We hope you saw KATU's great story, "We're building the park for Isaac," last Friday.
15-month old Isaac is the star of the piece about East Portland's Parklane Park, slated to receive new play equipment, drinking fountains, and expanded seating as part of our E205 initiative.
Writes KATU's Shannon Cheesman, "little Isaac isn't old enough to understand the impact of future plans for his neighborhood park but for those who are working hard to make a positive change in their community, he's their inspiration."
Because East Portland was incorporated into the city fairly recently, it doesn't have a rich tradition of parks and open spaces, and is home to numerous parks that lack amenities like playgrounds, paths, and community gardens.
While many sites have existing plans for development, the City don't currently have the funding to complete improvements. Nick believes East Portland deserves a down payment on those improvements now.
We know that modest, affordable improvements - community gardens, new playgrounds, benches - can make a huge difference for community members who use these parks.
With a $500,000 commitment from the City Council and a team led by the Portland Parks Foundation working to secure matching private funds, we'll bring improvements to a dozen or more East Portland parks in the next year and a half.
Tom Lewis, Centennial Community Association Chair and Parklane advocate, has this to say about Isaac: "He's our - for lack of a better term - poster child."

Mr. Mayor, Have You No Shame?
Why Michael Bloomberg is imitating Joe McCarthy.
Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, has an op-ed in today's New York Post defending the Ground Zero mosque. Actually, the Post informs us, it's an adaptation of "Bloomberg's prepared remarks for his annual Ramadan celebration at Gracie Mansion yesterday."
It is a low performance. Bloomberg panders to his audience by slandering the two-thirds or so of Americans who take offense at the idea of a fancy new mosque near the site of an Islamic supremacist atrocity:
Islam did not attack the World Trade Center--al Qaeda did. To implicate all of Islam for the actions of a few who twisted a great religion is unfair and un-American.
The substance of this statement is unremarkable: Obviously it is wrong to implicate all of Islam in the 9/11 attacks.
But the mayor employs scurrilous McCarthyite rhetoric in an attempt to inflame emotions and divert attention from a point that should be equally obvious: The Ground Zero mosque planners have implicated themselves by seeking to exploit the symbolism of the site, whatever their purpose is in doing so.
Obama's Latest Apology
The latest from the Obama administration is both comical and despicable. The Associated Press reports:
In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said Monday that some Americans, notably minorities, are still victims of discrimination. Despite success in reforming such inequities as slavery and the denial of women's right to vote, the department said, considerable progress is still needed.
"Although we have made great strides, work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all," it said.
The report noted that although the U.S. now has an African-American president and that women and Hispanics have won greater social and economic success, large segments of American society suffer from unfair policies and practices.
Now, this column is as proud as anyone that America elected a black president. But America is a republic, not a personality cult. It is preposterously grandiose for Barack Obama's administration to tout his election as a breakthrough for "human rights." (Besides, Liberia elected an African-American president in 1847.)
It's worse than this, though. As the Washington Times reports, the report "sounds in parts like political campaign literature":
For example, in a section about equality for people with disabilities the report states, "President Obama further demonstrated the nation's commitment to continued vigilance and improvement by announcing new regulations that increase accessibility in a variety of contexts and commit the federal government to hiring more persons with disabilities."
The report touts Mr. Obama's new health care and finance reforms, signed into law earlier this year, but also lesser-known pieces of legislation, like the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which gives women the right to sue employers if they are paid less than men, as an example of the president's commitment to gender equality.
The review highlights the president's announced commitment to repealing the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning open gays in the military; and also what the document calls the "historic summit" in November with nearly 400 Native American tribal leaders.
In the early days of the Cold War, there was a saying that politics ended at the water's edge--meaning that Democrats and Republicans, whatever their differences on domestic policy, presented a united front to America's allies and adversaries. This ended in the late 1960s, when the Democrats cracked up over Vietnam and abandoned the idea of national solidarity in foreign policy. The Obama administration, however, has gone a step further, introducing divisions of U.S. domestic policy into an international forum.
And what a forum. The Human Rights Council includes such stalwarts of freedom as China, Cuba, Libya, Russia and Saudi Arabia. By apologizing to despotic regimes for America's falling short of perfection while treating its own domestic policies as the standard of perfection, the Obama administration at once legitimizes real abusers of human rights and demonizes its domestic opposition.
It's a shameful performance all the way around, redeemed only by the high comedy of watching the administration persist in the cult-of-personality aspect of Obama's presidency at a time when the presiding-over-the-government aspect of it seems to be going disastrously wrong.

