Space station crew evacuate
From KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL.
The six-member crew of the International Space Station took shelter in two Russian Soyuz spacecraft early Tuesday because of a predicted close approach by an unknown piece of space debris. Radar tracking indicated the debris could pass within about 820 feet of the space station at 8:08 a.m. EDT (GMT-4), but no impact was detected and the crew was told to resume normal operations.

Rock Monster Photo Contest: Winner!
Our Photo Contest challenge the other day was for members to shoot their best impersonation of a Rock Monster. The entries were posted here on the forum, and the judges have deliberated.
Without further adieu:
Meeotch takes the prize!
Even if my stated bias in the contest announcement had been taken out of the equation, the judges unanimously still would have awarded Meeotch the win for his accuracy to the original image and moxie to actually pull it off with such flair. I mean seriously, a tricycle? Well played, you little rock monster, you.

Special Union Pacific Train Focuses on Rail Safety Enforcement
Message to Aurora, Denver Drivers: Safety is Top Priority at Railroad Crossings
Denver, Colo., July 21, 2009 There is no such thing as luck when it comes to trying to beat a train. Federal Railroad Administration statistics attribute nearly 2,400 crashes every year to driver behavior, which often involves trying to beat a train. That is why Union Pacific is partnering with Colorado law enforcement agencies to host an "Officer on the Train" event July 22.
A special passenger train will allow community leaders, law enforcement officers and education officials to learn about the importance of highway-railroad grade crossing safety.
Union Pacific will work with the Aurora Police Department from 9 a.m. - noon, leaving from the Roydale Yard west of the 37th Street and Peoria Street crossing. Union Pacific then will work with the Denver Police Department from 1 - 4 p.m., leaving from the Denver Intermodal facility at 1851 40th Street.
"We want to offer community leaders the opportunity to see first-hand the risks people take every time they try to beat the train," said Cayl England of the Union Pacific police department. "Everyone from the new teenage driver to professional drivers needs to be aware of rail safety and this is one way Union Pacific builds partnerships with the community to reduce fatalities and injuries at grade crossings."
"Officer on the Train" allows local police officers to ride on trains and observe motorist behavior at highway-railroad grade crossings. If a motorist violates the grade-crossing traffic laws, the police officer on the train radios an officer near the crossing who can issue the motorist a citation along with educating them about rail safety.
While law enforcement officers focus on the public outside the train, civic leaders inside the train will get a rare opportunity to see what train crew members see. Video cameras are mounted in the locomotive cabs, broadcasting to television monitors in the passenger cars.
Union Pacific also works with Operation Lifesaver, a nationwide non-profit public safety education and outreach program designed to eliminate collisions, deaths and injuries where streets and roads cross railroad tracks at grade and on railroad rights of way. Operation Lifesaver's trained and certified volunteer speakers provide free safety presentations for various professions and for all age groups in order to increase public safety around railroad tracks.

Another reprieve for Truro City
It may seem a bit like the condemned man who has become a fixture on death row being given another short stay of execution, but the latest news about Truro City does offer a slim hope that they might escape extinction.
The administrators have been given another week to save the club after players agreed to stay until October 11th. As before, there are five or six parties said to be interested in buying the club, but what that means is far from clear. Does it just amount to the idea appealing to them and do they have the necessary funds? None of them has emerged as a firm bidder and they have had plenty of time to do that.
What is more significant is that the debts appear to be less than was previously supposed. They are now said to be 'only'' £190,000 with the possibility of being negotiated down to a smaller figure. My premium bond winnings this month are £25, but if I had hit the jackpot I might step in at that figure, given that I am of Cornish descent on my mother's side. The serious point is that the sums involved are achievable for a group of moderately wealthy people.
The White Tigers do not have a fixture this weekend, so the players have been told they can play for other clubs this weekend to keep fit. The hope is that an investor will come in by next Thursday so that the home fixture to Dover Athletic on the Saturday can be fulfilled.

- Yield
- Makes 8 to 10 servings
- Active Time
- 1 1/2 hr
- Total Time
- 3 hrs
- For cake layers
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts (6 oz)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- For jam filling
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (less than 1 envelope)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 3/4 cup strained blackberry preserves (from 1 cup with seeds)
- Special equipment: a pastry bag fitted with an 3/4-inch plain tip
- Make cake layers:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan and line bottom with wax or parchment paper. Butter paper.
- Pulse walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped (do not allow to become a paste) and stir together with flour in a bowl.
- Beat together butter and 1/3 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Stir in nut mixture by hand.
- Beat egg whites with salt with cleaned beaters in another bowl at medium speed until they hold soft peaks. Add remaining 1/3 cup sugar and beat at high speed until whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth of whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
- Spread batter evenly in baking pan, smoothing top. Bake in middle of oven until center is set and top is pale golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack. Cover cake with an inverted baking sheet, then invert cake onto it and remove paper.
- Reinvert cake onto a cutting board. Trim about 1/4 inch from each side of cake with a sharp knife, then cut cake crosswise into 4 equal rectangles (each about 9 by 3 1/2 inches). Line baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and transfer cake to baking sheet, arranging layers side by side, touching.
- Make jam filling:
- Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat strained preserves in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until warm, then add gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and set in a larger bowl of ice water. Cool, stirring occasionally, until cold, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Spread jam evenly over cake layers and chill until set, about 1 hour.
- Assemble cake:
- Reserve the nicest-looking cake layer for top. Put 1 cake layer, jam side up, on a cake platter and spread with 1/3 cup buttercream. Top with second cake layer, jam side up, and spread with 1/3 cup buttercream. Top with third layer, jam side up, and spread with 1/3 cup buttercream. Top with reserved cake layer, jam side up. Frost sides of cake with about 1 cup buttercream. Transfer remaining buttercream to pastry bag and pipe a decorative border around top edge of cake.
Cooks' notes:
Cake layers spread with jam can be made 1 day ahead of assembling and chilled, loosely covered with plastic wrap(use toothpicks to hold wrap away from jam). Cake may be assembled 1 day ahead and chilled in a cake keeper or loosely covered with plastic wrap(use toothpicks to hold wrap away from frosting). Bring to room temperature before serving.

