Alana sprinted out the door and into the street.She wouldn't stop, she crashed into an elder green Twi'lek, but didn't help him up, she just got up and continued to run.
She Force jumped over the closed stands in the streets.Pushed her way through the crowds in downtown.She ran through a 24 hour diner , her side ached and her feet hurt but she couldn't stop running.She was sure those clones had sent some others to look for her.She knew that if she was caught again the penalty will be much worse.
She ran and ran.Finally she couldn't take it anyomore, she stopped, sat down in the dark, empty alley , and cried herself to sleep.
Alana woke up at the first light she felt touch her face.
"She has to be here somewhere,"She heard a clone say.
The voice didn't sound too far away.So Alana quickly crawled under a broken speeder.
The clones looked into the alley but didn't walk in.
"A girl wouldn't hide in there!"One clone protested.
"You're right,"Their captain said,"Let's keep moving!"
"Those clones obviously don't know me at all!"Alana thought to herself as she crawled out.
Her white shirt was now, officially, brown. But she kept on running.
Today her goal would be to find some help.It was a Saturday , so she could find her friends out of their classes easily.
She ran out of the alley and toward where the Temple was.
"When do you think that they will put her on trial?"Jax asked his new friends as he bit out of his apple.
Ahsoka shrugged.
"Hey,uh guys.I am going to see my sister and my friends at the boarding school later today.Do you any of you want to come?"Samelo asked walking up to the 2 that were munching on apples behind the Temple.
"Sure,why not?"Ahsoka replied.
"I never met them,so sure!"Jax then said.
"Can I come?"
The 3 of them whirled around to see Alana's head sticking out from behind a crate.
"Alana!"Samelo gasped.
"Did they let you go?"Jax ran toward her.
"No,"Alana said simply.
"I guess you broke out?"Ahsoka grinned mischievously.
"Yep!"Alana replied.
"I'll be right back!"Samelo said he ran into the Temple.
"D-do you guys think that you might want to help me?"Alana asked Jax and Ahsoka.
The 2 looked at each other.
"Help you as in what?"Jax asked.
"Find proof that I'm innocient,"Alana was worried that her friends didn't believe her anymore.
Ahsoka walked up to her friend,"Alana,I'll help you,but I can't be much of a help.I'm sorry but I can't risk being banned by the Jedi."
"Same here,"Jax said.
"I'll help!"Samelo shouted from behind.
He walked up to Alana and handed her a lightsaber.
Alana examained it, it was hers alright!
"Thanks,"she told him.
"Now lets go to the school, Angela and the others will be happy to see that your ok,"Samelo said.
"OK, but we'll have to go through the back streets, clones are looking for me on the main ones,"Alana told them.
"Great, so I'm friends with a wanted person!"Ahsoka laughed.
Alana smiled and shook her head and thought to herself,"And I'm the wanted person, wanted for doing something I didn't even know about."

So…Kanye West is actually pretty mad, eh?
During his monologue Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel addressed the rapper's profanity-studded Twitter rant from earlier today in which he went off on the late-night host in response to a bit from Jimmy Kimmel Live that poked fun at Kanye's much-talked-about interview with BBC Radio One.
"Quick question," Jimmy kicked off the show. "Did anyone else get a very angry phone call from Kanye West about an hour and a half ago? Just me? OK, I didn't know if he was mad at all of us." Picking up the subject again about 15 minutes later, he described the pre-rant call he got from Kanye.
"He told me I had two choices: apologize publicly…and that was really the only choice!" Jimmy said. "The other choice he gave was that my life—'Your life,' he said, 'is going to be much better if you apologize.' Then he started tweeting today and I don't even know if I've seen some of these tweets, because they're happening as we speak…"
Then Jimmy started going through Kanye's tweets (which were all in caps), starting with the one that got the ball rolling: "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years."
He continued to parse the tweets, including the one that inquired whether Jimmy would like it if Kanye did a spoof about "your face or you f–king Ben Affleck." "Which, by the way, was a spoof," Jimmy reminded everyone. "I don't know if he thought that was news." Noting the use of the hash tags "#nodisrespecttobenaffleck" and "#alldisrespecttojimmy kimmel," he cracked, "A lot of hash in those tags."
"And he told me this on the phone, I swear," the veteran funnyman continued, "he said, 'I am the most powerful voice in media. I am 'Pac! He said 'I am 'Pac' a few times to me. He said, 'You'll never be able to show your face at a 14-year-old's high school football game and be cool again.'
"He really is 'Pac," Jimmy said, smiling but looking a bit baffled. "That's right ouf of the Tupac playbook, isn't it?"
"I don't understand it, I don't know why he's angry again," Jimmy continued. "I thought the bit was pretty innocuous. Finally I'm in a rap feud."
"Do you have my back?" he asked side-kick Guillermo, who promised, while munching on a snack, to watch his boss' back.
"Right now we're at Def-Kanye Five," Jimmy concluded. "Thanks, Kanye, appreciate it."
He promised to keep us posted and all remains quiet on the Twitter front for now.
After all his antics (Taylor Swift, beating up cameramen) how can anyone take Kanye West seriously? Let me know what you think on my facebook page by clicking here.

