MONTGOMERY – Governor Robert Bentley on Wednesday urged people across Alabama to take advantage of this weekend's state sales tax holiday for severe weather preparedness items.
"People need to take this opportunity to stock up on the supplies they'll need before, during and after severe weather," Governor Bentley said. "From NOAA weather radios, to first aid kits and generators, these supplies can help you and your family stay safe. Alabama is vulnerable to several different forms of severe weather. Take the time now to plan ahead. If you wait until the storm strikes, it's often too late."
The state sales tax holiday for 2013 will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, February 22. The holiday will continue through the end of Sunday, February 24. As part of the holiday, items related to severe weather preparedness will be exempted from state sales and use taxes.
Items covered by the state sales tax holiday include:
• Several types of batteries, including cell phone batteries and chargers
• Battery-powered radios
• NOAA weather radios
• Flashlights, lanterns, and emergency glow sticks
• First aid kits
• Duct tape
• Plywood, window film or other materials, specifically designed to protect window openings
• Portable generators
• Gas or Diesel fuel containers
• Tarpaulins and plastic sheeting
• Any non-electric food storage cooler or water storage container
• Non-electric can openers
• Any artificial ice, blue ice, ice packs, or reusable ice
• Fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors
• Ground anchor systems such as cords or rope or tie-down kits
The covered items must cost $60 or less, except for generators, which are covered as long as they cost $1,000 or less.
Several cities and counties across Alabama are joining the state by removing their own local sales and use taxes from the same items during the same weekend. A complete list can be found on the Alabama Department of Revenue website at: http://revenue.alabama.gov/salestax/WPholiday.cfm.
The sales tax holiday will be held at the conclusion of Severe Weather Awareness Week, which is currently underway.
"Alabamians have a unique opportunity with the state sales tax holiday to really save money on items that may save them in a future storm," Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Art Faulkner said. "It is imperative that people use this awareness week and tax-free weekend to be prepared for all hazards, which could strike at any time of year."
Serve Alabama, the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Volunteer Service, is continuing its "Ready Alabama" partnership with Lamar Advertising to help promote Severe Weather Awareness Week.
"The partnership with Lamar provides access to more than 70 digital billboard locations across the state," Serve Alabama Director Jon Mason said. "This week, severe weather preparedness messages are currently on display from Huntsville to Mobile. The billboards promote hazard-specific preparedness and emphasize the importance of developing and maintaining an emergency kit for your home or office."
"Severe Weather Awareness Week is the time to both educate yourself and develop an action plan before hazardous weather strikes," added Jim Stefkovich, meteorologist in charge of the Birmingham National Weather Service office. "We at the NWS take our role of providing life-saving information very seriously. However, our best forecasts and warnings mean nothing if you don't do something with this information. So, please join us. Take this week to learn about the threats. Learn how to receive the hazardous weather information. Finally, develop a plan to protect yourself and others before hazardous weather strikes. The life you save may be your own!"
The annual sales tax holiday was a key recommendation of Governor Bentley's Tornado Recovery Action Council. The council was appointed by Governor Bentley following the April 27, 2011, tornado outbreak. Senator Greg Reed of Walker County and Representative Bill Poole of Tuscaloosa County sponsored legislation to create the holiday. The measure was approved by the Alabama Legislature in April of 2012 and was immediately signed by Governor Bentley.

Mabvuto was forced to drop out of school because he had nothing to wear but tattered clothes and routinely suffered from preventable illness. Access to basic clothing and medication could make a world of difference for children like him.
"I stopped…going to school last year because I don't have clothes and my friends laugh at me," explains 9-year-old Mabvuto, who lives in rural Malawi.
However, that doesn't mean that the young boy doesn't have aspirations for his future.
Donning a torn, black-and-red striped jersey, along with white trousers turned the color brown from dirt, Mabvuto says he dreams of being a teacher.
"I would like to teach English and art. I love to draw," Mabvuto says, forcing a half smile.
But without education, Mabvuto will never be able to teach others.
In his village in Malawi, young Mabvuto lives with his Aunt Fiona, his cousins, and his siblings. Fiona took in Mabvuto and his siblings when he was just 9 months old. Their mother perished when a car hit her; their father abandoned the children a few days later.
Fiona, who works in her small garden, struggles to keep the children healthy and fed.
"I am forced to dig deep into my pockets to purchase charcoal and wood, which I use for the children," Fiona says. She spends every last penny on daily necessities.
There is no money left to buy clothing for the children. Fiona notes that her house is leaky and lacks proper ventilation, and the children often get sick with pneumonia and malaria.
Meanwhile, Mabvuto faces daily humiliation because of his circumstances.
"They say my clothes smell, while others crack jokes saying that I am not able to change my clothes because they were glued to my body," Mabvuto laments, adding that the insults really hurt.
Mabvuto wears hand-me-downs from his elder cousins and brothers. The clothes are tattered and not fit to be worn.
"Since birth, Mabvuto has never felt how it feels to put on new clothes and shoes. I feel pity for him, and this makes me cry," Fiona says, nearly in tears. "I just don't know what to do."
The lack of basics like clothing and shoes can have serious consequences, leaving children susceptible to illness and infection from harsh weather, worms, or parasites.
The absence of decent clothing also takes a serious toll on a child's self-esteem.
World Vision receives brand-new, top-quality donated products, like shoes, clothing, and medications, from generous corporate partners. Gifts from donors help us ship and distribute these products to children, families, and communities who need them most.
If basic clothing or medicine is what's needed to keep children like Mabvuto in school, then such donations can make a world of difference.
In the meantime, Fiona was able to harvest three bags of maize and a tin of peas this year.
Even though the harvest won't be enough for the whole year, she is determined to sell part of it to buy used clothing for Mabvuto. "I would like to see Mabvuto going back to school, and I will buy him a shirt and…short[s]," Fiona says.
Fiona and the children are hopeful that someday life is going to change. "I keep telling the children to have courage, have faith, and stay positive," Fiona explains.
Please pray for children like Mabvuto whose impoverished living conditions deny them access to basics like warm, durable clothing and life-saving medications. Thank God for World Vision's generous corporate partners, whose donations help provide hope for these children.
Make a one-time gift to help provide clothing and medicines to children in need. Your donation will multiply in impact to help ship and distribute new clothing, sturdy shoes, and life-saving medicines and supplies to areas where the need is greatest, like rural Malawi.
Sponsor a child in Malawi today. Your love and support for a boy or girl in need will help provide essentials like nutritious food, clean water, education, and medical care, establishing stability for the present and hope for the future.

