At an event dominated by a man who was admittedly very skinny, another man, more famous for his imposing physique, threatened to take just a bit of the buzz himself.
While Apple CEO Steve Jobs stood on stage and talked about the importance of organ donation, actor and model Tyrese Gibson stood in a corner of the room, hunched over his laptop, almost unnoticed as he tried to boot up the world's first "digital comic book."
"It's called Mayhem," he said, clicking furiously, as if on the verge of a breakthrough. And then, there it was. Right there on the front page of iTunes. Mayhem, Number One. Tyrese got silent, and just stared. What must it be like, even if you're already famous, to get that center slot on iTunes? I asked. "It's cool," Tyrese said, quietly. Then, quickly, "Look, here it is: Steve Jobs is the genius of all geniuses, as we all know. Having him back, and working with him, is the greatest."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Kind of refreshing. A guy, known more for his abs than his apps, taking a moment away from his own glory to remember why we were there. But when we moved on to Mayhem, things got even more impressive. A digital comic book is a good way to describe it. The best comic book artists (Mike Le, Tone Rodriguez, and others) helped Tyrese and his Apple crew, Tyrese himself provided the ongoing voice-overs, and the action moves quickly, click by click. Or, on your iPhone, touch by touch.
"Mayhem" is noirish, has a happy ending, and yes, even contains a mention of abdominals. But if you've seen Tyrese (and, by the way, everyone seems to use the first name, so I will too, I guess) in movies like "Transformers" and "Four Brothers," you can see why people who passed him by at the Apple event assumed he was just there as eye candy. He's a handsome guy. But he's also talented and creative, a good match for Apple's iTunes, which is making a big move into new content.
He's taking his newest craft very seriously, and Apple seems ready to go along for the ride. Don't hate him because he's beautiful. Just download, and read, his comic book.

Liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, who previously linked Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman to the attempted killing of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, completely ignored the shooting of a security guard at the conservative Family Research Council (FRC).
By Matthews' own past statements, wouldn't an examination of the possible root causes of the FRC shooting be warranted? On January 10, 2011, Matthews said of the Giffords attack: "Sarah Palin using gun play language. What is she talking about crosshairs and reloading...and Bachmann out there with her kind of talk." He hinted, "Why are guns talked about so much, especially on the right? Why?"
On June 10, 2009, Joan Walsh, one of Matthews' favorite guests, linked Rush Limbaugh to the Holocaust Museum shooting. She slimed:
There is a very disturbing and disturbed element of political discourse. And I would, I would throw in Rush Limbaugh. Not blaming him, but when you say that our President is more dangerous than al-Qaeda you've gone off into crazy nut job land. You are off the charts crazy. And you are, you are whipping people up.
On Wednesday, Fox News reported of the FRC attack:
The suspect "made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard," a source told Fox News. WJLA-TV7 reported the suspect was also shot. Sources also said the gunman may have been carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A, the embattled fast-food restaurant whose president came under fire from gay activists after he said he did not agree with same-sex marriage.
Sources told Fox New that after guard took away his gun, the suspect said, "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for."
It's sadly not surprising that Matthews, who often likes to jump to conclusions and link conservatives to acts of violence, had no interest in covering an attempted slaughter at a conservative organization.
On Wednesday's show, however, Matthews made sure to highlight comments by Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher that illegal Mexicans should be be shot after a fence is built on the southern border. Worrying about "terrible things" being said, Matthews fretted about possible violence: "Just kill 'em. Is that funny? Is that overstatement or do they actually mean it?"

Teams Bring Out Inner Zen as Sioux Falls Advances Past Canton
Positive energy seemed to permeate the Sanford Pentagon as the Sioux Falls Skyforce used a fantastic fourth quarter to gain a 105-98 victory over the Canton Charge Monday night. Phil Jackson, basketball's Zen Master would have been proud.
There wasn't exactly a perfect peace between these two teams, but the decider did have less edge than the previous two. A crowd 2,534 strong at the Sanford Pentagon cheered early game rebounds by the home team. Even the Charge used some warm up time before the National Anthem to stage a dunk contest. The vitriol present during the first two games of this series was trapped below the surface, as hustle, effort and desire filled the vacuum. Skyforce guard Tre Kelley explains that the attitude change was by design. "As a basketball player we always use emotion, but it was more positive tonight because the game was vital. Whatever we blurted out, we wanted it to support what we were trying to do tonight."
Canton's rebounding advantage and Sioux Falls' turnover capabilities have been duly noted in this series. Both teams closed the gap in the finale as Canton made only 21 miscues and Sioux Falls minus 11 on the boards. A little more study helped Kelley and the 'Force grab a few more misses. "We watched some film and we saw that a lot of the rebounds they got resulted from not getting a body on some of those guys. (Arinze Onuaku) is as big and strong as they come, but even as guards we can get into his legs a little. The athletic guys were flying up there trying to get as many rebounds as they could. We just stayed with it."
That dogged determination served Sioux Falls well as Canton held the lead for a good portion of the first three quarters. When the last stanza arrived, the Skyforce brought the clamps and Canton surrendered some open shots. Hard-fought home court advantage might have contributed to a 15-2 run that turned a 10 point Canton lead over to Sioux Falls with 7:55 left. Overall in the fourth quarter, Sioux Falls outscored (35-20), outshot (69-29 percent) and outrebounded the Charge (12-9). Tre Kelley scored 9 of his game high 26 in the final frame and DeAndre Liggins tallied 8 of his 19 counters along with 2 of his 5 steals in crunch time. Kelley also got his share of thievery plus take a look at the "squat three" in the highlights.
Canton finishes a fine season that included recognition for a fine first half. The Charge coaching staff got to lead one of the D-League All Star squads as a reward for having the 2nd best record in the loop prior to the All-Star game (Rio Grande Valley was 1st). A slight swoon in March and early April knocked Canton down to 7th place in the standings, but no other team wanted a piece of the Charge in a first round playoff matchup. Will Cherry capped a fine homestretch with the team with 21 points plus 12 assists and 5th year mainstay Antoine Agudio netted 21 as well. The aforementioned Onuaku provided 12 points and 14 boards for his second double-double of the series.
Sioux Falls faces top-seeded Fort Wayne in round two. Game 1 is Thursday night in Sioux Falls with Games 2 and 3 if necessary on the Mad Ants home court.

