Looks great, easier to install than the one I had for an earlier car. No long "adjustable" straps; these are already cut to correct length. "Carbon Fiber" appearance is a nice change and looks good. Installation was not bad but it would have been better if they pointed out exactly where I was to install the upper fender wheel well strap (eventually I found the small square cutout in the wheel well).

In Case You Missed It
Sufjan Stevens Enjoys A Shirtless Spring Break
In case you missed it, the indie-rock singer posted pictures of himself and friends enjoying Spring Break in Miami. Stevens rarely posts pics of himself, let alone shirtless ones, to his Tumblr so it was a nice treat for fans looking to heat things up.
No word on who his friend (below) is. The picture of him was just posted with the caption: "Miami Dolphins. Miami Vice. Moons Over Miami. Niceness is Thriceness."

Hi guys,
I have a problem in completely removing my previous installation of Grove.
This happens when I am installing Microsoft SharePoint Workspace and I receive an error that says: Setup has detected legacy Groove or Microsoft Groove Server software on this system. You must uninstall all legacy Groove and Microsoft Groove Server software before installing.
Setup Warning
Setup has detected legacy Groove or Microsoft Groove Server software on this system. You must uninstall all legacy Groove and Microsoft Groove Server software before installing or updating to Microsoft SharePoint Workspace. For more information, see your Microsoft SharePoint Workspace administrator.
I already followed its instruction, to remove my previous installation of Grove. I read an article on the internet, somewhat similar to my issue. It suggests to get into the registry, but I am afraid to touch the registry.
Guys are there any other ways of solving this issue.
Please share your ideas on my problem.
I hope to hear from you soon, thanks guys.

Hi, computers can only be operated in one Groove domain. If ever a computer is by now managed by one more Groove domain, this will stop the computer from the managed area. And it will lead into an identity issue and in previous crash. The solution for this is:
Log on to the Groove Manager website or management server website, then you will select a device model and just click the download management key devices, a download window will appear, once done just click save and enter the directory and save the registry key management server into a file. Reg.
You will then provide Reg file to the user that uses the clients computer, and make sure that the client computer on groove is closed. If you are seeing a Groove icon just disable or exit Groove. Double click .REG on the clients computer and add the key into the registry and managed Groove domain device, Now restart groove and then open the managed account.

Those are two applications that work hand in hand, and therefore to remove SharePoint which uses the legacy groove files, you will first need to remove the legacy groove application first. So do the following:
- On your computer click on start, and the click on control panel.
- Click on programs and features and then click on Add/Remove programs.
- From the list of installed programs, locate legacy groove and uninstall it.
- You will then need to restart the computer.
- Once you have removed legacy groove completely, you can repeat the same procedure, go to the control panel and remove SharePoint.

Usually, in other applications, installing the latest version automatically uninstalls the older one if it's still installed on the system and this is normal. But here, since Microsoft Office Groove is mostly included in the whole Microsoft Office package, I think this is the reason why Microsoft SharePoint Workspace can't automatically uninstall Microsoft Office Groove. But since you already mentioned uninstalling of the product but still nothing happened, I think it would be best to simply uninstall the whole Microsoft Office package before installing Microsoft SharePoint Workspace.
So, uninstall the whole Microsoft Office package from the Add or Remove Programs applet then proceed on installing Microsoft SharePoint Workspace after that. After doing this install Microsoft Office again. If doing this a somewhat similar message appeared on the screen again then simply deselect or remove Microsoft Office Groove from the selected applications of Microsoft Office that'll going to be installed. If on the other hand, you still can't install Microsoft SharePoint Workspace even after removing Microsoft Office you should use PC Tools Performance Toolkit to clean the registry.
After uninstalling Microsoft Office, run PC Tools Performance Toolkit and select the option to clean everything from your system or you may also select to clean only the registry. You can also use other registry cleaner to clean your Windows registry. After cleaning the registry, install Microsoft SharePoint Workspace again and then Microsoft Office making sure to deselect Microsoft Office Groove from the components being installed.

Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake
Asked by sweetsurrendercakes8. Answered on 5th August 2015
Full question
Nigella's Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake recipe uses a food processor. Can I use the creaming method to make the cake instead? Please advise. Thanks, Amy
Our answer
Most of Nigella's cakes that are made with a food processor can also be made with a hand or stand mixer, or even with a bowl, a wooden spoon and plenty of elbow grease. The Old Fashioned Chocolate (from Feast and on the Nigella website) can certainly be made by the creaming method.
Make sure that the ingredients are all at room temperature and sift or whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). Cream the butter and sugar together and then beat in the eggs one by one, adding a little of the flour mixture between each egg to prevent the mixture from curdling. Turn the speed to low and mix in half of the flour mixture then add the sour cream. When these are combined add the remaining flour mixture and mix again. You may prefer to fold in the flour mixture at ths stage and do give the cake batter a quick turn with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just to make sure that everything is thorougly combined at the bottom of the bowl.

