My 14 month old Maisie loves her toys. Surprisingly she loves the simple ones that dont require batteries or lights to keep her entertained. Right now her favorites are the ones where she can put things inside, take them out and enjoy the miracle of cause and effect
That was why I was excited to have the opportunity to review Haba's Ophelie and her chicks. Ophalie and her chicks is an adorable plush momma hen with 4 adorable chicks. Also included is a colorful plush ball with several openings. Ophelie has a pocket in her front apron just perfect for putting in and removing her baby chicks. She also has a hollow underside to hide her little ones.
The chicks themselves each have a fun sensory activity in an addition to an embroidered number on their chest. One chick makes crinkle sound. Another squeaks. They all make their
own unique sounds. To make the fun even better, each chick is a finger puppet, making this toy perfect for child and parent to play together. Included is the plush ball that allows your child to put the chicks in and pull them of out. My daughter literally spent 30 minutes playing with Ophelie and her chicks. She had so much fun pulling chicks in and out of the ball, hiding them under Ophelie and giggling as I made them as finger puppets to 'talk' to her.
Ophelie and her chicks has quickly become one of Maisies favorite toys. And because it is soft plush I dont mind her playing with them in her crib before bedtime.
I would highly recommend ophelie and her chicks to anyone looking for a fun, simple toy that allows their child to explore and use their imagination as well as teaching them about colors, textures, and sounds.
Be sure to connect with Haba, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. They share lots of great content and information.

Artist Marylou Evans, now through Sept. 28, Wednesday-Friday, 12:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Charleston Heights Arts Center, 800 S.
The artwork in this exhibit explores the concept of layered experiences discovered through the physical layering of paint, paper and mylar. Sometimes transparent and sometimes opaque, they can be scraped and sanded through, simultaneously revealing and concealing information. At times clear and at other times obscure, the imagery moves in and out of view – just as life's experiences move in and out of awareness.

When we pulled in and went into the office, we were surprised, it is small and overwhelmed with 'stuff.' But the woman behind the desk seemed to have it under control. She was friendly and courteous and a gentleman stepped into the office to help her. Our site was huge, more room than previous campgrounds we've stayed at. Cable TV had more than enough channels and our Wi-Fi hookup, although 'low,' was adequate to get online and do whatever you had to do. We were next to the highway which didn't bother us and the occasional train went by. I was disappointed that I couldn't actually see any as they passed by. The trains weren't that bothersome, either. In all, we enjoyed our stay - Ausable Chasm which is about four miles south is an awesome place to visit. - Patches

Owners were very friendly, but was disappointed when a cigarette was lit while we were signing in. Sites were large, dirt and grass with concrete patio slabs. Our site was was not even close to level and trash was strewn around behind our campsite. Campground is rundown and needs some work, especially the roads. Restrooms, showers and laundry were extremely rundown and dirty. Cable TV and internet were good. We camped here three nights. - golplt

Sites are reasonable size and services generally functioned as advertised. Office is old, cramped, unclean, and filled with cigarette smoke. The park is noisier than we like. Pool filled on the weekends with children, highway noise behind our site, frequent trains day and night, and weekend karaoke music until 11 pm loud enough to hear inside every rig across the entire park. Laundry facilities consist of one working washer and a dryer that did not dry anything. Laundry building and restroom/bathhouse are old and deteriorated, open to all the elements and bugs, chicken-wire doors, if any, open wood slat floors, leaking water, dirty/moldy showers, no light or A/C in laundry building except for open door. Site electric posts have no fuse, an obvious safety concern when plugging in since we couldn't turn it off first. Will not stay here again. - revs2010

This is one great place if you are into nature as the park is on Lake Champlain and the Ausable River. Our site (#19) backed up to the lake with a view of Burlington, VT. The lake front has two beach areas and plenty of fishing, lake and river. The bad part for some of the campers was the Sat. night storm took down some trees and all the power lines, so campground was unattended with no water or toilets and showers. This was not a problem for us as we are self contained. The good thing was when rangers showed Monday morning and didn't charge us and refunded everyone in the park who had paid. Great state conservation area. Sites are very large and some will hold up to 40' RVS. - Mikeeg

We selected this site on the internet using the Reserve America web site. The web site indicated that the site we chose would take a 35ft motorhome. We were very disappointed with the site. Just enough room for the motorhome and not much room for anything else. And we were next to a swamp and almost living on top of our neighbors - who had two tents and lots of visitors. We booked for three nights but stayed only one. We tried to get another site but the campground was full and the campground staff were not very interested. We will not be staying in this campground again. We stayed in site 100. - sandgropers

Nice very quiet private campground. Sites are on the larger size for a private campground. No screening between sites. Staff was helpful and friendly. Laundry facilities are modern and clean. Looks like about half the sites are occupied by seasonal campers, but they are all very nice and a quiet group. Utilities are good and very good wifi worked at our site. We would definitely stay here again. - User3589

This was a decent place to stay for the month we were in the area. The monthly rate was reasonable. While we didn't find the people of New York to be particularly friendly, the gentleman that manages this park is an exception once you've been there a while. Most of the sites are occupied by seasonal/annual campers so as is often the case, weekends were busier and a bit louder. Lots of shade on each site. We were happy for a larger outdoor rug as the sites are quite sandy. We would stay here again if we were in the area. - The Shaws
Jul 2012 - $35.00
Place was OK but older and run down. Staff was OK. If first impressions mean a lot, this one didn't do too well. Front office and store old and cluttered, not real organized. Plenty of hats and T-Shirts but overpriced at $17.00. Not sure why I didn't really care for the place but one issue for me was the roads around the campground. They were full of pot holes. The roads needs an overhaul with lots of gravel. The patchwork and repairs haven't worked too well. We moved over to maybe the only site that has satellite access for TV (#39). Small swimming pool looked good. We have a nice view of the pond. Not sure we'd be back. - rwarner22

