NEWS ALERT President Bush rejects calls for windfall profits tax on oil companies.
The windfall tax is this, can you fathom why Oil-Money-George is against it?
What more do we need to know about the rising price of gasoline? Profits are soaring to all time highs while oil companies raise prices with impunity. Oil runs the White House, puts us into war, runs geopolitics, frustrates the development of alternative energy, ruins the environment. What will it take for the Congress to wake up? $5 a gallon?
There is a short term, effective solution: The Gas Price Spike Act of 2005. This bill exacts a 100% windfall profits tax on oil companies on excessive profits. The money gained from the windfall profits tax would be put into a fund for tax breaks for the purchase of ultra-efficient vehicles made in the US. Money would also be made available for mass transit assistance. Review the bill and its sponsors here.
Only a 100% windfall profits tax will cause the oil companies to stop their aggressive pricing which is destroying the budgets of millions of American families. I need your help to wake up the Congress and pass this legislation.
And this:
Bush: Raise fuel-efficiency standards
Rising gas prices spur action from both sides in Congress
Thursday, April 27, 2006; Posted: 11:13 p.m. EDT (03:13 GMT)
President Bush speaks to motorists at a gas station Thursday in Biloxi, Mississippi.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Thursday said he wants to raise fuel-efficiency standards on automobiles, as members of both parties jockeyed for political position on the issue of rising gas prices.
What a ....ing .......... he is.
"Gas prices got you down? Clearly, you just need a new, more efficient car and all of your worries go away!"

I'll be in the Clemson, SC area from the 23rd of June to July 1st.
I'll have my bike with me, and would love to race while in SC.
I've been able to locate only 1 race within reasonable driving distance - the Summer series on the 28th in Greer (about an hour's drive) @ the BMW Performance Center.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to local racing in the area for that time period?