What Ed Schultz and Mike Papantonio Think of Black Americans
A shocking exchange took place on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" last night--or at least it would have been shocking if anyone other than our friends at NewsBusters.org watched that show. Host Ed Schultz and guest Mike Papantonio were discussing Glenn Beck's controversial rally planned for this Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial:
Schultz: So you would say, and I don't want to put words in your mouth, is this about self-promotion for the guy who's organizing this, or is it really about restoring honor?
Papantonio: Well, it has nothing about restoring honor. It's a bunch of inheritance--here's--if you follow the money on it, Ed, it's about inheritance babies, the Koch brothers, inheritance babies who don't want to pay taxes.
They want conservatives in power. The way you get conservatives in power is to scare the hell out of Americans.
I'll tell you what Glenn Beck is hoping. He's hoping that two blocks away from the Lincoln Memorial, that African-Americans are going to be so angry about what he's done on that important day, when Martin Luther King stood up and gave the most important speech of his career. And here you have this buffoon, this demagogue that's going to be preaching hate.
What does that do to the African-Americans that are two blocks away listening to this kind of hate speech? Any way you dress it up, Sarah Palin can't help herself, Glenn Beck can't help himself.
But you know what? They're not the money behind all this.
The money behind this are the Koch brothers, who put $100 million into spreading hate in this country. And they want the same divisiveness. They want the same ugliness that we saw in the Watts riots emerge so a guy--so the next conservative movement can come into power just like the Nixon movement did back in the '60s.
It's the same blueprint, Ed. I promise you, it's the same blueprint.
We're looking at--we're looking at the issue, should African-American be offended? Well, what African-Americans are going to do is they are going to see the reason they are not invited is it doesn't include them. It excludes them.
Schultz: No doubt.
The Beck rally doesn't actually exclude blacks. As we noted Thursday, one of the scheduled speakers is Alveda King, a conservative niece of Dr. King.
More importantly, though, what kind of racist nut would think that black Americans are prone to riot over a political speech? Not Glenn Beck, we're pretty sure. The race-riot fantasy is the product of Papantonio's fevered imagination; and rather than call him on this invidious stereotyping, Schultz nods: "No doubt."
Dewey Defeats Palin
You've got to love Slate, which yesterday published an article by Alexandra Gutierrez boldly predicting an election victory by an incumbent who was always supposed to win easily:
On Tuesday, in her home state, Sarah Palin's favorite will probably get trounced. Joe Miller is widely expected to lose by a large margin to incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary--an embarrassing defeat for the former governor, who has endorsed Miller, but also to Miller's other major backer, the Tea Party Express.
Miller was a virtual unknown when he announced his Senate candidacy in April. But his big political debut came in June when both Palin and the Tea Party Express endorsed him. Miller sounds like he came out of some kind of Tea Party laboratory, with degrees from West Point and the University of Alaska, a Bronze Star from fighting in the Gulf War, and "correct" positions on guns, abortion, God, and big government (for, against, for, and against, respectively). Miller even has the right look: With a long, lean face, and stubble closer to 10 o'clock than 5, he could almost pass for Chuck Norris.
Unfortunately for him, not even Chuck Norris in his most bad-ass role--which is, of course, Chuck Norris in real life--could rescue the Miller campaign. Always a long shot, Miller lags behind Murkowski, the heir to one of Alaska's political dynasties, by double digits.
The story, fittingly, is datelined Unalaska, Alaska. According to the latest "unofficial results" from Alaska election officials, Miller leads Murkowski, 51.1% to 48.9%. As the Washington Post reports, there's a very small chance Murkowski could pull off an order (or whatever you call the opposite of an upset):
Results on Wednesday showed Joe Miller holding a slim lead of about 1,900 votes over Murkowski, but a winner might not be declared until election officials count as many as 10,000 absentee ballots, which could take several days.
But if these numbers are right, Murkowski needs roughly 60% of the absentees to overcome Miller's lead. If Murkowski falls, she will be the third Senate incumbent to be denied renomination this year, after Bob Bennett (R., Utah) and Arlen Specter (R2D2, Pa.).
A bit of history: The last time so many U.S. senators lost primaries was 1980, when four of them did, including Alaska Democrat Mike Gravel. The man who beat Gravel, Clark Gruening, went on to lose the general election to Republican Frank Murkowski.
Re-elected three times, Frank Murkowski left the Senate in 2002 after being elected governor. To fill the seat left open by his departure, Gov. Murkowski appointed his daughter Lisa. Miss Murkowski was re-elected in 2004, defeating her father's predecessor as governor. But two years later Gov. Murkowski lost his re-election primary--to a former mayor of Wasilla called Sarah Palin.
You might have heard of Sarah Palin since then. Lisa Murkowski certainly has.
Great Moments in One-Party Autocracy
The Associated Press reports that China has "a monster traffic jam":
Triggered by road construction, the snarl-up began 10 days ago and was 100 kilometers (60 miles) long at one point. Reaching almost to the outskirts of Beijing, traffic still creeps along in fits and starts, and the crisis could last for another three weeks, authorities say.
"There is only one thing worse than one-party autocracy," according to Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, "and that is one-party democracy, which is what we have in America today." Friedman has repeatedly said he wishes America could be "China for a day." That would be a very, very long day.

