It was a rainy Wednesday morning when I chanced on this cute looking car (hatch) on the road. I dunno what kinda car it is. I dunno which car maker line it belongs to.
It doesn't look like a Toyota or a Honda or a Ford to me.
A Mitsubishi perhaps? A Nissan? I dunno.
Maybe you know what kinda car this is?
Its front looks so chic.
Its rear looks like that of a bikini model.
Maybe this is one of those cars from China?
I wonder how much this baby is. This could be my perfect first car. Well, I already got to buy one last 2009, but, that was a van. And it's for our entire family. I kinda want something that I could call my own. "My own." Drama much! CHOZ!
I want one. Teehee! A pink one!
♥ Mwah! ♥

SOURCE: New Jersey Community Bank
November 25, 2015 15:51 ET
FREEHOLD, NJ--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2015) - New Jersey Community Bank (OTCQB: NJCB) (the "Bank") reported a net loss of $481 thousand, or ($0.25) per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to earnings of $12 thousand, or $0.01 per common share in the third quarter of 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, the Bank reported net loss of $568 thousand, or ($0.30) per common share compared with net income of $54 thousand, or $0.03 per common share for the same period in the prior year. The Bank's results for the first nine months and the third quarter 2015 were negatively impacted by $695 thousand in provision for loan and lease losses recorded in the third quarter 2015 related to the resolution of troubled loans originated prior to the change in senior management in 2015.
The results were further negatively impacted by a decline in interest income on loans as a result of a decrease in total loans, coupled with a decline in fee income on deposit accounts. Net interest margin continues to be pressured, declining 53 basis points year over year primarily due to a decline in yield on earning assets resulting from the reduction in interest income on loans.
Management's focus remains on reducing certain commercial real estate loan concentrations while attempting to grow other segments of the loan portfolio, primarily commercial and industrial loans. Improving asset quality and credit metrics remains management's primary job. While management works on enhancements to the Bank's infrastructure, including strengthening and making more efficient credit administration and the Bank's online banking capability, to produce a better experience for our customers, management also continues to seek out additional efficiencies within the Bank's operations to manage operating expenses.
Balance Sheet Summary
At September 30, 2015, total assets were $126.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million from December 31, 2014. Total cash and cash equivalents and due from banks-time deposits increased $11.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to year end 2014, primarily as a result of loan payoffs and increase in total deposits. Total investment securities increased $1.3 million from year-end 2014, as management tries to seek avenues to improve interest income while utilizing excess liquidity. Total loans receivable decreased $9.0 million compared to year end 2014, reflecting principal payoffs exceeding new loan originations, as the Bank continues to focus on resolving existing credit issues.
Total deposits increased $4.7 million compared to the levels at year end 2014. Non-interest bearing deposits accounted for 98% of this increase, or $4.6 million, while savings, NOW and money market deposits combined increased $1.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a $0.9 million decline in total time deposits resulting from maturing time deposits which were not renewed.
Shareholders' equity totaled $14.0 million at September 30, 2015, decreasing $474 thousand, from year-end 2014 due to the reported net loss. The Bank's capital ratios remain strong and exceed the regulatory requirements to be deemed a well-capitalized financial institution.
The Bank has been carrying a Deferred Tax Asset ("DTA") on its balance sheet in the amount of $1.5 million. DTAs are recorded on the books for non-cash expenses that are not currently deductible for tax purposes but are future deductions for future income returns when the expense is actually paid. The largest component of the DTA relates to federal and state net operating loss carry forwards ("NOL"). These NOLs are allowed to be carried forward for future income tax returns for 20 years expiring in 2034, if not fully utilized.
US GAAP Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, requires the Bank to evaluate its net DTAs on at least an annual basis to ensure that the asset is recorded at its net realizable value. If evidence exists which questions the realizability of this net DTA prior to its expiration, then the Bank must record a valuation allowance. Management is currently evaluating all the evidence, including viable tax planning strategies, to determine whether such valuation allowance is needed. If management concludes, given the evidence, the realizability of the DTA is doubtful, based on that it will be required to record a valuation allowance prior to year-end 2015.
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, net interest income totaled $901 thousand, decreasing $208 thousand over the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net interest income was a direct result of declining average loan receivables which impacted the interest income on loans. Net interest margin decreased 53 basis points to 3.00% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, over the comparable quarter in 2014. Average yield on earning assets was 3.72%, decreasing 60 basis points over the prior year and average rate on paying liabilities was 0.86%, a moderate decline over the comparable quarter in the prior year.
The Bank recorded $695 thousand in provision for loan and lease losses during the third quarter 2015 primarily as a result of a loan write-off coupled with additional reserves required for certain existing problem credits. Compared to the third quarter 2014, the provision for loan loss increased $665 thousand. The allowance for loan loss at period-end was $2.0 million, or 2.58% of total loans. Asset quality continues to be monitored and management estimates the current level of allowance for loan loss to be adequate.
