If you plan to jump your bike, or manage long drops, you want to select a mountain bike with the least amount of suspension. A classic hardtail has a suspension fork at the front of the bike and a solid frame. The lack of suspension allows for greater control of the bike.
A full suspension bike makes for a smoother ride. The two-piece frame has front and rear triangles with shock absorbers. This type of suspension allows the bike to move faster over smooth surfaces.
The Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike comes with a front fork that provides just the right amount of give. The bike has more control than one with a full suspension and heavier riders will find that they don't bottom out on bumps. The suspension of a hardtail bike is easier to adjust than one with shocks and that means quick repairs in the field.
The BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike boasts a UDING DH32 /27.5″ Air Suspension Fork making it one of the best hardtails under 1000 dollars. The front fork performs well, straight out of the box, for riders up to 200 lbs. If you weigh much more than that, you may want to adjust the amount of air in the fork for better performance.
The Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike is fitted with a full suspension and delivers a smoother ride than its hardtail counterparts. The full suspension mean faster rides on declines and the front SR Suntour XCT suspension fork coupled with the four inches of suspension in the back handles almost any obstacle you might encounter. This bike is definitely one of the best full suspension mountain bikes under 1000 dollars.
Powerful Tektro brakes on the Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike give you the confidence to move at high speeds, knowing you can stop safely, even while barreling down a steep hill. The Tektro disc brakes use hard metallic pads that are less affected by water, mud, and heat, than the rubber pads found in traditional v-brakes. The metal pads are more resistant to wear and deliver more consistent braking power.
The hidden hydraulic disc brakes on the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike are top-of-the-line. Hydraulic disc brakes provide the most consistent, reliable, performance of any braking system. Since they are contained, elements are prevented from entering the mechanism and degrading the components, allowing for a longer-lasting durability. This alone makes this bike one of the best mtb under 1000 dollars.
The Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike comes with the same Tektro brakes as the Diamondback Sorrento Hardtail. The mechanical disc brakes are a step up from the basic v-brake and show well on this performance bike. Overall durability of the brakes is increased when metallic pads are used, as is the case with the Diamondback bikes.
All three bikes come standard with disc brakes, an option which one would expect on a more expensive mountain bike. The upgraded brakes make these bikes the best mountain bikes under 1000 dollars.
For a bike to properly fit the rider, the overall height of the bike seat should be 1" shorter than the rider's inseam. The bike's seat and handlebars can be adjusted, but if they are raised too far, the handling of the bike might be compromised.
The Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike comes in a variety of sizes. The XXS is appropriate for someone under 5' tall and the "Large" bike is designed for riders over 6' tall. The suspension and wheels can handle weights up to 300 lbs comfortably.
Available in two sizes, 17" and 19", the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike comfortably fits riders from 5' 8" to 6' 5"making it appropriate for taller riders. Riders who weigh 200 lbs find that the bike performs well and the suspension does not bottom out.
Like the Diamondback Sorrento, the Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike can be purchased in several sizes. Available in S, M, or L, the bike fits riders from 5' to 6' 5". The suspension and front tire are designed to handle weights of up to 250 lbs.
The aluminum frame and double aluminum wheels of the Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike and Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike give the bikes their lightweight durability. Aluminum frames are as durable as steel and much lighter. The strength of aluminum wheels causes the bikes to handle long drops better than wheels made from other materials.
The carbon frame of the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike makes this bike the lightest and most durable of the three. Carbon has the longest fatigue life of any frame material and aluminum has the shortest. Though both are very strong and durable, the carbon frame of the Beiou should outlast the aluminum frames found on the Diamondback bikes.
The Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike looks tough in classic black. No-nonsense, militaristic design looks rugged. This is definitely not a "girlie" bike, so don't expect bling.
If you are looking for a little more flair, you want to consider the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike This bike comes in classic black, with orange accents. It looks stylish and sleek. Add coordinating accessories and watch heads turn.
For those wanting something sporty, the bright cherry red paint scheme of the Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike draws the eye and makes one think of sportscars. This bike looks amazing and so will you, as you are race down hills and through the woods.
