Hey guys,
I'm new here and new to the cycling world in general but there's one thing I've been interested in, bypassing the speed limiter on an E Bike. Don't get me wrong I know if this where done it would be illegal but how fast could a cyclist go if it was done? and can it be done say in a garage?

Which is it.. Universal or Clays powder, both are Hodgdon? Either way 5.5 exceeds their recommended max.Weight Manufacturer Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel.

How crappy is that, 3 different powders called Clays..Ok, I'd still back off the Universal load data and start at 5.0. That said, I'm not a big fan of shock buffers in 1911's either.

My hornady 7th edition with 230 lrn and clays universal (might not be my type which is universal clays) shows range from 5.2 to 6.2

I reload the jrn, 230gr with 5.0 of Win 231. It's a safe load and after firing numerous rds, my buffer is still in great shape.

The Voice and Twitter introduce 'Instant Save'
The power is yours America! The Voice and Twitter are introducing the "instant save" next week during the results show on Tuesday.
How does it work?
On Tuesday, two artists will be eliminated. But before that, Carson Daly will present America with the Bottom 3. We then have FIVE MINUTES to Tweet who we want to save using #VoiceSave "Name of Artist" on Twitter!
This is crazy! I am so excited!
I love The Voice! Finally live voting. American Idol and The X Factor have been trying to make that happen for years — and now finally The Voice is implementing it.
Follow the blog next week if you are on the West Coast (or any coast) so you can tweet during the voting window! This is going to be good!!!
NBC's "The Voice" and Twitter are combining forces to give viewers and fans of the Emmy Award-winning reality competition show a chance to instantly save their favorite artists from elimination.
The "Instant Save" will take place live during the results show on Tuesday, Nov 12. Previously, "The Voice" coaches exclusively had the power to save an artist from elimination, but now America will have an immediate say during the live show on Nov 12th.
"We are literally putting the power in the hands of our viewers, granting them a direct way to affect the fate of the artists competing during the live telecast. When the bottom three are identified fans will have five minutes to save their favorites via Twitter, ensuring our strongest performers remain," said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. "This invaluable partnership with Twitter exemplifies our efforts to have social media play a huge part in the structure of the show."
"From its first episode, 'The Voice' has pushed the boundaries between the show and the audience, using Twitter to break convention and engage fans in totally new and unexpected ways. And now, with the Instant Save, they're pushing the envelope again, giving fans at home as much power as the coaches." –Fred Graver, Twitter Head of television partnerships.
"'The Voice' has a well-earned reputation as a pioneer in digital and social integrations," said Robert Hayes, Executive Vice President Digital, NBC Entertainment. "We are delighted to work with Twitter to give fans the power to save their favorite contestants."
After the outcome is announced during each results show, America will have the opportunity to choose which of the bottom-three artists will be saved by tweeting their pick. Fans will have five minutes to tweet to save their favorite artist. Those tweets will then be tallied and the final results will be announced live. To utilize the "Instant Save," fans would need to log onto Twitter and tweet out #VoiceSave along with the artist's name.
Viewers in the Eastern and Central time zones will be able to watch and tweet during the live show. Viewers in the West and Mountain time zones will also be able tweet their choice at the same time as the Eastern and Central time zones if they are following the @nbcthevoice handle, which will announce that the save period is open and what artists are eligible. For more information on voting on the West Coast, please go to http://www.nbc.com/TheVoice.
The social engagement platform from Telescope, the technology company used to authenticate votes on 'The Voice,' will tally the tweets in real time and the saved artist will be announced before the end of the telecast.
The "Instant Save" will be used on the Nov. 12, 19, 26 and Dec 3 shows.
Through the opening six weeks of the current TV season, the Monday edition of "The Voice" has averaged a 5.3 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49 and 15.6 million viewers overall, making it the #3 primetime series overall on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in 18-49, the #2 entertainment series and the #1 unscripted series. In total viewers, Monday's "Voice" ranks #5 overall, #4 among entertainment shows and #1 among unscripted shows. Tuesday's edition is delivering a 4.5 rating, 13 share in 18-49 and 14.1 million viewers overall to tie for #5 in 18-49 and rank #9 in total viewers in "most current" averages from Nielsen Media Research that exclude sports pre- and post-game shows.

Chapter 3: Passion or Money?
One common debate among internet marketers is whether to follow your passions or follow money.
Do you go with something you are passionate or knowledgeable about or go where the money is?
Of course if possible you can combine both.
What do the experts recommend?
I decided to ask Ramsay at BlogTyrant, Glen at Viper Chill, Matthew Woodward, Pat Flynn at SmartPassiveIncome, Spencer at NichePursuits and Brian at Backlinko.
Ramsay at BlogTyrant
I asked Ramsay at BlogTyrant.com whether he recommended passion or money for someone picking their first niche....
As you can see he said...
"I find it really hard to work on things I hate and would happily take a pay cut"
Which I take to mean he prefers to get involved with things he is passionate about.
Glen at ViperChill
I asked Glen at ViperChill a similar question...
He recommends...
"passion...and sometimes money. Easy cash in industries even when you don't care for them".
Matthew Woodward
I also asked Matthew Woodward ....
He replied....
"read http://www.bloggingtips.com/2013/04/27/meet-matthew-woodward-matthewwoodwardcouk/"
and I found his answer....
"Select a niche I'm passionate about"
Pat Flynn at SmartPassiveIncome
Next up was Pat Flynn of SmartPassiveIncome.com
Pat's answer was EPIC......
He said....
"I'd hesitate to say follow anything. You must LEAD, and I'd start with an area of interest and then validate it's commerciality"
What I believe he's saying is here is never be a 'follower' but be a leader and dominate your niche by being the best you possibly can be.
Brian Dean at Backlinko.com...
Brian from Backlinko.com gave a a difference in opinion from the other experts which was refreshing.
Brian said...
"Definitely money. Once you learn the skills to promote and monetize a site, you can make one around your passion"
Brian champions learning the essential skills first then thinking about passions later. Good to see a difference of opinion from him over the majority.
Spencer Haws at NichePursuits.com
Spencer from NichePursuits.com gave the following advice...
Spencer said...
"Depends. Small niche site go where money is. Authority/long term project, go with passion"
This is solid advice. If you're just looking to make quick profit it makes sense to see where there's a demand and capitalize on it rather than focusing on something you enjoy but might take time to be profitable.
If it's going to be a long term project you spend a lot of time and effort on then focusing on something you enjoy will make life easier for you.
Expert conclusion...
So far the common theme here is do something you are passionate about BUT make sure it's a viable money maker.
There were exceptions with Brian Dean saying focus on money first whilst you hone your skills and then work on passion niches later.

