What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Acquired taste
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
It's an okay piece but my phone doesn't fit so it just adds weight to my jersey pockets.
fits well
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
for this price, can't go wrong, if anything, has to much room, and allows something to sack around...

That being said, there are just some things in life that I think are far more important and relevant to my life than what was televised by the NFL Network last night. So I did some laundry, played Pinehurst #2 on the PC and cruised through the latest attractive ladies added to the Huddle forum.... all after it became 27-0 shortly into the 3rd quarter.

Album: The Best of My Heart
I wrote you a letter
But threw it away
The words don't come easy
What i tried to say
We live close like neighbors
You walk by my door
I wonder whats up
What youre waiting for
I want to be near you
I made up my mind
How long must i wait
Till i get your side
We should be together
Stop playing this game
I love you forever
Would you to the same
You know where my heart is
How could i pretend
I'll stand by your side
When you need a friend
I love you forever
I give you the best of my heart
I heard a rumor
The places youve been
But destiny brought me
The day you walked in
I know youve been asking
How much you would take
Youve got all it takes
For my heart to break
[Repeat refrain]
[Repeat chorus]
Hold me
Love me
I give you the best of my heart
I love you forever
I give you the best of my heart

verb. The act of ruining the joke of a topic by using sheer stupidity and ignorance by replying to it seriously.
"You just mavericked the topic!"

maverick is a verb used when one is pwned, or more accurately, to be mavericked is more extreme than being pwned. When one mavericks, he becomes a maverick, which is the noun version of the word.
verb - Omg, that guy just killed me across the map with an Assault Rifle, he totally mavericked me.

Highlights of a live chat Wednesday with Michael Chang.
Michael Chang, a former French Open champion who will play in a Champions Cup Series event Oct. 13 in KeyArena, talked about playing tennis at 39, the feud between Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras, and living on Mercer Island in a live chat Wednesday with readers.
Q: Anyone on the Champions tour that you look forward to facing and beating?
Chang: I look forward to having the opportunity to beat all those guys, since they beat on me so much in the main tour. … All of us are retired, but none of our egos has changed.
All of these matches are quite serious because there is a lot riding on the line. The winner of this tour is going to take home a half-million dollars.

- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies

- What the national media are saying about Robinson Cano and the Mariners' hot start to the season
Most Read Stories
Q: How long had you lived in the Seattle area, and when did you leave?
Chang: I lived on Mercer Island from 1998 until around 2004. I loved it in Seattle. I did so much fishing and got a chance to train up there, made a ton of friends. I even enjoyed the weather, believe it or not.
I'm down in Mission Viejo, Calif., now.
Q: What did you think of Andre's Agassi's book? Are Pete Sampras and Andre not on good terms?
Chang: If you're asking me that question, you must not have seen their exhibition doubles match when they played Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. To refresh your memory, Pete almost took Andre's head off on a serve — on the fly, not on the bounce. They're having some issues.
Q: Of the Grand Slam events, which was your favorite to play in?
Chang: Every Grand Slam has a different flavor. The Australian Open is very relaxed, the French Open is very emotional, Wimbledon is very traditional and proper, and the U.S. Open is very exciting and chaotic. I enjoyed playing at the French and the U.S. Open the most.
Q: As a kid, who were your favorite players to watch?
Chang: The generation that I grew up watching was the (John) McEnroe, (Bjorn) Borg, (Jimmy) Connors, (Ivan) Lendl generation. I got a chance to play against every single one of those players except Borg. I played John McEnroe for the first time at the French Open in '88, which was the year before I won in '89. The press conference the day before, John was saying, "I'm going to play this 16-year-old kid and I'm going to kill him." It's kind of tough not shaking in your shoes at that.
My first mistake was that I let him walk out on the court first. The Parisians love John, and he raised his hands like he was royalty, and I walked out after him feeling like the little ball boy who was going to carry his stuff.
Q: Pete vs. Andre in a cage match. Who wins?
Chang: With or without a racket? I would have to favor Andre. Andre's dad is a boxer, so I assume that Andre probably has a little bit of that in him. … Pete's taller but Andre is probably stronger.

Vonn earned 100 World Cup points for the victory and leads Maze by 302.
Her 48th career World Cup win began her defense of the season-long super-combined title.

