Y Lyncis
For more information visit: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001PASP..113..983P
Y Lyncis is an interesting semiregular of the SRc (supergiant) subclass with an obvious long secondary period. While it has a primary pulsation period just over 100 days, there's a longer (and larger) periodicity over 1000 days. Such behavior is common among this class of semiregulars, including the most prominent of the SRc stars, alpha Ori (Betelgeuse).
Y Lyn is bright enough for binoculars, and is a good target for northern hemisphere observers.

Noni Banana Fruit Leather is made with the same care as the standard Noni Fruit Leather. Because the noni fruit lacks many of the sweet sugars found in other fruits, some people are turned off by the taste. For this reason, we added banana to the recipe to balance out any unpleasant flavors people encounter when eating our product. In this way, you lose none of the health benefits tied to the noni fruit, and you can enjoy eating the product even more with the flavor of banana.
The recent application of modern science has revealed even more uses for the noni fruit, which is healthy for your body inside and out. Whether in the form of our Noni Banana Fruit Leather or Lavender Noni Lotion, the noni fruit will surprise you with all that it has to offer.
Noni Banana Fruit Leather Can:
- Help combat common infections
- Reduce stress levels
- Decrease the body's inflammatory response in arthritis
Noni fruit is believed to be so effective because of its antioxidant abilities. In fact, Noni fruit is one of the world's richest sources of the potent phytochemical known as damnacanthal. This compound is widely known for its ability to kill parasites, such as those responsible for malaria.
What's more, the antioxidants in Noni fruit help revitalize the body and eliminate free radicals.
Other functions of the Noni fruit include boosting the immune system, relieving pain and inflammation, as well as restoring bodily organs to their normal state. This means it can help with everything from digestive problems and hormonal imbalances to cardiovascular trouble and nervous conditions.
Can Noni Fruit Help You?
Noni helps to help maintain and support healthy:
- Cardiovascular Systems

Eating NoniBanana Fruit Leather

If you have a particularly severe condition that you are trying to treat with noni fruit, you might want to eat between two and four portions of the NoniBanana Fruit Leather to speed your recovery time.
Other Ways to Consume NoniBanana Fruit Leather:
- Roll up piece of Noni Fruit Leather and swallow whole
- Mix with warm tea and stir with a spoon before drinking
- Add it to your favorite home-made smoothie flavor

Remember when I didn't know what Noni was? Well I do now and I LOVE the stuff. Tell Steve I used it on a knee I twisted or something. I walked like Captain Ahab all day. I put Noni on when I got home from work, before bed and in the morning and my knee was all better the next day! Amazing stuff. I don't get how it works but it works. I'm using it on my feet which hurt ALL the time, my face, hands. It's great. I gave some fruit leather to my pretty puppy, Jacoby for her upset tummy....all better! She likes it too! Yes, you may share my message if you wish. I love this stuff! I've been putting on a mole under my eye that everyone thinks is a mascara smudge to see if it gets lighter. In the meantime the wrinkles under my eyes sure have gotten lighter! Did I mention this one?...I had something going on in my foot. It feels like a knot or something. It makes walking difficult and causes a callous. I've had this thing for 2 years (no health insurance so I don't consult Dr's for stuff like this.) After a week or so of putting Noni on the top and bottom of my foot every morning the pain is gone, the knot diminished and I can walk again! Anyway, all the best. Happy growing!

I have purchased this a few times at the ubiquitous Super Supplement stores in the Puget Sound. It is a great product. At this very moment I am using the lotion for a burn, it has the interesting attribute of being able to be licked off ones fingers after application.

Incentives for Ukraine
As Olympic athletes inspired the world last week with performances at Sochi, something even more inspirational unfolded about 650 miles away, in Kiev.
Thousands of pro-democracy protesters stood their ground in the Ukrainian capital against the security forces of a corrupt regime. Though the long-term fate of Ukraine is far from certain, there now is no doubt that democracy has a place at the table.
A new parliamentary majority issued an arrest warrant for President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to his native Crimea - a pro-Russian enclave on the Black Sea. It also released from prison Yulia Tymoshenko, who had been jailed for years on sham charges.
Mr. Yanukovych had rejected fuller economic, cultural, diplomatic and democratic ties with the European Union, which had been favored by a significant majority of Ukrainians, after promising to honor their wishes. Instead, he embraced Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to restore Ukraine as a Russian satellite state.
With Mr. Yanukovych on the run and Ms. Tymoshenko a divisive figure, it is uncertain how Ukraine will fill its leadership void.
There should be no void from the West, however. The United States and the European Union should work in concert to provide Ukrainian democrats with the financial and technical support that they need to stabilize their hard-won triumph and to secure Ukraine's future as a democratic nation.

