Several WILX News 10 viewers shared this video with us, of Hillsdale County residents finding an unusual way to enjoy the winter weather!
The video was taken by Daryl Peiffer while out plowing south of Pittsford in Hillsdale County. He took a quick break from plowing the roads, to capture this video of a horse and buggy pulling skiers through the snowy fields of Hillsdale County!

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – On Dancing with the Stars results tonight, Kendra Wilkinson will have to excel to stay in the competition. Playboy's Kendra Wilkinson (photos below) starts tonight's Dancing with the Stars with the worse overall score in this competition, by nine points. But while Kendra will have to improve to advance, she will also have to hope that Kirstie Alley or Romeo struggles in final results.
Kendra Wilkinson coming into tonight's competition is far back in last. But the question news is asking this week is whether the former Playboy Playmate, who enters tonight with only one hundred points, can overtake Kirstie Alley and Romeo. Kirstie, with nine points more than Kendra, and Romeo, with eleven, have both been consistent this competition. But such has not been the case for Kendra. In fact, many news sites predicted Kendra's elimination last week.

Earlier this month, Kendra struggled, earning an eighteen for her Viennese waltz with Louis Van Amstel. Both Bruno and Len were unimpressed. Bruno remarked "Kendra, you messed it up and you know it." Carrie Ann added that Kendra is dancing too conservatively to win. "You looked like you were holding back."

On the rumba, Kendra seemed to be back into the competition, earning a strong twenty-three. Len then Kendra that showed huge improvement".
Last week, on the foxtrot, Kendra was back in the groove, but still holding back. Her foxtrot prompted news to incorrectly predict her elimination last week.

But with a twenty-two, the dance resulted in Len remarking "Good news, it's much better than last week!" Bruno said it was "much more in character." "I can see you thinking it." And Carrie Ann was definitely excited for Kendra. "This is the most confident I've ever seen you."
Romeo, however, picked up a twenty-six last week. His foxtrot impressed fans and news critics. Len said it was still lacking "but you're on the right road." Bruno added "I've never seen a foxtrot so cheeky and so well-danced!"And Carrie Ann loved it, adding "You have your own unique style."
Kirstie wasn't as good with her foxtrot. Len said it "wasn't my cup of tea." Bruno called it "the American woman and the Russian gigolo!" But Carrie Ann loved it saying "it was a little borderline crazy …. I think it was your best dance ever!"

The Colbert Report
Television | Colbert carries water for liberals -- and dumps it on conservatives
The Daily Show uses the evening-news format as a vehicle for political satire. But it is just like the evening news in its political bias, carrying water for liberals and pouring it all over conservatives. Its new spin-off, The Colbert Report (Comedy Central), takes aim at TV journalism itself.
Host and humorist Stephen Colbert nails the mannerisms of TV anchors, taking off his glasses and weighting the moment by turning from one camera to the other.
Much of the satire applies to all news shows. "Like any good newsman," Mr. Colbert says, "I believe that if you aren't scared, I'm not doing my job." He then goes into a list of the top threats to America (e.g., avian flu, international basketball, early toilet training, hurricanes using Greek letters instead of American letters, James Brady's anti-gun pamphlets). He mocks too the self-importance that TV newsmen often project, their blend of egotism and false humility, along with their do-gooder pretensions ("we have a whole big world to fix").
But his real target is Fox News and, specifically, Bill O'Reilly. The Colbert Report apes the brightly colored sets and the pro-American rhetoric of Fox News, and Mr. Colbert lampoons Mr. O'Reilly's populism, his "Talking Point" memos, and other bits.
The general theme is that conservatives are irrational ("knowing with their hearts"), whereas liberals are smart ("thinking with their brains"). Since liberals have usually been the touchy-feely ones, perhaps this signals a positive shift in left-wing ideology. But what we are left with is more conservative bashing, a characteristic mannerism of TV journalism that escapes satire.

It's Day 1,329, McGinn occupation of City Hall. At The Seattle Times it begins like the 1,328 before it: with the dissemination of marching orders.
"Reporters, bring me stories that make this mayor look bad. If you can't find a fresh one, recycle! We haven't run one about his war on cars, in, what, three days?
"Columnists, step up your attacks. Westneat, try branding the mayor as a radical. Maybe call him a communist or something.
"Remember, all: This mayor is dangerous. He must be stopped. Let's get him for good this time."
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
So I hope that sounded ridiculous. Yet this is the tale Mayor Mike McGinn and some of his supporters are pushing: that The Seattle Times is out to get him.
"Seattle Times vs. Mike McGinn: The Feud Grows Deeper," was how the Seattle Weekly put it in a story about how McGinn feels vilified.
This week, the publisher of two Seattle community newspapers elevated it to the level of a conspiracy.
"It seems shameful that to a person, the Times reporters and columnists have not had the guts to back away from the attack demanded by their publisher," reads a Ballard News-Tribune editorial.
"But we get it. Whose bread I eat, his song I sing. All those writers want to keep their jobs and you do that by writing what the boss tells you to write."
Ouch. I called the author of that, associate publisher Ken Robinson, to see if he really meant that we're all a bunch of gutless sellouts. Pretty much he did.
"McGinn has been one of the best mayors Seattle has ever had, and you will never read that in The Seattle Times," he said.
Probably true, but can I at least try to put to rest this idea that McGinn is under some orchestrated attack?
In my nearly 10 years writing a column here, neither the publisher, Frank Blethen, nor any other boss has ever requested that I write on anything specific (including this column). Nor has the publisher stopped me from writing anything, or complained to me about what I wrote (including when I opposed an estate-tax initiative the newspaper contributed money to).
The result, for better or worse, is a newspaper with competing voices. Example: The editorial page strongly opposes McGinn's plan for a new Sonics arena. But most other columnists who have weighed in have been in support (including me). Our business columnist, Jon Talton, said about the arena that "if we pass this up, we're even stupider than we were on the Seattle Commons" — a scathing disagreement with the paper's editorial position. Was he muzzled for that? No.
If this sounds like barely-managed chaos, it is. I asked the Ballard News-Tribune publisher if he goes around like Citizen Kane demanding ideological crusades from his reporters, as he accused The Times of doing.
"No, I never tell anybody what to write," Robinson said. "I sometimes cue them to a possible story. But I don't ever give them a point of view."
Now, there's no question our editorial board opposed McGinn's election in 2009 and opposes him again this year. Plus we're something like 50 times the size of the Ballard News-Tribune. So that's a megaphone.
But in the newsroom, where I live and which is separate from the editorial page, this mayor isn't getting any more negative scrutiny than any other. He is in the news a lot, but that's because he seems to like what we like: confrontation. Whether he's fighting with the governor about the tunnel or Whole Foods about wages, it all equals good copy to us.
Plus the press-hounded mayor is an old reliable. Ask former mayors Greg Nickels or Paul Schell if they felt we were on their sides.
Last week a reporter was researching past mayors and came upon this entry in the local history website historylink.org, about Wes Uhlman, who was elected Seattle's mayor in the late 1960s:
"Uhlman was also hobbled by an eager but inexperienced staff and a hostile press corps, especially The Seattle Times, which actually dispatched (a) reporter … to Spokane to 'dig up' the body of a prostitute Uhlman was rumored to have murdered there."
Now that's raking some muck! By comparison, this mayor maybe doesn't have it so bad.
Speaking of which: Day 1,330 — can someone check to see if McGinn's ever been to Spokane?

