Cameron Chambers, the winner, reports on the 2012 24 hour Championships
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Last weekend had a lot of action going on in Colorado, in addition to 2 CX races and the last road race in Colorado, we also had the USA 24 hour MTB Championships in Colorado Springs. Lots of Coloradans did well, and below the men's winner, Cameron Chambers talks about the race and his victory.
From Pikes Peak Sports
24 hour race strategy is pretty straight forward from my standpoint. You try and break all of your competitors somewhere in the 1st 6 hours and then you try and hang on and finish the ride out. I often reference the late Mike Janelle when I talk about 24 hour racing. Mike is a hero of mine and his memory is always an inspiration to live life to the fullest, by that Mike would mean "Race your heart out." He told me once that no matter what speed you start the race at you are going to be tired 6 hours in and even more tired 12 hours in, so you might as well go hard from the start line because that is your only chance to do damage.

Scientists report new insights into the mechanism by which repeated exposure to cocaine induces addiction. The studies in mice demonstrate that cocaine downregulates the active form of Rac1, a small GTPase known to control actin remodelling, and that this leads to enhanced actin turnover, and increases the density of immature dendritic spines on nucleus accumbens (NAc) neurons in the brain's key reward center.
The researchers, led by a team at Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Fishberg Department of Neuroscience and Friedman Brain Institute, showed in mice that overexpression of a dominant negative mutant of Rac1 or local knockout of the native gene was enough to increase the density of immature dendritic spines on the NAc neurons, without cocaine administration. Encouragingly, transiently increasing levels of Rac1 blocked the addiction-causing effects of repeated cocaine use and the accompanying neural changes.
Reporting their findings in Nature Neuroscience, Eric J. Nestler and colleagues suggest their results could help in the design of new treatments for cocaine addiction. Their paper is titled "Rac1 is essential in cocaine-induced structural plasticity of nucleus accumbens neurons."
"The research gives us new information on how cocaine affects the brain's reward center and how it could potentially be repaired," Dr. Nestler says. "This is the first case in the brain in vivo where it's been possible to control the activity of a protein, inside nerve cells in real time. Our findings reveal new pathways and targets."

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Braun05 WELL MADE CHAIR This chair is beautiful, well made and very comfortable. Excellent price too! Takes quite some time to put together but very sturdy. Don't hesitate to buy. December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by iluvaboxer Excellent Bargain! When I received the box for my chairs, I was a little skeptical because it had been damaged during shipping. When I opened it, happily, all was intact. It took me less than an hour to put both chairs together. They are beautiful!! My whole family loves them. I have had 2 sets of bar chairs before and before you know it, they are all rickety from the kids leaning back in them. These chairs are very solid and sturdy. They are really beautiful and definitly recommend. Nothing negative to say at all! August 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kenzie123 Fall apart quickly- do not recommend I love World Market but I'm really disappointed with these stools. I bought four of them to accompany the Rogers Pub Table. They were pretty easy to assemble but after owning them for only 2 months or so, three of the four chairs were broken in various places, including the bar by the feet and the actual back of the chair completely breaking off. I live with two other women in our midtwenties and we don't even sit at the table that often. I tried repairing with wood glue but it didn't hold for long. I'll probably have to buy completely new stools now. Do not recommend- very poor quality. June 27, 2014

