With revised dock dimensions, the new iPort IW series allows users to dock (and charge) an iPhone.
Having the ability to stream iPod content throughout the house is super cool, but what if you decide to ditch that iPod for another portable? iPort recognizes this need to upgrade to cooler gadgets, and has launched a new design to accommodate the iPhone.
Each of iPort's five IW (in-wall) models features a docking faceplate, so you can use touchwheel iPods or iPhone. Whichever one is docked will also receive a power boost.
Speaking of a boost, all of the IW and FS models now feature video browsing, which allows you to view, navigate and select iPod video menus via an iPort that's integration with a touchscreen or wall-panel controller.
The basic iPort starts at $200 and goes up to $1,100 (not including installation). If you've already invested in Apple's pricey portable, is this that much of a larger leap?

Image Trolls Marvel With 'New' Teaser
- Written by Jude Terror on Monday, October 07 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Press Release
For the past few weeks, Marvel has been sending out their one-word teasers for upcoming Marvel SOON! books at such a high frequency that we're not even sure how to make fun of them anymore without repeating ourselves (and we only like to reuse jokes twice, maybe three times in a single week). It's not the first time, either. Marvel's teasers have been becoming increasingly simplistic for a while now, to the point where they're now just a single word with a gradient slapped on it in Photoshop, and maybe the names of the creators.
Well, Image Comics has never been afraid to take risks and push boundaries in this industry, so we were not surprised when they sent us this teaser this morning, consisting only of the word "New" and a Skybound logo. Beating Marvel at their own game, Image has forgone any gradient or effects on the letters whatsoever. Expect Marvel to retaliate with blank images next week.
Oh, and the file is named Teaser_01, so we can assume there will be more of these.

Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is ...
A heart of loving kindness enjoys greatest ...
These are quotes tagged with "happiness".
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly. What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it ...
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.

Sacha Baron Cohen's appearance as The Dictator was one of the highlights of this year's Oscars red carpet, but industry blog Deadline has revealed that the British actor did not attend the ceremony proper in an apparent snub to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
- The Dictator
- Production year: 2012
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 83 mins
- Directors: Larry Charles
- Cast: Anna Faris, Fred Melamed, Jeff Grossman, John C. Reilly, Kevin Corrigan, Megan Fox, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sir Ben Kingsley
Oscars organisers had at one point last week threatened to withdraw Baron Cohen's tickets over concerns that an appearance as Admiral General Aladeen of the fictional Republic of Wadiyah, the central figure of the comic's forthcoming film, might prove inappropriately self-promoting for the event. Baron Cohen responded by releasing a video in character warning of "unimaginable consequences" if he was not allowed to attend.
Academy staff are said to have eventually bent over backwards to accommodate the star of Borat and Brüno on Sunday night, providing a dressing room for the comic to change out of his Dictator garb and into a tuxedo for the main ceremony, where he was due to take his place alongside colleagues from Martin Scorsese's Hugo. The comic was not kicked out by security guards after the red-carpet stunt in which he poured the purported ashes of Kim Jong-il over TV host Ryan Seacrest, but was allowed to head to his designated room to change. But in what might be perceived as a rather hefty snub, the comic slipped out of the venue and made his way to Vanity Fair's viewing party at the nearby Tower Hotel instead.
In other post-Oscars news, Eddie Murphy has said he would be open to hosting the event in future despite his withdrawal from this year's ceremony following Brett Ratner's high-profile resignation. Murphy had been hand-picked to take on MC duties due to his close working relationship with Ratner but chose to quit when the US film-maker withdrew as the ceremony's producer in the wake of criticism over a variety of ill-advised comments.
"If they ask me again and it comes around, I'm totally open to do," Murphy said at a press junket for his new film A Thousand Words. "It's one of the few things that I haven't done as a comedian. So, yeah, one day." Murphy added that host Billy Crystal had done "a great job" but said the ceremony "would be a little quicker with me driving".
Finally, Oscar-winning film producer Harvey Weinstein is reportedly hoping to turn the five wins for French black-and-white silent movie The Artist at this year's event into box office glory. Weinstein, who oversaw The King's Speech's eventual emergence as one of the year's most successful big-screen draws following the British historical drama's 2011 Academy Awards triumph, reportedly believes Michel Hazanavicius's hymn to Hollywood's golden era will eventually return around $60m in the US, where it is expanding to more than 2,000 screens this weekend. The film currently has a worldwide gross of $77m but is likely to benefit from the traditional Oscars boost following its wins for best film, best director, best actor, best original score and best costumes.

