King Size Memory Foam Mattress Tempurpedic in Parkhurst the brand carries different models and designs for different preferences. A lot of research has been put into these mattresses to ensure the quality and effectiveness of a great mattress. Because of the advanced research and design of the mattress, Tempurpedic Lowest Price the pricing on them can be much higher than most people expect to pay for a mattress. The key to being able to afford a Tempur-Pedic mattress is to look for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale.
Sales allow consumers to purchase these mattresses for lower than retail prices. This also makes it so people that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it can afford a mattress that is comfortable and state of the art. The first step I would take in looking for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale is by collecting store ads as they come in the mail. Furniture and mattress stores often mail out flyers and catalogues of their store items and display current or upcoming sales. These catalogues can prepare you to know about the sale and to also price shop based on the different store ads you receive.

You should also see which of the types of Tempur-Pedic mattresses you prefer, as well if you are interested in any of the extras they offer.

The way to find out if a bed website might be able to help you with your particular bed search, pretend for a moment a wholesale murphy bed is your specific item, is to discover if the site contains a categorised bed section and a good number of bed articles, if in fact it does supply this type of things then obtaining a bed that is suitable will be easy, if however the site is about a common home improvement topic then it is unlikely you will come up with your required bed targeted help. A large amount of bed targeted guides you will locate online are all about assisting people to buy specific bed items such as metal frame twin beds and king size bed frames, searching for this type of bed guidance can often turn out to be very frustrating indeed.

A sizeable number of bed associated searches may buy have led you to a bed or interior design focused site, searches like "find heavy duty bed frames" or "reviews on water bed sheets", the main secret with any home improvement directory is to go straight to the site menu, if you take this advice you should not be side tracked because of bed reviews which are not connected to the bed you require. The easiest way to tell if a bed site may be able to assist you with your particular bed search, lets say that a double bed frame is your specific item, is to learn if the site contains a targeted bed directory and a fair number of bed articles, provided it does supply these types of things then you are clearly in with a chance, if however the site is targeted at a general interior design subject you are perhaps less likely to get your required bed related guidance.

Beds: Shopping Online at Speed
Tempurpedic Mattresses are one of the best quality mattresses available on the market. They are not cheap but in my view, worth every cent. Most people looking to buy tempurpedic mattress do not have an idea of what to look for when buying. This article will attempt to address that problem.
There are two things you should be aware of before buying a tempurpedic mattress. They are foam density and ILD (Indention Load Deflection).
Memory Foam Density
Memory foam density is simply how much one cubic foot of memory foam weigh. Most tempurpedic mattress has a memory foam density of 5 lb. The problem with that is some people feel 5 lb foam density is too tough and firm, so other mattresses are introduced offering 4lb and even 3 lb density.
This is an important indication as to the tempurpedic mattress you are buying is genuine or fake. So make sure you ask the seller before buying a tempurpedic mattresses.
It is important you understand these 2 terms before you buy a tempurpedic mattress especially online where there are many sellers selling fake tempurpedic mattress.

1. Mix vinegar and baking soda in small bowl. Slowly add cornstarch and glycerin.
2. Pour one teaspoon into each paper cup. Let dry overnight.
3. After they've dried, add food color. The color isn't as deep when it dries, so remember to add a lot of food color.
4. Dip a small paint brush into some water, and then into your paint. Use good construction paper that will soak up some of the water.

Thank you for posting this. I went to Kim and Hong's site and was amazed at all the interesting Vietnamese dishes I'd never heard of before. And some that use rice flour (no wheat!) I want to try the Banh Xeo, the savory crepes made with rice flour. I'm of Northern European descent in my family and have never been exposed to the Vietnamese culture (beyond a bowl of Pho that is). What a great site Ravenous Couple is.

This is our last week of our book club discussion of Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (AKA The Bloggess). We will be taking break in July and then in August the book club will return with a new format. In August, I will be leading the discussion of A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. In September, GeekMom Ariane will be leading the discussion of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
But to finish up our discussion of Let's Pretend This Never Happened, I pose the following questions:
When Jenny find out that she has a rare form of rheumatoid arthritis, she starts seeking out alternative medicines to help her with the pain. What do you think about alternative medicine and Jenny's description of going to get acupuncture? At what level of pain do you think you would consider alternatives to traditional medicine?
What were your favorite stories from this book?
Please weigh in with your thoughts here or at our GeekMom Goodreads group! You can also start out by answering the questions from Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3. Feel free to ask any other questions that come up as you read Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (AKA The Bloggess).

I mentioned last week that I'll be working on some traditional blocks with the help of some templates that were very generously given to me by my friends at Simplicity. I finally got the chance to play with some the other day, and first up is the Simpli-EZ Double Wedding Ring Template, designed by Darlene Zimmerman.
The Double Wedding Ring is one of those traditional patterns that I love, but I've always been too intimidated to try. Here's why: lots of cutting, curved piecing, and y-seams, oh my! Seriously, there is a lot of irregular cutting and curved sections, and I couldn't even imagine doing all that with just a pair of scissors.
So, you can guess how excited I was when I learned about this template, which allows you to cut everything with a rotary cutter. Pretty cool, right?
So, you can guess how excited I was when I learned about this template, which allows you to cut everything with a rotary cutter. Pretty cool, right?
For my fabrics, I used a solid white cotton and some charm pieces of Kate Spain's Flurry. I don't have the time to make a whole quilt right now, so I thought it would be fun to make a Double Wedding Ring pillow for Christmas out of one or two blocks.
The set consists of three templates: the large one that is used for the curved sections and the four-patch squares, and two smaller wedge-shaped templates that make up the rings. The manufacturer recommends that you use a 45mm or smaller rotary cutter, but I used my 60mm one without any problems. Just go slow!
Using the large template, you cut curves along each side of a square...
and you end up with this. In a matter of seconds!
The same template is used to cut the smaller curved sections in the block.
So in just a couple of minutes, you're well on your way to making your block.
This template also creates the squares that make up the four patch parts of the pattern.
And then there are two smaller templates for creating the parts that make up the rings. For this section, I layered a few charm squares on top of each other, so I could cut them out even more quickly.
It literally took me less than five minutes to cut all of these out.
Once the pieces are cut out, you can arrange them in the order that you like, and then begin to stitch them together.
Much easier than I had expected!
After the wedges are sewn together to form an arc, the arc is pinned and sewn to one of the smaller curved pieces.
But, you'll notice that it doesn't look like they'll line up, right? The arc looks a lot smaller than the white curved piece. At first I was afraid that I had made a mistake...
but if you line up and match both pieces in the center and continue to pin along the entire length
it works! The curve pieces ease together and it's a perfect fit.
That's as far as I got on my Double Wedding Ring block, because I'm working on some big projects whose deadlines are fast approaching. But I'm really pleased (and surprised!) with how easy it was to make with the templates. I can't wait to finish this one, and one of these days, I'm going to find the time to make a full size Double Wedding Ring Quilt.

