Q:What does K.O.S.S. stand for? Can we see some more pictures - even the thumbnail image sheds more light on the closure system than the actual product images do.Asked on 10/25/2013 by pawistik from Canada
6 answers
A:The closure mechanism is a single velcro strip ~3 in long. This aligns the
two ends and then it is a simple roll top bag with a buckle to keep
everything together. Then there are 3 side buckles to cinch it closed. I
love this bag. It is huge and very strong.

A:I think KOSS stand for something like Kitchen and Other Strange Stuff. This a really big bag with a really large opening. I use mine to transport a large bbq and nesting firepan on the river.

A:It stands for "Kitchens and Other Strange Stuff"!. One group I boated with on the Grand Canyon used theirs to hold all their cast iron skillets. Dutch ovens and other pots and pans. Lordy, it held a wealth of kitchen gear!Answered on 10/25/2013 by Clyde from NRS
A:It is an awesome, stand-up waterproof back with a typical roll and clip
type of closure, but with the addition of a lid/flap that cinches down
over the roll closure. Great, heavy duty "soft" bag for kitchen stuff,
firewood, of a bunch of soft goods. the flat bottom is good for attaching
to decks. Hope this helps.Answered on 10/25/2013 by Anonymous
A:I don't remember what KOSS stands for, but I really like this bag. It closes the same way that all other dry bags close with two halves coming together and then rolling up on itself. However, it also contains a separate square top that then covers the top like a compression sack. When you look at the picture you cannot see the rolled part of the bag actually sealing it up, only the compression top. It is a great bag and I took it on a week long whitewater trip with my family (2 adults + 2 kids under 10). We put the tent; sleeping bags; kitchenware; jackets; tools like hatchet, first aid, featherlight stove and such all in it and there was room for more. It fit nicely between the thwarts of the canoe adjacent to a ~50 qt cooler.
I thought it was expensive, but it held as much or more than a few smaller bags. I would buy it again.Answered on 10/26/2013 by Anonymous

NEW ORLEANS - "Big business can get away with murder," Robert 'Tiger" Hammond, president of the Greater New Orleans AFL-CIO, told the People's World here May 11. "And they are doing it right now!"
Three weeks after the Deepwater Horizon exploded off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 workers, over 200,000 gallons of oil are still being pumped into the ocean every day, potentially destroying thousands of acres of beautiful marsh land. Additionally, Gulf Coast wildlife - unique to the region - and the fishing industry face critical challenges in the months and years ahead.
Hammond, who also serves as the executive secretary for the Southeast Louisiana Building and Construction Trades Council, continued, "After three weeks they [BP] are on plan E. We don't know when the oil is going to stop."
Unfortunately, this is the second tragedy - in almost four years - Hammond has had to deal with. "First Katrina, now the oil," he said in a raised voice, visibly angry.
Before Hurricane Katrina, Hammond lived in St. Bernard Parish, one of the areas hardest hit by the disaster. "I had 11 feet of water in my house, 14 inches on the second floor. We were under water."
"We were rebuilding our lives, our futures! Now this," Hammond continued.
In the weeks following the Deepwater Horizon explosion it has become obvious that more government regulation is needed. In fact, Hammond connected the oil crisis today to deregulation during the Bush administration.
"George W. Bush vetoed a law that would have required a mandatory cut-off valve precisely for this type of crisis," Hammond said. "There has to be stiffer penalties, stiffer laws. Hundreds of thousands of people's lives are at stake. Hundreds of jobs are at stake - hotels, charter boats, restaurants, the whole tourism industry and the fishermen."
Hammond also said that he has seen a huge change in the federal government's approach to regulating big corporations since President Obama took office.
David Magee, vice president of International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) Local 3000, couldn't agree more. As we stood on the docks just outside of the local's trailer, he told the People's World, "The Obama administration has been part of our post-Katrina rebuilding success."
"Obama is on the side of the community, the workers, the fishermen," Magee continued. "BP, on the other hand, allowed this tragedy to happen. They were trying to save money. As a result, 11 lives were lost and our state, city and region are going to suffer."
ILA Local 3000 Secretary-Treasurer Chris Hammond added, "BP has made a lot of mistakes. They have been irresponsible. All of their safeguards failed. They need to be better regulated."
"This is a new Katrina," he continued.
With states all across the nation facing severe budget cuts, the impact of this crisis will also be felt in Baton Rouge, Louisiana's state capital. Off-shore drilling provides hundreds of millions of dollars in state revenue.
"Off-shore drilling provides revenue for the state that goes towards social programs and helps rebuild our infrastructure," Chris Hammond added, indicating that with better regulation this key regional industry could play a positive role in stabilizing the state's budget.
For a city still recovering from the wounds of Bush-era mismanagement and corporate deregulation, this crisis couldn't come at a worst time.
"There is a lot of anger and disbelief," Magee added. "The outlook is bleak. On the waterfront, once you lose work it is hard to get it back." Many dockworkers fear layoffs as ships are diverted to other areas to avoid the oil.
The oil pouring into the Gulf Coast can and will affect the economy of the whole region. If good paying, union jobs are lost in the docking industry, then jobs in the peripheral economy will also be affected - putting downward pressure on wages and benefits in the entire region, especially for tourism, a cornerstone of the economy here, providing hundreds of thousands of jobs.
As "Tiger" Hammond said, "Big business thrives on failure." Unfortunately, it is precisely this type of failure that has allowed BP to rake in billions of dollars in profits while the people of Louisiana get stuck cleaning up the mess.

