It was the same frigid 18F this morning, but I'm getting used to it. The first day of this cold snap was brutal, but now I'm getting to enjoy it. It's the summer with 95+ temps and humidity I will truly hate.
I hadn't planned to ride to work but my car broke down, and I got off the wrong stop on the train. I didn't think I'd want to ride in this weather, but given that I had enough clothing on, I was fine.
I didn't pedal downhill, though, because going too fast would have made too much wind and made me colder.

Here's a new one for me:
I know the guy, and figure he either 1) didn't see me, or 2) recognized me and decided to go for it.

I commuted in the snow today. It never snows here, so it was my first time. On my way to work, there was a fresh layer of snow on the roads. Riding on that wasn't too bad. People here get really scared and drive slow, so I was passing some of them. At a traffic light, one guy offered to give me a ride. I was only one mile away to my destination, so I declined the offer. A few times when starting from a stop giving high torque I felt some slipping in the crankarms. I think it might've been too much snow accumulating up or something. I didn't have any problems shifting gears.
On the way back, it was rather slushy and it looked like there was ice. I saw a motorist losing control at one point. I was riding much slower, and it felt a bit slippery at times at the rough hard snowy areas if you know what I mean. A couple times I felt like I was losing control. I never fell. I was using 23 slicks. I didn't like how the snow covers up the pot holes. I think it might be safer to ride in the snow for traction than the mushy areas where the vehicle tires go.

Nice day today, but my squeaky rear derailleur is driving me nuts.
It's fine in the morning, because my bike is clean then, but it always accumulates a bunch of grime during the am commute and squeaks like a pack of rats on the way home. I tried wiping it off with a wet paper towel before departing today, but that didn't help.
Any ideas?
Nice commute today. I live in Seattle and I'm working on a project that is centered in Portland, OR. Once a week I load my bike on the Amtrak train and spend a couple of days in Portland. 5 Miles from the train station to the job site, 5 miles from the job site to the hotel. It's a lot better than driving 200 miles to get there and doesn't really take longer.
I had my first snow ride on the commute home. Definitely more traction in the deeper snow on the shoulder. The bike got a little squirelly at points, but I made it home without any incidents. If I ride in the snow again, I definitely need goggles of some sort; the snow was like little daggers hitting my eyes.
On the plus side, I was enjoying our southern hemisphere summer! Not so good was the car door that swung open in front of me. Smacked my leg leaving a 15mm (~1/2 inch) deep puncture wound. Has now swollen up pretty big!

More positives though - bike is OK aside from a broken seatpost and I stayed upright (well, skidded along the road on my shoes...) so no other skin lost, luckily!
Well, no snow yesterday, no ice nor even rain freezing or otherwise. It was a letdown after all the buildup in the forecasts and in the office, schools closing and people working from home, meetings changing and so on. It was near 4.5°C and overcast, and I just put my windbreaker over my office clothes and enjoyed the ride. Strangely solitary ride.
got drenched today coming in; it was fantastic. Nothing like a little pre-dawn rain and warm temps. It was a great test for my new Ortlieb Sport Packers; eveything in my panniers stayed dry. It's supposed to clear up before the ride home; we shall see.
just an inch of snow last night, yet everythings a skating rink out there
nowhere to go but my chair today
Ride everything. Shave nothing.

Took a new bus route today and it is very convenient. Rode the folder through the woods for a few minutes to the bus stop, folded the bike, and hopped on. Unfold downtown and at work in 2 minutes. Will ride the full way (7.2 miles) home.
The weather is unseasonably warm, with this morning at 63 degrees F. Looks like 80 today and 82 tomorrow, but a cold "snap" coming next week at highs in the upper 60's. I prefer the normal weather this time of year, which is about 10 degrees colder than what we are experiencing.

Warm and wet. Temp was about 35 and I ended up overdressed. Very foggy/misty. I opted to use the bike path by the highway vs the path through the woods just for the extra light. Enjoying being back on my bike.
-11 celcius this morning, quite warm compared to last week -32 celcius. Nice ride in. I've been called 'crazy' twice this morning, the first time by an unknown cager and the second time by a coworker when I got to work. I look at their pale, green faces, their lack of energy and fat surplus and wonder who's crazy? Really?
It was the most comfortable commute in a while - at 40° I finished up in shorts and t-shirt. I eliminated a strong updraft breeze in the bike's front this weekend, after reverting most of the design on my streamliner to an earlier design. Now there is no interior airflow except a shallow breeze up from the pedals, and my aero efficiency seems to be back to what it was on the last iteration. I'm not sure how I'm going to improve the aerodynamics without modifying the bike or using more expensive materials and fabrication.
This should at least keep me comfortable now for considerably lower temperatures but now I'll probably need to rig a vent somehow for the 60-70° expected later this week!

My best (and longest) so far this year. It was just under 50F, overcast but not raining.
I had to contend with some wind but only in brief, infrequent gusts.
I hopped off the MTA earlier for an additional 6 miles or so this morning. It really felt good.

Nashville, like L.A. without a tan.
47F and raining when I left this morning - supposed to get over 50F this afternoon. Wicked headwind (hope it's still there for the ride home) and I felt naked wearing so little clothing. This is one of those weeks where work is messing with my riding - today and Friday are the only days that will I can ride... pesky job
I'm slow, go around
Running late, I had to throw the bike in the station wagon and drive and park and coast in.
Oh well, maybe a lunchtime ride.

ABOARD USS HARRY S. TRUMAN, At Sea (NNS) -- For the third consecutive year, both the air department and damage control division aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) have the distinguished honor of earning the Battle Efficiency, or Battle "E" award.
The award is a reflection of exemplary performance during a series of drills and exercises designed to determine the readiness and reaction capabilities of each department during given situations. As the testing cycle progresses, the drills and exercises become increasingly difficult.
To receive the award, each department must receive a cumulative score of 90 percent during the testing period which spans the calendar year.
"We've been tested, and we've passed," said air department's Flight Deck Handling Officer, Lt. Cmdr. R. D. Jones. "We expect to win again ... not winning isn't even conceivable."
The greatest challenge for Jones and the air department came during the Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) in an exercise called "Battle Flex Deck" when the ship never stopped flight operations. "We maximized what this ship could do in terms of launching, recovering and maintenance of aircraft. I was impressed," said Jones.
Despite the honor of winning for the third year in a row, Jones said he still isn't satisfied. "We worked hard as a department to win the award, and we're going to continue to do our part to make this a great ship, but we want the entire ship to win the Battle E."
Indeed, other departments on the ship are performing up to and above standards, as well. Deck, engineering, medical, navigation, operations, supply and weapons departments all received the Battle E award for 2002.
The Damage Control (DC) Division also won the Battle E for the third year in a row, but Truman's Fire Marshal, Chief Warrant Officer Alan Heckman, was quick to point out that "of all the departmental awards, the award for DC is more a ship award, because it involves everybody. Winning this award shows me we are always at the highest state of readiness."
The DC team's ultimate challenges came during the Inter-Deployment Training Cycle in exercises called "Conflagration" and "Mass Casualty."
According to Heckman, the two exercises determine how the ship can overcome damage in various spaces and how well the training teams work together to successfully complete those exercises.
Like Jones, Heckman expects the DC division to remain competitive. "When we start any year, we set the goal of being competitive. Just because we win doesn't mean we can sit back. We constantly need to train new people and stay at the highest state of readiness."
Overall, eight departments aboard Truman earned the Battle E. Provided air department and DC maintain their string of excellence and efficiency while the other departments follow suit, 2003 could quite literally be a banner year.

