Get an alert when we add new styles of Shebeest! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Shebeest® was founded over ten years ago by Claudia Ried, a woman who knows her biking. She was riding her mountain bike through China, Russia and Pakistan for a trip that was 800 miles long when she realized that there should be a clothing company that just has women's bike clothes, including bike tops, cycling jerseys and bike shorts. So Claudia Reid created Shebeest, and she was the first to reach that goal.
Once Shebeest got its footing making Shebeest bike tops, Shebeest cycling jerseys and Shebeest bike shorts, they expanded to triathlon gear for women like Shebeest tri bras, Shebeest tri tops and Shebeest tri shorts. From their home base in Boulder, Colorado, Shebeest keeps making women's bike clothes that are stylish and able to hold up during the most intense performances.
Shebeest also rides the line between environmentally friendly and durable. Some of the Shebeest bike tops and Shebeest bike shorts are made with Stretch Bamboo™ which contains bamboo fibers that act as a natural antibacterial, a wonderful source of ventilation and are biodegradable. Also, select Shebeest cycling jerseys and Shebeest cycling shorts are made with Ecowic™ fabric which is composed of recycled yarn and it has UV protection. Technowool™ wicks moisture, provides insulation and is 70% made from recycled materials. They strive to keep improving their Shebeest bike tops and Shebeest tri tops while focusing on bettering the planet and the women who conquer it.

CSA Boxed Share 8.10.09
Ugh! It hardly feels like summer this year with all the rain we've been having. If it wasn't for my CSA box shares I think I'd pack up shop and move to California. Luckily, this week was a good haul. It cheered me up a bit.
As you can see, I got a whole box of tomatoes, plus cherry tomatoes, cabbage, corn, shallots, green bell peppers, garlic, potatoes, zucchini and yellow squash. After I split it with my buddy, I took home half the tomatoes, some potatoes, the squash, a few shallots and the garlic. Sweet!