About the Book
"The sort of compulsive page-turner that keeps readers up at night….Both timely and scary….Guardian of Lies more than satisfies."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Washington Times
Defense attorney Paul Madriani is caught in a web of deceit and murder involving Cold War secrets, a rare coin dealer who once worked for the CIA, and a furious assassin in Guardian of Lies, the most entertaining novel yet in the New York Times bestselling series. Steve Martini, #1 bestselling author of Shadow of Power, Double Tap, and other acclaimed Madriani thrillers, demonstrates once again why he's one of the genre's masters, along with John Grisham, David Baldacci, James Patterson, John Lescroart, Brad Meltzer, and Scott Turow.
Defense attorney Paul Madriani gets caught in a web of deceit and murder involving Cold War secrets, a rare coin dealer who once worked for the CIA, and a furious assassin in one of the most entertaining novels yet in this New York Times bestselling series.
Together with his partner, Harry Hinds, Madriani must piece together the threads of a decades-old conspiracy involving priceless gold coins, an aging American spy, a disaffected Russian soldier, and a forgotten weapon from the days of JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis. As the separate strands of the story come together, Madriani finds information that will ultimately lead him to the one person who holds the key to it all: a man some call "The Guardian of Lies".
In this fascinating thriller from New York Times bestselling author Steve Martini, Paul Madriani faces his most challenging—and most urgent—case yet, a breathless story that combines fact and fiction and will hold readers captive until its final, explosive conclusion.

I saw this on another board and I thought it was cute. Personally, I have given up a lot of things to be a parent. But...there are just some things that I can't do without I work in retail so I spend $150 on shoes twice a year. I can not be productive at work if my feet hurt. I also buy a Starbucks coffee once a day. II am also a toilet paper snob, I have to buy Quilted Northern, but I have learned the great value of couponing, and my "Walmart" budget is down to $20 a month which includes tp, paper towels, shampoo, shaving needs, etc, except for diapers/wipes. I have given up mani/pedis, expensive hair cuts, going out to eat every other day, and spending a ton on clothing.
What can you ladies just not give up?

Looks like Blake Shelton's dad is going to pull through after being hospitalized, which had the country singer so emotional during the American Country Awards Monday night (Dec. 5).
You might remember Blake referred to his dad, Dick Shelton, after accepting an ACA trophy, saying, "He's been having a pretty rough couple of weeks, and I know he's watching tonight. I love you, Dad, and I dedicate this to you, man." Blake also got a little choked up during his performance of "God Gave Me You" later in the show.
Turns out Blake's dad had gone into the hospital that night with pneumonia, and Blake flew home to Oklahoma right after the show to be with the family.

"Ferdinand is a red fox kit who begins life in a den with his brothers and sisters. Readers observe him and his siblings getting milk from their mother and, as they grow, waiting for her to bring them food. Also discussed are foxes' keen senses and how meaningful play teaches them to thrive in the wild. The story, which takes readers through the course of a year, concludes with Ferdinand's gradual approach to independence as he must hunt on his own. Each spread includes a large, engaging photo and a paragraph or two of text. The book concludes with additional facts about red foxes and short activities about their life cycle and diets. No sources are listed. The brief text does not have much depth, but it is accurately touted as being a "fun-to-read story and a launch pad for discussions and learning."–Stephanie Farnlacher, Trace Crossings Elementary School, Hoover, AL School Library Journal
"An irresistible kit fox greets the reader on the cover of this book and draws one into the world of Ferdinand and his family of red fox. Facts about the kit fox's life cycle, adaptations, and food preferences abound in this exquisite, photographic journey through the first year of life." (May 2013)
NSTA Recommends
"Ferdinand and his siblings explore the world with their senses, putting new things in their mouths to taste and feel. They point their ears toward sounds and explore their incredible sense of smell. The kits practice pouncing on prey by jumping on each other and play fight to learn defenses. By the end of the summer, Ferdinand is putting all these things to use to find his own food, and next spring, his own kits will be learning the same lessons."...(January 2013) Kirkus Reviews