1.2-6 Evidence
Revised to December 1, 2007
You will decide what the facts are from the evidence that will be presented in this courtroom. That evidence will consist of the testimony of witnesses, documents and other material admitted into evidence as exhibits, and any facts on which the lawyers agree or that I may instruct you to accept.
The following are not evidence and you must not consider them as evidence in deciding the facts of this case:
- statements and arguments by the attorneys,
- questions and objections of the attorneys, and
- testimony that I instruct you to disregard.
There are two kinds of evidence: direct and circumstantial. Direct evidence is testimony by a witness about what that witness personally saw or heard or did. Circumstantial evidence is indirect evidence; that is, it is evidence from which you can infer another fact. As an example: if you wake up in the morning and see that the sidewalk is wet, you may infer that it rained during the night. The wet sidewalk is circumstantial evidence that it rained. Other evidence, however, may provide another explanation for the water on the sidewalk, such as a garden hose that was left on overnight. Therefore, before you decide that a fact has been proved by circumstantial evidence, you must consider all the evidence in the light of reason, experience and common sense.
In deciding this case, you may consider both direct and circumstantial evidence. The law permits you to give equal weight to both, but it is for you to decide how much weight to give to any evidence.
Some evidence may be admitted for a limited purpose only. When I instruct you that a piece of evidence has been admitted for a limited purpose, you must consider it only for that purpose and for no other.

Hi Andrew,
I have buy several copy of Qcad pro 2.2, mainly my studio is doing architecture design. When using the Qcad pro, we found that if the drawing is over 1,000 lines in a file, the qcad is slow, when there are hatches and text, it will become much more slower. Even the opensouse Qcad 2.05 is faster than Qcad pro. At first I'm doubting that the Nvidia 2d driver on linux is such bad, but when I tested it on windows xp, it's the same. Even in draf mode, it's just speed up a little. Can you improve this in next generation? We really need it to do it better in some big project. By the way, how about some new about Qcad pro 3.0, when will you release it?
Many thanks!

On 6/22/94, Randall, another office mate, and I were in the 7th row right in the center of Veterans Auditorium, and of course Randall stood out since he was so much taller than everyone. That night the Knicks were playing the Rockets in game 7 of the NBA finals and so Randall had a Rockets Jersey on (he wasn't a Rockets fan per se, but he I think he had at least one of every NBA jersey). With everyone standing up for the show, there was the normal sea of heads, and he looked like he was standing in chest high water. Because of his proportions, he looked like some guy standing on a box in the middle of the crowd.
During the first set, Trey couldn't help but keep looking at him. And of course, typical Randall just stood there with his normal bored looking face, and every once and while he'd write something down on a small hand size notebook he had with him. Between songs Trey would push his glasses up and look at Randall with an inquisitive look on his face.
Then when the second set started, of course Trey came out and announced the game 7, score, "First Quarter, Houston by 5". He was clearly acknowledging Randall who looked down at me with a quick stoic glance and smirk.
We all know what happened next. The Mikes Song was ridiculous. Kuroda turned on the dry ice and strobe lights for entire song up through the end of Simple into Icculus. The air pressure in the theater was such that the dry ice stayed perfectly on the stage and covered it so completely that the theater stage looked like it had a movie screen between the crowd and the band and there was nothing but that strobe going off.
By time the band got to the end of Simple the dry ice was dissipating. When Icculus started Kuroda put a yellow light on Trey and he was all you could see. The rest of the band was still hidden from view by the dry ice fog. I think he moved his mic stand out towards the front of the stage as well.
Clearly, Trey was obsessed with Randall. Early on during the transistion from Simple into Iccullus, you can hear Trey saying "Cym-bop and beeb-a-phone, skyballs and scratch paper." Referring to Randall writing stuff down during the set.
And then he looked right at Randall, and was talking to him saying, "You might be standing up on top of your skyscraper..."
"you can be Akeem, Shalim, any of those people..." He was referencing Akeem Olajuwan from the Houston Rockets, and was pointing directly at Randall.
By the time Trey said, "You might think your life is okay, but you're wrong, you're all wrong...", Trey finally had Randall laughing.
What a night!
Randall and I become huge fans and attended the first 6 Phish festivals together.

Darren Van Impe pulled on a real NHL sweater at the 1993 NHL Entry Draft when the New York Islanders selected him in the seventh round. Before the 1994-95 campaign, the former Prince Albert Raider and Red Deer Rebel was traded to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. For most of the season he was in the IHL with the San Diego Gulls until the Ducks called him up for his major league debut in latter stages of the season.
After four seasons with the Mighty Ducks, the Boston Bruins claimed Van Impe off waivers in the early stages of the 1997-98 season. The Bruins had seen a young defenseman who could play with the savvy of a veteran. The team rose 30 points from the previous season as Van Impe stuck to the basics. A hyper-extended elbow limited him to 60 games in 1998-99. The next season saw him establish a career in points with 28.
At the end of the 1999-00 season he underwent shoulder surgery which limited the Saskatoon native to a mere 31 games in 2000-01. Over the next two seasons Van Impe had stops with the New York Rangers, the Florida Panthers, the New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets while playing a handful of games with the Blue Jackets AHL affiliate in Syracuse

Anthony Bourdain takes a trip to Kerala, India where he is greeted with hospitality and some uncommon shellfish found in the murky backwaters of India. Needless to say he was a bit tentative to eat the mussels.
Would you eat muscles that were fished out of some murky swamp water? Also, if they aren't boiled for at least 20 minutes they may give some really bad stomach issues. They do look awesome though, just saying.