I fear settling for the wrong person
Here comes the rain again. Falling on my head like a memory. Falling on my head like a new emotion. Update at 10:30 a.m.: Letter writer has e-mailed to say she's 25. No surprise there, right?. -meredith
Dear Meredith, Let me start by saying that reading your column has really given me insight into my own life. Through reading other people's relationship problems, I think I have discovered my own. I am not someone who has dated much in the past. Yes, there have been guys here and there, but for the most part, I have always been single. I have had plenty of suitors, and have gone on countless first and even second dates. I am a fun, outgoing, attractive person with lots of friends and a fulfilled life. It would appear that nothing would be stopping me from finding the "guy of my dreams." So what's my problem? I am terrified of ending up with the wrong person. I am so scared in fact that I even have had dreams that I am walking down the aisle at my wedding and I suddenly panic because I realize that the person waiting for me at the end of the aisle is not the right one. This fear has propelled me to pick apart every person I have dated, and if one thing is not right for me, I jump ship. I also want to mention that my parents are very happily married, in case you or anyone commenting may think that this fear is a result of my parents not ending up with the right people. Do you have any advice on how I can get over this fear of ending up with the wrong person, so I can actually give the right person a chance?
– My Own Worst Enemy, Somerville
MOWE, you didn't tell us your age, but I'm going to guess that you're young. If you've been reading Love Letters like you say you have, you know that people in their 20s often panic about winding up with the wrong person, while people in their 30s and beyond often freak out about winding up alone. Yes, I'm generalizing. Not everyone is the same. But at some point, most people realize that there is no guy of their dreams. They realize that even if they find someone fantastic, it won't feel 100 percent right all the time. It will just feel good. The fact that you have "countless suitors" is part of the problem. I'm all for people having options, but sometimes it's difficult to commit to one person when you know there might be someone better around the corner. My guess is that if your options dwindle, you'll take a closer look at each and every one of those suitors. My advice is to keep doing what you're doing. Trust your gut. If you don't want a third date with someone, that's fine. I don't care if everyone you know is getting married. You have to do what feels right for you. At some point, you'll want more from someone, whether it's because you're lonely, bored, or because you meet someone you don't want to give up. Most likely, it will be about you. Often, we commit to relationships based on what's going on in our own heads, not because we've met someone who's better than everyone else. And don't worry about the wedding dream. Sometimes I dream that my teeth have fallen out. Sometimes I dream that I'm trying to interview Justin Timberlake for the Globe but I can't find a pen to take notes (I've had that dream a few times). Dreams are just dreams. I keep five pens in my purse. If I ever need one in real life, I'll be ready. So will you, if that makes sense. Readers? Is there a problem here? Should she be going on more third dates? What's up with her nightmare? Anyone have relationship dreams/nightmares they want to share? Are the "countless suitors" the problem? Discuss.
– Meredith

P1 Special Report: Should pro-pedophilia group be allowed to "Adopt a Highway"?
Discuss this topic in the PoliceOne Forum. (Secure - Login Required)
An alert retired homicide detective was instrumental in the suspension of Illinois' volunteer highway cleanup program when he discovered the state was showcasing an organization for pedophiles in signs along a busy thoroughfare. His discovery suggests you may want to check signage for similar programs in your area.
The former lawman, Scott Broehl, was driving along a stretch of state highway that cuts thru the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights recently when a sign posted for the Adopt A Highway program caught his eye. The program, overseen by the Illinois Department of Transportation, erects decorative metal signs commending individuals and organizations who volunteer to pick up roadside trash. In Illinois about 3,400 miles of highways have been "adopted" by some 1,700 various groups. Other states have similar programs.
The highly visible sign Broehl noticed identified "NAMBLA INC." as the civic-minded organization responsible for keeping a two-mile stretch of State Route 58 clean through Arlington Heights.
Broehl, who worked homicide in Atlanta, was incensed. NAMBLA, he knows, stands for North American Man-Boy Love Association, a group that advocates pedophilia and wants to legalize sex with minors, including even very young children. "They let these people adopt highways?" Broehl fumed. "It's sick!"
Broehl presented photos of the sign to Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass, who stirred up anger and embarrassment in the state capital with a few pointed phone calls. Transportation officials ordered NAMBLA's signage removed, began a statewide review in search of other offensive signs, then suspended the entire adoption program pending further investigation.
In his column in the Tribune on Thursday (April 14), Kass observed: "The only time pedophiles should be cleaning highways is when they are accompanied by prison guards and wearing leg-irons and bright orange uniforms. Pedophiles should never be released from prison. They can't be rehabilitated. There's something inside them beyond repair."
Where all this will end up is unknown. In Missouri the Ku Klux Klan won the right in court to have its name displayed on adopt-a-highway signs on 1st Amendment grounds.

Re: GPFS For Windows2013-03-06T18:49:34ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Hello,
There is nothing preventing you from installing GPFS/Windows without a domain. However, being a distributed filesystem, it requires user SIDs to be the same across all the nodes so that the ACLs allow for same user rights on all the nodes. You will not get that in a WorkGroup setting.
How many nodes are we talking about? Are there any Linux/AIX nodes in the mix? For a single Windows node without Unix in the mix, you could do without a domain. For multiple Windows nodes, the "domain-less" option will require you to fix the ACLs of all files (allow access to user SID from every node).

Jefferson City Police are looking into two armed robberies in less than 24 hours.
Officers responded to a robbery on Elizabeth Street at about 11:00 Monday night. The victim said he was meeting with someone he knew in an apartment, when another person pulled out a gun, hit him in the face, and demanded cash. He didn't need medical treatment, but he did give the robber some money.
A second armed robbery happened Tuesday at about 5:30 p.m. That victim says someone he knew took cash from him at gunpoint, and was possibly still taking things from his home on Scenic Drive.
Police couldn't track down the suspect. A K-9 Unit briefly picked up his trail, but then lost it. JCPD Captain Doug Shoemaker says there's no connection between the two thefts, or any other recent crime.
"There's always more to every story," Capt. Shoemaker says. "This is certainly not a random thing. There's no need for any type of fear of random armed robberies."
No one was seriously hurt in either case. Shoemaker says they have good suspect info in both robberies, because the victims knew their alleged attacker.
"We've developed leads. We're working to close those up, and we expect some closure to the cases within the near future," Shoemaker says.