Date of Stay: September, 2014
Very nice, new park with easy access to I-15. The sites are dirt/gravel but level and long enough to keep a tow attached. All utilities are good. One thing to be aware of is the address listed for the park. It gives an address on Old Mill Rd which is on the south side of the park with no access. The correct entry once you leave the interstate is south on Sandhill and then a left onto Hillside which will take you to the entrance to the park.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
This an older RV park with easy access from I-15. The interior roads are good and the individual sites are dirt/gravel but level. Some pull-throughs are 100' long. There is some shaded sites but probably as many unshaded making satellite reception good. The electrical voltage is very good. The owners have been there about a year and are very friendly and helpful. The park is clean and well maintained. We stayed at the park in 2008 and the price was cheaper but only 30 amp, now 50 amp is available. We would definitely stay here again. Because the ownership is relatively new they have not yet advertised in some RV camping books.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
The RV park is located behind the casino and is easy access to the interstate. Good asphalt interior roads and the individual sites are asphalt and level but just wide enough for an RV. There is grass between sites. Good electrical and water pressure. Although the sites are pull-through, most are not long enough to keep your tow hooked up. Also if you are on the "A" row there is a very tight turn when exiting. It is suggested to try and get a site in the "C" row, some of which appear longer and easier to make the mentioned turn when exiting. All said it is an okay park for a night or two and we would stay here again while traveling through.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
The park is convenient to I-90 and is easy to navigate on asphalt roadways in good repair. The individual sites are dirt/gravel which are level. I did not use the water but the electrical is good. Wi-Fi is good. I didn't hook up to the sewer but like many parks the sewer is at the end of the site and would require a 30' hose to connect. Otherwise a good park for a stopover for a night or two.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Although pricey this is a park that justifies the added expense. Beautiful setting. We occupied a pull in overlooking the lake although any site in the park would be a good experience. Everything worked great, including the Wi-Fi. The park is located about 4 miles from Sisters. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to everyone.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
This your typical KOA basically an old park which is overpriced with not much in the way of frills. We have a 43' motor home and didn't have any difficulty maneuvering inside the park although the space provided was not really level. The electrical was good as was the Wi-Fi. There is not much to choose from in Klamath Falls so in a pinch we would stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
This park is immediately adjacent to Hwy 395 with easy access. Since it is next to a busy highway there is considerable noise. Also there are train tracks nearby and the trains run frequently day and night. From appearances the park is occupied by long term or permanent residents several with small children. They say there is WIFI but we were never able to connect. The electrical and water pressure was good and the site is level gravel with interior roads of asphalt in good repair. I doubt if we would stay here again with the better option staying a few miles away in the Tri City area.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
I have absolutely no idea how this park got the rating it did from Trailer Life. Anyway the park is older but has level gravel sites with grass between the sites. The big drawback is the narrow sites and with slides extended it can make it real cozy with your neighbor. Lots of trees which makes it hit or miss on satellite reception. The WIFI does work okay, and the electrical is adequate. This would definitely be a last resort park for us should we ever stay in Corning again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
We stayed here for one night on our way south and found the RV park to be very nice. Sites were gravel and level and electric good. They have only a few big rig sites, especially if you want to stay hooked up during your stay. The park is clean and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Can't say there is much to Wells except for fuel stops at Hwy 93 & I-80. The park is an easy off & on to I-80 and although close to the freeway the traffic noise was negligible.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
We've stayed here on prior occasions and found the park to be adequate for a couple of days stay. Good electric and water; however, one BIG drawback in my opinion is their sewer hookups. Each site has a shared utility pedestal with only one sewer opening for two sites. Basically you open a sliding door and place your sewer hose inside and your neighbor does the same. The sewer waste whether gray or black goes into the same drainage area which is not sealed to help prevent sewage odor. Also nothing prevents waste from you neighbor getting onto your sewer hose and vice versa. Obviously whoever came up with this gem didn't do any RVing. Other than the above the sites are gravel, but level and adequate to allow most coaches to stay hooked up if desired.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
Nice RV Park with level, pull-through site. Other sites I noticed are pretty sloped so may be difficult to level your rig. The site is barely adequate for a big rig towing if you don't want to unhook. One drawback is only 30amp electric at our site. However, there are 50amp sites but not available on our arrival. Fortunately the weather was nice during our stay so no need for A/C. The casino and restaurants are a bit of a hike from the RV park, but they do offer free shuttles back and forth.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
Nice RV park which is easily accessible off Boulder Highway. We had a level pull-through which was adequate without unhooking our motorhome and tow vehicle. It was an overnight stay so only hooked up to electricity. It wasn't hot so can't comment if the electrical was adequate in that type of weather. Overall would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
Good things first. The park is easily accessible off Hwy 93 and the sites are adequate and level for big rigs without having to unhook. Apparently it is a first come, first serve basis and payment is made with an envelope at the entrance into the park. Not so good things. There is only 30amp electric which was good, but then again it wasn't hot. A sign posted at the entrance states they only want "grey" water dumped at the site and you are supposed to use the dump site for sewer. Don't know what would have happened if the black tank was dumped, but we only stayed overnight so didn't have to find out. All in all the park is adequate for an overnight stay but I wouldn't make it a destination park. FYI another RV park is located on the east side of the casino which supposedly has trees for shade, etc. I didn't check it out however. If dry camping is your thing there is an "event" parking lot on the north side of the casino which is free, close to the casino and pool and quiet.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
This site is strictly an overnighter, if that. Dirt/gravel roads and sites. The sites are relatively level. Lots of trees so if you want satellite access your choices are limited. The only site they say will get satellite reception is site 26 which only has 30amp service. We stayed in that site and no problem with reception or electricity. Not sure if there are any others. This park will do in a pinch but I will probably look elsewhere in the future.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park is so nice that we purchased a lot and will stay on it during the summer months. The park is as described by the previous posts. If looking to rent for a month or more the current monthly rent is $690 which includes Wi-Fi, cable TV and trash pickup at your site. A newspaper can also be delivered to your site. The utilities are excellent as far as electrical, water, and sewer. The adjacent golf course and RV park are maintained in pristine condition. All in all a great destination park.

It can be used. Money is tight at the moment, and am tired of playing the Ebay game. Anybody? I would like to get back on my bike soon. I need something that resists flats.
Here in Austin, we have a thing called Frankenbike which is a swap meet. Plenty of cheap ($5-$10) 700c tires available there, mostly used but some are brand new. (There are heavily used tires too -- but they're usually cheaper or even free -- but I wouldn't suggest using them.)
In your case, where you are matters more than anything else (and you didn't tell us). Maybe your local area has something like this?
Performance Bike sells what you want for as little as $13, and it would be hard to ship you anything for less than that. Certainly, I wouldn't buy a used tire off of eBay.

Craigslist.org, I've also read people buying

http://www.jensonusa.com/store/sub/1...0&pricemax=200 Serfas ties are very good. I have two of the wire bead tires with 2800 miles and just showing a noticeable flat spot. Can't beat the price of $9.99. I've also recently bought the Serfas RS folder. Very light and smooth rolling tire but too soon to tell about length of service.
I am located in Northern Baltimore County Maryland. And I don't drive. No swaps in the area. Couple Bike Shops that are high as usual.
A friend has bought used tires on Ebay and done well. It depends on who you are dealing with but I want something in the next couple days.
I have been going in thrifts for several years now. That's were all the bikes I own/have owned came from. Including this Bianchi Eros that I need the tire for.
Thanks for the responses. They have been helpful. The Serfas would be nice, but pink?
Performance looks like a good option.
Unrelated I am having trouble using Google Chrome on this site. And never had this problem before. Using Mozilla, which I don't care for.