3 Comments to "Architecture of Barber"
[…] Vase for Architect Charlie Barber located in Greenwood Cemetery, Knoxville, […]
I've always thought that neoclassical church on 5th Avenue really stood out when I drove by on I-40 through Knoxville. Now I understand why.
I really enjoy the Barber structures found on the Univ. of Tennessee campus…particularly the gothic Ayres Hall and the old library. The architecture is so European-influenced; the buildings have a way of transporting us Tennessee students and staff to imaginations of western european grandeur…to palaces of higher learning. Walking into a "Barber" building transforms our Tennessee hearts and minds. I hope Vestal can sustain the current momentum and keep Candoro thriving. It is wonderful that certain Univ. of Tennessee courses can be taken at the building. It is a very appropriate collaboration.
Barber designed the Riverdale School in east Knox County and the Holston Hills Country Club. Kudos to East Knoxville communities for hanging on to these buildings. Glad to see South Knoxvillians celebrating the presence of Candoro. Wouldn't it be great to see the same type of transformation throughout the Magnolia and "Burlington" area? Knoxville has so many beautiful neighborhoods with the same social scars as Vestal.

The direct cash transfer system of handing out subsidies has received unequivocal support both from the finance ministry and an expert panel set up by the petroleum ministry. This is wholly welcome. It will help the poor, minimise waste in subsidy and welfare payments.
Black marketeering is rampant in today's system of dual pricing where products are available both at a subsidised price and at a market price. Direct transfer of the subsidy amount to consumers will ensure that there would be only one market price for the product, ending the diversion of a subsidised product such as kerosene for sale in the market.

Bitty Bags – any size
Divine Twine
Decoupage Medium or Diluted White Glue
Hallowed-out Eggs / Hard-boiled Eggs
To hollow out eggs: I disinfected a (new) sewing needle with peroxide then poked a tiny hole in one end of my egg (the pointy end). Do this to the other end of the egg as well, opposite the first hole. Move the needle in a circular motion to enlarge the hole a bit. Be gentle so as not to crack your egg. It's okay if the hole becomes larger than you like or if the shell cracks a tiny bit, as we'll be covering this with paper. The second hole should be large enough that you can stick a pointed utensil inside the egg to break up the yoke. I used the stem of a candy thermometer. I've also seen people suggest a knitting needle – but you'd better clean and disinfect it if you plan to eat the egg yolks. You can find another method for hallowing out eggs on Our Best Bites.
After poking the yolk to break it up inside the egg, you will need to hold your egg over a bowl, with the small hole at top. Blow into the hole until all of your egg and yolk are out of the shell and in the bowl. Set the bowl aside to make scrambled eggs!
Rinse both the inside and outside of your shell (you may have to use the blowing method to get the water out). Let the shells dry overnight.
Poor some decoupage medium (or watered down white glue) into a container. Tear your bitty bag into pieces (as shown). Saturate the tears of bitty bag, front and back, in the decoupage medium. Place them onto your egg, one at a time, smoothing the paper as you go. You can layer the bits, as needed.
Lay the decoupaged eggs on wax paper or foil and let them dry overnight.
Alternative method: Cut a strip of bitty bag and wrap it around your egg, securing with a bit of tape. Tie a bow around your egg using Divine Twine. These would be a pretty edition to individual place settings if you are hosting Easter dinner!
Happy Easter!

The United Nations humanitarian agency strongly condemned today a twin suicide bombing at a UN registration point for internally displaced persons (IDPs) fleeing the tribal violence in northwest Pakistan, and temporarily suspended critical services in the area.
"We mourn their loss, and condemn their killing," said Martin Mogwanja, Humanitarian Coordinator in Pakistan.
"These were people who had fled their homes. They had suffered displacement, they'd suffered losing their homes. They'd come to the registration point considering it a safe haven," he added.
Two suicide bombers dressed in burqas attacked the Sherkot Registration point in the city of Kohat as people lined up to register, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Agency (OCHA).
According to Government officials cited in the media, at least 41 people were killed and dozens others injured.
More than a quarter of a million people who fled the fighting in the tribal districts of Orakzai and Kurram are registered as IDPs in Kohat and neighbouring Hangu.
Since December 2009 the United Nations has been providing them with vital assistance, including food and shelter.
OCHA has said it will suspend these critical services temporarily as the security situation is assessed.

I am just about to purchase a new home. It was built within the last year, and has a new gas fireplace. I don't know much about gas fireplaces, but I do know that I hate it! It's in the corner of our living room, and is absolutely hideous. I'd like to get rid of it, but I don't have any idea where to begin. If anyone can give me resources or any ideas on how to get rid of this monstrosity, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

We need a bit more information.
5) IS it vented, direct-vent, or vent-free?
1) Is there brick or stone around it or is it drywalled around it?
2) Is the hearth raised or floor level? What is it made of?
3) Is the fireplace angled into the corner?
4) Its not one the free-standing types (like a stove) is it?

Let's put it this way:
On the multiplayer you will find ranked matches being played but not many at the same time, teamstacking i.e - Mostly ppl over rank 15 on 1 side w/ mostly ppl under rank 10 on the other which translates as seasoned veterans w/ good guns & upgrades V greenhorns w/ suckage weapons & no upgrades.
If you're in the latter it's gonna be tough to get the all weapons upgrades achievement & level 30 achievement.
Another thing, some times when you play the host is a tool, he will sit there for 10 minutes before even starting a match when everyone wants to play. yeah you will probably spend more time in the lobby w/ ppl voting on constant team shuffling & map changing than actually playing the match.
Hosts that will ban you just because they can.
It's a real headache, your best bet is to get some ppl to boost w/ & start there, get your weapons upgraded like this then hit up ranked as you'll be on a level playing field w/ the high rankers once you have the accuracy & ammo upgrades on your most used weapons & well do the same on the weapons you'll never use as some weapons just plain suck.
BTW, finding a room w/ ppl that you wanna boost w/ is easy as pie.
P.S - If you want to boost, send a message to my account on xbox.com or whatever.