Welfare's last stand
National | "Stand for Children" an early shot in the next welfare war
Franco Pagnanelli, 28, stood on the grassy slope in front of the Washington Monument with a clear message for all to see. Holding a picture of an aborted baby, Mr. Pagnanelli said he'd come to the "Stand for Children" march on the nation's capital to speak for those children who truly lack a voice: the unborn. Curiously, however, many in the crowd of "children's rights" advocates seemed to frown on his views. "That's not for children!" one angry passerby said in response to Mr. Pagnanelli's grim sign. "You like to be hateful," said another.
The episode illustrates clearly the stark ideological bent that permeated the June 1 rally of nearly 200,000 people at Washington's Lincoln Memorial. Even as participants railed at Mr. Pagnanelli about standing for the unborn, rally organizer Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund and long-time friend of First Lady Hillary Clinton, told the gathering: "We stand today at the Lincoln Memorial as an American family and an American community to commit ourselves to putting our children first."
So much hangs on the definition of "children" and what it means to put them "first": CDF and its mainly liberal rally sponsors talk much about the very real plight of inner-city children, but say nothing of the plight of inner-womb children. Among the event's sponsors were groups such as Planned Parenthood of America, the National Organization for Women, Americans for Democratic Action, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, Greenpeace, the National Rainbow Coalition, and Zero Population Growth. Many of these groups chose to spend taypayers' dollars to support a rally where the underlying message was partisan liberal. According to the Heritage Foundation, more than 100 of the endorsing groups had received nearly $392 million in government funds in fiscal year 1993-1994.
"Time and time again the Children's Defense Fund has missed the mark on the greatest crisis facing our children-family breakdown," said Gary Bauer, president of the Family Research Council. "For them, every problem is an economic one, explained not in the loss of values or loving homes, but in dollars and cents. The last 30 years has shown clearly the failure of these approaches."
But even failed approaches-like the multi-billion-dollar behemoth welfare system-have their defenders. With another Republican welfare reform bill meandering through Congress, CDF this time has struck early. A 200,000-strong rally like this would have been unlikely last October, when CDF and other opponents of welfare reform were back on their heels. As the Senate neared passage of legislation that would reform the welfare system by, among other things, ending the federal entitlement, limiting the rate of spending growth, and block-granting much of the program to the states, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) lashed out at the lack of opposition from groups like CDF.
"There are very few advocacy groups outside. You can stand where I stand and look straight out at the Supreme Court, not a person in between that view," Sen. Moynihan had lamented in a speech on the Senate floor. "No one of those flaunted, vaunted advocacy groups forever protecting the interests of the children and the helpless and the homeless and the what-you-will."
Weeks later at a news conference, Ms. Edelman pleaded battle fatigue in answering the senator's criticism. "This is a 100-front war. Everything is on the verge of being dismantled. We couldn't possibly have worked harder."
But defenders of the welfare status quo were helped by insiders like Mrs. Clinton and cabinet member Donna Shalala-both former CDF board members. Ms. Shalala's Department of Health and Human Services was instrumental in turning President Clinton's long-professed support for welfare reform into a veto. Despite an HHS report, which Ms. Shalala acknowledged was presented to Mr. Clinton, on the supposed impact of the legislation, the president continued in his support for the bill. A month and a half later, the report was mysteriously leaked to The Los Angeles Times, and Sen. Moynihan helped generate even more publicity for the report-all the while insisting the president never knew about it: "Now that this information is available, the president ...is free to withdraw his support" for the bill. He did and the legislation was vetoed.
Back at the CDF rally, under a tent near the Washington monument, SMYAL, the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League of gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth passed out literature on homophobia. One rally participant held a sign reading, "All children are born liberal, only the blessed stay that way." Others wore T-shirts saying, "Fight the Right."
Despite the secular-liberal bent of many sponsoring groups, the rally was guised in religious overtones; children and adults sang songs such as "This Little Light of Mine," and "Kumbayah." Yet even the spiritual elements of the program were not entirely apolitical. A modernized reading from Isaiah brought the message home: "Woe to the legislators that decree unrightly decrees," read one man to a crowd on a day filled with rhetoric that criticized legislators who ride elephants but not donkeys.
Reporter Sheryl Henderson in Washington provided information for this story.

The Train to Anywhere
�Tickets, please! Everybody, please get your tickets ready,� shouted the conductor as he walked into the train car. He paused at the first seat and punched the ticket with his special hole punch. �Going out west, my lad?� he queried.
�Yes, sir,� the boy replied. �It�s my favorite part of the country. I want learn all about it.�
The conductor smiled at him and moved across the aisle. �May I see your ticket, Madam?�
The woman to whom he spoke held out three tickets, one for herself and two for her children. �We�re going to South America,� she explained. �It�s a homeschooling project."
�Go slowly through Colombia,� he told her. He inhaled deeply and closed his eyes as he imagined the fragrance of dark roasted coffee beans. The deep breath caused his walrus-like moustache to quiver.
He walked to the next row of seats without opening his eyes. The shy young lady seated behind the mother held out her ticket. Her eyes were averted to floor in front of her. Since neither was looking, the conductor�s pot belly bumped the young woman�s hand. He startled and jumped back a step. The young woman�s mouth dropped open and she glanced up quickly, but back at the floor again before anyone could return her glance. She still held out her ticket.
�Pardon me, Missy, I should watch where I�m going,� the conductor said. He took the ticket and looked at it closely. �Well now, going all the way to China, are you?�
The young lady looked up and smiled. �Yes, sir. That country has always fascinated me, but I�ve never been able to afford the airfare. I finally decided I should take this train there. After all, it costs very little.�
�Mostly, just time,� said the conductor.
�Hey!� shouted a snotty-nosed kid a few rows back. �You can�t take a train to China. It�s on the other side of the ocean. Trains don�t go across oceans,� he cried. The kid wiped his shirt sleeve across his upper lip and snorted up whatever didn�t make it to the sleeve. He was not the type of child that usually knew things like China being across an ocean, but the other passengers were not surprised. They knew that children that rode this train knew things that most did not.
The conductor tilted his head and looked over the top of his glasses at the boy. �That may be true of most trains, Son. But this train is very special. You might say it is a magical train. It will go wherever you want to take it. North, south, east, west . . . it doesn�t matter.� He paused for effect and then added, �You can even travel through time on this train or to worlds of which ordinary people don't even dream.�
At this, the passengers became very lively. Everybody seemed to want to rebut the youngster�s misunderstanding of the train. �I�m going to the Middle Ages,� shouted a teen.
�Last month, I took the train to the beaches of Normandy. I escorted the troops to the all the way to Paris!" said an elderly gentleman.
A small, precocious 5-year-old stood on her seat. She wanted to add to the hubbub. "You can go anywhere on this train," she said. "This train is called The Liberty."
The train car erupted with laughter. The conductor held up his hands to quiet the crowd, himself suppressing a chuckle. "While it is a very liberating experience, lil Miss, the name of this train doesn't have a 't' in it. On the Reading Railroad, we call this train, The Library."