I'm not usually a fan of gimmicks. But if the sole purpose of a gimmick is to save some extra cash, I guess I'm OK with it.
We talked about this recently, but there seems to be a heightened interest in frugality lately. Maybe that's why I've noticed a whole crop of money-saving challenges popping up all over the Internet, from personal finance blogs to Pinterest.
And then, the other day, my boyfriend asked: "Have you heard of this thing called the 52-week challenge?"
I was a little surprised. My boyfriend doesn't spend much time on the Internet, and he doesn't keep up with personal-finance trends. Turns out, a friend of his mentioned the challenge during a recent hangout, as he and his wife are giving it a go.
It looks like the latest frugal gimmick has transcended the Internet and made its way into my real life. And I'm all for it.
Why I like money-saving challenges
I know, I know. These challenges are, as I said, gimmicky. And gimmicks are usually passing trends. As financially savvy people, we're supposed to focus on slow and steady, not new and trendy.
But the topic of personal finance could use a little more attention. Our culture could stand to be a little more aware of frugality and our finances. So if it takes a gimmick to get people to realize saving is important, I'm OK with that.
Another reason I like these challenges is they promote accountability. A lot of people who take on the challenges share their progress online, or they take them on with a friend. We've mentioned this a couple of times in the past: Keeping like-minded company is important on the road to financial security.
So I welcome these money-saving challenges. And, as a frugal geek who enjoys looking for new ways to save, I have to admit, they are kind of exciting. I have my conservative saving habits, sure. But what's so bad about adding a little fun to saving? And maybe even saving a little extra in the process?
The Jar Challenge
Growing up, my parents kept a water cooler jug full of spare change in their closet. I have no idea where the jug came from, because we never owned a water cooler. I think it was a leftover from my stepdad's bachelor apartment.
Anyway, all three of us — my mom, stepdad and I — would feed this jug all of our extra change. It took years to fill it up. Well, maybe not years. Time moves slower when you're a child, so maybe it was more like months. Whatever the time frame, it was a challenge in patience to wait for that jug to fill up. My parents always said we'd use the money to buy something special. But, for me, the reward wasn't even what made it fun.
Truthfully, I have no recollection of anything special we bought with that money. But I do remember coming home from school, excited to roll quarters and nickels and dimes, and then do the math. Hundreds of dollars. For that brief period, I felt like we were rich.
Pinterest is rife with creative spinoffs of the jar challenge. And, of course, Bank of America has an automatic program for this — Keep the Change. You can easily replicate Keep the Change by using only bills to pay for your expenses. When you get change back, put it in a jar.
You can give yourself a time-based goal — How much change can I save in three months? — or you can give yourself a visual goal, like we did with the water cooler — How much will I save when this puppy is full?
Buy Nothing Year … or month
My mom was inspired by the story of Julie Phillips and Geoff Szuszkiewicz, two Calgary roommates who resolved to buy nothing but essentials for an entire year.
After reading my interview with them, my mom made it her New Year's resolution to only spend money on necessities.
"I just want to see if I can do it," she said. "And I'm curious to see how much I can save."
I talk to my mom at least once a week, and at least once a week she tells me about some shopping item she was tempted to buy but didn't.
"I found a gold tray at Ross," she told me. "It was in the shape of a squirrel. I was going to buy it for you. But I decided not to."
I was profoundly disappointed about not having a gold squirrel platter, but I was proud of my mom for sticking with her resolution. So far, she's probably saved over a couple hundred bucks only buying what she needs: food, toiletries, gasoline, etc. Most people would probably save more than that. My mom just doesn't buy a lot of Stuff to begin with.
A couple of years ago, a reader shared her own version of this challenge. She called it Superfrugality Month:
"Every year in February, once the holidays are over and life is slowly returning to normal, my boyfriend and I undertake a project that helps us stop lifestyle inflation and save on the order of $300 each for the month. We call this exercise 'Superfrugality Month' and the rules are pretty simple.
We don't spend any money on non-essentials during the month of February. Once March first rolls around, we can spend money on wants again. That's it in a nutshell."
It's simple, but I like this challenge. I like the idea of challenging yourself to a life of bare necessities. Yes, it's probably an unrealistic long-term habit. But I think it's a good experiment in making yourself a more mindful consumer. When you're forced to resist your shopping urges, you think more about your spending habits. The more aware you are of your spending, the more control you have over it.
There's nothing wrong with spending; but I, for one, could use a little more controlled spending.
The 52-Week Challenge
This one seems to be the most popular, and I'm sure most of you have probably heard of it. But I mentioned it above, so I figure it deserves a quick recap:
You start saving at the beginning of the year. You save according to what week it is. So the first week of the year, you save $1. The second week, you save $2. On the last week of the year, you save $52. And, by the end of the year, you will have $1,378 saved.
Sure, you could just save your money and put $1,378 in your savings account at any given time. But where's the fun in that?
Another thing I like about this challenge is that it gives you a weekly, recurring savings goal. It might be small amount, but it's a great way to save when you don't have much to save. It's also a great way to save if you're new at saving or aren't particularly good at it. You gradually become a better saver.
Anyway, I know not everyone is a fan of these monthly challenges, and I understand that long-term habits beat fads. On the other hand, these challenges make us question our limits, they make us question our spending, and they boost our savings routine.
But what do you think? Do you approve of money challenges? If so, what are some of your favorites?

Suppliers Will Play Key Role in Growth Story as P&W and UTC Prepare for Increase in Capacity
Sergio Loureiro, vice president, Strategic Sourcing and Contracts, recently spoke to Connecticut business leaders and government representatives at the Department of Economic and Community Development's (DECD) Manufacturing Day held at the Connecticut Open tennis tournament. During the event, he highlighted how Pratt & Whitney and UTC are actively seeking suppliers who are willing to invest in their manufacturing capabilities and people.
"At Pratt & Whitney and across UTC's aerospace divisions, we are preparing for an unprecedented increase in production. The ramp-up for supply chain is happening today. We've already sourced more than $10 billion of work and we are only about half-way there," said Loureiro. "Suppliers willing to invest in their manufacturing capabilities and who can deliver to our cost, quality and delivery requirements can join our growth story. However, those who want to join us must act quickly. We are signing several long-term agreements each week."
DECD Commissioner Catherine Smith also spoke at the event, noting the critical role that manufacturing plays in Connecticut's economy. One of the themes highlighted by Smith and Loureiro was the importance of making investments in technology, facilities and people. They discussed how the aerospace industry is an ecosystem where manufacturers, suppliers, government and schools depend on each other. This ecosystem thrives when investments are made by all organizations.
Smith and Loureiro discussed the investments UTC and the state are making through the Connecticut Aerospace Reinvestment Act. Under this agreement, UTC will invest up to $500 million to upgrade and expand its aerospace, development and research facilities. UTC also expects to invest up to $4 billion in research and other capital expenditures in Connecticut.

