Panama City Beach, FL--Monday night it was an early season matchup between crosstown rivals as the Mosley Dolphins went west to face the Arnold Marlins, both teams coming in with one and oh marks,
We'll pick it up in the second quarter, Arnold working with a two point lead, Blake West in the lane, goes up once, then twice, can't get it to go, but Doug Lott is there to put back the second miss.
Then a bit later, it's West driving, then dishing outside to Lott who cans the three pointer, Marlins up at the half 24-21.
Second half coach Martello's squad rallies, first it's Kurt Barger with the steal and the layup.
Then the 'fins work it around to the corner for Nate Dixon who hits for three, one point Mosley lead in the 4th, but Arnold able to make enough plays to retake the lead for good, this is Calvin Cox with the steal, the drive
¶and the bucket, Arnold hangs on for a hard fought 43-40 win, Lott with 13.

The San Francisco Bay Area Boy Scout Council has honored Tom Sorley, Chairman and CEO of Rosendin Electric (www.rosendin.com), the nation's largest private electrical contractor and a 100% employee-owned company, as its 2011 "Good Scout" Honoree.
Having previously served on the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Bay Area Council, Boy Scouts of America for a number of years, Sorley remains extremely active in supporting the Scouts. The accolade as "Good Scout" for 2011 was bestowed on Sorley for his support of the Bay Area Boy Scout over the years, and for his leadership in the construction industry. The award also recognizes the ongoing role that Rosendin Electric continues to play in supporting Bay Area scouting, and the contribution the company makes to Bay Are communities.
The award was presented at the 33rd Annual Construction Industry Lunch-O-Ree, an industry fund-raising luncheon that generates more than $300,000 annual for local Boy Scout programs. This year's Lunch-O-Ree, held at the San Francisco Hilton Union Square, was attended by Mike Montgomery, Head Men's Basketball Coach for the Cal state Bears.
"The future of the construction industry and the future of our country are in the hands of today's youth, which is why I am such an avid supporter of scouting," Sorley said. "Few organizations imbue the kind of values and sense of self-reliance as the Boy Scouts. I know that many of today's Scouts' will be tomorrow's electricians and construction engineers, and I am proud to support even a small part in shaping their future."
Sorley also serves on advisory boards at Arizona State University, Cal Poly University, the Building Futures Council, The Beavers, and was the former Chairperson for the Design Build Institute of America. In 2011, Sorley was elected to the National Academy of Construction. He is also an active Member with the Construction Industry Round Table (CIRT) and has worked extensively with AGC on their initiatives to improve productivity in the construction industry as well as several joint committees for IBEW/NECA.

I'm sorry you have to race around a parking lot.
1. I so don't care about the bike you're riding. I know you think you're doing your sponsors a solid, but they don't care and you're boring the rest of us.
2. I do like the multiple cameras, including the one off the bike. Just in terms of making a more entertaining video to watch, it's a good touch. In terms of improving your racing and making the race comprehensible, it's not any help.
3. That gap had formed way before you did anything about it. If you're going to close a gap, you need to do it WAY sooner than that. Also, yelling "wide wide!" doesn't communicate anything - at least, it's not clear to me what benefit there is to you saying it versus not. If you're going to go and there's room, go and don't worry about it. If you want someone on your wheel, gesture as you go past or tell them to get on your wheel.
4. What waterrockets said. Those gaps are going to happen that much more easily and be that much harder to close if you're riding that far away from everyone else.
5. You say that you're marking these two guys, they jump immediately after that... and you hesitate about jumping on their wheel. It worked out, but this is puzzling. If you're marking a rider, MARK THEM.
7. And so on.
There's nothing unusually weak about your racing for what looks to me like a cat 5 or 4 Masters crit, and at least you're trying, but basically what topflightpro said - there's a lot of pretty elementary errors in there with how close you're drafting (when you're drafting at all), letting huge gaps open up, yelling pointless noise as you go through corners, etc. Keep working on the teamwork (it's HARD, I'm no frickin' good at working for a teammate yet), but pay more attention to the fundamentals. Stay close, don't let big gaps open up, and see #5 above: if you're allegedly marking a rider, MARK THEM, FFS.

Hahahaha grolby made a funny too...
"if you ride it the way it's meant to be ridden there's no way any wife is less of a ***** than a bicycle." - gstein
The video is reeeaaalllly slow to load, so a few more from the finale, as it were:
8. You say "I'm working for Craig tonight," but I see virtually nothing you're doing that is actually helpful... and in the end, he gaps you because you've blown yourself up closing big gaps in the wind and not riding wheels closely.
9. You say "You don't bridge up to your own guy," but you weren't, were you? He rode away from you easily. You should have slowed up a tiny bit and let someone come around you, instead it looks like you all but stopped pedaling. But based on how the race ended, looks like you were pretty blown, so maybe there was nothing to do about it.
10. How is Craig "in position" on the front of the group with a big gap between him and the next group up the road? That's the opposite of "in position." That's about the worst possible scenario I can think of for a rider who is supposedly your protected team leader. Short of actually being dropped, I mean.
11. Again, NO ONE GIVES TWO CRAPS ABOUT YOUR BIKE.
Can I make a suggestion? Forget about being a "domestique" for a while and just focus on your own racing. Do your best to get your own results. You need to build your fundamentals, because without them, you are totally ineffective as a worker. The pros and high-level amateur racers who do domestique work for their teammates are strong and effective racers in their own right - in order to upgrade or go pro, you need to get results of your own, after all. Learn how to race, THEN learn how to race for a teammate.