Intel IT Business Review
Our senior leaders provide insights into Intel IT best practices
Our senior leaders provide insights into Intel IT best practices
Every day in IT, we have the opportunity to transform traditional thinking and expectations about how IT delivers value that fuels business innovation, partnership, velocity, as well as productivity.
The IT Business Review is a collection of highlights on how Intel IT is delivering valuable innovations through social, mobile, analytics, cloud, and the Internet of Things shared by the IT leaders driving these initiatives inside Intel.
I hope you can use this information as a launchpad for an animated dialogue with your business leaders about how technology and innovation can catapult your business to record levels. As IT professionals, we learn from one another—so please share your insights, challenges, and methodologies with me on Twitter @kimsstevenson or with other IT leaders in the Intel Peer Network.
This year's IT Business Review annual report shares highlights of how IT is delivering value to Intel through innovations in social, mobile, analytics, cloud, and the Internet of Things. These innovations at Intel are driving improvements in productivity, efficiency, time to market, and profitability.
Inside IT presents Intel CIO Kim Stevenson discussing IT leadership, business innovation and risk, and the importance of keeping an eye on the future.
As we adapt our culture and our business to a changing world, social and collaboration technologies are key enablers. They will help us minimize redundancy in our processes, respond to issues more rapidly, and deliver better products, faster. Mike Powell, General Manager of Infrastructure Engineering, discusses.
In the not too distant future, social collaboration will be everywhere, embedded in and pulling information from any number of applications. They will be increasingly utilitarian, personalized, and helpful. In fact, Intel IT is developing a 'recommender' tool that will recognize your current context and proactively suggest people, social groups, and content that may be able to help. Cindy Pickering, Principal Engineer for Collaboration and Productivity, discusses.
For the last four years, Intel IT has been on a quest to define the future of a global, user centric, business optimized collaboration. We put together a snapshot to show you the milestones in our journey.
By aggressively adopting new technologies, the IT organization can take advantage of new capabilities and interfaces. It can boost workforce productivity and mobility. And it can maintain its leadership position in the industry. Doron Mintz, Personal Client Platforms Service Manager, discusses how adopting new technologies internally helps us be leaders externally.
Intel IT has been investing in a social collaboration platform—known as Inside Blue—that complements email-based communications and teamwork. Cheryl Dilley, Collaboration Portfolio Program Manager, discusses how the platform helps bring people, intelligence and resources together in an environment for widespread collaboration, problem solving, and idea cultivation.
There are circumstances where public cloud services are truly advantageous. We sometimes use the public cloud for innovation and experimentation, for example. Doing so allows us to quickly create new computing resources, while maintaining the ability to abandon those projects—and associated resources—just as quickly. Cathy Spence, Intel IT Principal Engineer, discusses.
For 2014, we have aligned our IT priorities to Intel's key focus areas. Building on 2013, we will extend our investments in social, mobile, analytics, and the cloud (SMAC) to accelerate Intel® products' time to market, grow revenue, and improve operational efficiency.
We are the IT organization inside Intel's large, diverse, and multinational business. A business with a wide variety of operational requirements and needs. Here, we offer a quick look inside.
Chris Sellers, General Manager of Intel IT Information Security, discusses our "protect to enable" security strategy, based on the implicit assumption that compromise is inevitable.
David Aires, General Manager of IT Operations, explains how Intel IT is embracing the consumerization of IT, and in doing so, becoming more relevant, more influential, and more impactful.
Because time is of the essence in all product development programs, Intel IT must support—and ultimately drive—the pace of change and the rate of progress at every stage of every project. Dan McKeon, Intel IT Vice President and General Manager of Product Development IT, explains how Intel IT is helping accelerate and transform the product design process.
Teamwork starts with listening. Listening leads to understanding. Understanding fosters alignment and informed activity. Intel IT executives share their methods for taking the pulse of a user community and using the feedback to shape IT strategies, activities, and investments.
Today's disruptive technologies are from the combined effect of social, mobile, analytics, and the cloud (SMAC) enabling a new customer experience. See how Intel IT has embraced the SMAC stack.
KC Quah, Supply Chain IT Strategic Planner, showcases how IT is making bold moves to accelerate Intel's business by delivering support capabilities for Intel's supply chain and corporate services.
Aziz Safa, General Manager of Intel IT's Enterprise Capabilities, discusses how his teams are helping empower business groups to solve problems, identify opportunities, create efficiencies, and mine value from the information throughout Intel.
Itay Yogev, Advanced Analytics Director for Intel IT, discusses how his teams implemented a 5-6-10 rule (5 people, 6 months, $10 million in ROI) around Intel IT's big data projects to prove they are achievable and valuable and are now moving to even bigger opportunities.
Over the past few years, Intel IT has investigated the concept behind big data technologies and we now have many of the capabilities running in our production environment. As Intel IT Labs continues to work and explore new and innovative solutions, they are focused on three areas. Ed Goldman, Intel IT CTO, breaks them down for us.
Intel IT's Ken Burns discusses an advanced predictive analytic solution for our sales team that mines large data sets to identify the most promising reseller business partners—which can become a significant competitive differentiator for Intel.
Big Data is still very new. This means that the infrastructure platforms on which big data analytics are performed, are also relatively new. However, this doesn't mean enterprises shouldn't pursue big data success. Chandhu Yalla, Business Intelligence Engineering Manager for Intel IT, discusses one big data strategy and three massively parallel processing platforms.
Intel IT's David Schaefer talks about the development of Intel's self-service BI program, and how that program has improved the decision-making capabilities of Intel IT's business users.
Intel's vision is to create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on earth. This, coupled with changes in the market, is driving shifts across Intel. Almost all the changes we are making have an IT component. Intel IT is redefining our relationship with the business to help transform the company. This transformation begins with IT Leadership. Intel VP and CIO Kim Stevenson explains.
Every day Intel IT teams are working in the background ensuring a great customer experience. So what does it take to make that happen? Well, we put together a snapshot to show you.
As consumer technologies spread throughout the enterprise, Intel IT began investing significant resources over extended periods of time to design, certify, and deploy solutions across multiple platforms. It became evident that we needed to modify our approach to support modern platforms and deliver timely solutions to our users without driving up application costs. Intel IT CTO Ed Goldman discusses our approach.
"Whether it's exploratory or targeted, we have a process for identifying, prioritizing, and pursuing the opportunities that hold promise. It all boils down to use cases and business value, continually seeking new answers to an enduring question: how do we make things better, faster, and/or cheaper?" Ed Goldman, Intel IT CTO and general manager of the Intel IT Strategy, Architecture and Innovation group.
Failure is an uncomfortable topic. Nobody wants to admit their setbacks, let alone call attention to them. For Intel IT Labs, however, failure is an acknowledged and expected aspect of the job and a necessary ingredient of the innovation process.
How can applications be developed so they work on any platform, any operating system, any device—even ones that have yet to be conceived? Intel IT is creating a new app development paradigm to withstand the test of time, working towards a reality where multi-platform apps will be easily adapted for current platforms as well as the next set of innovations, whether it's an entirely new operating system, consumer device, or user interface.
As far as Intel IT leaders are concerned, analyzing massive quantities of data is not the endgame. It's just the beginning. Intel IT's Deep Insights research is exploring how to take big data to the next level, adding elements of crowdsourcing, data visualization, and machine learning to deliver greater insights, more accurate predictions, and untold value.
Imagine a computing platform that understands you, helping you do what you want to do exactly when you want to do it. Intel IT researchers believe Intel Dynamic UX will one day reshape people's computing experiences at work, benefiting them and the IT teams and industries providing support.
Get innovative ideas, best practices, and groundbreaking IT strategies from the experts inside Intel's own IT department.
We have just the place for you. From data center to devices, the Intel IT Center has the expert insights, guidance, and resources you need to get your IT projects done right.