Funding Opportunity Number: PRM-PRMOAPGL-14-005-049606
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number:
19.522 - Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities
Announcement issuance date: Friday, June 6, 2014
Proposal submission deadline: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: Friday, July 18, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. noon EDT. Proposals submitted after this deadline will not be considered.
**ADVISORY: All applicants must submit proposals through the website Grants.gov NOT through GrantsSolutions.gov. Please note that if you apply on the GrantSolutions.gov site, your application will be disqualified. PRM strongly recommends submitting your proposal early to allow time to address any difficulties that may arise.**
If you are new to PRM funding, the Grants.gov registration process can be complicated. We urge you to refer to PRM's General NGO Guidelines "New to PRM Funding" section for information and resources to help ensure that the application process runs smoothly. PRM also strongly encourages organizations that have received funding from PRM in the past to read this section as a refresher.
Proposed program start dates: September 1, 2014
Eligible Applicants: (1) Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (2) Nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; (3) International Organizations. International multilateral organizations, such as United Nations agencies, should not submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement. Multilateral organizations that are seeking funding for programs relevant to this announcement should contact the PRM Program Officer (as listed below) on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
Duration of Activity: 12 to 24 months. Program plans from 12 to 24 months will be considered. Applicants may submit multi-year proposals with activities and budgets that do not exceed 24 months from the proposed start date. Actual awards will not exceed 12 months in duration and activities and budgets submitted in year one can be revised/updated each year. Proposals should be focused enough to achieve concrete results in a 12-24 month period. The rationale for requiring two years' worth of funding must be clearly explained in the application. Proposals should include a strong transition and learning dissemination plan and describe how capacity will be developed that lasts beyond the life of the project. Continued funding after the initial 12-month award requires the submission of a noncompeting continuation application and will be contingent upon available funding, strong performance, and continuing need. In funding a project one year, PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of donors to ensure long-term funding possibilities. Please see Multi-Year Funding section below for additional information.
Current Funding Priorities for Gender Based Violence (GBV) Prevention and Response: Recognizing continued shortcomings across the humanitarian system on GBV prevention and response, particularly at the the earliest stages of a crisis, PRM together with USAID/DCHA launched Safe from the Start in 2013 to better address these gaps. The goal of Safe from the Start is to reduce the incidence of GBV and ensure quality services for survivors from the very onset of emergencies through timely and effective humanitarian action. Building on Safe from the Start's initial investments in the capacity of international organizations to address GBV, PRM is now seeking Safe from the Start proposals from NGOs to (1) strengthen prevention and response to GBV at the earliest stages of one or more acute refugee emergencies, and (2) develop and disseminate learning from those experiences to the wider humanitarian community.
For more information on Safe from the Start and the Call to Action, please visit: http://www.state.gov/j/prm/policyissues/issues/c62377.htm.
For this announcement, applicants may propose activities in one or more countries experiencing acute refugee emergencies (e.g., countries hosting refugees from Syria, South Sudan, or Central African Republic, i.e., situations other than protracted refugee emergencies) through establishing new programs OR scaling up current programs to address the needs of new arrivals. PRM can only support programs that have a beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees. Successful proposals will involve activities designed to address immediate GBV prevention and response needs of newly arrived refugees, consistent with the objectives of Safe from the Start, and also contribute to global knowledge and capacity to address these issues in future emergencies. Activities should include a focus on GBV prevention/risk mitigation activities and access to comprehensive services for survivors. Activities should aim to target newly arrived refugees. Proposals may include capacity-building elements, including for national civil society organizations, or government entities where appropriate, and may also involve promoting preparedness for future emergencies. Proposals should include activities to evaluate lessons learned from the project and promote learning and good practices across the humanitarian community. Proposals may also involve targeted efforts to strengthen GBV risk mitigation across other humanitarian sectors (e.g., health, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), shelter, etc.) within the proposed locations.
NOTE: GBV is an umbrella term covering a range of abuses perpetrated against individuals based on gender and gender norms, including (but not limited to) sexual violence, sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), female genital mutilation/cutting, domestic or intimate partner violence, and violence related to sexual orientation or gender identify (SOGI). PRM continues to support country/regional programming that targets and integrates GBV prevention and response activities. This opportunity is meant to supplement and support – not replace – ongoing PRM-funded GBV programming in different regions by developing learning and best practices at the onset of an emergency. (See PRM Regional Funding Opportunity Announcements for examples of how PRM integrates GBV activities into regional programming.)
Programming Criteria: Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and conflict-affected populations, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees, with the rest of beneficiaries comprising of other conflict-affected populations (e.g., IDPs, host communities, etc.).
Proposals must have a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound, and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and include at least one outcome or impact indicator per objective.
Proposals must adhere to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance. See PRM's General NGO Guidelines for a complete list of sector-specific standards including new guidance on proposals for projects in urban areas.
Given budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate:
PRM strongly encourages programs that target the needs of potentially vulnerable and underserved groups among the beneficiary population (women; children; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex (LGBTI) individuals; older persons; the sick; persons with disabilities; and other minorities) and can demonstrate what steps have been taken to meet the specific and unique protection and assistance needs of these vulnerable groups effectively. NOTE: PRM partners must now complete a gender analysis (see PRM proposal template, section 3a) that briefly analyzes (1) gender dynamics within the target population (i.e., roles, power dynamics, and different needs of men and women, girls and boys); (2) associated risks and implementation challenges for the project posed by those dynamics; and (3) how program activities will mitigate these protection risks and be made accessible to vulnerable groups (particularly women and girls). A gender analysis is a requirement prior to PRM making a final funding award.
If the proposal focuses on activities which include the provision of health care or livelihood activities, please be aware that these components should follow the guidelines of the PRM Standardized Indicator Initiative:
Health: Proposals with relevant activities related to health are encouraged to include one or more of the following indicators:
When relevant, proposals should include custom health indicators in addition to the relevant standardized indicator(s).
Key Resources – Health
Livelihoods: Proposals with relevant activities related to livelihoods are encouraged to include one or more of the following indicators:
Camp-Based/Returnee Settings:
When relevant, proposals should include custom livelihoods indicators in addition to the relevant standardized indicator(s).
Key Resources – Livelihoods
Local Economic Recovery in Post-Conflict: Guidelines. Geneva: ILO, 2010.
Funding Limits: Project proposals must not be more than $800,000 per year or they will be disqualified. As stated in PRM's General NGO Guidelines, PRM looks favorably on cost-sharing efforts and seeks to support projects with a diverse donor base and/or resources from the submitting organization.
Proposal Submission Requirements: Proposals must be submitted via Grants.gov (not via GrantSolutions.gov). If you are new to PRM funding, the Grants.gov registration process can be complicated. We urge you to refer to PRM's General NGO Guidelines "New to PRM Funding" section for information and resources to help ensure that the application process runs smoothly. PRM also strongly encourages organizations that have received funding from PRM in the past to read this section as a refresher. Applicants may also refer to the "Applicant Resources" page on Grants.gov for complete details on requirements (http://test.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/applicant-resources.html).
Please note the following highlights:
Proposal Content, Formatting and Template: This announcement is designed to accompany PRM's General NGO Guidelines, which contain additional administrative information on proposal content and formatting, and explain in detail PRM's NGO funding strategy and priorities. Please use both the General NGO Guidelines and this announcement to ensure that your proposal submission is in full compliance with PRM requirements and that the proposed activities are in line with PRM's priorities. Proposal submissions that do not meet all of the requirements outlined in these guidelines will not be considered.
PRM strongly recommends using the proposal and budget templates that are available upon email request from PRM's NGO Coordinator. Please send an email, with the phrase "PRM NGO Templates" in the subject line, to PRM's NGO Coordinator. Single-year proposals using PRM's templates must be no more than 20 pages in length (Times New Roman 12 point font, one inch margins on all sides). If the applicant does not use PRM's recommended templates, proposals must not exceed 15 pages in length. Organizations may choose to attach work plans, activity calendars, and/or logical frameworks as addendums/appendices to the proposal. These attachments do not count toward the page limit total however annexes cannot be relied upon as a key source of program information. The proposal narrative must be able to stand on its own in the application process.
To be considered for PRM funding, organizations must submit a complete application package including:
In addition, proposal submissions to PRM should include the following information:
Multi-Year Funding: Applicants proposing multi-year programs should adhere to the following guidance:
Applicants may submit proposals that include multi-year strategies presented in 12-month cycles for a period not to exceed 24 months from the proposed start date. Fully developed programs with detailed budgets, objectives and indicators are required for each year of activities. These can be updated yearly upon submission of continuation applications. Applicants should note that they may use PRM's recommended multi-year proposal template for this application, which is different from the single year template. Multi-year funding applicants may also use PRM's standard budget template and should submit a separate budget sheet for each project year. Multi-year proposals using PRM's templates must be no more than 30 pages in length (Times New Roman 12 point font, one inch margins on all sides). If the applicant does not use PRM's recommended templates, proposals must not exceed 25 pages in length. Organizations may choose to attach work plans, activity calendars, and/or logical frameworks as addendums/appendices to the proposal. These attachments do not count toward the page limit total.
Multi-year applications selected for funding by PRM will be funded in 12- month increments based on the proposal submitted in the initial application as approved by PRM. Continued funding after the initial 12- month award requires the submission of a noncompeting continuation application and will be contingent upon available funding, strong performance, and continuing need. Continuation applications must be submitted by the organization no later than 90 days before the proposed start date of the new award (e.g., if the next project period is to begin on September 1, submit your application by June 1). Continuation applications are submitted in lieu of responding to PRM's published call for proposals for those activities. Late continuation applications will jeopardize continued funding.
Organizations can request multi-year funding and continuation application templates by emailing PRM's NGO Coordinator with the phrase "PRM NGO Templates" in the subject line.
Reports and Reporting Requirements:
Program reporting: PRM requires quarterly and final program reports describing and analyzing the results of activities undertaken during the validity period of the agreement. It is highly suggested that NGOs receiving PRM funding use the PRM recommended program report template. To request this template, send an email with the phrase "PRM NGO Templates" in the subject line to PRM's NGO Coordinator.
Financial Reports: Financial reports are required within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year quarter during the validity period of the agreement; a final financial report covering the entire period of the agreement is required within ninety (90) days after the expiration date of the agreement.
For more details regarding reporting requirements please see PRM's General NGO Guidelines.
Proposal Review Process: PRM will conduct a formal competitive review of all proposals submitted in response to this funding announcement. A review panel will evaluate submissions based on the above-referenced proposal evaluation criteria and PRM priorities in the context of available funding.
PRM may request revised proposals and/or budgets based on feedback from the panel. PRM will provide formal notifications to NGOs of final decisions taken by Bureau management.
Assistance Award Provision – SPOT: The following provisions will be included in the Bureau specific component of the Notice of Award for performance in a designated combat area (currently Iraq and Afghanistan). Recipients are required to include this provision in any sub-grant awards or agreements.
(Revised January 2011)
All recipient personnel deploying to areas of combat operations, as designated by the Secretary of Defense (currently Iraq and Afghanistan), under grants over $100,000 or performance over 30 days must register in the Department of Defense maintained Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) system. Recipients of federal assistance awards shall register in SPOT before deployment, or if already in the designated operational area, register upon becoming an employee under the assistance award and maintain current data in SPOT. Information on how to register in SPOT is available from your Grants Officer or Grants Officer Representative.
Recipients must enter all U.S. and Third Country National (TCN) personnel into SPOT. If the Recipient has concerns about the safety of locally hired Iraqi or Afghan personnel because of personal data entered into SPOT, arrangements may be made with the Grants Officer or the Grants Officer Representative to report anonymous aggregate data.
Locally-hired Iraqi or Afghan personnel can be added anonymously through the use of the aggregate count template except as noted in the following paragraph.
Recipients utilizing personnel who are performing a private security function; are performing duties as a translator or interpreter; require access to U.S. facilities, services, or support; or desire consideration for refugee or special immigrant status under the Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act of 2007 (subtitle C of title XII of Public Law 110–181) must be entered into SPOT individually with all required personal information. If a locally-hired Iraqi or Afghan national falls into one of these categories, the Recipient must enter all of the required identification data into SPOT.
When the Grantee is ready to enter locally-hired individuals using the Aggregate Count method, the Grantee will notify the Grants Officer who will contact the Department SPOT Program Manager (A/LM/AQM) to obtain the "Aggregate Count" template. The Grantee will complete the "Aggregate Count" template and return to the SPOT Program Manager who will ensure that aggregate counts are loaded into SPOT. The Grantee SPOT Administrator is responsible for updating the aggregate locally hired national count on a quarterly basis by providing updated information via the "Aggregate Count" As template to the GOR/GO for each award who will forward to the Department SPOT Program Manager for SPOT entry.
Recipient performance may require the use of armed private security personnel. To the extent that such private security contractors (PSCs) are required, grantees are required to ensure they adhere to Chief of Mission (COM) policies and procedures regarding the operation, oversight, and accountability of PSCs. In a designated area of combat operations, the term PSC includes any personnel providing protection of the personnel, facilities, property of a grantee or subgrantee at any level, or performing any other activity for which personnel are required to carry weapons in the performance of their duties.
As specific COM policies and procedures may differ in scope and applicability, recipients of federal assistance awards are advised to review post policies and procedures carefully in this regard and direct any questions to the Embassy Regional Security Office (RSO) via the Grants Officer Representative (GOR). Any exclusion to these policies must be granted by the COM via the RSO. COM policies and procedures may be obtained from the RSO via the GOR. Recipients of federal assistance awards are also advised that these policies and procedures may be amended from time to time at the post in response to changing circumstances.
Recipients of federal assistance awards are advised that adherence to these policies and procedures are considered to be a material requirement of their grant.
Recipients of federal assistance awards are reminded that only the Grants Officer has the authority to modify the Notice of Award. Recipients shall proceed with any security guidance provided by the RSO, but shall advise the Grants Officer and the GOR of the guidance received and any potential cost or schedule impact.
Applicant Vetting as a Condition of Award: Applicants for activities in Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, Lebanon, Philippines, and Ukraine are advised that successful passing of vetting to evaluate the risk that funds may benefit terrorists or their supporters is a condition of award. Applicants may be asked to submit information required by DS Form 4184, Risk Analysis Information about their company and its principal personnel. Vetting information is also required for all subaward performance on assistance awards identified by DOS as presenting a risk of terrorist financing. When vetting information is requested by the Grants Officer, information may be submitted on the secure web portal at https://ramportal.state.gov, via email to email@example.com, or hardcopy to the Grants Officer. Questions about the form may be emailed to email@example.com. Failure to submit information when requested, or failure to pass vetting, may be grounds for rejecting your proposal. The following clause shall be included in Section 9, Special Award Conditions, or as an addendum to the solicitation, whenever assistance is awarded after vetting:
Branding and Marking Strategy: Unless exceptions have been approved by the designated bureau Authorizing Official as described in the proposal templates that are available upon email request from PRM's NGO Coordinator, at a minimum, the following provision will be included whenever assistance is awarded:
PRM Point of Contact: Should NGOs have technical questions related to this announcement, they should contact the PRM staff listed below prior to proposal submission. Please note that responses to technical questions from PRM do not indicate a commitment to fund the program discussed.
PRM Program Officer: Liz Drew, firstname.lastname@example.com, 202-453-9359, Washington, D.C.