Well you finally said where you live,
if its not in town , shipping is a cost, if you wont do business with your local bike shop,
Good luck
same above as below.
bosses want to not pay labor squat either, in case you haven't noticed..
good luck .. sell the computer and buy the tire.. or
if you have an entertaining skill you could busk for tips in the tourist places..
Feel the Bern.
The more I look those Pink Serfas are a good deal, and actually would work with the color scheme of the bike.
But anymore knowledgeable bargain hunter comments/links are welcomed.

Objectives: To review the virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, natural history, clinical manifestations, and current treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Data Sources: The MEDLINE database (1966 to 1996) was searched for English-language articles and abstracts on HCV and non-A, non-B hepatitis. Papers cited in relevant primary articles were also reviewed.
Study Selection: More than 500 original and review articles were evaluated, and the most relevant were selected.
Data Extraction: Data were extracted and reviewed by all authors.
Data Synthesis: In most patients, HCV infection results in chronic hepatitis. The disease is insidious and subclinical but may progress over decades into end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, which makes HCV cirrhosis a leading indication for orthotopic liver transplantation. Current diagnostic methods are highly sensitive and specific, and quantitative assessment of viral load may help to predict and monitor response to treatment. The only available therapeutic option is interferon, and this agent is effective in only a small subset of patients.
Conclusions: Infection with HCV is a significant public health problem that has important clinical and financial consequences. The tailoring of specific therapy according to viral load or genotype, better patient selection, and use of combination drug regimens may improve the chance of viral clearance and sustained biochemical and histologic response. Further understanding of the basic virology of HCV and the exact mechanisms of viral persistence and tissue injury is needed to help define future therapeutic and preventive strategies.

Buying a property at a public foreclosure auction is not for the faint at heart. It usually requires patience, persistence and a fair amount of cash, since most state foreclosure laws stipulate that the winning bidder pay all or part of the winning bid on the spot.
But for those willing to do the work and able to front the cash, auction properties can yield bargains of 20-40 percent below the market value, and sometimes even more. Like any high-yielding investment, foreclosure auctions come with a certain amount of risk. Managing that risk successfully depends on first doing thorough research on the properties you plan to bid on, perhaps the single-most important step in a successful and profitable auction purchase.
"You've got to know the property inside and out and you've got to know that the party who is auctioning the property is, in fact, in the first lien position," said T.J. Marrs, a real estate investment trainer and author based in Vancouver, Wash. Since many properties may have multiple liens (first and second mortgages or tax liens, for example), this is a critical piece of information to have before the auction begins. Marrs added that if the party auctioning the property is not in the first lien position, the winning bidder may have to pay off other outstanding loans against the property.
First-time auction buyers or investors may be wise to rely on a local real estate agent or real estate attorney to ensure they're making good decisions about which properties to bid on and how much to bid.
Whether working with a real estate professional or not, you can follow this property research checklist to make sure you're fully prepared when you attend an auction.
Research state laws and observe a local auction
Each state governs how the foreclosure process — and specifically the auction procedure — works in that state. The process can vary widely from state to state, so aspiring buyers or investors should study the foreclosure process in their state. Important factors to consider are how quickly a property can go to auction after the owner defaults, how much cash is required at the auction and if the owner has any redemption period after the auction.
In some states, a property can be sold at auction less than a month after the owner defaults, while in other states the foreclosure process can stretch out more than a year, not including any redemption period. The length of the foreclosure timeline certainly influences how quickly you need to research a property and secure the necessary cash to bid at the auction.
If there's a redemption period, the former owner can typically buy back the property by paying the full amount of the winning bid (plus any applicable fees and penalties) during the redemption period. If you're the winning bidder, you should wait until the end of the redemption period before sinking any additional capital into a property purchased at the auction.
First-time auction buyers should attend a local foreclosure auction to observe how state foreclosure laws play out in the real world. Auctions are often postponed or canceled, so it's a good idea to call the trustee or attorney listed on the day of the auction to confirm.
Secure financing
Before bidding at an auction, you'll need to evaluate the cash you have available to spend on an auction purchase. In addition to considering liquid assets such as bank accounts, stocks and bonds, you can apply for a home equity loan to cash out the equity in your home or other real estate assets.
Once you calculate the cash you have available, you can determine how much of that cash you feel comfortable using to purchase an auction property. Of that amount, you will need to set aside some for estimated repairs and some to pay off outstanding liens that survive the auction purchase (although if you purchase the auction property below market value, you may be able to take out a home equity loan on the newly purchased property to fund repairs.) The remainder of the cash can be used for bidding at the auction.
Some states require as little as 5 percent of the purchase price in cash at the auction. Others require the entire purchase price in cash. Either way, you will need to present the necessary cash at the time and place of the auction, usually in the form of a cashier's check. That means you should be ready to withdraw your cash quickly when an auction opportunity arises.
If the winning bid is below the amount of the cashier's check presented at the auction, the trustee at the auction should reimburse the winning bidder for the difference, although reimbursement may take several days or longer. Many bidders bring several cashier's checks in incremental amounts so they avoid having to wait for a substantial reimbursement.
Analyze market value
Once you're comfortable with how the foreclosure process works in your state and your spending limit, you can dive in and start pursuing specific auction properties. For any property scheduled for auction, the first step is to compare the property's estimated market value to the opening bid.
The opening bid is the total amount owed to the foreclosing lender and is the minimum amount the property will sell for at auction. This amount is included on the public auction notice.
If the opening bid is higher than the estimated market value, that particular property does not present a bargain-buying opportunity.
A quick market value analysis is just the beginning, however. You need to dig deeper to find a property's true investment potential.
Check lien & loan history
Before bidding a dime at the auction, it's important that you carefully research a property's title for any liens and loans that won't be cleared out by the auction sale. All liens and loans affecting a property's title are available at the local recorder's office.
Unlike typical real estate purchases, auction sales don't always transfer ownership of the property with a clear title; therefore, it's possible for a buyer to purchase a property at an auction and still have to fork over additional funds to clear out other outstanding debts secured by the property. You might be willing to do this, but you need to know about any outstanding debts before the auction so you can set your maximum bid appropriately.
To determine which liens and loans will be cleared out by an auction sale, you should look at the priority of the liens and loans taken out by the current owner. Priority is typically determined by the date when the lien or loan was recorded. The first recorded takes highest priority and the most recently recorded takes the lowest priority.
The defaulted loan that triggered the auction sale typically clears out any "junior liens" that have a lower priority. There are a few exceptions such as property tax liens, which take priority over all other liens and are not cleared out by an auction sale. Any "senior liens" that have a higher priority than the defaulted loan will usually continue to encumber the property after the auction.
Property title research is probably the most complex and technical part of the auction-buying process, and it's impossible to overemphasize its importance to a profitable auction purchase. First-time auction bidders should seriously consider enlisting the help of a local real estate agent, attorney or title company for this part of the research.
Estimate needed repairs
Estimated repairs should be factored into any property purchase, but there's an added twist with auction properties: in most states, auction bidders don't have any opportunity to view the inside of the property before they bid, let alone hire a professional inspector to inspect the property. You may be able to approach the current occupants and ask permission to view the inside, but that permission is not guaranteed.
While this makes it difficult to pinpoint exact repair costs, you can obtain a ballpark estimate just by viewing the property from the outside. You will be able to infer a lot about the property's overall condition by observing the condition outside. Serious buyers will park their cars and walk by the property and around the neighborhood, also looking for neighbors as potential sources of information. You can also check natural hazard reports to see if the house is located in a zone that makes it more prone to flood, fire or earthquake damage.
Still, the exact cost of repairs is unknown, and you should leave some extra margin for profit in your maximum bid in case repair costs escalate above your estimate.
Calculate your maximum bid
The maximum bid is simply the amount a buyer is willing or able to pay at a public auction. It's important that you set a maximum bid before the auction to make sure you don't get caught up in the emotion of a bidding war and end up overbidding.
Marrs, the real estate investment trainer and author, recommends setting a maximum bid of 60-70 percent of the property's market value as a general rule of thumb. This amount may vary based on the local real estate market conditions. From this baseline bid amount, you should subtract estimated repair costs and any outstanding liens and loans that aren't cleared out by the foreclosure sale.
At the auction, stick to your maximum bid and don't be influenced by other bidders. Sometimes, the foreclosing lender or junior lien holders will bid at the auction to make sure all of their debts and costs are covered by the winning bid. This can sometimes inflate the winning bid close to market value, eliminating any chance at a great bargain.
Of course, the bidding will go up incrementally, so you shouldn't immediately jump to your maximum bid. Continue to go up incrementally until you reach your maximum bid or are declared the winning bidder.
You should consider foreclosure auctions, whether you're looking for a great bargain on a home for yourself or entering the real estate investment arena. Auctions aren't for all buyers, but with the proper resources and the right research they can be a prime opportunity to purchase property below market value.

