The Livingston County Sheriff's office investigated a report of a local citizen being ripped off $3,600 to a scam artist posting on Craigslist. The scammer listed he was selling a utility ATV and the local resident believed they were buying from a person in Carroll County, Mo. After all the email communication, the buyer wired $3,600 dollars to the seller and has since learned the posting was from a scammer and the person claiming to be from Carrollton was actually in the United Kingdom. "Typically, with these types of crimes there is very little chance of recovering any money for the victim," said Sheriff Steve Cox. "Fortunately, our citizen was not out more money and this serves as a classic example for people to be extremely cautious when doing business online. These criminals have evolved over the years to use all kinds of trickery to make their ploy to appear legitimate and safe."

Posts AND threads going missing?....
I know a thread went missing - but I thought I'd posted here over the past couple of days, and that post seems to have gone as well (or maybe that 6th pint of Harvey's mixed with homebrew while watching the Womack on Jools killed off my last brain cell). Maybe Yahoo/Eurosport have introduced an AI censor that looks at the posts and if they're not up to standard, deletes them.
Good result against Reading again. With Woolwich looking poor against the Saints, it was another good day at the office. Haven't seen the game as yet though, but the reports seem to piant a bright picture.
I'm just about to play another game of the old 4-2-4 TAF Premier League Soccer that I got for Chrimbo. Hope the pitch is flat this time, as my silky passing moves were interrupted last time by the ironed in creases in the surface. I may use the game as a predictor for the next Spurs game - although I think any 10-0 score is unlikely in reality.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

All in all it's been a pretty good festive season points wise, display wise, and opponent-results wise (our near competitors in the league I mean - thanks 'Arry for a cheeky favour today, I'd have settled for Chelski getting a draw).
BUT: while we've had some comprehensive wins, we've been playing teams we 'should' be able to beat, and arguably should have beaten them more thoroughly. Two points in case: 1) vs Villa, at half time we'd had 15 corners to Villa's 1, and yet the score was still 0-0, and 2) the stats from the Reading gam: https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/286153254826557441/photo/1.
Now, obviously we're playing in 'the right way' and getting in the right places, but you'd think if you get 30 shots you should maybe get more than 3 in the net. I'm really not complaining about the outcomes, but I'd like to see the team getting a touch more clinical again; we won't have games like these every week and have the luxury of missing 90% of our shots.
In particular 2 things I noticed:
1) we are slipping up on set pieces again (hence the 15 corners, no goals) - we started to improve with them a while back, but it's disappointing at present.
2) we've been disappointing when 'straight' attacking; against Sunderland we were all over the first half possession, but our goals came once we 'let them have it' a bit in the second half and scored on the counter, and it was the same with Villa. While that's sort of to be expected given the opposition (i.e. when we're attacking they'll happily park the bus), it goes back to us needing to be more clinical when in front of goal.
I'm really not complaining, I'm very happy with 10 out of the last 12 points, especially with how the teams around us have done, I just think we need to be aware that it's not necessarily been as easy as the scorelines imply and consider how it'll be against higher placed teams. The transfer window's probably come at a good time to help resolve this.

I watched the Reading game last night. Again we seem to be 'getting there'. Still not that sparkle, but individual players seem to be doing their bit. Gyfi seemed far more composed, and Lennon continued to play well. Naughton, after a real dodgy start to the season, seems to be finding his confidence - still not perfect but far better - likewise for Walker who seemed to have a severe confidence issue.
As for the goals and being clinical - well Ade had missed two or three good chances over the past few games. Maybe that will change now he's scored? And where last season (and to a degree this) the shots from outside the box from VdV and Bale were hitting home. Now we don't have a VdV replacement in the scoring stakes in Dembele/Dempsey/Gylfi - as yet. But Dempsey and Gylfi both look far 'brighter' than they did - so maybe they'll pick up on the goals in the second half of the season?

It was a nice apartment we lived in and everything we needed was in the apartment.
We could easily find it from the description that we had received. It was clean and cozy. The only downside was that we did not really could find or get to the dumpster and had to leave waste bags stand. That we had a little difficulty with. We have enjoyed our stay in munich which is a lovely town.
Anne Marie Lorenzen
Det var en dejlig lejlighed vi boede i og alt hvad vi havde brug for var i lejligheden.
Vi kunne nemt finde den ud fra beskrivelsen som vi havde modtaget. Der var rent og hyggeligt. Det eneste minus var, at vi ikke rigtig kunde finde eller komme ind til affaldscontaineren og måtte lade affaldsposerne stå. Det havde vi det lidt svært med. Vi har nydt vores ophold i münchen, som er en dejlig by.

NC lottery officials say check your ticket closely
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:11 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Take a look at the tickets you bought for the record Powerball drawing because they may offer a prize whether you win the jackpot or not.
Executive Director Alice Garland of the N.C. Education Lottery is asking players to check their numbers closely Thursday. Garland said the Powerball game offers a variety of significant prizes in addition to the jackpot, which had reached $550 million prior to Wednesday night's drawing.
While no one picked all five numbers and the Powerball on Saturday, Nov. 24, there were 68,017 winning tickets in North Carolina from that drawing. Prizes ranged from $4 to $40,000 and totaled $527,442.
Garland said North Carolina has had five jackpot winners.

