It fell to Leon Britton to hand Swansea victory with a winning strike with nine minutes left.
A second half brace from Mark Bentley (pictured) gave Southend a 2-1 win at South East rivals Gillingham, with Alan Pouton scoring a late consolation for The Gills.
Huddersfield Town are now two points adrift of the top two after being held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth at The Galpharm Stadium.
Danny Schofield and Gary Taylor-Fletcher gave The Terriers a half time lead but a James Hayter penalty on 66 minutes was followed by a second goal four minutes later to earn The Cherries a point in West Yorkshire.

Former Brentford man Deon Burton gave The Millers the lead on eight minutes before a Kevin O'Connor penalty restored parity three minutes later.
Isaiah Rankin scored the winner for The Bees eight minutes before the break.
Port Vale move up to fifth after an entertaining 3-2 home win over Walsall, with Martin Foyle's side getting goals from Chris Birchall (8), Gary Mulligan (55) and on-loan Chris Cornes (72) A Sam Collins own goal and a strike from Ishmel Demontagnac proved scant consolation for The Saddlers.

Chris Iwelumo scored a late consolation for The U's.

Daniel Nardiello (8), Martin Devaney (12) and Chris Shuker (14) all found the scoresheet before half time and Shuker claimed a second nine minutes after the break.

The Iron stormed in to a two-goal lead through Andrew Keogh and Billy Sharp before The Glovers replied with four goals of their own.
Darren Way and Phil Jevons had the Somerset club level by half time and a Matt Harrold brace took Yeovil out to a 4-2 lead in the second half.
Sharp scored again late on to make the contest interesting but Yeovil held on for the points.
Gary Johnson suffered his first defeat as Bristol City manager after Michael Proctor's second half strike gave Hartlepool United a 1-0 win at Ashton Gate.
Finally, Milton Keynes Dons came from a goal down to defeat managerless Swindon Town 3-1 at The National Hockey Stadium.
Rory Fallon had put The Robins into an early lead but second half goals from Malvin Kamara (49), Gareth Edds (77) and Izale McLeod (81) gave MK Dons a valuable win over League One's bottom club.

It doesn't go towards FIFA 15 Coins maintaining
It doesn't go towards FIFA 15 Coins maintaining other online features, that's for sure. The PC version of FIFA 15 has removed match lobbies. That means there's no longer any way to play some casual, unranked matches against random people, and no head-to-head way to try out some new teams without just diving into a ranked game. The ability to save and share replays also seems to have vanished on PC (or it's hidden somewhere so obscure I can't find it.)
This all rather sours what is otherwise a fairly decent version of the game. FIFA 15 is the first PC version to make use of the Ignite Engine, though I'd be hard pushed to identify more changes between FIFA 14 and 15 than, say, 11 and 12. New engine or not, EA Sports are at the iterative stage of development where annual alterations to the game are more likely to be cosmetic (new 3D crowds, more licensed stadiums) than dramatic.
The most prominent change to the way FIFA 15 plays concerns close controlled dribbling, and the knock-on effect this has on defending. In FIFA 14 (at least on PC,) players could take an age to get the ball under control, turn and dash through a defence. Now, even League One journeymen can have a decent stab at being 1990s Roberto Baggio and quick, skillful players like Messi can twist, waltz and retain possession basically at will.

baby signs
So I have always wanted to teach my children baby signs. I have an app on my phone and tablet that shows me signs for babies. Well I have been working with him here and there doing signs but I forget a lot of times. DO you think its too late to teach him baby signs or should I continue to work on them with him. I am just doing a few and as he grows older I plan on doing more. Has anyone else taught their little ones baby signs. If so is 6 months too late. I have heard you have to start from day one with them.
I was about 10 when I learned ASL so he isn't too old at all to learn! And no, you don't need to start from day one. It's wonderful to teach your kids sign language no matter what their age.

DALLAS -- A photo of the NBA championship trophy decorates the back wall of Dirk Nowitzki's locker, a daily reminder of the only thing missing from his magnificent career with the Dallas Mavericks.
"That's been there a long time," Nowitzki said with a deep sigh.
Guard Jason Terry recently got an even more permanent reminder of the Mavs' mission. That trophy is tattooed on the inside of his right bicep, with room left to add the date if/when the Mavs win the franchise's first NBA title.
That's a lot of optimism for a franchise that has won a grand total of one playoff series in the four seasons since letting a 2-0 lead slip away in the NBA Finals. Another trip to the Finals seems far, far away for the only franchise in NBA history to reel off 10 straight 50-win seasons without multiple titles, much less one.
"Look, we've got a lot to prove," coach Rick Carlisle said. "I don't think you come out here [right before] the season and talk about how optimistic you are. This team's got a lot to prove. We know that, and that's a challenge we're looking forward to."
But there are folks in downtown Dallas eager to pump some sunshine. They'll point out that the Mavs were the Western Conference's No. 2 seed behind the Los Angeles Lakers last season and provide reasons to believe they'll be better this season.
"I think the West is always tough, but we feel good about where we're at," said Donnie Nelson, the Mavs' president of basketball operations. "Who knows when the smoke clears? I don't know how many quote-unquote experts will have us beating LA in seven, but I think we're right there in the thick of the teams that are being talked about in the upper echelon in the West."
There are a few reasons why these Mavs might be more than just another 50-win team that can make vacation plans for mid-May.
Rodrigue Beaubois: The guard had many breathtaking moments as a rookie, even though he was in and out of the rotation all season. Now, Carlisle is committed to giving the Mavs' most athletic player a significant role once he recovers from a broken foot, which shouldn't be too much longer. Beaubois will probably end up starting at shooting guard. He's a potential 20-point scorer who has the ability to create his own shots and flourishes as Jason Kidd's high-flying, sweet-shooting backcourt partner.
Caron Butler: He didn't make the impact the Mavs hoped he would after arriving in a midseason trade from Washington. He responded by dropping about a dozen pounds while working out with renowned personal trainer Tim Grover. He should be more comfortable after going through a Dallas training camp and playing the vast majority of his minutes at his natural position of small forward instead of shooting guard. The Mavs need Butler to be the well-rounded, efficient player who was an All-Star in 2007 and 2008.
Tyson Chandler: He's not the superstar the Mavs hoped to acquire this summer to pair with Nowitzki. However, if he can stay healthy, the 7-foot-1 Chandler is an upgrade over Erick Dampier. Chandler is by far the most athletic center the Mavs have had, giving them defensive flexibility and an excellent offensive finisher.
Now, let's be brutally honest: The Mavs are at least one major move away from really being a threat to the Lakers. Nowitzki hints at that when he says they have a four-year window, which is the length of the $80 million contract he signed this summer.
If the Mavs make that move, count on some combination (or all three) of Beaubois, Butler and Chandler being involved. Beaubois is an intriguing young talent who comes relatively cheap, with three seasons remaining on his rookie contract. Butler ($10.8 million) and Chandler ($12.6 million) have massive expiring contracts that will be attractive to cost-cutting teams.
Count on the Mavs being a constant in the pre-trade deadline rumor mill once again after making blockbuster deals during two of the past three All-Star breaks.
"We're in a constant state of probe," said Nelson, whose team features only two players (Nowitzki and Terry) that remain from the 2005-06 Finals team. "That being said, don't look for anything on the horizon here. We're not going to do anything that's lateral or a little above lateral. If something great presents itself, Mark [Cuban] obviously has shown the propensity to pull the trigger at any time. But we're not looking for reasons to change."
Without a significant change for the better, don't look for the real championship trophy in the American Airlines Center any time soon.

