Vote centers save taxpayers money, but the county hasn't broken even yet on what was spent to switch to a new method of voting. But officials say the real payoff can't be measured in dollars.
Johnson County made the switch from traditional precinct voting to countywide vote centers last year. The vote centers allow residents to cast ballots at any county polling site, instead of only in their assigned precinct. The change also comes with a cost savings because fewer poll workers and fewer voting sites are needed.
In order to make the switch, the county spent about $136,000 on new equipment, including electronic poll books and signature pads that weren't required before the transition to vote centers. But officials expect the county to save more money each year, compared with what would have been spent on the old method of voting.
In the first year vote centers were used, the county spent about $60,000 less than in 2010 to pay poll workers and to buy their breakfast and lunch, according to the Johnson County Auditor's Office. And taxpayers are expected to save about $58,000 on elections in 2014, compared with what was spent in 2012.
Most of the savings comes from fewer workers needed to run the election. Instead of having about 500 people running the county's 134 precincts in more than 70 locations, the county now needs fewer than 200 poll workers on Election Day.
How much spent could change in future years since the county has had only the 2012 primary and general elections using the vote centers. The county likely will continue to tweak factors that could change the costs, such as the number of early-voting sites and how long those are open, how many workers are assigned to each vote center and future equipment purchases. But last year, voters cast ballots in a presidential race, which brings the highest turnout. In future elections for local races, fewer vote centers may be needed, so costs would be less, Johnson County Clerk Sue Ann "Susie"
Misiniec said.
Equipment upgrades also will cost less, since the county will need to buy fewer voting machines. The county has 472 voting machines, which were purchased in the early 2000s, but would need to buy only about 250 when those machines must be replaced. That reduction in machines could save the county $1 million or more.
However, convenience for voters, not cost savings, is the main benefit and reason why the county decided to make the switch,
Misiniec said.
"When we started in on this, Jo Ann Stewart from Wayne County sat down with our election board and our committee and said, 'If you go into this as cost savings only, you will not be successful. You need to go into it as you're making it more convenient and accessible to the voter,'" Misiniec said.
In precinct voting, the county had to provide five workers for each precinct. Countywide elections, where all voters can cast ballots, required about 500 workers, and each was paid about $150 for the day. With vote centers, some sites could operate with five poll workers, but others needed more. In total, the county now needs fewer than 200 workers for an election, she said.
In 2010, the county spent $137,000 on poll workers, which dropped to $87,000 with vote centers in 2012.
"For us to go from 134 precincts and staffing those to 22 vote center locations, that was a wonderful thing, and it was a cost savings right off the top," Misiniec said.
Having vote centers also allows the county to offer more opportunities to vote early, instead of having only one site at the courthouse before the election. Offering early-voting sites is convenient for voters but also adds to the cost because poll workers need to be paid. The county spent about $6,000 more in 2012 to pay poll workers for early voting, and Misiniec plans to increase that amount in 2014. She is increasing the amount she wants to spend on early-voting sites by about $6,000 but reducing the amount needed for Election Day workers by $40,000, she said.
For example, in 2014, poll workers could set up early-voting sites at the Franklin United Methodist Community, Indiana Masonic Home and Greenwood Village South retirement communities to give elderly residents the opportunity to vote early without having to travel to a vote center on Election Day, Misiniec said. Popular vote centers at places such as Jonathan Byrd's Cafeteria in Greenwood also might open on additional weekends, she said.
Those changes will slightly increase costs but will allow more people to cast ballots early and reduce lines on Election Day, which was a problem in the May 2012 primary. Voters were stuck in long lines because not enough voting machines were sent to each location. Those tweaks were made in November, and long lines shouldn't be a problem during 2014 elections, she said.
"Now that we're in it, I don't see that anyone would want to go backwards. People overall like it," she said.

Associated Press Release
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- A billboard in South Florida wishes a mother a happy birthday -- and asks the public to do the same.
Julie Bricker told WPTV she wanted to do something special for her mother's 60th birthday. The billboard in Boca Raton says: "Wish Mary Jane a Happy 60th Birthday." The sign even includes a number to call or text. Bricker says her mother has received almost 100 messages so far.
The billboard located on the southbound side of Interstate 95 will be up until 10 p.m. Thursday.
Bricker, the media director at an advertising agency, said Clear Channel Communications created the billboard.

In trying to replace the serpentine belt on my 1995 lexus GS300 I've come across a problem. I can't get it to fit. Here's what I've tried: Loosening the tensioner bolt, this didn't seem to make any difference at all. There only appears to be one slide bolt behind the power steering pulley, do I need to loosen this in order to slip the belt on properly?