A city court on Monday granted bail to suspended Rajasthan Royals spinner Ajit Chandila and two others accused in the IPL spot fixing case, while pulling up the special cell of the Delhi police for the lacunae in their investigation into the scam.
The 33-page order quelled allegations that the stringent provisions of Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) had been improperly invoked in this case.
The court held that case fell under MCOCA since the evidence showed a nexus between five of the accused and the organized crime syndicate headed by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
The five accused bookies Ashwani Agarwal, Ramesh Vyas, Firoz Ansari, Sunil Bhatia and Jitender Jainwere denied bail on Monday. The bail of another bookie, Chandresh Jain was reserved on grounds that investigation against him was not yet complete.
However, additional sessions judge Sharma released Chandila, ex-Ranji player Baburao Yadav and punter Deepak Kumar on bail, citing that their connection to this organized crime syndicate was remote.
Unhappy with the over 6,000-page-chargesheet submitted by the police, Sharma remarked that there were vital links missing in their investigation. Special cell of Delhi police has a lot of explaining to do, the order mentioned stating that despite accused being in police custody, the investigation was not backed by any worthwhile evidence. Condemning the pick and choose policy of the special cell, the court directed the entire case to be re-examined by the Delhi police commissioner.
The court also took note of the lack of co-ordination between the Mumbai police and the special cell in the probe into the IPL scam. Of the five bookies in custody, two of them had been arrested by Mumbai police and hence the special cell of Delhi police was yet to get custody of the phone records and other evidence from them.
The order asked the investigation to be carried out with active co-operation from Mumbai police, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and other agencies.
The 21 of the 40 accused in the case are on bail. After submitting the chargesheet in the case on July 30, the prosecution has moved for the cancellation of bail of the 21 accused, which includes IPL players S Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan. The court shall hear the arguments on the cancellation of bail on October 7.
The order acknowledged the delay in disposing the bail application by stating that any further delay would entail hardship upon

We realize she's doing the patented "couture" pose, which is designed to make your waist look tiny, but Jesus Christ, is her waist really that small?
Wait a minute. Why is she doing a couture pose on the red carpet? Is she experiencing some form of hunger-induced fugue state and she doesn't know where she is? She's probably all, "Hunh. I wonder why they hired 30 photographers for one photo shoot? Oh well, time to pose! Remember the three P's! Pucker, Pout, and Purse! Where's the makeup girl? I feel shiny."

As for the dress... we don't love it. On her. Had it been worn by the septuagenarian it was clearly designed for, we probably would have given it a pass. Granted it's a bit too tight and short for the elderly, but she clearly had to have it taken in substantially from the sample size. The neckline, the unwieldy sleeves, and the bow in the back just say "Park Avenue dowager" to us even when paired with those killer shoes (Literally: ouch. We're experiencing sympathy charley horses just looking at her calves, both of which look like they're about to explode). OUT, but not for lack of trying. We probably would have been a lot kinder if she'd refrained from making those faces and poses.
That last sentence is probably the most accurate summation of her career we've ever read.

Four years ago, the Department of Ecology's cleanup fund was roughly $20 million, and now will be less than 9 million per year.
"We happen to received a significant cut in this area, and it's something people notice because the way litter - especially in the urban areas - accumulates so fast after pickup," Larry Altose with Washington's Department of Ecology says.
There used to be three crews of four people picking up trash along I5, between South King County and the Canadian border, but now that's been cut in half.
During July and August, the Ecology Youth Corps can be seen picking up trash at places that are not hazardous. Those jobs are gone for the year, and there's still plenty to be picked up.
Last year, state ecology crews cleaned 6,400 miles of roadway, picking up more than 1.1 million pounds of trash and recycling 143,000 pounds of it.
"It piles up very quickly in the urban areas, and that is what you are noticing," Altose says.
The budget cut also has a trickle down effect. The Department of Ecology doles out litter cleanup money to many county governments, the Department of Corrections, and the State Transportation Department.
All agencies will receive about half of what they had four years ago.

We did a ride today and I was the ride leader. Learned a lot.... things I should have done and not should have done.
So I wanted to ask.... what makes a good ride leader to you?

One who makes sure everyone is on the same page as far as goals, planning, etc, and who makes sure his followers are safe & enjoying the ride.
One who does not look down on anyone in the group.
What do you feel should not have been done or could have been done better? I personally think you did a great job, Everybody had fun, Everybody stayed safe, and noone got dropped.
Oh wait, that's right don't let my GPS figure the route!! lol
Things I would have done different:
-Have a solid plan of where to eat and add that to the que sheet
-Would have wanted to make sure everyone was together. I know it might not have seemed liek a big deal but when I think about it, it was a big deal to me.
- Would have a better idea of where to go after the ride (ice cream place)
What I did:
-brought gaterade for all just in case
-brought que sheets.
just some thoughts.
I also should have got some sort of emergency contact info just in case something happened.
I don't think you're givng yourself eough credit.
There's ride leaders that have been doing this for years that can't even figure that basic concept out. At the end of the day noone got dropped and noone had to find their own way back to the car. T
The only thing we could have possibly done different is had a stated ride speed that everyone was comfortable from the beginning and stuck to it, but even that doesn't work because once you hit the first hill, or the wind kicks up the groupd gets stretached, so regroups are necessary, and as I said you did that well.
Again I thnk we all had fun, everyone stayed safe and we ate pizza and ice cream. What more ould you ask?