Research: The 3 social media secrets of B2B buyers
Sep 12th
By John Bottom, {grow} Community Member
The newly-released 2013 Buyersphere Report is a fascinating study of the business marketing world. But it is a survey with a twist because it doesn't simply canvas marketer's opinions — it also asks 500 European B2B procurement professionals about what they actually did while considering a real, major purchase over the last 12 months.
The 2013 results provide a direct and frank overview of factors such as social media usage, information gathering techniques and general buyer behavior … and more interestingly, it reveals a few unexpected secrets!
I've outlined a few of these 'guilty secrets' below, along with my explanation of why I think they happened and what they mean.
B2B buyers: Social media curmudgeons?
The findings revealed an interesting polarization in terms of social media usage. Half of B2B buyers are distributed normally in terms of their use of social media: some more, some less enthusiastic about its value.
47% of buyers, however, do not claim to use it at all:
When invited to offer advice to a colleague considering using social media to support the buying process, a third said "don't do it."
Embedded within this statistic is a warning to brands to be selective and careful – not so much about their use of social media, but their emphasis on it. These are very different points.
There are clearly a number of buyers out there who don't use social media. That is their choice – and bear in mind they are probably not guided by aversion to change, but by the usefulness of social media in their particular B2B niche. But, because they choose not to go on social media, they will probably never be impressed by the wonderful things your brand is doing on social media. Your thoughtful Facebook content and personable Twitter strategies will blossom without them, thank you very much, since you will only be showing that to people who care (to a greater or lesser extent, as shown by the normal curve). However, as soon as we start trying to divert the other half onto social media platforms against their will, we will have a problem.
A "share this on social media" call to action might be just about acceptable. But talk too much in print or on your website about the fun and games you are delivering exclusively on Facebook, and you may be inviting an antipathy that will ultimately dent sales. I can hear the anti-social media gang now. Given the choice of a supplier that talks my language, or the one that is constantly bleating on about how I should like them on Facebook, I know which one I would choose. Now, then, where's my pipe and slippers? I'm just off to read my newspaper in peace.
Buyers are less rational than they believe
We know that there are emotional and rational reasons for a purchase. But this point was highlighted when we asked the question "Why did you set out to make the purchase in the first place?"
The idea was to find out what the initial driver was, so that marketers might be better placed to understand how to empathize with the buyer during the process. We offered a number of reasons for deciding to invest a large amount of money, ranging from "increased productivity" to "business expansion." But we also threw in the option "because it was the kind of thing we should have." A fairly arbitrary, emotional reason like this surely has no place in boardroom. Surely no hard-nosed business person would ever invest money on this premise – more to the point, surely they wouldn't admit it.
But they did.
It was in fact the fifth most popular reason for starting the buying process. More important than "keeping up with competitors," it had the same mean score among respondents as "the need to cut costs."
We might ask why. Is it that reasons do not always need to be articulated in rational terms? There is undoubtedly a material benefit to be gained from this emotionally-inspired decision, even though those responsible for setting the wheels in motion cannot explain it more explicitly. For me, however, I believe there is a further conclusion to draw, which is the idea of prestige.
The product or service in question may be "the kind of thing they should have" because it is known to deliver "the kind of benefit that they should be receiving". But I think it also follows that the people who ticked this box would be more likely to deal with "the kind of supplier they should be working with". It is another pointer to the nebulous but immensely powerful effect of brand awareness. It is the business equivalent of driving a Rolls Royce or taking photos with a Hasselblad. And it applies to the big ticket items. Keep that strategic brand investment going, dear marketers. It's not all about short-term sales.
Don't be dazzled by video marketing
If you believe certain people out there, video is the most powerful marketing tool on the planet. Prospects love to see videos on our websites. They show the personal side of the brand. They showcase our in-house expertise. They are rich media, and everyone loves shiny, rich media, right?
Not necessarily. We get a more realistic picture of the influence and popularity of video as a format is we compare it to the format of the slide deck. We know those clunky old Powerpoint files don't look as slick, but the Buyersphere Report shows that buyers are TWICE as likely to use presentation decks as they are a video.
21% of buyers downloaded a presentation deck to support in their information gathering. But only half that number watched a video.
Yes – it seems incredible to me too but don't forget we actually asked 500 B2B buyers what they did. These are their answers. Can't argue with the truth – all we can do is to try and explain what it means.
For me, a key difference between slide deck and video is one of control. You control the speed, therefore you control the time it takes to consume that information. Buyers are busy people but, more importantly, they are impatient people. If presented with a ten-minute video (especially when the star of the video is unknown) a buyer is unlikely to invest the time. It's all or nothing. You can't skim-read a video. But because you CAN do that with a presentation deck – with the added bonus of then being able to adapt and re-present it as your own – I suspect this is one of the reasons behind this finding.
The advice is not, obviously, to cut the video budget and release every piece of content in PowerPoint. But just to be aware of the shortcomings of video which, I suspect, have contributed to this statistic, and to re-consider your content program accordingly.
Unearth your own guilty secrets
Of course these are snapshots and should be taken in the context of the wider survey – which is available here for anyone who wants to see the whole report. But can you find more anomalies? Or do you have other explanations for the findings? And what do you think we should do as marketers in order to accommodate these idiosyncrasies?