Non-interest income totaled $88 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a moderate decrease compared with the same quarter in the prior year resulting from decreased levels of fees and service charges on deposit accounts.
Non-interest expense totaled $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $44 thousand from the year-ago same quarter. For the year, non-interest expense increased $216 thousand compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in non-interest expense was directly related to the reversal of $500 thousand in a litigation expense recorded in the second quarter of 2014 related to a judgment entered and expensed in 2013 that was subsequently settled at a cost lower than the accrued expense. Had it not been for this one-time adjustment to the operating expenses in 2014, non-interest expenses would have decreased $284 thousand or 8%, year over year.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased $74 thousand due to a reduction in executive level compensation. Data processing costs decreased $24 thousand quarter over quarter as a result of onetime expenses associated with the installation of a new core processing system in 2014. Professional and other fees increased $47 thousand, in part due to consulting services utilized by the Bank to comply with the Consent Order among the Bank, the FDIC and the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance. All other operating expenses combined increased moderately.

Proposed Rule
Document Details
Published Document
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard proposes to change the regulation governing the Stillwater Highway Drawbridge, across the St. Croix River at Mile 23.4, at Stillwater, Minnesota. The drawbridge need not open for river traffic and may remain in the closed-to-navigation position from midnight, October 14, 2005 until midnight, March 15, 2006. This proposed rule would allow time to perform maintenance/repairs to the bridge.
Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or before December 6, 2004.
You may mail comments and related material to Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, 1222 Spruce Street, St. Louis, MO 63103-2832. Commander (obr) maintains the public docket for this rulemaking. Comments and material received from the public, as well as documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket, will become part of this docket and will be available for inspection or copying at room 2.107f in the Robert A. Young Federal Building, Eighth Coast Guard District, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.Start Further Info
Mr. Roger K. Wiebusch, Bridge Administrator, (314) 539-3900, extension 2378.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Request for Comments
We encourage you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting comments and related material. If you do so, please include your name and address, identify the docket number for this rulemaking (CGD08-04-036), indicate the specific section of this document to which each comment applies, and give the reason for each comment. Please submit all comments and related material in an unbound format, no larger than 81/2 by 11 inches, suitable for copying. If you would like to know they reached us, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard or envelope. We will consider all comments and material received during the comment period. We may change this proposed rule in view of them.
Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public meeting. But you may submit a request for a meeting by writing to the Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, at the address under ADDRESSES explaining why one would be beneficial. If we determine that one would aid this rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
On September 13, 2004, the Minnesota Department of Transportation requested a temporary change to the operation of the Stillwater Highway Drawbridge across the St. Croix River, Mile 23.4 at Stillwater, Minnesota to allow the drawbridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position for 152 consecutive days for critical repairs and maintenance. Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial and recreational watercraft and will not be significantly impacted due to the reduced navigation in winter months. Presently, the draw opens from October 16 until May 14 with 24 hours advance notice for passage of river traffic. The Minnesota Department of Transportation requested the drawbridge be permitted to remain closed-to-navigation from midnight, October 14, 2005 until midnight, March 15, 2006.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a "significant regulatory action" under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not "significant" under the Start Printed Page 64554regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The Coast Guard expects that this temporary change to operation of the Stillwater Highway Drawbridge will have minimal economic impact on traffic operating on the St. Croix River. This temporary change has been written in such a manner as to allow for minimal interruption of the drawbridge's regular operation.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term "small entities" comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
This proposed rule will not have a negligible impact on vessel traffic. The primary users of the St. Croix River in Stillwater, Minnesota, are commercial and recreational vessel operators. With the onset of winter conditions most activity on the St. Croix River is curtailed and there are few, if any, significant navigation demands for opening the drawspan.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what degree this rule would economically affect it.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they could better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please contact Mr. Roger K. Wiebusch, Bridge Administrator, Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, at (314) 539-3900, extension 2378.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not affect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and does not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a "significant energy action" under that order because it is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, from further environmental documentation. Paragraph 32(e) excludes the promulgation of operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges from the environmental documentation requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Since this proposed regulation Start Printed Page 64555would alter the normal operating conditions of the drawbridge, it falls within this exclusion. A "Categorical Exclusion Determination" is available in the docket for inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.Start List of Subjects
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117
- Bridges
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR part 117 as follows:Start Part
1. The authority citation for part 117 continues to read as follows:
2. From midnight, October 14, 2005, until midnight March 15, 2006, in § 117.667 suspend paragraph (b) and add a new paragraph (d) to read as follows:
(d) The Stillwater Highway Drawbridge, Mile 23.4, St. Croix River, at Stillwater, need not open for river traffic and may be maintained in the closed-to-navigation position.