Iron Chef, for a ride like this in a populated area, you don't need to note a food stop unless it's the focus of the ride. When I led the Clyde Ride on the Thun Trail in June 2010, I did plan on a specific food stop because I wanted everyone to experience Scoupe DeVille. If this were an extended ride in sparsely populated place (like PA's Pine Creek Gorge, or some of the areas in western PA and MD), then planning lunch stops is important. (For instance, you have nothing between Wellsboro Junction and Waterville on the Pine Creek Rail Trail except a couple general stores at Cedar Run and Slate Run.) Here, we were riding through towns. Food was all over the place.
I think you should stop beating yourself up for leading a wonderful ride.
We had a great ride
I will definitely make the trip again!
Common sense, courtesy, patience, communication and above all, an eye toward safety.
Craig in Indy
These guys look like they had a good time:
Except me, of course, since I always look like a Gloomy Gus in photos.
I don't think you need to plan food stops unless it's a very long ride. On my Saturday morning group rides we do a loop of about 35 miles starting and finishing at a restaurant where we all have breakfast together. It's a fun way to socialize and refuel after the ride Other things I see good ride leaders do:-
- Clearly communicate the route, distance and pace of the ride a day or two beforehand.
- Make sure riders are properly equipped for the ride (we've had people show up for 50 mile rides in 95+ deg heat without a water bottle!! They were told they could not ride with us)
- During the ride, stick to the communicated pace.
- Be clear about where to regroup, especially after climbs. Long climbs will string out the group, everybody, even the pros, climb at their own speed so regrouping after long climbs is almost always required.
- If it is a big group, appoint a sweeper, this is a competent rider who is willing to hang at the back and help the slowest riders or anyone who gets into trouble as necessary.
- Always consider the whole group's safety, especially on busy roads and at intersection/lights.
_ Have fun!!!!

Honestly, riding alone is not a bad thing. And a casual ride with friends is one thing, an organized paced ride is not for me whatsoever.
I was not on your ride, but I had just thought about this in a recent blog post (and here I go, quoting myself. Bleah!)
This ride, BTW, was a casual ride for casual bicyclists. So I didn't deal with route sheets or things like that. Some of these folks may only ride their bikes 6 times a year.
So how does one successfully lead a ride? Here are my thoughts.
Know your riders. Have a vague clue of their abilities and the kind of ride they'd enjoy. This is kind of self-selecting for the rides I lead, which are fairly well described and the riders choose the rides which interest them.
I have had to only once discourage a rider from one section of a two part ride, since I was pretty sure he was not physically fit. He found the second, easier half "just right" so that worked out OK. AND he got to hang out in a coffee place while waiting for the second half to begin.
Mother-hen them just a little bit, but don't get crazy with the rules. I routinely ask folks before we set out if they've locked their cars and if they've got water bottles, since water is a safety issue and worrying about your car sucks all the fun out of a ride.
Helmets are required on our rides, but that's an easy visual check. It is there or it is not.
If there is an epidemic of mal-adjusted helmets, I'll mention briefly how helmets are supposed to fit, and see who wants help fixing theirs. Here's a good resource for that.
Let the group know what's expected of them. Explain the rules of the trail, mention rest stops. Use rest stops to talk about what's coming up, don't try to pile all the information on at the beginning of the ride. Although it can be fun to watch their eyes glaze over.
Check on your riders every once in a while. I like to buzz by up the line of people (I'm usually in the back, sweeping unless there's a tricky-to-follow part coming up) and ask them how they are doing. If someone for instance (as happened today) is stuck in one gear for the whole ride but can handle it, don't worry about it.
If someone is looking like the heat or exertion is getting to be too much, get them to take a break and recover for a while. Make them drink water and eat something (I've had to do this). Sometimes you have to hassle them into taking it a little easy, but it beats calling for the EMTs down the road (which I have not had to do).
Know your route! If you are blazing new trails, make sure the group knows it and are comfortable with it. Many will not be. They want to see the leader as infallible. Where's the fun in that, I ask?!
Be prepared. I carry a first aid kit and I know how to use it. Although I don't have a common tube size, I do carry an assortment of tools with me. I know how to change a tube, remove a broken link, and unjam a chain. I stink at adjusting deraillers.
In the past I have fed people along the trail, loaned out a spare helmet, handed out bandaids, and insisted that a rider borrow a waterbottle.
Have fun. If leading rides becomes a hassle, ask yourself why you are still doing it? If you still want to do it, fix the hassles and carry on.
Fun is contagious, but so is un-fun.
In the WCBC rides we do, there is always a leader & follower. They both have communication devices to keep each other informed of what is going on. On all the organized rides I've been on with them, no one is dropped. If someone is lagging behind, the follower stays with that person. I've watched the leader pull over and tell the rest of us to wait for the rest of the group. If the last person is lagging to the point that the rest of the group will have to wait a long time, a decision is made to allow the last person to turn around or take a shorter route back, but the follower does not abandon anyone.
It is possible that this ride was tainted with favoritism. Doesn't surprise me, though. I see it and hear about it often.
Then again, I never know when there's some underlying animosity from my sometimes rocky relations with BCP creeping in. It's even cropped up here in the Clyde Forum. I was on good behavior, but it could be at some point it was decided I was too much trouble to keep with the group.
When I led the Clyde Ride on the Thun Trail in June 2010, I managed to keep the group together until after the lunch break. I rode sweep the final ten miles to make sure everyone got back OK. I certainly didn't drive away before everyone returned.
Just to throw this out there as I am new to the idea of organized group rides, what does an average pace mean? Does it refer to the moving speed or the distance covered in an hour? Does a 12 mph ride mean that the ride will move at 12 mph or cover 12 miles in an hour?
I have been under the impression it refers to moving speed, but after the ride Neil is referring too I was wondering if some people might be interpreting it differently?
It's usually the moving speed but for some rides the stated speed is the max speed allowed on that ride. In the case of the peach ride it turned out to be the average speed including breaks.
The funniest moment was the lady on the "bike of sisyphus" who refused any help with her flat because I obviously didn't have a clue about fixing a bike because I wasn't doing their stated average speed.
And since I've mentioned BCP a couple of times let me state that while BCP members were involved in this peach thing, it doesn't appear to have been a club ride - I didn't see it in the club's schedule of events.

