Still a deplorable choice for Labor
In all his years in government, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., has nurtured his image as a crusader for ethics and justice. During his 20-year reign of terror as state attorney general, he was quick to litigate people and institutions he thought nefarious and dishonest. Think Microsoft, Big Tobacco and HMOs. As a senator, he has resumed his campaigns against gun owners and manufacturers to burnish his image and give Americans the (false) impression he is one bill away from "ending gun violence."
But his obsession with upholding the rule of law doesn't extend to other Democrats and their patrons. Think Chris Dodd and Countrywide Financial, and now Thomas Perez, President Obama's nominee for Labor secretary. An assistant attorney general for civil rights, Mr. Perez has advanced the far left's agenda throughout his career. On that note, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating an episode suggesting Mr. Perez will resort to sleazy means to impose his ideology.

Anderson County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested two men Wednesday after a residential burglary in Briceville.
According to a Sheriff's Department new release, the resident was asleep upstairs when he heard someone break into his home and walk up the stairs. When the resident called out, the intruder ran back down the stairs and fled the home.
The resident then went next door to a neighbor and they both saw a white Jeep leave the area, the release said. The neighbor followed the Jeep in a vehicle, but lost sight as it traveled toward Lake City.
The information was relayed to deputies who were responding to the call and a short time later they spotted the Jeep, stopped it and detained the three occupants.
After investigation,18-year-old Michael Allen Matlock of Briceville and 18-year-old Roy Joseph Chapman of Lake City were charged with aggravated burglary in connection with the burglary. Both were taken to the Anderson County jail, where they are being held pending a bond hearing.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

Activate Your Hope Chakra
Practice yoga with Chrissy Carter's Chaturanga Vinyasa Flow video on GaiamTV.com.
It is impossible to know hope until one has experienced hopelessness — that feeling of suffocating permanence, as if you will be forever trapped in your present situation. In a place of hopelessness, all feels irrevocably lost. We harden and brace ourselves for permanent pain in the same way that we gather and store reserves in preparation for a long, hard winter. It's as if the shutters have been closed and all the lights turned off. Lost in the darkness, we succumb to avidya (ignorance), the belief that our finite experience is all-pervasive and interminable. Helpless, hapless and hopeless, it is impossible to imagine a light at the end of the tunnel, and we start to lose sight of the big picture.
But in these times, hope can be a light in the darkness, filtering through the slats in the shutters, shifting the shadows in our dark room from ominous to promising. Suddenly and against all odds, we can find compassion for ourselves in the face of suffering.

BRECKENRIDGE - It was Halloween night and Chris McIntyer and Ellen Christman were getting ready to take their child trick-or-treating, when they heard a woman screaming for help from a nearby house.
They recognized the voice of their next-door neighbor and knew she was in danger. The couple had come to the woman's aid before when her boyfriend had become abusive.
But that night, when Christman tried to call 911, the phone line went dead.
McIntyer left to go find a police officer, while Christman went over to the neighbors' house to try to coax her hysterical neighbor out of the home.
Through a window in the door, Christman watched as the woman's significant other locked the door and dragged the neighbor away by her hair.
Christman began banging on the door, trying to yell to the victim that help was on the way. McIntyer was able to locate and return with several law-enforcement officers who forced entry into the house and arrested the man.
"Ellen and Chris acted with bravery in the face of a dangerous situation," Frisco detective Julie Polly said. "They put themselves at great personal risk and they took great action to try to end an act of violence and may have saved a life."
The Frisco Police Department and members of the law-enforcement community recognized Christman and McIntyer for their actions Wednesday with the first-ever Community Courage Award, presented during a short ceremony at the Summit County Sheriff's Office.
Domestic violence experts said neighbors and community members are often afraid to get involved when they witness abuse, considering domestic violence to be a private, family affair.
"We have a great deal of respect and admiration for the fact that you chose to get involved in what was happening and chose to go the extra length to get help," Advocates for Victims of Assault director Amy Jackson said. "It means a lot to us as a community that you would take those steps."
Christman and McIntyer said they had helped their neighbor in similar situations during the time she lived next door, sometimes offering her rides to friends' houses when the situation deteriorated.
Christman said she and her husband simply did what needed to be done.
"It was the right thing to do," she said. "I hope we can inspire other people in the community to get involved and not be afraid to speak up for people that maybe can't speak for themselves."

