James Kronenberger, 47, is scheduled to leave the Marion Correctional Facility for good on Monday, having served the maximum prison term for one of the crimes.
"I think he's pretty much a dangerous individual," says Sean Kueller, who in 2003 became Kronenberger's last victim. Kueller, now 21-years-old, was in grade school when he was threatened on the phone by Kronenberger, who at that time had just been paroled.
Although Kronenberger never got his hands on Sean, the young man's family says they lived in fear, not knowing if their son was being stalked, followed, or somehow targeted by a predator.
"I had to be careful because he lived approximately two houses from my grade school," Sean told WKYC. "I could not take public transportation and it was advised that my parents always pick me up from school."
When the Kuellers were informed in 2003 of Kronenberger's criminal record, they were so frightened for their safety and that of their neighbors, they moved out of Cuyahoga County.
"The worry, the anxiety, the fact that we moved. You almost feel like you're the criminal and not the victim," said Sean's mother, Mary Dwyer Kueller. "We didn't know what would happen."
Kronenberger was eventually arrested on charges of harrassment and violating his parole, and was sent back to prison. His arrest on Kenmore Avenue in Parma is remembered well by Parma Police Detective Thomas Connor.
"I remember a pretty volatile situation down there on Kemore," Detective Connor said. "I remember getting phone calls, residents wanting to put signs up in their yards. People just kept calling that they had a sexual predator in the neighborhood and what could they do about it."
"It's true, Kronenberger is a sexual predator. He was labeled a predator by the courts and that's exactly what he is," the detective added.
Kronenberger's first imprisonment came after a 1987 incident in which he was convicted of trying to criminally entice children. He had access to police and military uniforms and was said to be a "master of disguise."
In 1993, he pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping and was sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. He was paroled in 2001, with the court finding that a "non-prison sanction will adequately protect the public." That was followed by Kronenberger's harrassment of Kueller in 2003 and his return to prison.
But Kronenberger almost got out again the following year. The Parole Board had scheduled a hearing to release him. The Kuellers found out about it and hurried to Columbus to testify against him.
"We were told we had only a 20 percent chance of convincnig the Parole Board to keep him in prison, even with what had happened to our son," says Tom Kueller, Sean's father.
"We spoke from the heart. We spoke as a mother and father concerned for their son, and what he was going through at the time," Kueller told WKYC.
"They had already decided they were going to let him go, and when I heard that I couldn't believe it. I said how can that be," recalled Mary Dwyer Kueller. "We didn't do anything wrong, but we had to make all these changes in our life."
The Parole Board decided to make Kronenberger serve out the rest of his maximum sentence. That ends on Monday, January 24, 2011, a day the Kuellers have been dreading for eight years.
"This individual is going to be out free and without any supervision," says Tom Kueller. "It is very, very scary to us and I think it's something the community should be aware of."
Kronenberger indicated in a pre-release form that he would be living in a house in Columbus, and not coming back to Parma. Wherever he resides, he will have to register his address with the local Sheriff, and neighbors must be notified within 5 days that a sexual predator is living in their midst.
Because his prison term is up, Kronenberger will not have to report to a parole officer, and there will be no other supervision on him.
"I'm here to warn people," Sean Kueller says. "To the residents where he'll be living, to the children living around him. It's important those families are aware of his presence, whatever community he moves into."
"No matter where Kronenberger is, he'll be going after children," says Parma Detective Connor. "This is his M.O. This is what he's done. He has done this his entire life, prey on children. And that's why he is a predator."

Ummm.... no. It's a beak. Wow. I'm pretty sure that the beak is the only hard part of the entire octopus, so I'm kind of surprised they didn't remove it before packaging. "._."

I'll eat any M*f*ing thing.
screw the picture.. that quote busted me up!
Oh, and I forgot to add a smiley to my last post. :)
Are you talking about its mouth, you anatomically truncated ignoramus? That thing inside its MOUTH is its beak, the octopus equivalent to teeth, you malodorous dingbat. Its anus is up by its funnel (breathing tube) and the legs are hiding it, you faecal-flinging wing-nut.

Screw Your Star Player(s)
Even if you think that it's been long enough since "The Decision" aired and that people should forget it, some people won't. Namely, fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers won't and they don't have to. While most of us know that the blame can be spread a long way in James leaving Cleveland – specifically to owner Dan Gilbert – some Cavs fans will simply never forgive James. NBA fans with no tie to Cleveland other than they've watched the Cavs play may never forgive James because no free agency announcement has ever been handled so poorly, with James and Maverick Carter using the Boys and Girls Club as a shield and ultimately playing the race card.
Aside from the Decision, though, perhaps no other athlete in the modern era has been held under a microscope as much as James. Hell, Alex Rodriguez is the highest paid player in baseball, was busted for using steroids and lying about it, and he was forgiven in a matter of months. James, on the other hand, is dominant and exciting to watch play, but he just seems to mishandle every major thing that he does or says. He's constantly digging himself a hole without ever stopping to say, "I'm only human." It's that expectation that we should adore him while he's given us very little to adore that makes us hate him.
What goes for James in this discussion also goes for any other superstar face of a franchise. If fans don't like the main man, they're not going to like the team. James and the Heat, Bryant and the Lakers, Rodriguez and the Yankees, Tom Brady and the Patriots – they're all hated by so many people, for various reasons obviously, but only one ultimately matters. We hate what we can't have, and we hate what we don't get.