Yep. It's tough to screw with a leadout when there are only 1 or 2 people in the pack who can hold the damn wheel.
Seemed rather odd, actually. Were I to post a video of our local crits (unlikely, I'm no photographer) most of the time I'd be seen to be surrounded by other riders.
Eff. Lost text.
Basically +1 on all of grolby's gap stuff.
Music, meh. Some people don't like the music I put on my clips. Bike, some people asked me what kind of bike I had (like it made a difference). So that stuff is irrelevant.
My leadout guys have always been much stronger than me. In 2010 the FJC clip where I get a leadout - my leadout guy was an ex-pro mountain biker, avg over 380 watts for the race. I did 180 but I was the sprinter. I've had quite a few leadouts where the guy drops me accidentally (but to be fair I was asking them to hold some high speeds).
I think what has happened is you're focusing on the deluxe stuff and forgetting about the basics. Teamwork is great but it requires very good riding from all members of the team in question. Even pros can't get it right - just read some of the Cavendish/leadout articles from earlier this spring. Focus on the basics - being a good rider in the field, always being sheltered if you're not making a move, etc.
The gaps are the most important thing. If you leave a gap you're not drafting. You need to draft to change what is sort of a "crowded time trial" race into a mass start race. If you can't follow directly behind you need to move to the side a bit. 1' back, 1' to the side, that's better than 5' behind. I think you have more aggressive camera lenses than me but if that's the case you should be seeing your front wheel in the picture, if the lens "distances" stuff so much.
For example when you try to follow that one move you never get on his wheel. You end up time trialing 5-8' behind him. If you just closed up to a foot (and when following one rider it should be closer to an inch for every 10 mph, so 2-3") you'd have had much more shelter.
You need to follow moves quicker too. I can't read your mind but it seems like you're not really aware that the guy is going for a pedal stroke or two, or, if you are, you "gather yourself" before you get going. If you are following someone you need to follow them right now, not "in a bit".
Again, if you let the gap go then you're not drafting.
One thing is I learned is that when I'm really relaxed about a race I blink enough that my eyes aren't irritated at the end of a race. For really, really intense races I have to back out of the group, get to the back, and literally let my eyes recover from being so dry/irritated. If you're blinking a lot you're probably not paying enough attention.
Ultimately you're going to need to do some slow speed drills to gain confidence in close quarters. Bumping (side to side) drills. Touching wheel drills (front wheel to back wheel) - these require a soft landing surface and very slow speeds initially, so grass lawn and 5-8 mph tumbles (and you should at least think about tumbling practice - tuck your head in is the most important part for me).
Once you have some close quarter drills down (30-60 minutes at a time, figure 5-10-15 sessions would be good) you should be able to ride at 5-8 mph while people literally push you from either side, hit your front wheel, and you'll stay upright fine. This translates into shrinking your "sphere" of vulnerability, the sphere that surrounds your bars and front wheel.
When on form mentally my sphere extends about 1" around the tire, follows the spokes. It's maybe 3" outside my hands. It comes in over my forearm (I'm short on the bike) - I've slid my bar under a tall rider's arm to get by in emergency maneuvers.
1" around my tire means if you rolled my front wheel up to the cassette of a bike my sphere clears the derailleur cable housing to the right, the spokes to the left, and the cassette in front. In other words my tire is almost inside that bike's "rear wheel area", well inside the dropout, tire almost skimming the cassette, tire definitely surrounded on both sides by parts of that other bike.
That's about the riskiest drill I'll do on the road, on group rides or whatever (last time I did it was a few years ago on a non-racing group ride). Sometimes I'll tell the rider in front that I'm "riding close" and to hold a decent line (I did on those group rides), other times I won't tell the rider (typically Cat 1 or pros).
The drill itself isn't too productive in and of itself but the fact that I can do it means that riding "way far away" compared to that is easy. 3" at 30 mph. Whatever. Someone slams into me just before the sprint. Whatever. Someone cuts across my front wheel in a turn? Okay.
If someone unexpectedly swerves across my front wheel hard while at speed I'll hit the deck. Anything less than that I'm okay. You should strive to be as secure on your bike. This will let you ride much closer to the others, enabling you to get much more effective shelter from the wind. Combined with a snappy alertness you'll be using much less energy and still be able to respond to the sharp moves. It may be that you'll be the protected rider because you'll be so fresh when you get to the crucial points of the race, whether when a break goes or the sprint comes up.
An example of why it's important to follow moves right away, from a crit I was in last year. A teammate of mine had attacked on the second lap. When he came back, I saw our main rival and one of the strongest guys in the Cat 4 peloton that year winding up, and I happened to be in perfect position to follow him. So he jumped and I was on him right away. Another guy I know jumped on my wheel as well, again, immediately, and we were gone. Half a lap later, we started rotating and that was the podium. But that's not the lesson. The lesson comes from the fourth guy who tried to join the move but was a bit slow to react. He didn't grab a wheel right away, so instead he had to grind his way up over the course of one or two laps. And he made it, but then got blown out the back again almost immediately. Jumping immediately (and having the legs to stick it, yes) meant a guaranteed placing thanks to the team tactics in play that day. Missing it by even a little bit, and a rider who was obviously very strong was simply out of contention.
When you jump on a strong move like that, even on the wheel you will likely be absolutely groveling and chewing on your stem to get on terms - at least, that's how I feel when I follow a really good attack. Without the wheel, you're doing the same amount of work, but you're doing it without the benefit of the draft. So not only are you possible working even harder, you're working longer. You really want to slam that gap shut - yes, it hurts, but you can make a lot more really hard 10" efforts than 30" efforts in a race, so you want to bias toward the short ones whenever you can.

where do you guys find the time to write a thesis in reply to a crappy music video?
I think what's interesting to me is that it's been a while since I've been in a "newbie" state. I don't have a good grasp on what new riders need to learn because some stuff I take for granted. It's been really eye opening to run the Cat 5 clinics at Bethel because I was shocked/horrified at what I saw the riders doing out on the course.
The biggest thing is learning to draft, reducing that sphere. It's the only thing I wanted to convey during the clinics this year, the idea of drafting, disguised as exercises in tactics and such.
The other thing is doing this without slamming on the brakes.
My theory is that the riders aren't very good drivers. Modern cars don't reward fine pedal control - ABS works best if you slam on the brakes hard. Throttle by wire disguises actual throttle response. Etc. Driving in pretty heavy traffic without dabbing the brakes all the time, driving and never crossing the yellow line (in a curve, making a left turn, etc), being very deliberate about driving... I only see one or two cars like that each time I venture out. I've never seen a good bike racer in terms of riding skills/judgment be a bad driver (careless, okay, but not bad). I've also never seen a good driver be a bad bike racer, again relating to skills/judgment. I haven't been able to do a correlation type thing with manual transmissions and better riders but I see a bunch of automatic transmission drivers that have a hard time grasping gearing/cadence theories quickly - many of those drivers don't understand that power/efficiency changes over the range of rpm, both for the car and the bike.
To me that's the main safety/fluency stuff. The rest is tactics and that's deluxe stuff. Staying upright is the first concern. Racing well is a secondary one.
The original video with music has a link to the full 28 minute race, no music.
I just clicked into it at random, and it wasn't unusual to see the riders coasting, yet it's a flat course. And some riders would move to the front from 2 or 3 back, then just end up towing the rest of the pack.

Not all of us are fortunate to work at a place that has acres of forests, rolling hills, streambeds, wooden bridges, and wildlife — all right out the back door.
But as a Conference Planning Manager for Lied Lodge at Arbor Day Farm, I get to surround myself with these natural elements every day. I know, I know… this is not the typical workplace setting. Many of you reading this right now trudge along in traffic to get to the office, circle endlessly in parking garages looking for a space, lug your stuff through the concrete jungle before sitting down in your cubicle for a solid eight hours and usually more. I feel your pain, and I sympathize.