Was born from an ancient recipe for a hard cheese snack chewed by the people of the Himalayas. In the mountains surrounding Mt. Everest at more than 15,000 feet, it is made using traditional methods with yak and/or cow milk, and all natural products with no preservatives or binding agents. They're also gluten-free! Depending on the size and eating habits of the dog, this can be a very long-lasting dog chew. Dogs must work the end of the treat for hours, softening it with their mouths before small parts of it can be slowly chewed off. When you give this treat to your dog, you know that you are providing them with high-quality eating entertainment.more
yakySNACKS are our line of USA made treats. They include: yakySTICK, yakyTOPS, yakyCHARMS, yakyPUFF, yakyNUGGET and yakyCRUNCH. We are also pleased to introduce four new items to the yakySNACKS line! They are yakyYUM, yakyCHURRO, yakySALMON, and all new flavored formulation of yakyPUFF. The yakyYUM and yakyCHURRO come in flavors as well, providing different flavor profiles for your discerning pup, while maintaining the same great HImalayan quality that you love and trust.more
Ruff Roots are 100% natural dog toys that offer a sustainable alternative to rubber or plastic toys. Ruff Roots originate from the roots of shrubs or trees in the Mediterranean Heathlands. All Ruff Roots are hand-harvested and ecosustainably sourced from Spain. Only the tuber of the root is harvested which then sprouts again. Ruff Roots are great chew toys for furniture chewers or any dog that loves to play with sticks. Unlike sticks or furniture wood, Ruff Roots do not splinter. They serve as a natural toothbrush and help decrease plaque on teeth. Ruff Roots are also great teething toys for growing puppies! Ruff Roots are best for keen and powerful chewers. They are extremely long-lasting. They are made by nature and bring our four-legged friends back to their roots!more

Senior center Barrett Jones returns to UA practice
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:37 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The Crimson Tide got some welcome injury news Tuesday when senior center Barrett Jones rejoined his teammates at practice for the first time since bowl preparations began. Jones sustained a foot sprain in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game against Georgia on Dec. 1 and had missed nine bowl practices while recovering.
The Rimington Trophy winner as the nation's top center vowed from the locker room after a 32-28 win over the Bulldogs that he would recover in time to play in the BCS National Championship Game against Notre Dame on Monday. That prediction had begun to look questionable with Jones riding a stationary bike with a cast, then a boot, on his foot for the first two weeks of bowl practices.
UA coach Nick Saban said Jones would also be running on a treadmill as part of his rehabilitation and would be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. In Jones' absence until Tuesday, reserve center Ryan Kelly had been practicing with the first unit in practice.
A four-year starter and the Crimson Tide's most experienced player, Jones has keyed one of the nation's top offensive lines this season and is in position to win three national championship rings while starting at three different positions if Alabama defeats the Fighting Irish.
Jones will have three practices in Miami to strengthen his recovery.
A six-day business trip in pursuit of a 15th national championship begins today as the Crimson Tide begins on-site preparations.
The Crimson Tide (12-1) will hold its final on-campus practice this morning before boarding a chartered flight for Miami at 1:30 p.m.
"We have been progressing well," offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio said. "There is always room for improvement so we just need to keep going. Notre Dame is impressive up front. They are as good as anyone we have faced. I am really excited to play these guys."
UA coach Nick Saban will address the media with a brief news conference from the airport upon the team's arrival. The Fighting Irish (12-0) are scheduled to arrive in Miami later in the afternoon.

That's a long list of…chicken. Some good recipes here but where's the variety? There are plenty of healthy recipes that call for beef and other meats as the main ingredient. And what about seafood?! I see a small handful here, but looking through 90+ chicken recipes gets super boring after the first ten or so.