Pearce http://hdl.handle.net/1974/5287 2020-01-16T05:52:53Z A Review of Solar Photovoltaic Levelized Cost of Electricity http://hdl.handle.net/1974/6879 A Review of Solar Photovoltaic Levelized Cost of Electricity Branker, K.; Pathak, M. J.M.; Pearce, Joshua M. As the solar photovoltaic (PV) matures, the economic feasibility of PV projects are increasingly being evaluated using the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) generation in order to be compared to other electricity generation technologies. Unfortunately, there is lack of clarity of reporting assumptions, justifications and degree of completeness in LCOE calculations, which produces widely varying and contradictory results. This paper reviews the methodology of properly calculating the LCOE for solar PV, correcting the misconceptions made in the assumptions found throughout the literature. Then a template is provided for better reporting of LCOE results for PV needed to influence policy mandates or make invest decisions. A numerical example is provided with variable ranges to test sensitivity, allowing for conclusions to be drawn on the most important variables. Grid parity is considered when the LCOE of solar PV is comparable with grid electrical prices of conventional technologies and is the industry target for cost-effectiveness. Given the state of the art in the technology and favorable financing terms it is clear that PV has already obtained grid parity in specific locations and as installed costs continue to decline, grid electricity prices continue to escalate, and industry experience increases, PV will become an increasingly economically advantageous source of electricity over expanding geographical regions. Additional information and worksheets can be found on the project page here: http://www.appropedia.org/Review_of_Solar_Levelized_Cost 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Viability of Small-Scale Arsenic-Contaminated Water Purification Technologies for Sustainable Development in Pakistan http://hdl.handle.net/1974/6828 Viability of Small-Scale Arsenic-Contaminated Water Purification Technologies for Sustainable Development in Pakistan Hashmi, Fatima; Pearce, Joshua M. Drinking arsenic-contaminated water leads to a series of health problems that has limited development for the largely poor rural people of Pakistan who are unable to afford bottled water, centralized treatment plants, or expensive water filter systems. This paper reviews the available appropriate technologies for the removal of arsenic in drinking water to assist in just sustainable development in Pakistan. Several technologies were found to be both technically- and economically- viable and support the large-scale deployment of these small-scale, appropriate technologies. The economic viability determined in this study was based on both first costs and operating costs. The cost of implementing such technologies for an individual Pakistani family is made acceptable with the use of local materials, which the family may already own. For example, systems using sand and iron nails in the filters, and which are placed in plastic buckets that are already in common use in the villages, drive down the overall costs of the technology and put it in the reach of even the most destitute. This study found that complications from the variability of local supplies result in the need to identify the locally most appropriate solution from both a technical and economic standpoint. This review article should be helpful for any practitioner in determining the locally optimal solution for the removal of arsenic from drinking water in Pakistan. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Environmental and Economic Assessment of a Greenhouse Waste Heat Exchange http://hdl.handle.net/1974/6575 Environmental and Economic Assessment of a Greenhouse Waste Heat Exchange Andrews, Robert; Pearce, Joshua M. As the economic costs of energy and the negative externalities associated with the combustion of fossil fuels threaten the economic viability of greenhouses in northern climates there is a renewed interest in the use of waste heat. This paper presents a technical and economic methodology to determine the viability of establishing waste heat greenhouses using the waste heat from industrial processes in northern climates. A case study is presented of an exchange between a tomato greenhouse and a flat glass manufacturing plant, which found the waste heat system is significantly more economic to operate than a purely natural gas system. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Dispatch Strategy and Model for Hybrid Photovoltaic and Combined Heating, Cooling, and Power Systems http://hdl.handle.net/1974/6439 Dispatch Strategy and Model for Hybrid Photovoltaic and Combined Heating, Cooling, and Power Systems Nosrat, Amir; Pearce, Joshua M. The advent of small scale combined heat and power (CHP) systems has provided the opportunity for in-house power backup of residential-scale photovoltaic (PV) arrays. These hybrid systems enjoy a symbiotic relationship between components, but have large thermal energy wastes when operated to provide 100% of the electric load. In a novel hybrid system is proposed here of PV-trigeneration. In order to reduce waste from excess heat, an absorption chiller has been proposed to utilize the CHP-produced thermal energy for cooling of PV-CHP system. This complexity has brought forth entirely new levels of system dynamics and interaction that require numerical simulation in order to optimize system design. This paper introduces a dispatch strategy for such a system that accounts for electric, domestic hot water, space heating, and space cooling load categories. The dispatch strategy was simulated for a typical home in Vancouver and the results indicate an improvement in performance of over 50% available when a PV-CHP system also accounts for cooling. The dispatch strategy and simulation are to be used as a foundation for an optimization algorithm of such systems. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z

You guys asked for it, so here it is. A cartoon style tutorial on "how to draw Hawkeye, or Jeremy Renner", step by step. Jeremy Renner is on his way to becoming a very noticeable actor. Despite the fact that he has played in a numerous amount of movies, he made his debut appearance in the film Senior Trip back in 1995. After that Jeremy Renner went onto doing other films like S.W.A.T, Hurt locker, The Town, Dahmer, 28 Weeks later, as well as others that I will not list at this time because it would take too long. Besides from staring as Hawkeye in The Avengers, you can also see him in the new Mission Impossible movie. Anyways I think I nailed it as far as turning Jeremy into a cartoon figure. He is becoming one of my favorite actors and I think it's because of his personality on screen. I hope you enjoy this version of drawing Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner. I will return with some more fun loving lessons soon enough. Adios people and enjoy!

