difference of taste. Whereas the Tarantinos of the world tend to love, say, the crime genre, Almodóvar goes for high melodrama and soap operatics. For some viewers, that's might be the kiss of death, but not so with Pedro at the helm. His control and mastery of tone is evident even in his fourth film, the first of his to get international distribution (and thus setting him on the path to where he is today), as is his love and understanding of women. 'What Have I Done' is in debt to Spanish dark comedies of the '50s and '60s. It concerns housewife Gloria and her pretty fucked up family: an abusive husband who drives a cab, her oldest son is selling coke, the youngest son sells his body to older pervs in town, and a grandmother sick of the city who just wants to go back to her old, more rural, home. Wives and mothers struggling to deal with everyday shit and searching for some semblance of independence? Wrapped around a fairly convoluted plot? A little twisted, but still a lotta fun, and funny? Yep, sounds like classic Almodóvar. [B+]
"Matador" (1986)
In this wild tale, swirling with Almodóvar's regular thematic concerns of sex, death, and Catholic guilt, Antonio Banderas plays a matador-in-training who, after accusations of homosexuality by his boss (Nacho Martinez) and continued harassment by his violently repressed mother, attempts to rape a sexy neighbor (Eva Cobo) and then confesses to several murders he didn't actually commit. (In a fanciful Almodóvar touch that also factors into the plot pretty considerably, Banderas' character faints at the sight of blood.) Whether to a priest or the police chief; a confession is a confession. "Matador" is filled with characters both fiercely turned on and hopelessly turned off by death, which makes even more sense when you consider that the film was made at the height of the AIDS crisis. (This isn't some historic reading, either -- at one point the director himself, playing a fashion designer, tells a model who is shooting up, "If you're going to do it, do it in the bathroom.") "Matador" is striking for its effectiveness as a thriller and its unhinged stylishness, particularly in an early montage where a bullfighting training session is snappily intercut with a sex-and-murder scene. [A-]
"Law of Desire" (1987)
All of Almodóvar's films have been pretty gay, even if they're not centrally concerned with homosexuality. But "Law of Desire" was the first one to tackle the subject head-on, which is evident from the lip gloss pink title card, right through to the ending. Made directly after "Matador," with a shift of emphasis away from the thriller aspects and more towards the oversized melodrama that has become an Almodóvar staple, it follows a homosexual film director (Pablo Quintero), his two dueling lovers (one of them played by Antonio Banderas) and the director's transsexual sister (Carmen Maura) who is dealing with her own set of problems. While the film is admirable for its difficult subject matter and juggling of multiple plot threads, it also falls back on clunky daytime soap opera clichés (including an accidental murder and amnesia). Still, it earns points for its daring subject matter (the Berlin Film Festival gave it an honorary award for its sensitivity) and for its numerous odes to one of Almodóvar's favorite directors, Brian De Palma. From the opening movie-within-a-movie to the expert use of split-screen, the influence is apparent throughout. [B]

Things were different in New York City in Mary Rowland's day. When Dr Rowland "talked a bit smart" to a policeman warning her off the horse trail in Central Park, he said he had to scold someone occasionally to keep from going crazy.
Dr Rowland's response to an episode of probable sexual harassment was to say, "Mister, you get going or I'll shove you in the gutter." The man's reply: "Oh, excuse me, madam, I've made a mistake."
The practice of medicine was vastly different too. Doctors had to know how to extract teeth and how to use the reins to control a runaway team of horses. Medical payment records, kept in pen and ink, had entries such as "by potatoes, 17.05." Medical science sometimes had little to offer, yet ingenuity and common sense accomplished much. We might even consider reviving a long-forgotten idea (quarantine) used to contain epidemics such

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday!
I started off the day with a quick walk to get coffee so that I could try my new shoe pouch for my Nike+ sensor. I highly recommend this for anyone with a Nike+ sportsband!
Since my mom is here this weekend, we decided to try another new recipe. We came across this recipe in one of her old cookbooks.
Chicken Stuffing Casserole
(My random purchase from a craft fair yesterday)
-Makes 6 servings
-2 lb. cooked chicken, cubed
-1 pt. sour cream
-1 can Cream of Chicken soup
-1 C chicken broth
-1/2 stick butter
-6 oz. package Pepperidge Farm herb stuffing mix
-Mix together the chicken, sour cream, and soup. Place in a casserole dish.
-Heat the chicken broth and butter to boiling. Mix in the stuffing mix.
-Place stuffing on top of chicken mix in casserole. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Next time, we plan on making some healthy substitutions, like greek yogurt in place of sour cream.😉 My mom brought leftover hashbrown casserole, which we had on the side, and 2-ingredient pumpkin spice cookies for dessert!
Do you substitute greek yogurt in place of sour cream?