Mind The Little Things… They Bite Hard if You Don't
13 Weeks to Family Financial Freedom: Week 8
August 17, 2013 - 10:00 pm
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much…" Luke 16:10
Have you ever had an epiphany?
Are all epiphanies so simple you wonder why you could't see it before? That's the way mine was. It went something like this: You know how your bank account seems to leak? Just $20.00 here, and $35.00 there, and the next thing you know a hundred dollars has vanished?
Well, if that's true, then it has to work both ways. Just $20.00 here and $35.00 there, and the next thing you know a hundred dollars has accumulated. Genius — I know.
Ok, so one man's epiphany is another man's "Well duh."
The bottom line is that the little things really do matter. The old adage "Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves" kept coming to mind this week. Although I plugged most of the holes, at least one of my money saving strategies backfired and it cost more rather than saved.
Here's what happened and how I fixed it.

BackgroundOn the verge of a long-awaited peace between the Green and the Tan, rogue elements of the Tan Army draw Sarge and his men out into combat. Out in the field, Sarge discovers a new and diabolical enemy-Colonel Malice-equipped with weapons that threaten the very existence of the Green Nation. With his squad destroyed, Sarge becomes a one man army out to stop Colonel Malice at all costs.
GameplayThe player controls Sarge in a movie-like combat experience featuring incredible plastic destruction effects. Gameplay is similar to Sarge's Heroes with less emphasis on run and gun and strafing, and more emphasis on actual combat tactics that require the player to use cover, stealth, and specific weapons to defeat specific enemies. Sarge's War will be harder edged than previous games in the Sarge's Heroes series.
- Defeat your eternal foe the Tan Army with authentic weapons such as carbine rifle, assault rifles, shotguns, bazookas, sniper rifles, grenades, flamethrowers, time-bombs, mounted machine guns, and more.
- Grittier gameplay featuring immersive interactive environments
- Updated and streamlined targeting system will allow the player full control over his environment—and what to shoot.

Fri 20 May 2011
The Japanese earthquake, Christchurch earthquake, floods in Australia and severe weather in southern and south-eastern US have devastated communities in the first few months of 2011. The impact on business has also been widespread, with disruption to many industries intrinsic to the global supply of goods. Such disruption can ripple through supply chains and across Continents in today's globalised world. With organisations adopting "just-in-time" techniques and pressures to limit working capital there is a growing dependency on the perfect functioning of supply chains. Insurers are responding to these increasingly small margins for error by developing products which transfer some of the risk of supply chain disruption. Catastrophes and unrest Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, twisters and even political upheaval have put many business continuity plans to the test so far in 2011. But even those with superior risk management processes can be caught out. Companies often place too much confidence in the continuity of external infrastructure, warn Australasian risk management experts Grant Purdy and Roger Estall. Some homes and businesses in Christchurch were without electricity, water and sewage for up to a month following the February earthquake, they point out. In addition, many parts of the central business district were cordoned off and this meant business owners were unable to enter offices, shops or access stock for weeks after the event. Purdy, an associate director of Broadleaf Capital International, and Estall, director of Risk Solutions Consultancy, think the increasing risk arising from disruption as a result of greater criticality of supply chains, has not always been fully appreciated. "Diversity of supply has been exchanged for price advantage of single source supply. Stockpiles and contingent stores have been reduced or designed out." In Queensland, flooding damaged infrastructure in and around the Bowen Basin, home to Australia's largest coal reserve and a big exporter of fuel for the steel industry. While many mines were able to get back up and running in a short space of time, damaged railway lines and roads meant they were unable to transport their product to the ports. This led to an increase in the global price of coal and steel, while the price of other global commodities, such as wheat and sugar, also rose. Unrest in the Middle East has also highlighted vulnerabilities, with rising energy prices affecting every stage of the supply chain from the acquisition of raw materials, through to manufacturing and final distribution. Stock markets around the world fell following the Japan earthquake in March amid fears the catastrophe would severely disrupt global manufacturers' supply chains, in particular those in the car and electronics industries. Chinks in the chain Supply chain vulnerability was one of the topics discussed in last year's Lloyd's 360 Risk report on Globalisation and Risks for Business: Implications in an Increasingly Connected World. "Globalisation has allowed businesses to expand across many countries and provided more choice of suppliers," said the report, produced by Lloyd's and The James Martin 21st Century School, University of Oxford. "However, as supply chains become more complex, additional layers of risk are added." Businesses may have less direct control over these tight and complex chains, noted the report, while small disruptions in one location can quickly cascade to production failure in another part of the chain. It highlighted the potential for "cascade failure" in long and lean supply chains where a system-wide shutdown is caused by the failure of one or more critical elements. "Their causes are manifold and include operational and technological risks, social risks, natural hazards, economic variations and legal and political disruptions." Insuring the risk Insurers have an important role to play in helping to mitigate supply chain risk, in addition to the preventative role of risk engineering, effective contingency planning and other risk management responses. "Following the Japanese earthquake and problems in Libya and the Middle East you're seeing a lot of coverage on supply chain disruption," says Paul Culham, active underwriter at Kiln Syndicate 510. "That is a product which we very much specialist in." Should a clothing company be unable to export their goods for sale overseas as a result of a natural or human catastrophe for instance, they might be forced to sell their product to secondary sources at reduced pricing. This is where a supply chain policy, usually termed "trade disruption cover", would kick in. "In this scenario the actual goods themselves are not damaged," explains Culham. "Most business interruption insurance that you can conventionally get from the insurance market is triggered by physical damage to goods or named premises. What this policy is doing is it triggers when the goods are undamaged but you still physically can't move the goods."

