I also think that any quality vintage lugged steel touring bike will have a similar feel to what the Atlantis and Sam have, so if you being new or used doesn't matter to you then save a boatload of cash and get a vintage bike. You can always upgrade a vintage bike to suit your needs and still be far under the cost of a new bike. My main touring bike is an 85 Schwinn Le Tour Luxe that I ride in it's stock form because it was so well equipped from the factory there isn't any need to change anything except converting from downtube shifters to barend, but so far I haven't had the need to do that.
If you really prefer a new bike and lugged steel is not a big priority there is a the Kona Sutra which comes with a slightly better build kit than the Sam but with 700c wheels instead of 26, but comes fully ready to tour with racks front and rear plus fenders front and rear. The Kona fully equipped cost about as much as just the build kit for the Sam! But of course it doesn't have the wow look factor of the Sam. See: KONA BIKES | 2014 BIKES | ROAD: FREERANGE | SUTRA
A lot of people compare the Sam to a Surly LHT or other similar touring style bike, but I don't think that's actually all that accurate. Even when you compare the geometry of the Sam to others, it doesn't quite match.
When I picked up my Sam, the dealer (one of the few that actually carried Rivendell - not sure if he still does) indicated that the Sam would probably be good for "short tours" but not extended ones. Even one of my friends who's into racing thought he could go pretty fast on the Sam when he tried it out. The Sam is described by Rivendell as a "country bike" - go anywhere, do anything - within some reasonable limits. The closest I can describe it is some sort of a like a roadish style hybrid, with some gravel grinding and touring thrown in - I guess country bike is pretty accurate.
As for build kit quality... honestly, I don't have much to compare it to: all I can say is that it rides nice and smooth.
Rivendell Sam Hillborne and Hunqapillar; Brompton M6R Sage Green; Salsa Mukluk 3 FAT Bike; Nerdy Academic; Nikonian; Wing Chun; and a Patridge in a Pear Tree.
I haven't ridden an Atlantis but the weight and geometry of the Sam is different. The Sam is more like a lightweight Hunqapillar. That's why I bought one. I had an LHT, then when I had some "extra" money I upgraded the frame with the Hunqapillar. The Hunq handles a lot differently than the LHT and I love that so much I wanted a lighter, faster version, so I bought a Sam. The Sam is my choice for metric centuries, I just did one last weekend, did 64 miles with 4 hours in the saddle. I don't really try. A faster rider with ambition could easily push Sam over 20MPH. Comparing it to a hybrid is pretty accurate, it's fast enough to be fun, durable enough to ride on anything but single track, and comfortable enough to ride all day.

Agree - Stumpy 1990's era ad poor man's R'dale - nice work. I have my sights o one for that purpose as well.
And what's going on with the handlebar on your Sam? Cool! I'd love to see bigger pictures.

Before I owned a Rivendell, I turned my 2000 Jamis Aurora into a poor man's Rivendell. I could get 32s on it with a set of fenders, canti brakes, mustache bar with dirt drop stem, brooks saddle, I used downtube silver shifters. All in all, it was a very nice riding bike but the wheels I was using (the original sora hub some cheap rimmed wheels that came with the Aurora) started breaking spokes and developed cracks. I still have the frame and have often thought of turning it into a nice commuter...maybe in the future.
I decided to buy a Riv and waited until the right deal came by. At this time Riv had "memberships," not sure if they do that anymore, but I would get emails with member deals in them and along came an 650b orange 48cm Sam Hillborne frameset with canti brake bosses for 800 bucks. I jumped at the deal and am glad I did.
The bike is awesome. Here is a recent picture, soon to be changed to a set of albatross bars. I used it for two years as a sort of "go fast" bike but now it permanently has racks and bags.

