Published: June 18, 2007 at 3:50 AMMy friend rides with her eyes shut and then tells me how much fun the ride was. How much fun can it be if you can't see everything whizzing by? Best part of Kraken, (haven't done Griffon or Sheikra yet) was eyes open, front row, shoes off, waving arms & legs in the air. Might have looked funny, but it was FUN!!!
Published: June 18, 2007 at 5:52 AMI've always hated roller coasters as a child and I'm just not getting used to them as an adult.
Published: June 18, 2007 at 6:01 AMOnce or twice, out of curiosity I've rode with my eyes closed part of the time. It made the ride meaningless--I might as well have been sitting down somewhere pretending to ride. For me, even on a ride in the dark like Space Mountain there's still a lot to see. One semi-recent experience of mine: the exquisite awesomeness of the in-ride view you get on Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm (and you don't have to sit in front because everything to see is below you), how can you not be wowed by that?
Published: June 18, 2007 at 1:51 PMMy answer is yes. Open on the way up, sometimes closed on the way down :)
Published: June 18, 2007 at 2:31 PMNothing better than the sight of Lake Erie and the surroundings of Cedar Point as you crest the top of a 400+ foot hill.
Published: June 18, 2007 at 2:35 PMIf you close your eyes in the final brake run of Kumba, you'll get vertigo (and very likely hurl).
Published: June 18, 2007 at 3:23 PMI always keep my eyes open, it adds to the thrill of the ride to see things fly by. I admit that on my first ride I closed my eyes on Sheikra down the big hill, but open the rest of the ride. I always keep my eyes open now, whats the point of closing them?
Published: June 18, 2007 at 6:55 PMOpen unless I'm getting bored, then to spice it up I'll try it with them shut. ;)
Published: June 18, 2007 at 8:45 PMI started out w/my eyes closed due to me being afraid of heights but I've been slowly keeping my eyes open. Last yr on BMTR I kept my eyes open for the first time on a steel coaster & it was awesome! I was very proud of myself! lol. I have trouble w/faster coasters like Alpinegeist & Desperado because I'm afraid the breeze will somehow knock my contacts out, lol. Silly maybe but I always feel that might happen. There's some I still close my eyes though like Ninja at SFOG or just tall ones like Ninja, or Anaconda, Viper, etc. (I didn't ride Anaconda but it's tall like the others so I'm definitly assuming that I'll keep my eyes closed at least on the lift, probably not the rest of the way but still get heebie jeebies on the lifts.) I'm a wuss, lol.
Published: June 18, 2007 at 10:39 PMAs a wee little coaster...hater? Yes, I used to despise roller coasters. When I was younger, I rode EVERY ride with my eyes scrunched thoroughly shut.
Nowadays, if I even BLINK, I curse myself endlessly when I get off. My eyes better be STREAMING or I failed that ride and, le sigh, must simply go again. ^_^
Eyes open = good.
Eyes closed = boooo.
Published: June 18, 2007 at 10:41 PMI have always kept my eyes open. It never really occurred to me to close them. In fact I always thought it would be much scarier to close them then open them.
Recently I went to Europa Park over in Germany and they have an Ok coaster with some awesome airtime and a few good drops. I decided that this time I would lift my hands and feet, and close my eyes through the whole ride.
I found what some of you found... closing my eyes took most (all) of the thrill away from an otherwise great ride! You could not tell how high you were... how far you were falling... sure it was surprising to turn into a sharp bank... but when you cannot brace for them they end up hurting your neck more than anything else.
It is a bit scarier to keep your eyes open... but closing them robs you of any thrill you might have otherwise felt.
Published: June 20, 2007 at 6:17 PMAlways open, EXCEPT for one moment on one coaster. On Goliath at Magic Mountain, I always close my eyes during the Helix later in the ride where people are known to grayout. I know it happens to me, but I don't want to see it happening, so I close my eyes on that part.

Men, in hunter-gather times, used to leave their women and children behind in order to head out together on extended hunting trips, driven by the need to survive. During these journeys, men would find themselves in pristine, perilous wilderness where they would depend on one another and their own sharpened senses, to outwit potential predators.
We are taking relaxation more and more seriously in our work as guides and entrepreneurs. Not just as a way of letting go at the end of the day, or as leisure or luxury, but as a guiding beacon to life. We see relaxation as a fuel inside us; a conduit for relationships; as DNA to how we might live and work.
I consider my relationship with nature as a long and unfolding conversation, like learning a language that I can never master. And this conversation is never dull. Like most discourses, it only improves with time and age, to reach a point where a constant connection evolves and grows, with almost daily realisations.
What do you think of when you read the word 'Now'? Perhaps you can hear the distant warbling of Elvis Presley passionately proclaiming 'It's Now or Never'? The constant advertiser's dream slogan that piles on the pressure to 'Buy it Now'? Better still, you engage with your experience and senses right now to focus your attention on the present moment?
The anthropologist Rapport, who wrote extensively on ritual, noted that masks do not always disguise, they often transform and actually display identity. They "coordinate the iconicity, the signs of identity in any particular cultural context." Rather than conceal, they become an agent of revelation.
Festivals might not quite lead to a dancing plague, but there is a sense that anything can happen. Laura recalled the first year of Wilderness festival: "We ended up teaching hundreds of people the conga, on stage with a bunch of naked people. That has to be a professional first! But this is what we love about Wilderness, you never really know where the experience will take you."
What is real success, why is happiness more elusive than ever for so many, and why are happiness and success so difficult to get together? Stress is becoming the number one health killer in our modern world. What do we need to do to make some positive changes so we can get successful and be happy? How can we manage the stress we're all under?
Simply put, London is rubbish at food markets. Yes, we have Borough Market (inexplicably only open three days a week) and we have some very decent farmers' markets in suburban car parks, but there is nowhere in the capital that comes even close to the glorious Rialto Market in Venice or the sumptuous San Miguel Market in Madrid or the vibrant Cours Saleya Flower market in Nice.
"Our restaurants do take reservations; in fact you can book more often than not" (of the five restaurants we operate, 4/5 take lunch bookings and you can book dinner at 2/5). I usually find that people don't want to hear that answer. What they really want to know is why they can't reserve a table for six on Friday night for Alice's birthday. It's a fair question.