Cholesterol or Inflammation: Which is More Detrimental for Your Heart?
More people are telling me that their cholesterol numbers are too high for their age when they're only around 180 to 190. This used to be considered very good. And as a person ages it used to be that the number went up to something around 220. Now the number has gone down to somewhere between 160 and 170. This is very suspect considering the facts. It's time to know the truth about cholesterol.
Some time ago I wrote an article on fats and oils where I discussed the cholesterol myth. Heart surgeon Dwight Lundell, MD confirmed that information. He states, "the recommendations regarding lowering cholesterol are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated."
He adds that the long-established dietary recommendations of the no-fat or low-fat diet have created epidemics of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.
Though 25 percent of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before. And statistics show that as many people die of heart disease that have low cholesterol as those that have high cholesterol. We need to ask why we keep using this protocol when it isn't working.
Inflammation–The True Cause of Heart Disease
Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol will accumulate in the walls of the blood vessels and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol will move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped and collect in blood vessels.
Inflammation is your body's natural defense response to a foreign invaders such as a bacteria, toxins or viruses. The cycle of inflammation protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if you chronically expose your body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process, chronic inflammation occurs. Chronic inflammation is as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.
Though few people deliberately expose themselves repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to cause injury to the body, with the exception of smoking, many people do this by simply following the recommended mainstream diet that is low in animal fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and refined carbohydrates. This causes repeated injury to our blood vessels and creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.
The biggest culprits of chronic inflammation include an overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils that include soybean, corn safflower, and sunflower that are found in many processed foods, salad dressings, mayonnaise, fried foods, and snack foods. Also, smoking causes inflammation and injury to blood vessels
Dr. Lundell says, "Take a moment to visualize rubbing a stiff brush repeatedly over soft skin until it becomes quite red and nearly bleeding. If you kept this up several times a day, every day for years, what do you think would happen? If you could tolerate the pain, you would have a bleeding, swollen, infected area that became worse with each repeated injury. This is a good way to visualize the inflammatory process that could be going on in your body right now."
Dr. Lundell adds, "Regardless of where the inflammatory process occurs, externally or internally, it is the same. I have peered inside thousands upon thousands of arteries. A diseased artery looks as if someone took a brush and scrubbed repeatedly against its wall. [This happens because] several times a day, every day, the foods we eat create small injuries compounding into more injuries, causing the body to respond continuously and appropriately with inflammation."
Foods loaded with sugars, simple carbohydrates that turn to sugar easily, and foods processed with omega-6 oils for long shelf life have been the mainstay of the American diet for six decades. These foods have been slowly poisoning everyone by creating an inflammatory condition. How does eating a simple sweet roll, a dish of pasta, or a bowl of ice cream create a cascade of inflammation to injure your arteries and make you sick?
Blood sugar is controlled in a very narrow range. Extra sugar molecules attach to a variety of proteins that injure the blood vessel wall. This repeated injury to the blood vessel wall sets off inflammation. When you spike your blood sugar level several times a day, every day, it is exactly like taking sandpaper to the inside of your delicate blood vessels.
While you may not be able to see it, or feel it, the damage is still occurring. Dr. Lundell said he saw it in over 5,000 surgical patients spanning 25 years of practice, who all shared one common denominator — inflammation in their arteries.
When you look at sweet rolls, donuts, or commercially baked cookies, those innocent looking goodies not only contains sugars, they are baked in one of the many omega-6 oils such as soybean, corn, sunflower, or safflower oil. Chips and fries are soaked in omega-6 oil; processed foods are manufactured with omega-6 oils for longer shelf life. While omega-6's are essential –they are part of every cell membrane controlling what goes in and out of the cell — they should be in their whole state as found in seeds or vegetables and must be in the correct balance of 3:1 omega-6 and omega-3 fats.
If the balance shifts by consuming excessive amounts of omega-6, the cell membrane produces chemicals called cytokines that directly cause inflammation. The American diet has a significant imbalance of these two fats. The ratio of imbalance ranges from 15:1 to as high as 30:1 in favor of omega-6. That's a tremendous amount of cytokines causing inflammation.
There is no escaping the fact that the more we consume prepared and processed foods, the more we trip the inflammation switch little by little each day. The human body cannot process, nor was it designed to consume, foods packed with sugars and soaked in omega-6 oils.
What can you do to turn off inflammation in your body? Eat whole foods in their natural state. Choose only carbohydrates that are complex such as fruits and vegetables. Juice every day and include ginger root–an anti-inflammatory ingredient. Omit sugar and all sweets; use only stevia as a sweetener. And, use only virgin, organic coconut oil, olive oil or butter from grass-fed beef.
Animal fats contain less than 20 percent omega-6 and are much less likely to cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labelled polyunsaturated. The "science" that saturated fat alone causes heart disease doesn't exist. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also very weak. "Since we now know that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, the concern about saturated fat is even more absurd today," says Dr. Lundell.
The cholesterol theory that led to the no-fat, low-fat recommendations in turn created the very foods now causing an epidemic of inflammation. Mainstream medicine made a terrible mistake when it advised people to avoid saturated fat in favor of foods high in omega-6 fats. We now have an epidemic of arterial inflammation leading to heart disease, obesity, and other silent killers. By eliminating inflammatory foods, juicing fresh vegetables and including ginger root, and adding essential nutrients from fresh unprocessed food, you will reverse years of damage in your arteries and throughout your body from consuming the typical American diet.

Thank you for the truth. Now, I have been exercising 4 to 5 days a week, taking Garcinia Cambogia (2 a day) and am still fat. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, just big around the gut. I'm 64 years old, black female, and will never retire. I have all your books, and really don't know where or when to start. I make some of your drinks and enjoy them very much. Maybe I need to go to a clinic, have tried numerous doctors, don't send me there!
What is your opinion on organic cane sugar and organic maple syrup? I have heard they have many good nutrients/minerals in them….
I have two questions. Is there a substitute for ginger in juices? We really don't like the "bite" or taste of it. And second, we have been trying hard to eliminate sugar and other nasties in our diet, but we love ice cream. Does one bowl a day totally negate all of our hard work or is it okay to have this one treat every day?
I have been drinking soymilk for the last 18 months. My chol. was
checked in Nov. and was 182 with RX, but was checked again this month and jumped to 240. Now they have changed my RX again for
the 3rd time.
What could be causing the jump, when it seems everything is the same.
All of this is good news to meat lovers (I'm not one), but, I'm leary of any new studies. I've given up eating eggs for 30 years, and now they are fine. As well as how many other things (I gave up eating meat eons ago because of the health studies.)
I'm exhausted from all the changes.
Please give me help with controlling blood pressure. I am 68, work and do lots of volunteering . I never had a problem with blood pressure in my life until recently . Thank you
I don't think juicing every day is so good for our health. You said omit sugar and all sweets, but fruit juices for example, they are full of sugar that may rise your blood sugar. What do you think? I like your article, very informative, never thought that cholesterol is not a direct cause for heart disease. Thanks!