What do I personally do?
Mostly I follow my passions and interests but I make sure that they are viable and profitable first.
When I first started I jumped into a few niches I had an interest in without really thinking about how I could monetize and found out later it wasn't easy to due to being unable to easily get traffic or lack of affiliate products to promote.
Don't make that mistake. I cover how to check a market is viable and profitable later in the guide.
If I see a real untapped opportunity that's just too good to pass up I will tackle it even if not very interested in it.
Why Passion & Knowledge...
The idea behind going with something you have knowledge in or are passionate about is that you're more likely to succeed.
Not only do you already know more than your average person (who likely knows nothing) on the subject at hand but you'll be willing to put more effort into it and enjoy working on it.
If you know nothing on the topic and don't have any real interest in it it can be difficult to succeed and stay motivated.
You might find yourself unable to create interesting content on the subject and getting bored with the topic quickly or that your audience knows more than you do and don't have any reason to listen to your advice.
Many successful entrepreneurs have succeeded because they created something they were passionate about.
You have to consider whether your interests actually have any commercial viability.
If there's nothing to sell and no way to monetize then you can be as passionate about the topic as you like but you won't make any money.
Take for example if your hobby was collecting rocks. Probably not any way to make money from that regardless of how enthusiastic you are about it (though I wouldn't be surprised if actually there was and I just didn't see the opportunity as I know nothing about the niche).
Why Money...
Following the money is isn't a bad idea. If you've crunched the numbers and can see that the niche is likely to be profitable then of course it makes sense to get involved.
However if you know nothing about the subject at hand, don't have any interest in it and plan to do all the work and content creation yourself then there's a good chance you're going to struggle.
Unless you are very business minded, focused and motivated, and can work on something which you get absolutely no enjoyment from then you would be better focusing on something you have passion for.
This is especially important when it's your first online project as you're going to have a lot to learn and a lot of work to do so you need to enjoy it to some extent.
Combining Passion and Money...
Ideally you'll be able to identify a niche where you have some knowledge and passion that is also profitable.
This is where the majority of individuals trying to create online businesses and niche website will find their success first time round.
Once you've had initial success it's much easier to venture into other projects where your interest level isn't as high and make a success from them.

Tokyo Cement (Lanka) Plc yesterday announced a new wholly-owned subsidiary to undertake a Rs. 8 billion investment to expand its core product as well as build a biomass energy project.
The company said for this purpose, Tokyo Eastern Cement Company Ltd. (TECC) has been set up with the approval of the Board of Investment recently.
"The principle objects of TECC are to carry on the business of manufacturers and dealer in cement, tile cement and cement products and also to build, operate and manage a biomass power generation plant for the utilisation of power generated by it for its own use and for sale of excess units of electricity to the National Grid," Tokyo Cement said.
The construction of the plant is expected to be completed in three years at an estimated cost of Rs. 8 b, and will be financed mainly by the company's equity and bank borrowings.
The company also said TECC is entitled to fiscal and tax incentives for a period of five years, after which the company is liable to a concessionary income tax rate of 12%.
Tokyo Cement Group already comprises Fuji Cement Company (Lanka) Ltd., Tokyo Super Cement Company Lanka Ltd., Tokyo Cement Colombo Terminal Ltd., and Tokyo Cement Power Ltd.
In operation for three decades, Tokyo Cement is the largest manufacturer and supplier of cement in Sri Lanka.
As per its 2011/12 Annual Report, the company continued to successfully generate power through a biomass power plant at the Trincomalee factory. The biomass power plant at Trincomalee currently generates 10 MW of electricity, to power its cement plants. The excess capacity generated is sold to the National Grid, supporting national energy requirements.
"We are also exploring other areas of possible expansion into the biomass power segment, by using paddy husk and wood chips of the gliricidia tree," Tokyo Cement Joint Managing Director S.R. Gnanam had said in the Annual Report.
According to him, another five MW biomass dendro power plant is being installed in Mahiyangana, where the entire output is sold to the National Grid.
"We are constantly exploring ways to deploy environmentally-friendly energy throughout our operations, to preserve the natural environment," Gnanam added.
As of September 2012, the major shareholders of the company were Nippon Coke and Engineering Ltd. of Japan (27%), St. Anthony's Consolidated Ltd. (27.5%), and South Asian Investment Ltd. (16.3%).

Sleep, or the lack of it, seems to affect just about every aspect of human physiology. Yet, the molecular pathways through which sleep deprivation wreaks its detrimental effects on the body remain poorly understood. Although numerous studies have looked at the consequences of sleep deprivation on the brain, comparatively few have directly tested its effects on peripheral organs.
During sleep deprivation cells upregulate the UPR – the unfolded protein response – a process where misfolded proteins get refolded or degraded.
Five years ago, researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, showed that the UPR is an adaptive response to stress induced by sleep deprivation and is impaired in the brains of old mice. Those findings suggested that inadequate sleep in the elderly, who normally experience sleep disturbances, could exacerbate an already-impaired protective response to protein misfolding that happens in aging cells. Protein misfolding and clumping is associated with many diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, noted Nirinjini Naidoo, Ph.D., research associate professor in the Division of Sleep Medicine in that study.
Naidoo is also senior author of a follow-up study in Aging Cell this month that shows, for the first time, an effect of sleep deprivation on the UPR in peripheral tissue, in this case, the pancreas. They showed that stress in pancreatic cells due to sleep deprivation may contribute to the loss or dysfunction of these cells important to maintaining proper blood sugar levels, and that these functions may be exacerbated by normal aging.
"The combined effect of aging and sleep deprivation resulted in a loss of control of blood sugar reminiscent of pre-diabetes in mice," says Naidoo. "We hypothesize that older humans might be especially susceptible to the effects of sleep deprivation on the disruption of glucose homeostasis via cell stress."
Working with Penn colleague Joe Baur, Ph.D., assistant professor of Physiology, Naidoo started a collaboration to look at the relationship of sleep deprivation, the UPR, and metabolic response with age. Other researchers had suggested that the death of beta cells associated with type 2 diabetes may be due to stress in a cell compartment called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The UPR is one part of the quality control system in the ER, where some proteins are made.
Knowing this, Naidoo and Baur asked if sleep deprivation (SD) causes ER stress in the pancreas, via an increase in protein misfolding, and in turn, how this relates to aging.
The team examined tissues in mice for cellular stress following acute SD, and they also looked for cellular stress in aging mice. Their results show that both age and SD combine to induce cellular stress in the pancreas.

Quilts for Kids
We have the volunteers from the Palm Beach County Chapter of Quilts for Kids in our conference room once a month. The conference table allows them to gather as a group and bring in all of their sewing machines, fabric, thread and sense of humor to create spectacular quilts for the program.
Quilts for Kids has a volunteer network that encompasses corporate programs, quilting groups and individuals from all walks of life. It is
not for professional sewers only! We also welcome preteens and teens to get involved in the making and gifting of quilts through their
schools or community service programs. It is invaluable for a young person at the threshold of adulthood to see firsthand what life's
battles are truly about—to know that life is not about having the right clothes or hair style. By making a quilt through our program,
they can experience what it is like to give something of themselves to a child who needs them. It helps them realize that their life is
good; that they can make a difference. We hear so much about how "at risk" our teens are. They only need the opportunity to shine—
Quilts for Kids gives them that chance.

Am I missing something fundamental with the new pink seraph weapons?
I mean they're good, really good weapons, but to get them you're looking at a lot of boss raiding - around 15 times per gun. I estimate that the pink items are roughly level with purple loot drops, making them rare, but really not that rare.
Anyone who's boss raiding a lot is going to have some pretty decent gear anyway, most likely all legendary gear.
I mean, the whole point of boss raids is an extended game for level 50 players, isn't it?
Fact is that the pink items, with the exception of the relic (which is also the cheapest item), are not as good as the orange items, but you're very very unlikely to get even one pink item without getting lots of orange items first.
So what's the point of them? They're so difficult to get, it feels like they should be one-of-a-kind awesome bits of kit, maybe with unique side effects. Instead they're, well, by the time you get them they're kind of meh.
Am I missing something?