Franklin resident Yu-long Ling says he is in the third stage of his intellectual career.
The first was composed of his studies in Taiwan and the United States and his first 10 years of teaching at Franklin College.
"I read and studied other textbooks and materials, sharing the theories with my students and parroting these ideas to my colleagues," Ling writes in his 2003 book "American Society Through Confucian Eyes."
The second stage involved digesting the knowledge he had acquired. During this period, he published more than 50 academic articles and three textbooks.
Now in the third stage, Ling said he is exploring the complexities of human relations. One of the ways he has explored these issues is through a regular newspaper column, which he has written since the early 1980s.
A regular theme has been to examine similarities and differences in societies and cultures, not to measure one against another but to enlighten his readers and to give them a new perspective.
His newspaper columns have resulted in a pair of published collections, but Ling admits that writing the column was a new challenge when he started. One of those challenges was length.
Ling said he was used to writing academic papers, in which length was seldom a problem. He was able to explore an issue as deeply as he wanted or felt was necessary.
"But learning to write in so limited a space for the newspaper proved a great challenge," he said recently. "In the beginning I gave my columns to colleagues to help polish them."
Today, Ling still shares unpublished columns, but now his adviser is his son, Tony, an attorney in Chicago.
"He is a very good writer himself," Ling said. "He feels he's a part of my writing. It makes the relationship even more rewarding than just father-son."
Ling said he sees his writing as a natural step beyond the classroom.
"If you don't understand the subject, you can't write about it," he said.
"To me to be a classroom teacher is not enough. You can't simply echo what's in the book. But when I started writing, I began to find my own perspective, my own voice."
Ling's latest book, "Confucianism & Americanism: An Immigrant's Journey to the West," is a collection of newspaper columns originally published in the Daily Journal. But Ling has organized them along themes, such as cross-cultural understanding and social change. All reflect his perspective as a follower of Confucius.
"Confucianism emphasizes individual
responsibility while Americanism stresses individual rights. An individual who only has responsibility without any rights is a slave; an individual who only has rights without responsibility is egocentric," he said. "Confucianism stresses human relations, Americanism stresses materialism. Finally, Confucianism stresses self-cultivation, family, education and responsibility."
His essays also reflect on his position as a minority, both as an immigrant when he came to America and today.
"As a minority, there was always a smaller margin of error," Ling said. "(But) why should I always have to defend myself. ...
"The only way I could protect myself is to do things right, legally and morally. I treat people with respect, and they treat me with respect."
As a result, he always has spoken out about injustice.
"Any time I see something unfair or unjust, I will pick up on that," he said.
Ling said he hopes his readers develop a deeper sense of awareness after reading his columns.
"What I hope the readers can take away from my book is that discrimination in any form is wrong. It is not easy for minority to be successful, we have to work hard in order to survive," he said.
"Furthermore, even though America is a great country, the American way is not the only way and is not always the best way. We need to be humble and open minded in this world of globalization and interdependency."
Even though he has retired from teaching, Ling said he plans to continue researching, writing and speaking.
"Retirement does not mean rest. A sense of involvement is important," he said. "I want to know that I did not waste my natural talent."