A Matter of APpearance
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, is on vacation, and the Associated Press's Glenn Johnson reports from Vineyard Haven, Mass., the president's latest vacation spot, on Gibbs deputy Bill Burton, who isn't on vacation:
For two weeks, Burton is standing in for the vacationing Gibbs, serving as the public face of the White House. That's allowed Burton to gain stature on one of the key indices in Washington: proximity to power.
Just 33 years old, the Buffalo, N.Y., native has already worked in three presidential campaigns and on Capitol Hill. He's seen as a top contender to be White House press secretary if Gibbs moves on. Burton--like Obama, the son of a black father and white mother--appears to be the first African-American to take the podium and speak on behalf of the president.
Burton "appears to be the first African-American" in that role? A curious formulation, that. Is Johnson literally making an observation about Burton's skin color, or is this just the reporter's high-sounding way of saying he assumes Burton is the first and is too lazy to find out if it's true?

50 Cent Ordered to Pay HOW MUCH to Headphone Company?! (VIDEO)
50 Cent is going to need a lot more than two quarters to pay off his latest legal tangle. The "Candy Shop" rapper just got hit with a court order to pay millions upon millions of dollars to an audio company.
How much does 50 Cent owe exactly? More than $11.7 million in damages and close to $5 million in attorney's fees for a cool $16 million. That's 64 million quarters, if you were wondering.
RadarOnline.com reports 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, got the ruling from a case involving Sleek Audio. The headphones manufacturer claimed Fitty stole the company's design and used it to produce headphone brand Sync by 50 with a company he founded after leaving Sleek in 2011.
After more than a year of legal back and forths, a judge ruled in Sleek's favor and ordered the 38-year-old rapper to pay up that $16 million amount ($11,693,247 in damages and $4,488,331 in attorney's fees, if you really want your mind to be blown).
Thankfully for 50 Cent, he's worth a reported $500 million, much in part because of his work with Vitaminwater. That said, we think he needs a slightly stiffer drink after this ruling.

Did Martha Stewart Pick The Wrong Apprentice?
December 28, 2005 12:14 AM by Joe Blackmon
When we watched The Apprentice Martha Stewart finale, we kept thinking that everything was leading up to Bethenny Frankel being hired. Bethenny appeared to pull off the perfect event on her last task, while Dawna Stone had problems with the program for her event. Martha Stewart also repeatedly questioned if Dawna had vision (which is something that is very important for an employee of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia).
In fact the only thing that Bethenny apparently did wrong on the final task was that she gave a lukewarm handshake to the former candidates that helped her with the task. Of all people, Martha Stewart should have been able to relate to this since in a interview with BusinessWeek she called them "inappropriate contestants" and complained about actually having to hire one of them. If anything refusing to embrace her fellow contestants should have been a good thing about Bethenny in the eyes of Martha Stewart.
However, after all the build-up pointing to Bethenny as the winner, Martha Stewart then turned around and called Bethenny a "show-off" and hired Dawna. While the ultimate job of working with Body + Soul magazine did seem more suited to fit Dawna's previous experience in the magazine industry, it did seem unusual that she was hired after all the build-up surrounding how she was outperformed on the last task.
Now, the New York Post is casting doubt on if Dawna Stone was really supposed to win. According to the New York Post, Charles Koppelman's 6 year old granddaughter announced to the cast that Bethenny was going to win right before the finale. The New York Post also suggests that this announcement forced NBC to change the outcome of the show. While Martha's final decision did not seem to match the review of the final task, we have to wonder why a 6 year old announcing to a private audience of cast members who was going to win would alter the outcome.

While Bethenny may have done a good job on the last task, I think Dawna was 9-2 overall and 3-0 as project manager while Bethenny was 4-7 overall and 1-1 as a project manager.
Regarding the Post – do you really think they would change the outcome based on something a 6 year old said? Sounds like Bethenny needed some additional publicity.

I feel it is just rewards that Martha/Mdiddy's "business" ventures post-prison match her deceptive attitude. Martha/Mdiddy paid to have that show put on the air. Burnett tried to cash in on Martha/Mdiddy's "criminal spectacle", and failure after failure is just rewards. MSO stock down over 50% since Martha/Mdiddy's relaease from prison!!!
Be "thoughtful"

It is an obvious pick. I truly beleive that Bethenny was the better of the two, although I'm not sure if I'd hire either if I had a choice. So why not hire the magazine owner who could be potential competition to an area of business that Marth Stuart is venturing into. So to hire Donna is a subtle way of doing what Bill Gates does every day.