American to Run More In-Flight Wi-Fi Tests
Fliers looking forward to the prospect of in-flight Web access should be pleased by the prospect of carriers continuing their dry runs for Wi-Fi. Reports out earlier this week — via a geeky chain of online publications: Computerworld to Wired to Engadget — say American Airlines will run more tests of in-flight Wi-Fi "in the coming weeks," according to a spokeswoman. From Computerworld's original report:
The test will be performed on 15 jets and will run for as long as six months. Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Virgin America and Jet Blue also have limited tests or projects underway.
Some airlines have already announced that pricing will be roughly in line with what it might cost to connect to a Wi-Fi network in an airport for a day — about $10 to $12. American has stated that its wireless service will cost $12.95 for flights that are three hours or longer.
An American spokeswoman told the Terminal that Computerworld's report was correct. She also said that the program would be rolled out on AA's fleet of 767-200s, dedicated to flights between New York's Kennedy Airport and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.
A few weeks back, The WSJ's Walt Mossberg got a sneak preview of some of American's new in-flight technology, which is provided through a partnership with a company by the name of Aircell. Aircell, by the way, is also working with Virgin America on developing in-flight Web technology.
Check out the video (above left). And if any Terminal readers happen to end up on a flight that tests the service out, feel free to ping us — email@example.com — with your thoughts, or a even a picture of your mile-high Web experience.

I've never experienced an O ring problem and I've been using CO2's since the mid nineties.

I've never experienced an O ring problem and I've been using CO2's since the mid nineties.
I ride on Armadillo tyres with oversized thorn resistant tubes, heavy as hell, yes --but I don't even have to worry about the whole Co2. vs Pump debate :-) ...I could ride on a flat in the unlikely event I had one:D
Bonus: some of the weight gained by the tyres and chambers is lost by ditching the pump/Co2. apparatus....
It's not a race. I carry a very small pump, two tubes, Park tool patches, and two CO2 cartridges. No way am I walking or hitching a ride. Or anybody I ride with, or see on the road stranded. Unless I'm training, then I can't stop to help. Don't want my heart rate to fall below 185bpm. <;^)Quote:

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Quote:

Damned infernal shrinking molecules... :D
CO2 isn't air, merely a component of air (carbon dioxide), that accounts for like 2% by volume. Air is primarily Nitrogen (like 78%, but I forget the actual figures), and Oxygen. I don't know where you got that description, but it appears to be wrong on all counts (although I'm no expert).
The Co2 in the canisters is compressed under pressure to a liquid, so as it expands it absorbs heat. Each molecule doesn't "expand", merely the spaces in between, when the CO2 goes from a high pressure environment to a lower one.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily explain why the C02 leaks quicker than anything else. I'm relatively certain air isn't a molecule (merely a gaseous mixture), so we can't really compare the "sizes" of molecules.
And you know, the O-ring failure might be a result of the ring being cooled rapidly as the Co2 flows by, which would dry it out and crack it. I guess oiling it heavily with silicone or something might help, or just keep a spare packet of o-rings that you use once each.
I suppose I should say something insightful rather than simply reacting...Quote:

We assume for now that this is a closed system which is not entirely true as we will see later. Thus we have:
- P = Pressure
- V = Volume
- n = number of moles
- R = Universal gas constant
- T = Temperature
Pcyl Vcyl / ncyl R Tcyl = Ptube Vtube / ntube R Ttube
Now n is a constant and is fixed (ncyl = ntube) as of course is R, thus our relationship becomes:
Pcyl Vcyl / Tcyl = Ptube Vtube / Ttube
Initially Pcyl > Ptube. As the gas from the cylinder flows into the tube, Ptube starts to go up and Pcyl starts to decrease. However, bear in mind that Vtube also increases. Because Vcyl is fixed, in order to preserve the relationship, Tcyl must decrease. This is why the cylinder gets cold.
The gas expands from a smaller volume in the cylinder to a larger volume in the tube. The ratio of this expansion combined with the initial pressure in the cylinder directly governs the final pressure inside the tube when everything has come to equilibrium. The molecules of the gas do not expand or shrink. The space between them does. All molecular sizes are governed by the composition of their atoms and their atomic bonds.
Now we come to why tyres filled with CO2 go flat faster than with air. CO2 molecules are more permeable and soluable in butyl rubber than other molecules in air. Thus when a tube is filled with air, the CO2 molecules will tend to permeate and leak through the rubber faster than the other components of other gases in the air. This leaves other gasses such as Nitrogen and Oxygen (amongst others) to linger around longer. When a tube is filled with just CO2, the rate of leakage is the same as that of the CO2 leaking out through the tube filled with air but since there's only CO2 to leak, the tube will go flat faster.
BTW, CO2 doesn't necessarily leak through rubber faster because of its size but because of how the molecules in rubber attract CO2 better than Oxygen or Nitrogen. As a result, the CO2 permeates the rubber which then swells and thus allows more molecules to escape.
Note - Writing equations with vBcodes sucks!
Thanks, now I understand why my coke goes flat sitting out after a couple of hours....:)Quote:

I've always been a pump user, but I'm thinking about switching over to CO2, not so much for the weight, but because it's quite a bit smaller. Where's a good place to put a pump on a modern road bike?
I'm pro-CO2, but I have experienced a mechanical failure on a pump...it was the impetus for me switching to CO2 :DQuote:

Genuine Innovations has a pretty cool device out called the "Second Wind" that's basically a CO2 system with an integrated backup pump. Only pumps to a max of 90 psi, but it's enough to limp home.
This was the 1st link to come up: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/....cfm?SKU=16497
Then you'll never be stranded, even when your CO2 molecules shrink :)
That's why I switched to CO2 back in '98, bought a CF bike that had no pump pegs. Now I'd never go back.Quote:

And it fits in the saddle bag or jersey pocket, no problem.
Hey here's another possibillity based solely on conjecture (nothing). The valve freezes and expands when the CO2 is released . When you tighten it, it is still cold. When it warms up to ambinet it is a little loose and does not hold pressure as effectively.
How do you maintain the o-ring in the inflator? Dab of silicone grease?
I use the Crank Brother's Power Pump. It fits into a small saddlebag with no problems. Used it yesterday to help out some stranded cyclists who used up both of their CO2 cartridges on a tire they pinched while replacing.
I'm sorry, I've got to be honest, his explanation was a lot more fun than yours. I'm sticking with the expanding molecule explanation.;)

My initial plan was to find as many recaps as possible of yesterday's game between the 49ers and Jaguars that were published by the major UK news outlets, figuring they'd have some cheeky things to say about the Jags, the team the NFL is so intent on foisting upon London. What a great idea, how oh-so-clever.
There were only a few problems:
- A lot of the main outlets were subscription-only.
- The Mirror and Telegraph had the same game story.
- The only two original recaps I found were totally devoid of cheekiness. No cheek at all! Totally by the book, like British versions of the AP.
I was about ready to give up and start placing some waiver claims on Marvin Jones in my fantasy football leagues, and then I got lost in the abyss of the comments section of The Guardian's account of the game. Granted, this was in The Guardian's U.S. section. But the language and overall tenor of the comments in this section didn't seem like anything one would see on mainstream site in America (like SFGate, ESPN or Yahoo).
Wait … the "Mexican Wave"???
grumpyben: Incidentally, don't American commentators realise that when a British crowd do a Mexican Wave, they are signalling boredom or mockery of the events on the pitch?
"Shambolic" is a good word that's probably worth stealing:
adlindley: The Jags play in the NFL in the same sense that a child plays in traffic.
setyourselfonfire > adlindley: Couldn't have put it better myself. They've been shambolic for years. I fear that the era of decent Ravens teams is well and truly over now though 🙁
Too bad their style of head protection isn't the worst thing about the team …
Grumbly1: And finally I need to get one thing off my chest – I HATE the Jags helmets!! They look so ugly, like someone has broken into the locker room and spray painted the front of each one. I'm usually a big fan of the modern uniform changes that the NFL has introduced in recent years, but this is just plain wrong.
San Francisco 49ers = Manchester United (according to the surprisingly lucid GeoffeyManboob):
GeoffeyManboob: Clinical performance by one of the best teams in the NFL at the moment. While the Jags are bad (possibly the understatement of the year), the 49ers showed why they are so good. Superb execution right across all facets of the game.
While people look at the score and criticise that the game is a mismatch, this result is no different from Man U beating a lower league side in the cup or England winning by an innings against Bangladesh in a test match. It's all about understanding the context of the performance.
Cultural differences aside …
goulash123: A few observations though about what I thought was some really weird aspects to the evening, and reminded me that America is another world entirely, and it was odd to transplant it so completely here:
– The overt militarism. US Army everywhere, videos on 'hometown heroes', military symbols all over the place etc. Totally alien and out of place at a sporting event in my view.
– The objectification of women – the cheerleaders, probably fair enough, but videos of players saying whether they prefer Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell, with videos of players panting and gurning? Really?! I'd love to take my young daughter next year, but this is just casual sexism and I'm not sure that I want to expose her to this kind of message
-Being ordered to stand for the national anthem?! of another country? that was strange…
-Video screens saying 'wave your flags', 'make some noise', umm no. British crowds won't go in for being told when to cheer, WTF?!.
-Mexican waves – please no. These only happen when what's happening on the field is dull, and that so many went round, speaks a lot.
Some of the pitch side entertainmnet (that you don't see on telly) was mildly diverting, and at times quite amusing (the 'streaker' for example)
All in all though a good evening, and I could definitely get interested in this, especially if in the fantasy where a team played full time in London, I could probably muster enough interest to go at least a few times in a season. So I suppose from that point of view, the International Series could probably be considered a success, if it turns a curious neutral into a ticket buyer.
A reasoned, calm response to the previous commenter (the UK is a different world):
Applespider > goulash123: >The atmosphere overall was OK, but I would be interested to know how it compared (level of noise etc) to an actual home NFL game.
Nowhere near it. At an actual game where 90% of the crowd are home fans and determined to make noise to disrupt offense, it's very very different. However, it does generally have more of a family feel since there's less intensity in the crowd so less bad language and behaviour to 'rival' fans.
– The objectification of women – the cheerleaders, probably fair enough, but videos of players saying whether they prefer Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell, with videos of players panting and gurning?
That jarred with me too and I'll be sending some feedback to say that I don't think that was acceptable.
-Video screens saying 'wave your flags', 'make some noise', umm no. British crowds won't go in for being told when to cheer, WTF?!.
In the NFL, the crowd are encouraged to make a noise when their team is on defense to disrupt the signals from the offense. They put those signs up in the US too…
-Mexican waves – please no. These only happen when what's happening on the field is dull, and that so many went round, speaks a lot.
Indeed although I don't think they are co-ordinated by the organisers but by groups of fans when THEY are bored and kick it off. I hate the Brit tendency to do it even when there's action happening on the field. They do it everywhere – even at the Olympics when hockey teams were driving for a goal.
That Harbaugh bloke has got a bloody cannon:
Applespider: The other thing not mentioned above that made me smile this weekend was at the fan rally. They'd been asking people on stage to toss a few footballs out to the crowd. Mostly they'd land somewhere between the stage (at the foot of the column) and the fountains. Until they gave it to Jim Harbaugh… He pulled his arm back, let go and it ended up virtually in the National Gallery. I guess that's why he was an NFL QB!
That's right, no comments about how the Jaguars "loose" every game or commenters writing "YOUR AN IDIOT" at each other. What does it all mean? Not much, since we'll all go back to following the game of American football in all its militaristic glory and ignoring what's going on in England — all of us besides the Premier League fans, anyway.
A running theme in the comments was how people seemed open to and in some cases enthusiastic about the idea of the NFL installing a franchise in London full-time. Then again, people who take the time to comment on a game played at Wembley might be a tad more interested in the NFL's future plans than the average British citizen. But while it was difficult to find much coverage from the British media, the sellout crowd and comments underneath The Guardian's story show why Roger Goodell is so keen on this whole London thing. We'll see if British fans still feel the same way after three straight years of hosting the Jags.