This is a gem of a state park. It is well off the beaten path, down in a valley surrounded by limestone cliffs and adjoins the Pecos river.
The sites are generously sized and easy to access. The dump station was neat and well organized.
The road fro I25 down to the park is a bit of a challenge but our 31' TT did just fine. - n2916s

Almost a hidden gem, this campsite. Friendly & helpful ranger. Quiet and spacious campsite with marvellous views along the Pecos River. We did enjoy a few small hikes (not too difficult) and certainly the dolce far niente atmosphere here.
Travelling through we camped here for two nights. - Eisenga
Jun 2011 - $14.00
We really enjoyed this park. The park is a little bit of a trek to get to, and you drive through the little town/village of Villanueva which looks like a little town plucked out of Central America with run down houses and shanties. Once in the park: it's a beautiful little park, with the Pecos River running through it. The kids loved playing in the river, we also hiked to the top of the canyon which had great views. Kids road bikes through the park and meet several other kids who were staying in park. The other campers were nice and helpful. They clean the restrooms twice a day, and the showers had good hot water. Forget trying to get OTA TV service or cell service, as the park is located in the bottom of a canyon. We would stay here again. Yes, it does not have a ton of amenities, but its a State park and for $14 there is not much one can complain about. - TXDego

Random dragon by monikapaloszWatch

Whoa! Love the unfinished feel
Remind me a lot of the animated movie "How to train your dragon"!
I love the movie and love your drawing!
At first sight, I agree. Even so, since I began to read the Wings of Fire series, it strongly reminds me of the Sandwing dragons (BTW, a gang of brutish abusers and assassins ... at least their queen is decidedly unfemenine!)
Would you recommend the series? It sounds great!
As far as I have read, it's excellent! One of the best I have ever read, almost par with the Black Gryphon trilogy and certainly at the same level of the Spellsinger series.
Good news: I got volumes I and III; bad news, can't find volume II...thank goodness dragons are considered as more than the classical, stupid, brute villain.
I love your colouruse. This looks great!
Sweet !
dude fuuuck T_T
Dragon with a rider it seems.
It's a little surprising how much can be seen without many details given.
I love the use of complimentary colours here!
Great color and lighting. Dynamic. Lovely.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Sah ;u;
Well done!
I think that is awesome. That actually looks like real paint . Great job. Continue your good work

Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on May 10, 2012.
Help us continue the rich tradition of poetry and performance arts at the legendary Bowery Poetry Club in New York City.
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on May 10, 2012.
^^ A prime example of the art we promote! Check our video out! ^^
The Bowery Poetry Club (BPC), where Poets are Born and the Poetry is Spoken, needs your assistance in a real way. With your help, our space will morph into a super cafe/restaurant that will provide a beautiful space for spoken word, poetry, slam as well as other arts of the Bowery: burlesque, vaudeville, and music. This is a unique concept for those who love a great show, great food and a great price. Combining our already incredible lineup of entertainment and arts for the community with a special dinning experience that would include a bar, cafe/restaurant and a remodeled performance space, we'll be aiming to become a central hub for poets, musicians, actors, as well as lovers and supporters of the arts in New York City. Your contributions will go directly to renovations of the Bowery Poetry Club that will optimize the current performance, bar, and cafe space into a streamlined arts center that will generate revenue for the continuance of this legendary arts community.
Our regularly scheduled programs includes: Urbana Poetry Slam (a three time National Poetry Slam Championship series), Wordshop, Segue, Page Meets Stage, American Sign Language Slam, Taylor Mead, Bowery Kids, Carmine Street Metrics, Sacapuntas, Rev Jen, Bowwow, Sticky, Symphonics Live, Dr. Sketchy, School of Burlesque, NYC Talent show and 60 more each month!The Bowery Poetry Club is a New York City poetry performance space founded by Bob Holman in 2002. Located at 308 Bowery, between Bleecker and Houston Streets in Manhattan's East Village, the BPC provides a home base for established and upcoming artists. "Events at Bowery Poetry Club feel less like staid literary readings than big, friendly parties replete with alcohol, conversation and some of the last edginess on the Bowery not yet channeled into hotels." - The Villager. Time Out New York says, "The name of this colorful joint on the Bowery reveals its poetry-slam roots, but it's also the truest current iteration of the East Village's legendary arts scene." Go City Kids says, "Billed as a playground for language, the Bowery Poetry Club extends a welcoming hand to youngsters who love words with the Bowery Kids series of kid-friendly shows and readings." Bowery Arts and Science, Ltd. (BA+S): Our mission is to encourage cooperation among and advancement of poets, performers, writers, producers, publishers and others engaged in artistic activities; to develop and produce works by emerging poets and performers for performance on stage, television, film and other media; to conduct tours and hold exhibitions; to promote the study, improvement and advancement of the arts. We are proud of our place in the lineage of populist art: the Yiddish theater, burlesque, vaudeville, beat poetry, jazz, and punk that gave the Bowery its name. To that end BA+S is dedicated preserving and advancing the arts and culture of New York City's Bowery. BA+S is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1995. Our first project was the award winning PBS series, "The United States of Poetry." We are dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the oral tradition of poetry via live readings, media documentation and creation, and to elevating the status of poetry to that of its sister arts. Our mission includes a strong educational component, introducing all manner of poetries including American Sign Language poetry to students of all ages; the preservation of endangered languages via the valuation of the poetry of these cultures; and the infusion and integration of poetry with other arts and into the daily life of the community.
The Bowery Poetry Club operates under the umbrella of the non-profit, Bowery Arts and Sciences (BAS).