The National Weather Service has issued a warning to the area.
Unseasonably dry conditions over the past two to three months have led to moderate to severe drought conditions across the region. The combination of very dry vegetation... daytime highs in the upper 90s to lower 100s... and low relative humidity values... create an elevated fire danger through the region.
Burn bans are in effect in numerous locations... including the Missouri State Conservation areas. Persons are urged to check with local authorities concerning laws and regulations regarding outdoor burning in their area. Even if not prohibited, any outdoor burning should be done with extreme care if not postponed all-together.
Be extremely cautious with cigarettes, matches, barbecue pits and any other open flames or sparks. These weather conditions are favorable for rapidly spreading grass and brush fires.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Oct. 29, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Right now, eight families in Richmond County are moving off the streets and into more than just a new house. For them, it's a new start.
The Action Ministries Transitional Housing program is in 19 counties in Georgia. Richmond County only had two houses until recently a grant gave them eight more. Now, a total of 10 families have a house and the chance of a new home.
The King family graduated from the program in December 2011. Cecilia King, her husband and 9- and 18-year-old grandsons spent two years in the program.
"We're a blessed family and we know it," Cecilia said.
It's hard to imagine just a short time ago, they were homeless.
"We had started to struggle financially," she said. "I'd had back surgery and I wasn't working full time and my husband was, but he wasn't making enough money to keep us into our own house so we found ourselves homeless."
That's when the family of four moved in to a Residence Inn.
"We are the face of homelessness, we are," she said.
They lived there for nine months until they found out about the Action Ministries program. At first, it sounded too good to be true.
"I looked at my husband and I said, 'She said it's real' and you just couldn't slap smile off our faces," she said. "You just couldn't."
For two years, they kept on smiling, until they had saved enough for their own place.
"It allowed me time to get my strength back up to where I could work full time," King said.
A case manager is assigned to each family.
"That case manager can help them with finances is a big part, budgeting, they help with locating jobs, resumes, interviewing skills," explained Danielle Meyer, the case manager for the King family.
"Danielle taught us about our finances, which is proof that it's never too late for an old dog to learn new tricks," King said.
Homelessness can happen to anyone. Experts say one out of every three families are one paycheck away from being on the street or in a hotel.
"People need to realize that the face of homelessness can be the person sitting right next to them," King said.
"The need is huge," Meyer said. "There are so many families right now that are struggling. There are families that are living paycheck to paycheck and one major catastrophe is all it would take for them to end up in a hotel."
For the King family, it was in that hotel that they realized it's the little things that make a house a home.
"You know where it really hit home for us," Cecilia said, "we went over to our youth pastor's home at Halloween just before we moved into our house and we'd been in this hotel room. Four of us, where there's two beds and not a couch and we sat on their couch and it felt like a home. We didn't realize how much we'd missed a couch."
Now for Cecilia's family, there truly is no place like home.
"What would you have done without this program?" asked News 12s Hope Jensen.
"We probably would still be in a residence hotel living day to day trying to figure out how we were gonna ever get ourselves back on our feet again," King said.
This will be the first Thanksgiving in three years the King family will spend in their own home.
Cecelia's story is just one of many. To qualify for the program, you must have children under 18, be homeless or at an immediate risk for homelessness and pass a drug and background test. There's also an interview.
If you want to help Action Ministries, La-Z-Boy is having a furniture trade-in until Oct. 31 to help fill the eight new houses. You can find information on that here. If you want to help Action Ministries by donating, click here.

Name Change or Game Change? Infiniti Gives its Vehicles 'Q' Labels
In the car business, the more important question may not be, "What's in a name," but rather, "what's in a nomenclature?"
At least that's what Infiniti is suggesting with its announcement of a new family tree of alphanumeric labels for its vehicles.
Beginning with the 2014 model year, the luxury unit of Nissan Motor will identify its cars with the Q prefix and its SUVs and crossovers with QX. Numbers following the letters will indicate each vehicle's position on the brand's food chain, replacing the old numbers that represented engine displacement.
The move halts Infiniti's long slide into an alphabet soup of vehicles that few seemed able to remember, including the G, M, EX, FX, JX and QX. It also sets the stage for the planned unveiling of the company's latest luxury sport sedan, the Q50, at next month's Detroit auto show.

Airport authority hikes spring marketing budget

rt can market the same old way but with spending more money? Looks like old 'more Moore' is up to his tricks again. Heck, there's no money to defend against a lawsuit but there is to keep doing the same old not working thing.
Time to get someone in there who knows what he's doing. Moore can't leave and stop hurting the MOV soon enough.

How about taking some of that money and putting it into cleaning up the restaurant? There's finally a decent chef running the place (woman I saw cooking in there used to be at DaVinci's) and the food is now really good, but the carpet and furniture need replaced badly. Spruce the place up a bit and you've got a winner there! At least that'll help you keep the lights on while you're trying to get more people flying in and out.

Thanksgiving Travel Survival Guide: Bad Weather Edition
Thanksgiving week travel will be delayed for millions this week as a storm moves through the Midwest and across the East Coast, but flight cancellations shouldn't be too severe if most big airports get mostly rain instead of snow and ice.
Forecasts call for areas on the East Coast along the I-95 corridor to see rain out of the storm while inland cities such as Pittsburgh and Syracuse, N.Y., are expected to get hit with more snow. Chicago is forecast for only flurries and accumulation of less than an inch. But if the snow and ice hit big airports from Atlanta up through Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston this week, a lot of travelers may have trouble getting to Thanksgiving tables with family and friends.
Dallas braced for major ice impact Sunday night into Monday morning, but Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field stayed above freezing and had little else but cold rain. American Airlines canceled more than 300 departures and arrivals at DFW Monday; Southwest Airlines canceled at least 11 at Love Field.
For travelers, bad weather Thanksgiving week is very bad news. Flights are already heavily booked for this week, so airlines don't have a lot of empty seats for stranded travelers whose flights got canceled. The good news for travelers is that some people may just cancel their trips, especially if airlines waive rebooking penalty fees. So even if the airline tells you it doesn't have a seat for two days, it may be worth waiting on standby lists.
If you are traveling, here are some tips.
* Think up alternatives. Check with your airline to see if you can reroute to avoid a connecting airport expected to get bad weather.
* Sign up for flight alerts from FlightStats.com or other services. FlightStats gets flight information both from airlines and from the Federal Aviation Authority. Sometimes it is quicker to tip you off to trouble than the airline. But sign up for alerts from your airline as well.
* Facetime can help. Going to the airport to arrange a rebooking may be better than waiting on hold for an hour if airline phone lines get jammed. Airport agents are also often more helpful than telephone agents.
* Pack to anticipate delays. Take snacks in case you get stuck for a long wait. (Remember the TSA rules on liquids, but you can bring in empty water bottles and fill them past security checkpoints.) Don't check essentials like medicine you'd need overnight. It may be awhile before you see your bags again if flights get canceled and rerouted.
* Check on Mother Nature. Look at the weather at your departure, your arrival and any connecting airports. Remember, it's an inexact science, since bad weather can affect your plane before it reaches your city. A storm far from your intended route could still disrupt your travel.
* If you booked through a travel agent … use the agent! Travel agents can often help with rebooking and arranging hotels if you are stranded. Remember, since the disruption is weather-related, your airline won't provide accommodations, although many can hand out coupons offering discounts at nearby hotels.
* Understand standby list priority. Most airlines accommodate stranded passengers based on their frequent-flier elite status–regular customers get seats first–and the fare you paid for your ticket. In addition, some factor in how long you've been stranded and whether you are traveling with children.
* Stay calm, stay nice. Agents are more likely to go the extra mile for customers who don't scream and yell. Some airlines do add extra flights to schedules after storms clear, and people usually get where they want to go.