Trafficking in Persons Report 2008 - Austria

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
AUSTRIA (Tier 1)
Austria is a transit and destination country for women trafficked from Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Slovakia, and Nigeria for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Some of these women are trafficked through Austria to Italy, France, and Spain. Women from Africa are trafficked through Spain and Italy to Austria for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Authorities report a decrease in the number of children from Bulgaria and Romania trafficked to Austria for the purposes of forced petty theft and sexual exploitation.
The Government of Austria fully complies with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. In 2007, Austria provided generous funding to prevention programs in source countries. Austrian Police conducted several investigations with other European governments, resulting in the successful disruption of several large-scale human trafficking networks.
Recommendations for Austria: Continue to ensure a majority of convicted traffickers serve adequate time in prison; continue to improve victim identification by further sensitizing law enforcement and judicial personnel to the indicators of human trafficking; continue to collect comprehensive national law enforcement trafficking statistics; and continue to take measures to reduce domestic demand for commercial sex acts.
The Austrian government continued to demonstrate anti-trafficking law enforcement efforts over the reporting period. Article 104(a) of the Austrian Criminal Code prohibits trafficking for both sexual exploitation and forced labor. Prosecutors typically use Articles 104(a) and 217 of the criminal code as well as Article 114 of the Aliens Police Act to prosecute traffickers. Penalties prescribed in Article 104(a) and Article 114 range up to 10 years' imprisonment while penalties in Article 217 range from six months' to 10 years' imprisonment. These sentences are sufficiently stringent and commensurate with those prescribed for other grave crimes, such as rape. In 2007, police conducted 89 trafficking investigations, compared to 93 investigations conducted in 2006. Authorities conducted 222 prosecutions in 2007, up from 137 the previous year. Conviction data for 2007 was unavailable at the time of this report; however, in 2006, Austrian courts convicted 18 trafficking offenders, down from 25 convictions in 2005. In 2006, 13 out of 18 convicted traffickers served some time in prison; six traffickers served one to six months' imprisonment, six traffickers served six to 12 months' imprisonment, and one trafficker served one to three years' imprisonment.
Austria sustained its victim assistance efforts during the reporting period. The government continued to fund a key anti-trafficking NGO that provided shelter and assistance to victims in Vienna; federal and local governments also funded seven immigration and domestic abuse centers that assisted victims outside of Vienna. Victims have access to the Austrian social system including health insurance. Police referred many of the 170 victims assisted by NGOs in 2007, compared to 90 victim referrals in 2006. Thirty-three victims were provided with government-provided shelter in 2007. The government encourages victims to assist with investigations and prosecutions of traffickers. Austria provides victims with a 30-day reflection period, a time for victims to receive immediate care and assistance while they consider whether to assist law enforcement. Victims who agree to cooperate with law enforcement qualify for temporary residence visas, although the number of trafficking victims granted temporary visas in 2007 was unknown. Victims who are not identified by authorities are sometimes involuntarily repatriated.
Austria improved efforts to raise general domestic awareness of trafficking. Domestic awareness efforts were directed at victims of trafficking rather than "clients" of Austria's legal and regulated sex trade. There were approximately 2,800 legal and illegal brothels operating in Austria during the reporting period. In 2007, the government subsidized a movie, which was shown in Austrian movie theaters entitled "Shortly Before it Happened," a semidocumentary based on narratives of real women who were trafficked into prostitution in Europe, as a means of raising awareness of human trafficking. In February 2008, Austria hosted a UN anti-trafficking conference which received high-level attention in the Austrian media. The government funds an NGO-run course to sensitize Austrian troops on human trafficking before they are deployed on international peacekeeping missions. Austria adequately monitors its borders for signs of trafficking and border officials screen for potential trafficking victims. In 2007, the Ministry of Economics launched a campaign encouraging Austrian tourists and travel agencies to report suspected cases of child sex tourism involving Austrian nationals abroad. Austrian law allows the extraterritorial prosecution of Austrian nationals who travel abroad to engage in child commercial sexual exploitation. In December 2007, one Austrian man was sentenced to two years for traveling to India and purchasing commercial sex acts from children ranging from six to nine years of age.

Spillover from fighting in Sierra Leone resulted in several international terrorist acts in Guinea during 2000. Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels crossed the border into Guinea from Sierra Leone on 7 September and kidnapped two foreign Catholic priests who escaped their captors in early December. On 17 September suspected RUF rebels from Sierra Leone attacked and killed a Togolese United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees staff employee and kidnapped an Ivorian secretary.

BEND, Ore. (AP) — Deschutes County health officials say the drinking water at a Central Oregon resort has been contaminated by E. coli bacteria.
The county health department said in a statement Friday that visitors have been sickened. The bacteria hasn't been confirmed as the cause of the disease.
It said the Elk Lake Resort southwest of Bend has closed its restaurant, and people in cabins have been advised to use bottled water or boil water from the resort's plumbing.
It says there have been no reports of illness among people in campgrounds around the Elk Lake area. The water supply for campground facilities comes from a separate water source managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

