I posted this question on the Bike Mechanic Forum but it seems to have disappeared. My Fuji Absolute 3.0 fell off the back of my car. Two LBS say the front wheel is shot. I brought a replacement front wheel. I would like to learn to replace a rim. Web sites give me the opinion that any similar 700 rim will do. I feel there must be more to it than that.
Could anyone tell me what sizing is needed to get a rim for replacement? Also, where can one buy such a rim? Thanks rommer25.

(WJLA) - Soon after she went up to see the beautiful view, Carol Kendrick found herself stuck at the top of the Washington Monument.
She tweeted a picture of herself all smiles, even though she was stuck up there for two hours on Monday night due to a non-working elevator.
"There were 12 or 15 of us stuck up there that night, and we all kind of looked at each other, 'Okay, it's here -- do we get in it?'"
This is video from inside the problem plagued-elevator, taken during a preview event two days before the Monument reopened. Just hours earlier, D.C. firefighters were called because the elevator stopped working - and a source tells the ABC7 I-Team that Park Service employees were inside.
We exclusively obtained internal Park Police reports showing that this elevator has malfunctioned multiple times since it was repaired after the 2011 earthquake.The problems date back at least a year, and have continued since the monument opened to the public. The National Park Service brought in experts from California and Baltimore to fix the problem, which the agency says appears to be with the elevator controller receiving incorrect signals that the elevator door is open when it is actually closed.
The contractors who were working overnight remain on the scene Thursday, monitoring the elevator's operations.
Speaking to us via Skype from her Phoenix home, Kendrick hopes it is fixed before she takes another eight-grade tour group to the top next week:
"They need to try to get it right!"

In every Sioux village there was a lodge of suitable size for social gatherings or dances. An old type of Sioux dance lodge is shown in plate 76, A, the walls being of logs and the roof of branches covered with earth, a large smoke-hole being left in the center. Plate 76, B, shows a lodge on the Standing Rock Reservation in which the writer witnessed a dance in 1912. The following summer she learned that it had been torn down, as the Government was enforcing more vigorously the restrictions on dancing among the Indians. In this lodge, as in the older type, the construction was of logs, branches, and earth, but the shape was rectangular, the logs were plastered with earth, and the roof was almost flat with projecting stovepipes, indicating that the lodge was heated by stoves instead of an open fire.
Concerning Indian dances it was said that--
In dancing the Indiana imitate the actions of animals. In the grass dance the men imitate the motions of the eagle and graceful birds. In the buffalo dance they imitate the buffalo. The old-time dancing dress of the Indians imitated the animals, but there was always a charm or a headdress which indicated the personality of the wearer. The Indians imitate the cries of birds or animals when they dance. Some headdresses imitate the comb of a bird, and a man wearing such a headdress would imitate the actions of that bird. The actions of a dancer always correspond to his costume. This is a matter of choice and usually is not connected with a dream.
The grass dance (peźí waćípi) may be said to exist at the present time among all the tribes of the northern plains, even to the Kutenai. The name Omaha identifies it with the Omaha tribe, from which it was received by many other tribes, but in transmission it has lost its significance, having become simply a social dance. According to Miss Fletcher, the dance originally was connected with the Hethú shka society of the Omaha, a society whose object "was to stimulate an heroic spirit among the people and to keep alive the memory of historic and valorous acts."1
Miss Fletcher describes one of its meetings, stating that2--
No clothing except the breechcloth was worn by the members, and a long bunch of grass representing scalps the wearer had taken was fastened to the belt at the back. . . . When the dance became known to the Dakota tribes and the Winnebago, the significance of the bunch of long grass having been forgotten, they gave the

Quite smutty, especially at first, and most of said smut is pretty pointless. I thought the bit with "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus..." was really nice. Shopkeeper-san was probably my favorite character. It's no masterpiece, and the plot is relatively superficial, but if the smut doesn't bother you, it's a decent read (I did read through it in one sitting, after all). It seems like a somewhat arbitrary point to end, but maybe the author said everything they needed to, and that's okay.
good manga to read <3
thank you Solaris
Ah by the way, why the boss's employee (Yaguchi) was asking about dead people and cried after she heard boss's words? Don't tell me she's the spirit of the body Daikichi found on his job site? o.O
No, that was a guy. Just a few panels before they indicate the girl has some sort of illness. Putting two and two together it seems like the illness might be terminal and she was coming to grips with her mortality.

Considering how much of this was sex it had an amazing story. I'd have liked to have seen the point where she passes on or at the very least the reason she cut herself up. 5/5. Would buy.
Very good Slice of Life.
Many touching moments and all in all a good read.

A really great story. I think it could have been longer and there were a few plot threads left loose, but all in all, very heart warming.

It felt to me like a reaction of a woman who has been thinking real hard on how much weight she had in the world, and what would become of her after death (reason why some people turn to religion).
Good manga, also that was a great spin on the old generic ghost/romance stories where the ghost is trying desperately to pass on and "oopsy daisy"...she fell in love.

