WASHINGTON — Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the embattled managing director of International Monetary Fund, has resigned, saying he wanted to devote "all his energy" to battle the sexual assault charges he faces in New York.
The IMF's executive board released a letter from the French executive Wednesday in which he denied the allegations lodged against him but said that with "sadness" he felt he must resign. He said he was thinking of his family and he wanted to protect the IMF.
"It is with infinite sadness that I feel compelled today to present to the executive board my resignation from my post of managing director of the IMF," the five-paragraph letter said. "I think at this time first of my wife — whom I love more than anything — of my children, of my family, of my friends. I think also of my colleagues at the Fund. Together we have accomplished such great things over the last three years and more.
"To all, I want to say that I deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allegations that have been made against me. I want to protect this institution which I have served with honor and devotion, and especially — especially — I want to devote all my strength, all my time and all my energy to proving my innocence."
Strauss-Kahn, who faced increasing international pressure to quit, announced his decision on the eve of a bail hearing Thursday that could have spelled the end of his leadership of the IMF anyway. He faces charges of assaulting a maid in a New York hotel room.
The maid, a 32-year-old immigrant from the West African nation of Guinea, told police that the 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn came out of the bathroom naked, chased her down, forced her to perform oral sex on him and tried to remove her underwear before she broke free and fled the room.
Strauss-Kahn is jailed in New York City.
The IMF's statement late Wednesday said the process of choosing a new leader would begin, but in the meantime John Lipsky would remain acting managing director.
The dividing lines are sharpening in a dispute over whether someone from a rich or an emerging economy should lead the IMF.
Europe is aggressively staking its traditional claim to the top position. But fast-growing nations such as China, Brazil and South Africa are trying to break Europe's grip on an organization empowered to direct billions of dollars to stabilize the global economy.
Europeans have led the IMF since its inception after World War II. Americans have occupied both the No. 2 position at the IMF and the top post at its sister institution, the World Bank. The World Bank funds projects in developing countries.
Europe has "an abundance of highly qualified candidates" to lead the IMF, German government spokesman Christoph Steegmans declared Wednesday. He also noted the relevance of having a European at the helm, to deal with the debt problems that have racked the eurozone.
France's European affairs minister signaled backing for Steegmans' position on Wednesday.
"The big question now is: what role for Europe at the IMF, and the (German) chancellor has expressed that very clearly," Laurent Wauquiez told Germany's ZDF television. "Who is the biggest contributor? Europe. So we should still play an important role."
Steegmans didn't name any potential candidates or say whether Germany might propose one. But German Chancellor Angela Merkel, along with the finance ministers of Sweden and the Netherlands, have pressed Europe's case for the IMF leadership.
Still, developing nations see Europe's stranglehold on the position as increasingly out of touch with the world economy. China's is now the world's second largest economy. India's and Brazil's have cracked the top 10. Many emerging economies are sitting on stockpiles of cash and have become forces of financial stability, while rich countries have become weighed down by debt.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Down a bare hallway, in a Minneapolis industrial building, behind a door with no name, is one of the sweetest secrets in Minnesota. It is the only production facility for Rogue Chocolatier and Colin Gasko.
"I love chocolate. I could eat chocolate all day," Colin said.
And he can. Gasko, 24, owns Rogue, arguably the smallest commercial chocolate factory in the world. It is certainly one of the best, as Worcester, Massachusetts native Gasko will admit. "Not to give myself too much credit, but definitely doing this on such a small scale and actually doing the whole process is extremely rare."
It is so rare that Gasko can boast that he is the only "real" maker of chocolate (from the bean to the bar) in Minnesota. There are only a handful of cocoa contemporaries in the entire country. Each of Rogue's $6-$8.50 bars comes from a single source of beans. That is, each bar is made from beans grown in one farm or estate in one country.
Gasko travels the chocolate world to find the right crop of dark brown cocoa beans. "I have some beans that we get from a small farm in the Dominican Republic and there's another one from an estate in Madagascar." He has also made bars from other countries including Venezuela.
The actual process of turning beans into bars takes hours, beginning with the exotic beans themselves. "We hand sort all the beans to pull out any defects or things that are not going to taste very good. Then we roast them, cool them off and we crack the beans. After cracking them, we have a special machine that then blows off the hulls.
And so, you're left with just the nib which is the center portion of the actual bean, what you would actually call the cocoa bean itself and then we take that, we mill it. Then we refine it down to a very small particle size so that it feels really silky in your mouth, about 20 microns."
The young transplanted Minnesotan is part chocolatier, part engineer and part mechanic. The machines that crowd the space of his one-room factory are as amazing and "jerry-rigged" as the chocolate. Gasko could not afford hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy or lease all of the machines he needed, even, he says, if such machines even existed.
"They don't really make small scale (chocolate) machinery. What I've done is come together with some machines which mirror the function of a lot of the traditional machinery used in making chocolate and modified other machines if there was nothing available."
One of those devices is a table-top oven. "We pre-warm the molds here. This keeps the molds from making the chocolate set up too quickly." Gasko carries the three-space molds to the one machine he did buy for the factory. It is called a "temperer". It resembles a kind of recycling chocolate fountain, with a thick drip of milled and melted chocolate falling into a sink to be pumped back to the top of the temperer and fall again. The machine keeps the chocolate in the crystalline state that Gasko prefers. He moves the mold into position under the rich, brown waterfall, giving each of the three spaces in the mold a perfect dose of liquid chocolate. He flips a switch and the table beneath the temperer begins to shake. "This is the vibrating table." He touches the edges of the molds to the table. "We'll just vibrate out the bubbles."
The chocolate quickly fills out the shape of the molds and is moved to cool in another of Gasko's mechanical adaptations. It is a wire shelf covered with opaque plastic attached to an air conditioner. When cooled, Gasko taps the now-solid bars onto a table and examines them for quality.
"There are almost no bubbles. It has a nice resounding snap which means all the fats have crystalized very nicely. That is the way a properly tempered chocolate bar should look."
Other than Gasko's website, there are only a few places where one can purchase Rogue Chocolate. That includes specialty stores like the Kitchen Window in Minneapolis's Uptown area. Owner Doug Huemoeller displays and admires Gasko's handiwork. "Each chocolate is so unique. That's the really cool part about single origin chocolate is that each one is so distinctive in flavor and that's really what makes Rogue Chocolate so unique and fascinating."
It is also constantly evolving. Gasko insists that the small size of his operation (just himself and 2 part-time helpers) allows him to experiment and implement change quickly. There are no added flavors to his chocolate now, other than a tiny bit of Tahitian vanilla. Even that, Gasko is working to eliminate, leaving his product consisting solely of cocoa and sugar. "There are only about 3 companies in the world that do that because it is technically very difficult to do in a way that has the qualities that you want in a chocolate."
It is quality, not quantity that drives Gasko. "This facility maxes out at about 4 tons a year. That is if I'm working day and night. We can do about 8,000 pounds which is extremely small. If you look at a commercial batch, usually they are in the range of 3-5 metric tons. So, usually a single batch (of theirs) would be our entire year's capacity."
One interesting possible dilemma for Gasko could have been the former GOP Vice Presidential candidate's choice of title for her new book. Does the "Rogue" name make some people think he is making chocolate for Sarah Palin? Gasko grins. "Well, actually, I've considered suing her because I came up with it first!"
He is kidding, of course. Fine chocolate, after all, is a flavor for all parties. If it is true that "good things come in small packages" then, in this case, the sweetest things come from the smallest place.

