We carry Schmidt, Shutter Precision, and Shimano dynamo hubs; Supernova/Cinq5/Tout Terrain and Sinewave Cycles smart-device chargers; and dynamo lights from Busch & Mueller, Supernova, and Schmidt. We offer expert dynamo wheel builds. The majority of the bikes we sell go out the door with handspun wheels and dynamo systems. Get in touch if you have an interest.
* * *
Like disc brakes or, say, Gates Carbon Drive (belt drive), dynamo lighting is one of those things you just have to experience in order to appreciate.
Here's why we recommend dynamo lighting:
--You don't have to worry about your lights getting stolen and thus you don't have to remove your lights and shove them into your pockets anymore
--You'll never lose or leave home without your lights
--You don't have to worry about your lights dimming
--You'll never have to replace batteries
--You do get to enjoy features like a rear brake light (see our Busch & Muller collection)
--You do get to charge your smart phone, Garmin, or other GPS device simply by riding your bike (see The Plug III, the Busch & Muller Luxos U, and the AXA Luxx70 Plus). You will not be able to satisfactorily charge larger smart devices such as iPad.
--While it costs more up front, in the long run you save money.
What about the extra weight of the dynamo hub? The lighter dynamo hubs on the market are 200-300 grams heavier than most a non-dynamo front hubs. And the batteries in non-dynamo lights weigh...200-300 grams.
Regardless of what kind of bike you have, what kind of brakes you have, or the size of your wheel, we'll handbuild you a complete new wheel built around a Shimano S701 dynamo hub for $250 including labor and parts. We wire up your bike with the lights of your choosing, and mount them where it makes most sense for you and your bike.
Right now we're recommending Busch & Mueller Toplight Line Plus with Brake Tec ($55; that's the one with the brake light) for the rear and the Busch & Mueller Luxos U headlight ($234), which features a USB charger, a handlebar-mounted switch, wider light dispersion, and a super bright 70 lux (along with the ability to beam 90 lux for short periods). And of course it has a standing light so it stays on while you're stopped at a red light.
For the rear light, the vast majority of our Portlandistan customers choose the rack-mounted B&M Top Light Line Plus with Brake Tec, $55. It pulses and it has a virtual brake light that's activated by deceleration.
This was our most popular dynamo hub through 2013. 6v, 3.0 watt output. Works ideally with your touring or commuting bike. It can also power most smart devices via a handlebar-mounted USB port, in conjunction with a Busch & Mueller Luxos U or AXA Luxx70+ front light. But we have a better idea: for $50 more, you can get a superior Shutter Precision PD-8 or PL-8. Those are now far and away our preferred hubs.
Shimano Alfine S701: $125 hub only, or $230 built into your existing rim The Alfine S701 is one of the first 1.5 watt (6 volt) hub dynamos with German StVZO approval for LED lamps. It combines filigree appearance, light weight (only 433g, vs. 575g for the S501), and extremely smooth rotation. Powers many front and rear lights easily--except for the newer very powerful lights, such as B&M Luxos. When this hub is used, your big powerful lights won't put out normally. Also, if you plan on charging a smart phone (such as with the Tout Terrain The Plug III or the Luxos U light), do not use this hub; get a normal 3-watt hub instead, like the Shutter Precision, for $25 more. The Shutter Precision hub is lighter, too.
This is now by far our most popular dynamo hub, going into about 90% of our dynamo wheel builds. SP dynamo's hubs are not only the lightest, but also the most efficient 3w hub on the market, and are virtually identical to the BioLogic Joule 3. The lightest SP dynamo weighs in at an unprecedented 360-390g (lighter than the little Shimano S701 1.5w!) while attaining an unmatched efficiency of 72%. These 3w dynamo hubs are premium products designed and engineered for the most demanding cycle tourists, commuters and enthusiasts.
Although various colors are occasionally available, usually we can get them only in silver or black.
Schmidt SON28. Price: $346 hub alone (price may vary with color); $450 built into an existing rim
This is traditionally the world's most highly regarded dynamo hub. Its very similar in performance to the Shutter Precision hubs.
Want to charge your iPhone or other smart device even if you don't have a Luxos U or AXA light? Tout Terrain's The Plug III ($189) is one of the best converters on the market, second only to the Sinewave Cycles Reactor. For use only with 3w dynamo hubs. Doesn't work sufficiently well with 1.5 w hubs. One advantage The Plus has over the Luxos U and AXA lights is that it's probably less likely to be stolen.
This is a nifty and highly efficient USB charging port that channels current from any standard 3w dynamo hub to charge smart devices such as phones, Garmins, and other GPS devices. It can also be used to recharge USB-rechargeable batteries for your lights or other devices. Not designed to charge iPads or other large smart devices directly. With a little wiring re-work that we can do, The Plug will function even while your dynamo is also powering front and rear lights, although you will have to maintain a speed of around 15 mph for all of that to happen. Otherwise, this latest version of The Plug charges even at slow speeds, starting at about 6 mph. That's a nice benefit to bike tourers hauling heavy loads.
Finally, it's pretty inconspicuous and is considered relatively theft-resistant.
A challenger to The Plug is the American-made Sinewave Cycles Reactor ($220). Similar to The Plug but even less conspicuous (there's not a single letter, number, or graphic on it), the Reactor has two big advantages over The Plug III: first, it begins charging at under 4 mph, and second, it lets you charge a device even while the dynamo powers your lights. All the electronics are encased in resin, so the Reactor should be weatherproof and shock resistant.
The Bikepacker Pro is a dynamo light intended for off-road use, and in that application, with a narrower beam, it's brighter than the brightest Busch & Mueller or Supernova headlights, which excel on the road. Can be used in conjunction with a dynamo-powered USB charger such as the Sinewave Cycles… [more]

The S701 hub is notably smaller and lighter than the S501, but it produces only half the output: 1.5W instead of 3W. (All other dynamo hubs we carry produce 3W).