Well first, who is gonna believe a 6-year-old? And if she was right, then who cares whether she announced it to the cast or not? I don't think Bethenny or Dawna was in that room so what would it matter. The little girl just said "Bethenny is gonna win because Martha didn't like Dawna's fashion show." Well, maybe that was the girl's opinion! Maybe Martha really didn't like the show, but was still gonna pick Dawna. Maybe Charles' granddaughter heard someone wrong. It's stupid that they think THAT was the reason NBC was "changing the script".

Stars are gearing up for Sundance 2012 which means great talent, great films, and hot gentlemen in their winter gear. The ever adorable Ryan Kwanten looked prepared for the cold weather in his boots, flannel shirt and sleek black ray ban wayfarer sunglasses as he strolled on Main Street in Park City, Utah on January 21st.
Kwanten stars in the new film '7500′ about a haunted airplane and a doomed relationship with co-star Amy Smart. According to Entertainment Weekly, the film is directed by The Grudge filmmaker Takashi Shimizu.
James Marsden looked extra handsome as he toured the famous ski town. Marsden has two separate films premiering at the festival. 'Bachelorette' which stars Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fisher, is about three women who are asked to be bridesmaids at the wedding of a schoolmate they ridiculed in high school. Marsden's other film is entitled, 'Robert and Frank'.
According to The Wrap, 2012 Sundance is going to be a great festival. Nightly headliners this year include Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Jason Mraz, and 'Parks & Recreation' star Aziz Ansari will be performing his comedy routine on Saturday night.

From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 23:22, 22 September 2008 by Warhammerork (talk)
The Zombie is a Harley-Davidson styled motorbike featured in GTA IV.
The badge featured in various places on the bike reads L.C.C. Zombie. This possibly stands for Liberty City Choppers, a spin on the real-life Orange County Choppers, which is based in New York state. The Bike's acceleration value is suppisingly good, so is it's top speed. However trying to steer it can be a bit difficult because the handling is poor. The Lost biker gang usually use Zombies as their gang vehicle, as shown in the mission No Love Lost

Honestly, I don't know how people still believe in a right to privacy over the web. The actual arteries of the net are based on land lines that are mostly owned and maintained by {gasp} Corporations! It's not like the wonderful feel good days when people dialed into their friendly neighborhood BBS to play LoRD. You can be traced, analyzed, and studied so the powers that be have a better idea how to control and manipulate you. Don't like it? Two options: 1) Don't use their internet or 2) learn to surf the web as a false identity and frequently click random crap just to flood their system with a junk profile.
Best advice? Accept the fate of having a big brother state. Don't bother trying to fight them on this. You'll only make them clamp down on you that much faster and that much harder. Any heres an excerpt from the article:
"Amid the controversy brewing in the Senate over Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reform, the Bush administration appears to have changed its strategy and is devising a bold new plan that would strip away FISA protections in favor of a system of wholesale government monitoring of every American's Internet activities. Now the National Director of Intelligence is predicting a disastrous cyber-terrorist attack on the U.S. if this scheme isn't instituted.
It is no secret that the Bush administration has already been spying on the e-mail, voice-over-IP, and other Internet exchanges between American citizens since as early as and possibly earlier than September 11, 2001. The National Security Agency has set up shop in the hubs of major telecom corporations, notably AT&T, installing equipment that makes copies of the contents of all Internet traffic, routing it to a government database and then using natural language parsing technology to sift through and analyze the data using undisclosed search criteria. It has done this without judicial oversight and obviously without the consent of the millions of Americans under surveillance. Given any rational interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, its mass spying operation is illegal and unconstitutional.
But now the administration wants to make these illegal activities legal. And why is that? According to National Director of Intelligence Mike McConnell, who is now drafting the proposal, an attack on a single U.S. bank by the 9/11 terrorists would have had a far more serious impact on the U.S. economy than the destruction of the Twin Towers. "My prediction is that we're going to screw around with this until something horrendous happens," said McConnell. So the way to prevent this from happening, he claims, is to give the government the power to spy at will on the content of all e-mails, file transfers and Web searches.
McConnell's prediction of something "horrendous" happening unless we grant government this authority has a tone similar to that of the fear-mongering call to arms against terrorism that President Bush sounded before taking us to war in Iraq. Now, Americans are about to be asked to surrender their Fourth Amendment rights because of a vague and unsupported prediction of the dangers and costs of cyber-terrorism.
The analogy with the campaign to frighten us into war with Iraq gets even stronger when it becomes evident that along with the establishing of American forces in Iraq, the cyber-security McConnell is calling for was, all along, part of the strategic plan, devised by Dick Cheney and several other present and former high-level Bush administration officials, to establish America as the world's supreme superpower. This plan, known as the Project for the New American Century, unequivocally recognized "an imperative" for government to not only secure the Internet against cyber-attacks but also to control and use it offensively against its adversaries. The Project for the New American Century also maintained that "the process of transformation" it envisioned (which included the militarization and control of the Internet) was "likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor." All that appears to be lacking to make the analogy complete is the "horrendous" cyber-attack — the chilling analog of the 9/11 attacks — that McConnell now predicts.
Apparently, the Bush administration had hoped to continue its mass surveillance program in secret, but as many as 40 civil suits were filed against AT&T and other telecoms, threatening to blow the government's illegal spying activities wide open. Unable to have these cases dismissed in appellate court by once again playing the national security card, the administration drafted and tried to push through Congress a version of the FISA Amendments Act of 2007 that gave retroactive immunity to telecom corporations for their assistance in helping the government spy en mass on Americans without a court warrant. The administration's plan was to use Congress' passage of this provision of immunity to nullify any cause of civil action against the telecoms, thereby pre-empting the exposure of the administration's own illegal activities."