The DNA Bomb
michael posted more than 13 years ago | from the splicing-and-dicing dept.144
Anonymous Coward writes: "While the world is scrambling to nail down the 1972 treaty of biological and chemical weapons, scientists are bracing for GM weapons. Some top experts in the field speculate in an article about "genetic assassination," "lifestyle targeting," "superweeds" to kill GM crops, etc. This goes way beyond just beefing up known pathogens or splicing a couple of them together, even beyond the 1997 fears of an "ethnic bomb." All very over-the-horizon, but fascinating. I'm glad these scientists stuck their necks out to discuss these controversial topics. Especially the step-by-step instructions for making a virus with one person's name on it given by William Nierman, the director of research of the Institute for Genomic Research, and a "lifestyle" weapon conceived by a Harvard geneticist. There's comment from the White House and others, too. At very least a fun read." A little premature reading about this today, but give it a few years... Reading about nuclear weapons in 1940 would have seemed outrageous too.

YOU GUYS our baby just learned how to play with Linus! She watched us playing with the cats, and then tried it herself. She giggles when he bats the toy!
We are going to have a baby!
…or maybe this pregnancy thing is just an elaborate ruse so we get lots of tiny clothes to put on the cats.

If you use this app, I hope that you at least have a keyboard for your iPad. If not, I question what sort of glutton for punishment you are.
The idea of manipulating HTML with the iOS onscreen keyboard is one that fills me with dread.
But if you feel the need to edit HTML files on the go, this app could help service that need.

It's one of those "does what it says on the tin" style apps.

I agree with why she didn't like the place. I followed my heart in the end.
Qingdao is a great place to visit. They court tourism and promote their city well. ...

The path links a number of sandy beaches, parks and tourist sites and runs for a good few kilometres, so you could easily spend half a day walking along it.

This is the closing song from the Mixed Signals: An Evening of Electronic Music concert. Recorded live April 25th at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder. It's an improvised piece with @antidata (A6 Andromeda), @Victoria-Lundy (Theremin), and @MarkMosher (Nord Lead 4).
Victoria (theremin) and I (Ableton + Push) performed live to air and then did an interview to promote our upcoming Mixed Signals Show at the Dairy Center. Advanced tickets here https://thedairycenterforthearts.secure.force.com/ticket/#sections_a0Fi00000079e9SEAQ
I'm just loving the Nord Lead 4. It's a great all around synth but I'm finding it quite outstanding for experimental work. This is a single custom Nord Lead 4 preset from INIT droning one note. I'm using morphing along with manual tweaking. http://www.MarkMosherMusic.com

Computerless Jam Rig: Octatrack + Blofeld + Zoom H2 on Flickr.
It ends up that blofeld feeding Octatrack is a pretty sweet ambient jam rig
Rehearsing song "Dormant" performed on Ableton Push for my upcoming album on Flickr.
The first song on my new album will be the title track "Dormant". I've played it out before to experiment with arrangements. I used to perform it on Maschine, and now have a super bad ass version for the album played on Ableton Push. It's in a state now where I can perform the song live using only Push with live sequencing for drums and one bass line. All other parts are played live. I'm playing 7 or 8 VSTs in Ableton racks split across the grid. I'm rehearsing it this week and will lay down the album version over the weekend by recording three takes playing all the notes and automation live, and pick my favorite one. It will be a great set opener. Woot!

Jaben sells the ASG-2 ? i went in before and they didnt have it ! i tried the parterre at the mook fest...still prefer the ASG-2 , they fit me alot , the Parterre was just something i did not have a strong liking to , espically since it had a relative poor price to performance ratio not worth the $1600 price tag , felt more like a $1300 IEM at best.

AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is proposing dusting off and finally launching an old environmental satellite championed by Al Gore but shelved a dozen years by his 2000 rival George W. Bush.
Obama proposed Wednesday spending nearly $35 million in his 2014 budget to refurbish a satellite, nicknamed GoreSat by critics, that's been sitting in storage after it was shelved in 2001, months after Bush took office. It cost about $100 million by then with NASA's internal auditors faulting its cost increases.
In 1998, Gore, then vice president, proposed the idea of a satellite that would head nearly 1 million miles out in deep space in a special gravity balancing area between Earth and the Sun. The satellite would gaze at Earth, beam down a continuous picture of our planet and take what scientists said was needed climate change measurements.
It originally was named Triana after the sailor on Christopher Columbus's crew who first sighted land in the Americas. NASA later changed its name to Deep Space Climate Observatory or DISCOVR. But it often got called GoreSat by opponents who called it an expensive screensaver for the vice president.
Since it was canceled, the satellite has been at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. In 2009 and 2010, NASA spent another $14 million to refurbish its instruments. NASA this year has spent $3.4 million to test it. Obama put $9.9 million in NASA's budget for two science instruments and $23.7 million in the budget of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The new launch, paid for by the Air Force, is set for November 2014. It will be run by NOAA. Acting NOAA chief Kathryn Sullivan said its main mission will to give Earth warning when solar storms -- which can zap power systems on the ground and fry satellite electronics -- are on the way. That job is now being done by a NASA satellite that has surpassed its scheduled lifetime, she said.
"It is indeed still a valuable instrument," said Sullivan, a former astronaut.

On the GFCI breaker I swapped, the white wire came installed on the breaker right out of the box. It was not removable.
Thank you for the quick reply. I would not have known that, but once I read your post, I ran downstairs and now see this makes perfect sense. Will Ace or Menard's carry it?