European Stocks Push Higher
European stocks markets pushed off session lows to finish higher Monday, the first day of the second quarter, with stronger-than-expected manufacturing data from the U.S. providing the boost.
A lack of economic impetus left markets floundering for most of the day, but inspiration was finally found in the release of the U.S. Institute of Supply Management's manufacturing report, which came in above expectations at 53.4 for March, up from 52.4 in February.
There was also a rise in the employment component of the ISM report, up to 56.1 from 53.2.
"This suggests that hiring is rising at its fastest rate since June last year and with jobless claims numbers continuing to fall this bodes well for Friday's [nonfarm] labour report," said James Knightley, an economist with ING.
Mr. Knightly noted that although U.S. construction spending was a little disappointing, down 1.1% in March versus the 0.6% gain expected, "assuming the housing market continues to strengthen and business activity is growing, then construction will follow at some point."
The Stoxx Europe 600 index gained 1.5% to 267.16.
Among major national indexes, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index rose 1.9% to 5874.89, Germany's DAX index gained 1.5% to 7056.65 and France's CAC-40 index added 1.1% to 3462.91.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.3% at 13248.33 near Europe's close, while the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 0.6% to 1416.27.
Earlier in the day, investors cheered the official China purchasing managers' index report, which was 53.1 in March, up from 51 in February. The March reading in the official report was the fourth consecutive monthly increase but was in stark contrast to HSBC's China PMI print of 48.3, released mroe than a week ago. HSBC'S reading has been below 50 for five months.
The official report however was soon under scrutiny, with Crédit Agricole saying the report doesn't change the outlook for relatively weak first-quarter gross-domestic-product growth for China, nor does it imply an all-clear going forward.
In the currency markets, however, the euro was lower against the dollar following the final release weak euro zone economic data. The unemployment rate in the region rose to 10.8% in February from 10.7% in January and 10% in February 2011. The unemployment rate in the wider European Union increased to 10.2% from last year's 9.5%.
Separately, the final reading of the Markit Euro zone Manufacturing PMI for March confirmed that manufacturing activity in the euro zone declined in March to a three-month low. The data showed activity in France worsened to the lowest reading in 33 months.
Late in Europe, the euro was at $1.3308 against the dollar, from $1.3343 late Friday in New York. The dollar was at ¥82.12, from ¥82.82.
In the U.K. however, the manufacturing PMI surprisingly rose in March, to 52.1 from a slightly upward revised 51.5 in February.
Among commodities, light, sweet crude for April delivery was up $0.97 at 103.99 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold for April delivery was up $11.20 at $1683.10 per troy ounce late in Europe on the Comex division of Nymex.
In major market action: Novo Nordisk added 5.6% after the insulin maker said it now owns 4.71% of the total share capital, as part of its repurchase program. The Danish drug maker also announced that U.S. regulators have approved its insulin product Levemir for the treatment of diabetes in certain pregnant women.
Southern European banks were among the biggest decliners. National Bank of Greece shed 8.3%, pressuring the Athens General Index, which was off 2.1% at 713.66.
In Italy, Banca Popolare di Milano PMI 0.82 % lost 2%, while Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna BPE 0.51 % Scarl shed 1.8%.
Elsewhere, oil group Total TOT -0.59 % advanced 2.3% as the firm said it's getting closer to stopping a gas leak in the North Sea.
In the U.K., mining stocks advanced on the Chinese economic report. Evraz gained 2.4%, while Fresnillo FRES -1.45 % was up 4.1%. Rio Tinto RIO -0.66 % added 3.2% after Barclays upgraded the stock to "overweight" from "equal weight."
GlaxoSmithKline added 2.3% after an HIV-1 drug study met its primary endpoint.
In Frankfurt, Deutsche Post DPSGY 0.59 % added 2.7% after Deutsche Bank raised the stock to "buy" from "hold."
BMW BMW 0.86 % moved up 2.6%. The car maker was affirmed "overweight" at Barclays Capital, where analysts Kristina Church and Michael Tyndall raised their price target on the stock.

Quest For Ratings
I don't know if this counts as a blooper, but the teacher says Craig's show got a 57 in the ratings. And later on they say the "Cough Medicine Story" got a 22 and beat Craig's show, wouldn't they have to get more than that to beat his show?
This is a misfits rejection of a life in submission

The ratings could have dropped because they were no longer high on the cough medicine, and then went on with their normal lives, which probably doesn't involve watching the closed circuit television...that's my guess..