Life in the Treetops: Adventures of a Woman in Field Biology (Nota Bene…
by Margaret D. Lowman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
All about the science of studying the topes of forests, especially rain forests. Very readable as well. However, it raises the question - how do women reconcile family life and careers? What do truly driven people do? They are the ones that discover significant things about this world.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0300084641, Paperback)Life in the Treetops reflects many of the difficulties faced by women scientists in all fields. Margaret Lowman, a field biologist specializing in forest-canopy research, shows how dealing with the emotional challenges is as tough as or tougher than dangling from a precarious perch counting beetles or facing down a deadly sea snake. This chronicle of her adventures (and misadventures) among the treetops encourages readers to understand both the science and the scientist. One can't help but sympathize with Lowman as she struggles to be a good researcher and a traditional rural housewife at the same time, and fails. Luckily, her kids and parents always remain supportive, taking care of the house during her long absences and accompanying her to faraway research stations when possible. Lowman studies small things--leaves and insects, mostly--and getting to them can be tricky. She chronicles the history of forest-canopy research techniques (which have grown apace with her career), starting with simple climbing gear and ending with treetop walkways and giant construction cranes. Life in the Treetops is an engaging look at one woman's struggle to find balance, whether she's high up in a tree or on the ground with her fellow humans. --Therese Littleton

This game is so amazing! I love the world and the characters, Cain especially. Was he actually based off anyone from the Reborn community? Just curious because the gym leaders are actual people, so...
Anyway, I started the mudkip sidequest in the wasteland, and I talked to the man in the building who said there is a secret tunnel in grotto. I've been looking in the grotto for hours, and I haven't found any secret tunnel that I'm assuming the mudkip will be in. I've checked the place where the ghastly was too. Help? ;A;

"For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Esther 4:14
This is a great verse. Esther was afraid to approach the king and ask him to save her people because approaching him without being asked was risking her life. When Mordecai answers her, it shows a lot of faith. He's basically saying... if you don't do it, God will still save our people, but you and I will die. And maybe this is the reason that God has put you here. As it turned out, it was. ... I think that is a good thing to ponder as we approach all of our problems. Yes, it is very true that God will accomplish his purposes on this earth without us, if need be. But being where we are, and who we are, we all have unique opportunities to participate in his work. And perhaps we are exactly where we are for such a time as this. Today, wherever we are, and whatever position we are in, let's overcome our fears, and stand up for God and his work.

I bought one last year with the idea of always having a bike with me in my vehicle. While I do a number of short rides where I live, I've been in SoCal this past week. Last year I'd shopped all the folding bikes I could find in SoCal and felt the Brompton was clearly the best but balked a bit at the price. None the less, I bought an ML6 and added a Brooks B17 and Ergo grips.
Yesterday, at Newport beach, while my family played in the sand, I took off for a ride and realized just how effortless it was (did around 10 miles). When I was done, it folded back into its tiny foot print and i tucked it away into a back corner of the Land Cruiser. I kept thinking on this ride (I'm a bike path rider, not a commuter, tourer, or anything really serious; just like the Zen of bike riding) that I really had no need for my full size bike any longer; the Brompton does everything I want in a bike with the added benefit of being a no-brainer to always have with me when I travel.
I know there's lots of stuff out there with new stuff coming out all the time but if you can swing the price, want a brilliant fold, and an excellent riding bike for casual riding, I can't think of a folding bike I'd rather own. Of course, I got the usual comments ranging from "Cool bike!" to "Someone stole your wheels!". At least I didn't get, "Where's the circus?"

A Very Good Teaching Company Course
Driving to and from NYC, I have been listening to Part 2 of "America and the New Global Economy," a Teaching Company course. Interesting in every way, the professor, Timothy Taylor, combines a general economic overview with great specific stories as he guides the listener through China, India, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Professor Taylor suggests that we should picture mushrooms rather than yeast when thinking of economic growth.

Grey's Anatomy
What Is Grey's Anatomy Showrunner Shonda Rhimes Excited About?
We may all be eagerly anticipating Grey's Anatomy Season 10, but Shonda Rhimes, mastermind behind the addicting medical drama, has a different televised event she's looking forward to. So, what's making Shonda excited this week?
The National Spelling Bee!
Shonda apparently couldn't help but share her happiness about the Scripps National Spelling Bee, since she took a break from her Twitter hiatus to write, "Everything joyful in the world can be encompassed in the following five words: IT IS SPELLING BEE WEEK. @ScrippsBee #getyourBEEon"
To outsiders, this might seem like an overreaction to a bunch of kids saying letters, but as any spelling bee addict knows, "the Bee" can be just as thrilling as any sports championship. It's like the Superbowl for brainiacs and Scrabble enthusiasts.
That said, we're not sure we can agree with Shonda that "everything joyful in the world" can be found in the sentence "it is spelling bee week." We can't be entirely joyful until we get Season 10 and find out if Richard lives and Calzona survives!
Are you a spelling bee fan? Sound off in the comments below.

Most of you know I like ebay and Paypal (lets not turn this into a bash thread) and we all know a variety of strategies for bidding.
Here's my current dilemma, an item I need is listed 2X. One auction is a straight up auction while the other is 'buy now'. Typicaly I'd watch the 'auction' and if the price exceeded the 'buy now' I'd jump at the 'buy now'.
Except in this case the 'Buy Now' auction ends 2 minutes before the regular auction.