Stripping Belgian lager girl off UK shelves
A Belgian lager whose label features a buxom lass in a removable swimsuit* has been removed from sale in the UK, The Publican reports. Rubbel Sexy Lager label featuring young lady in swimsuit Rubbel Sexy Lager - brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe - violated The Portman Group's Code of Practice, the Independent Complaints Panel ruled, …
call me crazy but
surely buying lager with scratch and sniff porn on the side is the furthest thing possible to sexual success. Maybe we ought to implement some kind of parliamentary sex-ed program is they think this in any way constitutes "scoring"
What's a few missing brain cells .......
How very strange that the label would not have men pondering what they were doing getting sozzled rather than starting a party. Brain damage, maybe?
Are they an attractive spectacle, the Sozzled? :-)
Cool hand Luke
I'd expect that this was like those temperature sensitive toys that you get for the kids. The bikini is only visible when the contained beverage is cold. Put your hand on it and the film warms enough to become transparent revealing the pic underneath. In the end, you need either warm beer or an empty bottle for the pic to stay visible. Of course an empty bottle in a freezer doesn't count and Luke is out of luck.
Lager's not ale
They're both beers, but lager isn't ale - in Copenhagen or elsewhere.
I notice that one of the other beer aficionados adds: "The best thing about this beer is the label." Nuff said!
Beer goggles
I wonder if there would be a market for a bottled beer with a picture of an ugly woman. So you can tell when you've had enough.
Lager Girl
I have seen printing like that on a calendar.
When you rub her underwear with a wet finger it disappears! It was the best calendar I have ever seen and then my boss got hold of it and it disappeared.
I'm not sure if rubbing the bottle with wet fingeres is better than scratching the bottle, but its all fun and games so who cares?
Been There, Done That
Quote: "I wonder if there would be a market for a bottled beer with a picture of an ugly woman. So you can tell when you've had enough."
We Americans did that *long* ago - The beer: Olde Frothingslosh, the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom! The picture on the can features the fictional "Fatima Yechburgh":
I don't think the ploy worked, though. How's that saying go? "Beer: Helping ugly women have sex since 1869" or somesuch? Methinks it goes back _much_ farther than that, and I'd wager it's just as helpful for the ladies when presented with the dregs of man-dom. Hell, I'm married, that must be proof! I doubt a picture on a can will stem the tide. ;-)

The Don'ts Of Power Strip and Extension Cord Use
Filed under: Cable Management, Cables and Wires, Electrical
When it comes to installing power strips and extension cords it is important to install them correctly to ensure that they not only function accordingly but also provide a safe means of power for any application. Here are some of the don'ts of power strip and extension cord usage you may need to consider when installing them.
Don'ts Of Power Strip and Extension Cord Use
1) Extension cords are designed for temporary use only and should only be used for short periods of time. Never use an extension cord for weeks or even months at a time as this may cause harm to your devices and may result in overheating or overuse of the cord.
2) Power strips and other uninterruptible power supplies should never be used if they don't have a resettable circuit breaker integrated into the design. Circuit breakers are designed to cut power instantly to the compatible devices causing them to avoid the risk of overloads. If your power strip doesn't feature a resettable circuit breaker then it is best to replace it with a newer version for added safety.
3) Another no, no of power strip use is daisy chaining your power cords. Daisy chain is the method of plugging one device into another and then into another off the same power supply outlet. This form of installation can cause lowered power functions throughout the installation and can cause your devices to overheat.
4) Another thing that should not be done when installing a power strip is to overload it. Overloading your power strip with multiple devices running at once can cause the circuit breaker to trip. If this happens do not force the installation to function as it may cause it to overload and overheat resulting in a fire. You should also not cover any electrical boxes or strips as this may also cause the device to overheat resulting in a fire.
5) Lastly this may be common sense, although you should never use any sort of electrical device near moisture or wet areas. The risk of electrocution is extremely high when used in combination with water and may result in a fatality. Always use your power strips, extension cords and other electronics in dry areas.
The Fox: Tough Single-Channel Cable Protection Without the Flip-Top Lids
Filed under: Cord Covers
It's not sly or sexy, so I'm not sure why they call it the Fox™, but you have to admit – this cord cover has a simple, straightforward design that just has a certain appeal. What makes the Fox different from other medium to heavy duty cable protectors? As I was reminded as I traipsed over an endless sea of cord covers at a local Fall festival a few days ago, the first obvious difference is that they don't have the standard hinged, flip-open tops of most other rugged cable protectors on the market. And secondly, they don't have the "easy-to-kick-out-of-place-if-it's-not-actively-anchored-down" dropover design that's characteristic of many medium capacity cord covers. It like a perfect best-of-both-worlds hybrid of the two. Let me tell you what I mean.
The Fox cable protector has a heavy duty polyurethane body that encloses cables all around and sits firmly on the ground, just like a high-capacity cord cover. But on the other hand, its interior is made up of a single, unsegmented channel, and it's incredible simple to load, just like most medium-capacity cord covers. Mix those seemingly opposing attributes together, and you get a cable cover that can withstand just over 10 tons (per axle) of vehicle run-over weight and some pretty heavy pedestrian traffic, but is as easy to use as running your hoses and cables through the narrow, flexible open channel along the top.
Flexible, open channel? Of course – how else did you think you were going to get your cables in if there are no hinged lids? The Fox's cable entry point is a narrow lengthwise channel with flexible sides that let you easily push in or pull out cabtles without the need to open and close covers – it's really pretty cool, and a perfect solution if you don't need multiple channels to keep several different cables separate along their path.
Retractable Powr-Reel: No More Beat-Up Extension Cords
Filed under: Power and Data Distribution
Ever notice how beat up extension cords seem to get? I'm not talking about the delicate, super-flexible little ones that you use to stretch lamp cords or plug in indoor Christmas lights, that never come into contact with anything tougher than a dust bunny. I'm talking about the ones that are skulking in your garage, workshop or basement – the heavy-duty ones that are good for power tools and always look like they've been run over by the lawnmower, chewed by the dog, and recently dragged through paint and sawdust – right before someone took a hammer to the plug.
How does anyone in their right mind feel safe using an electrical component in such sorry shape? And how, again, does someone in their right mind let a highly useful yet potentially damgerous piece of equipment get into that state of disrepair? I'm not really sure on either count, but there's one thing I do know: most of us can't be trusted, and our extension cords should be better protected from, well… us.
Luckily, General Cable got a clue about the sad plight of working extension cords, and came up with the Powr-Reel™, a retractable 3-outlet extension cord that's packed safely away inside a sturdy metal casing. When you're ready to use it, just pull out the length you need (it will automatically lock into place), do what you've got to do, and when you're done, retract it back into the enclosed reel with nothing more than a tug.
This is a great product on multiple levels: not only is the electrical cord saved from constant repeat beatings by its case, but you're also spared the clutter of cable slack thanks to the lockable length. And did I mention that it makes transport just a little easier? Instead of slinging a loosely-coiled/semi-tangled cord into your trunk or truck bed, just grab the Powr-Reel's handy case and stow it wherever you need it, without worry of damage or knots.