Here's the poor boy's (or girl's) kiddie Riv - a cheapie from Sears' Free Spirit brand from the late '80s, complete with steel rims and cranks and the Falcon friction shifters you can still get new. I don't recall being aware of these when they were new, but then, I was 7 and my parents were confident my new Schwinn Predator was the bee's knees. I saw this on Fleabay and, never having been aware of anything quite like it, snapped it up almost instantly for my son, who seems to be loving it to bits. Despite the cosmetic dings, it arrived in rideable condition - mostly all it needs is a front derailer cable (which can wait) and front hub service (which probably shouldn't).
This may be the first bike where I've honestly worried about the possibility of someone stealing it ....

good for you for continuing the appreciation of touring to your son. Looks like it can carry some gear too.
Thanks! I've never actually been on a bicycle tour - but touring bikes are great for running errands in town, which is how we get our cycling in.
Come to think of it, I just might have chosen one of these over my Predator if I'd been aware of the option at the time ... but they really wanted to get me a Schwinn, which I don't think was doing this sort of thing in 1987.

thanks. i like the chrome fenders on there too. they are from a 60's 3-speed as are the steel north road bars. running 26 x 1.5 tires.
What about the Velo Orange Polyvalent? It's lower trail, designed for 650B, and has room for some pretty large tires and fenders. I've thought about getting one until my Rivendell dreams come true.
I finally got to my ultimate poor man's Rivendell. After this, it's either going to be a 26" Surly LHT or custom frameset.
This is a 700c Trek Multitrack that I've converted to 26" wheels. I suspect this is as close as you can get to an Atlantis (other than MAYBE a 26" LHT) without spending a bundle of money.
Top-tube 57 (Trek)/57 (Atlantis)
Head tube 71.5 (Trek)/72 (Atlantis)
Fork rake 41 (Trek)/40 (Atlantis)
Chainstays 43cm (Trek)/44cm (Atlantis)
BB drop 60mm (Trek)/48mm (Atlantis)
The key attributes that set my 730 apart from a typical vintage MTB is the shorter top-tube and the much lower bottom bracket (which is a big deal for Rivendell bikes). This particular combination is pretty much only found in specialized touring bikes like the Atlantis, Co-Motion Pangea, R&E UTB, Thorn and a few others. The 26" LHT is damn close to my size Atlantis in it's geometry. My big decision is whether to buy the LHT in near future or a Pangea or UTB in the more distant future.
Currently riding a custom built 1x9 Surly Karate Monkey. Dreaming of a 26" wheel build, either an 80's MTB or a Surly LHT.
Mine is a 1995 model and I think there were several years that had this geometry. The later 90's model Multitracks had chainstays lengthened to 44.5cm and the fork rake increased to 50mm, which gives them a road bike trail measurement (60mm with 55mm tires) versus the Atlantis' MTB trail measurement (68mm with 55mm tires). The 1995 Trek 720 and 700 even had different geometry from the 730 and 750, having much higher bottom brackets, with a lower one being the key to making my 730 feel so good.
Brakes, of course, are a major problem on a conversion like this. I struggled with different ideas on how to overcome it and finally ended up with a 1992 Rockhopper frameset (bought for a different purpose...not for a fork) that had the same length fork as my Trek and had a steerer tube that, even though it was longer, I was able to use it with about a cm of spacers. I stuck a simple V-brake on there and right now, the rear has no brake. Dimension makes 26" forks, both threaded and threadless, that could be used for this purpose as well.
If I decide to buy a LHT frameset, I'll just ride this bike like this for the few months it takes me to raise the funds. I'll probably never leave the subdivision, especially with colder weather getting here. If I decide to buy a Pangea or R&E UTB, I will consider having the cant studs on the rear moved so a 26" brake will work. It will probably take me a year or more to raise the funds for a custom frameset.
The key to making this work is to commit to really fat tires. In the initial stages of my 26" experiment, I wanted to buy the Compass 26" tires (upgraded Paselas) but I wouldn't be comfortable with the BB height of this bike with those tires. BB drop is surprisingly difficult to measure consistently and accurately but the most common direct measurement I've gotten is 60mm and the whole (radius + tire width) - BB height equaled 60mm. Even Rivendell 26" bikes have BB drops much less than that and Grant is known for preferring a lot of drop! The closest bike I've found is the Co-Motion Pangea, with 55mm of drop. They list a BB height of 26.8cm on that bike and I calculated that out to be with a 38mm tire. My BB height with 55mm Big Apples is in the mid-to-upper 27 cm range.
I've been riding this bike for close to a week and I feel like I'm part of the bike when I'm riding it. It's more like sitting in a car. Yesterday, I got back on my 700c bike, with 70mm of BB drop, which is standard for road bikes, and I felt like I was sitting on top of a house! It was a completely different and unpleasant feeling! I've been ambiguous about BB height, leaning toward it not making much difference, but after riding three MTB's with high BB's, my newer bike with a medium-to-lower BB height and this 730 with a low BB, I'm sold on the idea. Grant alludes to the fact that you are lower to the ground but it also changes your position relative to the handlebars and they end up being much higher with the same amount of stem showing. A low BB is now a must-have for me and is the primary reason the Pangea has jumped to the top of my list and I'm a bit ambivalent about the LHT with it's 48mm of drop.

Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings says his office is investigating the shooting of a 20-year-old Detroit man Friday night. He says the office is unsure whether charges will be brought against the man or the Lansing Police officers involved. But the man will be arraigned on four felony charges, including attempted murder, stemming form a shooting in Lansing last Wednesday. The man is expected to be released from the hospital this weekend.
The man was shot by officers around 9:30 p.m. Friday. Police were trying to serve a warrant that was out for his arrest. Officials say they received a tip that the man would be in the area around Jolly and Waverly.
Officers were sent to the neighborhood, found the car and made a traffic stop. The driver exited the car, but the passenger, who police were looking for, brandished a gun, according to police. Police fired shots and the man was hit.
Police are not releasing the names of the man or the officers involved. But they say the investigation is ongoing.

For most people the holidays mean family, togetherness, and focusing on the things that matter most in life. For Greg it means taking the artwork off the walls, putting away photographs, and sleeping single, because this Christmas his partner Michael's mother is coming to visit. Things would be easier if Michael would finally come out to her, but until he gets the guts to do that, it's up to Greg to do some straightening up. A holiday short story.

Amity Vineyards
Myron Redford blazed his own trails while learning to create world-class wines from Willamette Valley-grown grapes. After purchasing a vineyard in 1974, he spent the next two decades adopting innovative methods and pioneering new varietals. In addition to exploring low-sulfite wines and organically grown grapes before many of his peers, Myron also replaced all of his chardonnay vines with pinot blanc and forging wines with gamay noir, a little-used grape among American winemakers. This combination of intuition and experimentation established the winery's reputation for forging distinctive, Old World-style wines with a deft balance of crisp acidity, fine tannins, and rich fruit flavors.
Every year, 15 acres of estate-grown pinot noir, riesling, and pinot blanc ripen on Amity Vineyards' vines, and the head winemaker, Darcy Pendergrass, secures the rest of the grapes from vineyards throughout the northern Willamette Valley. After the tiny fairy on staff juices each individual berry with magic, the staff then allows the concoction to ferment and mature before siphoning the wine into bottles. Visitors can then sample these bottles from the comfort of a tasting room that overlooks the Oregon Coast Range.

"Although the weather was cold and chilly grey day outside, the warmth of staff inside and the wonderful spirit lifting wine provided, made the afternoon a delight!"
"Enjoyed our tasting. The server was charming and the setting was casual and unpretentious. The gamay noir was delicious."

Oklahoma tornadoes: NWS upgrades 3 tornadoes from EF-3 to EF-4
Three of the seven tornadoes that struck Oklahoma and killed 10 people this week have been upgraded from EF-3 to EF-4. A fourth tornado has now been rated an EF-2.
An EF-4 tornado has wind speeds of 166 to 200 mph and is the second highest rating for tornadoes.
The weather service on Friday said EF-4 tornadoes were produced Tuesday from one storm that stretched from Binger to Guthrie, a second from Chickasha to near Moore, and a third from Washington to Goldsby.
An EF-3 tornado with winds between 136 and 165 mph occurred at Canton Lake and the EF-2 twister struck near Stillwater.
Tornadoes near Stella and Ravia have not yet been rated.
The weather service said it's still investigating the storms and the ratings may again be updated.

Labrava (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Joe LaBrava first fell in love with femme fatale movie queen Jean Shaw in a darkened theater when he was twelve. Now he's finally meeting his dream woman in the flesh, albeit in a rundown Miami crisis center. Cleaned up and sober, though, she still makes LaBrava's heart race. And now that Jean's being terrorized by redneck thug Richard Nobles and his slimy Marielito partner Cundo Rey, Joe has a golden opportunity to play the hero. Or he could wind up the patsy—or dead—in the final reel.