Bf already had a bad day people have been putting him down yesterday we had and argument so he's stressed as is. He always has said "Never insult family or that will upset me more than anything" we were trying to have a better day today and than he sent me a picture box him and his friend. I basically card his friend ugly saying aww.. oh yeah I'm definitely glad to have you.. he said what? I repeated and than he said He thought that's what I meant/said. I said it was a compliment to you. He said you took one look at my bro/friend and judged him. I told you don't fuck with family Followed by ttyl. I told him I didn't mean to insult.. Just wanted him to take the compliment... But.. instead now I'm a bad person :( Last thing he said is told me again don't put down family And that he will talk to me later after being away from people... I text him saying I know I was wrong My mom raised me better And that I knew that's his bro and a great guy... but now I'm pretty stressed... feel terrible... extremely terrible... Do you think he will break up over this?
Insulted my bf's bro (best friend)Will we be OK?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Why would you even say that... if I was the friend it would make me said that my best friends' gf thinks that of me. I think you should apologize to your bf's best friend. I don't think you are a terrible person but you shouldn't have said that. I hope you don't really think he is ugly.. because I have been in kind of the same situation and it really affected me to know that a person who close to my friend could possibly think that about me.00|00|0
I mean yes my bf is more attractive on the outside but as a person he's a nice guy. I already did apologize to bf I shouldn't have said that. I'm not a heartless person like that it just came out. I have no personal contact with his friend so all I can really do is tell bf I'm genuinely sorry because I am. Im not perfect but looks really aren't everything I was just concerned he'd break up with me cuz now were not talking :( I dont want his friend to hate me or him :(
"Looks really aren't everything." This makes me think differently about women. This question has really opened my eyes to the way women really think. Why judge him on his looks? Just goes to show that no matter how good of a person one can be it doesn't matter because people will always judge you based on your physical appearance and if you are ugly or not. In my honest opinion I don't think are really that sorry for what you said because you believe it. I think you are more sorry because it affected your relationship with your boyfriend. I don't know if you have ever been judged on your appearance or ever been called ugly by a friend but it doesn't feel good at all. I hope your boyfriend is able to forgive you and I hope all three of you can move past this. There was a better way to tell your boyfriend you like his looks than to put down his friend. This question makes me think looks are everything. It really reminded me of my exgirlfriend.
Actually yes I do feel bad and yes I have been bullied all through school I say "looks really aren't everything" Because I know a lot of people date based on looks and I'm not one to do that. I've never dated a guy for his wallet or looks. I'd like to befriend my bfs friend. Made that bad statement though. I didn't straight up say your friends really fuckin ugly.. No but yes I could've said oh you guys look like you're having fun etc instead of what I did it was wrong and I've been in that position before. I hope we can move past it too. Because honestly he's called me cute before and than I said that so yes I feel like crap. I'd like to make amends I just hope he can forgive me. Especially his friend. Because honestly one day I'd like to befriend him but.. after this worries me that it'll be more unlikely. Its very unfortunate that I don't have contact with his friend.. because I want him to hear straight from me that I am sorry.

This seems a bit late – instructions for a peppermint wreath after Christmas, but I don't have the staff (or the desire!) to make my Christmas ideas in July. 🙂 I'm going to work on timing, but for now, here it is – a Christmas craft after Christmas!
I love making new crafts, but I really don't like making repeated copies. This was a difficulty with this craft, because I wanted it for my kitchen windows, and I had three. Lo and behold, but as I was working on the first wreath two more magically appeared! It was a Christmas miracle!…

Help for ingrown toenailsPosted on: 16 August 2013 by 50connect editorial
Dr Suzanne Belyea offers tips to take the pain out of an infected ingrowing toenail and how to care for your feet.
The irritation, redness and swelling that accompany an ingrown toenail lead to one basic thing: ouch. An ingrown toenail, known to physicians as onychocryptosis, is caused when the nail of the toe grows into the surrounding skin. The condition is usually very painful and can lead to a serious infection.
According to Dr Suzanne Belyea, Medical Director of Foot.com, ingrown toenails develop for many reasons. In some cases the condition is congenital. Often trauma, like stubbing a toe or having it stepped on, can jam the nail into the skin. The repeated pounding from running or other sports can also cause ingrown toenails.
"The most common cause is cutting your toenails incorrectly," Dr. Belyea says. "Often poorly cut nails will re-grow into the skin, and wearing tight stockings or shoes with a tight toe box makes matters worse." Toenails should normally be cut straight across so that the nail corner is visible.
"You can have very mild symptoms of an ingrown toenail for weeks or months, but once the skin is opened and an infection sets in, you're dealing with a serious situation," Dr. Belyea adds. Bacteria can enter the skin next to the nail, and will thrive in a warm, moist environment. At this stage, treatment with sterile instruments and antibiotics is usually necessary.
One home treatment for an ingrown toenail involves soaking the toe in warm salt water for 20-30 minutes four times a day. To relieve pressure, you can cut back the nail, but be careful not to make the problem worse by irritating the wound or cutting the nail at an angle that will cause it to grow back into the skin and become more and more ingrown. A podiatrist can do this more accurately.
Applying an antibiotic such as Neosporin reduces the chance of infection. Wearing an open-toe shoe will help ease pressure on the area.
If an infection sets in, see your doctor. For more information on ingrown toenails and other foot conditions, visit www.foot.com.

text: William Blair & Co. analyst Lawrence De Maria said inventory reductions that Caterpillar reported in the latest quarter were "dramatic" and better than he had anticipated. The company and its dealers have both been trying to sell off inventory, and Caterpillar said that reduced production will continue at least through the first quarter.De Maria, who maintains an "Outperform" rating on the stock, said Caterpillar's "cautiously optimistic view of the world and conservative guidance should help set up for positive earnings surprises in 2013." The biggest factor driving the stock's performance will probably be the global mining outlook into 2014, he said. Jefferies & Co. analyst Stephen Volkmann, who maintains a "Hold" rating on Caterpillar, also called the mining outlook critical. The company "still needs additional mining orders in 2013 to fill out its production schedule," he said in a note to clients.

What if I want to I want to use just for peridos in the year?Asked by fernando_stm on February 06, 2016 at 02:48 PM
I have a client that has inscriptions on-line but it is only in February, June and December. The rest of the time use the form. I would hire the bronze plan for my client.
As would be the payment? I can pay only for two or three months?
You can upgrade and downgrade your account anytime, as described in our FAQ:
2. JotForm does not lock you in like similar services. You can upgrade to Bronze plan for a month or two when you need to receive a lot of submissions, then downgrade back when you don't need it any more. When you downgrade you do not lose your forms or existing data on your account.