U.S. Rep. John Conyers on-again, off-again roller coaster ride for the Aug. 5 ballot took a new twist Friday when U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman put him back on back on the ballot,
His decision, released late Friday, contradicts the Secretary of State's review of Conyers petition, which found earlier in the day that Conyers had less than half the required signatures of valid registered voters on the petitions he turned in to qualify for the Aug. 5 primary ballot.
There may have been those among us who were ready for the inevitable, but I sure wasn't. Tim Carpenter remained a dynamic force until the day he died, and remains so now.
Of course those who knew Tim, know that he battled health problems all his life. Living in extreme and continuous pain from Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), like some bizarre sadomasochistic curse from the divine that also served as his moral compass, wasn't enough.
A tribute to the radical Democrat and "ultimate organizer."
I first met Tim Carpenter in January of last year, at Progressive Central in Washington, D.C. The third such event in Progressive Democrats of America (PDA)'s 10-year history, the day-long round of panel discussions united left-wing members of Congress such as John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) with activists from the labor, anti-war and environmental movements.
I want to join today with so many who are remembering the life of Tim Carpenter, a life-long advocate for social, economic and environmental justice.
Tim Carpenter, a political activist and founder of the Progressive Democrats of America, died Monday after a battle with melanoma.
Carpenter, 55, spent much of his adult life defending progressive causes, including nuclear disarmament, campaign finance reform and a single-payer health care system. He worked as an organizer for the presidential campaigns of the Rev. Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) in 1992, and addressed the Democratic National Convention as a delegate in 1992. He lived in Florence, Massachusetts.
With the passing of Tim Carpenter, progressive activism lost one of the great minds - and hearts - in the fight against the corporate takeover of American politics. As one of the founders of Progressive Democrats of America, he led both from the grassroots level and by connecting with key progressives within congress, championing the best politicians of our day.
Progressive radio host Thom Hartmann details Carpenter's career in his great piece:
The following statement was read into the Congressional Record on April 29, 2014 by Representative John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan.
The New Progressive Era lost a giant with the passing of Tim Carpenter on Monday, following a protracted battle with cancer.
As co-founder and National Director of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), Tim was a force of nature. His energy and determination were contagious. He lit the room with his larger-than-life personality and his jolly smile. Tim was my friend, my mentor, and my comrade in the fight for economic and social justice in the United States and the world. Along with 1000s of PDA members nationwide, I will miss him.
Once again, Koch brothers cash will face off against a people-powered campaign in Wisconsin this November. The race is for a House seat in the first Congressional District, a seat now held by Paul Ryan. His challenger – the first serious challenge he's faced in 14 years in Congress – is Rob Zerban, a restaurateur and County Commissioner.
Everywhere I go during my campaign — parades, farmers markets, even the local deli — I keep hearing the same thing from Wisconsin voters. "We need real representation," they tell me, "representation that's focused on the people and what we need."
"The message is clear: Paul Ryan must be held accountable for his 14 years of failed decisions"
"He had a minor in economics," Rob Zerban says of his opponent. "What experience does he have to say that he's the great budget oracle?" "The people of the First District can see where that budget impacts their lives. Their bridges start to crumble. We've got 16 bridges on federal highways alone in the district that have been declared structurally deficientm and that doesn't include county and local municipal bridges.
Typically during an election cycle, it often comes down to voting for the lesser of two evils. You choose the one who supports the issues most meaningful to you – or at least doesn't outright defy them. It can be difficult to encounter a candidate who personifies the conviction and integrity you would imagine only in a perfect political world.
Today, Rob Zerban, Democratic Congressional challenger to Congressman Paul Ryan, released the following statement in response to the introduction of Paul Ryan's FY2013 "Path to Poverty" budget.
"In yet another misguided handout to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street, Congressman Paul Ryan today introduced his latest budget plan, designed to place the blame for his 14 years of poor decisions squarely on the backs of our hardworking families.
When I began this campaign, I made a commitment to serve as a voice of the people- not of corporations.
I have been putting that into action. In the last few weeks, I have been working overtime to kickoff my campaign with rallies across the district.
The American Civil Liberties Union, Free Press and the Save the Internet campaign have made it clear that the Stop Online Piracy Act poses a genuine threat to human rights advocacy and whistleblowing on the Web.
On Friday, September 12th more than 150 activists will go to DC and Demand that their Senators and Representatives support removing the ratification deadline from the ERA (SJ Res 15 and HJ Res 113)