Dated: October 8, 2004.
J.W. Stark,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.

Is our society in the midst of doom? Are we approaching a World War III? Many hypothesize about these questions, even to believe they can prove it, after all there is the impression that the things we are experiencing today are unprecedented and the worst ever. It is easy to get caught up in the mindset of doom, even I have been guilty of this before. Our world might be heading towards a very negative scenario, or perhaps after any large negative event, there is always a positive event or events that succeed it. I would like to think that even if we are heading for the worse, there will be a time of positivity, therefore I don't think it is wrong to look at the things that seem to be worrying because if those things ever touch us directly or indirectly then we wouldn't be too shocked when they do. Besides, these things do happen in the word, turning a blind eye to them makes you a passive player, some like the term "sheeple," to explain the a state of complete apathy.
Human slavery is fine and well, thank you
The U.S. government made history by passing their constitution's 13th Amendment in January 31, 1865, creating ripples around the globe, until more 83 years later the United Nations' article 4, establishing a Declaration of Human Rights, making it loud and clear that slavery and slave trade worldwide to be banned by member countries. Unfortunately, we still find ourselves in a rather precarious situation when it comes to slavery, according the non-profit organization Free The Slaves, the number of slaves today rages between 21-36 million. This is the highest number of slaves per capita. Slavery is broken down into three tiers: Labour Slavery, which represents 78%; Sex Slavery is about 22%; and Child Slavery, which is 26% of total slaves. The buying and selling of human beings have become a valuable and profitable business, moving billions of dollars in the black market economy, many claim the money flows through the veins of the most powerful individuals seating in the upper echelons of power. Of course, unless more is known and corruption lessens, there is little hope for this reality to cease.
About the number of illnesses that afflict us
I think one important question to ask is: Is it normal to be sick? Young or old, we all seem to be a target of at least one type of illness, whether major or "manageable." Is it true, however, that life expectancy is rising across the board. The 60 retiring cap is being challenge with older workers even changing careering around retirement so they can continue to work. The worrying issue here therefore is not more people are dying as a result of illness, but rather more people seem to be sick now than ever, and yes, even for those who are sick, science seems to have found a way to manage that illness with a treatment. This is the case with illnesses like diabetes, nowadays even HIV/AIDS. A new study reveals that actually 95% of the world's population is ill. The 2013 Global Burden of Disease Study has found that a third of those are afflicted by chronic or acute illnesses, where lower back pain and depression have been accounted for. The study shows that people are living longer, yes but we are experiencing more illnesses.
Many many active wars and human casualties

Suicides left and right
According to the non-profit organization Suicide.org, over one million people die by suicide each year worldwide, the global suicide rate is 16 per 100,000 population. On average, one person dies of suicide evert 40 seconds somewhere in the world. Suicide rates only for 1.8% of worldwide deaths. Although the numbers might not sound too bad overall, specially when compared to deaths due to wars or disease, global suicide rates have been in the increase by 60% in the past 45 years. One interesting factor to note when looking at countries with the highest suicide rates is the factors for suicice, but among those countries with the densest populations right now, namely India and China seating at 22 deaths per 100,000 people. Japan is also an interesting case, last year alone, more than 25,000 people took their lives in this small island of a population of 128 million, although Japan is currently among one of the most developed nations in the world, it seems there is a lot of financial pressure by their elderly to immolate themselves in order to provide for those they love. Aside from the elderly, it is actually the young who make up for the most of the suicides. Currently suicide is the single biggest killer of men in Japan ages 20-44. The biggest reason being, people are losing hope and are incapable of seeking help. Some findings point to the precarious employment practices and short-term contracts. In addition to this dilema, technology might be making things worse for young people who take on hikkimori or a type of acute social withdrawal.
The practice of "shutting onself" is a worrying trend in Japan and it seems to be spilling over in other countries too. The frustrations arise as unemployment becomes a reality and the pressures of society to become a successful individual drive the young to shut themselves in their rooms for years, playing video games and watching movies, or being a virtual citizen.
Access to education is still not a given to everyone
As of 2013, the global adult literacy rate was 84%, meaning that about 775 million people can't read or write and even more telling is that 152 million children are at risk of following on the foot steps of the grown ups, due the fact they too won't have the means to attend an educational institution. Unfortunately there is a divide between the number of males versus females who happen to be the most affected. Malala Yousafzai made the headlines and has ever since been the face to make education a human right. This is of course in contrast to Mark Zuckerberg's plight to the U.N. to make internet connectivity a human right, of course Mr. Zuckerberg has a vested interest for everyone to have an internet connection because having an internet connection means the potential for larger user base for his company Facebook. The issue still stands that as the world population continuities to grow, world conflicts continue to disrupt societies and push families into precarious living conditions. A lot has been said as education as being the solution for a lot of problems, but in reality, it is really not without the need to change our ways this trend will continue. Having touched on the number of active wars above, it is hard not to imagine that as wars continue to worsen, more countries immerse themselves in civil unrest, bringing down structures of our society that enable an educational system. Without peace in a country there cannot be a real concern about educational access for children, when children themselves are trying to make the day. A similar issue is when a country is placated with issues of survival when poverty is severe children are dying of hunger. If these issues are not first addressed, it is not enough to make education a human right.