A lifeless newborn baby is found discarded in a motel Dumpster. Authorities quickly arrest the infant's teenage parents, charging them with murder. Did Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson, in fact, murder their own baby? Tammy Wynette died suddenly at a relatively young age, and yet no autopsy was performed? Was someone trying to hide the real cause of death? Did Sam Sheppard (later dubbed "The Fugitive" based on a television series) really kill his wife? And if not, who committed the murder?
Things are not always as they appear, as world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht shows in this riveting behind-the-scenes look at nine famous cases. In the nationally known baby case involving Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson, Dr. Wecht reviews the evidence and comes to a startling conclusion. In fascinating detail, he demonstrates how the tools of forensic pathology often uncover murky, long-hidden secrets that crack seemingly unsolvable crimes. Writing in the first-person Dr. Wecht leads you into the heart of the investigation, focusing each chapter on a single engrossing drama. He reveals the most startling evidence that shows why JonBenet Ramsey's killer most likely came from within her home, why O.J. Simpson probably had an accomplice in the murder of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, shocking revelations about Robert Berdella's grisly torture and sex-abuse crimes against young men, and many intriguing facts about other infamous cases.
If you find the fictional plots of such dramas as" C.S.I." exciting, you will be amazed by the true stories told by Dr. Wecht, with the help of two top-flight veteran reporters, Greg Saitz and Mark Curriden, in this amazing real-life thriller. As this intriguing page-turner proves, the science of forensic pathology has changed the face of detective work forever.
About the Author
Steven A Koehler, MPh, PhD, is head of the Forensic Epidemiological Department at the Allegheny County Coroners Office in Pennsylvania. He teaches epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh.
Cyril H. Wecht, MD, JD, is one of the leading forensic pathologists in the United States. He is the author of several cutting-edge forensic books, including "Grave Secrets" and the highly successful "Crime Scene Investigation," and has frequently appeared on television.
Greg Saitz (Parsippany, NJ), for many years a crime and court reporter for The (Newark) Star Ledger, now works on the business desk.
Curriden is the legal affairs writer for the Dallas Morning News.
Praise For…
"Dr. Cyril Wecht has brilliantly fused his skills as a forensic pathologist, attorney and author to show how the world of forensic science is used and misused by prosecutors, defense attorneys, police and expert witnesses. Mortal Evidence is a primer on how the criminal justice system really works."
-Dr. Michael M. Baden, Forensic Pathologist and
former Chief Medical Examiner, New York City
"Wecht is a master. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions - regarding Jon Benet Ramsey, Ted Binion, Sam Sheppard or OJ Simpson - you ignore his findings at great peril. In Mortal Evidence, Wecht brings back the dead and has them testify from the grave."
-Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School
"Each case leaves a chilling feeling as Dr. Wecht examines the footsteps of what each killer or killers may have done in some of America's most notorious crimes ... As always, Dr. Wecht finds the clues that others overlook."
-Greta Van Susteren, Host of Fox News Channel's "On the Record"

About IHSAA
The Ithaca High School Alumni Association was established in 2003 as part of the effort to produce an updated version of the 1996 IHS Alumni Directory, Ithaca's first such directory. A small group of Ithaca area alumni gathered several times during the production period to make plans for establishing an official alumni organization. Over the months we discovered numerous hurdles to be overcome. Undaunted, we sailed blithely on.
With the seriously underpaid efforts of Joe Scaglione ('81), we developed a website and managed to stay afloat for a couple of years. Many did come to us. However, the site became very time-consuming and difficult to maintain for the few who were working to keep it going. When we were just about ready to jump ship, along came Matt Clark of Gorges Websites. This website is the result, and we are hoping the alumni of IHS will join and become an active (and interactive) part of the effort -- a team effort to keep IHSAA alive.