The Man Behind The Name
But Amir isn't a stranger to having to prove himself when the big opportunity arises. Only six years after he started fighting competitively at the age of 11, his first test came as he prepared to compete at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Despite hesitancy from his home country to back someone who was only a teenager, Khan's prowess in the ring against fighters much older than himself—winning gold at the World Junior Championships, and a notable second-round TKO of Victor Ortiz—finally led England back to Khan.
Being the only British boxer at the Games, Khan did not disappoint as he brought home the silver medal, his only loss coming to 33-year-old Cuban Mario Kindelan in the final. "I got beat by a guy that was already a two time Olympic champion. He was Cuban. And Cubans are like professionals. Six months down the line I fought him again and beat him," says Khan.
Nonetheless, Brits were pleased with the 17-year-old that they sent as their sole boxing representative to that year's games. As expected, in a scenario with the appropriate soundtrack of Mike Jones' "Back Then" anthem, Khan returned as a national hero, and is now an Olympic ambassador for the 2012 Games in London. No longer is he the baby-faced kid who hadn't nearly seen enough experience in the ring to represent his country, now he's both the present and future of British boxing. England's history of great fighters like Naseem Hamed, Lennox Lewis, Ken Buchanan, and Joe Calzaghe left some pretty big boots to fill for Khan, who turned professional at 18. But by 22 he won his first world title and now, two years later, he holds two light welterweight titles.
When I got beat by [Prescott], that's when I kind of changed everything. I moved away from all the distractions in England, I changed my whole team and how things go.
The path to becoming one of the youngest champions in boxing history was no cake walk. One of his most defining moments actually came via a loss. In his Sky Box Office debut (England's Pay-Per-View outlet for top boxing matches), Khan suffered his first and only professional defeat in a first-round knockout by Breidis Prescott on September 6, 2008. In 54 seconds, nearly five years of hard work, moving up through the professional ranks, was lost. That fall, following the embarrassing loss, Khan's trainer Jorge Rubio was fired and Freddie Roach was brought in. But even one of Britain's top boxing prospects realized that you can't make the world's top trainer come to you, you have to go to him.
"When I got beat by [Prescott], that's when I kind of changed everything. I moved away from all the distractions in England, I changed my whole team and how things go. Now I've got a new conditioning instructor in Alex Ariza and a new trainer in Freddie Roach, one of the best trainers in the world."
Not only did the move to Los Angeles bring Khan some of the best training in the world, it also brought the best sparring partner in the form of boxing's pound-for-pound king, Manny Pacquiao. That fateful decision to move led to a bit of redemption in December 2008 when he defeated Irish fighter Oisin Fagan for the WBA International lightweight title in London.
Four fights later came his U.S. debut as he faced New York-native Paul Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden to defend his WBA light welterweight title. Khan made American boxing fans take notice as he pummelled Malignaggi before the ref stopped the fight in the 11th round.
Beating a fighter in their hometown is something that Khan will have to do again as he faces Peterson this weekend in the boxer's turf in Washington D.C. But hometown favoritism is just another motivating factor for Khan, who is thousands of miles away from home but still feels he has the advantage. "It makes me train harder, to be honest with you. It makes me want to go in there and win this fight more comfortably. It makes me want to go in there and knock him out because I don't want to let this be a close fight. It's the best feeling to beat someone in the place they're from."

T-Rex Had a 12' Penis
pics and shit on the site
Ever think about dinosaur sex? Paleontologists do. And they've come up with some surprisingly specific ideas about how the prehistoric beasts were able to mate despite their enormous size and weight--and despite the horns and other bony appendages that might have proven bothersome when the creatures got hot and bothered.
The males and females of modern-day birds and reptiles have a single body opening for urination, defecation, and reproduction--something called a cloaca (Latin for sewer). Paleontologists believe that dinosaurs had the same basic equipment, and that they coupled by pressing their cloacas together.
No penis is needed to perform a "cloacal kiss." But some birds have penises and crocodiles sport penis-like "intromittent organs," and male dinosaurs might have had something similar. As you might imagine, a dinosaur penis might have been pretty big--perhaps up to 12 feet in length for T. Rexes.
But how did Mr. Dino ever get his cloaca near Ms. Dino's? By mounting her from behind. At least that's the view of many paleontologists, including one Beverly Halstead, an Englishman who became known for his candid talk about dinosaur mating before his death in 1991. For an article that appeared in the now-defunct science magazine "Omni" magazine in 1988, Dr. Halstead said:
All dinosaurs used the same basic position to mate. Mounting from the rear, he put his forelimbs on her shoulders, lifting one hind limb across her back and twisting his tail under hers to align the cloaca.
Some of Halstead's present-day counterparts concur that that's the way dinos did it.
"I don't think there's much doubt about that," Dr. Gregory M. Erickson, an evolutionary biologist at Florida State University, told The Huffington Post in a telephone interview. But, he acknowledged, "It must have been a hell of a thing to see."
See dinosaur sex in the flesh? Dream on. But you can find images of dinos doing the deed on many webpages, including this one. And the same magazine article that quoted Dr. Halstead featured eye-popping depictions of dinosaur sex (see slideshow below) by Ron Embleton, an English artist who died in 1988.
Are the images dinosaur science--or dinosaur porn? Have a look and let us know in the comments what you think.