3000 miles in 2016 (or bust)
Goals are funny. We want to achieve them but we like our routines. We like our habits, even the bad ones.
I set a goal of 3000 miles. I've wanted to do this kind of mileage before but never (I don't think) put it in writing. 60 miles a week doesn't seem insurmountable. But I've never been able to pull that kind of mileage off. Here are my most recent stats:
2015 Stats
Distance 2,114 miles
Elevation Gain 92,450ft
2014 Stats
Distance 2,345 miles
Elevation Gain 89,850ft
2013 Stats
Distance 2,710 mi
Elevation Gain 118,000+++ft (should have written this one down!)
2012 Stats
Distance 2,127.8mi
Elevation Gain 81,385ft
2013 was my best year for miles and climbing, and there is a great reason: I was laid off from my job for the first time in my entire life. Being out of work and being COMPLETELY stressed about it is a perfect recipe for high miles: high stress to pedal off and lots of free time to do it. Honestly I can thank cycling for getting me through that dark time. But things are on the upswing these days, so it would be great to log even higher miles and have them just be for fun, not exclusively for mental health.
Mid summer in 2015, I was feeling a loss of wind in my sails around training, about the approaching cyclocross season and how invested I could be or wanted to be in the race season. I got it together, mostly. But my miles dropped off hard as soon as daylight saving time came around, and with that, so did my overall fitness.
So why 3000 miles? It feels like a magic number to me. In 2013 when I was riding a ton, things started to shift for me in terms of my cycling performance. I got faster, I climbed better, I became a more capable cyclist. It felt so great. I moved off the plateau and onto higher ground, and it was nice, and surprising, to learn that was still possible in my forties.
So-3000 miles for 2016. Hopefully the mild winter will continue, my personal schedules fall into place, and I can get the saddle time I need to get there…..and hopefully I'll move off that plateau and onto that higher ground I'm looking for.
Off Season At Last
Cross season is over. Officially. I strung out the last two months as best as I could. I had a much better time this year due to a properly adjusted attitude. And now it's time to relax.
Right! That never happens. I'll spend this winter obsessing about what I should have done differently and not forgiving myself for not training harder, despite the reality of a highly demanding schedule.
What's on my list this winter?
- Mountain biking
- Trail running
- Hiking
So far this winter has been record setting mild. No snow, a few cold days but nothing serious. I need to get back into running; I have some serious muscle imbalance going on, and I need to challenge some different muscle groups. Yoga would help. Now I need someone to make me do some yoga.
In 2016 I am signed up for a few obstacle course races starting in the spring and concluding in September. I'm hoping to squeeze a couple of mountain bike races in this summer too. Mountain biking is something I really love and during the summers I find myself not spending as much time as I would like in the woods.
Goals for 2016 will be forthcoming, but right now, no agendas, just fun. Happy holidays everyone!
The Ice Weasels Cometh, El Nino Style
At last, I've experienced the infamous Ice Weasels. Considered the end of the season party for the New England Cyclocross community, I have regrettably missed this party for the last 3 years. Now I see what all the fuss is about. This was a blast. A completely rad course, beer handups, White Russian handups, candy cane handups, silly costumes, a Star Wars theme, and a bike jump! What more could a girl ask for? Oh, the amazing #NECX community. So great. With ironically warm temperatures in the low 60's, the Ice Weasels did not disappoint. Here are the highlights:
- the above photos collected from links from the crossresults.com site Thank you to the awesome #necx for sharing!
The race had some serious gnar. Crazy chutes and granite ladders, dual pump tracks through the woods, a deep sand section that hells yeah, I rode through nearly every time, and lots of on and off the bike action. I really loved this course–it was sick and twisted in all the best ways and the cheering from spectators was a frenzy of fun. I haven't raced since Northampton last month and have had almost zero time on the bike. My fitness was marginal but none of this mattered: this race was all about the fun. But, you still are racing, you are still moving along at a good clip. So when I felt a pop in my left calf on my very first dismount, followed by searing pain, I knew things were not good.
At first I tested what I could do….riding the crazy downhills was so much fun, I loved it. I heard a couple loud crashes behind me as women lost it on the loose sand descent of some of the downhills. I played tug of war with a Cannondale rider. It was hard to assess what shape my calf was in while I was on the bike. I was in the moment.
Then I dismounted for the granite steps, and I felt more searing pain in the calf. I could pedal fine, but running off the bike, and worse, remounting, was agony. I limped through my runs off the bike. I slowed way down, babied it as much as possible, and at times, walked when I would have been running. I tried to push through it but to what end? This was the fun race, I reminded myself. When someone is sticking a solo cup in your face…..sometimes, sometimes you should just slow down and take it.
Next time, I will!