The Syrian conflict is emerging as an extremely attractive recruiting ground for jihadi groups - in February, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the emir of al-Qaida, called upon "every Muslim and every honorable and free person in Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon to go to aid his brothers in Syria" (as-Sahab Media Productions via shamikh1.info, February 11). The uprising is largely Sunni Muslim in character, with the armed insurgency against Bashar al-Assad's secular Alawite-dominated regime almost exclusively focused in rural Sunni Arab regions: Deraa, Homs, Hama, Idleb, parts of the Aleppo and Damascus countryside, and Deir al-Zor, as well as some Sunni enclaves on the Mediterranean coast. [1] Most fighters are locally recruited Sunni Arab civilians and army defectors, while ideological Islamists form only a small minority of the rebel manpower, albeit of growing influence.
The Free Syrian Army and Sunni Radicalism
The most well-known Syrian rebel formation is the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a poorly defined network of largely autonomous rebel groups self-described as "brigades" regardless of their actual size. The FSA itself is almost entirely Sunni Arab, but lacks a distinct ideology. It is loosely allied to the Syrian National Council (SNC), based in Turkey and supported and funded by Western and Gulf Arab states. It includes some of the largest militia formations inside Syria, such as the Farouq Brigade of Homs, and has the nominal support of many more. [2]
The FSA's leadership, a collection of mid-ranking Sunni Arab military defectors headed by Colonel Riyad Musa al-As'ad from a base in Turkey, is actively courting Western support and has unambiguously condemned jihadi groups. This attitude is not necessarily shared by the fighters on the ground, who tend to label themselves FSA whether or not they are in actual contact with the FSA headquarters. With Sunni sectarian perspectives becoming more central to the armed uprising as time passes, most FSA factions are now steeped in religious rhetoric and there are a number of explicitly Islamist groups calling themselves part of the FSA, some of whom use radical jihadi slogans. One such group is the al-Bara bin Malek Brigade, which uses the Salafi-Jihadi flag made famous by al-Qaeda in Iraq and vows to carry out "martyrdom operations." [3]
Outside the FSA umbrella, there are other groups which are more radical and more hostile to Western influence over the uprising. These include the Ahrar al-Sham Brigades, a network of Islamist militias spread over several provinces, as well as a Salafist group in Homs called the Ansar Brigade. Others, such as Fath al-Islam, a Syrian-Lebanese-Palestinian group, predate the uprising. There is not, however, a formal al-Qaeda franchise in Syria, after the failed attempt to establish al-Qa'ida fi Bilad al-Sham ("al-Qaeda in the Levant") in the mid-2000s, though this situation may be about to change (al-Hayat, September 28, 2010).
The Rise of Jabhat al-Nusra
The most prominent Syrian jihadi group, by far, is the Jabhat al-Nusra li-Ahl al-Sham min Mujahedi al-Sham fi Sahat al-Jihad ("The Support Front for the People of the Levant by the Levantine Mujahedin on the Battlefields of Jihad"). Jabhat al-Nusra (as it is known) emerged in early 2012 and has rapidly captured the imagination of jihadi activists and the attention of international news media through spectacular suicide bombings (Shamikh1.info, January 24, 2012).
While non-jihadi Syrian dissidents often accuse Jabhat al-Nusra of being a regime creation, most signs indicate that it may be a spinoff from the al-Qaeda-affiliated "Islamic State in Iraq" (al-Sharq al-Awsat, March 22). U.S. government sources have repeatedly linked Jabhat al-Nusra to al-Qaeda generally and the Iraqi branch specifically, and the group has a very active branch in the Deir al-Zor region along Syria's eastern desert border, where tribal smuggling networks have remained active since the Iraq war (McClatchy, February 10; Guardian, March 22; see also Terrorism Monitor, June 1). Jabhat al-Nusra is now seen by the vast majority of international Salafi-Jihadis as "their" group in Syria, despite the presence of other contenders. It has been actively promoted by the major jihadi web forums, perhaps indicating that trusted sources have vouched for its credibility.
A number of prominent Salafi-Jihadi scholars have also endorsed Jabhat al-Nusra in the past months, further raising its visibility. Examples include Abu Muhammad al-Tahawi, who is based in Irbid in northern Jordan (an area tribally linked to Syria's Dera'a region), where he supports Jordanians who seek to join the jihad in Syria (Shamikh1.info, March 14; al-Jazeera, June 6). Another locally influential name is Abu al-Zahra al-Zubeidi (a.k.a. Osama al-Shihabi), a Lebanon-based preacher and activist considered a leading authority for Fath al-Islam. While some sources claim that al-Zubeidi is in fact the amir of Fath al-Islam since Lebanese intelligence killed its former leader Abd al-Rahman Oud in August 2010, al-Zubeidi emphatically denies even being a member of the group (al-Akhbar [Beirut], January 24). In a written statement released to jihadi forums in May, al-Zubeidi called on everyone including other jihadi organizations to "join Jabhat al-Nusra to strenghten it and to avoid fragmenting the efforts" (Shamikh1.info, May 15). Abu al-Mundhir al-Shanqiti, a Mauritanian scholar who issues religious edicts for the influential Minbar al-Tawhid wa'l-Jihad website, has also strongly backed Jabhat al-Nusra (Minbar al-Tawhid wa'l-Jihad, June 6).
Abu al-Mundhir al-Shanqiti vs. Abu Basir al-Tartusi
However, there are dissenting voices in the jihadi community, chief among them the London-based Salafi-Jihadi theologian Abu Basir al-Tartusi (a.k.a. Abd al-Mun'im Mustafa Halima). Abu Basir, who fled his native Syria during the the 1979-1982 Islamist uprising against Hafez al-Assad, is a leading light of the contemporary jihadi movement. He has been strongly supportive of armed jihad against the Assad regime, and has established a minor group called al-Mu'arada al-islamiya lil-nizam al-souri (Islamic Opposition to the Regime in Syria). [4] In May 2012, a short video clip was published of Abu Basir alongside armed rebels, implying that he had now joined the fighting inside Syria, although the scene could also have been shot in the border regions of Lebanon or Turkey. [5]
Abu Basir has regarded Jabhat al-Nusra with skepticism from the very start, raising doubts about its authenticity and asking why there is no known spokesman for the group (its leader, known by the nom-de-guerre al-Fatih Abu Mohammed al-Joulani, appears only through distorted voice recordings). [6] Abu Basir has angrily refuted jihadi complaints about the FSA. These have tended to focus on the concept of al-raya, 'the banner' i.e., the requirement that mujahideen should flock to a single legitimate leadership, fully committed to Islamic rule, for their jihad to be legitimate. According to Abu Basir, what matters at this stage is to topple the regime, not to split hairs about theological concepts such as al-raya. He considers the FSA to be "heroic mujahideen" and their detractors to be "present-day Kharijites." [7]
This position has led to a public clash with Abu al-Mundhir al-Shanqiti, who states that by "announcing his support for those who adopt the democratic program and at the same time attacking those who will apply Islamic Shari'a," Abu Basir displays "a great shortcoming" (Minbar al-Tawhid wa'l-Jihad, May 21). In contrast to Abu Basir, Abu al-Mundhir has been wary of the FSA all along. He believes that jihadis need to maintain working relations with the FSA on the battlefield, but laments that the FSA "doesn't fight under the banner of Shari'a, [but] to implement democracy and consecrate Western values" (Minbar al-Tawhid wa'l-Jihad, May 21). Muslims should instead "hurry to join the mujahideen in Jabhat al-Nusra, the existence of which has eliminated the need for any other group," because unlike the FSA, Jabhat al-Nusra fulfills the demand for al-raya. On a more flexible note, Abu al-Mundhir supports the use of secular-sounding movement names as a tactical ruse, and says that jihadi groups can also cooperate with the FSA in order to tap into its foreign funding. (Minbar al-Tawhid wa'l-Jihad, June 6).
Personal or Political, Local or Global?
Some of the differences between Abu al-Mundhir and Abu Basir could perhaps be explained by Abu Basir's special relationship to the conflict. As analyst Joas Wagemakers notes, the Tartus-born jihadi "obviously cares about Syria," and has been striking a much more nuanced tone than is usual in jihadi politics "one of concern for his native land." [8] How deeply personal the struggle against the Assad regime is for Abu Basir was illustrated by his post to Facebook on May 31 - a wrinkled and yellowed photograph of his brother Abd al-Qadir, abducted by Syrian intelligence in 1981 and never heard from since. [9]
But the difference in perspective is not simply personal, nor is it limited to Syrian affairs. Abu Basir has always been an odd bird in the militant community due to his negative view of suicide bombings. Almost alone among the major Salafi-Jihadi scholars, he opposes this favorite jihadi tactic on theological grounds. [10] His FSA dispute with Abu al-Mundhir has also coincided with a similar public conflict about jihadis in Yemen, with Abu Basir criticizing the extremist tendencies of Ansar al-Shari'a and Abu al-Mundhir attacking Abu Basir's "disgusting deviation." [11]
As obscure as these intra-jihadi quarrels may seem, they are not unimportant. As Wagemakers points out, Abu al-Mundhir and Abu Basir "may well be the most influential and most prolific radical scholars in the world right now," if only because the other contenders are dead or in prison. [12] Their conflict is not simply one of egos, but an example of the tension between principled radicalism and business-minded pragmatism which has long dogged the jihadi movement. In a situation where the core leadership of al-Qaeda has been decimated and militant Salafism becomes ever more decentralized, the fact that two of its most senior theologians have started to appear as ideological polar opposites will further fragment the global jihadi community.