About the Book
"Passionate and exciting, Laura Lee Guhrke is always a delight to read."
—Christina Dodd
"I adore everything she writes."
—Julia Quinn<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
With Scandal of the Year New York Times and USA Today bestseller Laura Lee Guhrke continues her wonderful "Abandoned at the Altar" historical romance series—the breathtaking chronicles of the amorous exploits of three sexy dukes and the ladies who capture their hearts. A Victorian Era delight, Scandal of the Year follows Guhrke's delightful Wedding of the Season ("One of the best romances of the season!" —Teresa Medeiros), telling a wickedly romantic tale of a desperate lady looking to create a scandal that will free her from a horrible marriage—a scheme that turns the life of an unsuspecting, love-struck duke upside-down!
One tryst was all she wanted . . .
From their very first meeting, Julia knew that Aidan Carr, the oh-so-proper Duke of Trathen, had a bit of the devil in him, a devil who secretly yearned for what he could not have, a devil who harbored a desire for her. So when she needed to be caught in a compromising situation, Aidan was the answer to her prayers.

On today's Access Hollywood Live, Matthew McConaughey spoke about being a parent for some time. He mentioned that his daughter loves to eat dirt—and immediately freaked out that those words would be the sound-byte of the whole interview.
That's all well and good, but what's with his lessons on falling down? Said he, "Our medicine that they've learned is rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it—whatever it is, rub it."

@webjib : I'm sure the fact that you're apparently the developer doesn't make you biased at all... /s
TrashMe 2.0 is not the same than previous version. If you prefer free applications, you'll find some, but with less more features and less related files results.
USED to be free...now it's $7 on the app store....just like that..magic.
Good and free alternative to AppZapper.

After seveal years it is finally going to happen. The last piece of the puzzle came thru today . The volunteers are lined up, the equipment is all lined up, all the approvals and permits are in hand, and this afternoon I got a check to cover the retaining wall block, river rock, and trees. As soon as it dries out around pole 1 we can start work.
This was sketched up since 2007 (before basket 1 was even put up).
In addition to make this soggy area more aesthetically pleasing, it will make this pole much more challenging. It was a wide open duece pole before. However with OB just 35' from the basket on 3 sides it also could be a circle 4 real quick -or- a easy 3 if one chooses to lay up, and of course a 2 with a succesful drive. Should be a good pole were one has to make decissions, and a pole were we may see some score separation.

SANTA CRUZ -- Scientists at UC Santa Cruz have stumbled upon a surprising discovery: coyotes, familiar denizens of field and hill, seem to be developing a taste for seafood, including elephant seal carcasses.
Preliminary data from UCSC biologist Paul Koch's research team suggest that ancient coyotes that roamed the Central Coast long ago rarely got their food from the sea. A graduate student in Koch's lab, Rachel Reid, investigated the diets of those animals and modern-day coyotes by comparing fossil bones and recent excrement samples from several sites in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.
Despite evidence of elephant seals at Elkhorn Slough in Moss Landing 2,000 years ago, the fossil remains suggest coyotes hardly ever snacked on young seals or even fish, according to Reid, who recently presented the data at the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in Los Angeles.
"We're just getting a hint of how coyotes behaved in the past," said Koch, dean of the Physical and Biological Sciences Department at UCSC.
The ecological changes that would result from coyotes eating a lot more seafood aren't yet clear. But land animals that eat marine life often forge connections between land and sea, Koch said, so the nutrients they bring ashore could eventually mean bigger bands of coyotes on the Central Coast.
Bones and feces have little in common, but chemical signatures in both offer clues to an animal's diet. Reid compared the two by testing the ratios of two elements common to all life -- carbon and nitrogen. One specific form, or isotope, of nitrogen is particularly rich in marine life. Animals -- including humans -- that eat a lot of seafood incorporate more of this type in their cells. Likewise, carbon isotopes are found in different proportions in land and sea life.
Comparing samples
Simply by comparing the amounts of carbon and nitrogen isotopes in a sample, researchers can tell whether an animal skipped the fish course. Five of 17 excrement samples had carbon and nitrogen proportions consistent with a marine diet, but only two ancient bone samples out of 15 had any such traces.
"We've only looked at a few places and are going to be studying coyotes in the fossil record at several other places," Koch said.
Coyotes have never been fussy eaters -- one reason their populations have been expanding across the country. The omnivores have been known to devour pets, small mammals, snakes -- and even rubbish. Since marine mammal carcasses and dead fish have been washing ashore for eons, it isn't clear why ancient coyotes might have stayed away from them.
"We don't know for sure why coyotes behaved that way, but one possibility is grizzly bears," Reid said. Hunters or fishermen living along the coast, she added, may have been another reason.
Grizzlies in other parts of the world relish salmon and seafood. But their appetite for livestock caused them to be hunted to extinction. Although the grizzly is the Golden State's official state animal and adorns the state flag, the last California grizzly was killed in Tulare County in 1922. So now, the theory goes, coyotes may be taking advantage of the coast while it is clear.
"Potentially, just having marine foods available could increase the number of coyotes in the area," said Seth Newsome, an animal ecologist at the University of New Mexico.
Alaskan wolves
Newsome pointed to a study of coastal Alaskan wolves that revealed a similar pattern. The wolves had been blamed for a decline in the populations of caribou and moose populations -- their traditional prey. But scientists who studied the wolves' diets were surprised to find that they were also eating salmon and marine animal carcasses.
The seafood allowed the wolves to thrive even as the number of caribou and moose declined. In a similar way, the addition of seafood to the coyote diet may help them thrive in the Monterey Bay region.
"It is one potential way that this change could impact other parts of the ecosystem, even inland," Newsome said.
There's no official count yet to show that coastal coyote numbers have increased. But biologists at Año Nuevo State Reserve, where a large colony of elephant seals assembles each winter, say the new research doesn't surprise them.
"Any given day, if you walk the beach at low tide, you will find coyote tracks on the beach," said Patricia Morris, a UCSC research biologist who has worked at Año Nuevo for nearly three decades. "I don't census coyote populations or anything like that. But I think I see their tracks more frequently than I used to in the past."