Priced around 1000 dollars, both the Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike and the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike
make excellent choices for those wanting a well-priced hardtail mountain bike, but the carbon frame of the Beiou makes it the best hardtail mountain bike under 1000 dollars.
The full suspension of the Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike and the lower price, compared to the other two bikes, makes this bike one of best mountain bikes under 1000 dollars.
The most important things to consider when purchasing a cross-country bike would be the suspension and the brakes. Full suspension allows greater speed across the more level terrain and disc brakes provide a more reliable performance. Based on this, the best mountain bike under 1000 dollars for cross-country applications is the Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike.
Enduro Mountain Bikes need to be built for speed. A sleek design and lighter frame is ideal. Considering that less weight means a faster descent, without a doubt, the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike comes in as the number one choice with its carbon frame. The disc brakes also mean reliable stopping power, as you travel along at great speeds.
Just like in Enduro Racing, downhill racing bikes must consider speed above all else. The highest consideration must be the bikes weight and suspension. While full suspension is desirable, the lightweight carbon frame on the BEIOU® Carbon Fiber 650B Mountain Bike outweighs everything else, and makes it the best choice for downhill racing applications.
Freeriders make a lot of long gap jumps and take a lot of harsh drops. The amount of abuse these bikes undergo necessitates a full suspension. The Diamondback Recoil 29er Mountain Bike has the best shock-absorbing ability with its full-suspension and, therefore, is the best choice as a freeride mountain bike.
A good dirt jump bike requires a hard suspension, that handles well, and reactive brakes. A hardtail suspension is preferable to a full-suspension bike. The wheels of a dirt jump bike should be made of aluminum of or steel for durability. The Diamondback Bicycles Sorrento Hardtail Complete Mountain Bike fits all these requirements.
All three of these mountain bikes provide a good number of upgrades for the price. Consider your needs and select the appropriate bike based on the type of suspension, braking, and overall durability. If speed is a concern, look for the lightest frame. Each of these mountain bikes performs well and without a doubt meets the criteria for being one of the best mountain bikes under 1000 dollars.

Tramadol Description
Tramadol is a potent pill reliever that is employed to alleviate moderate to severe pain. Tramadol produces its pain relieving effect by working with neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain. It reduces the intensity of transmission of pain signals in the brain so a person does not feel the pain. However, tramadol consumption must be monitored carefully as it has a tendency to produce addictive effects in people. The body may become physically dependent on the pill if you use tramadol for a duration longer than recommended. Get more detailed information on how to use the pill effectively while purchasing tramadol online to get rid of pain in less time.
Tramadol Dosage
To manage moderate pain doctors recommend taking intial canadian tramadol dosage of 50 – 100 mg to be taken every 4 to 6 hours. The dose can be commenced with 50 mg to make the body get used to the medicine and after a week you can maintain a dose of 100 mg for each interval. The dosage recommendation for chronic pain is different and can be obtained from a doctor. The dose can be titrated upward if more relief from pain is needed. Consulting a doctor might help you to get a dosage that is specific to your body condition and age. The extend-release tablets, on the other hand, should be taken more than once a day. The maximum dose should not exceed 300 mg per day.
Canadian online pharmacy tramadol cod pills must be stored in a tight container at 25 °C. A temperature between 15 –30 °C is still acceptable but the pill should be kept away from direct sunlight.

Tramadol being a pain relief pill, you need to take extra care with this medication. If you happen to forget to take the dose of canadian pharmacy tramadol due to a busy schedule, take the missed dose as soon you become aware of it. But if it is close to your next dose, skip the missed dose of tramadol and continue with your regular intervals. However, do not commit the mistake of taking the pill twice to make up for the missed dose. This leads to an over dosage of the medicine.

Hillbilly Casino
In a town known more for generating pop country 'hat acts' and contemporary Christian music, there is a storm brewing. Small independent bands with no management, booking, record labels (or even local media support) are changing the way people think about Nashville Tennessee.