Distinctively small and lightweight, Eyc T Senso Plus puts out a very bright light that is ideal for city riding and for riding at less than racing speed.

Skip to comments.Sources: No Indictments Wednesday in CIA Leak Probe
Posted on 10/26/2005 9:36:57 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative
A special prosecutor who has spent nearly two years investigating the leak of a CIA agent's identity is not expected to announce his long-awaited conclusions on Wednesday.
Sources told FOX News that no indictments or other legal action were expected just yet by the federal grand jury investigating the leak.
Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney in Chicago, was making his final presentation to the 18-member grand jury on Wednesday. The jury's term expires on Friday.
Meanwhile, the White House was attempting to go about its normal business, albeit under a very dark cloud: two top aides, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and Karl Rove, are at the center of the probe, and on Tuesday lawyers involved in the case revealed Vice President Dick Cheney may have tipped off Libby, his chief of staff, to the agent's identity.
Fitzgerald and the grand jury convened at the U.S. District Courthouse at 9 a.m. EDT, just two days before the jury's term is set to expire. Until then, when they decide to announce their findings is entirely at their discretion. Fitzgerald also has the option to extend the grand jury's term.
On Tuesday, investigators interviewed neighbors of the woman at the heart of the case, Valerie Plame. Marc Lefkowitz, who lives across the street from Plame, was interviewed by two FBI agents who arrived at his house without notice, his wife told FOX News. Lefkowitz was asked if he knew that Plame worked for the CIA before her name appeared in a July 14, 2003, column by Robert Novak.
Lefkowitz's wife told FOX News that she and her husband believed Plame was "some kind of consultant," and did not know she worked for the CIA.