Thanks For The Memories
During the early goings of September of the 2009 Twins baseball season, it looked as if game number 162 (the contest that typically ends the MLB season unless you happen to play in the Midwest) would be a great remembrance of all the baseball that the Metrodome had produced before giving way to Target Field next season. A post-game ceremony down on the field after that game was both parts touching and entertaining, but there was just one problem…the old Dome wasn't done; it would go on to host two more games!
Thus, it never really felt as if the Metrodome got that proper sense of ending as maybe it should have…that moment when you just look around and soak it all in. Obviously, with the New York Yankees celebrating, it wasn't the time for that feeling. That is why I would now like to relive my favorite moments of being at the Dome. Perhaps you will remember some of these as well:
-1990: My first memory of the Dome recalls seeing Kirby Puckett being given the Silver Slugger award for winning the batting title the previous year. While going through the turnstiles that day, I got a black bat "signed" by Puck that I believe I still have stashed away to this day.
-1991: Though most fans may only remember the '91 seaons for Puckett's Game Six and Black Jack's Game Seven, there was also quite a heated race (at least for awhile) with the Oakland A's. Back then, when both teams were part of the AL West division, the A's were the powerhouse team of the circuit. They came into a summer series at the Dome and jumped way ahead of the Twins in every game thanks to the power of guys like Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, and Dave Henderson (looking back, can you imagine all the steroids coursing through those veins?). However, the Twins scrapped back in every game and won them all. I was lucky enough to be at the one that everyone remembers, where the Twins rallied against Dennis Eckersley (the Mariano Rivera of his day) on a triple from Chili Davis that RF Canseco played like a pin-ball down in the corner. As Jose was bouncing around, a fan overhanging right field chucked an unravelling roll of toilet paper down onto the field, only adding to the mayhem!
-1996-2000: I really began following the Twins with a passion in '96, but from then until '00 the Twins were perennial cellar-dwellers. Not to be deterred, though, my Dad and I would still get down to the Dome a few times each year to watch guys like Bob Tewksbury, Pat Mahomes, Brent Gates, Rich Becker, and Scott Stahoviak (among others) battle to not lose 100 games. I didn't seem to care about the futility, I guess, as I still root-root-rooted for the home team with all I had. The attendance was so poor during those years that one could (and we often did) guy a cheap ticket and move right up behind the infield. Believe it or not, there were no users to stop people!
A more specific game from that time period involves a field trip with my sixth grade class. My exact recollection of the event is understandably a bit hazy, but the Twins were facing Pedro Martinez and the Red Sox. The game went into extra innings, the Twins loaded the bases with no outs, but then two guys (one of which I'm positive was Terry Steinbach) struck out. The next batter then singled to win the game (I want to say it was Pat Meares, but I could be wrong).
-2002: Fifteen innings of baseball against the Atlanta Braves. Bobby Cox got tossed in the first inning, the Twins roughed up Greg Maddux, and Christian Guzman's double off the baggy scored Tom Prince (pictured above) to win it. Once you do the fourteenth-inning stretch, you never forget it!
-2002: With the Twins already having locked up the division title, they hosted the beaten White Sox to close out the season. I was at the final two games, both won by dramatic, late-inning home runs from Bobby Kielty.
-2008: With the Twins needing to sweep the White Sox in the final homestand to stay in the playoff race, they do just that. I was at all three thrillers, but of course momst remember the final contest when the Twins fell behind early but clawed back into it thanks to a dramatic triple from Denard Span. A walk-off hit from Alexi Casilla sealed it in extra innings.
So, those are my fondest, brightest memories of the Metrodome. Though many malign it as a dump and unfit for the National Pastime, it is the only home turf I have ever seen the Twins play on, and no one can take that from me. Though Target Field may prove to be a rousing success (or a miserable failure, whatever the case may be), it will always be the Dome that holds my childhood baseball nostalgia.

The Yellow Jackets left last Friday for their longest trip of the season Mayville, North Dakota. "We knew going into this game how big it is to get that first conference win. Last year we lost to Minot State in the first conference game and it was hard to bounce back from" said Head Coach John Scott.
The Yellow Jackets got off to a fast start taking a 13-0 first quarter lead. They would continue their attack increasing their lead to 34-0. Mayville State would eventually score on a safety making the halftime score 34-2. "It was nice to get off to a fast start like we did Saturday being on the road" added Coach Scott.
In the second half the Jackets kept the pressure on the Comets increasing their lead and winning the game 48-2. The Yellow Jackets were led on the ground by sophomore running back Tanner Ehrlich who had 160 yards and two touchdowns. Jamie January added to the passing game by catching seven passes for 171 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively the Jackets held the Comets to only 176 total yards on the afternoon.
The 3-1 Yellow Jackets are home this weekend as they face Dakota State University in the 5th Annual Missouri River Shootout. This Saturday will also be Parents Weekend. Game time is at 1 PM MST in Lyle Hare Stadium.

WEEI has decided to part ways with Glenn Ordway, co-host of "The Big Show." Ordway made the announcement on-air Wednesday, Feb. 13 that his last day will be this Friday, Feb. 15. Michael Holley will serve as host of "The Big Show" for the foreseeable future and WEEI expects to make an announcement in the coming days about Michael's new co-host.
"Glenn and I have been together since day one. He is an icon in this business and he helped build WEEI into arguably the most successful sports station in history," said Jason Wolfe, VP of programming and operations for Entercom Boston. "I am so thankful to have been able to work alongside Glenn for the past 20-plus years and I hope that all Boston sports fans realize how important his contributions have been to this station, to the market and to this industry. He's a true professional and that was clearer than ever in his comments today."

Angry Lou is angry at Red Sox manager John Farrell, who is misusing his roster and didn't give Xander Bogaerts a night off last night, even though they made a roster move for a back-up shortstop.
Angry Lou is still rolling, and this time he focuses his anger at Dave Dombrowski for not getting a left fielder during the off season and for general bad roster construction.