Bengal varsity lock-in continues, officials hint at talks
The lock-in of Jadavpur University's vice chancellor and other officials continued Friday, but the varsity's administration refused to yield to the demands of the students protesting the suspension of two of them for ragging while hinting at talks.
The students from the engineering and humanities departments started the agitation Wednesday afternoon, laying siege to the Aurobindo Bhavan, the administrative block. Around 400 students have been sloganeering from time to time and holding aloft posters demanding suspension of the two be revoked immediately. A section of students has been camping outside the office all night.
"We are adhering to our decision of suspension. We are going with the decision of the anti-ragging committee...our stand is the same as it was before the gherao," said Pro Vice Chancellor Sidhartha Datta.
"The students have been shouting slogans and boycotted classes. They are demanding that the two accused (for ragging) be let off. But the anti-ragging committee probing the matter has found them guilty...so we can't do anything now," said Registrar Pradip Kumar Ghosh.
The two students were suspended Sep 11 after a second year engineering student filed a complaint to the University Grants Commission (UGC) that he was beaten up last month.
The UGC forwarded the complaint to the university authorities, who constituted a probe panel which found the two students guilty of ragging.
A final year student of construction engineering was suspended for two semesters, and a fourth year student of the printing technology department was handed a one-semester suspension.
During the suspension period, the two students would not be allowed to stay in the hostel where the incident occurred, said Ghosh.
"We had issued a show cause notice...the suspension will come into effect very soon. We will negotiate and discuss with the angry students," said Ghosh.
The students, however, claim the ragging was "an internal disciplinary ritual".
West Bengal Higher Education Minister Bratya Basu expressed disapproval of the students' agitation and said "it is not the way to go about it".
"There were discussions of student groups sans politics..there were talks of keeping politics and education separate," he said.
"What has been happening at the university is a clear example of what happens when you keep both separate. I hope the issue can be resolved with discussions between the students and officials," said Basu.
Echoing Basu, Datta hinted at possible negotiations with the students to resolve the current impasse.
"From previous experiences we have seen that such issues calm down after discussions...I think this time also we can arrive at a solution," he said.

A bunch of random facts you probably didn't know about Obamacare.
Mitt Romney:
"What the court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected President of the United States. And that is I will act to repeal Obamacare."
What's that? Romneycare?

An Historic Day for Americans & our Health & our Pocketbooks.
"I have had some bitter disappointments as president, but the one that has troubled me most, in a personal way, has been the failure to defeat the organized opposition to a national compulsory health insurance program." ~ President Harry S. Truman
The below pull-outs come from the NY Times, after the historic ruling today. Excerpts:
> Future health reforms will take 60 votes in the Senate and 5 on the bench.
> More than 15 million Americans are still uninsured
> A polite fiction long justified the idea of nine unelected justices overruling Congress and the states: They merely interpret the law. That fiction had been slipping badly ever since Bush v. Gore in 2000. A recent New York Times survey found that three-quarters of the public believed that politics was a frequent factor in court decisions.
> Very quietly, the Affordable Care Act introduced a revolutionary change: All poor people in America would get Medicaid.
> If they don't come up with something stirring, the reform that survived the court could be lost in the election.
> Changes: new incentives for hospitals to deliver more efficient care, new incentives to nudge physicians into primary care, and powerful new rules to stop insurance companies from cherry-picking the people they cover.
> Barack Obama borrowed from Republicans like Senator John Chafee of Rhode Island the idea of mandating individual coverage to broaden the private insurance pool.

This is truly of benefit to Americans, just as PM Harper is doing everything in his power to undermine the benefits of what it is to be Canadian! Bravo Obama!
Also of benefit to those in Colorado, Obama has released more federal funds to help the two most deadly and destructive wildfires–the High Park fire in N. Colorado, and Waldo Canyon fire near Colorado Springs. He is really using his presidency to represent the needs of all Americans.
See today's Newsweek poll
Only 24% of Americans think Obamacare will improve their lives.
A slight majority 50-45 disapprove of the US Supreme Court's decision. Not surprising — In poll after poll before the decision, a strong majority wanted the mandate overturned.
Administration really has its work cut out for it
Justice Roberts – a sly, sly, sly conservative fox
I think the real issue for people who are into alternative healthy lifestyles and mind-body treatments is not to get into a highly partisan battle over a very shitty bill.
The real issue in America is that people don't care of themselves – they eat shit, don't exercise, do yoga or meditate, get stressed, get absurdly obese and go bat-shit crazy.
And then when they get sick and contract diseases that could be prevented, they demand health care "entitlements" to "fix" their condition, to prolong their lives with expensive cures, and to stay on life support until time immemorial.
It's really up to spiritual-minded people to transcend the GOP-Democrat divide — and to bear a more profound and powerful "witness" to the pathology of our high-intensity, disease ridden lifestyles.
People act as though there were never obesity in all of history or something. And as though every single American is obese and eats crappy and so on. Yet it is never proven.
I doubt there is even 1% of Americans obese. For the most part they are a very small minority.
As for this ObamaFarcecare. It is neither universal healthcare or insurance. It will also impose financial hardship on middle class Americans who will be forced to buy a product they can't afford to use. And will mandate that millions of people who are currently uninsured must purchase insurance from private companies, or the IRS will collect up to 2% of their annual income in penalties.
So how are some gonna pay for it? With Foodstamps?
This isn't healthcare it is is just another way to tax people and have more government control.
oh,it's not a tax… oh the supreme court says it is… or is it.. who knows,I am sooo confused!!! I do know ins premiums will skyrocket this bill did NOTHING to address the cost of healthcare. it's a sad day because now,they can tax you for anything someone thinks you should/shouldn't be doing so says the hiarchy of politics.
In this famous passage from Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged, the doctor explains why he refuses to practice medicine in a world in which his life and work are owned by the government:
"I quit when medicine was placed under State control some years ago," said Dr. Hendricks. "Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I could not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everything – except the desires of the doctors. Men considered only the 'welfare' of the patients, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter, was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said, but 'to serve.' That a man's willing to work under compulsion is too dangerous a brute to entrust with a job in the stockyards – never occurred to those who proposed to help the sick by making life impossible for the healthy. I have often wondered at the smugness at which people assert their right to enslave me, to control my work, to force my will, to violate my conscience, to stifle my mind – yet what is it they expect to depend on, when they lie on an operating table under my hands? Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in the operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents it – and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn't."
I don't trust any huge segment of our economy that is government run and enforced by the IRS.
The Supreme Court let this pass because it ruled this law is in reality
just a huge tax increase called by a different name. 75% of the tax increase is estimated to be funded by taking more money from average Americans; and during a recession no less. Health care reform is a complicated issue for sure. Government takeover is not a solution however I would opt for. This makes me wonder; "what is the next big lie I'm supposed to believe from this government?
So how long until I can print in steel and make new parts for my M1?