One thousand posts. No navel gazing.
Feb 12th
This is my 1,000th post on {grow}.
So I wondered … what should I do to commemorate this? Should I give away presents like Oprah? Should I honor my community in some way? Should I just ignore it and carry on?
I asked some of my friends on Facebook and the general consensus was that they wanted me to write a reflective piece on what I have learned, my expectations when I wrote post number one, and the challenges of success.
I started answering these questions a dozen times but it just seemed like a bunch of self-centered navel gazing so I quit. Maybe I'll get to these subjects another time but I think the focus today needs to be placed on the {grow} community. You see, it takes a lot of work to create that many blog posts, but it would not be successful without you.
In my brief period of {grow} nostalgia (about an hour!), I looked down the list of subscribers and wanted to find the people who have subscribed to my blog for the longest period of time. Who was here first? Who has stuck with me the longest?
This was a revealing exercise and a lesson in building a blog community. The people who were there at the beginning are still there today. In fact. we're all good friends! We were "baby bloggers" together and went out of our way to support each other when the rest of the world did not seem to be listening.
I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate 1,000 blog posts by honoring the people who encouraged me and supported me from the very beginning. Here are the original 10 {grow} readers, and here are their stories. And at the end … yes … I will give away some prizes : )
John Bottom — John is a director at the Base One Marketing Agency in London. When I was just starting out, he was already a big deal with a huge, lively following and wonderfully insightful blog posts. I clung to John as an example of how I needed to operate on the social web — in a caring, classy, and responsive way. He was the first social media celebrity to begin tweeting my blog posts and I am forever grateful for that. I had the chance to meet John in London in 2012, which was quite a thrill.
Jayme Soulati — Jayme is a PR and communications dynamo from Ohio and one of my first Twitter friends. I will take credit for being the one to beg Jayme to begin her blog and once she started she found her great love. I remember her telling me that blogging was now the favorite part of her job. She stood by me in the early days and I had tears in my eyes when I met her for the first time at Social Slam in 2010. In fact, the day before the event a speaker cancelled and she graciously filled in!
Jenn Whinnem — Jenn is a passionate young woman and her firey posts caught my attention back in 2009. We collaborated on a couple of projects and she taught me a lesson that resulted in one of the the most humbling and emotional blog posts I've ever written: "Social Media and the Big Conversation Fail." She has been a wonderful supporter and has contributed many amazing comments to the community!
Jon Buscall — An intellect with the heart of an artist, Jon and I are social media soul mates. We have similar backgrounds and hold many of the same values when it comes to teaching and working on the web. I think he holds the record for the most guest posts on {grow} (aside from the paid regular bloggers). When I visited Stockholm, I spent a cafe day with Jon. And that, my friends is the best part of social media.
Kristen Daukas – One of the most fun and big-hearted professionals I know. Mom, entrepreneur, ass-kicker. We have collaborated in a number of ways but the most fun was speaking at her awesome Converge South conference in North Carolina. It was one of my very first keynote speeches. If you look really closely, Kristen's picture is in the Tao of Twitter.
Steve Dodd – Nobody has commented more often that Steve. He has been the rock of this community since day one. I really think he was the first one to see the potential of what was happening on {grow} and I am so indebted to him for his continuous encouragement. He is the only person among "the originals" I have not met, but not for lack of trying!
Amy Howell – When I started exploring Twitter, it was hard to miss Amy since most tweets ended with !!!!!!! This became known as the Exclamy style of tweeting. She has been a tireless and and passionate supporter of the blog … and really everything I do. Amy has been a trusted adviser and friend from the beginning. She is a super-connector who has been featured in two of my books, and introduced me to so many wonderful colleagues like Anne Gallaher, Glen Gilmore, and Kent Huffman. And she is going to be the emcee for Social Slam this year!
Billy Mitchell – A few years ago, Billy had a strange strategy for getting attention. His avatar featured him posing with this huge fish. He kept popping up everywhere and you couldn't help but notice this guy with the fish. We started connecting over Twitter and the blog and soon became close friends. We have collaborated on many projects and his ability to spin a tale and the fact that he understands my jokes makes him my favorite business partner. His B2B Agency MLT Creative is simply an inspiration.
Kimmo Linkama – How cool is it that, through Twitter, I have a great friend in Estonia? Kimmo Linkama is the first person I ever interviewed on {grow} and the only person I have interviewed twice, primarily because he has a such a musical name. Estonia is an awesome place with a progressive economy and Kimmo is leading the B2B marketing charge in the region. In this photo, I am visiting with Kimmo in Estonia's capital of Talinn.
Michelle Chmielewski — Of all the people I have met, the story of how I connected with Michelle is probably my favorite, and a highlight of the The Tao of Twitter and many of my classes. I recognized Michelle's simply brilliant talent when she was a grad student and she has gone on to be a bright star on the European marketing scene. Some of her videos have had more than a million YouTube views. I know talent when I see it! I met Michelle in real life in Paris in 2011 and we continue to support each other whenever we can.
Here's the lesson threaded through all these little stories. Many beginning bloggers think they will hit it big by getting noticed by an A-Lister. They long for that one tweet of a blog post that will propel them to the big time. It does not work like that, and in fact there are no shortcuts to social media success.
Don't wait for lightning to strike. Build your own tribe. Find your own little group of people who love you for who you are, support each other, and build from there. It's hard to say how big my tribe is today but it all started with these 10 people. And no matter what happens to me or the blog, I know those folks — and now dozens of others I have met along the way — will still be my friends. Perhaps this is the year you and I will meet, too!
Thank you, thank you, thank you one and all for reading my blog.
Now, on to the prizes!
I would like to give everyone a chance to celebrate and participate in this 1,000 post milestone, so I'm giving away:
- Five copies of Return On Influence (one copy x five winners)
- Five copies of The Tao of Twitter (one copy x five winners)
- Five copies of Born to Blog (a new book I have not even announced yet!)
- A chance to write your own guest post on {grow}.
- A free one-hour phone consulting session on any marketing topic of your choice (or we can just hang out!)
- Five free subscriptions to my social media tutorial video series "Social Media from Scratch."
- Five free tickets to Social Slam (America's finest social media conference April 5 in Knoxville – one ticket x five winners)
Here's how the drawing works. Send me ONE email at info at businessesGROW.com. Include the ONE prize you want to try to win in the subject line and your physical mailing address in the body of the email. At the end of February, I will have an independent CPA randomly select from the submissions and award the prizes to the winners. There will be a lot of submissions so I can't let everybody know if you lose, but I will let you know March 01, 2012 if you win.
The train is leaving the station again. Next stop … 2,000 posts!