North Africa in particular is considered the poorest of all African sub-regions in terms of water resources. Except for the Egyptian Nile River Basin, permanent rivers can only be found in the northern part of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Moreover, the increasing demand on water, strictly linked to economic and demographic developments, constitutes a major pressure to these ecosystems. The need to integrate freshwater biodiversity considerations and improve data availability to decision makers for development and planning processes is therefore a priority for sustainability in the short, medium and long term.
North Africa Freshwater Biodiversity
Freshwater habitats and biodiversity are recognized to be under serious threat at global level. Monitoring freshwater basins is therefore important to prevent the loss of these ecosystems. In this assessment, five freshwater taxa, representing a range of trophic levels within the food webs that support wetlands, have been selected in order to evaluate the status and distribution of northern African freshwater biodiversity and, as a consequence, the quality of northern African basins.
Assessment methodology
Freshwater fish, molluscs, dragonflies and damselflies, crabs and aquatic plants have been identified as priority taxa representing the food web and indicators for the overall conservation status of wetland ecosystems. Regional and international experts in collaboration with the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Specialist Groups participated in a preliminary workshop in Rabat (Morocco, February 2007) to collect available data from existing literature on these selected species. Two experts evaluation workshops were then held, one in Porto (Portugal, October 2007) and one in Tabarka (Tunisia, February 2009) to contrast the information, which was then standardized by the IUCN Red List Unit and the Mediterranean Species Programme according to the 2001 IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria: Version 3.1 (IUCN 2001).
Conservation status
The tables below show the classification for the North African freshwater groups assessed at the regional scale. Among the 877 evaluated taxa, 247 (28%) are listed as threatened with extinction, out of which 7% are Critically Endangered (CR), 8% are Endangered (EN), and 13% are Vulnerable (VU); of these threatened taxa 45% are freshwater molluscs, 27% freshwater fishes, 24% dragonflies and 24% aquatic plants. Of the total number of taxa assessed, 9% is Near Threatened (NT), 42% is Least Concern (LC), and 14% is classified as Data Deficient (DD). If compared to similar evaluations implemented in eastern Africa (Darwall et al. 2005) and southern Africa (Darwall et al. 2008), North Africa results have revealed that it is the region with the highest known rate of extinction for freshwater species in the African continent: 2% (1 fish and 17 molluscs) of species native to the region are already extinct at the global level, and 4% are no longer present locally. Moreover, almost half of the 199 (23%) endemic species are threatened with extinction.
Freshwater species richness
Species richness
The most important areas having the highest number of freshwater species assessed are the Middle and High Atlas and the Riff mountains in Morocco, with 385 species; the Subtropical Numidia, with 344 species; and the Egyptian Nile River with 268 species.
Distribution of threatened species
The most important areas in terms of the number of threatened freshwater species are in the North of Morocco and the Atlas mountains, hosting 53% of the species assessed as threatened; the northern coasts of Algeria and Tunisia, with 25% of the threatened taxa; and the Nile River basin, in the southern part of the assessed region, with 13% of the threatened taxa.
Distribution of endemic species
Endemicity in the region is strictly linked to aquatic plants, freshwater molluscs, and freshwater crabs, which are the groups with the highest proportions of unique species. In the Middle and High Atlas, in the Betico-Rifan arc in Morocco, the Kabylia-Numidia region in Algeria and the Kroumiria Mountains in Tunisia, 54% of the regionally freshwater endemic species are present. In spite of these areas being theoretically placed under protection through the establishment of parks and natural reserves, the level of effective protection is often low and degradation sometimes very significant.
Distribution of extinct species
The Nile River basin stands out for being the region where the highest number of North African species has gone extinct, with a total of 28 species.
Regional threats
Habitat loss and degradation: The excessive use of underground water for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes has resulted in an increase of underlying saline waters and has led in many occasions to the degradation and final disappearance of surface water bodies. Moreover, the construction of dams regulating the few large river systems in the region affects almost 14% of the freshwater species assessed. In total, 207 freshwater taxa are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and degradation in North Africa; in the Maghreb, large scale river habitat destruction due to excessive water extraction has already reached catastrophic proportions, with a 34% of the threatened freshwater species found to be affected by this.
Pollution: Pollution has been identified as the second most important cause of freshwater species extinction in the region, affecting more than half of the regionally threatened fauna and flora assessed. In the areas where its impact is higher due to uncontrolled waste disposal from agricultural, domestic and industrial human activities, ground and surface waters suffer an increase in nutrients' concentration. This brings about an excessive growth of algae which, depleting the water of available oxygen, cause the death of many species inhabiting the basin (a phenomenon known as (eutrophication).
Natural disasters: Increasingly frequent and severe drought and flooding episodes, which bring further sediments into freshwater areas, are putting aquatic habitats under a strong pressure. Up to 26% of the threatened species assessed are currently affected by droughts and this tendency is likely to continue in the future with climate changes.
Human disturbance: As a result of tourism and outdoor recreational activities, human disturbance has been identified as a relevant cause of threat affecting 24 aquatic plant species (11% of the threatened species).
Changes in native species dynamics: Aquatic plants living on the ground are the most affected, as they have to compete for space, light and soil nutrients.
Harvesting and over-exploitation: Over-fishing is threatening at least 5 species of freshwater fish in the region, as some have a commercial value at local and national level, and for exports. Over-harvesting threats also 23 aquatic plants, 6 of which are classed as threatened.
Invasive alien species: Invasive alien species have a considerable impact on some indigenous species, through competition for resources, predation, as well as food competitors. They can also breed with native species producing individuals called "hybrids" (phenomenon known as hybridization).
Conclusions and recommendations
The study on freshwater biodiversity in North Africa has brought to life the high level of threat and endemism of freshwater species present in the North Africa region. The percentage of species regionally threatened is very high (28%) and this stresses the fact that freshwater species are facing serious challenges. Furthermore, North Africa biodiversity displays a high concentration of endemic species, a 47% of which is threatened with extinction. The alarming status of these species in the region is an indicator of the degraded status of their freshwater habitat and highlights the responsibility of North African countries to develop and implement conservation actions to preserve these essential resources. The main conservation priorities identified to preserve North African freshwater species from extinction are:
- Applying the Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) approach to ensure the future of rivers and wetlands;
- Adopting sustainable agricultural and waste management techniques to reduce water pollution;
- Enforcing legislation to protect threatened freshwater species and their critical habitats;
- Preserving habitats and species by identifying Key Biodiversity Areas to protect;
- Raising awareness on the importance of biodiversity data to promote a sustainable use and management of wetlands;
- Increasing research efforts, in particular on the species assessed as Data Deficient.

Visit All Gang Bang
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Sex one on one is good, but there is an expression that says, "the more the merrier," and that's why we have the gangbang. All Gang Bang is a large site with lots of chicks getting it on with even more guys. You could even call them a squad of dudes, which would make sense since all of their videos can also be found on a site by the name of Gangbang Squad.
Both AllGangBang and GangbangSquad are designed the exact same way. You sign in and see some featured gangbanging scenes and latest update from across the Pink Visual Pass network. Just click "view all" and you're taken to the 196 episodes, each consisting of a movie and a photo set.
The episdoes are presetned by thumbnails that allow you to have a good look at the female performer or a shot of the action. Mant of these women are quite slender, so it's pretty hot to see them take on up to three bulging boners at once. There's some picking up on the street mixed in with some scripted scenarios and there's a good amount of DP and some "airtight" scenarios, where the gal takes two dicks in her holes and one in her mouth.
Although there's a solid amount of porn, you should know that you can only save 15 movies in a 30-day period. You can, however, stream the flicks in Flash as often as you like. The movies you choose to save will give you HD playback and the pics look pretty good. When you join for more than one month you'll get 15 new downloads each month and siging up for a year or more gets you 50 downloads per month.
The dates are current, but they are most likely rotating their material. The amount of content may fluctuate, but it seems they're just re-adding episides that have already been posted at one time or another. Many of the bonus sites are also doing this and they include MILF Seeker, Teens For Cash and Her First Big Cock.
I think there's a good collection of raunchy sucking and fucking on All Gang Bang and there are also foursomes and interracial fucking, but I have a hard time getting behind their monthly download limit and update situation.