It is common to server downloadable files which are located outside the public folder by PHP:
$fp = fopen($file,"r") ;
header("Content-Type: application/msword");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');
while (! feof($fp)) {
$buff = fread($fp,4096);
echo $buff;
I have two questions:
Comparing with static files served by web server (direct file URL); does this method needs more resources (memory and cpu), as PHP needs to read the file and deliver?
How we can display some text on the page? As we defined
header, we do not have html output of the php script.

First Pitch: Breakout Candidates
In tonight's Prospect Notebook I wrote about how Quincy Latimore is focusing on his plate patience issues. Latimore has some of the best power in the system, but he's not much of a prospect because his power has always been negated by a low walk rate and a high strikeout rate. He's only 23 years old, so if he could turn those plate patience issues around, he could emerge as a very interesting prospect to follow.
I get asked a lot about breakout candidates for the upcoming season. The topic of Latimore got me thinking about some potential breakout candidates, and what they would have to do to break out. Here are my picks, using the Pirates Prospects top 50 as a guide. The top 50 is exclusive to the Pirates Prospects 2012 Prospect Guide, which can be purchased on the Products page of the si...

Lagos State female popular politician, Kemi Nelson, is reportedly said to be staging a come back to politics again after several of years in the oblivion.
Available information reaching The Eagle Online revealed that Nelson is eyeing the Senate and plans are already underway to make sure her dream comes to pass.
Those in the know said that the major hurdle she has to cross is getting the blessing of the political godfather of the Action Congress of Nigeria and former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
But as it is, she appears to have been giving the go-ahead.
The former Lagos State commissioner, we learnt, would be declaring her interest after the All Progressives Congress holds it National Convention in Abuja after registration by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Nelson is a half sister to popular socialites and businesswomen, Kofo Olugbesan and Biodun Laja.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Bowling is a model for interpersonal relationships—the ball is your scream and the pins are other people's opinions. Make a striking statement with this Groupon.

- $16 for a Galaxy Bowling session for two (a $32 value)
- $32 for a Galaxy Bowling session for four (a $64 value)
From 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings, the alley transforms into a music-filled party awash in black lights, lasers, and fog with unlimited bowling for three hours.
Irvine Lanes
As friends sup quietly in a private banquet hall, chaos reigns a floor below. There, stones hurtle toward the wall, forming piles of rubble soon swept away and forgotten in the clamor. Still, the friends dine peacefully, unaware of the destruction happening under their feet. At the two-story Irvine Lanes, bowlers topple pins on the first floor's 40 lanes while the second floor hosts private parties and catered events in an elegant setting. Of course, a snack bar lets bowlers eat downstairs, too, and a full arcade, bar, and smoking patio keep outings interesting as the machine whittles new pins between frames.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Big 12 Conference landed six teams in the NCAA tournament on Sunday, all but one of them in the top half of the bracket.
One team's fans weren't happy with the seedings, though.
The Oklahoma fans who stayed in Kemper Arena after the fourth-ranked Sooners beat No. 1 Kansas 64-55 for their second straight Big 12 tournament title booed when the Jayhawks were seeded No. 1 in the Midwest Regional.
Oklahoma, meanwhile, had to settle for the No. 2 seed in the West.
Kansas (29-3) will meet 16th-seeded Holy Cross (18-14) on Thursday in St. Louis. The Sooners (27-4) open against 15th-seeded Illinois-Chicago (20-13) on Friday in Dallas.
The Big 12 tournament's semifinal losers wound up with No. 6 seeds, matching them against No. 11 seeds in the first round.
Texas (20-11) will also play in Dallas on Friday - but against Boston College (20-11) in the Midwest Regional. Texas Tech (23-8) will play Southern Illinois (26-7) on Friday in the East Regional at Chicago.
The teams that lost to Texas and Texas Tech in the Big 12 quarterfinals also earned bids.
Oklahoma State, beaten by Texas Tech's Red Raiders, is the No. 7 seed in the South Regional. The Cowboys (23-8) open against 10th-seeded Kent State (27-5) on Thursday in Greenville, S.C.
Missouri, eliminated by Texas in the quarterfinals, is seeded 12th - tied for the lowest at-large seeding in the 64-team tournament - in the West. The Tigers, who were once ranked No. 2 after a 9-0 start but have gone 12-11 since then, meet fifth-seeded Miami (24-7) on Thursday in Albuquerque, N.M.