Picture: Donald Trump 9th Annual 'Dressed To Kilt' charity fashion show at Hammerstein Ballroom - Arrivals. New York City, USA - 05.04.11
Donald Trump has sparked a war of words with Jerry Seinfeld after the comedian pulled out of an appearance at an upcoming charity fundraiser.
The funnyman was due to perform at a benefit for The Eric Trump Foundation, run by the mogul's son, in September (11), but cancelled after Donald began publicly questioning President Barack Obama's citizenship.
The real estate tycoon, who is considering a possible presidential run, has been vocal about his disapproval of the country's leader and has raised doubts over whether Obama was born in the U.S.
A furious Trump fired off an angry letter to Seinfeld on Wednesday (20Apr11), telling him he ought to be "ashamed" for withdrawing from the gala, benefiting the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Trump writes, "I just learned you cancelled a show for my son's charity because of the fact that I am being very aggressive with respect to President Obama, who is doing an absolutely terrible job as our leader."
The Apprentice star then goes on the attack by admitting he wished he had axed his appearance on Seinfeld's TV series The Marriage Ref.
Trump adds, "We don't care that you broke your commitment even though the children of St. Jude are very disappointed, and despite the fact that your manager clearly stated you are 'truly a man of his word'.
"What I do feel badly about is that I agreed to do, and did, your failed show, The Marriage Ref, even though I thought it was absolutely terrible... Despite its poor ratings, I didn't cancel on you like you cancelled on my son and St. Jude. I only wish I did. You should be ashamed of yourself!"
Seinfeld made a contribution to both the Eric Trump Foundation and St. Jude after cancelling his slot.
There's a zing of postmodern fun to be had while watching a film that documents...
The very fact that the trailers and commercials for "Two Weeks Notice" feature Sandra Bullock...

The issue of an apparent road closure in the Indian Creek area by the Bureau of Land Management was again at the forefront of the weekly meeting of the Commission.
County resident Marilyn Boynton brought the issue back to the commission based on her concern that a March 14 article in the San Juan Record made it seem as though everyone was accusing Tom Heinlein, BLM Field Office Manager in Monticello, of lying to the Commission.
Boynton said she had researched the issue and was told that the berms in the area were created mainly by dirt excavated during the construction of a restroom facility. She said an EA was not necessary because they were just dumping dirt on the ground to create the berms. Boynton said that she did not believe the BLM was being untruthful regarding the apparent closure of the route.
Commissioner Bruce Adams expressed concern over the March 12 meeting when the BLM drew a small blue line where the GPS indicated was the site of the road.
"The problem is this: when the county GPS'd the road they weren't trying to GPS for exactness of where that road was, but generally where the route took you," said Adams.
He said that holding the county to exact GPS coordinates causes concern because there is an intention by the county to preserve the route and not specifically an exact point.
County Surveyor David Bronson said the GPS was done in 1999. Resident Monte Wells said anyone who claims that the GPS on the road is exactly where the blue line is "is an idiot... It can't be done. It's impossible."
Wells said that map-grade GPS technology can pinpoint an area but not an exact location, which would require survey grade equipment.
Adams said there had been a washout in the area at some point, and people were no longer able to take the original route. He is unsure if the county was ever aware that a washout had occurred.
Adams said the BLM was trying to force people to go into the washout area by putting up berms rather than contacting the county to take their trail cat and fix the original route.
BLM employee Maxine Deeter said that at some point in the past, a puddle in the route grew so large that the pro-wilderness "Great Old Broads" requested it be designated as a lake.
Deeter said it was huge at one time, but added that you could drive through the washout area now.
Lyman said the BLM had overstepped and made an obvious heavy-handed maneuver for which they should apologize. Lyman said the BLM wants a joint statement that the County made a mistake, with which he disagrees.
"I think the citizens of San Juan County have a right to go out and enjoy the countryside," said Lyman. "When it comes to the roads, those belong to the county and we can manage them."
Lyman expressed frustration that if a person comes upon a washout and takes a shovel and fixes the problem as a good citizen, "the BLM says that's illegal. You're not allowed to move a rock or touch a stick, and to me that's the part that's unacceptable. ...Individual citizens of San Juan County no longer have a right to think and act for themselves."
Wells was the area resident who originally reported the closure. He said that he reported the problem to the BLM as soon as it was found, at which time they stated a mistake had been made. Then they went out and opened the road by removing the berms.
"They didn't open up the road next to it that had been washed out for years that didn't have any traffic on it. They opened up the berm that they had closed and put the sign on," said Wells. "If anybody else in this county . . . would have done the same thing they would be in jail or facing fines like we have seen. Instead we have an agency that has covered up their mistake, making accusations that are totally unfounded."
Boynton suggested the county request that citizens report roads that are washed out or impassible, so they can be fixed and these types of problems avoided.
Deeter and Adams both said the BLM and the county do receive tips and work together to repair them as quickly as possible. Boynton said she was told that "the BLM is going to be totally hardnosed that if there is a route, you are supposed to stay on the route."
In other business, Shawnmarie Powell and Jennifer Dobula requested the county form a committee to see what can be done to support afterschool programs. Powell discussed the need for afterschool programming in local schools and the benefit it provides for students in need.
Powell reported that an afterschool program is offered at Bluff Elementary. The program is funded by a Workforce Services Grant, which will expire this year. Powell said they will apply for an "Aspire" grant with permission from San Juan School District. The $31,000 grant requires a $3,100 cash match, which Powell reports has already been raised.
Commissioner Adams asked if the school district was approached regarding the grant. Powell said the district chose not to apply for the Aspire grant. Powell suggested the county could be the agency to receive and allocate grant funding to the afterschool program in Bluff.
Commissioner Lyman said he is concerned that the request is an attempt to make a "deliberate end run around the school district."
Powell said the District gave them permission to seek the grant, but did not want to administer the grant. Lyman said that it would make more sense for the school district to be the agent since it is their facility, and they are responsible for the students.
The commission expressed appreciation for the work but are hesitant to step in without the blessing of the San Juan School District. They asked Powell to seek a letter of support from the school district before they move forward on the issue.

Jamespatrickcarroll3 brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 39 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Red Cup
We are launching a new company that Internationally supplies Red Cups and everything that goes along with them. That includes drinking games (like beer pong), party themes, party outfits, and other fun suggestions. We will be targetting International cultures who look to America as the trend setter. With that in mind, we want to incorporate America into the brand. Creating an EXTREMELY strong brand is essential so that we can sustain competitors and be the go-to-company and website for ALL!
Our market is English-speaking International demographics in the ages between 18 and 30. This would include those from England, parts of Europe, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, etc. Ideally, we will be targetting University aged individuals.
Size wise: I really want a logo that can fit on the bottom of a Red Cup (picture attached in case you are not familiar).
This logo would also accompany the website, business cards, brochures, etc. All this said, it needs to be:
1. eye catching: We need to stand out so if we flyer, we will be noticed
2. college friendly: nothing fancy or dry...more fun and trendy
3. 'cool': give the vibe of coolness so our company can get street cred
4. interested in it saying "Red Cup" in the logo but not required
5. When using colors (and I would like that) match the same shade of red color as the typical 'red cup' (picture attached)
6. As mentioned earlier, we want to incorporate America/American into the logo (star, flag, etc.)...have some fun with this one!
Note: If I like the designer's work on this logo, I may bring him on for salary/equity/mix in the company. Expansion is the name of the game so we'll need someone accountable.