Rembrandt has left us more self-portraits than any other artist in the world, around eighty (around forty paintings, nearly thirty engravings and seven drawings), not including the many pictures in which he depicted himself as a character.
This painting is unique in that it is the only self-portrait showing Rembrandt standing up. X-rays of the panel have shown us that Rembrandt, unhappy with the position of his legs, shortened them and then later hid them totally behind a dog. He also changed his hair. A copy attributed to one of his pupils, Isaac de Jouderville (1612/1613 - 1645/1647), shows us how he looked originally.
The more or less fantastical Oriental costume was frequently used by Rembrandt and other artists of his time in biblical scenes or figures of fantasy to create an image that evoked distant and exotic lands, for which there was growing interest in Holland.

Heartbreaker: Fort Frye falls to Africentric 43-40 in state semi
Prep girls basketball
March 15, 2013
COLUMBUS — It looked for three quarters like the Fort Frye High girls' basketball team was on its way to the Division III state championship. Then the fourth quarter happene....
I'm only sad that I didn't get to go to the game. I am so proud of these girls. I have been watching this day coming since they were in elementary school, knowing this was a phenomenal group of girls. As for not playing Africentric, I think we should play more teams like them through the year. From what I have seen, they play a well-coached, well-executed clean brand of basketball that is a joy to watch for any sports lover, even if the outcome isn't what I wanted to see.

Centric's best player was "recruited" from Cincinnati....shocked that the Fort Frye folks aren't more vocal about this. These teams should not be meeting, and FF in all fairness should be state champ in their division.

Lady Cadets hold your heads very high. You have accommplished what very few high schools experience. This experience will remain not just with you athletes, but faculty, alumni, local communities, and surrounding counties. It is heartbreaking now, but the confidence, teamwork, and responsibility demonstrated by this team will last in each one of you forever. I am a graduate of Skyvue High School and remember the excitement and thrill of the tournament chase in '83, '84, and'85. It was a huge emotional rollercoaster ride that ended in heartbreak and saddness, but the memories and fondness of a small rural high school in the pursuit of a boys basketball state championship endures to this day. Your experience will be reminisced in generations to come. Thumbs up to the Lady Cadets.

October 18, 2013
The government is to launch a consultation on tackling late payment later this year, as figures show that 85% of SMEs have experienced problems with late payment in the past two years.
Prime minister David Cameron said: "It's not right that suppliers are not getting paid on time for the work they do and the services they provide. The government has already taken steps to help address this issue, but I am clear that more needs to be done to build a business culture across all sectors of the economy that sees the fair, prompt and reliable payment of suppliers become a core corporate responsibility."
The consultation will look at a range of issues including:
Katja Hall, CBI chief policy director, said: "Businesses already have a number of routes for recourse if they are paid late, but the reality is that few choose to act on late payment for fear of fall out with their customers."
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has been leading the call by business groups for action on late payment. John Allan, national chairman, said: "Being paid late or given extended terms can severely hamper many small firms. They simply don't have the same cash-flow buffer as a large businesses, so being paid on time can be the difference between being able to pay staff and not."
Alexander Jackman, head of policy at the Forum of Private Business (FPB), said: "This consultation is long overdue and will undoubtedly receive a great number of replies. It is essential the government uses all the evidence submitted to develop some robust policy actions to tackle the problem of late payment effectively."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants announced Friday that all fans entering AT&T Park this season will be screened with metal detectors. The change complies with MLB's mandate that all teams begin using metal detectors by the start of the 2015 season.
"We believe that the addition of metal detectors will further ensure a safe atmosphere for all our fans who attend a Giants game," said Jorge Costa, senior vice president of ballpark operations. "They will also allow us to speed up the pace of entry by reducing the need for handheld wanding and should create a more efficient and safer screening process."
Here are the regulations sent out by the Giants:

I recently purchased my first nice road bike. While getting used to the bike so I can ride some distances( 50-100 mi) I need to figure out what things to take with me ie. extra tube ect and how to carry it all. I will talk to the guy's at the LBS where I purchased but thought you all might have suggestions too. The bike is a Trek Madone 4.7 so I'm not going to have a rack ect. Trying to stay as light as possible for the group I will eventually ride with as they tend to ride fairly hard and fast. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