Some three and a half years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans residents will finally get a chance to put the Army Corps of Engineers on trial.
A federal judge in New Orleans ruled Friday that a lawsuit holding the Army Corps responsible for flooding during Hurricane Katrina can proceed to trial next month.
The lawsuit, which was filed by plaintiffs whose homes in eastern New Orleans, the Lower 9th Ward and St. Bernard Parish were flooded during the 2005 hurricane, argues that the Army Corps failed to properly maintain a navigation channel called the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MR-GO).
The shipping canal is now known to be responsible for destroying large parts of Louisiana's coastline and protective wetlands and contributing to the devastating damage New Orleans suffered during Hurricane Katrina. MR-GO intensified the hurricane's storm surge and flooded eastern New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish.
In his Friday decision, Judge Stanwood Duval said the decision for a trial is required in order to determine whether the corps failed to take the risk of flooding from the outlet seriously after it dug the channel.
As the Times Picayune reports:
Duval said a trial is necessary to hash out several "material questions of fact," including whether the National Environmental Protection Act was violated by what the Corps claims were the legally-permissible, discretionary decisions it made in designing, building and maintaining the 76-mile channel, and whether, as the plaintiffs maintain, the Corps violated that law's requirement to warn Congress of the dangers presented by the MRGO.
This is the first case against the Army Corps by Katrina flood victims to go to trail. The outcome of this case could set the stage for thousands of other people whose homes and businesses were flooded in the same area to seek compensation from the federal government for the Army Corp's negligence. Another group of New Orleans residents has a separate lawsuit pending that asks the court to allow the case against the Army Corps to proceed as a class action, representing everyone in those areas who sustained flooding in the 2005 storm.
Prior attempts to sue the corps have failed. In January 2008, Duval dismissed a class-action lawsuit against the Army Corps over the breaching of New Orleans' 17th Street Canal during Katrina. The judge ruled that the corps was immune in that case under the Flood Control Act of 1928, which grants immunity to the federal government when flood control projects -- including floodwalls -- break. Class action lawsuits filed against insurance companies for flood damage were also dismissed in 2007 by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The End of Mister Go
The federally-funded MR-GO was dug into the swamps southeast of New Orleans in the 1960s as a shortcut between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. But the catastrophic impact of the project is no longer up for debate. Yet, for years the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies allowed energy companies to decimate Louisiana's coastal wetlands, the best buffers against hurricanes, with projects like MR-GO. For just as many years, residents, coastal advocates, environmentalists, civil rights groups, and policy makers argued for MR-GO's closure, as the 76-mile shipping channel continued to grow in size due to erosion, bringing with it daily tidal flows of salt water that killed wetlands, marsh and swamp forests.
It wasn't until after the devastation of Katrina that that the outcry against the channel gained momentum, prompting Congress to allow the Corps to close the shipping route. And now, some fifty years after digging MR-GO and destroying vast wetland areas, the Corps has finally begun to look at restoring the damage the channel caused.
But the restoration is too little too late for families who lost everything to the flooding. Jonathan Andry, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, told the Associated Press that the corps never apologized after homes, businesses and whole neighborhoods of eastern New Orleans and nearby St. Bernard parish were swamped by floodwaters surging up the channel. "When the Mister Go caused the flooding, the corps didn't even come out and say to the people ... 'we're sorry,'" Andry said. "Not only that, they came into court and they say, 'it's just a terrible thing that happened to you, but we're immune. And oh, by the way, go enjoy your destroyed life.'"
The plaintiffs' lead trial lawyer, Pierce O'Donnell, told the Times-Picayune that his clients will be looking toward Washington, D.C. for support. "Before and after his election, President Obama promised that he would make rebuilding New Orleans a top priority," O'Donnell said. "We are looking to the White House for leadership in expeditiously resolving the claims of Katrina victims in a fair and equitable manner. The continued stonewalling of Katrina victims is a national disgrace."
The trial is scheduled to start on April 20.

On this page you're going to find the top free trials available for eHarmony.
Here they are…
About eHarmony
EHarmony was created in 2000 in Santa Monica California. The company was launched in order to match up men and women who are looking for long term relationships. It's obviously a website and it is something that you have to pay for each month to continue getting matches, being able to message people, etc…
A fun fact that you might not know about companies that are started by psychologists who wrote relationship advice books. What's even more interesting is that there is research he found that there're certain traits that would make people more compatible with others. So based upon this thought process, eHarmony was made.
How it Works
Basically how it works is they designed algorithm where it matches you up based upon your compatibility score. So when you sign up for the harmony trial you're going to answer a ton of questions so that they can get to know you. And based upon those answers you pretty much get matched up with no people who are seemingly more were supposed to be compatible with you. You've been basically get a big long list of people that you are matched with and that you harmony system thinks that you should have success with.
Why I like Their Site for Dating
So I'm basically going to give you the rundown of why I am actually in the fan if you harmony. Well for starters, I like that they ask you so many questions. They should actually get to know me rather then just take my money and match me up with random people which I feel like a lot of on my dating services do. That's what you harmonies continued success as one of the leading dating batch websites. The also thing I like about it is that it's for finding long-term relationships. There's a distinct difference between just wanting to date in one to actually have a long-term relationship. To get two people there that are all there to be able to look for long-term partners. It's kind of like with JD for instance you have all the Jewish people that want to marry somebody is Jewish then there you know to date on Jdate to better their chances. So it's pretty much the same thing for the long-term partner. You guys share that common goal so you know that you're down take to it to the next level. It's very comparable to match.com.
While I can't say that I was a success story but I wasn't necessarily looking for something long-term. I have the date Meister after also why would I be looking for something super long term at this point in my young life. What I did go find was that there was a lot of good people on there. I with some dating sites are going to find that there's just scummy people. But it seemed to me on eHarmony with the dates that I went on that the people were pretty good people.
You can go here to read all the free trial reviews for dating websites I have used.

The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association has been repeatedly though erroneously criticized for being destructive rather than constructive in its work, and not a few medical practitioners have pointed out the difficulty of consistently following the efforts that are being made to improve on the conditions now existing in relation to the use of drugs as aids in the prevention or the treatment of disease.
The difficulties that would be encountered by a physician in active practice in any attempt to differentiate between useful and useless articles will suggest themselves to any one who will take the time to look over one or more of the current price-lists of drugs and proprietary medicines.

Watch a Close-up Video of Casu Marzu, Now Available in Astoria
Ornella Trattoria is selling the Italian delicacy, the name of which translates to "rotten cheese."
Good morning! Have you had breakfast yet? If not, you may want to hold off on watching this video of "Casu Marzu," also known as cheese that's covered with live insect larvae. According to Amuse Bouche's Bradley Hawkes, it's available at Ornella Trattoria in Astoria (known for their pig's-blood pudding). So what's it like? According to Hawkes, "[t]he initial taste was pecorino, followed by gorgonzola, and then a spicy aftertaste, like freshly cracked black pepper." It doesn't sound so bad, but the video below makes it apparent why plenty of people steer clear of this particular delicacy.