Swiss tennis star Roger Federer will be sitting out the Rio Olympics and the rest of the 2016 season.
Federer, 34, announced his decision Tuesday on Facebook, citing a knee injury and a long road to recovery.
"Considering all options after consulting with my doctors and my team, I have made the very difficult decision to call an end to my 2016 season as I need more extensive rehabilitation following my knee surgery earlier this year," Federer wrote.
U.S. & World
He said doctors instructed him to rest and heal if he wants to continue playing without further injury. Federer underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in February.
"It is tough to miss the rest of the year. However, the silver lining is that this experience has made me realize how lucky I have been throughout my career with very few injuries," Federer said, adding that he plans to return "strong, healthy and in shape to play attacking tennis in 2017."
Regarded as one of the best players in the history of tennis, Federer has won a record 17 Grand Slam titles and was ranked No. 1 in the world for years.
He fell awkwardly during the Wimbledon semifinals earlier this month, which he lost to Canada's Milos Raonic. Federer, who hasn't played since, said at the time he was unsure how seriously he had been hurt.

John Mayer is suing a friend of Charlie Sheen's after he reportedly sold him several fake Rolex watches for $5 million.
The 36-year-old singer -- who collects watches -- claims in his lawsuit that he met watch dealer Robert Maron in 2007 and told him he was looking for a rare Rolex for his collection. At the time, Maron sold Mayer a number of watches which seemed to be original, but in 2010, when the "Gravity" singer sent one of the timepieces to the manufacturer for repair, he was told that "the watch was not authentic in all respects."
Mayer then confronted Maron, who admitted that Rolex was right and gave the singer a refund for the "isolated event" of having sold him a fake watch.
Later in 2011, Mayer learned that seven of the watches he bought from Maron were fake. The singer claims he paid $656,000 for the counterfeit pieces and that other watches he purchased from Maron were originals.
Maron's lawyer told TMZ that Mayer's lawsuit was "legally and factually merit-less."
"John Mayer, who briefly claimed expertise in Rolexes but now has apparently changed his mind, has brought a lawsuit that is legally and factually meritless," attorney Eric George said. "Mr. Maron refuses to pay Mr. Mayer a cent to settle his frivolous claim, and will instead defeat him in court."
Maron and Sheen know each other because the latter also collects watches. The two eventually became close friends and Maron even became the actor's manager at one point.

Exercises in frustration
So I got into this BRD group and I had my shadow spec active. As soon as I got inside I told everyone to give me a minute until I can buff everyone, change specs and drink some mana. Apparently no one was listening and they started moving forward. I repeated my request. They pulled a bunch of mobs while I was changing my spec and drinking mana. Because they didn't give a shit, I didn't either and of course they all died. I was far enough that I didn't get any aggro.
The tank made a remark about what a shitty healer I am and I explained that I asked them to wait and they didn't listen. We proceeded onward and killed stuff successfully for about 10 minutes during which I gave them ample proof as to how good a healer I am. Then, without a word, the tank and one dps dropped group. And that was it.
This isn't really the first time that stuff like this happens. Many people don't realize that a healer needs to be ready and if he's out of mana, it's game over.
Considering all this and also the fact that classic dungeons are long, tedious and often crappy affairs, I've decided to give up healing until I hit level 60 and Outland. I will continue to run dungeons but as shadow dps only. It so happens that I love shadow and I would like more chances to act as dps in dungeons. This way there won't be undue pressure on me. In Outland, dungeons are more streamlined and to-the-point and also drops are of much higher quality.
So see y'all in Outland!

Hell yeah..after soloing the classic dungeons with my hunter, I decided that there was no way I would want to do them with groups. They take wayyyyy too long. I don't even want to hit the random button with my level 64 mage, just in case it set me up with one of the older dungeons. I'll happily run Hellfire ramparts over and over to build my Thrallmar rep instead.

Yeah, I had an entertaining Halls of Lightning run this morning with a similar problem.
The Healer needed to drink, but the Tank kept pushing on. Add to that the Tank wasn't holding aggro very well and we had a Boomkin in the group, things got really messy. A big old fight broke out about who should drop the group while I grabbed some coffee and waited for this to settle out. Eventually the Healer left, was replaced by a well overgeared healer, and we managed to get through the run without a wipe.

I've come to a similar conclusion about the pre-Outland instances as well. When Dungeon Finder came out, it was a lot of fun to run those old world instances for the first time. Then it got old super fast once I compared them to Outland and Northrend instances. The old world instances take forever, are confusing, and a lot of the players are still learning their classes at that time. As such, fights often break out and the fun evaporates for me.
So I've limited my time in LFG between levels 25 - 59. I still drop into them but won't spend a lot of time trying to get into one. Even as DPS, I'm still impacted by Healer/Tank fights that plague those levels. And besides, I don't want to spend 2-3 hrs in a dungeon like BRD or Wailing Caverns! About one hour is good enough for me and those Old World instances can be much longer than that.

I just had a very satisfying run today on my priest, as shadow dps. Funny thing is that I waited less than 2 minutes to get in a group. I'm 56 now... a few more levels and I can hit Outland. Good riddance Old World! Although I wouldn't mind running the big classics Strat and Scholo as dps.
And BTW, shadow priests are da shit*!!!

You're not making me feel any better by deciding to go back and tinker around with leveling my Shadow Priest (currently 25).

@frogi not at all. I thoroughly enjoyed leveling my shadow priest but at level 50 it gets even better thanks to Vampiric Touch.
But then again, I had 5 heirlooms on my priest starting at level 15 and on the staff I had +30 spell power so it helped a lot.