HEPHZIBAH, Ga. -- The coroner tells News 12 the man suspected of killing his girlfriend and then shooting himself has died.
He was taken off life support Saturday afternoon. Deputies have identified him as 51-year-old Daniel Gray.
The victim, believed to be his girlfriend, is 42-year-old Sandra Mae Studer. She did not live at the home. Autopsy results reveal she died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Deputies responded to Gray's home on the 3100 block of Bath Patterson Road in Hephzibah Friday night.
Initially, investigators responded to a murder-suicide, but the man was put on life support. Deputies believe Gray's gunshot wound was self-inflicted. They are working to find out if he shot his girlfriend.
Gray's body will be transferred to the GBI crime lab for an autopsy on Monday.

If you stay on this boulevard heading north in a car, eventually it turns into a highway that goes 40 minutes to Progreso's beach and cruise ship dock, on the Gulf of Mexico.
It's a long, hot walk to get here from the center, however, so most visitors see Paseo de Montejo on a horse carriage ride or take a taxi to the end and walk back via Santa Lucia and Santa Ana parks.

Western Cape – a case study in corrupting power
The province of the Western Cape offers an object lesson in the dangers of a bureaucracy operated by an absolute majority.
In this province, an opposition party won a small but absolute majority in the elections of 2009.
Stem takties
Tuisskolers wat hul stemme in the verkiesing uitbring, moet duidelik verstaan watter effek hul stem kan hê op die toekoms van tuisonderwys. Soos elders op hierdie blad aangetoon, kan die tuisskoolstem vir die eerste keer in die geskiedenis 'n invloed hê op wie saampraat wanneer daar in die vergaderings, komitees en wandelgange van die nasionale en provinsiale wetgewers oor tuisonderwys gepraat word.
Power corrupts – an object lesson
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely", the historian and moralist Lord Acton wrote in the nineteenth century.
We would apply that to democratic governments as well. Absolute majority in parliament seems to corrupt absolutely.
Vote for homeschooling!
What happens after the elections?
After the elections, those whom we have voted for will contribute to determine the future of homeschooling. And the elections of 20014 is probably the first time since the nineteenth century when the homeschooling vote can have a measurable effect on who represents home education in the legislatures of our country.

éS Game of SKATE in Phoenix, AZ
Winner: Diego Najera
The first éS Game of SKATE of the season went down today in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Desert West Skatepark—the first of the modern wave of skateparks in the Phoenix area. Ed and Trent and the Cowtown boys were out in support—the Cowtown crew is always supportive of skateboarding events and know how to do it right.
Two-hundred twelve skaters signed up, and fortunately the temperature at start time was only about 90 degrees–fifteen degrees cooler than a couple of Games of SKATE we've done there in the past. Although there were a number of Game of SKATE regulars back to skate the contest, there were definitely a lot of new faces. In the end, though, the finals came down to Ike McVickers, Derek Hamm, and last year's winner Diego Najera. Diego won the rock-papers-scissors and never looked back, going through about 16 tricks to hammer the letters on Ike and Derek, who both hung tough for a while before finally succumbing to that last "e." For Derek it was a nollie backside heelflip and for Ike a switch 360 flip. Diego took out both guys without ever giving up control–some good work for the youngster from El Centro, California.
We'll be seeing Diego in SoCal in the Fall at the éS Game of SKATE Finals, date and location to be announced. Thanks to Cowtown, TransWorld SKATEboarding and Skull Candy for being part of the Game of SKATE… we hope to see you next year!

Q My wife is due with our first child in about four months, so I thought now would be a good time to talk to my employer about taking time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act and possibly making some more permanent changes to my schedule so I can be a more hands-on dad. I mentioned this to a friend who used to work with me, and he warned me to be very careful. He said that after he took paternity leave, he was passed over for a promotion and got a smaller bonus. He eventually quit. I find that hard to believe, but he insists it's true. Are companies really allowed to do that?
A Theoretically, no. Under the federal version of Family and Medical Leave Act, your job is protected and your employer isn't allowed to penalize you in any way. (Some states have their own family leave programs and the rules may be different, so I encourage you to look into both very carefully.) Unfortunately, there's sometimes a big disconnect between what companies are allowed to do and what they actually do. Even if the company does everything exactly by the book, individuals within the company -- meaning your managers and co-workers -- can always find a way to skirt the law.
It sounds like your friend had an unpleasant encounter with what researchers are now calling the "flexibility stigma." In some societies, being the provider is central to a man's identity, in much the same way as being the nurturer can be ingrained in a woman's identity. This is true to some extent in the United States. In other words, we equate working with masculinity and caring for children with femininity.
Here's where things get complicated. When a man requests family leave, he's no longer behaving the way some employers think men are "supposed" to. As a result, the people around him start to see him as more feminine (weak and uncertain) and less masculine (competitive and ambitious), according to Rutgers University researchers Laurie Rudman and Kris Mescher.
Rudman, Mescher and another team of researchers led by Joseph Vandello at the University of South Florida found that the penalties men pay for asking for family leave are pretty heavy. The men are seen as not serious about their jobs, they get lower evaluations from co-workers and managers and, like your friend, they may get passed over for promotions and get smaller raises than male co-workers who act more like "real men" and don't request time off for family reasons.
Some readers will point out that women have been dealing with a flexibility stigma for years, and that they pay a steep financial price when they move from the fast track to the mommy track. That's absolutely true, and corporate America should be ashamed. But according to Scott Coltrane and his colleagues at the University of Oregon, "Men who leave the workforce for family reasons can expect to earn 26.4 percent less later in their careers than they would have had they never left the workforce. Women face a 23.3 percent financial penalty."
Now that you know what you may be up against, the big question is: What can you do to get what you want? The most effective approach is to tell your boss your plan and propose some metrics you can use to evaluate whether the changes you're proposing are working for you and the company. If you get any pushback, point out that companies with family-friendly (and, specifically, father-friendly) policies have happier, more productive, more loyal employees and higher shareholder return than less family-friendly companies in the same sector. It's really hard to argue with that.