John David Hammons (Dave/David) 52, of Gridley, passed away Thursday, October 18, 2012, in Chico, due to complications during an operation after years of ill health.
David was born July 16, 1960, in Oroville to Ralph and Fay Hammons, of Gridley, the youngest of four children. David grew up in Gridley going to Gridley schools. After his mother died in 1969, David moved quite a bit going to other schools and states but always considered Gridley and Biggs home.
While attending school in Gridley David met his one true love, Cathy (Cat) Davis. Dave did graduate but left before his prom. Cathy and David ran away to Ohio at age 15 and 17 in 1978, and returned to Gridley and married March 1979 and were two of the happiest couples you would want to meet. Married March 1979, a happy 33 years.
David worked for many years at the home Center owned by Cathy's father Alvin Davis Sr. Better Deal Exchange for six or seven years, in Oroville. David lived in Biggs with his wife and two children for 22 years just recently moving back to Gridley.
David was an avid sportsman, always looking forward to the upcoming season, hoping to best friends and family with the first, biggest or most which he usually did.
David loved telling jokes and even if it wasn't that funny you had to laugh when he laughed, you just couldn't help it. He had such an infection laugh. He will be remembered for many things, husband, father, papa, brother and friend, but his laugh will be remembered by all.
David is survived by his wife, Cathy Hammons, of Gridley; daughter, Corie Chaney (Tobin), of Biggs; son, Joshua Hammons (Serena), of Gridley. Seven grandchildren: Danielle, Tobin Jr., Joshua Jr., Thomas, Chelsea, Carissa, and Johnathan. He is also survived by sisters, Caulinbine Yost, of Ohio and Miranda Mangan (Kirk), of Biggs; father-in-law, Alvin Davis Sr., of Gridley; sister-in-law, Lorie Arnold (Ellis), of Arizona; brother-in-law, Alvin Davis Jr. (Jane), of Gridley; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and his beloved dogs, Lacy, Speckle and Maggie.
David was preceded in death by his mother Fay Hammons in 1969; his father Ralph Hammons, in 1996; brother Thomas Hammons in 1995 and mother-in-law Jerry Davis in 2009.
David requested no services be performed at his passing.
The family would like to welcome you in a celebration of his life, Saturday, October 27, 2012, at 2 p.m., at the Moose Lodge, in Gridley. Please join us at that time.

A story about a woman injured in a bicycle accident on Mount Diablo incorrectly reported why she was riding on the mountain. She was on a recreational bike ride.
MOUNT DIABLO -- Veteran cyclist Morgan Edwinson felt terror when she pedalled down a curve on the steep, narrow park road here last summer and a van appeared in her lane coming at her.
To avert a head-on crash, the Concord rider dumped her bike on the hard road shoulder, separating her shoulder, breaking ribs and bruising her body.
A month later on her first ride back on Mt. Diablo State Park above Walnut Creek and Danville, the same thing nearly happened again when a motorist on the wrong side of the road nearly smashed into her.
Edwinson got angry. She also got motivated to work with her riding group and state park rangers to create a new safety campaign with signs and handouts to "share the road" on this mountain magnet for cyclists.
"People need to slow down, and avoid passing on blind curves," Edwinson said. "There are things both motorists and cyclists can do to be safer. It's not just the drivers."
Last week, the Diablo Multisport Connection -- her training group -- presented two portable "Don't Pass on Blind Curves" signs to state park rangers for display at rotating spots around the state park.
On Saturday, a woman racing in the Fast Freddie Gran Fondo crashed her bike as she pedaled down Mount Diablo and had to be flown to a hospital with serious injuries.
Earlier this summer, state park crews installed two fixed road safety signs near the Danville and Walnut Creek entrances to the park.
Diablo Multisport Connection, a training group for women endurance athletes, also provided small cards with road safety tips to be handed out to visitors entering the state park.
Dan Stefanesko, the Mt. Diablo state park chief ranger and acting park superintendent, said the joint campaign is delivering a valuable safety message.
Speeding and passing on blind curves happens too often despite park rangers' patrols and ticket writing, he said.
"We're a pretty safe park overall," he said, "but one of the things that concerns us the most is collisions between bicycles and motorists. When the two collide, it's the cyclists who lose."
State park officials last week had no figures available for bicycle crashes in the state park.
Stefanesko said the risk is growing, as more cyclists from throughout the Bay Area visit the park with rugged beauty, great views, and narrow roads leading 11 miles to the 3,849-foot summit. Many cycling clubs and racing teams regularly ride the mountain.
The already popular mountain become more so when it become part of the racecourse for the prestigious Amgen Tour of California the last two years.
One of the most dangerous practices is cars or vans trying to pass on blind curves when they get frustrated at waiting for slower-moving cars or bikes in front of them.
Motorists are not the only offenders. Some cyclists speed downhill, cut into the opposing traffic lane on curves, or wear headphones on both ears in violation of state law, the chief ranger said.
The most common bike accidents on the mountain, he said, are crashes involving solo riders.
"We urge visitors to take it easy, slow down, and enjoy the wonderful scenery," Stefanesko said.

STOCKTON - The Stockton Police Department on Tuesday released a sketch of a man who was involved in a deadly shooting that took two lives Friday night in central Stockton.
Residents of a home in the 1800 block of East Sonora Street were having a party about 8:10 p.m. Friday when three to four Latino men walked toward the home and began shooting into the crowd, police said. Juan Sarraraz Jr., 22, and Juanita Maldonado, 35, were killed in the attack. Three others were injured, one critically.
Witnesses told authorities the shooters arrived in a white or cream-colored vehicle and fled north on Locust Street. One was described as a Latino man in his 20s with a thin mustache, an average build, a light complexion and a gray hooded sweatshirt. There was no further description of the other assailants.

Back in business: This cafe story is as heartwarming as the food served there. For 25 years, Janet and Bill Dancer, of Sunnyvale, often enjoyed breakfast at a homey spot called Bobbi's Coffee Shop in Cupertino, and Janet continued going after Bill passed away. When the restaurant closed in March, son Bill set about to purchase his mother's hangout. Now they're the owners, and the eatery has just reopened with a slight change in spelling: It's now Bobbie's Cafe. The Dancers renovated the place but kept all that was precious to them and fellow customers: the menu and the staff. In fact, the whole staff returned, "every one of them," from cooks to servers, Janet said. "I am so grateful that they came back.

text: Warsaw – Researchers from Lodz and Poznan Universities say Poland needs to update its draft GMO law. "The national current legal situation is complicated," Prof. Tomas Twardowski told EuroBiotechNews, stressing that while trade with GM seeds is prohibited, growing and feeding GM crops to livestock is not. This leads to a situation where farmers can buy GM seeds abroad and feed their animals with GM soy, even though this is not in accordance with the proclaimed aim of a GM-free Poland. According to Twardowski, Poland imports 2 million tonnes of GM soybeans and GM maize feed annually.