Veronica Roth's best-selling young-adult trilogy gets its first big-screen close-up when "Divergent" floods the multiplexes Friday. Will the dystopian tale of Tris and Four rival "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" franchises? Here's a peek at the movie -- and its stars, from Shailene Woodley and Theo James to Jai Courtney and Kate Winslet -- that wants to belong to the movie faction known as Blockbuster.

Children's Vaccines Health Center
Study Linking Vaccine to Autism Broke Research Rules, U.K. Regulators Say
Not Over Yet
The GMC will next decide whether Wakefield and his former colleagues committed serious professional misconduct. That could lead to being struck off the medical register. That decision may not be taken for several more months.
Wakefield wasn't in the hearing, but outside the GMC offices he told reporters, "Naturally I am extremely disappointed by the outcome of today's proceedings. The allegations against me and against my colleagues are both unfounded and unjust." He continued, "I invite anyone to examine the contents of these proceedings and come to their own conclusion."
Wakefield was cheered by a group of parents outside the hearing who are still sure he is right, even though his findings have been widely discredited.
"It remains for me to thank the parents whose commitment and loyalty has been extraordinary," he said. "I want to reassure them that science will continue in earnest."
Wakefield now works in the U.S. at an autism center called Thoughtful House, which he helped found. In a statement on its web site the center states that it is "disappointed" by the GMC decision, believing the charges against the three doctors were "unfounded and unfair."
On the web site's "frequently asked questions" the center asks: "Has Dr. Wakefield been accused of any breach of medical ethics while serving as the Executive Director of Thoughtful House?" The answer is "Absolutely not."
Safety of MMR Vaccine
The government and medical experts continue to stress that the MMR vaccine is safe.
The MMR triple vaccine was licensed in the U.S. in 1971 and first used in the U.K. in 1988. Over 100 countries now use it, and it is estimated that more than 500 million doses have been administered.
At the peak of the MMR scare in 2002, there were 1,531 articles about MMR in the U.K. national press; in 1998 there had been just 86.
Between 2001 and 2003, U.K. opinion polls showed that the percent of people believing the MMR vaccine to be safe dropped from over 70% to just over 50%.
U.K. Health Protection Agency figures show measles incidence increased dramatically following the drop in the number of children being vaccinated. The number of confirmed cases between 2007 and 2008 was 2,349, roughly equal to the combined total for the previous eleven years.