All 1975 and later Novas are equipped with an underfloor catalytic converter. This mufflerlike appearing device is attached to the exhaust pipe(s) coming from the exhaust manifold(s). The converter housing is of a three-layer construction. The outer layer is an aluminized steel cover with a ceramic felt insulating blanket beneath. The main structure (converter shell) is below the blanket and is made of stainless steel as are the exhaust pipes forward of the converter.
Inside the housing are pellets which contain the catalyst agent. The pellets are made of a ceramic material and are impregnated with platinum and palladium. These "noble" metals contain the catalyst agent. The total amount of catalyst agent in the converter is 0.05 Troy ounces (0.36 grams).
The catalyst agent remains effective in converting exhaust gases (hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide) into carbon dioxide and water only as long as it is exposed to the gases. It is for this reason that unleaded fuel only must be used. Lead in leaded fuel is not consumed in the combustion process and enters the converter where it attaches itself to the ceramic pellets. When the catalyst agent becomes coated, the converter becomes useless for emission control. If necessary, the catalyst in a converter can be replaced.

Movie Review: Sexxxotica: Amazonian Dreams
Summary- Come to Brazil, a place where the women and weather are hot, but the sex is even hotter!
The skin is what you notice first. That dark, cinnamon colored skin that has all of the appeal in the world. In relation to that, when you mention the country of Brazil, only two things come to mind, soccer (futbol) and women. But it is really the women that we are here to talk about. Imagine if you will the sandy beaches, the suffocating heat, and enough Amazonian ass to satisfy you for life, all waiting for the rich foreign tourists to come down and spend their money. This is a vacation where all of your dreams and fantasies come true, where satisfaction is guaranteed. There is nothing that even comes close to a Brazilian woman when she is in heat, and also why Sexxxotica: Amazonian Dreams is such a damn good film- it makes you feel like you are going native.
Pierre Woodman is the director of this film, and if you have seen any of his adult films in the past, then you know what to expect. There will be beautiful women that are willing to fulfill any desire that Pierre asks, and they will do it with gusto. Pierre has had a lot of experience around the world, and that experience allows him the contacts to find the best locations (desolate beaches) and pornstars (dark skinned beauties).
The beauty of this film is in the set up of scenes, designed to be realistic possibilities of what could actually happen to you while on vacation. Opening the film, a couple finds a sandy alcove which allows them some privacy. Now despite the romantic nature of the setting, there is still plenty of raunchy sex. Roxy Panther drops to her knees and takes a cock so deep in her throat that her tonsils could have fallen out. As a bonus, throughout the entire scene a blonde with huge tits fucks herself with a cucumber as she watches the couples coupling. And after some sandy maneuvering that leaves the two lovers covered, an explosive anal scene culminates the activities. Now doesn't that sound nice!
The best portion of the movie comes inevitably at the end. While at a tiny beach bungalow, two friends reunite and bring their girlfriends. These smoking hot bitches waste no time instigating a memorable foursome that includes a great double-penetration moment, which in turn leads to a cum bath for both of the girls. The girls really make the scene as their native tans and strong, fit bodies look so good taking turns getting fucked. It is no wonder why Brazil is such a popular vacation destination.
Sexxxotica: Amazonian Dreams is a film that delivers both the hot women and the sizzling sex scenes. Check out this movie as well as anything else from Woodman Entertainment; they will all have everything that you are looking for when it comes to the adult film market.

Living the Americana Dream – Regina Feoktistova soaks up the sun in classic Americana looks for the latest issue of How to Spend It Magazine. Captured by Andrew Yee (Atelier Management) with styling by Damian Foxe, Regina dons a wardrobe of spring pieces from the likes of Prada, Proenza Schouler, Erdem and Louis Vuitton in the California desert. / Hair by Ian James, Makeup by Michelle Mungcal
The styling's so interesting and fresh, the location doesn't even feel like the tired old hotel in the desert theme. Or maybe's it's that Regina is perfect for the role, too.
this is the exact same set for the Daria Werbowy with that actor for vogue, come on ! do they really think that no one would notice it ?
Ok first of all what the he'll is wrong with using sets over, different photographer, stylist etc So Gerardo if YOU look carefully the lighting teamed with the styling compliments the colors in the clothes very subliminal and it catches your eye almost as you are looking away!!!! Wow well done on all counts curious what time of day is it???
Really beautiful styling. Love this "pin-up-yet-50's-housewife-look". It's really chic yet not so over-done!
I can literally feel the heat through the photos!
why on EARTH would you put her in a knee length skirt and then proceed to CUT OFF her legs.