He shrivels and dies
Tried that a number of years ago, and im still on windows.
An angel looses their wings
I now.. many still ask wich antivirus is recomended.. (i know there are visures on Mac..but not on the same scale as windows)
Mac's and PC's have different target audiences. Many PC users are Gamers, PC enthusiasts, Programmers etc. The people who have no need for open source software, extra customization, or freedom within their software and/or hardware have no problem using a Mac other than that it is more costly. I love PC's but I can understand why Mac has done so well with "the common rabble".
I think your missing something.
1) the Mac OS X was based on the open source world of linux and is X11 compliant (giving you a lot of software)
2) you can emulate a PC on either a the Mac OS10 or Linux OS. As a result you have more system stability (no total system crashes) than when you run windows natively on your PC.
3) All but the very expensive Macs are now Intel Core machines. They can run windows as a native OS (not just an emulation) - and do so very rapidly.
4) macs don't spend massive amounts of the processing power trying to support Z80 and 8088 code (just in case you need it)
5) you also don't lose a huge amount of your overhead to running all hardware through a small number of "shared IRQ's" because the rest of the world abandoned that hardware tech in the mid 80s and went on to : heartbeat interrupts, interrupt stacks, interrupt heaps, interrupt ques..etc...and they can do this because they do not rely on VERY OLD HARDWARE IDEAS. The PC is a bad joke from a hardware standpoint.
Every single time I've used a Mac I've come very close to putting my fist through it.
I have looked at mac a few times, our editors have them at work and i find the filing system a mess and finding this hard. They bitch about it crashing all the time. We are looking at maybe going PC version for editing.... shock yes...
He decided whether or not he wanted to dual boot OSX on his existing PC.
what happens? he kills himself for making the switch
Tried it. Ditched it after a couple of weeks. The most frustrating computing experience I've ever had.
There are some positives, but they are so massively outweighed by the negatives that its amazing that any normal (non-hipster douchebag) would ever stick to the mac platform.
Alex Crane
I've heard those macs are running some amazing operating system, OSX - or OS Ten. Wow, TEN! That's 2 better then windows!!!
Macbooks and Mac Pros have their benefits especially if you're a designer. The only problem is the majority of Apple's audience buy Macbooks as fashion statements and use them like Chromebooks.
The world will explode.
...is this still a thing? I think I wrote my last "PC/Mac switch" article like...5 years ago.
And to all the commenters who found Mac OS X a frustrating experience: Really? It's not a fundamentally different experience for the vast majority of users.
I feel like I'm reading in a time machine.
*No knock on Paul here--well-written as always, and the topic emerged, so he covered it, as we do. Just surprised that there are still people who think switching from PC to Mac is a big deal.
I'm with you Seth. I think the two aren't so different such that the usability of either is vastly more advantageous in one use case or another. You could say PCs are better for gaming and Macs have an advantage in certain content creation apps but beyond that it's not a big jump anymore I don't think.
And then he tried Linux and was hooked for life.
Little more detail of his experience would have been nice.
I've used both Windows and Mac. There was a learning curve for me with the Mac, but it worked well and without any issues. The only reason that I don't still have that iMac 24" is that one of my kids needed it for school.
While Windows-7 is the one OS that I really like, I have been toying with the idea of buying an iMac Mini lately.
It's true that each has it's strong points.

A cartoon by Jon Dorn.
Summertime fun.
Summertime fun.
"You left me for THIS guy?"
For an artist who quote, "rebels against our patriarchal culture of material phallo-centric over-compensation," you store your work in a lot of big tubes.
"Mirrrr! I'm frankensensing a gold front coming in!"
(Merry Christmas!)
"So you really found yourself on that road trip, huh?"
"Yup, but I had to make sure I wouldn't get away."
He thought in the third person, so he was incapable of suicide. This was a paradox he could bear no longer.
"I'm more of a post-modern procrastinator. I like to be productive while really accomplishing nothing at all."
Nothing like a nice meal after a hard day's work.
"Just give it a few months and you'll wonder what you ever saw in that appendix anyway."

The (probable) cause for "can't quit" bug in Firefox
I encountered the same problem yesterday, did a search for "'can't quit' 'os x' firefox" in Google, and think I found the solution. For whatever reason, it seems that the Download Statusbar extension causes this problem.
The (probable) cause for "can't quit" bug in Firefox
You got it! That was the cause. I've updated the hint (and changed the title, too). So Firefox isn't to blame at all, and I apologize for incorrectly pointing the finger...