Now this looks like a family that is prepped and ready for some serious snow. Because that's what's happening in New York, right?
Gwyneth Paltrow and her kiddies Moses and Apple (I will never not giggle when I say those names) were spotted arriving at JFK yesterday. They all look pretty worn from their flight, especially Gwyneth.
Also, can we take a second and talk about how Apple is a carbon copy of Gwyneth? I would not surprised if actual cloning was involved. So, did you hear what Martha Stewart said about Goopie?
A TMZ reporter asked Martha who the better lifestyle coach is: her or Gwyneth? To which Martha replied, "Lifestyle coach? Oh, for heaven's sake. You have to live to be a coach." Oh ma gawd. Martha is throwing some serious shade. It would even make the drag queens proud.

Newmanstown, PA - The calendar may tell us that it's April, but the temperatures were downright early-March last Saturday night as Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway opened its 54th season of Micro-Sprint competition. The action on the race track was hot and heavy, though, helping to warm all of the brave souls who saw Ken Miller, Birdsboro, capture the 600cc feature race that served as the nightcap of the event.
RTS Chassis sponsored the entire evening, and there was an RTS car parked in victory lane after the 270cc headliner. Two-time and defending point champion Richie Hartman triumphed in that one, while Peter Michael of Lititz was victorious in the feature for the 250cc Four-Stroke Micros. Jesse Maurer, from Mount Joy, Pa., notched the win in the 125cc feature, and Royersford's Jamie Fetterolf drove to victory in the 25-lapper for the Sportsman class.
As the winner of the first heat race for the 600cc Micros, Miller pulled the pill that determined a "straight up" format for the feature line-up. As a result, he started on the pole for the 25-lap chase, and proceeded to lead every lap.
"But it wasn't easy," noted the breathless Miller after the race. "I had to survive a lot of restarts, and the car started bobbling a little near the end. I'm just glad we made it to the finish."
Fifth-starting Ryan Wilson passed Bob Devault for the runner-up spot with ten to go, but couldn't muster a serious challenge to the leader. Devault wound up third, with Chris Gerhart and Jamie Kostic rounding out the top five. Kostic started 12th and advanced seven positions, but the race's biggest mover was Mike Rutherford. Taking the green from the outside of row seven (14th), Rutherford muscled Gary Hunter's No. 7H to a sixth-place finish.
Miller, Shane Lewis, and Devault won heat races for the 30-car field. The consolation went to Jeff Halligan.
In the 270cc main event, Dave Grube set the pace after pole-sitter Roger Graham III executed a half-spin in turn two that ended with his No. 17 laying on its side.
With Grube cruising out front, the scrambling behind him was intense as Greg Miller, Mike Uhrich, Steve Drevicki, and ninth-starting Richie Hartman battled furiously for the remaining top five positions.
Hartman wrestled third away from Uhrich on lap nine, then zipped past Miller for the runner-up spot just two circuits later. Numerous caution periods enabled Hartman to stay close to Grube, but the Penn State Senior repelled each attack to his lead. Grube maintained the momentum as he ran a lane or two off the bottom, with Hartman sticking the nose of his No. 39 under the leader at both ends of the speedway.
The terrific battle came to a sudden close with 22 complete, as Grube slowed with mechanical problems in turn two. One final restart put Jesse Maurer on Hartman's tail, but a great restart enabled Hartman to pull away and register the victory.
"Grube was really fast, and I showed my nose, so he kind of shut the door on me a couple of times," said Hartman. "It's a shame that he broke...he was real fast, but I think I would have gotten him eventually."
Maurer, Greg Miller, A.J. Michael (subbing for Heath Hehnly), and Scott Gingrich made up the rest of the top five.
Heat race victories were captured by Jason Swavely, Christi Sweigart, and Brandon Bucher. Sheena Schaefer won the consolation race for the 270's, as 27 drivers entered the event in this class.
Jessica Mohler and Peter Michael made up the first row as the 250cc Four-Strokes took the green flag for their first feature of 2010. Mohler vaulted into the lead, where she remained for seven trips around the high banked oval.
Michael pounced on a lap eight restart, shooting by Mohler as they charged off the fourth turn. Mohler's car did not immediately come up to speed, allowing Eddie Nocera and Craig DeSantis to get past her as well.
Michael went on to claim the win, followed by Nocera, DeSantis, Kim Enck, and Amanda Schlegel.
Two qualifying heats were run for the Four-Strokes, with Mohler and Michael recording wins.
By winning the first heat race for the 125cc Micros, the Mount Joy Outlaw also stole the feature victory in that class - even though no one knew it at the time.
Jesse Maurer triumphed in that heat race, then pulled the pill that afforded him the opportunity to start on the pole in the main event. With a pair of track championships under his belt in the 125cc division, and the potent Gary Gorski owned No. 21 at his disposal, Maurer made short work of the field in the 25-lap feature. He led wire to wire, with sophomore sensation Bradley Brown finishing a distant second.
Cody Drace, defending champ Bret Habecker, and Mark Yoder finished third through fifth.
Habecker joined Maurer as a heat race winner in the pair of qualifying races run for the 125's.
"My dad builds a great engine; we just had to get the car dialed in. And tonight, we had it working great." Those were the words of Sportsman victor Jamie Fetterolf during his winner's circle interview on Saturday.
Jeff Hughes jumped from his pole starting spot to lead the 24-car field for the first 14 revolutions. Fetterolf began the race in third, fell to fourth early, then quickly dashed into the runner-up position and initiated his pursuit of the leader. He stalked Hughes as the front runners entered lapped traffic, then made his move in turns three and four.
Once out front, Fetterolf left Hughes and the others to fight for second. Hughes won that battle, as he trailed Fetterolf to the stripe ahead of Donna Geib, Brett Wanner, and Jason Swavely, who started 22nd.
Fetterolf also earned the year's first Valken Racing Fast Lap of the Week by recording the single quickest lap of the Sportsman feature. On lap 18, Fetterolf blazed around the clay in 11.07 seconds to secure the $25 Gift Certificate from Valken Racing.
Sportsman heat winners included Hughes, Geib, and Fetterolf.
Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway swings back into action this Saturday, April 24, with another event for its five weekly classes.