"Fightin' Texas Aggie page!" Top 5 Page for this destination College Station by marigirl
College Station Travel Guide: 74 reviews and 152 photos
First of all, everybody knows that Southerners are the best-looking crowd around. Let's just get that out of the way. This is an attractive campus, and I'm not talking landscaping. Let's be honest.
College Station exists because of Texas A&M University. Before it was a town, the train would pull in and the engineer would call "College" station so all the sleeping cadets would wake up and get off. Whoop! And a legend was born.
It's only partially a military school. And yes, we're best known for football, and for being the best.
Walking through the Texas A&M campus, running across scores of guys in uniform yelling, running, hollering, and otherwise carrying on is not uncommon.
Off campus, they still stick out because of their military haircuts.
I'm gonna have to say the last four years have been great. Cute town, ridiculously friendly people (HOWDY!), fabulous school, etc - check out the restaurant tips and stuff for pictures of people actually out having fun. All these pictures are of Texas A&M.
But there's so much more!
And yes, the train still runs through the middle of town. More specifically, it runs right outside my apartment. In the middle of the night. Fabulous. But I love it!
- Pros:College Town
- Cons:... College Town
- In a nutshell:....... College Town

Once upon a time, a small but vocal group of pediatricians began to agitate the halls of academic pediatrics about the need for recognition of something they called comprehensive care. While these assistant professors, and I count myself among them, were never terribly precise about their definition of this term, they did agree that it involved those areas of pediatrics that their more traditional academic colleagues did not view as important or scholarly or scientific. During the ensuing 20 or more years, I have watched the catch phrases change with the seasons: comprehensive care turned into primary care, pediatric clinics turned into ambulatory care, and public health turned into community pediatrics, or its more recent version, community-oriented primary care. Despite these changes in labels, the definitions of the scope of these general areas of pediatric medicine have remained vague. At best, one can say that all of these phrases describe

While most of the video game world's attention next week will be focused on the Los Angeles Convention Center and the glitz surrounding E3, a small group of industry professionals will meet to tackle environmental concerns.
On Monday the Greener Gaming Gathering, billed as a "video game sustainability luncheon" will take place in Burbank. The event is sponsored by AGI Polymatrix, which manufactures media packaging and is being held in association with game retailers trade group the Entertainment Merchants Association.
Speakers at the invitation-only event will include Wal-Mart's senior buyer for video game software, Darin Dickson. Cody Sisco from Business for Social Responsibility will make a presentation and an expert panel will discuss sustainability issues related to replication, packaging and transportation of video games.
GP: It's encouraging to see the video game industry thinking proactively on environmental issues.

A Story of Love and Reason in Which Love Triumphs.
MARRIED -- On Tuesday, May 11, Eleanor Gail to Charles Faraday. Nothing bearing the shape of a wedding announcement could have been less obtrusive than the foregoing hidden in a remote corner of the Plymdale Promulgator, clothed in the palest and smallest of type, and modestly wedged in between the big, black-lettered offer of the Promulgator to mail itself free of extra charge to subscribers leaving home for the summer months, and an equally somber-clad notice (doubtless astray as to place and application) that Hammersmith & Co. were carrying a large and varied assortment of marble and granite monuments!
Yet notwithstanding its sandwiched condition, that little marriage announcement seemed to Eleanor to parade the whole street.
Whichever way she turned her eyes, it glowered at her with scornful reproach.
She felt it to be an indelicate thrusting of herself upon the public notice; and at the sight she was plunged in regret at having made to the proprieties the concession of permitting it.
She hoped now that the period for making concessions was ended. She had endured long and patiently the trials that beset her path when she chose to diverge from the beaten walks of female Plymdaledom. Had stood stoically enough the questionable distinction of being relegated to a place amid that large and ill-assorted family of "cranks,"★ feeling the discomfit and attending opprobrium to be far outbalanced by the satisfying consciousness of roaming the heights of free thought, and tasting the sweets of a spiritual emancipation.
The closing act of Eleanor's young ladyhood, when she chose to be married without pre-announcement, without the paraphernalia of accessories so dear to a curious public -- had been in keeping with previous methods distinguishing her career. The disappointed public cheated of its entertainment, was forced to seek such compensation for the loss as was offered in reflections that while

