Latest release: Vengeance Falls (Roadrunner/Warner)

Trivium dropped a bombshell on their fans when they announced that
they were working with Disturbed frontman David Draiman on their new
album. Better known for melodic heavy rock, Trivium's fans probably
suffered a collective heart attack at the thought of what Draiman
could possibly turn their band into. It was a fear that bassist Paolo
Gregoletto cheerfully acknowledges as he waxes brightly about working
with the man.
"I think people were shocked when we announced it," he says.
"Obviously they never saw it coming. We did In Waves and gave him
the CD and he was really blown away with it and really loved what we
were doing. Having been a fan for such a long time, it's cool the way
it worked out, to be able to work with someone that no one's really
worked with before. We've had the privilege of working with so many
name producers, especially within metal, to work with someone new can
give us a new perspective on our music and give us some new ideas. It
was awesome. We approach every record like that. It's not about
sticking to a given formula."
Trivium had more than a year to decide who they would get to
produce Vengeance Falls, with Gregoletto telling Loud early last year
that song writing was already underway. Recording at Draiman's home
studio in Austin, Texas, it was a new experience for the Floridian
quartet that the bass player says was very beneficial to their
creative process.
"Recording this album was the closest thing to being on tour
that you can get," Gregoletto observes. "That's one thing we're
going for, that element of being out of your comfort zone that really
helped with the music. Not being able to go home when you stopped
recording for the day, you were fully immersed in the music all day
long 10am to 10pm pretty much for a month and a half while we were
Draiman's main emphasis for Trivium was pre-production – the
time spent ahead of recording where material is refined and developed
to a recordable standard. Trivium was at Draiman's studio for a
fortnight working on the songs before a single note was laid down.
"David as a producer was very strict with the timeline and how
we were going to do everything. He was very structured and we're a
band that likes that sort of stuff, so it worked out perfect,"
Gregoletto says. "We got up there and he worked on pre-production
for two weeks, and he was really intense. He had a really thought-out
plan. It wasn't like, 'Ok, we'll see how it goes'. It was like,
'Well, we're gonna do pre-production for two weeks, and then if we're
done, we're gonna do this, this and this...' It flowed really
smoothly and it allowed us to work in ways we hadn't before."
The biggest change this brought about was the emphasis Draiman
– a singer himself – put on the vocals. Even for fans, Matt
Heafy's vocal delivery has often proved problematic, and Gregoletto
admits that this is probably due to the band always recording them
last, when there hasn't been enough time to do them properly if
something goes wrong.
"Matt was recording vocals throughout the process. It wasn't
just a five day thing," he says. "It was spread out. As a
vocalist, David was mindful of making sure that Matt wasn't
over-doing it in the studio. There's problems we've had in the past
where we've had all the singing in the last week of recording. The
vocal chords go in a few days, and then you're sitting there
thinking, 'What are we going to do now?' It was totally opposite this
Vengeance Falls contains some of Trivium's slickest and most
streamlined song writing. Gone are the contrived cut-and-pastings of
riffs found on albums like Shogun, and in their place are smoother,
less predictable transitions and changes. Gregoletto suggests that
this was another positive result of working with David Draiman.
"Usually when we do a new record, we'll rehearse for two months
straight and have everything 100% set in stone. On In Waves, we
didn't really have a pre-production because we worked on the music
for so long, by the time Colin (Richardson) and Martyn (Ford) got
there, we were just machine-gun tight: this is how we needed it to
sound. It was kind of the opposite this time. We left things open so
when we worked with him we could add in riffs or change riffs
around," the bassist explains. "His big thing for us was that he
didn't want us to commit to every song. Meaning, 'Don't get too
attached to how the song is now, because when we work together, it
could change – for the better. I want you guys to be open to
changes. At least to try it'. And that was something we had never
done before."
Soundwave is something that Trivium has done before, in 2010 and
2012, and they'll be back for the big show next year as well.
"This is our third time down (with Soundwave) and it's
always amazing. We've never had a Soundwave or any Australian tour
that's never gone anything but great," Gregoletto says. "So...
the line-up looks great... I really have nothing to say – I know
it's gonna be awesome! I think we're playing on the same stage as
Megadeth – hopefully, so that's gonna be pretty bad ass."
When we last spoke with Trivium, Corey Beaulieu promised that
they'd return before the end of last year; the tour failed to
materialise, however, and it's now been quite a few years since the
band has toured Australia in their own right. Paolo Gregoletto
remains optimistic that they will be able to come back again as
"It's something we haven't done in a long time," he admits,
"and our fans ask us every time we've been down there. It's one of
those things where we'd really like it to work out. We'd really love
to bring down a headlining tour and bring down the full-on production
tour. I really hope we do. It's all really a matter of making it work
out timing wise. I think our Australian fans deserve a good,
ninety-minute set from us one of these days. I think we're on our
seventh or eighth time coming down, so I think if we can come down
that many times, there's enough support to keep bringing us back.
We're pretty thankful that we've had the chance to come back so many
times. It's one of our favourite places to play, and I think there's
a lot of bands that feel the same way about that. It's a lot like the
States in a way, just a more easy-going version of it! It's fun
touring there."
There are still horizons Trivium hasn't explored yet, but doors
continue to open for them. Paolo Gregoletto is just pleased that he
and his bandmates can keep making inroads on the worldwide touring
circuit. After a decade, it shows no sign of slowing.
"We've just announced our first show ever in South Africa.
That's definitely one to check off the list," he says cheerfully.
"And I think we're going to announce some Asian shows in places we
haven't played. That will be awesome. Anywhere we can go, anywhere
it's safe enough to play, I'm 100% for playing it. South America was
something we did a year ago that was unreal as well. We're just
really thankful that, already with this album coming out, the touring
cycle is already filling up and expanding. You've got to be pretty
thankful that after ten years you're not just still doing it, but
it's still growing and expanding. That's kind of one thing that we've
always agreed upon. We've got to keep expanding, keep it relevant and
keep it fun. That's what been happening for us."
Brian is Loud's editor. He also does a radio show on Wednesday nights on 89.1fm and occasionally contributes to RockYourLife.gr.