Full Spectrum Paint Color Collection
Newton Lights has a portfolio of over one hundred colors blended with Benjamin Moore paint bases and tints. Each color, including the whites, contains the three primary colors, red, yellow and blue; and the three secondary colors, green, orange and violet, plus, in some instances, red and/or yellow oxide. The company is named after Isaac Newton who demonstrated that white light is the combination of all the colors of the rainbow.
Full spectrum colors replicate the phenomena of colors in nature which are not absolute but are a combination of hues which change over the course of the day. The incorporation of the full palette of prismatic pigments into paint colors generates greater dimension and resonance in response to the different wavelengths of the sun. Moreover the colors have a greater ability to complement natural materials, such as stone, and wood as their array of hues are correspondingly contained within the paint mixture. As a consequence the juxtaposition of material and paint animate each others innate vitality. Newton compared the colors in the color wheel to the seven notes in the musical scale as he understood color is an issue of harmonies.
Black, gray or brown are not used as they absorb light whereas prismatic tints reflect light. Gray, beige and tan is blended with complementary and/or split complementary pigments. Paint colors can be created by adapting existing ones or by blending new ones to meet requirements of the client.
Newton's Lights colors have been used by David Jameson, named AIA Young Architect in 2004, and whose subsequence work as been given both national and local AIA awards.
Newton's Lights colors and wall design were featured in the lobby of the Washington, D.C. Design Center in November 2006 as a complement to DeZahra's columns of Gallo Antico, the variegated umber and rose marble used as the interior skin and décor of the Roman Pantheon.
Karen Lukinson, Founder of Newton's Lights, is available for consultation on particular projects, including those to stage public spaces.

The following is an industry press release...
Morganton, NC – Factory FMF/KTM rider Kailub Russell took the win and the points lead in the XC1 Pro class at the third round of the GNCC Series over teammate Charlie Mullins while WXC rider Kacy Martinez captured her third victory in a row.
Russell and Mullins both got off to a decent when the gate dropped but it was their teammate, Steward Baylor, that pulled the holeshot and led the group around the opening corner. It did not take long before Russell made the pass for the lead and began to check out on the rest of the pack. He would ride a mistake-free race to take the win with a comfortable two-minute lead at the end of the 3-hour race.
Mullins also worked his way through the pack and moved to 2nd place by the second lap of the race. He remained in that position with heavy pressure from the 3rd place ride of Josh Strang on the final two laps. Mullins was able to hold his ground and keep the runner-up position to gain valuable points for the championship.
Baylor was holding a podium position after pulling the holeshot for the first half of the race before he came into the pits and had to do an extended pit stop. He dropped to 6th place on the pit and spent the rest of the race catching back up to the lead group. He was able to pick off one rider to move into 5th overall for the day.
After three rounds, Russell now leads Mullins by one point in the championship chase. "We knew our riders would be battling for the championship once again," stated Factory FMF/KTM Team Manager Antti Kallonen. "We are very proud of how they both rode today and we are happy that there were no issues for either rider and they finished safely at the top of the podium."
KTM support rider Grant Baylor didn't get the best jump off the line but made up for his poor start with a late charge in the final half of the race. He was able to move up from the bottom ten to 3rd overall in the XC2 Pro Lites class. He now sits 3rd in the point standings after three rounds.
Martinez captured her third win in a row in the WXC class where she remains undefeated. She pulled a massive gap on the rest of the pack to finish over 7 minutes ahead of the next competitor. Her win today helped her increase her lead on the overall point standings.
"I'm really happy to get another win," commented Martinez. "I feel really fortunate to be on the factory team this year and I am happy I am up on the top step of the podium. I'm also happy to win another mud race but it would be nice if we could get a break from all this mud at the next round."

July 24, 2013
BETHEL, NY – Bethel Motor Speedway's annual LegendStock event has gained the reputation of being one of the most exciting, highest-paying Legends races in the Northeast. With the sixth annual running of the event – which is an INEX Legends Asphalt Nationals qualifier – less than two weeks away, the entry list has started to grow, with drivers from neighboring tracks joining Bethel regulars for a shot at the $1,500 winner's payday and one of the three-foot tall guitar trophies that have become a trademark of the event. The event carries a $3,000 total purse and boasts of more than $2,000 in trophies. Alliance Shippers - a Victory Lane sponsor at Bethel and season-long sponsor of the Legends division at the track - has once again signed on to support the event.
Bethel Motor Speedway will be well represented, with entries already being filed by numerous competitors. Masters driver Jim Sylvester, who currently sits third in Pro/Masters point standings at the speedway, was among the first to file an entry. Sylvester has captured one overall win and nine Masters division wins in 13 starts so far this season. Sylvester was the Masters division winner at LegendStock 2011. He will have to compete with fellow Masters driver Joe Graf, who took home the LegendStock 2012 Masters win, if he plans to take home another coveted guitar trophy. Graf, the track's defending Legend Pro/Masters champion, has raced on a limited basis so far this season, but has one Masters division win to his credit so far this year. Fred Graf will be looking to take home his first-ever Masters win and guitar trophy in the prestigious event. F. Graf was sixth in Pro/Masters points at Bethel in 2012, and currently sits 15th in the standings. Tom Sherman will be making the trip off of Long Island, having filed his entry as well. Sherman is a veteran of LegendStock, having competed several times since its inception in 2008. Sherman was 17th in the final rundown at LegendStock 2012, but had run much of the event inside of the top ten.
Competition for the Pro division trophy among Bethel regulars is sure to be intense, as both Richie Coy and Stephen Hershey have already filed entries. Hershey currently sits fourth in Pro/Masters points at the speedway, while Coy trails him by a mere 14 points in fifth. They can expect stiff competition from both 2010 Bethel Legends champion Todd McCollum and Pennsylvania native Raven Schrantz, who finished second in Bethel Pro/Masters points in 2012. McCollum is presently in the midst of a two-race win streak on the quarter-mile oval at Bethel. Riverhead Raceway regular Richie Davidowitz has also entered the mix in the Pro class. The driver, who hails from Long Island, recently recorded his first career win in the Legends class at his home track and will be looking to ride that momentum to a win at LegendStock. It will be Davidowitz's first-ever appearance at Bethel.
Joseph Graf, a rookie in the Young Lions division, has entered to make his first attempt at claiming a guitar trophy. The young driver scored the 2009 Bandolero championship at the speedway and most recently took home fifth in the season-long Bandolero standings at the speedway last year. Several Young Lions from Long Island have thrown their hats into the ring to contest with Graf. Brothers Artie Pedersen III and Allan Pedersen have both filed entries. Pedersen III scored his first career Young Lions division at Bethel just a few short weeks ago, claiming the win in a combined-division race. The young driver who calls Riverhead Raceway home has scored two top ten finishes in three starts at Bethel this season. Allan Pedersen has made two starts at Bethel so far in his rookie season in competition in the Legends class. Connecticut's Waterford Speedbowl will be represented by Young Lions driver Joey Ternullo, who recently filed his entry. It will be Ternullo's second visit to LegendStock, and he comes riding the momentum of a successful 2013 season to date. The driver presently sits second in points in his home track's Wednesday Legends series, and he has scored two wins so far this year.
The Bandolero entry list has also started to grow, as drivers look to take to the track in preparation for the 16th annual Bandolero Nationals, which will be hosted at Bethel Motor Speedway August 15-17, and as they aim to bring home the guitar trophy that goes to the Bandolero race winner. Bandit driver Max Evans, one of the youngest Bandolero competitors regularly in competition at the speedway and who is also the two-time defending track champion, was the Bandolero race winner at LegendStock 2012. Outlaw Christian Eckes, who has registered seat time at numerous tracks over the last two seasons but calls Bethel Motor Speedway "home", has also filed his entry. Eckes finished eighth in the standings at Bethel in 2012, and currently sits inside the top five in points at the speedway. The young driver finished second at LegendStock 2012. The pair will be challenged by Bandit Lars McElravy, a Pennsylvania native who races regularly at Lake Erie Speedway. McElravy - who has turned laps at tracks nationwide - has made several appearances at Bethel in recent weeks, and will be looking to take the Bandolero guitar back to his home state. Outlaw rookie Gillian Kirkpatrick, fresh off of three wins in the Beginner Bandolero division, will be looking to make the move into the Bandolero class prior to LegendStock so that she can also compete for the guitar.
With additional entries expected to flood the speedway office in the coming days, LegendStock 2013 is sure to provide plenty of side-by-side action from many talented drivers. Drivers are encouraged to submit their online entries, as there is a $15 discount on entry for preregistered cars.
More information and an online entry form can be accessed through the Bethel Motor Speedway web site at www.bethelmotorspeedway.com. Information can also be obtained by calling the speedway office at (845) 319-7908.