In this follow-up to How to Draw Cartoon Animals (Watson-Guptill, 1995), Hart shows young artists how to draw an impressive array of creatures. He includes many different animals, such as bears, penguins, horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a variety of breeds. In the introduction, Hart explains that this book includes edgier styles and more retro characters than his first book. The step-by-step, black-and-white outlines are accessible to beginning artists as well as those with more experience. The humorous and engaging characters include different cartoon "types" such as the evil genius or ultra-cute kitten, and there is a wide range of facial expressions as well. The simple text that accompanies each drawing explains the artist's choices and focuses readers' attention on important details in each drawing. Children will love this thorough and easy-to-use how-to guide.-Mari Pongkhamsing, St. Perpetua School, Lafayette, CA

Sasha Maria Baker
New Castle County
Delaware, USA
Sep. 15, 2004
New Castle County
Delaware, USA
Sasha was something special from the moment I saw her. I was at the SPCA shelter here in Delaware picking my sister up from some volunteer work, when I overheard a shelter advisor say that there was no kennel space left and some puppies and their mother would be euthanized. As I waited for my sister, I realized it was the small cardboard box of three week old puppies sitting outside receiving area with their owner. The mother of the puppies was there, too. There she stood, with her head between legs, knowing what was soon to come. Sasha knew she was going to die. In a fit of madness or exuberance or rage, I don't know which, I ran to the shelter worker and told her that I would take the puppies and their mother, to foster. I knew they stood a chance if they could come with me, and that they would at least have a shot at life, perhaps even find a family. After much negotiation and discussion, the shelter director agreed to allow me to foster the mother and her 5 puppies, barely 3 weeks old! Well, needless to say, that was an adventure of a lifetime. Making sure each puppy got a meal and each puppy had a warm blanket and was near mother. And then, what seemed like an instant the puppies were ready for their new homes. I returned to the shelter with Sasha, as I had discovered her name as the previous owner was leaving. He abruptly told me, "If she acts up or doesn't do what you want her to, just smack her." Well, Sasha wasn't any trouble, and despite the endless amount of work, neither were her puppies. Upon returning to the shelter with Sasha and her pups, I was welcomed, as a waiting list had formed for the puppies and everyone prospective owner had been screen carefully. One by one, the new owners came and received their new bundle of joy, signed papers and left. There was one more, except she wasn't a puppy. I explained to the shelter that I still had Sasha, the mother dog. They told me to hand her over, and they would euthanize her, as nobody wants an adult dog. Sasha had already taken my heart, and she was not going anywhere but home with me. When I brought her home I was quite confused, I wasn't sure if I even WANTED a dog. After all, I had just lost my father suddenly and I felt emotionally burdened. Well, Sasha removed all of those emotions and fears when I realized that all she wanted was to be loved, to have something good to eat and to have comfortable shelter. Sasha became the most loyal dog I have ever known. She loved me, and she loved the other dogs she shared her home with. Sasha was gentle, kind and dependable. She loved children and would lovingly give them kisses on a moments notice. Sasha adored truck rides with my now former husband, and walks where she could sniff trash cans. That was pure joy to her her other than her softened howl as I walked in the door every afternoon from work. She was so happy to see me, she was beside herself with delight. She would buck and dig at the floor when we made eye contact after she had patiently waited for me to come home from work. I can't tell you how many times I gave her ear rubs and belly rubs, and how she thanked me with those gorgeous, loving eyes. She was grateful for her home, and her family. And I was privileged to have her in my life for the next 8 years.
Sasha became suddenly ill On September 11th 2004. After a trip the veterinarian it was determined she was in kidney failure. The following day was too much for me to handle. It was obvious that my dog was slipping away from me. It was obvious what needed to be done. It was a very sleepless night. The following morning I told my then husband that I did not want my wonderful Sasha to suffer, and that it was best that we say goodbye. So, with a heavy heart and profound sadness, Sasha was put to rest on September 15th at noon. It is and will be the saddest day of my life for many years to come. When she left us, she took a piece of me with her. Until we meet again, at the bridge, dear Sasha! Mommy loves you.
Sasha will be with me until I die, when our ashes are intermingled and laid to rest together.