The Luxemburgian War of Succession took place during the years 1660-64. France and its allies Venice, Bavaria, Switzerland and Nassau made claims for Luxemburgian territories, although they were highly doubtful.
But with the absolutist François IV as French king, things like this didn't matter. Although Luxemburg had (most of) the HRE on its side, they were defeated. Vorarlberg became a Swiss canton, South Tyrol went to Venice, the rest of Tyrol to Bavaria; Nassau got a part of Luxemburg proper, the rest (including Lorraine) became French.
The rightful heir, Karl X (VII in Tyrol) only received Brabant-Limburg. "The old sting in France's side", as François IV used to say, was now removed.

Redd counting is an integral part of most Fishery Officers duties. The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, North West Region in England in liaison with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E. A sixth class (F) was used where the density per Ion value was 0.00. This grading system was calculated at two levels of detail. Grades for salmon and sea trout were produced for each individual catchment and also on an Area-wide level. Maps were produced using a range of colours to represent the grade for each reach. These maps provide a highly useful overview of the status of salmonid spawning for each catchment over individual years and highlight the key salmon and sea trout spawning areas in each catchment. These maps and the associated summary data should now provide Flood Defence and Fisheries staff with a fairly detailed overview of the status of spawning in any location within the. main salmonid catchments in Central Area. Although these maps are very useful they should only be used as a guide. The current practice of consulting with the local Fishery Officer should be continued to ensure that expert local knowledge is taken into account.

|RE: Objects using thread on Start/Stop of Tomcat
|Thu, 08 Apr 2004 12:53:37 GMT
Hi, It's funny that you wrote your own thread manager and have to ask this question. No, tomcat cannot destroy all your threads and objects referred to from these threads. Tomcat can only destroy daemon threads for you. You need to take care of the rest by yourself. A ServletContextListener's contextDestroyed method is an excellent place to do this: shut down your thread manager and all your threads, otherwise tomcat's JVM process will not die.

(The Hosting News) – AdamsNames Limited, since 1999 the official administrator for the top level domains (TLDs) .TC, .VG and .GD, has partnered with the KSregistry GmbH to operate these TLDs. AdamsNames will use KSregistry as basic, technical framework for domain registration and management. The German based provider KSregistry GmbH offers a customized technical registry operation and comprehensive tools to facilitate registrations at registry, registrar and reseller levels. KSregistry is a fully-owned subsidiary of the international domain registrar Key-Systems GmbH. Supported by KSregistry GmbH, AdamsNames Limited launched the operation of the country-code top level domains (ccTLDs) .TC, .VG and .GD on August 13, 2012.
St. Ingbert, 12-08-23. After taking over the operation of .DM (Dominica) in June 2012, KSregistry now is the technical backbone for three further ccTLDs, namely .TC, .VG and .GD.
'AdamsNames has decided for a registry solution tailored to its needs and customers' wishes by choosing KSregistry as technical basis for its ccTLDs. The KSregistry technique provides a stable, state-of-the art infrastructure for domain registration and management', states Alexander Siffrin, CEO of KSregistry GmbH. "Many companies are offering TLD management services. With KSregistry we found a team with experience and a stable system", adds Carsten Pauli, Director of AdamsNames Limited.
The registry solution of KSregistry GmbH offers features and functions for the successful technical operation of a registry. Due to the modular character of KSregistry's services, the customer-specific solution can be expanded and modified according to changing needs at all times. KSregistry is based on a TIER III architecture which guarantees maximum security for all services. By using the data center of SKYWAY, a 100 per cent Key-Systems subsidiary, fast reaction times and full process control are secured.

OpenOffice.org is a great Microsoft Office alternative but people say that it lacks some things that would really make it great. Maybe a bunch of templates or some clip art would help sway your mind into the world of open source software?
That's exactly why someone created OpenOffice.org Premium and now you can benefit from it. There is more than 2,800 clip art, a bunch of templates, 90 fonts, and more in the download package. This isn't created by the official OpenOffice.org team but it is based off of their code.
They have multiple languages available but you can download the English Windows version here. Linux users haven't been forgotten because they have several different install options available.