Autism Speaks U Rocks for Autism on the Vans Warped Tour
This is a guest post by Christina-Marie Drake. Christina is a 20-year-old student at Defiance College, where she is President of the Delta Pi Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, a cheerleader, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, a Citizen Leader, a pageant winner, and a Mixed Media Studies major. She is an Autism Speaks U Student Leader and helps to spread awareness and raise funds for those affected by autism.
As a San Diego, Calif. native, I started getting involved in the local music scene at age 14after spending five years in concert band where I learned to play over 13 instruments! While working in San Diego with local bands, I started putting on benefit concerts. The first was for breast cancer as part of my Teen Miss Lakeside 2006 pageant platform. The next concert I put on was for children's diabetes, which raised $6,000. Most recently, my insanely crazy but fun schedule took on another task, a self-made project called "Rock For Autism." I began working on my "Rock For Autism" (RFA) project using the contacts I have made in the 3 years I was involved. This new project, in addition to the benefit shows already put on, got me national recognition from Seventeen magazine, The Quill, and local papers around the states.
I moved to college where my sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, partnered with Autism Speaks around the same time. I was preparing to invest in the creation of my "Rock For Autism" project. After the sorority partnership, and my work at the YMCA and college with some students who have autism, I decided to contact Autism Speaks in hopes of gaining their support, too. I was then introduced to Autism Speaks U, an initiative of Autism Speaks that works with college students who host fundraising, awareness and advocacy events. They welcomed my project with open arms. By the time I got in touch with the organization, RFA had already participated on a variety of local tours with bands including The Summer Set, Every Avenue, Hotspur, There For Tomorrow, Hit the Lights, Sparks the Rescue, Four Year Strong, Blink-182, and AFI. The next undertaking was this year's Vans Warped Tour.
Vans Warped Tour is a national tour that services an average of 12,000-15,000 kids a day with a variety of acts. During the tour, RFA will have a booth set up that will be fundraising for Autism Speaks U in an innovative way that will appeal to the student demographic. RFA will have a dice game in which everyone wins for just a buck! Prizes range from pins to skatedecks and more, all while spreading awareness and education to the next generation autism will affect more directly. The tour will run June 25-August 11 and you can come by the booth at any time at any of those cities to support the cause! Click here for a list of cities.
For those of you not able to attend the tour dates, connect with me on Twitter @ChristinaRFA for immediate updates or make a donation to my online fundraising page.

PHOENIX -- Brett Anderson likes international baseball competition.
He pitched for Team USA in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and he was on the mound for three scoreless innings Tuesday as the A's beat Team Italy 4-3 in an exhibition that helped the Italians gear up for the World Baseball Classic.
Anderson said that he'd like to pitch in the WBC if it works out. As it is, he is the last U.S. pitcher to collect a win in the Olympic Games, hurling seven innings to beat Team Japan in the bronze medal game in Beijing.
"It would be better if it had been for the gold," Anderson said after his one-hit, one-walk effort against Italy. "It's too bad they've taken baseball out of the Olympics. They're doing it to wrestling, too, and that was like the first Olympic sport effort. It's too bad they are taking those sports out and leaving others in."
Anderson will have to wait for international competition until at least the 2017 WBC. Meanwhile, he's settling in as the opening night 2013 pitcher for the A's. He has four more starts before he faces the Seattle Mariners in the season opener at the Coliseum.
"When is that, April 1?'' he said. "I should know that. I'm just getting ready now. My command was OK today, and my velo (velocity) is not quite there yet."
The A's took a 4-0 lead after three innings behind Anderson and held on, not getting the final out until getting the call on a bang-bang play at the plate in the top of the ninth.
Starter Bartolo Colon gave up four runs in the first inning and another in the second. He didn't walk anyone but yielded five hits, including a solo homer to account Kansas City's run in the second.
The A's got nine hits but were never in the game. Hiroyuki Nakajima doubled and scored a run and John Jaso and Miles Head each had RBI singles.
Reddick, a huge fan of WWE wrestling, has taken the challenge by the WWE's Daniel Bryan to spend the rest of this year growing the fullest and most luxuriant beard possible.
The winner will be determined by fans voting online at the end of the year, and "the loser has to shave it all off,'' Reddick said Tuesday.
"I'm already hearing trash talk from his fans," Reddick said of the challenge, which he accepted Tuesday morning. "I know a bunch of the WWE guys, but I've never met him."
Reddick reported to FanFest in Oakland in January with a full beard that he started growing in November. Bryan reportedly has been growing his beard for about 12 months.
"He has a bit of a head start," Reddick acknowledged. "Here's hoping I'm a fast grower."
Reddick has been known to alter his facial hair depending on his batting average and run production, so he called teammate Coco Crisp aside after striking the deal.
"I told Coco that if I was tempted to shave, don't let me do it," Reddick said.
He said that he may be at a bit of a voting disadvantage; he has about 35,000 Twitter followers (@joshreddick16). Bryan has about 580,000 (@WWEDanielBryan).