Spartan Sprint Boston 2015
Last year I wrote that the Spartan Sprint was no joke. That has never been more true. In fact, this year, it was even harder. And last year was pretty freaking hard.
I didn't race this event, but experienced it with family. We took our time with each obstacle and I failed at some. I won't beat myself about that. I was feeling pretty anxious about contaminating my wounds front he crash I had the day before at Forest Park. I knew there would be a ton of mud and being that it took place on a farm, there were bound to be lots of other biological goodies hanging out in said mud. I used the tegaderm on both my leg and elbow, and reinforced it with duct tape to keep out the gross stuff. And there was plenty of gross at Spartan Sprint.
Last year I only failed at 2 obstacles. This year there were many more. The obstacles were hard–more upper body challenges that I didn't see any women conquering. I was constantly stressing about my leg and elbow, and half way through the 100 yard barbed wire crawl (yeah, 100 freaking yards), the duct tape failed on my elbow and I made the decision to abandon that obstacle. I just couldn't willingly smash dirt and manure into an open weeping wound. I'm tough. I'm not stupid.
I felt bad about it, a little. I don't like bagging out on challenges, so it bothered me, and it changed my attitude for most of the race. I wish I had been without these wounds so I could have approached the event with more zeal and less caution. But as I type this 5 days later, my elbow is still weeping and I've been fighting an infection for the better part of the week. I'm finally starting to feel like I might have turned a corner and it will start to close up and heal a bit, but it really still just hurts. The leg is healing nicely though–so that's getting better anyway. I just need the elbow to catch up.
Even without succeeding at all the obstacles, the whole event is still wicked hard. I did my burpees and climbed walls and scaled cargo nets and jumped over fire and all. It's not cycling, but it was fun, and I definitely used a bunch of muscles I'm not used to using, which isn't a bad thing at all.
Now….back to cycling!
Slow Ramp Up
I'm lying on my couch right now, looking at my road bike which needs a tube change before tomorrow morning's ride. I cannot summon the energy to do it.
I worked out twice today, once on the bike, again with a 4 mile hike, and I can't tell if I'm just that out of shape, or if I'm really feeling my age these days.
My rides have felt slow to me in 2015. It's almost May–I got a late start (we all did here in the Northeast), but I'm still feeling like riding is taking more effort than it should. Was my hibernation that profound? Is the hole I'm crawling out of that deep? I don't know.
I've set some goals for myself and I put some serious thought into them to make them reasonable, yet not too soft. I'm still super pressed for time, sneaking in rides here and there–an hour on the bike when I can grab it. When I do ride, it's almost always on the cross bike, and I almost always try to add something different: a new path. A piece of dirt road I haven't explored yet. Even just riding the grass next to the road. If it's going to be an effort, I need to keep it fun.
Today I stayed local while my son was at baseball practice, and explored the banks of the Connecticut River. I saw a loon and came across these raccoon tracks. These are the perks of exploring with a cross bike.
I finally hired a sitter–who starts tomorrow, The extra time I buy (literally) will allow me to push into rides that are 2, 3 or more hours. I need the base miles, more time in the saddle, to stretch and build my conditioning.
But again, right now I'm barely able to lift my arm to change the channel on the TV with the remote. Hopefully as I slowly re-enter my exercise routine my fitness will return and I won't feel so shattered every weekend.
Why I'm totally, completely, not ready for cyclocross
Ug! I'm not riding nearly enough for so many reasons. I'd like to being doing 70-80+ miles a week. Instead, I'm sometimes breaking 40. Why? Same old same old.
- No sitter. Freaking babysitters, I cannot find a reliable one to save my life. I really need to fix this because I'm not riding my bike after work.
- Work. I was riding to and from work every once and a while. That's pretty much stopped now. There's several reasons for this I won't get into, but mostly it's extremely difficult to squeeze 20 mins of riding before and after work, put a full day in, and still make it back in time to pick up my son from day camp. I just don't have to time without something giving.
- Needing rides to be more for fun. I've been super stressed lately and I use riding to work out tension, fill my brain with endorphins, and clear my head of the bullshit of life.
My life feels wobbly right now, and one of the most grounding elements for me in the last 10 years has been cycling. Friday evening I picked the hardest place I know to mountain bike. I needed to mash pedals, to hurt, to jar myself free of my stress. I fell off a bridge into the muddy edge of a pond. Win. Then, last Saturday I had the whole day to ride, and I thought about doing a 50 miler. Then I thought, well, maybe 40. Then I thought, no. Imposing a goal was just adding to my stress, and not taking it away. I needed to just go ride my bike and let the rest work itself out. It worked. 26 miles and I found a strong steady rhythm. I pedaled until I felt resolved, if only for a little while. Then I went home and got shit done (which also helps my stress). Sunday, rain was forecast so I tried to beat it. I didn't. That wasn't a bad thing. Mountain biking in the warm rain washed my week clean. Mountain biking always means a 1/3 of the miles I'd be doing on a road bike, but the visceral action of mountain biking is like deep tissue massage for my soul.
That leaves me here: not really ready for cyclocross. OK I've been riding some, but not training. Major Jake is still hanging in my basement, untuned, unlubed and needing new bar tape. I'm not doing intervals. I'm not practicing dismounts. I'm not practicing remounts. I'm not trying to cure my stutter step. I'm not practicing carries, suit-casing, or shouldering while sprinting up a muddy hill. And I haven't built that single speed cx bike yet either.
And I have to be honest, I'm not sure I should be putting my energies here, since life is needing my time and energy and some work that doesn't involve a bicycle.
I have a vacation coming up and will be riding my bike at the largest mountain bike park in the world. While it's unwise to have expectations, mine are high. I won't by riding the whole time but I will be immersed in one of the most active mountain biking cultures on the earth: Whistler, BC. Maybe after I return, I can refocus on cyclocross, and some of the non bicycle parts of my life. Because all of it can be better.

