Joe Biden on Charlie Rose tonite backs Israel, to the hilt, on Gaza ship attack, asking "what's the big deal here?"
Clive Crook hits Maureen Dowd column today (and others) calling for Obama to get all hot and bothered like James Carville to save presidency. Meanwhile, Tom Friedman's column backing Israel roundly mocked, such as here. Profile at Raw Story of young guy who leads the (very successful) drive to get advertisers to quit Glenn Beck.
Kudos to Rich Lowry, National Review ed., for this body slam of GOP candidate in CT, Linda McMahon, for her pro wrestling (and other) sleazy sell jobs….. Kirk, GOP candidate for Obama's seat in Illinois, exposed for telling another lie: did NOT serve in Iraqi Operation Freedom. And now, Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona, caught claiming her dad died fighting the Nazis–when he passed away ten years after war.
George W. Bush joins Facebook. Give him a poke if you wish. One visitor: "Mr. President, please don't have your farm attack mine at Farmville."
GAZA CRISIS British PM Cameron calls Israeli attack "completely unacceptable" and calls for lifting blockade….. NYT's Robert Mackey points to Bibi Netanyahu's Facebook page, which features hot video (perhaps aimed at younger set) which charges that Gaza-bound activists planned "terrorist" acts against Israelis…… Harold Meyerson in Wash Post hits blind Israel support by American Jews and notes chasm between views of younger and older population here. Democracy Now: Former Amb. Peck, who was on board ship, says Israel's explanation "as full of holes as a window screen."

Palestinian Journalist Blames Hamas for Problems In Gaza
Palestinian journalist Mudar Zahran claims the Hamas government in Gaza is corrupt, abuses its people and is to blame when Israel is forced to air-strike terrorist targets.
Mudar Zahran, a Jordanian Palestinian political activist and writer who calls for peace with Israel, has emphasized that he believes Hamas is responsible for all qassam rockets fired into Israeli territory, even when the Palestinian Islamic Jihad or another group is the one taking responsibility. While noting that there are disagreements between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas, especially in the wake of the present crisis in Syria, Zahran still believes that Hamas permits the Palestinian Islamic Jihad to wage attacks against Israel from Gazan territory for it is in their interest to do so.
"Having a confrontation between Gaza and Israel is good business for Hamas, who makes a lot of money off of the deprivation of average people in Gaza. Hamas is to blame for every thing that happens in Gaza. They don't care for the blood and humanity of their people," Zahran claims. "Hamas is creating a situation where scarcity and poverty help make people submit. This is nightmarish. The only job Gazans can have is joining Hamas."
Yet at the same time, Zahran has emphasized that due to the rise of President Morsi in Egypt and the international political situation, it is better for Hamas if the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and not them, gets the credit for initiating the violence. According to Zahran, "Hamas is not about Islam any more but business and investment. It is a true dictatorship. It is willing to sell its own Islamist values for the sake of money if the right price is offered."
He continued, "People should realize that Hamas has changed. Hamas now wants interest, whenever they can find it. They will give in for whoever they are getting money. Hamas leaders now have a lot to lose if they are killed or attacked. They have houses, German cars, millions of dollars." For this reason, Hamas gives the Palestinian Islamic Jihad the green light to operate against Israel, while refraining from taking actions on their own, so all Israeli retaliations will affect the Palestinian Islamic Jihad more than them, while the blockade works to distract the Palestinian people from Hamas' oppression and to consolidate Hamas rule over Gaza.
Zahran claimed, "I feel even sorrier today for the people in Gaza as Hamas is pulling a publicity stunt with their blood. Ultimately Gazans are paying the ultimate price for Hamas arrogance, ignorance and stupidity." He continued, "Every year, Israelis should expect a couple of occasions where Hamas attacks, which shows how little value Hamas has for its own people when Israel counter-attacks. Even if I was an Islamist or pro-Hamas, it would be very stupid to send a rocket that rarely causes damage to receive F-16's in return. They hide in the bunker and let their own people suffer."
Zahran concluded, "The world should do something to counter Hamas as it is just like al Qaeda, willing to butcher its own people. I cry for anyone hurt from my people but I take the blame on Hamas and Hamas only." Zahran believes there is no military solution to the Gazan problem. He suggests empowering moderates in Gaza to overthrow Hamas by getting an outside entity to provide Gazans with jobs and the economic means to throw off the yoke of Hamas. He believes that should this happen, Hamas could be overthrown within a few years.

Schroeder merits praise, not criticism, over audit
Let me get this straight, because I am very distressed and confused about good government and the reporting of such.
The City of Buffalo recently conducted an audit, and it was uncovered and presented that the operators of the Erie Basin Marina may have been ripping off taxpayers. Yet a recent letter writer criticized Comptroller Mark Schroeder for bringing it to light!
The News also reported that Brand-On's operations director earned "hours and hours of overtime during some of the marina's busiest days" as a city employee, and that he signed off on his own city time sheets.
This type of behavior confirms some of the worst suspicions about city government. For too long, vendors and employees have used the city as their own personal piggy bank.
Kudos to Schroeder and his office for exposing this vendor and demanding that the city be paid back what it is owed. His leadership, diligence and mind-set are exactly what our great city needs.