I love me a beauty product, and I'm not ashamed to say so. When people talk about going to their happy place—you know, in times of stress or strain—it's a no-brainer for me: Sephora.
Oh yes, the make up and skin care emporium is a little slice of heaven I say, and fortunately there's one located right near my abode. Everyone who works there is so nice, it always smells good…and it is one, giant girly buffet.
As you can imagine, I go often, and lately I cannot believe the proliferation of argan oil-infused offerings. Naturally I had to give it a try and I'm IN, I tell you, I'm IN. It is so moisturizing and it goes on light as a feather. I've tried it in body lotions and hair creams, and I even tried a few oily drops on my face, before bed, after cleansing. My advice? Try it, you might just fall in love.
Go! Buy! Be chic!

C-123 medium
assault transports used for spraying Agent Orange during the Vietnam War remained
contaminated with TCDD (dioxin) until their destruction as toxic waste in 2010. Veterans
(aircrew, maintenance and aerial port) assigned to these aircraft need military
herbicide exposure medical care and disability benefits from the Veterans Administration.
VA denies, erroneously claiming TCDD hasn't actually been shown to cause harm to humans, TCDD on the aircraft could not have exposed crews via ingestion, inhalation or dermal routes to "enough to cause long-term harm" and TCDD on the warplanes was "dried dioxin." Numerous federal, state and independent medical and scientific agencies and societies, including NIH, CDC, US Public Health Service, EPA, challenge VA. Only the VA disputes C-123 veterans' Agent Orange exposure claims. Veterans need our fellow citizens' support!
The C-123 Veterans Association
1233 Town Center Drive, Fort Collins CO 80524
971 241-9322 www.c123agentorange.com
19 July 2014
To: Our Fellow Citizens
Subject: C-123 Aircrew Agent Orange Exposure & VA Claims
Requested Assistance: Challenge Department of Veterans Affairs to obey law!
Summary: USAF C-123 veterans flew the C-123 transport aircraft following use in Vietnam spraying Agent Orange. The contamination became identified in 1994 but was not shared with veterans for decades. Veterans became aware of the tests confirming C-123 contamination in May 2011 and sought VA service connection. VA opposes on the basis of "secondary exposure" and creating concept of "dry dioxin" to suggest not "enough" exposure to warrant benefits. Veterans oppose with a large amount of evidence from other federal agencies, universities, physicians and scientists.
Senator Burr and his staff, particularly Mr. Brooks Tucker, are very familiar with our two-year struggle with this issue. Senator Merkley (Mr. Adrian Snead,) Senator Bennet (Ms. Margot Beausey) and Congresswoman Bonamici (Ms. Carlie Katz) are also firmly involved in our support.
of personnel: estimate 1500-2500 aircrew, aerial port and maintenance from
Westover AFB MA, Pittsburgh Air Reserve Station PA and Rickenbacker Air Reserve
Station OH. Precise numbers unavailable, mostly traditional Reservists.
2. Background: After Vietnam C-123s returned to US. Spray apparatus was removed and airplanes then flew traditional cargo and aeromedical missions until 1982 retirement. 42% of fleet sprayed AO.
3. USAF records released in 2011 proved the C-123s had remained contaminated by military herbicides after Vietnam. AF toxicologists first officially confirmed contamination by military herbicide residue in 1979 following complaints from our maintenance personnel. The problem was better revealed with far more extensive official testing in 1994 in which toxicologists confirmed our airplanes were "heavily contaminated" and "a danger to public health." The contamination was not theoretical, but confirmed many times by Air Force military and civilian toxicologists, and by contract laboratories, and also described in sworn testimony by the 1994 testing experts in federal court. In 2010, the C-123s, still judged too contaminated for landfill, were all destroyed as toxic waste, other than a few scattered in aviation museums.
Agencies providing findings confirming C-123 veterans' exposure include Columbia
University, University of Texas Medical School, many others. Contamination was NOT
hypothetical, secondary, nor scientifically questioned by any expert, agency,
or university…only
Yale Law School conducted an extensive research project and concluded the C-123 veterans are fully entitled to presumptive service connection for Agent Orange exposure. The Journal of Environmental Research published "Post-Vietnam Military Herbicide Exposures by UC-123 Agent Orange Spray Aircraft" establishing the significant exposure to TCDD experienced by C-123 crews and maintenance personnel.
5. In 1996, the USAF Office of Environmental Law directed all contamination information "be kept in official channels only." Contaminated aircraft had accidentally been sold to Walt Disney Films and to foreign governments and AO toxicity became potentially embarrassing. USAF directed HAZMAT quarantine of remaining C-123s in a special fenced, restricted area of Davis-Monthan AFB until 2010 destruction of all airplanes as toxic waste. This secrecy decision cost veterans decades of lost time addressing their exposures.
6. Affected veterans eventually began to approach the Department of Veterans Affairs claiming exposure to military herbicides and were immediately advised that no exposure was possible. We have been assured by the VA that no exposure occurred during the full decade we flew the C-123, with hundreds of hours aloft, hundreds of hours on the ground, hours spent cleaning, scraping, grinding, repairing, sleeping aboard during tactical deployments, trying to tolerate stench inside the airplanes and also to fly our assigned missions throughout the Western Hemisphere and Europe. On 1 June 2011 Headquarters, Air Force Reserve Command confirmed "The C-123 aircraft in the 731st TAS fleet had been used to disperse chemical defoliants over Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War."
7. VA advanced an illogical position labeled "unscientific" by Dr. Jeanne Stellman and others. VA says that the dermal barrier is a near-perfect barrier preventing "dry dioxin transfer." We learned from IOM and other reports that much occupational exposure to dioxin is via the dermal route. The VA's slant has been described as "unscientific" by other toxicologists, ten of whom joined with five physicians in forwarding their challenge to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on 29 November 2012. Expert scientists and physicians who concluded our C-123 crews were exposed and need dioxin exposure care.
8. Dr. Tom Sinks, Deputy Director of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, evaluated our situation and stated, "I believe aircrews operating in this, and similar, environments were exposed to TCDD." Drs. Schecter and Stellman differ only in the degree of exposure our crews experienced, with Stellman saying it was more than Vietnam ground soldiers and Schecter saying exposure was about the same as the troops. Subsequently, Dr. Sinks' finding was affirmed by Dr. Christopher Portier, Director ATSDR and then by Rear Admiral R. Ikeda, Acting Director.
9. Dr. Linda Birnbaum, Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and also Director of the NIH National Toxicology Program, determined "exposure is assumed based on wipe-tests demonstrating high dioxin concentrations in the C-123K's." VA ignores other agencies resulting in the juxtaposition with one agency (VA) making a ruling that veterans' exposure was "unlikely" and others agencies (CDC, NIH, EPA) with specific authority for determining that C-123 veterans were exposed.
10. Legal
basis: VA promulgated its herbicide
presumption in 2001 and the issue of herbicide exposure outside Vietnam was addressed. 66
Fed. Reg. 23166 (May 8, 2001). VA explained for non-Vietnam veterans exposed
to an herbicide agent defined in 38 C.F.R. 3.307(a)(6) during active military service and with diseases on the list
of presumptive service connection (which includes diabetes mellitus type II and
ischemic heart disease), VA will presume that the diseases are due to the
exposure. 66 Fed. Reg. 23166; 38 C.F.R. 3.309(e)." While required to adhere to the