While continuing to develop and expand our capacity development, professional courses and training programmes, we are also conducting cutting-edge research into technology and policy.
If you are interested in helping or getting involved, please support us, or join the debate on our online communities – either climate change or Internet governance.
Diplo's plans include:
- Rapidly increasing the volume of capacity development mandates for climate change, e-diplomacy, and Internet governance.
- New courses on Global Health Diplomacy, and Humanitarian Diplomacy.
- Developing and adapting an open source online learning environment, using appropriate audio and video infrastructure.
- Comprehensive global research on public perception of diplomacy.
- Further development of tools for e-participation in global governance.
Special focus: Awareness building
We plan to conduct comprehensive global research on the perception of diplomacy, both with a lowercase 'd' – as a method for resolving conflict through the use of compromise and conciliation – and with an uppercase 'D' – as a system for managing modern international relations.
We will continue to promote the role of diplomacy and negotiations in solving global problems, with the key message that in the interdependent world, diplomacy is no longer just the ethically superior choice but a necessity for addressing complex issues like Internet governance and climate change negotiations.
Please join the debate on our blogs.
Special focus: Policy research using technology
Traditional policy research in global affairs has shown serious limitations. It has failed to anticipate some major developments, such as the 2008 financial crisis or the latest developments in the Arab world. Some of the existing limitations could be overcome through the use of new Internet-based techniques, such as crowd-sourcing. A new form of policy research could assist the international policy community to better understand the fast-changing world, and to better anticipate future crises.
We have developed a toolkit for Internet-based policy research which has been implemented in pilot projects in the field of Internet governance and climate change.
We are also investigating unorthodox topics with growing relevance for global policy, including emotions in global governance and negotiations, science and global policy, and managing diversity in global policy.

Is there a program that does what git-svn does, but in a situation where the repository on the server is git, and the developer uses svn?
I know that github.com allows svn access to the git repositories they host, but it doesn't look like they've released this project open source (yet?), and using their servers is not an option for me (not even their private repositories).
EDIT: I think what I am looking for is a parallel to 'git-cvsserver' -- git-svnserver. In a bit of searching, I found some 2-3 year old threads on the git mailing list, but it doesn't look like anyone has made significant progress. I hope someone can correct me on that.
Are there any git-svnserver projects currently underway? I'd hate to have duplicate effort, but it seems that GitHub is the farthest along, but nobody else can have it.

Your family really knows how to leverage social media; you've got more than 770,000 followers on your Twitter feed alone. Any tips?
I absolutely love Twitter and think it's such an important tool. I can go to two places—TMZ and Twitter—and pretty much tell you what's going on socially in about 30 seconds. I personally like to tweet something I'm really excited about and want to share that might enhance someone's life or just something silly I think might be interesting to a reader. I often think, Would I like to read this? Or would I want to know this? If the answer is yes, then I tweet it. I loved this juice my trainer turned me on to called Ritual Cleanse. So I tweeted about it . . . I was notgetting paid for it. Tweeting is also an amazing way for me to keep up with my kids! I just log on to Twitter, and I can pinpoint just about anything they are doing.
Do you have any rules for working with family?
Everyone has to have the same work ethic. If one is really lazy or drinks all night and can't get up in the morning, [it won't work]. Every single one of my girls gets up at the crack of dawn and works really hard. They work all day long until they fall down. And then they get up the next day and do it all over again.
How do you respond to critics who have suggested that you're exploiting your children?
[I respond] by working hard. My job is to take my family's 15 minutes of fame and turn it into 30. It's a very rewarding feeling when I go to sleep every night knowing I did the best I could for my family.
How do you psych yourself up for meetings? Any negotiating tips?
Ask for what you want. You'd be surprised—you just might get it.

Our roots go back more than 60 years. To appreciate how it all came to pass, you have to rewind more than a half century to K. R. Perry and a Ben Franklin variety store in Wards Corner, Norfolk, Virginia, and to Macon Brock's, Doug Perry's (son of K.R. Perry), and Ray Compton's adventure into $1.00 retailing. A highly successful concept was created using this single price point to build a national chain of stores. Here's a quick look at the high points of this amazing beginning.
K. R. Perry opened a Ben Franklin variety store in downtown Norfolk, Virginia, which he later renamed K&K 5&10.
Macon Brock, Doug Perry, and K.R. Perry started K&K Toys in Norfolk, Virginia. This mall concept toy store grew to over 130 stores on the East coast. The K&K 5&10 store continued to exist and served as the foundation for what would become Dollar Tree.
Macon Brock, Doug Perry, and Ray Compton started Only $1.00 with 5 stores, one in Georgia, one in Tennessee, and three in Virginia. The expansion of dollar stores was continued alongside K&K Toys stores, mostly in enclosed malls.
K&K Toys was sold to KB Toys;, a Melville Corp., and all assets were applied to the expansion of the dollar stores.
The name of the company (Only $1.00) was changed to Dollar Tree Stores to address what could be a multi-price-point strategy in the future. Part equity interest was sold to SKM partners, a private equity firm.
Dollar Tree went public on the NASDAQ exchange in March at $15 a share. Market cap was calculated at $225 million.
Dollar Tree acquired Dollar Bill$, Inc., a Chicago-based chain of 136 stores.
Dollar Tree broke ground on its first Distribution Center and its new Store Support Center, both located in Chesapeake, Virginia.
On December 10, the Company acquired 98-Cent Clearance Centers located in California.
A second distribution center was opened in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Bob Sasser was hired as Chief Operating Officer. Dollar Tree acquired Only $One Stores located in New York.
Dollar Tree acquired Dollar Express, a Philadelphia-based company, and also opened a new Distribution Center in Stockton, California.
Bob Sasser was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer. Dollar Tree opened two additional Distribution Centers, one in Savannah, Georgia, and one in Briar Creek, Pennsylvania.
Dollar Tree acquired Greenbacks, Inc., in Salt Lake City, Utah, and opened a new Distribution Center in Marietta, Oklahoma.
Bob Sasser was promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer. Macon Brock continues as Chairman of the Board. Dollar Tree opened its first store in North Dakota, which marked its operation of stores in all 48 contiguous states. The Company also opened two new Distribution Centers in Joliet, Illinois, and Ridgefield, Washington.
Dollar Tree celebrated its 20th year of retailing at a $1.00 price point and opened its 3,000th store. The Company also acquired 138 Deal$ stores from SUPERVALU INC.
Dollar Tree expanded the Briar Creek Distribution Center. The Company also crossed the $4 billion sales threshold. Market cap of the Company reached $3.29 billion.
2008 was another milestone year for Dollar Tree as the Company earned a place in the Fortune 500, the only company to do that "A Dollar at a Time." The Company also had the number-one performing stock in the entire Fortune 500 for that year.
By the close of the 2009 fiscal year, Dollar Tree had moved up more than 100 spots on the Fortune 500 list. The Company also opened a store in Washington, D.C., and purchased a new Distribution Center in San Bernardino, California.
Dollar Tree opened its 4,000th store and acquired 86 Canadian Dollar Giant Stores based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The stores are operated in British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. These are the first retail locations outside of the United States operated by Dollar Tree.
Dollar Tree continued its record of strong, consistent growth achieving sales of $6.63 billion, opening 278 new stores, and completing a 400,000 square-foot expansion of its Distribution Center in Savannah, Georgia.
Dollar Tree's steady growth continued as the Company opened 345 new stores and exceeded $7 billion in sales. Market cap was $9.13 billion at year-end.
In July, Gary Philbin was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer. Bob Sasser continues as Chief Executive Officer.
Dollar Tree celebrated the opening of its 5000th store.
On July 6, the Company acquired Family Dollar located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Too funny! I saw & thought the exact same thing while standing in the Costco line today! Absolutely delicious!

