Do any of the major bike companies make road bikes with 36H wheels?
I am still a little over 300# but want to start doing more riding and want to start researching and planning on my next bike.
I have not had any luck finding any that come with 36H wheels, not sure if you can upgrade when you order or not.
I prefer to learn as much on here before I go to the LBS because so many times you will be told anything to get you to buy if your not careful. Our LBS that had a great reputation has closed so will be finding a new shop and want to know as much as possible before walking in.
The major bike dealers around here are Trek and Specialized.

Story and Pictures submitted by Cory Furlough,
The Creswell Tigers and Southside Seahawks would battle down to the wire Friday night in a nail biter that would not be decided untill the final :17 seconds of the game. For the second week in a row the Tigers would take on a much larger opponent from Beaufort County and come away with a 28-22 victory.
The Seahawks would jump out early on the Tigers putting the home team in the hole 8-0. The Tiger fans would rally behind the home team though and with 2:40 left in the 1st quarter Timelle Sawyer would scamper 12 yards around the right side of the line for his first score of the night. The two point conversion would fail and the Tigers would trail 8-6 where the score would remain until the second quarter. Early in the second the Seahawks would put their option offense to work and scamper into the end zone to put the pressure back on the Tigers. With the Tigers trailing 14-6 Creswell quarterback Dovonte Phelps would connect with wide out Gary Blount on a 19 yard pass to the left corner of the end zone to bring the Tigers within two points of the visitors. The two point conversion would be good for the Tigers and the score would come to all square at 14-14 heading into the half.
Heading into the second half the fans would rise on their feet and both sides would return pumped up and ready for action. The Seahawks would take the opening kickoff of the half and begin deep in their own territory. On the second play of the 3rd quarter the Seahawks would fumble the ball directly into the hands of a waiting Tiger defender and Creswell defensive end Shaton Basnight would scamper into the end zone to put the home team back on top 22-14. After giving up two large running plays to the Seahawks the Tigers would force a Seahawk running back to fumble and take over on their own 48 yard line. Six plays later Justin Blount would scamper 23 yards reversing the field to put the Tigers well in command 28-14. But the Seahawks would not hang their heads and capitalize on a errant Tiger pass when the receiver Blount fell down in the wet grass. The Seahawk defensive back would return the interception 99 yards to bring the visitors back to within 6, 28-22. With 2:45 seconds left in the 4th the Tigers would roar down the field but be stopped on the 1yd line by the Seahawks. 8 plays later the visitors would be across the 50 yard line in Tigers territory and have 45 seconds to score. The Tiger defense would bear down and put the Seahwaks in a 3rd and long situation. With 17 seconds left the Tigers defensive back Justin Phelps would intercept the Seahawk pass and seal the win for the home team bringing the Tigers record to 2-0 on the young season.
The Tigers would rely on their mighty rushing attack once again to seal the win and rack up and impressive 266 yards on the ground of their 337 yards of total offense. The Tigers would be lead offensively by All-Area performer running back Timelle Sawyer. Sawyer would rack up 161 yards on 23 carries and add 1 score. The Tiger receiving corps would be led once more by speedy wide out Gary Blount who would haul in 3 catches for 71 yards and a score. Defensively the Tigers would be led by Sophomore Shaton Basnight who would have a spectacular night racking up 9 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries, 2 quarterback sacks and a touch down. Xavier Owens would add 9 tackles and 2 sacks on the night for the Tigers and linebacker Andrew McNair would add 7 solo tackles and 2 sacks. The Tigers will look to continue their winning ways in two weeks as they take on the Mattamuskeet Lakers on the road.

1 dead, 3 hurt in blast south of downtown LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A gas tank exploded in an industrial area south of downtown Los Angeles Wednesday, killing one person and injuring three others, authorities said. Investigators were trying to determine what was going on at the site.
The gas cylinder exploded in a building tucked behind a meat market and a bakery at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Mario Rueda, deputy captain of the LA fire department.
One person died after being taken from the scene, said Police Capt. William Hayes. The three others were taken to hospitals, one of them in critical condition and two in fair condition.
Rueda said he could not say what kind of business it was or what type of gas was in the tank, and said both pieces of information were the subject of their joint investigation with police.
There were initial indications of a blast at the meat market, but officials later explained it occurred nearby.
Bermis Meat Market manager Ayman Eldik says moments after the loud blast, two women pounded on the backdoor of his business, located off a shared alleyway with the other business, which doesn't have a storefront or signage.
"They were covered in blood," said Eldik, gesturing up and down his torso.
One woman had severe foot injuries and Eldik said he grabbed bags of ice to help her and had a coworker call 911.
Eldik described the business as "cars, body parts, something" with a shrug, saying he didn't pry and wasn't sure.
A large delivery of the cylinders had arrived at the business around noon Wednesday, blocking part of his driveway, Eldik said.
The blast was in a largely vacant industrial zone about a mile northeast of the University of Southern California campus.