BETHEL, NY – With the rapid approach of the sixth annual LegendStock event at Bethel Motor Speedway, the track office announced that the speedway would once again be joining forces with Alliance Shippers to present the prestigious event. The race, which is an INEX Legends Asphalt Nationals qualifier, has gained the reputation of being one of the most exciting and highest-paying Legends races in the area. LegendStock 2013 will feature a total purse of $3,000, with $1,500 earmarked for the winner. The race has become known for the unique three-foot tall guitar trophies that are given out to the division winners. With $3,000 in purse money and $2,000 worth of trophies on the line, LegendStock consistently draws in some of the top Legends talent from the Northeast and beyond. Since its inception, drivers from a total of 13 different states have taken part in the event. The race is of particular significance to Northeast drivers in 2013, with this year's Asphalt Nationals being hosted at Lake Erie Speedway in Pennsylvania.
Online registration for LegendStock 2013 opened last week, and entries have already started to come in. Bethel Motor Speedway regulars including Jim Sylvester, Richie Coy, Stephen Hershey, and Fred Graf have already confirmed their intentions to compete; as has Raven Schrantz, who competes at tracks across the Northeast.
The door is wide open for a first-time overall winner, as last year's winner – 2011 Bethel Motor Speedway Legends champion and 2012 INEX Pro National champion Matt Pappa – has taken on other ventures in 2013. LegendStock 2012 winners were: Matt Pappa (Overall and Pro), David Schilling (Young Lions), Ryan Mackintosh (Semi Pro), and Joe Graf (Masters).
For the past two years, Alliance Shippers has been a driving force in INEX competition at Bethel Motor Speedway, acting as a Victory Lane sponsor, LegendStock event sponsor, and season-long sponsor of the Legends division. In recognition of their support, the Alliance Shippers logo is emblazoned on the neck of the coveted guitar trophies. Alliance Shippers has operating facilities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and is one of North America's largest independently-owned providers of transportation and global logistics services. With state-of-the-art rail, highway, ocean, and air transportation services, Alliance Shippers provides The Perfect Shipment ®.

July 10, 2013
BETHEL, NY – With the 2013 season well underway at tracks across the country, the time is drawing near for the largest, most prestigious Legends race in the Northeast - the annual LegendStock event at Bethel Motor Speedway. The speedway office announced that online registration for the 50-lap, $1,500-to-win INEX Asphalt Nationals qualifier is now open.
In the five years that the event has taken place, a total of nearly 200 cars have pulled through the gates to race for the glory, the big payday, and the one-of-a-kind trophies that have become a trademark of the race. The race carries a $3,000 total purse, with $1,500 earmarked for the winner. More than $2,000 worth of trophies are given out, and many drivers make the trek to Bethel Motor Speedway in pursuit of the three-foot tall guitar trophies that are tied into the rich history of the track which is located just four miles from the site of the original Woodstock Music Festival.
This year's LegendStock event is slated for Saturday, August 3rd, with a rain date of Sunday, August 4th. The entry fee for a car and driver is $70 for preregistered cars, and $85 the day of the event.
As it has been done in the past, the field for the prestigious event will be set through a combination of both time trials and heat races, with C-mains and B-mains to round out the field as needed. Alliance Shippers has once again signed on as a sponsor of the event.
With several of last year's winners absent from Legends competition this year, the door is wide open for new winners to be added to the "Wall of Fame" that is part of the LegendStock 2013 site. The LegendStock 2012 Overall and Pro winner Matt Pappa has taken on new ventures, and Young Lions winner David Schilling has been absent from Legends competition thus far in 2013. It is expected that LegendStock 2012 Semi Pro winner Ryan Mackintosh and Masters winner Joe Graf will both be on hand to defend their wins in last year's event. They are sure to have tough competition, as both Bethel regulars and visiting drivers will all be looking to take down the regional qualifier win. All eyes are sure to be on the entry list in the coming weeks as the always-impressive list of competitors grows.

Aims to Reduce Abuse, Wrongful Issuance of Parking Privileges
Legislation sponsored by Senators Diane Allen (R- Burlington) andJoePennacchio (R- Morris) updating state laws to prevent abuse and wrongful issuance of disabled parking placards has been approved by the full Senate.
"Every time someone who is not disabled inappropriately obtains or uses a placard, he or she takes that parking space away from someone truly in need," said Allen. "This bill makes commonsense changes to process of obtaining a 'wheelchair placard' that ensure proper verification of one's disability on an ongoing basis."

I was stranded a bit yesterday in Gloucestershire (not a bad place to be stranded in to be honest), and I didn't get back home until late last night. On the radio during the long drive home, many people were debating the snow and the awful weather (awful? It was AMAZING!), and one of the strands Five Live discussed was, if you're stuck at home and unable to get to work, what to do with your time. Isn't it obvious?! You absolutely do not get our of your pyjamas all day, you curl up on the sofa with a cup of your favourite warm drink and switch on the telly. You're allowed to have a break to go outside and build a dirty-great snowman, but after that it has to be telly all the way and plenty of revelling in the fact that you don't have to go to work. But what do you watch? Have a look after the jump…
In the AM: From 11am on BBC One there are 'lifestyle' shows. Lots of them. To Buy Or Not To Buy, Cash In The Attic and Bargain Hunt form this sort of crushingly dull Holy Trinity, while on BBC Two there are loads of kids leaning stuff.
Over on ITV1, This Morning continues with guest Shane Ritchie bigging up the new Minder (someone has to) and some fashion stuff. Phillip Schofield had a day off yesterday because he couldn't get into work, but he's started to tweet on Twitter (have a look here).
Over on Channel 4, there's the cheery Britain's Deadliest Addictions and then Year Dot at 11.30am, which follows a bunch of youths trying to decide what to do with their lives.
Five has Ann Maurice: Interior Rivalry at 11.30am, a reality show that tries to find Britain's best interior 'stager'.
In the PM: After the usual lunchtime blitz of news and Loose Women, Meerkat Manor, Animal Park and Trash To Cash are on BBC One from 1pm, while Dickenson's Real Deal in on ITV1 at 2pm.
Come on, this is RUBBISH. Where are the black and white films? The interesting stuff? Thank YOU Channel 4 for The Cruel Sea at 1.05pm. It stars Jack Hawkins in a top-notch WWII film. Hurrah for Channel 4 and good old Jack Hawkins!
Five, meanwhile, has Going For Gold, Neighbours and Home And Away from 1pm.
Then we get into the Deal Or No Deals and Countdowns of this world and you know it's almost tea time.
You can obviously find much more interesting stuff on the multi-channels (Top Gear in the morning on Dave, The Professionals and The Prisoner on ITV4 at 11am, Inspector Morse all morning on ITV4 and Bones and Cold Case), but this terrestrial lot is pretty poor. Tell you what, you might as well just go outside and dick about in the snow if you can.