EL AL's pricing update policy is calculated according to the price per gallon. With every rise exceeding 13 cents per gallon the fuel surcharge is updated. We would like to point out that the fuel surcharge is calculated according to kilograms, while valuations are made according to cost of flight per hour. Therefore, the updated price for distant destinations will be higher. At the same time, we must point out that for our destinations as a whole, the fuel surcharge does not compensate for the increase in valuation.
More information regarding the EL AL fuel mechanism is located in EL AL Cargo's website here link.The Fuel Surcharge will be increased by Euro 0.05/kg from Europe, USD 0.08/kg from Transatlantic and Far East origins. The increase is effective as of JUL 08th,2008 as follows:
Our Customers Service will gladly provide you with any further information you may require :972 3 977 1177.Thank you for your understanding in this matter,We look forward to your continued support.
Sincerely yours,EL AL Cargo.
The relevant date is the date of the flight and not the AWB's issuing date.

Unparalleled success: Ansonia's Arkeel Newsome
ANSONIA — Arkeel Newsome finished his Ansonia High football career as the most accomplished running back in state history with statistics that stack up among the best ever nationally.
Yet when it comes to Chargers tradition, passion and appreciation, it's difficult to separate Newsome from the string of amazing tailbacks and halfbacks the school has produced through the years.
Bubby Natowich arguably established himself as the first Ansonia superstar. While he technically was a high school quarterback, he set state rushing records in the 1930s that lasted for more than 60 years.
Then halfback Roger Goodson became the first African-American All-Stater in state history in 1942.
Alan Webb made his mark as an All-State halfback in the late '40s before eventually enjoying a five-year career with the Giants as a defensive back and more than 20 years as an NFL coach and executive. And two-time All-State back Roger Ings was the Chargers' first state Player of the Year in 1973.
Kevin Sharkey (1989-90) was a two-time All-Stater. And then, of course, came the trio of stallions over the last nine years who put the Chargers atop the state record books time and time again.
Between them, Alex Thomas, Montrell Dobbs and Newsome set records for career rushing yards, single-season rushing yards, career scoring, single-season scoring, rushing yards in a state playoff game, carries in a state playoff game, most consecutive 300-yard games, most 400-yard games, most consecutive 400-yard games, most 100-yard games, rushing yards in a single game, and most 200-yard games.
While Newsome holds most of those records now, Dobbs and Thomas held some first.
All three thrived under the commitment to the running game installed at Ansonia by head coach Tom Brockett, with Newsome making the most of it. He became the first running back in state history to surpass 8,300 yards rushing and
See NEWSOME, Page 10B
115 touchdowns, and he did so in style as he finished with 10,672 yards and 187 touchdowns.
"Once in a while, I will look up my name on Google, and I will see the stats and I will just go, 'Wow,'" Newsome said. "Sometimes it is difficult to believe."
Brockett said that those who don't believe Newsome is strong enough or durable enough to run between the tackles just haven't watched Ansonia play, because the 5-foot-8, 170-pound tailback is much more than a speed back.
"If you watch the kid play, he does it all," Brockett said. "He catches the ball. He will run you over. He will run around you. He will outrun you. He's done all those things that a great back does. If there is one knock on the kid it is his size, but that is something he can't control. But as far as his cutting ability, his toughness, his speed, I don't think they can be questioned."
Brockett said he's been most impressed by Newsome's consistency. He averaged 11.3 yards per carry for his career and on average scored a touchdown once every 5.3 carries over his four years. Ansonia went undefeated with three state championships during Newsome's three years as the starting tailback, and during two of those seasons he led the nation in rushing and touchdowns (sophomore and senior years).
"It is hard when you are comparing different kids playing on different teams, but I don't know if anyone has ever matched what Arkeel Newsome has done on the field," Brockett said, "and I am not talking about just at Ansonia. I'm talking about anyone I've ever seen."
Brockett coached Thomas when he set the state records for rushing yards in a single season (3,596, 2007) and a career (8,279), as well as touchdowns in a single season (47, 2007) and a career (119).
He also coached Dobbs when he rushed for 3,445 yards and 45 touchdowns his senior year in 2010.
"They have a lot more similarities than they have differences," Brockett said. "They all had the ability to cut. They were all tough. They were all fast. I would guess Arkeel and Alex were a little faster than Montrell, but Montrell was just so tough. They all had such great qualities."
So what is it that allowed Newsome to stand out, statistically if nothing else?
"Arkeel has that lateral quickness like no one I have ever seen," said assistant Bob Lisi, in his 41st year coaching at Ansonia. "His cuts are just phenomenal, and his vision is spectacular. Those abilities are just God-given talents. We would love to say we coached him to do all this, but we know better than that."
Brockett said another reason Newsome stands out is because he became a starter when opponents were geared up to stop the Chargers' tailback. Before Thomas became the feature back, Ansonia ran an option offense with Kenny Tinney. Since Thomas, the team has switched to an I-formation with the tailback getting the ball 30 times per game.
"The target has gotten a little bigger each year on our tailbacks," Brockett said. "People have kind of known what we are doing, and it has become that much more of a challenge to continue running the ball."
Because of the way he decimated the record book under such conditions, even the very humble and quiet Newsome admits he should be considered the best running back ever in the state.
"Yeah, I do," Newsome said. "I still respect that there were a lot of greats before me, but I think I'm the best not just because of the numbers but because of all the hard work I put into it."
One of Ansonia's all-time great players, current assistant coach Steve Coughlin, said Newsome's skills and ability to succeed with such a big target on him make him stand out even among the elite.
"I don't know how you could argue that Arkeel isn't the GOAT (Greatest of All-Time)," Coughlin said. "Montrell had the most unbelievable senior year just because of how dependent we were on him. But with Arkeel, it just keeps getting better and better. I never thought that I would say that after Alex Thomas. Then Montrell had that special senior year. But what this kid has done is in the record books, and it's a fact."

The expansion teams have done no better, if ansonia wants the crown then play in a tougher bracket, the facts are there when they step out to play independent in the 1960 era they said the NVL was to weak. For program. As a S team they are excellent in all departments, with out a tougher schedule the excellent does not fit the title . "

Population Genetics Technologies (PGT) assigned exclusive rights to U.S. patent 8,420,319 to New England Biolabs (NEB). The patent covers techniques for asymmetric adaptor library construction. As part of next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation, this technology enables increased efficiency at the adaptor ligation step, resulting in high-yield libraries and minimized adaptor-dimer formation, according to PGT.
"Given the incredible expansion of genome sequencing and nucleic acid-based assays, methods that simplify and improve nucleic acid manipulation and analysis are of high value," said Frank Massam, PGT's COO. "We are therefore delighted that some of the methods we have invented and developed can now be made available to a larger customer base via NEB's global distribution network. This partnership fits well with our strategy of engaging with partners to fully realize the value of our technologies and capabilities."
"We are excited to offer a novel adaptor solution for NGS library preparation to our customers," added Peter Nathan, NEB's executive director of global business development. "The increased efficiencies resulting from use of this process further enhance the workflows for our NEBNext library construction kits."
NEBNext products facilitate DNA and RNA library preparation for downstream applications, such as next-generation sequencing, explained Nathan. "The recently launched NEBNext Ultra™ kits, which address the increasing need for fast and robust performance, also allow the use of low-nanogram amounts of input DNA or RNA," he noted.