1991 law as well as C.F.R.s, the VA
doesn't and disregards numerous disinterested proofs of C-123 veterans'
herbicide exposure. Rivera v. Shinseki
requires VA to "sympathetically" weigh veterans' evidence, but in LtCol
Bailey's case, every effort was made to prevent any merit being granted
his large body of compelling and supporting evidence.
Unable to dispute the contamination, VA has oped to "explain" how the contamination could not have exposed the veterans. Parsing the word "exposure" has included the VA even redefining it but adding the requirement of bioavailability for exposure to have occurred. Scientists explain to the C-123 veterans that is simply wrong - "putting the cart before the horse" is a perfect analogy. VA's Office of General Counsel has announced VA's ability to redefine "exposure" for VA's own purposes: In this case, that means redefining exposure to prevent exposure claims.
Thus far, all C-123 veterans' claims are denied in regional offices but have eventually been reversed and granted upon appeal to Board of Veterans Appeals, but such decisions carry no precedent and can take five years to be heard. Most C-123 veterans are too old, too ill to waste five more years on top of the two years or more needed for the basic claim to be heard and denied for submission to the BVA for correction.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the fifth busiest airport in the world and second busiest in the United States, offering 692 daily flights to 85 domestic cities and 928 weekly nonstop flights to 67 cities in 34 countries on 59 passenger air carriers.
In 2014, LAX served nearly 70.7 million passengers, processed more than two million tons of air cargo valued at over $96.3 billion, and handled 636,706 aircraft operations (landings and takeoffs).
LAX is part of a system of three Southern California airports – along with LA/Ontario International and Van Nuys general aviation – that are owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports, a proprietary department of the City of Los Angeles that receives no funding from the City's general fund.
A multi-billion dollar capital improvement program is underway at LAX, generating nearly 40,000 local jobs. The program's centerpiece is the New Tom Bradley International Terminal Project with new gates for latest-generation aircraft; new concourses and seating areas; new retail and food-and-beverage offerings reflecting Los Angeles' cuisine and culture; and expanded areas for more efficient passenger and checked-luggage security screening, and immigration and customs processing. There also are several major airfield and facility projects, including a replacement Central Utility Plant, new taxiways and taxi lanes, and multi-million-dollar renovations to other terminals undertaken by both LAWA and the airlines.
For more information about LAX, please visit www.lawa.aero/lax or follow on Twitter @flyLAXAirport, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LAInternationalAirport, and on YouTube at www.YouTube.com/laxairport1.
Brief History
Originally known as Mines Field, the LAX site began as a general aviation field in 1928. During World War II, it was used for military flights. Commercial airline service started in December 1946. The present terminal complex was constructed in 1961. In the early 1980s, LAX added domestic and international terminals and a second-level roadway.
Economic Impact
LAX is a dynamic airport that creates, attracts and supports economic activity throughout Southern California. An economic impact study in 2011 reported those operations at LAX generated 294,400 jobs in Los Angeles County with labor income of $13.6 billion and an economic output of more than $39.7 billion. This activity added $2.5 billion to local and state revenues.
LAX is the major international cargo airport serving Southern California – the world's 16th largest economy. It ranks 14th in the world and fifth in the U.S. in air cargo tonnage processed, and in 2014 processed more than 898.2 million tons of air cargo valued at more than $96.3 billion.
Central Terminal Area
The central complex features nine passenger terminals connected by a U-shaped, two-level roadway. Curbside baggage check-in is available on the Upper/Departures Level. Baggage claim and ground transportation are on the Lower/Arrivals Level. Restaurants, cocktail lounges, gift shops, newsstands, duty free shops for international flights, restrooms, public telephones, business centers, airline lounges, and other convenient services for the traveling public are located in the terminals.
Other amenities include a first-aid station in the New Tom Bradley International Terminal and Interactive Visitors Centers (kiosks) with passenger information and direct telephone connections to area hotels/motels, bus/limousine services, and car rental firms serving most Southland communities. Free LAX shuttle service is provided between all terminals and Economy Lot C.
The iconic Theme Building complex, topped by an observation deck, features a space-age design. The Observation Deck offers spectacular views and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
A deli on the ground level is open to the public from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. The deli is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Air Traffic Control
The 277-foot-tall air traffic control tower is uniquely designed to service LAX's four parallel runways. Federal Aviation Administration employees control the air space above LAX and ground controllers handle their duties for each of the four runways. Flight data and gate-hold positions are operated from the central position of the tower cab.
Coast Guard Facilities
The U.S. Coast Guard Air Station provides around–the-clock vigilance on search/rescue missions. Its personnel conduct maritime law enforcement on oil pollution in coastal waters. The station is located adjacent to the north runway complex.
Public Parking
Nearly 8,000 parking stalls are available in eight parking structures located opposite the roadways from the passenger terminals. In addition to the Central Terminal Area parking, LAX has a capacity of over 4,500 parking stalls available in Economy Parking Lot C.
Free shuttle bus service to airline terminals is provided from Lot C, located one-half mile northeast of the airport. Adjacent to Lot C is the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Bus Center, which connects public bus systems with the courtesy LAX shuttle bus service to/from the terminals provided by the airport.
Public Transportation
Among the modes of transportation available at LAX are: airport buses, door-to-door shuttle vans, local buses, light rail, rental cars, taxicabs, and limousines. A free, frequent shuttle bus connects LAX with Metro's Green Line Light Rail, and free shuttle buses transport passengers between airline terminals.
The LAX FlyAway® bus service provides frequent, daily low-cost transportation between LAX and Hollywood, Santa Monica, Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, Van Nuys, and Westwood/UCLA.
Services for Travelers with Disabilities and the Elderly
LAX provides many services to assist passengers or visitors with disabilities. There are extra-wide parking spaces in all parking facilities, ramp ways and elevators along the curbs, and extra-wide restroom stalls and Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDD) or speech-impaired installed in all airline terminals. LAX also provides a free shuttle van equipped with a lift for wheelchairs that operates between Economy Lot C and all airline terminals. A special assistance vehicle also is available to transport passengers with disabilities or functional needs between terminals and aircraft gates located on the airfield.
Cargo Facilities
LAX's cargo handling facilities include the 98-acre Century Cargo Complex, the 57.4-acre Imperial Complex, the Imperial Cargo Center, and a number of cargo facilities on the south side of the airport. Mercury Air Cargo opened its first facility in March 1998, and in April 2009 opened a 12,700-square-foot refrigeration facility. In 2011, Mercury opened a 16,000-square-foot refrigeration facility and perishables center, the largest of its kind among all U.S. West Coast airports.