Since mid-May, President Obama and his campaign have been attacking Mitt Romney for "shipping U.S. jobs overseas." They've suggested he made false filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. And they've hit him for having "Swiss bank accounts and offshore investment funds in the Caymans." Before considering their political impact, let's review each of these charges.
The first allegation—that Mr. Romney "shipped jobs to China and Mexico"—was called "misleading, unfair and untrue" by the Washington Post fact checker and labeled "bunk" in an editorial. The Annenberg Center's FactCheck.org said it "found no evidence to support the claim that Romney...shipped American jobs overseas." Neither has anyone else. But Mr. Obama has not backed down, with his campaign spending more than $30 million to run TV ads on the subject for nearly three months.
The second charge—with its implied suggestion that perhaps Mr. Romney should be in jail rather than running for president—came in a July 12 conference call. Mr. Obama's deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, accused Mr. Romney of "misrepresenting his position at Bain" to the SEC, "which is a felony."
Three days later Mr. Obama doubled down on the incendiary charge during an interview on WAVY-TV in Portsmouth, Va. He personally attacked Mr. Romney for saying he left Bain's leadership in 1999 while, during the subsequent three years he spent running the Olympics, signing "an SEC listing that says he was the CEO, chairman, and president of the company." What the president didn't say was that this is a customary practice for CEOs who take a leave of absence from their firms. This is precisely the reason that FactCheck.org found the president's charge misleading while the Washington Post said the "facts essentially exonerate Romney."
Consider another high-profile CEO: In January 2009, Steve Jobs took a leave from Apple for health reasons. But like Mr. Romney, Jobs later signed SEC documents listing him as CEO, even though he'd relinquished day-to-day control of the company to Apple's chief operating officer. Maybe a reporter should ask Mr. Obama if he believes Jobs was a felon.
Then there are the attacks on Mr. Romney's foreign investments. Democrats fling around words like "tax haven," "offshore account" and "secretive investments." But according to their annual financial disclosures, a number of West Wing staffers are wealthy and have foreign holdings.
They have bonds from around the globe. Through international mutual funds, they own stock in holding companies in tax havens like the Caymans, Bermuda, Guernsey, Curacao and the Isle of Man.
There's nothing wrong with any of this. But if Mr. Obama excoriates Mr. Romney for foreign investments, then why doesn't he cleanse his own West Wing staff of millionaire foreign investors?
Have the president's attacks worked? When the Obama campaign launched its Bain attack on May 15, the race was tied at 45% in Gallup's tracking. As of Tuesday, Gallup had it virtually unchanged: Mr. Obama 47%, Mr. Romney 45%.
Still, they have had an effect. The Romney campaign's response—which included whiny demands that the president apologize for his attacks—has unsettled GOP activists, causing them to wonder how prepared Mr. Romney and his team are for the mudfest they've entered. The attacks have drawn attention to the Obama campaign's demands that Mr. Romney release more years of tax returns. And they've allowed Mr. Obama to avoid talking about the continually bad economic news—the lousy June jobs numbers, last Friday's drop in consumer confidence, Tuesday's drop in retail sales and more.
The danger for Mr. Romney is that if these charges go unrefuted, they could discourage swing voters from going for him this fall when they decide whom to support. Therefore, Mr. Romney should challenge Mr. Obama directly—as he did effectively on Tuesday and Wednesday—but in a way that makes the Republican bigger and more presidential than the incumbent.
This is his opportunity to remind voters—in a tone of disappointment and regret, not anger and malice—that Mr. Obama's negative attacks will not put anyone back to work, reduce our growing national debt, or get America moving in the right direction. The attacks are more than just "misleading, unfair and untrue." They are proof Mr. Obama isn't up to the job and no longer worthy of the nation's confidence

This has to be one of the most repulsive sights I've ever seen. They call them bugnadoes, gigantic vortexes of flying bugs that are invading the Missouri's riverine land every day at dusk. Creepy? It gets worse:
The first night I saw them swarms of dragonflies were around, flying through them eating them.
So, imagine that: a tornado made of bugs and more swarms of bigger bugs eating them while all of them invade the countryside air at night. The bugs are "smoking out of tree tops, ditches and cornfields" because of the recent Missouri river's floods.
The guy who filmed it doesn't think they are mosquitoes.
While mosquitoes were nailing me at the time, I don't think these are mosquito swarms. Something else, I think anyway.
My whole body is itching now. [Thanks Karl!]

Thousands without Power in Sioux Falls Due to Ice Storm
SIOUX FALLS – A strong spring storm has made travel hazardous in much of South Dakota, shutting down schools, delaying some local elections and hampering construction projects.
Over 10,000 residents are without power due to a combination of wind and ice on power lines.
According to Jim Clarke of Excel Energy 30 crews, some from as far away as Minneapolis, are working to restore power. However, Clarke says it could take a couple days to restore power to all residents.
The National Weather Service has issued various storm advisories, watches and warnings for the state. Forecasters say the storm moving across the Rocky Mountains and Greats Plains packs up to 20 inches of snow, sleet, freezing rain and strong winds.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency issued a statement urging travelers to be cautious. South Dakota Transportation official Greg Fuller says spring storms aren't unusual, but they can be dangerous.
The storm comes a day after heavy snow created bad travel conditions in southwest North Dakota, leading to numerous accidents. An oil tanker crashed near South Heart and spilled what authorities called a minimal amount of oil.

Officials will make available a 'reminder list' of original score submissions along with a nominations ballot to all members of the music branch.
Members will vote in the order of their preference for a maximum of five scores. The five submissions with the highest number of votes will become nominations.
To be eligible, the original score must be "a substantial body of music that serves as original dramatic underscoring, and must be written specifically for the motion picture by the submitting composer."
Scores are rendered ineligible if they are "diluted by the use of tracked themes or other preexisting music, diminished in impact by the predominant use of songs, or assembled from the music of more than one composer".
For the full list of score submissions visit the official website. The nominations will be announced on Jan 10 and the 85th Annual Academy Awards will take place on Feb 24.