Last month I mused (and yes, "muse" is a verb) that a command-line download manager would be a nifty thing to have. It could run easily on the weakest of hardware, doing a job that doesn't require much oomph, and certainly doesn't require a huge system to perform.
Most conventional downloads are handled by the browser though, which means that a download "client" would have to be able to read a link, most likely from a text file, and do all the work that follows.
Blice on the Ubuntu Forums took up the idea, and has come up with fttps, which is a simple Python application that periodically reads the contents of a text file, downloads the links pasted there, and pushes the results into a specific location. It's something that has been in the works for part of a month now, and the end product is very exciting.
Screenshot courtesy of a 750Mhz Thinkpad with a shattered display. 😉 As you can see, fttps in its early state has a very simple interface controlled with the cursor keys, a file display and a progress bar. It shows elapsed time and time remaining, as well as a download rate and file progress.
It pauses downloads with the p key, resumes with r, and the x in brackets on the left indicates which file you're controlling. When the file is finished, the download stops and the links pasted in the control file — fttps.queue — are removed.
You can configure the program with the fttpsettings.py file, and most of the settings there are self-explanatory. If you want to keep a text file open and just keep resaving it with new links, fttps is smart enough to check if a link has been downloaded already, and skip it if that's the case.
You can also customize the display to show whatever information you prefer, or to omit the display altogether if you just want to run it in the background.
As an example of how to arrange it, I have fttps running on my rtorrent slave in a separate terminal window. That machine is an NFS server, and I keep the fttps.queue file in the same folder where I drop torrents — ~/watch. I can open the queue file from another machine, paste a link into it, save the file, and from across the room I can see that machine open the file and start downloading. When it's finished, fttps puts the file in the same folder as rtorrent puts its downloaded files.
A side bonus is that if I want to seed a torrent that I can actually download faster with a direct link (yes, that is sometimes the case when you're on a residential-to-fiber optic line 😈 ) I can hand the download link to fttps, and give the torrent to rtorrent when the file is finished. rtorrent will check the file integrity and start seeding immediately, and I don't have to wait for peers to connect to. It's instamatic!
It sounds like Blice is eager to get feedback on the program, and to get suggestions for new features. I already mentioned md5 checks, but that might be an extra step if the hash code has to be copied into a different file. It might also need some additional controls or the ability to resume broken downloads. If you have ideas, relay them through the Ubuntu Forums.
And if you're a coder, you might see if Blice wants help putting it together. This is one of those rare opportunities to join a project at the ground level, in a slender niche that seems to be thus far unattended. You might be breaking new ground. It's so fresh, it doesn't even have version numbers yet. 😉
If I have time in the next few days, I'm going to rewire my ancient Fujitsu laptop, and see if I can get it running as the download client. It will be slow and the hard drive is way too small to be a practical host for this, but in the interest of science, it needs to be done.
P.S.: I expect, since this is Python-based, it will run on other operating systems aside from Linux. Report in, if it's working for you. … 😉
Edit, 2009-12-27: As Xyzzy mentions below, it appears blice's site has gone offline, taking the source code for fttps with it. But, your friendly neighborhood K.Mandla, with nerves of steel and a certain foresight about things disappearing from the Internet, had the mental wherewithal to stash copies of all the "releases" blice made. Here is the link for the most recent version (the "0.4" numbering is mine alone; blice posted three earlier versions before that one) that has the pause and restart options; if you want earlier ones (I can't imagine why) let me know and I will furnish links. Cheers!

What exactly is this growing sport called enduro racing? Mtbr got to experience it first hand as we not only observed but also participated in the Enduro World Series #4 in Winter Park, Colorado. Winter Park is a bike park much like Whistler Bike Park in British Columbia so this stage promised some downhill and lift-assisted riding in the mix.
But make no mistake, this is no downhill race. This race was dominated by six-inch travel bikes with all wheel sizes represented. A common theme was most bikes were around 30 lbs in weight or lower. Rough downhill terrain and big jumps were present, but cross-country terrain with lots of pedaling were in the mix as well.
Each stage is run like a time trial, with riders going out 30 seconds apart. All the elapsed times for each rider's stages are added together for an overall time. The rider with the lowest overall time wins the race. Each stage has a little bit of a different flavor focusing on downhill or pedaling, but the key components on the bike (frame, wheels, and fork) can not be altered. Thus, consistency is key for a good run at the overall win.
Video: Day 1 of Enduro World Series #4, Winter Park
Day 1
Frenchman Jerome Clementz and Brit Tracy Moseley jumped out to early leads on day one of the three-day Enduro World Series event being contested as part of the Colorado Freeride Festival on the twisting steep trails of Winter Park Resort high in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
Video: Day 2 of Enduro World Series #4, Winter Park
Day 2
Frenchman Jerome Clementz (Cannondale OverMountain) and Brit Tracy Moseley (Trek Factory Racing) each posted the fastest times in a long, rocky, chunky natural terrain-laden Stage 3a, helping both maintain their respective leads over Nicolas Vouilloz (Lapierre) and Anne-Caroline Chausson (Ibis) in the men's and women's open divisions. Stage 3b — contested lower down on the mountain on a series of jump-laden machine made trails — went to Jared Graves (Yeti) and Chausson.
Video: Day 3 of Enduro World Series #4, Winter Park
Day 3
Clementz won just one of the event's five stages, but was second, third, fourth and ninth on the other four, which helped him score a commanding 37-second overall triumph ahead of second-placed Nicolas Vouilloz (Lapierre). Fabien Barel (Canyon) made it a 1-2-3 sweep for France, slotting third at 0:42. Clementz's total time was 41:12.455.
Trek's Moseley put on a similarly dominating performance, besting famed Frenchwoman Anne-Caroline Chausson (Ibis) by 39 seconds. Chausson actually won the stage win battle 3-to-2. But just like Clementz, Moseley smoked the long and grueling stage 3, putting more than 38 seconds into her top rival.
Video: Official Video from Enduro World Series
By the end of the weekend, we captured charm of Enduro racing. It wasn't a five-minute downhill race dominated by human missles hurtling down a rocky hillside. And it wasn't a cross-country race dictated by roadies riding in a pack. Rather it is a weekend of many opportunities and mishaps, many option lines, rocks, jumps and fastest routes. It is an event where time can be gained with superior descending and jumping skills as well as thousands of watts of short burst power or endurance on day three on short climb or flat section.
It is an event filled with challenge, fun, planning and hanging out with friends on the kind of riding one would be doing anyway on their own time.

Single cask #38471. This is an excellent value 39-year old cask strength single grain whiskey from the Edinburgh distillery North British. Bottled by Duncan Taylor, Rare Auld series.
Tasting Notes
No tasting notes at present.
North British Distillery
North British Single Grain Whisky
North British Distillery was established on farmland to the west of Edinburgh in 1885 by Andrew Usher, John M. Crabbie and William Sanderson. Since then the city has expanded ever outwards and now the distillery resides in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh. North British opened in 1887 to guarantee supplies of grain whisky for its owner's cordials and scotch whisky blending businesses. It is equipped with four Coffey stills to produce grain spirit at 94.5% alcohol and multi-million litres of spirit annually. Whilst most of its whisky matures in racked warehouses in the central Lowlands, a small number of casks spend at least eight years at the distillery in dunnage Warehouse No.1. Official releases are very few but excellent independent ones are available from Hart Brothers and Hunter Laing.