It was a bitter cold Thursday afternoon in downtown Henrico. Sunlight peeked through the darkened windows in Beamer's studio apartment, leaving a strange yellow glow. From around the blinds, cardboard, and old bedsheets he'd hung to block as many rays as possible a few still managed to scatter their way across the room. It reflected off a sea of bottles, tissues, paper plates, and empty energy drink cans shuffled into clumps. The kitchenette by the door was filthy with months upon months of failed meals staining its stove and counters. A little bathroom to the side was almost completely dark, but what little light managed to get in revealed the floor to be covered in hair and grunge. Silhouettes of the piles of old clothing, pizza boxes, and heaps of junk rose around a twin mattress on the floor like a foreign landscape. On the old mattress lay the scrawny hyena himself, plinking away on his laptop. Squinting at the screen and huddling under the covers, he perused his Youtube subscriptions for a while before deciding it was time to get up.
Beamer peeled back the thin sheet and blanket that kept the cold out and gradually uncurled from the mattress, yawning, stretching, shivering, and scratching himself all over at the same time. His flannel pajama pants clung to his leg fur with static, shocking him in the dry air. He shook his legs a bit and shuffled towards the bathroom, taking a moment to stare at himself in the mirror in the darkness before flicking the switch. Momentarily blinded, he squinted back at the mirror, the fan humming loudly above. Shivering arms wrapped around his body, scratching each other earnestly while he stared himself down. His previous night was written all over his face. Beamer scratched at his muzzle a bit, flaking off some of the residual throw-up that was stuck to it. He let out a heavy sigh, resigned himself to the fact he was out of bed for the day, and turned on the shower.
He lifted the toilet seat while he waited for the water to heat up. It hurt to piss, a slight burn through his manhood, but he relieved himself nonetheless. With a low growl he finished, flushed, and stepped into the steaming shower, letting himself acclimate to the warmth. The hard stream from the showerhead blasted away the crud from his face and dug into his skin like a glorious heated massage. Morning showers were his favorite part of the day, and Beamer spent the better part of an hour just standing in the soothing water. His cramps and pains seemed to melt away as his fingers pruned. Gradually though they worsened, and soon he could feel the familiar throbbing in his head and stiffness in the base of his skull, like someone was grabbing him by the neck with a pair of needle-nose pliers. His back became sorer as his already tired legs started to feel like planks of wood.
Beamer turned the water off, stretching his neck as he toweled off. He pulled on the boxers and t-shirt he'd worn to bed, gave his mohawk another fluffing with the towel, and washed his hands at the sink. The mirror was almost completely fogged in spite of the obnoxious bathroom fan. This didn't bother him though, as he unscrewed the caps to his contact lens case. Carefully rinsing the lenses in solution he put them in; monthly lenses that were months beyond their expiration. They were better than nothing though, he was blind as a bat without them. Finally able to see, Beamer walked back into the living room and threw on a pair of jeans off the floor, the belt still in the loops. Scrounging around for a pair of socks that would pass the sniff-test, he found a matching pair under the counter by the kitchenette. Feet clad in cotton he wrestled on a worn pair of leather combat boots and threw on a black, stained hoodie. Grabbing his wallet and keys Beamer walked out the door.
The cold hung in the air, there was almost no breeze at all. Every movement caused the chill to pierce his thin fur and the sweatshirt did little to keep it out. He walked down the rickety wooden staircase that lead up to his second-floor apartment and hit the pavement in the direction of the nearest gas station. Along the way he reached into his pocket for a lighter and a half-full box of cigarettes. Smoking as he walked, Beamer tucked his hood over his ears. With every stride the denim in his pants touched his leg with that chilly, wet feeling, like they were saturated with the February air.
By the time he was rounding the corner to the gas station his cigarette was almost gone. Taking one last drag, he pushed the butt into the garbage can by the door. The little convenience store was pretty busy this late in the afternoon; Beamer pressed his way between a couple people to the cooler rack. Grabbing an energy drink, a bottle of water, and a protein bar off the shelf, he shifted to the back of the checkout line. Patron after patron had their lottery tickets rung up, a couple paid for their gas at the dilapidated pumps with small denominations. Beamer fidgeted in line, his body pains worsened by the cold outside. Every moment of waiting they seemed to get a little worse. Finally he got to the counter, setting his purchases down and eyeing the cigarettes behind the counter.
Anything else? asked the clerk.
He grabbed his wallet and checked the contents with a scowl, he was out of cash. Yeah, he said reluctantly, give me a pack of reds.
Beamer handed over his license and credit card. The clerk ran them both and handed them back, Im sorry, the card was declined.
Shit whats the total?
Ten sixteen, the clerk replied.
Looking at his purchases, he grabbed the protein bar and put it back on the shelf. He asked the clerk to take it off, handing the card across the counter again. The clerk swiped it and a receipt popped up for him to sign. He did so, grabbed his drinks and cigarettes, and headed home.
By the time he got back to the apartment he was already half through his breakfast of sugar and caffeine. He unlocked the door, walked in, and threw the fresh pack on the counter of his little kitchen. It was then he noticed his cell phone sitting there, flashing a new message:
hey r u free I want 2 party tonit
It was Angela, one of his regular buyers. She was a college girl from the art school downtown. He texted her back, Yeah meet u around 10?
He stuffed the phone in his pocket and started nursing his drink again, turning his attention back to the laptop on his bed. Sacking back out on the mattress he refreshed his pages, when his pocket vibrated.
10 is good
Great, he thought. He was wondering how he was going to afford dinner anyway. Issue resolved, Beamer settled on watching the rest of The Young Turks as he polished off his drink. Sitting up a bit he cracked his back, the cramps were starting to work their way through his body. Itd only been a day since his last shot and already he was starting to feel the withdrawal grip him. He tried to ignore it, lying back on his mattress. He propped his laptop on top of his chest and continued watching his videos, but as time rolled on he only felt worse.
Two hours passed. He lay on his bed, desperately trying to ease the body aches. Pain and frustration were etched in Beamers face as his eyes started to water. Trembling fingers tapped the keys, partly caused by chills racing through his spine, but mostly by fear. Reluctantly, Beamer glanced at an old clamshell chessboard sitting beside his bed. It was bound by leather buttoned in place, with the tears and scuffs that come through age and heavy use. He scratched his face nervously, its getting worse, he thought. Hed felt withdrawal creep up on him before, but never this soon, this hard.
Another hour passed, leaving Beamer staring through teary eyes at the ceiling. Everything was hurting, like he hit the pavement falling from the third story window. There was no doubt that hed need another dose; this could not wait until morning. By now the sun already set, leaving just the laptop screen illuminating his room. Gradually he rolled over, every muscle aching as he did so. He felt sick, green. Not money green, like a puss green. His limbs didnt feel real anymore, someone replaced them with plastic. Long, thin plastic arms clutching at a stiff leather body. Like a marionette he rose from the bed, uneasy and trembling, to grab a spoon from the kitchen drawer. The guilt sank into his stomach as he plopped back on the mattress. It welled there like an acid, boiling his insides, making him nauseous. Beamer reached for his chess box, pulling it into the light.
Opening it up, he flicked the contents with his fingers before grabbing a tea-light candle. As he lit it the tiny flame caused the walls to come alive with shadows. He placed it on the hardwood floor while looking around the room. Shadows swayed and bobbed, crashed and weaved, formless masses splashing together. There was no light outside, no reflections, just masses of darkness swelling and falling, like an ocean. Only his mattress was illuminated in the dim, sickly light, like a raft set adrift on the endless murk. Beamer shivered, staring into the churning abyss. He swayed back and forth as the last of his will faded.
With mechanical motion he pulled out a small, powder-filled water balloon from his box, untwisting it with tender care. As he emptied the white powder into the spoon his fingers started to shake even more. Not with fear, now, anticipation. He was sick and he needed his medicine. Once he had his medicine everything would be okay. Itll stop the pain, the pain was almost gone! Beamer pulled a cotton swab out and yanked the fluffy head off one end, he was almost cured.
Frantically he unscrewed his water bottle and pulled a syringe from the box. Whether it was fresh or used he couldnt tell, but it wouldnt matter, he was going to get better soon anyway. Dipping into the water he drew the liquid in and, careful not to disturb the contents too much, emptied the needle into the spoon. He held the spoon over the flame of the candle like a mother cradling her newborn child, caressing it gently with the cottonball on the tip of the needle. In moments the powder was melted down, swirling in the water like a golden residue. No, at that moment it was worth more than gold. Beamer sucked up every drop of the gold into his syringe. He turned it upside down and flicked it, squirting a tiny bit out of the top to clear the air. Precious drops caressed the edges of the golden syringe, cascading down in a sickly off color. They welled on his icy fingers, thick, foul pools putrid with disease.
Beamer wiped his hand on his shirt and pulled out a snake-like length of rubber hose from his box. Tying it around his arm it constricted tighter and tighter, cutting off the sludge crawling in his arteries. He straightened out his arm and pumped his fist a few times, bringing the off-color veins near the surface of the inside of his elbow like throbbing sewers. Holding the needle flat against his elbow he yanked off the tourniquet, unleashing the flow of septic waste into his arm. The needle pierced his paper skin, embedding itself in the vein, sucking in a portion of the ooze inside to mingle with the medicine. Smoothly the plunger forced the contents back into his veins like a pump. Beamer forced every last drop out before pulling the needle out of his arm.
The needle left a hole in his skin, but no sludge came out. Instead, it was the brightest red bead of blood hed ever seen, pure and vital... and warm. The warmth swept all over his body, like he was being hugged by his mom, dad, and the sweetest girl he ever met all at once. He felt... light, everything felt light and floaty, except his head which felt too heavy to hold up. Beamer started to drift in and out, his head nodding, completely lost in the moment. Smiling a wide happy smile, the look of pure contentment, he gradually leaned over, collapsing on his side, just barely hanging off the mattress. All his aches and pains were gone; the medicine worked. The only thing he could think about now was how soft his bed was. It was bliss.
For over fifteen minutes he just laid there staring into space, unmoving, barely even breathing. His body felt like he was wrapped in thick wool blankets, everything was soft and comfortable. Eventually he rolled over, at some point pushing his laptop off the bed to sprawl out. Hours rolled by without notice. Nothing interrupted his peace. Not the buzzing of his phone, nor the flashing of his chat windows, not even the knocks on his door. He just laid there in the happiest place in the world.
Long after dark, the effects started to subside and Beamer felt a little nauseous. Sluggishly rolling out of bed, he packed his box up and drank the rest of the water bottle. It was then he realized he hadnt had anything to eat all day. Anything to eat, he thought, shit! He grabbed his cell phone and looked at the time. It was 10:57 pm and he had two missed calls. Groggy though he was, he fat fingered his way to Angela's number to call her back. As the line rang Beamer paced the floor with uncertain steps.
Hey... Angela, what's up?
Hey! Where were you? Your place was dark when we showed up.
I was uh... taking a nap... he said, flicking a light on, sorry, I must not have heard you.
We banged on the door like three times.
Yeah, um, so, did you still want to hang out?
The other side went silent for a moment. After a while Angela replied, Sorry, I don't have any cash.
Yeah, but I'll be out that way tomorrow after school, so umm... I guess I can just stop by and pick it up then?
That'd work, you want the same as last time?
Alright, see you tomorrow, have a good night.
You too. *click*
Beamer pocketed his phone and sighed; he wasn't going to get anything to eat that night and his stomach was killing him. He poured a glass of tap water and choked down his meal.