Last year, I did a Warrior Dash, and it was fun. A 5K with a few fun and dirty obstacles. It was over pretty quickly, enough time to hang out with some friends from High School and have a few beers, and I was happily sore afterwards.
So it didn't seem like a big deal to sign up for a Spartan Sprint. I signed up last February, and promptly forgot about the whole thing.
My girlfriend mentioned it to me a couple of weeks ago; she had started running to prep for it. I wasn't particularly concerned. I ride my bike all the time and I'm in great shape–really, this is NBD, right?
So, so, wrong.
We left early and arrived at Mohegan Sun about 2 hours before out start time. PLENTY of time to register, pin numbers, check our bag. And better–a clutch parking spot in the garage, attached to the casino–which means access to REAL bathrooms (no port-o-pottie!). We ventured into the casino in search of sunscreen, and benefited from the shade of a dark, air conditioned, oxygen rich environment. Outside the sun was bright and shining hot–temps quickly ramping into the upper 80's and lower 90's. We prepped to start, staying cool as long as possible.
The start should have been the first clue. To simply load into the starting area, you had to get over a 4 foot wall. 250 people in our heat hopping over a 4 foot wall in a 10 minute period.
What's a Burpee?
We started with a chest thumping Arooo! and were off. The first obstacle after the start was a 6 foot wall. Um, yeah. I gave my gf a hoist but then was left alone on the other side without a team member. The penalty for not completing a challenge was 30 burprees, which was the 1st thing I didn't know about this event. Not to mention, until then I had never DONE a burpee. I asked a impossibly good looking, mostly naked, I just walked off the cover of Men's Health Magazine dude for a lift over the 6 foot wall. Young man, could you help your mom over this wall? It worked. Half a second later, I was over–no burpees this time.
The next obstacles were pretty easy. Hay bales, over a few 4 foot walls, under some barriers with netting, and through some trenches of muddy water. The heat and sun were worse than the course so far. This was going well. Then we hit the barbed wire. About 50 feet of it. Some of it was electrified. I've crawled under barbed wire before but never this low, never this much. The ground was grassy, but that was too gentle, so sharp landscaping stones were sprinkled throughout the course to drag your body across. The sun beat down hard. Sweat poured, grass stuck to our clothes. Pinned numbers were scattered on the ground, ripped off people's shirts. Now the fun was really beginning.
An elevation change, a woods run, then the sandbag carry. I don't know how many pounds it was, but we carried it up a steep grade and loose dirt hill, then back down that same hill. Hot, slow, punishing. The climb was slower than you intended your legs to move. Between the weight of the bag and the intense heat, gravity felt twice as heavy. Finally, we dumped the bags at the bottom and pressed on.
More woods, more hiking. We entered the Mohegan Reservation which as a child I would have imagined Native Americans hunting and running through the woods, silent as a deer. Nothing like the slow steady, sometimes clumsy march we were on. Almost everyone was walking now, and eventually we came to the cargo net climb. This was about 12 or 15 feet high, I'm not good with distances. The net was only so big and with so many people on it, it bounced and stretched in every direction, making climbing and coming over the top extra challenging. Several people who had made it over pulled a turn at the bottom, pulling it taut by sitting on the ground, bracing the net with arms and legs to keep the tension on and assist other climbers get over with out getting literally bounced off. When I got over, I took a turn at the bottom, while a guy who weighed in at approximately 240 lbs. nearly came crashing down on me. He didn't, thankfully. We advanced to the next challenge.
How long is this race?
What was the next challenge? I'm not even sure. There was a spear throw, and inverted wall climb, a rope climb over 4 feet of freezing cold water, more walls, more barriers to scootch under and over and through. I failed the spear throw (had to make it stick in a hay target), which meant 30 burpees, and I failed the rope climb over the cold water, which was another 30 burpees. The heat was insane. I was about 20 burpees in after the rope climb when I felt a shrill pain from the back of both my thighs simultaneously. I froze mid-burpee and crawled into an upright pose. I had really pulled something–two somethings, equally, and I didn't feel bad about NOT doing the additional 10 burpees. I took a break and strolled to the next obstacle, which was lifting a 60 lb. round cannonball off the ground, carry it across to another station, drop it, do 5 burpees, then pick it up and carry it back. Asinine. There was a real back up at this challenge for the women, because many women struggled lifting the 60 round pounds. We were allowed to help each other on this, it was really the only way to keep things moving. I was happy I was able to left it on my own, but passed the round cement ball to another woman waiting on the other side when I was finishing the challenge.
We were now 4 miles into the race, and I thought it all along it was a 5K. We went back into the woods and up a steep rocky path, a rock garden, more switch backs. 90% of the people were walking. We could see the casino now. We flipped a few humongous tires, then climbed a few stories up a wooden ladder, across a massive platform that bridged a street, and back down. This was the last bunch of challenges and all at the finale. The herculean hoist, the traverse wall, the rope walk up a slanted wall, and finally–the fire jump. We were done! Medals and bananas and a free t-shirt awaited us.
We didn't stay for the free beer–my coupon was ripped off my bib a left to be found somewhere on the course. We had left the house at 6:45AM and didn't get home until 5:30PM. I was out cold by 8PM. Two days later and I'm still moving like a geriatric. I won't underestimate a Spartan Sprint again.

Today's post is in partnership with Basic Invite. All opinions are my own.
Do you know what will make you feel really old?
When the baby that makes you an aunt gets engaged.
Yep, that will do it.
This summer, both my college-aged nieces were interns at Mercy House and it was so fun working with them. They were a huge help, worked hard and we are going to miss them like crazy!
I blinked and my nieces became old enough to be my co-workers. Life is crazy like that.
Two of my nephews tied the knot this past year and I was the aunt trying not to cry at the wedding. I'm secretly glad my niece is next because I get to be in on all the planning. I actually taste-tested cookies for the reception. I mean someone's got to do it, right?
All through high school and college, I watched my sister's oldest child wait for the right guy. And I loved the example of purity and passion for the world that she has modeled for my girls. And when a missionary boy from India swept her off her feet, no one doubted he was made for her.
I, mean, seriously, look at them:
So, when the fabulous Basic Invite invited me to try out their invitations, I asked if I could help my niece choose her Save the Dates.
Mostly, because I loved looking through all their super fun options.
I think their future kids will be world changers.
And they will have great hair.
Basic Invite has so many options to choose from. They don't just have a ton of Save the Dates to choose from, they offer gorgeous wedding and party invitations of all kinds, and the perfect announcements for every major life event.
Here were some of our favorite features:
Almost Unlimited Colors – Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design you can change the color of each element on the card to over 160 different color options. So, you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it – down to the littlest detail. This is what we feel sets us apart from almost any other online stationery company and is what we feel is our biggest draw.
Custom Samples – Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers the ability to order a printed sample of their actual invitation so they can see exactly how it will print as well as the paper quality before they ever have to place an order for 500 invitations.
Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes – Basic Invite is just as colorful with our envelopes as we are with our invitations. Customers can choose from over 40 different colors when it comes to their envelopes so that they can make their invitation stand out even before it is opened. All of our envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be quickly and securely closed without having to lick a single one.
Over 200 Wedding Invitation Sets – Each of our wedding invitations are part of a set. You can find everything from save the dates to wedding invitations and enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs and even matching thank you cards to finish it off!
Go take a look at Basic Invite. You'll be so glad you did!