Alaska Medicare Insurance Plans
Medicare is a federally sponsored health insurance program available to those over the age of 65, as well as to individuals who have certain disabilities. At the state level, however, there exist specific organizations that help beneficiaries better understand the Medicare process, and Medicare recipients may even qualify to receive state subsidies, depending on their circumstances. Consider the following information if you are interested in obtaining Medicare coverage in the state of Alaska.
Medicare beneficiaries in Alaska have different plan options to choose from, you may want to compare Alaska Medicare insurance plans to find a plan that offers the coverage you need. Plan availability and cost may vary depending on where you live in Alaska and which companies offer those plans, but you might have one or more of the following options:
- Medicare Parts A and Part B: If you are age 65 or older, or younger with a qualifying disability, or you have ESRD, then you are eligible to enroll in Medicare Parts A and B in Alaska, which covers the cost of medical and hospital care.
- Alaska Medicare Advantage Plans: These plans cover at least the same benefits as Medicare Parts A and B, with the option for additional benefits, such as prescription drug coverage or vision care.
- Alaska Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D): Part D plans help with the cost of your prescription drug coverage and can be paired with Medicare Parts A and B coverage.
- Alaska Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans: These pay for costs, such as plan premiums and deductibles, that are not covered by Medicare Parts A and B.
Alaska Medicare Savings Programs
*The following data is from 2017 and is based on federal amounts. If your income and resources are slightly higher, you should still apply, you may qualify for benefits even if your income is higher than the limits listed.*
- *Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMBs): The state pays all Medicare Part B premiums and Part A and Part B co-payments and deductibles for individuals with a monthly income under $1,257 and couples with a combined income under $1,689 per month.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Bears coach Lovie Smith officially ruled out left tackle Chris Williams (hamstring) and safety Major Wright (hamstring) for Monday night's showdown with the Green Bay Packers.
The duo remained sidelined with injuries Saturday as the Bears conducted a two-hour walk-through in preparation for Monday night. In other injury news, linebacker Lance Briggs returned to work at full capacity after resting a sore ankle on Thursday and taking part Friday on a limited basis.
With Williams out, Frank Omiyale will take over as the starting left tackle. Smith expressed confidence earlier in the week about Omiyale's capabilities as a fill in.
Wright, meanwhile, should be out indefinitely. In fact, a month would be an optimistic prognosis for the rookie safety, who severely strained a hamstring in the club's win over the Cowboys.
The Bears also listed defensive end Israel Idonije (foot) and Brian Iwuh (quadriceps) on the injury report earlier this week, but the two are probable for Monday night's contest.
Michael C. Wright covers the Bears for ESPNChicago.com and ESPN 1000.

This summer I was awarded the opportunity to go on the Citizenship Washington Focus trip. It is a 4-H conference in DC that teaches the 4-H youth of our nation about leadership and what it takes to be a good leader. My trip to DC taught me about how the six character counts pillars build strong citizens who have led our country throughout history.
When I look to what we did all week and all of the places we went, I can see that this trip was to build character and to show us that some of our nations great leaders were of good character as well. The first day we were in DC we went to many different memorials on a tour. My favorite was the Lincoln memorial. It was a memorial not only to Abraham Lincoln, but to the idea of trustworthiness. We walked up the stairs to the memorial and saw the words, "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever" inscribed above Lincoln, whose loyalty to the United States held the nation together during the Civil War. When he emancipated the slaves, he demonstrated that he had the courage to do the right thing. Abraham Lincoln was loyal and courageous, both characteristics of trustworthiness.
The second day of the trip we went to the FDR memorial, but it was really a memorial more for responsibility. Throughout the memorial we saw how much responsibility FDR had to have had to get our country through the great depression and World War II. The memorial is separated into terms of presidency and each term had a different waterfall. The waterfalls represent the state of the nation whether we were in war, or the depression. WWII is represented by a violent waterfall with water going every which way. "More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars" was the quote alongside the water, proving that FDR was there to fulfill a duty, a responsibility he had to our country.
Our delegation then walked along the Potomac River to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, a memorial to fairness. The memorial itself looks like a mountain with the center sliced out and pulled forward. The centerpiece of the memorial is the "Stone of Hope", a 30-foot statue of Dr. King, gazing into the horizon and concentrating on the future and hope for humanity. Carved into one side of the memorial are the words, "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Martin Luther King Jr. was an advocate of fairness, spearheading the civil rights movement. He had a dream of what America could, and should be: for everyone to be treated equally no matter what they look like or what they believe in. His fight to end discrimination made him a person of true character. This memorial taught us all that we need to stand up for fairness.
Citizenship was one of the main themes of the trip. The representatives from the South Dakota delegation talked about what it means to be a good citizen on the way to the capital. Our bus discussed and came to the conclusion that citizenship is the direct participation in our government. This dynamic of citizenship was put into action when we visited Capital Hill. When we met with our senators Johnson and Thune and Representative Noem, I was selected to speak on behalf of South Dakota's delegation. We talked about current issues and asked them questions about what they are doing to help our communities and the country as a whole. It was a step in seeing what citizenship, the direct participation in government, is all about. The next day we had a mock congressional session with the five other state delegations at the conference. Everyone got to experience citizenship through writing bills and debating their merits to pursue the best result for our communities.
Arlington National Cemetery was just one of my favorites along the way. The act of remembrance epitomizes the character counts trait of caring for those who put their lives on the line for the sake of our country. While we were there, we witnessed the changing of the guard who protects the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The cemetery itself holds 300,000 veterans on its 624 acres. The cemetery is split up into different sections by the war fought at the time. Every day there are about twenty-five to thirty new burials. To be caring is to be kind, be compassionate and express gratitude. Arlington National Cemetery is a way of expressing gratitude to every fallen soldier, and a way to remember them, and the wars they fought, for years to come.
One of the last stops of our DC trip was the Holocaust Museum. This museum is a picture of the effects of a society that lost respect. As we entered we each selected an identification card. While in the museum we were someone who suffered the holocaust. I was Masza Tenenbaum. After each floor we would read a new page in the ID card. At the end of the tour, I found out that the girl on my ID card died at the end when her family was shipped off to a termination camp. We learned what a lack of respect can do to a society, and the importance of respecting everyone. Being considerate, dealing peacefully with a disagreement, and doing what you would want others to do to you were all components that were missing with the tragedy of the holocaust.
To be a good leader you have to possess all of the different pillars of character. Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Fairness, Citizenship, Respect and Caring--all are traits you need to be a good citizen. While in Washington DC we got the opportunity to see monuments dedicated to people of good character. This trip showed me what it took to be a person of good character, and inspired me to be someone who possesses all the traits to make a difference in my community, my country, and my world.
CHARACTER COUNTS! Quote: "To dream what is possible and to put oneself in service of that dream is the formula for a life well lived." - Peter Lorimer Benson, Ph. D.
Nov. 4 – 4-H Recognition Event, 2 pm