Local Organization is One of Eleven Nonprofits Competing for Grand Prize in Aprons in Action Contest; March Program Completes $1 Million Campaign to Support U.S. Nonprofits
(SEATTLE) March 1, 2012 � Northwest Hospital & Medical Center, the August 2011 winner of $25,000 from The Home Depot in The Home Depot Foundation's year-long Facebook voting program called Aprons in Action, will compete against 10 other monthly winners for $250,000 in the final round of the contest. Voting begins March 1 and runs through March 31 at http://www.facebook.com/homedepotfoundation. The organization with the most votes at the end of the month will win the $250,000 grand prize. Organizations with the second and third most votes will receive $150,000 and $100,000 from The Home Depot Foundation, respectively.
During the first phase of the Aprons in Action Contest, which began last April, The Home Depot Foundation's Facebook fans helped 11 nonprofit organizations, including Northwest Hospital, win $25,000 each to better their communities. In the Grand Prize round of the competition, Northwest Hospital is competing against these 10 other monthly winners from across the country:
"Winning $25,000 from The Home Depot Foundation during the first round of Aprons in Action was such an honor, and we are so thankful for the recognition," said Bill Schneider, Northwest Hospital CEO. "If we actually win the $250,000 grand prize from The Home Depot Foundation in this next round of the contest, it will allow us to continue offering critical health education and training programs to our community, staff and patients."
Over the past couple of years, Northwest Hospital and Team Depot volunteers have worked together on several projects across the hospital campus, including a renovation of the model "house" in the hospital's Easy Street medical rehabilitation environment. Winning $25,000 from The Home Depot Foundation in August 2011 helped Northwest Hospital begin making important upgrades and improvements to the hospital's childcare center.
In addition to creating an education center where community members can take free classes, the hospital has worked in close partnership with unions such as SEIU to secure educational funding grants to support and foster the development of future caregivers.
"The funding for these education programs is no longer available, which makes the possibility of the $250,000 grand prize from the Home Depot Foundation so incredibly important," said Schneider. "We encourage everyone to go to Facebook and vote for us!"
Across the country, The Home Depot Associates give back to their communities by volunteering their time and talents with local nonprofit organizations, like Northwest Hospital. The Aprons in Action Program recognizes these successful partnerships and gives each of the featured nonprofits the opportunity to do additional work with Team Depot volunteers to better their communities.
"Aprons in Action is our $1 million effort to support the most active and engaged nonprofit organizations across the country," said Kelly Caffarelli, president of The Home Depot Foundation. "Through Aprons in Action, we have already distributed $500,000 to 44 deserving organizations from across the nationwide Team Depot network, allowing them to continue their great work serving our communities."
How to VoteVoting runs from March 1 at 9 a.m. ET through March 31 at 12 p.m. ET. Aprons in Action is on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/homedepotfoundation.
The final percentages of votes for each nonprofit will be posted on The Home Depot and The Home Depot Foundation's Facebook pages.For more information and to view the program rules, visit The Home Depot on Facebook or go to http://www.facebook.com/homedepotfoundation.