Use for acrylic yarn?

Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post
I have a ton of acrylic from my first few months of knitting. It's all just sitting in a hamper feeling neglected. The only acrylic I've worked with lately has been the Simply Soft Shadows I made a mini-Clapotis from and the Simply Soft I'm using to crochet an afghan.
It's great for afghans that you want to be able to toss in the wash. Also good for presents for people who you know won't care for hand-wash items properly. Or kid stuff. I also use it for practice runs for new stitch patterns or estimating gauge/needle size for self-created patterns. I don't do this as much anymore though.
One big thing about gifting acrylic items... wash them before you give them away. That first wash softens things up considerably and makes the item feel much nicer.
I guess I'll try to use some of my acrylic for crochet projects. Problem is, I don't crochet much.
Ideally, I'd like to pass some of it along to someone who is starting out knitting/crocheting or who does use a lot of acrylic. I feel bad that it's all just sitting there. At least the rest of my yarn stash (the good stuff) gets fondled regularly. Hehe.

A North Carolina custom shop has made a big name for itself on eBay, customizing motorcycles and selling them in the states and overseas.
The Bike Exchange in Gastonia sells between 25 and 40 customized Harley Davidson motorcycles every month, says "Big Mike" Nowling, the custom business manager. Since opening in 2007, the shop has sold close to 800 bikes on eBay, Nowling told the Gaston Gazette.
The shop has had sales in 35 of 50 U.S. states, selling parts as well as whole motorcycles. Parts account for between $10,000 and $30,000 in sales monthly, which translates to several million in sales for the last few years, Nowling says.
Owner Steve Hardy runs the shop with Shop Manager Tripp Kirby and Nowling. They build their creations from used Harleys purchased at auction or Harley; the shop also takes trade-ins.
The average Bike Exchange Harley is spoken for in seven to 10 days, about the time it takes to turn the raw materials into a custom ride.
Hardy says sales dropped by half in 2009 and 2010. Things are looking up, but he doesn't see that as reason to get reckless. "We had a couple of extremely profitable years before that," he says. "If we had gone out and blown that instead of saving, we wouldn't be talking to you now."

Roger remains Fans' Favourite
22.11.2010 | Off Court, Starseite 2
Roger is admired for his work on and off the court and continues to be a fan favourite by millions of fans around the world, who have voted him as ATPWorldTour.com Fans' Favourite for a record eighth consecutive year. Our champ received 47 per cent of all votes, followed by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Thank you all for your votes!
I have voted for you as fans' favourite at every opportunity and I truly believe you are the best tennis player I have ever seen in over 65 years of watching. It really upset me today when I saw you walk on with the very young mascot: you never even looked at him and he must have been so thrilled to be there with you. You are not alone in this but take a leaf out of Novak's book - he is certainly setting an example in how to treat these young fans. Win on Sunday please but smile at the mascot
OMG Roger ... so enjoy you doing well. Keep up the good work, and stay focused. Lots of luck for the games ahead.
Congratulations, Roger, you totally deserve it!