One of the leaders of this movement is the Hillbilly Casino, the brain child of Nic Roulette, former singer for Indiana rockabilly powerhouse, 'The Blue Moon Boys". In 2004 Roulette moved to Nashville, where after about a year he eventually found a solid core of top notch players that were interested in really being a band. With bassist Geoff Firebaugh (BR5-49), guitarist Ronnie Crutcher (Tabasko Kat, Brian Setzer's Nashvillains) and drummer Andrew Dickson (Brian Setzer's Nashvillains) things really started to come together. What started as nothing more than a revved up rockabilly band playing for tips at Layla's Bluegrass Inn, on Nashville's famed Lower Broadway, has turned into a closet industry doing over 200 shows a year.
Though you might still find the Casino playing at Layla's when they're home, they've taken their show on the road as well. Theatres, clubs, and backwater bars From Hollywood, California to Bergen, Norway have seen the boys roll in, set up, and lay waste to any and all in attendance. Whether they're in some small club on their own, or supporting acts like the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Rancid, or The Reverend Horton Heat, these boys can play on any stage, in front of any audience, and own it. In December 2006, The Hillbilly Casino opened several dates for the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and every night this virtually unknown (at the time) band received standing ovations, and had new fans lining up to get their debut CD 'Sucker Punched'.
The Hillbilly Casino has performed along with the following national Acts…
Brian Setzer Orchestra (7 shows), Rev. Horton Heat, Rancid, Los Straightjackets, Southern Culture on the Skids, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, The Horrorpops, The Blasters, The Supersuckers, Doyle Bramhall, 7 Shot Screamers, Koffin Kats, Flatfoot 56, Lonesome Spurs, Three Blue Teardrops.
This band isn't local to Cincinnati.

Some lovely technique tips in this tutorial - love the side of the cardboard for stems! Beautiful work - inspired to pull out some masking fluid. Thank you!
The luminosity of watercolors is what fascinates and draws me to this medium. I like to paint atmospheric watercolors and continually try to stretch the boundaries of watercolor, sometimes using other media to create interesting textures in my watercolors. I look forward to sharing my techniques with you here on Skillshare.

Our videos of Life is Strange Ep.2
Shower scene
Off to see Chloe
All comments
I really identified myself with Max and it feels like she's a great old friend I've known for years, the writing and voice acting, and the way they convey her feelings is truly wonderful.
While the penultimate scene in episode 2 was something I saw from a mile away even in Episode 1, it still didn't diminish it's impact. It still gave me goosebumps and horrified me. At that moment, I felt just like Max, I really wanted to do something.
And the fact that I was able to do what I intended because of how well I knew that person - it actually feels like a person and not a character - and how that enabled me to do what I did, it made me really, really happy!
And the reason for that is because the characters are very well written, they actually feel like real people. The art style, the visuals, the soundtrack, the characters, the story, the places and etc, everything in Life is Strange is so beautiful and I just can't wait to play Episodes 3-5.

Guidance on building real-world HTML and JavaScript appsJavaScript, Reading By Dave Ward. Posted September 19, 2011
Over the past several months, I've been participating as an adviser to an interesting Microsoft patterns & practices effort named Project Silk. I don't publish posts here about every project I'm tangentially involved in, but I think Project Silk is worth a look if you're building modern, JavaScript-heavy web applications.
The project itself is comprised of a complete reference application and an extensive set of documentation describing how the app works and the process behind the design decisions that the team made along the way. Think of it as the NerdDinner sample (and accompanying book chatper), but focused almost entirely on client-side development rather than the server-side MVC component.
One of the most valuable aspects of the project is that it takes aim at the almost intractable topic of building large, maintainable JavaScript applications. You can see how seriously they took that goal by the time you get to just the second paragraph of the project summary:

Love This Gorgeous Flower Die Set
I am so enjoying this die set. The flowers created with it are just beautiful both in shape and the added touches of embossing detail. I love the way the larger petals have two parts & can be bent different ways to add dimension. I did have a problem with paper sticking in the smallest flower die however, I still get a great cut with the paper remaining in the die and am using wax paper between the die & card stock now. The wax paper is quite pretty also so may color with alcohol inks and use also. I did not subtract from the rating for this issue because I really do love the die and have used it quite a lot with beautiful results.