Th news is There is no news?..........This is news?............
FoX NeWs ticker on FNC
Grand jury appears to have broken for lunch or possibly for the day..
I think this is over.
...or possibly forever.
Looks to me like they're vegetarian.
It's the jury, not the prosecutor, that indicts? Right?
Although the routine is that the jury does whatever the prosecutor asks, that might not happen in this case.
cold water-orgasm ending-buzz kill for the left wing(nut) media, eh?
Just curious.
If Tenet told Cheney and Cheney told Libby, Why aren't they going after Tenet?
I hope you're right...this is over.
I would like to be as optimistic. I do find it interesting, however, that there are reports of last-minute interviewing of Plame's neighbors. I heard her old CIA boss interviewed some time ago and he said her CIA association was well known by some of her neighbors and that in turn was known by the CIA. He thought this was a political witch hunt and nothing more.
Because it is not illegal for the CIA boss to give classified info to the Veep, who is cleared to receive it?
This makes absolutely no sense. You've been conducting an investigation for this long and you just now are trying to find out if people knew she was an agent. Something is really screwy about this.
Is it possible that the visits with the neighbors were staged to distract from some official letter being handed to Val or Joe Wilson at their home?
Aaaw dang it. Don't pop the fantasies in the idiot press yet. I want to see all the subpoenas that would get issued to the lying lefties and watch them squirm.
They all have clearance. They would have to have had proveable malevolent intent to indict them on the discussions you mention. It's their discussing it outside of this group, which I do not think has been proven, that would cause the problem. To all appearances, that is now a moot question anyway. The indictments would be regarding Libby's and Rove's testimony to the GJ. Did they forget to tell about every conversation they've had in years that may have had something to do with Plame? It's down to being a witch hunt.
It's not illegal to tell someone who has clearance. So Tenet could tell Cheney and Cheney could tell Libby, but Libby can't tell Miller (assuming Plame really was undercover).
My guess is it is a push back on someone raising the "She wasn't covert - all her friends and neighbors knew" defense when negotiating with Fitz.
Cheney is cleared to receive that kind of information and Tenet is under no restriction to provide it to him. I suspect that Libby also had a need to know clearance if it was germane to his job. It was. Wilson was making allegations that the VP's office sent him to Niger. Why are they going after any of them? We all know why.
Oh, the VP is cleared and can make ANY classified info public without legal consequence.
If Tenet told Cheney and Cheney told Libby, Why aren't they going after Tenet?
1) Because a CIA chief is SUPPOSED to tell the VP and/or the POTUS what he knows and has discovered.
2) Because Libby is the VP's chief of staff and he is supposed to know classified information.
But the buck should stop at Libby or Cheney.
When classified info is given to either of them, it behooves them to KEEP THEM CLASSIFIED, NOT LEAK THEM TO ANYONE.
It would be Tenet's fault if he shared classified info with others OTHER THAN Cheney or Libby or The President or anyone within the President's inner circle.
We are getting very close to the point where it has to be now, and it has to be public.
That's sure an interesting thought. You could be right!
The real question is why do they want to know if the neighbors knew? There are only two possible reasons that I can think of: 1) They think she really was undercover during the relevant time period, or 2) They think that Wilson and/or Plame lied to the grand jury about whether she was undercover.
Here's another theory. Someone who isn't being talked about much, of a lower-level than Libby / Rove, got ratted out by a reporter on providing info on Emma Peel. That person, in Fitzgerald's sites, starts singing like a bird that it was covered up by Libby / Rove et al - or worse, that he was ordered to do it. And all the rest has been trying to pin it on higher-ups - classic scandal style.
This theory does depend, necessarily, on her having covert status at some point after July 1998. And, as I've said repeatedly, none of us know whether she did or not.
Maybe they are investigating Plame and Wilson to see if they were abiding by the Agency's cover rules. OTOH, they may be trying to determine how widespread the knowledege of her employment was and whether her "outing" was all that significant to justify indicting anyone.
That is my guess as well because it is the only thing that makes sense to me at this point.
On the other hand, Andrea Mitchell says on the air a few months ago that it was common knowledge in DC "circles" that she did work at the CIA. I thought the law stated the CIA had to be taking measures to keep her covert status secret in order for this law to apply. Just because your neighbor doesn't have full knowledge of what you do, doesn't mean the CIA was taking measures to keep it under wraps.
Try reading it again. I said cleared to receive it. Not to disseminate it to those without a security clearance.
CBS News chief White House correspondent John Roberts reports the prosecutor has informed targets of the investigation of his intentions and that can only mean indictments.
src: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/10/26/politics/main981236.shtml
There was an interesting dust up last night with ABC news and I think it would be fitting if Fitz' only indictment was against someone in his own office for leaking.
I'm beginning to think Fitzgerald is having fun stroking the press.
There seem to be conflicting reports as to whether or not the neighbors knew she was CIA......still it seems rather strange that the FBI would be doing these last minute surprise interviews.
The Day That Changed Everything XXII has been postponed.
I thought that it was well established that she was no longer undercover, and that there was no crime in revealing her identity because of that fact.
Intelesting. Vely intelesting.
If there is no annoucements of resignations, then Rove and Libby are in the clear, let's hope, knock on wood, throw the salt, and pray!
"When classified info is given to either of them, it behooves them to KEEP THEM CLASSIFIED, NOT LEAK THEM TO ANYONE. "
Right, so now that it has been established that Plame was not an undercover operative at CIA it is sort of a moot point.
Yeah. The only way I can think that Cheney's conversation with Libby might be criminal is if he told Libby to leak the info to the media.
That article quotes the idiot David Gergen, who once again spins things in the worst possible way for Bush. And he is supposedly a conservative?
I think the idea is that Tenet and Cheney have Top Secret clearance, Libby and Rove do not? I am not sure.
From the USA Article Link in the original post:
"Joe and Valerie Wilson are my next door neighbors in a hilly neighborhood just west of Georgetown. We moved in within months of each other seven years ago, attracted to our respective houses by the view of the Capitol in the distance and the Washington Monument in the foreground. The patriotic view is stirring.
I have another view from my window, of a neighbor who is a working, devoted mother of 5-year-old twins, a volunteer for charities, a woman active in her church, and a caring person. Soft-spoken, self-effacing and very private, Valerie is very easy to label "the lovely woman next door."
To some, I am known as Joe and Valerie's lawyer, a fact that has surfaced by my occasional statements on their behalf.
LAUGH OF THE DAY::: The Wilsons don't need a lawyer for any pending proceeding; I am simply helping them understand some of the technicalities of the criminal investigation and collecting facts for any eventual civil suit. Before Robert Novak's column, I was simply their friend and neighbor, a role that will continue long after the White House leak matter is over."
As to Plame's status:
A former CIA covert agent who supervised Mrs. Plame early in her career yesterday took issue with her identification as an "undercover agent," saying that she worked for more than five years at the agency's headquarters in Langley and that most of her neighbors and friends knew that she was a CIA employee.
I vote for pray.
I thought that the prosecutor must inform them that they are targets of the investigation first. Hence, his intentions are clear. If he has already sent out the target letters, did Rove or Libby receive one. It sure doesn't sound that way based on the WH's response to ABC's "bluffing."
The MSM continues to speculate without any knowledge or facts.

New approaches to tenant scrutiny
Published by Anonymous for Chartered Institute of Housing in Housing and also in Local Government
21 October, Liverpool
Social landlords have been involving and consulting with their tenants for years; but increasingly many are going further and giving tenants the power to challenge them with the aim of improving business performance and the quality of services provided. This event will examine why and how organisations have developed their relationship with tenants for improved scrutiny.
The Homes and Communities Agency has placed greater emphasis on housing providers delivering accountable value for money. Speakers will share how they have developed an approach to scrutiny to secure value for money within their organisation.
With challenges such as welfare reform and diversification presenting greater risks to housing providers delegates will hear how the scrutiny role can identify and mitigate the risks to both businesses and customers.
Performance of organisations is no longer assessed purely on financial returns, social and environmental impact is also taken into consideration. Tenant scrutiny is an effective tool for structuring and developing skills, creating capacity for local leadership and improving life opportunities for individual tenants. Hear how tenant scrutiny can facilitate decision making capabilities at local level, extending beyond localism and offering social investment.
Expert advice will be provided on the most common challenges faced in implementing and improving scrutiny procedures. Delegates will have the opportunity to put forward any questions and hear how to resolve issues that they may be facing in a troubleshooting session.