Gates open at 3:30, with warm-ups scheduled for 5:00. The first heat race goes green at 6 p.m.
Adult general admission is just $8.00, with discounts for Senior Citizens, students, and children between the ages of six and 12. Children under six are admitted free, and parking is always free at the Clyde.

Ok, So I am all for supporting my LBS. The area I'm in could use all the local support it can get. (I'm living in Joplin, Mo... big tornado last year, 1/3 of the area gone. Currently rebuilding. I was lucky and out of town at an old Hardcore punk show; I now have the right to say "D.R.I. saved my life" how sad is that if you know of the band...) anyways getting back to my actual topic here now: I'm in the market for a new bike and I feel compelled to buy local but can't fully convince myself it's worth it.
I'm not going to present the age old question of what bike should I get. I allready know that. Well, almost know that. Eitherway it's not my question. My question is should I buy from the LBS or mail order. See heres my dilemma:
There are two shops in the area. One is out of the question due to the fact 1) they don't carry what I want. Which I feel justifies my reasoning enough. If I really wanted more justification to avoid the shop how bout when they told me "Surley's are good bikes but you can't get them warrentied easily in the states becasue there just so rare and not many people carry them." then they go on to to show me there "popular" line of Red Line bikes. Nothing against red line but really come on now. How do you say that about Surley and then try to sell me Red Line. I have other issues with this shop but this thread isn't to be about only them...
So across town now, at the other shop. First off, this is the shop I use for my current bike the few times I'm stomped and can't fix something or I need a part etc. Shop guys are all nice and I don't feel lied to. They have a 2011 GT Peace Tour. I was unfamiliar with this bike. I mean I know GT, but not the Peace Tour... or any of the GT line as of late. Heres the catch tho. The price on the GT is 925$, (or it was 975$ I don't remember honestly) That seems high for it. All be it all I got to go off of is few old internet posts about it. As far as I can tell the msrp is only 850$.
So basically I need to know if thats worth it? Cuz to me it seems like a higher than normal price on a last years canceled model. I mean true I'll get "life time adjustments" which I do on my own anyways. I'm supporting locally. Tho, I all ready do my part for my community. Course more never hurts... just feels like a kick in the butt to pay that high of price.
So can you convince me to pay extra at LBS or should I go Nashbar and/or Performance. I don't care what bike you think I should get only what purchasing route I should take.