If I didn't want ice cream before, now I need to leave work and go get me some!
Thanksalot! :)

Oh my! What an AMAZING cover! And the scoops on the tray? Brilliant!
4thrilled by the thought SAYS:
Holy cow…those cookie ice cream sandwiches look simply delicious. I have to wipe my drool off my computer screen now.
5cyndi SAYS:
That cover is unbelievable! I did the same thing…
6Patricia SAYS:
I am speechless!
7jean SAYS:
I got mine the other day and I still drool every time I read it. Great cover photo!
8niki d. SAYS:
i did the exact same thing!! i am totally addicted to buying magazines, but i rarely pick up bon appetit. there was just something pretty delicious going on with that cover. :)
9RobynLynn W SAYS:
This came in the mail and I thought the same thing. Has to be one of the best food magazine covers ever – just made my mouth water. I took it to a doctor's appointment to read in the waiting room and saw several folks staring at it even.
10At Home with Kim Vallee SAYS:
That issue sits on the corner of my desk. And we do not have to feel bad since ice cream is good dessert option. I read yesterday that ice cream releases its sugar gradually into your blood after you've eaten it. Therefore, you're not left desperately craving for more. That is the theory anyway :-)
11peabody SAYS:
Wow, I thought the complete opposite. I thought the lighting was horrific. And the gobs of half melted ice cream looks really bad. I used to love that magazine and I actually think it has really gone down hill in the last year.
12happyathome SAYS:
Oh that doesn't work with the whole swim suit agenda! Looks so good!
13kim SAYS:
too funny! i wrote about that exact same picture the other day after spotting it on epicurious. that is one amazing scoop of ice cream!!
14steamy kitchen SAYS:
The photos are very edgy and kinda like fashion photography!
15Sharp Lily SAYS:
Me too! One of the best food photos and mag covers ever!

Those of you that have been reading this blog for some time know that I have a thing (read: obsession) for Tom Scheerer's designs. I was stalking his site as I often do to see what might be new.
I was delighted to see this great home he worked on in Southwest Harbor, Maine. I was just up there in April and it's a good thing I didn't know about this house. I might have been caught for stalking.
Wicker Wingbacks - This is certainly the perfect space for the pair.
I'm not a yellow wall person but I could hang in this room. I love that it's a little "grandma" but still chic.
This collection of hats displayed prominently makes me smile. It reminds me of my grandparents who never go outdoors without proper head coverage. If this was my home I'm sure the bust would be wearing one too.
So many different elements going on here but he pulls them all together seamlessly.
As much as I love the indoors, I would spend every pretty day out here.
And every pretty night dining al fresco.
Do you have a favorite Tom space?

My 10 year old daughter is tall and slender (wish I had her problem!) and skinny jeans at Target, Kohls, etc. that fit her waist are too short! Any ideas of where to find something that might fit her? Thanks! Debbie
My daughter needs the length of a size 10 pant, but the waist of a size 7 or 8. I recently ordered 10 slims from target, but when she tried them on the waist was still so big they couldn't stay up. Any suggestions about where to find slim pants? Heather
My eight-year-old son is a skinny guy, and he can only wear pants in slim sizes. Unfortunately, sweatpants don't ever seem to come in slim sizes, and I haven't been able to find him sweatpants that fit him. I even tried getting some in the girls' department (I figured I could cover up the sparkly heart with a patch) because I thought they might be cut slimmer, but they fell off him, too. I'm not a good enough sewer to take in the waist, and although I may yet give in and pay a tailor, I'd rather just find him some pants that already fit. Any suggestions? Does anyone want to sell us some outgrown sweatpants (or loose-fitting elastic-waisted cotton pants) that are the equivalent of an 8S?
I'm looking for soft comfortable jeans my 6 year old son will wear. He stopped wearing jeans about a year ago and will only wear sweatpants or those nylon-type athletic pants. He says the jeans are too stiff and he can't run and jump. He barely tolerates the cargo style cotton pants. Any recommendations for a brand name and where to buy them is greatly appreciated. He needs slim sizes but not the kind with the elastic inside waistband adjustment. He doesn't like the elastic ends poking out and scratching him. thank you! denim challenged
On closer inspection of my son's Land's End jeans, the adjustable elastic waistband is not sewn down at the ends. Looks like you might be able to cut the elastic out though, without compromising the build-in elastic at the back of the jeans.
My son is a long skinny one. Does anyone know where I can get pants that are slim AND long? Ideal would be Land's End climbers with extra length. Thank you in advance.
I need some recommendations on what kind of jeans to buy my boys. I've bought three pairs for my almost five year old in the past few months and all of them quickly got worn in the knees. Can anyone recommend extra durable jeans for active boys? Thanks!
My 2 yo daughter is slender, and it's difficult to find pants the right length that don't fall off her. Does anyone know of anything like a clip that I could use to tighten the waistband (and where to buy it)? I'm imagining something like the clips at the bottom of suspenders. I am not a sewer, so opening seams and shortening the elastic would be a daunting project. Alternatively, can anyone recommend brands that have small waistbands? Thanks. Sarah
I am looking for 100% cotton sweatpants for my elementary school age sons. I would love some that have pockets and reinforced knees. I'm not much of a shopper; I know they don't have them at Target or Mervyns. Any suggestions? Thanks! jen
My 7 year old girl is a size 8 in girth but very short for her age, so nothing seems to fit. I can hem, but many pants are unhemmable. I want to find a good brand for girls with tummies. I dont want shopping to become difficult already. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. anon
My nine-year-old son still doesn't want to wear jeans, only sweat-pants and others with elastic waist. The trouble is, he has a VERY slender waist, and as he gets taller (but not much wider), all of the pants are too big at the waist. Most of the pants have sewn-down elastic, so just snugging up the elastic isn't an option. Occasioanlly I just sew some for him, but I'd like to find a good source to buy some. Does anybody know a source for slim-size elastic waist pants, or jsut some that tend to run slim? Local, catalog, or on-line are all o.k. R.K.
My son prefers to wear sweat pants with an elastic waist but We're having trouble finding ones that have a finished cuff in his size. Mervyn's carries these in smaller sizes but not the larger sizes. I'd prefer not to buy the Hanna Andersson ones, since they are Very expensive. Has anyone seen these elsewhere? Thanks for any help.