Our environment is just dying
I am not an environmentalist, in that I don't agree or support the type of activism organizations like Greenpeace like to take part of us. I find that type of "care" for the environment to be cult-like, call it environmental extremism, another organization that takes things to the extreme is PETA, sometimes it seems like they care more for the animals than humans. To be an extremist about the environment if one thing, the truth that the situation of environment is worrying is true. Although, there are those who can argue Darwin's Theory of Evolution would explain that if species are dying, this is simply fulfilling the idea that we live in a world where "survival of the fittest" is a rule. In this sense, we (humans) are the fittest and we seem to pollute and destroy our ecosystem, one we shared with other living beings. This includes, the rainforests, oceans, deserts and pretty much anywhere our consumption demands might have become a part of. Recently, the U.S. government has basically obtained fossil fuel liberation by producing enough fuel to not depend on Saudi Arabia, this is possible due to the process of named fracking, or the use of high-end explosives, filled with chemicals and water to cause gases inside the deepst cores so they can become fuel. In the last couple of years, many parts of the United States, and now the word, have become exposed to large amount of pollutants, killing humans, animals and plants that touch it. So, as if deforestation, overfishing, CO2 pollution and [insert the environmental issue here], we have things to worry about in this department.
Religious extremism is at its highest since the dark ages
The very regrettable incident of the burning of the library of Alexandria, during the last stages of the great Egyptian empire was indeed the type of religious fantoms we read about in history books, perhaps with some degree of amazement. Amaze no further, as the type of religious fanatism very much alive and well, 2,298 years later the Islamic State (IS) has been culprit of destroying so much more than those Christian fanatics did. IS has destroyed a lot of mosques, churches and shrines, but perhaps what hurts us the most of the number of ancient and medieval sites, part of the human cultural heritage, much of which became part of the IS control territory, some of these include artifacts and sites that date back from 612 BC as many belong to the currently conflicted Syrian and Iraqi territory. Perhaps what makes IS' fanatic destruction of valuable cultural world heritage is the way they take pride on having the power and impunity to film and make the carnage available for the world to see. Of course, we know that the descructuin of cultural history is just one of the few things that makes IS one of the most fanatic dangerous groups of people. Unlike the Nazis, IS likes to identify with the teachings of the Qur'an and align themselves are being just workers of the will of God.

Below are some of the reasons why using a USB flash drive either for studies, work or personal purposes is extremely beneficial:
- Durability- Usually, those hard drives inside our desktop computers and laptop computers are big and most of the time, made of hazardous materials which can even emit radiation. Those bulky hard disk drives can be easily damaged if dropped accidentally. A flash drive of today has basically no moving parts inside it and to some, it's considered as a miniaturized solid-state drive which makes less defenceless to damage that can be caused by drops or shocks.
- Portability- While you can still carry around an external hard drive and connect it from one PC to another, nothing beats the portability a flash drive can give to its users. Nowadays, you can easily slip your trusty USB drive into your pocket without anyone noticing it. And, you can even attach it to your key chain which makes it easier to carry around. Some USB flash drives are bigger than the conventional ones but still small enough to be carried by your hand. And since they are both durable and portable, USB flash drives are just one of those things you can easily carry around on a daily basis.
- Capacity- One of the best benefits of using USB flash drives in today's world, despite the emergence of SD cards, is the capacity a flash drive can carry in terms of file sizes. Believe it or not, some of the manufacturers of these tiny drives have upped their game, extending the memory capacity of some of their flash drives to a whopping 1 Terabyte. That's already the memory capacity of a typical desktop computer today.
- Speed- It's frustrating that when you are transferring or opening a file from a PC to another drive, the transfer speed in terribly slow. With the emergence of the USB 3.0, the transfer speed is now up to 4.8 gigabytes for second. And this is something that even the newest SD memory cards cannot match. So, transferring a movie that is worth 500+megabytes in size can now take 5 to 7 minutes with USB 3.0-powered drive.

Back when I endured sweaty bicycle rides in South Florida's oppressive summers, I dreamed of a shady haven where I could bike for miles and miles under leafy canopies.
Well, I found it: Withlacoochee Trail, a 46-mile ribbon of paved trail that is the longest rails-to-trails path in Florida.