Nothin' but Net: Mock Draft time
By Jim Brighters, NBA Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) – Some mock drafts are easier than others,
but here's what we know about this one – zilch.
The Cleveland Cavaliers own the first pick and would move it in a second. The
Orlando Magic would trade the second pick. It's just one of those drafts in
which no players impress the teams at the top enough to warrant selection.
But, someone will have to go first, then second, just as every other year.
Problem is, no one might make an immediate impact like last year's No. 1
overall pick, Anthony Davis.
Funny thing is, someone like Davis will probably go first. Nerlens Noel, a 6-
foot-10 freshman from Kentucky, is still the safe bet for the Cavaliers at
No. 1.
After that, there are a few players who might make a splash. It's not just a
guessing game for us trying to prognosticate, it's a guessing game for GMs
So here we go with The Sports Network's 2013 NBA Mock Draft:
1, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS – Nerlens Noel (Kentucky), Power Forward (6-10, 228) –
The Cavs won the lottery for the second time in three years. Last time, the
No. 1 pick got them Kyrie Irving. This time, Cleveland won't get nearly the
type of franchise player like Irving. Still, Noel's defensive game is ready
for the NBA, but his offensive game is not. He's expected to be healthy at the
start of the season after a torn ACL during Kentucky's season. Noel will help
a Cavs team that finished dead last in opponents' field-goal percentage. He's
that good defensively.
2. ORLANDO MAGIC – Ben McLemore (Kansas), Shooting Guard (6-5, 189) – This is
the safest of all possible picks. McLemore is a fantastic shooter, but has
failed to impress in some of his workouts. Shooting guard isn't a big need for
the Magic, who finished with the worst record in the NBA. Arron Afflalo has
three years remaining on his contract, but McLemore is the second-best
prospect in the draft. Point guard is a need for Orlando, but the Magic can't
use the No. 2 pick on a point guard in this draft.
3. WASHINGTON WIZARDS – Otto Porter (Georgetown), Small Forward (6-9, 198) –
This seems like a perfect match. Small forward is a huge need for the Wiz and
Porter, from Georgetown, is a great fit geographically at least. Good mid-
range game, good basketball IQ and ready for the NBA right now.
4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS – Anthony Bennett (UNLV), Small Forward/Power Forward
(6-7, 240) – Bennett may turn out to be the best player in the draft. He's a
combo forward who doesn't shoot it well enough to be a natural small forward,
but probably isn't big enough to play the big forward spot. His upside is
5. PHOENIX SUNS – Victor Oladipo (Indiana), Shooting Guard (6-4, 213) – While
on the short side for a shooting guard, Oladipo has become an effective two-
way player. He's a great defender and above-average 3-point shooter. His work
ethic is outstanding and the Suns could use a player of strong character. He
can help change the culture in Phoenix by example.
6. NEW ORLEANS PELICANS – Alex Len (Maryland), Center (7-1, 255) – Len could
go higher than sixth, but this spot seems safe. Len is physical and gigantic
and even though he's 19, he should come in right away to team with Davis.
Point guard and small forward are bigger needs, but there isn't a worthy small
forward unless Porter or Bennett fall, which is unlikely.
7. SACRAMENTO KINGS – Michael Carter-Williams (Syracuse), Point Guard (6-6,
184) – This pick will most likely be a point guard. So why like Carter-Williams
more than Trey Burke, the national player of the year? Five inches is one
reason. Another is his playmaking ability may be a little ahead of Burke's.
8. DETROIT PISTONS – Trey Burke (Michigan), Point Guard (6-0, 190) – The
Pistons get a local guy with the eighth pick as Burke falls into their laps.
After Detroit acquired Jose Calderon near the deadline, the Pistons moved
Brandon Knight to the shooting guard, where they think he belongs. A natural
point guard is the next logical step. With his Michigan ties, scoring and
facilitating, Burke is a perfect fit for the Pistons.
9. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Georgia), Shooting Guard
(6-6, 204) – The major need for the Wolves is shooting. They have Kevin Love,
they have 11 point guards on the roster and will probably re-sign Nikola
Pekovic. Shooting was their major weakness, along with staying healthy.
Caldwell-Pope should help with the shooting.
10. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS – Cody Zeller (Indiana), Center (7-0, 230) – If
J.J. Hickson bolts via free agency, Zeller could fit in nicely. Early in the
season, he was considered No. 1 pick material. His sophomore season at Indiana
wasn't great, but he is a very talented guy. Reports say Zeller's outside
range is much better than expected. Portland may get a steal with this pick.
11. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS – Steven Adams (Pittsburgh), Center (7-0, 250) – The
Andrew Bynum experiment failed badly, so Philly needs a big man. Adams is a
project to say the least, but his upside is huge. Can the Sixers wait a few
years for this pick to make an impact? Yes, there are so many holes, they can
wait out Adams.
12. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER – Kelly Olynyk (Gonzaga), Center (7-0, 238) – The
Thunder could use some punch from a big man and Olynyk is the best available
man to fit the bill. They acquired this pick from the Toronto Raptors and
Houston Rockets. Whoever the Thunder take, he can hone his craft since OKC is
loaded and this player may not crack the rotation any time soon.
13. DALLAS MAVERICKS – C.J. McCollum (Lehigh), Shooting Guard (6-3, 197) – The
Mavs get lucky with this selection. He reminds some of Damian Lillard, the
reigning NBA Rookie of the Year for the Portland Trail Blazers. McCollum is a
combo guard from a small school, but Lillard had much better point guard
instincts. McCollum is a dynamite offensive player. He can shoot, penetrate,
all of it.
14. UTAH JAZZ – Dennis Schroeder (Germany), Point Guard (6-2, 165) – The Jazz
need a point guard. They also may need some big guys if Al Jefferson and Paul
Millsap leave via free agency. But Utah has Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter to
replace them. The Jazz would love to get Carter-Williams or Burke, but they'll
be gobbled up before this pick. Schroeder is the next best.
15. MILWAUKEE BUCKS – Shabazz Muhammad (UCLA), Shooting Guard (6-6, 222) –
Muhammad is a lottery talent, but there are some concerns about attitude. He
is an elite offensive player who may go higher if teams aren't scared by both
the attitude issues and the fact he treats playing defense with a casual
16. BOSTON CELTICS – Gorgui Dieng (Louisville), Center (6-11, 230) – The
Celtics have turned into a mystery. With Doc Rivers out as coach, are Kevin
Garnett and Paul Pierce far behind? Does Rajon Rondo stay, and, if so, is he
healthy enough to start the season? Dieng is the pick here because the C's are
still about defense and he's the best defensive big man in the draft.
17. ATLANTA HAWKS – Mason Plumlee (Duke), Center/Power Forward (7-1, 238) –
The Hawks have back-to-back picks, but may move one if not both to save as
much money as possible. Atlanta has Dwight Howard and Chris Paul on its mind.
If the Hawks keep this pick, Plumlee would be a nice fit with Al Horford.
Plumlee is fairly athletic and energetic.
18. ATLANTA HAWKS – Lucas Nogueira (Brazil), Center (7-0, 220) – A project
with amazing physical tools, Nogueira could stay overseas if the Hawks say so.
He needs to put on weight, but his athleticism is his calling card as he's one
of the best running big men in the draft. Atlanta got this pick in a trade with
19. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS – Sergey Karasev (Russia), Shooting Guard/Small
Forward (6-7, 197) – The Cavs got this pick from the Los Angeles Lakers and
will use it on a dead-on shooter. Small forward is a position of need for
Cleveland and this lefty is big enough to line up there. Great shooter with
great range.
20. CHICAGO BULLS – Allen Crabbe (California), Shooting Guard (6-6, 197) –
With Jimmy Butler stepping into the starting two guard spot, Crabbe will be a
nice backup. Chicago lacked 3-point shooting last season and Crabbe can fill
it up from long range.
21. UTAH JAZZ – Ricky Ledo (Providence), Shooting Guard (6-6, 197) – Ledo
didn't play at all last season after academic problems. Off-the-court issues
linger here, but so does a lot of talent. Utah is a great place to go to not
get in trouble, so it might be a good fit for him early in his career.
22. BROOKLYN NETS – Tony Mitchell (North Texas), Power Forward (6-9, 236) –
Mitchell could come in right away and contribute because power forward is a
glaring weakness on the Nets. Reggie Evans is a great rebounder and agitator,
but there needs to be a 34-minute-a-night guy in that slot. Mitchell has a ton
of talent, but work ethic questions abound.
23. INDIANA PACERS – Shane Larkin (Miami), Point Guard (6-0, 171) – The Pacers
are set up for another run, assuming David West comes back (which, he will)
and Roy Hibbert continues to improve. In their playoff run to the Eastern
Conference Finals, point guard George Hill looked shaky at times. Larkin may
not be an upgrade, but he's different with his speed and shooting.
24. NEW YORK KNICKS – Rudy Gobert (France), Center (7-2, 238) – The Knicks
were old, so any infusion of youth should be welcome. His reach was measured
at 9 feet, 7 inches, which was a combine record and borderline terrifying.
25. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS – Archie Goodwin (Kentucky), Shooting Guard (6-5,
189) – A very mediocre one season at Kentucky led some to be surprised Goodwin
came out early. He has to cut down his turnovers and inconsistency. This would
be a good situation for him to go, assuming Chris Paul re-signs here. With
Chauncey Billups and Matt Barnes both free agents, Goodwin could play some
right away.
26. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES – Jeff Withey (Kansas), Center (7-1, 222) – Since
Minnesota will go with shooting at No. 9, Withey makes sense here. The front
line of the Wolves, while talented, got decimated by injuries. Withey is great
insurance. He's capable already.
27. DENVER NUGGETS – Jamaal Franklin (San Diego State), Shooting Guard/Small
Forward (6-5, 191) – Led San Diego State in scoring, rebounding, assists and
steals. Has quite an all-around game. Remind you of anyone who might be
leaving Denver via free agency? An Andre Iguodala, perhaps?
28. SAN ANTONIO SPURS – Reggie Bullock (North Carolina), Shooting Guard (6-7,
200) – The Spurs love shooters, especially ones who played for Roy Williams.
Makes sense, although, if Withey slides to here, he could go. A couple of
Spurs bigs could be leaving in free agency.
29. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER – Giannis Adetokundo (Greece), Small Forward (6-9,
215) – Perfect idea – OKC takes this kid and stashes him in Europe or the D-
30. PHOENIX SUNS – Tim Hardaway, Jr. (Michigan), Shooting Guard (6-7. 199) –
What's not to love about this kid? The genes are there (his dad Tim Hardaway
was a multiple-time All-Star), he played at a high level for a team that
reached the national championship game (Michigan). Phoenix, which got this pick
from the Miami Heat, could use more winners.