Spain stretches lead at top of world rankings
ZURICH -- European champions Spain remained top of the world soccer rankings for a fourth straight month on Wednesday after extending their lead over world champions Italy.
World Cup qualifying wins over Armenia and Bosnia were enough to keep Vicente Del Bosque's side comfortably clear of the Italians, who also enjoyed qualifying victories over Georgia and Cyprus in the past month.
Brazil climbed above the Netherlands and Croatia into fourth place off the back of their World Cup qualifying draw with Bolivia and away win over Chile.
Scotland's hopes of leapfrogging traditional rivals England, however, evaporated following a shock 1-0 defeat in Macedonia.
After suffering the largest drop of points in this month's rankings, Scotland fell 10 places, to 26th while England's win over Croatia helped Fabio Capello's team climb one spot to 14th.
The U.S. moved up seven spots to 21st, ahead of rival Mexico at No. 24.

As many foundations are cutting back grants, the Eli and Edyth Broad Foundation, one of the country's largest foundations with Jewish roots, keeps making news with sizable grants.
In the past week I have seen the following:
- A $2.5 million grant to help two New York City charter school systems, according to the Times. (Not the move to help build Hebrew charter schools.)
- A $450,000 grant over four years to the Julliard School of Music's program to advance its program to give access to the school's music training program for minorities. That grant is meant to spur a $1.5 million fund raising initiative, according to the LA Times.
- A $450,000-plus grant to the Detroit Public School system to help review the school district's financial situation. Eli Broad was a graduate of Detroit Central High School, reports the Detroit News.
- The foundation also just named the finalists for its annual $2 million grant to help urban school districts.

How-to Decorate Cookies
Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag. Insert a round tip; fill bag with icing. Hold bag at a 45° angle to the cookie, and pipe a bead of icing around the edge. Stop squeezing the bag before you lift the tip from the cookie.
Thin remaining icing so that it will flow smoothly. Fill another bag with thinned icing. Starting in the middle, fill in the cookie with the thinned icing, letting icing flow up to the outline. Let cookies dry overnight.
If desired, with a new small paintbrush, paint your own designs on the cookies with liquid food coloring.

Hello folks,
Im considering getting a dac to connect to my old Sony DVD player, but I am confused about the dvd player's coaxial out connection. It says above the socket - digital out. Would this coaxial out be compatible with current DACs ? Im confused because I read online of different sorts of coaxial types and I want to ensure I have things straight before I take the plunge into different DACs.
Thanks !

Rather like wee Jimmy Krankie brandishing a cut-throat razor, the island green of the 17th at Sawgrass is short and full of menace.
It is that time of the year again when the golfing ghouls gather round the Stadium course's 137-yard penultimate hole to whoop and holler as a series of nervy tee-shots gurgle their last in a watery grave.
The Players' Championship, which gets underway this week, has always caused something of a splash. It's big and it's bold; an event that, traditionally, is illuminated by the sheer strength of its field while the whopping purse of $10 million, and a first prize of $1.8m, makes it one of the richest in the game. It may not have been officially anointed as "the fifth Major", but The Players' Championship remains a major attraction.
Loading article content
As for the course itself? Well, like that aforementioned 17th, it's a case of hit or miss. Statements like "90% horse manure, 10% luck", and "they ruined a perfectly good swamp", are hardly what you would call ringing endorsements, but Pete Dye's idiosyncratic and intriguing design has always polarised opinion. There is no doubting the stiffness of the challenge it poses, however.
Since Sawgrass first hosted the championship in 1982 - it had been staged at a variety of venues since its inception in 1974 before settling in this corner of Florida - there has never been a back-to-back champion and only five of the 32 winners have won twice. Tiger Woods, the reigning champion who is recovering after back surgery, captured his first Players' title in 2001 but had to wait 12 years to land a second.
Experience and a knowledge of Sawgrass's various nooks and crannies tends to be a feature of recent champions. Prior to Woods' win 12 months ago, seven of the previous eight champions had made a minimum of seven appearances in the championship before winning, with Matt Kuchar, the 2012 champion, finally making the breakthrough at the eighth attempt.
In 1987, it was Scotland's very own Sandy Lyle who made a breakthrough of a different kind. His nerve-jangling win in a play-off ended the American stranglehold of the event as he became its first overseas winner.
"I often look at a poster that I still have on a wall at home with my winning score of 14 under par on it and wonder how the hell I got around that course in that score," reflected Lyle, who would go on to snuggle himself into Augusta's famed green jacket at the Masters the following year. "I was amazed because I couldn't see how that layout could suit my game. It is just relentless and by that I mean relentless trouble, with water everywhere."
A quarter of a century after Lyle's trail-blazing triumph, his countryman Martin Laird came close to emulating that conquest when he took the runners-up spot behind Kuchar. Sawgrass has been something of a happy hunting ground for the three-time PGA Tour champion and a closing 67 last season propelled Laird up into a share of fifth.
For another Scot, Stephen Gallacher, pictured, the trip to Florida will be a step into the unknown. He is getting used to taking them. Last month, it was a debut appearance in the Masters. Next up is The Players' Championship.
"I've seen so much of it on the TV that I feel I almost know the course already, a bit like the Masters in that respect," said Gallacher, who is enjoying the forays in the USA that have come with his rise into the upper reaches of the world rankings. "It's quite reinvigorating to be having these new experiences. When you play a bit better, the reward is that you get to play in the bigger tournaments against the best in the world. That's what you want to be doing."
That, and staying out of the water, of course.

Cuero, Texas is home to several top Division I prospects for the class of 2007 and offensive tackle Justin Freeman is certainly on that list.
Starting on varsity this past season as a junior, he has spent most of his time at the tackle position even since his junior high days. Freeman's aggressive run-blocking has garnered him recruiting interest from the likes of Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Houston and others.
"Things have really been picking up," Freeman said. "I've been really trying to get down my pass-blocking, but as of right now I've been doing well. I've always played tackle, so I'm familiar with the position."
Freeman says that Houston and OSU have been the two schools recruiting him the hardest. Those two, along with Texas A&M are his current favorites.
"I just know people that have gone to A&M, so that's always been a favorite of mine," Freeman said. "I don't know why I like Oklahoma State, but maybe it's because they've been seeking me out so hard. Houston, we had J.T. Rudd sign with them from last year, so it would be cool to play with him again."
Freeman plans on camping at Texas A&M this summer and making it to a remaining junior day or two this spring.
It appears the Aggies are already in strong position.
"It's a big great school," Freeman said about A&M. "I'd love to play for them. If you go there, it's really an accomplishment I think."
Freeman was an all-district selection as a junior.