DETROIT — What was long circled on the schedule as a chance for validation will now be remembered as an untimely collapse.
This was the last opportunity the Coyotes had against a neighboring foe in the Western Conference standings and with the Detroit Red Wings only two points ahead, a regulation win would have firmly embedded the Coyotes in the Western Conference playoff race in the final week of the regular season.
The importance of this game wavered in the past few weeks as the Coyotes moved within two points of the eighth seed in the West and then fell as far off the pace as six points last week.
After collecting three out of a possible four points in the previous two stops on this three-game road trip, the significance peaked.
But the Coyotes didn't.
The Red Wings scored three power-play goals, and the Coyotes blanked on all four of their opportunities with the man advantage to get shut out for the ninth time this season — this one a 4-0 loss Monday at Joe Louis Arena.
That all but extinguishes their playoff hopes as the Coyotes remain in 11th with 46 points — five points shy of eighth-place Columbus with three games remaining.
"After getting to the conference finals last year and having so much success, sitting where we are this year, it's obviously a tough pill to swallow right now," goalie Mike Smith said. "But it wasn't out of a lack of try. We carried the pace for most of the game fiveonfive. It was unfortunate we weren't able to capitalize on our power plays and they did, and that's the difference in the game."
Johan Franzen scored twice and Jimmy Howard had 34 saves to help the Red Wings move within a point of the Blue Jackets. They're hoping to finish the last three games of the regular season strong enough to extend the franchise's postseason streak to 22 years.
Detroit had won only one of its previous six games, picking up a precious point in three shootout losses during the slump.
Damien Brunner scored late in the first period and Valtteri Filppula had a power-play goal late in the second to help Detroit match its season high in power-play scoring. Franzen had an empty-net goal with 1:22 left.
The Coyotes lost for the fourth time in five games. Phoenix has been in the playoffs the previous three seasons, losing to Detroit in the first round in 2011 and 2010.
The Red Wings were skating hard and checking a lot — even Pavel Datsyuk had two big hits within the first 10 minutes of the game — in their quest to avoid missing the playoffs for the first time since 1990.
Detroit scored on its first shot when Franzen redirected a puck past Smith into the game on a power play.
The Red Wings didn't let a shot get to Howard for more than six minutes. Meanwhile, they went 13-plus minutes without a shot of their own and needed Howard to make some key saves to keep the lead. He stopped Shane Doan's shot on a power play midway through the first period and got his stick and pads on Radim Vrbata's one-timer with six minutes left in the first period.
Soon after killing a penalty, the Red Wings scored another goal with an extra skater.
Brunner scored from the bottom of the right circle off Henrik Zetterberg's pass from the top of the right circle. It was his first goal since April 1, his second in 22 games and by setting up Franzen's goal, he had his first multipoint game since a two-goal, two-assist game on Feb. 24 against Vancouver.
Detroit's Daniel Cleary was called for tripping twice in the first four-plus minutes of the second period but the Coyotes failed to take advantage of either power play while being held to just two shots.
Doan had an open net midway through the second period only to have rookie defenseman Danny Dekeyser extend his stick far enough to deflect the shot over the net.
Filppula scored from a sharp angle at the bottom of the first circle at 16:09 of the second period to give Detroit a 3-0 lead. He scored for the first time in eight games and had his second goal in 17 games.
Howard faced a flurry of shots and finished with his second shutout in nine days and fourth of the season. He earned his 128th career victory, tying Tim Cheveldae for fifth in franchise history.
The Red Wings close the regular season at home against the defending champion Los Angeles Kings, Nashville and at Dallas, which is also vying for one of the final spots in the West.

This Chia Seed Pudding makes the perfect healthy breakfast! I am not just talking about a ch-ch-ch-chia pet here. Have you tried chia seeds? They are super good for you. I have only just tried them recently me myself. Chia is the Mayan word for strength. These little seeds were a big staple of the Aztec and Mayan diet. One single serving of chia seeds contains 42% of your daily need for fiber and it packs more omega 3 fatty acids than a piece of salmon. Chia seeds will absorb up to 12 times their own weight, making you feel full longer. They are great to throw in smoothies and pudding.
This dish is loosely adapted from Food Babe's Chia Seed Fruit Salad. This chia seed pudding would be great served as breakfast or dessert. It would also be great with some of my homemade granola sprinkled on top.
Chia Seed Pudding
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 4 servings
- 2 cups almond milk
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 orange cut into segments
- zest of one orange
- 1 tsp ground vanilla beans
- ¼ cup goji berries
- 2 T cacao nibs
- Throw all the ingredients in a bowl and chill in the fridge for a few hours.