I was just thinking that we need a topic like this one in here.
Post whatever game that has been out at least 6 months, that is in your opinion a must have on PS3 / PC / other not named platform.
If possible also post a link to a (or multiple) site where the specific game is on offer for just a fraction of the normal prize.
11:20 am
Good topic…always helpful to find some cheap deals!
Right off the top of my head, I'd have to go with:
- Borderlands – My personal favorite FPS of last year!
- Bayonetta – My most underrated game of last year!
- Vanquish – Not sure how cheap this can be had for…can't be that much.
2:15 pm
Borderlands GOTY, right? Since it has all the DLC and is $40 and thus much cheaper than getting just the game for $20 and buying the DLC.

Okay it's been a busy week without much time to sit down at the computer and blog my life away. I've got a lot to catch up on. First on the list is the inaugural race for Encino Velodrome's 50th season — Black Line Fever.
The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold, which made for a great day at the velodrome. Race director and announcer Alfred Nash had a great program of events including Points Races, Match Sprints, Miss N Outs, Win N Outs and even a Slow Race. Alfred definitely knows how to put on a fun and exciting race event. You rock, dude!
Some of the fields were a little on the thin side with a lot of the usual suspects absent. There were only three racers in the Men's Cat 1/2 and Cathy Keeley (Herbalife La Grange) pick up an easy victory being the only one entered in Women's Cat 1/2 — she raced with with Masters 45+ field just to make it interesting. On the other hand, the Juniors fields were pretty full with young racers from Connie Cycling and Encino Velo duking it out. The Encino Velo kids took the most podium positions with that home court advantage.
One of Encino Velo's most promising young talents, Daniel Kosykh handed in an awesome performance, tearing up the Men's Cat 3/4 field. James Enright (Swami's Cycling) took second place.
Another great ride came from Michael Weitze (Surf City Cyclery), who won each event of the Masters 45+ Omnium. Everyone else was just trying to hang on during his clean sweep performance.
No doubt the biggest impression was left by Project London rider Kevin Mansker who not only won the Men's 1/2 Omnium — he also cracked Encino Velodrome's Flying 200m TT record. Mansker stuck around until after the end of the races to set a new track record of 11.18 seconds. Now that's fast! In fact the only ting Kevin wasn't so great at was riding slow — he lost the Slow Race to Jack Lindquist (Ritte Racing).
I had tons of fun both racing and watching and I can't wait for the next race in the Bob Hansing Memorial Cup at the end of the month. So without further ado, here's a short video from Pat Benson followed by the podium results…

With four more striped jerseys to hand out, tomorrow is the final day of the 2011 UCI World Championships and you can bet that we'll see a climactic end to the past five days of racing, especially with the women's Keirin in the mix. The Madison is always fun to watch too — despite being a little bit tough to follow. Tune in on a FREE LIVE FEED at Cycling Fans. I think coverage should start around 6:30am Pacific Time.
Men's Kilo TT » Even though the Kilo is no longer an Olympic event (thanks UCI!), we still have some pretty powerful legs vying for the title of World Champion. I expect that Teun Mulder (Netherlands) should be able to defend his stripes but you can bet we'll see some damn close times coming from the likes of Stefan Nimke (Germany) and Francois Pervis (France).
Men's Madison » The Australian duo of Cameron Meyer and Leigh Howard are back to defend their World Champion stripes. If they perform as well as they did last year, I think they'll have it clinched. But watch out for the deadly Dutch combo of Peter Schep and Theo Bos who will be running off the cheers of their home crowd.
Women's Omnium » Kirstin Wild (France) is leading in the Omnium standings but there are still three more events to contest tomorrow — Individual Pursuit, Scratch Race and 500m TT. Tara Whitten (Canada) is trailing right behind Wild in points and I still think she'll get back on top to defend her World Champ title.
Women's Keirin » This will be a great tournament to watch and probably the highlight of tomorrow's events. We've got some heavy contenders like the one and only Victoria Pendleton (Great Britain), Shuang Guo (China) and Kristina Vogel (Germany). Lithuania's Simona Krupeckaite will be looking to defend her World Champion title but there's just one problem — the new queen of sprints Anna Meares (Australia) who already outpowered Krupeckaite in the Match Sprints earlier today. Does Meares have what it takes to win the Keirin as well? I'm not sure but if she does it I will certainly be impressed. Get ready for some exciting Keirin races tomorrow.