No treatment has been shown to reliably reverse the cartilage damage caused by OA. Whereas there are drugs for RA that address the underlying process of the disease and aim to stop or slow its progress, there are as yet no similar disease-modifying drugs for OA. The main goals of OA treatment are to relieve pain in and improve the function of the joint. The best treatments for OA combine pain-relieving drugs with exercise and other nondrug treatments. In more severe cases, surgery may be needed.
Exercise. Exercise is one of the mainstays of OA treatment. Far from being harmful to the joints, proper exercise can improve joint mobility and strength and reduce pain and stiffness. There are three main types of exercise: strengthening, stretching, and aerobic.
Strengthening exercises are usually performed with weights or exercise bands and can strengthen muscles that support joints affected by OA. Strong muscles around a joint can help reduce pain in the joint and improve its mobility.
Stretching exercises move joints beyond their normal range of motion and can keep your joints limber, helping you more easily carry out daily tasks. Range-of-motion exercises are similar to stretching exercises except that they seek only to maintain range of motion, not increase it. Tai chi and yoga both incorporate elements of stretching and range-of-motion exercises and can be useful for people with OA.
Aerobic exercises, such as walking or low-impact aerobics, can get your heart pumping and can keep your lungs and circulatory system in shape. Aerobic exercise can also help bring about weight loss, which is one of the most effective ways to reduce OA symptoms. Losing even a small percentage of body weight can significantly reduce the stress on the knees and hips.
Orthotic devices. Orthotic devices, such as knee braces, shoe inserts, and orthotic shoes, can redistribute the load placed on joints (particularly the knee) and thereby reduce pain. Lateral wedge inserts have been found to be particularly helpful.
Assistive devices. Assistive devices, which include canes, crutches, and walkers, can also help people with OA take stress off of affected joints. However, to have an effect they must be used correctly. For example, a cane should be used in the hand opposite the affected leg.
Joint protection. People with OA should learn to carry out their daily tasks in a way that protects their joints. Getting up from a chair, carrying groceries, and cooking are just a few activities that can be done in a more joint-friendly way. Learning to pace activities throughout the day is another important strategy. An occupational therapist can teach you these and other joint-protection strategies.
Heat and cold. Many people with OA find that applying heat and cold to joints affected by OA can help relieve symptoms. Cold, usually in the form of ice packs, can relieve pain and inflammation. Heat, whether from hot packs, paraffin wax baths, or a hot bath, can soothe the joint and reduce pain. Neither cold nor heat should be used for longer than 30 minutes at a time. Some people find that alternating between the two is particularly helpful.
Education. Education about OA and its treatments is very important for symptom relief. Arthritis self-help or self-management courses can teach you self-management techniques, including appropriate exercises and proper use of medicines. Because OA can take a heavy emotional toll, people with OA may also benefit from mental health counseling and instruction in coping skills.
Drug treatment. Drugs are very helpful for relieving OA-related pain. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is recommended as the first choice for OA pain relief. It is inexpensive, has been shown to relieve mild to moderate joint pain, and is safe at recommended doses (although it can cause liver damage if taken in excessive amounts).
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB), diclofenac (Cataflam, Voltaren), and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) are more powerful pain-relievers than acetaminophen. However, they carry a risk of gastrointestinal (GI) problems such as bleeding ulcers, especially at high doses, and so are recommended only for severe pain or when acetaminophen does not control symptoms.
A class of NSAIDs called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors was introduced in the late 1990's. COX-2's were at first widely used in the treatment of OA because they had the same pain- and inflammationreducing effect of traditional NSAIDs but were designed to reduce the risk of GI bleeding problems. However, there later surfaced concerns about an increased risk of heart attack in people taking COX-2's, and as a result, two COX-2's — rofecoxib (Vioxx) and valdecoxib (Bextra) — were voluntarily pulled from the market by 2005. The only COX-2 now available is celecoxib (Celebrex).
Opioid drugs — also known as narcotic drugs — are powerful pain-relievers but are recommended in OA only if other drug treatments have not worked. Opioids have many side effects, and they also present a risk of addiction in some people. If opioids are used, guidelines recommend that weaker opioids such as codeine (usually with acetaminophen) or tramadol (Ultram) be tried first.
Topical medicines — that is, medicines applied directly onto the skin near the painful joint — may be used in treating the pain of OA. Since 2007, topical NSAIDs have been available in the United States. A possible advantage of topical NSAIDs is that they may present less of a risk of GI side effects than oral NSAIDs. Available topical NSAIDs are all formulations of diclofenac and include Voltaren gel, Pennsaid topical solution, and the Flector Patch.
Topical capsaicin is another option. Made from chili peppers, capsaicin produces a sensation of heat that irritates nerve endings and is thought to cause them to use up their pain transmitters, thus reducing the pain felt from OA.
Dietary supplements. Many dietary supplements are commonly used to treat OA. Glucosamine and chondroitin are the most popular. Both of these supplements can be found naturally in the body — glucosamine is a building block of cartilage, and chondroitin is present in cartilage. Some studies show that the combination of these two supplements brings about pain reduction and reduces cartilage loss, but other studies have not shown any impact at all. Many expert guidelines have no recommendation about glucosamine and chondroitin, although the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends that the combination not be prescribed.
Although many people try special diets in the hopes of improving their OA, there is no solid evidence that diet can affect OA symptoms. The main benefit of a nutritious diet is to help people lose weight if they are overweight, which can relieve pain in the weight-bearing joints.
Surgery. Surgery is a last option for OA and should be considered only in people who have chronic pain and limited movement despite the drug and nondrug treatments described above. There are several surgeries used for OA: arthroscopic debridement, osteotomy, joint replacement, and joint fusion.
In arthroscopic debridement, a surgeon inserts an arthroscope — a pencil-sized instrument that contains a light, a magnifying lens, and a camera — into the joint through a small incision. The arthroscope displays images from inside the joint on a television, allowing the surgeon to see inside the joint while he or she uses tiny instruments inserted through other small incisions to clean out bone and cartilage fragments that can cause pain and inflammation. (An arthroscope may also be used to diagnose or monitor OA.) In a similar procedure, called joint lavage, the surgeon uses a saline solution to "wash" debris from the joint.
The advantage of any type of arthroscopic surgery is that it uses small incisions, which heal more quickly. However, there are questions about the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement, with some studies finding it has no benefit over physical and drug therapy.
Osteotomy is a more invasive procedure, in which a surgeon removes part of the bones in a joint to shift weight off of a damaged part of the joint. Osteotomy is done on the knee or hip and is most commonly used on young people, who will usually need a joint replacement later in life.
In a joint replacement, a joint is removed and replaced by metal, plastic, or ceramic parts that are inserted into the remaining bone. The procedure for joint replacement depends on the joint that is being replaced, the condition of the joint, and the skill of the surgeon. Hip and knee replacements are now often done arthroscopically, but surgeries using open incisions are still common and sometimes necessary. Hip replacement is the most established and successful joint replacement, followed by knee replacement. Replacing joints in the shoulder, elbow, ankle, wrist, or hand is less common. Spinal joints cannot be replaced.
Hip resurfacing is an alternative to total hip replacement. Instead of removing the whole top of the thighbone, the surgeon shaves off only some of the bone and resurfaces it with a metal cap. The procedure preserves much of the bone, so that a full hip replacement can be done years later if needed. It may therefore be a good option for young and physically active people. However, questions have recently been raised about its safety and effectiveness in women of all ages and in men over 55, with studies showing that these people are more likely to need a full hip replacement soon after a hip resurfacing.
For the knee, there is also an alternative to a full joint replacement. If only one part of the knee is affected by OA, a surgeon may recommend a unicompartmental replacement, which replaces only the affected part of the knee and leaves open the possibility of doing a total knee replacement later.
Finally, if an affected joint cannot be replaced and has become extremely painful, a surgeon can perform a joint fusion, or arthrodesis. Fusing the bones fixes the joint in one position but significantly reduces pain. Joint fusion is most often done in the spine and in the small joints of the hands and feet.