Move over New York City, there's a new "Central Park" in town. At a work session prior to a called meeting on July 24, the Covington City Council gave tentative approval to officially naming what has been known as "Parker's Pasture" as "Central Park."

Putin and the International Olympic Committee are spending late nights chatting on the phone about the design for the gold medal at the upcoming Sochi Hate Olympics. The talk on the street about their girl talk is that this is among the finalists. And if you think I mean some flattened metal version of this person would be stamped onto some flattened metal piece of something that's not a person, you are wrong. Most people who aren't the dictator of Russia are wrong, of course. No, this guy (and perverts like him) would be the actual metal.
Now as for the tradition of posing with one's recently won medal while mock biting it, the athletes will need to be careful. Because this medal is into that and is known to spontaneously ejaculate, especially when exposed in front of a global audience. Aren't the Olympics fun?

It's happening. Almost two years since Google and Levi Strauss announced the Project Jacquard platform, we now have more details for the connected clothing that essentially turns what you wear into the equivalent of the touchscreen on your smartphone or smartwatch.
The first garment in the Jacquard range will be the Levi's Commuter Trucker Jacket, with a price and tentative release date for the clothing emerging at SXSW 2017.
So how does Google and Levi's smart clothing work and why will cycling commuters want to wear it? Here's everything we know about Project Jacquard so far.
Project Jacquard: How it works
The smart clothing kit we've seen so far from the likes of Athos, OMSignal and Hexoskin has largely focused on integrating sensors into often quite compressed garments in order to relay data wirelessly to a smartphone. That could involve information on heart rate, motion or breathing rate. In most of these cases, they require a small data box that clips onto the clothing to complete the connected package.
With Jacquard, Google and Levi's has produced a conductive yarn that combine thin metallic alloys with yarns that you typically find on clothing. So cotton, polyesters or even silk.
In the case of the Commuter Jacket, this interactive yarn has been used to build touch and gesture sensitive areas on the sleeve and sensor grids can be created for even larger interactive surfaces. This allows designers to take advantage of LEDs, haptic and other outputs to provide feedback for the user.
Smart clothing highlights
- Smart clothing: The biggest benefitsWhy the smart shirt on your back could be greater than the tracker on your wrist
- The best smart clothingSmart fabrics and garments on sale now or hitting the shops soon
- Smart clothing is still holding out for a hero to take it mainstreamAnd it looks like that one big launch won't happen until next year...
The fibres are linked to a detachable smart tag which sits on the cuff and provides connectivity to your smartphone. This can be removed to plug straight into a USB port to charge it up, while Google claims the flexible cuff should be able to fit most sized jackets.
Project Jacquard: Features
(Skip to 7.21 in the video above to see the latest on Project Jacquard)
Aimed at cyclists, this smart jean jacket will allow users to control their mobile experience and connect to a variety of services, such as music or maps, directly from the jacket sleeve. In theory, it means you won't have to worry about pulling your phone from your pocket.
You'll be able to dismiss phone calls by swiping over the sleeve, control messages, double tap to get directions, swipe up to see nearby places and swipe down to change music playing from your phone. It'll work with Google Maps, Google Play and third party services like Spotify and Strava.
The Jacquard API will also be released to developers opening up the possibility of more apps taking advantage of the built-in tech. This means they could further embrace audio, gesture and haptic features and even add activity tracking abilities.
Project Jacquard: The jacket
While it's great to have this discreet layer of interaction, there's no point if it's not built into something you'd actually want to wear. The decision to partner with Levi's is a smart one for a number of reasons. It's an iconic brand, but there's also the fact that this is a company renowned for making sturdy, robust denim fabric for years.
The design is based on a classic trench coat with the tech built into the cuff and the good news is that you can wash the jacket as well, which will no doubt get a little sweaty on the commute. Just remember to remove the detachable tag before you throw it into the machine.
Levi's has also put a lot of thought on how to make it more cycle friendly, as well. For instance, the back of the jacket is longer than the front so you're not showing off too much when riding. It will accommodate a full range of arm movement and the cuffs are deliberately tighter around the wrists.
Project Jacquard: Price and release date
So when will you be able to whip on the Commuter Jacket? Well, Google initially indicated it would land this Spring, though that estimation was pushed back to Fall at SXSW 2017.
Also announced at the Austin event was pricing for the jacket, with Google noting the connected garment will set you back around $350. While this is by no means a light price tag, it's also not completely wild considering this is a first iteration from two big hitters.
Project Jacquard: What's next?
It won't just be denim jackets that will get the Jacquard treatment. Google has already revealed that it has its sights set on adding ranges for athletics, business and enterprise to spread that connected clothing love. Just when this ecosystem begins to take shape, though, remains to be seen.
Would you buy the Project Jacquard smart jacket? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Assassins are hard to classify since they all usually have mobility and nuking potential so i want to propose this system
Stealth Assassins - Stealth Assassins rely on stealth to gain a tactical advantage. they may have great damage and mobility but their stealth is what they rely on the most without it they fall apart easily.
Pure Assassins - Pure assassins rely on their Mobility and Nuking Capabilities to gain a tactical advantage. these assassins usually require a good set-up to continue their onslaught. they are the assassins able to kill off a key player in the enemy's strategy and run away to either safety or their next target. they are usually the last to enter a fight and can escape when the situation calls for it.
Combat Assassins - Combat Assassins rely on their Utility, combos and timing to gain a tactical advantage. they may have great damage and mobility but they rely on either hitting their utility skills or dodging, enduring and healing back damage via using skills. they usually fall short or end up dying if they are not able to this.