A campaign poster placed on a Zagreb office window of the MOST, an independent slate for the forthcoming parliamentary election, was damaged on Wednesday morning and party officials said that the perpetrators responsible for this vandalism should know that the party has not been perturbed by this and was now even more convinced that it was on the right path.
MOST officials reported on the party's website that other posters would probably have been damaged, had several volunteers not been in the party's office at the time.
Our message "I wish to live in an organised Croatia", which was on the damaged poster, is obviously unacceptable to some interest groups. If you thought you would scare us off, then know that you have done us a favour and encouraged us to get down to our work with even more fervour. Your vandalism is evidence that we are on the right path, MOST had to say.

30th September 2011 11:12Ever wondered what they're all about?
For example,
I just now had a dream that had this girl I was interested in before, but it's weird because the dream wasn't really about her but was mostly focused on her the entire time. The dream itself was dumb, consisting of a bus ride to some school to perform a live show while singing there like it's Glee on Magic School Bus. Anyway, I still see her around but I haven't been thinking about this person, although some things were accurate because they were on my mind prior to falling asleep. I've always gotten these random dreams, but still.
Discuss your dreams if you can remember 'em, or your thoughts on this matter. Or how mindblowing Inception is.

Fuel Retail Groups Applaud Temperature Control Report
Call it "a good first step" in providing a level analysis of temperature compensation.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The California Energy Commission's (CEC) recent finding that consumers would pay more for fuel and the "net cost to society is slightly negative" if automatic temperature compensation were required on fuel pumps statewide was applauded yesterday by various trade groups that represent petroleum retailers.
A CEC workshop is scheduled today to review the Commission's draft report, released Nov. 26 following a year-long study of the costs and benefits to consumers associated with automatic temperature compensation (ATC). The 158-page report found the initial costs alone to retrofit fuel pumps in California would range from $102 million to $123 million, and that annual expenses for ATC-related maintenance and inspections would range from $4.4 million to $13 million.
Groups including the California Independent Oil Marketers Association (CIOMA), Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA), Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America (SIGMA), NACS -- the Association for Convenience and Petroleum Retailing and NATSO, representing truck stops -- will provide testimony today that the CEC report is a good first step in providing a level and comprehensive analysis of ATC.
At issue is how a gallon of fuel is defined, based on changes in temperature. For decades the standard for a gallon of fuel has been 231 cubic inches when measured at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. However, when the temperature of the fuel increases beyond 60 degrees, the fuel expands and the opposite occurs when the temperature drops below 60 degrees. Every 15-degree swing in temperature changes the volume of fuel by an estimated 1 percent for gasoline and about 0.6 percent for diesel fuel, according to the trade groups.
Proponents of ATC mandates argue "hot gas" costs consumers money. The petroleum retailing groups, however, have consistently maintained that ATC will actually cost consumers more money.
"Temperature variations are already factored in to retail prices," said Carl Boyett, CEO of Boyett Petroleum, which operates Boyett Petroleum and Kwik Serv stations in and around Modesto, Calif. "If retailers are required to adjust the volume of each gallon of fuel they sell, they will necessarily adjust the price of that fuel by an equal amount. In addition, consumers will be forced to pay for the installation and operation of the ATC equipment in the form of higher prices. We agree with the CEC that ATC will not benefit consumers it will only increase their fuel costs."
While petroleum retailing groups praised the work of the commission, they continued to express concern that some of the costs may, in reality, be higher than what the CEC estimated because of inaccurate assumptions concerning retail fuel operations. They also disagreed with the CEC's suggestion that fuel retailers could simply raise prices on convenience store items to cover the costs associated with installation of ATC equipment.
"The majority of fueling stations in the country are operated by single-store businesses, not the integrated oil companies that continue to divest their small retail assets," said Tom Robinson, president of Robinson Oil Corp., which operates 34 Rotten Robbie stations and Mrs. Robbie's Markets throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
"Retailers exist on such thin profit margins—which annually average one to two cents per gallon—that they depend upon in-store traffic and sales to support their business. Raising prices on in-store items to pay for ATC equipment would be counter-productive, especially when their competitors for those same items in other retail channels will not incur similar costs," Robinson said in a statement.
The groups said the petroleum retailing industry opposes any regulatory proposals that will increase costs to consumers without providing them an equal or greater benefit.
"The CEC study demonstrates that society would pay more for temperature compensated fuel while receiving no benefit of equal or greater value. Consequently, we believe proposals to implement ATC at petroleum retailing locations should be rejected," stated Jay McKeeman, CIOMA's vice president of government relations and communications.

I've had a lovely week this week, the weather at the weekend was beautiful and we spent most of the weekend chilling in the garden with the kids, we even had an impromptu bbq on Sunday and 2 of H's friends came too which made it very loud and chaotic but was fun. It's on days like this that we wish we had a bigger garden, there didn't seem enough room but the kids don't mind they play whatever.
The OH had the day off on Monday which was lovely as it meant he could come with me to pick L up from pre-school which L loved too. It was still nice so we did have a longer walk home and got an ice cream on the way home :).
Then it was my birthday Thursday.......eek 33! The last year of my early thirties as I was informed by the OH..thanks! It was a really lovely day, the OH was at work and H was at school so it was just L and me which was fine. H had made me a beautiful little scrapbook with all her favourite pictures in it was gorgeous, it meant so much.
I got these beautiful flowers from the OH, sorry about the rubbish photo it was a bit dark, they smell amazing everytime I walk past them a get whiff. They're from my friends flower shop.
He also got me this sewing machine, as recommended by CrafySmiles :), there as so many out there and as I am a complete beginner this looked like it had more than enough for me. But I've still not used it yet, it feels a bit intimidating....I'm going to wait until I've got the house to myself Monday morning and have a play. I couln't do it with everyone watching, I'll have a look at the instructions in the meantime.
I also got some beautiful smellies from various friends and the latest Lady Gaga album which is currently being played in my car.
In the afternoon I baked these cupcakes, chocolate and mint yummy! Later on someone had bought me some maltesers so I thought they would finish off the cupcakes brilliantly As you can see they had already gone down, surprise surprise they've now gone. It was nice to be able to offer them to people coming round.
My week wouldn't be complete without some visiting the local charity shops and I did pick up some fab bargains. I picked this bag up for £2, I thought it would be great to hold my crochet and yarn, which it does beautifully :)What are my plans for this weekend, well we're all going to a friends wedding evening reception this evening, they have a creche until 9.00pm. It will be nice us all going out together as a family which we don't get to do very often. Currently it is raining but I'm sure it said on the weather that it will brighten up I hope so.
Lastly I am really excited about participating in my first ever swap, I'm doing Pixiedust's Strawberry swap and have been paired with Hookin' with LaaLaa who I have just started to follow. I'm a bit nervous about what to do but I've already had a few moments of inspiration about what to include but I'm not revealing.......
I hope everyone has a fab weekend whatever you do xxxx