Justin Sellers' four-year run as an Albuquerque Isotope has come to an end.
The Los Angeles Dodgers traded the shortstop to the Cleveland Indians for cash considerations on Sunday.
Sellers, 28, was designated for assignment last week when the Dodgers signed Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena, who also profiles as a glove-first player.
A one-time resident of the Albuquerque suburb of Rio Rancho, Sellers was drafted in the sixth round in 2005 by the Oakland A's. He was traded to the Cubs in February 2009 and then had his contract purchased by the Dodgers that April.
Sellers debuted with the Isotopes early in the 2010 season, batting .285/.371/.497 with 14 home runs and 56 RBI in 90 games. He hit even better in 89 games in 2011 (.304/.400/.537, 14 HR, 49 RBI) to earn his first big-league call-up.
In the Majors, Sellers struggled to repeat his Triple-A hitting stats. He would appear in 82 games with the Dodgers from 2011-13, batting just .199/.278/.301 with three homers and 17 RBI.
Sellers only appeared in two games with Albuquerque in 2012, missing most of that season after injuring his back when he dove into the stands chasing a foul ball in Los Angeles.
He was the Dodgers' opening day shortstop this past season, but was sent back to Albuquerque in May and ended up spending the rest of the year with the Isotopes, batting .270/.326/.429 with six homers and 65 RBI in 89 games.
With Sellers gone, it remains to be seen who will be the primary shortstop in Albuquerque this season. Much of the Isotopes' infield alignment will be determined after the Dodgers decide upon a second baseman out of a scrum of players that includes Alex Guerrero, Dee Gordon, Chone Figgins, Justin Turner and Miguel Rojas.
- The Dodgers signed two pitchers out of a tryout camp last week. Right-hander Steve Edlefsen, 28, has spent the bulk of the last three seasons at Fresno (Giants) and could crack the Isotopes' roster. Edlefsen went 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in 27 games with San Francisco from 2011-12. He was 2-2 with a 6.28 ERA in 47 games with Fresno this past season and has a career mark of 17-11, 4.13 with nine saves in 185 Triple-A games, all in relief.
- The Isotopes have released their promotions schedule for the upcoming season. There will be 14 fireworks shows, three 50-cent hot dog nights and of course the popular Dukes Retro Night (July 19).

Well, I just got done reading the precusor to an ad coming out during the Superbowl, and another push by the anti-gun mayor of New York. I know that he is done after this term but NYS and NYC needs to get their act together and get with the program. It's bad enough that they allow this crap in their own state, but to they and push it on the rest of the country is getting old.

Run Small
I really liked the sale price and jumped on these. I ordered the same size as my Shimano road shoes (46). Turns out this was a happy accident. The size charts are WRONG. I wear a size 11 mens running shoe and the 46 fits perfectly. The size charts and the box say a 46 equates to a 12.5 US size, not so.

For the Price, this is a great Tri Shoe
I usually wear a size 44 cycling shoe and after reading what other people have said about sizing I decided to get the 44. To my surprise and delight they fit. Very comfortable and enough room in the toe area. my foot size is 9.5 but when buying sneakers or cycling shoes I buy size 10 or 44 and these are perfect. Will be using them on my trainer first before I try them outside.
Yonkers, NY
Fit: Feels true to size
Excellent fit, slightly smaller than expected
This is an awesome shoe, I came from a Sidi which I found to be narrow. In contrast this shoes is very spacious in the toe box, the lining inside is great and not wearing socks is very comfortable. I suggest going 1/2 size bigger, which will allow the single strap to sit on top of the shoe and have better grip. Also the front and rear support is big enough to avoid damaging your cleats.
Pembroke Pines, Florida
Great shoes
Shoes are very comfortable even without socks. I recently used them for a tri I did, with no issues. The only thing to lookout for is the sizing chart which is totally off. I'm a size 11 and originally ordered the 45 (11 1/2 on the chart) -- I had to exchange them for a size 47.
Cedarhurst, NY
great shoe!
I ordered the men's version (however I'm a woman) and they fit well - european sizing was true to chart on swim outlet site. Installing cleats (which came with my new shimano pedals) was an easy process as well. I trained in & then wore these shoes for a sprint triathlon - they were easy in/out during transition - one velcro strap closure and the pull tab on heal made for a quick transition time. The mostly white uppers are boring, but I'm ok with that for this price! Great price & super quality
Kristen N.
More wide than long
I purchased a size 44 which according to the Louis Garneau sizing chart should be a 10.5 in US size. I normally wear a 10 but my experience with tri shoes is that they are tight so i go a half-size larger. These were too short in length but very wide and bulky through the middle. I was afraid to go larger because it felt like my foot would be rolling around in the heel and mid section. After riding with them a few times, the length is definitely too short while the middle and heel are loose. Also, the heel is high and irritates the back of my ankle. You may like these if you have a short, wide foot, but for me these just don't feel comfortable.
Good Triathlon Shoe for Big Feet
I bought these shoes to use for triathlons, so I use them without socks. I've put about 100 miles on them so far training. Very comfortable on my size 50 feet. I seem to get good power transfer with these. Would definitely recommend them.