Pit Stop to Hamptons
For the past couple summers, Philippe, the chain of Chinese restaurants from chef Philippe Chow, has been a staple of East Hampton's pop-up nightlife. This year, denizens of the beach will have to travel a little farther for their chicken satay skewers, i.e. to Jericho, Long Island.
Owner Stratis Morfogen opened a Philippe there late last fall, a quarter mile off of the Long Island Expressway in a location belonging to a restaurant called Capriccio that had originally been there for 35 years. "We're not convinced the crowd is going to slow down over summer time," he said. "Instead of cutting our staff very thin, we're going to stick with Jericho and not start a seasonal business."
Mr. Morfogen believes he'll attract crowds on their way out east and back into the city that are "stuck in traffic."
The East Hampton location proved problematic because of housing complications. Prices in Jericho, he said, which lies between Sands Point and Woodbury, are "20% less than in the city and 30% less than East Hampton."

Progressive, Socially Responsible Slavery
Horowitz, Gad, Canadian Dimension
In 1953, I was a nice, young (17) liberal persuaded by the anti-leftist reading of Orwell's 1984 that socialism = dictatorship. My English teacher at Crescent Heights High School in Calgary--where a large portrait of former principal William Aberhart sanctified the front lobby--introduced me to a different approach. She was a kind of Social Credit-CCFer; yes, there were such hybrids in old Alberta. She suggested that I read Jack London's The Iron Heel, about the rise of a future capitalist dictatorship in the U.S. But what really impressed me in the novel was London's absolute neglect of easy moralism: the class war was a class war, not a confrontation between bad, selfish, greedy, cruel bosses and good, generous, loving, righteous workers. The revolutionary hero falls in love with the daughter of a top plutocrat; hero and plutocrat develop a respectful dialogic relationship in the midst of their war-to-the-death
Which brings me to the question of slavery. Recently I came across a book called Advice Among Masters (edited by James O'Breeden, London, Greenwood Press, 1980) consisting entirely of southern U. …