I first visited Childs Park, near Dingmans Ferry, around 1975.
I first visited Childs Park, near Dingmans Ferry, around 1975.
I was impressed with the multi-level waterfalls and the built-in steps and walkways that made hiking the densely wooded ravine less treacherous. My favorite hike was to visit each waterfall along the trail, resisting the urge to look back, then to finally turn to witness the spectacular view of several falls cascading all at once.
The park has recently undergone extensive renovations, and I couldn't help but wonder about its benefactor, George W. Childs.
George William Childs was born May 12, 1829, in Baltimore.
He rose from humble, obscure beginnings to become a millionaire, rubbing elbows with the likes of President Grover Cleveland, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Walt Whitman.
Two of his closest friends were Anthony J. Drexel (1826-1893) — the Wall Street banker and founder of Drexel University — and Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), who often stayed at Childs' house when visiting Philadelphia, and at whose funeral Childs was a pallbearer.
Childs' parentage is unclear.
Even in his autobiography, "Recollections" (1890), he makes no mention of his parents or the circumstances of his birth.
I found a source claiming he was the unacknowledged son of a prominent Baltimore man, and another clue claims that he was given his father's name — but there is no mention at all of his mother.
At the age of 12, he was employed as an errand boy in a Baltimore bookstore.
He joined the Navy at the age of 13 under the Apprentice Act and spent 15 months at Norfolk, then resigned with a complimentary letter sent by his superior, Lt. William D. Porter, to his aunt (unnamed) who had reared him.
At age 14, Childs was living in Philadelphia where years of hard work and successful business ventures would allow him to purchase the floundering Philadelphia Public Ledger in 1864.
About that time, he married Emma Bouvier Peterson (1843-1928), the daughter of one of his former partners. They had no children.
Not only did Childs make the Ledger a success, but he shared his good fortune by implementing many progressive labor practices — securing pensions and life insurance for his employees, providing financial support for housing, and even refusing to accept an offer from the Typographers Union to reduce employee wages during the depression of 1878.
Among his many philanthropic gifts, he donated several stained-glass memorial windows at churches in London for poets such as Milton, as well as a memorial fountain at Stratford-on-Avon to honor the birthplace of Shakespeare.
He was the largest contributor to the Edgar Allan Poe monument in Baltimore.
George William Childs died in Philadelphia on Feb. 3, 1894.
At the time, one newspaper reported that he was worth $13 million. (Today, that estate, adjusted for inflation, would be worth $340 million.) Other published accounts estimated his estate at $200,000 or $1,250,000 or $6,000,000.
He was temporarily laid to rest in the Drexel Mausoleum at Woodland Cemetery, until 1896, when his remains were moved to the newly completed Childs mausoleum at Laurel Hill Cemetery.
At his funeral, J.P. Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt were among the 35 gentlemen selected as pallbearers.
Childs purchased 53 acres in Pike County in 1892, and created Childs Park, a rural retreat for the benefit of the public.
In 1912, his widow, Emma Childs, deeded the property over to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and since 1983 it has been part of the National Park Service.

On Gen. Grant:
"I never heard him express an impure thought or make an indelicate illusion. There is nothing I ever heard him say that could not be repeated in the presence of women."
"Meanness is not necessary to success in business, but economy is."
"Some of the best writers on my paper are the women editors of it and there is not one of them who is not paid for her work exactly as though she were a man. I believe fully in this. It is true that women have, in many quarters, been underpaid for their labors; but I am convinced, from evidences I have seen, that this state of things is gradually becoming less. Let women be given a fair chance in business."

I know that we can rotate a deformable object using internal forces only in space. Thus we can cause an angular displacement without the use of any external forces.
The following youtube video shows are real life example to do so - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWbpyjJqrU
My question is
Can we do the same with linear motion also? By that I mean, can we cause a displacement in an object using only internal forces. I could not think of such a setup. And if we can what makes the angular displacement more special than linear displacement?

Weight is a great enemy of healthy life. Once our weight increases, it becomes very tough to reduce it. When we reach at the age of 30 and above, reducing weight becomes much harder. It is not really so easy to maintain a stable weight. But yes, reducing weight can be possible if we maintain some rules and regulations in our meals or type of food. Here I'm going to share some tips that help to reduce fat and also helps to remain healthy.
- Waking up from sleep at morning at first drink the mixture of one tea spoon honey, two tea spoon lime and half cup warm water.
- Before every meal, drink one or two glass of water.
- Keep fibers containing food in your daily diet.
- Choose sea food or deep sea fish instead of other fish or meat.
- After your meal, drink a cup of wine or tea without milk and sugar.
- Choose seasonal sour fruits instead of drinking fruit juice.
- Try to complete your dinner before 7 pm.
- Perform regular exercise.
If you cannot avoid invitations in programs then:
- Drink a glass of water before you take meal.
- Take enough salad.
- Avoid extra fat.
- When you return home, drink lime juice without sugar in warm water.
- Avoid soft drinks.
I'll suggest you to maintain these small tips and lose fat. Lead a healthy life.
Find out more tips from my health care reviews. Stay tuned.

So I'm sure you've noticed by now if you've ever seen pics of Rajon Rondo off the court that he has his own unique look. One of Rondo's sponsors, Red Bull, took a deeper look at this topic.
Rondo can pull off this look because, frankly, the only person he's out to impress is himself. It takes a certain amount of confidence to be a sartorialist, and it's the kind of moxie Rondo has in excess. He's the basketball iconoclast who doesn't dress how you expect or play how you expect.You can read the whole piece here, but my question to you this morning is what do you think of the "Rondo Style?"

What is going on?[edit]
The Occupy Movement[edit]
The Occupy movement is an international protest movement which is primarily directed against social inequality and economic injustice. [1]
Hacker Spaces[edit]
A hackerspace or hackspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace or creative space) is a location where people with common interests, often in computers, technology, science, or digital or electronic art (but also in many other realms) can meet, socialize and/or collaborate. Hackerspaces can be viewed as open community lab incorporating elements of machining, workshops and/or studios where hackers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. [2] Note that while Noisebridge offers some resources for Occupiers, it is not a crashpad.
Hackupy are hack session or group collaboration days/nights operated by local hacker spaces with a focus on building infrastructure, technology, and general discussion regarding the Occupy Movement happening in the same or nearby city. Think of BarCamp but with Occupy in mind.
Additionally Hackupy.org is providing a list of hackerspaces open to those looking for help from Occupations across the world.
Hackupy at Noisebridge[edit]
Noisebridge is open more or less 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to the general public. This also includes anyone want to work on projects involving the occupancy. Please feel free to drop by with your projects whenever, but the more hospitable nights are Mondays - Thursdays. Please check our for details on classes that might pertain to your particular craft or need.
Discussion List[edit]
We initially created the PowerStation-discuss list as a place to talk about one of our Hackupy projects. As more and more projects sprouted up, we've been using that list as a place for general Hackupy discussion. Please feel free to use that list until we figure out something else to use.
Hackupy.org has a discuss list of its own, primarily for discussion of generalized projects with other spaces.
Current Hackupy Projects[edit]
- Internet Box - Providing internet for general use at Bradley Manning Plaza
- General meetup for OccupySF internet sites
- PowerStation - Mobile power for the masses from recharging phones to powering lights and laptops
- Noisebridge Satellite Tents - A hacker space at OccupySF
- OccupyProjects.org Redmine installation available for hosting Occupy-related projects - for info email media `at` occupyoakland.org
- Tokyo Hackerspace has gifted Noisebridge with a couple of 12V to USB chargers