For better or worse, it's money and marriage that go together like a horse and carriage. And we're not just talking about the institution of marriage -- we speak specifically of the ceremony itself, steeped as it is in money mores. Whether you're the one tying the knot or tossing the rice -- are you well-versed in the ways of wampum and weddings? Our quiz will reveal if you have a connubial clue.
It's the big hoo-ha, the centerpiece, as it were -- the grand kahuna of wedding-related costs for the vast majority of couples. We speak, of course, of:
The videographer, the artiste in residence who can make or your break your beautiful memories -- like his fee doesn't reflect he knows that all too well.
The flowers -- between table arrangements, corsages, boutonnieres ... oy, don't ask.
Food and booze -- unless you're going the cupcakes and Kool-Aid, or Ho Hos and no hooch, route.
Ah, the cake. Now, the cake is in a category by itself, being both food and entertainment: Nothing says loving like the bride smooshing the groom's big, fat face in it, as he attempts to nibble the lovingly proffered first slice -- and he returning the favor, to general hilarity. Being so important as both a comestible and a custom, the average wedding cake costs:
$1 per slice.
$2 per slice.
$50 for a two-layer cake; $75 for a three-layer.
Is it OK to give cash as a wedding gift?
More than OK, in many cases.
Not OK -- which doesn't stop clods from doing it nonetheless.
Is it OK for you to ask for money as a wedding gift -- especially if you're already up to your eyeballs in blenders and bowls?
Absolutely -- people will admire your candor and be relieved of the gift-choosing chore.
Sure -- as long as you confine your asking to nonbusiness associates.
If a bride lets it be known she's signed up with a store gift registry -- which lists, and of course stocks, the specific gifts said bride would like -- is it all right to buy her something else, either at that store or at another of your choosing?
Well, no. Not once she's announced she's registered -- that's the whole purpose of registering.
Why not?
How long does one have after one has attended the blessed event to send a gift -- well, to fine-point this more, how long before the bride and groom can, with some legitimacy, start bad-mouthing you?
There's no acceptable time frame afterward -- gifts are ''due'' prior to or at the reception.
One month.
One year.
The brand-new pristine white wedding gown or dress -- how far does that custom go back?
The early 17th century.
The mid-1800s.
To ancient Rome.
What's a money tree?
British slang for a ''good catch'' -- i.e., a man who's so rich, he supplies a never-ending source of money for the gold-digger�er, gal lucky enough to snag him.
A ''tree'' set up at wedding reception areas, the ''leaves'' of which are made up of guests' checks and other promissory notes.
A clever new gift item from the Ronco company, popularized on late-night infomercials.
Which one of the following is traditionally the financial obligation of the groom or groom's family?
Bride's bouquet.
His wedding ring.
An increasingly popular form of professional, the wedding consultant:
Is really a sensible option only for those planning major weddings -- and who have major bucks.
Is a prime example of how lazy and self-indulgent we've become as a society.
Can be a common-sense choice for many looking to tie the knot.