Olukai Nohea Mesh Dark Shadow/Dark Shadow Men's Shoe
Features include:
Great shoe, husband hasn't taken them off. A nice looking shoe with the convenience of a slip on plus they're very breathable. He's happy in them. Only bummer is they run a little big so order a half size down if you're planning to wear without socks
Actually saw these in Hawaii on a recent trip. The store in Hawaii did not carry half sizes so we found these on line at Footwear. Although the reviews said to take a 1/2 size smaller, I needed my regular size in these. They're comfortable and are a good addition to my summer shoe collection. Recommend!
I needed a pair of lightweight slip on shoes and took a chance on these. I have two pairs of Olukai sandals and I wear them whenever possible. I was happy to find the shoes equally as comfortable. These are easy to slip on and are very light to wear. My favorite feature of the Olukais is their cushioning. I normally wear a 12 and had to go down to 11 in these. They do run big.

I have Campagnolo record friction shifters from the 80's. Lookiing to change over to index shifters, can it be done? and up to how many gears 8,9,or 10 ?
I have Campagnolo record friction shifters from the 80's. Lookiing to change over to index shifters, can it be done? and up to how many gears 8,9,or 10 ?
Sure, it can be done. Since you have old Campy, you'll likely need new:
Rear wheel (with new cassette)
Crankset (possibly)
See where that puts you $$$ wise. It might be more reasonable to just get a new bike. Or live with the friction shifting.
Why "derailer" is the correct way to spell the gear-change mechanism: sheldonbrown.com/derailer.html
If you just go to 8spd, you won't need new cranks. Also, since you'd have a freewheel hub, you can just put a 7spd freewheel on it and it'll index perfectly. You shouldn't need to reset the frame, but the wheel may need re-dishing. This approach would require a set of Ergolevers and a rear derailleur (your old FD should be fine) in addition to the freewheel, and of course you should get a new chain while you're at it.
Cons: 8spd gear may be hard to find in good nick. You may need patience.
Pros: 8spd indexes a lot more reliably than 9, 10 or 11spd gear, and chains last longer. Cheapest option by far.
Or you could throw buckets of $$$ at it to put new gear on it, which as mentioned would necessitate new cranks, rear hub and resetting the frame (or using an off-centre rim). And I don't believe the newer stuff indexes as reliably, since total cable travel is the same to shift a higher number of gears. This means you can use new shifters with old derailleurs or vice versa, but it increases the amount of error caused by cable/housing ailments, making the system require frequent maintenance.

#4. Tech Marine: I honestly don't understand how people can play as him. The melta gun seems like a good idea, but its lack of actual damage and the fact that his RB is useless for getting a higher multiplier. Idk, looks fun, but he's just so
#3. Librarian: His RB ability is just too amazing. The only reason I don't particularly like him as my "main" is because he's only good in CC, making him vulnerable since every enemy in this game can attack just as fast as you can. Before the Sternguard gets the missile launcher, his ability is the best in the game along side the Vanguards.
#2. Vanguard: Lol. He's literally the Librarian with a better RB ability. I literally spent any level I played as him running around the rooms killing everything by jet packing into them! The only problem is that it's a little hard to turn, but thats not much of an issue when most things die when your un by em anyway
#1. Sternguard: So awesome! who needs the Melta gun when you can just rapid fire missile launchers? And over half the power ups in the game are centered around being at a longer range! Double Fire, Triple Fire, Quad Fire, Rapid Fire! The Bubble? Only useful at range! Shooting missiles while your opponent can't lay a finger on you from outside the bubble has saved me many a time.
If the Meltagun was ANYWHERE near what it is on the tabletop, you wouldn't need the explosives to blow up the battlewagons on level 4. That gun was DESIGNED to melt vehicles. Not to mention, its a HEAT RAY. It sets sh*t on fire. Just reach out an touch someone, then watch them burn to death. You dont have to do anything beyond sweep the thumb stick.
Also, the Vanguard is not 'exactly' the same as the Libby. His gun is actual far weaker.....which makes no sense as its a plasma pistol....and the Libby's sword is far better than a lightning claw.
As for the
(i'm not calling him the sternguard.....sternguard drop pod into a fight with combi-meltas. theyre suicide squads meant to blow up tanks), he's my favorite. But i highly prefer the Plasma Cannon to the Missle Launcher. the Launcher may do more damage, but a rapid fire, fire suppressing plasma cannon literally COATS an area in miniature suns....and from a table top stand point, the Plasma Cannon does what a missle launcher does, except better.