Saddle bag that will hold the following:
Tube x1
Patch kit
Tire levers
Multi tool
Copy of ID and ICE info
I prefer a frame mounted pump, Blackburn makes some nice small ones that has mount that goes under your bottle cage. Many carry in the saddle bag CO2 cartridges and inflator. Once used your done though and they can be tricky.
Learn how to change out your tube and practice before you have to do it roadside. Always look outside and inside of tire for what caused the flat! Running your glove over the tire will grab a piece of wire that is hard to see. Sometimes you can pull out the affected area and throw a patch on and be on your way. A gel or food wrapper placed between the tire and tube will get you home if you have a larger hole or cut in the tire or sidewall.
See if your local LBS has any classes for tire changing or maintenance, learning a few tricks can get you home with some simple McGyver type repairs.
I also recommend a Garmin cycling gps computer, their new 200 unit gets you gps for around $150, 500 with heart rate maybe 300ish. If you can find a factory refurbished unit you can get more of a device for less $! Avoid PayPal sites as Garmin does not provide warranty through these site. Otherwise you get the same one year as a new. Great for training, tracking, and reviewing ride.
Good luck and enjoy your riding!
Use your jersey pocket if you feel the need for a second tube, really depends on the tires your running and the local road debris. If your riding with others them the ability to "borrow" tube is alway an option.
Hi Dobro,
Ok. Be prepared. It is bad form to have to bum stuff off of your cohorts and even worse to have to call home to a significant other or relative for a lift.
Thinking of going a 100 miles? Then be stocked with:
Two tubes. A patch kit is cool to carry just in case you hit more shards of glass and trash both tubes. I have never had good luck with the glueless patch kits however. It may just be me but they blow off, even if I double them up.
I use CO2 cartridges. I carry two but sometimes three. Of course you will need a well engineered inflator to make it work. You will need Tire levers. They usually come in sets of three. Carry three as they sometimes break. I also carry a small pump as suggested above but I hate the way they look on a nifty new road frame so I carry a small one (about 6" long) that will fit in my saddle bag. I carry several allen wrenches or sometimes a petite multi tool. I sometimes carry an extra end cap for handle bars but that is for a teammate who loses one and won't be able to race without it.
So, here is the suggestion I never see but it is important and fortunately not expensive. Get a set of TIRE BOOTS. PARK makes them. If your LBS does not carry them they are not equipped as they should be. Find a shop that does. They are credit card sized adhesive strong pieces of plastic. In case you cut a tire or puncture it so that a new tube would just blow through it you take this and pull off the backing exposing adhesive and stick it on the inside of the damaged tire. This is a temporary fix but should get you home on an otherwise trashed tire. You get 3 or so for about $5.00. Some will tell you that you can use a dollar bill or a mylar power bar wrapper. Good luck with that. These boots are easy to install, stay in place with the adhesive, and if you carry them you won't need them, but you will be the hero for a buck when your buddy hits a nail. They take up literally no room in your saddle bag.
I like Serfas bags. I want a separate compartment for a key. I want it to have a tab for a blinker when I ride in the evening. I want a durable zipper and a tough material for the bag's construction. They have several models but I like mine to be longer and not wider. I hate trashing the inner panel of my nifty riding shorts on the wide ones. I can get all this stuff in one bag that no one would think is obtrusive.
Put your cell phone in a plastic bag in case it rains or there are a few jersey companies that actually make waterproof pockets! (Funkier for one). Now, mind you, there are a few magazine writers and others who think it tacky to use a saddle bag. Okay. The bike looks cool that way but your rear pockets are stuffed and you are more likely to forget gear at home or lose it when you take a spill, but you won't do that.
Did you get road shoes and road pedals? If you started with mtn bike pedals and shoes make the transition. There are several options to go in that regard. Purchase a set of shoes with a carbon sole. Spend the dough. Contact me if you have any other questions. I recently saw a set of pedals as light as Dura-ace from another company for only about $70 on a blow out sale. GPS units are nice if you are afraid of getting lost but also can tell you how many feet you climbed. That is neat. I like SIGMA bike computers. On most of theirs you can reset the individual functions (say, reset your average speed after your slow warm-up) without losing the info on the other modes including Max speed or distance. In fact they mostly have two distance modes so you can reset one to get a sub set distance. When I lead a ride I reset one so that the ride distance I refer to on the ride starts at zero so I know the distance for that ride route and can tell folks what it was and I reset the average speed after a suitable warm up in the trafficy areas. Then I get an average speed value that actually means something and keeps the speed controlled until the road opens up. Then when I get home I refer to the original odometer for my daily miles.
It appears that you are coming from a running background. Make an effort to not rely on your running legs but work diligently to spin at a faster cadence and improve pedaling efficience saving your running power for the sprints. Make sure your saddle height is not too high. A good bike fit is key and it starts with (despite some disagreements I have with several other authors including one buddy of mine who recently published an article on this topic) the proper alignment of your foot inside the shoe. That means a footbed. ALINE at www.aline.com makes the best off the shelf product available. I can explain that further. Floatation pedals can save your knees at the expense of power transfer.
HEADS UP! Rubber down.
EJ Levy
The other advice you've received is good.
My input would be to skip the tyre boot as there is always road side trash you can use (any kind of sanck wrapper will work, including the one you keep your gel in) and look for a multi tool with a chain breaker (you'd be wise to carry a quick link such as that from SRAM or KMC as well). It's not that chains break often but tha tyou are so completely screwed if you don't have the right tool when they do. I guarantee you will be a popluar guy when someone in the group breaks a chain and you whip out your tool!
As I said, "good luck with that." I made a point of describing how a tire boot is inexpensive and very easy to use and if you would prefer to scrounge around, maybe in the dark or say on a mountain bike trail and hope that that Powerbar wrapper will stay in place, if you have one in the first place, then go for it. I've been on rides where my buddy used the wrapper which did not hold and another tube blew through. And that, by the way, costs more than a pack of tire boots. Since the only reason I can think of to not carry them is one of expense, and since they are cheap and very convenient then I can't think of a good reason to not carry one. By the same reasoning you could scrounge around for a nail and a rock to fix that chain that broke. I do agree that to carry a nice chain tool is a good idea. Tire boots are inexpensive and my answer holds, every well equipped saddle bag should have at least one in it. It will most likely get you home once repaired, save time, and maybe money.
Good suggestion on the tire boot; I'll add that to my saddle bag. Also, I carry a mini-pump for some of the logic you used. Multiple flats=multiple inflations and you could blow through two-three cartridges easily (especially if mishandled (hello Chrissie Wellington at Kona!)). I carry a multi-tool with a chain breaker that was invaluable on the 200-mile race when my chain broke. Took out a link and only lost a few minutes of time; I wasn't going to cross chain big-big anyway. Love the ALINEs by the way. Thanks for those two years ago.
I may be jumping in a little after this thread has gone silent, but I would definitely agree with the chain breaker as an addition to your saddle bag. It's amazing how few people actually carry them so when you're in a pinch it's a tough item to borrow. You'll be someone's new best friend when they break their chain and you are the only one with a tool. They make some that are extremely light and compact these days.
Another KEY piece of equipment is some form of ID system. Bring your driver's licence at an absolute minimum. But to go one step better purchase an athlete-specific ID system that contains key information about you such as full name, emergency contacts, medical allergeis and any previously existing medical conditions. That way if something happnes to you while you're out riding, someone can quickly find out who you are, who to contact that you've been in an accident and how to treat you. I highly recommend that everyone wear one. If you haven't heard of Guerrilal Tags ID Systems, check them out for sure. They are a new company out of Colorado that makes ID's for cyclists that actually look good in my opinion. After all if it looks good you'll be 100x more likely to wear it!
Chain breaker and ID system in addition to the above. You are ready : )