(Lezignan, France)
Hi, I'm a 31 year old professional rugby player with a long history of adductor tendonitis and tears.
I have struggled with this since my late teens. I have had an adductor release on my left side and a hernia repair performed on both. Even after the operations I have struggled with pain and small tears of both tendons.
I have tried everything I can think of including tens machines, supplements and I have access to a fulltime physiotherapist.
About 10 weeks ago my right adductor tightened up and I couldn't get it to relax. After 3 more games it tore. The tear at that stage was 7.5 x 3 mm. I have had physio and been doing strengthening excercises for the last 6 weeks but when I had another scan today the tear was 10 x 2.4 mm.
I know I have a lot of scar tissue in that region but is there anything at all you would recommend to fix this problem and allow me to return to playing.
The last time this happened was in 04 on my left groin and I kept reinjuring it as soon as I played until I had the surgery. Time is a problem as we are currently in the middle of our season.
I have about another 6 weeks before a major game.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony.
You didn't leave your email address so I hope you keep an eye on the RSS feed/site updates.
(If you do find this, make sure to leave your email address when you comment)
You said "Even after the operations I have struggled with pain and small tears of both tendons."
What you meant was "ESPECIALLY after the operations I have struggled with pain and small tears of both tendons."
The body does NOT like pain or injury, and surgery causes both, even if it's 'fixing' a problem like herniation and tear.
So, you have some sort of chronic adductor tightness issue where your adductors just won't let up.
And rip and tear injuries and surgeries, that are making that tightness even worse, more chronic, and in fact acute.
It's not Tendonitis per se, though you have all the elements of that, and more!
It makes me wonder what the physio is doing with you.
What -is- the physio doing with you?
Strengthening isn't going to help. The muscles are already so strong they're tearing themselves apart at the weak points.
The problem is, the musles are ON too much, too often. They need to take a break.
The problem is, the nervous system thinks your tightness is A. helping protect you from more injury and B. is a NORMAL tone now.
The problem is, that tightness is NOT helping protect you from more injury.
So, if you see this, answer the following questions and let's get started helping you heal and play without more injury.
1. What is the physio doing with you?
2. What have you done in the past that has helped or hasn't helped.
3. What supplements?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will not open as scheduled on Labor Day as it will take contractors until at least December to repair cracks in the bridge's seismic safety bolts, the Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee announced Monday.
A new opening date for the $6.4 billion crossing will be decided after the retrofit of the failed bolts is completed, which is estimated to take until at least Dec. 10, the committee said in a report. The report said a new date will be based upon "actual completion of the east pier retrofit work, weather windows, traffic impacts and other information."
The report lists "hydrogen embrittlement" as the root cause of why 32 seismic safety bolts cracked after being tightened in March. The problem is considered a short-term phenomenon that occurs in metals when certain conditions apply. In the case of the rods on the Bay Bridge, the report said the "metallurgical condition of the steel was found to be less than ideal."
State lawmakers were also being briefed on the investigation at a meeting with the committee in Sacramento.
The bridge is replacing the span damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and the new project is already years late and billions over budget.
The opening has been in doubt as crews work to install the repair for the cracked seismic safety bolts — important pieces that hold a shock-absorber-like piece called a "shear key" to the bridge deck so that the structure can move safely during a quake.
Bridge officials say the bridge will not open unless it is deemed safe to do so.
However, officials also say moving traffic onto the new span is important to public safety, as the existing crossing is not considered earthquake safe.

The way I have it designed is that it grabs the attached images that are uploaded and arrays them, however, if someone wants to embed video they have to expand the text-information area because there is no way to 'attach' a video and the only option to embed is to use the intended area for text only. Take this page of the theme demo for example - http://w-portfolio.com/demo4/design/post-22/ if someone was to embed a video they would have to paste the code into the post editor and it would break the layout, because it would extend into the space that it automatically arranges images in (such as the XPNSN one). I'd like to be able to show embedded or uploaded videos in the same area that I am outputting the images.
I use this function code in Functions.php:
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]
Then I display the images in the Single.php file using this:
<div id="imgcontent">
<?php my_attachment_gallery(0, 'large', 'alt="' . $post->post_title . '"'); ?>
[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]
How can I have it show any embedded or attached video where the image attachments are in the loop?
Thanks for your time...any help you can provide would really help me out alot.

Guitarist Bob Casale of Devo, best known for its 1980 hit Whip It, has died of heart failure at the age of 61, his brother and band member Gerald Casale said Tuesday.
Devo founding member Casale said in a statement that his younger brother's death on Monday was "sudden" and "a total shock."
"As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning," he said. "He was my level-headed brother, a solid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got."
No further details on Bob Casale's death were provided.
The Ohio-based Devo introduced themselves to the world in 1977 by making a frenetic version of the Rolling Stones' Satisfaction. The new wave band released its Brian Eno-produced debut, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, in 1978 and reached platinum status with 1980's Freedom of Choice, which featured Whip It.
Gerald Casale formed Devo with lead singer Mark Mothersbaugh. Alan Myers, the group's drummer, died last year after a battle with cancer age at 58.