Any preferences? Are sram components Made in America, Japan, China?
Any preferences? Are sram components Made in America, Japan, China?
I like SRAM chains. I'm fine with either SRAM or Shimano cassettes. I like Campy shifters largely because of the way the left shifters work. I've only used Shimano derailleurs but they seem to work well so I'm not eager to switch.
Campy brifters because they are rebuildable, logical (push to the right, chain goes right, push to the left, chain goes left), and have aero routing for both cables so they work with handlebar bags.
Shimano derailleurs & clusters because they support wider ranges.
J-Tek Shiftmates to make them work together.
Keith Hearn
I'm a Shimano guy for the moment, though SRAM stuff is pretty slick. For brifters: The Shimano lever functionality is nicest for me, and I prefer the wider hood than SRAM. The new Shimano lever design (6700) is really neat. It incorporates the best of all worlds, IMO, and shifts very smoothly. My only complaint with Shimano stuff is the saddle shape of the 5600, 4500 hoods, and the fact that the finish they use doesn't stand up to whatever chemicals are in some people's sweat.
For other components, aside from derailleurs, which have to along with the brifters, I'd go with Shimano. Their cranks are more cost effective. Their cassettes and chains run quieter, and their hubs are unparalleled (save for Phil Wood).
I find Campy stuff overrated, overpriced, and resistant to innovation. At one time they were king of quality, and I think they're still living in that era, before Shimano and SRAM stepped up their game. That isn't to say Campy stuff doesn't have benefits or fit preferences for many, but I think they could do much better.
Right now Im sold on Sram. My 27 speed set up with twist grips shift almost flawlessly most every time. By that I mean the shifts are quick and quiet.
I think you're a bit behind the times. Campy made major changes to their brake/shifters last year, greatly improving ergonomics and introducing an entirely new internal mechanism. They came out with three 11 speed groups and added a fourth, late last year. The new shifters are also used on their two remain 10 speed groups. Campy shifters start at $120 and go up to $320. Compare that to Shimano prices.
In contrast, Shimanos lame effort to update their shifters reduced their function and it was only offered in one groupo, not five. This year they trickled down the new shifters to Ultegra, so they're on two groups compared to Campy's current six.
It's Shimano and SRAM that have the catching up to do.
Tough decision deciding which way to go. Currently a Shimano person, 8-9-10spd. Dura Ace, 8spd. XTR, 6-7spd.XT.' Never a failure'. Sram is light but not proven over the long haul, and I don't know where it's made. I understand the new 7900 stuff hates grime and needs new cables every 6-9 mos. but so what. How is the Super Record's quality? As good as shimano. All that carbon stuff looks fragile. One more point on the way Shimano levers work. In the event of a crash they are less prone to breakage.
Bring popcorn. This thread will hit three pages by tomorrow.
I've been using Campy carbon brake levers since they first came out, over 10 years sgo. I've crashed a number of times and never broken a carbon brake lever. They have hit the pavement and scrapped the clearcoat off in a couple of places, but never broken. Tose scrapes wre easily fixed with nail polish or clear lacquer.
I had a car/bike accident with my nearly new 11 speed shifters in November of '08. That was the first time that I really broke a shifter after 15 years of using Campy. Another rider next to me got broadsided first and pushed sideways into me. I've got no idea what hit the shifter, because the brake lever and brake hood were undamaged but the whole upper part of the ergo body broke off. Campy used to sell new ergo bodies, so you could replace one for $30 or so. They recently quit that, so I had to buy a major assembly that includes everything except the brake lever, brake hood and band clamp. That cost a $100, but it was worth it to fix $280 shifters. I also had a good use for the spare internal parts - converting a Centaur 10 shifter to 11 speed at no cost.
SR is in no way better in quality than lower level shifters. The only difference between SR, Record and Chorus is one titanium part and cutouts in the brake lever. Those two tings only drop about 10 grams per pair of shifters, so you pay a lot and get little for it. It pays to analyze what you're getting for the money before selecting a groupo. You can always mix levels to get just what you want. I'm using all Record except for cassettes and chains. Chrous cassettes cost 1/3 what SR does and last twice as long.
If you don't need the extra range that Campag can't handle, I also recommend their rear derailleurs - so much beefier... they resist wear much better.
And once more, I'm gonna piss all over Campy rear hubs; they're not a sensible design at all, with that silly floating cassette body and unsupported spindle.
Last edited by Kimmo; 02-23-10 at 06:53 PM.
Will an 11spd. SR rear der. handle a 12-28 chorus cassette? And thanks for the heads up on the rear hubs. I don't like all the flashy print on there wheelsets anyway. BTW, this is for a frameset made in Italy if that makes a difference. My LBS says go Campy on an Italian bike.
Also, Campy's bearing adjustment method, which uses a cone that can be adjusted while the wheel is clamped in the frame, and then clamped in place with a set screw is truly a better method.
The one and only Italian bike I've ever owned ('97 Pinarello Vuelta) was equipped with Shimano 600 when I first saw it. I traded for the bike, and knew immediately that despite the fact that the Shimano 600 parts were nice, I had no interest in keeping them on the bike. Again, it was strictly subjective, but this was a special bike to me. The deal I eventually ended up making didn't even include the Shimano parts, I just wanted the frame and fork. I put Campy on the bike, and I'm very glad I did.
Then too, as I mentioned above, Campy's current hubs have no real weaknesses so there is no incentive for them to "fix" them with a redesign.
There are absolutely no problems resulting from this design. Shimano has the design with the problem. Their shallow splines won't hold up if made of aluminum, so you end up with a heavier hub. The new DA model is still heavier than the design that Campy came up with in 1999 and much more expensive.
The only difference is the Shimano design reduces the bending moment on the axle. That's a good thing, but not if it restricts the spline design. If the Campy design was really flawed, you'd be reading reports of bent axles and/or prematurely failed bearings. Campy's axles don't bend, even though they are made of aluminum. The large OD takes care of that problem.