Laser pulses are continuing to be utilized in a variety of advanced commercial, civilian, and military systems. Their bandwidth and intensity have been increasing, to the point at which the materials they interact with no longer respond in a linear fashion. The material response is nonlinear and the properties of the materials depend on the shape of the pulse propagating in them. Moreover, the materials have memory effects so that trains of multiple pulses can produce effects similar to those occurring from one large pulse. Despite the increase in complexity of the associated physical properties, these nonlinear effects offer the potential for a variety of novel device and systems applications.
Nonlinear optical (NLO) devices are currently being explored for their applications in various systems associated with communications, remote sensing, optical computing, and so on. However, as the size of optical devices such as microcavity lasers is pushed to the size of an optical wavelength and less, the need for more exact materials and response models is paramount to the successful design and fabrication of those devices. Most current simulation models are based on known macroscopic, phenomenological models that avoid issues dealing with specific microscopic behavior of the materials in such NLO devices. Inaccuracies in the simulation results are then exacerbated as the device sizes shrink to subwavelength sizes and the response times of the excitation signals surpass the response times of the material. There are laser sources currently under development with submicron wavelengths that are pushing the boundaries of the subfemtosecond regime. Phenomenological nonresonant models lose their ability to describe the physics in this parameter regime; hence, they lose their accuracy there. Quantum mechanical effects begin to manifest themselves; the simulation models must incorporate this behavior to be relevant.
Until recently, the modeling of pulse propagation in and scattering from complex nonlinear media has generally been accomplished with one-dimensional, scalar models. These models have become quite sophisticated; they have predicted and explained many of the nonlinear as well as linear effects in present devices and systems. Unfortunately, they cannot be used to explain many observed phenomena; and expectations are that they are not adequately modeling multidimensional nonlinear phenomena. It is felt that vector and higher dimensional properties of Maxwell's equations that are not currently included in existing scalar models in addition to more detailed material and device structure models may significantly impact the scientific and engineering results. The associated propagation and scattering issues have a direct impact on a variety of applications, particularly on the design and engineering of integrated photonic components that have immediate utility to nonlinear soliton fiber optical communications systems currently under development. It is believed that the successful development of semi-classical simulators that combine numerical quantum mechanical models of materials and macroscopic Maxwell's equations solvers will significantly affect the concept and design stages associated with novel nonlinear optics phenomena.
The problem of accurate numerical modeling of the propagation of ultrafast pulses in nonlinear media and their use in NLO optical devices has been subject to increasing interest in recent years. Since the most interesting nonlinear phenomena are transient and superposition is not available, it is natural to try to carry out this modeling directly in the time-domain. For this reason the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is receiving intensive study for modeling linear and nonlinear optical phenomena. In contrast to the case for frequency-domain linear analysis, a single value of permittivity ε is completely inadequate to describe nonlinear time-dependent phenomena, and it is essential to model the interaction of the electromagnetic field with the material medium.
Initial simulations of these ultrafast optical pulse interactions have been based upon several well-known phenomenological material models (Ziolkowski and Judkins, 1993a,b, 1994; Judkins and

PS. Nadal was more comfortable in his Spanish-tinged French remarks to the crowd than Djokovic. They really like him there.

Nadal has the most BORING game in men´s tennis.. I will be so happy to see him leave. Baseline winner after baseline winner. I´d like to see him try to do that with a wood racquet.Not to say the rest of the men are much better.. the ATP needs to outlaw the stupid strings that let you grab the ball and cause it to do unnatural acts.

Long-time tennis player here, and one who appreciates the unreal talent of both these guys.They are head and shoulders better than any other players in the game today. Both of them played fantastic today. The difference here today, as it was in most of Nadal´s other win here over the years against Federer, was Nadal´s unbelievable endurance. He just grinds other guys down until they can barely move at the end.Djokovic actually has slightly superior skills and is the only player on the tour who controls the points against Nadal...up until the third set. And then Nadal´s nonhuman endurance kicks in and you can see the momentum turn.Great match. Great play by both. Great, deserving win for Nadal.