Woodfield Mall and Simon today kicked off its 2016 Back to School season with a TV commercial and digital video campaign (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUHQVJCgtss), encouraging shoppers to 'find your style' while reflecting on their past first days of school and the outfits that were the height of fashion in the 80s and 90s.
The campaign will be amplified through social media using the hashtag #tbtbts (Throw Back Thursday Back to Simon), inviting people to share their most memorable back-to-school photos for a chance to win Simon gift cards and a $5,000 shopping spree.
A campaign at Simon centers, targeted at teens, will feature three seasonal trends inspired by 80s and 90s fashions - off-beat, modern utility and 90s nostalgia.
"Back-to-school shoppers spend more during this season than they do during Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day combined, so we want to make sure the experience is a pleasurable one that appeals to students and parents alike," said Heather Lloyd, marketing director at Woodfield Mall. "Our campaign celebrates the fashion trends of the past and today - the evolution of fashion and mixing the old with the new to 'find your style'."

Nomar's Exit Stirs Old Emotions in Boston
Nomar Garciaparra's best seasons were spent scorching the baseball all over Fenway Park and earning five All-Star game appearances for the Red Sox. But when he had a chance to extend his Boston career in 2004, he instead rejected a four-year, $60 million deal that led to his exit at the trade deadline. The Red Sox promptly followed his exile by ending The Curse. In stops with the Cubs, Dodgers and Athletics, Garciaparra never was the same hitter, so it was fitting that the shortstop signed a one-day contract Wednesday with Boston so he could retire with the Red Sox.
Although Garciaparra's departure from the Red Sox was acrimonious, the Boston Globe's Bob Ryan prefers to remember Garciaparra's on-field prowess. "Never saw anybody hit the ball that hard, that often. Nev-ah," Ryan writes. "Talkin' 'bout the young Nomar Garciaparra, the 1997-98-99-2000-01-02 Nomah of legend. That guy coulda/shoulda been convicted of cowhide abuse."

Underground Palace Uncovered
The unearthed artifacts from the Underground Palace of Leifeng Pagoda mainly include gilt silver artifacts, agate ornaments, coins, bronze mirrors, and Buddhist cultural artifacts. They include rare pieces such as the "Gilt Silver Container," "Gilt Silver Mat," "Gilt Bronze Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Preaching the Dharma," and "Jade Statue of Standing Boy of Good Fortune." Each of these rare pieces is exquisitely crafted, and definitely should not be missed.
The most anticipated piece showcased in this special exhibit is the famous Iron Relic Chest. It contains some of the most precious artifacts unearthed at the Underground Palace. In particular, Buddha's hair relics originally enshrined in Leifeng Pagoda was discovered in this very chest, making this indeed a treasure trove of history.
The opening in the sutra storage bricks is for preserving sutras. The diameter of the opening is 2.5 cm, and the depth is 10 cm. These bricks are rarely stamped with any inscriptions. Among the thousands of unearthed sutra storage bricks, this is the only piece found with the character "Tian," which means "sky" or "heaven," stamped atop the opening. This is a rare survival piece.
Five Dynasties
Length: 37 cm; Width: 18 cm; Thickness: 6 cm
Unearthed from the ruins of Leifeng Pagoda, Zhejiang, China in 2000
This gilt bronze Buddha statue is made up of five major parts: a mandorla, a lotus pedestal, a dragon pillar, a Sumeru pedestal and a square-shaped base. Each exquisitely designed part was molded separately and then pieced together as one whole unit.
The statue shows the Buddha' s hair tied in a tall topknot. His right hand shows the Preaching-Dharma mudra. He wears a robe with low-hanging collars over an inner robe with a knotted belt. He sits in a full lotus posture on a pedestal with double layers of upward facing lotus petals. Behind his back stands a mandorla with openwork flame-shaped borders, and a round halo that frames his head.
A soaring dragon lifts up the lotus pedestal where the Buddha is sitting. A flamboyant dragon and a serene Buddha; motion and stillness; stretching outward and looking inward; fury and gentleness, all blend harmoniously in this masterpiece. The harmonious combination of Eastern and Western styles has made this piece a rare discovery in the history of archeology.
Tang Dynasty to Wuyue, Five Dynasties (618-978)
Total Height: 68 cm
Unearthed from the Underground Palace of Leifeng Pagoda, Zhejiang, China in 2001
This piece is carved in bluish white jade. There is a tenon at the base of the statue, which is inserted into the square-shaped jade base pedestal. Some portions of the statue are carved in openwork. The back and the front are carved in intaglio with delicate floral motifs. The Boy of Good Fortune wears a robe with cross-over collars, half sleeves, and a belt that ties around the waist. His hands are pressed against the sides of his waists. His robe flows in the wind. His body is bent sideway to the left. Below his feet are floating auspicious clouds. On the surface of the jade base pedestal, low relief engravings and intaglio incisions are both used to depict the cosmic universe of "Nine Mountains and Eight Seas." Of all the "Boy of Good Fortune" jade statues discovered in China, this piece is the most ancient.