Absolutely Stunning. Is it from SQUARE? PRODUCTION I.G? No, the most perfect realization of the anime-style in 3D comes from a single young animator out of Spain.
Let's talk shop. How did you pull off the amazing visuals?When I first started I had absolutely no idea about animation or video editing, so as a graphic-novel artist, the plan was to make a smaller 2D short film with drawings and very limited animation. Then I started experimenting with some 3D software I used previously for reference in my drawings. I did some rough animations and was very happy with the results. The rest was a lot of tutorials, time, and hard work. I worked on the short full-time, all day, all year. The first six months were mainly a trial and error process. The equipment was nothing fancy, I used my computer and software I already had. For the CG, I used a combination of Blender and Daz Studio. The renders were heavily post-produced to achieve the look I wanted. I used my experience as an illustrator to work every shot like a painting with lots of layers and details. It was hard work but ultimately very rewarding. Hardware was an old 2003 iMac that died during the process and was replaced by a Mac Pro during the production. your article on the launch for Thomas Beale Cipher, it was very revealing when I first started the distribution.

Birthday Birdie
Before I get to today's card info, a few quick notes: First, the diaper favor template -- it's coming! I promise. My design deadlines are coming one after the other, so I'm hunkered down for the weekend getting those things finished. I'll get the template and instructions put together for Monday or Tuesday. Second, my Sketch for You To Try is also coming a little later (same excuse). And third, so far so good on the whole 40 thing!
Okay, on to today's card. Since I'm the host this month at Our Creative Corner, I couldn't flake out on this challenge ;) Plus, it's a sketch challenge, and I love those! Even though I nearly always sketch out my cards on paper before stamping a thing, I've never put together an "official" sketch. Hope this is one you'll like.
I flipped the main image from the left to the right to accommodate my image, which is from Verve's new Birthday Surprise set. The patterned papers all come from the Nana's Nursery Baby Boy collection from DCWV. I stamped the bird on watercolor paper and colored with an aqua painter and reinkers. (By the way, has anyone else had problems watercoloring with Apricot Appeal? Everytime I do, I end up with a splotchy mess. Wondering if it's something about that particular ink color, or if it's my reinker. Can they go bad, I wonder?) The balloons, hat and wing are all stamped a second time, trimmed out and popped up. I coated the balloons with Crystal Effects for some shine.
Be sure to head over to Our Creative Corner to see what all the rest of the designers (Cindy, Dawn, Denise, Jennifer, Julee, Laurie, and Lynda) put together with this sketch. We'd love to have you play along! If you upload to SCS, use keyword: OCCC.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
Stamps: Birthday Surprise (Verve)
Paper: Baja Breeze, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White card stock (SU!); Nana's Nursery Baby Boy Collection (DCWV); watercolor paper (Canson)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze (SU)
Accessories: corner rounder, Baja Breeze striped ribbon, Apricot and Celery 1/4" grosgrai, aqua painter, paper piercer, dimensionals, Crystal Effects (all SU); scalloped rectangle Nestability (Spellbinders); clear adhesive crystals (Martha Stewart)