United States Automotive Industry and Porter's Five Forces Model
United States Automotive Industry and Porter's Five Forces Model
The purpose of this report is to analyze and discuss the automotive industry of the United States in the light of Five Forces of Competition presented by Michael Porter. The report starts with an in-depth introduction to the U.S. automotive industry; including its profile, present structure, major participants, evolution, and future outlook. The main body of the report discusses the competition present in the U.S. automobile industry from five different perspectives. The manufacturers in the U.S. automobile industry face a dual competition from the local and international competitors and from the substitute transportation mediums. The entry of new competitors in the industry is also a big threat for these manufacturers.
In the U.S. automobile industry, the customers make their purchase decisions according to certain preferences; including price, quality, performance, brand, and design of the automobiles (Morton, Silva-Risso, & Zettelmeyer, 2011). These preferences define the strength of their bargaining power in the industry. The suppliers, on the other hand, have to keep their prices at lower levels in order to compete with the local and international suppliers. The analysis of these five forces gives a true snapshot of the U.S. automotive industry to the investors and key stakeholders (Porter, 1998).
Introduction to the Auto Industry
a) Industry Definition:
Automobile industry consists of companies that design, manufacture, promote, and sell motor vehicles. The major products of automobile industry include cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. It is among the world's largest industries by revenues and size of the markets. Due to a large number of manufacturers, high level of competition and an intractable race towards competitiveness, this industry has never seen a monopolistic influence by a single manufacturer (Morton, Silva-Risso, & Zettelmeyer, 2011). China, United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and India are the largest automobile manufacturing countries while Toyota, General Motors, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Daimler AG, and Suzuki are the market leaders of the industry. These manufacturers have dominated the entire world market with their mechanically advanced and ingeniously designed motor vehicles. Automobile industry is highly labor and capital intensive which essentially require its participants to invest huge amounts and human capital to operate and grow in a profitable fashion.
b) Industry Profile:
The automobile industry of the United States evolved at the end of 19th Century and became the world's second largest industry after China in a few decades. The industry has experienced many changes during this period; began production with internal combustion engines and battery-powered electric engines and followed by steam engines and electric power engines, the U.S. automobile industry has always brought revolutionary changes in the automobile manufacturing sector of the World. The first gasoline-powered car, Buckeye Gasoline Buggy manufactured by John William Lambert in 1891 was the evolution of automobile manufacturing in the United States. It was followed by a series of automobile manufacturing by Elwood Haynes, Alexander Winton, Ransom E. Olds, and Oldsmobile Curved Dash. Keeping in view the rapidly growing automobile industry in the country, the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916 allocated a huge amount for building roads and improving transportation infrastructure (Bigelow & Argyres, 2008).
c) Industry Structure:
At present, the U.S. automobile industry is recognized by its massive production and size of the domestic market. There are hundreds of manufacturers in the country that are producing highly modernized automobiles and meeting the demands of the domestic and international customers. The big three U.S. automobile manufacturers are General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford. These three manufacturers are sharing the major automobile production in the United States with some renowned multinational brands including Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai-Kia, Subaru, and Daimler (Vlasic, 2011). In addition to the motor vehicle manufacturers, the U.S. automobile industry consists of a large number of auto parts suppliers that supply these parts to the local manufacturers and consumers as well as make heavy exports to all the corners of the world.
d) Future Outlook:
Keeping in view the rapid technological and mechanical advancements in the automobile manufacturing processes, it can be projected that the U.S. auto industry will always show a growing trend in the future. The market leaders will keep on introducing astonishing features in the new models of their cars in order to compete with their top rivals as well as throw out the new entrants from the industry. On the other hand, the new entrants will keep struggling hard to penetrate in the United States market and snatch the customers from the existing competitors. The environmental forces which have always been impacting the business operations and profitability of automobile manufacturers will become more severe with the passage of time. The fuel and raw material prices, governmental laws and regulations, inflationary pressures, consumer preferences, and other important environmental forces will always pose critical issues and challenges to this industry (Stonehouse & Snowdon, 2007).