Max Grumbacher colors can be intermixed with any other oil colors or oil painting mediums, and they can be varnished after 6 months. Use at least 70% Max color, and no more than 30% of regular oil colors or mediums to retain the water miscible properties of Max Oil Colors.

The flesh color is way to thick
By The Old Painter
from Chicago
Overall all colors are of good quality...I happy with them... except the flesh color it is way too thick I practically have to break the tube to the paint out...then use a bunch of oil to thin it out to be useable. I don't know why that's the only color I have a problem with.
Love this brand

Grumbacher Maxx Oils
By Betsymc
from Charleston, SC
Love the rich colors, this paint is pigment packed. Love that it is low odor. Downfall of this product is that some tubes (even of the same color) have inconsistent texture.
Love my MAX !
By Stella45
from Waterbury, CT
I use these oils with the elderly. Like that they do not have an odor, are easy to clean up with soap and water...on the canvas and on the hands! Only downside would be if you scrub too hard you can remove the previous layer on the canvas. I only thin with the recommended linseed oil.
I have used Max products for almost 20 years..
By JR
from Albuquerque, NM
I prefer the pigment mixture of the colors to the other producers…especially the Cerulean BlueI would prefer a greater array of some of the pigments…No company makes Mars Violet in the water soluble paints, for that matter….there are many colors that are only made in the regular oils. Some of the colors that I prefer to use, outside of the Mars Violet. I love the Azo yellows and oranges……another is Quinacridone Rose, & Earth green. I don't quite understand why there is not the array of colors in the Max color chart. I , personally , don't understand why, my fellow artists reply to me: I use the REAL oils, which, to me, is total ignorance of the product. When I paint, my whole house does not smell of chemicals, which, of course, is a health factor..Thank you.

Perfectly "Oil like"
By T2artist
from Madison Wisconsin
I have been painting in oils for 20 years now but the last 10 or so have been with water soluble oil paints! I like the clean up, and I have concerns about the smell of turpentine and other solvents...I have used a number of different brands but I must say I found some of them to be lacking. These are not! They are just like trad.oil paints without the concerns I had...the flow is wonderful coverage is the same as traditional oils ditto dry time, and they are still glossy. These are perfect for me! Also the variety of colors is really great! Thank you for restoring my faith in water soluble "oils"!!!

NEW YORK — U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge Richard Bohanon on Wednesday approved The Warnaco Group's disclosure statement, paving the way for the company to begin soliciting votes from creditors on the firm's reorganization plan.
This story first appeared in the November 14, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Bohanon, who has been "on loan" to the Manhattan bankruptcy court, gave his OK during a video conference hearing from his home base in Oklahoma City, while attorneys in the case spoke from a courtroom in Manhattan.
Warnaco's bankruptcy counsel disclosed during the hearing the receipt of an informal letter the firm received by Warnaco from the Department of Justice. The letter, the counsel pointed out, was not a "formal" one and basically asked for clarification of certain items in the reorganization plan. The department's involvement, the counsel said, arose from customs issues surrounding Warnaco's importation of goods.
Warnaco will seek $275 million in exit financing, down from the originally planned amount of $325 million. Also, Warnaco amended its disclosure statement to report a bonus that was paid to current chairman and director Stuart Buchalter. The bonus — $210,000 in cash and $140,000 worth of stock in a reorganized Warnaco — was in recognition of both his contribution to the firm's reorganization and his agreement to continue serving on the board.
Warnaco will begin soliciting votes for its reorganization plan on Nov. 25. A hearing to confirm the plan is set for Jan. 16.

Police probe Windsor robberyJune 21,2013WINDSOR Investigators are looking into several leads and are seeking help from the public as they probe a gunpoint robbery of the Rite Aid pharmacy on Main Street in Windsor.
A white male entered the store at 7:40 p.m. Wednesday and threatened staff with a dark colored handgun before taking an undetermined amount of prescription drugs and running out the back door into a back alley behind the store, police said.
The robber, who stood between about 6 feet tall, was wearing a red shirt and a black mask.
A Vermont State Police canine tracked the suspects scent beginning in the alley and continued for several hundred yards up State Street before the trail was lost, according to police
Windsor Police would like anyone who might have information on the robbery to call them at 674-9042.
Although robberies around the region have become much more frequent in recent months, the robbery of the same pharmacy back in August by a lone gunman was, at the time, the first such incident in the Windsor area in quite a while, according to police.
Officers said Thursday that while their investigation was making some progress it was too early to tell if the pair of robberies, which occurred 10 months apart, could have involved the same person.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