Consider me not impressed. O.k. so it's really only two weeks but honestly, two weeks is a long time to wait for many consider more entertaining than the regular season of the NFL…after your favorite team has been knocked out anyways. I love the NFL Draft. I love the excitement the not-knowing, and the surprises. Who could have seen the Dion Jordan move by the Miami Dolphins this year? Seriously! I even love watching the green room to see who drops and then pouts and then acts like a child and says "I'm not coming tomorrow". Ahem…Geno Smith.
Next year the NFL Draft will have to wait. Moving from the late April start to two week later into May, the NFL officially made it official when they added the dates to their Facebook page. The leagues new year will begin two days earlier on March 11th but the wait now for the draft will seem a lot longer. There are only so many "mock drafts" you can read, so many player analysis and highlight reels to watch. Enough already give me the selections dammit!.
The real downer in all of this belongs to the teams themselves. The NFL wants them to believe it gives them an extra two weeks of prep and research but it shortens the dates of camp agendas. The rookie class normally will report the weekend the draft will actually take place next year. Then comes the OTA periods. It's a little much crammed into a shorter date field. But that is the NFL. The league is trying to capitalize on it's popularity but this move doesn't exactly put the draft into the middle of the May sweeps although I could be wrong as the networks themselves seem hell bent on screwing up my memory with all their changes from year to year.
The reality is I'm selfish and I want the draft moved up not back. It's fun and it's football when there is no football. I know, there is no football in May to speak of either and now there will be a draft. A draft that will now cost me another 40 bucks for the month of May to run Finsradio.net. I swear BlogtalkRadio.com is behind this. I kid of course. Regardless of my feelings or the feelings of the NFL teams that it really effects, the NFL draft will venture into the early weeks of May. May 8th to 10th to be exact. So grab a pen, marker, or crayon, and reschedule those after draft trips or reschedule your booked hotel room in NYC the end of next April.

Running a small business can sometimes be tough and tricky since it requires you to have all the right tools at your disposal for you to run it. When it comes to banking, you must be extremely careful when choosing the best bank for small business; the bank itself should suit your needs and interests as well as those of your small business.
Knows What Banks Wants
Banks normally exist to make profits, nothing more, and nothing less. There is no unselfish bent to an institution promising to have your back when it comes to business. It's all about fees, service and convenience. Not all banking institutions are the same, so you need to shop around for the best deal that suits your interest without in anyway costing you. Keep in mind that choosing the wrong bank for your small business can be very pricey in terms of fees charged and can prevent your business from growing to your expectations when the opportunity arises. Choosing the bank should entirely depend on the character of your business activity.
Things to consider when choosing the best bank for small business
Is Online Banking a Business Need
- The convenience of the online business banking is indispensable. The best bank for small business should offer the basic electronic access free of charge or at a very low rate.
Ups and Extras
- Do you frequently need change to operate the business? Do you acknowledge food stamps, checks and credit cards for business? Most banks charge for these types of services but best bank for small business offers these features at a reasonable fee.
The Convenience Factor
- The convenience factor can't be overlooked. The best bank will allow the employees to be rendered service on your behalf. The bank will offer the consideration service of honoring your drafted checks even when you're short of funds either for a fee or through a credit line. The best bank for your small business will as well let you transfer your funds via telephone as a convenience.
No Perfect Banks
While there isn't a one size fits all option for a small business banking services, key considerations that one needs to think about includes fees, services as well as minimum balance requirements. A small business may maintain a healthy account on hand, while its neighbors could be struggling to avoid being overdrawn. A small business that generally deals with business cash may do very well if it opts for the services of a nearby bank so as to avoid transporting a lot of money, however all in all, the best bank for small business should offer low fee structure. A careful research yields the ideal banking institution for your small business from the available choices.