We already know y'all loved Captain Planet's Ningané EP – we did, too. But the diverse beatsmith might have outdone himself with his first full length, Cookin' Gumbo.

February Bee Blocks
For my Milwaukee Modern Quilt Guild bee, Kristen gave us Sherbet Pips and asked us to make square-in-square blocks. She fussy-cut the centers for us, but we had free reign over the rest. I think the solid pink makes those little girls really pop! This is going to be such a fun quilt.
For Sew Beautiful, Emily asked us to make blocks with an off-center panel of patchwork—and the patchwork could be anything we wanted. I know Emily love love loves teeny-tiny piecing, so I decided to give her some of that with this block. For the design itself, I was inspired by this block by Faith, which Emily had pinned. I used Thangles to make the half-square triangles—they finish at just 1"! That's eensy for me. I really like how it turned out, and I hope Emily will too!
And this is my own month in the Stash Trad bee, so I've been able to just sit back and watch these gorgeous blocks filter in from all around the world. I knew the Stash Trad ladies were up for anything I could throw at them, so I assigned the Arkansas Traveler block from the Summer Sampler Series (tutorial here). I've got big plans for this quilt and will likely be making a whole bunch of these blocks myself to finish off the quilt, but here's what has come from my bee-mates so far. Those girls are a seriously talented bunch!
On to March!

ZF-3748: Wrong version documented (or confusing wording) of lucene version supported
In the documentation, it claims the current ZF version supports Lucene index format 2.1 while the coming ZF 1.6 will support 2.3.
These indices are backwards compatible (newer code should be able to read older indices in the Java world). However, it is very difficult to glean from the inaccurate / confusing documentation which version of ZF matches with which version of Lucene index.
Please also see "Interoperating with Java Lucene. File Formats." documentation section.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

ZF-5388: Zend_Amf_Server handles arguments wrong
The method _handle(Zend_Amf_Request $request) of Zend_Amf_Server handles the passed arguments wrong when the message is of type AMF3 and sent via NetConnection.
Current source code Zend/Amf/Server.php line 306: $return = $this->_dispatch($method, array($body->getData()), $source);
Since the bodies data is already an array containing all passed arguments wrapping them in another array is wrong and should be modified to: $return = $this->_dispatch($method, $body->getData(), $source);
Else the number of passed arguments is always one - even if multiple arguments have been sent from flash - sincethe first argument is an array containing all arguments. In the following line 309 it is done correctly when dealing with only a different kind of method signature.
One minor note: $body->getData() could be replaced by: $message in both line (306 and 309)
hi, I'm not sure I understood well but it might be why I got something working with amfphp but not zend amf.
I'm trying to pass 3 arguments to a method: 1. a string 2. a array of string 3. a string
public function getDataWidthArrayParam($str1, $arr, $str2) { array_push($arr, "a", "b", "c"); return $arr; }
and I get a: Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.BadVersion
while the same php is working with amfphp.
Also, if I pass an array (to a method that is waiting for one array) and return it with some changes, I get:
with amfphp: result: [0] = 1 [1] = 2 [2] = 2
with zend amf: result: [0] = [0] = 1 [1] = 2 [2] = 2
Shouldn't I get a normal array (like amfphp) instead of an array of one element containing the array returned?
Romu www.soundstep.com
The issue exists whenever an array is passed in as a parameter. This issue exists whenever an array is used as a single parameter or if one of the multiple parameters is an array.
Change has been committed to trunk with unit tests.
These changes have to merged to branches/release-1.7 to be included in the next release (1.7.4)
I'm having the exact same issue when I try to pass a ByteArray and a String together. I'm using 1.7.5. The same script works in AMFPHP 1.9.
I have the same problems if 1 of the parameters is a Flex object (class Object). I 've updated to version 1.7.6 and the problem (with arrays and objects) still persists.
Changes have been approved and committed to the trunk to resolve issue.
Contacted Wil and Matthew about getting helping me figure out how to get this merged into the next minor release.
This issue has been added to the 1.7 release branch.

My first thoughts on this bar when I saw it on the shelf was: "Why 86%?" It seems a really random number to choose. I then looked at a contender for shelf space with Ghirardelli: Lindt; and saw that they have an 85% bar (which is really good by the way). Seems like Ghirardelli is trying to pull a one up on Lindt by making a bar with a higher cacao content to appeal to the dark chocolate devotees. It seems half-hearted that the "higher" percentage is only 1%.
The ingredients list reads: "Bittersweet chocolate (unsweetened chocolate, (do they mean cocoa solids?) cocoa butter, sugar, soy lecithin, vanilla, natural flavor". I'm happy to see the real vanilla, yet am annoyed with the "natural flavor" and am confused as to why the cocoa solids are called "unsweetened chocolate". Not to mention that 86% is called "bittersweet", cause that's really "dark" in my book. Oh, semantics. Chocolate terminology needs to start having some guidelines here.
The chocolate is a nice and very dark color. It smells roasted with notes of raisins, cherries and cinnamon. The snap is strong with a clean break. I see no bubbles or anything in the chocolate, so obviously this bar was nicely tempered.
The flavor starts off dry and bland at first. The middle is where things start to get interesting where a dry, chalky, and musky flavor appears. It has a slight fruity notes of berries and a twang of citrus at the finish. The aftertaste is, surprise, dry and a little tannic with that musky flavor again. Overall this bar tastes very "green" to me since plants come to mind. The mouth feel is very slick and slippery feeling, and it's very pleasurable because of it. That's what lots of cocoa butter will do for you.
I was surprised by the lack of flavor and the intense dryness of this bar. Granted, higher percentages are hard to do well, but it seems this bar just decided to avoid acidity associated with dark chocolates by sacrificing flavor. A good try, but it's lack of depth just stopped it dead to me. Why eat it if it doesn't taste of chocolate? I plan to stick with the Lindt 85% bar if you really enjoy tasting chocolate.