Here are more of the factors you will want to consider when looking for and buying your air compressor.
What comes included with each compressor? Here's a page that discusses accessories further.
Consider building a spreadsheet with features and benefits of each system from each vendor. This is a useful way to compare "apples to apples" from various compressors and manufacturers.
For example, if the air compressor is oil lubed, how often between oil changes, and what is the type of oil recommended? Some manufacturers recommend synthetic oils which come at higher cost. If so, what are the benefits you can expect for that greater expense?
If you've considered under sizing your air compressor to save some capital expense up front, and end up pushing it past its acceptable duty cycle, how will that affect its life expectancy? Will you be buying another compressor much sooner than expected?
You might save a lot of money on a compressor that offers a poor warranty, yet you might find yourself replacing it completely, long before a more expensive unit, backed by a secure warranty, would have been used up.
If not, who will fix the air compressor then? Where are their offices, what's the response time, are there travel expenses, and how much will it cost for a service call?
Here is a list of compressor repair shops in case you need to outsource compressor repair.
Once you know who will fix your compressor, ask for a parts breakdown, determine from the vendor which parts are likely to fail, and ask what the purchase price is for those parts.
There will be significant pricing disparities for similar parts from different vendors. Take the time to check as parts cost could be a large part of your compressor operating budget as time goes on.
Some might quote delivered your plant, others not, so add delivery / installation costs to the capital cost of each if the price quoted doesn't include that, so that all vendor's prices are quoted the same.
Some may "carry the paper" of the loan, and if they will, and you decide not to take that benefit, perhaps refusing it might lower the cost of the unit somewhat?
We've spent a lot of time talking about Buying your compressor, about things you need to know to select the correct one.
Now, how about the cost to use? For information on the running cost of compressors, to help you in making your buying decision, here is information compressor costs.