Addabbo Votes to Approve Legislation Allowing Vietnam-Era Veterans to Continue Filing Lawsuits for Agent Orange Injuries
S.6623 Passed Both Houses and Was Just Signed into Law
Queens, New York, July 18, 2012 -- NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. (D-Queens) recently voted to approve important legislation (S.6623) to enable Vietnam-era veterans who were harmed by exposure to Agent Orange and other toxic herbicides to continue pursuing legal actions for their injuries through 2014. Having passed overwhelmingly in the Senate with Addabbo's support, the bill then passed in the Assembly and was signed into law on June 29.
"Many servicemen and servicewomen returned home from Vietnam only to find, often many years later, that their contact with Agent Orange and other phenoxy herbicides during their tours of duty had severely compromised their health," said Addabbo. "Back in the early 1980s, the New York State Legislature took action to enable these veterans and their families to bring lawsuits related to their illnesses, and even deaths, resulting from contact with these wartime chemicals. This legislation allows Vietnam-era veterans to continue to pursue compensation for their injuries."
Prior to the original law being enacted, servicemen and servicewomen were often barred from bringing legal actions for their injuries because the timeframe for bringing lawsuits began running at the time a veteran was initially exposed to the chemical, rather than from the time the actual injury was discovered. Since cancers, birth defects and other diseases linked to Agent Orange and similar herbicides often don't appear until many years after contact, the statute of limitations for bringing lawsuits had already run out for the veterans in question. Veterans affected by the legislation are those who served in the armed forces in Indochina from 1961 through 1975.
"Allowing Vietnam-era veterans and their families to bring personal injury lawsuits related to Agent Orange exposure was the right thing to do in 1981, and it's the right thing to do now," said Addabbo, the ranking Democratic member of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs. "More than 600,000 New York state residents served in Southeast Asia during this conflict, and those who have become ill or who have died as a result of unwitting contact with dangerous chemicals deserve justice. Continuing to allow them and their families their day in court is one way of respecting their valiant service and supporting them at a time of great need."

I may be somewhat biased since I both judge wine competitions and run a few of them myself, but I find that despite the criticism they often get wine competitions can be very helpful for the consumer. They offer a way to weed through the tons of wines that are out on the market and provide a service that is unique. Critics of competitions will say that they are useless and that scores given to the wines entered do not matter, but I would have to disagree. Most competitions are careful to choose expert judges, and each has different criteria. Some do not allow winemakers while others prefer to have a technical palate on each panel. Each panel tastes through a series of wines "blind", i.e. knowing only the basics, sometimes just grape variety, sometimes vintage and price. They offers their critiques and often discuss as a group as well, a process that I think offers a more balanced approach than a single wine critic's palate. The important thing is to find a competition that is reputable. The Los Angeles International Wine and Spirits Competition (results June 21, at www.lawinecomp.com) is not only one that I find very reputable (if I may say so since I am a judge), but it's also a great learning experience for me, this year I had a chance to judge sake with an esteemed panel of judges including sake experts Kimberly Charles (Charles Communications), Sally Mohr (a retailer, Boulder Wine Merchant), Sake guru Linda Noel Kawabata who studied sake in Japan for many years and the esteemed "grocer" Darrell Corti (Corti Brothers in Sacramento, he's much more than a grocer but that's how he introduces himself, he is a food and wine maverick.) Last week I judged wines in Amador County and tasting thirty-six 14.5% plus alcohol Zinfandels is no easy task, but it sure gave me a great feel for the region and its wines! http://amadorcountyfair.com/WineResults.aspx This week I am helping to run the Slow Food Golden Glass Wine Competition which has a unique focus featuring "green" wines, or wines that are in keeping with the Slow Food ideals. For this competition we required producers that entered to submit a statement of sustainability so that we can remind producers of the importance of greening their businesses. Not only do wine competitions offer a service for the consumer many of them are non-profit, so the entry fees go towards a good cause. The best competitions, like Slow Food Golden Glass (gold medal wines will be available to taste at their event this Saturday June 12, 2010 at Fort Mason go to http://www.thegoldenglass.com/ for tickets), the Los Angeles International Competition and the Dallas Morning News Wine Competition offer special events where consumers can taste what the judges picked, and that is the best of all since really what you enjoy is what matters most, we just try to prevent you from having to taste all the DNPIM wines. And for those not in the know, that means "do not put in mouth", it's a hard job this wine judging!