The Weapons Trade
Embraer: Is the Brazilian Military Industry Becoming a Global Arms Merchant?
|Alex Sanchez
|September 14th 2009
Brazil has become a high-tech and growing civil-military power in the same league as Russia, India and China (the BRIC countries). When it comes to Brazil and military technology, one name comes to mind: Embraer (Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica, S. A.). The Brazilian company specializes in civilian and military aircraft, and is regarded as one of the top three aircraft companies in the world, next to Boeing and Airbus. Today Embraer's military products make it an increasing factor in the arms manufacturing and supplying field, along with several other transnational arms companies currently competing to be major international weapons suppliers.
How Embraer became the flagship of the Brazilian arms industry
Embraer's history can be traced back to the Brazilian military junta that ruled the country from 1964-1985. When Embraer was founded in 1969, the junta was led by General Emilio Medici, who wanted the country to have its own self-contained aircraft manufacturing company, with the state controlling 51 percent of the shares.
While Embraer is commonly mentioned today as Brazil's major military industrial complex, it should be recalled that it also was one of only three such companies in Brazil during military rule and afterwards. As its name suggests, Embraer focused on aircraft, with the Tucano becoming its flagship military product. The other prominent Brazilian military industries were Avibrás Indústria Aeroespacial S.A. (Avibrás), which was established in 1961, and Engenheiros Especializados S.A. (Engesa), which began its operations in 1963. Globalsecurity.org explains that "…by 1980 Brazil had become a net exporter of arms. On the demand side, the rapid success resulted from a growing need in the developing world for armaments.†Specifically, this meant those that met specialized performance and cost qualifications. The report continues, "On the supply side, Brazil's arms exports were designed for developing world markets and were noted for their high quality, easy maintenance, good performance adverse conditions, and low cost.â€
In the course of the Iraq-Iran War in the late 1980s, Iraq would become a major client of the Brazilian military industry. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that 40% of all Brazilian arms transfers from 1985 to 1989 went to Iraq. The armaments included over 800 armored fighting vehicles (EE-3/-9/-11) and over 60 ASTROS rocket launchers. In 1989, Brazil chose to sell Tucanos, Embraer's relatively low cost and basic military aircraft, to Iran showing that business and financial factors trumped any particular ideological preference for Iraq.
In contrast to Embraer's strong sales to both sides in the Iran-Iraq War, its competitor, Engesa, did not encounter such success. In the late 1980s the company showcased its newest battle tank, the EE-TI Osorio but due to changing political tides was unable to land customers for the product. Despite Saudi Arabia's initial interest in the Osorio, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait prompted the Saudi Royal family, in near panic, to turn to the U.S. as its main military supplier. Left without its prime customer, Engesa was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1993. In order to shield its domestic military industry, the Brazilian government privatized Embraer under Plan Collor, as part of president Fernando Collor de Mallo's strategy to privatize state-run companies to save them from bankruptcy.
Today Embraer stands as the undisputed leader of the Brazilian military and civilian aircraft industry. In an interview with COHA, Dr. Thomaz Costa, Professor of National Security Affairs at the Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies at the National Defense University, explains that "[Embraer's] business philosophy seems to reflect a market position defined by producing platforms with technology, electronic components, and had a large array of private stock of parts available in its on-site global market. Its products directed to civilian markets are based in cost-effectiveness of product life cycle.†Dr. Costa argues that "Embraer has been successful in identifying market niches before the market fully develop demands (i.e., the Bandeirante and the ERJ aircraft for commuter services, the Tucano for military training, and the new series 90-120 seat passenger airlines).â€
For Embraer, 2004 was a "golden year,†as it delivered 148 civilian and military aircrafts. A 2005 Military Technology article indicated that at the time Embraer had invested around $45 million on its Gaviao Peixoto floor workers. However, in recent years the company has suffered from the ongoing global financial crisis and continues to receive more bad news. In February 2009, Embraer announced its plan to cut as much as 20 percent of its active worldwide workforce of 21,362, including both management and production. According to an Agence France Presse article, Embraer's shares slid nearly two percent to $14.50 on the New York Stock Exchange immediately following the announcement. Furthermore, another bad blow occurred when the Chinese-owned Hainan Airlines Co. announced in May that it would reduce its order of ER145 passenger jets from the original 50 to 25 (12 planes already had been delivered). Embraer announced that "over 90 percent of its revenues are generated abroad,†leaving it particularly vulnerable to the global economic recession.
The Civilian Division
Embraer's civilian wing is also a critical part of its industry. As NDU's Dr. Costa explains, "…the military portion of Embraer is pretty small compared to the civilian component. It is very similar to Boeing, where one division produces the F-18, but the bulk of the revenues and commanding business model is civilian.†An example of Embraer's record-making financial gains occurred in 2008 when the company reported it had gained $175 million in the third-quarter of that year.
Like the military division, civilian products are largely export-based and similarly susceptible to the international economic environment. Prior to the devastating hit generated by the financial crisis, Embraer had made deliveries to U.S. carrier Northwest Airlines in 2007, and in 2008 there were talks to sell the company's E-190 passenger jet to JetBlue. Also in 2008, the company sold 6 type-170 jets to EgyptAir Holding Co. for $189 million. According to a January 2009 report in the Associated Press Financial Wire, Embraer delivered 204 planes in 2008, a 21 percent increase over the 169 jets delivered in 2007. Given their previous reliance on sales of midsize and executive jets, it is not surprising that the company has taken a particularly strong hit from the current economic crisis as demand for these aircraft falls.
What military aircrafts is Embraer producing these days?
In spite of its current troubled financial situation, the nascent Brazilian military industry is producing a number of potentially successful products (its civilian aircraft line aside). While it is no longer turning out the Tucano, the company has upgraded to the Super Tucano. Today, Embraer's top military products include:
• The ALX Super Tucano which can be used as a training aircraft as well as for patrol and light attack missions. In 2008, Embraer presented an upgraded version which consisted of TOSS (Training and Operation Support System) computer systems with improved capabilities like a Mission Planning Station for navigation and planning attack missions.
• The AMX light attack aircraft and its AMX-T two-seat, combat-capable trainer version.
• The P99 MP/ASW aircraft and the EMB military versions which can be used for remote sensing and maritime patrol.
• The KC-390 medium transport/tanker aircraft, which was announced in April 2009 at the Latin American Aero and Defense show in Rio de Janeiro. The plane was designed to compete with the now aging U.S. workhorse, the C-130.
Russia announced in April 2009 that Embraer might join the Russian-Indian joint venture of producing the fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) version of the famous Sukhoi fighter. Currently, the aircraft is being developed by Russia's United Aircraft Corporation and India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, following a 2007 agreement. "We are discussing with the well-known Brazilian company Embraer the transfer of technology and the construction of facilities for the future licensed production of aircraft, including FGFA,†said deputy director of Moscow's Federal Service on Military-Technical Cooperation, Alexander Fomin.