Your expert advise would be appreciated. I just had a contractor install a Sterling tub, fiberglass surround, and sliding glass shower door. In the lower corner where the shower door meets the bathtub, it leaks. This is on the wall opposite the shower head. The contractor disassembled the tub twice and it still leaks. The water will continue to leak out 20 minutes after the shower is done. Does anyone have any input?
The Sterling units are my favorite. Although you said he disassembled the tub twice I presume you mean the shower door. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The bottom rail of the door is set in a body of siliconized caulk. Mostbottom rails have weep holes on the inside of the that should be left open. The riser pieces on each edge are also set in a bed. Often we must trim a curve on the bottom of the shower jam so that it fits the rounded edge of some Sterling models.
Were these Sterling doors? They don't have to be I'm just wondering.

California Governor Signs Two Social Media Privacy Bills
California Governor, Jerry Brown, has signed two bills that prohibited employers and schools from demanding applicants share their social media credentials and related private content. The bills will go into effect starting January 1, 2013.
The two social media protection bills are Assembly Bill (AB) -1844, which bans employers from demanding social media-related material (such as usernames and passwords) from prospective employees or logging into social media in their presence. The bill also protects workers from employer retaliation in case they refuse to comply with the demands. The second bill is Senate Bill (SB) -1349, which basically describes a similar policy for colleges and prospective students.
Governor Jerry Brown announced this news through his Facebook account last week: "Today I am signing Assembly Bill 1844 and Senate Bill 1349, which prohibit universities and employers from demanding your email and social media passwords". He added: "California pioneered the social media revolution. These laws protect Californians from unwarranted invasions of their social media accounts."
Nowadays, many employers use social media to gather information about their perspective employees. Some do it clandestinely, but some employers are very open about it. Do you agree that employers should be allowed to research their perspective employees through social media? Share your opinion in the comment below.