At a time when his contemporaries are doing one film a year, Akshay Kumar has six releases lined up but the actor says he would prefer a few months' gap between his releases.
Akshay has 'Holiday', 'It's Entertainment', 'Gabbar', 'Baby', 'Shaukeen' and 'Singh Is Bling' - lined up for release in next 12 months. His last film 'Boss' released in October last year.
The actor says though it would be ideal to have some gap between his films, he leaves the final decision on his producers.
"Every producer comes up with a date and has a mindset. I would prefer a gap of at least five months between my films. But, ultimately it is the producer's decision when to release the film. I can surely manipulate them (producers).
"Lot of actors do it by saying 'I will not dub for the film.' An actor can control it but I have never ever manipulated in my career. I have always allowed my producers to take the call," Akshay said in an interview here.
The 46-year-old actor, popular for his 'Khiladi' series, tries to convince the producers to make changes in the release date but says the decision is ultimately left to them.
"I told Reliance Entertainment and producer Vipul Shah to release 'Holiday' in January or March but they decided to release it in June. After three months, 'It's Entertainment' will release, produced by Tips Industries Ltd. I had asked producers to change the release date but they think releasing the film in August is apt," he said.
"I cannot argue or dictate terms with them. I try and keep myself aside from having a conflict with producers as they know their job well. Also, they put in crores in a film.
They must be doing some study on when to release the film," he added.
Akshay's next film 'Holiday' is slated to release on June 6. He plays the role of an Army officer in it.
"The film is about sleeper cells - special terrorists who blend into society so well that no one realises who they are. 'Holiday' is an amazing film on what terrorism is all about and how army tries to capture sleeper cells," he said.
"In the film, some army officers return home on a holiday and realise that the enemy is not only at the border but there are enemies inside their cities and villages," he said.
The action-thriller is a remake of a 2012

A literary tour of London
nepal Walking toward the George Inn on a drizzly evening, yellow light from its bustling Parliament Bar spilling out on wet cobblestones, it's easy to imagine the ghostly footsteps of the past.
Is that a double-decker bus rumbling down the Borough High Street? Or a four-in-hand carriage sweeping into the inn's cobbled yard? And those commuters hurrying toward London Bridge — could one be an anxious Nancy bravely spiriting Oliver Twist to safety?
London is the kind of place where past and present, fiction and real-life swirl together in an ever-changing kaleidoscope. Which is why a fun way to explore the nooks and crannies of this sprawling city is to take a novel approach and look for places featured in your favorite books, or for the real-life hangouts of writers you admire.
Your choices are as varied as the many authors linked to London, but here are a few suggestions to get you started.
Look up a lexicon legend
"If a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," wrote author, critic and lexicographer Samuel Johnson, whose many pithy quotes also include "No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money."
But did you know that Johnson worked as a hack writer to support himself before making it big with "A Dictionary of the English Language" in 1755? You'll learn about that and more — including his fondness for cats — at Dr. Johnson's House, a small but charming museum set in the 300-year-old townhouse where he lived. A statue of one of Johnson's cats, Hodge, sits in the courtyard in front of the house, while inside the collection includes 18th- and 19th-century prints as well as paintings, several manuscripts and porcelain from the period.
If you are in need of refreshment, stroll around the corner to the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub on Fleet Street. Don't be thrown off by the name, which sounds a little like the kind of place you might find in the food court of an American mall. This is the real deal: A tavern has been on the property since 1538, and what's there now was rebuilt after the previous one burned down in the Great Fire of London in 1666. It's associated with several literary figures, including Dickens.
Dickens of a time
Charles Dickens might be the quintessential London author. He lived here, worked here, campaigned for social justice here and set many famous scenes here.
A good starting point is 48 Doughty St., the house where Dickens lived and wrote from 1837 to 1839. His first two children were born here and this is where he wrote "Oliver Twist" and "Nicholas Nickleby." The house, near the Russell Square Underground station, is now home to the Charles Dickens Museum, which recently reopened after a major renovation. There are audio guides, a learning center and cafe and numerous artifacts, including the author's writing desk and chair.
About a 20-minute walk from Doughty Street is St. Paul's Cathedral, mentioned in several books and the place where David Copperfield took Clara Peggoty to show her the view of London from the top. Renovation work has closed the Golden Gallery at the top of the dome until the end of this month, but you can climb as far as the Whispering Gallery and try out its famous acoustics. You can get here by the Tube, taking Russell Square to St. Paul's, which requires a change from the Piccadilly to Central line at Holborn.
From St. Paul's it's about a 15-minute stroll to London Bridge, which spans the Thames River. In Dickens' "Great Expectations," Pip crossed the bridge in great despair after learning that Estella was to be married to Drummle. In "Oliver Twist," Nancy met with Mr. Brownlow on the bridge to conspire for Oliver's safety. Of course, if you want to stand on the actual bridge from the 1830s, you'll have to go to Lake Havasu City, Ariz., where it was relocated, piece by piece, more than 40 years ago. The current London Bridge dates back to ye olde 1973.

The next generation of RoboCop trailer says that next generation fire can only be fought with a more violent iteration of that fire. Enter the neck-snapping red-eyelined hero who will save Detroit from itself. This preview gives us exactly what one wants from this kind of film: ass whippings, vehicles flying all over the place, and explosions.
The Super Bowl spot for this revved up feature leans heavily on its cars. Which makes sense, because the game on which this movie is based was a car-racing thriller. And its a credit to F&F that we see automobiles hurling through the air and automatically thing about that franchise.
Wait... Gwen Stacy lives? The Super Bowl trailer for Marc Webbs The Amazing Spider-Man 2 begins with a very deliberate tease to the death of Emma Stones character.
There was no sign of a plot. (Is there ever?) We mainly see humans screaming in terror as they run in slow motion away from explosions created by the Autobots and the Decepticons.
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which is based on a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, we find Cap (Chris Evans) continuing to adjust to the modern world following being frozen alive and fighting in the Battle of New York.
Muppets Most Wanted co-stars Fey, Gervais and Ty Burrell. It arrives in theaters on March 21. And look for the Muppets to double dip, as they are part of a car commercial also running during the Big Game at some point.
The 30-second ad is definitely more exciting than anything Bud Light or GoDaddy.com are bringing, and its more pulse-pounding than the theatrical trailer previously released. You cant go wrong with huge snake armies and swords that turn the ground into fire.
While we all expect a lot of the Super Bowl coverage to focus on star quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson, someone we might not expect to see more than once is Kevin Costner, who not only has a spot for his upcoming inside football drama Draft Day, but also for McGs high-stakes action flick 3 Days to Kill.
The one thing youre agreeing to by making a film like Draft Day is that youre gonna have to shell out the $4.5 million for thirty seconds (in this case, a little more) to plug the film on the biggest football day of the year.
So, what is this movie? Were not going to pretend you dont know, but this tease of a trailer does give us some decent ideas of what to expect as this film begins to firm up its ad campaign leading up to the April 4th release.
Nowadays it's gotten to the point where the Super Bowl is practically as big for Hollywood as it is for the NFL. This Sunday, just about all of the major studios will be debuting new trailers for some of their biggest upcoming titles, hoping to attract the attention of the millions upon millions of viewers tuning in to watch some sports.
Noah is based on a script co-written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel and retells the classic biblical tale of how the titular ordinary man (Russell Crowe) was instructed by god to build an ark in preparation for an apocalyptic flood. The film features a talented supporting cast that includes Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Douglas Booth, Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, and the film will be in theaters on March 28th
To the Muppets credit, they dont push Most Wanted on us in this spot. So Ill do them a favor and peddle the upcoming sequel. It will be in theaters on March 21.
Obviously, the visual style of the Matrix universe is instantly recognizable in a 30-second spot. Kia doesnt have to educate the world on who Fishburne is playing. They see the glasses, hear his deep tone, and know instantly its a play off the Matrix movies.
While I can't say that that I like this commercial all that much - I'm not entirely sure I fully get the link between being a villain and driving a Jaguar - whoever did the casting absolutely nailed it. Kingsley, Strong and Hiddleston don't always play villains, but one could argue that all of them are at their best when they do.
Guardians needs to be explained. One her looks like a tree. The other is a gun-wielding raccoon voiced by Bradley Cooper. This isnt a slam dunk, even though the footage we saw in Hall H was so fantastic, you just know that Gunn is on to something special.
These potential blockbusters have a little selling to do, though, and Super Bowl Sunday is the ideal opportunity to fire a winning bow over the heads of ticket buyers. Here are the eight summer tentpole pictures that we think should make a splash next Sunday with an eye-popping Super Bowl advertisement.
Films dont get much bigger than Michael Bays Transformers franchise, and its no surprise Paramount will reveal the first footage from Transformers: Age of Extinction during the game. Well probably just see Optimus Prime getting his transformation on along with a couple of explosions, but I bet people go crazy over it.
Ill be very excited to see what Bay has to show. We know next to nothing about this sequel, as its a departure from the trilogy Bay helped launch back in 2007. No Shia LaBeouf. No Megan Fox. No John Turturro getting urinated on by an Autobot.