In an interview with COHA, Iñigo Guevara, a specialist in Latin American defense industries and a CONACYT fellow at Georgetown University's Security Studies Program, explained: "[T]he current FX2 program, which will lead to the selection of the Rafale, JAS-39 Gripen or F/A-18E Super Hornet to become Brazil's next generation fighter, will see a fair amount of technology transferred to Embraer, which will enable it to license, produce and eventually develop a fifth generation fighter.†He goes on to explain that the new generation of fighters would be of considerable interest to the contemporary global market, and would nicely position Brazil alongside the U.S., Russia, China, France, and Sweden as making up an elite group independently developing and producing jet fighters.
Non-Embraer initiatives
It is important to highlight that Embraer is not the only Brazilian military plant currently creating production lines. Other examples of promising military-related companies include:
• AVIBRAS, which produces the ASTROS self propelled MLR batteries.
• AGRALE, which produces the Marrua jeep.
• The Brazilian Army, in cooperation with IVECO, produces the VBPT-MR (Urutu-3) armored personnel carrier.
Projects for the production of heavy battle tanks, like the attempts to promote the Osorio in the 1980s and 1990s, are notably absent. According to Guevara Brazil is not pushing for an in-country fabricated battle tank, such as the Osorio or Tamoio, "because Brazilian planners do not envisage a large enough need for a tank in Brazil's list of defense requirements in its current or future export market.†This explains why Brazil has recently purchased 250 German Leopard 1 battle tanks. Purchasing already established tank models becomes more effective and offers less logistical problems than designing and building a Brazilian model from the ground up.
Embraer's Domestic Deals
Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim declared in April 2009 that Embraer will develop a new fleet of military transport aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force. Brazil currently uses the aging American C-130 Hercules, which soon will be replaced by Embraer's KC-390. The plane is capable of transporting Brazil's 20-ton Urutu III armored personnel carriers. Embraer's hope is that this will be the first of a new batch of contracts for their new military aircraft division that would reverse their losses and lay-offs from recent months. Embraer also announced in April that it had signed a contract to modernize 12 Brazilian navy jets, including 9 AF-1s and 3 AF-1As. According to a report by Defense Daily, "[t]his upgrading is designed to fully restore the operating capacity of the navy's 1st Intercept and Attack Plane Squadron.†Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer's president and CEO, has declared that "by choosing Embraer, the navy is making an important contribution to consolidating the technological and industrial capacity of [Brazil's defense industry] for modernizing military aircrafts.â€
Brazilian Arms Merchant to Whom?
Embraer will have to compete with other military industrial companies if it wishes to establish itself as a leading global arms merchant of military aircraft. Such companies in countries like the U.S., Russia, and China have increasingly consolidated themselves as suppliers of weaponry for a number of Latin American and other developing countries. Europe, both as a collective unit and as individual states, has also attempted to gain footholds in the Latin American market, with mixed results. Guevara argues that Embraer has established a name for itself as it provides "western technology at an affordable price.†Dr. Sean Burges, an expert on Brazilian affairs at the University of Ottawa and a COHA Senior Reasearch Fellow, explains that "Super Tucanos are not up to taking on a Mig or F-18, but they're pretty damn effective against a Cessna aircraft, a truck, or even a tank. [This makes the Brazilian warplanes good for] low-level border war and anti-narcotics aircraft work.†Besides affordability, a major reason for developing countries' demand for Embraer models is the company's production of aircraft which are suitable for specialized missions and immediate threat responses, which do not require the high-performance attack aircraft like those produced by the U.S. and Russia.
In 2005, Embraer and Colombia signed an agreement to supply the Colombian Air Force with twenty-five Super Tucano turboprops, all of which have now been delivered. In July 2008, India signed an agreement to purchase three EMB 145 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) planes. The first delivery is scheduled for 2011.
In August 2008, Chile signed an agreement to buy twelve Super Tucanos, with the Brazilian media estimating the deal at $120 million. "We are very proud to announce that the Super Tucano is the aircraft chosen by the Chilean Air Force, which is internationally recognized for the high professional capacity of its personnel,†said Luiz Carlos Aguiar, Embraer's Executive Vice President of Defense and Government Market.
More recently, in January 2009, the Thai military purchased one ERJ 135 for civilian and military transport. The Royal Thai Army and Navy ordered two similar aircrafts in 2008 as well. That same month the Dominican Republic purchased eight Super Tucanos for border patrol and anti-drug operations. In March 2009, Ecuador bought twenty-four Super Tucanos for training and border patrol missions.
Perhaps due to the growing commercialization of Embraer's production line, Jane's Defense Weekly reported in March 2009 that Colombia expressed interest in co-developing Embraer's C-390 medium-heavy transport aircraft. In 2008 there were also reports that Bolivia was interested in acquiring Super Tucanos to replace its venerable but aging T-33 trainer/light attack aircrafts scheduled to be retired in 2010.
Working with government institutions, Embraer and Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Econômico (BNDE), Brazil's state-run export financing institution, supplied Guatemala with a $99 million loan to purchase an anti-drug trafficking system. The catch is that Guatemala will appropriate the funds advanced by the Brazilian government to purchase a radar system and six Super Tucanos. The deal was announced in June 2009 when Brazilian President Lula da Silva visited Guatemala.
For CONACYT fellow Guevara, "Embraer has focused on emerging markets such as Latin America, as well as North Africa and the Middle East, which are its natural clients; it also managed to penetrate NATO markets, such as France, Greece and the UK.†France may be an obvious development, given its great interest in becoming a close ally of Brazil in recent years. On the other hand, for Dr. Costa, "...the decision to buy Embraer products seems to show clear attention to cost components and less of political alignment.â€
What remains to be seen is how the U.S. will respond to Embraer as a direct competitor with American military suppliers. In 2008, EP Aviation, a subsidiary of Blackwater Worldwide/XE, the world's largest private security contractor, purchased a Super Tucano. The aircraft, which was sold to EP Aviation, did not include the two .50mm-caliber machine guns that are normally wing-mounted. In 2008, there was talk of preliminary negotiations with U.S. authorities regarding the purchase of eight Super Tucanos which would be sent to Iraq for training purposes.
One more reason why Brazil is a rising global power
According to Guevara, "Brazil has the region's most advanced and developed defense industries. Over the past two decades it has focused on developing efficient support equipment but now it is interested in developing heavier conventional capabilities. Submarines, armored personnel carriers and fighter jets are among its main requirements.†Meanwhile, COHA's Burges notes, "…if you have planes and the other doesn't, you have air superiority, it is all a question of relative capability.†Embraer rose in recent years as a very important military and civilian aircraft manufacturer of efficient and affordable products. Developing nations will most likely continue to see the Brazilian company as an increasingly important and diversified weapons' supplier for the immediate future. In the greater scheme of things, Embraer's success, current financial issues aside, is another propellant that will elevate Brazil to a higher level of importance, as it continues to evolve into an ever more influential regional player and growing world power.