NEW ORLEANS -- The Bay Area had one bright spot: Portland guard Damian Lillard.
The Oakland native defended his title in the Skills Challenge during Saturday's festivities at All-Star weekend.
The new format paired players together, so Lillard and Utah rookie guard Trey Burke took the title.
"To be able to do it again and be the skills champ along with Trey, it was a great feeling," Lillard said.
Lillard is making history this weekend. He will be the first player to compete in five events during All-Star weekend. He also took part in the Three-Point Shootout and Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday. He lost his matchup in both events.
Friday, Lillard had 13 points, five assists and five rebounds in the Rookie Challenge. Sunday, he will come off the bench in the All-Star game. He said he'll definitely have enough energy for the grand finale.
"That's the ultimate goal, to become an All-Star when you come into the NBA and win championships," he said. "Being able to play in that game is big to me, and I'm excited about it."
"For real, it's a dream come true," said Belinelli, whom the Warriors drafted No. 18 overall in 2007 and traded to Toronto two years later. "I remember when Larry Bird was in the Three-Point Contest, and he won again," Belinelli said. "And now I'm in the same place. I won the trophy. So it's just something tough to describe."
Belinelli took advantage of the new format, which gave the players one rack with all money balls for 10 possible points. Each time, Belinelli made three of the five.
In the final round, he made 11 of his last 14 to get 21. But Washington's Bradley Beal made four of his last five to force a tiebreaker.
In the bonus round, Belinelli made 8 of 10 to run away with the title.
"Can you believe that?" he asked, still shaking his head with a big grin on his face. "The worst part is we finished fourth."
The former NBA three-point specialist was still flabbergasted it took him, Stephen Curry and WNBA sharpshooter Becky Hammon a minute, five seconds to make four shots in the Shooting Stars competition on Saturday.
Hammon, from the baseline, and Dell Curry, from the top of the circle, knocked down the first two shots quickly. The Warriors' star guard, however, needed three attempts to make a 3-pointer from the right wing.
With 12.4 seconds left, they headed for the half-court shot. It was Hammon -- not Stephen Curry, who hit three half-court shots in practice earlier Saturday -- who ended the suffering and finally hit the half-court shot on the trio's 16th attempt.
The heavy favorites to win -- moments after TNT analyst Kenny Smith called the Curry's the best shooting family in NBA history -- bombed in their All-Star Weekend debut. And the elder Curry was still a bit shocked.
And to top it off, to compound the bewilderment, Chris Bosh led his team -- which featured legend Dominique Wilkins and WNBA star Swin Cash -- to victory by shooting 66.7 percent from half court.
"He went 2 for 3 from half court," Dell Curry said, still flashing his disbelief smile. "How about that?"

Customers can buy from ANYwhere, and want their products shipped to EVERYwhere. Shipping Business-to-Consumer (B2C) no longer just means residential delivery. It's the ability to go beyond their home, and include locations more closely aligned with how they spend their time – at work, at school, and in their neighborhood. To remain competitive, businesses must offer delivery options that sync-up with customer's lifestyle.
That's where Business-to-Retail (B2R) comes in. B2R allows customers the option to have a package delivered to a retail location rather than their home. How does this help me, you ask? Let's say you order that electronic device for your daughter that she's been bugging you to get for the longest time. But you don't want the item shipped to your home because no one will be there during typical delivery times and you definitely don't want the package left outside your door. So to avoid the frustration of a missed delivery, you choose to have the package delivered to a retail store near where you live. When the store receives your package, you are notified and you pick it up. Simply said, B2R gives you more control over how your purchase reaches you allowing greater flexibility for deliveries.

Had tons of fun practicing some songs with the two, as they're both better than I am. Browsed through Bic Camera afterwards. Lots of amusing commentary. Had dinner at an izakaya. Learned so many things about the Japan IT industry from the conversation. <laugh> Their college stories were also hilarious. They had such characters in their university! We talked about many other things, but I'm too sleepy to record them.
Wonderful weekend. =D

Justin Bieber is writing his own version of "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll."
The 19-year-old singer reportedly spent $75,000 in one night Monday at a strip club in Miami, Florida.
King of Diamonds, the club, outed the singer on Twitter, writing "Justin Bieber is at @KOD_miami strip club in Miami and just ordered 75K in dollar bills. OMG."
OMG indeed. Who had to hold all 75,000 bills while Bieber went to town?
TMZ reports that Bieber flew from Colorado to Miami Beach and joined a birthday celebration for rapper Lil Scrappy at the club. TMZ says a spokesperson for the club confirmed Bieber dropped $75,000 during his visit.
Wait until Bieber gets home to find personal invites from the other 100,000 strip clubs in the U.S. of A.
The report comes less than a week after police reportedly found marijuna and cocaine during a search of Bieber's home in a case involving the singer allegedly egging his neighbor's house.