Cougar Legends 2013
|2013 Co-Hosts: Cindy Brunson and Ian Furness
June 7-8, 2013
"Honor the Past. Live the Present. Create the Future."
2013 Guest List
Washington State Athletics will once again partner with Sterling Bank to host the Third Annual Cougar Legends Weekend, June 7-8, at the Coeur d'Alene Resort and Golf Course, WSU Director of Athletics Bill Moos announced on April 29.
"Three years ago, I charged the Cougar Athletic Fund with creating a premier fundraising event for Cougar Athletics that lived within the three pillars that our department works in: Honor the Past, Live the Present, Create the Future," said Moos. "The Cougar Legends Weekend has become the premier fundraising event for Cougar Athletics and through the great work of my staff; I know this year's weekend will exceed expectations."
The event begins Friday (June 7) evening with a dinner and auction. During the auction each group will have the chance to bid on a Cougar Legend to be a part of its team for Saturday's golf tournament. "We have brought back some of the all-time greats in Cougar Athletics and I know that our fans have truly enjoyed this exclusive opportunity to rub elbows with those greats," said Moos.
Cougar football greats Drew Bledsoe, Jason Gesser, Mike Price and NBA star Klay Thompson are just a few of the legends attending.
Saturday begins with breakfast at the Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course, followed by the tournament, and ending with a dinner Saturday evening.
"We will utilize our different social media sites to release the Legends that will be in attendance so stay tuned. I can say though, that you will truly see the Mt. Rushmore of Cougar Athletics at The Legends," said Moos.
"WSU Athletics has organized an extraordinary event that is sure to be a memorable weekend," said Sterling Bank CEO Greg Seibly. "Sterling Bank is proud to once again be a part of this event, honoring our Cougar Legends and supporting WSU's current student athletes who will be our future Cougar Legends."
All proceeds will go toward student-athlete support at WSU. For more information on Cougar Legends Weekend and how you can be a part of the dinner or golf tournament, please contact Justin Felker at (509) 368-6789 or email@example.com.