Come check out the climbing wall, body slide or tube slide, and for the little ones we have zero depth entry, and if you'd rather relax, float along the Lazy River!
July is Parks and Recreation month. This July America will be 31 years of Parks and Recreation month and the enduring importance of Parks and Recreation for the world. From the start, parks were created to serve the people and to give them a place to appreciate nature, exercise, socialize and have FUN. This mission lives on and will continue to intensify into the future. This July, let's celebrate the past, present and future of Parks and Recreation. Each July, our department strives to provide families with unique and fun opportunities for the whole family. This year marks our 6th Annual Owatonna's Weekend Out. The weekend will kick off Friday night with a camp out and showing of The Good Dinosaur in Brown Park. So mark your calendar for July 15-17, and look for more details about other Weekend Out activities coming soon!

More Brooktree information and many new golf specials are listed later in this brochure.
Parks and Recreation are vitally important to establishing and maintaining the quality of life in a community ensuring the health of family, youth, and contributing to the economic and environmental well-being of a community. Research has clearly shown that Parks and Recreation helps reduce obesity, depression, and crime, all while building stewardship, cultural diversity, economic development, alternative transportation and academic success. There are no communities that pride themselves on their "quality of life" without such communities having a robust, active system of parks and recreation programs for their pubic use and enjoyment.
Don't miss any of our summer activities…stay connected…like our Facebook pages (Owatonna Parks & Recreation, Owatonna SeniorPlace, River Springs Water Park, Owatonna Dog Park, and Brooktree Golf Course), and bookmark our website – www.ci.owatonna.mn.us/parksrecreation
We look forward to seeing you out and about in YOUR Parks this summer, as the "Benefits are Endless" in your "Best Investment," The Owatonna Parks and Recreation Department!
James "Corky" Ebeling, Director of Parks, Recreation and Government Buildings
Owatonna Parks & Recreation Mission Statement

Today the descendants of Gustave Sennelier still create their extraordinarily luscious colors from the finest hand-ground pigments combined with pure, first-press non-yellowing safflower oils. They produce an outstanding collection of oils distinguished by a "satin" finish and buttery feel. The paints still entrance artists, just as they did when pioneers such as Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro first used them.
Many colors are exclusive to Sennelier, including Chinese Orange, Sennelier Transparent Brown, a range of semi-opaque Mars colors, transparent Alizarins, and the unusual Cinnabar and Cobalt Greens. Their Titanium White is considered to be the most opaque Titanium White ever made.
Every one of these colors is remarkably rich, vivid, and responsive, as only a Sennelier oil can be.

My favorite brand of paint
By Matt K
from Dallas, Texas
Both Sennelier oil paints and acrylic paints are my absolute favorites as far as pigment density, work-ability, and available colors. Over time I have gravitated from using many different brands to almost exclusively Sennelier.

So many bedenimed cheerleader butts in this storyline.
Is it me, or does Neal Rubin have an working concept of how humor functions? I kind of dig the bromance between motormouth Tip and Big Silent John, mainly because some of Tip's dialogue is actually kind of clever.

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery. But sometimes, as this week's Rogue demonstrates, imitation can morph into borrowing another group's credibility.
For the past three election cycles, Our Oregon, a union-backed advocacy group, has published a voters' guide and mailed it to hundreds of thousands of voters.
The publication (see this year's version at defendoregon.org) evaluates ballot measures and identifies the positions that various groups have taken on them.
But this year, opponents of Ballot Measure 75, which would plunk a Las Vegas-sized casino in Wood Village, appropriated the layout and look of Our Oregon's previous voter's guides.
The design and font of the anti-casino publication is virtually identical to Our Oregon's 2008 guide, down to the language on the mailer's front cover:
"Simple and clear information and recommendations for Oregon voters," reads Our Oregon's 2008 guide.
"Simple and clear information for Oregon voters," reads the 2010 guide, paid for by the committee called "Vote No on 75—it's a bad idea."
Our Oregon spokesman Scott Moore says the casino opponents' mailing is roguish for two reasons: First, the mailer mimics Our Oregon's design so closely that voters may think the communication comes from his group when it does not.
It would be in casino opponents' interest to create that confusion because Our Oregon's endorsements express the view of unions and nonprofits who represent hundreds of thousands of voters.
"Voters have told us in the past that our guides are very useful to them because they identify where groups they trust stand on ballot measures," Moore says. "Now, along comes a cheap imitation, almost a carbon copy, that risks reducing the value of what we do going forward."
Second, while the No on 75 mailer urges a "no" vote, Our Oregon is neutral on the casino measure.
Casino opponents, largely financed by Native American tribes who don't want competition for the gambling dollar, call Our Oregon's claims "absurd."
"Are you kidding?" asks Justin Martin, a Grand Ronde tribal spokesman. "There's no duplication here. I'm worried about getting voters to vote 'no' and they're worried about their brand? Gimme a break."
WW also opposes the casino measure (see a list of all our endorsement opinions here), but thinks opponents are using the equivalent of a marked deck with this mailing.