Set 2 opens with a raging Llama with Trey sounding like Hendrix as he uses the wah effect for much of the song. Wolfman's Brother is slow and funky. This is a typical Piper for the period with the long building intro and the ending coda. The composed part of Tweezer is really funky, as is the beginning of the jam. However, the jam doesn't really become anything more than a little space funk before Trey plays a few blues licks and the band segues into a good JJLC. McGrupp is nice and there's an unusual ambient jam after McGrupp which segues into DwD. This Disease is a hard rocking, type 1 beast, just what the set needed IMO. The Possum, Tweezer Reprise encore is good, as well.
Overall, I like the first set better than the second set.
Highlights - Moma Dance, Ghost through YEM, Llama, Wolfman's, Jam->DwD.

It's been raining for days now. We've been working on ways to keep all of this precious water on site. As long as this house has been here (100 years now) the water has flowed off our roof and through the yard straight back to our neighbor's basement. When they recently dug out yards and yards of dirt to put in a foundation I teased them that it was "all our topsoil". Since we're growing food in the garden now we need to keep that topsoil and that water here. We can't afford to just let it run off to the city storm drain or our neighbor's basement.
In the garden we slow it and sink it using swales to direct the water flow. From the the roof we collect it for use in the garden during the growing season. Our 1350 gallon rainwater catchment tank has been overflowing all Winter. It has been full since the first storm of the season. We need another tank. More on our rainwater catchment system soon. I've got to get the 'engineer' to do that blog entry.
Enjoy the rain while it lasts. As you can see our ducks certainly do!

I'm madly in love with your water tank. I'm looking to buy a rainwater system soon- I'm looking for at least 600 gallon capacity, preferably in two tanks. Please let me know where you got the tank, and any other good leads you found in your research.

I sat on a table in the doctor's office, my aching and discolored right foot dangling over the edge.
He looked at the X-rays, then gingerly gripped the area above my toes, pressed down and probably saw me grimace. I have something called Charcot foot, he said, a disease that can cause the bones to deteriorate.
No walking for six to eight months, the doc ordered, saying he was going to put me in a special boot and have me use a walker. I can go to work but must stay at my desk, and that's about it. He wants me to be as immobile as possible.
Then came the knockout punch: no driving for six to eight months, either.
What? I'm Mr. Roadshow! I've been covering Bay Area roads for 22 years, and I like to know what I'm talking about. I love getting into my Prius and checking out the impact of metering lights on Interstate 880, the seemingly endless construction at 85-101 in Mountain View and the latest controversy over red-light cameras in Fremont. From one end of the Bay Area to the other I have cheerfully motored to inspect the places you ask about, often with my golden retrievers in tow and an iced tea to sip.
But now I face what so many other older motorists fear: the day we can no longer get behind the wheel and go where we wish when we wish.
It's a problem that threatens more and more of us. Nationally, there were 34 million licensed drivers older than 65 in 2010 -- accounting for 16 percent of all drivers -- and that was a 22 percent increase from 2001. There will be more than 40 million drivers 65 and older by 2020, according to the state Office of Traffic Safety.
Part of me is laughing at the irony of this. Geez, I'm only 61. Far too young to give up the car keys.
Steven Lorence thought so too until he suffered a stroke 15 years ago. He has not driven since, and he gets around in a power wheelchair. Now 69, the West San Jose resident says it took him three to four years to adjust to his loss of freedom.
"It was depressing for a while," he said, recalling how he enjoyed driving his Olds 88. "I love the freedom of being able to get into a car and just go wherever I wanted to go."
He was fortunate at first. His wife, Ella -- "the love of my life," he called her -- drove him everywhere. But she died of cancer about five years ago. Sometimes friends help him get around, but usually he takes paratransit or a VTA bus.
"He's got it exactly right," said John Locher of the Department of Motor Vehicles, who oversees the state's ombudsman program to help seniors keep their licenses. "It is depressing. You have lost your freedom and you're almost back in a childlike status of always having to ask someone for a ride. You're no longer an independent adult. For men especially, it can be a blow to their ego."
And there's another side of this story -- the impact on those who help us get from place to place.
For years Alison Sowell, of San Jose, has driven her 79-year-old mother, Marion, everywhere from Safeway to the doctor's office to the bank.
"Losing the ability to drive can be very stressful for most people," Sowell said. "Some of the main hurdles I encountered were my parents' resistance to having to be forced to rely on someone else. It can be embarrassing to have to constantly ask family and friends to give you a ride somewhere. You are at the mercy of their kindness and availability."
Sowell works full time in high-tech and has three children younger than 9.
"Constantly having to request time off of work has taken a huge toll on my reputation and career, as well as my salary," she said. "On the weekends, I have to take my children with me on (my mother's) errands and appointments and that can be quite taxing on everyone."
There are many organizations one can contact to find transportation options for nondrivers. Eventually, help may also come from technology, such as Google's driverless cars. When Google took one to Washington, D.C., last year, its first stop was at AARP headquarters in the nation's capital.
"Think about it," Locher said. "You're disabled or your reflexes aren't as sharp as when you were younger. But if the car can drive for you, wow!"
My physical problems make my own challenge tougher. I have been an amputee since I was 11, when bone cancer took my left leg above the knee. I underwent major back surgery last June. Now this right foot thing.
Mrs. Roadshow has been my savior. She does all the driving, runs all the errands and makes her wonderful biscotti to thank our helpers.
Seeing her radiant smile every night when she pulls into the Mercury News parking lot after fighting through jam-packed I-880 to take me home often leaves me with tears of happiness. She places the walker in the back of the Prius and reminds me to keep looking at a brighter future.
"In sickness and health," she often says, repeating words we uttered on our wedding day.
At her urging, we've begun taking Roadshow weekend inspection trips -- up Highway 84 to Livermore and onto graffiti-riddled Highway 85, for example.
My doctor says he is "cautiously optimistic" that I will recover and be able to walk and exercise on the bike as I did before.
And, I pray, to get back behind the wheel.