SCOTT SNYDER Talks New BATMAN Back-Ups, NIGHT OF OWLS Event
SCOTT SNYDER Talks New BATMAN Back-Ups
Rafael Albuquerque
Now he's back at it again, this time with his hit series Batman, which is adding a 10-page ongoing back-up story beginning with April's issue #8.
The back-up stories will tie into the main story by Snyder and ongoing Batman artist Greg Capullo. They will also highlight the Court of Owls history as the title heads toward "The Night of The Owls" event that begins in 2012. "Night of Owls" will be featured in not only Batman, but also most of the other comics in the Batman universe, and will expand upon the "Court of Owls" story that Snyder is telling.
The first four issues of the back-ups will be co-written by Snyder with James Tynion IV, a new name in the comics' world. Tynion taught writing with Snyder, who describes him as a "huge talent."
The stories will also feature art by, who works with Snyder on the Eisner Award-winning Vertigo title American Vampire.
The news about the page and price increase broke on Newsarama on Friday in an interview with DC sales execs John Rood and Bob Wayne. Then this morning, DC released information about the back-ups stories.
Newsarama contacted Snyder to find out more about the new co-features and what readers can expect from the change to Batman.
Newsarama: Scott, when was the decision made to increase the page count and price on Batman, and what was the motivation for the change?
Scott Snyder: I know fans are nervous and excited, but also some of them have reached out to me. I have a lot of story I want to tell that involves the Court of Owls, and I had artists that I really wanted to work with.
I had the option, because I have a lot on my plate, of having another writer do a back-up or doing something completely unrelated to Batman in the back-ups, the way they did in some books, but I had so much fun doing the back-ups on Detective with Francesco [Francavilla] in those early issues, that gave added content and added story and secret storylines to the main story and the main feature, that I figured, look, if they're going to do extra pages of the book, I want to do them myself.
So I signed on to do the back-ups. So I'll be doing them for the future, indefinitely.
Nrama: There's no planned end to your back-up stories?
Snyder: No end in sight.
Nrama: So who are you going to be working with on the back-ups?
Snyder: I thought is would be a really fun chance to bring in new blood, both artistically for the art, and writers who people haven't seen before also on Batman or on major comics at all.
So two things I'm really excited about with the back-ups are that I'm going to be writing the first batch with a writer I've known for a long time, whom I actually met when I was teaching fiction in comic writing and who is a very young, up-and-coming writer whose stuff I really, really like. I've read a lot of his prose, and I know he's just a huge talent. And so I thought it would be a lot of fun to co-write the same way I was able to do that on Gates of Gotham with Kyle [Higgins] when he was starting out. I feel like co-writing on the Batman back-up would give someone new a chance to begin to find their voice, and at the same time, I can have a very heavy hand for what happens in Batman.
We thought that would be a great balance, so I'm writing it with a guy named James Tynion IV. And I think he's a real rising star, and I'm excited for people to see what we're doing in the back-ups.
And the other thing I'm super excited about is that we're going to be launching it with Rafael from American Vampire. I was so thrilled when that came together.
So Rafael will be doing the first four back-ups for us, so 40 pages. And I couldn't be happier about that. He's my co-creator and one of my best friends in comics. And he's just a guy who, you don't get any better than him.
And also, his style is really perfect for what we're going to be doing in the back-ups, and it's very different than Greg's. And Greg and he have a lot of admiration for each other. He's a huge Greg Capullo fan. Greg would love to draw them if he could, but we'd never keep on schedule, even though he's so far ahead. So the feeling was really to get guys we both really like. So it's going to be a lot of fun to have a bigger team as well.
Greg will still see the back-up stories, and they'd coincide with what's going on in the feature. And our hope is just to make the whole book a better book.
Nrama: How does the content of the back-ups enrich the feature story and what will they focus upon?
Snyder: The first one, in issue #8, Rafael's first one, is going to be contemporary. It's really going to be almost more of that issue.
I don't want to give away too much about what's happening in that issue, but this is the point in our Court of Owls story, since it's 11 issues long, where everything is sort of exploding all over the place figuratively for Batman and Gotham. It's right in the middle of a kind of war for Gotham, for its soul.
So everything's going crazy, and this issue in particular, in issue #8 and the back-up, gives you the sense of the scope of the attack that the Court of Owls is planning on unleashing on Gotham, and how impossible it's going to be for Batman and his allies to do as much as they need to do to stop it.
The back-up really gives you the sense of the scope. Issue #8 is very much about Batman at war with the court in a way that's going to be super-intense and fun.
The issue #8 back-up is the place where you'll learn about how broad the attacks are going to be on Gotham, and also, you'll learn about how it's going to affect other books in the Bat-family. You'll see the scope of it as it impacts other members of the Bat-family in the back-up, which leads into the "Night of the Owls" story people have been hearing about, that we're doing in the Batman Universe in 2012.
So you'll learn a lot about the Wayne's relationship to Gotham and to the Pennyworths, you'll learn about the Pennyworths, and you'll also learn about, above all, the Wayne's history and conflict with the Court of Owls.
It will have big revelations that will reverberate in the feature as well.
Nrama: What time period is that in Gotham history?
Snyder: It takes place 30 years ago, before Alfred was caretaker of Wayne Manor. And I don't want to give too much away, but there's a lot of suspense in it because Jarvis believes something terrible is happening, and he's telling you what's been going on with the Waynes and the Court of Owls.
Nrama: Then to finish up our discussion about the back-up stories, is there anything else you want to tell Batman fans?
Snyder: I just want to say that I sympathize with people who are worried they can't keep the book when it goes a dollar higher. All I can say is two things: One, you're getting 30 pages of story now for $3.99 when a lot of other companies give you a 22-page book for $3.99. So there is a deal to be had. We're not just raising the price. We're adding pages as well.
It's also content that I promise to do my best to make as good as possible, personally, as the steward on Batman. I promise to deliver stories on those pages to make it worth your while out of gratitude to all of you who have been reading the book and have been so supportive to Greg and me.

"The best of the North Trail, with aspens, wildflowers, and jaw-dropping views."
— Nick Wilder on Jul 6, 2013

Take a
Virtual Ride
RestrictionsClosed April 15-June 15.
DescriptionThis trail is better ridden east to west, as shown here. Access the start of this trail by either riding North Trail - Middle Section or up the short and easy Buffehr Creek Connector. This trail is also called Trappers Run.
Start up an easy, smooth, gradual ascent up deep aspen forest. It's thick and lush here with lots of wildflowers, and you can't hear the highways, which is a nice bonus. It's a good climb, but relatively easy for this area.
Arrive at the top of the climb to a meadow with expansive views from the Gore Range all the way to the Holy Cross Wilderness. This is one of the better views in the entire Vail Valley.
Start the descent with well over a mile of gradual descending through beautiful aspen forests. The trail then gets quite steep for about a half mile and a little looser. This would probably be rated difficult if you were ascending here, but the descent is not too hard.
Arrive at a dirt road. If you're tired, there's a quick escape to West Vail to the left, but to get some more singletrack, go right. Follow this road into and out of a creek and find the last bit of the North Trail singletrack on your left after half a mile. This last section has some smooth, pretty easy switchbacks down to the valley floor.
This trail isn't very long, but it's damn good!