[…] How'd that work out in 2000? Gore went on to create an Inconvenient Truth, and Bush created two wars, turned an historic surplus … […]

OBAMACARE enhances outsourcing. Enacted in July 2010, The U.S. healthcare reform ("ObamaCare" or the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act") is intended to pressure large and small employers through force and taxation. The result will show companies deciding to send customer support, sales, lead generation and appointment setting jobs offshore or risk going out of business. U.S companies can take advantage of a dedicated bilingual employee who is 100% committed to their project. ESL nearshore employees in Costa Rica are just as or more effective than transitional in-house employees. In addition, giving the business the freedom to scale up their offshore staff without getting caught in the Obamacare challenge in 2014.

I'm hiking the rogue river trail with my girlfriend this weekend and was planning to shuttle my car. The shuttle company says that the shorter route is closed and that it's going to cost 150 to shuttle. I was wondering if it would pretty easy to park my car at foster bar and hitchhike to the grave Creek trailhead. I'd like to try to hitch around 7 am so we could have an early start on the trail. We would be doing this on Saturday morning. Is there a decent amount of traffic going at this time of day to where we would be able to hitchhike?
Hello Loki,I assume you are talking about hitching from Fosters Bar to Graves Creek on the Eden Valley Route 3348. This is only 40 miles but will take 2 hours. I have used the shuttle and it is not a bad deal. There is a fair amount of rafter traffic on weekends but hitch hiking might be hit or miss to Graves Creek. I have rafted and hiked this section and it is worth the effort. Allow yourself time to explore the historical sites and bring extra $ for stops at the lodges. A fair amount of poison oak in sections but the trail is well maintained. The lower section has problems with bears but just avoid the boater sites. If you have questions feel free to PM.Safe TrailsHoot

Even if the cold doesn't bother you, the trouble with winter is that nightfall arrives sooner than most of us would like it to. There is however, one good reason to venture out into the frigid winter air during the darkest months of the year: the Northern Lights. Also known as aurora borealis or the "northern dawn," this electrical phenomena is approaching a peak period that will last until about 2016. In other words, if you haven't seen this shimmering display before, the odds of catching a glimpse in the next few years are higher than usual. Clear skies on or around the spring equinox (March 20 in 2013) will up your chances even further. And for travelers planning a trip to see the aurora, the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks helpfully posts a forecast online. Read more
I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights, but staring up for hours at the Arctic sky just didn't sound like fun–until now. I recently read in The New York Times that Jussi Eiramo, owner of the Hotel Kakslauttanen, in Lapland, Finland, came up with the perfect solution for catching the Aurora Borealis. No more standing around with a stiff neck and freezing–you can view the Lights from the comforts of your private, glass-domed igloo–all while laying down. Read more

HUTCHINSON, Minn. -- The McLeod County Sheriff's Department says it found the body of a man who fell into the Crow River Tuesday.
Investigators say they found the body of 37-year-old Jeffrey Degn Sunday after someone called about seeing a red jacket floating in the river near Tartan Park in Hutchinson.
Officers got to the scene and recovered the body, which was identified as Degn by his driver's license.
On Friday, the Civil Air Patrol flew over the Crow River to search for Degn, Crews also searched the river twice a day by boat.
A witness told the McLeod County Sheriff's Department that Degn slipped from some rocks near the dam on Main Street in Hutchinson about 7 p.m. Tuesday and was carried away in the fast-moving river.
A ground and air search was called off Tuesday night because of darkness and the swift current.
McLeod County Sheriff Scott Rehmann said searchers used cadaver dogs Wednesday along the river.