Section 3A Individual Tournament
The Yellow Medicine East tennis team's season ended in earnest Thursday at first two rounds of the Section 3A Individual Tennis Tournament in Redwood Falls.
Only YME's Jordan Glad made it as far as the quarterfinal round Thursday.
Glad, seeded ninth for the Sting, defeated River Valley's Becky Roiger 7-5, 6-3 to earn her way to the quarterfinals, but was quickly defeated by eventual section singles champion Aryn Eckstrom, 6-0, 6-0.
"Jordan played well against Eckstrom in the loss and will be a better player for it," said YME head tennis coach Steve Barber. "If Jordan improves next year as much as she did this year she will be a top seed in next year's tourney."
YME's other singles entrant, Danielle Clark, lost to Luverne's Kaitlin Wohnoutka 6-0, 6-1 after beating Nicole Scotting of Pipestone earlier in the day.
On the doubles' side, only YME's duo of Leah Gluth and Rachel Christensen managed a victory on Thursday. The pair defeated River Valley's Marlayna Evers and Erika Ries before falling to eventual section champions Megan Lahti and Michaela Nelson of St. James, 6-2, 6-2.
YME's other pairing, eighth-seeded Jordan Trotter and Britanna Raddatz lost to Fairmont's Camilla Hermanrud and Melissa Viesselman 6-1, 6-2 to end their year.

Post subject: need answers please
Hi me and my fiance have not been using protection for about two weeks now I was supposed to start my period last Monday and am currently 11 days late. I had light pink spotting last Monday for a few hours but it went away soon after. I have very swollen tender breasts to the extent I hate wearing by bra. I can't hardly stand anything touching them. I have been very tired lately were when I get home from a normal day at work and I sit down I will fall asleep. I have had a short temper lately and don't know why. My fiance says my boobs feel hot and my nipples are getting longer and darker. I have some cravings and some sickness towards smells. I could use some help. I've never been pregnant before.

Help! I've been having trouble with Plantar Fasciitis. I have been doing all the stretching and excersises that is recommended. It does not seem to be helping and it's really hurting my training.
Does anyone have any other recommendations? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
PF is really nasty - mostly because what fixes it for you may be different than what fixes it for me. Basically I think of it as a symptom, not a root cause problem itself. Something is causing the Plantar Fascia to be pounded too much. It could be something is wrong with the hips. It could mean you're running in a particular way so it causes issues. It could be a shoe problem.
Have you been to a PT? If not that is what I'd definitely recommend. And find one that will look at the whole system - from the foot all the way up to the core. If a PT focuses only on the foot then I'd find a new one.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
I have (had?) plantar fasciitis for more than 3 years now. Investigation of the disorder made me understood that treatment efficiency is very individual - Jim said so too. Something that works for one may not work for the other. There are many causes for plantar fasciitis so different treatments help different people.
There are many treatment techniques that you can try.
Did you try Taping? There are a few Taping techniques you can find in: http://www.plantar-fasciitis-elrofeet.com/plantar_fasciitis_taping.html
For me it all started with plantar fasciitis. The best cardio exercise for someonewith plantar fasciitis is swimming and riding a bicycle. I used to run and I got plantar fasciitis so I started to swim and cycle. Today I'm better with my PF so I ended up in triathlon. I have finished my first Olympic triathlon race two years ago. It did not all happen in one day - I am talking about 3 years now.
My main message is to keep fighting cause it takes time - the only chronic thing about PF is the patient (me and you) that keep hurting his feet without knowing. It took me 2 years to understand that my PF comes from standing (I always blamed my running) and that my custom made orthotics does not work for me.
Takecare & Good luck
Hey there, PF is definitely a pain--I've even heard it called the "nuisance injury." Stretching and support are two of the best permanent solutions for Plantar Fasciitis. Make sure your shoes are supportive, have you thought about adding a supportive insert or heel cup into your shoes? Also, Stretching the entire lower extremities including the calf, achilles, and foot will also help to alleviate tightness that could be causing your PF.
Here are two great tools that help accomplish both support and stretching: http://www.medi-dyne.com/estore/prostretch-brand/essential-plantar-fasciitis-relief
Good luck and happy running!
As everyone is noting, Plantar Fasciitis sucks. I've been dealing with it for about 6 months and I've tried lots of different remedies. Here's some things that I've tried, some of which have worked for me:
- Lots of stretching: while sitting I cross my injured foot (shoe off) up to my knee and using my fingers bend my toes back, working from my big to little toe. While doing that I am also massaging the instep. I'll release and restretch 4-5 times. I try to do that several times a day. Seems to help me.
- Taping: As Ezrida mentioned it might help you. Sometimes it seems to work for me, other times no - can't figure out why. For a while it was a life saver.
- Shoes and insoles/orthotics: I have experimented with all sorts of insoles and orthotics - some feel good on certain days, but not on others... Again, can't figure out why, so I go with what feels good. I've even tried some of those "gel" inserts. One crazy thing: I recently bought some Newton running shoes, and I noticed that with the raised midfoot (which causes my heel to be a bit lower), my PF discomfort goes down! So sometimes I wear them around the house or at work (I get weird looks, but I don't care....).
- Standing a lot does not help... If I am in a situation where I will be doing a lot of standing, I'll take the time to stretch out that foot as many times as I need to to feel good.
- Immediately after a run I ice my entire foot: I literally plop my foot into a sink with cold water and ice for 5-10-15 minutes (whatever I can stand). Then I towel it off, warm it up, and massage it. Feels great afterwards.
- NASIDS (like Advil) don't help much, so I don't bother (and prefer not to).
- Not running or exercising is not an option.... and it will still hurt.
I have a non-runner friend that has PF, so I figure that if he has it and doesn't run, my continuing to run can't be that bad.
The good news is that my PF seems to be abating.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