I'm about to turn 60. Last year I returned to bicycling after a decade long layoff purchasing a Salsa Fargo which has proven ideal for both my size (6'4 /285 lbs) and the kind of riding I like to do which can be described as decent roads away from traffic such as rail trails and rural dirt roads.
While last season I routinely did rides of up to 30 miles without being wrecked, I did have some back issues and hand pain and numbness issues. I found that I rarely used the drops on the Woodchipper bars preferring to ride the hoods and flats, probably 70/30. I do wear both gel gloves and the bars have a double layer of gel tape, but I often found myself having to shake my hands to try to relieve the onset of both pain and numbness.
This coming season I'm hoping to stretch the miles and I would like to be more comfortable. I'm willing to put some money into the bike in terms of a new handlebar, saddle if needed, and so forth. I have been doing my online homework, but I would greatly appreciate hearing from folks like me who have had to deal with this and managed to improve their situation.

If you can take in the simple step-by-step instructions provided with the Quick Internet Profits system, then you can plug-in your very own cash drawing templates that are proven to work. Additionally, you will learn how to send thousands of targeted traffic to your offers so that you can begin to make money straight away.
That's it! There is nothing more or less that is required of you and once you implement the Quick Internet Profits system, the results will simply floor you.
Now, most so-called internet 'gurus' will tell you that you need to go after the biggest niches there are in order to make money. They will tell you to go after niches such as weight loss, credit cards, insurance, dating, web hosting, and on and on. What they won't tell you is that these types of niches are way oversaturated and the possibility of you actually getting involved in any of them and making a real dent is almost impossible.
The fact is that these niche markets are already dominated by some of the biggest names in business today. So, how can you really expect to compete? The answer is, you can't and you won't.
Another popular myth perpetrated by many of these same 'gurus' is that you can make lots and lots of money getting involved with affiliate marketing. However, what they neglect to tell you is that making money as an affiliate marketer takes a lot of time and a lot of experience. Can you make money over a long period of time as an affiliate marketer? Maybe, but if you are like most people, you want to start making money online right away.
Forget what the so-called gurus are telling you! What you need to be doing is going after the smaller niche markets that have products that the average Joe and Jane want. You have to be able to reach these people at a lower level because you just won't at the larger level. They are already being bombarded by television ads, billboard ads, radio ads, online ads, and even mail ads touting the larger niches and unless you can match that kind of advertising budget, you will simply go unnoticed in the larger niche markets. Fortunately, Quick Internet Profits solves this problem.
All you need to do in order to make real money online is to market very real products to real people. These products will consist of things that the average person wants and will therefore willingly give up some of their hard earned money in order to get, such as items for a hobby, a sport, and the like. These items will relate to something that they enjoy doing.
How powerful are the results of the Quick Internet Profits system? Well, just three years ago I was working a nine to five job and was over $27,000 in debt. I had a small apartment I rented, a car that ran sketchy at best, and I only dreamed about taking a vacation. In fact, I only had around $100 to my name.
Three years later, I own a mansion on the beach, drive a brand new sports car, and have made well over $1.5 million in profits. Even more remarkable, I'm able to do this working about four hours a week. Most people work at least eight hours a day just to make ends meet, but I only average half the hours of a regular work day for a whole week! MY rags to riches story can be yours as well.

Since Manchester United bought Juan Mata there has been fevered speculation about the new strongest eleven.
Do Manchester United stick with a 4-4-2 and play Juan Mata wide right? Or do they try him in the centre as a ball playing attacking midfielder? Alternatively David Moyes could opt for a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and employ Mata in a more narrow formation.
But most of the projections that we see for the new Manchester United don't include Shinji Kagawa. There is no doubt that Manchester United haven't seen the best of the Japan international since she joined the club. But, in a time when the team seems incapable of keep and using possession wisely, Kagawa spends as much time as ever on the bench.
The way that Moyes sets up his teams – rigid and with new signing Mata starting – you just can't see a way back for Kagawa at Manchester United.
But we would counter that Kagawa is clearly one of Manchester United's best eleven players. So Moyes should surely find a system that fits him in too. Moyes complains about a lack of quality players but then goes out and spunks £40m on a number ten who plays like Kagawa.
We think that Mata was a good signing but only if the team can fit in all its best players. Moyes needs to be less rigid with his formations and allow the ball players back into the team. Kagawa, for example, could do a far better job in the centre of midfield than Cleverley, who regularly gets picked, despite awful performances.
Indeed, we think that Mata should actually be given the role of attacking central midfielder if Moyes wants to continue with a 4-4-2. Even in a 4-2-3-1 Mata could play deeper in order to give Kagawa a starting berth.
We can't see Moyes putting Mata and Kagawa into the same team when everyone is fit. Which is a shame because their combined ball control, passing and movement is what Manchester United so lack right now.
So what about this for a 4-4-2 which gets United's best eleven on the park instead of the likes of Young and Cleverley:
De Gea, Evra, Rio, Jones, Rafa, Kagawa, Mata, Carrick, Januzaj, Rooney, RvP
Or the same players in a 4-2-3-1 with Mata or Kagawa controlling the game from a deep lying 'quarter back' position? Both these teams are far better than what Moyes is fielding right now.
Controlling possession and using the ball more creatively are currently the big problems for Manchester United. Yet they are leaving one of their best ball players out in the cold. Go figure!
Manchester United fans – can you see a future for Kagawa under Moyes?