A 21-year-old lifeguard supervisor at a Florida water park was killed when the ride he was working on was struck by lightning.
Justin Inversso was working Saturday to get people off of the 700-foot-high Key West Rapids Ride at the Adventure Island water park in Tampa, Fla., because of an oncoming storm when lightning struck the ride at around 11:49 a.m.
Inversso was standing in 2 to 3 feet of water at the time of the lightning strike.
Park employees pulled him from the water and administered CPR before Tampa Fire Rescue workers arrived a few minutes later. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
The Key West Rapids ride was closed Saturday, but the park remained open.

Pete Bigelow · Midwest Memo: Michigan Home Prices Climb, Milwaukee Streetcar's Ongoing Fight, New Neighbors For Chicago Police
October 6th, 2011
Three stories making news across the Midwest today:
1. Mixed Midwest real estate news. Home sale prices in Michigan increased significantly over the past three months, according to a new report from Clear Capitol. "Michigan overall is actually up even more so than the Midwest Region," said Alex Villacorta, a Clear Capitol spokesperson. Villacorta tells Michigan Radio that prices are up 8.5 percent on a quarter-over-quarter basis, but cautions prices could decline by more than 3 percent in Michigan this winter. Elsewhere in the region, distressed sales in northeast Ohio pushed the decline in area home prices to almost double the national rate, according to Crain's Cleveland. Prices in the Cleveland area fell 7.9 percent in August compared to a year earlier.
2. Milwaukee streetcar's street fight continues. Two Milwaukee alderman asked Congress to kill a streetcar line in the city by giving its $54.9 million in federal funds to the cash-strapped city bus system. The alderman and opponents of the streetcar line, said Wednesday that the city could not afford to operate the streetcar. Their efforts face long odds, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. House rules may ban such a financial shift, and the city's council has already voted to start final engineering on the $64.6 million streetcar project.
3. Closer confines in Chicago. The Chicago Sun-Times reports today the Chicago Police Department will have some company in its headquarters. The Chicago Fire Department is moving in late next month as part of cost cutting ordered by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a source tells the newspaper. Moving boxes have already arrived, and the fire department will abandon its lease on two floors at 10 W. 35th Street. "Everyone hopes everyone will get along," the source tells The Sun-Times.
Pete Bigelow · Midwest Memo: Milwaukee May Not Comply with Wisconsin Law; Measuring Cleveland's Urban Garden Potential
August 22nd, 2011
Three stories making news across the Midwest today:
1. Milwaukee's employee-benefit conundrum. Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett and the city's Common Council are unsure whether the city is exempt from a new state law that requires public employees contribute more toward benefit costs. The city's attorney says Milwaukee should not comply. The governor's chief counsel says yes. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the disagreement centers around the state constitution's home-rule provisions and terms of a decade-old legal settlement. Following the new law could save the city $8.2 million annually, but risks a lawsuit.
2. Chicago schools' financial trouble. An 82-page analysis of Chicago Public Schools' 2012 budget says that a "fiscal calamity" lies in the district's near future if cuts are not implemented, according to the Civic Federation, which released the report Monday. The organization endorsed decisions like denying teachers a 4 percent cost-of-living increase and raising property taxes, according to our partner station WBEZ. The Federation said those decisions will look small if other remedies are not implemented to the $5.9 billion annual budget by 2014.
3. Urban garden potential. Two Ohio State researchers say as much as $115 million in produce could be grown on vacant land in Cleveland, enough to meet 22 to 100 percent of the city's fresh food demands. "We were definitely shocked it was really possible to be self-reliant," Parwinder S. Grewal, co-author of the study, told the Columbus Dispatch. Cleveland holds 5.3 square miles of vacant lots, and the city has recently loosened regulations to make urban gardening more palatable.
Pete Bigelow · Milwaukee Streetcar Project Approved, but Hurdles Remain Ahead
July 28th, 2011
It took more than a decade of political wrangling for the Milwaukee Common Council to craft and approve a plan for a $64.6 million downtown streetcar project that was finally green-lighted Monday.
Sort of.
Because of concerns aired during contentious debates about possible cost overruns, the council limited current spending to engineering expenses. No money for construction will be released until a comptroller reviews the project.
"I view this as a significant step, but by no means do I view this as the end of the road," Mayor Tom Barrett told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Barrett noted that Milwaukee is one of few American cities that has no light-rail or streetcar public transportation in supporting the plan.
Officials say the project could create anywhere from 680 to 1,080 jobs in the city, depending on which particular routes are included in the plans. Approximately $55 million of the project will be covered by a federal transit grant the city received in 1991 and, to date, has left unused. The remaining $9 million will come from a local city tax and parking fees.
But others fear that moving utility lines for the project, among other items, could wind up costing Milwaukee millions more in unseen expenses.
The street car is an "absolutely horrible idea," Alderman Joe Dudzik told Milwaukee Public Radio. "My true thoughts about this idea is that the first car that we put on the track should be named 'Abyss' because we could be building a hole in the late and throwing money into it for the rest of this city's existence."
Micki Maynard · Reinvention Recipes: Patricia Wells
April 18th, 2011
Say the name Patricia Wells to a foodie, and they'll immediately mention her guide to Paris and her French cookbooks. Say Patricia Wells to a Midwestern foodie, and you'll get the response, "she's from Milwaukee."
This week, Wells is on her home turf, visiting Chicago and Milwaukee in conjunction with her latest book, Salad As A Meal: Healthy Main Dish Salads For Every Season, just published by William Morrow.
Wells, a long-time journalist for the New York Times and International Herald Tribune as well as an author, is a perfect subject for Reinvention Recipes. Over the past decade, she's reinvented herself and her approach to writing about and preparing food.
I bought my first Wells book, The Food Lover's Guide to Paris, years ago, and used it to plan many trips to Paris. She followed it with books on bistro cooking, Provence, and another version of her food lover's guide, this time for all of France. Those books were laden with rich recipes that reflected classic French cooking, even though many people did not cook that way on a regular basis.
But in the middle of the last decade, Wells made a dramatic change in her lifestyle. She lost 30 pounds by shifting away much of the butter and cream laden recipes that permeated her cookbooks, and placing more emphasis on olive oil, herbs, flavored salt and vegetables.
She began to go jogging in the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Paris park, and sought new approaches to healthier meals. When I attended her cooking school in 2007, we used butter just once in a week of lessons, but had vegetables at every meal, often drizzled with flavored oils. (But it wasn't Spartan: we also drank a lot of wine.)
Wells' previous book, Vegetable Harvest, was the first she wrote since adopting her new regime. Salad As A Meal is the next step her healthier approach. "It's a continuation, without hitting people over the head about it," Wells said at a book signing in Chicago this weekend. "I'm saying, 'this is good food. Try it.'"
One of her goals is to change the perception of salad from a side dish to centerpiece. She also wants her readers to think of salads as an opportunity to be creative. "This is not a book about salad bars, where you just pile things on a plate," Wells said.
Along with salads, the book has recipes for tarts, breads, and other accompaniments. But its centerpiece is the idea of salad as a main course, something many Americans have adopted anyway. "Half the time, when you go to a restaurant, that's what you have," Wells said.
Her timing is ideal for farmers' market season, which is getting off to a bit of a late start this year around the region thanks to lingering snowstorms. But as soon as spring peas and asparagus arrive, recipes from the book await. "It's spring, and people are thinking about" salads, Wells said (even if they're also dusting off their cars and decks).
Wells' approach also is in line with food trends in the United States, where restaurants like The Greenhouse Tavern in Cleveland work closely with local farmers. Times readers will remember a wildly popular feature story by Mark Bittman, 101 Simple Salads for the Season, that ran in 2009.
Because she's based abroad, however, Wells may not be as famous in America as our celebrity chefs and cookbook authors, like her friend Ina Garten, aka The Barefoot Contessa. But she has a firm following, through her website, her Facebook page, and her blog, which recently featured fellow Parisienne Olivia de Havilland. She also is now on Twitter, @patriciawellsfr.
This month, Wells' hometown paper, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, profiled her in a piece called "Living the Foodie Dream."
A busload of her fans from Lansing, Mich., drove three and a half hours to Chicago to see her this past Sunday, and a steady stream of autograph and photo seekers thronged her at Spice Market, a shop in Chicago's Old Town.
Wells returns the enthusiasm. Arriving in Chicago this weekend, she took a long walk up Michigan Avenue and enjoyed spotting new buildings and businesses that were not there on her last visit. "It's so vibrant," Wells said of the Windy City. "It looked so clean and lovely — and you have a new mayor!"
Wells will be in the States a little longer, and then it's back to Paris to work on her next project. She's updating The Food Lover's Guide to Paris once more.
Here are two salad recipes from Patricia Wells, via The Today Show:
Chicken Salad with green beans
Crab Salad with lime zest