Without admitting wrongdoing, Department of Corrections Director John Baldwin says his agency is building four new mental health units, hiring more staff, and changing its policies on solitary confinement. Does Illinois Put Too Many Prisoners In Solitary? By Brian Mackey • May 11, 2016 The use of solitary confinement has drawn increasing scrutiny nationwide. And last week, the John Howard Association issued a statement (PDF) on the practice in Illinois prisons. The John Howard Association is an independent watchdog, monitoring conditions and advocating for more humane treatment in Illinois prisons. We spoke to the group's director, Jennifer Vollen-Katz. Lawyer: Mentally Ill Inmate Being 'Tortured' By Brian Mackey • Apr 6, 2016 Google Maps Last December, the state of Illinois tentatively agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over the treatment of prisoners with mental illness. But changes to mental health at the Department of Corrections have been slow in coming, in part because Illinois has gone more than 9 months without a budget. Diversion Programs Pinched By Lack Of Illinois Budget By Sarah.Mueller • Feb 8, 2016 Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner wants to reduce the state's prison population by twenty-five percent in the next 10 years. But the state's budget impasse is putting ex-offenders at greater risk of returning to prison. Governor 'Guarantees' Criminal Justice Reform Push By Brian Mackey • Jan 14, 2016 Brian Mackey / WUIS Gov. Bruce Rauner endorsed the work of his criminal justice commission Thursday. He also made an unusual statement on prisons. Commissioners are still working to reach Rauner's goal of reducing Illinois' inmate population by 12,000 men and women over the next decade. They have delivered their first set of recommendations, and Rauner told commissioners he was excited about the report, calling it "excellent." "What I can guarantee you: I will work tirelessly to make sure this isn't just something that just gathers dust," he said. "I'm going to implement this." Deal Reached In Class Action Suit On Mentally Ill Inmates By Associated Press • Dec 23, 2015 flickr/meeshpants Lawyers representing 11,000 mentally ill Illinois prisoners have reached a settlement with the state in a 2007 class-action lawsuit alleging that substandard treatment constituted ``cruel and unusual punishment.'' Wiener Spice, Flavored Condoms and Other Tales of Procurement By Brian Mackey • Dec 16, 2015 Jeremy Brooks / via Flickr.com/jeremybrooks Even though much of Illinois government is operating without a budget, the state is still looking to spend money. Right now, on Illinois' procurement website, there are dozens of notices. Reporter Kurt Erickson returns to State of the State for a procurement primer. TRANSCRIPT: From NPR Illinois, it's State of the State. I'm Brian Mackey, and the state of the state today is on a buying spree. SOUNDBITE: "And they ran out of hot dog spice, or wiener spice, as I called it. And they had to go out and try to find some and emergency purchase." Governor Names New Director Of Prison System By Bill Wheelhouse • Mar 9, 2015 Governor Bruce Rauner has named an official with the U.S. State Department to lead the Illinois Department of Corrections. A statement Monday from the Governor's office says Rauner selected 54 year old Donald Stolworthy to head Corrections. According to the release from the Governor, Stolworthy has 15 years of corrections experience. He currently works at the State Department in the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs where he assesses foreign prison systems. Governor Visits State Prison — First Time In Years By Brian Mackey • Feb 11, 2015 Brian Mackey/WUIS Gov. Bruce Rauner visited a state prison Wednesday. It's the first time a sitting governor has done that in years. Rauner says an overhaul of Illinois' criminal justice system a priority for his administration. "The Department of Corrections is operating at more than 150 percent of its design capacity," Rauner says. "That is unsafe to both inmates and staff." Union: Understaffing & Overcrowding At Logan Cause Problems By Associated Press • Jan 16, 2015 Google Maps The union that represents Illinois prison guards says inmates at the Logan Correctional Center committed about 400 assaults since the lockup was converted to an all-women facility in 2013. However, Corrections Department officials are disputing the numbers. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees released documents Thursday showing assaults ranging from spitting to fighting, kicking and punching. Adult Redeploy: Paying To Keep People Out Of Prison By Brian Mackey • Jan 1, 2015 flickr/dnak Illinois has a clear ambition for what it would like to do with members of its criminal class, and it's right there in the name of the state agency set up to deal with them: the Department of Corrections. But there is a wide gap between ambition and practice. This is not to blame the department: politicians enacted the policies that have swelled the prison population, and politicians are largely responsible for the dire financial condition of the state that has squeezed agencies like the DOC. Report Faults State For Closing Women's Prison By Brian Mackey • Dec 15, 2014 Google Maps Illinois' main prison for women has nearly 2,000 inmates. An outside monitor says that's the result of poor planning when Illinois closed the prison at Dwight nearly two years ago. The majority of Illinois female inmates are incarcerated at Logan Correctional Center in central Illinois. John Howard Association director John Maki says the state ought not be housing 1,985 women in a prison built to hold 1,106. Doing Right By The Kids By Caitlin Rydinsky • Dec 1, 2014 This story first appeared in the June 2014 issue. Special monitoring visits to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice recently found youth detainees mowing lawns and building shelves rather than attending educational courses. Monitors discovered youth being given medication with inadequate consent and living in rooms that were improperly maintained. Facilities were found to lack the proper staff to treat juvenile offenders with mental illnesses. Criminal Sentencing - A State Legislative Panel Looks At Whether There's A Better Way To Punish By Brian Mackey • Nov 1, 2014 Not long ago, attempts to raise criminal penalties in Illinois were met with a standing joke. All such legislation had to make it through the Senate Judiciary Committee, where by informal agreement, it could only advance if it satisfied the sole criterion of the Cullerton Rule. On April 20, 2005, Sen. Edward Maloney, a Democrat from Chicago, presented House Bill 2699, a bipartisan measure that sought to