Jake Belshe, named Wednesday to be Paul Moro's successor at Lakeside Blue Ridge, embraces the challenge following a man who won 318 games and 13 state football championships in an amazing 30-year run at the White Mountains powerhouse.
"I know I have big shoes to fill," Belshe said in a phone interview from El Paso on Thursday. "But I have a big foot."
Literally, for sure.
Belshe left St. Johns High School in 1999 at 6 feet, 4 inches, 260 pounds. He was a linebacker on defense and a guard on offense.
He played his first three years at Eagar Round Valley, and never beat Blue Ridge, which was in the midst of a state-record 63-game winning streak during Belshe's prep days in the White Mountains.
His brother, Matt, had better success against Blue Ridge. After Jake graduated, Matt led Show Low to the 1999 state title win over Blue Ridge at quarterback. Mike Morgan's brother, Bill, was coach of that Show Low team.
Belshe is as big a name in the White Mountains as Morgan.
He fully embraces being a first-year head football coach at a school that is spoiled by winning.
One of the first things he'd like to do is ramp up the youth program in the Lakeside-Pinetop area.
Last season, it was equal parts frustrating and exhilarating for Moro, who didn't have enough players for JV, only to see his Yellow Jackets make an incredible playoff run, holding four opponents to 21 points, shocking highly favored Show Low in the semis, and capturing the Division IV title.
"There is passion for football in Texas," said Belshe, who has been an assistant coach/offensive coordinator at Parkland High in El Paso for the past five seasons. "But, in the White Mountains, it's the same kind of passion. It's just not as many people."
Morgan has no doubt Belshe will pick up from where Moro left off, but the key will be keeping some of the assistants, namely Bob London, considered one of the state's top line coaches.
"That's an extremely hard act to follow, but he is a great teacher, coach, has a strong work ethic, he's young and he's capable of keeping it going strong," Morgan said.
Belshe also coaches track and field at Parkland, and want to make sure he is able to follow through with senior Annthony Dudley, one of the country's top discus throwers.
He will commute between Lakeside and El Paso during spring football in May. He has family who lives in Eagar.
Belshe comes from a football family. His dad coached with Sonny Detmer, considered one of the all-time great high school football coaches in Texas, whose son Ty was one of the nation's top passers at BYU.
Jake Belshe went on a church mission out of high school and was planning to play football at the University of Arizona. But it underwent a coaching change, and Belshe played at UTEP, where he connected with head coach Mike Price, who led Washington State to the Rose Bowl during the 2002 season.
Belshe served as a graduate assistant one year at UTEP under Price.
"So much of my coaching philosophies come from him," Belshe said. "I owe a lot to him."
Belshe will hit the ground running once he gets to Blue Ridge.
"It's important to keep the continuity," Belshe said. "I understand there is great tradition there. I want to keep rolling with it."

The coastlines were not traced, they were all drawn freehand by simply referencing a map of Europe, hence the coastal errors.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio 2 Saddle $0.00
Selle Italia's SLR saddle shape has won the brand countless fans over the years, so it only makes sense to continue improving on this perennial favorite. That's why Selle Italia gave the Kit Carbonio 2 Saddle carbon fiber rails. The result is the same SLR shape that we all know and love, less a few grams, and with extra vibration damping for all-day comfort.
The Kit Carbonio is yet another staple piece in Selle Italia's SLR line, and as such, it employs the classic SLR shell shape. It's decidedly thin on padding, which keeps it comfortable on all-day rides, rather than generating hot-spots as over-padded saddles often do. The 131mm width of the wings provides a comfortable perch for those of us with average width sit bones, and our experience shows us that the SLR shape tends to get better with time. The nylon composite shell employs a 30% blend of carbon fiber, which yields an ideal balance between support and flex. Accordingly, this pairing of characteristics tends to cancel out the harshest of road vibrations.
The Carbonio uses carbon fiber seat rails in order to knock the weight down to around 125 grams -- only around 30 grams heavier than Selle Italia's flagship SLR Techno saddle. The solid carbon fiber rails are not only svelte, but they also add a great deal of strength. Additionally, the carbon, and its ovalized shaped rails, is far more proficient at dissipating vibration and jarring than either Vanox or titanium. And since this system works in conjunction with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell, chatter is significantly reduced, nearly eliminating numbness and discomfort.
The Selle Italia Kit Carbonio 2 Saddle is available in 131x275mm size and in the colors Black and White.