Ok, I got back in to riding in 2008 (Im 43YO). I started keeping mileage when I started in 08 and that year I did 1629 miles. In 2009, I logged 1303 miles. Now, I finally compiled my miles from 2010 and it turns out that I did 1003 miles.
Im not a recreational cyclist and basically use my bike(s) to get to work. I will occasionally do errands on the weekends like running to the store etc, but thats about it.
I can attribute this to 2 reasons: My job moved to a closer location in mid 2009. 2nd. Our in-laws moved out in mid 2010 since our daughter is now going to a regular 8-3pm school. Before, she was in preK and they would pick up and drop off. I was free to bike in to work and bike home. Now, with me shouldering the drop-off duties. I will sometimes take the car to do the drop off, come home and ride to work. I admit that a lot of times I ride the whole way to work after the drop off (non bicycling day).
Man, I hope Im not getting old and subconsciously avoiding biking. 2011 will be the true test. I think I need to stay stable from what I did in 2010 or at least improve on that. What do you all think?

Vacation rental startup iStopOver.com acquires U.S. competitor Vacapedia Inc.
Today, Toronto-based iStopOver Inc., Canada's leading provider of short term accommodation rentals announced it has acquired Vacapedia Inc., a one-stop-shop site for on-line travelers seeking vacation rentals and short-tem accommodations. iStopOver has acquired the assets and massive global vacation rental inventory of Vacapedia and its impressive distribution network for an undisclosed amount. Ashwin Kedia, CEO of Vacapedia will remain as an advisor to the company.
The vacation rental market is growing rapidly, and 87% of travelers who looked into a vacation rental in the past say they plan to stay in a vacation rental in the future. Despite the tough economy, Canadians spent roughly $9 billion on vacations in the US last year, and this number is likely to grow to $11 billion in 2011. Therefore, acquiring Vacapedia gives iStopOver access to an increased number of vacation rental properties at top US destinations where Canadians like to visit, such as New York, Nevada, California, Florida and Texas.
iStopOver's global audience of Hosts earn cash by renting out their extra space and offering unique local experiences, affordability and flexibility that travelers cannot get at a hotel.
"Our acquisition of Vacapedia enables us to immediately increase the quantity and diversity of the more than 80,000 properties we're now able to offer travelers," said Anthony Lipschitz, Co-founder and CEO of iStopOver. "Bookings have increased some 65% over the past few months and with a focus on the rapidly growing alternative travel market, we're well poised to capitalize on the industry's strong growth."
Launched in 2009, iStopOver now has properties in 16,023 cities in 92 countries worldwide. Incubated by Brightspark Ventures, the company has also attracted funding from GrowthWorks Capital, Ontario Emerging Technologies Fund and JLA Ventures.
Ensuring safety and authenticity for iStopOver guests
Are you worried about showing up to your vacation rental destination – only to find out that it wasn't what you expected? Don't worry. iStopOver's free social media tools help Hosts and Guests to chat online before travelling without exchanging any personal information. Also, iStopOver acts as a payment broker, making sure that the Guest has checked-in and is happy before delivering payment to the Host. Guests and Hosts can also post reviews about on one another. So, everyone benefits from this shared information.
In addition, iStopOver provides authentic pictures of its properties as well as trust-worthy user-written profiles. That way, the place you stay in is exactly what you saw and is backed by real facts and reviews from real people.
"Pioneering sites like Vacapedia have paved the way for the home stay and vacation rental market's rapid acceptance and growth," said Ashwin Kedia. "Last year home stays in North America generated some $90 billion in revenues with an almost 20% increase in the numbers of property owners financing their vacation homes by renting them to travelers. This bodes well for iStopOver and its focus on providing global travelers with outstanding options at all price points."