I just came across this link on another post - looks interesting:
Find the cause. Mine was tight calf. Direct iceing, friction release, & patience. You can run thru it but it sucks.
I had plantar in my left foot for one year, and when it healed I got it in my right foot. Among countless other things I tried, I taped my feet before every run and stood on the stretch board for 5 minutes at a time three to four times per day- always the first thing in the morning and last thing at night. About 6 weeks ago I started taking vitamin C, 1000 mg, twice a day. I have no more pain. My other suggestion is if you are not already doing so, flex your feet in the morning before you get out of bed. Hold the stretch for about 30 seconds. It makes getting out of bed with plantar bearable!
I've been struggling with plantar for the last 6-7 months. One thing that hasn't been mentioned in previous posts is the use of a night splint- at boot/brace that keeps your foot flexed at night, keeping the plantar fasciitis from stiffening up. I've found it extremely helpful with my mobility in the morning. Good luck!
Like Francine, I had PF in my left-foot, after more than 18 months I slowly built my running back up, only to get it in my right-foot. My previous treatment included not running, stretching, strengthening, taping, a very painful and unpleasant steroid injection and eventually acupuncture. This time I've gone straight for the acupuncture. I've had two treatments so far and am almost pain-free. I'm doing a different set of strengthening exercises too, calf raises, clams, squats and lunges, to improve my glute strength, but have found the acupuncture to be very successful in my case. It's not very pleasant, and is quite uncomfortable at the time, but I'd definitely recommend giving it a go. I also keep a golf ball handy and to massage whenever I get the chance!
PF can be healed, contrary to what one PT told me after several weeks of stretching and strengthening therapy. I will endorse what many have said already - the solution may vary from person to person. Whatever you do, don't give up running. If you love it, just keep pursuing different options until you find one that works. You may need to concentrate on other forms of cardio (bike or swim) initially, but you don't have to give up running forever.
What didn't work for me: insoles made of hard materials i.e. Superfeet, etc.; physical therapy strengthening (tried it twice); not running - didn't make any difference; night splint; custom orthotics.
What did work for me: PF-specific taping with KT Tape; Alimed Freedom Accomodator orthotics (slightly squishy - not soft or hard. Worn in my running shoes, I replace every 3 months); http://www.footeducation.com/plantar-fascia-specific-stretch This stretch was key - I did this stretch before getting out of bed in the morning, then 9 or 10 more times during the day, especially before any weight bearing exercise. It was prescribed by an orthopedic surgeon that I saw and it worked for me.
I have also become a devoted follower of the Galloway way of running. The only way I am able to increase my distance is very slowly, and by incorporating walk breaks into every run. Maybe it's not hard core, but I'm happy being able to run, set and achieve incremental goals, and remain injury-free (having just started running 3 years ago at age 50!)
After 2 years with very painful PF in my right foot, I was able to finally achieve some goals with my running this year. I'm looking forward to training for my first Half starting in early 2013.
Good luck!

I'm not sure if you ever use an elliptical but I'm starting to suspect that it is causing PF in my right foot. Seems to make sense since you are constantly applying pressure to the middle of the foot.
Freeze plastic bottle of water and roll your foot over it. Naproxen. Sleep with a Strassburg sock which will keep your calf gently stretched for however long you sleep.
These all worked for me.
Good luck.
Do you have access to a good gym? I used most of the methods mentioned above, and they were a temporary fix, but the one thing that made PF go away and stay away for me was heavy legwork, especially below the knee.
I would not go as far as recommending it for everyone, but if you have a good weightlifting base already, it might be worth a try.
My favorite machine was the sit down calf with the bar you push out with your feet. Placing the middle of my foot on the bar with 150% of my body weight and just holding it, stretched the tendon out. I also did the normal calf exercises on that machine and other machines and free weight. It took about three weeks for the PF to go away, and it never came back. If that machine isn't available, you could do the standing calf raises and use a board.
I've continued to do heavy legs along with my running, and it works for me. It's just a suggestion.
Two things..
First is get some ART Active release therapy
Second, use some compression socks specific for plantar faciitis

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Western Kentucky's women's basketball team scored the game's first 14 points and held host Morehead State to just eight points in the first half as the Lady Toppers defeated the Eagles 62-38 at Johnson Arena Thursday night.
WKU moved to 6-2 on the year, while MSU dropped to 1-7.
MSU outscored the Lady Toppers 30-27 in the final half but shot just 3-of-23 in the first period and fell behind 35-8, its lowest-ever scoring output in a half. The Eagles also turned the ball over 26 times and were outrebounded 44-35.
"It's embarrassing," Head Coach Tom Hodges said. "Our fans and university deserve better. If we don't bring more energy and not just stand around, it doesn't matter who we're playing, we're not going to win. We have to do a lot of soul searching. We've got to bounce back because this is unacceptable."
The Lady Toppers were up 14-0 before MSU's Almesha Jones dropped in the first Eagle field goal at 13:07. WKU built a 25-4 lead late in the half.
Western Kentucky forward Chastity Gooch finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven steals. Denay Fothergill scored 14, and Alexis Govan tallied 11 points and six rebounds. WKU shot 40 percent (24-of-60) for the game and had 19 steals.
MSU junior guard Terrice Robinson led all Eagle players with 18 points, including 6-of-7 at the free throw line. Sophomore forward Casey Ryans grabbed a team-best eight rebounds, and Jones notched eight points and career-high six rebounds.
WKU led by as much as 31 in the second half and held MSU to 2-of-18 on three-point shooting.
The Eagles travel to Ohio University on Sunday for a 2 p.m. ET contest. Live stats are available via MSUEagles.com and the game can be heard live on WIVY-96.3 FM.

The Drowned on 12/3 is top 5 Phish jams ever for me. If the regular '97 funk (if one can even say those words convincingly) is like mid-tempo dance music, a la Mushroom Jazz, then the Drowned funk here pushes past groovy house into something more akin to breakbeat. No, not in a strict tempo-equivalent way, but y'know, by 'analogy'...yeah, it's deep. *grin*
It is the most frenetic, quick funk improv in the canon, while never losing its soft touch or getting ahead of itself. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
The 2001 is short....BUT, not short like post-hiatus 2001s, which are short because the band just isn't selling the song anymore. Rather this one is short because there's a fine YEM to come and, almost as if they realized that they shouldn't have tried to squeeze it in but simultaneously wish they had time to give it they HEAT it deserved, Trey (with Mike jumping in to help with the most perfect expression of his underwaterenvelopefilter tone in my memory banks) manages to crystalize the essence of the tour's groove into one single lick -- just one lick, repeated just the minimum number of times so that that they can move on to YEM while knowing that asses were properly moved...
Yes, the lick. You'll know it when you hear it.
You hear Trey break it out now and again even nowadays. My friends and I just call it "the Lick", but its full name, in Disco-Boogie-Heaven, is probably "The Essence of Phunk Lick". By whatever name, it manages to make you not even worry that the 2001 is among the shorter of the post-Awakening era Phish (everything that happened after the Wolfman's Brother you can hear on _Slip, Stitch and Pass_).
In Set 2 the Bowie falls apart tragi-wonderfully into Possum and then you get one of those great nuggets of ambient/pure boogie which dot the Great Fall tour and the killing-machine of a tour that is the Great Summer to come. And you will lick it up off of the greasy-nasty, sweat-stained floor...if you know what is good for you.
Thanks for listening.