1996 Chevrolet Beretta Coupe 2dr Coupe
I had my Beretta as a first car for about 8 years until it was just recently totaled. It was an incredibly smooth ride and had very little maintenance issues. It leaked water into the car the whole time I had it, but that did not matter because it's reliability easily canceled out that minor problem. I would suggest a Chevy Beretta to anyone!
Very few maintenance issues and was very good to me!
I would suggest a more attractive exterior.
Awesome car. I have had mine for 3 years. I haven't had any huge problems just the basic maintenance. The car has gone from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia to the outskirts of NYC more times than I can remember. Gas mileage is good and a very dependable car. I wish Chevy still made them. If you come across one and you're looking for a used car, consider it. It's the best car I have ever owned
I have had this car for 3+ years now, and it is running strong. Has the typical engine knock that all 3100 SFI V6's make, most of them come like that from the factory. This car has made it through 3 minnesota winters, and has come with minor repairs done, mainly to the cooling system. Have gone through an alternator, that is a typical repair in 3100's. This car is constantly put under torture due to my lead-foot driving, and it still runs great. Bought this with 167,000 miles about 4 years ago, and $850 for a car that lasts for 20,000 miles and still runs great is definitely worth it. Perfect first car. Low maintenance costs. I plan to drive this car until it gives up, then rebuild it.
Sporty look, decent handling, good acceleration, great interior design.
A little more horsepower, and a tighter suspension system would be nice, though the Z26 has a sporty suspension.
Overall a great car for dependability. I have had repeated problems with the brakes (three times to Midas for front and back) and it took a little time to get used to front wheel drive. Not a good car for winter driving.
The automatic door locks and headlights come on with the ignition switch. Also the map light on the center rearview mirror.
This was my first car in 2001 and it still is my only car. I wrecked it once (my fault), but I got it repaired and I have never had a problem other than normal wear. I live in a small town of 8,500 and most older cars (not classics) are the Caviler, the Corsica and the Beretta. Practically everyone who has ever owned one of those three say that they won't die. I don't want to ever get rid of my Beretta.
Speed, reliability, and gas mileage.
Manual transaxle and more interior colors than just gray and maroon.

text: Wet conditions have finally returned to Eastern North Carolina after an extended drought across the region. Since January 1 the WITN weather station has received 14.60 inches of rainfall and is the amount is about 1 inch above normal for the year. At the same time in 2007 the rainfall deficit was about 4 inches. Our area is still considered abnormally dry but drought conditions have improved considerably. The eastern portion of the state is in much better shape with rainfall than areas west of Interstate 95, and that could bode well for agricultural interests in our area this year.

Agent 009 is murdered with a significant Faberge egg holding in his hand and Agent 007 James Bond (played by Roger Moore) is sent to investigate in the movie Octopussy.
James Bond - Roger Moore
TriviaActor James Brolin was screen-tested for the role of James Bond in the movie Octopussy, but Roger Moore decided to return to his role as Agent 007.
It did not appear in the script this way, but in the movie Octopussy a cyclist rides between two battling vehicles. This was so spontaneous and impressive that it was kept in the movie to provide suspense.
Academy Awards:
80's Film Facts:
The Movie Octopussy was released to theatres on 06/10/1983 by MGM/UA, and grossed $67,900,000 at the box office in the US on a budget of $27,500,000 .

Her fellow group members are Ervin S. M. y Milagros de Jesús D. who, as previoulsy mentioned, have been working for a long time in this kind of trade. They plan to invest in the purchase of tamarind and mango.
It is also worth mentioning that they have participated in the non-financial arm of Adim, that is, in the training offered on business development. They mentioned that is how they learned how to manage their businesses more effectively and where they received useful ideas.
Sus compañeros de grupo son Ervin S. M. y Milagros de Jesús D. quienes como se menciona anteriormente desde hace tiempo se dedican también a este tipo de comercio. Estos invertirán en la compra de producciones de tamarindo y mangos.
Por otra parte cabe mencionar que ellos han sido participes de la oferta no financiera de Adim, es decir del proceso de capacitación y formación sobre género y desarrollo empresarial. En este según comentaron aprendieron a administrar sus negocios de manera más efectiva y hubo un intercambio de viviendas e ideas de gran utilidad.
Additional Information
About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment. Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

HELENA, Mont. — Some Montana motorists, the joke goes, measure distances by how many beers they can down along the way. But the long-cherished right to have a cold one behind the wheel is about to end.
State lawmakers yesterday passed an open-container ban that makes Montana one of the last states to outlaw drinking while driving.
The Montana House approved the bill 76-21 and sent it to Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who has said he will sign it. It takes effect Oct. 1.
The delay is designed to let Montanans get used to the prohibition, which had been found only in cities and towns, not on the open highway.