Our latest launch with famed fashion illustrator is here just in time for Fashion Week!
Discover the David Downton for Eyeko collection, a limited edition coffret featuring three new and exclusive must-haves for eyes.
"I jumped at the chance to work with Eyeko, we share the same icons (eyekons) Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Jane Birkin. Women who are part of our dreamscape".
As artist-in-residence at famed London hotel Claridges it was only fitting that as well as being where we first met David and hashed out a collaborative plan over champagne that we would also unveil the finished collection.
Renowned make-Up artist, Kay...
Backstage at London Fashion Week A/W16, we caught up with internationally acclaimed makeup artist Neil Young who created the eye brightening look at Natasha Zinko using Eyeko. Neil's artistry occupies a space in the upper echelons of makeup talent - working backstage with brands like Altuzarra, Balmain, Tom Ford, and an A-list clientele including Tilda Swinton, Kate Hudson and Rita Ora amongst others.
Get The Eye Brightening Look
1. After curling lashes with Eyeko Black Magic Lash Curler apply several coats of Eyeko Black Magic Mascara to top lashes only. Allow for some clumping to organically happen.
2. Using Eyeko Black Magic...
We're loving Alexa Chung ribbing top mua Lisa Eldridge in this fab video tutorial called "A Classic Case of Winter Face"!
"She makes some of our favorite mascara on the planet (even the packaging is fab!), has fashion-icon Alexa Chung star in her ad campaigns, and jet-sets around the globe like a true professional, so naturally we needed to know every little detail about the travel-habits of the gorgeous Nina Leykind, founder of cosmetics brand Eyeko (and all-around 'cool girl'). Our verdict: better than we could have imagined.
City you call home?
How often do you travel?
A lot! I'm on a plane every other week, for work mainly, but I always tag on a fun trip or visit whenever I travel.
How many countries have you visited?
By asking me this question...
To celebrate fashion label Frost French spear headed by Sadie Frost and Jemima French, London Fashion Week saw the launch for their latest collection via the big screen. "Will Nature Make a Man Out of Me Yet?" features a series of 'hotel monologues' from London's finest including Sadie herself alongside daughter Iris Law.
Make up for the women of all ages from 13 to 60+ was handled by acclaimed makeup artist Liz Pugh making eyes with Eyeko.
Sadie's production company Blonde To Black Pictures produced the short film, which was directed by Ben Charles Edwards, and included appearances from Annabel Davis, Edie Langley, Esme Drummond,...
To add fullness and drama:
Black Magic Mascara combined with Rock Out & Lash Out Mascara make for killer lashes.
Starting with Black Magic brush through from roots to tip allowing the helix brush to make full lash contact adding instant definition by lifting and separating lashes with just one coat. Add the rest of the colour on the wand to bottom lashes before going back into the tube to add another coat. Follow this with a third and final coat going vertical with our unique guitar-shaped wand in Rock Out & Lash Out to add a sooty flutter to upper lashes focusing on the outer lashes building in curl and allowing the unique thickening...
"This morning I went to the launch of Eyeko's new 'Sport Waterproof Liner' and 'Sport Waterproof Mascara'. The launch was held at Core Collective in Kensington – and involved fifteen of us testing the product's durability whilst working out – hard.
Core Collective is a fitness space that offers pay as you go Spinning, TRX, and High Intensity Interval Training. We tried 20 minutes of each of the three classes – all wearing our Eyeko eyeliner and mascara.

According to a decree issued in England, all enclosures made since 1488 are now to be destroyed. Enclosure was a controversial issue throughout this period, as it acted in effect as an appropriation of public land by private landowners, leaving many more peasants landless. On the other hand, however, it was sometimes the action of better-off peasantry, in an attempt to bring an end to the perpetual poverty of the subsistence method of farming.

"I felt great; I needed the job," said the Bogart mother of two small children. "When I went up to the table, and they said I could just throw away my other application, it was a relief."
Mock was one of nearly 600 people who attended the Veterans Job Fair, held at the VFW Post on Sunset Drive and sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2782, the state Labor Department's Athens Career Center, the Athens-Clarke County Veterans Council and the VFW's Ladies Auxiliary.
More than 60 companies and agencies, including restaurants, hotels, tax services, government service agencies, automotive companies, health-care facilities and law enforcement departments, sent recruiters to talk to job applicants, said Angela Williams with the Athens Career Center.
At the Primerica booth, Rebecca Flannery and Ken Grindle said the job fair is an effective way to recruit employees to the financial services company.
Primerica filled 10 entry-level jobs during an April job fair, Grindle said, and at last year's veterans' event, the company hired six applicants.
Shannon York, an area recruiter for one of two Waffle House franchises at the job fair, said she hired four people Wednesday to begin work Thursday as waitresses at some of Hillcrest Food's 23 Waffle Houses in Northeast Georgia.