A great lathering bar
I am a shower gel user, however, I recently purchased a bar of this soap and was pleasantly surprised at the lather. The lather was just as luxurious as my gels and, frankly, I feel that bar soap cleans better. This soap also has a fresh, clean smell. It doesn't get any better than this.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PATRIOT Awesome!!! This fits perfectly in my convection microwave. I use it mostly for frozen pizzas and it works great. July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dont4GetIt A pleasant surprise It does what it was touted to do. The rack is an added plus by providing an attractive resting place for a hot stone. So nice, instead of gifting it, we kept it ourselves. January 24, 2013

This is mostly revolving around the ideals of communism and the effects on our economies and world, applied to real life and the changes it would make to the world as we know it. Some countries have already adapted the system or at least claimed they have so there is material to base our predictions on, with every opinion please include some sort of known fact, instances of blunder for example, to give substance to your argument.
So what first sparked my interest was a few weeks ago I had sat down and read George Orwell's Animal Farm. To those who haven't read this book, the name is deceiving. This book is the equivalent of the Russian Revolution and events leading up to it, a clever counterpart placed into a farm situation, with animals and humans. It shows the downfall of communism on Russia and follows from the time of Karl Marx, the founder of Communism, all towards the end of the Trotsky-Stalin rivalry. For more info, refer to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_farm which lists the cultural references and the significance of the characters.
The main plot of the book begins with a corrupt farmer, Mr. Jones, representing Nicholas the II, constantly maltreating the animals and a heavy drinker. Following the leadership of Old Major the animals prepare and plot the rebellion to overthrow the power of Mr. Jones. This is much like Karl Marx, leading a small group which grew and taught them the ideal
Towards the end of the book, we see Joseph Stalins reign, the apparent equality for all, shattered as power corrupted what was intended by Marx to be a nation where no poverty or wealth dwelled.
Communism, a system idealizing for equality with all people. Its a nice thought, but in a money-driven society I find that it simply cannot function. Our lives are filled with the classes depending on wealth, limiting our resources and supplies. There is a fine line between wants and needs which is almost always fueled by our level of wealth or importance. To me it manifestly could not work with our race, mankind, whose sole purpose in life really is to make money. Since the beginning of our time that is how our economies functioned, back to the days of bartering. The main reason would be because of goods and services, there is no motivation without some sort of reward. It is in our blood to do something for something else in return. Perhaps, centuries ago, we could've avoided this but generation after generation, the use and importance of money has been battered into our minds and ingrained. You could argue that we were made to be greedy, selfish SOBs but I would think maybe, possibly those millenniums ago we couldve avoided the unjust economy we live in today. Obviously the past cant be changed and I would argue that there is no way out. 100 years from now it may only get worse, the gap between poor and rich widening. Communism just can't function in the world we live in today and it wont be getting any better in the future.
Anyway, the Discussion forum hasn't had a very engaging debate in a while now so this highly political and controvertial topic, I hope, should liven it up. I've missed a good debate.