Twitter Goes Mad With Zerrie Engagement Rumours
Wha? Huh? OMG! WTF!
The Twittosphere was getting itself worked up last night over claims that Zayn and Perrie were planning to get married.
Directioners had started retweeting a message by someone that Zayn was all set to marry Perrie next February, though the date was supposedly going to be February 31st – which doesn't exist.
When Zayn was supposed to have proposed we're not actually sure.
Anyway, we quite like the sound of the rumour, and would love to have a big 1D wedding next year.
It would surely be the biggest wedding event ever – quite possibly beating Prince William and Kate.
We can just imagine Nialler getting a bit tipsy and wrapping his tie around his head like Rambo.
Aww Zayn, can you please propose to Perrie this weekend so our fantasies can come true?

The prototype was waaaaaay nicer, man. All you had to do to make the front end stronger, was add that extra layer of metal, like the Last Herb frame has at the front end. I'm sure there's a technical term for it, but I don't know what it is. It's like ... more »

Added a product review for Shimano PD-MX30 Flat Pedal 3/20/2010 12:58 PM
The Good: Good if you want to wear normal trainers, and just cruise around the streets etc. Has a nice subtle concave shape to it, so your feet sit snugly into the pedal. Also has adjustable pins, if you need the added grip.
The Bad: A bit chunky if you prefer the more slimline look. And a bit dated, and also a tad on the heavy side.
Overall: Excellent all-round pedal with a history and a pedigree. Perfect if you don't want to shred your trainers up.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is looking into how delays at ports and other loading and unloading facilities may be affecting driver compliance with hours-of-service rules designed to increase safety.
Union Pacific's failure to maintain its track and equipment resulted in broken and sheared lag bolts, which caused the June 3 derailment of a train near Mosier, Ore., according to a preliminary report from the Federal Railroad Administration.
Meanwhile, the pound slid the most on record to its weakest since 1985, while the yen rallied on demand for haven assets, following Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Since a February low, total returns on shares of A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S have climbed 24 percent despite declining oil and freight rates, and as of Tuesday, only four of 29 analysts recommended selling the stock.
The 10 STS cranes will be the tallest in service at any port in the United States, capable of handling ultra-large containerships with capacities of up to 20,000 TEUs, according to port terminal operator APM Terminals.
Neither Ports America nor owner Oaktree Capital will discuss a possible sale of the nation's largest port terminal operator, but Yildirim Holdings President Robert Yildirim said talks have advanced to the "second round."

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bkbond Beautiful mirror, great price Got this mirror on sale, great price. It is absolutely beautiful. Plan to hang it above a small vanity in our guest bathroom. Totally pleased with this purchase, would definitely recommend it. February 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by flipout soft and pretty The mirror looks very soft and feminine and it's good quality. It actually looks smaller in person than the pics on the website. I believe it's due to the thick rims that give the mirror a smaller coverage. The packaging was perfect. March 22, 2015

BERKELEY, Calif.- No. 37 Stanford knocked off No. 16 California 4-2 on Saturday afternoon, spoiling Senior Day in Berkeley and earning a signature win that will likely secure an NCAA Tournament berth.
The Cardinal (14-4, 5-2 Pac-12) had spent all season successfully grinding out tight matches (4-0 in outcomes decided by a 4-3 margin) and beating opponents it was favored against. Instead, Stanford's four losses have all come against top-10 teams.
Saturday's victory should provide Stanford, which has climbed 15 spots in the national rankings over the last two weeks, another boost in the poll. The Cardinal, which also owns a quality win over No. 22 Boise State, now enters next week's Pac-12 Championships as the No. 3 seed ahead of the Golden Bears (14-6, 4-3 Pac-12).
John Morrissey's 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Ben McLachlan at the No. 1 spot clinched the match for Stanford, which had been blanked 7-0 by California back on Feb. 22 at Taube Family Tennis Stadium.

He's a former Olympian. He's won gold and silver medals in skiing. He's an icon at Deer Valley Resort and has a lodge named after him. He's Stein Eriksen, Deer Valley's Director of Skiing, and today is his birthday.
Born December 11, 1927, Eriksen turns 86 years old. To mark the special occasion, today was officially named Stein Eriksen Day by former Utah Governor Mike Leavitt.
At the 1952 Winter Olympics held in Oslo, Norway, Eriksen won a gold medal in giant slalom and a silver medal in slalom. Eriksen competed for Norway, but moved to the U.S. shortly after to work as a ski instructor and ski school director at resorts across the country. Eriksen had stints at Boyne Mountain in Michigan, Heavenly Valley in California, Sugarbush in Vermont and Aspen in Colorado before moving to Park City in the 1970s. He worked at Park City Mountain Resort until 1981 when he was asked by Edgar Stern to work for him at Deer Valley. Eriksen has been there ever since, serving at Director of Skiing and host at the Stein Eriksen Lodge. And he even has a black-diamond run named for him, Stein's Way, on Deer Valley's terrain. Skiers and Deer Valley guests can often find Eriksen on the property, attending celebrity events, dining at his namesake lodge, or even skiing (rumor has it that at one time the lodge displayed Eriksen's ski outfit for the day in its lobby so skiers could recognize him out on the mountain).
The Park City Museum's Silver Queen Ball will honor Eriksen later this month. Museum director Sandra Morrison said that honoring Eriksen was an obvious choice based on all that he has accomplished in Park City.
Happy Birthday, Stein Eriksen!