The Indian rupee fell and bond yields surged on Friday after retail inflation spiked to its highest on record, raising expectations of another rate hike by the central bank and adding to the woes of the embattled government.
Reserve Bank of India chief Raghuram Rajan said on Thursday that he was "very uncomfortable" with the inflation reading, a comment that likely seals the case for him to deliver his third rate increase next Wednesday, despite a weak economy.
"Given the upside surprise, and the possibility of higher food prices feeding into core, we see risks that the RBI may tighten earlier than expected," Goldman Sachs said in a note following the data.
"We continue to expect the repo rate to go up to an above- consensus 8.5 percent by end-June 2014," it said, a move that would mark another 75-basis-point increase from the current policy rate.
The rupee weakened as far as 62.18 to the dollar, a one-week low, and was last trading at 62.14/15. It had last closed at 61.81/82.
Bond yields surged, with the 10-year yield up 7 basis points at 8.92 per cent.
The BSE Sensex was down 0.6 percent. Sharply higher food prices drove up retail inflation to 11.24 percent in November from 10.17 percent in October, data released on Thursday showed.
Some traders even flagged the prospect of a surprise 50- basis-point hike by the RBI, though most still expect a more modest increase of 25 basis points.
High inflation has been a key factor behind the Congress government's poor showing at the recent state elections and it can ill-afford continued discontent among its primarily poor support base ahead of general elections due by May.
Factory output, however, showed a contraction in October, muddying the waters for the central bank which will also be under pressure from the government to support a fledging economic recovery.
"After such a print and statement, he (Rajan) now has to hike rates next week - hurting the growth outlook, or lose credibility, both of which would be INR-negative," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, a Hong Kong-based strategist with Credit Agricole CIB.
"The government is bound to pressure him not to do so given the unfavourable growth impact ahead of H114 elections, and we expect the INR to keep falling," he said.

Anna Kournikova Leaves The Biggest Loser – Will You Miss Her?
November 16, 2011 07:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Anna Kournikova of NBC's The Biggest Loser recently announced that she would not be returning to the show after this season, but it was not confirmed whether or not the tennis pro was fired, or she quit on her own. This season, we have watched Anna Kournikova struggle to get through to some of the contestants, although others have had successful weight loss on her watch, so we can't help but wonder where she went wrong? More after the jump…
The Biggest Loser fans will not have to endure Anna Kournikova as a trainer next season, or any season after that for that matter. Anna Kournikova issued this statement yesterday as she announced she was leaving the show: "I enjoyed my time on the Biggest Loser ranch. Although I will not be returning as a full time trainer on season 13, I will always be a part of The Biggest Loser family and my commitment to bettering lives through health and fitness will continue." It was not confirmed whether or not the tennis pro was fired, or if she quit on her own, but we have a sneaking suspicion that she may have been fired – although some sources say it was a mutual decision.
Last week, when we chatted with Joe Mitchell, he gushed about Anna Kournikova, and how she changed his thinking, but other contestants this season were not as lucky. Bonnie, for one, dealt with the constant feeling that Anna never gave her enough credit for her hard work, while she praised everyone else. Ironically, when Bonnie switched to another trainer, she started to see results that she hadn't seen all season – coincidence? We think not! Sources continue to claim that Anna was difficult to work with, even referring to her as "a nightmare."
Anna Kournikova never really caught on with viewers either. Could that be because she never shared much with us? I mean, for weeks we have been listening to Dolvett Quince open up, little by little, and last night he shared his full childhood sob story with us all – and if you are anything like me, you had a tear in your eye while watching. We can't help but wonder why Anna Kournikova never opened up more, so we may have connected with her better.
So now we want to know: Will you miss Anna Kournikova, or are you thrilled that she is gone? Also, would you like to see Dolvett Quince come back next season, or should he leave next? We know that you have an opinion, and we want to hear it! Comment below and share your thoughts with us!
Also, stay tuned later as Reality TV Magazine has both a press conference with Bonnie, and an exclusive interview with former trainer, Kim Lyons, so we are sure to have more opinions on the exit of Anna Kournikova from these ladies!

I think Anna opened up a little bit about herself to her "new" blue team but I think it was too late and not enough. Like we say in poker – Ace King is the "Anna Kournikova" – looks pretty but doesn't win. I just think she had some big shoes to fill, i.e. Jillian. I love Dolvett and would love to see him come back. I would love to see Jillian come back too but remember….we all thought she was a B*&%H at first too. I do like the format with the 3 trainers but two would be fine too.

I think Anna was a great trainer, her accent was difficult to decipher at times but she, in my opinion was a good trainer. I think that it was difficult to work with the elderly group because she wanted to do circuit training that they weren't able bodied enough to participate. Lastly, I'm sorry Bonnie but it was time for you to go two weeks ago. You are on the biggest loser to push limits and with Anna you gave up to soon. She tired to push you and you said no. It gave me the impression that Bonnie doesn't deserve to be on the show.

Yes I will miss Anna. She is not Jillian and her style is different. I think Bonnie would be difficult regardless who trained her at first. Best wishes to her.
S Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 8:04 am
I don't think she is actually a licensed trainer. That should be a requirement to be on that show. That might be why she can't connect as she has not been formally trained as a "trainer".

Anna was horrible, rude and an awful trainer. the fact that they did get rid of her right away is pretty disturbing.

yes, I think Dolvett should come back next season. I think that Bonnie is a baby, she is a whinner as well. As for Anne she doesn't seem to be a happy person and has no personality
Fester Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 9:30 am
I liked her and will be sorry to see her go. I got the feeling that the contestants thought she would be a push over and when she wasn't, they rebelled against her. Cry babies like Bonnie should have went home weeks ago! I am soooo glad I won't have to listen to Bonnie whine anymore!