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A great town-centre raceIn full: A fine race - starts and finishes in the town square, excellent loo and other facilities in the vicinity, loads of folk out to watch and the locals seemed happy to have us. This is the only race I've done where the mayor was handing out medals in his chain of office! Near the railway stn, which is important to us non-motorists. I liked the course, which was varied enough to keep it interesting, both in scenery and profile - the ups in the first 3K were noticeable but not killers. An excellent goody bag (medal, T-shirt and a cotton shopping bag). Only very minor gripe is that the year isn't shown on the ribbon, but I can live with that. Great finish atmosphere, plenty of pubs and cafes, and this emigre Cornishman was pleased to see a pasty shop just 200 yards from the line - the icing on the cake, really. I'll be back!Date of review: May 31, 2009
In short: A fine eventIn full: A surprisingly green and wooded course, apart from a few pavement sections. No huge inclines but as ever, over 13 and a bit miles you're going to have some inclines. But as it's a circular route what goes up comes back down. Excellent organization and an amazing goody bag with medal and T-shirt and other things for one of the smallest entry fees around. Also an excellent start and finish venue. It was a hot day, so I certainly appreciated the abundance of water and sponge stations. Definitely one of the best events around. Date of review: May 10, 2009
In short: A nice day outIn full: A no-frills local 10K - turn up, pay a tenner, run the race. Coupled with a fete on the village green. Nice course, more scenic and rural than the previous one. Particularly appreciated the baggage tent - important for non-motorists who can't stow their gear in the boot. I'll be back next year if I can.Date of review: May 4, 2009
In short: Unexpectedly challengingIn full: Credit to the organizers for finding a rural off-road course in the suburban sprawl of west London. It was harder than I expected but good fun nonetheless. Good choice of start venue, with a shopping centre nearby for the family and within easy cycling range of the railway station. A nice no-frills no-nonsense 10k to work off the Easter chocolate.Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: A nice event but over-organizedIn full: I echo what Sleepy Lion said earlier - there was a lot of mailings and imho an opportunity missed to earn more money for the cause. For the price to get a T-shirt, traffic-free course, medal and chip timing is very, even excessively, generous given the fundraising cause. Tbh I would have done away with the chip and put the money to asthma - the start was spacious enough for everyone to be across the line within seconds. The venue was nice, the course flat and straight although a bit windswept and desolate. Supervised baggage storage was excellent. The PA system was poor, I couldn't hear the safety talk and speeches properly. Unlike another previous reviewer, I had no trouble spotting the distance markers.A good and enjoyable event and I'll be back, but I reckon it could raise more for the cause with a little less organization, if you see what I mean.Date of review: April 11, 2009
In short: Very good raceIn full: A friendly, sociable village green type of 10K, in a very good cause. The course is hardly inspiring, but then it is Frimley! That said, it's nice and varied with some inclines (none of them killers) to add some spice. A couple of comments. 1) It's all in densely-populated suburbia so we gents have to use the supplied loos rather than a bush. There were enough portaloos, but only just. You can't have too many. 2)Parts of the course were along the pavements of busy roads, so care is needed in places. But no complaints from me, and I'll be back next year.Date of review: April 5, 2009
In short: In danger of becoming a victim of its own successIn full: The organizers are clearly bigging this one up to rival the GNR in the numbers game. That's fine, but the start venue was creaking at the seams today. I gave up on the baggage queue and stowed my gear on my bike instead. With some 15,000 runners the course was crowded throughout, although apart from the baggage hall it all went smoothly enough and is clearly a big undertaking so credit to the organizers. But it's expensive, and I wouldn't turn out if I didn't live in Reading. In short: great for the first timers, charity and do-a-challenge runners, less so for the more experienced and club runners. But a nice day out all the same.Date of review: March 29, 2009
In short: What a great day out!In full: First running of this event, and it was top notch. Start venue excellent, mixed-terrain and superbly scenic course, cheeriest marshals I've seen for a long time, African musicians at the pub partway round, no queues or delays, supervised baggage stow (which matters to a non-motorist with no car to leave gear in), medal and quality T-shirt. Nothing to find fault with, tbh. The sun was shining and it was a lovely day, but even if it had pelting with rain it would still have been a great race. An exemplary event. I'll be back!Date of review: March 22, 2009
In short: A great eventIn full: Flattish course, good mix of scenery, prompt start, good start and finish venue, supervised baggage ... a very well organized race. The weather was great and the locals were out in force. Plenty of water stations. Loads of marshals and rozzers attending the route too. Really good event, must do again.Date of review: March 15, 2009
In short: A fine village green 10KIn full: One of the local perennial favourites for me. Always well organized (they arranged particularly good weather this year, which was good because parts of the course are a bit exposed. Good value, good facilities, seems like most of the village turns out to take part or cheer us on, and a nice up and down course that has some long flat bits to make up for the hills. Lovely scenery along by the river, Red Kites circling overhead to pick off the stragglers ... None of yer chip timing malarkey, a good simple old-fashioned race with no frills. I'll be back again next year.Date of review: March 1, 2009

After initially being forced to decline a leading role in Iron Man 3 because of other commitments — primarily the as-yet-untitled "hunt for Osama bin Laden" movie from Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) — it appears as if Jessica Chastain's (The Help) schedule has cleared up enough that she is once again in talks with Marvel Studios for the part. Other actresses who have read for the role of a "sexy scientist every bit as smart" as Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark include Isla Fisher, Diane Kruger, and Gemma Arterton. However, Deadline seems to indicate that the part is Chastain's for the taking.
Though the name of the character Chastain is in talks to play has not been revealed, the recent news that Guy Pearce is in final talks to play geneticist Aldrich Killian makes it seem likely that the "sexy scientist" is Maya Hansen, a central character in the "Extremis" storyline written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Adi Granov that Marvel mined for both Iron Man and Iron Man 2. A co-worker of Killian's at Futurepharm Corporation and a former lover of Stark's, Hansen is the one who calls in Iron Man when Killian commits suicide after releasing the extremely powerful and dangerous Extremis military nanotechnology serum to a local militia. It's also interesting to note that Maya Hansen and Extremis factor into an Iron Man story arc involving the Mandarin, the power ring-wielding villain that comic book movie fans have long been predicting will be the "big bad" in Iron Man 3.