Michael Porter's Five Forces Model for the U.S. Automobile Industry
Michael Porter presented a framework of five forces which can be used to analyze the current level of competition and future outlook of an industry from five different angles. These five forces are; threat from the new entrants, rivalry among the existing competitors, threat from the substitute products, bargaining power of buyers, and bargaining power of suppliers (Porter, 1998). The following section is dedicated to discuss these five forces for the automobile industry of the United States.
1. Threat from the new entrants:
The entry of new businesses in an industry is always a big threat for existing competitors. These new entrants try to penetrate in the industry when they find its markets attractive for their business and anticipate a sustainable future in this industry. These entrants pose big challenges for the existing businesses in maintaining their profit margins, market share, and customer base (Phadtare, 2011). The threat from new entrants is even more critical when these entrants have an established brand image in the same industry of some other countries. However, barriers to entry in a particular industry are the major forces which can restrict new entrants from targeting its markets.
The automobile industry of the United States is quite mature where there is a very low potential for new entrants to emerge and grow in the presence of a large number of existing competitors. The biggest reason for this low threat of new entrants is the high business expansion, manufacturing, and operational costs in the international markets. History is evident that a large number of automobile manufacturers failed in United States industry because they were unable to achieve the economies of scale or even failed to get back their initial investments. It is quite hard for new businesses to emerge their new car brands in a mature industry where a large number of well-established brands have been operating for a long period of time (Porter, 1998).
A new brand is difficult to be established in the U.S. automobile industry due to the perceived brand image of car brands by the customers. United States is the industry of some renowned world market leaders, e.g. Chrysler, Ford, Toyota, General Motors, Honda, Dodge, Jeep, GMC, etc. These automobile giants give a strong competition to new car brands. The access to distribution channels in the U.S. automobile industry is also difficult for the new entrants. It is due to strategic alliances and long-term contracts of the well-established brands with all the major distributors in the country which restrict them from making business relationships with new brands.
Another barrier to entry for new businesses in the U.S. automobile industry is high fuel prices and post-purchase maintenance costs which are borne by customers. These two costs also impact the purchase decision of customers when they have to make choice between a well-recognized brand and a new brand. It is a common perception that good brands make more fuel efficient and reliable automobiles which save high costs of repairing and maintenance in the future. Due to these factors, customers generally hesitate to purchase automobiles which are manufactured by new brands. Moreover, legislation and regulatory policies of the U.S. government are very strict for automobile industry. The safety and environmental laws, emission, EPA, labor laws, and other policies and regulations are mandatory to be followed by all the participants of this industry in order to operate without legal consequences. For the top industry rivals, technology and innovative processes are the strongest tools by which they can compete with the new entrants and restrict them from snatching their potential customers. On the other hand, the new entrants have a strong tool of low pricing strategies which can help them attract customers towards their new brands.
2. Rivalry among the existing competitors:
The competition among existing businesses shows the actual snapshot of any industry. The prices levels, quality and features of the products, customer perception, market share and future outlook of the industry; all types of analysis…[continue]

4). 2.4 Effects of Environment: Concerns related to carbon emission were heightened in mid-2000s and in 2007 Al-Gore in his book 'An inconvenient Truth' condemned the big three saying "They keep trying to sell large, inefficient gas-guzzlers even though fewer and fewer people are buying them." In comparison to other developed countries in Europe and Asia, American standard for distance covered in one U.S. gallon was only 25 mpg (miles per gallon).
For this reason, they have stepped out to pursue alternatives, especially foreign cars. On the contrary, as consumers become price oriented, they have minimal purchasing power because they are not buyers of large volume automobiles (Porter, 1985). 3.3 Threat of New Entrants It is extremely difficult for new entrants penetrate the auto industry because of the existing high level of brand loyalty. Nevertheless, the few popular overseas firms and entered the

JOHN F. WINSLOW, PLAINTIFF,v.FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
This case, originally assigned to the late Judge John Garrett Penn, was referred to me for all purposes on January 28, 2008. The electronic docket contained only one prior entry*fn1 reflecting an event that occurred seventeen years ago, so the parties were ordered to show cause why this case should not be closed. Minute Order (3/26/08). The parties informed the Court that there remains an unresolved motion filed by the plaintiff. Motion to Enforce Judgment ("Motion"), attached to Notice of Filing in Response to Show Cause Order [#6] ("Pl. Resp.") as Exhibit 1. That Motion is discussed below.