raise the penalties for identity theft. After A Prisoner Escapes By Amanda Vinicky • Oct 2, 2014 Illinois Department of Corrections The state agency that oversees prisons does not expect to make significant changes to its operations, following the escape of an inmate last week from a minimum security prison located about an hour east of St. Louis. Officials issued an alert when 21-year-old Marcus Battice escaped from Vandalia Correctional Center, where he was serving time for stealing a car. Battice turned up the next morning, about three-and-a-half miles away. Series Part 3: Death In Illinois Prisons By Rob Wildeboer • Jul 10, 2014 flickr/Brad K. Illinois taxpayers pay a private company more than a hundred million dollars a year to give health care to prison inmates. Yet no one in Illinois knows how good, or bad, the care is. But that will likely change soon. As part of our series "Of natural causes: Death in Illinois prisons," WBEZ's Robert Wildeboer reports. On July 28, 2012 Elawndoe Shannon put in a request for sick call at the prison where he was housed in Lawrence, Illinois. Two days later, he died. Series Part 2: Prison Deaths In Illinois By Rob Wildeboer • Jul 9, 2014 flickr/Fiona Dalwood Between 80 and a hundred people die behind bars in Illinois every year. The average age of the people who die is 54. The Department of Corrections says it carefully reviews every death, but information on deaths provided to Chicago public station WBEZ was scattershot and incomplete. Rob Wildeboer continues our series, "Of natural causes: Death in Illinois prisons." Keith Dean has a manila envelope that causes him a lot of grief and regret, but he can't throw it out. Series: Death In Illinois Prisons By Rob Wildeboer • Jul 9, 2014 flickr/meesh Between 80 and a hundred people die each year inside Illinois prisons. Chicago public station WBEZ has been seeking information about those deaths, but the Department of Corrections under Governor Pat Quinn is taking a "trust us, nothing to see here" attitude. However, persistent and disturbing complaints from inmates and their families make it hard to just move along. Robert Wildeboer will bring us some of their stories and the department's response this week as part of our series "Of natural causes: Death in Illinois prisons." Ex-Offenders Get Job-Ready At DOC Opportunity Expo By Hannah Meisel • Jun 11, 2014 Hannah Meisel/WUIS In Illinois, 25,000 men and women are released from state prisons each year. Ideally, that means 25,000 people entering the job market. But Illinois already has higher-than-average unemployment, and a criminal record can make it even harder to find work. That's why the Illinois Department of Corrections is trying to lend a hand to ex-offenders through a series of specialized events. What Lawmakers Know And Don't Know About Illinois Prisons By Robert Wildeboer • Feb 20, 2014 flickr/dnak 75 % of Illinois lawmakers surveyed by Chicago Public Radio say they have never stepped foot in a maximum security prison cell block. And 40 percent of those legislators have never toured or visited a prison even once. Yet they're the ones signing the checks for the $1.3 billion dollar per year agency. Ninety-five of the 118 House members responded to the survey. Quinn Backs Corrections Director By Associated Press • Jan 8, 2014 WBEZ Gov. Pat Quinn is supporting his prisons director after a Republican challenger called for the director to be fired. Sen. Kirk Dillard is a GOP candidate for governor. He said Wednesday that Democrat Quinn should fire S.A. ``Tony'' Godinez for hiring a man with arrests and apparent one-time gang ties. Dillard says it's ``outrageous'' that ex-gang members are ``running the prisons.'' Xadrian McCraven was an $111,000-a-year senior policy adviser to the Department of Corrections' parole chief before he was fired Friday. State Prison Locked Down Because of Illness By Associated Press • Dec 4, 2013 The state's Department of Corrections has locked down the Big Muddy River Correctional Center in Ina after dozens of inmates started to show flu-like symptoms. The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reports that the department says the Level 1 lockdown means that no visitors are allowed at the facility and no inmates will be transferred. State of the State: Juvenile Justice System in Illinois Still Struggling By Jamey Dunn • Dec 1, 2013 mattpenning.com 2014 / WUIS/Illinois Issues When the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice split from the state's Department of Corrections in 2006, it moved forward with a distinct mission: recognize that youth offenders have different needs than adults and address those needs with the goal of helping them turn their lives around. State Failed To Keep Tabs On Decatur Murder Suspect By Associated Press • Oct 2, 2013 flickr/katerha Lawmakers say an early prison release law doesn't need changing despite a mistake in which a parolee now charged with murder was not properly monitored. Joshua A. Jones was set free in May five months early. He was charged with a Decatur murder three months later.Documents and Associated Press interviews show Jones was supposed to be electronically monitored but was not. State prison officials say an employeefaces discipline. Health Law Could Reduce Incarceration Rates By Sean Powers • Oct 1, 2013 flickr/sideonecincy Tuesday marks the launch of state health insurance exchanges, a major part of the Affordable Care Act. Among the many changes likely after the new health coverage takes effect: Fewer people behind bars. During a recent expo put on by the Illinois Department of Corrections in Champaign, Jeff Rinderle of the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District talked with parolees and former prison inmates transitioning into civilian life about the Affordable Care Act. Corrections Worker Headed To Prison For Stealing From Memorial Fund By Sean Crawford • Sep 30, 2013 A former Illinois Department of Corrections accounting employee will serve 21 months in federal prison after admitting to embezzling more than $50,000 from a fund meant to benefit prison workers killed in the line of duty. U.S. District Judge Sue Myerscough sentenced 47-year-old Mary Ann Bohlen on Monday. Myerscough also ordered the Edinburg resident to pay nearly $24,000 to the Illinois Correctional Employees Memorial Association and $27,000 to the state corrections agency. State of the State: Policy Change Could Bring Needed Reform to Corrections By Jamey Dunn • Sep 1, 2013 mattpenning.com 2014 / WUIS/Illinois Issues The Illinois Department of Corrections is in the early stages of rolling out a new systemwide policy that advocates say could be one of the biggest reforms in the agency in recent history.