Hello all. I'm 25 years old, and I've decided that I need to be able to run off treadmill. This is a part of a larger effort to get into better shape, and it is critical to my career plans.
My brother mentioned Ct5K, so I thought I'd check it out and it looks really promising. I'm reading through the program and the other pages that it links to with tips, etc. but in my experience you can often get the best advice, quickly, simply by asking people who have been doing it and love it (because they don't need to search for the info you need- they know it! Plus they know things you don't even think to ask about!).
My goal: to be able to run 3 miles in 18:00 minutes.
Fortunately, I'm not significantly out of shape. I would even say that I'm "just" not IN shape. I'm 25, 145 pounds or so, no injuries or illnesses. I had been running on a treadmill last month, doing three miles in approximately 27ish minutes.
But I need to be able to go faster, off treadmill, and I want to get to that goal as fast as I can (safely, of course! Ensuring that I do not injure myself is my number one priority in executing this change, and why I am here).
So, where should I START with the Ct5K program? I guess I could start at the beginning, but my goals are slightly different than just "be able to run 5k." I can run 5k currently. I want to be able to run it faster, but I have never before in my life trained in running so it is a completely alien activity to me. I know there is a lot of technique and science behind it, and I know that I don't know any of it.
Any and all advice would be immensely helpful, and thank you.
How about using the C25K program but where it says jog you sprint and where it says walk to run? I think that would increase your speed good luck!
If you can already run 5k, there is no point in doing the c25k program. Instead, look for a 5k racing training program. Usually that involves adding more interval sessions, and tempo runs. Mix up your training, so that you do some days slow and long and some days with high speed intervals.
Well, I thought at the very least it would be good to do the later stages as a way of safely learning how to run. However, I will certainly look for the racing training programs! Thanks so much for the advice!
I'd be slightly cautious on one thing: I believe many of the programs that focus on improving time (speed) come with them an inherent assumption that the runner has been running for a while and has a base of miles established. You said you *can* run 5K, but have you been doing so consistently? If you don't consider yourself a consistent runner then, IMHO, I would first establish a routine where you're running that 5K 3-4x/wk. Do that for a number of weeks to establish a base. Get all parts of your body used to the routine. Routines like C25K help you ease into running not only because of the fitness needed, but there is a lot of adjusting and getting your body accustomed to the rigors of running that needs to take place. I've seen lots of stories of people who are very active (bikers, swimmers, etc.) who can handle the fitness side of running very quickly, but they'll get some other sort of injury because their feet or ankles or knees or leg muscles aren't used to that particular activity. I've even heard the bone density changes as you run more and more consistently. So if you get into it too quickly it's easier to get a stress fracture.
So if you don't have a consistent base - I'd focus on that. THEN look at a program to increase speed. Right now - I wouldn't worry too much about the technique and science. That is a whole 'nother program that may come up as you focus more on speed.
Good luck.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
Thank you Jim. I suspected something I would hear something like that. I will definitely follow your advice- get comfortable with running, period, then focus on increasing the speed.
I agree that a C25K really isn't the place to foster a goal of 5K in 18min and you really should have some kind of 'speed' coach to help you get faster and not get injured doing it. A mix of base 3mil runs with core workout, intervals and a 'long' once a week should get you there. Just to relate to what you are doing, I recently added my 'long' of 4 miles to my weekly routine and brough my speed from 10.5 down to 9.5. I know doesn't sound like much but for me it was a huge improvement and I felt great after the 3 mile run. Looking forward to an 8.5 in another month.
You can definitely do sub 6 min miles if you build slowly up to it. Please post your progress here and what training you are doing to help you get there.
Today I started by running 3 miles (with a 5-10 min break at 1.5 miles to make I wasn't overexerting myself- it was a 97 degrees today) to see where I stood. The times and distance are a touch approximate- I used the Google Pedometer (sp?) to plan my route, and I was using my phone as my timer so I lost some time fumbling with it to start/stop the timer, plus one lace tying incident.
First 1.5- around 12:30
Second 1.5- cumulative of 25-26 minutes.
Some quick points:
I'm not trying to run a sub 6 min miles- I want 6 min miles. Anything better than that is gravy.
What is a "long?" Is it a run that is longer than your target distance? So if I am running three miles, I might add a long of four or five miles once a week?
This evening, 3 miles in 25:57, no break in the middle.
What a difference running late at night as opposed to the height of day makes!
8/12/12- 25:25
8/14/12- 25:32. I could tell my pace was a bit off for that one....
8/19/12- 25:04
8/21/12 (my first morning run!)- 24:12.
8/23/12- 24:13. A touch disappointed that I wasn't able to run faster than my last time, but encouraged that I could repeat the the achievement.
I need to start looking at cross training now, and some of the speed trials, I think.
I would be careful not to try and beat your 5K time everytime you go out. Your daily runs should be done at different tempos/paces and you shouldn't be "racing" everytime. I would do 1 time trial a week where you really go for it. Maybe even every other week.
I need to do the research on intervals, different tempos, etc. I just keep getting busy, you know? So in the meantime, I go out and run as fast as I feel comfortable.
On 8/25/12, I had a good feeling, and managed 23:36!
Hopefully I'll have some time today after my next run to peruse some literature on the matter.
Case in point:
8/27/12- 25:37.