Great A/C unit, bad hose.
This review is from: Sunpentown WA-1410E 14,000 Cooling Capacity (BTU) Portable Air Conditioner
Pros: Powerful, cools alot of air.
Cons: Short hose (5' I think) is bad, we lose cooling power by having to join 2 hoses together to get the hot air out.
Other Thoughts: If they gave us a real exhaust hose, and raised the drain plug up, this unit could be best-of-class (only one other standalone unit @ 14,000BTU and it got negatvie reviews)

Read my cycling blog at http://riderx.info/blogs/riderx
Like climbing? Goto http://www.bicycleclimbs.com
HEED fits the bill for me:
1. It tastes GREAT!! (Whereas other drinks like Gatorade, Powerade, Accelerade, and Cytomax do not taste very good). Tasting great is one of the most important features of an energy drink for me ... if it doesn't taste good, I am reluctant to drink it. After about 3 hours on the bicycle, I had no desire to drink Gatorade anymore, but with HEED, I still look forward to drinking it after 30 hours and more on the bicycle. I like it cold and I like it hot ... which is more than I can say about all the other sports drinks I've tried.
2. It uses maltodextrin rather than simple sugars, which works well for me. Simple sugars make my mouth go all tingly ... I'm not even a fan of candy.
3. Other sports drinks cause mouth sores ... HEED does not. In fact, I just read their info and one of the ingredients is beneficial for helping promote oral health.
4. HEED has calories ... the way I fill my bottle, I've got 200-300 calories in there. I can do rides 2-3 hours long on HEED alone.
5. HEED has electrolytes which are adequate for most of my rides (although I do need to supplement them on longer, hotter rides).
Now having said all that, I am planning to experiment with a creation of my own sometime in the very near future. I found something interesting in the grocery store which I want to mix with maltodextrin and see how it tastes!
And ... despite the fact that I live on HEED on the bicycle, when I take breaks, I drink other things ... I like variety and I have certain, specific choices I prefer:
1) 100% pure orange juice ... this choice is very refreshing, it isn't too sweet - it's got a bit of a sour/bitter taste to it, it has calories and potassium, and it has Vitamin C.
2) Orange crush ... for some reason I find this choice sits extremely well, and just hits the spot on hot days.
3) Coke or Nestea Iced Tea ... I drink these mainly for the caffeine ... they also help settle my stomach if I'm feeling a little bit upset out there.
4) Coffee or Hot Tea ... I drink these mainly for the caffeine ... and tea helps settle my stomach if I'm feeling a little bit upset out there. But these don't do much to hydrate me ... I usually have to drink a bit of water or something with them.
5) Plain water ... and especially VERY COLD plain water is often a very refreshing, welcome relief after drinking flavored drinks. On hot days, I crave VERY COLD plain water ... although I do realize I need to be taking my electrolyte pills if I'm going to give in to my cravings. But nothing quenches like VERY COLD plain water.
During a long endurance race, my partner had a cooler packed with Coke in ice. It was the first one I've drank in 7 years but it tasted very delicious! I use Cytomax and water to hydrate.
...good info, thanks for the post ericgu!
Hah, this probably won't be a popular opinion, but I like energy drinks. They're carbonated, but usually not so much that it upsets my stomach. Aside from that, water's pretty good. I also like near-beer for the hot days. I'm sure the carbs do some good, somewhere, and like with the Red Bull, it isn't carbonated enough to cause a stomachache.. Wouldn't go in my water bottle though.
Edit: I don't think the energy drinks would be very hydrating, come to think of it. I usually end up having to "go" after less than half an hour after drinking one, and some seem to cause flourescent urine.
When I think of energy drinks I think of Gatorade, Powerade, HEED, etc. ... but none of those are carbonated. What sort of energy drink are you referring to?Originally Posted by ralph12
The diuretic effect is one of the main reasons I usually steer clear of energy drinks on a ride. I like being able to go 6 hours without a potty break.Originally Posted by ralph12
I'm guessing he means Red Bull, etc. The ones that are loaded with caffeine and other stimulants.Originally Posted by Machka
<< no sig at this time >>
The product "Elixir" made by CamelBak in tablet form is a good addition to a waterbottle or hydration bladder. It doesn't have any calories, so it's not an "energy drink" per se, but it does have balanced amounts of electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, and sodium with a pleasant taste. It's not sticky, so it cleans off a bicycle instantly.
its important to differentiate between 'sports drinks' and 'energy drinks'... sports drinks contain electrolytes as well as sugar, may be isotonic, and are specifically created for rehydration / electrolyte replacement / energy replacement during/after sports activities. whereas energy drinks are generally just sugar and caffeine, un-specific, for anyone from office workers to taxi drivers.
In the old days (PS - pre-Shimano) a water bottle was filled half way with coke and the rest of the way with water. It was allowed to stand overnight so it went flat, and then a couple of aspirin were thrown in. I know it sounds incredibly LOW TECH but it works! - Optimator ("Lips that touch water shall never touch mine". W.C.Fields)

Teen Mom's Amber Portwood Headed To The Military?!
May 18, 2012 01:54 PM by Shayla Perry
Amber Portwood's a free woman again! After being put behind bars for the hundredth time for violating the terms of her probation, the Teen Mom star says that she's doing "OK." But is she thinking about trading in her orange jumpsuit for some military fatigues?!
It just wouldn't be right if MTV's Amber Portwood wasn't under some kind of government supervision. So is it really true that the Teen Mom star is planning to join the military now that she's out of the slammer?
After violating the terms of her probation by failing to appear in an Indiana court, the 22-year-old reality star was sent to jail once again. But following her most recent stint behind bars, Amber says that she's keeping busy.
"[I'm] okay," Portwood tells E! News. "Just hustling. I've got a lot on my plate."
According to her brother, Shawn Portwood, part of Amber's "hustle" is trying to work her way into the military, which he says is "her new goal."
"She said she was going to work hard to get her charge reduced," explains Shawn. "She's been doing so well."
What do you think RTVM: Is Amber really going to end up joining the military? Should she, or is it more likely that we'll hear about her being back in jail first? Sound off in the Comments section below. We want to hear from you!