Plum clafoutis
Makes 4-6 servings; shown above
A clafoutis is rather like a baked custardy pancake studded with fresh fruit. Serve warm or cold, topped with unsweetened whipped cream.
1⁄3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
1⁄4 tsp. (1 mL) fresh nutmeg, grated (or ground nutmeg)
1-11⁄2 lb. (500-750 g) ripe purple plums, halved, stones removed
3 large eggs
1⁄3 cup (75 mL) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 mL) table cream
1 cup (250 mL) milk
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp. (45 mL) granulated sugar
For garnish: icing sugar
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter a 10-in. (25-cm) diameter baking dish. Sprinkle sugar over the bottom, followed by nutmeg. Arrange plums, cut side down, in dish.
In a bowl, using an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk, blend eggs with flour, cream, milk and salt. Beat for a few minutes, adding 3 tbsp. (45 mL) sugar toward the end. Continue beating for about 5 minutes.
Pour mixture over plums. Transfer dish to oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until slightly puffed up and golden. Transfer to a rack to cool.
Preheat oven broiler. Place cooled clafoutis on a baking sheet; sprinkle top evenly and generously with icing sugar. Place beneath broiler, about 1 in. (2.5 cm) from heat and broil for just 1 minute, until sugar is caramelized; watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Transfer to a rack to cool.

The demolition segment is focused around the need for Customers to carry out the demolishing & dismantling of a wide variety of structures including buildings and factories. They separate the debris for reclamation on site and for transportation to recycling or landfill stations. Following demolition there is often a need for site remediation in preparation for future development. For this reason the provision of specialized equipment for a wide variety of applications is necessary. The demolition industry has been transformed in recent years and is continuing to evolve rapidly.
Demolition sites are nothing like the battle zones of yesterday. Safety, cleanliness and reduced noise are all features of the modern demolition site. Construction Equipment to match or exceed customer and legal requirements allow efficient and profitable jobs to be undertaken.

text: I have snapped 3 spokes in the last 2 weeks, and I am absolutely fed up. I'm riding on the stock rims that came with my Clockwork, and I'd venture to say that half of the spokes on the rear wheel have been replaced in the 1.5 years that I've had it. My LBS is reliable, and I can trust that they are truing up my wheels properly. I'm 6'2 240, and I'm beginning to think that I'm just too much dude for these stock rims. Is this likely the case? If so, does anyone have any recommendations for new rims that can carry me without snapping a spoke every week (that aren't deep v's)?

1 killed in tanker truck fire on I-65 in Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A tanker truck explosion and fire in Middle Tennessee killed one person early Friday, and authorities said the southbound lanes of Interstate 65 could be closed until Monday afternoon.
Tennessee Department of Transportation spokeswoman B.J. Doughty said the back end of a trailer carrying unleaded gasoline hit a vertical column supporting a bridge on Peytonsville Road in Franklin about 3:40 a.m.
"Somehow the tanker part got sideways and it hit the bridge with such force that it split in two," she said. "A piece traveled down the road and exploded."
Doughty said the Transportation Department was constructing a new bridge and interchange at the crash site. The southbound sides of both the old and new bridges will have to be demolished before the interstate can fully reopen. She said transportation officials hope the work will be complete before rush hour Monday afternoon. In the meantime, motorists will have to exit the interstate, then get back on it.
Two northbound lanes reopened Friday afternoon, but the road over the interstate will be closed for months, Doughty said. On Friday, parallel arteries were "all very, very congested," she said.
Doughty said the southbound lanes will remain closed and the northbound lanes will shut down at 6 p.m. Friday with traffic routed on ramps.
Doughty said the state will work all weekend to take down the old bridge.
"The goal is to have the interstate back open ... by 6 a.m. Monday and southbound by no later than 2 p.m. Monday," Doughty said.
Franklin Police have not yet publicly identified the driver who was killed but said he worked for the Edwards Oil Co. of Lawrenceburg.
Witnesses said they heard a large boom and then saw a fireball light up the sky.
"We heard two large bangs, and then we heard the fire. So we stepped out, and we saw the entire area just completely lit with flames," witness Lonnie Spears told Nashville station News Channel 5. "The fire was just monstrous, couldn't have ever seen anything like that before. We've seen a few bad accidents over the years, but nothing like this."
It wasn't clear what caused the crash. Authorities were investigating.

It is always great to see successful iOS games make their way onto the Android platform, but sadly this isn't something we see every day. Guerrilla Bob, an action shooting game, brings some stunning graphics to Android, and offers some rather entertaining game play. Unlike many other applications, this game offers cross platform game play, which allows Android owners to play vs PC or iOS users if they so wish. In addition to this the game offers a Story Campaign, a Classic Survival Mode as well as a War Attack Mode, which will allow each user to find a style that is fitting for them. Guerrilla Bob has OpenFeint support, along with tons of other great features. For only $2.99 this game is certainly one you will want to check out. Game trailer to be found after the break, along with download information.

Looks good to me! Anyone tried it on the Xoom yet?
Runs PERFECT on my EVO with CM7. Absolutely smooth, good looking and fast paced. Awesome controls as well!
So game seemed really kwel, but wont work on EVO Shift. You cant use gun while walking. The only way you can do that is use slide out keyboard. But problem with slide out keyboard is meau button is on the same side as walk pad. so kind of hard to do with 2 hands. Hope they fix it and will re buy.
FYI. Game says to use back or menu key to fire and you cant use those at the same time as touching the screen on the EVO 4G either. Just tap anywgere on the screen an Bob will shoot.
funny how i find out more about these awesome games when i visit here rather than on tipb.