Thanks, I'll go with campy components. Mabey give Rolf Elan RS wheels a go. Bike is a 2010 Bianchi S9 Matta.
The only real problem with Campy hubs is that they seem to be getting out of the hub business. They offer only "Record" hubs as a separate component and all of their others are only available as part of pre-built wheel sets.

Brussels sprouts aren't everyone's favorite vegetable… by a long shot. But you know what? They haven't been given a proper introduction! You can't really say "Hello!" when you've been steamed, buttered and salted and you're leaking all over the other side dishes. At that point, you're the vegetable that sits on the side of the plate waiting for a cute little side dish to come over and ask you to spoon.
It's time for brussels sprouts to make a comeback. They're a zero point food, they're really quite tasty when they're not steamed and leaky, but most of all, they're cute! Think of them as the ugly ducklings of the vegetable world. They can be truly beautiful. My sister and I used to call them "barbie cabbages" because they were so tiny and fun to play with. The only reason I liked them when I was younger was because I loved to peel off each steamed leafy layer and eat them. I thought it would make me skinnier because it would take longer to eat. (Oh silly pre-teen logic. I thought the same thing about skittles and fried rice too.)
I was looking at my Foodgawker favorites this morning for a great recipe to share and this one from Slice of Feist really caught my eye! Beautiful pictures, great instructions and after figuring out the points value, I knew I had to share! Here's her recipe almost verbatim.
Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Bacon (adapted from Slice of Feist)
Servings: 3
PointsPlus Per Serving: 7
- 1 Pound Brussels Sprouts rinsed, trimmed and sliced in half
- 2 Tablespoons Light Butter, 3 PP
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (she 4 all together, but just split it up and use some Pam Cooking Spray too), 7 PP
- 1/4 of a Sweet Yellow Onion chopped
- 1 Garlic Clove Crushed
- 3 Slices Turkey Bacon roughly chopped, 2 PP
- 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 3/4 Cup Chicken Broth
- Salt and Pepper
- 1/4 Cup Pecan Pieces, 5 PP
1. Heat a large cast iron skillet on medium high. Add your butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Once butter is melted, add your Brussels sprouts. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring and allowing Brussels sprouts to brown up a bit.
2. Add your Turkey Bacon and Onions, cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes, allowing things to brown up nicely.
3. Add your Garlic clove and cook for about a minute. Then add your Balsamic Vinegar and Chicken Broth. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing things to simmer and reduce. If you need, add more broth to continue cooking things. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Transfer Brussels Sprouts to a lovely serving platter, and place the cast iron skillet back on the heat. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil and then pop the pecans in the pan. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring and allowing things to toast up. Once the nuts begin to brown and become fragrant, turn the heat off and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Toss on top of the Brussels Sprouts! Tadah!
Doesn't that all just sound so wonderful? I've definitely put brussels sprouts on my grocery list for the next trip! This recipe gives you healthy oils, protein from the nuts and TB and a great serving of vegetables! You'll eat every last bite.

Good or bad idea? Is it too much for going it alone?
Good or bad idea? Is it too much for going it alone?
good grief, you'll be fine. put an extra bottle and some extra gels in your pockets.
That was the plan pretty much. Mostly just wavering between one or two extra bottles and the fact that I'm not much of a climber.
do it. it make you strong like bull
The majority of weekend warriors are "unsupported".
That's what pockets are for.
further proof that the internet has turned this into a sport of pussies.
i think they should make the whole thing unsupported, i.e. close the feed zones for all stages. we've got guys throwing bottles on the ground outside of the feed zone on a 60 mile flat stage that takes less than 3 hours to complete. also cat3s still can't figure out how to get a bottle while moving .
I should be there in the 3s... usually 1 bottle in my pocket depending on how long the hill stage ends up being. 09 was a 78 miles, last year was 67.
Relax dude...It ain't rocket science...I'm in Catskills right now, it's going to be sunny, hot and humid...I'm unsupported and so is my wife, we have pockets and spare bottles to carry ourselves...We bring our cell phones, just in case, and race...
"On the other hand riding down a hill at 55 MPH wearing (essentially) women's underwear and a Styrofoam cup on your head is the epitome of rational life-extending decisions." - RacerEx
Some guy asked if hand-ups were allowed in one of my Masters crits today. Yeah, it was hot, but come on.
Beat a dead horse time. Did it unsupported, but the race provided bonk support or bonk! provided support? I'm not sure who did it but it was very cool. Except they ran out of water at the bottom of app gap. I'm not complaining at all, but I did learn that the combination of warm soda, power bar, and gels makes for a pretty gaseous mixture as I climb (slowly). Anyway again great of them to do it and overall they really put together a great race.

I am always on the lookout for something different in a tasting room experience, and my visit to the Pope Valley Winery last week was just that. It was a fun and interesting visit and a chance to learn about the Pope Valley, the history of the winery, and chat with the Eakel Family who have been running the winery since 1997.
The winery was established in 1897 and much of the winery looks the same as it did the first day it opened. It was originally named the Burgundy Winery founded by Ed Haus. The winery was built into a hillside and you can still see the rock and stones that form the walls of the bottom two floors of the winery. The top floor is at the top of the hillside. Originally, the grapes were carted up there to be processed and then gravity took over to bring the wine down to the first floor.

FMCG company Godrej Consumer Products Ltd today posted an increase of 3.07 per cent in consolidated net profit at Rs 172.2 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 167.07 crore during the same period of previous fiscal.
Net sales of the company rose to Rs 1,691.31 crore during the quarter, as against Rs 1,344.06 crore during the corresponding period of 2011-12 fiscal, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) said in a statement.
Commenting on the results, GCPL Chairman Adi Godrej said: "...While the macroeconomic environment continues to be challenging, i believe our strong performance is a reflection of clear strategic focus, superior execution and our top notch team".
He added that going forward, the company would continue to be optimistic of continuing strong sales growth momentum and expect its profit performance to improve on the back of stronger traction from launches and favourable input prices.
In a separate filing to the BSE, the company said its board has approved the merger of Godrej Hygiene Products Ltd with itself.
Shares of GCPL today closed at Rs 708.45 on the BSE, down 1.73 per cent from their previous close.