Seattle schools Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson and School Board President Cheryl Chow are seeking permanent court protection after...
Seattle schools Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson and School Board President Cheryl Chow are seeking permanent court protection after saying they were threatened by Omari Tahir-Garrett, who went to prison for striking then-Mayor Paul Schell with a bullhorn in 2001.
Goodloe-Johnson and Chow allege that Tahir-Garrett has disrupted School Board meetings with threats, obscenities, racially charged remarks and, at one point, pushed a school administrator to the floor. Chow and Goodloe-Johnson say they fear for their safety.
At one meeting, Tahir-Garrett allegedly warned Chow, an Asian American, that the Wah Mee Massacre could happen again, a reference to the 1983 fatal shooting of 13 people at a Chinatown International District gambling club.
"I understood this to be a threat to my life, as well as to the lives of my fellow directors," Chow said in papers filed in King County Superior Court.

Tahir-Garrett could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
After the most recent outburst in December, Tahir-Garrett was charged with criminal trespassing and disrupting school activities and is due in court on those charges Tuesday.
In 2001, Tahir-Garrett, a longtime activist in the African-American community, was convicted of felony assault for hitting Schell in the face with a megaphone, breaking several bones, at a Central Area community event. Tahir-Garrett was sentenced to 21 months in prison.
Early last year, Tahir-Garrett was warned that he could be banned from School Board meetings.
Then in November, police were called because he refused to leave the speaker's podium and made racial comments about Chow and Goodloe-Johnson, an African American. He collapsed onto the floor and was dragged out by officers.
After that meeting, Tahir-Garrett was banned for a year from school-district headquarters, but he returned the following month, pushing his way into the meeting room, and, officials say, knocking down an administrator who attempted to block his path.
After being removed from the meeting, he pushed past several school-district security officers and burst back into the room yelling: "Get your hands off of me!"
Court papers say it took three police officers to subdue him. Since that meeting, school officials have hired police officers to monitor entrances during School Board meetings.
Racially charged comments by Tahir-Garrett captured on video at one meeting included telling Goodloe-Johnson: "We have two types of black females in our history. We have Harriet Tubmans and we have Aunt Jemimas … ."
When Chow attempted to cut him off, Tahir-Garrett told her to "go back where you came from" and he threatened a federal lawsuit.
Earlier this week, school officials published legal announcements in The Seattle Times summoning Tahir-Garrett to appear in Superior Court Tuesday, where they will ask a judge to sign permanent restraining orders against him.
Temporary restraining orders have been in place since shortly after the December incident.
Those orders bar him from coming within 500 feet of any Seattle Public School building, within 500 feet of Goodloe-Johnson or Chow, and within 1,000 yards of either woman's home or workplace.
Shannon McMinimee, a school-district attorney, said the newspaper notices were published because Tahir-Garrett "evaded" attempts by police to serve him with legal papers.

Alicia Witt Talks 'Law & Order: CI,' Playing The Stupidest Character Imaginable & More