Apple iPod touch (late 2011)
The iPod touch continues to be a lightweight but serious alternative to the iPhone
- Susceptible to scratches
- No Siri
- iOS 5 improvements are great
- Best screen of any portable media player
Bottom Line
We're smitten with the latest version of the iPod touch on almost every level. Additions such as Photostream and the editable playlists really enhance the player's usability while iCloud addresses some of the 'tied to iTunes' concerns we've raised in the past. If you're happy to forgo the delights of the Siri talking assistant, the touch is an irresistible buy.
Price$ 219.00 (AUD)
The iPod touch is now even slimmer, at 7.2mm, comes with iOS5 and supports iCloud — a neat way of accessing your music and Photostream from anywhere via the web. The iMessage feature now lets you send secure messages over Wi-Fi too.
Not everything that will run on the iPhone 4 and 4S (which have superior video processors) will do so on the iPod touch, but most items, including GarageBand, will. Don't expect the more graphics-intensive iMovie with its real-time video capture and splicing. Similarly, you don't get the Siri voice-recognition app on the iPod touch version of iOS5 (as you do for the iPhone 4S).
The 960x640pixel widescreen is ideal for gaming. With your Apple ID you can log in, create a gaming alias and do battle with friends. The Games Centre allows you to play online with friends and to issue friend requests based on who's in your contacts list. When a friend accepts your request , you get a triumphant 'do-do-do-doo-do-doo'.
Music is, of course, still central to the iPod touch. Album art is displayed by default. Fingertip control of the volume — Apple has sensibly stuck with a large blob on a slider for this — and playlist creation is a breeze. You can delete items from a playlist as well as editing them, making it easy to lose the filler tracks on an album, for example.
The usual white 'earbud' earphones are included in the package, but you'll want a better pair in order to enjoy the impressive audio that the touch can produce. We had to try very hard to introduce any note of distortion; it may be just 7mm thick, but the iPod touch can withstand being turned up to the max without noticeable vibrations or other aural discomfort.
There's a new Newsstand icon where subscriptions to magazines and newspapers live. Click on the Newsstand icon on your iPod and browse the list of magazine titles available. Note that while there are many titles listed as 'free', most actually initiate a paid-for rolling subscription.
Contacts, reminders and email have been subtly improved, while Notes tapped out on other iOS devices are automatically synched to your email account once iCloud is set up. FaceTime works by calling a contact from your phone menu. When they pick up, a video call is initiated and the touch's camera trains itself on you.
The touch's camera is noticeably faster than before. You can't quite take shots in burst mode, but we got suitable sharp shots of a highly detailed greyscale image that we quickly zoomed in and out of. Colour reproduction tends to saturate elements, but is well-balanced.
Photos, video and other visuals all look absolutely great on the iPod touch's screen, of course: it has the sharpest pixel pitch of any portable entertainment device. Items in the Photo menu now become part of your Photostream. Non-Mac users will still have the import images manually once the iPod touch shows up in Windows as a portable device.
Essentially, then, the iPod touch continues to be a lightweight but serious alternative to the iPhone. It weighs 102g compared with the 138g of the iPhone 3GS or the 141g of the iPhone 4 and is even more wafer-thin than the previous iPod touch player. A by-product of this, however, seems to be an increased susceptibility to scratches.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Proper Road Bike Fit
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
2020corp: all the negative comments and thumb downs.. yet one of the best fit videos I've seen thus far.. really good base to build upon.. clarifies a lot..
wish i had found this before buying my bike..
Bryn Noble: lots of bad information, saddle position (fore n aft) determined by femur length??? rubbish its where the knee comes forward relative to crank pedal reach etc. (not very good english)
RanGer498: Kiki some people dont know it all like you .
D. Batt: Stick to the Ironman's buddy.
kiki martinez: man this guy talks nonsense b4 saying anything about size,,,moron
Kiwifix: Shoulder width, seat bone width, foot peddle angle, rider shape, back flexibility, riding style (aggressive, climber, passive) Are these not also part of bike fit?
Miles Odonnol: "As you ride more, you may become more flexible. As you get older, you may become less flexible." So far so good. Please tell me how I can ride more without becoming older?
MrBababuwi: Boring!
kingkong: wow danger look at XD1:26
Borys Vulgarin F.: I think that the title of this video must be changed, because it is everything less than "Proper road bike fit"... bla bla bla
ExposingBadDrivers: Informative, but the video failed to show how to actually fit someone
Daz555Daz: All true. The problem is that local bike shops are often expensive in comparison to online and also there are often many brands of bike not available in the bike shops in your area.
Michael Mortimer: This is all accurate. You can't simply order or buy a "54" bike, adjust the seat and pedal off into the sunset, which is what most casual riders do. (These are people who buy a mid-range priced bike, spend 10 minutes with the salesman adjusting the seat and off they go. Riding two to five times, and permanently storing the bike in the garage.) For the rest of you, it is money well spent having a salesmen spending three hours with you, selecting the right bike, then fitting it to YOU.
segamisanxtes: this guy is noob.
XZIBIT256: This video sucks.
DhAoUaDiAMINE231: "...Apply that to the real world... " waiting
Dynikus: Uhh... what? What would you classify as a real bike?
Chuck Norris: The first thing to do, is to get risd of the road bike, stop being a prick and get a real bike.
MuppetAlex1: A lot of reference to numbers but not much else. Sitting a bloke on a bike and saying, this frame is too big, this is too small because and then showing it would have been better. As would adjusting saddle height and fore aft position. What are you after with your arms and body position in order to get a good riding position and what does stem have to do with this.
Andrew L: talked too much,....