Owen Oyston
Life Path Number 8
Owen Oyston is a male celebrity.
He was born on Saturday March 24th 1934, in Unknown.
Owen Oyston is gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. He has great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business and financial matters. Owen understands the material world; he intuitively knows what makes virtually any enterprise work. His talent lies not with the bookkeeping or petty management, but with the greater vision, it's purpose, and long range goals.
Oyston is a visionary and a bit reckless. He possesses the ability to inspire people to join him in his quest, but often they are incapable of seeing what he sees. Therefore, those around Owen Oyston need his continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. Owen must prod them into action and direct them along the lines of his vision.
Owen Oyston attracts financial success more than any other Life Path, but effort is still required.
His challenge in life is to achieve a high degree of detachment, to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind. Those born with the Number 8 Life Path who do not understand the real and relative value of money are bound to suffer the consequences of greed; they run the risk of losing it all!
Owen Oyston must learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. He has the character and resilience of a true survivor. It is not uncommon for a person with Owen's Life Path to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies, financial failure, but he also have the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises. More than most people, Oyston's failures in marriage can be extremely expensive for him.
Despite the difficulties that life presents, Owen Oyston will experience the satisfaction that comes from material wealth and the power that comes with it.
Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit Owen best. He is naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership - Politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where his abilities can shine.
Oyston is a good judge of character, which aids him well in attracting the right people to him.
Most 8s like large families and sometimes tend to keep others dependent longer than necessary. Although jovial in nature, Owen Oyston is not demonstrative in showing his love and affection.
The desire for luxury and comfort is especially strong in him. Status is very important. Owen must be careful to avoid living above his means.
Owen's Life Path treads that dangerous ground where power lies - and can corrupt. Oyston may become too self important, arrogant, and domineering, thinking that his way is the only way. This leads inevitably to isolation and conflict. The people he runs the risk of hurting most are those he loves, his family and friends.
Owen Oyston must be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may be born early in the life of an 8 Life Path, who often learns these negative traits after suffering under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas.
Those with the 8 Life Path usually possess a strong physique, which is a symptom of their inherent strength and resiliency.
You and Owen
About Owen's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Owen Oyston's birth. In that instant, Owen stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Oyston's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Owen Oyston's life.

We visit Santa (although without tears these days), we make candy and other sweets from scratch, we make handmade gifts, we decorate the house, we go to the zoo for the festival of lights, we go to live nativities...In a nutshell, we're all a flurry. It's a fast pace, but it's such a fun time of the year, especially with young children.
All a Flurry is also the name of my block for the Celebrate Christmas Quilt Along. It is an ideal pattern to showcase some of your favorite charm squares, although any fabrics will work. I've used some charm squares of Kate Spain's Flurry line of fabric and white Kona cotton for my block, but I think it would look beautiful in any combination of fabrics. All a Flurry is a simple block to construct and the bold graphic design and clean lines give it a modern feeling.
Please be sure to read all of the instructions before getting started. All seam allowances are ¼". If you'd like to make a block of your own, the free pattern is available to download as a pdf here.
Cutting Instructions:
* Cut (4) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares (A) from your choice of fabric (note: I used a charm square here, cut in half lengthwise and then again width-wise to yield (4) 2 1/2" squares)
* Cut (2) 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" rectangles (B) from a solid fabric
* Cut (1) 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" rectangle (C) from a solid fabric
* Cut (4) 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" rectangles (D) from a solid fabric
* Cut (4) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares (E) from your choice of fabric (note: I also used a charm square here, cut in half lengthwise and then again width-wise to yield (4) 2 1/2" squares)
* Cut (2) 2" x 9 1/2" rectangles (F) from a solid fabric
* Cut (2) 2" x 12 1/2" rectangles (G) from a solid fabric
Construct the block:
Sew one square A to one rectangle B, right sides together.
Sew one rectangle G to the left side and one rectangle G to the right side of the pieced square. Press seams open.
If you're following along, please be sure to add your block images to the Celebrate Christmas Quilt Along Flickr group!

Vintage Concepts was founded in 1981 in Napa, CA and is the creator of the Winelight®. A Winelight® is a ceramic, glass, metal, or marble "cork" with a cotton wick through it that allows any glass bottle or container to be used as an oil lamp.
The Winelight® was first sold in the winery tasting rooms and then to gift shops around the United States. It was developed so that the customer could save that special wine or champagne bottle and when empty recycle it into a decorative and romantic oil lamp. Additionally, crafters began using the Winelight® and often paint or decorate bottles by filling them with dried flowers, silk flowers, etc. use the Winelight® to finish their project into the perfect oil lamp.
The Winelight® is made in nine (9) different sizes to fit virtually any bottle opening from 1/4" to 2 1/4". Additionally, the original Winelight® concept has now been expanded to over 75 styles, everything from the standard ceramic colors to the pewter designs. The company manufactures and distributes various accessories for this main product line. The Winelight® Flame Protector is a glass chimney that fits over the neck of a wine or champagne bottle so that the Winelight® may be used outdoors or in a drafty area.
The company also manufactures the Winelight® Tube Lamp, this product consists of a glass tube that drops down into a bottle and allows lamp oil to be held separate from the bottle's contents. A tube lamp allows the customer to make an oil lamp in a bottle of bath salts, in imported olive oil bottles (while the olive oil is still in them), in sand painting bottles, even in floral arrangements, the uses are limitless. This unit includes the hollow glass tube, a natural Marble Winelight®, and a Flame Protector™.
The next time you think "Wine Bottle Accessory" or "Bottle Wick", think Vintage Concepts !!!

Beaver Falls, PA – Eight NCCAA teams will be headed to Oakland City, In. this week for the Division I Men′s basketball national tournament. One of those eight will be coming from Beaver Falls as the Geneva College men′s team took care of business in the eastern regional tournament with wins over Roberts Wesleyan and Nyack to earn a spot in the 2010 field. The Golden Tornadoes have an overall record of 16-11 and are headed to the nationals for the second time in three years.
The NCCAA announced the national tournament field on Monday with Geneva picking up the number seven seed out of eight teams. Geneva drew #2 seeded Mid-Continent University (22-12) in a first-round match-up scheduled for 1 p.m. on Thursday afternoon to open the tournament.
Each represented school is guaranteed three games at the national tournament but a loss in the first or second round would not allow that team to advance into the finals. A Geneva victory on Thursday would set up a game with the winner of Mid-America Christian (19-15) and Northwestern (19-7). The national tournament championship is slated for 8 p.m. on Saturday night.
Geneva College is a comprehensive Christian college of the arts, sciences and professional studies. Founded in the tradition of the Reformed Christian faith, Geneva prepares students to serve Christ in all areas of society: work, family and the church. Geneva College′s philosophy of education is based on the Foundational Concepts of Christian Higher Education. Geneva is a founding member of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU).