Only Mississippi now lacks a state law against open containers, although many cities and counties there also prohibit open containers locally.
While Montana had stood to lose $5 million a year in federal highway funds if it failed to pass the law, the debate focused on balancing safety and personal freedom.
Montana has the highest rate of alcohol-related deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"This is one of those laws that will start the cultural change that we need on the highways of Montana. We hope that just the existence of the law will make a difference," said Lt. Col. Mike Tooley, deputy chief of the Montana Highway Patrol.
University of Montana sociologist Jim Burfeind said the state's status was understandable, given the long drives often required when only 927,000 people live in a state the size of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio combined.
"We think we're a very different place than other places and that we don't have to run by the rules that other people have to in more congested areas," Burfeind said.
To muster support for the bill, supporters accepted what some consider weak penalties for violations. A driver caught with an open container faces a $100 fine, and the offense does not show up on his or her driving record.

Cook Time1 hour
Publish Date: August 14, 2011
Brew the tea according to its directions and set aside to cool. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon Lo Han Sweetener until it dissolves. Add tapioca. Cook for about 25 minutes or until the tapioca becomes transparent. Stir continuously the last 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and drain. Pour tapioca into a bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of honey to keep tapioca from sticking together and to add a little sweetness. Refrigerate until chilled.
Pour tea, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon Lo Han Sweetener into a glass. Stir until the sweetener has dissolved and the milk is well mixed in. Add the ice cubes, and stir so the whole drink can get cold. Then add tapioca.
This drink can be turned into Bubble Black Tea or Bubble Chai if you use black or chai tea instead.

A deathly hug given by a short little girl. Starts out very friendly, but eventually she will constrict, much like a snake, breaking ribs, puncturing lungs, and squeezing the air out of you. You will die, but you will die happy.

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.

Headset too tight?
Headset too tight?
Last edited by Decatur_Tide; 11-22-11 at 12:29 PM.
Fork bent?
Last edited by Dan The Man; 11-22-11 at 12:42 PM.
The more you lean back, the better the front wheel will track. For really low speed no hands I need to have like 95% of my weight over the rear wheel.
If the fork is turning too easily then it is almost definitely not a tight headset. It is more likely a bent fork or frame, or perhaps a wheel not centred in the dropouts. Frame and fork misalignment will cause a bike to pull to one side.
Does the bike generally go to one side or does it flop back and forth without reason?
Last edited by Decatur_Tide; 11-22-11 at 01:19 PM. Reason: Added comments
Try it at higher speed. Many bikes are too sensitive to ride no-hands at low speed but stabilize nicely at higher speeds. Bikes with a lot of trail are particularly prone to low speed instability if ridden no-hands.
This is something I've never been able to manage either. I have a fairly heavy front rack on there and have always assumed that I didn't get that balanced quite right (or that I did something else not quite even when I converted from my old mtb from flat to drop bars, but it doesn't really affect my riding (except when I really need to stretch), so I haven't tried to mess with it.
If your headset seems either loose (you hear a clunking sound
and feel a looseness from the front end when riding over
rough roads or trails) or tight (the steering binds and sounds
crunchy, and it's difficult to ride no-handed), you can usually
remedy the problem with a simple adjustment."
This is from Bicycling Illustrated Bicycle Maintenance
But, I have no binding or crunchy sounds.
Can you ride other bikes with no hands?
If yes, then probably fork or frame or dropouts as previously mentioned.
If no, go a little faster and lean back further (both of which are counter-intuitive if you are not used to riding with no hands).
steering alignment may not be spot on,
whole frame may be twisted .
but that cannot be cured on a keyboard.
just hold on.