ALBUQUERQUE — James Woolbert had just gotten out of jail and had been drinking with his girlfriend, family members said, when they decided to load their two young children into a vehicle without working brakes and head home.
They never made it. Their Isuzu rolled twice, ejecting the unstrapped children and killing them and their mother.
A Las Vegas man has been charged with several felonies after he allegedly broke into a home on the 300 block of Cumbres Patio.
Andreques "Rico" Gallegos, 19, of the 300 block of South Commerce Street, threatened to kill himself when police confronted him last Sunday, according to a probable cause statement filed by Las Vegas police Nov. 21 in San Miguel Magistrate Court. Police, however, were able to extract him from a window at the mobile home where he was staying.
In 1911
Monday, Nov. 27 — Great crowds were in attendance at the burial of Mike Buko /Saturday afternoon at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Main Street at which time Dr. Randolph of the Randolph Hypnotic troupe placed the young man under the influence of hypnotism and buried him alive... The box was boarded up with airshafts running to the surface of the ground at the foot and head to allow air to enter the grave... The boy will be awakened from his sleep tonight at 8 o'clock at the opera house.
Holiday Home Tour is Friday
The 10th annual Las Vegas Holiday Home Tour will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. this Friday. Tickets are $10 each and are available at CCHP, Plaza Hotel and the Las Vegas Arts Council. For more information, call 425-8803.

Albuquerque man
paralyzed after wreck
ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque man has been severely injured in a crash on Interstate 25 in the Santa Fe area.
The 25-year-old man suffered spinal injuries when several tree limbs pierced the roof of his pickup when it rolled off the highway after he fell asleep. Santa Fe County sheriff's Lt. Joseph McLaughlin tells the Albuquerque Journal that the man was left paralyzed from the arms down.
SANTA FE — New Mexico state government has shifted to an online system to sort through job applicants in an effort to save money and managers' time.
The state transferred to the new system for handling people seeking state jobs on Nov. 1. The system screens applicants for qualifications and delivers the top 15 candidates to hiring managers.
Submitted to the Optic
Six outstanding New Mexico Highlands University peer advisers presented a workshop at the New Mexico Association of Student Affairs Professional Symposium earlier this month in Albuquerque.
The peer advisers competed with public college students from throughout New Mexico for the honor to present their workshop titled, "What's Your Story?" It's one they present to fellow students on the Highlands University campus.

I live in the same town that I grew up in, Charlotte, Michigan. After 4 years in the United States Air Force (Vietnam Vet. 1969). I sold GM Vehicles for 35 years. I have 2 daughters, 1 Grandson & 1 Granddaughter. Sadly, My wife Barb (#48691017) lost her brave battle with Cancer in Feb.,2010. I retired shortly after her death. I started my Genealogy research in about 1974. Through the years too many other things were much more important than Genealogy. Now I'm back in Deep. My family and friends spend 24 hours every June at our local American Cancer Society "Relay For Life" Event since 2005. I also enjoy my back yard bird habitat. I really enjoy searching, finding,cleaning and photographing grave markers for fellow "Find A Grave" members. Please feel free to use any of my photos for your tree.

I MUST HAVE been 15 or 16. I was coming home from school and had just walked into my building on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. Maybe I was fiddling with my keys, or waiting to get buzzed in. But suddenly someone was behind me, a guy, and his hands were everywhere. But before I could move or scream, poof, he was gone. Happened that fast. Over that fast.
I don't remember if I told anyone. Past the initial shock and fear, I didn't know what to do. What was I supposed to do - run after him? Call the cops so they could put out an APB on a phantom perv? Tell someone? Forget about it?

Seas are salty but don't get any saltier
Q: Why is the sea water salty?
A: As the rains fall and water flows over the land, the water dissolves salt
out of the rocks, washes the salt into streams, then rivers, and finally carries
the salt to the sea. The salt stays in the sea because no water flows out of
the sea just as no water flows out of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. When
seawater evaporates to form clouds, almost all of the salt stays behind. The
left-behind salt slowly accumulates until, over the eons, the seas became salty-now
about three percent.
That's the simple picture, which is true but incomplete.
Seawater also picks up salt from the oceanic crust. The ocean floor has places,
called hydrothermal vents, where seawater seeps into the rocks of the oceanic
crust, gets hot, dissolves salts from the crust, flows back into the ocean with
its salt load, and increases the ocean's saltiness.
Volcanoes erupting under the sea is yet another way the sea gets salty. Seawater,
once again, dissolves salts from the molten rock.
Will the seas keep on getting salty? No. The oceans have stayed at about three
percent for hundreds of million years because they lose salt in several ways.
Pick up a clamshell and heft it in your hand: heavy. All creatures need sodium
to live and most need calcium to build skeletons and shells. The clam, like
all sea creatures, gets its sodium and calcium from seawater salt. When the
creatures die, their salt is locked up in sediment. Some of the sediment gets
pushed deep within Earth-more about that in a moment.
The reactions between seawater and rocks are not one way. Sea salt not only
dissolves from rocks, it also reacts with the sea rocks and rocks of the ocean
crust and volcanic lava. The reactions remove some of the dissolved salts from
the sea.
Plate tectonics explains the last mechanism for a balanced state of ocean
saltiness. The outer hard crust of Earth consists actually of a dozen or so
distinct, hard plates that drift individually on hot, deformable rock like floating
islands on a sea. An unequal distribution of heat within Earth moves the plates
much as marshmallows move on simmering cocoa.
When an ocean plate collides with a continental one, the less dense continental
plate floats over the ocean one. The ocean floor gets pushed under, in the process,
and at least half its mineral-rich, salty sediments end up lost deep within
So, that's why the seas are salty but don't get any saltier.