Contributing writer
As recently as 2010, former Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom
Emmer of Delano was representing Otsego and other areas of the former
House District 19B in the state Legislature.
When Emmer joined the race for Minnesota's highest elected office that
year in a challenge against eventual victor Mark Dayton, five other
District 19B Republicans sought local support in the hopes of winning
Emmer's House seat. Joe McDonald, also of Delano, won his party's
endorsement for the seat and went on to defeat his Democratic
challenger, Christine Brazelton, by a 2-to-1 ratio.
McDonald received assistance through his summer and fall campaign from
three of the other four Republicans whom he had debated in the spring
and taken the endorsement.
Two years later, redistricting that happens every 10 years has moved
Otsego residents out of McDonald's House district and into new House
District 30B.
There are two known Republicans — Paul Bolin and David FitzSimmons —
who will be seeking their party's endorsement for House 30B during a
Wright County convention planned for 9 a.m. Saturday, March 10, at The
Discovery School, 301 Second Ave. N.E. in Buffalo.
Early indications are that, depending which candidate wins the
endorsement, the less-preferred person may not be as eager to
volunteer for the winner later this year in the way most Republicans
joined in support of one in 2010.
Pre-convention talk
Bolin, of Otsego, took to Twitter the evening of Feb. 29 to bring up
legal issues from FitzSimmons' past, and Bolin followed up with a
press release – issued March 1 – noting he has openly shared
information on his own legal issues at his Website, www.PaulForMN.com.
"I am committed to running an open campaign," he stated in his press
release, "and I feel that delegates and voters should know who we are
if they are to entrust us with the mantle of leadership."
Directing a "tweet" at 9:41 p.m. Feb. 29 to Wright County Republicans
finance chair Eric Boone, Bolin referred to past traffic violations of
both Emmer and FitzSimmons.
Emmer has been convicted for driving while intoxicated. Bolin stated
in his press release, and Star News confirmed at
pa.courts.state.mn.us, that FitzSimmons, of Albertville, was convicted
of crossing a center line in 2010 but ordered to complete a DWI clinic
and sentenced to a year's probation.
Bolin admitted in his press release to two speeding violations and "a
petty traffic violation" during his teenage years.
FitzSimmons explained more of what he experienced in a call with Star
News. He said he was pulled over on a six-lane highway for suspicion
of DWI after crossing a white fog line with his vehicle. For that
charge, and because he "pushed too close to the limit" of .08,
FitzSimmons said, he did attend a one-day, six-hour DWI educational
program. Officially, though, his blood alcohol content at the time of
the stop was found to be below .08, and a prosecutor dropped a DWI
charge against FitzSimmons, he added, before the case reached a judge.
"I did my service for it," FitzSimmons said. "I definitely learned my
lesson, to never be anywhere close (to the limit). It's obviously not
worth the risk."
In a Feb. 29 response to Bolin's rehash of Emmer's DWI history, Boone
tweeted, "Emmer's was 20 years ago! You sound like a Democrat!"
Bolin tweeted back: "So expecting our leaders to follow the law is a
Democrat value. Wow. This is why we need to clean up the GOP."
Bolin has noted other issues with FitzSimmons, who has taken a leave
of absence from his role as Wright County party chair while seeking
the House endorsement, and Boone, who openly admits to supporting
FitzSimmons for the nod.
Bolin wrote in an email exchange with Star News: "What I … continue to
find somewhat disturbing is the fact that Eric Boone openly is
endorsing a candidate prior to the convention and writing it on
delegates' Facebook pages. As he is a part of the county GOP board who
is in charge of running a fair endorsement process, I find that to be
a conflict of interest."
Boone told the Star News that regardless of his feelings in the race,
he believes in fairness for all party supporters who wish to be
considered for the endorsement.
"That happens all the time," FitzSimmons said in response to Bolin's
concern over early contacts. "(Being on the board) doesn't prohibit
you from having your opinion and telling people who you want to
FitzSimmons says he is committed to working for Republicans in House
30B regardless how the delegates decide to vote March 10. He said that
early in the 2008 presidential race, he did not support U.S. Sen. John
McCain for the Republican nomination, yet once the Arizona senator
became the party's front-runner, affirmed during the national
convention held in St. Paul, FitzSimmons took the reins as McCain's
campaign chair in Wright County. "I worked every day, the best that I
could for John McCain," FitzSimmons said.
Boone said he looks forward to the district party conventions as
festive occasions. "The process is interesting," he said. He added
that he hopes all party supporters can enter and leave the March 10
event with a common goal of making sure all of Wright County will be
represented by Republican legislators in 2013, without party
in-fighting. "That's not what anybody wants," Boone said.

Google has begun allowing app makers to respond to user reviews in its app store, Google Play.
Over the summer, Google began testing the feature with "top developers," a hand-chosen group of vendors whom Google considers to make quality apps. The company today began opening up the feature to more developers and will eventually extend the privilege to all app makers.
"Conversations are meant to be two-sided, and facilitating discussion between developers and users will ultimately yield better apps, to the benefit of everyone," the company said in a June blog post announcing the initial launch of the feature. Google declined to provide further comment.
In November, Google began requiring users who leave app reviews in Google Play to do so using their Google+ ID, which the company's terms of service say should reflect the user's real name.
Using that information, Google is now notifying users via email when developers respond to their reviews. It is also giving users the opportunity to contact developers directly.
While Google's real-name policy is controversial, allowing businesses to respond to reviews is a practice other review platforms, including Yelp, have adopted to help mitigate the damage businesses might suffer from a negative review.

I do lot's of videos with FZ150. This should aplly to FZ200 also.
I have tried multiple settings including fully manual, messing with WB etc. and come to simple conclusions:
Outside with the good light I prefrere P mode.
Inside with the good to low light if you prefrer more "natural" darker video - use 'P' mode.
If light is bad you should be completely save with iA.
Is general iA works perfectly fine.
Just try and see what you like better
Thank's a lot for your tips. I will try them.
I usualy try and relly on trial&error "technique" but because of chronic lack of time these days I asked here for some pointers.
As iA is concerned I think that it is on on all shooting modes when you push dedicated movie button. Only when you set mode dial on Creative Video Mode it alowes you full potential for manual settings through PASM and High Speed.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) is thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to your body having less estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause. For many women, vaginal atrophy not only makes intercourse painful, but also leads to distressing urinary symptoms. Because of the interconnected nature of the vaginal and urinary symptoms of this condition, experts agree that a more accurate term for vaginal atrophy and its accompanying symptoms is "genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)." Simple, effective treatments for genitourinary syndrome of menopause — vaginal atrophy and its urinary symptoms — are available. Reduced estrogen levels result in changes to your body, but it doesn't mean you have to live with the discomfort of GSM.