Today it was +50 degrees and the roadies were on the MUP with tights, booties, full jackets and balaklavas. It was funny.
As opposed to denim testicle huggers, a boutique cotton hoodie with a fixie logo, and flashy sneakers?
Some roadies seem prone to going waaaaay overkill on that stuff but they might have started their rides when it was still in the 30s.
Wait, were the denim tescticle hugger kids outriding me? Or was it the spandex testicle hugger kids?
the "roadies" were riding farther than the levis 511s.
I ride baggy cut-off dickies.
Or Spandex.
Depends on the circumstances.
Jeans feel comfortable walking around, but they feel crappy on the bike.
Anyone ever have trouble digging a phone outta the denim testicle huggers whilst riding their hipster chariot?
%^cking things suck.
Yeah, those dudes have no idea what's going on.
Next time race 'em and show 'em what's up. Let us know how it goes.
i saw a kid today in lycra and a bib who couldn't have been older than eight. it was awesome.

I dropped a roadie going down hill and uphill while eating a bag of chips, all I heard was gears clicking trying to catch up.
I'm waiting for the day when all you fixsters are middle-aged brahs rocking all carbon fixie whips with your forty-year old guts hanging over 300 dollar denim testicle huggers struggling up a hill on 40 by 19 gearing on riser bars whilst some 14 year old on retro spandex is kicking your ass and laughing at you on his vintage 10 speed nishiki with genuine steel rims.
Oh what a beautiful day that will be!
Hehehee, I know a few riders in PHX dress like that for 50 degrees. 50 degrees for them is like 30 degrees for me...
1980ish Free Spirit Sunbird fixed * 1996 Mongoose IBOC Zero-G * 1995ish Park Pre Pro 825 * 1997 KHS Comp * 1990-ish Scapin * Lemond Buenos Aires Triple

Maybe the were up on the crest! I'll bet it was cold up there...
But, at 50, they should have started to peel som of that stuff off...
By the time they get down in the valley, they will be nice and comfy in spandex and jerseys...

Japan may have lost their first World Cup game, to Ivory Coast on Saturday, but clearly they aren't letting that get them down.
Some of the Japanese players attempted to heal their wounds, both physical and mental, by gathering for a pow-wow in a jacuzzi before their second game against Colombia on Thursday.
Shinji Kagawa was one player who particularly struggled against Ivory Coast, and striker Yoshito Okubo said some of his colleagues lathered up to provide him with some comfort.
"He really was on a downer but he is fine now," Okubo told Kyodo News.
"A few of us had a bit of a chat in the jacuzzi the other day. We talked about how the team played but had a bit of a laugh about how we were feeling.
"We told each other how rubbish we were but not to let it get to us. It's good to finish things off with a laugh. There is nothing you can do about it and there are still two games left.
"It is important to regroup. You can't dwell on things as it only brings a negative vibe to the team. The mood in the team isn't bad. There is no need to be down in the dumps."
That's nice.

Our second stay at this facility. Gate keeper, as in the past, very helpful in determining what site would fit our rig best. Water level way down from when we were here before. This time, weather permitted us to dry camp at the cottonwood area. Paved access roads but some sites in this area a bit "ripply" due to tree root encroachment. We had a pull thru that was mostly shaded and the river was just over a little hump of land beside us. Day users were in the 2 spots next to us even though the area was clearly marked NOT for day use. They departed within a couple hours and did not cause any issues while they were there. There are about 5 different camping areas with one having full hook ups and they are priced accordingly. Water spigots spaced throughout as are pit toilets which appeared clean. did not use the marina services including cafe although they are advertised at the park entry. In the past, we've used the full hook up area (Juniper?) and had similar good experiences. Would definitely stay here again. - pyrthkr

The campground was much newer than advertised. We used it for a base to explore the Mirror Lake Byway and Park City. Sites are paved and level with a pavilion for shade. Restrooms & showers are clean. Quite and wildlife was around Rockland lake. - G&S Smith
Aug 2014 - $56.00
We ended up paying for two sites by mistake Made reservation online. Nice site on reservoir but level very low and shore mucky. Hiking trail. Scenery ok not spectacular ok for boating. One of our party co showers ( free and clean) being non- adjustable and too hot. Handy to I-80 Site wasn't cleaned before we came. - dklrv

Believe it or not, its summertime in Seattle. Whether or not you have had a chance to get out in the sun, you can - and should - rock that sun-kissed glow. The best part is this look can go with any style whether it be boho chic or dressed up for a night out so whip out that bronze eye shadow and bronzer and glow baby glow.
Here are some of our fave products to get this look:
Gone is the day when blue hair meant little old lady. Trending all over the country is rainbow colored hair. Pastel hues in blue, pink, purple and orange are being seen on glamour girls everywhere. Not for the faint of heart, this current hair statement can be done on a permanent or temporary basis. No longer does cotton candy colored hair belong only to the Rainbowbright Pony or the crazies of the world. They will have to find something else to set them apart…'cause any glam girl worth her weight in hairspray knows that living in colour is where it is at…at least for this fashion moment!

"The more the merrier" no longer just applies to good company, but your jewelry as well. Stacking and mixing pieces not only can create more of a variety of styles with a few select pieces but also change the statement of your look.

Texas Historical Association Quarterly.
Sketch of the Early Hlistory of Bosque County (Meridian,
Texas, The Tribune Printing Company, 1904, pp. 14) by
H. J. and C. M. Cureton is a readable pamphlet contain-
ing many details such as from time to time are disappearing for-
ever from the knowledge of men with the death of old Texans who
have failed to write their reminiscences. This little work deserves
special commendation for the reason that, while it contains few in-
dications of the sources from which the narrative comes, it evi-
dently has fact rather than tradition for its staple, and is presented
in such a way as to win at once the confidence of the reader.
Analytical Index to the Laws of Texas, 1882-1905. By Cadwell
Walton Raines (Austin: Von Boeckmann-Jones Company. 1906.
Pp. viii, 559.)
This volume is a long-needed index to the ten-volume reprint
of the laws of Texas known as Gammel's Laws of Texas, -and in-
cludes as well the laws passed since that reprint. Though intended
primarily for use by attorneys and state officials, it renders much
more conveniently accessible to students the considerable body of
hsitorical material embodied, since 1823, in the laws of Coahuila
and Texas, and in those of the Provisional government and the
Republic, as well as those of the state. Judge Raines' long expe-
rience as state librarian and his reputation as a painstaking student
of Texas history are sufficient guaranty of the workmanship of
this, his last book.
The entries are usually full enough to constitute brief 'summaries
of the laws, and at their shortest 'they clearly indicate the subjects.
The subject headings are arranged in one alphabet, and are set off
by heavy-faced type, making the book, in this respect, easy to con-
sult; under each heading the entries are arranged chronologically.
One could wish, however, that the chronological arrangemen had
been abandoned in 'the entries under such a heading as "Relief