Where to find Moroccan wine in NYC?
I moved to Manhattan from Marrakesh a little over a month ago and I'm becoming increasingly worried that it won't be nearly as easy as I thought it would be to find Moroccan wine in town. Granted, I've mostly only searched in my local liquor and wine stores in Chelsea/Meatpacking thus far.
Is there a better neighborhood or even just one store that stocks the larger Moroccan names (Cuvee President, S de Siroua, Ksar, etc.)? Actually, I'd be happy with pretty much anything as long as it's from the Maghreb. Even though I'm not Moroccan and only lived there for a few years, I'm feeling intensely homesick for the place of late... A little vin du pays would go a long way toward salving that.
I know that it has to be available -somewhere- in New York since I've found instances of some of the more swish Moroccan vintages in Minneapolis' higher end wine shops. If it's getting to MSP, it's probably coming through here en route!
While I'm here I'd also love it if someone could advise me as to where the best poulet citron [preserved lemon, chicken and olive] tajine can be found. I'm also very curious to discover where "little Morocco" may be if there is such a thing. While I'm open to suggestions of mid to high end restaurants, I'm most interested in finding an area that contains a number of small, unpretentious hole in the wall joints if there is such a place.
Thanks in advance for any input!
hi...try Astor Wines (on Lafayette)...not sure their current stock, but i used to get a Moroccan wine from them regularly a few years ago...
Cafe Mogador serves a decent chicken w/ preserved lemon and olive (though it won't be as intensely flavorful as the ones you've prob had in Morocco or France)...
I just saw two the other day at Astor---Trois Domaines Guerrouane, red and white. You can also get a wine called Syrocco at 67 Wine or Garnet---a really excellent Moroccan syrah made by the celebrated Rhone winemaker Alain Graillot.
The best Moroccan restaurant in NYC - in my opinion - is La Maison du Couscous in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. As you can imagine, it's nowhere as good as those you'll find in Marrakech, but it's pretty tasty. There's a small Moroccan community out there, but it's muslim and you won't find wines.
Ditto the Moroccan community in Astoria, which is centered around Steinway Street. A couple of food shops and restaurants, but nothing of merit. (I have liked Jour et Nuit, but I heard that they went downhill or may have even closed.) Again, no wine, but you might find items from home.
You'll probably do better on the Outer Boroughs board looking for Moroccan food and the such. And Grand Liquors on 30th in Astoria stocks a wide variety of wines from random places - I've purchased Armenian and Indian wine there in the past, they may be able to help you (or at least order you some).
Lastly, and I'm sure it's not much of a consolation, but you can find Casablanca, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Flag beer around town. (The beer distributor on Chrystie had Casablanca this past weekend, for instance.)
re: Sophia.
That is the best store for off-the-beaten path wines in the city. I don't know that they're all good, but the selection they have is just sick.
My Name is Noureddine Arfan and I'm pleased to announce you that I'll be importing Moroccan wine very soon. I already have few samples for my next presentation in NYC, NJ and PA. The main ones are Volubilia, Domaine De Sahari Reserve, Medaillon. Any PREFERENCE don't hesitate to write me. Thanks.
The Kiosk is a lovely little owner-operated Moroccan restaurant on E. 116th St. Quirky decor, very friendy people, and the kitchen turns out some nice things most of the time. I have tried their chicken tajine with preserved lemons and olives and I liked it very much. Their couscous royale and their lamb dishes are also good. And IIRC, they do have a Moroccan wine on their small wine list, but on one visit they did not have it. They also usually have a special or two on the menu and I've had good luck with those. Their back room is very cozy, with pillows on banquettes and romantic lighting. Sweet place.

Riding the RIM waves on your SSB (simple single build)
Building a Blackberry app can turn out to be quite a challenge. Apparently RIM likes to treat app developers as explorers making their way through an unknown jungle. Luckily when you've travelled that path many times as we had, you get to be certain you'll end up in the right place.
The place where imo RIM really gives developers a hard time is OS fragmentation and poorly documented API's. My personal favorite is the very common note found in RIM javadoc stating that "this method is invoked by the underlying framework and might not work as expected". Surprised? I was. So yes, we all know Blackberry development has its issues. But then again, which platform doesn't?

Whelp, today's the day I fly back to West Palm to wrap things up (literally — I need to pack a lot of shit). Fittingly, I just stumbled upon this article from The Palm Beach Post saying that the Pottery Barn we live above may soon become an H&M.
I'm not sure if living above an H&M would be better than living above a Pottery Barn. But it is strange to think that after we move, the entire front of the building could change. So if/when we go back to West Palm to visit, everything might look different… like we slipped into a time rift and our two years living there never happened…
Okay, I guess it's not that crazy. Storefronts change. Maybe the weirdest thing is that we lived at a mall to begin with. I will miss our balcony though — and the constant fear that one of our potted plants could fall off the ledge and kill some unsuspecting shopper.
Modern Asian joint Fuku was denied a trademark request from the state on the grounds that its name is "immoral," reports WPTV.
The word is Japanese for "good fortune," but even so, it's just a little too close to that four-letter word in English. Some passersby told the station that it looked like the name was "f—k you."
When they first put up a massive "Fuku coming soon" sign, I felt no urge to titter. I wasn't outraged either. I simply figured it was pronounced foo-koo (in the same style as "Fugu").
Now doesn't that seems like a reasonable explanation? Like something an adult could easily grasp and explain to children?
"No." -Florida
The first thing I did when I awoke was gasp violently for air. My pounding heart sent shockwaves throughout my entire body as I clutched my forehead and recalled the last few moments of a near-fatal deep-sea dive. There were viperfish nipping at my heels… ominous shadows moving in the dark blue void around me… and in an instant I was here, on the couch - alone and drunk.Read more