Alicia Witt
is not just another pretty face. After being discovered by director
David Lynch
at the age of seven, she was featured in "
." Lynch went on to utilize her talent in the quirky TV show "
Twin Peaks
." She also played Zoey in the TV series "Cybill" and has been featured in other television and movie roles, most recently "
Law and Order: Criminal Intent
When did you begin acting? Did David Lynch discover you?
I made "Dune" when I was 7. His casting director had seen what I had done (I was on a variety show when I was four.) I didn't have any formal training, so I wasn't well known. She basically looked up my parents' number in the phone book and asked them if I could come to New York for an audition. I loved doing "Dune." I couldn't believe that people actually got to do that for a living. Of all the movies to have for your first! That was completely surreal.
Like Baron Vladimir Harkonnen flying around?
At that time it was the most expensive studio film ever made with a $75 million budget. With those special effects, wardrobe, and creatures such as the Sand Worm, it seemed to me the most ridiculous job a person could have and the most fun. I still feel that way.
You get such interesting roles. You were in "Twin Peaks," too.
That was because I had already known David. He had the part of Gertsten written for me as a way to help me in my career, so at the age of 14, I came to L.A.
Were you as confused working on it as we were watching it? It took us until the end to get it.
I think the brilliance of that show was that there was so much to understand, so it was open to many different interpretations.
Now you are in "In Law and Order: CI." Did it start out NBC like the others?
The way it works is that it is on USA this season, and NBC, where it had been last season, is going to air the new episodes in mid-season, because they are both owned by NBC Universal. The show is the same and USA went nuts promoting it because it was new to them. It probably got more attention, like the billboards all over New York, because of that.
Are you anything like your character, Nola Felacci?
(laughs) I love her! She's awesome! She also has a really good sense of humor and I love the rapport she has with Logan (
Chris Noth
). I like her honesty, and I like the fact that she is fully aware that she is offending people a lot of the time. That's her way of getting the truth out of them. She doesn't have time for chit chat. In terms of interrogation, her idea is that as long as she just tows the line of being appropriate, she can get the information out of people.
You were lucky to get a part like that. She is a great role model.
I agree. When I first heard that the part was available, I was really excited, but I also made sure that she wasn't just going to be a shadow at Logan's side. If she had been bland and by the books, that would have been really uninteresting. The format is such that each of the episodes is self-contained, so you don't have to watch the entire series to know what is going on. But at the same time, within that episode, there can only be a tiny bit of character development. She has a strong personality to begin with, so you get more of a feeling of who she is.
Has the show been effected by the writer's strike?
Oh, yeah. I've got the rest of the year off, and I don't know when I am going to be back at work. I have one episode remaining to shoot out of 6 and that will probably be at the beginning of next year. I am the temporary replacement for
Julianne Nicholson
, who is on maternity leave.
What's your favorite medium to work in?
I prefer film and theatre. I have not been interested in doing another series since "Cybill." You can get locked into one for years, and I prefer the unexpectability of not knowing what my next character is going to be.
We understand that you have a movie coming out next year with
Al Pacino
Yes I do. It's called "
88 Minutes
" and it's about a forensic psychiatrist who gets a threatening phone call saying that he only has 88 minutes left to live. I play his teaching assistant and a grad student. My character, Kim Cummings, is with him through almost the entire film because she thinks that his life is in danger as well. It's a fun movie, and there are plenty of "red herrings." It's exciting and fast-paced. From the moment that he gets the phone call, the whole thing pretty much takes place in real time.
They also have an interesting relationship where there is some connection there but also a big age difference. There's an attraction and he doesn't want to explore it, but she does.
Well, he's Al Pacino! So you get personal in "88 minutes?"
(laughs) I absolutely adore Al. As if it wasn't enough to spend 2 1/2 months working with the greatest film actor there is, he is also so warm, completely magnetic, and giving. Everything you hoped he would be when you meet him, he is so much more. It's a real pleasure to work with someone whose been a role model for so many years, but then to get to know him, I admire him now even more. There was actually a screen kiss but I understand it isn't in the final version.
When will it be out?
I think its release was moved to April instead of February. I'm not 100 percent sure. It was made as an independent film and Sony is distributing it.
What do you have upcoming?
I have a couple of things brewing. I'm writing a lot of music, and playing and singing in New York. I have a gig coming up at The Bitter End, and there are a couple of other venues. It's been so much fun doing this. It's been a lifelong dream of mine. I've been meeting some amazing musicians in the city. I just played for a fundraiser where I played three of my original songs. It was an absolute thrill.
We know that you were trained in classical piano. Have you given that up to act?
In a way. I've never stopped playing. When I was doing it as a day job, I was doing lounge music. I used to compete as a kid classically. I did really well at that but I realized that I didn't want to be a professional concert pianist. It's such a disciplined existence. You have to go to a music conservatory and practice eight hours a day and hope that you end up in a performance medium instead of teaching. It's really rough. You have to love it so much you have to spend most of your life practicing. And that's wasn't really what I wanted. So I guess I gave up that aspect of it, but I still play classical music.
I got to do that last year in a play that was written for me called "Pianoforte" in London. I played this character that was just magnificent. She was a stammering agoraphobic. It was probably the greatest character that I have ever gotten to bring life into because she could not be more different from me, but the idea of expressing herself through music is of course, very much like me. I played all classical music in the play. I was the piano and the girl who played my sister was named Forte.
I think doing that play reminded me how much music meant to me. I started writing more songs, which I have doing my whole life, but never really did anything with them. When I got to New York in August to work on "Law and Order," it was as if the Universe had just thrown music into my life with such obviousness that I had no choice but to respond to it. I have a piano in my apartment and have been writing tons of songs and singing and just having a great time with it.
Will you have an album coming out?
That's my goal. I'm finishing my demo next week. I'll have a MySpace page by the middle of next week, too. That's the first step and then I will take it from there.
Which do you prefer, drama or comedy?
I like them both. One thing that I have never gotten to do is a really silly comedy, like the Farrelly brothers or something along the lines of "
." I have this total goofball side of me that I've never gotten to explore. Everyone who knows me personally knows about it and that I would like to play the stupidest character imaginable. Maybe someday you will see me do that.
Everyone will know now.
(laughs) Thank you.