What a scumbag! And does the guy wear lipstick or something? Got news for you….purple for fall is OUT!
Messina looks like he has been drinking the koolaid and sucking on something else…what a turd. The only date he COULD get is a paper doll, so enjoy that, sir.
The main reason he's allowed himself to be portrayed looking like that is because everyone he ever came in contact with, including his parents, beat the snot out of him…everyone knew he would allow himself to be portrayed like that!
…and if I knew him 20 years ago I probably would have tried to talk sense into him then beat the snot out of him!

Will Manny Named CAA Player Of The Week
April 2, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - After leading UMass to a pair of wins against Harvard and Saint Joseph's, junior attack Will Manny was named the CAA Player of the Week as announced on Monday. Manny tallied 15 points in the two games thanks to eight goals and seven assists. This marks the second time this season he has earned the CAA Player of the Week honor.
His 8 goals came on just 9 shots and he added 6 groundballs and 2 caused turnovers to his weekly totals.
Against Harvard, the Massapequa, N.Y.m, native posted 5 goals (6 shots), 2 assists, 5 groundballs, and 1 caused turnovers. Against Saint Joseph's, he recorded 3 goals (3 shots), 5 assists, 1 groundball and 1 caused turnover.
For the season, he has 29 goals and 19 assists to lead UMass with 48 total points. Manny also leads the CAA this season in goals and points per game and is second in assists per game. Nationally, he is among the nation's top-10 in goals per game and points per game.
In 37 career games, Manny now has 76 goals and 59 assists. His 29 goals this season are a season-best for his career and he is just three assists shy from tying his season-best total of 22 set last year.

UN Permanent Observer Mission
IUCN maintains a formally accredited permanent observer mission to the UN in New York. IUCN has also designated representatives for the United Nations Offices in Nairobi, Geneva, and Vienna, and has participated regularly in mission-relevant discussions under the auspices of the UNGA and ECOSOC(UN Economic & Social Council). The IUCN's Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations was established on December 17,1999, as environmental issues continue to assume a greater role in many multilateral organizations.
IUCN is the only international observer organization in the UN General Assembly with expertise in issues concerning the environment, specifically biodiversity, nature conservation and sustainable natural resource use. The IUCN Washington, D.C. Office manages the implementation of this mission, with co-operation from the Environmental Law Centre in Bonn, and under the direct supervision of the Director General.

Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) is an Australian Research Council (ARC) assessment system that evaluates the quality of the research conducted at Australian universities by discipline. It identifies the research strengths of individual universities and of the sector as a whole.
In 2015, the third round of ERA evaluations was completed, the full results are available on the ARC website.
Information collected for ERA
The ARC collects information from universities about past research activities:
- Publications (journal papers, books, conference proceedings) and other research outputs (translations, exhibitions, creative works)
- Awards
- Grants
- Income from industry and other research users
- Income from the commercialisation of research
- Other applied measures such as patents
Research quality is evaluated in groups defined by 2-digit and 4-digit Field of Research (FoR) codes. The final report of the University's research quality will rate the performance in each FoR code against a world standard, using a scale of 1 to 5. A score of 3 is research at world standard; a 4 is research above world standard; and a 5 is research well above world standard.
Many staff at the University contributed to the ERA submissions, including the associate deans of research, faculty research officers and field of research coordinators, the Research portfolio, and a dedicated ERA team.
The ERA team compriseds two ERA Stewards (Peer Review and Citation); members of the Research Portfolio Research Reporting, Analysis, Data and Systems and Research Development teams; and the Chair of the Faculty Research Managers Network.
How ERA data is used
ERA provides us with a benchmark of our research against a world standard, and informs research funding from the government.
The data from ERA is used to produce the Australian Research Council's ERA National Report.
ERA also allows us to determine our strengths and areas of opportunity and how our research performance compares with other Australian universities.
The government uses ERA data to inform the Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE) component of the block funding that universities receive to sustain excellence in research.
ERA and HERDC compared
ERA provides us with a benchmark of our research against a world standard, and informs a component of research funding from the government. There have been three rounds of ERA evaluations: 2010, 2012, and 2015.
Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) is an annual report of research publications and research income data, collected by the Department of Education. The Commonwealth Government uses HERDC data to determine the allocation of research block grants and other government funding to universities.
Where HERDC is based around the quantity of our outputs and income, ERA is focused on the quality of our research.

Comments about Da Vinci Paints Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics:
These fluid acrylics are great, they don't settle so I don't have to over shake the bottles causing bubbles. I use them straight out of the bottle and I enjoy the fluid consistency.