God knew I was young, nineteen, with two kids going to school full time, me, not them. My only income was from my dad's G.I bill (which allowed him to send two dependents to school, providing me with $211 a month), $100 child support check and whatever schools grant money I had left over after purchasing books and paying tuition. With $311 monthly I paid rent, utilities included,(don't envision something fancy for $120 monthly, though the roaches I shared the accommodations with thought they were in roach heaven), bought groceries, with the temporary help of food stamps,(they embarrassed me so I eventually weaned myself from them), gas for my $10 car,(bet you can't find one like that anymore, simply because that one caught on fire on my way to school one day.),nice fairly elaborate Christmas and birthday splashes for my kids, (guilt relief for them having to struggle through school with me), with enough left over for a small savings account. This was in the late '70's. I doubt this could be achieved today. Car insurance was not required back then so that was a tremendous savings. I also had wonderful parents who did free babysitting, picked my food up at the commissary on base for an added savings, and they threw in unsolicited butt kicking whenever I got discouraged and threatened to quit school.
You can see how every cent counted in my household. One afternoon a few days after I received my child support check I puttered out to the bank in my lovely car (sarcasm, did you catch it?), to discover I was check-less. I went back home and turned over ever leaf as I looked for that important piece of bank paper valued at a meager $100.00. I opened every school book, emptied every dresser drawer, dumped the trash on the floor, (the roaches appreciated that, it was like take-out for them), scrounged through the toy chests, and then stuck my hand in every shirt, skirt and pants pocket that hung in my closet or was stuffed in my hamper. I was devastated. No check. I was on the verge of some heavy crying.
That night I went to bible study and asked for prayers. Suggestions galore rolled off every tongue, (but no love offerings in the way of hard cash). I got free advice and many suggestions on where to continue my search, none of which panned out when I got home. Finally the obvious reaction came from the group. "Don't worry, God knows where it is." Nice sentiment from people who didn't need $100 as badly as I did. God definitely didn't need it, so why wouldn't he share his knowledge with me!!! He owned the cattle on a thousand hills, at least give me something for my money: a brisket, roast, a hundred pounds of hamburger meat.
Weeks went by and I gave up the hunt. The check was hopelessly lost. I would make do, after all God had taught me he would meet my needs even if he did hide my money. I pillaged from my savings and continued living on a shoestring, which is pretty tasty with sufficient Italian sauces and spices. Good for roughage.
One sleepless night after studying for one of my finals I picked up some light reading and fluffed my pillows. I stretched, yawned, leaned back, and opened my book. Something fluttered to the bed covers. Thinking it was just scratch paper I crunched it up and tossed it into the wastebasket across the room....then on after thought I flew after it. Guess what it was; yep, my check. All wrinkled but still cashable. The light reading? My bible. It had been a light for my path for many years and now it was still shining forth with help and wisdom and releasing its bounty. I'd been reading this book regularly over the past few weeks yet God choose his perfect time for the check to dislodge from whatever pages it was stuck between. I now remembered why I placed it there when I had received it, to keep it secure till I made it to the bank. My prayer group was correct. God did know where the errant check was. He revealed it to me only after reminding me he was my sufficiency. I informed him I learned my lesson and he didn't need to repeat the question on the final exam.

Damon back with AffleckMatt Damon is planning to work with Ben Affleck again.
The best friends shot to fame when they co-wrote and starred in 'Good Will Hunting' together, but after Damon's career rocketed and Affleck starred in a series of flops, it was widely believed they would never work together again.
It now seems 'Bourne Identity' star Damon is considering reuniting the pair.
Damon said: "Ben and I found a project to co-direct that we might be able to get off the ground. We're on the hunt for something good.
"Directing feels like a natural extension. It just feels like I've got to try it."
Damon, 36, has made millions playing Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy, as well as starring in a string of box office hits, including 'Ocean's Eleven', 'The Departed' and 'The Talented Mr Ripley'.
Affleck recently said he had given up hoping for success after his films 'Gigli' and 'Jersey Girl' flopped spectacularly and were ridiculed by critics.
However, his latest film 'Hollywoodland' has been well received and he is being tipped for Oscar success.

Medical Myths Debunked
Can you tell the difference between medical fact and fiction?
Jean Lawrence
ReviewedBy Michael Smith
You don't want to be an April fool -- or any kind of fool -- when it comes to your health. Yes, those old wives knew a thing or two, but they never went to medical school or conducted a scientific study. Are you sure you know the answers to the following?
1: Chewing gum takes seven years to pass through your digestive system.
____ True ____ False _____ Only Juicy Fruit
ANSWER: False. The gum component itself is pretty indigestible, but will "pass" in a mass and will not stick your insides together, either. This one probably got going when exasperated parents tired of buying more gum after half an hour because their kids had chomped, then swallowed, their allotment. Also, swallowing gum was seen as ignorant and lower class.
"My husband's mother told him he would grow a gum tree in his stomach!" Loraine Stern, MD, clinical pediatrics professor at UCLA, tells WebMD.
Incidentally, the desire to chew for chewing's sake is quite ancient. Our ancestors used to chap away at tree resin. Did you know that Santa Anna of Alamo fame first turned gum manufacturers onto the gum resin. He thought it would be a good substitute for rubber. It's OK to swallow the occasional watermelon seed, too, unless you suffer from intestinal inflammation. Doctors are pretty sure watermelon seeds do not grow into full-fledged watermelons.

conjugated estrogens (oral) (cont.)
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking conjugated estrogens (Cenestin, Enjuvia, Premarin)?
Do not use conjugated estrogens if you have:
To make sure you can safely take conjugated estrogens, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
Conjugated estrogens increase your risk of developing endometrial hyperplasia, a condition that may lead to cancer of the uterus. Taking progestins while using conjugated estrogens may lower this risk. If your uterus has not been removed, your doctor may prescribe a progestin for you to take while you are using conjugated estrogens.
Long-term use of conjugated estrogens may increase your risk of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, or blood clot. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks before using conjugated estrogens long term, especially if you smoke or are overweight. Your doctor should check your progress on a regular basis (every 3 to 6 months) to determine whether you should continue this treatment.
FDA pregnancy category X. This medication can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not use conjugated estrogens if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. Use effective birth control while you are using this medication.
Conjugated estrogens can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medicine may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give this medication to anyone under 18 years old without the advice of a doctor.
How should I take conjugated estrogens (Cenestin, Enjuvia, Premarin)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Conjugated estrogens are sometimes taken on a daily basis. For certain conditions, the medication is given in a cycle, such as 3 weeks on followed by 1 week off. Follow your doctor's instructions.
If you see what looks like part of a conjugated estrogen tablet in your stool, talk with your doctor.
Have regular physical exams and self-examine your breasts for lumps on a monthly basis while using conjugated estrogens.
Use conjugated estrogens regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition and not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Your thyroid function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.