Update on DelgermaaDelgermaa, 28, is a Korean translator and she has been working in a translation bureau since 2007. Her husband works as a butcher in the supermarket. They live with their kids in an old house which was built at the end of the socialist era in Mongolia. Since then, it has not had any major repairs or plasterwork inside. In the winter, her house becomes cold and experiences heat loss through some areas. The roof is made of lead and is bad and old, causing heat loss, emissions and water droplets. The walls and the door of her house have also been damaged and become very bad.
Because of this, Delgermaa is planning to replace them all. She will make the wall insulation using foam, sand and cement and install a new wooden door. Then she will replace the roof with a metal board one. Altogether, it will cost about 4,500,000 MNT in the construction materials markets in Mongolia. She totally believes her family can live comfortably and stay warm at home in winter after the repairs. She is requesting a loan to buy the building materials including the metal board roof, the wooden door and the wall insulation materials for her home repair.
Previous Loan DetailsMrs. Delgermaa, 27 studies Korean and has the translation business. She lives with her husband and her daughter in the slum district of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. Delgermaa usually makes the interpretation by USD 5-7 in an hour and sometimes her job line is cut during many days. ... More from Delgermaa's previous loan »

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.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

principal mandate of the police departments relative to the enforcement of the law. In addition to these roles and functions, this study will also expound on the various types of police agencies in local, state, and federal levels, and their role in policing (Dantzker, 1999).
First, the police play a pivotal role as far as maintenance and enforcement of the law is concerned. Under this aspect, they are charged with the duty of upholding and enforcing the law impartially. This entails services such as protecting property, human rights and dignity, and the life of the public. Other services include prevention of crimes and opportunities for commission of the same through cooperation with relevant authorities and agencies. For instance, in a case where the state or federal role is violated, the police are expected to move speedily by identifying and apprehending the offender, as well as extend requisite assistance in the prosecution of such cases in a court of law (Stevens, 2011).
Maintenance of order mandates the police force to ensure stability and harmony, thus preventing behaviors, which would otherwise trigger disturbance or commotion. Police departments also offer services like guiding the disoriented, offering in assistance when administering first aid, and providing education on matters pertaining to crime, drug, and substance abuse. This implies that the services of the police are not only criminal oriented, but they are also for the general service to the law-abiding citizens.
The police force is also charged with the duty of tracking down stolen property and maintenance of order on the roads plied by automobiles. The Police agencies can be analyzed like any other organization with several key components where each level such as local, state or federal handles well-defined functions (Stevens, 2011). In order to understand this aspect properly, it is essential to understand how the functions of police agency differ at the local, state, and federal level. At the local level, municipal police is the majority. However, it also comprises of the county sheriffs, county police, tribal and regional police. All these police wings are under the umbrella of the local government, which is also responsible for their remunerations and salaries. Because of the nature of their service, they usually have restricted types of equipment with limited privileges compared to the state police. The principal purpose is to enforce the laws of the jurisdiction, investigate local crimes, and handle all patrols. They include regional, county, municipal, tribal police force that gets authority from the governing body at the local level (Palmiotto & Unnithan, 2010).
Second in that category is the state agency. As the name suggests, state agency also known as the state troopers , solves issue relating to the state using the local levels within the state to counter the various concerns. In most cases, their duties revolve around statewide investigations, highway patrols, and enforcing other traffic laws. They usually work with the Bureau of criminal investigations in dealing with emergencies, training law enforcement official and social crime such sex offenders and illegal drug abuse and other investigations that go beyond the jurisdiction and resources of the local police (Dantzker, 1999).
On the other hand, the federal agency deals with not only statewide concerns, but also oversees the solving and tackling crimes that directly or by extension affect the entire state. This level requires high specialization, training, and knowledge on both the local and state laws as it covers the entire country. Some of the bodies in this category include the Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigations (F.B.I), the Border Patrol, and the United States Enforcement Administration (D.E.A) (Stevens, 2011).
The patrol unit is one of the most significant departments in police organization in mobilizing and managing resident s contribution regarding social control and prevention of crime. Consequently, there role is to receive and process sensitive information from volunteers that may pose a threat. They plan, coordinate, and execute appropriate counteractions. They majorly undertake precautionary patrols in a certain locality to protect the property of citizens and prevent any crime by conducting inspections and interviewing suspects. They are responsible to answer all emergency calls and act instantly on alarming issues. They also collect information and compile police reports including accident reports, offense, and arrests. Within their respective areas, they are responsible for enforcing traffic laws including directing and controlling accident scenes, parades and fires. They are expected to acquire any useful information or knowledge of all criminal laws thoroughly and refute any false claims posing unnecessary tension in their area of operation. All these require both the cooperation and volunteership of the residents. Therefore, it is the mandate of the patrol officer to be aware of every state of security (Palmiotto & Unnithan, 2010).
In conclusion, the roles and functions of the police force are diverse and indispensable for the internal security of any country. As already explained above, the various departments of the police are responsible for maintaining and enforcing the law. This is to mean that after the congress approves a given law, it is the duty of the police to ensure that the law is followed and respected to the latter. For instance, one of the laws passed and approved by the president illegalizes the use of hard drugs such as cocaine. It is at this point that the police needs to come in and apprehend any individual who participates in such an illegal trade. With the nature of the complexity and technicality of the job involved, it calls for proper coordination and clear distinction of roles as any conflict could compromise safety.