When football is at its lowest ebb. When thugs and criminals rule the day. One man will stand up for truth and justice. One man will pull back the curtain and expose the lies for what they are. That man is Jessie the Footballer Venture.
Good morning truth seekers. Battle lines are being drawn this season and on one side are the teams of lightness and the other the hordes of darkness. For those not into their history books, this year is just another battle in a war that stretches all the way back to 1904 when the English Premier League wasn't the Premier League but the old Division One. Until 1904 every team in Division One was run by the Northern Footballing Illuminati. Look at the list from 1903 and have your eyes opened folks, Stoke, Newcastle, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Everton, Derby, Blackburn, up until 1904 these teams ran football and they made up whatever rules they wanted and subsequently were allowed to do what they wanted to each other.
But then in 1904 along came this bunch of Fancy-Dans from London who called themselves Arsenal. This Arsenal were the first London team to join the Football League, the first London team to win promotion to Division One, and if you hear the Northern Mafia tell it, the first London team to disgrace football by winning the League Title in 1931. These Northerners have never forgotten how Arsenal came along and ruined football with their red and white shirts, their radical formations, diet, passing the ball, and most recently their "continental" players.
According to the Northerners, football is a man's game where a broken leg is meant to be walked off, headbutts are a sign of affection, and there's no such thing as a bad tackle as long as the player in question didn't mean it and can be pawned off as a decent, upstanding, English lad. It's been that way for 130 years and they sure aren't going to let some silly Football Association with its headquarters in London or some television cameras tell them what's good for football. That's why Alex McLeish needed to launch an attack on Arsenal after his player, Lee Bowyer was retroactively banned for three games for stamping on Bacary Sagna and it's why Alex Ferguson would also use his press conference to take a poke at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as well.
McLeish called the Bowyer ban "trial by television"and bemoaned the lack of fairness:
As long as there is fairness, there isn't a problem. If things happen against our players and we are tried by television, that has to be the same for everyone.
But of course, this doesn't jibe with what he had said earlier about Arsenal when he tried to claim that the Gunners should have had four men sent off in the match at the Emirates:
Did you see Murphy get punched in the face in the last minute? We took him off with a cut eye. He's got stitches. Let's investigate. Nasri should have been sent off, Eboue had the scissor challenge on Ridgewell. We know the damage it can do. Jack Wilshere's was a deserved red. He's not a dirty player but even the best can mistime tackles. Zigic is lucky. He could have had his leg shattered like Eduardo.
I'm confused, does he want the FA to investigate games after the match or does he want to be able to do whatever non-football tactic he can in order to smash and grab three points? The clue is in the follow up quote:
A month ago, near the end of the Spurs game, Alan Hutton headbutted one of our players, David Murphy, by the touchline. I never said anything about it at the end of the game. Hutton came into the dressing-room afterwards, apologized and shook Murphy's hand. But nothing was done about it. However, on Match of the Day 2, the incident was shown. The pundits were sitting on the sofas and they just laughed about it. They called Alan a "little bull", and suggested it was the way a bull would butt somebody. I didn't see anyone screaming about Alan Hutton that day. I was quite happy to accept the apology and let it be swept under the carpet. I could have come out at the time and asked, "Why has he not been done?" But as soon as one of our players is involved, then there is a big furor and Bowyer's got to be punished. I don't want to see people tried by television. But if we are going to go through it, everyone should.
This is the logic that we are dealing with here: headbutts should be legal as long as the referee didn't see it and the player came into the dressing room and apologized after. The photograph below shows exactly the type of tactic that Alex McLeish also doesn't mind, as long as the ref doesn't see it.
According to McLeish, what we can't have is that type of disgusting stamp looked at after the match.
Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has come to the rescue of Stoke City, another Good Old Boy Northern team who play with a similar physical style to Birmingham. A style that led to Ryan Shawcross shattering Aaron Ramsey's leg and subsequent criticism from Arsene Wenger. Ferguson had this to say about Stoke:
People have criticized their physical style of play but they stick to what they do best. I suppose Arsene Wenger has been one of their main critics, but then he does go off on a tangent at times. For instance, he criticized our pitch after they lost here before Christmas and I was at a loss to understand why. I have a great admiration for Tony and the wry way he rides the criticism leveled at his team. If anything the criticism galvanizes the players.
Saying that they "stick to what they do best" would almost be a backhanded compliment if I didn't know the source. Alex Ferguson has used this "tactic" of beating teams up consistently throughout his career. He's done it against Arsenal (same video from Tim's blog yesterday, ed.) and let's not forget that his team is full of cheating divers.
The last thing that Ferguson wants is for the FA to review anything Rooney does during a match, after the fact:
Now do you see why football can't have instant replay and can't let the FA retroactively review matches even if the player in question intentionally tried to harm a fellow professional? If you give a manager like Arsene Wenger the right to throw a flag and force the officials to make the right call through instant replay, clubs like Stoke, Man U, and Birmingham (the Good Old Boys) will be forced to play actual football rather than relying on referee intimidation to let them come out for 90 minutes and kick people off the pitch.
Giving someone like Wenger the power to actually have red cards called, offside goals rescinded, and dives called would take away the one tactic that all these teams employ on a daily basis; cheating. After all, they can't have these "Southern Softies" ruining the game they've held in sway since the end of the 19th century can they? There were no television cameras in 1890 when great clubs like Preston North End dominated world football. And if it was good enough for the 19th century, then it's good enough for the 21st century.
That's why Stoke, Man U, and Birmingham are so adamant that the FA kick red cards out of football.

AAPA applauds effort to expand and improve seaports
December 15, 2011
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced today that 46 transportation projects in 33 states and Puerto Rico will receive a total of $511 million from the third round of the U.S. Department of Transportation's popular TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grants program.
The Department of Transportation received 848 project applications requesting a total of $14.29 billion. Four of the 46 capital project funding requests selected for awards go directly to America's port-related infrastructure, totaling $62,238,246, or about 12 percent of the total $511,423,147 in capital grant funds available. Millions more go to projects that indirectly aid the efficient movement of goods to and from America's seaports.
"DOT Secretary LaHood has indicated on numerous occasions the value and importance of seaport-related infrastructure to America's overall transportation system and our nation's competitiveness in global trade," said American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) President and CEO Kurt Nagle. "We applaud this recognition of the critical role our nation's ports play and the federal support in TIGER III for seaports."
Nagle added that considering the "vast number of applications submitted for the relatively small pot of money available," he recognized there was a lot of competition for the limited funds.
"However, we will continue to advocate for a 25 percent share of future TIGER grants, which we believe is the appropriate amount since port infrastructure investments are one of the four eligible areas for the program,"??he said.
AAPA spokesman, Aaron Ellis echoed similar sentiments in an interview with LM:
"It's critical that our nation make the investments in transportation infrastructure today to ensure that we can support the movement of overseas and domestic cargo now and into the future," he said.
Since the program's inception as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, AAPA has been a strong supporter of the TIGER multimodal discretionary grant program. In the first round of TIGER grant awards, port-related infrastructure projects received only 8 percent of the original $1.5 billion. In the second round of grants, port-related infrastructure did better, garnering approximately 17 percent of the total $556.6 million in capital grant funds available.