New Democratic majority in Colorado Senate results in staff shake-up
Democrats are still in charge of the Colorado Senate, but not everyone who was working for the Senate Majority office will get to stay after the elections.
Incoming Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, on Monday terminated John Cevette, who had served as chief of staff to Morse's predecessor, President Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, and replaced Cevette with Kjersten Forseth, a public relations consultant and political strategist who also has worked as the executive director of the liberal attack group ProgressNow Colorado and as a union organizer. Forseth also ran one of Morse's prior Senate campaigns.
But Morse also sacked the Senate Majority's communications director, Eddie Stern, a former journalist who's run campaigns for U.S. Rep. John Salazar and state Sen. Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass. And Morse let go four other Senate Majority staffers.
Morse, though, kept staffer Jessica Bralish to work in his office. He said he anticipated filling the vacant jobs soon.
It's not uncommon for such sweeps when the new leader of a chamber takes office. Prior Senate presidents, including Shaffer, also had such staff house cleanings, and these kinds of shake-ups have occurred with both parties and in both chambers.
"As is normal when there is a change of administrations, there was also a change of administration staffing," Morse said.

Adjusting to that strange new world called FLORIDA is quite the thing ya'll. First off, it's not hot here. Yes, I'm sure the natives would beg to differ but having lived through many a Texas summer, this stuff is not a big deal. The folks back home say the temps are hovering around 105 degrees and positively sweltering. Here in my new place, I'm loving the more moderate stuff. Of course it's humid. Oh dear LORD! Now that's something new but there are definite benefits to that. My hair and skin looks a whole lot better these days. And rainy season? Um. A few weeks ago my daughter and I were shopping for groceries when a thunderstorm hit. Our eyes got big. I mean big. RAIN!!!! Now that's something to celebrate in West Texas so I'm sure the folks at the store wondered why we seemed so damn happy about the deluge of wet stuff. With Tropical Storm Debbie hovering around, we've pretty much been drenched every day and even had to break down and buy umbrellas. Who'd a thunk it????
Settling in good and proper now. We've found the best places for breakfast, lunch and dinner and now where to find the best shopping. What more could a girl ask for? And friends? Yes, I've made a lot of those too. Nice thing, friends. I'm beginning to feel right at home. Hard to believe I've only been here a month.
Now that the settling in has been accomplished and most of my furniture has arrived, I've found the creative energies are beginning to flow again. Getting a divorce and moving clear across the country can have a way of stalling a person out, for sure. But YAY ME...stories are forming and needing to be told. I'm beginning to feel like my "new self"...the old one was pretty fine but this new me is pretty awesome, I think. I'm feeling braver, more sure of myself and yes, more creative. It's a good thing.
When forty-five-year-old widow Tess Garrity decides it's time to reevaluate her stale life, she rents a charming cabin in the mountains, little expecting her entire life is about to take a drastic turn. She's very drawn and more than a little sexually turned on by the sinfully handsome man next door.
Daniel Rios is captivated by the stunning older woman. She is sweet, funny and sexy enough to make him yearn to fuck her. He wants her more than his next breath but his first order of business is getting rid of an unwanted houseguest. Then Daniel moves in on Tess, tempting her to take another chance on love — with him. It's a naughty, edgy, seductive challenge he is fully prepared to take.

Hi David,
Wow lots to look over. You have been working hard on this I can see, since we last were in contact. What progress you have made. And yikes that was a tough one. One piece at a time until you got it. I can't get precise idea of Alexander's birthdate in Scotland from the census records. Somewhere between 1803 and 1810 looks like, possibly in Mull, Argyll looks like now. Perhaps he had a brother named Angus.
Sure sounds like the right family. Alexander and Catharine Livingston. All children mentioned in that list in the book except a daughter Flora and a son Donald that I noticed. But quite easy when it is second hand info published in that book for the author to have missed a few children of Alexander and Catharine's from a large family like they had. All the rest in the book list seem to match the names in the 1851 and 1861 Census records in Quebec. Great that found what looks like a connection between that Angus and your Alexander.
That Mull information I think is new to me and not surprising as the vast majority of highland Livingstons whom who have contacted the forum whose ancestors settled in Canada seem to be connected to Livingston families from Mull or neighbouring Morvern, where my Livingston ancestors came from. In terms of the DNA project, although I am the Clan Historian, I have encouraged quite a significant number of persons of Livingston ancestry to participate in the DNA project having established a good deal of familiarity with the history of Livingstons the Mull and surrounding Western Argyll area of Scotland and familiarity with the DNA results with particularly with Western Argyllshire LIvingstons.
If your original source is correct then it is quite possible that the elder Archibald and his son Alexander born in the early 1800's have family origins apparently in Mull. And with those Quebec neighbours being McLeans and McPhees they are quite common to 18th and 19th century Mull and rest Cameron and McGillverary common to neighbouring Morvern and probably Mull. McVicar throughout Argyll some in Southern Argyllshire. So Archibald's neighbours very likely from Western Argyllshire I would assume. Like I say it seems quite often the Canadian Livingstons I worked with on the forum over the years have had an Mull Argyll Livingston ancestry. The 37 marker test is a good starting point or I would suggest the 67 marker test just to get a good sense of your closest match results with other LIvingstons in the DNA project who have done the 67 marker test which most Livingston of Mull ancestry have. Most of Livingstons of Mull ancestral origin and other parts of Western Argyll have done the 67 marker test and you can always upgrade to the 111 marker test later on for more precise matching of your results with other Livingstons whom you are determined to be a match with at 67 markers tested. So yes if you have info that your family originated in Mull then I really think the Y Chromosome Test offered by familytreedna for 67 markers is the way to go. While some Livingstons of Mull ancestry are not certain where their ancestors lived at Mull, others do have some info and I have started to try an actually draw a rough map of where some of their ancestors and other Livingston families lived at Mull in the 1700's and early 1800's. We have made a lot of progress with our Mull Livingston family research and the DNA project via familytreedna has proven to be a major help in learning just how closely related these Mull and Morvern Livingstons and Livingstons from other parishes in Western Argyll are to one another. There is one other Livingston DNA match group who have a Mull, Argyll connection who have also done the familytreedna test, so it is possible you could be a match with them as well. With either group if you are of Mull ancestry or of some there Argyllshire ancestry which you seem to be from what you told me about the Mull info and the fact that your ancestors neighbours are almost certainly of Argyllshire origin one way or another there is very good chance of a match with others in one of these Livingston DNA groups.
Here is some information from familytreedna regarding their Y Chromosome test options and the cost:
Again nice work Dave finding that apparent lead on likely Mull ancestry of Archibald Sr. and his son Alexander and his son Archibald. Lucky break for you that your Livingstone family in Quebec was mentioned and that you happened to stumble across that old book. Your are the only Livingston who settled originally in Quebec that has contacted the forum. We've had lots from Nova Scotia origin, some of PEI origin, some of Ontario origin and some of Manitoba origin. Your the first with a Quebec connection, although your Livngstons later ended up in Ontario.
Over the years having done my own Livingstone family research and that of other familes I am related to I am sometimes amazed at what rare documents. old family photos are sometimes discovered. I am just sorry to say that less than two years after Father passed away a distant cousin put an old civil war era documented photo of my Great-great-great grandfather that had been in this old distant cousin's familes possessions for about 150 years. I knew of this cousin from another cousin I was working with on family history about 20 years ago, but had no idea that this other family knew about this picture and had it for years but kept in an unopened shoebox for years. Anyways I was so scared I would spill coffee on it after it arrived in the mail I placed the old 1860's carte de visite photo of my elderly ancestor who was born in the 1780's and died in 1871 safely in an airtight glass frame. I don't have a photo of my Livingstone great-great-great grandfather unfortunately but I do have a photo that was given me of his youngest son and his eldest daughter who was my ancestor. Many other rare old photographs, books maps, documents have come my way or I have found them over the years doing family research. Genealogy is not as interesting as archaeology to be sure, but occasionally you do find some lost family treasure.