Onto the third of the 5 Gum flavors that I've gathered to review. This one immediately confused me. RPM? What am I supposed to make out of that? What flavor am I supposed to surmise? What hint am supposed to glean? Other than, you know, the fact that this is clearly marketed to men with a name like that. Since I am not a man, maybe I am not meant to understand. Despite their marketing ploys, I do have taste buds, so I will get to the bottom of what RPM is about.
RPM can apply to a few things. I think of record players and car engines. Dude things, I suppose. The sticks of gum are wrapped in a lemon-lime yellow green and have an interesting aroma. It smells fruity with a spicy edge to it. Not sure if to say the scent is herbal or not, but it makes me think of apple pie for a strange reason. It's similar to smelling a fresh cinnamon stick, somehow.
The gum's aroma gets even stranger as I pull it out to chew. The spicy note I detected earlier is even more powerful now, and it reminds me of potpourri. I ask myself if I really want to taste this gum that badly. The stick of gum is a nice light yellow, and trying not to think more about it, I pop the piece in my mouth. The flavor stars off fruity, but it reminds me of how red licorice tastes. Something about it just tasted "red". The flavor is metallic and has notes of cherries. Oddly enough the flavor gets somewhat sour the more I chew it, which I find interesting. Again, the flavor and texture quickly deteriorate as you chew, and soon it becomes faint and tough.
This flavor was, tasty but odd. I am not sure if it's something I would specifically crave. But, if in a bind I'd certainly have it again. It's not favorite, but it's certainly tastier than many. If only it lasted longer!

More than 400,000 people whose homes were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy are lining up for help with the federal FEMA program, the local New York City Rapid Repair program and other first responders. They come to Catholic Charities to find out what can be done fast and what can be done now, said Michelle LaVignera, director of Staten Island Social Services for Catholic Charities, who, along with staff and volunteers, is helping them navigate the process.
In Staten Island, one of the hardest-hit areas by the super storm, Catholic Charities set up an information booth at the New York City Restoration Center at 1976 Highland Blvd, a main hub established so that hurricane victims can get services and support from first responders at a single site.
Catholic Charities is also offering food and supplies through its mobile food pantry and information and support at the Staten Island Catholic Charities agency MIV / Mt. Loreto. And now, as temperatures drop and mold becomes an increasing concern, Catholic Charities is obtaining infrared heaters to distribute among those in need.
"Our main focus now is serving people in crisis," Ms. LaVignera said. "But we are also planning for the future. Since we are an agency with locations in Staten Island we will be here long term."

Baltimore County News
by Police Chief James Johnson
Following tragedies such as Monday's Perry Hall High School shooting, we all search for lessons, for knowledge that can help us avoid something similar one day down the road.
Over the past week, I've heard many people ask how the 15-year-old suspect, Robert Wayne Gladden Jr., managed to get the shotgun – kept in his father's home in Hawthorne – used to critically injure classmate Daniel Borowy and victimize an entire community.
It's a logical question – but there's an equally logical question that has been overlooked: Why didn't Gladden use the multiple firearms in his mother and stepfather's home in the 8500 block of Bradshaw Road?
This shooting, as devastating as it was, could have been worse. Police have evidence that Gladden was well aware of the guns in his stepfather's home but knew he could not access them because they were locked in a safe.
One person was shot on Monday. As I see it, there could have been more victims but for two factors: The quick and heroic actions of the guidance counselor who rushed to subdue Gladden, and Gladden's inability to obtain his stepfather's weapons.
The shotgun Gladden used in this crime holds two rounds of ammunition. It is capable of inflicting deadly damage. Still, reloading it takes time, and it is not as easy to use as more contemporary weapons.
Now consider some of the weapons and ammunition in the Bradshaw Road home as described in the District Court statement of charges already released to the public:
- Zhongzhou 20-gauge shotgun
- Boito 12-gauge shotgun
- Sears Roebuck & Co Model 100 30-30 caliber rifle
- Marlin Model 30-30 caliber rifle
- Remington 22 caliber auto loader
- Remington shotgun
- Remington Sportsman 12 gauge shotgun
- Ruger P95 9mm semiautomatic handgun
- Loaded handgun magazine and assorted live ammunition
Some of these weapons are easier to use and have higher capacity magazines than the shotgun used in the shooting. The Ruger handgun is a semiautomatic weapon capable of rapidly firing multiple rounds. That weapon would have been particularly destructive, had Gladden been able to use it in the cafeteria.
Gladden did not take one or more of these weapons to Perry Hall High on the first day of school because he literally could not put his hands on them. Andrew Piper, Gladden's stepfather, is legally prohibited from owning weapons. But at least he locked these guns in a safe.
Gladden took the Western Field double-barreled shotgun – unsecured in his father's Hawthorne Road home -- and carried it to school because it was the only weapon he could get.
Maryland law requires gun owners to secure loaded firearms from children 15 and younger. The Perry Hall shooting shows that not securing unloaded weapons – while legal – is dangerous as well. As a police chief, I encourage gun owners to do more than the law requires by securing all weapons, loaded or unloaded. This is neither difficult nor expensive; there are many affordable gun-locking devices on the market.
Regardless of our opinions about guns and gun control, we ought to be able to agree on this: The consequences of not securing firearms in the home can be disastrous.
If you are a gun owner, I hope that is one of the lessons you take away from what happened at Perry Hall High this week.

Kakenya Ntaiya:
A girl who demanded school
Kakenya Ntaiya made a deal with her father: She would undergo the traditional Maasai rite of passage of female circumcision if he would let her go to high school. Ntaiya tells the fearless story of continuing on to college, and of working with her village elders to build a school for girls in her community. It's the educational journey of one that altered the destiny of 125 young women. (Filmed at TEDxMidAtlantic.)