ANTIOCH -- Antioch Unified trustees unanimously approved contract extensions this week for its top four administrators, including locking up Superintendent Donald Gill for the next three years.
The move extends the contracts of Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Stephanie Anello, Associate Superintendent of Business Service Tim Forrester, and Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Keith Rogenski by two years, through June 2015.
The extensions include merit raises for Gill, Anello and Rogenski. As of July 1 of this year, Gill's base salary is $221,432, Anello's is $167,443 and Rogenski's is $155,761 -- the first raises since all three were hired or promoted to their current positions.
"We feel like we have a great administrative staff that has worked really hard, so we wanted to be able to honor them and also keep them," board President Joy Motts said. The board analyzed salaries in comparable districts and felt the increases were "not too overzealous but warranted," she said.
Gill's new salary is an increase of about $12,090, while Anello's is $6,882 and Rogenski's is $6,441. Forrester's base salary is at $174,779. As a classified employee, his merit raises are determined by the district's management salary schedule, and a satisfactory evaluation by his supervisor.
His salary was moved up to the top step effective Aug. 1.
The district estimates the new contracts will cost about $33,000, which includes the base salaries, retirement contributions, workers' compensation and other medical coverage costs, Rogenski said. The majority of that amount will come out of grant funding from the James Irvine Foundation, while $8,000 will come out of the district's general fund.

Recent Patch/Tape Reviews
Gear Aid Tenacious Tape
Stronger and more aesthetic solution than duck tape. This is the only gear repair tape I've used, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I got this tape with the intention of repairing this terrible tear that I created on interior fabric of my rain jacket. I cut out a generous amount and applied it directly to the tear. The great thing about this tape is that so far, none of the edges of the tape have frayed after application. I will probably buy more for future use. This tape is a much better solution… Full review
Gear Aid Tenacious Tape
Toughest gear repair tape I've come across. Hasn't failed me yet. This tape is much stronger than duct tape and can be used to repair everything from packs to rain jackets. I first used this tape as a last minute repair on a well used ULA pack before heading into the Rockies. The tape not only held up for that trip, it is still holding up over 2 years later and multiple trips into the woods. I have since used tenacious tape to repair another backpack (Golite) and fix several places on my Marmot… Full review

I tried a coloured American patch tape with disappointing results. In particular, the patch slid across the fabric and left a sticky mark. I wasn't happy. Then I heard of Tenacious Tape by McNett's.

When a vehicle has received three or more citations violating the policies of A&M - Texarkana, then the UPD has the authority to render the vehicle immobile by utilizing the MITI- Immobilizer Once it is determined by the Chief of Police, or his designee, that a vehicle needs to be booted, the yellow Administrative Copies of all of the citations for the vehicle will be placed in the Open case folder in the UPD.
B. When such a vehicle is located on the A&M – Texarkana property the boot may be installed on the vehicle according to its instructions. The officer shall attach the neon Immobilizer Notice in a conspicuous place that a reasonable person would locate on the vehicle. After the boot is applied, the UPD shall complete the "Installed" portion of the "VI" form and it will be attached to the citations in the Open case file in the UPD. The officer will ensure that a new Incident number is assigned to the case.
C. When the owner of the vehicle responds to the UPD, payments will be processed according to standard procedure. If the owner of the vehicle cannot pay the fine in full, they will be offered the "Fine Agreement." The owner must provide a valid state issued identification or the A&M - Texarkana student identification card. The "Fine Agreement" portion of the form shall be completed entirely by the UPD. If any of the citations are in reference to a no parking sticker then the agreement is contingent on the owner purchasing the standard $25 parking sticker at this time. The UPD will have the owner sign the "Fine Agreement" portion of the document and they will be given a photo copy of the "VI" document. After the payment has been processed and the "VI" form has been completed then the UPD will remove the boot from the owner's vehicle. At this time the UPD will release the vehicle to the owner. The UPD shall verify that the "Removed" portion of the "VI" form has been completed, and this will ensure that all appropriate steps have been taken during the process and the incident has been properly closed.
D. If the owner defaults on the terms of the "VI" then the UPD has the right to immobilize the vehicle again utilizing the boot. The Chief of Police, or his designee, will determine if a vehicle needs to be booted for the second time. A new "VI" form will be attached to the yellow Administrative Copies of all of the citations and a copy of the original "VI" form and they will all be placed in the Open case folder in the UPD.
E. When the owner of the vehicle responds to the UPD, payments will be processed according to standard policy. The UPD will not remove the boot from the vehicle until any unpaid fines are paid in full. Once the fines are paid in full by the owner, the UPD will remove the boot from the vehicle. The UPD will only complete the "Removed" portion of the second "VI" form because the fine was paid in full and a payment agreement was not an option. The owner will not receive a copy of the second "VI" form.