Not many see Lake Erie and think Southern California. Luckily, Toronto shop owner Teresa Wiwchar is as one of a kind as her sense of style.
The 1,100-square-foot cottage met all of her criteria: close to Toronto, near her mom's house, swimmable water and a cottagey feel ‒ beach cottage, that is. Think sun, sand and style ‒ way more Malibu than Muskoka.
Her inspiration came from a Vanity Fair spread she'd seen years ago of actor Dennis Hopper's Malibu home. The vibe was 1970s surfer/boho chic and Teresa couldn't wait to interpret the look in her own beach style cottage. It would be a departure from her Toronto home and the Hollywood-glam-meets-shabby-chic-meets-Parisian-flair of her Châtelet store. "In the city, I have greys, pale blues and greens – there isn't the same riot of colour I have in the cottage," she says. "I wanted the place to be fun and lively because it's a weekend home."
Beach house
The cottage is perched above Long Beach, a public beach on Lake Erie, cozily sandwiched among other similar traditional family cottages. But homeowner Teresa Wiwchar doesn't mind the accessible setting – she loves watching families set up for a day in the sun and seeing Jet Skis whiz by.

Oh wait... I did that once, only there was a big motor between my 2 wheels. Most of Saskatchewan had terrible side winds, even under some significant power, had to ride almost 45º to the north wind.
Never mind!

In the 60´and 70´s when the cyclesport grew rapidly here in Sweden, different kinds of bikes were built to meet different demands. In Sweden it was quite common to get something speedy for exercise, something that could duplicate as a commuter and utility bike (they were often seen on amateur runnings). I think thats the core of the hybrid conception. Thats why I´ll contribute my Monark "semi-roadbike" from early 70´s! (Its a bit small for me, but I cant flip such a nice bike...)

Personally, I find any bike that has tire widths between skinny road and fat MTB and gearing in the middle to be a hybrid.

It's funny that the madone 2.3 and the fx 7.7 are nearly (i know there are differences) identical....
so i see no reason why the 7.9 wouldnt be comparable to an all tct carbon madone....
i think it's funny how they also classify fitness bikes from other bikes... arent all bikes for fitness? LOL. the difference between the fx and madones is the frame geometry and handle bars... those are the biggest differences..... but both still killer rides.

LMAO @ Riverside.
That handlebar with the V-fork was popular on mountain-bikes in the early 1980's. Then they vanished. They were heavy and sometimes poorly manufactured. Not always, though. Whatever - that's a very nice looking machine!
How do you keep an idiot in suspense?
They're called "bull moose" handlebars and they were indeed heavy. Most early mountain bikes had them -- I had one of the original Norco Bigfoot's and it had them.
Bull Moose, eh? Cool. I had those on my $200 Nashbar mtn. bike. The bike was canary-yellow. And they painted the handlebars, too! Ick!
How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

The detractors that think hybrids don't deserve nice parts should be showing up here shortly.
P.S. People use Zipp 404's as cyclocross wheels no reason you can't do light off road riding with them.