The Little Princess
By Isabelle Hernandez
Rating: R, mature later chapter
Disclaimer: I own neither Gossip Girl and much less Chuck and Blair. Sadly.
Summary: A journey begins when Chuck sets out to find Blair after a tragedy. He brings his inquisitive five year old daughter with him. This is the story told by her.
A/N: It came to me in a dream, and I decided to write it down. Thank you to my beta, Tati.
Chapter 1: Mr. Burke
"The earliest memory of my mother was of her dressed in a pale ivory coat, smiling at my father. She had a round belly and a smile on her face. I didn't see that smile again for many, many months. Years later, I asked her what had happened that was so sad, to which she replied that though life is not always happy, it is always true." ~ Ilsa C. Bass
The thing that made Ilsa happiest was the fact that Daddy let her wear her red coat. She loved her red coat. It had a lovely silk bow on the waist, full skirt and a soft caramel-colored fur around the collar. It felt like she was being hugged by a teddy bear. But it also reminded her of the films she watched with Mommy, cuddled in silk sheets on cold days. They were from old times, where the film always ended with a kiss of true love. She wore her white gloves and shiny patent shoes as Dorota carried her luggage behind them. In her right hand, she held Prince Albert the frog prince her mommy had gotten her when she was a baby. In her left, she held on tightly to Daddy's hand, attempting to keep up with his long steps as he stared ahead towards the plane.
Her red coat had been a present from her grandfather Harold, and she was only allowed to wear it on special occasions, which was how she knew this was a special trip because Daddy said 'let her wear what she likes' to Dorota, and she had promptly insisted on her red coat and soft white gloves.
"Where are we going, Daddy?" She peered up at her father. His face was not soft and smiling like it usually was; it was hard and distant, and she didn't quite know what to make of it. There was only so much a five year old could understand, you see. She had been on their plane many times: to visit France and London, to go to the mountains, to travel to Barcelona. She had memories of it, but she had never been on the plane with just her daddy. On occasion it had been just her and her mommy as they flew to meet Daddy while he was away on business, but never just the two of them. This felt special, like a bonding trip.
"Prague," he responded, still not looking at her, and her eyes lit up.
"Is Mommy in Prague?" She inquired with great curiosity.
"No," he replied and left it at that as he continued walking towards the plane.
Ilsa frowned. It wasn't like her father to go monosyllabic on her, and much less ignore her. She noticed a strange man, badly dressed, waiting by the plane for them. It wasn't Joe, their pilot, but someone else. They walked until they were directly in front of the man, who smelled like something bitter and smoky and she didn't like it.
"Family outing?" The man asked her father, and her own brows furrowed.
"Who are you?" She demanded, not used to being ignored by adults. Adults usually fawned over her, complimenting her coat, her froggie, her caramel locks or her lips. This man ignored her, and she didn't like it.
The man turned slowly to meet her eyes, much taller than her father and much dirtier.
"Don't worry about that, little princess." He sneered down at her, and she recoiled back, hiding behind her father's well-shaped legs, tucking Prince Albert firmly under her chin.
"She comes, and that's final," she heard her father declare. Before she knew it, he had picked her up in his arms and started up the stairs of the plane with her. She peeked over her father's shoulder to stare at the mean man.
The man stared right back at her.
She stuck her tongue out.
Served him right. She didn't like smelly people.
"Daddy, he smells like Brooklyn," she whispered to her father. And though Ilsa couldn't see it at the moment, it was the first time a miniscule smile tugged at her father's lips. "Mommy said that people that smell like Brooklyn can't be trusted." She eyed the man who followed them up the plane stairs, never taking his eyes off her.
Once inside the plane, her daddy placed her on a large plush chair and made sure her coat was well hung so it wouldn't get wrinkled. He placed a soft cashmere throw over her legs and secured her seat belt. She beamed up at him when he handed her Prince Albert, hugging the frog with all her might.
"Get her some milk," he commanded a pretty flight attendant who flashed her father a wide smile, which made Ilsa frown.
"With honey!" Ilsa snapped at the woman, who turned to stare at her in surprise. "And slightly warm, if you please." She huffed and fixed her curls.
Her father spared her a sidelong glance. "You heard her." He told the woman who quickly stopped smiling at her father. She must be new.
Dorota entered the plane right after the smelly man, who went directly to talk to Joe. The woman was crying, and Ilsa couldn't understand why. She placed a little suitcase next to Ilsa, sniffling the whole time.
"Your toys, Miss Ilsa," she said, fixing the blanket around her. "You be good with your papa, yes?"
"Yes, Dorota," Ilsa agreed. "I promised I would be the best little girl."
"Good, child. Good." Dorota fixed her curls some more, making sure her sparkly headband was well in place, and tucked Prince Albert under the blanket. She leaned in close to the girl. "Your papa very sad, yes? You make him happy, yes?"
Small Ilsa could hardly understand what her nana meant, but Mommy had always said to obey Dorota no matter what so she nodded eagerly, eager to make her father happy since he was so sad.
Dorota kissed the top of her head and quickly left the plane.
"Why isn't Dorota coming with us?" Ilsa asked her father, who had now sat on the other side of the plane, his face still hard and sad, holding a glass of dirty water in his hand. Ilsa wondered why he didn't get milk also.
He didn't answer her and simply looked out of the window. Ilsa sighed, annoyed once more at being ignored. She watched with wide and curious eyes as the smelly man came to her father, whispered something, handing him some papers and leaving them to sit in the front where he spread out, pulled his raggedy hat over his face, and went to sleep. It seemed to Ilsa that it couldn't be a very comfortable position.
She turned her small head to her father, who studied the paper before him with a set intensity, like when her Mommy told her not to bother him because he was a very important and busy man. Yet… In those times, when he would sense her spying on him in her nightgown, whispering to Prince Albert that he needed to be quiet or he would disturb Daddy's concentration, her father would turn and invite her to his lap, letting her fall asleep there as the continued going over the paperwork on his desk.
"Daddy?" She asked quietly, finishing the warm milk the lady had brought her. "Can I sit with you, Daddy?"
Her father sighed tiredly, running a hand over his face. It seemed to small Ilsa that she had never seen her father look so very… devastated. So lost and alone. It was at that precise moment that she realized how much she missed her mother. Her mother always knew what to do when her father was angry or sad. She always knew what to do when Ilsa herself was angry or sad. She just didn't understand what she had done so very wrong to make her mother leave without saying goodbye.
"Not now, princess," he whispered quietly. Ilsa sighed and pressed her small face into Prince Albert's soft fur, whispering and explaining to him that they needed to be good lest Daddy leave them in New York with Auntie Serena and her new Uncle whose name she couldn't remember. After Prince Albert agreed, the soft hum of the jet's engine lulled the small child to sleep. Sometime in the night, her father picked her up, laid her against his chest and let her and her frog sleep there for the rest of the night.
"The first time I saw Prague, it was under a sad circumstance which I could still not comprehend. But for the first time I finally understood beauty. My mother's love was Paris and mine became Prague. I found a twin soul and years after I made a point to visit as often as possible, basking in its dark streets and wet cobbled steps. I was a heroine there; the star of my very own film." ~ Ilsa C. Bass
In the old limousine, riding through the city as the early morning greeted the Prague citizens, little Ilsa Bass pressed her face up against the window, intent on memorizing every detail of this new city. Prince Albert was just as excited as she was, falling in love with it along with her. The pristine and impressive buildings were so very different from New York.
"This place is magic, Daddy!" She exclaimed to her father, who now wore sunglasses and stared blankly ahead. "This is where princesses live, Daddy, real princesses!"
Her father said nothing, but Prince Albert was quite chatty. From the front of the limo, the smelly man mumbled and grumbled at her chatter but she firmly ignored him. Mommy always said that if something needed to be said, then it should be stated not hidden.
She watched as elderly women dressed in fine Italian shoes walked briskly in the streets with bags of groceries, stopping to greet one another, exchanging idle gossip and soft smiles. She watched tourists, which her mother had taught her to despise, with contempt. Their shorts, cameras and hippy backpacks became quite offensive and she sniffed at them. Tour groups filled with lost and eager teens blocked the limo's path, and she explained to Prince Albert that the lower classes had no choice but to travel in packs in order to make Europe more affordable.
"I wont ever have to travel in packs, will I, Daddy?" she asked her father as the limo slowed down before an impressive building. "Where are we, daddy?"
"A friend's home. I need to speak with him privately," her father said, pulling on his gloves to guard against the cold weather outside. Ilsa imitated him, ensuring her own gloves were firmly closed around the pearl buttons. She also made sure Prince Albert's cape was well-fitted; she didn't want him to catch a cold and slow them down in their adventure.
"Stay here, Ilsa. Stay with the driver," her father said. It was not a request, but rather a fact.
"No, Daddy! You promised! You promised you wouldn't leave me behind!" Ilsa cried, her heart hammering at the thought of being left alone with a driver she didn't know. She knew Arthur well and was fine with him – Arthur drove her all over the city and ensured she arrived safely at all her location – but she didn't know this creepy man and she refused to be abandoned with him. Plus, Prince Albert had forgotten his sword and who would defend her if not her father?
"The kid is slowing us down," the smelly man grumbled, coming around the car when her father opened the door.
Her father turned and gave the man a hard glare, harder than Ilsa had ever seen her father give anyone else. Even Ilsa recoiled back from said look.
"Mommy would never leave me with a stranger," Ilsa assured him with finality. That apparently did the trick as her father got out of the car and turned to offer her his hand. She happily took it, making sure she had a good grasp on Prince Albert and followed him outside.
The air even smelled different here than in New York, she realized. It smelled of old things. Like her grandmother's jewelry chest, which she was allowed to peek at once in a while when Grandma Eleanor let her play dress up in her room. As her father spoke to the mean man, she listened intently.
"I wasn't able to reach him," the man explained to her father.
"Then a surprise visit it is," her father replied, cold smoke blowing from his lips.
"Are you sure he's the man to help?" The driver inquired.
"I pay you for many things, but questioning me is not one of them, Parker." Her father snapped and Ilsa had a little delirious smile on her lips as she nodded, emphasizing her father's words to Parker. No one questioned her father… Well, maybe her mother. Definitely her mother. Sometimes her Grandmother Eleanor, but even she knew when to stop meddling.
Her father started them towards the grand home in the center of the city. Ilsa stretched her little neck upwards to see how high the building went. Was it as high at the New York ones where she at times couldn't see the end? Was it a short building like the Hamptons house? One thing was certain; the Basses didn't own a home this old. It wasn't decrepit… it was simply old. Like the Palaces of Versailles where her mother took her last fall with her Uncle Eric and Grandpa Harold.
"Are we staying here, Daddy? Is this a hotel? Do you own this hotel?" She asked, attempting to keep up with his quick steps. Her curls bounced around her, and she nearly tripped on the hard stone steps but her father, realizing he was dragging her, quickly pulled her up before she snagged her tights or scraped a knee.
"No, no and no," he answered quickly, arriving at the door and ringing the elegant bell.
Ilsa fixed her hair, making sure it was properly in place. She dusted off any invisible lint on her fine coat and made sure it was presentable. She narrowed her small eyes when she spotted a small scuff on her shiny black shoes, which her Uncle Eric had gotten her for her birthday. She would have to get one of the maids to properly clean them. She told this to Prince Albert as they waited for the door to be opened, adjusting his twisted cape.
When the door was finally opened, a serious old butler appeared and looked down at the Basses past his crooked nose. Ilsa scurried and hid behind her father as she peeked up at the man.
"Charles Bass to see Remington Burke," her father announced, unconcerned with the man's sneering look.
"Into the foyer, sir." The man had a refined English accent, one that many of her parents' friends had. Her father pulled her into the home, but Ilsa stopped, knowing her manners very well, and curtsied before the butler.
"Ilsa Cordelia Bass-Waldorf, if you please," she decided to introduce herself, seeing as her father had also introduced himself. The butler's eyebrows rose and hid under his thinning hair. He nodded at her.
"Yes, miss. You can also go into the foyer," he nodded at her.
"Ilsa," her father chastised, grabbing her hand and pulling her along to sit on a plush dark brown sofa.
"I'm sorry, Daddy, but he needed to know my name also in order to receive a proper introduction from our host," she explained, fixing her skirt around her. "Mommy said to always make sure that people know exactly who you are, otherwise they threat you like commoners, which we are not."
Her father sighed, burying his head in his hands, which made Ilsa feel guilty. Perhaps she should stop mentioning her mother so often, but she couldn't help it. All she knew she had learned from her, and she needed to state the source in order for her statements to hold any validity. She said this to Prince Albert in secret, and he heartily agreed.
Despite her folded hands before her, her crossed ankles and her perfect posture, Ilsa's wide eyes searched out the home with thirsty curiosity. From the thick Persian carpets to the fine porcelain china to the thick mahogany that covered nearly every corner of the home. To her, it felt a bit cluttered. Their home was simple yet classically styled and never overly furnished.
"You can always tell new money by the way they furnish their home," her mother told her some months ago. Her belly was large and protruding as she made sure Dorota properly moved the console table to the right angle. "I'll never understand the need for such sumptuousness, and neither shall you."
"Yes, Mommy." Ilsa trailed behind her taking mental notes of these important lessons despite the fact that she had no clue what 'sumptuousness' meant.
"Thank goodness your father has me, though he does inherently have good taste. Which is what attracted me to him in the first place, you know. I always knew I would fall in love with him," she said with authority.
Dorota sniffled dismissively, which earned her a glare from her mother.
"I always knew I would love him, my flower, don't you believe otherwise," her mother told her, and Ilsa eagerly nodded.
"Are they new money, daddy?" Ilsa whispered to her father, who for the first time turned to really look at her. It was then that she noticed he hardly looked at her, always talked to her from the side. Always avoiding her eyes and her gaze.
"Yes, Ilsa. They are," he confirmed.
Ilsa pursed her lips. Weren't the Humphreys also new money, and she had been firmly told to avoid them?
"Mommy said –"
"Be quiet," her father said as the butler came back into the room with an air about him.
"Mr. Burke will see you now, Mr. Bass… and Miss Bass," the man nodded at her direction.
Ilsa smiled prettily at him, and the man hid a smile as he led them up some stairs and into a darkened hallway. Her father walked behind her as the old butler showed them the way to Mr. Burke's office. Ilsa's eyes wandered to the paintings in the dark hallways. They were authentic, she noticed, having been taught this lesson by her Grandfather Harold.
She was so enthralled by the items that she stopped walking. Her father's hand was at her back.
"Walk on, Ilsa," he murmured and she looked up at him.
"We have more Picassos than they do, Daddy," she confided. Her father motioned for her to be quiet. She mirrored his actions to Prince Albert, who seemed to be very chatty today.
They were led to a door that the butler opened, ushering them inside. It was a grand office, with large windows overlooking the city. A large desk housed a man who was bent over his papers. He had a set face and a scar on his eyebrow. He was a cold man, Ilsa decided; he reminded her of the picture of her dead Grandfather Bartholomew, which her father kept in his office as far from his desk as possible. The picture made her grasp at her mother's skirt, burying her face in the soft cloth despite her mother's reassurance.
Ilsa grasped her father's hand tightly, attempting to be brave like she promised she would. This man could know where her mother was and that was most important to her, since she needed her father to be happy once more.
"Mr. Burke, Mr. Bass for you," the butler announced.
Ilsa cleared her throat and eyed the elder man.
"And Miss Ilsa Cordelia Bass-Waldorf, sir," the butler clarified. Ilsa turned her small head to study the reaction of Mr. Burke who finally looked up from the endless papers on his desk. It was obvious that this man didn't have a mommy to tidy up behind him. Her daddy's desk always remained respectable because her mother would go in with Dorota and organize it once a week.
"What would it take for him to simply put things back where he found them?"Her mother would hiss as Ilsa watched from the doorway. "Next week I will have to check the office, it must be a disaster."
"Can I come, Mommy? I can help organize!" Ilsa would offer.
Her mother would turn to her and smile. "Of course, princess. You and Prince Albert can come, and then we can all have lunch with your father at Fig & Olive so you can have your favorite Goat Cheese Crostini."
"Oh, yes, please, Mommy!" Ilsa would cry, delighted at the prospect of such a wonderful day. "And then can we stop by the park and feed the ducks my leftovers?"
"I think this is a wonderful plan." Her mother would hold her, and she would feel safe.
Mr. Burke stood from his spot, eyeing the curious pair.
"Charles Bass… It's been some time…" the man said slowly.
"Remy. How are you?" Chuck held out his hand. Ilsa eyed the two men, sensing that they fought a battle with neither words nor weapons. She clutched Prince Albert tighter and told him all would be well.
Mr. Burke slowly took her father's hand, shaking it firmly, and then turned to eye the little girl speculatively.
"My daughter, Remy," Chuck explained.
"Ilsa Cordelia Bass-Waldorf," she added, curtsying once more.
Mr. Burke was serious for a moment before a foreign smile broke out over his face. It was an odd sort of smile. A cruel one. "She's the spitting image of her mother, Charles. Are you sure she's yours?"
Her father's jaw tensed and his shoulders squared. Ilsa didn't like this at all, but she didn't hide behind her father's legs this time. She stood her ground. She did place Prince Albert before her just in case there was an attack.
"Remy," her father spoke, and she knew that tone well and clear. It was a warning. Like when he would warn her about running down the stairs or getting too close to a ledge of their roof, where they would often hold dinner.
"I'm only jesting, of course, Charles. No need to be sensitive. You live too long in the States and you forget you sense of humor. You should move the family out here for a while. Prague would do you good." Mr. Burke took out a cigar and offered one to her father. She eyed the apprehension in her father before he turned to her.
"Princess… I need some time alone with Mr. Burke," her father explained, speaking to her at eye-level. He ran his hand through her curls and met her eyes. "Do you mind –?"
"Phillip, take her to the play room. She can be entertained there while Paxton is out." Mr. Burke answered with a certain degree of finality.
"No, Daddy!" Ilsa urged a whisper to her father, her eyes wide. No amount of play rooms would lure her from her father's side.
"Listen to me, Princess. It'll only be for a little while; the moment we're done, I will rush in to find you," her father assured her and kissed her forehead.
Ilsa's lower lip stuck out and her eyes got large and watery. "What if I'm kidnapped?"
"Then I will rescue you. I swear it," her father said with the slightest hint of a smile on his lips.
Ilsa huffed. Prince Albert was violently upset with this news, but he bravely attempted to keep a straight face. She had to be brave like him and not show her father how terrified she really was of being left alone in a strange city and a dinky old house.
Her father stood high above her and turned her around, pushing her towards the butler. Ilsa turned to look at the two men over her shoulder as the butler guided her away from her father. She always remembered her father's distraught face once he turned back to Mr. Burke.
"I'm going to beg something of you, Remy. It's the one time in my life you'll ever see me beg…"
And then the door closed behind her.
"When I was a child, my father was grander than life. He wore fine suits and loved us very much, but he was a man in charge of the world. As I grew older, I learned more and more about him. I found him irreplaceable, and I understood how my mother could never truly love another quite as she loved him. He loved her with all the passion he had in life. He loved her all or none, and it was always all. When my mother died, when both of their hairs were filled with gray, I worried myself sick for him. I'd never seen a man so broken, not even when he thought he lost her long ago." ~ Ilsa C. Bass