March 11, 2008
Indianapolis, Ind. - Butler struggled to get things going offensively in the early going, as visiting Taylor took a 2-1 lead in the second inning and never looked back in claiming an 8-2 decision over the Bulldogs on Tuesday (March 11) at Bulldog Park.
The Bulldogs looked like they would take advantage of some first-inning wildness by the Taylor pitching staff, loading the bases with one down on a pair of walks and a hit batsman before Ryan Neat smoked a single to center to bring across Rick Betsch from third. The Trojans saved themselves a run on the play, cutting down Nate Hart trying to score from second, and escaped the inning with just one allowed after inducing a fly-out to end the frame.
Back-to-back singles and a sacrifice bunt put runners on second and third for Taylor in the second before Cassidy Emery lined a shot down the left field line that just hit on the chalk for a two-run double and a 2-1 Trojan lead.
Despite wildness from the Taylor pitchers, Butler would be unable to push another run across until the eighth, collecting just four hits over the next seven innings with no more than one in any of them.
Five straight hits in the seventh inning by Taylor, meanwhile, plated four runs and put the game all but out of reach.
Freshman Grant Fillipitch led the Bulldogs at the plate, collecting three of Butler's seven hits on the afternoon.
The Bulldogs return to action on Wednesday (March 12) when they host Indiana Tech beginning at 3:00 p.m. at Bulldog Park.

BETWEEN BOTH SHORES ver 2.0
A Glance Across the Landscapes of America
door The photography of Stewart Isbell
This book is an ongoing collection of photographs taken over the last decade while traveling around the continental United States. Sometimes the trips were for work & some were my own personal discoveries. During all of it, I wanted to document what I was experiencing and to show where I was with the same sense of grandeur, curiosity, or humor that I happened to find before me. This is the first time that I've stopped to pull together all the images from those trips and present them as one body of work. It's been fulfilling, but a surprisingly difficult task, trying to step back from my photos & the experiences that went along with them and see these past years collected into a single idea.
Between Both Shores.... is my look at who & what we are as a country... From Seattle to The Florida Keys, From Maine to the Salton Sea, it's been an interesting journey exploring our geography, nature, architecture, cultures, religion, politics, and life... There truly is a lot of diversity in this country, and I hope I'm able to show what I've experienced in a way that will intrigue you as much as it has me over the years. Thanks a lot, Stew
Stewart found his interest in photography at the young age of 15 while growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was always seen spending his time living in the darkroom, working on the yearbook or school newspaper. Those formative years solidified his goals of having career in photography. A few years later, he loaded up and followed his dreams to New York City to study at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. There he recieved his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography back in 2001. He began to shoot commercial assingments early on during his second year in school and things have taken off from there. These days Stewart finds himself living in Brooklyn with his wonderful wife Suzanne and little dog Sonya. His love has always been portraiture, but it's only a small portion of what has intrigued him about photography. The many personal projects he is always working on, mostly about his travels or life, always keeps him busy inbetween assignments.

SEVILLE, SPAIN: Spain's Rafael Nadal and Argentina's Juan Monaco will face each other in the opening rubber of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Final, which gets under way on Friday at the Olympic Stadium in Seville.
David Ferrer then meets Juan Martin del Potro in the second rubber, while Saturday's doubles match sees Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco take on David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank.
The draw ceremony took place at the Teatro Lope de Vega, a picturesque theatre in the centre of Seville, on Thursday. The full draw is listed below.
Friday - play starts at 14:00 (13:00 GMT)R1: Rafael Nadal v Juan MonacoR2: David Ferrer v Juan Martin del Potro
Saturday - play starts at 16:00 (15:00 GMT)R3: Feliciano Lopez / Fernando Verdasco v David Nalbandian / Eduardo Schwank
Sunday - play starts at 13:00 (12:00 GMT)R4: Rafael Nadal v Juan Martin del PotroR5: David Ferrer v Juan Monaco
There were no surprises when Spanish captain Albert Costa announced his line-up for the weekend, with world No. 2 Nadal and world No. 5 Ferrer forming a formidable partnership on the singles court and the regular pairing of Lopez and Verdasco teaming up in doubles, but the Argentine team is more intriguing.
Costa's opposite number, the wily Tito Vazquez, elected to bring in Schwank to replace the originally nominated Juan Ignacio Chela, and the doubles specialist goes straight into the side to partner Nalbandian.
The other big decision for Vazquez was who to pick behind del Potro as the second singles player, Monaco or Nalbandian. The Argentine captain went for Monaco on day one, but it would be no surprise if Nalbandian appears in the fifth rubber, should the tie go the distance.
Nadal and Monaco will be playing each other for the fourth time when they meet on Friday. The Spaniard has won their only two matches on clay in straight sets, but the Argentine did record a victory, of sorts, at the Cincinnati Masters in 2007 when Nadal was forced to retire injured in the second set.
Despite having the pressure well and truly on his shoulders, Nadal will be the firm favourite to get Spain off to a winning start at the Olympic Stadium. The six-time Roland Garros champion has only ever lost one best-of-five sets match on clay, against Robin Soderling in 2009, and his incredible Davis Cup singles record now stands at 18-1.
Monaco will be a dangerous opponent, though. The 27-year-old, currently ranked No. 26, has been in decent form of late after finishing runner-up in Valencia and reaching the quarterfinals at the Paris Masters. He has also played a key role in Argentina's run to this Final.
Ferrer versus del Potro looks likely to be a closer match-up, with two wins apiece in their four previous clashes. The Spaniard is Mr Consistent with an impressive 16-4 record in Davis Cup play, while the big serving Argentine is one of the most talented players in the men's game.
Del Potro won the US Open title in 2009, his maiden Grand Slam victory, but was ruled out with a wrist injury for much of the next 12 months. His return to form in 2011 has seen his world ranking rise from No. 258 at the start of the year to No. 11.
Saturday's doubles rubber also appears too close to call. The Spanish duo of Lopez and Verdasco are an experienced Davis Cup partnership, but they are hit and miss. Last time these two teams met, in the 2008 Final, the pair won a crucial match against Nalbandian and Agustin Calleri, but more recently against France in September they were hammered by Michael Llodra and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Nalbandian and Schwank are playing together in Davis Cup for the first time, although they both have winning records with other partners. Nalbandian stands at 11-5 in doubles play and Schwank at 3-1.
The reverse singles rubbers on Sunday are scheduled to see Nadal and del Potro face off in the battle of the No. 1s, followed by Ferrer against Monaco. However, if the destination of the Davis Cup is to be decided in the fifth rubber then popular opinion is that Nalbandian, who has coveted this competition his whole career, will be the man that Argentina turn to.
Live scores and live streaming of the Final will be available on the Davis Cup website, as well as live commentary on Davis Cup Radio.