I upgraded from my XTI with the 28-105 USM lens to the 7d with the 28-135 (130 maybe) USM IS lens. I'm just getting it unboxed and getting familiar with some of the buttons, etc - but i've noticed that the camera seems exceptionally loud while firing off photos, and the lens seems loud while autofocusing. That may just be a case of "that's the way it is," but shouldn't a newer, more advanced camera be quieter? Or is that just me showing the noob-factor? Thanks
In addition to @Guffa 's great answer, the Canon 7D does have two silent shooting modes. If you are in a situation that you are concerned about the noise that your camera is producing - that is exactly why they now have these modes. You do tradeoff performance in either speed of the shots or AF - but if you just need to take a quiet shot in a church for example it is a great alternative.
You have two modes, Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 1 leaves the shutter curtain open while you shoot continuously. Mode 2 is for single shot and just lets you decide when to reopen the shutter. Try them out, I think this will resolve your concern about any additional noise, as they are considerably quieter options then the standard modes.
A newer, more advanced camera isn't neccesarily more quiet, because the sound level is not so high on the priority list. Simply put, quiet cameras doesn't sell better. (Well, at least not compared to other features.) Actually, more advanced might mean that it gets louder.
If the sensor is larger, then there is also a larger mirror, so flipping up the mirror makes more noise. Also, if the delay from pressing the button until the image is captured has been cut, the mirror has to move faster, which makes it louder.
If the auto focus is faster (which it often is on a newer camera), it generally makes more noise simply because the motor has to do more work to move the lens elements faster. Also, if the lens has larger lens elements (to allow a larger aperture), then there is also more mass for the focus motor to move.
The max shutter speed on the 7D is 1/8000", while on the XTi it's 1/4000". That means that the shutter itself moves twice as fast across the sensor. It's possible that the mirror also moves faster on the 7D than it does on the XTi. Both lenses should be fairly quiet as they both have USM motors, but the image stabilizer in your new lens may contribute a small amount of additional noise.
The Canon 5D and 6D have "silent" modes which actually slow down the mirror and thus reduce noise somewhat. The 7D takes a different approach -- it's "silent shooting" modes function only during live view, i.e. when you're using the display instead of the viewfinder.
The sound you here is louder because the Canon EOS 7D is built tougher than the XTi. Its shutter is rated for more usage, faster shutter-speeds, faster continuous drive. Plus, most of this applies to the mirror mechanism too. A faster moving mirror gives you a shorter black-out-time which is highly desirable. This tougher mirror and shutter makes more noise which is what you hear with every shot.
You can use one of the quiet modes to slow things down and you will hear the difference. Things move slower, so they make less noise.
Your former lens is very quiet, I have one of those. I have seen your new lens but do not recall if it was louder or not. This may be simply mechanical differences as well.
I would suspect the reason is purely because the mirror moves much faster, thus it makes more noise when it stops.
The 7D can fire 8fps. So the mirror is designed to be raised and lowered 8 times per second, with enough time in between to give the camera a reasonable chance to focus. This means that the time to raise and lower the mirror has to be much faster than 1/8th of a second.

|Mortellaro honored for the 13th time
Idaho's Sean McMullen is the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Men's Golfer of the Week while Idaho's Kayla Mortellaro and San Jose State's Madeleine Ziegert share the women's award for the week for March 12-18.
McMullen, a freshman from Kent, Wash., posted his best finish of the spring when he placed second at the Jackrabbit Invitational in Primm, Nevada, March 12-13. McMullen fired a 66 in the first round to take the early lead and finished with a 9-under par 207 (66-71-70), two strokes behind the eventual winner. His performance also helped the Vandals win the 15-team tournament. It is the first time that McMullen has won a WAC golfer of the week or month award.
Mortellaro, a senior from Phoenix, Ariz., won her ninth collegiate title with a one-stroke victory at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational at Honolulu March 13-14. Mortellaro trailed by two strokes going into the final round but finished one stroke better than the second-round leader with a 5-over par 221 (73-73-75). It is the 13th time in her career that Mortellaro has won a WAC golfer of the week or month award.