Swallowing Sluts

We no longer link to this site.
To spit or to swallow, that is the question. The answer for the gals at Swallowing Sluts is a big definite swallow.
So far 41 hot amateur ladies have shown off their cum-drinking talents for the camera. SwallowingSluts members have full access to all the hot dick sucking video action. Movies are 10 to 20 minutes long and start with a little chatting with the chicks.
Whether it be out of a champagne glass, an ice cream scooper, a funnel or even a condom, these sluts are made to enjoy every last drop of sperm available. The quality of the videos is good and they are all downloadable in mediocre Windows Media and MPEG formats.
The older scenes look mediocre but the second half of them have improved quality. Each scene also comes with about 50 to 150 pics as well.Something that hasn't improved is the updating. In fact, it has only added one new scene over the last 14 months.
Upon joining Swallowing Sluts you become a member to a V.I.P mega members area: there are 23 exclusive sites (click for review): Facial Humiliation, Sick Insertions, Pregnant Fux, Anal Destruction, Amateur Nest and many more! Unfortunately most of these sites have also stopped updating and so a membership is only worth it, if at all, for a month. There is no need to hang around longer then that.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, November 21. MISSY Franklin, Elizabeth Pelton, David Nolan and Dillon Virva provided the sparks on the first night of competition at the UNLV Invitational, with Franklin posting a 200 IM-50 free double, Pelton and Nolan automatically qualifying for NCAAs and Virva topping the collegiate ranks in the 50 free.
Franklin won the 200 IM with a 1:58.24 to put herself sixth in the national collegiate standings, just behind Cal freshman teammate Celina Li's 1:58.18 from last month's dual with Florida. Franklin appears to be testing her racing options for the championship season, as the first day does not feature any of her top events but could still provide her with a national title opportunity in either the 200 IM, 500 free or 50 free. Franklin tested the waters in the splash-and-dash tonight with a 22.55 to win that event. It's just five tenths off her lifetime best of 22.01 from a sectional meet this past March.
Finishing second and third to Franklin in the 200 IM were Cal's Caroline Piehl with a 2:00.18 and Anna Senko with a 2:00.38. In the 50 free, Franklin led a 1-2-3 sweep with Kaylin Bing finishing second with a 22.63 and Rachael Acker third with a 23.13.
Franklin also took part in the winning 200 free relay, as the Golden Bears just missed the automatic NCAA qualifying time of 1:29.65 with a 1:29.97. Notably, Bing led off the relay with a 22.63, identical to what she would swim later in the individual 50 free. Acker (22.80), Elizabeth Pelton (22.23) and Franklin (22.31) rounded out the relay.
Pelton also shone in the final relay of the night, the 400 medley relay, posting a stunning 51.44 to automatically qualify for the NCAAs in that event. Pelton did not swim the 100 back at last March's NCAAs, opting for the 200 free since Cal had the 100 back covered with Rachel Bootsma. Pelton fell just short of her lifetime best, a 51.26 from last year's Georgia Invite where she first broke the American record in the 200-yard backstroke. Marina Garcia (breast: 1:00.54), Celina Li (53.85) and Franklin (49.19) rounded out Cal's winning relay with a combined time of 3:35.02, which was four tenths slower than the automatic NCAA qualifying time.
Pelton also swam well in her only individual event of the day, winning a close race with Arizona State's Tristin Baxter in the 500 free, posting a 4:42.87 to Baxter's 4:43.88. It's a major lifetime best for Pelton, though her best was 4:50.03 from back in 2009 while representing North Baltimore Aquatics as a high school swimmer. For Baxter, it's just two seconds off her lifetime best. Third place went to Cal's Catherine Breed with a 4:44.97.
Virva came into today's competition with a lifetime best of 19.91 in the 50 free, but crushed that standard with a 19.43 in prelims, followed by a winning time of 19.37 in the final. He also provided his third-fastest time of his life with a 19.53 leadoff leg to help UNLV beat Stanford in the men's 200 free relay, 1:19.06 to 1:19.81. Virva fell just .02 off the automatic NCAA qualifying standard, but managed to put up the two fastest 50 freestyles of the college season, though that could change in the course of the weekend. Placing second to Virva today in the 50 free was David Nolan of Stanford with a 19.72, just two tenths off his lifetime best. Gui Passos of UNLV was third with a 19.96. Like his teammate Virva, Passos posted a major lifetime best with his first swim under 20 seconds, dropping .27 off his personal best.
Nolan scratched the 200 IM final to attempt to win the 50 free, but posted a solid 1:44.42 in prelims for his fastest swim of the season. He's still got about three seconds to reach his personal best of 1:41.21 that he swam in winning the 200 IM at the 2013 NCAAs. In his absence, Stanford's Tom Kremer won the 200 IM final with a 1:46.27, ahead of teammate Max Williamson's 1:46.41 and Giacomo Gremizzi of UNLV, who posted a 1:47.04, just a second off his lifetime best.
Stanford just missed out on automatic qualification in the men's 400 medley relay with a winning time of 3:10.58. Led by a 46.12 from Nolan that makes him the only college swimmer under 47 seconds so far this season, the Cardinal followed up with a 53.44 breaststroke split from Mason Shaw, a 47.35 swim from former national high school record holder Connor Black in butterfly and a 43.67 from Kremer in freestyle.
Stanford's Drew Cosgarea put up a 4:19.63 to win today's 500 freestyle and post the first sub-4:20 swim of the season. Cosgarea is looking to redeem a disappointing last season when he finished 33rd in the 500 free, and is on track to eradicate his lifetime best of 4:17.24 from the 2012 NCAAs. Teammate Danny Thomson held a slight lead over Cosgarea through 350 yards but couldn't get back into pole position, settling for second with a 4:20.80. Stanford took the top four spots, with Justin Buck (4:25.99) and Jimmy Yoder (4:26.14) taking third and fourth.