Building Mobile Systems of EngagementDefining the winners and losers of today's mobile movement often comes down to who is providing the most customer value with their mobile offering.
With consumer exuberance of mobile apps in full display, many enterprises are finding opportunities within their customer bases, business partners and workforce to deliver value by creating the perfect mobile app.
Empowered consumers are demanding new engagement models on their terms with the companies they do business with. And, unfortunately, many companies are also inefficiently expending a lot of capital, time, resources – and worse – opportunities developing apps that don't add much value to their brands, businesses, or bottom lines.
What, then, is making the difference between the winners and losers in capitalizing on the promises offered by the unique characteristics and benefits of mobile? Learn more by reading Capitalizing on Mobile Moments for Smarter Commerce.

May 2013 - $30.00
No water hookups nor sewage but electrical worked fine. This is a state park so must pay state fees. Lovely park setting. If you are a big rig, you park on the road in side little parking spaces - if you are smaller you can park in the inside of the park in a more woodsy setting closer to lake Michigan. It is peaceful and lovely. Very rustic but would stay there again - it was cold and windy when we stayed but still a nice location. I am sure in the summer it is wonderful - FrancisandRenee
Jun 2011 - $18.00
We stayed here in our 28 foot travel trailer, and my nephew and his friend stayed in a tent on our site. Although the nightly rate is reasonable, it costs an additional $10 per night per car to cover the Wisconsin state park fees. This drove the nightly rate up to $38 per night. The office is run by an extremely rude woman. The parking pad was level and the site was ok although we prefer a site that is off the road a little bit. There was no flat space to use under our awning, and since it rained every day of our stay we were stuck inside. Wood is $5 for a very small amount of wood. Even in the rain we spent $10 for wood and still didn't have a fire for more than 2 hours. In addition they won't deliver it to your site, you have to pick it up yourself. We were amazed to find a number of sites that are located on the edge of the street. Park your rv there and walk up into the woods a bit for your fire pit and picnic table. The shore of Lake Michigan is gorgeous. The outhouses are acceptable. It is not likely we will stay here again. - lorenanddenise
Oct 2010 - $42.00
We booked this on line - only option - which adds $10.00 to the site fee of $22.00. There is an entrance fee of $10.00 per day each day! Buy the yearly out of state sticker for $35.00 if you want to enter a state park more than 3 times! We arrived after dark and could not back into our assigned site as there were picnic tables in the way. It was of course pitch dark. There were no unreserved spaces alongside the road available. We were very disappointed and drove the extra 110 miles home. We had driven from the City of Hougton, MI RV park, Wisconsin needs to look at how they run their park. Too expensive for what you get. - K&J

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I appreciate that this is a topic which others have opened, however this is a new question on the same topic.
Until today I was running Office 365 quite happily on IE9 and have been able to use Windows Explorer to upload files to my site.
Now I can't, and I'm getting the message "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer". The problem continues after a re-boot. The only changes I have made today are an update to AVG Anti-Virus Free 2012, and an update for Adobe Reader.
Have any other users had this problem, and if so, have you been able to find a solution?
With thanks, Don
Thanks for the feedback.
Office365; Open your Document Library using the option "Open with Explorer"; error message : Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
Solution: Turn off UAC (User Account Control).
The fact that in November of 2012 this is still an issue unresolved by MS is mediocre and unacceptable.
got the same issue and the solution provided above or in page 1 doesn't help. I hope the MS engineers are working on this to fix the issue as soon as possible.
After I followed all of instructions in Josephine Meng MSFT Support's verified answer, the client started working for me. Then I went back to Internet Zone Security, and re-enabled Protected Mode and completely exited IE9. When I restarted IE9, I went to my O365 Sharepoint Team Site, verified that protected mode was on (File/Properties after browsing to the page), and the client/windows explorer access to Sharepoint continued to work. I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me and I'm much more comfortable browsing in protected mode.
Unfortunately this is a major issue with SharePoint, and following the advice of the support personnel on this site will only get you so far. In short the recommendation to remove all of your browser data, add the site to your trusted zone, and restarting your webclient only works for a short while, if at all. Most of the time this temporary fix does not even work, and sometimes it does; it's like flipping a coin.
Typically when I call 365 support about this I don't get very far. They want to see the problem in action, (as though they have never seen it before) and since the error is intermittent it is hard to recreate. If you can recreate it, then they will walk you through the might be temporary fix, and if it works they close the case. But the issue remains, and will start back up again sooner or later. Mapping a network drive is the same thing as opening with explorer, so do not even think that is a workaround.
At this moment I do not believe they have an alternative, but it would be nice if they developed a client for this.
As for this forum, expect them to keep spamming you with the same copy and paste resolution they have been feeding us for months.
You might want to look into creating a MACRO or script of some sort that issues these commands, and then hand that script off to your users. You will also have to explain to them that they can never store passwords or browser data of any kind if they want to use the script. This is a terrible fix that I am suggesting, but it's better than Microsoft's.

So far I have tried everything listed above (except the Macro), found a hotfix that supposedly fixed the issue (but didn't), added the site to local intranet instead of trusted sites (still no love), added ascendumims.sharepoint.com to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters AuthForwardServerList registry key, and it has NEVER worked for me. this is really really frustrating and one would think that after sooo long of it not working Microsoft would come up with a better solution. I'm going to call and see if they can come up with something better.
The answer I just received from Microsoft that FINALLY worked was to click the "Keep me signed in" checkbox. It worked for me, it worked for my boss, and it's an answer we can live with.

My issues is intermittent on our SharePoint. In one particular site collection i can open it with explorer but in another subsite libray I can't open with explorer. This is really a pain in the ass because our users would like to use this feature to speed up their work but they face this kind of problem everyday and no permanent fix yet.
Does anyone having this problem use Carbonite for backup?
If I pause Carbonite, shortcuts get created reliably. When Carbonite is running during the time I create a shortcut, it does not appear in the Windows Explorer "SharePoint Sites" Icon.
I speculate that Carbonite is noticing the newly created shortcut, locking the file to get ready to back it up, and interfering with the linkage between Windows Explorer and the SharePoint Site.
I tried all of the above "fixes" but the "Keep me signed in" was the one that fixed it!!! Thank you et3rae for the response.
"Keep me signed in." has worked on 32 bit machines but I still have problems with some 64 bit. We use 32 bit Explorer 9 and 10, have done all of the above suggestions with trusted sites, regedit, delete temp files, etc.
By the way, the only way I could use the multiple file upload option on 64 bit machines was to install SharePoint designer. I did not even open SPD, multiple items upload just starts working.
Today I clicked Datasheet View and it worked.
Another day "Keep me signed in." worked.
Another day moving http://mydomain.sharepoint.com/ to Security/ Local Intranet/Advanced from Trusted Sites.
This is not a fix but another workaround suggested by Microsoft support:
1. Goto your teamsite, "Shared Documents"
2. Under "Lists" click calendar
3. Under "Calendar Tools" click calendar
4. Return to "Shared Documents" and try "open with explorer" again
5. et voila
Weird I know, but has worked twice for me now
Well I'm back, it's Sunday evening and I need to get some work done but ... oh wait ... I can't because this software isn't working like it should. I really have run out of patience with this. and I have to say that it's pathetic that in the 18 months since this error was reported it hasn't been fixed.
Result? I shall be moving all my files over to Dropbox where I can share them reliably and painlessly.
Yes it is a workaround. This is very frustrating.
July 2013: This no longer seems to work.