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the 16th, in 2009-10:
Directors' Cup No. 16 (2009-10) | 2009-10 Season In Photos
STANFORD'S 2010 NCAA men's volleyball championship had its origins in 2007, during a 3-25 season.
On road trips, the five-member freshman class always chose to ride in the van driven by longtime assistant coach Al Roderigues.
"Don't worry," Roderigues told them during that season. "Someday, you'll go worst to first."
"I had hope," said Kawika Shoji, the 2010 National Player of the Year, recalling those bitter days. "I dreamed."
For four seasons, Roderigues' motto became a mantra, a theme that echoed along with the sound of volleyballs deflecting off the shadows inside the Burnham Pavilion practice gym. And, as those years passed, the Cardinal kept getting better.
By the time Stanford rolled into the 2010 NCAA final, excellence was expected. What it got, however, was perfection.
In volleyball terms, Stanford's stunning performance was as close to perfection as anyone could ask for. The Cardinal (24-6) hit .495 as a team, and sophomore Brad Lawson pummeled Penn State with 24 kills in 28 swings. His only hitting error came on a kill that was nullified because Lawson stepped on the three-meter line during a backrow attack. He finished with a hitting percentage of .821 - a Stanford season-high by nearly .200 points.
It may have been the most dominating performance by an outside hitter in NCAA Tournament history, all in front of a raucous Maples Pavilion crowd dressed largely as Star Wars characters.
Roderigues didn't live to see his prediction come true. He died March 19 of stomach cancer, only 11 days after Stanford rose to No. 1 in the national rankings for the first time in years.
However, Stanford players kept his memory in their thoughts and played the season with "AL" sewn into the sleeves of their uniforms.
The men's volleyball team contributed 100 points as Stanford took home its 16th straight Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, scoring 1508.5 points, the highest total in NCAA Division I history.
Stanford scored points in 28 sports, but could only count the maximum 10 men's and 10 women's sports. Stanford boasted an impressive 17 top-10 finishes -- taking home the men's volleyball and women's tennis titles. The Cardinal had 11 teams finish among the nation's top five, and that didn't count women's lightweight rowing, which captured the national IRA title, but wasn't included in the Director's Cup scoring.
Toby Gerhart wasn't your typical Heisman Trophy candidate. He was under-recruited coming out of high school and did not play on a national-title contender in 2009. But Gerhart was dominant and would finish second in the closest Heisman vote ever.
The hard-running Gerhart did win the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back ever, rushing for a Stanford record 1,871 yards and scoring a national-leading 28 touchdowns. He rushed for 178 yards and three TDs in the "What's Your Deal?" 55-21 thrashing of No. 11 USC at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
In the final home game of his collegiate career, Gerhart carried the Cardinal to a 45-38 nationally-televised victory over Notre Dame, scoring the winning touchdown with 59 seconds left.
Gerhart gained 205 yards on 29 carries, scored three touchdowns and passed for another on a wild fourth-down play that tied a game and capped a comeback from an 11-point second-half deficit before 50,510 at Stanford Stadium.
"It was mayhem," said Gerhart, who was rushed by joyous Stanford fans on the field after the game. "I don't know what to say. I was excited, I was shaking. It was a good way to go out."
Just as her sister Erin had done before her, Mallory Burdette closed out an NCAA women's tennis team title for Stanford. Mallory trailed 5-4 in the third set of the deciding match against Florida, but rallied for a 7-5 victory to clinch the championship.
The women's basketball team returned to the NCAA final, thanks partly to Jeanette Pohlen's heroics in the regional final that enabled the Cardinal to advance to the Final Four.
Pohlen drove the length of the court to lay in the ball at the final buzzer to give Stanford a dramatic 55-53 victory over Xavier.
In the national semifinal, teammate Nnemkadi Ogwumike scored a career-high 38 points to lead Stanford to a 73-66 victory over Oklahoma. Ogwumike set game (23) and season school records for rebounds (376) and was named Pac-10 Player of the Year during a 36-2 season.
* * *
More highlights from 2009-10:
• Stanford reached its first NCAA College Cup women's soccer final behind the play of Kelley O'Hara, Stanford's first Hermann Trophy winner as the best player in college soccer. O'Hara led the nation in goals (26) and points (65) and was the key to the Cardinal's best-ever 25-1 season.
• Bradley Klahn became the 14th Stanford player to win an NCAA singles title and the first in a decade. Klahn entered the tournament with a No. 13 national ranking. Klahn picked apart the competition, winning four of his six NCAA tournament singles matches in straight sets and earning a berth in the national title match after easily knocking off the tournament's top seed and country's No. 2-ranked player in Henrique Cunha of Duke 6-2, 6-2. Klahn handled unseeded Austen Childs of Louisville, 6-1, 6-2, in the final.
• The No. 2 Stanford Lightweight Eight set a course record en route to claiming its first-ever IRA national title with a nearly four-second victory over top-ranked Wisconsin in the Grand Final. The victory would launch a run of four consecutive national titles from 2010-13.
• Elaine Breeden captured the 100- and 200-yard butterfly and Julia Smit won the 200 and 400 individual medleys to carry the Cardinal to second place at the NCAA women's swimming and diving championships. Breeden was one of four finalists for the Honda-Broderick Award and Smit was the Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year. The two combined for 50 All-America honors.
• Carly Janiga became the second Stanford gymnast to win a women's individual title when she won the uneven bars crown with a score of 9.9375, giving her three top-three finishes in the meet.
• Stanford women's gymnastics was in danger of being eliminated during the team preliminaries, but senior Blair Ryland led off the vault rotation with a personal best 9.925 to change the momentum for the Cardinal, which indeed advanced to the NCAA Super Six for the third time in four years. Stanford would place fourth as a team.
• Chad LaTourette won the 1,650 freestyle and Eugene Godsoe won the 100 backstroke at the NCAA men's swimming and diving championships, helping the Cardinal to fourth.
• Eddie Penev won the vault and Ryan Lieberman won the parallel bars to help the Stanford men's gymnastics team to second in the NCAA.
• Lindsay Burdette and Hilary Barte teamed for the NCAA women's tennis doubles crown.
The Final Count:
1) Stanford, 1,508.5
2) Florida, 1,310.25
3) Virginia, 1,253.25
5) Florida State, 1,087.5
Stanford's Top Scoring Teams:
1 (tie), Men's volleyball, women's tennis, each 100 points; 3( tie), women's soccer, women's water polo, women's basketball, men's gymnastics, and women's swimming and diving, 90 each.

Visiting Scholar Revisits D.C.
Professor Michael Minkenberg arrived in D.C. just in time for Barack Obama's second inauguration. For a political science scholar, it was perfect timing. He went to hotel bars and engaged with people from all over the U.S. to get a sense of how they felt about the reelection.
He is visiting SIS as a professor of political science at European University Viadrina in Frankfurt to build on his research about the role of religion in Western democracies.
"As a political scientist, Washington is one of the most fascinating places to be in the U.S.," said Minkenberg.
He has known the District since the 1980s, when he interned on Capitol Hill and pursued a master's degree in American Government from Georgetown University. American University, however, was the first campus Minkenberg ever visited in the U.S. He came to AU for a Fulbright Scholars' orientation that SIS Professor Gary Weaver organized in 1983.
"I have known Weaver longer than any other professor in the U.S.," he said.
Minkenberg is an accomplished scholar both in the U.S. and in his home country of Germany. For more than twenty years, he has traveled back and forth between both countries. In 1989, he obtained a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Heidelberg. Years later, he held the Max Weber Chair for German and European Studies at New York University, and taught at Cornell.
He is back in DC until spring to work on his newest project. He will explore the boundaries between religion and the state, the differences that exist between countries, and how the changing "religious map" plays into the process.
"How is the boundary made? Muslims in the West are always a minority. They are newcomers in most countries, so do they participate in the drawing of the boundaries?" asked Minkenberg.
When he is not trying to answer such questions, he likes visiting the city's museums and dining with friends and colleagues. He also likes drinking beer, and was pleasantly surprised by new offers in local businesses.
"Coming from Germany, it's not so surprising that I like beer a lot," he said. "When I came in the 80s, the beer was terrible - now it's much more drinkable."
In addition to his studies on religion and politics, Minkenberg is interested in power and architecture, especially how one shapes the other. He is preparing a book on this topic, and sees D.C. as a good example of how a nation can imagine its capital from zero. He is also an expert on the radical right, immigration and nationalism.
Before returning to Germany, Minkenberg will give lectures on these topics at AU, Georgetown University and the University of California, Berkeley.

The Spy From Cairo is secretly Moreno Visini, the artist formerly known as Zeb, who's reimerged with a new album, Secretly Famous. An effort by The Spy From Cairo to consolidate as much Middle Eastern music as possible, every track focuses on a particular style of music from the Arab countries – all with his signature Afro, Dub and electronic stylings – from the fierce sounds of the Mizmar and Nay in "Nayphony" (which is an adaptation of traditional Jordanian music) to "Ana Arabi," a song about being an Arab (not a terrorist) with beautifully sung lyrics by Ghalia Benali.

This is a luxurious trumpet-flare lace dress I bought (new with tags) because I fell in love especially with the plunging back and the lace detailing. The v-shaped neckline has scalloped edging, and Swarovski crystals highlight the empire waistline. Fabric is lace/net over satin — definitely on the lighter side and easy to move around in.
Official Allure page on the dress: http://allurebridals.com/Store_ProductDetail.aspx?pid=DBI244266890eI7Ig256
It's part of their "Romance" collection which used to be called "Exclusive Bridals."
I wore it this past September in a classic Virginia summer wedding, and would love for it to go to a fellow lace-loving bride!