SB28 + slaveflash
maybe stupid question... how to setup the SB28 with a slaveflash? I cant use 3d metering with the flash (or can I?) so should I put in TTL mode and then use it as normal.. will this produce good exposure? I thought that I put a question here before I proceed with try & error method
Best regards

LAST EDITED ON Jun-28-01 AT 01:36 AM (GMT)
If I am understanding correctly, if you want to use ther SB-28 as a slave, triggered by a built-in unit, you could use 3D metering and TTL if with a SU-4.
If not, then check the ISO speed (it is set automatically to 100, adjust accordingly if needed).
Now, if you want to use the SB-28 mounted on your camera and another flash as a slave, then you have to decide which one you want to be your dominant light source, then adjust the settings on the slave flash accordingly.
Sorry I have to run elsewhere right now; if insufficiently clear ... I'll be back

I am trying to use my F100 with 2 SB-26 flash units. The slave is mounted on a SU-4. The slave flash is firing however, I can't get the light right to properly illuminate the subjects hair from the top. Any suggestions?
#3. "RE: 1 camera mounted SB26 + 1 SB-26 slaveflash" | In response to Reply # 2Johnny Basic MemberWed 01-Aug-01 10:23 AM
Check the angle of your hairlight (slave flash). Make sure it is at an angle so that your camera will pick it up. Also make sure both your SU-4 and your slave SB-26 are not in slave mode at the same time. I'm sure that could foul things up.

The Great Books group selects a collection of literature to discuss each year. In 2016, we take our reading selections from Immigrant Voices.
We meet at the library from 2-4:30 PM on select Sundays each month September through May. See below for previous readings, and check out our events calendar for upcoming discussions!
Does it strike you as unusual that a woman who recently immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic would keep unique habits from her former home country? "Even here in the States she drapes mosquito netting over her bed," writes the author who knows firsthand about the experience.
This quote is from a selection out of the current volume chosen by the Great Books group. Perhaps this is the ideal time to try to understand the reactions, hopes, fears, observations, of actual authors from fourteen different countries who have gone through the experience of immigrating to the United States in the 21st century. Selections are from writers from India, Bosnia, Iran, Russia, China and altogether from 14 different countries. These experiences could help us better understand the current uproar about refugees and immigrants and what the United States might mean to diverse groups and individuals.

text: Description~The first film in classic, four-part legacy of terror stars Gregory Peck as an ambassador who is talked into switching his wife's (Lee Remick) stillborn baby with an orphaned infant. When young Damien is Five, the horror begins with his nanny's dramatic suicide. As the death toll escalates, Damien's father, realizing his son is the antichrist, decides that he must kill the boy and rid the world of the evil.|Amazon.com~After The Exorcist sparked a lengthy trend of supernatural thrillers, this 1976 horror film scored a hit with critics and audiences for mixing gothic horror and mystery into its plot about a young boy suspected of being the personification of the anti-Christ. (No doubt it's a favorite of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson.) Directed by Richard Donner (best known for his Superman and Lethal Weapon films), The Omen gained a lot of credibility from the casting of Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as a distinguished American couple living in England, whose young son Damien bears "the mark of the beast." Mysterious deaths and unexplained incidents draw the attention of a photographer (David Warner), whose investigation leads to the young boy--and also to the photographer's shocking decapitation (in a scene that has since been inducted into the horror hall of fame). At a time when graphic gore had yet to dominate the horror genre, this film used its violence discreetly and to great effect, and the mood of dread and potential death is masterfully maintained. It's all a bit hokey, with a lot of biblical portent and sensational fury, but few would deny it's highly entertaining. Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-winning score works wonders to enhance the movie's creepy atmosphere. --Jeff Shannon|

Note: It is very important that you do not use paper liners. Full fat baked goods tend to have so much fat in them, that the paper ones are fine, but lower-fat treats stick to the paper. Note that the most common brands of foil wrappers often come with a paper-liner between each foil liner, so be sure to remove the paper liners.

Definition of propositional attitude in English:
propositional attitude
The relation that a person has with a proposition, such as having an opinion concerning it or responding emotionally to it.
Example sentences
- I arrive at the conclusion that it is a symptom of a more general phenomenon whereby contextual parameters can be relativized to bearers of propositional attitudes.
- He has objected that the view of emotions as propositional attitudes has the effect of excluding animals and infants lacking language.
- And, indeed, any general argument for narrow content will presumably apply to sensory representation as well as to propositional attitudes.

The Designer
As a Dallas native now living and working in New York City I developed a passion for the arts quickly growing up — from theater to fashion. Particularly gravitating towards haute couture — it captured not only fashion but art as well, some pieces are art and that was fascinating to me. I graduated from design school and started my career in the apparel industry quickly.
In 2010 with a design and some business experience under my belt, I decided that is was time to take a leap of faith and officially start S.I.C. Couture. I had already been designing custom dresses for family, friends, and myself so I felt that my first collection should be all about the ultimate cocktail dress. In late 2011 I introduced my inaugural collection and continued with only designing dresses until spring 2013 when I introduced separates.
By early 2013 I completed my 5th collection — fall 2013. It was with this collection I felt that I sort of found who and what S.I.C. Couture WAS and IS meant to be: adventurous, free spirit, and fearless. Each collection grows more each season with so much character and honesty to what the brand really is about.
I believe that we are influenced or inspired rather by people daily, whether it's the way they dress or the way they carry themselves, hence where "contagious" becomes involved. I am inspired by my family, my friends, and amazing mentors that I interact with daily and they've each taught me something valuable in my life. I can't wait to continue to grow not only as a person but to grow S.I.C. Couture even further. So far, it's been a heck of a ride. And I feel like I've just truly begun this wonderful journey and can't wait to see what the future holds. So thank you for supporting the brand and myself. I truly appreciate it and thankful every single day.