Ok for those of you who know me, know I'm not a big time blogger....So if I am blogging then I am either extremely excited or....the opposite! Well, with that being said I am the opposite LOL
This to me is a motivational, educational and inspirational site! I LOVE SPARKS! Most of you may know that I am a Sparks surfer...I don't get to post on most things that I read here...I am a serial Sparks surfer...I've read a ton of blogs, Sparkpages and even when a status is updated...
I come here for support! So if Sparks can provide that for us...then why can't we provide that for SPARKS! If you don't like something, would a little note of the oversight being sent too much to ask? Sparks has to appeal to a very large spectrum so it's really NOT just about YOU!
This isn't anything personal or towards any ONE person...just a few things I read tonight and what makes it so bad...I'm not even on some of the teams...just random things I read. Soooo I was thinking (ut oh lol) I bet Sparks get tired of reading all the things they (which some might say) aren't doing...So I wanted to say HEY I APPRECIATE YOU SPARK PEOPLE SPARK FRIENDS!
This world and its existence is larger than life...sooo It's really Just not about YOU!
whew!!!! I said it :)

BIKE TEST: Yeti SB5C
IT'S BEEN ONLY A TAD MORE THAN THREE YEARS SINCE YETI introduced its 'Switch Technology' suspension platform on its 'SB' (Super Bike) line of full-suspension rigs, drawing accolades from longtime Yeti lovers while also converting new members to the tribe. We at Bike were early advocates of the company's flagship Switch Technology bike–the 6-inch-travel, 26-inch-wheeled SB-66–and we reveled in the countless hours of trail time spent aboard that capable all-rounder.
All bikes
48 Hours on the Kona Hei Hei Supreme and the 24 Hours of Old Pueblo
Writing a review of a bike during a press camp is like saying you'll marry someone after the first date. There simply isn't enough time to get entirely used to a bike after a brief ride or two.
Santa Cruz Shredfest in Sedona
The international assemblage of irreverent mountain-bike hacks gathered at Santa Cruz Bicycles' big-wheeled bike launch in Sedona, Arizona, has embarked on its third day of riding—and the fleet of shiny new 29ers has long since been covered in thick layers of Sedona's famous terracotta-colored dust.
Bike Test: 2011 Trek Top Fuel 9.8
You'd be hard pressed to find a sub-par bicycle in the over-five-grand category. Heck, you'd be hard pressed to find a questionable bike in the three-grand category these days. Simply put, there are a lot of good bikes out there. Trek's 2011 Top Fuel, however, is exceptional.
Bike Test: 2011 Felt Virtue Expert
Felt Bicycles, as a company, has a decidedly XC racer-ish flavor to it. There are more hardtails in the 2012 line up than full suspension bikes, which is sort of a rarity these days in the bike business. And when it comes to the long-travel end of the spectrum, Felt offers their five-model Virtue series.
Bike Test: Specialized Enduro Pro
The Enduro has been a mainstay of the Specialized line for more than a decade, and in that time it's morphed from a gangly dualie with an anemic 4.5 inches of rear squish, to the space-age gravity beast you see here.
Bike Test: Kona Abra Cadabra
Our goal was to design an enduro bike that would climb like an XC bike and descend like an all-mountain bike. The Cadabra is designed to transition between climbing and descending mode intuitively, no switches necessary. Pedal forces keep the Magic Link from engaging for shorter, more linear travel, while speed and bumps engage the linkage for more deeper, progressive travel.
Bike Test: Rocky Mountain Slayer 70
"Our goal was to create the best all-mountain/enduro bike possible. It needed to be light (sub 30 pounds) and pedal well on long climbs, yet have enough travel (6.5 inches) and burl to tackle the steepest. gnarliest descents. In short, the perfect "one bike" for all terrain."
Bike Test: Transition TR250
Aesthetically speaking, Transition's TR250 stands out from the other big-travel bikes in our test. Out on the trail, the Transition proved just as unique: It's a nimble-yet-fearless, mini-DH bike.
Bike Test: Cannondale Jekyll Ultimate