I'm going, but no ride will be possible. Lord of Chainrings is the day before sis graduates from college! Huzzah!
Daddies excursion will be full. (those damn things are way to ****in' small on the inside. If you really need to get a large vehicle and a truck is out of the question for some reason, skip the SUV and just get a ****in van. C'mon dad.)
This is no cross on my hand!
2005 kyotoLOCO is coming up 23-24 september 2005.
from the website:
-What is KyotoLOCO?
KyotoLOCO is a celebration of our beautiful way of the life. And our aim is gain a common awareness of our job and culture.
KyotoLOCO-a grass-roots event promoted by only 8 messengers -is recognized as one of the most important worldwide messenger event just like CMWC, ECMC and NACCC. Last year, 60 messengers from the USA and Europe, and 340 from other cities of Japan participated the event. We are expecting lot more to join us this year.
-Why in Kyoto?
In economic scale, Kyoto is not competitive with Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya where almost all business happens. Yet, many people consider Kyoto as heart of the Japan. Besides Kyoto is the oldest city of Japan that has full of historical residues, the city is known for invention and innovation. There are 32 universities 21 colleges here. The students from all over the world bring their culture and new idea into the tradition.
And definitely Kyoto is the hub of the bike culture. Large majority ride bikes not cars. Exchange among cyclists with different interests is very active. Our web is on the street. Thanks to the size of the city, every time you go around the city, you meet a friend on a bike.
Please come visit us and join KyotoLOCO this year.
Info requested re. Bridge Battle, NYC, Sat May 14th
So trackstar says registration is at 1.30, whereas NYBMA says 12 noon.
So which is it??? Anyone know?
Brean, i'm looking in your direction... hopefully i'll see you there.
[For those that don't know the Bike Kitchen is an awesome cooperative, do-it-yourself bike repair shop in SF. Its a fantastic resource with all kinds of spare parts and helpful advice. Last year they had the dopest tandem track stand competition]
Come help us celebrate the Bike Kitchen's two-year anniversary. Last year's party was a success, but this year's will be even bigger and crazier. All ages are welcome to compete in our bike challenges, everything from the Slow Race to the Tube Patch King to the Huffy Toss. Cyclecide will of course be there with a bicycle-powered ferrris wheel and other extra-terrestrial contraptions, and we'll also be offering bicycle blended smoothies.
At 3pm, judging will begin for the HOMESTYLE BIKE COMPETITION. We have a panel of judges made up of some of the brightest Bay Area bike luminaries. So bring your fanciest, nuttiest or classiest homestyle bike and your could win our grand prize: $100 cash. And of course it wouldn't be a party without a barbecue, music, and a raffle with tons of great prizes. Train-wreck DJs Nathan and Jef Leöpard will provide the tunes.
See http://www.bikekitchen.org/ for more details
Damn, all these events going on May 21st...
My vote is for the Scavenger Scramble
(see first post in this thread)
"Wednesday: Single-Speed road ride, Easy to moderate pace, geared bikes welcome. Meet at Adams Ave. Bike Shop, 2606 Adams Ave. in North Park, 7pm"
This from the friendly DC DemonCats...
We have just been informed that we are to throw the D.C. Mayhem Alleycat!!! The race will be held on Sunday, May 29th, 2005.
The name of this year's version is called the "Holy Mayhem!!!" and will consist of 20 checkpoints scattered throughout D.C. Each checkpoint will be worth 100 points and points will be awarded to finishing order (i.e.: 1st place-100 pts, 2nd place-99 pts, 3rd place-98 pts, and so on down the line).
Race fee is $10.00. Start time is 2:00 p.m. at Dupont Circle. Registration begins at 1:00 p.m.
Not sure what the prize list will consist of. It may come down to our secondary motto: "Racing for Victory and Free Beer!!!".
There will be a keg of Yuengling at the very least! I know the Left Coast is going to ***** because it is the same weekend as the NACCC, but the fact is that I don't know of anyone going to the NACCC. At this point in time, if you don't have your plane tickets to PDX, most likely you're not going. No disrepect toward the organizing committee of the NACCC is intended. Just that if you are not racing there, you might as well be racing here!
Not sure yet what is going on in B.more or RVA.
Also as a reminder to everyone, next Saturday is the "SCRABBLE" Alleycat is in RVA next weekend on Saturday, May 21st. It should be a BLAST!!!
Not sure if this was posted in tis thread yet but here it goes:
ROCKY 3 "2 person" Relay race
June 25th 2pm registration Philadelphia Art Museum steps.
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Also, ride to NYC from Philly morning of July 1st for the worlds.
What do you know about Hawaii in the 80's ? Get off my wave !

Heartfelt and amusing little stories of my days spent living in the Friary Where St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina lived. For twenty months I lived among the Friars who knew Padre Pio well. This book tells of them and their wonderful lives.

Hi, soon after starting my Lincoln LS Sport the cooling fan runs at high speed and is loud. I replaced the cooling fan as I thought that might be the problem. But the fan still runs at full speed and is loud and very noisey. The temp is the half point on the gauge. I am not rich and I was hoping you might have heard about this from some one else, so I might have a better idea on where to look next. Thanks, Bob