Great Saddle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm a big Fizik fan and use their saddles on most of my bikes. The Selle Italia is a popular saddle for a reason. It took me a bit to get used to the different platform, but I have no complaints. Light, stiff saddle stays where you put it.
Is the Selle Italian Kit Carbonia 2 saddle rails compatible with. Rithchey WCS seat Post?
i just got the saddle, looks and feels great, unfortunately i have to return it since not compatible with Ritchey seat post :(
Do you think you are getting a black one anytime soon?
Amazing Saddle
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Super light, and extremely comfortable. I wish I upgraded my 6 year old Concor Racing Team saddle sooner.
Holy lightness, Batman!
Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio 2
Super Comfy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Would have to be one of the best sadles I have every had. Great for long rides and keeps your backside nice and comfy. I have bought two now.

Steve Hodges, Dave Crosby, Antony Rowstron, Ben Bradshaw, Tim Edmonds, Andy Hopper, Steve Lloyd, and Jian Wang
November 1998
This paper details the design and development of a highly specialised goalkeeping robot for use in the RoboCup small-size league, and its integration into the Cambridge University Robot Football Team (RFT). The goalkeeper described is novel in its shape, in its use of CO2 as a power source, and in its ability to actually catch the ball and subsequently 'kick' it out at high speed. The last of these attributes also means that the goalkeeper has to coordinate with the rest of the team much more than it would otherwise have to. The Cambridge RFT came top of their group and subsequently fourth overall in the Paris 1998 RoboCup small-size league. In the later stages of the competition the goalkeeper proved highly valuable, and enabled extended periods of play. Although it is difficult to provide empirical data to show the skill of a given team, or the effectiveness of its individual players, descriptions of the goalkeeper in use in a penalty shoot-out, and whilst in play against the CMU '98 team in the semi-final are provided.

It's that time of year again. Time to start planning my Thanksgiving meal, prepare for Black Friday shopping and gear up for the hustle and bustle of the Holiday Season. One thing is for sure, I DO NOT want those dreaded extra Holiday pounds following me around this year. I need to stay fit to shop till I drop, bake up a storm and wrap until my fingers are blue. But I don't want to compromise the quality and integrity of my baked goods and side dishes for the Holidays in an attempt to make a more healthful version. My precious Pumpkin Pie Bars and scrumptious sweet potato bake are only made once a year and my family and I look forward to noshing on it's goodness in all it's glory. So even though I was hesitant (and skeptical), I was determined to cut the fat and calories from two of my favorite side dishes this Thanksgiving. This is something I have NEVER done before. Something that, given the name of my blog, would have ever crossed my mind to experiment with. Are you ready for this? Okay. I, the owner of Buttercream Bakehouse chose to swap out butter for "I can't believe its not butter!" in an attempt to lower my Hubby's cholesterol and to make a more healthy version of my yummy Holiday fare. Gasp! Would it bake the same? Would it taste the same? I had to find out because if this is really true. If it REALLY does taste just like butter and is a healthier option to boot…then I'm down with it.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Bars
Sweet Potato Bake
This recipe is adapted from Paula Deen. It has a lot going on and it's evident in every bite. Plump raisins, sweet coconut, vanilla, pecans, and brown sugar give it such an amazing sweetness that it makes it darn close to be enjoyed as a dessert. Almost like a pudding with crunchy rich topping made with (you guessed it) 1 Stick of I can't believe it's not butter! and it came out just as delicious as ever before. I didn't notice a difference in taste or texture. You really can't tell a thing. Really! Pinky swear.
Sweet Potato Bake
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 stick I can't believe it's not butter
3 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup raisins
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup heavy cream
Heat oven to 350 degrees and place a rack in the center. Lightly grease a large ovenproof casserole dish.
For the topping, in a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, nuts, flour, and 1/4 cup I can't believe it's not butter with a fork; set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together potatoes, granulated sugar, coconut raisins, eggs, extract, and remaining 1/4 cup butter. Stir in cream, combining well.
Spoon into prepared casserole dish. Spread topping over sweet potato mixture and bake until golden brown, 20-30 minutes. Let cool and sprinkle with more coconut in desired amount.
Yields: 6-8 servings.