By Joe Parkin Cannondale Jekyll Ultimate $8,000 / cannondale.com Maybe it's just me, but Cannondale's new Jekyll is one powerful finalist in the Most Anxiously Awaited New Bike category for 2011. Perhaps it's the unique and complex Fox Racing Shox DYAD RT2 rear shock that can change the Jekyll's rear-travel characteristics at the flip of […]
Bike Test: Intense M9-FRO
By Brice Minnigh Intense M9-FRO $3,150 (frame with Cane Creek Double Barrel shock) / intensecycles.com When we first began riding this blood-red Intense M9-FRO almost a year ago, we were so blown away by its penchant for pure speed that we likened it to Slayer and Sepultura: Fast, uncompromising and relentless. After several months—and many […]
Bike Test: Specialized Safire FSR Pro
Specialized Safire FSR Pro $4,500 / specialized.com
Bike Test: Jamis Dakar XCT 4
Before testing the Dakota D29 hardtail for this year's Bible of Bike Tests, I hadn't climbed aboard one of Jamis' offerings for a long time. In fact, the last time I can remember goes all the way back to when this magazine was a toddling two-year old. I enjoyed the company's hardtail 29er so much that I jumped at the chance to see what they're capable of in the full-squish department. Jamis did not disappoint.
Bike Test: Tomac Supermatic 120-1
One of the newest additions to the growing Tomac line is the Supermatic 120. This new trail bike wrangles 4.7 inches of rear suspension out of an all-carbon frame that weighs just five pounds (including rear shock). So, yeah, it's damn light. The real motivator, however, behind building the Supermatic out of carbon was to boost stiffness. Joel Smith, Tomac Bikes' owner and principle designer, has said that his goal with the Supermatic 120 was to create "a trail bike with cross-country sensibilities and downhill capabilities." It took just a few miles of particularly nasty singletrack to confirm that this is more than just idle talk.
Bike Test: Dual Review – Rocky Mountain Element 70 MSL
From the Designer The Element MSL is designed to be one of the stiffest and lightest 120-millimeter bikes on the market while still retaining the qualities that Rocky Mountain is known for: race pedigree, rough-and-tumble durability and technical descending prowess. By developing some new technologies, we were able to hit our performance targets and create a bike that rides like a Rocky should. —D'Arcy O'Connor
Bike Test: Norco Range 2
The Range is Norco's new all-mountain model. Bucking the carbon-fiber trend (for now, at least), Norco crafts the Range's carcass out of 6061-aluminum. The main frame is a sexy mix of hydroformed tubes replete with nice touches, including integrated dropper-post cable guides and a set of finger holds, molded into the rocker link, which allow for easier portaging during hike-a-bikes.
Bike Test: Breezer Cloud 9 Ltd
Lively and carbon are two words not often used in the same sentence unless prefaced by the word 'not.' Somehow, however, Joe Breeze managed to meld these words nicely together. The bike had a playful feel, when pushed through corners and mobbed though rock gardens, usually reserved for steel or high-end aluminum frames.
Bike Test: Dual Review – Intense Tracer 29
We wanted to make a 29er for the non-29er crowd—no disrespect intended—a burly 29er that was made to thrash and play, yet still had the finesse to hammer uphill and on the flats. We wanted to build a bike that would be ahead of its time and would define the category. —Jeff Steber
Bike Test: Devinci Wilson RC
The completely redesigned Devinci Wilson is a radical departure from previous incarnations of its downhill platform.
Bike Test: Specialized Epic Comp Carbon 29er
It was no surprise when Specialized issued a 29er version of the Epic last year. If ever there was a bike that cried out for a big-wheel makeover, it was this one. The Epic is a dyed-in-the-wool racer.
Bike Test: Yeti SB-66 Pro
By Brice Minnigh Yeti SB-66 Pro $6,150 / yeticycles.com We at Bike were among the first few journalists in the world to get some shred time on Yeti's brand new all-mountain bike, the SB-66 Pro—which features a completely redesigned suspension platform intended to make it the company's best-pedaling bike to date. In what felt like […]