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A monkey riding dog has overshadowed Madonna's halftime anticipation. Madonna is set to perform the halftime show at the Superbowl in January. And while her set list and details about her performance made news this weekend, Madonna was ultimately overshadowed by another football halftime performance … in which a monkey rides a dog.
NFL anticipation was riding into Sunday's Patriots vs. Broncos game. SNL had done its own sketch about Tim Tebow and God. And then news wasn't good for Denver going into the halftime. Tom Brady had pulled his team from troubles in the first quarter to a 27-16 lead at the halftime.
Suddenly for a minute, Tom Brady and Tim Tebow were no longer the stars of the game. Something slightly unexpected happened – a monkey riding a dog for a halftime show. The monkey, dressed as a cowboy, ran that dog all across the stadium. Instantly, the video became a monstrous hit.
As one viewer later noted "I was watching NFL Gameday Highlights and Rich Eisen said "Here's a video of a monkey riding a dog" and I was like what the .. ?" Another added "I'm a Bronco fan and I was really mad that we lost today, but man this made my day that is hilarious."
No word if the monkey and dog will open for Madonna this Superbowl. Perhaps they could ride onto the field and deliver Madonna some hydrangeas.

Chad Ocho Cinco is a mystery to many people. First, he earned the reputation as football's bad boy as a member of the Cincinatti Bengals. Next, he changed his last name to Ocho Cinco. Now, he's an author.
Last year, Ocho Cinco published his autobiography by the name, well you know. And it's pretty decent. It has commentary from Chad himself, fellow football players Ray Lewis and Michael Irvin, his coaches Charles Collins, and his brother Bo Johnson. The book is decent but it's hard to give a real review because it is an autobiography and it's just him reviewing his story. Here is the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Ocho-Cinco-What-Football-Thrown/dp/0307460398

"When you like to style, you style your whole life–your home– yourself…everything!" she said. & a little light bulb went off in my head. Of course you do!
I was in Anthropologie meeting up with a client (who also happens to be the personal shopper at our local store) & we got lost in our love of pretty things. How we like to dress & decorate and how we find our inspiration. We were in the kitchen section of the store…my little happy place. The place I go when I am in a creative rut. & as I was picking up tea cups & dishtowels and admiring aprons that need not be added to my hefty collection I was thinking about how my brain works. & about the many women who just don't follow how I think & plan & execute when it comes to style & direction. & I thought…I can help! Part of what I love to do is make the seemingly complicated simple…so where do we start? This is always the hard part. But it is also the easiest. I'll break this process down for you. Hopefully you'll find it useful as you shop for outfits for your family photo shoot, decorate your home & dress yourself in the morning!
STEP ONE: Find one piece that has all the colors. & build around that ONE piece. Pull your color palette from there. & stick to it.
Whether fashion or home decor you have to start with something inspirational. & keep it simple. This isn't hard. You know what you love. Choose something that speaks to you. You might spend a little time finding that one inspiration piece, but once you do…the rest is easy. It can be a tea cup. a dishtowel. an apron. (see why I am at anthro all the time?!)
So here's an example. I met up with Michele of Pinkle Toes Photography (you know her as part of The Creative Mama team!) last summer to have our family pictures taken. & here's what you see:
+madras plaid dress (inspiration piece)
+solid, yet tailored dress for mama
+solid, yet subtly patterned shirt for dad.
+ accessories pulling out the pops of color in the madras dress (belt, bracelets, shoes etc.)
Why does it work? There is something that ties it all together: that little dress. Nothing competes too much. Nothing is overbearing. It's harmonious.
STEP TWO: Be mindful of your patterns & textures.
A good rule of thumb is to pick one busy/small scale pattern, one bold/large scale pattern, a simple stripe & solids with texture for added interest. The bed (by moxii–LOVE!) below is a perfect example of this theory. You see:
+busy/small scale patterned quilt with the color palette (inspiration piece)
+bold/large scale patterned green & white pillow
+stripy pillow with all the colors
+textured solids & neutrals
Source: moxii.com via miss shawna on Pinterest
Now can you apply the second rule to the first family picture? Sure can! Here is another example:
+picture on wall (inspiration piece)
+ bold/large scale patterned curtains
+busy/small scale patterned pillows
+stripy rug with all of the palette's colors
+textured neutrals (pillows, throw, woven blinds)
+ chairs that act like bold accessories
Source: houseofturquoise.com via miss shawna on Pinterest
STEP THREE: Overbuy. Play with it. Return half.
Have you ever watched Rachel Zoe's show? Have you seen the amount of stuff her staff buys & returns? This is a "trial" period. Not everything is going to look great. & as much as you'd like to plan everything in one store, in one fell swoop, real magic happens if you collect over time. It's all a dynamic collaboration & balancing act. (just don't forget to actually make the returns!!)
Whenever I style a room or a photo shoot or just myself in the morning, there is a PILE of stuff to choose from. It's the editing that matters. I can't look at the pieces individually & fall in love, it's about the big picture. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Period. No matter how. cute. the. shoes. :]
Now. For some fashion. This is an example of some wild colors thrown together, yet they all work because of that handbag. The bag is the inspiration piece that pulls the peridot earrings & mustard shoes into the look. Note:
+bold patterned bag (inspiration piece)
+busy earrings
+textured solid dress
+stripy shoe
I happen to like mixing colors like this even WITHOUT inspiration pieces included in the look itself…
Source: all-things-lovely.blogspot.com via miss shawna on Pinterest
If you want to mix colors but feel like you need a place to start and don't know where to begin, don't hesitate to choose ANYTHING as an inspiration piece, then build your outfit around that. You don't always have to wear it! For example:
You're surfing pinterest one night & you fall in love with this space. You love the colors? Make it into an outfit! Note the colors: coral (walls/duvet), grey (headboard), camel (bench), pewter (side tables).
Source: houseofturquoise.com via miss shawna on Pinterest
So here's an outfit that can be derived from the above inspiration piece:
Notice the colors are the same–& are not necessarily colors you'd walk into the store & instantly put together. But it works!
Source: juliedmonds.blogspot.com via miss shawna on Pinterest
Often, it just takes something to get the creativity going. One little inspiration piece can be the catalyst for MAGIC! A well coordinated family photo shoot. A beautiful room. A very well styled outfit. Just start searching around you, inspiration is EVERYWHERE! Happy styling!