The first day of competition at the World Championships was a good warm-up for what's to come. Tomorrow's schedule features events that have each had new World Records set within the past year. Will records fall again?
Women's Team Pursuit » Australia are the reigning World Champions in this event but if anyone can tear that title away from them it's Sarah Hammer and the USA team who set a new World Record in this event during the Pan American Games in Mexico last year.
Women's Team Sprint » Australia's Anna Meares and Kaarle McCulloch set a new World Record at last year's World Championships. They are the undisputed queens of the Team Sprint and the real question isn't whether or not they'll keep their stripes but if they'll set a new World Record tomorrow.
Men's Individual Pursuit » Last year's World Champ Taylor Phinney (USA) is too busy with his road career to play around on the track. You can thank the International Olympic Committee and UCI for removing the Individual Pursuit from the Olympics program but that doesn't mean this event has come to a stand-still by any means. Jack Bobridge (Australia) made huge headlines last month when he smashed the ultimate IP World Record and broke Chris Boardman's 1996 Superman position record. Can anyone top that?

American Express is a CardRatings.com advertiser.
American Express consumer cards are usually offered to people with excellent credit. But some American Express cards are known to be a little more lenient. If you have your own business, the Business Green Rewards Card from American Express OPEN is offered to people with "good credit."
I also have a feeling that American Express--given that they are kind of the gold standard when it comes to specializing in cards for people with truly stellar credit--may have a different definition of "fair credit" than most consumers. We often tend to think our credit is a little better or a little worse than it actually is.
Determining the difference between "good" and "excellent" can be kind of difficult, of course, and depends not just on your credit score but on your overall credit history.
You may have "good" credit if you carry some revolving debt but nothing too outrageous and you generally pay your bills on time, but may have been late once or twice in the last couple of years. In that case, if you are a business owner you may consider applying for that American Express card. The worst that can happen is they'll say no.
But if you're using more of your revolving debt than you should, and you've been late more often than not, but all in all, you're holding your own, you may indeed have "fair" credit. If that's the case, I think it's going to be pretty hard to find an American Express credit card at this time - unless you're willing to consider one of the prepaid cards that American Express has recently started offering.
If you're looking for a personal credit card for individuals with fair credit, and you don't mind that they're not from American Express, I'd recommend you take a look at either the Capital One® QuicksilverOne® Cash Rewards Credit Card or the Capital One® Platinum Credit Card or both from Capital One.

Do you have a "small superpower"?
My wife, a fellow fan of sci-fi and fantasy, mentioned to me at yet again another occurrence of something remarkable and yet normal that happens around me. She remarked, "that's what some call your 'small superpower'".
We laughed at it.
But that got me thinking, who else out there can identify a "small superpower" of their own. For ideas, things like:
- the traffic lights just seem to time themselves for your arrival most of the time.
- find missing collectibles for your own hobby in garage sales you just decide to stop at.
- rolling that vital 20, in the open, more often than odds would account for, just when it is needed.
- catching the knocked off condiment dispensers, in mid fall, avoiding the messy spill.
- mesmerizing infants with your stare, rarely inducing giggles or cries, just mesmerizing them.
My own small superpower? According to my wife, finding amazing parking spots near the entrances when people are with me in the car. By myself, it seems average. But when I have passengers, it's like the parting of the Red Sea.

I do, but nobody ever believes me when I mention it. It's always branded as 'internet bragging'.
My 'small' superpower is knowing exactly what to do in a fight. I've been in many dangerous situations, several of which where my life was on the line, and in the instant that it mattered, I knew *exactly* what to do, how to do it, and being able to see each step as if everything is in slow motion and I just move and it happens.
I've taken down people bigger than me (and I'm 6'2"), people with knives, multiple attackers and black belts. Yet in sparring or points matches, I get my ass kicked. It's only when it's a real and dangerous situation that some sort of switch flips and I become "Super Ninja Awesome."
*shrug* believe me, don't believe me. It's never failed me yet so that's all that really matters to me.

I have a really fast metabolism. People who don't know me keep telling me I shouldn't eat so much. But I don't seem to gain any weight from it, and I've been lithe all my life. But if that's a superpower, it's really lame.
I've also been in a lot of situations which could have turned real ugly, but somehow I've always managed to talk through them. Drunk people and the really dangerous looking people always think I'm their best friend. I have no idea why.
My sarcasm detector is fusion powered. Yeah, that's powerful enough.

I can sing along with songs I've never heard before. Not all songs, and not all perfectly, but close enough that people who don't know I've never heard the song ask me to tell them more about it. Which I can't.
Sometimes, I can't even recall the lyrics after I've sung them.
The main limiting factors: it has to be a genre of music I listen to and it HAS to be in English. And even if it ISN'T in English, I can often hum along.

I had a buddy who had an extremely minor but shockingly effective superpower: if we were standing outside somewhere (in the city, mind you), you could at any time say, "Don, where's a penny?" Without fail -- and I mean utterly without fail, despite having made the request more than 200 times -- he could think for about a half a second and then take no more than 5 steps and point to a penny on the ground. It was no trick, he wasn't chucking pennies, and he could do it 4 or 5 consecutive times before saying that there weren't any more.
It was truly bizarre, and incredibly minor, but never failed to amuse.