Circus animals, big-top attractions varied wildly in early Denver shows
Denver Post owner Harry Tammen was a born showman. And he loved circuses. He created his own small-time effort called the Floto Dog and Pony Show. Apparently, he was enamored of the name of one of his writers, Otto Floto, and commandeered the name to add a bit of dash.
According to Gene Fowler, who recorded the antics of Tammen and his Denver Post partner in his book, 'Timberline,' by 1903-04, Tammen sought a bigger production and finagled a relative of the Sells Bros. Circus family into joining him. Tammen added the Sells name and his little dog-and-pony show became the Sells-Floto Circus.
There was a mascot of sorts, called 'Bonfils,' a hippopotamus. Presumably its name was a hat-tip to Tammen's Denver Post partner, Frederick G. Bonfils.
The Sells-Floto show grew to one of the largest in the nation. It was popular in Denver in part because the circus acts made free special appearances in front of the Denver Post building.
The 'Mammoth Menagerie' mentioned in the advertising posters was no understatement. In those days, it would have been an exotic experience for most people to see a live hippopotamus, a Bactrian camel or even a tiger or elephant.
Celebrities also figured in the live entertainment. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody was an attraction in his later years. Actor Tom Mix drew crowds as well. He thrilled Denverites with his pony riding and troupe of trick ropers, who gave a free show in front of the downtown Denver Post building in 1931.

Pictured: Marcus Way (Kevin Burns)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Two well-pitched games on both sides saw Harvard come away on the losing end of two Ivy League games at O'Donnell Field on Saturday as Princeton defeated the Crimson by scores of 5-3 and 3-1.
Princeton, which improves to 6-0 in Ivy play this season (12-13 overall) needed a last-inning five-run rally and some help from the sun to win the opener before rising a 122-pitch effort from ace Zak Hermans to win the nightcap.
In the first game, Eric Eadington (0-4) cruised through the first six innings, scattering three hits while striking out six while Harvard (0-6 Ivy) took a 3-0 lead behind a two-run homer and RBI double from designated hitter Marcus Way.
Eadington got the first out of the seventh inning and got ahead of Mike Ford in the count, 1-2, before Ford guided an outside fastball to left for a one-out double. Nat Baird followed with an RBI single up the middle to make it 3-1 and Alex Flink double down the left field line to put the tying run in scoring position. Batting out of the eight-hole, Tom Boggiano singled sharply up the middle to tie the game. Harvard went to the bullpen and Ben Sestanovich induced a ground out that moved Boggiano to second. After a walk, pitcher Matt Bowman (2-3) squibbed a ball to no-man's land near third to load the bases. Will Keuper came on to face fellow lefty John Mishu and did his job, inducing a routine fly ball to center hat should have ended the inning. The glaring sun got in the way however, and Dillon O'Neill couldn't come up with the ball as it instead fell for a go-ahead two-run double for the final margin.
Bowman struck out seven and did not walk a batter to earn the win while also collecting two hits to lead the Tigers.
In the second game, Hermans (CG, 5 hits, 7 strikeouts) locked up in a duel with Harvard ace Max Perlman (L, 1-4, 6.1 IP, 6 hits, 6 K).
Princeton struck in the thirds inning, utilizing a bizarre play to claim a 1-0 lead. Bowmna led off with a single through the left side and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Sam Mulroy bounced a harmless grounder to third base but two Crimson fielders ran into each other and Mulroy beat the tardy throw to first to put runners on the corners with one out. Ford followed with a sacrifice fly and a 1-0 lead.
Harvard tied the game in the fourth as Jeff Reynolds doubled down the left field line with one out and alertly took third base on a second-out groundout. Reynolds scored on a wild pitch that came on Hermans' 37th pitch of the game and just his sixth non-strike of the early going. Hermans would need to work out of several more jams to get the win.
In the fifth, Harvard loaded the bases with two outs but he got a grounder to third to end the threat; in the seventh Harvard got runners on first and second but Hermans got consecutive strikeouts to wiggle out of that jam; in the eighth, Harvard put runners on second and third following a double steal but Hermans got a strikeout to get out of that trouble; in the ninth he worked around a leadoff double and ended the game with strikeouts against a pair of pinch hitters.
Princeton went ahead against Perlman in the seventh. A leadoff single by the number-nine batter, Bob Geren, was followed by a sacrifice bunt. Bowman singled to center to drive in a run and he came around on a double by Mulroy.
Keuper again came out of the bullpen for the Crimson and was steady, going 2.2 innings without allowing a base runner while striking out three.
Reynolds had two hits while Jake McGuiggan had a pair of doubles in his last two at bats but Hermans would only yield five hits in the game.