Comcast nuked my web page. It will return soon..
Agree with jeff... frame geometry has a lot to do with that. Some bikes are really poor designed. If the OP can ride no hands in anything else then is the bike.
I have a similar problem with the only hybrid bike i have, havent been able to ride no hand confidently in that one ever. I blame the headset that is garbage and clearly the headtube needs to be chased again because is horrible bad finished. Geometry is ok but not confident in that one at all.
I can't ride my new MTB without hands either. I blame the geometry, because I could definitely ride my old ten-speed long distances without hands.
The items that effect the self centering stability the most are:
1) How much forward the front wheel axle is ahead of an imaginary line down through the steering tube axis.
2) Mass of front wheel.
3) How fast are you going. For most road bikes you want to be going faster than 12-13mph before going hands free.
Depends on the rake and trail as well as speed. My current MTB (Moots Rigormootis, fwiw) is very quick steering, can't be left alone for a second. My previous one (GT Xizang) was built for an old short travel fork but had a more recent longer fork which I think may have slackened the head angle. Whatever the reason, it was more stable.
Here's the thing - although all of my bikes will do trackstands - *not one* of them will do wheelies. This may be completely caused by the rider.
I still like the idea of you going really flat out and
then taking your hands off the bars.....with video
to be posted, of course.

According to the AppleInsider web site, the altered response which would be filed on Jan. 15, 2009, if given permission by a Northern District of California court judge, specifically omits the Clayton Act and Sherman Act antitrust claims of monopolistic abuse of copyright that had triggered Apple's successful motion to dismiss in the fall. Psystar "respectfully disagrees" with the court's interpretation of a monopolistic market but will abide by the earlier ruling for now.
However, the cloner maintains that copyright is still at the heart of the issue. Psystar insists that Apple's policies regarding Mac OS X are considered abuse under the legally recognized concept of a "misuse doctrine," which prevents copyright from being wielded to block competition outside of any officially sanctioned terms, notes AppleInsider. Apple's end-user license agreement (EULA) is regarded as a threat in that it lets Apple have absolute control over hardware -- a component not covered under the largely software-focused Copyright Act -- and facilitates Apple's ability to abuse copyright law, even if it doesn't violate specific antitrust laws, Psystar claims.
Earlier this month Apple added new charges to the federal lawsuit it filed nearly five months ago against a Florida clone maker, claiming that Psystar broke antipiracy defenses that lock Mac OS X to its own hardware.
Apple also said others besides Psystar were involved, but it didn't spell out who. In a filing dated Nov. 26, Apple amended its original suit of July after it had "discovered additional information." Among the additions is a new accusation -- that Psystar violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by dodging copy-protection technologies Apple uses to protect Mac OS X, notes Computerworld.
Psystar -- which makes and sells Mac clones -- has claimed in the past that Apple has violated Sherman antitrust rules and other U.S. laws. Psystar claims in court documents filed in U.S. District Court for San Francisco that Apple "has engaged in certain anticompetitive behavior and/or other actions that are in violation of the public policy underlying the federal copyright laws.â€
In response, Apple said the defendant, Psystar, "is knowingly infringing Apple's copyrights and trademarks, and inducing others to do the same.†Psystar makes and sells personal computers that use, without permission, Apple's proprietary operating system software.

… It's a tough housing market even for shows about building houses. ABC has canceled its reality series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The final episode will air January 13, ending the series' nine-season run, but ABC plans on producing one-off specials. Probably when the president of ABC needs a new deck overlooking his infinity pool. [ABC, via press release]
… CBS has decided to switch up its schedule a bit before heading into 2012. Starting February 17, Undercover Boss will move to Friday nights at 8pm, pushing A Gifted Man back to 9pm, which is either a sign that CBS wants to feed viewers into the supernatural medical drama or a sign that it's giving up on the supernatural medical drama. Taking Undercover Boss's Sunday slot at 8pm will be The Amazing Race, starting on February 19. When A Gifted Man finishes its run, CSI: NY will take over the Friday at 9pm slot, beginning on March 30. I know, I can't keep track of all this nonsense either. But stay tuned, we're aiming to post a detailed midseason schedule for all the networks next week. [Deadline Hollywood]
… You love Psych! It'll return February 29! [E! Online]
… FX is teaming up with British "comedian" Russell Brand for a late-night talk show. So far the deal is for six episodes that will start airing sometime this spring. It sounds like Brand will host the thing in front of a live audience and talk about pop culture and current events. The only thing that gets me kind of excited about it is that Troy Miller (Mr. Show, Flight of the Conchords) is producing. [Deadline Hollywood]
… In more Russell Brand news (gag), Fox has purchased an animated comedy co-created and voiced by the comic. Details of the project are being kept under wraps at the moment. At this point, I'd trade Brand back to England in exchange for keeping Gwyneth Paltrow. That's how much I'm over him. [Deadline Hollywood]
… CBS TV Distribution has purchased syndication rights for TV Land's Hot in Cleveland, starring Betty White. That'll get those 18-49 demo numbers up. [Deadline Hollywood]
… CBS is bringing back Person to Person, the 1950s interview show hosted by the legendary Edward R. Murrow. That'll get those 18-49 demo numbers up. [NY Times]
… USA is developing a new drama based on Kate Warne, the country's first female detective. The show will be set in 1856 and detail some of Warne's triumphs, like when she helped prevent the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and served as a spy for the Union during the Civil War. [Deadline Hollywood]
… The nerd-ernet is ablaze with people talking about another Firefly revival. This time Netflix is said to be the one toying with bringing it back. But really, it's just one dude who said it would be a good idea. However, if you must get excited, go ahead. [Zap2It]