Fidel's Flatterers

Touting Fidel and Cuba's Communist Revolution
Despite decades of poverty and repression, reporters frequently found ways to praise Castro's communist regime, often parroting the Havana government's own claims about high literacy rates and improved health care, as if such achievements would balance out the fact that Cuba is a police state. Reporters also often exhibited a giddy excitement about the dictator himself, thrilled by Castro's personal charisma while often blind to the suffering Castro and his revolution inflicted on those who disagreed with his tyranny.
Here are a few of the more gushing quotes, some of which point to longer write-ups in our MediaWatch and CyberAlert newsletters, while others have appeared in the MRC's bi-weekly Notable Quotables newsletter.
"He [Fidel Castro] said he wanted to make a better life for Cuba's
poor. Many who lived through the revolution say he succeeded....Today
even the poorest Cubans have food to eat, their children are educated
and even critics of the regime say Cubans have better health care than
most Latin Americans."
— Reporter Paula Zahn on Good Morning America, April 3, 1989. (With WMV video/MP3 audio)
"While Castro is an odd man out in a hemisphere increasingly headed
by young free-market democrats, he still commands respect and awe."
— CNN reporter Frank Sesno on the March 20, 1990 PrimeNews.
"They are the healthiest and most educated young people in Cuba's
history. For that, many of them say they have Castro and his socialist
revolution to thank....If they long for the sweeping changes occurring
in Eastern Europe, they are not saying so publicly....To the extent he
can, Castro has been rewarding young people. For example, on their
return home [from Angola], the 300,000 Cubans sent to Africa were first
in line for housing, jobs, and education. Such benevolence breeds
dedication, some young people say."
— NBC reporter Ed Rabel, April 1, 1990 Nightly News. (With WMV video/MP3 audio)
For two years, PBS refused to air Nobody Listened, a documentary account of the harsh treatment of Cuba's political prisoners. In August 1990, PBS finally capitulated but "balanced" the damning expose of Castro's prisons with the explicitly pro-communist film, The Uncompromising Revolution by Saul Landau, Senior Fellow at the radical Institute for Policy Studies. Landau followed Castro around the countryside, describing how the "force of nature" gave Cuba "action-packed decades of experiments in collective survival and socialist living." Landau tingled his way through the hour like an overaged groupie: "Fidel touched this young machine adjuster and the man enjoyed a mild ecstasy. I know the feeling." To PBS, "balance" meant giving a pro-Castro propagandist equal time with the dictator's victims. (MediaWatch, September 1990)
"If nothing else, the Cuban revolution has eliminated abject need.
The cost may be generalized poverty and zero political pluralism, but,
even with shortages, there is no starvation here. Education and medical
care are assured for all. And, unlike in most of Latin America, you
don't see naked or even shoeless children in the streets. When Castro
speaks of the need to defend the gains of revolution, he means a level
of social welfare rare in the underdeveloped world."
— Washington Post Assistant Foreign Editor Don Podesta, April 28, 1991 "Outlook" article.
In April 1991, Ted Turner's TBS station ran a two-hour homage, Portrait of Castro's Cuba. Narrator James Earl Jones read a gushing, pro-Castro script: "Incessantly involved in affairs around the globe, this island nation has won the respect, sometimes grudgingly, of countries twenty times its size. Castro's Cuba stands tall in the ranks of nations....Today is a passionate display of national pride. These men [Cuban soldiers returning from Angola] are symbols of all that Castro's Cuba has aspired to be: A nation to be reckoned with. A major player on the world stage. Defiant, spirited, free." To show how the Cuban people feel about Fidel, the program quoted an armed militia member: "We want Fidel, he is our father, he is the father of our people. The Revolution is our mother and we feel proud." (MediaWatch, May 1991)
Covering the 1991 Pan Am Games in Cuba, ABC's sports commentators showed why they belonged in the locker room and out of politics. In a July 27, 1991 special, Fidel Castro, One on One, ABC's Brent Musburger gave Cuban communism a positive review: "There are many Cubans who find their lives much better here than before the Revolution. Medical care is free. Education is also state-funded. Cuba's 97 percent literacy rate is among the highest in the world." And in his interview with Castro himself, ABC's Jim McKay flattered Fidel: "You have brought a new system of government, obviously, to Cuba but the Cuban people do think of you, I think, as their father. One day you're going to retire. Or one day, all of us die. Won't there be a great vacuum there, won't there be something that will be difficult to fill? Can they do it on their own?" (MediaWatch, August 1991) (With WMV video/MP3 audio)
"The Roads Are Potholed and the Luxuries Few, Yet Many People Say They're Better Off"
— New York Times headline, August 18, 1991.
"The government points out rightly that Cuba's standard of living
is better than in many other countries of the Caribbean and Latin
America. There are no filthy children scrambling over garbage heaps to
compete with vultures for scraps of food, as in El Salvador. There are
no death squads preying upon the weakest and poorest, as in Guatemala.
There is none of the festering disease and crushing poverty that is on
display in any village in Haiti or Honduras or Nicaragua. The violent
crime, random killing, and manic drug trade that are Colombia's
scourge, and Jamaica's, are practically unknown in Cuba."
— Washington Post reporter Lee Hockstader, September 12, 1991.
"Considered one of the most charismatic leaders of the 20th
century....[Fidel] Castro traveled the country cultivating his image,
and his revolution delivered. Campaigns stamped out illiteracy and even
today, Cuba has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world."
— Katie Couric reporting on NBC's Today, February 13, 1992. (With WMV video/MP3 audio)
"The island may have been a thorn in Washington's side, but it was a
beacon of success for much of Latin America and the Third World. For
decades, Cuba's health care and education systems were touted as great
achievements of the revolution....Some say the trade ban has never
given Cuba a chance to see whether or not Castro's socialism might
— Correspondent Giselle Fernandez, September 4, 1994 CBS Evening News.
"Like these young dancers, Carlos [Acosta] benefited from Cuba's
communist system because it not only recognizes physical talent, it
nurtures it, whether it's baseball, boxing, or ballet."
— CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Christiane Amanpour [also with CNN] on a star of London's Royal Ballet, May 21, 2000.
"There's a good chance that Fidel Castro, who marks his 78th
birthday today, could keep going for another 40 years, the Cuban
leader's personal physician says....Cuban officials say the same
revolutionary zeal that has driven nearly five decades of socialism can
overcome the ravages of time....At least 40 different Cuban research
groups are said to be at work unlocking the secrets of aging. The
research ranges from studying special diets to basic research on
— Reporter Eric Sabo in an August 13, 2004 USA Today story headlined, "Cuba pursues a 120-year-old future."
"With 66,567 doctors, Cuba boasts a ratio of 1 doctor per 170
citizens, compared with 1 doctor per 188 residents in the United
States, according to the World Health Organization. The emphasis on
preventive, personalized care has yielded life expectancy rates almost
identical to those in the United States, and infant mortality rates
even lower than its northern neighbor's, WHO data show. Advocates of
the Cuban system point out that all Cubans are entitled to free
healthcare and medicine, while more than 44 million American residents
— nearly one of six people — have no health insurance."
— Boston Globe reporter Indira A.R. Lakshmanan in an August 25, 2005 front-page article.
In 2006, after Fidel Castro's declining health forced him to turn power over to his brother Raul, many members of the U.S. media fell over themselves in describing the dictator in poetic terms. On Fox News's Geraldo At Large, host Geraldo Rivera went overboard in a commentary about Castro's legacy, using flowery descriptions such as "the iron man of revolutionary rhetoric," "romantic revolutionary," and even "charismatic commie." An awe-struck Rivera recalled: "He is a towering historic figure, and meeting and interviewing him was one of the most memorable experiences of a young reporter's life." (CyberAlert, August 3, 2006) (With WMV video/MP3 audio)
"When outsiders think of Cuba, it's often the lack of political
freedoms and economic power that comes to mind. Cubans who have chosen
to stay on the island, however, are quick to point out the positives:
safe streets, a rich and accessible cultural life, a leisurely
lifestyle to enjoy with family and friends....For all its flaws, life
in Castro's Cuba has its comforts, and unknown alternatives are not
automatically more attractive....Many foreigners consider it propaganda
when Castro's government enumerates its accomplishments, but many
Cubans take pride in their free education system, high literacy rates
and top-notch doctors. Ardent Castro supporters say life in the United
States, in contrast, seems selfish, superficial, and — despite its
riches — ultimately unsatisfying."
— Associated Press writer Vanessa Arrington in an August 4, 2006 dispatch, "Some Cubans enjoy comforts of communism."