Embry-Riddle signs off on space degree
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 3:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 7:45 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is moving forward with offering a bachelor's degree in commercial space operations this fall.
The university's board approved the new degree at its latest meeting. The university first announced plans for the program in February at the Federal Aviation Administration's 16th annual Commercial Space Transportation Conference.
Embry-Riddle officials said the program is the first of its kind in the world. While a couple of other schools have master's degrees pertaining to space studies, Embry-Riddle leaders say those degrees don't cater to the emerging commercial space industry.
"The commercial space operations degree is the culmination of a total effort by the College of Aviation's leadership, faculty, and students," Tim Brady, dean of the campus's College of Aviation, said in a statement. "It is also gratifying to have had tremendous help and support of the space industry."
Graduates of the new degree program will have the qualifications needed to fill jobs in management, training and education, policy, safety, program and project planning, human factors, regulation, flight planning and operations. The program links Embry-Riddle's expertise in aerospace education with the needs of commercial space industries and regulatory agencies.
"When we were planning this degree, our advisers from the commercial space industry, including SpaceX, said they couldn't wait to hire our graduates," program coordinator Lance Erickson said following Friday's actions by the board. "It is one of the most innovative non-engineering degrees in the aerospace industry."

Pecotic Ends Run at NCAA Singles Championship
Yanick Hanfmann of USC defeated Princeton senior Matija Pecotic 6-4, 6-1 in the Round of 32 at the NCAA singles championship Thursday, ending the Tiger's outstanding career.
"I really thought Hanfmann played a great match and didn't give us many opportunities," Princeton head coach Billy Pate said. "We didn't quite handle the windy conditions as well and missed on the chances we had. Nonetheless, nothing can detract from the amazing career Matija had at Princeton. He will go down as one of our finaest players and exemplifies that type of committment, hard work and character we want our program to exude."
Pecotic, ranked 15th in the country, battled in the first set with Hanfmann, ranked 45th, tying him at 3-3 and pulling within 5-4 before the Trojan won the set. Hanfmann opened up a 4-0 lead in the second set before winning two of the last three games to take the match.
Pecotic, the first three-time Ivy League Player of the Year in league history, was making his second straight appearance in the NCAA singles championship. With his first-round win Wednesday, he became the first Tiger men's player since Reed Cordish '96 in 1996 to win an NCAA singles match, and the first Ivy Leaguer since Harvard's Jonathan Chu in 1995.

Despite a combined 30 kills from Kendall Peterkin and Sarah Hanna, the Princeton women's volleyball team fell 3-1 to the host Bryant Bulldogs in the Tigers' opening match of the Bryant Invitational.
Princeton fell to 3-5 with the loss, though the Tigers can get back to .500 Saturday when it takes on UMass-Lowell (10 am) and Stony Brook (5 pm). Those will be Princeton's final two matches before Ivy League play begins Sept. 27 with a home match against Penn.
Peterkin led the Tigers with 19 kills in the 25-23, 25-23, 19-25, 25-22 loss to Butler, while Hanna had 11 kills and hit .259. Freshman Ellie Shannon added six kills and hit .357 for Princeton.
One major bright spot for Princeton was the play of junior middle Nicole Kincade, who returned from injury with eight kills, five blocks and four service aces. Freshman Lauren Miller had a team-high 32 assists, while sophomore Sarah Daschbach led the Tigers with 16 digs.

text: Garamond™ Bold is based on roman types cut by Jean Jannon in 1615. Jannon followed the designs of Claude Garamond which had been cut in the previous century. Garamond Bold's types were, in turn, based on those used by Aldus Manutius in 1495 and cut by Francesco Griffo. The italic is based on types cut in France circa 1557 by Robert Granjon. This version of Garamond Bold was introduced in 1922 for hot metal typecasters. It is a beautiful typeface with an air of informality which looks good in a wide range of applications. It works particularly well in books and lengthy text settings. Character Set: Latin-1, WGL Pan-European (Eastern Europe, Cyrillic, Greek and Turkish).

Boil order lifted for Pine Valley
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority lifted the precautionary boil water advisory for customers living in a portion of Pine Valley Wednesday morning.
The advisory was issued Tuesday as CFPUA contractor crews conducted water main extension work, requiring water service to be affected in the 800 and 900 blocks of Haymarket Lane, at 1004 Haymarket Lane and at 4407 through 4411 Leatherwood Drive.
Water quality testing has now been completed and service has returned to normal, according to a CFPUA news release.
Boil water advisories are issued as a precaution because periods of low or no pressure increase the potential for the introduction of bacteria into the water system.
The boil water advisory for the Pine Valley area was in place for just over 24 hours.

I have been wondering what approach to take in order to figure out what key was used to encrypt a message using the hill cipher. I know it is possible to obtain it even if it were just a known-plaintext attack, so it should be fairly possible for a chosen-plaintext one. I'm trying to figure it out with just intuition, but since I know freq. analysis won't be of help, I don't know what else to try. I want to get my head around this, but could someone point me in the right direction?

Sure. Assuming that you're using the encoding $A = 0$, $B = 1$, etc., just choose your plaintext messages to be the one-block strings:
$$ BA \dots A \\ AB \dots A \\ \vdots \\ AA \dots B $$
The encryptions of these strings will then directly give you the columns of your key matrix.