Child Poverty in Wales Exposed as UK's Worst; 'It Is a Scandal That So Many Children Grow Up in Poverty'
Byline: BRENDAN HUGHES
CHILDREN in Wales are more likely to live in severe poverty than in any other part of the UK, a charity reveals today.
The depth of the challenge facing politicians to raise children's living standards, which are below those enjoyed in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is exposed in a report released by Save The Children.
The charity found that one in seven children in Wales is being brought up in severe poverty, slightly above the English figure while Scotland and Ireland both had fewer than one in 11 children living below the breadline.
A spokesman for the Assembly Government said solving the problem was the administration's "top priority" but opposition politicians described the figures as shocking and called on ministers to "get a grip".
Save The Children also called on the Westminster Government to reconsider its welfare reforms arguing that even more children would be forced into severe poverty in the coming months without some urgent and concerted action.
Andrew Chalinder, the charity's head in Wales, described the level of child poverty as a scandal.
He said: "Children up and down the country are going to sleep at night in homes with no > heating, without eating a proper mealand without proper school uniforms to put on in the morning. "No child should be born without a chance. It is a scandal that so many children in Wales are growing up in severe poverty." The charity's definition of severe poverty is based on a single-parent family with one child and an income of less than pounds 7,000 or a couple with two children and an income of less than pounds 12,500. It is the first time it has provided a local authority breakdown of the figures which showed that more than half of the 22 local authorities in Wales have a severe child poverty rate of 15% or above.
The Welsh authority with the highest rate of severe child poverty is Blaenau Gwent, where the estimate is one-in-five children (20%). An Assembly Government spokesman said: "There is no higher priority for us than ensuring that children and young people whose lives are blighted by poverty have the same life chances and opportunities as their more affluent peers. "The current economic climate makes it even more important that we retain our commitment to tackling child poverty, by prioritising the needs of the poorest and protecting the most vulnerable. …

My son's and now my grandson's 25+ year old ride before the repaint. New seat, grips and training wheels on order. Going flat black.
12.5" tires are a tough install.

well since everybody is posting multispeed cruisers well here is mine. When I am not riding the green cruiser I am on my white cruiser lol
10 mph journey
There seems to be a little bit of latitude as to what a cruiser is based on the bikes posted here, so I'll add mine. It's a 1987'ish Ross Mt. Hood with roller cams front and rear (chainstay mounted). The original bars were replaced with some nice wide risers on a slingshot stem. Added a Brooks Flyer, some cruiser grips, and wide slicks. I don't know if it'll help my cause to mention that the stem quill is 21.1mm. Hope it passes muster.
Great looking ride likebike23. I would cruise that.
Here's my 'new' cruiser. Its based on a Nashbar Touring frame and fork, uses 700C wheels with 35mm tires (I could go bigger, but the 35's were on sale for $9/ea over labor day weekend). I was building this up as a heavy duty workout road bike, but a few things in life changed and I decided this is going to be my cruiser. With the bigger wheels and gears it can roll along pretty quickly (and yeah, I need a longer chain).

Might as well add this one, since I put my other former mountain bike on here: Late 80s Univega

If they're Japanese components, it's not a gruppo. It's a gurūpu.
Thanks Greg C and Lastplace29er for the kind words. Lots of cool cruisers here.
Just a personal observation, but these mountain bike conversions need nice wide cruiser bike handlebars to make them true lazy-day cruisers.
Are we having fun yet?
I found a 1983 Huffy Good Vibrations in the trash. Had never owned a cruiser (even though I live at the beach) but had a lot of fun bringing it back from the dead. Now I ride it as much as my "real" bike. photo(4).jpgphoto(5).jpg
Nice work elwoodwins77. Looks like a great bike for the beach.
thanks. I fixed up the wire saddlebags that were abandoned with it and put those back on. now it rides the beach in style and I have a place to mount the boombox
That's a really nice bike! A cruiser I wouldn't mind riding around. It's not that I don't like them, but I'm not sure I could pull them off
Frame: Ruff Cycles Tango S v1.0
Wheels: 26 x 4 inch (salvaged from a Mongoose Beast)
Forks: (salvaged from a Mongoose Beast)
Tires: Project 346 26 x 2.35 inch (stretched to fit 4 inch wide rim)
Drivetrain: Sram Automatix 2-speed coaster brake
Paint: Rustoleum rattle can satin blue
If you are referring to my bike, then thanks! I like the bike with flatbars. I often have a large wire basket attached to the rack for carrying things. It's a really great bike for bashing around the city. I just moved to a more northern city so winter will actually happen here and I may mount up some studded tires and make this my winter ice and slush bike.
3 of our cruisers out doing what they do. I love riding with my kids around our town.

If they're Japanese components, it's not a gruppo. It's a gurūpu.
Here is my Electra Cruiser 1. I ditched the bull horns in favor of a set of 5" risers, replaced the seat with a Serfas Hybrid model, got rid of the knobbies and put a 16 tooth rear sprocket on it so I wouldn't pedal out.
An updated version of my Electra Cruiser 1.
It's none of my business what other people think of me.
My first cruiser build, I'm sure there will be more.
Huffy frame with flat black Plasti-Dip
Springer Fork
32" Ape Hanger handlebars
Quilted Cruiser saddle
Flame Grips
Flat Pedals for easy riding in flip-flops or barefoot
Yes it is it is a tour easy clone made from the plans that company put out a few years ago. I would not be afraid to take it across the country or around the world but if I was taking it around the world I would have better componets put on it I just used parts off my old mtn bike to build it. I would like to put a 9 spd cassette on it instead of the 7 spd on it now. Right now I got a shimano 505 rear derailer and a shimano tourney front derailer Two sun friction shifters. and nashbar 26x1.50 on the rear and a kenda 20 x1.95 on the front.