In one case, the lawmakers say that State's most recent draft analysis fails to analyze the specific environmental effects of a spill of the "diluted bitumen" that would be carried from Alberta's oil sands projects, and the effects of this oil on pipeline material.
The State Department should review the matter in consultation with the Transportation Department, states the letter from lawmakers including Earl BlumenauerEarl BlumenauerDems push for tough GMO labeling rule 5 things members of Congress are doing over August recess Lawmakers target horse meat trade MORE (D-Ore.), Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) and Peter WelchPeter WelchDemocrats see ObamaCare leverage in spending fights Group pushes FDA to act on soy milk labeling petition Dems pivot to offering ObamaCare improvements MORE (D-Vt.).
Toner said the department's review is considering the effects of the bitumen on the pipeline.
But the letter calls a supplemental draft environmental review State issued in April inadequate.
"While we appreciate the Department of State's decision to issue a supplemental review, we are concerned that the Department of State has failed to appropriately address issues that were ignored or inadequately analyzed in the first environmental review," it states.
It calls for considering the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions impacts of the pipeline over a 50-year timeframe; whether existing pipeline capacity is adequate; reviewing potential alternative routes that have not yet been considered, and several other matters.
While green groups and the Democrats want a more in-depth review, the State Department is also under pressure to speed up consideration of the proposed 1,700-mile, $7 billion dollar project to expand oil sands imports.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee's GOP leadership is pushing legislation that would require the Obama administration to make a decision by Nov. 1 about whether to approve the project.
A separate, existing Keystone line from Canada into the U.S. was shut down several days ago after a leak in Kansas.
Here is the whole letter from the House Democrats to the State Department and EPA:

Washington, DC 20004
Dear Secretary Clinton and Administrator Jackson,
As members of the House of Representatives who are concerned about the nation's public health and environment, we write to express our concerns regarding the inadequacies of the Department of State's Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) for the Keystone XL Pipeline. We kindly request a meeting with officials from the Department of State to discuss our concerns and to ensure that the Department of State addresses these inadequacies prior to finalizing the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.
In June 2010, dozens of members of the House of Representatives sent the State Department a letter outlining numerous concerns with the permitting process for TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline. The letter expressed concern about the Department of State's failure to adequately consider the project's climate change impacts in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The letter also called for a full lifecycle assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions for tar sands and the cumulative greenhouse gas impacts of the proposed project.
In December of 2010, dozens of members of the House of Representatives sent the Department of State another letter expressing increased concern that the Department of State is inadequately evaluating the pipeline's full environmental impact. The letter urged the Department of State to undertake a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Keystone XL project to ensure that an objective and robust evaluation is conducted.
While we appreciate the Department of State's decision to issue a supplemental review, we are concerned that once again the Department of State has failed to appropriately address issues that were ignored or inadequately analyzed in the first environmental review. Additionally, several new substantive issues have been identified since the release of the first environmental review, and the State Department has a legal obligation to address these issues before the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) process is complete.
In addition to the many concerns that members of Congress have expressed, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has articulated significant concerns, many of which have yet to be addressed. When the EPA reviewed the draft EIS last year, they found the assessment to be inadequate and asked that a new EIS be conducted. In fact, EPA gave the draft EIS its lowest possible rating. After reviewing the SDEIS, we still do not believe that the State Department has sufficiently addressed EPA's concerns.
Therefore, we request that the permitting process continue only after the following conditions are adequately developed, assessed, and incorporated:
• The Department of State should analyze the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions impacts of the Keystone XL pipeline over its fifty year lifetime, not over twenty years. The SDEIS makes a good start in acknowledging that tar sands oil generates significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions from a lifecycle perspective than conventional oil. However, the SDEIS then finds that these emissions do not need to be considered.
• The Department of State should work with the Department of Energy (DOE) to assess the need of the pipeline and how permitting the pipeline aligns with the President's goal to reduce our oil imports. The SDEIS presupposes a need for the pipeline by assuming the U.S. needs more oil. However, there is more than enough existing pipeline capacity to import maximum levels of Canadian tar sands oil for at least the next ten years.
• The Department of State should fully analyze reasonable alternate routes for the project, as is required by NEPA. The SDEIS identifies several unreasonable routes and declines to fully review them. However, reasonable alternatives exist and include routes that are shorter and avoid environmentally sensitive regions. The Department of State should examine routes that begin east of Morgan, MT and should consider completely avoiding the sensitive Sandhills region of the Ogallala aquifer.
• The Department of State should work with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to adequately analyze the pipeline safety risks of diluted bitumen pipelines. The SDEIS analysis fails to analyze the specific environmental impacts of diluted bitumen spills as well as the impacts of diluted bitumen on pipeline material. The State Department should work with the DOT to conduct a thorough, technical safety review.
• The Department of State needs to adequately analyze the impacts of the project to minority and low income populations. The pipeline company TransCanada is willing to pay damages in the event of a spill and will provide alternative drinking sources. While providing compensation is important, it does not take away the requirement for an environmental justice analysis of how to prevent the anticipated contamination. Further, this liability is lower than the estimated cleanup cost for a single major spill. The analysis of the downstream emissions impacts and potential for refinery expansion in response to the project should be expanded.
• The Department of State should provide at least 120 days for public review and hold field hearings in each state through which the pipeline would pass. Without sufficient time for public review and comment and without field hearings, the State Department is failing to meet NEPA's goal of providing the best possible information for public participation.
As members of Congress, we are bound to protect the national interest of this country and its citizens. Given the significant criticism the State Department's environmental reviews have garnered, we encourage the Department of State to exercise due diligence and take the requisite time to adequately address all of the issues listed above. We look forward to meeting with Department of State officials to discuss this important subject.

Statoil and partners in The Iceland Deep Drilling Project have begun to drill a geothermal research well on Iceland. The goal is to explore if high temperature water can be extracted from deep reservoirs for power production.
In a long-term perspective geothermal energy could be a renewable energy source with potential, thus Statoil has research on-going to test the technological and economic viability of this resource. The geothermal research well on Iceland is an important part of this work.
"Research and technology are crucial for Statoil in a short- and long-term perspective, and having the high-beams on means looking many years ahead and beyond current business. Geothermal energy is a renewable resource where we see a potential for leveraging on several of our core competencies from oil and gas such as subsurface, drilling and well and HSE," says Elisabeth B. Kvalheim, Statoil's Chief Technology Officer.
The concept of the research well at Reykjanes is to explore the opportunity to extract renewable energy by drilling wells into reservoirs with high-temperature water heated by the earth's magma.
The well will be the world's hottest geothermal production well. The drilling involves deepening of an existing geothermal well down to a depth of 5 kilometres at the Reykjanes site operated by HS Orka. At this depth superheated steam can be brought to the surface at 400-500° C and used for efficient electricity production in steam turbines.
Head of Renewable research technology in Statoil, Hanne Wigum, explains, "Put it more simply you can compare it to the Earth's radiator system, and geothermal energy is a global resource. Iceland is a world leader in electricity production from geothermal energy and working close together with our partners is of great value to Statoil. Further research will be determined after this project."
The drilling operation is expected to be completed by the end of 2016 at which point the project will enter into a two and a half year test period, where the objective is to confirm reservoir performance, well integrity and power production potential.