Album: A.J. Aubrey & Meriden Fire Arms Co. "Millionaire's Gun for the Common People"
Albert James Aubrey was born in Meriden, Conn. in 1863 and in the 1880 census was working in a Meriden gun factory, likely Parker Bros. He was plant superintendent for the Wilkes-Barre Gun Co. in New York from 1890 until the company went into receivership in 1895, then a principle with Elmira Arms Co., and became the sole proprietor of Elmira Arms in Dec., 1895. In 1900 he was living in Norwich, Conn. and working for Colt. +++++ The Andrew Fyrberg & Sons plant in Worcester had contracted in 1899 to sell it's entire gun production to Sears, and shortly thereafter Richard Sears purchased an interest in the firm. Fryberg made guns marked "Chicago Arms Co." sold by Sears and also Fred Biffar Hardware Co. of Chicago. The 1902 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog lists the $15.75 Chicago Long Range WONDER hammerless double and the single barrel Long Range WINNER "BUILT IN OUR OWN FACTORY under the direct supervision of one of the most skilled gun makers in America and his two sons, expert gun machinists, gun and tool makers in Worcester, Mass." There were also several guns with different American Gun Co. names (made by Crescent in Norwich and owned by H&D Folsom) including the Bar Lock All American. Other Crescent or Davenport made WONDER guns were the White Powder Wonder, Gold Medal Wonder, and the American Bar Lock Wonder. That same year, Fyrberg moved production to an old shoe factory in Hopkinton, Mass. and the guns were listed in 1905 as made by the "Hopkinton Fire Arms Co.". +++++ Sears used "Wilson's Welded Steel" and "Taper Choke Bored" on guns made by Crescent, Fryberg, and Colton. +++++ In 1904, Richard Sears bought Fyrberg's interest, named Aubrey as General Manager, and in January of 1905 moved the machinists and machinery to the vacant Malleable Iron Co. building on North Colony St. in Meriden. Aubrey became Vice President and General Manager for the Sears, Roebuck & Company's firearms operation in Meriden and 8 patents were eventually assigned to him. Fred Biffar, Chicago, was President. Aubrey's brother Alfred was hired to run the pistol manufacturing division. In 1905, the Meriden Fire Arms Co. started manufacturing hammerless and hammer double barrel shotguns marked The A.J. Aubrey, single barrel shotguns, revolvers (some under Howard Arms Co.), and rifles. Sears TRADE NAMES included The New England, Utica Special, NY Utica Special, Warner Arms Corp Brooklyn, Gibraltar, Challenge, Gladiator, and Berkshire. +++++ A.J. was made President and General Manager in 1907, but in a corporate reorganization in 1910 was replaced by James K. Williams. The Aubrey tradename continued to appear in Sears catalogs along side the Meriden name for several years after Aubrey's departure, including the "New Aubrey" hammer gun. In 1920, A.J. is in Santa Clara, CA employed in Sporting Goods and in the 1930 census was listed as a "gun maker." He died in San Mateo Feb. 3, 1947. +++++ Sears catalog No. 124 of 1912 listed the No. 58 Diamond Grade Meriden Hammerless for $38; No. 55 Tournament Grade Aubrey Double for $26.45; No. 18 Decarbonized for $13.85, No. 20 Twist & No. 22 Damascus Field Grade Aubrey Double; No. 30 Twist & No. 34 Damascus Aubrey Latest Model Hammerless; No. 35 Meriden Ejector with Krupp barrels for $22.98; No. 52 Engraved Aubrey Hammerless with Damascus for $22.25; No. 82 Decarbonized for $12.59, No. 84 "full finished Liege Twist" for $13.50, and No. 85 Damascus Aubrey Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun for $15; and the No. 97 Meriden Hammer Shotgun with Damascus for $19.50. The Ithaca Field Grade with Smokeless Steel was $19, Baker New Batavia Leader with Twist $21.50, and Smith 00 with Armor Steel $25. +++++ The 1914 catalog listed the following firearms: Meriden Double Hammerless No.30, No.50, No.60 & No.80, Meriden Double Hammer Gun No.170, No.180 & No.190, Meriden Repeating Hammerless Shotgun No.280, Meriden Hammerless Repeating Rifle Model 15 No.215, Meriden Model 10 Rifle Take-down No.210, Meriden Model 6 Rifle Take-down No.206, Meriden 10 Ga. Single Hammer Shotgun No.230, Meriden Single Hammer Shotgun Automatic Ejector No.240 & No 250, Meriden Single Barrel Hammerless Automatic Ejector No.260 & Meriden Revolvers automatic ejector and hammerless. +++++ Another line of much higher grade guns were manufactured called "THE MERIDEN GUN." The 1910 Meriden Firearms Co. catalog shows the following grades - A with Whitworth, Krupp, or 6-blade damascus for $250 with AE, B with Krupp or 6-blade for $185 with AE, C with Krupp or 4-blade for $110 with AE, D "Trap Gun" with Krupp or 3-blade for $90 with AE, E "Quail Gun" with Krupp and ONLY 16G for $60 (no AE offered), F with Krupp or 3-blade for $60 with AE, G with Krupp for $40. Production of these guns was apparently quite limited as very few are found today. It is not known if the intended market for these more expensive models may have been Fred Biffar's company or other national dealers. +++++ In 1916 the manufacturing facility was sold to New England Westinghouse, possibly because Westinghouse had just received a contract to produce Mosen Nagant rifles and bayonets for Russia. Some guns were produced in another facility on Center Street in Meriden until 1918 when Sears announced that the Meriden Fire Arms Company would discontinue the manufacture of sporting guns, after an estimated total of 80,000 side-by-side shotguns had been produced.
Aubrey shotguns in the 1906 Sears catalog started at $13.85 and went up to $69.00 depending on grade and engraving. The cheapest had Twist or "Armory steel" barrels and the most expensive had 6 blade Damascus. They were advertised as having "all the improvements found on other guns as well as some that are not found on other makes" and were the pride of the Sears line with a 60 day free trial and a 20 year guarantee. All were 12g sidelock double guns with either 30" or 32" barrels and POW stocks. Model 18 AS- line engraving Laminated- 13.85 20 AT- line engraving Armory Steel- 14.85 22 AD- line engraving 2-blade Damascus- 17.35 30 ALE- leaf engraving Laminated- 16.35 34 ADE- leaf engraving 2-blade- 18.85 50 ASE- fine line scroll and game scene Laminated- 19.35 52 DSE- fine line scroll and game scene 2-blade- 22.35 56 engraved 3-blade- 29.75 58 engraved 4-blade- 39.75 60 made to order 5-blade- 49.75 62 made to order 6-blade- 69.00 +++++ In 1908 the fluid steel barrel Meriden hammer gun (marketed as the AJ Aubrey at that time) sold for $12.59, $1.00 more for twist barrels. A hammerless LC Smith with fluid steel barrels, sold by Sears that same year was priced at $25.00 compared to the $13.85 for hammerless Meriden made gun. +++++ 1909 Catalog #118: Aubrey Engraved Hammerless "12-gauge double barrel, full engraved, hammerless, quadruple lock action, (extractor), breech loading shotgun made by the Meriden Fire Arms Company of Meriden, Connecticut, a factory owned, controlled and operated by us, designed, modeled by and built under the direct personal supervision of Mr. A.J.