Web attacks 'not electronic Pearl Harbor'
President Clinton has met computer and business leaders to explore ways of tightening internet security following a wave of crippling attacks on leading websites.
He sought to reassure public confidence in e-commerce by insisting that last week's online disruption did not amount to an "electronic Pearl Harbor".
But he said the attacks - which left sites such as Yahoo, eBay and CNN temporarily disabled by vast amounts of junk data - served as a timely wake-up call.
"It's a source of concern, but I don't think we should leave here with this vast sense of insecurity," he told the White House gathering.
"We ought to leave here with a sense of confidence that this is a challenge that was entirely predictable.
"It's part of the price of the success of the internet."
The White House hopes the gathering will lead to the forging of a new partnership between the private sector and government to share information and make the internet a safer place to do business.
The move follows the embarrassing disclosure that several banks sat on advance warnings of the sabotage campaign for several days, because they had been sworn to secrecy by a government-approved security scheme.
The US Government plans to spend $1.75bn this year on safeguarding its own internet infrastructure.
Warnings kept secret
On Tuesday, it emerged that several large US banks received detailed warnings about potential web sabotage before Yahoo became the first victim on 8 February - but delayed passing them on.
Banking officials kept the information to themselves because their companies were part of a government-sponsored scheme designed to promote the sharing of security information between banks.
Under the rules of the scheme, approved by the Treasury Department, information disclosed within the group of banks could not be turned over to the FBI or police.
The banks eventually issued an alert on 4 February - four days before Yahoo fell victim - when they began to see evidence that attacks had begun.
President Clinton said the banks should not be blamed, adding that the situation highlighted the need for closer co-operation.
"They were just better organised to engage in information sharing," he said.
"What we want is for every sector of the economy to be in the same shape."
The banks' initial warnings are said to have revealed that attack software had been discovered implanted on powerful computers nationwide.
The messages also identified the specific internet addresses of these "zombie" machines, which are believed to have been taken over by the saboteurs to launch the attacks.
Press reports say the FBI has identified three possible suspects in the US and Canada whom it wants to question about last week's sabotage.
The Washington Post said the bureau had linked online aliases such as "mafiaboy" and "Coolio" to real names and addresses.
A German hacker called Mixter is also said to have admitted creating the software allegedly used to overload the sites - but he has denied carrying out the assaults.

The awning of Cuzco Peru crows about it's Pollo a la Brasa, but in smaller letters in the lower right corner, it also says "Peruvian Cuisine." Take a look at the menu and sure enough, there it is, Papa a la Huancaina, Leche de Tigre, Ceviche, Anticuchos, Jalea, Parihuela, Lomo Saltado, Aguadito de Pollo. I've seen a number of online reviews and they all seem to focus on one aspect, they say that the chicken and the green sauce isn't as good as that at Pio Pio. It certainly isn't as highly seasoned, but it's still tender and tasty. More importantly though, the reviews miss the point. Someone here CAN COOK. So far, I've had the Leche de Tigre, Ceviche Mixto, Aguadito de Pollo and the Parihuela, and fellow doggies, I have to report that it's all good. Did it make my eyes roll heavenward? No, but it's good, tasty food at a reasonable price served by friendly folks.

Fallen Officer
On August 26, 1994, Officer Ryan responded to what appeared to be a routine "slumper" call - a complaint about a man sleeping in a car in a church parking lot on the east side of St. Paul. Even though he was nearing the end of his shift, Officer Ryan volunteered to take the call when the first officer at the scene had to leave for a higher priority call. Officer Ryan approached the vehicle and woke the sleeper, who then identified himself as Guy Harvey Baker. As Officer Ryan was returning to his patrol car to check the suspect's identification, Baker shot him from behind with a gun he had hidden underneath his coat. The suspect, who had a warrant for his arrest, then took Officer Ryan's gun and shot him several more times. Officer Ryan was rushed to a hospital but died of his wounds. The suspect fled the scene, triggering a massive manhunt as he was pursued by St. Paul police officers with their highly trained K-9 dogs. Among them was
Officer Timothy James Jones
who had the day off but volunteered to help search for Baker with his
K-9 partner, Laser
. Baker was hiding in an ice fishing shack and Laser picked up his scent. When Officer Jones and Laser approached the shack, Baker shot and killed Officer Jones with Officer Ryan's service weapon. He left the fish house and was attacked by Laser. He shot Laser four times and then took Officer Jones' service weapon. He doubled back on his direction and hid the Officers' weapons under the porch of a house. He hid underneath a pile of lumber and rubbish next to a porch two houses away where he was apprehended.
The deaths of Officers Ryan and Jones and his K9 partner Laser shook the community and the state. Lines surrounded the funeral homes during the wakes and both had to be extended by hours. Up to 1,500 squad cars participated in the funeral processions; in both cases, squads had not yet left the church when the lead cars were being parked at the cemetery. Children and families lined the routes with flags, buntings, and signs saying "We love you." For three days the community simply stopped as they mourned their loss.
Officer Ron Ryan Jr., Badge Number 313, was only 26 years of age when he came to the end of his watch. He had joined the St. Paul Police Department on July 23, 1990 as a Parking Enforcement Officer (PEO). His life's ambition was to follow in the footsteps of his father, Lt. Ron Ryan, Sr. It didn't take long for Ron Jr. to begin to make his mark. His tour of duty was one year and six months. Only five months earlier, he had been awarded the Medal of Merit for rescuing three children from a house fire. The following words are from his obituary:
"Within six months he had already received a letter from a citizen for his excellent work. In late 1992, he received a Class C Commendation as a PEO for trailing some burglary suspects until squads could arrive and effect the arrest. Such an award for a PEO is almost unheard of. He was appointed to police officer status on January 23, 1993. By the end of the year, barely out of training, he and a couple of his fellow officers received Class B Commendations for forming a human pyramid and saving several young children at a house fire. In the meantime, the letters and cards of appreciation from citizens and the Department just kept rolling in. For a young police officer, he was certainly making a mark early. These accomplishments aside, they really tell us very little about the man. To put it simply, Ron Ryan, Jr. was an exceptional young man. To be sure, as he was growing up he tested his parents, as all kids will do. But by the time Ron was ready to face the world on his own terms, he decided to make a difference. He became the quintessential son that any man would be proud to call his son. Whenever Ron Jr. was around, he lit up a room. He had a zest for life that infected those around him. He was always willing to help others and he truly enjoyed people of all ages. Ron gave more than he took and he reminded us all that life was worth living."
Officer Ryan was survived by his wife and parents.