Help with scissoring info.
Hi, haven't been on much lately...dealing with something new. Scissoring and more solid numbness over entire body except my head amd twisting like a pretzel at night. Although, swallowing is off and finding enough air to breathe while talking is hard too.
Anyone experienced this before? Would you share? Thanks for any input.Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. Unknown
I'm not sure what you mean by scissoring, snuzzer. Is it like spasticity, where parts of your body are stiff? Have you talked to your doctor about it?
I have dystonia, muscle stiffness and pain, mosttly in my neck and shoulders. I get Botox shots for that every couple months.As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

I was having some mild scissoring and since I got the pump, am working really hard in PT to correct it.
From what I've been told it's due to hip flexion spasticity. Maybe a PT assessment might be in order. You've got to keep an eye on hip spasticity because it can create a host of other problems.
If I remember correctly you didn't have success with your last pump trial...right? Any thoughts about trying it again at a higher dose? It has given me ROM so in PT I'm at least able to start working on some of the issues that the spasticity has caused.
I have thought about trying the test again but when I found out that my Drs. have never heard of anyone flunking the test?????????????? Probably won't. I wish the pump was the answer. I just did PT but had to quit because of spasticity increase. I don't know. I am looking for a new neuro. Will see...
Stiff, yes then legs stay tight together when laying down and my left foot turns towards my right foot and the lower leg/foot wants to cross over and stay there.
My body wants to be stick-straight and rigid arm muscles are tight hands are stiff to bend fingers and pain. I take baclofen and gabapentin for it but neither is very effective. My neuro is aware of everything and by phone his nurse said to "up" my meds. He's not very interested in a 15 yr. old case of MS.
I thought Dystonia was muscle spasms and twitches, one Dr. thought thats what I have because my meds don't work for me. Thoughts? Dystonia all over my body, is that possible even? Curious...Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. Unknown

everything is identical for me, snuzzy
look at the bright side. scissoring is an excellent form of birth control
Hi Snuzzer and sorry to hear that you are getting tied in knots.
It sounds an awful lot like dystonia, and if it is, then it needs to be brought under control. It can cause an awful lot of musculo-skeletal problems if left to it's own devices.
That your PT increased your spasticity tells me that the therapist was not knowledgeable in working with spastic or dystonic patients. One wrong move with a dystonic patient can cause the dystonia to take over. A PT should know this.
Baclofen is often the treatment, as is Botox, acupuncture, massage.
I hope that you are able to get some relief. My feet go into "tone" often and it is very, very painful. I've had great success with acupuncture and also with a dear husband who knows exactly what to do when a foot goes crank. He knows the exact spot to press on to get it to release. It hurts like mad, but for me beats Baclofen any time.
Have to add lucky me, my son just got his graduate degree in Kinesiology. I'm his favorite test subject and there are times when he's asked me "can you make your feet go into tone for me?" Oh, sure.

Botox rocks!
Hi Snuzzer,
Sorry to hear about the spasticity issues. For scissoring, I've had really good results with Botox -- it blocks nerve transmission when peppered into select muscles (adductors, griselis (sp?)). It might take special approval fm your insurance, but the FDA approved it for MS treatment so it shouldn't be a prob.
Relief starts after about 2 weeks and increases for about 6 weeks. After that, your body starts to figure out a workaround and things get worse for 6 weeks unil you re-up. You can't do it more frequently than three mos because you'll start developing antibodies.
I'm in my second year and my results have been as follows:
Fall2009: 6 weeks improve, 6 weeks tightening
Winter2010: almost no effect at all (winter's my worst time)
Spring 2010: 7 good weeks, 5 weeks tightening but less over all
Summer 2010: 8 good weeks, 4 weeks tightening but less over all
Fall2010: 6 weeks improve, 6 weeks tightening
Winter2011: 3 weeks improve, mostly little help
I would definitely try it out. It's tremendous, esp synched with quarterly steroids 4 weeks in.
Good luck,
I think it can be in any muscle in your body. I've noticed my back seems to be stiffening more than usual lately.As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