text: Nov 7, 2012 17:21 Celebrities air post-election feelings online Celebrities air post-election feelings online FILE - In this Sept. 27, 2012 file photo, Donald Trump arrives for the opening ceremony at the Ryder Cup PGA golf tournament at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill. Trump has deleted some of the Twitter tirade he posted following President Barack Obama's re-election and added new critiques of NBC's Brian Williams. Trump began tweeting before the election was called that it was a total sham and a travesty. After news outlets projected that Obama won the election, Trump tweeted, Well, back to the drawing board! He posted more than 10 angry tweets, declaring our nation is a once great nation divided and the world is laughing at us. He encouraged a revolution in this country.(AP Photo/David J. Phillip) SANDY COHEN| AP Entertainment Writer Nov. 7, 2012; 5:21 p.m. Comments LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mariah Carey was so excited about President Barack Obama's re-election that she released a new song in his honor. Beyoncé popped up on Instagram with a rebuke for Mitt Romney, while Romney supporter Elisabeth Hasselbeck sent out a disappointed but conciliatory tweet urging a divided United States to become one. Celebrities, who voiced their opinions loudly during the election, continued to speak their minds after the ballots were counted. Cameron Diaz, promoting her film "Gambit" in London, said she was worried about the election as she fell asleep. "I was terrified that I was going to wake up to a total embarrassment for our country and that today would be a very different day for me," she said Wednesday. "But I was so thrilled." Romney supporters Donald Trump and Ted Nugent ranted on Twitter after the election that the country is doomed, while Spike Lee and Russell Simmons celebrated Obama's victory and the diverse electorate behind it. NBC News anchor Brian Williams called attention to Trump's series of tweets Tuesday while covering election returns, saying the real-estate magnate and reality-TV star had "driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible" with his posts. "This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!" Trump tweeted. "Let's fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us." Nugent was similarly upset — and expressive — Wednesday morning. "Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters hav a president to destroy America," he wrote. "Goodluk America u just voted for economic & spiritual suicide. Soulless fools." He concluded with: "I cry tears of blood for The Last Best Place & the warriors who died for this tragedy." Hasselbeck shared a more measured response, tweeting, "(Hash) momentofpeace: You cannot love the game only when your player wins. We remain to be the greatest nation and (at)BarackObama is OUR President." Mark Cuban, meanwhile, extended a virtual olive branch to Trump, writing, "I know it was a rough night for u," and inviting Trump to join him in raising funds for victims of Hurricane Sandy. Spike Lee was among the most vocal Obama supporters online after the election, using his Twitter feed to blast the Republican party. "Great Lesson. This Is Not Ike's 1950's USA. Complexion Of This Great Country Has Changed-A True Melting Pot. The GOP Is Stuck In A Time Warp. YO," the filmmaker wrote Wednesday. "GOP WAKE UP. This Is Not" LEAVE TO BEAVER.FATHER KNOWS BEST OR MAYBERRY R.F.D." THE 21st CENTURY. And Dat's Da 2nd Term Truth, Ruth. YA-DIG??" Beyoncé also gloated a bit, posting a photo on her blog that read, "Take that Mitches." It was accompanied by another photo of the singer wearing a "Texans for Obama" T-shirt. Carey released a new song, "Bring It On Home," online Wednesday to celebrate the president's victory. She first performed the song at an Obama fundraiser over the summer, said Carey publicist Cindi Berger. The pop star also shared her support on Twitter. "Congratulations to our beloved President Barack Obama, our spectacular First Lady Michelle Obama & the adorable Malia & Sasha. We love you!" Carey wrote. "INCREDIBLE SPEECH!!!!!! Watching in a room full of diverse people-all truly moved. Thank you America for President Obama-4more yrs." Rapper Young Jeezy released an election-inspired song of his own Wednesday called "We Done It Again." He recognized Obama's 2008 election with a track called "My President Is Black." Russell Simmons also acknowledged the diversity of Obama supporters in a blog post Wednesday called "Forward!" "This is no time for triumphalism, because we are still in an economic crisis and we still have deep social divisions that must be dealt with," he wrote. "But we have to absorb, as a country, as a NATION, that first and foremost, AMERICA IS CHANGING... We cannot fight demographics by ignoring women, Latinos, blacks, young people, and gays who gave their lives for our country. "The middle class and poor need support," he continues, "and every politician who is not ready for this change should wake today and realize that minorities will wait in line into the early hours of the morning to vote them out of office. Forward, we go." Scores of other stars — including Tony Bennett, Cher, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Jessica Alba and Samuel L. Jackson— celebrated Obama's victory on Twitter. Others, including filmmaker Ron Howard and actors Rob Lowe and James Van Der Beek, say it's time to move past the election toward mending the nation. "To all the winners (and losers) tonight: Politicians run campaigns. Leaders strike compromises," Van Der Beek wrote. "Time for everyone to shift gears now (hash)please." ——— — AP Entertainment Writers Hilary Fox in London and Ryan Pearson in Los Angeles contributed to this report. ——— — Follow AP Entertainment Writer Sandy Cohen on Twitter at www.twitter.com/APSandy .

text: No one wants to see another god damn Warriors fanfic, that's why there is a book series that is written by someone with a competent grasp of the king's english. I'm not saying you can't write one, I'm saying that if you do if it is not "the shit" then I will attack it with extreme prejudice. Be careful when posting Warriors fanfics.

In the late 1950s, Nancy and Walter Katin were in the business of making canvas boat covers, when one day a young man came into the Katins' shop in Surfside California, complaining of the difficulty in finding a pair of swim shorts durable enough to stand up to the then-quirky pastime of surfboard riding. Walter went to his sewing machine and with of the sturdy boat canvas and whipped up the first pair of Kanvas by Katin surf trunks. The American surf wear industry was born. By the time the sport of surfing boomed in popularity in the mid-1960s with the Gidget/Beach Boys-era, Katins were firmly entrenched as the grooviest surf trunk around. Quality, durability and good looks has long been the Katin motto and the Katin quality remains better than ever.

Minister Reynders on the violence in the east of the DR Congo
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is concerned by the recurrence of violence and fighting in the east of the DR Congo. He points out that it is above all the civilian population that suffers most. The ongoing discussions must therefore urgently lead to a swift end to the rebellion, so that the rule of law and the stability in Kivu can be restored.
The minister hopes that the Special Envoy to be appointed by the UN Secretary General in the course of the next few days, in accordance with the agreement signed in Addis Ababa, can begin work as soon as possible. In this way, the dialogue between the groups most active in the region can be promoted and a lasting solution to this instability can be found. The minister reiterates Belgium's support of this initiative.
Didier Reynders hopes that the technical aspects of the reinforced Brigade within MONUSCO will soon be resolved so that the stabilisation process can be supported.
Over and above this necessary security support, the national dialogue scheduled to take place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo must contribute to a political solution to restoring the rule of law in the east.

The Golf Performance Center, home for the Iowa State men's and women's golf programs, debuted in the fall of 2013.
Located just 3 miles from campus, the facility ranks as one of the finest of its kind nationally. The 16-acre home for Cyclone golf was built at a cost of $2 million and is used solely by the Iowa State golf teams, providing ISU student-athletes with all the amenities they need for individual development.
World-renowned architect Keith Foster designed the complex. Foster and his team have provided renovations to Augusta National, Southern Hills Country Club and Colonial Country Club. Some of Foster's original designs include: The Quarry (San Antonio, Texas), ranked as the top public golf course in Texas by Golf Digest in 1996 and The Harvester (Rhodes, Iowa), ranked as the best golf course in Iowa multiple times.