[Verse 1]
Let 'em speak, I know I'm meek but the mils louder
Watch the throne, kings kill when the prince feels power
It's the real deal, Holyfield, holy shit, holy grail
Silver spoon coon, young buffoon, yeah, they know me well
I'm makin' moves, couldn't lose, doin' Parker Lewis
Hot on my own, self-immolate, I could be a Buddhist
Hot on my own, check your tone, check your stance homie
You don't even like me, you just trynna get my fans homie
So nerdy but the flow wordy
Brain-freezin' with the flow slurpie
Ice cold but you know I burn cash like I had herpes
Not true, but I'm that dirty
Niggas quit bein' hot man, cold turkey
While I'm out in Kauai, man, soul searchin'
And these niggas be afraid and I'm so certain
Cause they don't know what to do when the world's broken
A lot of people try and go and talk shit but your girl stops me on the street
Like it's stop and frisk and a bunch of DDots wanna talk a lot of shit
But that's cool cause in the real world they really don't exist
It's all because the internet
Chance made millions, Haim made millions
Dan made millions, Kendrick made millions
I would too if I wasn't in my feelings
You know, cause like, people say money's not everything
But money, you need money to do what you wanna do
Like money is power, honesty is power, truth is power
But at the same time they tell you like
[Verse 2]
Ain't nothin' more important than the mula
You ain't really eatin' boy, you gotta get your food up
We so steady eatin' baby, you already know that
The way I'm droppin' new shit, I'm sittin' on the toilet
Every night I tour that, moment
But we don't take pictures, when you're rich you just see it again
The only thing they really worry about is me and the pen
Wrote some shit on Instagram, I'm just bein' honest
They tried to give your boy pills like I'm bein' violent
They tried to give your boy pills just to keep him silent
Keep tellin' people the truth, you could be iconic
They tried to give your boy pills, like "he's scarin' us"
Try to stay inside, I don't really like appearances
I try to stay inside, but they still got something to say
"Are you still on the show? Are you dating Jhene?"
It's deeper than that
Calico inside the handbag, I'm keepin' the cat
I got some niggas in reserve like I'm deep in Iraq
And I'm deep in the rap, and it's deeper than rap
This is deeper than rap

The Albany Times Union and other outlets are reporting that New York Gov. David Paterson will appoint upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to Hillary Clinton's former Senate seat.
Gillibrand was first elected in 2006 in a narrow win against incumbent Republican Rep. John Sweeney, then won by a landslide in 2008 against wealthy businessman Sandy Treadwell. Gillibrand proved to be a prolific fundraiser herself in that race, spending over $4 million.
So Paterson gets to a) court women voters, b) court upstate voters, and c) recruit a candidate who can bring in a lot of money in case of a tough race.
It makes sense.

Rum Arc Discussion Series: Wakita Kanenori
Gosho's foreshadowing style
So, we all know about Gosho's pattern when it comes to introducing a new character in the story. Other than the normal form of foreshadowing, in which we get info that our main characters are eventually supposed to utilize to get to the truth, there's also the fourth-wall-breaking foreshadowing, in which the foreshadowing is meant for the fans to utilize, and not the in-universe characters. That style of foreshadowing is something that Gosho loves to do and has used it many times through out the series. Very clear and important examples are two characters from the Bourbon arc, Amuro and Mary.
In Amuro's introduction case(File 793-794), we had many instances where Gosho was intentionally hinting towards his identity. The first one was the reference to "Bourbon"(793), which ended up being his code-name in the Black organization.
The second one was Amuro's "spy" reference(794), in which he was denying of sharing their attributes, but ultimately ended up being one that infiltrated the Black organization.
In Mary's introduction case(File 876-878), we also had similar indications of Gosho foreshadowing a part of her identity, or at the very least, her former affiliation. In this one, he was fairly clever with it and hid it well, by splitting the foreshadowing into parts and delivering them in future cases. Although this isn't confirmed yet, both of these foreshadowings indicates that Mary is, or was, an MI6 agent. The first one is the "James Bond"(MI6 agent) reference(878), which is tied to Mary's stunt in File 952.
The second one is Mary's gadget experience and amazement by Agasa's work(878) which is tied to Amuro's "MI6" reference in File 895.
Similarly to their introduction case, Wakita's introduction case also had foreshadowings but with a variety of implications.
Wakita's identity
If we go through Wakita's introduction case(File 975-977), the first interesting hint we will find is the indirect reference to "Rum". You can see that Gosho was aiming on being less obvious with the "liquor-code-name" reference, compared to the Bourbon arc, as he chose to write "Pirate's Spirit"(which is known to be "Rum") instead(975). At first sight, this does seem to imply that Wakita is Rum, however, this does contradict one major characteristic that has been established in regards to Rum's character, and that is his artificial eye. At the moment, we haven't gotten a confirmation that Wakita does not have an artificial eye, but his behavior and circumstance seems to point to that he doesn't.
Wakita wears an eye-patch, which is claimed to be hiding his damaged eye. If he had gotten an artificial eye before ~4 months ago(when Sherry was still in the BO and had a chance to hear about Rum's artificial eye), and since he says "sticking to one place isn't my style", he wouldn't have been allowed to work in the kitchen in all those places he previously worked at(because having one eye while cooking is risky), yet he was still looking for that position, as if he normally did have that position in the previous places. This contradiction implies that the eye injury is likely recent, rather than old. Also, if he really did have an artificial eye and lied about it, then he definitely wouldn't have offered to show his fake eye, like he did(975).
There are also the other descriptions about Rum's "feminine" and "strong" characteristics that is yet to be seen in Wakita. Ultimately, there's a lack of similarities between Rum's characteristics and Wakita's, however, that "Pirate's Spirit" reference definitely ties his introduction to Rum and the Black Organization.
So who is Wakita then?
If we take a look at the context of the "Pirate's Spirit" mention, when it's referenced by Wakita himself(975), we can see an alternate interpretation of that foreshadowing. Wakita said "Pirate's Spirit is such a weak horse... yet you bet so much on it."
If you look at this sentence as a foreshadowing to Wakita's position/opinion, in regards to Rum, then you can get this interpretation.
If Wakita is a BO member, then this sentence makes a lot of sense and basically foreshadows his antipathy with Rum, as well as his dissatisfaction with the boss favoring Rum.
The second foreshadowing references "the boss", and gives us implications of another layer to Wakita identity.
This is a very obvious red-herring of making Wakita look like Rum, but this still gives us a strong foreshadowing that Wakita, who was introduced in this case, is someone close to the boss. It's important to note that the translation says "closest", rather than "close". This implies that Wakita might be the closest subordinate to the boss, yet the boss chose Rum as the No. 2(second-in-command). This explains why there might be an antipathy/rivalry between him and Rum and his overall disagreement with the Boss' decision(according to the first foreshadowing).
Wakita's Goal
As we know, Wakita ended up being Kogoro's apprentice. If we assume that the foreshadowing-interpretation is correct, why would the closest subordinate to the BO boss become an apprentice to Kogoro?
The biggest clue we have is Gin's latest appearance(953), where he referred to Kogoro as a potential threat, after his involvement in the Hotta Gaito case(File 951-953).
Gin's suspicion of Kogoro has been developing since the start of the Kir arc. Because of Conan's mistakes, Kogoro became like the face of Conan's secret investigation of the BO, which Gin has slowly started to sniff out since the Vermouth arc(Itakura case). Even after being tricked into believing that the FBI used Kogoro to trick the BO, Gin still held on to his suspicion against Kogoro. The latest development with Gin's suspicion indicated that it was the last straw and that he finally decided to take actions. This could potentially be where Wakita comes into the picture.
If Gin is suspecting that Kogoro is investigating Kouji's case from 17 yrs ago, then it makes sense that he would get the assistance of the high-ranked members, as per the Boss' orders, since the case is connected to someone who's currently the second-in-command and it involves a well-known detective(compared to the Rokumichi case in File 954-957). The boss already knows of Kogoro's past-involvement with a BO member(Kir) and would value Gin's new suspicion of Kogoro. Therefore, it's not a stretch for the boss to activate his closest subordinate, Wakita, to verify Gin's suspicion and eliminate the potential threat.
This means that Wakita intended to get close to Kogoro, similarly to Bourbon, in order to investigate him. He didn't just "wash up" in Iroha Sushi Restaurant(as he claimed), but specifically targeted it, since it's next to the Mouri Detective Agency. The fact that Gosho addressed what had happened to the former employee indicates, in this scenario, that Wakita caused the traffic "accident" that got the employee hospitalized, in order to take his place.
Wakita's Progress
Since Wakita is a fairly new character, we haven't gotten too much development of him since his introduction, but we did get something. In his latest appearance(File 980), we got a panel where we could see him read the latest news and say "This one's, quite quick-witted!". At first sight, what we assumed he was reading is the case with Rumi(in which the headlines made her out to be a hero), since the previous panel showed Kuroda's reaction to that news headline. However, because the panel never showed what Wakita was reading, it can be considered as one of Gosho's simple mislead-tactics, to make us think that Wakita found out about Rumi's existence(and her suspicious name).
Assuming that he wasn't reacting to Rumi, what was he reacting to instead?
I think that the main point to why Rumi's case(File 978-980) referenced "Ikyuu" so much and established similarities between Conan and Ikyuu was because of that last panel. Ikyuu was a monk that was known for his wit, and Conan was acting as Ikyuu at the start of the case. When Shinichi was a kid, he got the "Ikyuu" role because of his similar qualities to him. This does look like Gosho's way of foreshadowing that Wakita was calling Conan "quick-witted", since that is a direct reference to Ikyuu's known quality, which Conan represented.
This means that Wakita was reading about Conan, but since the "Rumi case" highlighted Rumi, it's more likely that he was reading an old newspaper about Conan's achievement(like the "Kid killer" news). This could be Gosho's setup to where Wakita eventually becomes the canon version of Irish, the BO member that finds out about Conan's identity.
- Wakita could be the BO boss' closest subordinate and someone that has an antipathy/rivalry with Rum.
- His goal is to investigate Kogoro and verify if Gin's suspicion is true.
- He might be on to Conan right now.