I. Background
A. The Complaint
John F. Winslow brought this action in 1984 pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. Mr. Winslow was hired as an attorney with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in 1979, and was terminated in 1984. He claimed that his termination was unjustified and was the result of age discrimination. Winslow v. F.E.R.C., No. 84-cv-1316, 1987 WL 11082, at *1-4 (D.D.C. May 8, 1987).
B. The Bench Trial and Relief
A bench trial was held and Judge Penn found for Mr. Winslow. An order was issued on February 27, 1987, requiring FERC to reinstate Mr. Winslow, to reimburse him "for all back pay and other benefits . . . retroactive to February 29, 1984," and to pay him "the costs of maintaining and bringing this action, including reasonable attorney's fees." Order, attached to Defendants' Response to Order to Show Cause Why Case Should Not Be Closed [#7] ("Def. Resp.") as Exhibit 2 ("1987 Order"). A memorandum opinion that included findings of fact was issued on May 8, 1987. Winslow, 1987 WL 11082, at *11 ("1987 Opinion") ("[Mr. Winslow] will be awarded the full relief he has requested."). The government took an appeal which it later dismissed. Def. Resp. at 6.
The parties later filed a joint stipulation seeking the issuance of a proposed order outlining the relief to be awarded Mr. Winslow; Judge Penn signed that proposed order on May 17, 1988. Order, attached to Def. Resp. as Exhibit 3 ("1988 Order"). The 1988 Order is extremely detailed and calls for, inter alia, $110,879.36 to be paid to Mr. Winslow in back pay (after various withholdings). Id. at 2-4. There is no mention of interest in the 1987 Order, the 1987 Opinion, or the 1988 Order.
Mr. Winslow received payment in August 1988, but that payment did not include interest. See Reply to Defendant's Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion to Enforce Judgment ("Reply") at 5, attached to Pl. Resp. as Exhibit 3. His counsel sent a letter to the General Accounting Office ("GAO") on September 26, 1988, demanding that Mr. Winslow be paid interest on his back pay award. Id. This demand was denied by GAO in a letter dated March 5, 1990. Id.
C. The Motion to Enforce Judgment
On January 16, 1991, Mr. Winslow filed a motion seeking payment of interest on the back pay that had been owed and, in consequence, the interest on that unpaid obligation. Motion to Enforce Judgment ("Motion"), attached to Pl. Resp. as Exhibit 1. Briefing on the Motion was complete on May 3, 1991. On December 15, 2005, counsel for Mr. Winslow sent a letter*fn2 to Judge Penn (and a copy to opposing counsel) seeking resolution of the Motion. See Letter from David H. Shapiro to Hon. John Garrett Penn, attached to Pl. Resp.
II. Discussion
Mr. Winslow argues that he is owed interest on his award pursuant to an amendment to the Back Pay Act, which provides that certain awards of back pay "shall be payable with interest." Pub. L. No. 100-202*fn3 (enacted Dec. 22, 1987, codified at 5 U.S.C. § 5596(b)(2)) (the "Amendment"). There is no reference to interest in the 1987 Order, the 1987 Opinion, or the 1988 Order (which was drafted by the parties), but Mr. Winslow argues that no reference is necessary because the Amendment requires that his award of back pay be read to include prejudgment interest. Def. Resp. at 4. He therefore seeks enforcement of the judgment pursuant to Rules 69 and 70 of the Federal Rules of Rules of Civil Procedure. Reply at 4-5.
The Supreme Court has unanimously held, however, that when a party seeks prejudgment interest*fn4 after a judgment has been issued, it does so pursuant to Rule 59(e) (motion to alter or amend a judgment).*fn5 Osterneck v. Ernst & Whinney, 489 U.S. 169, 176-77 (1989). This is, in part, to further the policies underlying the finality requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and to avoid piecemeal appellate review of judgments. Id. at 173, 177. Motions pursuant to Rule 59(e) "must be filed no later than 10 days after the entry of the judgment." Id. Mr. Winslow's Motion was filed two and a half years after the 1988 Order and therefore must be denied as untimely.