Jointer planet combo return results from AWFS7/27
After 4 days of the the show checking out casadei, fielder, Scmi, I can't decide. I'm in the market for a combo because I have a 1400 sq. ft. Shop. We do 3-4 kitchens a year, vanities, media centers and built ins. Most of which are frameless. 12" planet jointer is fine for us ( yes 2 machines would be great but we don't have the space)
Spell check sucks apparently. Planet jointer open the pod doors.
I'd pay the extra 400 for the helical head in a minute. Well worth it for the figured woods. Just changed over our jointer and love it. Felder/Hammer makes good stuff.
I dont even think Casadei or SCM makes combo machines jointer/planers.
I'd opt for the Felder because of the cutter head. What is the difference in cost between the Hammer line and the normal Felder line?
$4200 plus $450 s/h plus tax for 12" hammer
wow, didn't realize there was so much difference between the standard Felder and the Hammer. Somewhere between China and German labor I'd guess.
I am wondering why you want to spend 6100.00 4200.00 for a 12" planer jointer combo. You can get a 12" Grizzly combo for 2595.00 I have used the spiral planer and jointer and they do an excellent job. you could by separate units from them with roller bases included for 3045.00 that is 8" jointer and 15" planer? just my two cents worth.
I have an A-3 hammer 16" planer/jointer. It works well but a little light for my shop. They didn't lead me down the wrong path I missed on my end. The silent head is a winner and worth every penny.
Thanks guys. I just don't want to spend $5000 and in 6 months realize I shoulda spent double and have a beefier machine.
you have a 1400 square foot shop, you are looking at 12" planer/ jointer, nothing in that says beefy. But what I told you is beefy if you go with seperates and roll the planer out of the way when not using it. plus it is 15" wide cut instead of 12 and is cast iron and heavy through out. I never like spending a lot extra for a name. Once you buy it is worth pennies on the dollar.
In my 1,000 s/f, we have 2 - 3' x 8' benches, Delta table saw, 18" Powermatic planer, 8" Delta Joiner, Powermatic tenoner, Maka mortiser, Powermatic mortiser, SCMI shaper, Delta shaper, CTD miter saw, 24x32 router table with feeder, 14" band saw, foot powered guillotine, lathe, drill press, air compressor and a 3 phase converter. The miter saw and router table are on wheels.
We work mostly solid wood, so the planer and joiner are prominent and would not work if we had to change over from one to the other.

That is a beautiful painting and looks perfect over your mantel. It's been a very expensive spring here too. The additional medical bills have certainly not helped at all.

What a gorgeous painting, Roxy. You could not have purchased the frame alone for that...so that was a good buy.
We have had months like that, too, where everything comes at once it seems. Hope you have a great rest of the week. xoDiana

I hear you about the expenses! I can't wait to see your dollhouse completed. My mother and grandfather built one together. She thought it would be a great project to get him back working after a mild stroke. She even bought a miniature lathe and turned the spindles for the porch and made all the furniture. Happy Spring my friend, XOXO

HI Roxy! I love the story behind your gorgeous framed roses picture! It is wonderful when the Lord provides those special pieces for our homes.
I'm sorry that so many things needed attention at your place this spring. I'm sure you are thankful that you can rest that they've been taken care of now though.
For us many things have come at once this past couple weeks. The Lord is good and everything is working out, but at times it seems very overwhelming. Truck broke down, septic stopped working, doing laundry in town, showers at the community centre, getting the garden in, bringing plants in and out so they don't freeze at night, daughter's grad photo shoot, and more. I have to smile, in it all, it brings us running back to the Lord who comforts and provides for it all.
Praying that you have a lovely day!

That means that all the fsync's done near checkpoint time are going to thrash your disks around. One thing you can do to improve that situation is push checkpoint_segments up to the maximum you can possibly stand. You could consider double or even quadruple what you're using right now, the recovery time after a crash will spike upwards a bunch though. That will minimize the number of checkpoints and reduce the average disk I/O they produce per unit of time, due to how they're spread out in 8.3. You might bump upwards checkpoint_completion_target to 0.9 in order to get some improvement without increasing recovery time as badly. Also, if you want to minimize total I/O, you might drop bgwriter_lru_maxpages to 0. That feature presumes you have some spare I/O capacity you use to prioritize lower latency, and it sounds like you don't. You get the lowest total I/O per transaction with the background writer turned off. You happened to catch me on a night where I was running some pgbench tests here, so I can give you something similar to compare against.

text:
In the Jan. 24 edition, Matthew Artz reported that Oakland city leaders reversed their plan to have William Bratton conduct several community meetings with Police Chief Howard Jordan to "engage and seek the community's support in reducing crime."
Instead, Bratton will be "limited to behind the scenes work." Officials changed their mind because a number of Bratton opponents intimidated and shouted down speakers who supported the former NYPD and LAPD police chief at recent city meetings.
Strategic Policy Partnership, the firm with which the city is contracting to consult on police reforms, has stressed that community involvement is an essential part of the evaluation process. Without that involvement, it is doubtful that any plan can be successfully implemented.
Bratton has a proven track record in reducing crime and has valuable strategies to share with Oakland citizens. The mayor and council members should not cower under the threat of disruptive actions. Bratton is no stranger to controversy and is willing to come to community meetings to address citizens' concerns. That is exactly what should happen.
Robert Wasserman, chairman of Strategic Policy Partnership, emphasized that one of Bratton's primary strengths lies in his ability to work well with citizenry. As chief of police in Los Angeles, Bratton won praise for his relations with minority communities. He dramatically reduced claims for police misconduct as well as crime.
Jordan has stated that Bratton's crime reduction plan will include a review of the city's crime-tracking technology and making recommendations for building trust with residents.
Oaklanders need to be able to ask Bratton tough questions, and if his answers make sense and are accepted, our city can finally begin to move forward in a meaningful, effective way.
If Oakland is ever going to beat crime, it is necessary to overcome the divisiveness that continually thwarts the implementation of a strategic crime-fighting plan.
The way to build consensus is by open debate; behind the scenes work will only fuel the suspicion that the police and city officials are underhanded and cannot be trusted. Maximum transparency during the formulation of city policy is a principle that must be honored, promoted and protected.
The 2006 Harnett report recommended a number of reforms regarding the Oakland Police Department, but it died on the shelf.
This time we all — residents, community leaders, city officials and elected representatives — need to be involved in making sure a plan that can succeed gets the exposure it needs to stay alive.
We cannot shrink before a vocal, narrow-minded minority. The council decided Bratton was valuable enough to hire; therefore his work is valuable enough for public discourse.
We commend Councilman Larry Reid for speaking up against "caving into the protesters."
Reid's fellow council members need more spine. Suppressing information is never the right answer. The right answer is to forcibly remove anyone at a public meeting whose behavior disrupts the free speech of others.
Gretchen White is president of the Metropolitan-Greater Oakland Democratic Club.