Russell Westbrook in Paris: Thunder guard visits Fashion Week
In June, Russell Westbrook announced that he would team up with Barneys New York on his own clothing line. The partnership included a trip to Paris Fashion Week to promote Westbrook's styles.
The Thunder guard made it to Paris at the end of June, and collaborated with Vogue Magazine on a photo diary you can view here.
It was Westbrook's first time in the city, where he also was allowed to take over the Barneys Man Instragram account to document his experience.
Westbrook is many things (among them a lightning rod for Thunder criticism), but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more athletic AND interesting guard in the league.
He's been into underwear sales, and recently jumped into the eyewear game.

To the editor:
As another Memorial Day approaches and many are planning on long weekends with our families at the beach, cookouts and amusement parks, etc.; we should all take time to honor those who put their lives on hold and at risk to make life better and safer for the rest of us.
This holiday is primarily for the military, but we should keep it in our minds, hearts and prayers to thank all those who wear a uniform � police and sheriff�s deputies, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, doctors and nurses.
These individuals put in many hours of training and learning to be qualified to do their jobs and work all hours day and night to provide those services.
God bless America!

North Central College student Chloe Boden is one of only 40 applicants nationwide selected to participate in Oxfam America's weeklong CHANGE Initiative to be held in late July in Boston.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) Naperville-Area branch has awarded a $750 scholarship to North Central College student Allyson Martens to participate in the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) May 28-30 at the University of Maryland near Washington, D.C.
North Central College's new minor in film and screen studies is designed to complement numerous majors and prepare students for a variety of careers.
"Film and screen studies will help students build transferable critical-thinking skills," says Lisa Long, professor of English and chair of the College's Division of Arts and Letters. "It will draw upon traditional theory but help students develop the visual literacy needed in today's world."
North Central College students and alumni often say opportunities to study away from campus are among their most memorable moments of college. Twenty-two students who spent a week this spring touring historic sites in the civil rights movement say the Sankofa Experience Verandah course inspired life-changing passion for social justice causes.
Josh Stumpenhorst '03 will deliver one of three keynote addresses at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference June 28-July 1 in Philadelphia.
Two students who will graduate from North Central College this year have been awarded prestigious Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships (ETA).
The latest Fulbright honors for Heidi Nelson '15 of Carol Stream and Kristin Rose '15 of Joliet are the 10th and 11th Fulbright awards earned by North Central College students and alumni. North Central College has been recognized as among the U.S. colleges and universities that produce the highest number of Fulbright recipients for 2014-2015 international exchanges.
Matt McCary '10 has some advice for current North Central College students: make the most of your time as an undergraduate.
"When I was an undergraduate I couldn't wait to get through those four years," McCary says. "North Central prepared me very well for graduate school, but I wish I had challenged myself even more as an undergrad."
North Central College's commitment to sustainability is being recognized with inclusion in "The Princeton Review's Guide to 353 Green Colleges: 2015 Edition."
Brian Waterman, an alumnus of North Central College's master of arts in education (MAEd) program, has been named High School Principal of the Year by the West Cook Chapter of the Illinois Principals Association.
Waterman began serving as principal of Lyons Township High School in LaGrange at the start of the 2014-2015 academic year. He earned his master's degree in educational leadership at North Central College in 2004.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

Student SUV Rekindles Indonesian Auto Dreams
JAKARTA––A stylish, student-built SUV prototype from central Java has sparked imaginations and debates across Indonesia. People want to know: If small-town teens can slap together a car, then why can't Indonesia, a country that has long lagged behind its neighbors in developing automotive technology?
Indonesian blogs and broadcasts have been buzzing for much of the new year with news of the sport-utility vehicle designed and built by the students of the SMK vocational school in the Indonesian town of Klaten.
The mayor of nearby Solo was so impressed with the pimped-out ride that he used it as his official vehicle before being told it had yet to fulfill all the safety requirements. Other government officials and politicians have praised the car–dubbed the "Esemka" from the Indonesian pronunciation of the vocational school's name–as an example of Indonesian ingenuity, declaring it should be mass-produced.
It can be done, says Michael Dunne, president of auto consultancy Dunne & Co., but it will take a lot of money and probably a lot of help (or at least consent) from Japanese car makers like Toyota and Daihatsu, which have dominated Indonesian roads for decades.
"There is no reason why Indonesia can't do it if it has an entrepreneur with the gumption and ambition," he said. With so many companies already making parts for Japanese cars, he said, "you can cobble together parts and build a car and call it Indonesian."
Sukiat, the owner of Kiat Motor–the garage where the students developed and made the prototype–says he wants to mass-produce the car and already has some interested investors, but he still needs government approvals. Like many Indonesians, he goes by only one name.
"We plan to mass-produce the prototype and are hoping to sell the SUV with a 1.5-liter engine and 105 horsepower for 95 million rupiah," or around $10,000, he told Southeast Asia Real Time. "But that plan lies at mercy of the government."
To start mass-producing a car Indonesia or Indonesian investors will have to come up with between $50 million and $100 million to build the first-phase facilities, said Mr. Dunne. However, even if the funds become available, the bigger problem will be getting the approval of the Japanese auto manufacturers. While parts for the Esemka may be 80% made in Indonesia, some may have been designed originally for Japanese cars by Japanese companies. Toyota and Daihatsu may not want their designs and parts used by the competition.
When Chinese companies launched their own "local" cars using the parts and designs of the Japanese cars produced there, the Japanese manufacturers sued, said Mr. Dunne, who is also the author of a book on the Chinese auto market called "American Wheels Chinese Roads."
Other attempts by governments in the region to force the launch of a local car have met with mixed success. Malaysia's Proton, for example, has thrived with the help of a lot of government protection and money but has never proven to be competitive enough to export much. Indonesia's government-backed Timor sedan project ended with the end of the economic boom–and the end of Suharto-family control when Indonesia's former strongman was knocked from power––- at the end of the 1990s.
Now that the students have proven it can be done, there could be a surge of Esemkas on Indonesia's roads even without government or big investor backing, said Mr. Sukiat.
"If it doesn't get government approval, it will become like a wild rabbit and just breed by itself," he said.