Consensus Report
Assessing Requirements for Sustained Ocean Color Research and Operations (2011)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Satellite measurements of ocean color provide a unique global perspective on the health of the ocean by allowing scientists to track changes in the abundance and productivity of phytoplankton, microscopic organisms that live in the ocean's surface waters and form the base of the marine food chain. Monitoring phytoplankton abundance can provide information on the ocean's essential functions and resources, which can be used to assess long-term climate changes, evaluate support of fisheries production, and detect harmful algal blooms, among other uses. However, the nation is at risk of losing access to ocean color data because existing satellite sensors are aging, and planned new satellite missions might not be able to acquire data at the accuracy levels needed for climate research. This report reviews the minimum requirements to sustain global ocean color measurements for research and operational use and identifies options to minimize the risk of an ocean color data gap.
Key Messages
- Satellite ocean color sensors measure the radiance from sunlight backscattered from the ocean and atmosphere. Deriving the ocean component of the total radiance is a complex, multi-step process, but lessons learned from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors provide insights that could improve current and future capabilities.
- All current sensors are beyond their design life. The launch of a new satellite, Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), is planned for fall 2011, but the committee concluded that VIIRS will only produce high-quality ocean color data if a series of improvements are made. Suggested actions include implementing a monthly lunar view, supporting a MOBY-like vicarious calibration approach, and building the capability to process and reprocess ocean color data at NOAA.
- To implement the suggested improvements to the VIIRS sensor, NOAA would need to build capacity, particularly in the areas of processing and calibrating ocean color data. Because NASA is already an internationally recognized leader in producing well-calibrated ocean color data products, the committee recommends that the two agencies could work in partnership to produce, archive, and distribute data of shared interest.
- If steps to resolve issues with VIIRS are not implemented, the US will lose its capability to sustain the current time-series of high quality ocean color measurements. Non-US sensors could augment data for US users if data-exchange agreements were immediately pursued.
- Based on its review of previous ocean color missions, the committee recommends a data-centric planning effort that involves multiple agencies and input from the academic research community would help support ocean color sensing; in particular, by ensuring continuity in satellite missions, that lessons learned are incorporated into future missions, and that capabilities for processing US and non-US data are maintained.
- The data requirements for ocean color applications are so diverse that a single satellite sensor or space agency cannot meet all ocean color needs. An international collaborative effort combining the many sensors planned for the future—for example, from Japan, South Korea, and India, and by the European Space Agency—could help meet the many diverse demands of the ocean color community.
- In order to ensure continuous funding for the ocean color research that extends beyond the lifetime of any particular satellite mission and provide long-range planning, the committee suggested forming a National Ocean Color body with representatives from federal agencies, academic institutions and the private sector. This group could supply external advice to individual missions, interact with foreign partners and develop consensus views on data needs and sensor requirements.

Comprehensive medical care is coordinated for all Bobcat student-athletes under the direction of a team physician and a staff of nationally certified and state licensed athletic trainers. Undergraduate student interns from the GCSU athletic training education program assist the professional staff in their duties while gaining valuable hands-on experience in the allied healthcare field. With a physician referral, the staff is also available to treat GCSU faculty, staff, and students for their outpatient rehabilitation needs.
The first goal of the program is to help prevent athletic injuries from occurring. Recognizing that some injuries and illnesses are inevitable, the professional staff works under the supervision of the team physician to diagnose those conditions, to provide initial treatment and follow-up care including any rehabilitation, and to counsel students on available treatment options. By providing quality care as early as possible, student-athletes are able return to the field of play as soon as possible while decreasing their risk of reinjury.
Services in the athletic training room include state of the art modalities such as ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and laser as well as other treatment methods to alleviate pain and swelling, increase strength and flexibility, and decrease risk of re-injury in the athletes treated there. Treatment and rehabilitation take place in the 1000 square foot athletic training room at the Centennial Center, as well as a smaller satellite facility at West Campus. A member of the athletic training staff is available at every practice and competition for the Bobcat teams throughout their respective seasons.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 15, No. 1 Spring 1988 Nancy Foran THE WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY and Dahli Gray Peat Marwick Research Fellow UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME THE EVOLUTION OF THE UNITARY TAX APPORTIONMENT METHOD Abstract: Taxpayers and taxing jurisdictions are, by definition and motivation, opposing forces and, therefore, in continual conflict. Taxpayers strive to minimize their tax liabilities while taxing jurisdictions seek ways to maximize their tax revenues. The unit-ary tax apportionment method was conceived by taxing jurisdic-tions as a method to prevent taxpayers from avoiding their fair share of the tax burden. The method evolved from a fairly insig-nificant procedure for the assessment of local property taxes to a very controversial means of apportioning the worldwide income of multinational corporate groups. Taxpayers have challenged the unitary tax apportionment method by utilizing economic sanc-tions, the legal system and the political process. This paper traces the effect of taxpayers' judicial, political and economic actions on the evolution of the unitary tax apportion-ment method. The study demonstrates that although taxpayers challenged this expansion numerous times in the courts and through the political process, it was not until taxpayers used economic sanctions that the states began to restrict the reach of the unitary method. Public law, case law, position statements, interviews and journal and newspaper articles provided the data for this study. INTRODUCTION When a business has operations within one tax jurisdic-tion, the resources and activities of that business are subject to tax only in that jurisdiction. However, when a business has operations in more than one tax jurisdiction, it is necessary to determine and tax the income and property values attributable to each jurisdiction in which the business operates. Three methods may be used in this determination: separate ac-counting, formula apportionment and specific allocation. The method used depends on the nature of the taxpayer's business and the laws of the tax jurisdiction. If the business activity within a tax jurisdiction is not connected with the business activity outside the jurisdiction, separate accounting is the appropriate method for dividing the