Really pleased with the Poggio 2.0
By runamuckchuck
from San Joaquin Valley, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about MEKK Bicycles Mekk Poggio 2.0 Road Bike:
I held off on commenting on this bike until I'd spent a few hours on my normal weekend routes and the local autumn Fondo. I rode in the 100k on the Mekk Poggio 2.0 and had a great ride. Beyond expectations as a matter of fact. I was still beat at the end but not "in the end" if you know what I mean.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fantastic Carbon Bike
By Noob Cyclist
from Seattle, Wa
This is my second Mekk Poggio 2.0. The first I received had a defective front shifter lever. Thats on Shimano. I did a warranty swap at my local bike shop and had them tune it as well. After the warranty swap I took the bike out and about a mile down the road I had a failed component. Could of been the chain or rear hanger. This damaged the bike pretty bad. At this point I was reluctant to keep this bike but decided that it was not any fault of Mekk. Nashbar customer service was great as usual and I decided to send that bike back for another. I have put about a 100 miles on this new Poggio without any hiccup. The bike is very light and responsive. The Tiagra group set shifts very smooth. Not to mention this bike looks amazing with the contoured frame. My local bike shop was amazed when I told them how much I paid for a MU monocoque carbon bike. The only complaint I would have is the provided seat leaves much to be desired. It is very uncomfortable. This will be my first upgrade. But at this price point thats not much to complain about. All in all, this is a great bike at an amazing price. get yourself a new seat and enjoy.
Great value

About Me Commuter
Had the Mekk 2.0 for about a month now. Rides wonderful and fits amazingly well. This bike smooths out the road amazingly well and I absolutely love the new bike. The brakes could be a little crisper and 28mm tires do not fit the front fork as advertised. They do fit in the rear however.
First ride so good
By Andy type
from Long Island, NY
About Me Avid Cyclist
The poggio is a well mannered bike when on the road. It is stiff and transmits power input efficiently, when set up correctly and all derailleurs are synced and dialed correctly. I am speaking from the first ride and some which allowed me to dial in on my correct and specific set up. My maiden ride was nearly 18 miles of high wind gusts and cross winds (20mph). Through it all the bike was responsive and it kept me smiling from how quickly the gears shift and how it got up and went by my slightest input. The frame leaves nothing to be desired since I was looking for a relaxed but racy geometry, the components on terror her hand can be upgraded as they degrade. But like most other sports equipment, it's not about the equipment it's about the end user's skills to use it.

Poor quality
By none
from Glens Falls ,NY
Out of the box.. deep gouge in the carbon frame. Nashbar made up for it with a discount. Okay. First ride ... not yet to 10 miles, the chain breaks, jams up the gears, locks up back wheel. That's on shimano I guess. although I never had a problem with them on my Specialized. Won't buy another MEKK
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent Value
By Huff
from Green, Ohio
See all my reviews
This is my first road bike within my price range. The components are great. It came all assembled (minus tires, seat, etc). It is very responsive, fast, light weight. The geometry is excellent. I had to make a few minor adjustments. I still have to make an adjustment on the derailer. It grinds slightly against the chain. Otherwise the Tiagra is very smooth, quick responsive shifting. No complaints for this price range. Excellent value as a beginner, entry level full carbon bike. I highly recommend this bike. Nashbar was excellent as always. I have received this bike within a few days of ordering. I wanted to upgrade from an aluminum. It is a HUGE difference. I saw some other review that also said that it better hitting bumps. I totally agree.

Awesome carbon bike at great price
By FLcruiser
from Orlando Metro Area
After going back and forth between three local bike shops for a decent aluminum bicycle, I started to read the reviews on Nashbar and Wiggle about Mekk bicycles. All of the reviews were favorable, with some minor issues that weren't a deterrent. I received the bike via UPS, opened it just to take a quick look, and handed it off to one of the local shops for final assembly. Upon picking the completed bike up, all the mechanics raved about how light the bike was, how it looked, and how it handled. The adding Shimano lipless pedals were a plus also. My first ride was 50 miles, and I immediately noticed how light, responsive and fast the bike was without checking the computer or phone. I didn't want to get off the bike!!! I didn't check all my gadgets or phone for speed, cadence, etc. which would have been a distraction on the first ride. Upon getting home, I checking the computer and phone, and I set all new speed and time records for one of my favorite routes. Again, I can not say how responsive and fast the bike is. Looking over the frame and components of the bike, they're pretty decent for someone looking for an entry level road or carbon bike. The Shimano Tiagra group set, along with some house branded components are expected at this price level. I can't say enough how much I love this bike, and recommend it to those looking for a road or carbon bike.

Great Frame and Solid Component Group
By Dave
from Minneapolis, MN
I looked into this MEKK company a bit having never heard of them, and seems it was just started a few years back by a couple English guys with large biking backgrounds. They're made in Taiwan, like just about every other bike (even most Treks), and the quality seems on par with others. They've managed to keep costs down and still get very good reviews, mostly from Europe where it appears they're sold widely.I generally ride the road bike in the 20-30 mile range a couple times per week, with an occasional 50 thrown in. This full carbon frame is such a great improvement over my last bike (aluminum with carbon stays/fork); the reduced road vibration is definitely noticeable. I find the frame geometry to be very comfortable. The sale price on this bike makes it a fantastic deal; Tiagra is a mid-level group of Shimano (below 105 and above Sora), and works well, particularly for the price. The wheels are also as expected, good enough...this rim, or something similar, is basically what's on most bikes from the $1000-$2500 or so range. I did swap out the seat with one I had on my old bike, so I can't comment on that.I managed to find a solid bargain on a new Ultegra groupset and upgraded all the mechanicals pretty quickly (again, nothing really wrong with what it came with, I just couldn't resist dropping a few oz). It's really a thing of beauty now. Love how it rides and would recommend to anyone.