Olympic swimmer communicates only in quotes
A competitor has arrived at the London Olympics speaking only through the medium of motivational sporting quotes, causing alarm among officials and the assembled press corps.
The male swimmer, who team managers have asked to remain anonymous, was discovered during a routine press conference at the athlete's village. Suspicions were first raised when he was asked by a reporter what the facilities were like for those staying in the village.
'Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence (Vince Lombardi).' was the reply. It was then followed by 'It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret (Jackie Joyner-Kersee).' in answer to a question about the food.
Perhaps most worrying was when he was asked what he thought of his room-mate, the unnamed competitor repled: 'The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking (Mia Hamm).'
Nobody is certain of the cause of the condition. However, games officials have asked for the competitor to be given privacy at this difficult time, particularly in light of his belief that 'mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like muscles of the body (Lynn Jennings).'
Games Lanes opened at London Aquatic Centre
It has been confirmed that three of the ten lanes of the competition pool at the London Aquatic Centre have been designated special Games Lanes.
The lanes are part of a wider Olympic transport plan that came into operation across many parts of London today, including 30 miles of roads in central London. So far the only disruption and delays have occurred away from the Aquatic Centre, with organisers confident they can keep any inconvenience to a minimum.
Much like the special arrangements on London's roads, the Games Lanes in the swimming pool will help to ease the movement of competitors, games organisers, VIPs, corrupt sports administrators, relatives of despotic dictators and other members of the Olympic Family.
Anyone caught swimming in the clearly-marked lanes will be fined £130.
Disappointment Britain 'not like Game of Thrones'
A large number of people arriving in Britain for the 2012 London Olympics are said to be disappointed that the country is not more like the hit TV series Game of Thrones.
The wildly-popular and critically-lauded HBO series is reported to have lead many spectators and competitors alike to expect Britain to be at least broadly similar to the historical-fantasy realm depicted in the show.
'When I got to London I was like "Where are my dragons?"' said one Olympic competitor. 'I was all set to see like sword fighting, kids on horseback and dudes in suits of armour. There was hardly any of that – but I did see a castle that, I swear to God, must have been like over 100 years old and loads of drunk women who wanted to show me their breasts, just like in the show.'
Another fan was more positive, telling The Wobbly Block: 'I landed at Heathrow and there was this massive dark-skinned guy checking my bags. He didn't speak any English so I assumed he must be a Dothraki from across the Narrow Sea, but in fact he was from a tribe called G4S. He didn't notice me bringing my large sword and shield into the country though, so I'm happy.'
Revered historian and pantomime racist David Starkey was quick to clarify the issue. 'Only an imbecile would believe this literary construct to be an accurate representation of Britannia.' he said, in reaction to the reports. 'The only similarities are the prevalence of incest amongst the ruling elite and a head of state having no democratic right to rule, obviously.'
Olympics already proves to be inspiring exercise
The London Olympics have already inspired some Britons to previously unknown levels of exercise as over-weight, wheezing, chronically-unfit professional complainers take to internet message boards, newspaper comment pages and twitter to criticise every single aspect of the 2012 Games.
Many such individuals, whose only previous experiences of exercising had been limited to masturbation and chewing, are now benefiting from an aerobic workout, thanks to the effort involved in producing their endless, ill-conceived, imbecilic diatribes about the once-in-a-generation event.
Specifically, the process of vigorously typing such furious indignation has been observed to result in sweating, shortness of breath, a significant rise in pulse rate and frothing at the mouth. For some people, the benefits of this exercise are so extreme that they can be felt in the elasticated waistband of their mail-order trousers.
Speaking from Benidorm via the Daily Mail website, one such commentator said: 'I think it's an absolute disgrace that my tax would have been spent on these so-called "games". Every right-minded person knows they are only of interest to the kind of do-gooding liberal who doesn't get out of breath when walking up the stairs.'
Other popular words utilised in related comments include 'fury', 'EUSSR' and 'Nu Liebor' – with over 80% describing the unparalleled celebration of global sporting achievement as 'political correctness gone mad'.

Santa's Logistics
Some people have raised questions about how Santa Claus can bring presents to children all over the world on one night. The answer is actually fairly simple. There are three factors that make his Christmas Eve ride possible.
First of all, there are large swaths of Asia and North Africa where Christmas is not celebrated. They have celebrations at other times of the year when presents are exchanged. That cuts a huge swath of land out of his journey.
Secondly, there are several countries where gifts are exchanged on a different day, rather than on Christmas Eve. For example, in several countries children find their presents on St. Nicholas Day, December 6. Some of these countries are Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, Hungary and Slovakia. Orthodox Christians celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 19, so children in Serbia and Montenegro get their presents then.
In Greece, presents are opened on January 1. In Spain and Mexico, presents come on Epiphany, January 6. And in Egypt, Ethiopia, Russia and Serbia they come on January 7, which is when Orthodox and Coptic Christians celebrate Christmas.
That helps Santa by spreading out the time frame for his travels a bit.
Finally, Santa has several very able co-workers to help him deliver presents, sometimes taking on whole countries, and sometimes sharing the load with St. Nick within one country. Santa himself brings gifts to many countries. Of course, the name Santa Claus comes from the Dutch name for St. Nicholas, Sinterklaas. Many countries have some variation on this name that honors a fourth century bishop from Turkey who was known for his philanthropy to the poor. In the Netherlands, Sinterklaas is aided by Zwarte Pieten (Black Peter) who keeps the naughty-nice list. Dutch children leave hay and carrots for Santa's horse (he changes his mode of transportation as he goes, presumably to keep from tiring out the reindeer). Zwarte Pieten chases bad children with a stick.
In Hungary, Santa is known as Mikulás, and he is aided by Jólasveinarnir, or Yuletide Lads who come from Iceland. These helpful lads have names such as Gimpy, Gully Imp, and Sausage Snatcher. They might leave a potato for bad children, or perhaps a note telling them to be good.
In Australia, Santa changes clothes for something more appropriate for the Southern Hemisphere summer. He also rides six white kangaroos.
Santa travels to Canada, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Indonesia, some parts of Germany, Ireland, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovakia, Korea (where he changes to a blue suit), parts of Venezuela, and of course, the United States.
Santa's busiest partner is Father Christmas or Christmas Old Man. He is known as Gaghant Baba in Armenia, Papai Noel in Brazil, Sheng dan lao ren in China, and Baba Noël in Egypt where he climbs through the window. Father Christmas also comes to Finland, France, Denmark, some parts of Germany, Greenland, India, Latvia, Lithuania, Lebanon, Madagascar, Portugal, Romania, parts of Venezuela, and Vietnam. Father Christmas uses a horse and cart in India.
It may seem like Father Christmas has a bigger job, but he has several countries where he leaves fewer gifts.
The Three Wise Men bring gifts to children of Mexico and Spain. In Spain, children leave water for the camels and Cognac for the kings.
Even the Christ Child gets into the act in some countries. He brings gifts to Austria, Costa Rica, parts of Germany, and the Czech Republic, where he rings a little bell before he leaves.
Several of Santa's coworkers cover a very limited territory.
Saint Basil brings gifts in Greece.
La bafana brings gifts to children in Italy. She rides a broomstick and is covered with soot from coming down chimneys. Sometimes in addition to leaving gifts, she sweeps the floor.
Father Frost and his granddaughter visit children in Russia. Father Frost has a magic staff.
Finally, in Basque country (parts of Spain and France), presents are delivered by a magical man named Olentzero, who is overweight, wears a beret and Basque farm clothes and smokes a pipe.
So, now you know how children the world over get their Christmas presents delivered. More information about all of these gift givers can be found here.