Vision TriMax T42 wheels £699.95
High-quality aero clinchers that are versatile enough for everyday use or racing; decent price too
Weight 1770g Contact www.windwave.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
The Vision Trimax T42 is a versatile alloy/carbon wheelset that's suitable for everyday use as well as racing.
Okay, first the essential info... when Vision describe these as 'carbon alloy clinchers' they mean that they're alloy with a carbon surface on the deep section of the welded rim. They call this Carbon Structural Integration, or CSI for short, and explain it like this:
'Once an aluminum component is wrapped in carbon fibre, the fibre becomes an integral part of the structure and increases the overall stiffness of the component.'
So the whole of the rim, including the braking surface, is alloy but the V-section is covered with carbon fibre for reinforcement. Of course, the unidirectional carbon finish doesn't hurt in terms of giving a high-end look.
As the name suggests, the rim is 42mm deep and it's 21.2mm wide. Vision's own CNC-machined hubs are black anodized and they contain sealed cartridge bearings (two in the front wheel, four in the rear). The alloy cassette body comes in both Shimano/SRAM and Campag versions.
Everything is laced up by hand using straight-pull Sapim aero spokes – 18 at the front (radial) and 21 at the rear (seven radial on the non-driveside and 14 two-cross on the driveside).
The weight is okay rather than something to get excited about. Ours hit the scales at 804g (f) and 966g (r). That's a total of 1,770g (including rim tape) plus a combined weight of 110g for the quick releases. That's not mega-light but it's certainly comparable to similarly priced rivals.
In use these feel really tight; they're extremely well built. I've been using them for [checks calendar] four months now and I've not had to tighten a single spoke, which says a lot for Vision's construction methods and quality control.
The rims don't slice through the air as well as something a little deeper but they're still impressive and the advantage is that you can use these in most conditions. You don't struggle to maintain control in a strong crosswind like you can with a rim depth of say, 50mm+. Okay, if it's blowing a gale you might have a bit of a fight on your hands but if you want to buy just one set of aero wheels (rather than having the luxury of two or three pairs and swapping them around according to the conditions), these are worth considering.
They climb fine too. They're not electrifying on the slopes but they're not a bad weight for their depth and price. Plus, the alloy braking surface is far more predictable than any carbon model out there.
If you want some versatile aero wheels that are going to put in a solid performance, give these some serious thought.

road.cc test report
Make and model: Vision TriMax T42 wheels
Size tested: Shimano
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Vision say, "The new Vision TriMax T42 CSI clincher wheelset is built for racing and all day riding. The T42 rim is 42mm tall, and 21mm wide, to cut through the wind and still remain light enough to tackle the steepest climbs. Using our Vision proprietary hubs and aero bladed spokes, the T42 tip the scales at 1720 grams per pair and is tough enough for any level of road racing."
Ours weighed a little more - but that's nearly always the way.
You can get considerably lighter if you go for full-carbon rims of a similar depth and pay a lot more, but these are a decent weight compared to other options of a similar price.
A good price when compared to similar wheels from brands like SRAM and Fulcrum.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
They put in a solid all-round performance. They're designed to be versatile and that means that there are going to be compromises, but if you want some fit-and-forget aero wheels, these are worthy of serious consideration.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
The balance: good aerodynamics, reasonable weight, predictable braking and handling.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Any weight saving would be welcome but, as I said, these are a reasonable weight for the rim depth and price.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Yes.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.

Mmmmm, hands.
You know how much I love words and the physical act of writing, how much I love the graphemic grace of the thing that is written? Yeah, you do. And you know how much I like holding a pencil in my hand and making marks on a paper with it — marks with meaning, I mean — and also how much I like reading a paper full of writing from someone else's hand? Well, I like all that very much, you know I do, but I like something else too:
I don't know about your little piece of the planet but here where I am there's been a lot of greyworld and I'm not really an appreciator of greyworld, unless it's mitigated by storm. Which it hasn't been, here and now. So what can be done? One can give in to the grey and be taken down by it — opt for bed or heavy drink for weeks on end, except those are roads to ruin and I prefer to remain unruined for just a little longer in life.

"Doctor"→ someone who cares for you when you are sick.
Lots of others have the title of "doctor". They have PhDs, AudDs, PsyDs and other "Ds", doctorates which indicate they have obtained the highest of the advanced degrees. Literally, the ultimate pursuit of wisdom through acquisition of in-depth knowledge.
Medical doctors (MDs) sometimes also obtain PhDs, usually in biology, chemistry, physics, and biomedical engineering, to name a few. Those who do might be planning a career in research; others might want to have a deeper knowledge of one of the medical sciences. They want to know, they want to learn.
Dana's PhD is in medical anthropology. Never heard of it? Neither had I until Dana found one of her several passions. It all started in college, at Barnard, when she took an anthropology course. She loved it. And she also loved biology. And she wanted to become a medical doctor. And she found a way to do it all.
She is becoming a medical anthropologist. She will study and advance the knowledge of the many ways in which "culture and society are organized around or impacted by issues of health, health care, and related issues."
Sounds complicated? It is. It requires the reconciliation of the science of medicine with the culture and society in which people experience their medical problems. This intersection takes a very special personality—one who can think in the scientific world at once with the social/cultural world. Go Dana!
So now, after her first 2 years of medical school, heavily immersed in science, she has started her 4-5 year "graduate" program in anthropology. It is joint program that is jointly degreed between UCSF and UC Berkley. Switching gears from the enormous amount of memorization of facts of disease, she now reads and digests theories in the thousands of pages of the highly analytic subject matter needed to gain the "wisdom" that will eventually bring her the degree of PhD.
At first a fish out of water, she is now happily ensconced in the rhythms and thought processes of graduate school. She left the second year of medical school, after exciting times in surgery, otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) and dermatology with some regret. But now she has re-discovered her love for the study of anthropology. And now she has some idea on how it will fit into the medical world she tasted, albeit briefly.
How long does it take to get a PhD? That depends on the subject and the school. But for Dana, at UCSF/Berkley, 2 years of course work, one year of field work and then 1-2 years writing her thesis.
Self-direction in graduate school has been replaced by the highly directed "what do I need to learn" of medical school. She has already started thinking about and planning the project for her dissertation—that piece of work that is specifically and uniquely hers. She will bring new knowledge and ideas to medical anthropology.
In "the field" she immerses herself in a culture and observes, reports, analyzes and gains knowledge. The "field" can be found in her own backyard or a far-away place half-way around the world. Health and healthcare knows no geographic boundaries.
Dana will then re-enter medical school and finish her clinical courses. Then off to 3 to 7 more years of residency training. It takes a long, long time.
So becoming an MD, PhD is not easy. When finished, Dana will become unique in the medical field. She will be able to lead in helping medical doctors, policy makers and healthcare advisors bring together the science and culture to deliver to us and the entire world, the best health and medical care.