But maybe that's actually the ability of whichever show I'm watching on TV at the moment.

Would You? Galaxy Print for the Home
Many trends in décor start in fashion; neon, pastel, and color blocking were on the runway a few seasons before they fully transitioned into the home. Lately, you can't browse an trendy shop without seeing the Milky Way reproduced on leggings or tank tops. But would you decorate with these out-of-this-world prints?
Stars and constellations have been on trend for awhile, but the swirly solar systems are a new take. Though there aren't much in the way of galactic décor as of yet, the print is popping up on textiles like pillows.
Do you see a place for this spacey trend in your home?

Only--and only, mind you-- if you put a unicorn on it.
A unicorn in rainbow suspenders.
Then OK.
Those leggings were clearly made for those shoes.
PS. My eyes are burning!!
As an amateur stargazer, I have to say I'd decorate with this look before I'd wear it. Not sure I want a ballooning gas cloud emblazoned across my rear end.
Specifically, the print on the pillows would be good on an upholstered piece of furniture too - in the movie room or collection display room of someone who's a real geek for sci fi or space it would be a lot of fun with something that is a surprising choice for "nature print".
This is funner than the tights- (though I'd rock them if I was 20 years younger or just 20 pounds lighter). www.ceilingofdreams.com; it is more of a commitment.
I know I've said that before (and lied) but N.O. W.A.Y.
Noo and Noooooo! Well, maybe the cushions in a kids room. MAYBE.
In a basement family/fun room or a kid's room - sure, why not?
Sigh. Yes. I would totally do that. Am I doomed?
The leggings? No way. The pillows look quite fun, though!
I would. But only cause I terribly geeky. Like painfully so.
Like many others, I would never wear gassy tights! -Would probably love the same print as a scarf or subtle T-shirt, but never tights! As far as decor, I'd love it. Used sparingly and in coordination with other prints and patterns, it could be terrific. Especially awesome for a global, map-filled, and/or air transportation-themed room like an office, kids' room, play space, or school room!
The legging would only be appropriate for a tween (and with those shoes?), and I'd say the pillows would have similarly limited appeal.
HATE the leggings but LOVE the pillows!
@alobo Thanks for sharing the "ceiling of dreams" link. That looks amazing. I've never seen anything quite like it. If only I lived in Iowa...
Not unless it's a themed kids' room. SO kitschy.
Absolutely. My fiance is studying aerospace engineering, and my dream is to someday have a futuristic lunar themed living room, complete with a large scale photo mural of a nebula or a picture of the Earth from the moon. Those pillows would be great with a limited color palette of black, white, grey, and silver. Here's my mood board so far: http://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2009/07/lunar-living-room.html
I can't decide if that material is uglier as pants or pillows.
Conceptually, I don't see why you wouldn't make pants into pillows. Just not with that image.
Oh, wait--the pillows would look at home in Leonard & Sheldon's apartment.
Maybe if I was adding pizzaz to the Starship Enterprise cabins or putting some comfort into Captain Picard's chair.
In other words...nope nope nope.
The inner nerd in me loves the pillows. I think they would be fun for a guest room or child's bedroom.
they really had me laughing at their "heavenly" options! thanks for sharing.
I didn't notice where they are. I wish I could read horror stories of people who took the website at its word and trusted that their beautiful ceiling would still be there even after they sold their house. (Yes, it really says that.) Can you imagine moving into your new house and going to bed the first night to realize you're sleeping under the stars and your ceiling fan is a light outdoor breeze?
duh, space is RAD.
Yes and yes.
I would get the pillows in a heartbeat!