Dr. Marc A. Judson Recognized as Sarcoidosis Expert
January 22, 2014 - Albany , NY
ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2014 - Marc A. Judson, M.D., chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Albany Medical Center, has been recognized as one of the top sarcoidosis experts in the world based on the substantial research he has done in the field.
Expertscape.com, a website that evaluates researchers based on the numbers of articles published and the quality of the publications accepting the research, ranks Dr. Judson as the world's top-ranked expert in pulmonary sarcoidosis, and second-ranked in sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect any organ in the body, most commonly the lungs, skin or eyes. Although rarely fatal, sarcoidosis can cause organ damage leading to a decreased quality of life. Dr. Judson is the only sarcoidosis specialist in the region, and has evaluated and/or treated more than 400 patients for the disease since May 2011.
"The sarcoidosis research we are conducting at Albany Med is providing important insights into the causes of and treatments for this debilitating disease," Dr. Judson said.
Dr. Judson has had at least 32 articles published on pulmonary sarcoidosis, and 81 on sarcoidosis, over the past decade.
Dr. Judson's specialties include pulmonary and critical care medicine, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, fungal diseases of the lung, evaluation of shortness of breath and pulmonary complications of solid organ and bone marrow transplantation.

Hospital Impact has been ranked one of the top 50 healthcare blogs by Wikio.
Blogs we like:
Sometimes we do a job for so long that we lose perspective. We think "been there, done that." But with a new year just beginning, it's a great time to take a fresh look.
I recently had the opportunity to interview a candidate to fill an open position on our media relations team in replace of a colleague who recently left. I developed four questions I thought would give me a good sense of her work style and skills and where her passion lies. Getting a better feel for that would help me determine if she was a good fit for our team.
The interview went really well, and the questions did exactly what I hoped. They led us to a much deeper discussion of how things have changed in the world of public relations, marketing, and inevitably, social media.
As I spoke with her, though, I realized our discussion was actually making me reexamine how we do things. As a result, I came up with two essential actions hospitals should consider when launching their own marketing plans and social media efforts in the new year.
Blogging - Don't have a blog? That's understandable. While incredibly valuable from a content marketing standpoint, they are time and resource intensive. So why not counter that by looking for guest blog opportunities for your experts. They could be either one-time posts on a breaking news item or a regular column on timely topics. Either way, by selecting well-respected and well-read sites (think KevinMD, Women's Health or Psychology Today), you're positioning your expert among a whole new segment in the population. Be sure to include links to your social sites so these new readers, in turn, can connect with you there.
What's on your calendar - Hopefully you've got a calendar for social media, similar to an editorial calendar that will guide your content through the year, at least on a general basis. But is that working for you? How are you developing that calendar--are you building it in a silo, or as part of a team looking at the larger objectives and mission within the organization? Does the calendar include posts that will build engagement and trust for your brand, or is it only a placeholder to support tactics in the marketing plan? It's a new year, and it's time to evaluate your calendar and its content.
That brings me to another topic I didn't discuss with the candidate, but something that needs to be addressed on a regular basis:
Analytics - That dreaded word. But the fact is, if you're not looking at how your social media efforts are working, then they are probably not worth doing. We all know resources are short, especially financial ones, but the back-end analytics on many of the more popular social media sites like Google+, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter are all free. (As a side note, if you set up a Twitter advertising account, you will then have access to the analytics for your account. On Pinterest, as long as you verify your website, you also will have access to the analytics.) These give you a snapshot of what is and isn't working in your social media plan.
You also can dig as deeply as you'd like in many of them. I've found Tweet Reach for Twitter accounts, campaigns and hashtags. For Pinterest, you can check out one of my favorites, Tailwind (formerly PinReach). If you do have a budget for it, then you've got even more choices. The fact is, though you can still analyze what you're doing at a basic level for free, you want to be sure you're moving in the right direction and not wasting your time in the social world.
Those are three things we should all be looking at as we start the new yea; but there are plenty more. What are you reevaluating this year in terms of your social media plan?

Accessed via the seventeenth-century Porta Férrea (the "iron gate" that once stood here), the Velha Universidade is housed in the former royal palaces. You'll need to buy a ticket to look round it, though you're free to enjoy the city views from the terrace to one side of the square. Biblioteca Joanina and the Academic Prison Highlight of the Velha Universidade is the Biblioteca Joanina, a Baroque confection of cleverly-marbled wood, gold leaf, imposing frescoed ceilings and elaborate trompe-l'oeil decorations. The ancient library was installed in 1717 by Dom João V, whose portrait surveys his legacy from the library walls, which are lined with some 250,000 books dating back to the twelfth century. At busy times, you'll be ushered on from the library after a few minutes to the so-called Academic Prison in the basement below. This proved that studying was no laughing matter: the windowless cell was used until 1832 to punish badly behaved students. Capela de São Miguel and Sala dos Capelos After leaving the library, glance into the adjacent Capela de São Miguel, a sixteenth-century chapel with a splendid eighteenth-century Baroque organ, then head up the grand double stairway from the central square to the Sala dos Capelos. This series of grand rooms was once part of the royal palace and then became an ornate venue for students to sit their exams, beneath the portraits of former monarchs and university rectors. The rooms are still used to award degree certificates: previous graduates include epic poet Luís de Camões, writer Eça de QueirÓs and twentieth-century dictator Salazar. Don't miss the narrow balcony outside that gives grand views across the town. The clock tower Those with a head for heights can climb the somewhat claustrophobic spiral stairs to the top of the eighteenth-century clock tower for spectacular views over the entire area. The tower is nicknamed cabra (the goat), an unaffectionate term lamenting its role in summoning students to lessons. Repúblicas

Jolt Cut-Out Back Top is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 2 out of 5 by KayCee11 from Colorful but ill fitting This shirt is gorgeous and vibrant, however the fit is just awful. The back has a cutout going on and weighs a lot more than the front, so it seems that it pulls it down in the back. The front is a very still chiffon fabric, so looks especially bad on busty women such as myself. This shirt would probably look great on a petite woman, but if you are curvy I wouldn't recommend it.

This is Not a Good Look, Miley Cyrus.
Oh, look, new besties -- Miley Cyrus and Miranda Kerr, one who smokes so much pot she can't see straight, and the other who Photoshops her own photos so much that she doesn't even know what she really looks like. Perf match!
As you can see, however, while Miranda's looking -- well, much like Miranda normally does: all pretty and mask-like -- Miley's rocking a brand-new look that Lady Gaga tried to pull off not too long ago: bleached eyebrows. Bleached. Bleached so brightly that they almost look nonexistent.
Sorry, Miley, but if you were trying for something avant garde, this just isn't it. If you're gonna go beauty crazy and fashion nuts, why don't you try something really off the wall -- like wearing a damn pair of actual pants, huh?
Girl, you are so cute. But this is not for you.