Camaioni Named First-Team All-Conference
Nov. 21, 2009
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Loyola University Maryland junior outside hitter Nina Camaioni was named to the All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference First Team today by a vote of the league's coaches following a record-breaking season.
Camaioni became the first player in Loyola history to top the 500-kill mark in a single-season. She finished the year with 539 kills, an average of 4.49 per set. Camaioni, who was the MAAC Rookie of the Year and earned All-MAAC Second Team laurels in 2007, hit .239 and was also a solid defensive player for the Greyhounds.
In addition to leading the team in kills, Camaioni was second on the team with 343 digs, 2.86 per set.
Camaioni, who topped the 1,000-kill mark for her career earlier in the season, is 13th in NCAA Division I in kills per set and 24th in points per set (4.85) through November 15.
She helped the Greyhounds improve from 8-25 in 2008 to 15-18 and a fifth-place finish in the MAAC in 2009, a seven-game improvement.
Joining Camaioni on the All-MAAC First Team were the MAAC Player of the Year, Bugrandy McCurty of Siena, Fairfield's Katie Mann, Niagara's Hannah Hedrick and Michelle James, and Siena's Aubrey Bobo.
Camaioni, junior libero Brittany Born and senior middle blocker Karlee Woodward were also named to the MAAC All-Academic Team.

|Classification and external resources
Hypercementosis is an idiopathic, non-neoplastic condition characterized by the excessive buildup of normal cementum (calcified tissue) on the roots of one or more teeth.[1] A thicker layer of cementum can give the tooth an enlarged appearance, which mainly occurs at the apex or apices of the tooth.
Can be caused by many things. A way to remember the causes is "PIG ON TAP"[2]
Local factors-
- Occlusal Trauma
- Trauma
- Non-functional tooth
- Unopposed tooth (and impacted teeth, embedded teeth, teeth without antagonists)
Systematic factors-
- Idiopathic
- Pituitary Gigantism
- Paget's Disease
- Acromegaly
- Periapical granuloma
- Arthritis
- Calcinosis
- Rheumatic fever
It may be one of the complications of Paget's disease of bone in the form of generalized hypercementosis.
It may also be a compensatory mechanism in response to attrition to increase occlusal tooth height.
It is experienced as an uncomfortable sensation in the tooth, followed by an aching pain.[3]
It may be noted on radiographs as a radiopaque (or lighter) mass at each root apex.
Such deposits form bulbous enlargements on the roots and may interfere with extractions, especially if adjacent teeth become fused (concrescence). It may also result in pulpal necrosis by blocking blood supply via the apical foramen.[4]

Midweek Mysticism: Do you have to be spiritual to be a mystic?
This is a perennial question, so let's see if it can be answered without writing a thesis or sending everyone to sleep.
Many people would reply to the title of this piece with a "Yes!", but the plain answer is "No, of course not."
The one caveat is that if someone is so self-absorbed that they are incapable of seeing anyone else's point of view, however reasonable, they will simply not recognise the mystic portal if it leapt up and thumped them in the face.
However, a spiritually-inclined attitude can be an introductory form of mysticism. It always carries a sympathy for another's view of the world, provided it's not violently anti-social. It is that depth and width of vision that opens up the pathway to mystical experience, not an emotional spirituality.
One doesn't even have to be religious in a conventional way — which is just another form of divisiveness. The mystic way is to see the world as a whole by going beyond it.
Again, that doesn't mean having no ideas of your own, or assuming that everything is "good" in itself. One remains human and very capable of using early experiences as a means of distinguishing between ideologies and their effectiveness.
Ultimately, the mystic has a tendency to leave the "things of this world" to the people of this world, and to concentrate on what lies beyond.
Mystics are hard-headed observers of how things work, and crisp assessors of situations and philosophies. They deal with the real world, not the outer shell. They might even be thought of as spiritual "scientists."
Okay, I hear you say, but if it's all a state of mind, how do I get from this one to the other state of mind?
Actually, it's about leaving states of mind behind and entering the much wider viewpoint of consciousness. That brings you much closer to the soul and keeps you poised to plunge into what I call Impersonal Consciousness — the realm of God, or the Absolute.
If that seems to you "a bit over the top", what do you imagine mystical experience is if not entering a place where human consciousness gives way to God Consciousness? And why bother?
In the end, it is not swapping religious viewpoints, or being converted to something else, it is the ultimate leap — not of faith, although that may help in some circumstances — but giving up all of what you think you are so that you can see what's left!
Many folk believe they are too Earth-based to make such a journey. A mystic would tell them that even this planet is part of the heavenly realm when seen through the eyes of mysticism.
It's not about changing yourself, nor life or reality, but losing your resistance to them that gives you the whole universe.

It is very important to know the kind of people living around you for self protection and that of the family. No one would want to be living near a sex offender. A lot of people end up being victims of crimes just because of assumption and lack of bothering themselves to carry out a sex offenders search. A free sex offenders search can promote peace of mind for you and you concerned ones; hence it is always to be safe than being sorry.
This article is very important for everyone to read since it promotes education to all and helps us understand that we are all different.
Sex crime is a very serious crime. It is important to visit your district offices and have all individuals who have been part and parcel of these crime. You get the access to the information after paying a small fee. The only problem is that they may keep you waiting for a period of time like a week to several weeks before getting the information. This can be one of the ways and another way is that you may opt to the websites offering a free offenders search. This way you can get the search results in a very short period of time.
It is also advisable to be very careful to check on whether there is any hidden charges by any site which offers a free offenders search which might convince you to pay more on the premium services. A legal action is taken on anyone who gives false information bout someone connecting them with sex offense issues.
It is also advisable to avoid the sites promising a free offenders search and utilize those sites that charge a small fee and are more likely to be reliable and genuine.
Use government resources in carrying out a sex offenders search.