Great Mediums
By Lauren

Golden mediums are the best for the price you will pay - the color, texture and ease of application that is possible with these mediums is so much better than with any other mediums on the market.

Not Bad
By Magpie
from Larkspur, CO
I am a "Golden" girl, but bought some of the DaVinici fluids because the colors I needed were out of stock for a class I was teaching. The colors don't seem quite as vibrant as the Golden brand, but the consistency is nice & they blend well. I will probably continue to use them on occassion or while teaching mixed media projects.

Cheaper than Golden and just as good
By Carlos Printe
from Florida
I have always used Golden Fluid Acrylics and during a workshop with Nicholas Simmons he suggested I try Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics.I ordered a dozen or so bottles and ran tests comparing both and found that there are a few small differences. I posted the results on my blog.Da Vinci is actually a better product for the money, but Golden has more colors to choose from. So I recommend you give these a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
A nice, semi-sweet but also a bit surprising story of a young werewolf woman torn between love of a human and duty to her pack. Not quite your typical romance, I really enjoyed this coming of age story that had a decent (but not over-the-top) amount of angst, and an enjoyable ending (without being utterly predictable).
A surprisingly good YA werewolf novel. Vivian is a werewolf, like her parents and everyone she grew up with. After werewolves murder two people in their hometown, the pack must flee to another unsuspecting town. It's there that Vivian starts to struggle against the other werewolves in favor of a more human life. I was impressed with Vivian--she's beautiful and strong and knows it, but also socially awkward and unused to human ways. The mixture of disgust and desire that she feels toward the other werewolves also rings true, and is a good corrolary for her burgeoning sexuality.
This book was purchased for masa gift and is, to this day, the most battered book I own. I read it, then passed it to four different friends, most of whom devoured it. We were young and at the perfect age for delicious love triangles, and would discuss our opinions on Vivian's choice across the table in the library in the morning.
Even with the friendly morning book conversations, I couldn't be turned to completely love this book, simply because I didn't like Vivian, and I liked Aiden even less. I could emphasize with their struggles, but by the end I could not care less whether Vivan liked chocolate or if Aiden could accept her - I found her whiny and him cowardly and selfish. And that was why I did not enjoy this book.
And yet, I did not dislike it enough to get rid of it - so who knows? Maybe I'll revisit it sometime. Because I love the idea, even if I cannot stand the characters.
As a side note - the film version has very little to do with the book other than the title dilemma, and I like it so much better.
This was painful to read. Vivian is not a "strong female lead character" like I've read in other reviews. She's an over-sexualized character who is forced to use violence in her wolf form. Really, this story is about her quest for a mate. All of the guys are sex-obsessed meat-heads and they are have their sites set on Vivian. I like YA fiction, I even like werewolves, but this book is ridiculous.
I've bypassed this book quite a few times and it's been overlooked because of one thing....I didn't realise it was about werewolves. Had I known that, I'd have snapped it up long before now. How I missed this one I'll never know.
I was drawn into this within a few pages and the story just grabbed me. It's a story about teen angst and love and decisions and betrayal and loyalty and just generally growing up and coming of age.... but with werewolves. I very easily got caught up with the story of Vivian, who has as many problems, if not more, then your average teen.
This book may be geared towards a young adult audience, but it can definitely be enjoyed by those of us who are young at heart and can still remember their youth. Klause pulls off a sensual story about the supernatural without making it seem cheesy. The characters are believable, the shape shifter culture is well rounded and Vivian's world comes alive on the page.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440226686, Mass Market Paperback)Characterizing the adolescent experience as monstrous is not exactly a new idea. M.T. Anderson's woefully confused teen vampire in Thirsty and Jean Thesman's reluctant young witch in The Other Ones serve as excellent examples of this metaphor set to fiction. But no one really captures how our hormones make us howl as well as Annette Curtis Klause. Blood and Chocolate chronicles the longings and passions of one Vivian Gandillon, teenage werewolf. Her pack family, recently burned out of their West Virginia home by suspicious neighbors, has resettled in a sleepy Maryland suburb. At her new school, Viv quickly falls for sensitive heartthrob Aiden, a human--or "meat-boy," as her pack calls him. Soon she is trying to tame her undomesticated desires to match his more civilized sensibilities. "He was gentle. She hadn't expected that. Kisses to her were a tight clutch, teeth, and tongue... His eyes were shy beneath his dark lashes, and his lips curved with delight and desire--desire he wouldn't force on her... he was different." But Vivian's animal ardor cannot be stilled, and she must decide if she should keep Aiden in the dark about her true nature or invite him to take a walk on her wild side.
Klause poetically describes the violence and sensuality of the pack lifestyle, creating a hot-blooded heroine who puts the most outrageous riot grrrls to shame. Blood and Chocolate is a masterpiece of adolescent angst wrapped in wolf's clothing, and its lovely, sensuous taste is sure to be sweet on the teenage tongue. (Ages 13 and older) --Jennifer Hubert
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:17:32 -0400)
Having fallen for a human boy, a beautiful teenage werewolf must battle both her packmates and the fear of the townspeople to decide where she belongs and with whom.