Hey shook, I'm curious why you went for the 7.7 and didn't go for the 7.9. Was it 99% the money differential?
1991 Trek 750 Multitrack Hybrid
Riverside -
if you look on page 3 of 'my new tre kfx 7.7' thread, i give a list of reasons why. the money was one reason but not one of the top reasons. trek has a limited warranty on their carbon frames (read: limited coverage) and that made me hesitate... why would i spend more $ on a bike that has less warranty coverage than the model right below?
i was set on the 7.9 until i really looked into the details. i was getting such an awesome deal on the 7.9 ($500+ off of msrp) and that was one of my driving reaosns for wanting it but, after all was said and done, the 7.7 made for a better value from a variety of angles.
2011 Trek FX 7.3 (White) -- Wife's ride ....... 2015 Trek FX 7.4 (Gray) -- My new ride ....... Lotus Classique - My Sunday ride
Don't blame you, definitely much better value.
Must say the 7.9 is a fantasy for me... something I'd probably only do if I won MegaMillions. BUT, purely as an exercise, I like "considering" it.
What specific in the warranty bothered you? Was it length or damage covered for metal frames that wasn't for carbon? Other than that, are there other issues with carbon over their current aluminum? Things like prone to break where metal might bend?
Ha, I have a little weather bug in the corner of my screen, wind is running 18 in CP, imagine what it's like on the Greenway?
1991 Trek 750 Multitrack Hybrid
I'm not saying this to criticize your purchase you did really well and bought the bike that made most sense to you I'm just getting increasingly frustrated by the misinformation on this forum regarding carbon framed hybrid bikes.
The number one reason carbon frames fail are people forgetting they are attached to the roof of their car and they drive into their garage. Crunch! Number 2 are serious crashes. Crashing a bicycle regardless of the material is not a warranty issue. If you crash hard enough to break your carbon bike I think you have other issues more important to deal with.
It's none of my business what other people think of me.
trek had a 5-year replacement stipulation on their carbon frames. so if i did wreck within the 5 year period, i'd get a 'discount' on buying a new frame to replace the damaged one. what if i wreked the bike in the 6th year? then im on my own buying a carbon frame at full price.
i know carbon is really strong - im not questioning it's fragility. but i felt a little uneasy spending more money and getting a "limited" warranty (limited on replacement frames, that is).
in the end i saved money and got a bike that's just as kick ass as the 7.9. maybe in 20 years, when i run my 7.7 into the ground, i'll consider getting the 7.9 again
i say we get some really rich people to buy a few 7.7's and 7.9's and throw them off 400-foot cliffs to see which frames are stronger... LOLOLOLOL
2011 Trek FX 7.3 (White) -- Wife's ride ....... 2015 Trek FX 7.4 (Gray) -- My new ride ....... Lotus Classique - My Sunday ride
the other thing -----
this was another big reason i didnt go for the 7.9 -- it's too "plain" looking......
the 2009 7.9 here in the US is sooo different than the 2009 7.9 in australia for instance. look at both models and you will see what i mean. i didnt like that the 7.9 looks essentially the same year after year so i wanted something a little different. now, however, the 2010 US and australian 7.9s look the same.... uninspired, IMO....

STATE OF THE ART; Cellphones That Reach Alter Egos
By David Pogue
Published: September 11, 2003
ON Oct. 1, Cingular will begin selling a unique $40 cellphone cradle called the FastForward. What it does can be described by a single sentence: whenever you slip your cellphone into it, the FastForward automatically routes incoming cell calls to your home or office phone.
The implications of this simple idea, though, constitute a much broader topic. In fact, you could write a whole column on it.
For you, the consumer, this elegant device confers a number of benefits. First, you save all kinds of money, because the rerouted calls don't use up any of your monthly cellular minutes. Incoming calls behave exactly as though your callers dialed your home or office number directly.
Second, the FastForward means that your friends and family have to memorize only one phone number for you instead of two, three or four. When you're out and about, their calls to your cell number ring the cellphone; when you're at home or at work, calls to that same cell number ring your home or desk phone (known as your land line). Your callers never know the difference. This is a big deal for people who must always be reachable, like real estate agents, heart surgeons and expectant fathers.
You pick up a sound-quality benefit, too. For example, a Cingular representative admitted that Cingular coverage in his own home was, as he bravely put it, ''not swell.'' But now he doesn't care. Whenever he's at home (and therefore out of prime cell range), his FastForward gizmo shunts incoming calls away from his cellphone and onto the perfect clarity of his land line.
Finally, when you're upstairs, you no longer have to run all the way downstairs just to answer your cellphone. All right, having to run to find a ringing cellphone may not rank right up there as the most sympathy-worthy complaint of the new millennium. (Heck, it's the only exercise some people get.) But the point is that the FastForward makes every phone extension in your home ring simultaneously. If you're upstairs, you answer the call upstairs.
This gadget is no low-tech A-B box. It doesn't even connect to a phone jack (only to a power outlet, because it also recharges your cellphone). When you insert your cellphone, it transmits a short text command to the cellular network itself that says, in effect, ''Begin diverting calls now.'' In other words, the call switching doesn't take place in your home. It happens much farther upstream, which is why incoming calls don't eat into your monthly minutes.
You can redirect your cellphone's calls to any local number, not just your home phone. In fact, you can create up to three different entries in your cellphone's phonebook -- labeled CF1, CF2, and CF3 (for call forwarding) -- that correspond to the land line numbers where you spend the most time. Then, a switch on the cradle lets you specify which number you want to ring: CF1 for your home, CF2 for your office, and CF3 for your secret apartment, for example. (You can change any of these numbers at any time.)
To turn off the call forwarding -- when you're leaving home, for example -- you're supposed to press a Cancel button on the cradle and wait four seconds. During this time, the cellphone sends a ''Cancel'' text message to the Cingular network. Incoming calls will once again ring your cellphone (and use up your minutes).
If you just yank the phone out of the cradle without pressing the Cancel button, though, you hear an alarm that seems to say, ''Hope you know what you're doing, Bub.'' You've just put yourself into a weird sort of cellular limbo: you can make outgoing calls on your cellphone, but all incoming calls still ring at home, no matter where your errands take you.
That situation may not always be as nonsensical as it sounds. For one thing, it leaves the cellphone ready to dial, yet relieves you of the burden of having to remember to shut it off before entering a meeting, movie or religious ceremony. For another, it saves you money when you're going to be out of touch anyway, because your home answering machine rather than your cellular voice mail can pick up the missed calls. (In any case, you can turn off the call forwarding at any time by dialing a code on the cellphone.)
Without a doubt, the remarkable FastForward is elegantly simple in function but deliciously flexible in potential. But there is, as you might suspect, some fine print.
First of all, the FastForward works only with Cingular cellphones. That's just tough rocks for the residents of Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Montana and anywhere else with iffy Cingular coverage. The FastForward cradle will happily recharge phones from other carriers but won't give you any of that call-forwarding magic. (You need a different cradle model for each phone brand, by the way. The Motorola cradle will be available on Oct.1; cradles for Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson phones will arrive in November.)
Second, the FastForward's call-redirecting feature is either free or costs $3 per month, depending on a couple of factors. It's free if your local phone company is one of Cingular's corporate parents -- SBC or BellSouth -- and you have elected to receive a single combined monthly bill for local and cell service. (And who on earth wouldn't want a single bill? ''People who don't like the sticker shock of seeing the grand total,'' ventures a Cingular spokesman.) BellSouth also requires that you have at least two calling features (call waiting, for example) on your land line.