With every top British Superbike team changing either bikes or riders for 2009, it was always going to be tricky predicting the outcome of the season opener at Brands Hatch.
But with my vast experience of racing, my inside knowledge and my no-nonsense logic, I felt pretty qualified to forecast what might unfold. For a start I thought it pretty unlikely that the Airwaves GSE team could swap from Ducati to Yamaha, put in zero pre-season testing and be instantly competitive. I also knew that a French former MotoGP star almost certainly couldn't jump on an unproven bike at a tight, quirky English circuit and mix it with the BSB regulars. And on a more positive note, I was confident the lighter, fitter Karl Harris, who had been flying during Brands testing, would probably win his first BSB race on that bank holiday Monday.
Luckily I didn't put down any big money at Ladbrokes. Leon Camier impressed everyone with a victory on the new R1, Sylvain Guintoli headed home leading the championship on the K9 GSX-R and Karl crashed out of race one before working his way backwards in race two. Another two of my great prophecies for that weekend were that, after a successful UK testing programme, Rob McElnea's North West 200 Yamaha team would be fighting for podium positions, and that Hydrex Honda's Stuart Easton wouldn't be anywhere near the podium. Needless to say I was completely wrong again on both counts. Rob's riders ended up having too much midrange power, making traction difficult on corner exits, while my fellow countryman Mr Easton finished a fine third and fourth. We Scot's used to win BSB titles with ease so I'm more than happy Stuart proved me wrong – his BSB podium at Brands was the first for a Scottish rider in seven years.
Other things I got quite wrong included the MSS Colchester Kawasakis of Julian de Costa and Simon Andrews. They actually turned out to be very competitive. And double Japanese champion Atsushi Watanabe didn't return from Japan ready to carry on where Riyuichi Kyonari left off in 2007. I hope poor old Atsushi can get going – it seems such a waste of a proven, race-winning bike.
I obviously won't be doing any more BSB analysis in the near future but being dumb and getting it completely wrong from time to time only makes racing more interesting. Well, for me at least.
Just before they were taken over by Piaggio, I visited the Aprilia factory and you couldn't wish to meet a more friendly, helpful bunch of people, top management included.
At the time I was told of exciting future models set to be put into production just as soon as the takeover was complete. Four years down the road the public are now gagging to touch, see and ride these bikes, but this isn't happening and I'm worried people will take their hard-earned cash elsewhere.
Even a glimpse of the superb new RSV4 at the NEC bike show would have helped, but Aprilia UK management chose not to exhibit, claiming typical Aprilia customers don't go there. So just where does the typical Aprilia customer go in December? I certainly didn't see any t-shirts bearing the lion's head logo at the Good Food show. I've owned two Aprilia RS125s – one race bike, one road bike – for over two years now and I love them. I see them most days in my garage and never get bored checking them out. At the end of the day bikers simply love to see bikes! I'm not sure who's even looking after Aprilia in the UK now but, if anyone is listening out there, please get your act together.

D-WHY? We're gonna tell you. (Ba-dum ching.) Known to his mom as David Morris, this consummate rapper and agile wordsmith is known to his fans as D-WHY. And by "fans" we actually mean really famous people people with great taste in music like Diggy Simmons, Hit-Boy, T-Minus, Boi-1da, Dot Da Genius and Kane Beatz who have all shown their support for the up-and-coming rapper.
Even if D-WHY didn't have a close-knit circle of celeb pals, his music is badass enough for us to take note on our own. Case in point: D whipped Wiz Khalifa's "Black & Yellow" into a super dope remix and video, "Devil Horns To All." D-WHY rhymes over Wiz's classic beat and warns, "Devil horns to all my haters…/Get your face bit off by gators." And while it may not seem like D could arrange a gator beatdown (uhh, he's rapping in a beige knit sweater), something tells us to be wary.
D-WHY's also been garnering buzz via his take on Childish Gambino's track "Freaks & Geeks." In "Shooter McGavin" D-WHY goes in hard over the "Freaks & Geeks" beat, and even gets a little superfast Busta Rhymes on our assess as he proclaims: "I'm Jay-Z/Meets J. Christ/Meets Jay Leno/Meets J.Crew." (Works for me — I'd totally date that dude.)
But remixes aren't his only bag. D-WHY can also bust out originals and freestyles, many of which will appear on his forthcoming "Don't Flatter Yourself" mixtape, out in early 2012. Oh, and he's also starting a lifestyle blog that will comment on his travels, career and unique sense of style. Jack-of-all-trades, and my future husband (if he's down for that). Score.
+ Listen to D-WHY.

Over the past few years, the microfinance industry has experienced rapid changes due to the effects of turmoil in financial markets and has received increased scrutiny as a result of the business practices of some microfinance institutions (MFIs). Now more than ever, it is important for the sector to have access to transparent, reliable, and relevant microfinance data and analysis.
With the microfinance industry evolving at a rapid pace, over the past several years the criteria by which we evaluate the performance of microfinance institutions has changed. Now more than ever it is important to not only look at the growth or financial sustainability of an MFI; but their commitment to transparency and accountability in their efforts to achieve their social ends as well.
Enhancing Access to Financial Services (NRB-EAFS)" project – aimed at strengthening the capacity of the Nepalese microfinance sector – has recently registered all seventeen of its partner MFIs on MIX Market, thanks to the efforts of the Centre for Microfinance (CMF), MIX's in-country data collection partner. Both technology and transparency remain significant challenges to MFIs in Nepal, and the creation of these new profiles represents a major step in addressing such issues.
January 3, 2012 - This past year has been one of the most challenging on record for the microfinance industry. As the sector dealt with the effects of a global financial crisis, publicity around questionable practices in certain markets, and rising awareness of the risks of over-indebtedness, the need for MIX's objective, reliable, and comprehensive data and analysis became even more apparent.
We are excited to announce that MIX, in collaboration with Pervasive Software, has been awarded the 2011 Information Management Magazine Innovative Solution Award in the 'General Achievement' category! This award recognizes MIX's use of Pervasive Data Integrator™ running on Pervasive DataCloud®.
Join us December 5 through 7 for an online discussion of MIX's recent data collection efforts and analysis of financial inclusion in Africa on the SEEP blog. This is your chance to discuss African financial inclusion with MIX's expert analysts, data contributors and your colleagues in the industry!
October, 12, 2011— Today, Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) announced the launch of MIX Silver—a value-added, fee-based service for business users that furthers MIX's mission of promoting financial inclusion and fostering transparency in the microfinance sector. Developed in response to intensive market research, these new solutions address users' need for timely data and deeper microfinance insight.
Washington, D.C., September 19, 2011 – MIX (Microfinance Information Exchange), today launched the Africa Map of Financial Inclusion for the Poor (africa.mixmarket.org) to help practitioners and policymakers better understand access to finance in Africa. This interactive tool is part of a $2 million, 3-year partnership with The MasterCard Foundation to enhance core functions of the MIX Market web platform, and improve visibility and access to financial inclusion information in Africa.
MIX is excited to announce that MIX Market has just reached 2,000 reporting MFIs! MIX Market is the largest database of microfinance information featuring data from MFIs in 110 countries that represent over 92 million borrowers. Of those MFIs that report to MIX, more than 440 MFIs have submitted their social performance information, which is now displayed directly alongside the financial information on each institutions profile. MIX Market's database also features more than 300 profiles with interim data in addition to annual performance information.
As the microfinance industry evolves, so too does its understanding of its own goals and practices. Over the past few years, the industry has come to recognize that sound financial performance is not sufficient to ensure the achievement of microfinance's social objectives. Social performance management — the process of ensuring that an MFI acts in a socially responsible manner — has emerged as a crucial factor in addressing this issue.

Students from all over the country are sharpening their pencils for the upcoming Advanced Placement Examination Test.
Lauren Howell is one hundreds of students who've spent the year taking college level courses at Leon High School.
"AP classes are advanced placement. It's basically automatic college credit if you pass the test. A three or above counts at any state university which is awesome, its free college," she says.
Florida is one of the few states where AP tests are given for free. Other states pay up to $80 per student. AP Psychology Teacher Dr. Linda Teague says students should take advantage of this free offer.
"It's higher level thinking that they are having to do, it's a college level course, and it's just a real challenge," says Dr. Teague.
It's a challenge that may not be for everyone. Teachers say these students have to be motivated and self-disciplined, and in the end the hard work will pay off.
If you're up for the "ultimate test," Dr. Teague recommends eating a good breakfast and getting some exercise before the exam. The reward for students passing the AP test is possibly entering college as a sophomore, depending on how many classes they take.