AROM-X RDe Chrome
Arom-X RDe is a natural testosterone boosting and estrogen inhibiting PCT matrix that can be used as an off-cycle hormonal restoration therapy or can be taken alongside the hormonal stack or as a standalone everyday free testosterone booster. The three natural ingredients: ellagic acid (standardized 90%), resveratrol (standardized 95%) and 7,8 benzoflavone are the most efficient compounds available to both legitimately inhibit aromatase (conversion from testosterone to estrogen) and to block estrogen, which works at the receptor level to increase LH (luteinizing hormone) production. LH stimulates testosterone production. These three powerful ingredients are now combined with a cyclodextrin delivery agent, patented F-Melt disintegrant and a new effervescent (e) absorption matrix that all makes up the strongest, safest, non-liver toxic rapid dissolving lean and dry mass hardening supplement on the market.*
(R)apid (D)issolve (e)ffervescent or RDe is the new and improved delivery matrix that ensures the maximum quantity of active PCT compounds reach their essential anabolic location within the body.

I use this in #41, Medium Brown. I am a natural brunette with some grey to cover and my hair is very fine and thin. I was using Natural Instincts, but got tired of how quickly it was washing out...I liked that it was semiperm and less damaging, but sick of coloring so often, plus I'm cheap and so is Colorsilk, so I wanted to give it a try. I LOVE IT. #41 is a gorgeous shade of brown, not too dark, not too red...it's perfect. It gets rid of all my greys and doesn't wreck my hair or make it dry.

Just dyed my hair a few days ago with "Medium Golden Brown" and have no complaints! I've used colorsilk before because, let's face it, what woman who colors her hair at home hasn't, but was only doing the salon coloring thing for a while. Well, not that I'm in grad school and can't afford such luxuries I took a risk and went back to Colorsilk...I'm not sure if I used this particular color in the past but on my naturally medium to ashy brown roots and lighter, highlighted hair medium golden brown came out just that, a nice, warm, medium brown that still shows the highlights from before and has left my hair pretty shiny and soft. I applied it from the roots to about 2/3 of the way down because I wanted the ends to stay blond (the ombre kind of thing) and about 5 minutes before I washed it out I worked the color all the way through to the end. Would definitely repurchase.
UPDATE: Just after I wrote this, I realized I haven't checked lately if Revlon tests or does not test on animals...for years they were cruelty free, but I guess now they are selling products in China where animal testing for cosmetics/beauty products is required (horrible) and their cruelty free status is no longer. HUGE BUMMER. Another company I no longer can feel okay purchasing from. Send Revlon an email and let them know you want them to be cruelty free if you care about animal welfare like I do. Thanks.

I really like this hair color product. It has no Ammonia, and amazingly my fried, overprocessed felt so much after I colored it with this! I was surprised and delighted with the color and the condition of my hair afterwards. I used the Dark Ash Blonde, and it's a very pretty color. This hair color is actually superior to some of the dyes I've purchased at Sally's in the past. Not only is it a great product, it is very affordable at only $3-4 box. The conditioner that comes with it is wonderful. I just wish they would give you a bigger packet of it.

WORST EVER. No actually I've had worse hair dye but I've tried three different colors of this brand and it just fades in like 3 weeks. That's not what permanent dye is suppose to do! this product is a Thumbs down if u want permanent hair color but a thumbs up if your just experimenting!

I would not purchase this product again. I have colored my hair many times over the years, but I recently went on a hair color hiatus and let my natural hair grow back. This was not the product on which to make my return to the hair color world. It may be the worst I have ever used for the condition in which it left my hair. I went from shiny and healthy to ratty, frizzy, and even shorter? (I'm guessing there was some breakage. It actually feels like it contracted. Haha, maybe it recoiled in fear!) The color (Dark Auburn) is nice and was true to its representation on the box, but the bogus claim on the box that it will leave your hair healthier is disturbing. When I saw this hair color on the shelf, I thought "Oh, ammonia-free. That must mean it's healthier." And then the little voice in the back of my head said "Wait, but it's permanent. If it's not ammonia-based, what is it? And why is it so cheap?" I should have gone with the little voice and gotten the ammonia-based product of the same hue, but I thought I was just being silly by thinking the more expensive product MUST be better. I was not. This product jacked up my hair. I'm doing some deep conditioning now to see if I can at least partially remedy what happened here. :(

This is probably my all time favorite hair color. I usually use the dark browns and soft blacks and they come out natural looking (no shoe polish head here) and last at least a month. The only shades I have had problems with fading are the reds, but that's fairly normal for my hair (stick straight and very smooth). I don't care for the smell of the conditioner, and would prefer a tube to the pouch, but hey, for $3-4 I'll take it.