Description: The little-studied witchcraft trial that took place at Abiquiu, New Mexico, between 1756 and 1766 is the centerpiece of this book. The witchcraft outbreak took place less than a century after the Pueblo Revolt and symbolized a resistance by the Genzaros (hispanicized Indians) of Abiquiu to forced Christianization. The Abiquiu Genzaro land grant where the witchcraft outbreak occurred was the crown jewel of Governor Vlez Cachupns plan to achieve peace for the early New Mexican colonists. They were caught between the Pueblo Indians' resistance to Christianization and raids by the nomadic indio barbaros that threatened the existence of the colony. Thanks mainly to the governor's strategy, peace was achieved with the Comanches and Utes, the Pueblo Indians retained their religious ceremonies, and the Abiqui Pueblo land grant survived and flourished. "The Witches of Abiquiu" is the story of a polarizing event in New Mexico history equal in importance to the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692.

The old arcades bequeathed a fertile ground for any kind of imaginable video game, but from time to time someone believes it's the precise moment to dig off some of the old relics and wash their face. This is one of those cases. Star Defender 4 is the new Space Invaders in town. Mind you, there are different kinds of enemies and power-ups and even boss battles, but in the end is all about moving left and rightwards and throw a bomb when things get real.
Unfortunately, what it should be a yet another casual game turns a little bit annoying because of user interface issues that make difficult to read texts and some occasional force closing for no apparent reason. On the other hand, this paid version gets you rid of ads.
At the end of the day, it's a game enjoyable for old school gamers who want to see how an old classic can be revamped, as long as we omit the aforementioned flaws.

Imagine preparing a grocery list that included apples, carrots, honeydew melons, eggplant, peaches, cauliflower, broccoli and raspberries. Then, imagine that your favorite store didn't carry any foods pollinated by bees. You'd have quite a short shopping trip. In fact when one grocery store in Rhode Island removed (temporarily) all of its bee-dependent produce, the shelves of 237 of its 453 fruits and vegetables stood empty.
Bees, birds, bats, butterflies, flies, hummingbirds and some beetles are all considered pollinators. They fertilize plants by transferring pollen from one plant to another so new plants can develop, many that produce important sources of food for humans and animals. But drops in pollinator populations, bees in particular, are causing worldwide concerns. In the U.S. alone, bee populations have dropped by 25 percent since 1990.
"More than 85 percent of Earth's plant species — many of which compose some of the most nutritional parts of our diet — require pollinators to exist. Yet we continue to see alarming declines in bee numbers," says Eric Mader, the assistant pollinator conservation director at The Xerces Society.
Aside from the effect they have on food supplies, bees also play an important role in the economy. According to a recent Natural Resources Defense Council report, "More than $15 billion a year in U.S. crops are pollinated by bees, including apples, berries, cantaloupes, cucumbers, alfalfa and almonds. U.S. honey bees also produce about $150 million in honey annually. … But fewer bees mean the economy takes a hit: The global economic cost of bee decline, including lower crop yields and increased production costs, has been estimated at as high as $5.7 billion per year."
Bees face threats such as habitat loss, climate change and competition from nonnative species, but some researchers are particularly concerned about a new class of insecticides called "neonicotinoids" or "neonics."
Neonics are long-lasting compounds absorbed by the vascular systems of plants. Farmers can spray them on crops, but today, most corn and soybean crops in the U.S. are grown from neonic-treated seeds, which means the insecticide is present throughout the plant, including the pollen and nectar.
If neonics do not kill bees outright they do so over time by impairing the insects' ability to navigate to pollen sources and efficiently return to the hive. This means that the bees use more energy looking for pollen but ultimately find less.
Another problem with neonics is that they don't stay where they belong. According to a July 2014 U.S. Geological Survey study of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and seven other rivers and streams that receive runoff from most of Iowa and parts of Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin — states with the highest uses of neonics in the nation — neonics were present in all nine waterways.
Neonics may also be affecting farmland bird populations. The American Bird Conservancy reports a decline in swallows, swifts, martins, flycatchers and other insectivores, which catch prey as they fly. Habitat loss, intensive agricultural practices and other human activities are definite causes, but the widespread use of insecticides that indiscriminately target the insects these birds rely on for food also play a part.
The European Union has placed a two-year moratorium on three of the most popular neonics, but in the U.S. parties on different sides are at the beginning of the debate. In the meantime, the National Wildlife Federation and the Xerces Society offer some steps that we all can take to create favorable conditions for bees right in our own backyards.
Provide pollen and nectar.Active from early spring through late fall, bumblebees need access to a variety of nectar- and pollen-producing flowers so food is available during all stages of the insects' life cycle. Native plants are best because they have coevolved with indigenous bumblebees.Provide nesting sites.Most bumblebees nest underground in holes made by larger animals; others nest in abandoned bird nests, grass tussocks or hollow logs or under rocks. They may use compost piles or unoccupied birdhouses.Protect hibernation habitat.Because most queen bees overwinter in small holes on or just below the ground's surface, avoid raking, tilling or mowing your yard until April or May. If you do need to mow, do so with the blade set at the highest safe level.Eliminate pesticides.Avoid using insecticides and herbicides. In particular, steer clear of systemic pesticides such as neonicotinoids, which are taken up by the vascular systems of plants. See more information about neonics.