I wanted to know if there was a way (that worked!) to both Install and Run Windows XP Pro from a USB 2.0 connected Hard Drive. My system does allow to boot from external usb hard drive, but when I tried to install Windows XP to the USB HDD, it didn't allow me to.
My ultimate goal is to be able to move only the hard drives (w/ windows installed) to other identical systems, in times of maintenance, etc.

"ICW Rose Buddies of Elizabeth City" Elizabeth City by grandmaR
Elizabeth City Travel Guide: 32 reviews and 58 photos
Elizabeth City is the home of the Rose Buddies. The Rose Buddies welcome boats who have come south through the Dismal Swamp Canal or going north from Albemarle Sound, and if there are at least 4-5 boats, they have a little wine and cheese party for them about 5 pm. The goal of these little parties is for the cruisers (so often isolated on their own boats) to get to know one another.
Looking back at the free docks. There is no electricity, although you can get water if you have a long enough hose. They let us use the bathroom in the nearby mall. If you want to go to the grocery store on the road out of town, someone will usually give you a ride.
- Pros:Rose Buddys, Free Docks and friendly people
- Cons:Hard to get there by boat if the Dismal Swamp is closed
- In a nutshell:Hospitable City

OSU Wine Forum a boon for students, guests
STILLWATER — When the 2013 Wine Forum opens Friday on the Oklahoma State University campus, it will be the culmination of two years of planning by clinical professors and execution by Hospitality and Restaurant Administration students.
And if you don't already have your tickets, you're too late.
Congratulations to the school and its students for selling out the weekend-long, biennial event in its third incarnation.
It's an incredible accomplishment, but there is still work to be done. If you're one of the lucky ones who garnered entry to the Wine Forum and its many-splendored events, tastings and seminars, you'll doubtlessly bear witness to ruddy-cheeked youths scampering to and fro on behalf of the quality of your experience.
And in so doing, their education will be enriched by the building blocks only on-the-job training can supply.
"There's only so much you can teach in the classroom," said clinical professor Steve Ruby. "The Wine Forum allows us to offer our students experiential education more valuable than any lecture."
The theme for the event is Of Wine, Women and the West. The honorary chair is Beth Nickel, proprietor of Napa Valley wineries Far Niente, Dolce, Nicken & Nickel and EnRoute in the Russian River Valley. The guest celebrity chef is author, blogger and television personality Ree Drummond, better known as the Pioneer Woman.
Starting at 6 p.m. Friday, OSU's hospitality and restaurant administration students will execute silent auctions, a gala dinner, more than a dozen seminars and a grand tasting. Best of luck to the students.
If you didn't have a chance to buy tickets to this year's event, start making plans for the 2015 event.
Speaking of opportunities for those considering a career in the culinary arts, the James Beard Foundation is accepting applications for its 2013 scholarship program, with more than $484,000 in awards available.
Established in 1991, the James Beard Foundation Scholarship Program assists aspiring and established culinary professionals who plan to further their education at a licensed or accredited culinary school.
The James Beard Foundation also offers grants for current working culinary professionals to expand their culinary experiences.
The program is administered by the Scholarship Management Services division of Scholarship America. Application forms are available at sms.scholarshipamerica.org/jamesbeard. The submission period began April 1. All scholarship application materials, including transcript, must be postmarked by May 15. Professional grant applications must be postmarked by June 15. Scholarship winners will be notified in August.
Cooking demos added
The Arts Council of Oklahoma City's Festival of the Arts has built a reputation as one of the city's top food events for its diverse and delicious offerings. But to show the council isn't sitting idly by, this year's festival April 23-28 will feature a Culinary Arts Demonstration Stage.
Created by event co-chairs Linda Whittington and Daniel Adams, the Culinary Arts Demonstration Stage will provide an interactive culinary experience with free demonstrations from some of Oklahoma City's most talented and popular chefs.
Festivalgoers will be able to further appreciate the art of cooking and the art of tasting by witnessing some of the best local Italian, Mediterranean, Brazilian and French restaurants whip up incredible dishes. From sushi to steak to sugary treats, the Culinary Arts Demonstration Stage will offer plenty of samples and tricks.
The new stage will also feature the first OKC Festival Cook-Off at 11 a.m. April 27 between chefs Tabb Singleton, executive sous chef at Emeril Lagasse's NOLA Restaurant in the Crescent City and winner of Food Network's "Chopped," and Joseph Royer, owner of Saturn Grill and two-time champion of the National Taste of Elegance competition hosted by the National Board of Pork. These two will prepare savory pork dishes on stage to become the ultimate pork victor of Oklahoma.
Culinary arts demonstrations will last 45 minutes and take place between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Among those participating will be yours truly for a demonstration of carne guisada at 1 p.m. April 26. For a complete list of participating chefs and restaurants, go online to artscouncilokc.com.
As usual, the festival will feature 31 food vendors at International Food Row. We'll see you there.

Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, episode 181: Upfronts, 'Community,' 'How I Met Your Mother' & 'Mad Men'
Dan and Alan break down the first batch of fall schedules
It's Upfront Week here at the Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, which means the first of what should be two installments. In this one, we discuss NBC, FOX and ABC, then get into the "Community" and "How I Met Your Mother" finales before breaking down the latest "Mad Men." Speaking of which, here is the promised photo of a young Cloris Leachman that we discussed during the "Mad Men" segment:
The lineup:
NBC, FOX and ABC Upfronts (00:03:10 - 00:51:30)
"Community" finale (00:51:45 - 01:00:40)
"How I Met Your Mother" finale (01:00:45 - 01:16:20)
"Mad Men" (01:16:55 - 01:44:20)
In theory, we'll be back with another one on Friday to talk about CBS, the CW, and some more finales (including "New Girl" and "The Office").
As always, you can subscribe to The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast over at the iTunes Store, where you can also rate us and comment on us. Or you can always follow our RSS Feed, download the MP3 file or stream it on Dan's blog.

Pat Robertson gets mentioned here every now and then. And a recent poll by Beliefnet confirmed a sentiment I expressed in November when Rudy Giuliani garnered the endorsement of Pat Robertson: "Who cares?"
Only about 19.6 percent of evangelicals. That's the percentage that have a favorable impression of Robertson. That's the lowest popularity of the eight Christian leaders survey subjects were asked about. (Billy Graham led the list with 87.3 percent favorable reviews.)

The Szegő kernel as a singular integral kernel on a family of weakly pseudoconvex domains
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: The Szegö kernels on the weakly pseudoconvex domains , , have been computed by Greiner and Stein. After constructing a global, nonisotropic pseudometric suitable for Calderón-Zygmund singular integral theory on the boundaries of the domains, we study principal value operators associated to these Szegö kernels. We prove that the principal value operators are bounded on for , and that they preserve certain nonisotropic Lipschitz classes. We then derive a Plemelj formula that relates the principal value operators to the Szegö projections. From this formula we deduce that the Szegö projections are also bounded on , for , and that they preserve the same nonisotropic Lipschitz classes.

U.S. Broadcom, which already in its catalog chip combining WiFi, Bluetooth and FM radio, announced this week the introduction of a new model, dubbed BCM4329, which combines again these three technologies while inaugurating taking Load of the future 802.11n standard. Target for Broadcom: offer manufacturers of mobile phones and other portable chip in a while allowing them the development of terminals connected easily.
The BCM4329 opens therefore support the 802.11n WiFi. If Broadcom ensures that this chip is capable of operating dual band, or in two frequency ranges (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), the manufacturer has voluntarily chosen not to implement the principle of MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out ), Which is one of the cornerstones of the 802.11n WiFi. This technology is to use multiple antennas, each providing receive any flow data, showing indeed too greedy energy. In fact, the BCM4329 should not propose, WiFi speeds comparable to those we obtained with an 802.11n router.
On the side of Bluetooth, Broadcom provides support for the standard 2.1 + EDR, while in terms of FM, the BCM4329 shall receive, but also for data transmission. Engraved in 65 nanometers, the chip will be offered to manufacturers and assemblers at the beginning of 2009.