Two Trains Running
by Andrew Vachss
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Once a devastated mill town, by 1956 Locke City has established itself as a thriving center of vice tourism. The city is controlled by boss Royal Beaumont, who took it by force many years ago. He ups the ante by importing a hired killer, Walker Dett, a master tactician whose trademark is wholesale destruction.
I love Vachss's Burke novels, even though I had to stop reading them for a while after my kids were born (too disturbing). This one's a little bit different than the Burke books in that there are lots of characters and it's set in the recent past (1959). But it's typical of Vachss's other books in its lean prose, violence, atypical but powerful moral code, and unusual relationships. I don't think I'd say one "enjoys" a Vachss novel, but one does come away from them with a passion to do something about violence and evil.
So, anyway, if you like Vachss, you'll probably like this book. If you can't handle dark and violent, you probably shouldn't read this one.
All I know about this book is that Martha Grimes said it's "Like a stick of dynamite tossed into hell." Well, actually, reading that quote again, she's actually talking about one of the characters in the book. All I have to say is that this is a pretty placid hell - not much of interest happens in this book. There are at least a dozen recurring characters and half a dozen different gangs or organizations fighting over various interests in the book - if only there was more actual action. Instead, it's talk here, go somewhere else, talk there, etc. etc. etc. I wouldn't mind if the plots were coherent or even relevant, but they're just not, and the whole thing fizzles out like someone cut the fuse. Vachss has written far better books than this.

Two Deacs Advance to ITA Regional Quarterfinals
Oct. 17, 2010
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's tennis team finished play at the ITA Carolina Regional Sunday, with two Demon Deacons reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament.
No. 36 Tripper Carleton took down South Carolina's Ivan Machado in the Round of 16 before falling to NC State's Dave Thomson in the quarterfinals. No. 68 Iain Atkinson took down Duke's Jared Pinsky in two tiebreaks before bowing out to No. 30 Jose Hernandez of North Carolina.
Sophomore Danny Kreyman came up just short of an upset of Hernandez in the previous round, falling 6-4, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6). No. 81 Jonathan Wolff was Wake Forest's fourth representative in the Round of 16 where he fell 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) to North Carolina's No. 85 Joey Burkhardt. Wake Forest had put more players in the Round of 16 than any other school.
The tournament was the Deacons' final event of the fall season. Wake Forest will open dual match play on Jan. 29 against Wisconsin in the ITA kickoff weekend in Lexington, Ky. The Deacs' first home match will come on Feb. 13 against VCU.

Just started a spinning class at the Y. From the looks of the clothes folks were wearing, lot of cyclists in there. Mostly men, which in my experience is unusual for an exercise class. It was quite a work out, especially the intervals and the killer "hills."
Do many of you spin to help stay in/get in shape when you can't ride as frequently as you'd like? It was kind of nice "riding" in the wee, dark hours of the morning without having to worry about visibility or keeping warm. And I enjoyed the comraderie of the group. And the music to keep me motivated. Or do trainers provide most of the same benefits, but in the comfort of home?

DAVIDSON – They were dressed in neon green and black outfits, and some donned alien masks.
Students from Acrofitness arrived at Davidson Day School April 26 to perform as part of Project ACES, or All Children Exercise Simultaneously. A Mooresville-based business, Acrofitness works to provide classes that inspire children of all ages to develop a love of movement through dance acrobatics.
"We use all kinds of movement to make fitness fun for kids – tumbling and core fitness and everything kids think is cool," Owner Marie Severance said. "It's all interspersed with push-ups and crunches, so it's all disguised as play."
Four teams made up of girls and boys from elementary to high school acted out a series of space age routines set to contemporary music, while Davidson Day kids cheered and jumped at opportunities to take part in the action.
"We go to local schools, and our kids motivate the other kids that fitness is fun," Severance said. "With childhood obesity being at such an epidemic rate, we just feel like we should do anything we can to get the kids up and moving."
Severance said all 50 states and 52 countries participate in Project ACES, which began in 1989.
Acrofitness offers a variety of after-school classes that incorporate elements of tumbling, hip hop dance, zumba and ballet. Find out more at www.acrofitness.com.

By Dr. Joey Shulman, DC, RNCP 2010-12-21 00:00:00 In the U.S. and Canada, it is estimated between 40 to 50 per cent of women and 20 to 25 per cent of men suffer from a low sex drive. There are several underlying causes of a low libido, including stress, being overweight, hormonal imbalance and suffering from the side effects of certain medications. A low sex drive can be frustrating, and is not often openly discussed. Luckily, there are natural and effective steps you can take to help boost your libido and propel you to a greater state of health and wellness. Simply implement one or all of the steps below and you'll soon see an improvement in your sex life. 7 tips for boosting your libido 1. Watch the alcohol While a modest amount of alcohol (one or two drinks) does not have an effect on sex drive – and can even help get some couples in the mood – overconsumption can have a dampening effect on desire. 2. Keep moving In addition to keeping blood flow high and helping you achieve your ideal body weight, exercise helps to release feel good chemicals called endorphins, eliciting feelings of happiness and confidence. 3. Lose weight Anything that helps improve your mood will also improve your libido. If your weight is deterring you from being intimate with your partner, it's time to take care of it. Start by eliminating white, refined flours and sugars from your diet, eating a lighter dinner and drinking six to eight glasses of water per day. These small steps will help you shed unwanted pounds. 4. Go for color The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in fruits and vegetables can help encourage blood flow to all areas of the body. Add plenty of tomatoes, broccoli, berries, apples, sweet potatoes, spinach and kale to your diet. The brighter and more colorful your dinner plate, the better.

too true killahrat. I dont know why but MotoGP commentators in general are way too shall we say 'happy' on the mic. It gives me douche chills as well. After Randy Mamola (Integrity) left Ryder was the only one keeping the operation some what hinged. Nick and Gav were okay, except last year they got the memo to start fawning all over Marquez, especially when he ran people over and off the race track, its hard to respect commentators who obviously throw logic out the window and just slobber all over the establishment's picks for the future... Say next to nothing about how lousy the predictions are, ever try watching some of those races after you know whats going to happen, now there is a laugh.
btw, you dont have to pay to watch, but with Dorna looking to make more bank of their internet, and getting rid of Eurosports and BBC, its obvious that they are going to need to 'clamp' down in order to keep their supply of viewers.