The big three for this year's session
Now that we know what a polar vortex is, it's time to move onto the next lesson: polar opposites. On that subject, this year's General Assembly will teach you all you need to learn. On the big three environmental issues up for debate, one side's going to be talking from the South Pole, the other from the North. You'll be in the middle. To help bring you in from the cold, we offer this primer:

Meter rates down to $1
Once you'd paid the meter, you might as well have gone to D.C. as to Annapolis. Both capitals charge $2 per hour for meter parking. That's 25 cents for seven and a half minutes, or 16 quarters to fill a meter. No wonder we who park in both cities carry rolls of quarters.
For Annapolis, the burden is lifted. Until March 31, rates fall to a mere $1 per hour at the city's 384 meters.
Rain threatens to bring down the house at Compass Rose
The set was built, the costumes pressed, the actors over their opening jitters. All that remained was to enjoy the show. Then came the rain.

How to Build a Google Analytics Tracking Code
Google Analytics tracking codes — also know as custom campaigns or UTM codes — are custom tracking parameters that, when added to the end of a URL, communicate granular information that tells you more about how your referral traffic is interacting with your calls to action. As mentioned, UTM tracking codes amend (are added to the end of) the URL you want to track insights for, like this:
UTM tracking codes can help you analyze traffic from banner ads, email newsletters, social media content, and any other campaign that links people to a property that you own (such as your website or your blog). Learn how to compose a Google Analytics tracking code, how to use Campaign, Source and Medium parameters and why underscores might be better than dashes.

Google Chrome Goes Dark
The new version of Google Chrome 25 (still in beta, at the time of writing) will use SSL to encrypt Google searches through the Omnibox (used to type URLs and search), even for users not logged in. Previous searches were only encrypted for logged in users. By doing this the keyword is no longer passed into analytics software like Google Analytics, you will instead see "(not provided)".
For search marketers and webmasters this means losing more keyword data. It follows from Firefox's decision to use secure search in July 2012 and Safari iOS6 in September 2012.
Since the launch of the secure search in October 2011, (not provided) has been steadily increasing. With the average generally between 20-30%, others finding it is higher at 39%. No matter the figures it is growing consistently month on month and will not be going away.

What's Your Business's One Key Metric?
Allow me to make a suggestion for all of us juggling metrics and data diving. Before you do anything else, figure out what your business's one key metric is.
Measuring what matters (and disregarding what doesn't) is Analytics 101. And it's very important because with all that we can track and measure with web analytics, there's the risk you'll:
a) drown in data
b) be struck by info overload paralysis or
c) contribute to misleading metrics, whether intentionally or not.
Using the one key metric model is going to give you results, while chasing B.S. metrics doesn't reveal meaningful insight into user behavior and preferences.