US futures point south; China to introduce measures to curb rising food prices 0 comments
Markets are trading with a significant negative tone Tuesday, with concerns over possible fiscal tightening in China, still dominating price action. This comes not only after South Korea raised their interest rates overnight; a move widely expected, but also as news comes to the fore, that China will also be introducing measures to curb rising food prices.
The economic calendar sees a busy day in North America, with the US seeing weekly sales data in both the Redbook and Goldman Store Sales, the October PPI, Industrial Production and the Housing Market Index. At the same time the Canadian September Manufacturing Survey data is also due up.
US stock futures have been underperforming in pre-market trade Tuesday, hit by the broader sell off in the stock markets after the Korean rate hike helped weigh on Asian, and then European stocks overnight.
The financial and real estate sector have generally been leading losses, as fears mount they will be hit hardest by any slow down in growth in Asia, while mining and resource stocks are also underperforming in Europe on the back of sharp losses in the commodity markets in recent sessions.
The boost on Wall St yesterday on the back of the Caterpillar acquisition, is expected to continue to offer some respite for the industrials when the market opens, although a strong rebound in the Treasury market is expected to keep money of the equity books.
On the earnings calendar, results from Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) are both set to dominate today.
In somewhat of a paradoxical move, US Treasuries saw a sharp sell off yesterday, despite the forthcoming start of the Fed buyback program (the facility used in quantitative easing), with yields on the 10-year hitting a 3-month high at 2.95%.
This sharp drop and corresponding rise in yields has brought back some investors today however, although generally speaking gains are somewhat lacklustre, the curve flattening slightly as the long end outperforms.
In Europe the peripheral sovereign bonds are seeing some respite from their ongoing weakness today, as speculation grows that EU minister will push Ireland and Portugal to spell out their plans to handle the debt when they meet in Brussels today.
This also comes amid growing speculation that Ireland will be the beneficiary of some EU bailout funds, despite the Irish government insisting that is not the case, after news the country is in "ongoing contact" with international officials.
This growing stability in the Eurozone peripheral bonds was reflected in the Spanish auction of 12 and 18-month bills today, where the Spanish debt agency, Tesoro Publico, announced they sold a combined €6.4 billion; the 12-month covered 1.9 times, and the 18-month seeing a bid to cover of 3.7 times.
In the FX market, the greenback is under pressure today following comments from the New York Fed President William Dudley yesterday, after he said that an exit from the US Federals Reserve 'loose' monetary policy could be years away.
As Eurozone peripheral bonds stabilise, so too has the euro, managing to squeeze out some gains today against most currency pairs, helped further by some decent German ZEW numbers. Sterling in the mean time has also seen strength coming through this morning; cable jumping 30 pips following the higher than expected CPI numbers released for the UK today.

Arnold Schwarzenegger discusses Prop 8 ruling on 'Tonight Show'
Arnold Schwarzenegger has seemingly always made his appearances on "The Tonight Show wit
h Jay Leno" newsworthy and Tuesday night was no different.
While Hollywood notables Drew Barrymore, Kathy "Call me 'Norma Gay'" Griffin, Pete Wentz, blink-182's Mark Hoppus, "The Veronicas" Lisa, Sophia Bush, Emmy Rossum, Kelly Osbourne, "Dollhouse's" Eliza Dushku and George Takei were protesting the California Supreme Court's ruling on the validity of Proposition 8 in West Hollywood, the Governator was speaking out about the decision across town in Burbank during the final week of Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" tenure.
Not necessarily the loudest critic of the proposition against gay marriage, Schwarzenegger admitted he voted against it and said that he believes "eventually it will be overturned."
The proposition passed with 52% of the vote in November, invalidating a ruling the California Supreme Court made six months earlier. During that period, 18,000 gay marriages were performed. Supporters of gay marriage appealed the proposition, but the court upheld the election results while still keeping the gay marriages already performed intact. Both sides expect this fight to go back to the polls in 2010 or 2012. Without a Presidential election to distract contributors, supporters of gay marriage to expect even more help from the gay-friendly Hollywood community.