US Macro Data Starts Year Worst Since 2008; Goldman Admits "Broad-Based Slowdown"
Goldman's February Final Global Leading Index places the global industrial cycle in the "Slowdown" phase, with positive but decreasing Momentum indicating a soft-patch in global growth. The infamous Swirlogram has now shifted to a more negative stance than a year ago as 8 of the 10 factors worsened in Feb. Goldman remains unapologetically optimistic that this is 'weather'-related but we do note that the weakness is global in nature. In the US, despite beats in 'select' data, the US macro surprise index has started the year with its biggest fall since 2008.
Goldman's Swirlogram has shifted notably to the lower left (from slowdown to contraction) in the past year... as GLI momentum has faded notably year-over-year...
Only two of the ten underlying components improved in February. On the positive side, the Global PMI aggregate increased after last month's drop, and the Japan Inventory/Sales ratio also showed significant improvement.
On the negative side, the S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Index® fell marginally and US Initial Jobless claims ticked up slightly. The Belgian and Netherlands Manufacturing Survey and the Baltic Dry Index were also softer. The Consumer Confidence aggregate, which climbed back to its highest level in six years last month, retreated marginally, while the Global New Orders less Inventories (NOIN) aggregate continued to decline, driven in part by strong inventory accumulation in the US. Finally, Korean exports were again a bit weaker but at decent levels, and the AUD & CAD TWI aggregate was only slightly lower after a sharp fall over the previous three months.
And if the belief that the US will decouple from global weakness is still alive...
US macro has worst start to the year since 2008...

+1 for your avatar.
If the macro goes too low for too long, only a war can get it going again.
I hope we don't start a war against a country with nukes.
Are you kidding? Just think of the broken windows.
So BTFATH then.... got it.
Good, I would hate to think that we had stopped "beating expectations" all the way down...

The Ministry of Truth needs to advocate for war with Russia, so that the Ministry of Peace can blow up everything, which will enable the Ministry of Plenty to put everyone to work. which will lead to much prosperity and happiness for all.
Dear NSA, er, Ministry of Love, I've rejiggered my computer lens like a backwards peephole. I can watch YOU tugging it to collage girls getting dressed. You dirty, naughty, jack boot, brown shirt perves!
And the market gaps up open 20 points to all time highs....
Goldman: BFD!
I just shit in a bag and am now going to take it public on the NYSE.
Who wants to buy shares???
Yellen, get that fucking printer going and buy my shares you cunt!!!
Provide financials. Long!
Goldman also said Gold Would TANK in 2014
Ilike the part where the clown says the economy will hit "escape velocity"
Thanks. Good laugh of the day. What a bank stooge...

The Star of Spring...Magnolia Stellata "Star Magnolia"
Posted: April 2, 2012
Are you looking for a beautiful tree to add to your landscape? Then look no further. Magnolias, the "Aristocrats of Spring", have a long history as magnificent additions to the garden. Discovered in the Orient, they were named in honor of the 17th century botanist Pierre Magnol and have graced western gardens in Zones 4-8 for more than 300 years.
There are several well known species but one of the longest flowering and earliest bloomers is Magnolia stellata, the Star Magnolia.
Beginning in March, the Star Magnolia's large, 3"-5" white or pink perfumed blossoms can last up to three weeks, before giving way to shiny 4" by 2" oblong-shaped leaves. Not all of the flowers open simultaneously which adds to the length of its show time.
Covered in pussy willow-like casings, the buds swell to release 12 or more tepaled flowers. These tepals give the Magnolia it's "star" quality, resembling a starburst rather than the traditional 5 pointed variety. Pale yellow anthered centers hold the strappy tepals in place. When the flowers are nearing their "curtain call" they remind me of ballerina tutus from a Degas painting…a tree filled with nature's dancers, "jete-ing" with the breeze.
Star Magnolia grows slowly to 20 feet high by 15 feet wide in full sun to part shade. Though preferring acid soil, it grows graciously in many soil types while thriving in both cold and heat. It's a seasoned performer that knows the show must go on. Sadly, in our area its biggest nemesis is frost. Though its flowers don't mind near-freezing temperatures, frost will stop the act briefly. Thankfully any unopened buds will continue to bloom. A full three weeks of Magnolia stellata is a sold-out event. We can count our lucky stars for that type of performance!
Star Magnolias are often grown as multi-trunked specimens, resulting in a densely branched canopy. Single trunks usually have low branches that can be easily pruned up. Pruning gives even more pleasure, as the cut branch releases a delightful lime fragrance. However, remember to prune in the dormant season or after blooming, as the Star Magnolia's bark will "bleed" if pruned too early in the growing season. This usually doesn't affect its health but it is unsightly.
By fall, they produce small, 2" fist-like capsules filled with orange-red seeds. While not a noticeable attribute to us, songbirds enjoy them for their high fat content. Star Magnolia leaves turn a butternut yellow before dropping.
I first became acquainted with this shrub-like tree about 14 years ago on a tour of Linda Secrist's garden. Linda is our current Master Gardener Coordinator. She had planted it on a corner, very close to her home's foundation and it was at least 15 feet tall. I don't remember the month of the visit, other than it was very hot and this tree, with its glossy dark green leaves was stunning. Its smooth, light gray bark was a nice contrast to its dark leaves.
I couldn't believe it was thriving so close to the house. Linda said she really didn't give it any special attention. I knew then I would find a home for one in my garden. Had to have it, had to have it!! And this was without seeing any of its trademark flowers.
Finding a plant that's appealing without flowers is exciting. And if it blooms, what a bonus! In a small garden, plants that look good during more than one season are a must. They have to pull their own weight and Magnolia stellata is certainly one of those.
And so, I too, planted my Magnolia stellata "Royal Star" (white tepals) on the north-west corner of my home where it has faced fierce westerly winds and scorching summer sun without a hiccup for over a decade. Even though it has a reputation for being a slow grower, mine has managed to be 12' tall without interfering with my home's structure. Its roots are not like most trees, as they are rope-like, splaying out from the center. They don't form a dense rootball. It's a perfect plant to soften a corner's hard edge. Thank you very much Linda!
Placing it close to the house has many advantages. I enjoy its blossoms from my dining window when it's too cold to be outside. I enjoy recognizing its scent, wafting through the garden while I'm doing spring cleanup. And I enjoy its glamorous good looks all summer long. Plenty of joy all the way around!
And, of course, Star Magnolia looks great planted as a single specimen to be appreciated from all angles. It's also a wonderful visual anchor for a bed. In winter the branches will capture snow, creating a handsome silhouette. Wherever you plant it you will love it. Guaranteed.
So if you're looking to add spring drama, summer performance, fall feasts for your feathered friends, and winter sculpture to your garden, Magnolia stellata can bring star quality to any seasonal event. And all for the price of one admission…a luminary not to be missed.

Mine won't hold a charge and none of the shops in town say they can work with it. :wtf: the problem must be in the battery and/or the charger -- how hard could this be?
I opened it up to take a look at it and it appears they just have 2 12v batteries wired in series. However, there are more wires than I would expect. There is stuff for charging, safety, and controls and it is not totally clear to me what does what.
I tried wiring the batteries directly to the motor and while it spins it acts like it's only on half voltage. Also, I get a good spark, so I presume I'm doing something wrong (I take it the normal switch uses some sort of relay?)
Anyway, I don't really know what I'm doing. What do I need to know if all I want to be able to do is charge the batteries and run the mower? I couldn't care less if I have to modify it so that it doesn't work exactly the same way as it does now.