Some of our interesting '007 women
Third and final part of my year-in-review.
Collene Campbell. In January, she watched a jury finally convict Michael Goodwin of murdering her brother Mickey Thompson and his wife, Trudy, almost two decades after the fact. In March, she watched Goodwin sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
I talked to Collene last week, just as she was getting ready to drive up to a cabin in Blue Jay with her husband, Gary. It's a holiday tradition they used to share with Mickey and Trudy.
"This is the first time in 25 years we haven't been working to get the killer of our son, or of Mickey and Trudy," she said, referring to the unrelated murder of her son, Scott, which first propelled her into victims' rights issues. "I think we will do better this year."
The former San Juan Capistrano mayor is working with Todd Spitzer on a state constitutional amendment that, among other things, would require law enforcement to notify the families of murder victims about upcoming trial dates and to allow them to sit in the trial in most circumstances. She wants to eliminate the common defense attorney practice of putting victims' families on witness lists for the sole purpose of keeping them out of the courtroom so that their presence won't prejudice jurors.
Goodwin, meanwhile, sits in state prison. He appealed his conviction immediately, but Campbell says she's been told not to expect it to be heard until at least 2009.
Our other convicteddouble murderer, Jennifer Henderson Deleon, 26, also rots in prison, for her role in the Tom and Jackie Hawks killings. Because her case is on appeal, she can't be compelled to testify against her husband, Skylar, even if she obtains a divorce by the time of his trial.
Skylar's trial is technically scheduled for Jan. 28, but prosecutor Matt Murphy tells me that because of a scheduling problem with his co-defendant's attorney, it likely will be postponed until February or March.
In February, Commie Girl, aka Rebecca Schoenkopf, gave me the scoop on her departure before she even told her own bosses at the OC Weekly. Her year-end update to me:
"My dad is living in my dining room following a few months in the hospital (one month nonresponsive in the ICU, one month moving his foot to communicate, and so on). Now he's climbing stairs. He's bad-ass. My uncle the attorney committed armed robbery of a pharmacy, after which he stabbed himself in the neck with a pencil in jail, and while in the hospital, barricaded the deputy outside his room, had a four-hour standoff, and then jumped off a fifth-story ledge. He's alive, and in prison.
"My mom retired and moved to Oklahoma. I may or may not have a long-distance boyfriend with Lyme disease. I mean, he definitely has Lyme disease. He may or may not be my boyfriend. Considering he lives in Iowa."
Just so you can appreciate how her voice is missed in O.C.
On the plus side, her buttercup of a son is well. She still writes for Long Beach's new indie, The District, which was started by Will Swaim and other ex-Weekly folk; the affordable housing site FourStory.org; MSN and elsewhere. She teaches at UCI.
Stephanie Edwards. In 2006, she was put in out in the pouring rain by KTLA to report on the Rose Parade. In 2007, she watched it on TV. As she will again on Tuesday, if she cares to.
I'd suggested making her and Bob Eubanks this New Year's grand marshals. Somebody even started an online petition that got 300 names. But who are we going to get? Emeril Lagasse. Better than Kermit the Frog (G.M. in 1996), but just barely. Most entertaining thing he could do is show us how to cook Kermit the Frog.
But if there's any justice in the world, former Tribune Co. chief Dennis Fitz Simons, the guy who turned a deaf ear on all your pleas to bring back Stephanie, has resigned because his company was bought. What this means is that there's a new guy you can pester, and he's just the kind of hands-on Midwesterner who might actually do something to correct one of his companies' grosser errors. His name is Sam Zell. His address is: Tribune Co., 435 North Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.
OK. I give up. "Jump the shark?" Means the moment in a TV series when it just loses whatever it had. From the "Happy Days" episode when Fonzie decides to jump a shark on his motorcycle. You know that Commie Girl knew that.

Imagine being in the inner sanctum of a women's dressingroom at a giant department store and suddenly being able to hear everyone's inner most thoughts as they look at themselves in the mirror. Every insecurity, frustration, self esteem issue under the sun is blurted out. That's a bit what scanning the #whattowear twitter feed is like. Despite the cringe factor, I like to read it because real style concerns do emerge from the mass fashion hysteria. It also reminds me so much of the days when woman after well-heeled woman would enter my booth at fashion trade shows and spill their own doubts about their body, age, and weight. It made a huge impact on me, and is why I named this blog, Trust Your Style.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Deli by the Bay: "Deli Food!!! Don't miss out!" Top 5 Page for this destination Deli by the Bay - CLOSED Tip by racheljapi
Deli by the Bay - CLOSED, Coronado: 1 reviews and 1 photos
With classic '50s decor and memorabilia lining the walls, the Deli By the Bay is going for that retro diner feel. The food is good and cheap. But the view, with a sweet vista of San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline, is the strongest selling point for this deli. Just a few steps away from the Coronado ferry landing, Deli By the Bay is a pleasant place to wait for the ferry to come in or grab a sandwich before renting a bike and exploring Coronado.
Favorite Dish: Because it's owned by an old friend of mine's family, I've tried almost everything. You can't go wrong with any choice. Personally, I love a traditional turkey sandwich but don't forget the avacado.
PS. Don't forget to look around at all the really cool things hanging on the walls!
Address: 1201 First St Suite K-5
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: In the Ferry landing by the pier
Phone: (619) 437-1006
Price: less than US$10