City schools chief given authority over some grants, contracts
Published: Friday, November 30, 2012 at 12:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 30, 2012 at 12:56 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Grants or contracts of less than $50,000 involving the Tuscaloosa City School System and its individual schools can now be approved by the superintendent.
The Tuscaloosa City Board of Education on Tuesday approved the superintendent's recommendation to relieve the board of its authority over such grants or contracts.
From now on, Superintendent Paul McKendrick will be the highest authority needed to approve grants and contracts of less than $50,000.
Contracts and applications for grants that are for more than $50,000 will still need board approval. Grants that require the system to provide a cash match will also still go before the board.
"What the board is doing is granting the superintendent the authority to review and approve grants and contracts under $50,000 that he thinks will benefit the school system," said Ed LaVigne, chief school financial officer for the system.
"In Michigan and California (places where LaVigne formerly worked), unless it was a major contract like a building contract or we were going to purchase a whole bunch of textbooks at once, the contracts were approved by the superintendent or chief business officer, which was the position I served in," he said. "You mentioned them to the board in a committee, a weekly newsletter or a synopsis of anything that's important in a contract. This allows the board to focus on their job, which is setting policy for the district and moving kids forward."
Dan Meissner, chairman of the school board, said the main reason the board approved the recommendation is that because of short contract and grant deadlines, the board hasn't always been able to meet in time. Before Tuesday's vote, if a grant that could help the system was discovered and had an immediate or near-immediate application deadline, the board would have to call a meeting to approve it. Now, the superintendent will be able to grant system personnel permission to move forward on grant applications without waiting on the board.
"We don't want them to miss those opportunities because we don't have a board meeting in time," Meissner said.
Meissner said removing the approval of grants and contracts under $50,000 from the board's meeting agendas won't cut down on long board meetings, but it will cut down on the need to have frequent called meetings.

The NEXUS series of sticks is the family in the Bauer stick line-up with a Tru-mid flex profile. If you are a player that is looking for a well-balanced stick with a quick, effortless release with natural power, these should get your consideration.
The Nexus 6000 features a time tested, and proven, traditional fused
construction. Bauer uses premium lightweight 12k woven carbon fiber, which is clearly visible along the shaft of the stick. The Nexus 6000 is well-balanced and lightweight, but slightly heavier than the 7000 on account of its slightly higher fiberglass content. The square shaft shape with double-concave walls is preferred among pros, and provides a secure grip no matter what shot you are taking. The Nexus 6000 is available in a matte or Griptac finish.
This stick features the Power Profile Dual Taper, which means a little more thickness in the hosel of the taper to boost torsional stiffness in order to allow you to maximize the load.
Bauer's Pure Shot Blade Profile is a visible expanded throat design that also means less torqueing and twisting, thus improving accuracy and blade control. For the core of the Nexus 6000 blade, Bauer uses a single density and less brittle AERO FOAM 3. The blade is wrapped in Premium lightweight 3k Carbon Fiber, and features a matte finish.
The Nexus 6000 from Bauer is a Tru-mid flex stick with a quick, effortless release that gives you natural power transfer. Order yours today.
*Stick weights and lengths are determined using like flexes and patterns from each brand (mid curve, round toe, open face).
There can be variances in stick weights within the same model, so we have listed the average from weighing 6 sticks.
Length is measured from top of shaft where the front shaft plane meets the heel.
The warranty policy does not cover any breakages due to misuse or abuse. This policy does not cover wood sticks/shafts/replacement blades, pro stock sticks, or sticks sold by BAUER Hockey's Team Sales Group. For those products,
BAUER will not repair the stick/shaft/replacement blade or refund your money.
BAUER will not return ship any broken sticks/shafts/replacement blades.
If you believe your stick/shaft/blade meets this criteria, please proceed to

Anyone who has seen photos of Washington County under the siege of the Great Flood of 1913 would be hard pressed to call the community lucky.
Local photos paint a picture of a community in shambles. Hundreds of buildings were washed away or destroyed. Entire towns floated away on the current. Many were left homeless.
But Washington County was lucky in one respect. Not a single man, woman or child drowned in the angry waters of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers. And following the calculated sanitation efforts proposed by a doctor from the War Department, area residents were able to avoid much of the illness commonly associated with flood waters.