Strengthen Passwords for Online Security
Don't risk giving valuable personal information to hackers.
You rely on computer access for just about everything – email, shopping, financial transactions and even following current events. All of these activities are performed on what we hope are secure connections.
Unfortunately, security breaches are becoming commonplace in today's high-tech environment. While you may not be able to prevent a breach on another computer or sever, there are steps you can take to make information on your computer harder to access by a hacker.
The best way to protect yourself is with strong passwords to access your accounts. The stronger the password, the more difficult it is for a hacker to access your information. Here are some tips and tricks to help you create passwords that are almost impossible to guess.
- Make your password long. The more characters in your password, the more difficult it is to crack. Experts recommend at least 10 characters; 12 characters are ideal.
- Use random letters, numbers and symbols. Consider a password that isn't a real word.
- Intentionally misspell words or phrases to make passwords more difficult to crack.
- Use different passwords for every online sign-in, otherwise, if an attacker discovers one, they'll have access to all of your profiles and accounts.
- Avoid the obvious like "abc123" and "password." Also don't use names of relatives, children, pets, etc.; these are options hackers try first.
- If you write your password down, keep it in a secure place. A desk drawer at work doesn't count.
Finally, change all passwords every few months. By changing your password regularly, you limit the window of opportunity for thieves.
Here are additional steps you can take to secure your online activity:
- Operating systems are periodically updated to fix security gaps; be sure to install the updates to ensure your computer has the latest protection.
- Install a firewall, which blocks communications to and from unauthorized sources.
- Install and update anti-virus and anti-spyware software, which protect your computer from invasions that destroy data and slow down or crash systems. Such viruses can also allow spammers to send email from your account or track your online activities. Give your system a thorough scan at least twice a month.
- Use caution with public Wi-Fi. Avoid accessing or sending sensitive personal information over public wireless networks, such as those at coffee shops, as they may not be secure.
With just a little work on your part, you can make your computer and online activity more secure and harder for the computer hacker to access.