Oil Kings get ready for a sprint to the finish
Canadian major junior championship a different animal than best-of-seven series
London, Ont. — Adapt or die is too harsh a saying for major junior hockey, even for the MasterCard Memorial Cup, but adapt or lose certainly works.
For the best of the best in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), and that includes the Edmonton Oil Kings, a successful season is an extraordinary, multistage test.
Teams in the three junior leagues pound through 72-game regular seasons, then go four rounds of best-of-seven series in the playoffs with its back-and-forth, lengthy travel, overtime and, for the Oil Kings, a thrilling Game 7 victory over the Portland Winterhawks to win the Western Hockey League title.
For the second time in three seasons, the Oil Kings' reward is a berth in this short, unforgiving, four-team tournament, a different animal altogether from what has preceded it. This is not an all-star week in May, as some ingenues might be tempted to believe.
The Oil Kings' first game is 2 p.m. MDT Saturday against the Ontario Hockey League champion Guelph Storm, a high-octane club (a CHL-leading 340 regular-season goals) not unlike the Winterhawks.
"Adaptability is probably paramount in an experience like this," said Oil Kings associate coach Steve Hamilton. "You grind and you climb slowly and now you sprint. That's exactly what we've come down to: It's a sprint for the Memorial Cup.
"You've already reached what you thought was the summit and it was a false summit. Now you've got to up another (climb). I think our guys two years ago probably weren't ready for that.
"I feel differently about this year's team. I feel differently about the composition of our team and the group of guys that we have. I think they're ready to ask more of themselves for another week here."
The players certainly say they are, particularly the eight returnees from the 2012 Memorial Cup in Shawinigan, Que., where the Oil Kings won their opening match against the host Cataractes, then didn't win another game.
On Wednesday night, the Oil Kings held a team meeting to discuss how this tournament is different, how best to approach it, what the first-timers can expect, and so forth. The idea was to paint a portrait of the event, which opened Friday night with the host London Knights playing the Val d'Or Foreurs, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions.
"It was a bit of everything," centre Curtis Lazar said. "I know from my standpoint the games are on Sportsnet, so you're going to three or four TV timeouts a period compared to the one. It can really mess with your momentum.
"You will be a little more rested, but that stop-and-go isn't always the best thing for you. We talked about the ice conditions, looking back on Shawinigan. It was really hot there and the ice was sub-par, I guess you could say.
"I guess the big thing for us is to seize this opportunity, play with no regrets, because we don't want to repeat what happened in Shawinigan."
In a seven-game series, a team can drop a game or two, as the Oil Kings did against Portland, and still recover. Not here.
So the coaches have talked to the players about "performance on demand," a concept routinely associated with Olympic athletes, whose entire life is about summoning their best effort "on the day," as they say.
In hockey parlance, the players are aware they have to tap into the energy, urgency and detailed execution of a Game 7. And they will have to do that four, five or even six times, if the dreaded tiebreaker comes into play, in the next week.
"That's where our leadership will be really tested," Lazar said. "We're growing up and becoming pros.
"This is probably the closest you can get to playing at the pro level from a junior standpoint. You really want to rally your guys and be that go-to figure.
"Griffin (Reinhart, Edmonton's top defenceman) is the best at it. Just poise. You watch him, his play; he slows the game down. Tristan (Jarry, the goaltender), he always wants to make that big save.
"For myself, (it's about) just trying to get the energy up. Just those little things go a long way in the dressing room."
The players — and certainly the coaches — know more about their opponents than they are prepared to let on, but Lazar said the emphasis is on being ready to play your own game at a high level. As opposed to fussing too obsessively about the details of the opponents' game plan.
"We don't know what's going to happen," Lazar said. "People are asking, 'What do you expect from Guelph?' I don't know. I don't see them play at all during the season.
"That's what makes this special. It makes it special, but also tough to win."
Cole Benson, who was with the Oil Kings in 2012 but rarely played, said this Oil Kings team is not a candidate to get ahead of itself, to take anything for granted.
"Compared to two years ago, I get the sense that our team is really humble and that has brought us a long way this year," Benson said. "There's not a lot of cockiness on our team, we're all together as a group.
"If we stay that course, we're really going to do well in this tournament. Stay the course with how we've played the rest of the year, that's the biggest thing."
Sure. Stay the course, while sprinting to Canadian major junior hockey's ultimate finish line in a four-team pressure cooker on national TV.
Nothing to it.

Elizabeth J. Bogen, a 1961 Scheiber High School graduate and former editor of the Great Neck Record, died unexpectedly on Oct. 17, 2011 of complications after knee surgery. She was 68 years old.
Ms. Bogen earned a bachelor's degree cum laude from Bryn Mawr College, a master's degree in social work (Hunter College), and a second master's degree in East Asian studies from Columbia University. She was the award-winning editor of the Great Neck Record from the late 1960s until the early 1970s. She worked for several years at the VERA Institute for Justice in New York City and then moved to the New York City Planning Department where she did a study of contemporary immigration to New York City and published her findings in Immigration in New York in 1987. She was the founding director of the New York City Office of Immigrant Affairs and served in that post until 1990. Since then, she worked for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as a manager in the School Health Program.
Outside of her work, Elizabeth was fascinated by a wide variety of crafts and the design of handmade things. Her master's thesis in East Asian studies concerned the design and production of Chinese deco rugs. She was one of the first people to study these rugs and she published and spoke extensively on the topic. She was also an avid collector of handmade things ranging from African masks to contemporary American jewelry, pottery and glass. She was blessed with an eye for fine design and good craftsmanship.
The daughter of the late Ruth and Samuel Bogen, Elizabeth is survived by her brothers, Nicholas and Timothy, her sisters-in-law, Emily Klein and Marsha Lesowitz, and her nephews and niece, Benjamin, Matthew, Alexis, and Jeremy.

LP Valuations, Inc., provides fractional interest appraisals for owners of private real estate entities, including limited partnerships, private REITs, and tenants-in-common. We specialize in accurately calculating net asset values (NAVs) for our clients, based on sound market research and rigorous valuation methodologies. Our NAV valuation analyses provide owners and their advisors with current, historical, and prospective opinions of value that carefully consider potential NAV erosion, including:
- Sales and liquidation costs
- General partner profit participation upon a sale or refinance
- Multiple classes of equity and priority participations
- Potential debt defeasance upon liquidation
- Preferred returns
- Deferred maintenance
- Contingencies upon sale
The NAVs calculated by LP Valuations provide liquidation estimates that represent "fair value" as outlined by FASB 157, providing market appraisals as necessary for reporting purposes. LP Valuations' NAV calculations can also provide an independent data source in the event that a limited partner receives a tender offer to purchase units from a third party. Due to LP Valuations' independence from any of the programs it analyzes, our reports provide our clients with unbiased appraisals as an important alternate to the general partner's reported value.