"I thought we were dead in the water," Eustachy said. "I mean it was about to be the lowest point since I've been here. But like I said on the radio, in the old days I would have gotten thrown out of this game, or cleared the bench and not given us a chance to win."
I think I saw a couple of those games :)

Welcome to the third week of the Plaza Familia Online Book Club! If this is your first visit and you'd like to be part of the club, I'd like to invite you to click here to know more about the rules. During the month of June we've been reading the novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Dominican-Amarican author Junot Dìaz, while the children in the house have been enjoying and learning with The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
Saying that The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is an excellent and very intense book is an understatement, since reading it means being transported to the Dominican Republic, or any other Latin American country where culture, family bonds, and even political vision touch the lives of every character in one way or the other. During the second chapter, I was able to figure out who the narrator was, but in the third it is not very clear. This is, however, something that doesn't make that much of a difference and it doesn't weaken the story.
Particularly, I enjoyed the third chapter very much, not only because it's filled with adventure, but because it is about Beli, Lola and Oscar's mother. We learn about her life in school, her obsession with boys, what she thinks "love" is, the discovery of voluptuous curves that can hypnotize men, and the events that take her on the road of maternity at a very early age.
In the third chapter I found a different narrator and a series of events linked to Oscar's inability to find mutual love, which leads him to attempt suicide.
Next week we'll continue to talk about The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and we'll be sharing our views on chapter 5.
Did you have a chance to find The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle? If so, don't hesitate to tell us about your children's reaction and what they liked most about the book.
Read you later!

LUXEMBOURG, February 7. WORLD champion Katinka Hosszu competed in the first two of a planned 16 event finals today at the long course Euro Meet in the small landlocked country, winning the 800 free and 400 IM with little difficulty.
Hosszu started her day with a meet record 8:29.42 in the 800, erasing the 8:34.88 set by Switzerland's Flavia Rigamonti in 2004. Another world-class swimmer, France's Coralie Balmy, placed second with an 8:36.65 with Germany's Leonie Beck's 8:37.06 placing third.
Unlike many of her multi-event meets, Hosszu had plenty of rest before her next event, the 400 IM, where she posted a 4:37.93 for another meet record. This time, it was her own record of 4:41.18 from last year that she broke. Great Britain's Candice Hall was a distant second with a 4:51.45 to touch out the 4:51.83 by Germany's Kathrin Demler.
Gal Nevo, Laszlo Cseh and Philip Heintz had a close battle in the men's 400 IM, with each enjoying the lead throughout the race. Heintz led after fly with a 58.41 split, with Cseh pulling off a 1:04.4 to take the lead after backstroke. Cseh still was in front after breaststroke with a 1:14.1 split, but Nevo posted a quick 58.6 to win the race in 4:19.06. Cseh was second with a 4:21.54 while Heintz settled for third with a 4:21.65.
France's Damien Joly had a dominating performance in the men's 1500 freestyle, posting a 15:19.18 that was 15 seconds ahead of the 15:34.53 swum by Soren Meissner of Germany and the 15:53.50 by Israel's Marc Henawi.
Hosszu coasted through the only preliminary swim of the day, leading qualifying in the 200 fly with a 2:11.29. She just missed Sara Isakovic's meet record of 2:11.01, but will be gunning for it in tomorrow's finals. A full two seconds back in qualifying was Martina van Berkel with a 2:13.39.
Velimir Stjepanovic of Serbia, a finalist in the 200 fly at the 2012 Olympics, leads qualifying in that event with a 2:00.31. Notably, Cseh, the 2008 Olympic silver medalist in the 200 fly and 2013 world silver medalist in the 100 fly, failed to earn a second swim in the event after his 400 IM race. Cseh posted a surprising 2:09.87 for 23rd place.