The Frozen Coffee Cherry Experiment
The Frozen Coffee Cherry Experiment, originally uploaded by sweetmarias.
Because I have so much spare time and hardly any coffee samples are arriving at this time of year (LOL) I took on the crazy frozen coffee cherry experiment. These are 07-08 harvest coffee fruits that were picked ripe and frozen whole. I had tried cupping thisnonce before and nearly vomitted but the results from these 6 samples by Aida at Kilimanjaro were really nice. I was surprised mostly by the body. Tons of it. No doubt there has been some physical breakdown of the coffee that results in more solids iin the cupbut the flavors were good. Funky but good. - Tom
Agreed - there was definitely
Submitted by Thompson (not verified) on Mon, 2009-06-08 12:04.
Agreed - there was definitely some form of aging or deterioration of the coffee seed. No, it was not dried at all. Picked fresh and frozen!
Thom, Great idea--thx for
Submitted by LuvCoffee (not verified) on Sat, 2009-06-06 11:23.
Great idea--thx for sharing!
So would you say that freezing the coffee cherry, then processing/roasting it years later**, does NOT seem to preserve the bean flavor?
[**]assume that you dried the seeds or something like that? Do you think this step may have affected flavor?

David Moyes blasts Marouane Fellaini
EVERTON boss David Moyes last night blasted Marouane Fellaini and labelled his head-butt on Ryan Shawcross as 'UNACCEPTABLE'.
I've just told Marouane that it's not acceptable
Moyes, though, later confirmed there will be NO Everton appeal if the FA hit the big Belgian with a retrospective three-match ban for violent conduct.
The Toffees coach rapped: "We'll take the punishment if it's given. Some might say they didn't see it.
"But I've just told Marouane that it's not acceptable. I won't accept it as a manager.
"Fellaini is a really good player and that's the biggest disappointment if he gets banned as he's so important."
Stoke boss Tony Pulis claimed it was the THIRD time this season officials have failed to send off opposition players for reckless fouls.
He said: "We had David Luiz on Jon Walters, Ciaran Clark on Greg Whelan and now this.''