Thanks a lot! Strangely enough though, the Kickstarter thing is starting to feel like harder work than the coding part of it.
After our first Kickstarter failed at 92% funding, we did a minor graphical overhaul and relaunched. Here's Antharion's new Kickstarter:

I want them to feel what success feels like. To see them come together as a team and fight through adversity, I'm really proud of them."
Senior Latisha Harris

Adair tore her ACL going into her senior year of high school and went to junior college for two years and South Florida for two years.

'Aftermath' Press Release
Soundtrack to "War Story" Is Available Today
at Amazon and iTunes
LOS ANGELES, CA (Monday, August 25, 2014) — Aftermath, music from and inspired by the independent film "War Story," represents a plethora of "firsts" for Amy Lee, founder/ vocalist/songwriter for the multi-Platinum rock band Evanescence. It marks her most significant entree to date into the world of film scoring, her first album release since 2011's Evanescence self-titled album, the first time she's worked on a project of her original material that wasn't a full-blown, high-budget major production, and it represents an entirely new writing process. Aftermath was a collaboration between Lee, Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer, and while the music on it may be a 180-degree turn from what Evanescence fans have come to expect, it has Amy Lee's fingerprints all over it. Aftermath is available digitally today, Monday, August 25 viaAmazon.com and iTunes (Ingrooves).
Today's the day! Get Amy's new album & soundtrack to War Story on iTunes and Amazon.

"More Q and A with me on AFTERMATH with James Montgomery and Rolling Stone!" -Amy
Read HERE
Amy Lee – Aftermath (Teaser)
"Making music for War Story was a truly liberating creative experience. We were being guided by an artist (director, Mark Jackson), who was not only open to, but encouraged us to think outside the box and go with our inspirations. It was really cool and different to have a mission for a scene— to be guided by what feelings we needed to evoke to illustrate the characters and situations. Sometimes we would end up with things that were very different from the original vision, and sometimes that would inspire Mark and he would fall in love with the left turn. We also ended up spinning off into creative tangents and getting extra music that didn't end up in the film and that's a big part of why we really wanted to make this album. There was so much extra music that we really loved and felt deserved to be finished out and shared. This body of work is a collection of our favorite songs and instrumental score pieces that we're created over the last year while working on War Story." -Amy

Quality Bicyle Products (QBP) launched a new line of bikes this month under the name Civia Cycles. From QBP.com they are described as "High-end bikes and products designed for practical everyday transportation". No pictures yet, but the blog on the Civia site notes that they will be launched at Interbike 2007.

For those of you who don't know QBP - ask any shop. They describe themselves as "the shop behind the shop". They provide special order and stock for most smaller shops (and probably the bigger ones too).

Glenn R. Houle, 81, of 143 North Main St. Apt. 7, Canandaigua, was charged at 6 p.m., Oct. 16, with second-degree criminal mischief, said Ontario County sheriff's deputies.
According to police, the suspect caused $8,500 of damage to the victim's motor vehicle by allegedly pouring two quarts of his own urine over the interior of the vehicle, along with inside the defroster vents. The interior damage rendered the vehicle unusable and the damage was covered by the victim's insurance company, deputies said. The incident occurred at 6 a.m. Oct. 2, police said.
Other charges are still pending, police said. An order of protection is in place — issued by the Phelps Town Court — which orders the suspect to stay away from the victim, deputies said.