Since I moved to Tampa 4 1/2 years ago, I have used the Withlacoochee Trail as my summer bicycle haven. About an hour north of Tampa, and an hour west of Orlando, it attracts thousands of cyclists, runners, bird-watchers, in-line skaters.
The bicycle crowd enjoys the mostly flat path that begins in Trilby off U.S. 301 in north Pasco County and ends 46 miles to the north near Dunnellon in Citrus County. The Withlacoochee Trail Ride fundraiser drew more than 1,600 cyclists last October.
It was a literal parade of non-motorized transportation, ranging from lightning-fast carbon race bikes to low-profile recumbents to antique single-gear bikes that brake when you pedal backward.
"We run into bikers from all over the world on that ride," said Steve Stackhouse, the Withlacoochee Trail manager. "We have some people with $5,000 bikes made out of carbon, and people with bikes that are 35 years old, and people towing their kids."
The trail's signature feature is its famed tree canopy, which shuts out the sun and offers a shady tunnel for long stretches. One of the prettiest segments is a stretch of several miles through the Withlacoochee State Forest, with its oaks and pines.
While the trail's southern terminus is off U.S. 301 six miles north of Dade City, most cyclists from the south pick up the path off State Road 50, about three miles east of Interstate 75. The Ridge Manor trailhead and parking lot are six miles north of the trail's southernmost point. It's a safe parking lot with a bathroom and lots of space.

We'll tell you right up front -- this is going to be one of those "capsule reviews." A game like Movie Trivia Rave doesn't require a textbook full of detailed information -- either you like movie trivia or you don't. If you're not the least bit interested in placing quotes with movies or picking the correct actor for a role, then don't even bother.
However, if you consider yourself something of a pop culture buff, then this minor distraction may be a worthy download. Our biggest complaint is that there doesn't seem to be all that many questions. After only a few games, we got a few doubles. Oh well. Handsets do have limited space, after all. But it's not like the game really need a bunch of memory for looks. It's pretty plain jane.
We did appreciate the game's attempt at a two-player experience. The game throws out the same questions, and you hand the phone back and forth to answer them. The player with the highest points? The weiner. Er, winner.

The Prawns:
300 grams Prawns, Shells removed and devained
2 teaspoons Butter
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Salt and pepper for seasoning
1 Pinch Red Chili Flakes
Lemon juice, to taste
The Tart:
400 grams Ready-Rolled Puff pastry, (1 Packet)
300 grams Cocktail tomatoes, Sliced
1 tablespoon Caviar, Optional
The Cream:
1 cup Cream Cheese
1/3 cup Sour Cream
Zest of 1 lime, Finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon Wasabi paste, (More if you want more heat)
1 tablespoon Garlic chives, Finely chopped
2 teaspoons Fresh coriander, Finely chopped
Salt and pepper for seasoning
1. The Tart Base: Pre-heat your oven to 200℃. Dust a work surface with flour and carefully roll out the pastry into a rectangle of 20-by-25 cm. With a sharp knife, score the pastry all the way round, about 1 cm from the edge. This will form a raised edge when the pastry is cooked. With a fork, poke the middle of the pastry all over. This will ensure that the middle does not rise to the same height as the edges. Transfer the pastry onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown. This should take about 20-25 minutes. When the pastry is cooked, transfer it onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
2. The Prawns: Add the butter and oil to a pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the prawns, chili flakes and lemon juice. Cook the prawns until just done. Remove the prawns and drain on kitchen paper. Set aside till needed.
3. The Cream: Add all ingredients, except the herbs, to a mixing bowl. Whisk until the cream is smooth. Taste for seasoning and heat and adjust as needed. Add the chopped herbs and stir until everything is well combined.
4. To Assemble the Tart: Spoon the cream onto the cooked pastry base and spread evenly using an off-set spatula. Arrange the prawns and sliced tomatoes onto the cream. Garnish with more chopped fresh herbs. Spoon over the caviar (if using). Slice the tart and serve with a fresh green salad.

We recently settled a workers' comp case for computer technician and professional working in Washington, D.C. named E.P. Here's what he had to say about the process.
Donahoe Kearney: Tell us about what you were doing before you were injured?
E.P.: I was working as a computer technician, working under contract with one of the top three-letter agenceis. I think how I injured my shoulder was part of the problem. I was hauling a bunch of heavy equipment and they didn't provide carts. We would carry the computer equipment freehand. Equipment includes heavy monitors, laptops, printer equipment, basic computer equipment etc. We were responsible for installing cables, dealing with network issues; mostly land cables.
Donahoe Kearney: What were the best parts? The worst parts?
E.P.: I liked the experience; learning how to understand the network systems and the technology. I also iked to move around; I was assigned to several different locations. The part I didn't like was I had to figure out how to get there with most of the locations being in DC. I had to take a commuter bus. It could take an hour and a half or more to get to work.