Coach Matt Brady's Dukes squad actually opens its regular season against the Bruins. The only reference point for James Madison is their relatively difficult exhibition victory over Division II University of Philadelphia last week. Looking at last year's statistics and results is a rather pointless activity because James Madison was one of the most injured teams in the country in 2011-2012. While they return a bevy of experienced players, some of them last played a meaningful game in 2010-2011.
Like UCI, the Dukes like to get up the floor as quickly as they can and set ball screens to set up the drive and dish. They collectively use the 3-point shot as a main cog in their offensive arsenal. Against Philly, the Dukes hoisted 22 three-pointers out of 55 total shots. That's exactly 40% of their shot attempts. They hit 9 of them, for a 41% success rate. If Bruin fans thought Irvine was raining threes in the second half on Tuesday, wait until they get a gander of the Dukes.
Although Brady doesn't have a player as unique as UCI's Michael Wilder, he does have a roster that is made up of physically similar players to Irvine. There isn't a great deal of size on the James Madison roster, but the Bruins saw that meant very little on Tuesday night. The guards are almost universally in the 6'4" to 6'6" range and they are pretty athletic. The Bruins are going to be presented with some matchup issues, especially with regard to Larry Drew II, who could be as much as six inches shorter than the Duke he is assigned to guard.
Speaking of UCLA's defense, it was pretty poor against UCI in a number of areas. Keep in mind that the Bruins were without Tyler Lamb and his status for the James Madison game is uncertain, which left Coach Ben Howland with a backcourt rotation of Norman Powell, Drew and Jordan Adams. Playing without Lamb, let alone Shabazz Muhammad, really handcuffed UCLA's half-court defense. Adams, to his credit, offensively carried the Bruins in this game with 26 points, including 16-16 on free throws. The problem was at the other end. The Anteater that Adams was guarding at any given time was probably responsible for 22 points. Adams is still learning, with this being only his second "real" collegiate game. Powell and Drew were generally solid on defense, with Howland using Powell to try to put out fires all over the floor. The problem was when Powell was assigned to a different UCI player, the one he was guarding before that typically was able to do something to hurt the Bruins.
The Bruin post defense was a mess. The defensive rotations, even when they were on, tended to be late and only lasted through one or two Anteater pass rotations. Take the final play of regulation (where UCI missed two free throws with the game tied and 2.6 seconds left). Four Bruins flew to the ball, and to use a football term, they lost gap integrity. The one Bruin not on the ball allowed his player to get inside of him at the top of the key and receive the pass that led to the situation that gave UCI a chance to win.
James Madison is going to run the same kind of offense, which is almost a hybrid dribble-drive motion coupled with a traditional motion. The good news for Howland is that the Dukes aren't quite as quick in the backcourt as UCI was Tuesday night.
The main cog in James Madison's offense is redshirt senior A.J. Davis (6'6" 210 lbs.). He led the Dukes in scoring last season at 15.9 PPG and scored 17 in the exhibition victory over Philadelphia. He is more of an outside shooter than a slasher, though he can do both more than adequately. Chances are that Howland will ask Kyle Anderson (if he gets a clean bill of health after his Wednesday MI) to guard Davis. Adams will also see time on Davis.
The other backcourt players are also redshirt seniors, Devon Moore (6'4" 175 lbs.) and Alioune Diouf (6'6" 220 lbs.). Neither is truly a shooter, although they are both capable of hitting the outside jumper, but rather slashers. If Brady were smart, he'd post up whichever one of these guards finds themselves being guarded by UCLA's Drew. Drew and Powell will have an advantage in athleticism over the Duke guards and Adams should be able to hold his own on the defensive end, at least in terms of quickness.
The "post" players are also seniors (yes, James Madison starts an all-senior line-up). They are Russian Andrey Semenov (6'7" 200 lbs.) and Rayshawn Goines (6'6" 265 lbs.), who is probably the closest thing James Madison has to UCI's Wilder.
Semenov is an interesting player in that he is expected to defend the low post (he was the Dukes' second-leading rebounder last season) yet he is almost strictly a three-point specialist on offense. Fully almost two-thirds of his shots last season came from behind the arc.
Goines is the only true post threat in Brady's starting line-up. His balance is very good because of his low-to-the-ground build and he knows how to use his 265 lb. frame. Like Wilder, he can step out and hit the outside shot, but his consistency is far below that of the UCI player.
The Duke bench is filled with players of similar size as the starters. Freshman Ron Curry (6'4" 190 lbs.) and Charles Cooke (6'6" 190 lbs.) will see a great deal of action, as will sophomore Arman Marks (6'4" 195 lbs.). The one exception is senior post Gene Swindle (6'11" 265 lbs.), who will try and "steal" a few minutes here and there…okay, bad joke. Swindle is the one James Madison player who is a non-factor offensively outside of the paint.
With Semenov setting up shop around the arc, it opens up the lane for James Madison's wing players to drive to the basket. The offense will look very similar to what the Bruins saw on Tuesday against UCI. Obviously, the Bruins need to work on their defensive rotations and on getting a hand up to a shooter. All of the Dukes' starters can hit that outside shot and all have quick releases. It would help the Bruin cause if they could limit James Madison's ability to dribble penetrate, and UCLA has a realistic chance of doing that. James Madison isn't nearly as quick as UCI.
The key to the game, other than defense, is rebounding. Unlike UCI, who entered the game with a proven record of getting quite a few offensive rebounds, James Madison's M.O. is that of a poor rebounding team. The Dukes were outrebounded by almost 6 RPG last season and their leading rebounder graduated. Certainly Goines helps, but he can't do the job by himself. If nothing else, the Bruins certainly shouldn't be on the wrong end of an 11-rebound margin on Thursday night.
From a personnel standpoint, it might be a good idea for Howland to give Josh Smith and/or Tony Parker more run in terms of minutes. The Wear brothers are playing too many minutes and, to be blunt, they almost cost the Bruins the game. Smith looked engaged and Parker very active on Tuesday.
The Bruins won a game they should have lost on Tuesday, a game they would have lost a year ago. That game will prove either to be a harbinger of things to come or a wake-up call for the Bruins with regard to intensity. The Bruins and their fans should see where the Bruins truly stand on a national scale next Monday and Tuesday in Brooklyn. The game against James Madison presents the Bruins with the same general dilemmas that UCI gave them, but the differences should help UCLA to a relatively comfortable victory.
James Madison 67