I used this years ago and it burned my scalp so bad I had to wash it off after only a few minutes. More recently I had friends say they tried it and loved it. I figured I would give it a shot.
I was light golden blonde trying to go light brown. No burning this time, went in easily...the one thing I noticed is that it did NOT have that horrible chemical smell that makes me ill. I have tried ALL brands and they ALL smell and have some fragrances that try to cover it up and the smell lingers in my hair after about 2 or 3 washes and the smell makes me SICK. ColorSilk did NOT have ANY residual smell. AT ALL. So, that was nice. But that was about the only advantage, besides the price. Which is nice.
So...I washed it out after about 20 minutes, and it was fairly similar to the shade on the box (unless you are using virgin non-dyed hair and are going by their guidelines there are ALWAYS room for variables) but it wasn't very...brilliant. I noticed the fading after only a few washes. So after a couple of weeks it had faded so much (I figured well, maybe it was because I was going a few shades darker, it just didn't take so well) I better try again. Thankfully my hair is resilient and I have done this MANY times before. I picked up a darker, medium golden brown shade this time. It looked GORGEOUS when I was finished, but it didn't last long. It faded so fast, two weeks later I have to color it again. And now, I have noticed breakage in areas that weren't there before. I realize coloring hair in a short amount of time can cause excessive dryness but honestly with Garnier especially I NEVER noticed it. This time I washed it out of my hair, I had a couple strands in my hands that had fallen out. Normal, for most but not for me.
Moral? For the price it's worth a try but...you really do get what you pay for. And it IS drying. So be careful. Ladies with coarse hair...beware. I'm not sure I would try this. My hair is straight and fine and totally slippery...not a wave at all. I'm going back to Garnier after this. If I bought ColorSilk again to reapply to the fading I would end up spending more than if I had just bought my normal Garnier/Nice N Easy or whatever in the first place, and it lasts longer so I'm saving myself time.

For reference I'm filipino with long black hair. Been coloring it for years from light to dark and dark to light at both the salon and at home. Sticking closer to my roots now.
I've been going a tad lighter lately w/ the Colorsilk shades and now using Medium Brown number 41. See my other Colorsilk review. The other shades lower than this, after trying, didn't make much of a difference and my hair was still dark. However this color made a significant difference which I'm so happy with!
I used it all over with two boxes for my long hair a few months ago. Now I only use one box on my roots about every 8 weeks because of some pesky greys. It a nice, soft dark brown shade. On the website it's labeled N for neutral and has no red or gold tones to it. Also, preferred this because I was afraid that if I went any lighter, my hair would result in a red/orange tone which when black hair is dyed can usually occur. Also do not want the dreaded 'lighter roots' look, than the rest of my hair. I'm a bit anal when it comes to my hair. I felt this new shade may have been a little dark and still had that black color. However, when compared with my son's hair (natural, virgin black) and can see that it's not black at all but a soft dark brown!! Yaye!! Please don't mistaken this for a chocolate brown hair you see in the magazines though. It's not like that for asian hair, in my opinion. I've never achieved that with any box dye. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to apply the color. I then wait about 30-35 minutes for the product to settle. Once it dries a little on my hair, I take the remains from the bottle and spot check for any greys that I might of missed. Also, do not rinse with shampoo. I did that once and the color was removed. Just rinse well with water and apply the conditioner. I wouldn't go too light with box colors. I would leave that to the experts. I've went a little lighter and tried Colorsilk 51 Ash Brown which is lighter. I can tell a slight difference in natural light setting.

I mixed equal parts Revlon Color silk # 31 Dark Auburn & # 49 Auburn Brown...
And I love it!! Its the best auburn for my medium (leaning towards medium-light) complexion and green eyes...it's brown enough that it looks like a natural color but also red enough to stand out...
I'm not a fan of red reds or purple reds....I prefer medium auburn leaning towards copper as opposed to burgundy...which is what the end result with these two colors.

I purchased 2 of these from CVS $6, I need 2 boxes because my hair is long. I bought the shade dark brown, and warm black i think it's called, and mixed them. i absolutely love the color, and got tons of compliments on my hair today. i love that this product has no ammonia, and it makes your hair super shiny. yes, it is hair dye and will dry your hair out, but after dying my hair i like to do overnight hair treatments every week or so. some nights i'll apply olive oil to dry hair, cover it with a shower cap, blast it with some hot air, and rinse it well in the morning. other days i use a deep conditioning protein masque (motion CPR critical protection and repair treatment conditioner), and rinse that off in the morning as well. i find that within a few weeks my hair loses that straw like feeling you get after dying it, and feels normal again.

A dancer-athlete vaults clear over the heads of the dance line, halfway out of the camera frame and braces to land on the floorboards of the Price Civic Auditorium stage Friday night. The Workout Elite Company was one of many to perform at the Castleview Hospital's 11th Annual Variety Show, "A Touch of Hawaii." Proceeds from the ticket sales went to the benefit of Perkie Travel.
A pilot program designed to help low-income families work their way into their own homes is under way in Carbon and Emery counties.
It goes by the tongue-twisting name of Self-Help Acquisition and Rehabilitation Housing Program but its acronym, SHARHP, is easier to handle. And as long as we're in acronym city, we might as well say that it is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Agency (USDA) and the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments (ALG).
Marilyn Vogrinec and Barbara Fausett of the ALG explained that it is a basically a program that uses the "sweat equity" of prospective homeowners to cover the down payment and rehabilitation of substandard properties. Vogrinec, who is program manager, said it should cut through the logjams that create no-win situations for families, property owners and communities alike.
Low-income people generally can't afford the down payments for mortgages on nice homes, and lenders are leery about carrying mortgages on run-down or substandard housing. The result is that people who want homes go without, while houses needing rehabilitation remain vacant and neighborhoods become blighted.
Vogrinec said that through SHARHP, USDA will make mortgages available to qualified low-income applicants and also provide up-front money for property rehabilitation. The ALG will hire a licensed contractor to serve as a trainer and project manager for the families.
This is no gift. The burden is on the borrower to find the property, qualify for the program and do all the work except for electrical and plumbing to bring the house up to code.
"Everyone comes out a winner," Vogrinec said. "Homeowners will learn the skills they need and they'll have equity in the homes. USDA adds value to its portfolio. Communities get rid of blight."
The seller also gets the money up front. "It ends the stalemate between seller and lender," Fausett said.
There is already one prospective homeowner involved in the program, a single mother who is working part time. She'll be working not only at her income-producing job, but also on projects around the house that have been identified by the construction supervisor as necessary to meet lending and occupancy standards.
That means tiling, stucco, roofing, floor covering, and building access to the basement. She'll also be allowed to use as much volunteer help from friends and family as needed.
"We have a tool trailer with things like ladders and power tools," Vogrinec said, "but people will have to buy their own hand tools." The construction supervisor will train the woman on techniques, especially safety precautions with the power tools.
After some 240 hours of work, the home should be ready for occupancy. No one can move in until the building is inspected and certified.
One big advantage of moving into an inspected home is that there should be no surprises for the occupants for many years. Getting the maintenance out of the way up front can prevent a lot of unexpected repair expenses later, which will give people a chance to stabilize their finances, Vogrinec and Fausett explained.
The qualifications for the program vary according to income and family size. Applications are available at the ALG offices, the old Reeves School building on the corner of 400 South and Carbon Avenue in Price.
The goal is to put 12 families in homes over the next two years. If the program proves successful here, it could be expanded to other areas, Vogrinec and Fausett said.