Skip to comments.IMF drawing up £517bn package to save Italy, Spain and the euro
Posted on 11/27/2011 8:23:04 PM PST by Mariner
The International Monetary Fund is being lined up potentially to help Italy and Spain amid growing fears that a European rescue scheme will not be able to prop up the countries, it emerged last night.
Reports in Italy suggested that the IMF is drawing up plans for a 600 billion (£517 billion) assistance package for the country. Spain may be offered access to IMF credit, rather than a rescue package, to avoid it being picked off by the markets in the coming weeks.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Time for trials and hangings on the Capitol Steps.
Metaphorically, of course.
By "save" they mean prop it up just a bit longer.
Apparently this rumor has already been denied.
The USA taxpayers take another financial bullet between the eyes, courtesy of its "leaders".
Be nice if we had leaders who cared as much about the taxpayers as they do their big banker and politician buddies.
Corrupt is as corrupt does.
We'd have better leadership in the USA if we canned elections in favor of a lottery.
Why metaphorically?
I wonder if China knows what we are doing with their money?
By save they mean prop it up just a bit longer.
Are you kidding? We can't even pay our own bills!
This is like paying a gamblers debts, it may solve the problem for a couple of months but all you have done is manage to change who they will soon be in debt to.
DEFUND socialist collectives, FOREIGN and domestic. Let them collapse under their own weight. DEFUND the IMF.
I daresay it is inaccurate - the real figure is probably twice that amount.
Unfortunately, under this plan, many of the eventual losses would be socialized to the US.
And we'll each be compensated with a travel package... I'll take a 10 day Italy/Spain trip for 4, business class.
I think predictions of the demise of the Euro are very premature. The Eurocrats have built an Empire in Brussels, and they certainly won't give up easily. Their big nukes will be having the IMF (ie. the FED) or the EU Central Bank buy up bad debt in a similar "quantitative easing."
Big Central Banks around the world also want to save the Euro, and they will line up behind the status quo. I don't know how it will all end, but we are far from collapse of the Euro.
This is like paying a gamblers debts, it may solve the problem for a couple of months but all you have done is manage to change who they will soon be in debt to.
It is like being an enabler for a drunk or a drug addict.
Where do you get the 45%? I see no mention of that figure in the article.
It just means we all collapse together not that collapse can be avoided
International Pawn Shop Economics
It is actually right at 17%
Pay your taxes.
Lazy Spanish/Italians who hate you really need the money. :)
THIS BAILOUT OF ITALY & SPAIN will cost US taxpayers $136 BILLION (17% of $800 billion)
The Super Committee failed to cut our deficit by 1.2 Trillion over 10 years.
(That would equal $120 Billion in cuts over one year)
Wow! Who saw this coming? Oh, yeah, anyone who knows anything about the IMF.
Too Big To Fail, again? I say let them fail and let the world economy find its equilibrium and start anew.
I'm not getting something. If EVERYONE in the world is 'failing', why don't we all just forgive all the loans to one another and start fresh?
Systemic Monetization
Watch oil, transport, gold, and commodity prices.
(And guess what UK lobby is currently holding the Italy bond bag and wants bailed? One that calls itself an "industry"? The same ones on the receiving end of Phony-Care in th US?)
Because the ones that party at the top, at everyone elses expense, would be exposed for dis-proportioned monetization (i.e. self-regulated salaries & income vs. market driven demand income)
America has funded the world since the mid 50's when will our people wake up?
Please, you degenerate Americans...shut up, get to work (if you have a job) and pay your taxes. Move along...there is nothing to see here.
when I first saw the title I thought Mr. Phelps and his Impossible Missions Force was on the job.
Impossible Missions indeed.
and now this obscene bail-out
I would say we have purchased Europe - what now?
Ugh. And soon shall the PIIGS return to the triugh for more American taxpayer cash?
You type the truth.
We are going unnnnnderrrrrrr. Giant sucking sound as we go down the drain.
Wed have better leadership in the USA if we canned elections in favor of a lottery.
I submit we would have better leadership if we canned elections and replaced all departments with Apple's Siri.
A worldwide reboot so to speak? I've wondered that myself.
Because forgiving someone's loan means you don't get what's owed you, and you have to suffer the consequence - not the debtor. Also, just because you forgive someone's loan doesn't mean the creditor you owe money too will forgive your loan. ...and hence the natural consequence of this economic quandary being war: "you WILL pay me back, pound of flesh if need be."
Methinks this is why the Old Testament commands a "year of Jubilee" where all debts are forgiven every 49 years: it's gonna happen one way or another every half-century (being human nature and economic cycles), so may as well do it in a predicted, specified, organized manner.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Damn! We're in a tight spot!
Well, if we owe (for example) China 500 billion, and China owes Russia and England 250 billion each, and England and Russia owe us 250 billion each, can't we sort it all out with collapsing the system?
You're describing the crux of the "credit default swap" fiasco: "Half-trillion, half-trillion, who's got the half-trillion?" SOMEBODY had the money, a LOT of it, loaned it out, and wants it back no matter how obfuscated the money trail got. "Can I borrow $10, but you only give me $5, so I owe you $5 and you owe me $5 so we're even?" doesn't work.
Debt is not going to "bail out" any nation running a trade deficit.
It doesn't work that way.
A nation has to make things, then export those things.
Has to. A nation will not grow by borrowing. Never.
Did not China like Pimco bail out much of it's holdings?
How The Fed Could Force A Euro-Crisis Solution In Just A Matter Of Hours
Simone Foxman | Nov. 28, 2011, 9:32 AM
[quote]Jefferies strategist David Zervos is back again with new recommendations about how the U.S. could step in and save the global economy.
This week: threaten complete disaster if EU leaders don't act right away.
Akin to what he said about the matter last week:
The game in Europe is as we have described many times before - the Germans want budgetary control throughout all of Europe and the rest of EMU wants Eurobonds. Its a game a chicken with the entire global financial system on the line. The US should not allow itself to become a casualty in this Euro chicken game.
Zervos previously proposed that the Federal Reserve buy massive amounts of EU sovereign bonds, but acknowledged today that it engendered a "bailout culture" that Americans won't be too happy about. Now he says there's actually another way:
So here is another approach that may appeal to the "no bailouters". We could have the Fed cut the USD swap lines with the ECB effective immediately. This would accelerate the game of chicken to the point where a euro financial market crash is basically hours away. Either the ECB monetizes and they begin to issue Eurobonds or the entire Eurosystem falls apart - its that simple. If the US forces the Germans to blink and we get monetization and Eurobonds then its a win! If the Germans don't blink, then US the just nationalizes its own systemic BHCs and watches Europe fall into depression while executing a massive QE3 program to save our own economy. In the later scenario, we print up a whole bunch of USDs to buy up distressed European assets (in fact that worked out pretty well for us back in 90s with the Asian crisis). Either way, we bring this whole painful and annoying saga to a close so we can get on with business of technological advancement and real economic growth.[/quote]

Bingo. The running under-discussed theme behind all these bailouts and "job creation" is: from individuals to nations, wealth must be created to survive. No net wealth creation = demise.
Bout damned time, too.

AbstractFIRST RF proposes a passive array antenna operating from 350 MHz 6000 MHz which provides the Navy a low-risk approach to the next generation airborne SIGINT system. This antenna array provides independent access to 8 beams across the band distributed over a 60 degrees field of view in azimuth and over the elevation field of view of 40 degrees . Our approach is lightweight and does not depend on exotic, unproven, heavy and/or lossy materials. The proposed antenna technology is based on recent breakthroughs here which provide unprecedented performance from a conformal, low-profile aperture. The loading techniques we employ yield an array which nearly attains the theoretical upper bounds to the antenna efficiency. During Phase I, achieving much more than a simple paper feasibility study, FIRST RF modeled, built and tested the array over the full 350 MHz 6000 MHz band of operation. Phase II is focused on small refinements and design for flight. The antenna is currently being designed to fit within the cargo bay of the RC-12; part of the Phase II option will be to accommodate a broader reach of potential Navy SIGINT air platforms.

Joseph Barnard
Known as "Ensign Barnard" although his military rank was captain, Joseph Barnard was a Deerfield, Massachusetts, merchant who imported goods from Salem, Massachusetts, where his Uncle Samuel lived. He was prominent in town affairs, serving as selectman for fifteen years and town treasurer for nearly as long. He built a fine house in Deerfield, facing the common, with each room paneled in clear pine. The house was three stories high and two rooms deep, with a double-hip roof and elegant west and south doors. In 1740 he married Thankful Sheldon (1719-1772), who had grown up in Deerfield's legendary "Old Indian House." They had five children who survived to adulthood. Barnard's fine house still stands on Deerfield's main street and is now the Deerfield Academy headmaster's home.