The Monroe County Coroner's Office is awaiting autopsy results to determine what killed a 76-year-old Polk Township man found dead Saturday morning at the bottom of his swimming pool.
Verlyn Landuyt's son found him at the bottom of the half-covered above-ground pool, county Coroner Bob Allen said. A forensic autopsy was performed Monday at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
Allen said it appears at this time that a medical issue may have caused Landuyt's death.
An Iowa native and grandfather married for 32 years, Landuyt served with the U.S. Army in Europe, graduated from the University of Iowa and then joined Mead Johnson in Indiana and later Bristol-Myers Squibb in New York City.

It's on my list! Let me know how yours turns out!
Costco has the Kitchen Aid 5 quart mixer for $299 + a $30 mail in discount. Now is the time to buy one if you need a stand up mixer.
Love my KA, wouldn't trade for anything.
No kidding. It is the only thing that stays on my counter top and I really need that space. Amazing toy. Like to see the test kitchen for durability on these things!
Steve bought me one for last Christmas, wouldn't part with it
But the next time that I have to get a stand mixer, it'll be another brand like Bosch or Globe. The newer larger 6-quart KA stand mixers crap out too prematurely!! The gears are the culprit! From what I've read about them, they are not suitable for kneading dough for bread.
So I will not be looking at KA for another one.
I am the King of Kitchen Toys!!!!!!
We have had a Kitchenaid 5 1/2 quart professional series for many years. It has never let us down or fallen short for home cooking. Including bread making and meat grinding.

I will have an advance on the season in tomorrow's paper.
And in other news, Carlos Harris posted a photo of UNT's new helmet on his Twitter account. It looks nice. I'm not a big uniform guy, but the players seem to like it.
Today was also Champions Day for the UNT football team:

Former Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, who has been known to show up at UNT was on hand and spoke at the event that is one of the traditional lead-ups to UNT's season-opener.

"However, as great as Gore-Tex has proved itself for the past 25-or-so years it's nothing compared to the technologically groundbreaking fabric used in ROADGEAR's Adaptive-Tec Jacket. Known as Outlast, it is out of this world. Literally...
"...In my case, it has become first choice for use under a wide range of riding jackets,...
"...Actually, the Roadgear Adaptive-Tec jacket is so comfortable that I don't even bother to take it off when I'm in the office...
"...It packs high technology, value and incredible comfort in very lightweight garment."Motorcycle Consumer News
"...This covert ops-like thing was definitely lightweight, but could it do the job?
"...it's based on stuff originally patented for NASA and the USAF.
"...It's very comfortable to wear because of its weight and feel. I think it makes the grade style-wise. It's very wearable off the bike, as well. You can drop your overcoat and wear it in both cooler and warmer climes, so it's got multipurpose covered. It's easy to pack since it compresses to a small package...it's not cheap, but makes up for it in versatility, lightness and appearance. The Adaptive-Tec Jacket is one of those don't-leave-home-without-it items."Cruising Rider
"Utopia for motorcyclists would be climate-controlled: not too hot, not too cold. Unfortunately, that's not reality, because you can't be in command of-or really, even predict-the weather. With the ROADGEAR Multi-Season Adaptive-Tec jacket, however, you can outwit it. This thin, lightweight underlayer features Outlast ... to protect against extreme temperature fluctuations. It's excellent under a jacket or riding suit, or, off the bike, on its own."Cycle World
"... the technology was first developed for NASA to keep astronauts comfortable in the temperature extremes found in outer space ... this "fabric of the future" is good news for motorcyclists.
"What is strange is that I can notice a difference in how the Adaptive-Tech jacket or vest can keep me cooler in warmer temperatures, like when I'm wearing it indoors. This is counterintuitive to me-I assumed that basically any sweater or jacket would make me warmer, but it's hard to believe that wearing a jacket can actually keep me cooler as the temperature rises.
"The few Outlast-equipped garments we've tried have been impressive. It's a subtle feeling; the clothing does not make one immediately warm or cool, but they do seem to keep the temperatures in a more comfortable range.
"The Roadgear Adaptive-Tec jacket and vest are nicely styled and are probably the first motorcycle insulated clothes I've owned that also use for street wear and feel good doing it. In effect, these are multi-purpose garments that are useful both on and off the bike, making them a relatively good bargain."
Read Full Reviewwebbikeworld.com "Some of the greatest advances in mettallurgy and fabric technology have spun off from forays into the cosmos (not to mention giving us "Tang" orange drink!). The latest buzz word on the street is "Smart Fabric Technology".
"Roadgear recently introduced their Adaptive-Tec Jacket. As an alternative to fleece, the jacket is fashioned from temperature-sensing fabric patented for NASA and the U.S. Air Force.
"I found the jacket to be quite comfortable because of its thin, lightweight design. During a few days on the Oregon coast in October, the jacket was sufficiently warm against the cool sea breeze. While hiking along the ridge line of the coast, I wasn't particularly overheated even during long uphill treks.
"But the design of the jacket lends itself best to layering under your outer riding gear ... I found the Adaptive-Tec fit best under most looser-fitting synthetic riding jackets. And when the ride is over, you have a comfortable, nice-looking jacket for an evening in town or around the campfire." BMW Owners News