Trevor Bauer - Arizona Diamondbacks Top Prospect
- Details

Trevor Bauer - Starting Pitcher
Scouting Trips:
|Watching Trevor Bauer warm-up before the game was worth the price of admission. The stretching routine featured upward of 20 bodily contortions. I turned my back for a second and when I flipped around he was doing hand stands. Bauer's concentration only waning when he would rock out for a second to a tune on his iPod. And this was all before the long-toss session - which was the most impressive display of throwing a baseball I've seen. Ever.
The baseball diamond couldn't contain Trevor Bauer's long toss session. At it's peak - Bauer was standing as close to the right field foul pole as possible - throwing to his catcher who was at the left field foul pole. Absolutely visually stunning. I've never seen a ball travel that far across the entire width of the outfield. Blew my mind. They had a cutoff man for the catcher throwing the ball back to Bauer.
|The pressure was on for the UCLA kid - as many T-Shirts in the stands bore the Bruin logo - which is an unusual sight in Northern California. Aside from friends and family, many important people were in the stands, including Bauer's agent, special assistant to the president and Dback great Luis Gonzalez, and Senior Vice President of Scouting & Player Development Jerry Dipoto. If Bauer was trying to show off in front of the Diamondback's brass before the game - it probably worked. I didn't know that the comparison to Tim Lincecum had been made already before I saw Bauer pitch. Lincecum is indeed the guy who he looks like when pitching to me. Being a Giants fan myself, I've seen Tim pitch dozens of times and while Bauer's stuff might not be as electric as when Lincecum first broke into the minors - Trevor may have more in his repertoire.
During the game - Bauer's four seam fastball was consistently hitting 93-95 MPH out of the windup - and all 4 scout radar guns were showing the same readings. Out of the stretch he didn't lose much life on the fastball - still in the 90-95 range. Bauer has a multitude of pitches and you can read about them here. "I throw a four-seam fastball, I throw two variations of the curveball, two variations of the slider, two variations of the change-up, a split fingered fastball and two variations of a reverse-slider, which is kind of a cross between a fastball and a screwball." Bauer said in the article. His off-speed pitches ranged from 77 (change-up or curve) to 89 MPH. He does have legit movement with all his pitches but had trouble with his control on this night.
Final line: 3 IP - 2 Hits 2 ER 3 Walks 6 SO. He was on a pitch count - as this was just his second minor league game. The 2 earned runs came off a 2-Run Home Run by Oakland A's 2008 9th Round Pick Mitch LeVier. Overall I was impressed by Bauer's work ethic and his ability to throw multiple pitches at an early age. Many believe that Bauer will begin the 2012 season in the Arizona rotation and could even be called up at the back half of 2011 for the pennant run - which could include a stint in the MLB bullpen.
Trading Cards: Trevor Bauer prospect cards could potentially show up in 2011 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks and if he does indeed make it to the Major Leagues by years end - Topps could squeeze him into late issued sets with the "Rookie Card Logo". Expect to see many more Bauer Topps trading cards at the start of 2012.

Full SubmissionNovember 1, 2011 Re: Input for Compilation Document for Rio+20 Zero Draft . To the Secretariat of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development: We call for Rio+20 to be unprecedented in terms of participation, cooperation, and leadership. Leadership must include representatives of government, business, and civil society. Participants must be included from across the globe and from all walks of life. The Rio+20 process must encourage communication and cooperation within these groups. Any renewal of political commitment to sustainable development cannot take place but within such a conference. Further, such principles will enhance progress in the institutional framework for sustainable development. We ask that the conference implement new web-based and social media facilities, which carry the potential to reinvigorate the UN and its work in the eyes of a new and crucial generation of global citizens. The conference must result in a document simplified in its language, and incorporate processes that are transparent and accessible. We demand that Rio+20 abide by its stated objectives, and thus result in new and ambitious agreements, goals, and pathways toward realizing them. The conference must honestly review and respond to the successes and failures of the current paradigm of global sustainable development work. We request that conference outcomes also address the full scope of sustainable development, including its ecological, social, and cultural aspects, Finance, the law, science and technology, economics, and natural resources. It can only be within such a comprehensive view that our goals can be achieved. We recognize that the green economy can be a means to achieving sustainability, progress, and environmental, economic, social well-being. Any development of such an economy must, however, keep those ends in mind, and not replace them with growth or development for its own sake. We suggest the development of global, open-source, accessible registry of sustainable actions. With such a tool, businesses, individuals, communities, and governments around the world can learn from each other and from the past, examine obstacles, and craft solutions to the pressing challenges of developing a sustainable human civilization. Rio+20 can refresh our outlook and our energy for working toward a sustainable global future, and rise to face the critical challenges of our time. We hope it realizes this potential, as it surely will by meeting these above expectations. Signed, MobilizeUS! The Human Impacts Institute

Hong Kong has established itself as the clear early smart city leader in the Asia/Pacific region.
Of the 10 cities in the study, Hong Kong scored in the Top 2 in five of the six categories, and earned top honors in Smart Mobility and Smart People.
Hong Kong is a dense and cosmopolitan city, which has attracted highly educated expatriates from around the globe. Hong Kong is home to eight government-funded universities, which are increasingly attracting foreign students and faculty. According to my research, it is the only city in Asia to average more than one transit ride per day per capita (more than 500 trips per capita per year).
Hong Kong is also actively leveraging information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve efficiency and citizen services. It was ranked 5th in the world and 2nd in the Asia/Pacific region in the Rutgers study of e-governance. The city has one of the first and most successful implementations of smart cards for residents (Octopus), allowing them to use one card to pay for public transit and parking, schools, and in some cases even access to smarter buildings.

Comments about THORLO Women's TRHXW Trail Hiking Crew Socks:
I bought these socks to wear with my hiking boots and my hiking shoes. They were buy one get one half off a great deal for specialty socks. I found that the men's socks were more roomy in the toe area than the women's socks. Also the men's socks being more roomy for my feet made my boots fit better for hiking.