« Trouble With Stapled Peptides? A Strong Rebuttal. |
| A Short Guide to the JP Morgan Conference »
Posted by Derek
Drug metabolism is a perennial topic for us small-molecule people. Watching your lovingly optimized molecules go through the shredding-machine of the liver is an instructive experience, not least when you consider how hard it would be for you to do some of the chemistry that it does. (For reference and getting up to speed on the details, the comments section here has had reader recommendations for the Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Quick Guide).
Here's a review of a new sites-of-metabolism predictor, FAME, a decision-tree type program that's been trained on data from 20,000 known compounds. It handles both Phase I and Phase II metabolism (a "Pharma 101" entry on that topic is here, for those who'd like to know more), and it looks like it's well worth considering if you're in need for something like this.
Here's my question for the med-chem and PK types: have you made use of predictive metabolism software? Did it save you time, or did you either go down the wrong alleys or not see anything you wouldn't have predicted yourself? I'm interested in real-world experiences, since I haven't had too many myself in this area.

I've not used the metabolism prediction programs as much as some of my colleagues that focus specifically on MetID, but when I did use them they never seemed to provide anything useful. I remember evaluating a particular program a couple years back (I won't name the guilty party)...we were feeding it compounds from our library for which metabolites had already been characterized and it either came up with predictions that were blatantly obvious or crazy ones that we never actually saw in vivo. After that, I quit paying attention to metabolite prediction software.

Wonder if this will be much of an improvement on three chemists looking at an SAR matrix of structures and talking rapidly while waving their hands around...
3. Rock on January 14, 2014 11:23 PM writes...
I have never found them to be very useful. As you suggested, they usually predict the obvious primary and sometimes secondary metabolites. However, I do enjoy reading about the exhaustive met ID work on clinical candidates published frequently in DMD (especially when they include human clinical metabolite data). It is often amazing how some compounds can get chewed down to a stub, sometimes requiring 6 or 7 sequential steps. It usually requires radiolabeled drug to identify them all.
4. anon on January 15, 2014 2:22 AM writes...
If it is all so obvious why do people still make compounds with inappropriate PK?
5. Anonymous on January 15, 2014 3:12 AM writes...
@4: Because everything is obvious in hindsight.
6. Tim on January 15, 2014 8:06 AM writes...
@4, because some sites of metabolism are obvious and some are simply unpredictable.
7. annon fore on January 15, 2014 10:04 AM writes...
My former group had tried them and dismissed their value very quickly. I find them to be a one dimensional analysis & predictor while the real PK, metabolism, disposition, and elimination is based on a multidimensional world of biology, biochemistry, and physiology.
8. FAcehiker on January 15, 2014 12:25 PM writes...
The software Meteor,Metasite have been around for a while. They do a pretty good job of using a knowledge base to predict the possible metabolism sites. And there is no reason they won't get better if Samantha and her OS friends start paying attention. The algorithms help the MetID scientist channel his structure proof and help the MedChem scientist model attempts to stabilize a molecule. But they cannot predict metabolic stability, enzyme kinetics is too elastic. Stop one CYP with a fluorine and you turn another one on.
9. LiqC on January 16, 2014 1:26 AM writes...
At some point I will have to put a compound with N-alkylaniline into a mouse. Could someone give a hint of what alkyl group to choose to avoid extensive metabolism?
Would benzyl thioether also be a liability?
I should say I'm not making a drug out of it, this is for tracer purposes. But it would be important for the aniline to persist for at least a few hours.
10. tommy on January 17, 2014 5:01 PM writes...
For house-wife predictions these programs are good enough at an early stage. But do not expect miracles to predict relative ratios of different metabolite a, b, c in species x or y. We are still dealing with rather unspecific enzymes.

text: Hi, I've got the installer we provide for 2.7.6, on Windows. And I've been getting lots of non-crashing premature exits: SystemError: unknown opcode XXX lineno: 314, opcode: 0 It's not consistently reproducible using running the same code, but can be sometimes, and I'm not using any Stackless features. If I take the mainline python repo and sync to v2.7.6 and generate a dll, and put it in c:\python27, all the problems go away. I thought it might be pyside 1.1.2 which I was using, but upgraded that and the problem remained with pyside 1.2.1. That's the only external dependency my code uses. Anyone else using this installer? Cheers, Richard.