FOX Racing Shox 34 Float 27.5+ 140 3Pos-Adj FIT4 Boost Fork (51mm Rake) - 2017 $879.00
Handle anything.
We don't like to play favorites, but we have a hard time arguing that any another wheel size is as versatile as 27.5. It's not that we doubt the capabilities of a 29er barreling down a crater-filled descent or the nimbleness of 26in wheels on a root-latticed climb, but 27.5's are capable of doing both of those things. Their versatility is only complemented further with the addition of a fork like FOX Racing Shox's 2017 34 Float 27.5+ 140 3Pos-Adj FIT4 Boost Fork, which features 51mm of stability-enhancing rake to stabilize your already capable ride.
For 2017, FOX aimed to standardize the technology being offered across its line, adopting Boost spacing, which was only just being introduced last year when it revamped its 2016 line, across the rest of its forks. Since it introduced a few pretty significant changes last year, FOX didn't see a need to overhaul anything for 2017, and the 34 Float's lineup of features remains reassuringly unchanged. With 51mm of rake, you'll enjoy the benefits of reduced trail for your bike, resulting in less "dead" space between the steering axis and hub and a bike that dances, rather than lumbers, across technical lines.
Like last year, the 2017 34 Float includes FOX's FIT4 system for switching between Firm, Medium, and Open settings, which keep the fork riding high in its travel for quick, controlled recovery during everything from big blasts to tight, bumpy stretches. The Open setting provides its own range of sub settings, allowing you to take advantage of the fork's confidence and all of its travel across a diverse mix of trail conditions. Plus, you'll have FOX's self-equalizing air spring, which still enjoys the weight savings of omitting a steel coil.

Reviews & Community
FOX Racing Shox 34 Float 27.5 Boost
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This shock is money! Having come from a 32ctd, it's amazing how much more stiff/plush the fork is. Although the fork is a 27+, I purchased it for 29+. The 29x3.0 bomobloni's fit with ton's of room to spare, not sure how big you could go but I would guess 29x3.5 would fit fine.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Bullseye is a great dog! He's an owner surrender, she loved him very much but got in situation where she could no longer care for him. Bullseye is about 3 years old. He is super with all people and dogs, good on leash and rides well in a car. His mom is pit & dad a beagle. He has a great personality.
Some of Bullseye's favorite treats include bully sticks, peanut butter, hard cookies, and training treats. He knows "come", "crate" and "walk", and is working on "sit", "stay", etc. He could use some basic training, but also seems like a good candidate for therapy dog training!
Bullseye LOVES food, gets very excited and eats very quickly. Someone willing to work on this with him is optimal. He also gets nervous shivers and is very submissive. This poor guy seems to cower if you pick up a stick to throw for him, so he'll need lots of love to help him feel secure.
Bullseye is looking for a loving family to love and nurture him!
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application at survivortails.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
We can only adopt in the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
***Please note we are constantly processing applications and any animal on this page may have a current pending application. We encourage you to submit an application as the availability status of our animals can change at any time***
Bullseye, a Boston Pit Bull Terrier/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier/Beagle for sale in Boston, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier/Beagle dog from a breeder in Boston.

When it comes to making your home look how you want it to, believe it or not, nothing is more important than the floors. Due to a variety of reasons, your floors are often what define a room most. Because of this, when you own your own home, you should consider what type of flooring is best for you. While there is obviously no one right answer, there are some factors that make certain floors more advantageous. Hardwood flooring is one of the best types of flooring, due to a couple of key factors. Still, they are tricky to install, so you need to hire good people, for the job. In the Denver area, T and G Flooring is the most well-regarded hardwood flooring company. They will take the most care, when installing it, not to mention the fact that they will use the best materials and equipment.
Hardwood floors certainly have their advantages, despite the fact that they cost a bit more to install than some other types of flooring. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that they literally make your home more valuable. Because of the fact that they cost more to install and are known for being both practical and aesthetically-charming, hardwood flooring actually adds greatly to the overall value of a home or other property. As a matter of fact, for some home buyers, hardwood flooring is literally the deciding factor, in determining whether or not they make the purchase. The other major practical reason as to why hardwood floors are the more valuable and practical choice is the fact that they are known to last for many years, as long as they are maintained in the proper way.
When it comes to maintenance, hardwood floors are really not that challenging to deal with. In terms of basic cleaning, all they require is sweeping and vacuuming, on a regular basis. As with carpets, you should do this at least once a week and as often as every day. When you do vacuum and sweep, you do have to be a little bit more careful than you would if you were cleaning a tiled or linoleum floor. This is because the finish on hardwood floors, of any kind, is usually very easy to scratch. Even sweeping too hard can leave scratch marks. Though they may seem like only an aesthetic issue, scratches in the finish of your hardwood flooring can actually lead to early deterioration, which is especially bad, since they are supposed to last for years.
One type of hardwood flooring that is becoming incredibly popular, due primary to its artistic and aesthetic value, is reclaimed wood flooring. Reclaimed wood, which is not used exclusively for flooring, is wood that has been taken from older buildings or furniture and turned into usable wood again, by way of a refurbishing process. Reclaimed wood is one of the most expensive types of wood flooring to install, but it also adds to the value of your home, even more, as well.

So this girl, told me that she needs a fourth person for a flat for the next year. We are really good friends for a long time, but i have a huge crush on her... and she has boyfriend and opendly said that she doesn´t love me, and asked me to think about it before taking any desicion. So it´s a really good price, a nice place and a nice room, but i feel that sharing flat with her is gona hurt me in the end. I don´t know what to do. We are still really good friends and enjoy our time together, and we trust eachother to death. But maybe it´s the best way to get over it once for all. Can somone enlighten me?
Most Helpful Guy
I would only accept that if I had absolutely no where else to go. Unless you hook up with someone else, you will never get to move on since you live under the same roof. It will be torture to see her with someone else all the time and end up being nothing but a distraction.00|00|0

BRONCOS coach Anthony Griffin has confirmed Justin Hodges, Josh McGuire and David Stagg will all return from injury for tomorrow's clash with Parramatta Eels in Sydney.
McGuire is returning from a calf strain sustained in the round two win over St George Illawarra, while Hodges is coming back from a groin injury and Stagg is playing his first game in over a month after being sidelined with a knee injury.
The trio completed training at Red Hill this morning and were cleared to travel with the team to Sydney later today.
Griffin said Scott Anderson and Jarrod Wallace would drop out of the 19-man squad named on Tuesday.
"McGuire trained really well this morning. He was probably the most doubtful of them and I just spoke to him in there and he is ready to go," Griffin said.
"It's been a long week so it's given us an opportunity to freshen up. We're looking forward to getting on the plane and getting down there."
The Broncos are keen to bounce back after last week's loss to South Sydney and with just three more games until the Origin season strikes Brisbane need to stockpile victories before rep fatigue hits the club.
"We're not interested in what is happening in a month's time," Griffin said.
"We're not looking for any discounts or expecting any.
"We're looking to play really well and play a tough brand of football to be a chance of beating Parramatta this weekend."