Though the weather outside has been dreary, some of this diversity news has been anything but!
This week, the We Need Diverse Books campaign announced that they're naming an award in honor of the late, great Walter Dean Myers! They are currently raising money through their IndieGoGo campaign and the hashtag #SupportWNDB.
School Library Journal and #WNDB also announced their collaboration. The collaboration will include a diversity-themed event at the 2016 ALA Midwinter conference and support for the diversity-themed festival to be held in the Washington, D.C. area in 2016.
We're also excited to see all of the diverse movies being released:
The Book of Life, the Mexican-themed fantasy-adventure was released last week! Manolo, an adventurer, travels through magical worlds to rescue his one true love and defend his village from death!
Dear White People, the comedy-satire that started as a Youtube concept trailer premieres today. Dear White People was the winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival's Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent. This comedy is a clever satire of race relations in the age of Obama.
Disney's next heroine will be Moana. The eponymous film will be about a teenaged explorer from Oceania who travels the ocean with a demigod named Maui in search of an island. It's set to be released in 2016!
Have you seen any great news about diversity this week?

The Ownership Principle
- Thursday, April 22, 2010
It has set the course for entire nations. When permitted to reign, it has changed lives and created fortunes for millions; it's given general peace and prosperity to countless more. What is this very simple concept? Ownership.
As a worldview, capitalism is based completely on private ownership, while communism abolishes private ownership in favor of collectivism, which stresses human interdependence over private independence. When I think of collectivism, I think of Hillary Clinton opining that "It takes a village to raise a child." One core reason for homeschooling our children is the belief that it is our God-given responsibility to raise them, not that of the secular village. If you are homeschooling, you are deliberately taking ownership of your children's education and training. I highly commend you for this decision, but it does have its price, as does anything commendable.
Perhaps the most common lament I hear from homeschooling moms is, "I just can't do it all! I'm exhausted, burned out, and if I have to make one more lesson plan or correct one more math paper, I think I will jump off the proverbial cliff!" Of course we get tired and worn out when we are constantly in the driver's seat of our children's education; homeschooling is not a job for the faint of heart whether you school one child or ten.
What I would like to share with you in this article is the single most important life-changing tip I could ever give. It is simple, yet so many parents miss it because education just is not done this way in a public or private classroom. Mass education does not lend itself to individualization, and giving a child ownership of his education is as individualized as it gets.
The Key to Motivation
If you homeschool, you have taken ownership of your children's education. However, that doesn't mean you have to do all the work and be a teacher in the same sense as a teacher in a classroom. Children in a classroom are dictated to; the teacher tells them to do something, and they may or may not do it to the best of their ability. We've all been students in a classroom, and many factors determined how successful we were—or were not—at the role. The onus is on the teacher to present the material, see that most of the students grasp it, and then move on to the next thing. This same pattern is repeated for 12 long years—unless you have a teacher who does things a little differently.
In the fifth grade, I had a science teacher by the name of Mr. Richards. Mr. Richards didn't think it was his job to throw information at us, have us take notes, and give a test at the end. He would have us sign "contracts." If you wanted an A, you would research certain topics and do certain experiments, and the bar was set at a particular level. If you didn't want to work that hard, for a B you could do fewer activities; for a C you did fewer still. He gave us class time to work, and he was there to answer questions, but for the most part, he gave us the materials and stood back and let us go.
I always went for the A. Most of my fellow students did as well. Why? Because we were in the driver's seat! Sure we wanted A's, and once we saw what needed to be accomplished to achieve that goal, nothing could stop us. We loved working independently and seeing our grades be a direct result of our efforts. I still remember doing research on Albert Einstein and explaining the theory of relativity in my little fifth-grade vocabulary.
I had a desire to achieve in an environment that allowed me, the student, to take ownership of my science education. Incidentally, Mr. Richards was also the only teacher I ever had who invited his students and their parents to his home. He took us on nature walks and shared his knowledge hands-on. So he wasn't just abandoning his students to fend for themselves; he merely taught in more ways than one.
What does it mean to give a student ownership of his education? It means the student knows what needs to be done, and he does it to the best of his ability, asking for help as needed. We as parents choose the curriculum and provide an environment conducive to learning, but the actual process of learning and absorbing information is literally up to the student. You can lead a horse to water, after all, but you can't make him drink. What will make the horse drink? Motivation. The key to motivation is ownership.

Abiding Above - May 3, 2013
Wisdom In Living
May 3, 2013
"Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12
In God's Word, we are told to avoid every kind of evil. Foolish actions can ruin a person's influence for God, so we should not be unwise in how we relate to others. We need to act wisely and be a good example in all that we do. We are to let our light shine brightly before all men, because it is important to remember that others are noticing our life. As children of God, we are ambassadors for Jesus Christ. We are to represent Him well by being wise in the way we live out our lives before others. The Bible tells us that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore we are to keep it clean inside and outside. We have a responsibility to keep our bodies strong and healthy so that we can work effectively for the Lord.

She's put away her lasagna recipes. She's broken out her sweats. And the results have been positively stunning for Marissa Jaret Winokur.
The Hairspray star turned heads and dropped jaws at this week's premiere for Wreck-It Ralph, showing off a figure that has reportedly dropped from a Size 14 to a Size 2. Damn! You go, girl...
Marissa Jaret Winokur Before and Marissa Jaret Winokur After. Rather impressive, no?
Winokur said she started to shed the weight in January, after a doctor recommended a change to her eating and workout habits.
She's since lost 60 pounds, but recognized on the red carpet that "I'm still in Hollywood. I still will be considered a chubby actress."
Still, Winokur isn't about to get that get her down. She has life firmly in perspective.
"I've had a great career. I'm happily married. I have a beautiful son," she said. "I've never felt like my weight defines me."
SIZE 2 ???? C'mon now...she is at least a size 16 even with the weight loss. Heidi Klum is a size 2 and she only weighs 115lbs. Glad she lost weight - but don't lie about dress sizes.
Considering the fact that she isn't even five feet tall, 115 lbs or a size 2 looks 100% different on her than someone such as Heidi Klum.