Roma faced serious discrimination in access to housing, education, employment, health care and other services, as well as persistent prejudice and hostility. Romani pupils were frequently taught in segregated classes or were over-represented in special schools for children with mental disabilities. Women, particularly from the Romani community, were vulnerable to trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
In parliamentary elections on 17 June, the Direction-Social Democracy (Smer) party won the most votes. To secure a ruling majority, it formed a coalition with the Slovak National Party (SNS) and the People's Party-Movement for a Democratic Slovakia. As both coalition partners, particularly the SNS, were deemed to have promoted ethnic or racial prejudices and hatred, Smer's membership of the Party of European Socialists in the European Parliament was suspended.
On 3 February, the Constitution was amended to increase the powers of the Public Defender of Rights (Ombudsperson), including the right to bring cases before the Constitutional Court when laws and regulations threaten human rights and basic freedoms. Another amendment specified the duty of all public security forces to co-operate with the Public Defender.
Exclusion of Roma
Roma faced discrimination in access to housing, education and employment, according to the final report on the human rights situation of the Roma, Sinti and Travellers in Europe by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, published in February. The Commissioner expressed concern that Romani children were unjustifiably placed in special schools. He recommended that the government of Slovakia establish mechanisms to enable women who had been sterilized without informed consent to obtain compensation.
Concerns that Romani children were being taught in segregated classes in primary schools and were over-represented in special schools were expressed by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia in a report in May on Roma and Travellers in public education.
The Council of Europe Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities published its second opinion on Slovakia in June. Although it found improvements in inter-community relations and intercultural understanding, prejudice and intolerance towards certain groups persisted, and hostile attitudes toward the Roma needed to be addressed. The Roma generally faced serious disadvantages, including in education, employment, housing and health care, and their involvement in public affairs was insufficient.
Almost 75 per cent of Romani households depended on aid from the state, municipalities or charitable organizations, according to a UN Development Programme report released in October. The report recommended a public debate in Slovakia on the introduction of temporary affirmative action measures for Roma, and that consideration be given to extending compulsory school attendance from the current age of 15 to 18 years.
In the first reported court case brought under the 2004 Anti-Discrimination Law, on 31 August the District Court of Michalovce ruled that a café in Michalovce had discriminated against three Roma activists from a local non-governmental organization, Nová Cesta, by denying them access in an incident in 2005. However, the court failed to specify the grounds of discrimination.
International scrutiny
In February the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture published a report of its visit to Slovakia in 2005, noting among other things allegations that the police ill-treated detainees at the time of arrest and in custody. The Committee recommended that priority be given to police training, particularly in high-risk situations such as the apprehension and interrogation of suspects, and for measures to enable people who alleged police ill-treatment, or their lawyer or doctor, to request a forensic medical examination.
The Committee also reported that "net beds" were still widely used at the time of its visit in facilities for people with mental illnesses and disabilities. It recommended that comprehensive scientific research be commissioned into the use of "net beds" in psychiatric establishments and alternative methods of managing patient care.
Racially motivated attacks
Members of ethnic minorities continued to be subjected to racist attacks. Police investigations sometimes appeared dilatory or failed to acknowledge the racist motives of the attackers.
- On 13 July, three young men, one of them under the age of 18, reportedly attacked three students from Angola near student hostels in Bratislava's Mlynská Dolina district, shouting racist and Nazi slogans. Police were still investigating the alleged attackers at the end of 2006.
- Reports of an attack on an ethnic Hungarian girl in Nitra on 25 August provoked an outcry and protests by the Hungarian government. A police investigation concluded that she had fabricated her account. A court ruling on her complaint was pending.
- On 9 September, three masked men attacked a Romani family at their home in Sereï, injuring a girl and a 57-year-old man. The police detained the perpetrators and confirmed that the attack was racially motivated.
Trafficking of women
In January, the government adopted a National Action Plan to Fight Human Trafficking for 2006-2007, to address the trafficking of women from Slovakia to other countries for the purpose of sexual exploitation and other sexual abuse. Romani women and girls were particularly vulnerable to such crimes.
In September, the police in the Czech Republic detained and brought charges against 16 people for trafficking women from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Sałatka jarzynowa
Posted on 28. Apr, 2011 by Kasia in cooking, food
Sałatka jarzynowa is a great Polish salad, but not like the green leaf salad that most people in USA are used to. Polish salad has the ingredients cut very small and has a quite different appearance from leaf salad. It almost looks like a pasta salad with no pasta. Sałatka is one of my favourite Polish dishes and if you haven't tried it yet, you should try to make it. It is really easy to make and very tasty!
In fact, it is traditionally made for all holidays in most of Polish homes. And it should definitely appear on Easter table!
Here is a recipie for you. It takes a little longer than regular salad to make, but it is definitely worth it.
- Potato (2 med)
- Eggs (4)
- Carrots (2)
- Parsnip roots (2)
- Celery root (0.5)
- Apple (1)
- Dill Pickles (2 -3)
- Green peas (half can)
- Corn from the can (half can)
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise (full fat tastes the best)
- Salt/pepper
1. Boil vegetables (except of green peas, pickles and corn) until soft and hard boil eggs.
2. Peel cooked vegetables, pickles and apple.
3. Dice vegetables and eggs as small as possible and place in a dish.
4. Add mustard, mayonnaise, salt and pepper and mix. There is no right amount of these. When a different person makes it they add different amounts and it comes out slightly different each time. At the end, after you mix everything, you can spread a little mayonnaise on the top and add some parsley leaves for decoration.
Experiment and have fun with it.
Sałatka is great on it's own or with kiełbasa or on a kanapka. I have tried it with most things and it's always great.
Good luck and let me know how did you like it!
Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)

Kasia … I am in the process of making this salatka at this very moment. I went to my cupboard and found three cans of cooked mixed veggies and it is almost the perfect blend of stuff … potatoes, peas, carrots, green beans and, for good measure, lima beans. Ok, so maybe I will take the lima beans out. But, by morning this will be nice and cold and well aged and fantastic. I plan to call the neighbors over …
my mother liked to add beets in this salad, that gave a lovely pink color to the mayonnaise – as children we called it the pink salad;

Hey -
What are you guys using in the way of clipless pedals? (both for the drome and the street). I've been using clips for my street/city riding, but I think I'm ready to make the transition over to clipless. My question is, what type of clipless peds - in your OPINIONS - are the most ideal for riding fixed. I'm sort of leaning toward getting road shoes, and either egg-beaters or speedplays. I think personally, I'd like a decent amount of float, but as I've never ridden clipless before, I'm not sure. I have no experience in this matter so I defer to yall. Also, I plan on starting to take beginner classes at the velodrome and I was wondering what's most common there. ( I assume clips, but i've never been, so I don't know). any input is appreciated.
PS - BTW, Bucky at Fixed Mag who posted about the Kissena classic and the beginner's classes wanted me to pass along the answer to my question for him, for those interested, which is: Yes, you do have to remove your brake(s) (if you're running one) for class.