Confidence means feeling good about yourself, especially in regard to accomplishing something — a new job, new assignment, or successful networking. Here are a few actions with real payoffs in developing self-confidence.
Move your body: When we feel better, we become more confident. Exercise gives us more energy. And energy is attractive: Energetic people magnetize others. Exercise not only increases strength and endurance, it also defuses anger and frustration, and gets the creative juices flowing.
Dress the part: Everything you put on represents a decision you have made and is a reflection of your good taste and good sense. We're not talking fashion statements but what works in a given environment to be effective. Also: Grooming is everything.
Breathe: Find sanctuary inside yourself. There is honor in standing still. We are so time-crunched, information-bludgeoned, downsized and multitasked that it's spiritually suffocating. Learn "belly breathing": Lie on the floor, be quiet and place your hands on your tummy. Breathe from your belly, letting it rise and fall. I've learned to belly breathe on elevators, in restroom stalls, and in the middle of crowded rooms when I need to calm down and focus.
Be disciplined: Keep your agreements. Be on time. Be mindful and in the present. That is a gift to yourself as well as others. Whatever we think and feel now creates what happens in the future. When we stick to the "now" and don't chase rabbits, we are involved and aware of opportunities. That has a huge impact on the quality of our relationships.
Give and receive: Give whatever you hope to receive in turn. When we circulate our positive energy, we create more to enjoy. Be open to giving to yourself.
Perhaps, as you read these ideas, you're thinking, "Yeah, so tell me something new. I know this already." To paraphrase one of my teachers, "Although we all know what to do, successful people do what they know."

The "Respect for our Flag program" is off to a wonderful start. The organization gave flag presentations to more than 20 third, fourth and fifth grade students at the School of the Osage upper elementary school. Newcomers /Longtimers gives 8 x 12" flags to all students in these, and upper grades, and flag stickers to lower grades.
The goal of NCLT's program is to teach the students how to honor and show respect the flag of our country. Any veteran, police or fire fighter is welcome to accompany one of our speaker to tell the students what the flag means to him/her. Donations to purchase additional flags would be appreciated as we hope to expand our presentations into the high schools and other area schools.

This Mother's Day weekend promises to be a lively celebration in Eagle and organizers of the new Eagle Outside Festival want local shutterbugs to share their images of the community.
"Picture Yourself in Eagle" is the theme of a special photography contest planned in conjunction with the festival. The town of Eagle is sponsoring the competition and invites both pro and amateur photographers to submit pictures that depict the community's "unique beauty, culture and lifestyle."
Cash prizes of $500 for first place, $350 for second place and $200 for third place will be awarded.
Photos submitted to the contest will be used to promote Eagle's tourism and recreation efforts. All photographs must be taken within a 15-mile radius of Eagle and can depict landscapes, events, festivals, attractions and activities.
Contestants are welcome to enter up to five photos per person. Photographers who are younger than 18 years old must have a parent or guardian's consent to enter the contest. Photos can be entered at EagleOutside.com until May 15 and winners will be announced on June 5. For complete contest rules, visit EagleOutside.com.
Images taken during the Eagle Outside Festival will be eligible for the contest. Scheduled for May 11-12 in Eagle, the Eagle Outside Festival will showcase the community's extensive trail network.
"We've made a commitment to increase the quality and quantity of our already substantial trail network," said Eagle Mayor Yuri Kostick. "We believe that Eagle offers some of the best riding in the Rockies, all within an easy drive of the Front Range. The Eagle Outside Festival shines a spotlight on what we consider to be a perfect early season riding option for the Colorado mountain biking community."
Accurately described as a "re-envisioning" of Eagle's former Get Out Expo, the new event incorporates many new elements for riders, runners and outdoor enthusiasts. First among them is the inaugural Firebird MTB Race and its counterpart, the women's only Firebird la Femme. Non-USAC sanctioned, the mountain bike events take place on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, and collectively boast a $10,000 cash purse with equal payouts for men's and women's fields.
The festival also features the first Rocky Mountain Bike and Outdoor Expo, a consumer demo boasting some of the bike industry's leading brands. Santa Cruz, Pivot, Ibis, Felt, Niner, Specialized, Yeti, Ellsworth, Twenty Two Cycles, Orbea, Wilier, Ridley, BMC and many more will all be on hand with their latest models. The free demo invites consumers to test ride their dream rigs all day long on Eagle's signature climbs and descents.
"With three great coffee shops, a very good brewery, some killer Mex, dining options galore and a full grip of trails leading riders from town into the back of beyond, Eagle is sort of an undiscovered secret," said event producer Mike McCormack. "The racing part is obvious, and we're thrilled to have the town's support in offering a sizable purse. The current dynamic as dictated by USA Cycling is universally unpopular - hopefully another great race without their sanction will prompt them to invest additional thought into their recent decision. Then again, maybe it won't."
"The demo is a direct extension of the success we've seen at events like Sea Otter, Interbike and Outerbike," continued McCormack, "People love to try the bikes they've only seen reviewed online or in a magazine. Events like these are packed with smiling people. With the industry placing more and more resources into dealer relationship and support demo-type programs, we think we've come pretty close to the mark in terms of offering a great venue along with tremendous energy and critical mass, all during the important early season purchasing period. And besides - what better way to introduce riders to Eagle?"
The event will also offer a no-cost set of Strava Challenges. Riders can test themselves on some of Eagle's signature climbs and descents, trying to best the local hammers and rippers for digital bragging rights.
There's more than just biking, though. New for this year is the Mother of a Half-Marathon, a downhill road marathon that sees competitors finish in the heart of Eagle Ranch. In addition, there will be a 10K longboard push race, a "Chro-Moly Chef" competition, and a wide variety of Mother's Day activities, including yoga, spa treatments, flower delivery, special meal offers from local dining spots and more.
For more information on the Eagle Outside Festival, the Rocky Mountain Bike and Outdoor Expo or any of the events held throughout the weekend, please visit www.eagleoutsidefestival.com site or check out the event's Facebook page.

Hello all,
first post. I've been messing with qcad and searching the web to see if I can use it to optimize layout of various rectangles inside another rectangle before I cut my wood. I'm sure this is probably dealt with somewhere but I can't find any reference to that sort of problem. If somebody could possibly point me in the right direction I'd be most grateful