Donahoe Kearney: So what happened exactly when you got injured?
E.P. I was injured at work. I was trying to go under a desk and move it, but it was too heavy. At first I didn't feel anything, Didn't feel anything but later I started feeling pain and stiffness in my shoulder. I took aspirin when I got home but when I woke up in the morning my shoulder was completely sore and stiff. Turns out, I tore the cartilege in my shoulder.
Donahoe Kearney: Yikes. Tell me about your experience going through the workers' comp system. Do you have any advice offer a person with a new claim?
E.P.: If you get injured on the job, get a lawyer right away. Some people who have never gone through the system don't know that they are not being represented by the insurance company and their case workers. The insurance company does not look out for your interests.
I didn't know anything about workers' comp; it was the first time I've ever been injured period, let alone injured at work. I thought that when they assigned a nurse to me that she was my advocate. Slowly but surely I got the feeling that wasn't the case; she didn't represent me and she wasn't looking out for me. After they told me I needed a second surgery I had to constantly try and track her down and get information. I never had up-to-date information. After the second surgery I said "this is it. I need to find some representation." That's when I started asking around with friends and everything. My sister-in-law's husband had a lawyer who referred me to Mr. Kearney. I looked him up and called him up.
At first the nurse was telling me I don't need the surgery and the doctor was saying something else, because of the tear. I read stuff that said "regardless, you should have a lawyer whenever you're in workers' comp." I didn't have any idea that I was going to win any type of monetary settlement. I was basically calling just to make sure that I was being treated well. I never got the feeling from the claims adjuster or the nurse case manager that they were on my side.
The second surgery ended up having to be done because of the "frozen shoulder;" because it wasn't moved around after the first surgery. They had sent me back to work and I could feel pain all through my arm and shoulder; even when I raised my hand and I said "this can't be right." I was trying to talk to them and they told me not to worry, that it would go away. I worked for about three weeks and then I said something is not right. I started talking with Mr. Kearney just before the second surgery.
Donaohe Kearney: How is your life now different than it was before you got injured? What are some of the adaptations you have had to make?
E.P.: It's never the same. I can always feel something there, but not as painful as it was. Now my work is different: I'm mostly sitting, troubleshooting routers and switches Basically I'm monitoring the wide area network now and global networks in the WAN system, as well as devices. I like it pretty good; it's more hours than they said and you have to go to night shift every three months. They changed the contract after I was hired. But it's a better position. My job now is mostly seated, monitoring.
Donahoe Kearney: Tell me about settling your case, and what your future looks like.
E.P.: I really don't have a lot of retirement money and so I put it in the savings account. The settlement increased our savings.
Donahoe Kearney: Thanks, E.P. for telling us your story. Best of luck to you!

Hello, i would like to know if the TubeAmp could developed to something bigger in the near future. i downloaded it right now and tested it and was a bis disappointed as it only creates 3rd harmonics (if am right) what is not very comon for a tube (more for a tapemachine). So as i know that Aleksey is a VERY good coder i wonder if he could make a real professional TubeAmp/Drive Emulation as i know he is a guy with big potential on such things!
and for the meantime, what Tube Simulation Plugins do you guys tend to use? I found Antares Tube to be very nice but its only creating a very few 3rd harmonics what in my opinion sounds not so good. On the other hand there is 3rd Ear Audio Tubewarmth (someone remember it?) what realy creates the same spectrum as my external real tube amps, but does no tube-limiting like Antares one does. Also the next question, what Tape emulation plugs do you use? i am still stuck with Magneto what i realy learned loving over the years. but tell me your opinions:)
And maybe we can see a new Palette of HQ Analog Emulation plugins from Voxengo some time?:) Like starting with the TubeAmp then making a Tapemachine simulation and maybe an Pultec EQ (or sometin with more parameters but same algo) after it? i realy think you Aleksey are the best coder for that, cause if you sell sometin it realy holds what it promises, not like most other companies. and you are interested in analog emulation too as i see CurveEQ. so i realy would wonder what you say about that.
Have a Nice Day and keep on GREAT WORK!!
Hi Aleksey, nice to hear you are interested in that stuff. Of course i have time to play some testtones trough my tubeamp. And i guess others here would do it as well for a good emulation plugin. altough there are alot of resources (www.google.com) on the net describing what the tube is doing. Drop me a mail to email@example.com with a link to the testtones and what i should do, i have small mailbox only, so best you put them up somewhere on your website. Or maybe you put the link here in this public thread, so other guys with Tube / Tape equipment can do it as well and you have a better base to work with.
Have a nice day and thanks for interest in this!!
hi aleksey, just wanted to ask if there will be a new version of lampthruster in the near future?