Smith Grade 2 Damascus - $56.00) RECEIVERS were marked S-Steel barrels, T-Twist, K-Krupp, D-Damascus, and C-Chain Damascus. +++++ FROM THE 1908 CATALOG: "Shooting qualities- As before explained, the shooting qualities of these guns are unequaled for long distance killing, long range shooting, for penetration, pattern or target. Both barrels are full choke bore, so firmly constructed that unlike other guns, there is no recoil or kicking. That which in other guns goes into recoil in the A J Aubrey gun goes to give greater force to the shot." +++++ FROM THE 1916 CATALOG, offering the Meriden Tournament Grade for $26.45 and the Diamond Grade at $38.50: "Two Meriden Hammerless Guns in which an especially high degree of perfection in all details of strength, balance and beauty of design has been attained, guns which can be classed among the finest product of world renowned American skill in gun manufacture." +++++ RESOURCES: +++ Meriden Fire Arms Company website http://www.meridenfirearms.com/index.html +++ "The Double Gun Journal" Vol. 1, Issue 4, 1990 by Charles Carder; Vol. 6, Issue 3, 1995; Vol. 16, Issue 2, 2005 by James Tyson; Vol. 21, Issue 1, 2010. +++ Pete Mikalajunas maintains a listing of serial numbers in an attempt to identify dates of manufacture http://damascus-barrels.com/Aubrey.html +++++ Sears 1912 catalog No. 124 - https://archive.org/stream/catalogno12400sear#page/889/mode/1up +++++ SPECIAL THANKS to Daryl Hallquist and to Doug Craig for the 1908 Sears, Roebuck & Co.

Check out the pictures http://www.americancyclery.com/PHOTOS/
The posters and esp. the racing photos are great. Figure the most recent is from 50 years ago and many are from 70+ years ago. I have occasionally heard about 6 Day Racing in the US but have never seen so many photos in one collection before. Most of the vintage bikes I post about are from my early riding days. This is from a time well before that and now completelt absent from the US sports scene. Very cool stuff.
I got the link from the Classic Renezvous list and hope the shop owners don't mind their links being spread around as I, at least, think it's a great resource for us lovers of the vintage stuff.

LOUISVILLE – Ryan Ratliff grimaced as the cushioning in the high jump pit enveloped him.
He had just nicked the crossbar enough to dislodge it for the third time at 6-04 to go out of the state Class 3A Track and Field meet Saturday at the University of Louisville.
The field wasn't the only thing sloppy at Collins High School on Thursday night.
Anderson County (14-15, 5-1 in the district) took advantage of several early miscues by the Titans (18-6, 5-1) and then held on for a 10-7 victory and the 30th District Championship.
"I was really proud of the way we came out early and played small ball, put the pressure on and capitalized off their mistakes," coach L.W. Barnes said. "
Anderson County scored twice in the bottom of the fifth and twice more in the bottom of the sixth to break open a close game and cruise past pesky Spencer County in the 30th District tournament semi-final.
Anderson advances to the district championship game and to the Eighth Region tournament with a 13-15 record.
Check back for more details as they become available.
Collins scored four unearned runs in the top of the first inning and that was all the Lady Titans would need to defeat Anderson County 4-0 in the semi-finals of the 30th District softball tournament at Shelby County Tuesday night.
"It was nerves," said Anderson coach Brian Glass.
There was no other way to describe the way a team that had won five straight and seven of nine played against a team it had beaten twice in the regular season. But Collins turned a walk, a hit batter and an error into a first inning disaster for Anderson.
LEXINGTON – Ryan Ratliff was not going to leave anything to chance on Saturday.
The Anderson County senior turned in what might have been his best performance ever when he easily cleared 6-06 to outlast Paul Dunbar's Lamont Johnson and win the Class 3A, Region 6 high jump at Bryan Station High School.
Nervous in his last chance at an elusive state championship?
"Not really," Ratliff said. "At least not until 6-06."
Anderson County basketball coach Glen Drury said his first weekend of working with the Kentucky All-Stars was a good one.
"They played hard and they played together," he said of the three-day mini-camp, held in Louisville over the weekend. "Our intra-squad scrimmage on Sunday was excellent."
Drury is leading one of the strongest Kentucky teams in recent years against a loaded Indiana group in the summer series that is sometimes called "The World Series of High School Basketball."
The Kentucky Boys' High School All-Stars will be conducting a public scrimmage at Anderson County High School on Monday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m.
The Kentucky team, led by Mr. Basketball and LSU signee Anthony Hickey of Christian County, will be scrimmaging the Kentucky Junior All-Stars in preparation for the annual summer series against Indiana.
It just does not seem possible that another year has come and gone.
No, the calendar has not changed, but when you head up the sports coverage of a newspaper in a town whose sports are a dominant theme, your year runs from Aug. 15 to about May 30. Your calendar is the school calendar.
Actually, some members of the Anderson County track team will be competing in the state meet Saturday in Louisville and the Anderson County baseball and softball teams were alive at press time, but both were expected to have tough matchups Tuesday night.
I am pretty sure most of you out there are like me and are tired of all the rain.
I know the folks with river properties are, whether it be here along the Kentucky, along our northern border with Ohio or in far west Kentucky's Mississippi River shores. Let's keep all these folks in our prayers as they continue to battle the forces of nature whether it is from water, tornadoes or anything else uprooting their lives.
This week in Anderson County Sports
Anderson County High School
Wednesday, May 25: 30th District Tournament championship game at Spencer County High School, 6 p.m.
Monday, May 30: Eighth Region Tournament begins at Simon Kenton High School, TBA