The Solid Waste Department (until 2004 known as the Natural Resources Department) is responsible for a variety of environmental and resource management functions in Larimer County, including solid and hazardous waste management and recycling. Until 2004 and 2006, the department was also responsible for weed control and forestry management, respectively. Today, these services are part of the Natural Resources Department.
1960: The Natural Resources Department started out as a group of three pest control districts, later merged into one.
The mid-1970s: Larimer County was hit with mountain pine beetle and Dutch elm disease epidemics. To combat these epidemics, the County added Forestry to the pest control district. The County Forester became the department head.
The late 1970s: Larimer County acquired several open space areas, and their management became the responsibility of the Forestry Department as it was now known.
1980: Larimer County reorganized into divisions, so this department became part of the new Public Works Division.
1983: Responsibility for solid waste activities (landfill and transfer stations) was moved from the Road and Bridge Department to this department. Open space responsibilities were transferred to the Parks Department.
1985: The Forestry and Solid Waste Management Department changed its name to the Natural Resources Department.
2004: The Weed Control District became part of the Parks and Open Lands Department and the Natural Resources Department became the Solid Waste Department to better reflect the services offered.
2006: The Forestry Program became part of the Parks and Open Lands Department.
The integrated solid waste management system consists of:
The solid waste system is an enterprise fund, supported by revenues from operations. No tax monies are used for solid waste programs. This self-supporting fund covers all operations, environmental protection, capital and site replacement funding, and closure and post-closure funding. In addition, the solid waste program pays the county's general fund about $50,000 per year for in-house services.

Orlando Hernandez smirked when he was asked about feeling pressure in Game 5 on Monday, and discussed how fans in Cuba had thrown rocks, tomatoes and ''anything they can find'' on the field. Essentially, he said, the rowdiest fans at Fenway Park would not unnerve him.
''If you win, the opposite fans are going to try to beat you any way they can,'' Hernandez said of pitching in Cuba. ''Then if you lose, your own fans are going to try to kill you.''
Joe Torre recalled how Hernandez pitched the most important game of the 1998 season and never became rattled, when he beat the Indians in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series last year. Torre does not think Monday night will be any different.
''What's to scare him after leaving Cuba and, you know, we don't know what size boat he came over on,'' Torre said. ''But, whatever it was, it's still the fact that he had to slide out of the country and hide somewhere and then be found and all this kind of stuff. So for sure, this is just a game for him.''

Gourmet BBQ on California's North Coast
It was a day of variegated culinary indulgences that began with a spectacular vegan breakfast at the Stanford Inn in Little River, continued with a mushroom-dish, wine, and beer tasting at Camp Mendocino in the middle of the redwoods (this was the Beer, Wine & Mushroom Festival, after all) and sips of Port on the Skunk Train that carried to and from the cook-off, and almost ended with amazing brisket and pulled pork at The Q in Fort Bragg--a true "joint" with high-end preparations of barbecue classics (a labor of love by the chef of the acclaimed Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino). "Almost" because we did some more wine tasting back at our B&B before heading out to catch a play at the Mendocino Theatre Company.

Artwork by Laylah Ali.
Laylah Ali's gouache-and-ink drawings previously only implied violence, but here her interrupted narratives and pared-down,comic-book aesthetic present a perilous world where a wounded civilization and psychology meet. Psychopolitical situations are frozen in individual frames, populated by figures dressed in costumes derived from superheroes and prison guards, their limbs hacked off, their faces mangled, their bodies bandaged and their necks hung by nooses at the end of page-long ropes. Also taking up issues of gender and race, these drawings offer only the most uncomfortable conclusions.