This interdisciplinary course in "Big History" integrates the human story with its terrestrial and cosmic surroundings while focusing on three key themes. First, it pays careful attention to issues of scale — via the notion of "powers of ten" — by shifting perspectives in space and time through many orders of magnitude. The class proceeds logarithmically, "nesting" each topic within its predecessor. Lectures thus narrow the picture from cosmic groups of galaxies through the solar system and our own planet, ultimately reaching questions of biology, life, and the human experience. Second, each topic offers a different disciplinary perspective, and the course integrates humanistic, social-science, and natural-science perspectives on the wider human environment. Although providing an overview of key notions in the field of world and global history, the course also provides an opportunity for students to see the connections (and tensions) between different disciplinary approaches, epistemological assumptions, and the natural, terrestrial, cosmic, and historical scales of time and space. Third, it focuses on themes of complexity and connection — showing how the universe and earth have their own history. Starting with the Big Bang, these histories have been characterized by the emergence of more complicated aggregations of atoms, molecules, and elements. These new units grew in complexity (but also instability) as they extracted increasing amounts of energy from their environments. Yet just as stars and galaxies ultimately face collapse or a slow demise (via entropy and the second law of thermodynamics), so human society now also confronts a range of resource challenges that are difficult to deny or overcome.
"Zoom" is a four-credit course, with three weekly lectures and a one-hour GSI-led discussion section. Assignments include a midterm and final exam (20% each), plus two short papers (10% each) and a disciplinary web module project (20%). Attendance and participation comprise the remaining 20%. Readings average 150 pages per week.

Gill will leave his post after 16 years in the summer, although he will retain a position on the United board. The move has been prompted by a desire to seek a place on the influential UEFA executive committee, with concerns being raised about Gill's ability to combine that role with his status as the administrative leader of one of the world's biggest clubs.
"He spoke to me about it some weeks ago," said Ferguson. "I was surprised because he is still a young man. But I can understand exactly where he is coming from. Sixteen years at United in that particular position is not easy. He will do fantastic with UEFA and he will contribute greatly to the game in general."
Though Gill will remain in the shadows, his decision creates an element of uncertainty at Old Trafford.
Ed Woodward, who has overseen the massive progress made by the Red Devils' commercial department, will take over many of Gill's responsibilities. It is, however, envisaged Woodward will remain based at the club's London offices, with current commercial director Richard Arnold becoming the most senior figure at Old Trafford.
The situation has been likened to that encountered at Arsenal following the exit of David Dein, whose departure was viewed by many as the start of that club's decline. Yet Ferguson does not view the situation in the same way.
"There is a good stability here. That must help," he said. "The foundations David has laid down from his side of it are easy to carry on from. There is a template there for us to follow. The job is to support the manager and the staff to maintain the success they have. I don't think that should change that much."
Woodward has been attending Premier League meetings on United's behalf in an attempt to get his head round the intricate world of football politics. And Ferguson believes the manner of the 40-year-old's promotion is another sign that the Glazer family remain wedded to the in-house philosophy that has proved so successful down the years.
"I have always worked well with David and he is going to be a loss," said Ferguson. "But United are great at promoting from within and we have done it again with Ed Woodward stepping up. Remember, David came as the finance director and ended up as chief executive.
"From the football side, Mike Phelan came as reserve coach and ended up as my assistant. Rene Meulensteen came as a development coach and is now my first-team coach. Brian McClair came as a youth coach and is now director of the academy. We see quality and potential in a lot of our staff. That happens throughout the club. There shouldn't be a big problem."