Its a phrase that's thrown around quite a bit during the late summer and fall months..."Indian Summer". It seems like any warm spell that we get late in the year is called an Indian Summer, but there is actually a definition for the phrase.
Indian Summer is defined as a spell of warm weather following the first frost of the season.
So this recent warm spell is certainly an Indian Summer.
Nearly all of eastern Carolina has seen a killing frost over the last week or so, and now temperatures through Wednesday are blasting into the 70s. So officially, YES, this is the Indian Summer.
Whatever you want to call it, the weather is going to be very mild through Wednesday with temperatures reaching into the middle to upper 70s. Warm weather lovers - enjoy it because it is not going to last. By the end of the week high temperatures will fall back to the 50s and overnight lows turn frosty as we dip into the 30s.
See you on TV...

From MTG Salvation Wiki
Agyrem is the ghost city of Ravnica, where the ghosts of those who died linger, instead of passing on. The laws of the broken Guildpact remain effective here.
The overlay of Agyrem remains on Ravnica until the Mending, which causes it to become distinct and removed from Ravnica—a kind of "metaplane."
Little is known about Agyrem now; its whereabouts in the Multiverse are a mystery.

What is the best way an android app can fetch views and query the database from a Django based site?
I am developing a website using Django framework. The web/mobile service comes with a Android app that authenticates the user, fetchs user-related authorized data, map locations from database and views from the website and displays them on the android device.
So far I have been contemplating to use XML-RPC to do this but I am not sure if this is the best solution.
For XML-RPC client, I am using the following library: http://code.google.com/p/android-xmlrpc/
An for the server I am using this python code: https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/XML-RPC
I would like to know if there's a better or standard solution for doing this.

We didn't really ever expect it to come to this.
Certainly not back in the bleak midwinter when Arsenal and Manchester City - cursed with the toughest of draws against Bayern Munich and Barcelona respectively - couldn't believe that rivals United had somehow popped Olympiakos out of the velvet bag.
But it came to pass, and in Piraeus two weeks ago Manchester United were shocked by a strong and punchy performance from the Greek champions, who dominated from the kick-off until the final whistle.
Since then, David Moyes has lurched from crisis to catastrophe, culminating in Sunday's hammering by Liverpool and questions being asked ever-louder about his suitability for the job.
So stick with us this afternoon and we'll hear what he's got to say for himself.... live.
Just in case you forgot how bad Manchester United were in the first leg in Greece last month, here's what Miguel Delaney wrote at the time.
"Ultimately, the absolute first task of any manager is to get a reaction out of his squad. That is not happening. Rather than reacting, United are regressing," was what he said.
And it's not like things have got better since then.
We asked you yesterday who should take over at Old Trafford, should David Moyes get the chop and a certain bespectacled German hispter-favourite romped home with 61% of the vote. See who else was on the shortlist here.
Ready and waiting now for Mr Moyes, with a little Greek media corps eagerly tucked away inside the Carrington press room.
This week has been torrid for the former Everton boss but turning round that two-goal deficit will go a long way to help his cause.
It just remains to be seen how many questions will be about that game, and how many about the Liverpool defeat and his future.
Helpful stat for Man United: Olympiakos have never won a game in England.
David Moyes and Patrice Evra are in the room.
Moyes first: "It's always a disappointment to lose [to Liverpool].
"We will try to turn this round. I've looked into it and Man United have only done it twice, I think the last time was against Barcelona in 1984!"
More from Moyes:
"I see the players every day, I get the chance to work with them every day.
"I've got belief in the players, I've seen their quality.
"They haven't always had the chance to show it but they know they can play better."
Someone has asked David Moyes about his future:
"My future has not changed one bit. We've not had the season I've hoped but... we've got a lot of belief and we're going to make it show.
He also says he knows the direction the club must go in and thanks the fans for their amazing support.
"The support inside Old Trafford has been phenomenal and the players will tell you it's the first thing I mentioned to them the other day, that we need to give something back to them."
"The biggest assurance is that they let me get on with the job. We've not even talked about it.
"We're making big plans for years going forward, that's why they gave me a six-year contract."
I think that comes under the 'bullish' category from Moyes there.
Now it's time for some Evra:
"Everyone wants to fight for this club. Everyone loves this club...
"I'm not going to tell you we are going to qualify but I can tell you that we will all fight."
Not overly convincing there, Patrice.
Back to David Moyes:
"The results at Old Trafford have been disappointing but it's not for the want of trying.
"I think we've had the chances but maybe not taken them.
"I'm still hopeful it will change before the end of the season, hopefully starting tomorrow night."
Still with David Moyes here:
"The fans have seen some defeats here that they wouldn't have expected and they've stuck with the team... this club is the biggest in the world and it might not feel like it today but it will rise again."
He seemed very confident, not to mention defiant, facing the press there.
We've got the full news story and analysis coming up so stick with us...
Patrice Evra's future remains in doubt:
Evra re his contract: "It's not a good day to talk about my future. The important thing is Man Utd's future, not mine"— Oliver Kay (@OliverKayTimes) March 18, 2014
Way to quieten speculation, Pat.
And some more on the support David Moyes has been receiving:
Moyes on SAF: "He's been very supportive, as has David Gill, Ed Woodward, the board.."— Dan Roan (@danroan) March 18, 2014
Good news for #FreeShinji fans:
The Manchester United manager says Shinji Kagawa "will definitely be involved at some point tomorrow".
A bit of pace and verve in that pedestrian midfield won't go amiss.
I wrote this on United's need for speed this weekend.
Fair to say some Manchester United fans remain unconvinced:
United "Will rise again" say Moyes? The club wasn't even on the floor a year ago, let alone in need of resurrection.— Andy Green (@andersred) March 18, 2014
And it's hard to argue...
And they've finished. So there were lots of encouraging words from Moyes there but they seemed limp and devoid of conviction.
Sentiments like "we'll try" aren't usually good enough for a club like Man United. It should be "we'll win".
Looks like I'm not the only person that thinks that:
Again, not hugely inspiring words from Moyes. A couple of nice lines, but too often no real conviction to what he says.— Daniel Taylor (@DTguardian) March 18, 2014
Our friends at the MEN are busy trying to make David Moyes feel a little better.
This makes his press conference sound far more inspiring than it was...
Before we call it a day, here's a quick recap on David Moyes' claim that he doesn't fear for his future head of tomorrow night's clash with Olympiakos.
The Red Devils boss has also confirmed that Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans won't feature in the second leg at Old Trafford.
And finally, let's hope that Moyes hasn't seen this sign on his way home, as it would appear that the Highways Agency don't rate his sides' chances tomorrow night.