I love the Biggest Loser and have never missed an episode. However, this season, I've been taping the episodes so I can fast forward through the parts with Anna. For whatever reason, she just grated on my nerves and I wasn't impressed with her coaching/training techniques. Just because she is an athlete and has had to train for tennis doesn't make her a trainer. I will not miss her at all and say good riddance!
CONSHR Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 10:17 am
I was not thrilled she was on the show and wondered what gave her the ability to train. She's a tennis star/player; she's beautiful and seems to have never had any issues with weight or the feeling of no worth. It would have been good to hear her side of what made her the trainer to train obese people.
Dolvett should definitely stay – he shows extreme care and ability to train the people mentally and physically.
m&m Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 10:32 am
I will not miss Anna. Please do not get rid of Dolvett, he is wonderful. I would like to see a battle of the trainers. Bring back Brett, Bob, and Dolvett and make the competition tougher for them. Let the three of them battle it out. that would be fun since the three of them are highly competitive.
LE Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 11:27 am
I don't think the sharing/not sharing was the issue…I felt kindof yuk! when Delvett shared last night…I felt manipulated. TMI too soon. Seriously, what do we know about Bob's childhood? The problem with Anna is she isn't Jillian. That was the problem with last year's trainers, and that silly blond they had a few years ago. They need to pay Jillian what she's worth and bring her back!

I liked Anna as a person, but I never felt she was qualified to be a personal trainer. She trained all of her life, yes, but her training was specific for her and her fitness goals. I just never felt like she had much knowledge in relating to these contestents and helping them on their weight loss journey.
On the other hand, I LOVE Dolvett. I think he is absolutely fabulous and I REALLY want him to stay on the show.
12know Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
I think it was a good move. Anna just didn't seem to relate to the contestants at all; probably because she has never had a weight problem. Jillian may have been tough but she also had a soft side, deep down. She would give credit to contestants who gave it their all. She remembers being heavy as a teenager so she is familiar with emotional eating. I think that Dolvett should stay as he is an inspiration to many contestants. FYI, the trainers may seem harsh at times but they have to be. These people have serious issues, both physically and emotionally. They have to be "kicked in the butt" to understand the seriousness of their condition and to know that overeating is not the answer to emotional problems.

I'll miss her, been a crush for a long time.
Given how she was raised, basically to be a machine, I'm not shocked she wasn't a great fit with everyone. She seemed to have little patience and less sympathy. Some respond to that, but if you need to be babied she would be a nightmare.
Vivian L Adams Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
I will not be sorry to see Anna Kournikova leave. I did not care for her. And as for Dolvett, I am not particularly fond of him either. Sometimes he is downright scary.
Chelsea Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Keep Dolvett!
Carolyn Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Will NOT miss Anna. She was not a good match for the show or the contestants. I like Dolvett. I'd like to see him come back.
Shana Says:
November 16th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
I personally did not care for Anna as a trainer on Biggest loser. I felt like she was very phony with her feelings towards the contestants and she really doesnt know how to talk to people without coming off like shes being ignorant.
Mirra Says:
November 17th, 2011 at 12:25 am
I liked Anna. Its her first season. Cut her some slack. Going into it it didn't seem like the contestants had much respect for her at all. She is new so that will happen. As far as Bonnie goes, she was so sensitive the whole show.
Lordes Says:
November 17th, 2011 at 7:47 am
Hell Yes. She is the reason I watch the show. Bring her BacK!
Ms Chriss Says:
November 17th, 2011 at 11:07 am
No, I wil not miss Anna; I'm glad she will not be back next season. Anna seems like a nice person, maybe, and she is defintely a great athlete BUT she is not a trainer!! I really felt for those that had to train with her. I do love Dolvett and hopes he stays on the show for a very long time like Bob.
Bob Says:
November 18th, 2011 at 6:39 am
Anna was great. I will not watch the show next season.
Pat Says:
November 18th, 2011 at 6:40 am
Enjoyed Anna's approach. Bonnie should have left the show much sooner (constant complainer). Will no longer watch the show.
Dana Says:
November 24th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
Yes, we will miss her. She got a bum deal at first and then did better than Bob once she got better contestants. Bonny was horrible! We fast forwarded her. Dolvett is one that we fastforward because he is mean and cruel – hard to watch to say the least. We will no longer watch this show.
Trina Says:
December 13th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Bring Jill back!!! Good Riddence Anna kick rocks;))))
Jason Says:
December 30th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
I thought Anna was a great coach. The problem was with the contestants, not her. Bonnie, for example complained and whined the entire time and never tried. Why? Because she didn't like taking orders from a girl. Dolvett succeeded simply because he is a man, not because he was a better trainer. She smiled every time he yelled at her or pushed her forward and was way more abrasive than Anna. I think there is something psychological about it. A lot of women have this old school mentality about authority imprinted in their brain somewhere and it has nothing to do with men putting it there. They just don't want to listen to a female authority figure, especially one younger and prettier than they are. I think, like Jillian, Anna is all about getting them healthy and Dolvett is better for ratings, period.

Friends Toddler Boy(20 months) is mean to my Toddler Girl (18 months).
Every week once or twice a week my friend brings her son over to play with my daughter they are about 2 months apart. Her son is "mean" he is alway grabbing my daughter by the neck of her shirt and pushing her to the ground. Or he will run up to her and push her down, take (rip) her things out of her hands. He just about pulled her off the kitchen chair she would have hit the floor had I not been right there to catch her. He is kinda violent I know it must just be a stage but what can I do to get him to stop being so mean to her. The way he grabs her and handles her is rough if I ever seen my daughter do that to another person she would get a spanking on the butt and a time out to think about her actions. It truly bothers me, I dont like how she sits back and lets her son do this to my daughter and I am the one looking at him and telling him NO, when I want to paddle his but. This is my best friends son I watched him be born, I want them to get along and be friends. Please help