Almost every restaurant serves French fries. (If you're looking for good fries, head over to this Readers' Restaurant Picks post.) But only a select few restaurants serve that wonderful sweet/savory combination that is sweet potato fries.
Do your eyes light up when you see the rare sweet potato fry option on a menu? If so, this is the place to discuss.
Which restaurant makes the best sweet potato fries? Where are you willing to pay that extra dollar for this upgraded side?
We've talked about sushi here before, but let's broaden things up a bit.
Japanese menus include more than sushi. You'll most likely see teriyaki, donburi and Sake at Japanese restaurants. And those big udon noodles. Yum.
So what good Japanese restaurants does Milwaukee offer?
Valentine's Day is upon us, and we'll use it as an excuse to bring up the topic of romantic restaurants.
But if you really want to keep a spark in your relataionship, bookmark this blog post for reference all year round, not just on this Hallmark holiday.
When you want to spend a romantic dinner out with your beloved, where do you go?
So often the restaurants named in this blog can cost you a pretty penny. For an exquisite dining experience, it can be worth it to splurge.
But who says you have to run up a huge check to enjoy good food in Milwaukee? When you just want some quality food at a low price, there are plenty of places to turn.
This week let's talk about the restaurants that are easier on the wallet. When you're looking for cheap - but good - eats, where do you go?
Small plates are big right now.
In fact, Journal Sentinel dining critic reviewed a small plates restaurant today.
Eating at a restaurant that specializes in tapas, or small servings, is a communal experience. You order a few intriguing menu items; you share them. You order a few more; share.
Where can you go in Milwaukee for a nice piece of the small plate trend?
Sometimes you're not in the mood for anything exotic. You just want some good, down-home cooking: macaroni and cheese, pot pie, meatloaf, stew, grilled cheese, etc.
But you don't want to be the one doing the cooking.
What restaurant makes the best comfort food?
This week's Food section featured a story about what we eat when we eat alone. Some people eat some pretty weird things, while others take the opportunity to make a special meal for themselves.
An accompanying moderated forum started in on the topic of single-friendly restaurants. Let's make it official here.
What's the best restaurant for dining alone?
Birthday time!
If you're not one to make homemade cakes, or you're serving a large party, from whom do you order the cake?
There's a lot to take into account here... decorations, flexibility, service and of course taste...
Which bakery makes the best cake?
For some, dining out isn't just about the food, atmosphere or service. It's about the wine.
A good wine paired correctly can enhance a meal. But it takes a knowledgeable restaurant staff to help diners select and enjoy that perfect glass of wine.
What local restaurants have a superb wine list and the staff to help you navigate it?
This week dining critic Carol Deptolla debuted her list of best restaurant debuts in 2009.
What new restaurants have you come to love this year? What would be on your list of favorite restaurants that opened in 2009?
See all Readers' Restaurant Picks topics:
What's no. 5 on your list of ways you love cheese?
Our list starts with:
1. Mac 'n' cheese
2. Grilled cheese sandwich
3. Cheese soup (especially the beer variety)
4. Pizza

If someone chitchating, holding hands or romancing in the campus will be summoned
Cases of love-linked suicides by students have got college managements worried. Hoping to pre-empt such ugly situations, a growing number of them are resorting to strict segregation of the sexes on the campus.
A stitch in time saves nine (or, at least, one potential suicide)! That's the policy being adopted by a small but growing number of colleges in the wake of some recent suicides by collegians that have been linked to 'love' gone wrong. Ergo, boys and girls can no longer sit together in class, or get too 'comfy' with the opposite sex even in the canteen or the library.
Earlier this year, a student from Bihar ended his life by jumping in front of a running train. A suicide note recovered by the police revealed that the boy had taken the extreme step after being ditched by his girlfriend for another suitor. Prior to that, a first-year IIM-B student, depressed over her boyfriend's status message 'rejecting her' on a social networking site, committed suicide. Not just suicides, a good number of fights have been reported from city campuses over love rivalries. Even though the colleges are not involved in these unfortunate incidents, they end up getting their image tarnished. Hence, some college managements feel the quickest and simplest way to prevent such situations is to get to the 'root' of the problem and segregate the sexes.
For example, Nagarjuna College of Engineering and Technology (NCET) has separate rows in the same class for boys and girls. Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, college principal Dr S G Gopalakrishna said, "In our college, we have separate seating arrangements for boys and girls. We do not want to see them moving together even in the canteen, library or any other part of the campus."
What, we asked, would the college management do if some youngsters couldn't keep their hands to themselves? Without batting an eyelid, Dr Gopalakrishna said, "If we find someone chit-chatting or holding hands or romancing on the campus or indulging in a public display of affection, we will summon them, counsel them and tell them not to do so in the future. I am sure no student will cross the line after that." He added that if some students still failed to toe the line, their parents would be given a talking-to about the need to discipline their wards. "Prevention is better than cure," he said, in an oblique reference to the incidents of love-linked suicides.
Other colleges are also putting in place strict disciplinary measures. Dr A Ramchandra, principal, AMC College, said, "No student should stand in the college corridor, the parking lot or elsewhere on the premises during class hours. Those found using cellphones on the campus will be given a warning first and subsequently fined Rs 300. VTU rules too say cellphones are banned."
Dr T Munikenche Gowda , principal, SJCIT, said if they find girls and boys 'misbehaving', they won't be allowed in class and their parents will be summoned to the campus.
Schools too are waking up to the dangers of pre-pubescent sexual infatuation. Kids' Campus International School principal Srikantappa said, "As they are at a tender age, we need to be careful. We ensure that there is not much mingling between boys and girls."