Cleanup begins on Front Street in Marietta.
"Giardia viruses would have been present in the sewers and river waters. That would have been an immediate effect of having exposure to river water," explained Marietta doctor Roger Anderson, who specializes in infectious diseases.
Diarrhea would have been the main symptom of Giardiasis, a contagious infection, said Anderson. But the disease would not have been easily diagnosed in 1913, he added.
Another similar virus was the driving factor behind many of the strict sanitation rules.
Fact Box
Hygiene rules
The following rules were given to prevent an epidemic of typhoid:
There must be pure water. At present the city water cannot be filtered and everyone must boil water before using it. This order will be enforced.
The waste matter of the camps will be burned. A deep hole will be dug and a board covering made for it. Hay and oil will be put in the hole every day and then set on fire. After the waste has been burned, lime will be sprinkled over the contents and the board covering whitewashed.
A general mess tent should be provided for each camp and the water and garbage burned at once. There should be no accumulation of anything and each camp should be inspected daily.
Source: The Register-Leader, April 4, 1913.
"Marietta is in danger of an epidemic of typhoid fever providing the streets are not cleaned up at once," wrote local paper the Register-Leader in its April 4, 1913 edition.
To prevent the spread of infectious diseases, "Dr. Register of the War Department" instructed Marietta City Council members to enact several steps, said the Register-Leader.
Firstly, the doctor reinforced a proclamation made on April 1 by city health officer Dr. McGee that all residents must boil water used for drinking or cooking purposes.
Secondly, makeshift toilets were to be dug at camps and the waste matter was to be burned daily.
"Hay and oil will be put in the hole every day and then set on fire. After the waste has been burned, lime will be sprinkled over the contents," Register decreed.
Register also ordered that garbage be burnt on a daily basis.
The measures seemed to work. A search of 1913 death records in Washington County turned up no deaths attributed to typhoid fever following the flood, though a small epidemic claimed around a half dozen lives in the fall of that year.
The stress of the flood did take its toll on at least one area man.
On March 31, the Register-Leader reported that W.S. Judd, who served as the city's truant officer for many years, had taken seriously ill at the high school building.
"He is suffering from heart trouble brought on by the flood excitement," wrote the paper. "Reports this morning are that he is resting (easily) today."
The high school building acted as a refuge for many flood sufferers. Overall, flood sufferers were well provided with shelter and food, said Mayor Leeper in a March 30 edition of the paper. However, he asked for donations of bread.
In all, Marietta and the surrounding communities suffered little illness throughout the cleanup process.
As the waters receded, Health Officer Dr. McGee told residents that very little illness had prevailed in Marietta.
"What cases are under the care of physicians have been amply provided for and the patients are recovering nicely," stated McGee.

Folk singer Judy Collins performs with the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra at the Bama Theatre in downtown Tuscaloosa on Saturday night. Collins, 74, has been performing since the early 1960s.
The performance was part of a keynote event to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Bama Theatre. Collins rose out of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early '60s, leading to her Elektra Records debut album, "A Maid of Constant Sorrow," at age 22. At 74, she is performing 80 to 100 dates per year.

Plans for biomass power plant in Gypsum got a green light on Tuesday.
Gypsum Town Council members approved the final reading of annexation, zoning and agreements for the plant, 6-1, with Tom Edwards dissenting.
"The next step is to get out the shovel - we plan to break ground by mid-summer," said Dean Rostrom of Eagle Valley Clean Energy LLC, the entity behind the plans. The plant is slated to be operational near the end of 2013.
The plant will be built on 16 acres directly east of the American Gypsum plant north of U.S. Highway 6. The acreage is part of a 93-acre parcel EVCE is buying from LaFarge North America and which Gypsum annexed on Tuesday.
The property was previously under county control and zoned industrial. Now that it is part of Gypsum, 16 acres will change to light industrial zoning, with the rest classified as "developing resource" and subject to the town's control.
That was a big reason why the council members voted in favor of annexing the land and subsequent agreements. They all agreed it was a great project in many ways, especially in terms of jobs, renewable energy and resulting fire mitigation. Where some council members had a problem with the project was its location along the Eagle River.
Edwards cited the town's Eagle River Area Plan in his vote against the plant. The Eagle River Area Plan was created by the town in 2008 to guide development along the river corridor east of American Gypsum. However, Eagle County never signed the agreement and the plan's feasibility is debatable due to access complications.
"It's never a hundred percent one way," said Gypsum Town Council member Tim McMichael. "We've done that with everything that goes on here. It has always been compromise and making it work for the town. We can't control that property unless it's annexed to the town."
Mayor Carver agreed with McMichael's sentiments.
"Nothing has come back to haunt us," he said. "It's taken a little bit on a couple of projects but it's always been for the betterment of the town and the betterment of the community."
Carver also pointed out how well EVCE has worked with the town.
"I think (EVCE) has met everything that has been asked of them in all aspects. They have bent over backwards," he said.
EVCE is also negotiating a possible land deal and public-private partnership to preserve more than 60 acres of its property's riparian habitat and keep it open to the public.
One of the largest audiences to ever gather for a recent Gypsum Town Council meeting was mostly in favor of the biomass plans.
"I'm excited to see this project and possibly be involved in it," said Buck Sanchez, deputy forest supervisor for the White River National Forest. Sanchez said the forest would benefit from the plant, which would burn "woody fuel" collected from the forest across five ranger districts. (See related story at this website.)
Sanchez said that in addition to forest health, the plant would help with fire mitigation at the fringe of town - something that is already being done but the woody material has had no use until now.
Stewart Hobbs grew up in Gypsum and has been in a family business there for 40 years. He told the council that the project is "certainly a step in the right direction," emphasizing the importance of the job aspect.
One speaker said she grew up northern Wisconsin and lived near a biomass plant on Lake Superior.
"Pollution has not been any problem," she said. "We had smelt and walleye fish right next to the plant. I don't recall any kids in the area having problems particularly. I feel like this would be a really great project for Gypsum for creating jobs."
Other residents had concerns about things such as the temperature of the plant's water discharge, which will go into the river if a state permit is secured, and how much water would be returned to the river. EVCE representatives assured them a state permit would dictate the temperature of the discharge, ensuring it would be environmentally safe.
About 60 percent of the water would be returned to the river, said Ramsey Kropf, Gypsum's water attorney. She said the water agreements were worked in such a way as to keep the river "whole" by utilizing a variety of water rights that draw from different sources.
Though the majority of public speakers at the meeting supported the plant, including Gypsum resident and Eagle County Commissioner Sara Fisher, Edwards said he knew of other citizens at the meeting who were opposed to the plant but didn't speak up.
Exacting as they were, the town approvals were merely the first step. What happens now is a long and busy process of actually building and opening Colorado's first commercial grade biomass power plant.