your friend should DEFINITELY be addressing this! But maybe she figures if you arent saying something you arent bothered...i would either say something to her about it or correct him yourself. you two are close and best friends so she should be ok with this :) good luck :)posted 10/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Your friend ought to be addressing this, so your first attempt should be to talk with her about how you can both help your children learn to play nicely with others. If she can't or won't intervene and you still want to get together for playdates with them, then you'll need to learn how to deal with it directly. At 20 months he's too young to really understand the threat of no more playdates and spanking is probably not going to help this situation, even if she let you do it. Your tools will have to be consistent kind-but-firmness and redirection. "No no *boy*, we need to be gentle with *girl*. Here, let's give her a new toy to play with. Yay, now she's happy! That was kind of you." Toddlers get frustrated when they hear "No" and they often honestly don't know (& are too immature to figure out) what IS expected of them. Taking the time to show him how to be nice to people and reinforcing it with positive attention will do a lot to help him learn how to behave at your houseposted 10/16/2012 by spiralingsnails
You should just tell your friend how you feel. because FIRST if she dont discipline him NOW then he's going to think that what is doing is ok, and when he starts pre school or kindergarten he's going to be doing the same things and when he gets put in time out or gets yelled at he wont like it. If he keeps acting up like that he could even get kicked out or pre school or kinder. Thats what happened to my baby cousin... just let her know that she needs to put him in time and or give him a little spanking every now nd thenn .posted 10/16/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I would speak to her.First I would speak to the boy as soon as it happens.Our first instinct as parents is to protect our children.So letting your friends child bully yours just because it is your friends child doesn't make it ok.Tell the boy we don't do that and if he can't play nicely he won't be allowed to play with her anymore.Ask him why he does those things.Ask your friend why she allows it.Even though these behaviors may be normal at that stage doesn't make them ok.You have to correct bad behavior before it escalates.posted 10/16/2012 by lala1983

One of the many wonderful things about our mountain community is its musical talent — both professional musicians and upcoming students who one day might become professionals. On Saturday, Feb. 6, these professionals and apprentices will gather to perform in the Mountain Area Orchestra Festival.
The Jeffco Board of Education is considering three options for changing school boundaries and bus routes in Indian Hills, though district staff has recommended that no changes be made.
One option would focus on the Parmalee Elementary School articulation area that currently feeds to West Jeff Middle School and change the boundary, sending students instead to Evergreen Middle.
Jefferson County Open Space and the Colorado State Forest Service are planning a prescribed fire, possibly in mid-February, in areas of Flying J Ranch Park in Conifer.
Areas targeted are open meadows consisting of native grasses and some noxious weeds, including cheat grass. After an initial prescribed fire, a second application of prescribed fire will occur two to three years after surface vegetation has developed. The plan will then call for prescribed fire to occur in a 12- to 15-year rotation.

When members of Congress and Pentagon leaders realized we needed to close military bases around the country and find ways to use others better, they knew they would face impossible political dilemmas. Communities around the country would fight to keep their bases and missions. What politician with an ounce of self-preservation instinct would vote to close a base in his or her own district?
Perhaps it was the full moon Jan. 29 that turned the visiting 10th-ranked Wheat Ridge Farmers into a pack of snarling wolves.
Perhaps it was really Conifer's fault, as the rival Lobos had roughed up the Farmers three days prior, making them particularly focused when they arrived in town.
Or just blame the basketball, which seemed to like Evergreen's basket about as much as Jon loves Kate.
The bark beetle continued to chew its way through Colorado's and Wyoming's lodgepole pine forests at the rate of 524,000 new acres in 2009, a 32 percent increase over 2008.
The numbers were announced Jan. 22 at a news conference at which the Colorado State Forest Service and the U.S. Forest Service unveiled the results of the annual forest health aerial survey highlights for the previous year.
A new lawyer, Daniel H. Kyser of Denver, appeared in court Jan. 19 on behalf of Kenneth Gerald Berry, 66, the Evergreen man accused of securities fraud. Berry was in court for a scheduled arraignment hearing.
With a new lawyer involved, District Judge Tamara S. Russell agreed to postpone the arraignment until 1:30 p.m. Feb. 16 to give him time to read his client's file.
The arraignment originally was scheduled for Dec. 21, then postponed to Jan. 19, when Berry's lawyer, John Tinder, withdrew because he said he hadn't been paid as promised.

Mississippi's statewide bobwhite quail hunting season will open November 28, 2013 and close March 1, 2014. The daily bag limit is eight quail. Several public lands around the state offer quail hunting opportunities, but hunters should be prepared to put in some time to find birds. "Some of the best places to find quail during the hunting season are in or near thicker cover patches or edges associated with fields and upland forests with grassy ground cover. Our summer population estimates varied considerably, but many areas surveyed were stable or slightly increasing," said Dave Godwin, Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) Small Game Program Coordinator. "We also had many positive reports of brood sightings in areas of suitable habitat which indicates good reproduction this summer."
"We need suitable quail habitat at larger scales to achieve sustainable hunting opportunities. Habitat improvements are increasing in some localized areas, and we continue to monitor response and promote adding habitat in those areas," said Rick Hamrick, MDWFP Small Game Biologist. "This often involves encouraging landowners within a local community to promote management practices among their neighbors to increase the scale of suitable habitat available to quail."
For more information regarding quail hunting and management in Mississippi, visit our website atwww.mdwfp.com/quail or call us at (601) 432-2199. Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mdwfp or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/MDWFPonline.