Hi everyone, hopefully someone can help me! 2 days ago I was watching a video on my laptop and all of a sudden wierd music started to play in the background (not just music but commercials too). I searched on the screen to find out if there was something else playing but couldnt find anything. I was confused so I shut down Windows and started up again and everything was fine.
The next day I went on the same site again and the same thing happened but this time I let it play as I was trying to figure out what the heck was the problem! The longer I did this, the more music/commercials played ALL AT ONCE!!! I then thought it may be some sort of virus so I closed the Explorer.
That is only HALF the problem!lol Now my mousepad doesnt work when I open the Administrator desktop! It will highlight something as if it is able to be opened but will not click on ANYTHING! When I go to the "Guest" desktop I have no problems, the mouse/the website works fine! This is crazy... does anyone have a suggestion on what this may be? I'm pretty sure it is a virus but I havent done anything to my brand new computer for this to happen.

Thunder report card: B team gets an A; Officiating gets a D
B team: A. The Thunder bench was exceptional, including the five-plus minutes in the second quarter when no starter was on the court. The Thunder reserves cut a 33-24 Nugget lead to 47-40. In the fourth quarter, Scotty Brooks declined to go with a straight B-team lineup; Kevin Durant played with Eric Maynor, Nazr Mohammed, Nick Collison and James Harden. That fivesome maintained the Thunder's four-point lead in 3 1/2 minutes.
Officiating: D. The foul calls were fine, both ways. But the refs missed the offensive goaltending on Kendrick Perkins' tip, which instead became the basket that gave the Thunder the lead for good, 102-101. Perkins had his hand in the cylinder and in the net. You can't miss that call.
Revelry: A. The blue-out — blue T-shirts for every patron — created a great scene. R&B singer Rob Clay provided a rousing national anthem. Mom and pop Durant even joined the "MVP" chant with 7.7 seconds left in the game. And just in case you didn't know this was a big game, NBA superfan James Goldstein, in his customary black leather, sat courtside.
First quarter defense: D. The Thunder played like its pre-Perkins days. Very soft inside. The Nuggets made their first seven shots and 15 of their first 21. Denver had 31 points in less than 10 minutes. That has to change.
Fourth quarter defense: A. The Nuggets scored just 21 points in the final period, making just seven of 17 shots. In the final 3:05, Denver had five straight empty possessions, until foul shots with 6.2 seconds left and the Thunder up five.
Serge Ibaka: C. Serge Ibaka's first playoff start did not go well. He had just three points (1-of-8 shooting) and five rebounds in almost 25 minutes. But Ibaka blocked four shots, all in the first half, which gave the Thunder energy when little else was working.
Pre-gamesmanship: B. While Brooks played it straight in pregame, Nugget coach George Karl was his usual comedic self. When asked if Danilo Gallinari could become a star, Karl noticed that Gallinari was walking past the media group. "Hey, Gollo, can you be a star in this series like Melo (Carmelo Anthony)?" Karl asked. Responded the Italian Gallinari, "I don't speak English." When Perkins walked past, Karl said, "There goes the guy who causes me so many problems. Hey, Perk, I love ya." Perkins just smiled. Or was it a sneer?
Ball security: B. The Thunder committed just four second-half turnovers (11 total), which Brooks termed "critical." But the latter could have been a killer; Russell Westbrook threw a pass straight to the Nuggets' Nene with 1:41 left and Denver leading 101-100.

"BARCELONA" Barcelona by parsix
Barcelona Travel Guide: 9,764 reviews and 22,676 photos
Wanted to come to Barcelona for a long time, but good friends kept pulling me to Madrid, and the trip was for ever delayed.
Barcelona is the capital of the Region of Catalonia, the city lies between the rivers of Llobregat and the Besos. Its the second largest city in Spain after Madrid.
I enjoyed being close to the mountains, and the sea as I used to back in Caracas. In fact, the arquitecture of the city resembles a lot of corners of Caracas. It's a city where pets are welcome, dogs are a must here.
It's a region that because of it's location close to the sea has been influence my cultures along the years. Barcelona has witness some of the greatess artist in different fields: Antonio Gaudi, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Bigas Luna, Pedro Almodovar.

Very stress free recipe.
Worcestershire is very over powering. I had to doctor up the broth before we could eat it. I would not recommend.
This was ok. However, for a stew I like a thicker, gravy type sauce. This was just another way to make a moist steak w/vegetables. I also added many more vegetables ie. onion, mushrooms, celery, and green pepper. Next time I will strain the juice & make a gravy to serve with the meal.

Feanor's Last Battle by Aquemenes1983Watch
©2013-2016 Aquemenes1983
This is my interpretation of the final moments of Feanor fighting agains Gothmog, captain of the Balrogs. Although, I´m thinking seriusly about redoing this piece in some time because I think Gothmog can be improved in some way I´m not ready to understand yet. Also if you think Feanor is too gaunt it was completely deliberated. I want to express the sensation I had, while reading the Silmarillion, of how Feanor gets more and more insanely obsessed and unestable as the story advances. Till the point of trying to reach Morgoth's lair almost on his own. So he payed the consequences.
Well, I hope you liked it and thanks for watching it.