As some of you guys may already know, a few weeks ago, I bought a set of post-MMC 8th generation Civic Si rims on Kijiji. It comes with some Roadstone/Nexen Winguard Sport winter tires already mounted and balanced. I did not buy this set for the tires; I already have some Continental ExtremeWinterContacts in P215/45R17, I bought them mainly for the rims for my 2013 Honda Accord. But since they're already mounted and balanced, and it has tons of tread left, why not give it a shot? After all. I will never spend my money on this kind of tire anyway, so this may be my only chance to try them out.
I installed them Sunday afternoon. Yesterday was a holiday, so I did not drive yesterday, but I got quite a bit of highway and city driving on Sunday evening as well as this morning to work It was -7 degrees Celsius this morning, with a bit of snow on the highway, which provides some pretty decent testing ground for a set of performance class winter tires. In my personal opinion:
- Handing: A lot sharper than my ExtremeWinterContacts. The EWCs are quite soft, so I run them at 40 psi... I noticed all Continentals I've used calls for high pressure for best performance; running them at anything less is just unreasonable (My other set is Continental ExtremeContact DWS). The EWCs feel fine normally, almost like all seasons for the most part -- at least in 45 profile -- but quick steering inputs will be dampened thanks to the thick rubber blocks. The Winguard Sport is unquestionably sharper.
- Grip: Not too bad. Didn't have any chance in deep snow and ice, but in light snow with a minute amount of ice, it's pretty decent. If you live in Calgary or Vancouver, these tires are right for the season. (I still prefer studless ice and snow though. I want uncompromised winter performance in deep snow and ice, and tires like the ExtremeWinterContact and X-ice Xi3 does a fine job at behaving like an all season on dry road for the most part.)
- Rolling resistance: Better than my ExtremeWinterContacts, but I bet anything is. The ExtremeWinterContacts have some of the worst rolling resistance I've ever used. I can feel my car drag down when I let go of the gas pedal, and yes, that's at 40 psi. Fuel economy drops about 0.2L/100km to 0.3L/100km compared to my normal winter average using the ExtremeContact DWS, which is really good rolling resistance at 42 psi.
- Noise. Holy crap, they're loud. You can definitely hear the tires at ANY speed. The Winguard Sport is louder at 50km/h than my ExtremeWinterContacts at 100km/h. If noise is a concern, these tires are not for you.
Overall, these are cheap performance tires, and honestly, they're decent for the price. However, if I were to choose between the two, I would definitely get the ExtremeWinterContacts, except they're probably 1.5 to 2x the price. Unless you are interested in cornering like an idiot in the winter, or interested in doing really quick steering inputs repeatedly back and forth on dry road, the EWCs provide much better performance overall, with comparable driving feel as a regular all-season. The Winguard Sport is great if you don't care about noise, interested in sharp steering response when it's cold outside, and want to save cash.

The Africa Comics project aims to promote the work of African cartoonists in Europe, both to the general public and to experts, enabling them to enter the international market. The activities involved in the project have the further aim of making the European public aware of the issue of inter-cultural exchange through the art of comics, a medium that facilitates immediate communication.
Within the Africa Comics project three editions of the Africa e Mediterraneo Award for best unpublished comic strip by African author were organised: 2002, 2003-2004 and 2005-2006.
The project consists in the following activities:
"Recently exposed in institutions such as the Dakar Biennial 2006 and the Studio Museum in Harlem, African comics are more and more winning international fame. In a witty direct way, these artworks disclose ticklish questions, often problematic and sensitive such as political censorship, human rights violation, HIV pandemia, torture in prison or the role of women in society."

Dell looking at selling its factories
Dell is attempting to sell its computer factories located around the world as part of an overhaul of its production strategy. Reports are coming in that Dell is in negotiation with "major contract manufacturers" to sell of most of its facilities. This could happen as early as within the next 18 months, according to reports. Other factories would just close.
The swift transition away from built-to-order PCs--or corporate customers ordering large numbers of desktop PCs--to laptops has left Dell, once the industry leader, lagging behind rivals. By outsourcing the manufacturing, Dell hopes to bring down manufacturing costs. Indeed, investors were left disappointed by quarterly profits that were reported as down 18 percent.
For more on how Dell is doing:

This may be a question for the mechanics but the bikes are old. I want to mix and match my bottom bracket. The shell and cups will be Italian, 70 mm and I have an axle for the cups. A also bought a great Stronglight single chainring cottered crank with a Stronglight axle.
My ideal set-up would be the cranks on the Stronglight axle with the Italian cups because the chainline spacing for the Stronglight axle is for a single chainring. The problem with that is the race spacing on the axle is French, for 68 mm, while the shell would be Italian at 70 mm. Can the the adjustable cup accomodate the 2 mm difference?
I do have an Italian axle to go with the cups. The problem with that axle is the cranks don't fit as well, good enogh though, and that axle is spaced for a double chainring. The chain line wouldn't be as good. That said, this will be for a fixie and no gears will be changed. Unless someone has one to offer, tracking down an Italian cottered axle for a single chainring will probably be a pain in the a$$.
Any opinions?

Each month, on the second Monday, we serve at Loaves and Fishes at the Salvation Army in Coon Rapids, leaving from the church at 4:45. We return at about 7:00 PM. Sign up on the Missions Bulletin board in the hall at church.
Meals on Wheels
Drivers are always needed. Call the church office for contact information to volunteer. We drive one week per month during the lunch hour.
Feed My Starving Children
We serve regularly at Feed My Starving Children. When we serve there we pack meals for children all over the world. This is a way you can make a difference for hungry kids. There are sitting jobs as well as standing jobs.
Family Table
There is always room for more volunteers at our monthly Family Table meal, see
Monthly Meal
. Please contact the Church Office or Judy Lange at least 8 days ahead of time if you are available.