Over the past summer I was surprised to hear that so many organizations in P.E.I. do not allow the current and future trends in business such as social media in their organizations. I wonder sometimes, do they not allow calculators, credit cards, automobiles or telephones.
If managers only knew, the more they try to delay the future, the more behind their competitors they will be. Oh sure, I know some will say social media is a waste of time. I hear phrases such as social networking is really "Social Not-Working".
Unfortunately, with a small percentage of the employees that is correct. But managers should understand, those who are "not working", never were. They were just using other sources to not work.
I recall going around to workstations at companies where I was consulting and finding employees playing solitare on their computers, talking on the phone with friends and even playing chess behind their managers back.
The problem is not social media. The problem is employees who are not engaged and management who are not addressing the real issue which is employee apathy.
Let me take you back in history where fear and uncertainty of future technologies directed management decision making:
- In 1906 John Philips Sousa (a great composer) feared that the phonograph would create a marked deterioration in American music
- In 1926 the Knights of Columbus said "the telephone would break up home life and the practice of visiting friends".
- Even in ancient times, it was said that "writing would create forgetfulness in learners because people would cease to use their memories".
I could go on, but you get the idea. None of these dire warnings of future technologies came to fruition. This concern is natural because we fear what we do not understand or cannot control — which brings me to social media.
History is again repeating itself. Some people say that "Facebook will doom real world friendships", and many business managers (and owners) are concerned that it will decrease productivity in their organizations.
Many also fear that the internet will track, monitor, enslave and control us, so we should shut it down, not embrace it, and for sure do not allow it in our corporations. That is similar to not allowing calculators or any form of multi-media in our business.
Yes, bad things happen and people abuse the internet. But, does that mean we should ban it for everyone? Because some people drive reckless — should we ban automobiles for all people?
Business managers and owners should use the (Kung Fu) practice with social media. Kung Fu philosophy is about living within nature's laws and in harmony with the natural cycle of evolution. The internet and social media is part of that natural progression.
I had a client who was an owner of an automobile dealership who did not allow employees to engage in social media. On a day where it was very unlikely (because of weather) even one car would be sold. An employee (broke the rule) and tweeted a one-day (only) storm special. She sold six cars that day.
In a hospital where I was consulting, social media was banned. A surgeon, during an operation, broke the rule and tweeted an issue he had just encountered and asked for suggestions. He received (immediately) suggestions that saved the patient`s life. Arne't you glad he broke the rule.
My question is for managers this week: "What are you doing to harness the positive potential of social media in your organization?"

Community Structure and Market Outcomes: A Repeated Games-in-Networks Approach
- (pp. 32-69)
AbstractConsider a large market with asymmetric information, in which sellers have the option to "cheat" their buyers, and buyers decide whether to repurchase from different sellers. We model active trade relationships as links in a buyer-seller network and study repeated games in such networks. Endowing sellers with incomplete knowledge of the network, we derive conditions that determine whether a network is consistent with cooperation between every buyer and seller that are connected. Three network features reduce the minimal discount factor sufficient for cooperation: moderate and balanced competition, sparseness, and segregation. Incentive constraints are binding and rule out efficient networks. (JEL C73, D82, D85, Z13)

Art City Looks: Graeme Reid
In a week when the big news is the appointment of Laurie Winters as director at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, it seems like a good time to stop and consider what it means to be a Wisconsin artist.

Bright lights outshine Trans-Siberian Orchestra in ho-hum show
Taking on Christmas staples with a blend of symphonic bombast and progressive rock drama, Trans-Siberian Orchestra brought a much needed edge to the pleasant, ho-hum holiday music landscape beginning in 1996 , and in the process TSO has become one of the highest-grossing touring acts in North America.
But right before the start of the first of two TSO shows at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, there was a curious sound, or really a lack of a sound. Following some meek applause when the lights went dark, the crowd strangely grew quiet, to the point that the only noise was the awkward, quiet hiss of fog machines. »Read Full Article(14)

On Sunday morning, he was the very first pro prospect to learn his fate.
Daniels, a former University of Wisconsin tight end, was the first player taken in the fourth round, opening the second day of the draft with his selection by the Houston Texans with the 98th overall choice.
Daniels said he watched all 10 hours of Saturday's draft, "not because I thought I was going to get drafted in the first or second round or anything, but just because I like to see what's going on."
Daniels expected to get drafted sometime between 7:30 and 9 p.m. last night — during the third round. The call he was anticipating came 13 hours later.
Daniels received the call at about 9:45 a.m. Central Sunday from the Texans, verifying that he was still healthy and had not tangled with the law since the NFL Scouting Combine in February. According to Daniels, since he was A, healthy, and B, staying out of trouble, the Texans said, "We're going to take you with this next pick here."
"I was like, 'all right, cool.' It was a good start to the day," Daniels recalled during a conference call Sunday afternoon. He only talked to the Texans at the Combine and was unsure of their interest in him, but he also knew they needed a tight end.
Like former Badger teammate Brian Calhoun, who was drafted Saturday by Detroit, Daniels will work with a coaching staff in its first season at a new location. The Texans' staff includes tight ends coach Brian Pariani, who is in his first year at Houston and was a former tight ends coach at Denver.
"I know that it's a new coaching staff and we have a lot of talent there and we're working to turn the program around," Daniels said.
At tight end, Daniels finished his career with 852 receiving yards on 62 catches, including eight touchdowns. Those stats are a testament to his prolific pass-catching ability, which will serve him well in the NFL.
"I think in general, tight ends are a hot commodity in the league and it's in each team's best interest to use that and use a tight end to stretch the field and actually be a true weapon," Daniels said.
Daniels began his redshirt freshman year at special teams and quarterback but saw little playing time behind former Badger quarterbacks Brooks Bollinger and Jim Sorgi, both of whom are in the NFL. He converted to tight end during Alamo Bowl practices in 2002 but tore his anterior cruciate ligament — repeating an injury he had suffered in high school. He played tight end through the rest of his UW career, battling injuries to his ankle but ultimately sitting out just one game from his sophomore to senior years.
This weekend, of course, provided him a good opportunity to reflect on his years at Wisconsin.
"Looking back on that, it put things in perspective that I'm proud of what I've been through and proud of how far I've come and I'm honored to be in the position I am," Daniels said.