PRR Frequently Asked Questions
PRR Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Middle States Periodic Review Report (PRR)?
The Middle States Accreditation Report, which includes an extensive self-study and site visit by external visitors, occurs every 10 years. Duquesne's last accreditation review occurred in 2007-2008.
The PRR is a mid-point review that occurs 5 years after the accreditation review. It is a substantive report of about 50 pages plus appendices. We are required to review our accomplishments of the past five years and a summary of our strategic plans for the next five years.
There are three important areas which the PRR must address: assessment, budget, and the linkage of assessment results with planning and budget.
When is our PRR due to Middle States?
Our report is due on June 1, 2013.
Who will produce the PRR document?
Dr. Alexandra Gregory, Associate Provost/AAVP, is the Accreditation Liaison Officer of the University. She is responsible for coordinating the report and will work with various entities throughout the University on the report. A PRR Advisory Workgroup will assist Dr. Gregory.
What data are used to generate the report?
Data for the PRR will be taken from existing reports from various offices, such as Enrollment Management, Institutional Research and Planning, and Management and Business. We will also list concrete examples of programs that have done an outstanding job of using assessment to shape their strategic or academic planning. These examples will be used with permission of the program which is our usual practice.
Who will review the PRR?
The draft report will be reviewed by many stakeholders throughout the University, including the PRR Advisory Workgroup. A draft will be placed on DORI for review and comment by the entire University community in early Spring 2013 and the Board will also review the document. The final document will be submitted to Middle States after revisions based upon feedback.
How can I find out more about the PRR?
The link to the Handbook for Periodic Review Reports is: http://www.msche.org/publications/PRR-Handbook-2011-FINAL.pdf
You can also contact Dr. Gregory at email@example.com or 412.396.4525.

Can Will Yeatman help Dolphins beat Patriots?
Will Yeatman doesn't look like your average tight end.
He's built like a defensive lineman, and a chiseled one.
He runs like a linebacker, which might explain why he was a center-forward for Maryland's lacrosse team.
The Miami Dolphins added him this week, claiming the rookie off the waiver wire, believing he might be an upgrade over Jeron Mastrud. He's presently on a tryout, but it couldn't come at a better time.
Yeatman spent the past month in camp with the New England Patriots, and coincidentally – or not – the Patriots just so happens to be the team the Dolphins face this week.
Yeatman admits he's been downloaded for Patriots info, but Bill Belichick's getting the same kind of insider feedback on Brian Daboll's offense considering AJ Edds was claimed by the Patriots this week.

37 cocaine backpacks were found by Spanish authorities that contained 2,000 pounds of the substance after they were spotted floating off a beach near Valencia. The backpacks were tagged with tracking systems so smugglers would know where they were located.
MyFoxNY.com reports Feb. 4 that the instance was confirmed on the Civil Guard's website Tuesday. Traffickers were trying to move the cocaine from Malaga to Valencia.
The cocaine backpacks were dropped from a boat or other sailing vessel further out at sea. The criminals probably hoped they would get away with the smuggling effort, but a statement from police said "five Spaniards were arrested and 72,000 euros ($97,000) and jewelry confiscated." CNN reported that the confiscation also consisted of luxury watches, computer equipment, and phones.
It sounds like this smuggling attempt failed miserably for the drug traffickers.
This was quite a sophisticated operation in moving drugs across the sea. It is unknown how many are successful, but chances are it is a lot. Cocaine stuffed into backpacks meant less of a chance that the criminals would get caught, but police were able to seize the drugs this time and bust the traffickers.