According to the latest Joint National Listenership Survey, published Thursday, February 8th, 2018 (Ipsos MRBI JNLR: 12 months to December 31st, 2017), over 3 million people - 83% of the population - choose radio daily. #Choose Radio.
For the 3rd consecutive survey, Kfm has recorded major increases in Yesterday Listened, Weekly Reach and Market Share, consolidating its position as the leading station broadcasting in, and into, County Kildare.
Kfm is:
- 9% ahead of our nearest national competitor in Yesterday Listened;
- 13.4% ahead in Market Share (length of time listening)
- 11% ahead in Weekly Reach.
- Kfm added 5,000 more listeners per day (*daily reach) – extending Kfm's lead as the leading station on a daily basis – way ahead of all national, regional and local stations, including RTE Radio 1, 2FM, Today FM, Newstalk and all others broadcasting into county Kildare.
- Kfm increased our Market Share i.e. the length of time listeners spend listening every day – the key factor for advertisers - by 3%: reinforcing Kfm's lead, now 13+% as the most listened-to radio station across the whole day, every day, in county Kildare.
- Kfm increased our Weekly Reach. Kfm now has 85,000 listeners per week (over the age of 15) within county Kildare (*weekly reach): way ahead of every other radio station - national and regional - broadcasting into the county.
That's official, and massive, assurance for Kfm advertisers, that their marketing message reaches more people in county Kildare through Kfm than through any other media outlet in the county.
Kfm – Kildare's No. 1 Radio Station – and, that's OFFICIAL!

Taking architectural possibilities isn't unusual within the houses we function on this website, however this spacious home on Oak Cross in Beverly Hills is probably one of the artistic – and most lovely. Except for its stark and classy trendy decisions, the home is constructed with an the wrong way up program. As an alternative of ascending to the homes' personal areas, bedrooms are hidden within the hillside and coated with a roof that grows edible herbs. This Walker Workshop house is probably not the Beverly Hills opulence that you'd anticipate, nevertheless it has its personal model of spectacular.
The home is located on three.5 acres, overlooking Oak Move. The home itself measures 8000 sq. ft (743 sq. meters), although its hidden design makes it seem smaller. The property is residence to greater than one hundred thirty oak timber, which have been an integral a part of designing the house. Not solely did the architect and householders need a area that would simply look out upon this spectacular personal forest, however they needed an exterior that itself didn't draw consideration away from the gorgeous pure environment.
As an example, an infinity pool on the bottom degree rests simply beneath a big oak. Maybe not the right design for the pool filter, the aesthetics are really superb. A dip on this pool is an expensive model of a backhills swimming gap, full with trendy concrete deck and classy deck chairs.
The underground portion of the house incorporates the bedrooms in addition to an inside courtyard that opens as much as the sky above and a sunken outside firepit for the balmy California nights.
To reap the benefits of the west coast sunshine, outsized home windows slide open to the recent canyon air, a lot nicely filtered by the encompassing copse of timber. The outside, in concrete and modern wooden, is extremely trendy and but manages to all however disappear into the hillside.

(An alternative for the method based on the control by means of "PENETRATION EQUIPMENT")
In this leaflet we present a measuring system for the strength of unfired ceramic materials and in
particular pressed tiles.
This technology was developed by the technical ceramics department of the University of Valencia and by the Research Association of the Ceramic Industry in Castellon, Spain.
It is a better alternative for the measuring system for the strength of unfired ceramic material by means of penetration equipment, as the indicated values are not subjective and cannot be influenced by the operator: they are real values as they are based on the measuring of the apparent bulk density.
It is known that the porosity of unfired ceramic pieces, which depends on the type of granules, the grain size and the grain size distribution, the proportion plastic material / defatteners and on the parameters of the pressing action, i.e. pressure, humidity of the powder to be pressed, etc., is a physical property of great importance as it influences the physical properties of the unfired (mechanical resistance) and the fired piece (shrinkage, porosity, mechanical resistance, etc.).
By analyzing the faults that occur most frequently in the manufacture of ceramic floor and wall tiles, it was found that many of these originate from or are influenced by the porosity of the unfired material (black "heart", a low mechanical resistance, calibre) or by the uneven distribution of the porosity.
From the above, it will be clear that it is necessary to determine the exact value of the porosity during the production process. This can be done by measuring the density or strength and the volume of the pores.
To enable an effective control of the strength, it is necessary:
a) to have adeguate testing techniques available with regard to speed of execution of the test.
b) to determine the maximum period between a fluctuation in the porosity of the unfired material and its distribution over the interior of the pieces, which is still permissible during the process and which consequently does not bring about significant changes in the quality of the finished product.
c) to know the entire production process in detail so that, whatever the deviation in the strength of the unfired piece beyond the preset limits, it can be corrected quickly by adapting the parameters of the process (pressure, humidity) and, in case this would not be possible, adjust the firing in order to reduce the effects of this variation in strength.