Complaints against: AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, (AAA) / SCHNEIDER NATIONAL CARRIERS, Inc. / CENTRAL REFRIGERATED SERVICES, Inc. / SWIFT Transportation
Complaints against AAA Arbitration (Dallas, TX)
Submitted: Sun, July 22, 2007)
When I contacted AAA
for an explanation I was denied by the Arbitrator When I contacted AAA about the Violation of Rule, Oath, ethic, the injustice
and to investigate or do something. AAA President Mr. Strathmann Stated ". I understand but AAA does not have authority
to take action" The rule are just guidelines as much as the deceptive paid supply list. I consider both Shane Johnson
and AAA in violation of the Deceptive Business practices Act I want to file suit against AAA for deceptive
business practices
Arbitration clauses should be illegal and banned
AUTHOR: Jodi - (U.S.A.) SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 27, 2013
The fact that the government has ruled that arbitration clauses are unfair and banned in certain instances. These all go to show that arbitration clauses are a scam perpetuated on the American Consumer. It is also helpful to educate yourself before spouting off and repeating the lies the corporations and arbitrations companies have spouted. Read the book Boilerplate: The Fine Prin, Vanishing Rights. Educate yourself in order to at least try to protect yourself.

ATTORNEYS CIVIL, HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS against Walter Ellis, see:
TITLE 1 8 USC 241 & 242 / Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immmunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S. This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race. (3). Federal and state laws also define attorney misconduct and empower judges to discipline wayward attorneys. Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (28 U.S.C.A.), for example, requires sanctions for lawyers and clients who file frivolous or abusive claims in court. In a 1989 case, Nasco, Inc. v.

La.), a federal district judge suspended two lawyers and disbarred another for "illegal and fraudulent schemes and conspiracies" designed to slow a case in co-damages , see links below

It's worth knowing more about Dickens' own life when reading a Dickens novel, since he often drew heavily from his experiences for his writing. Plus, he had a really interesting life, full of drama and scandal.
- Macbeth and Lady Macbeth
An ambitious, no-holds-barred wife supports and even bullies her husband to commit violent acts that he might not be comfortable with. Sound familiar? Madame Defarge and Lady Macbeth have a lot in common, as do their husbands. In fact, it may not be a bad idea to wonder whether Dickens got some of his ideas for the Defarges from Shakespeare's famous couple of crime.

'Melo thinks LeBron might stay
LOS ANGELES – At least one person thinks LeBron James(notes) doesn't already have a ticket out of Cleveland: his friend and Team USA teammate Carmelo Anthony(notes).
"I think he's going to stay," Anthony told Yahoo! Sports at halftime of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Anthony said his opinion is more of a gut feel than based on anything definitive from James. But he also just saw James recently, and said, "We've been talking a lot more the last couple of weeks."
One source said James also had considered attending Sunday's game, but was worried about the circus it would cause.
Anthony, who now lives in Los Angeles in the offseason and attended Game 2 of the Finals, has his own decision to make this summer. He can push for a contract extension from the Denver Nuggets or wait to become a free agent after next season.
"I'm going to see what's going on," said Anthony, who also hasn't made a decision on whether to play in this summer's World Championships. "I haven't talked to nobody since the last game. We'll see what is going on the next couple of months.
"Me and my team, we're looking at a lot of different situations. That's the main thing that we are thinking about right now. We got some stuff that we're talking about."
Anthony does expect Nuggets coach George Karl to return, even though the two haven't spoken since the end of the season. Karl took a leave from the team and missed the playoffs after being treated for throat cancer.
"I'm pretty sure he'll be back," Anthony said. "That's just him. All he wants to do is get healthy, get back there on the court. Even when he was sick, he was still trying to be in the gym. They're going to have to tell him he can't coach. He's not going to tell them he's going to sit."