Over the past decade conservation groups have put considerable effort into educating consumers and changing patterns of household consumption. Many groups aiming to reduce overfishing and encourage sustainable fishing practices have turned to new market-based tools, including consumer awareness campaigns and seafood certification schemes (e.g. the Marine Stewardship Council) that have been well received by the fishing and fish marketing industries and by the public in many western countries. Here, we review difficulties that may impede further progress, such as consumer confusion, lack of traceability and a lack of demonstrably improved conservation status for the fish that are meant to be protected. Despite these issues, market-based initiatives may have a place in fisheries conservation in raising awareness among consumers and in encouraging suppliers to adopt better practices. We also present several additional avenues for market-based conservation measures that may strengthen or complement current initiatives, such as working higher in the demand chain, connecting seafood security to climate change via life cycle analysis, diverting small fish away from the fishmeal industry into human food markets, and the elimination of fisheries subsidies. Finally, as was done with greenhouse gas emissions, scientists, conservation groups and governments should set seafood consumption targets.

Orphan Train (Paperback)
Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. Would they be adopted by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood and adolescence of hard labor and servitude?
As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world away. Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful existence on the coast of Maine, the memories of her upbringing rendered a hazy blur. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past.
Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through her keepsakes and possessions, she discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they appear. A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and out of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past.
Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.
Praise For…
"I was so moved by this book. I loved Molly and Vivian, two brave, difficult, true-hearted women who disrupt one another's lives in beautiful ways, and loved journeying with them, through heartbreak and stretches of history I'd never known existed, out of loneliness toward family and home."
-Marisa de los Santos, New York Times-bestselling author of Belong to Me and Falling Together
"In ORPHAN TRAIN, Christina Baker Kline seamlessly knits together the past and present of two women, one young and one old. Kline reminds us that we never really lose anyone or anything or--perhaps most importantly--ourselves."
-Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle
"I loved this book: its absorbing back-and-forth story, its vivid history, its eminently loveable characters. ORPHAN TRAIN wrecked my heart and made me glad to be literate."
-Monica Wood, author of When We Were the Kennedys
"Christina Baker Kline writes exquisitely about two unlikely friends . . . each struggling to transcend a past of isolation and hardship. ORPHAN TRAIN will hold you in its grip as their fascinating tales unfold."
-Cathy Marie Buchanan, author of The Painted Girls
"Christina Baker Kline's latest wonder, ORPHAN TRAIN, makes for compulsive reading...Meticulously researched and yet full of the breath of life, Kline's novel takes us on an historical journey where survival depends upon one's own steely backbone, and the miracle of a large and generous heart."
-Helen Schulman, author of This Beautiful Life
"A poignant and memorable story of two steadfast, courageous women...A revelation of the universal yearing for belonging, for family, for acceptance and, ultimately, the journeys we must all make to find them."
-Kathleen Kent, author of The Heretic's Daughter and The Traitor's Wife

Logitech Harmony Touch review
A remote control for all your devices that takes some cues from smartphones. But does it succeed?
A remote control for all your devices that takes some cues from smartphones. But does it succeed?
Logitech has firmly ensconced itself in the world of AV through its Harmony universal remote series.
We can't imagine any Wotsat reader needs a universal remote for more than 12 devices but we've all got stacks of gear (probably) but only tolerate using only a couple of remotes at the most to control them.
Most universal remote controls are based on the simple notion of replacing your existing remotes with one handset, and advanced users can set up macros – sequences of commands for several devices.
Meliconi may not be that well-known a brand here, but it claims to have produced Europe's first universal remote control in 1992. This 6-in-1 controller sits at the lower end of its current range and has a build quality to suit its budget intentions.
This universal remote is the only zapper on the market that will operate Sky, Sky+ and SkyHD set-top boxes, as well as those from Virgin Media, Freeview and integrated receivers, says its maker, Meliconi. It enables you to operate up to six devices of any brand.
The main selling point for the Jumbo Universal Remote from Innovage is its distinctive over-sized design. At nearly a foot long, you're unlikely to lose it down the back of the sofa, and the 1in buttons make it ideal for those with impaired vision or dexterity.
Whether you have Windows Media Center or a range of media you'd like to access without having to touch your laptop, this gadget is perfect. Comprising a tiny USB link connector and a 2.4GHz RF remote, you can access your media from up to 15m away
Universal remotes are a great way to take control of your entire AV system - especially when that system becomes rather extensive. Logitech's latest model in its Harmony line has the power to command up to 15 separate items