The most exact testing methods to determine the density in a dry way are based on measuring the volume of the samples (volume of the pores + the real volume of the solid) by displacement of the volume of mercury or by the force which is required to immerse the sample in mercury.
The method of the displacement of the volume of mercury as described by "Stringer" has been partly modified, in order to make it more convenient without changing its accuracy and reliability.
How to proceed:
- Put a container containing 2 kg mercury on an electronic balance;
- Weigh the sample to be analyzed;
- Immerse the sample (making sure that it does not touch the wall of the container) by means of the "COMPACT PRESS" (the sample should be immersed until the mercury reaches the level indication on the immersion system);
- By immersing the sample in the mercury, one exerts a force which is visible on the display of the balance;
At this point in time, the volume and the density can be calculated according to the following formulas:
where: W= weight of the sample (gr.)
W3= weight of the sample immersed in the mercury (gr.)
d= density of the mercury (gr/cc.)
OPTIONAL: Balance

Using Notational Velocity
One of my favorite Mac programs is Notational Velocity. I do a lot of writing with it – everything from meeting notes, to jotting down ideas, to creating reference files and running lists, even occasionally to write up longer-form content like blog posts or research (though I tend to use TextMate for most long-form writing).
Notational Velocity (or the fork I use, nvALT) follows the One Thing Well philosophy:
- It's lightweight.
- It allows you to just write no frills text.
- Text is saved automatically.
- Text can be found very simply through the built-in progressive search.
The entire system makes it very easy to focus on writing. You don't need to click "New File" or anything else – simply type in the new file you'd like to create and hit Return and you're ready to go. You never have to use the mouse, even; just hit Cmd-L and your cursor is placed in the location bar. Type in your file, press Return, and start writing.
My Setup
My setup is pretty simple. Here a few things I've done with my setup:
- Under Preferences, I've set up Notational Velocity to store everything as plain text files. Plain text, after all, is the most portable, the most searchable, the most light weight medium for your writing. I can work on my writing on my laptop, or access the files on my phone if I need to.
- I use to have the system synchronize with Simplenote, but I've turned this feature off recently. Instead, I have all of my notes synchronized to Dropbox. Everything is backed up and with me where ever I have an internet connection.
Now here comes the geeky side of things. My system is very similar to the system used by Merlin Mann:
- All of my notes are appended with, for lack of a better word, "tags" that I use to group items together and reference things quickly. For example, my blog post brainstorms or drafts are prefixed with "blogx" followed by a potential post title and finally I use a TextExpander snippet to insert the full date and time (for example, a Notational line for this post might look like "blogx jahx Using Notational Velocity 2011-07-22_23-05-06"). Like Merlin, I use the "x" at the end of my prefixes to quickly find things. I want to see all my blog material? I type "blogx". I want a list of my running lists? I search for "runx". Some of these are narrowed down: blogx is usually followed by "jahx" (my initials, a post meant for this site) or "tcx" (a blog post for Tumblr).
- For frequently used items I use Merlin Mann's "q trick". If I have a file I reference frequently or want to locate quickly, I follow it with a number of q's, starting with at least two and usually going up to five. For example, I have a file called "TODAY agenda [qqqqq]" that I store my "most important things" to-do list in of things I want to accomplish that day. It's faster to type multiple q's rather than start searching for the individual file.
- I may draft up ideas for blog posts or research projects in Notational Velocity, but I normally do most of my writing in TextMate. I like the feel of TextMate, and it also just does One Thing Well.
- There's nothing that doesn't go into Notational Velocity. I currently have around 270 text files in Notational Velocity, sometimes nothing more than a single line of text. I frequently dump often-used snippets into Notational and are titled with a "refx" prefix (like an HTML snippet or command line function like the one I use to convert markdown to PDF; if used often enough these become snippets in TextExpander).
The point of all this crazy taxonomy is to allow me to not have to think very hard about what I'm after. I want to find what I'm looking for immediately, without having to waste a lot of time searching the back of my brain with the half-remembered thought. Nor do I want to always fire up a browser and search for what I'm looking for. If I've found a method that works and that requires a reference or running list or whatever, it goes into Notational for future reference.
The additional advantage to this system is it isn't tied to a specific computer platform. If I left the Mac operating system for Linux, for example, I still have all of my plaintext files that I can easily still write in or search through the command line or an equivalent program in Linux. I also like having everything with me in Dropbox where ever I'm at. If I'm waiting at a doctor's appointment, standing in line at the store, or just killing some time, I can pull up my files and find something to work on or scratch out an idea.
Finally, everything is written in Markdown. Whether I'm working in Notational Velocity, Epistle, TextMate, or Scrivener, Markdown is my preferred plain text writing syntax.