We really enjoyed our small group tour. Our group was only the 4 of us so we had our own private guide who was excellent. The pace of the trip was good, the instruction from our guide was interesting and easy to understand, the food was good, and the overall experience of our day was excellent.
As the mom in our family, it and #39;s not often that I have the luxury of leaving trip details to someone else! We were picked up by our courteous driver who relayed important information about our destination in perfect English and delivered us safely to our doorstep at the end of our tour A real treat!
This tour was amazing!
Awesome tour and our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. We would recommend thus tour to anyone
Our tour guide, Jean, did an outstanding job of pointing out important sights and not being as verbose as most tour guides can be. Nice man with years of experience. Highly recommend.
Our guide -- Fred --- was great. This tour would be good with anyone but he made it great. Recommended.
Amazing. Our guide, Fred, was awesome.
Beautiful day with some rain.
We have visited Paris previously, but this time travelling with our granddaughter a keen art enthusiast so this day trip was perfect! Very well organised day, excellent guide, lovely lunch.
Totally relaxing and wonderful way to spend a day. Timing was great, the guide was fantastic, and the nature was wonderful after three weeks in NYC and Paris. So nice to relax and not have to make any decisions!
We had a wonderful trip to Giverny with our guide Fred on Saturday, September 26- he was personable, funny and very knowledgeable - their were eight of us on the trip and it was a very congenial group - Fortunately it was a day of beautiful weather - but the gardens would be beautiful at any time - I was traveling with a friend who spoke french and she enjoyed talking with our guide Fred - it really was a great day and I would highly recommend as a day trip from Paris!!!
Monet's garden was absolutely beautiful, a riot of colour with masses of flowers and greenery! We had a great day with Ricardo entertaining us along the way. The lunch at the mill was very high quality and very pleasant company. Lastly, we had a sunny afternoon in Auvers Sur Oise where we felt immersed in the world of Vincent Van Gogh. My favourite day of my whole holiday!
Our trip was perfect. Fred was a wonderful tour guide. Thank you Fred! We would do it again in a New York minute.
An amazing experience even on a rainy day. Our guide, David, was informative and a joy to be with. I highly recommend this tour.
Outstanding! Herbert , our driver/guide was fantastic. The lunch out in the garden at the Moulin was so special.
Many thanks. SO very glad I booked this trip! 5 star
Driver was excellent. His name was Fred. The trip was great
Wonderful tour to Giverny. I have wanted to see the water lilies for a very long time, and, despite the rain, was not disappointed. I walked along the path, absolutely enthralled, and did not want to leave. Monet's house was also amazing. We had lunch at a lovely inn and then drove to Auvers sur Oise to learn about the last days of Vincent Van Gogh. Our guide was excellent and made both of these places come alive. What a wonderful day!
Meredith Australia
Fred was a fun driver/guide and we enjoyed our visit to Monet's garden, though it was very crowded in the height of summer. We also were surprised to visit van Gogh's rooms, where he died, on the 125th anniversary of his death. Fred took us to visit his grave as well. Lunch was very nice, though a bit slow to be served, but Fred didn't rush us. We had a great day.
The tour was beyond expectations. Paul, our drive and guide, was outstanding, friendly, courteous and his knowledge of Monet and Van Gogh and the history of Giverny and Auvers sur Oise were so in-depth. I learned more than I could have expected from him. And the lunch was wonderful. Charming restaurant and excellent food. The tour could not have been better . . . the weather even cooperated!
This tour was amazing!
THE BEST!!!! Loved this excursion. Started off with th most delightful and informative guide Louis. Very knowledgeable. Small van with 8 people total. Walked through the very long line at Giverny and had a wonderful time. The house and his life are as exquisite as the garden take the time to wait. Then drove to a lovely mill were the most charming three course lunch was laid out with wine. Headed off to Auvers sur Oise after wards to a most tragic part but still beautiful. TO hear about the short tortured life of Van Gogh. Traveled to his gravesite and heard about his last days. Tour of the Inn is also lovely where he stayed and the movie was very informative. Thank you Definatley one of my faves during our trip.
This was a wonderful trip. It was a great way to get out of the city for the day into the very lovely Normandy countryside. Our guide, Manuel, was awesome. He was a great driver through the crazy Parisian traffic and was even able to book a late-day appointment with a dentist back in Paris for one of the tour members who broke a tooth during the trip. During our ride to Giverny, he gave our group of 7 a non-stop commentary in both English and Portugues about Monet, Paris of the 1800s and today and the French countryside. He even through in a few 'extras' for us--I won't spoil it unless you are lucky enough to get him as your guide. This guy has to be the hardest working tour guide in Paris!
The Monet gardens were wonderful, made even better by getting there early with our small group. Since we beat the big busses, we had a much quieter moment to tour for the first half hour or so.
The lunch at the Moulin de Fourges was wonderful. The setting was truly idyllic.
Auvers-sur-Oise is moderately interesting, but our guide set our expectations appropriately. It certainly would not be worth a trip on its own, but coupled with Giverny was worth seeing.
All in all, it was a great day and this was definitely the way to do it.
Please note that I have already rated this trip - twice!!!! Yes, it was excellent
This was a Bucket List thing for me and it was everything I thought it would be!! Our driver Louie was so kind as to pick us up right outside the door to our apartment we rented. We had two Australian women and a father and daughter from CA with us. It was a wonderful day!! Thank you Louie!!
Diana from New Jersey
This was the highlight of our Parisian vacation. David, our tour guide, picked us up on time and provided wonderful commentary on the two hour drive to Giverny. After giving the group an overview of the gardens and house, he let us tour at our own pace for two hours. Afterwards, he drove us about 15 minutes away to Le Moulin de Fourges for a delicious three-course lunch only issue was tour groups were seated upstairs in a very warm room and not outside under the canopy. After lunch we headed to Auvers sir Oise where we learned about Van Gogh. David's love of both artists was apparent in his commentaries and his insights gave me a greater appreciation of the artists. Giverny was a bucket list item for me and it didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this tour and hope you get David as your guide.

Shop, and shop locally
The holiday season is here and for most of us, it's the season when we do more spending than at any other time during the year.
So, it's a logical time to take stock of what we are going to purchase and whether the items can be bought locally. If an item can be purchased at a business in Union County, we hope you will do so.
Money spent locally not only supports local business and their employees, but also has a ripple effect as the money is spent and re-spent in the local economy.
We understand that for some items, the selection in our community is limited or even not available. We just ask that you shop our county first. If you don't find what you are looking for, venture out to Tupelo or Oxford and at least keep the money in our region.
We do discourage you from making online purchases for gifts that are going to be given locally. To do so just hurts businesses and the overall economy in our region, and often results in sales tax revenue not coming back to our community.
Buying locally, or at least regionally, is a good plan to follow throughout the year, too. Our economy in northeast Mississippi only is as good at you make it.
So, have a merry shopping season in local stores.