After false reports surfaced that Nicki Minaj was diagnosed with HIV, Twitter was flooded with posts using the hashtag "#pray4nicki" with fans asking for well-wishes for the hip-hop diva. The story of the hoax was first reported by the Epoch Times.
Of course, this is not the first time that "Nicki Minaj" and "HIV" have been used in the same sentence. Minaj was named spokesperson for MAC Cosmetic's Viva Glam campaign, which donates sales profits from its products toward HIV/AIDS relief efforts abroad. Nicki Minaj's MAC lipstick shade is the best-selling shade in the Viva Glam lipstick line's history. In appearances for the lipstick line, Minaj has spoken about the death of her uncle in Trinidad from HIV/AIDS, and reminded those listening that HIV/AIDS is not a "gay disease ... or an 'in the 80s' disease."
Hoaxes and the Internet are not strange bedfellows -- they practically go hand in hand. Plenty of celebrities, including young, white, male Justin Bieber, have been the targets of death hoaxes. But the fact that Nicki Minaj, a black woman, is the subject of a hoax pertaining to her HIV status smacks of casual racism. Could it be so easy to believe a rumor that she's HIV positive because she actively discusses her sex life -- a sex life that, as a black woman, is subject to stigma -- and because black women shoulder a disproportionate burden in this epidemic?
What do you think? Is the hoax harmless? Would a celebrity's race and gender have an effect on whether you'd believe a report about their HIV status? Could Nicki use this hoax as an opportunity to talk to her fans about safer sex, and the importance of knowing their HIV status?

Ansel Brown On August 2nd, 2013, Ansel Brown and his band headlined the Annual Academi USO of NC Coast Guard Concert! To say that they rocked the waterfront park would be an understatement! It was a night to remember for those that gathered to support our Coasties! The audience was surprised several times by Ansel and it made for a very unique experience for all that gathered. Ansel started the night sitting down in a lawn chair out in the audience with the fans to their delight and surprise! While he performed the opening song, many in the audience tried to figure out where Ansel was, including his band! When he stood up after the applause it became clear to the audience that this would not be your garden variety concert. Ansel loves being close to a down-to-earth crowd, he got his wish! What a night to remember!
"Being the President of the Elizabeth City Area Chamber of Commerce, I am always relieved when I receive such positive feedback from our members and community.

Telstra has revealed plans to switch off copper services in South Brisbane by the end of 2012 as it begins rolling out a replacement fibre network in the area.
The carrier's migration of some 18,000 homes and businesses off the copper network came about as a result of the closure of the existing South Brisbane exchange, which was being bulldozed to make way for the Queensland Children's Hospital.
All ADSL and cable broadband subscribers in five suburbs would receive the fibre upgrade. Existing Foxtel pay TV (cable) users were unaffected.
In an update on the migration, Telstra director of fixed and data access engineering David Piltz said customers would be given three months' notice ahead of copper replacement occurring in their area.
Once activated, it would be up to customers to switch their retail services through their chosen ISP.
"Anyone currently using the copper cable network for either a telephone or broadband service (or both), either as a Telstra customer or through another service provider, will need to be connected to the new fibre or they will not have a working service once the copper cables are disconnected," he said.
As part of its preparations, Telstra has already begun migrating customers with symmetric data services to the nearby Woolloongabba exchange and upgrading street conduits ahead of the fibre rollout.
The telco would ask permission before bringing any lead-in fibre connections to premises.
It was unclear where the fibre serving equipment would be housed. A Telstra spokesman has been contacted for comment.
Telstra agreed in March to offer a Layer 2 wholesale service to its competitors on the upgraded fibre network.
The Fibre Access Broadband service would be offered in speed tiers of 8Mbps downlink/384Kbps uplink, 30/1 and 100/5.
The fibre service would also have 99.2 percent guaranteed uptime and possibility for connections through L2TP and virtual LAN tunnels.
The wholesale services were based on initial trials of offering access to fibre services in Point Cook, Victoria to other service providers from April last year.
However, iiNet chief regulatory officer Steve Dalby told iTnews that little had changed since the release of Telstra's wholesale product.
"I don't think Telstra has done anything more than what they're obliged to do by law... they're calling it a modernisation but in fact it's winding back services for any customer that's been serviced by any other provider," he said.
He criticised the wholesale service as inferior technically to the product currently offered to customers in those areas over copper, as it did not provide technologies such as the multicast base required for internet protocol television.
Rollout in the south Brisbane area would likely coincide with the NBN rollout in the city's northern suburbs scheduled to start next month.
Telstra's push to roll out fibre came as Communications Minister Stephen Conroy set out draft regulatory instruments for the telco's structural separation.
Under a completed financial heads of agreement with NBN Co, Telstra would be permitted to continue rolling out fibre in areas on a equal access arrangement, but would progressively decommission its copper network once NBN Co had passed at least 90 per cent of homes with its own network in a given area.
Customers would be given 18 months once an area was deemed 'service ready' to switch to the National Broadband Network or another fibre service before the copper was switched off.

The new BIS510 vision sensor is used for sheet verification in collating, folding, and binding machines.
Sheet verification is becoming an increasingly important task for quality assurance in printing post-production. The BIS510 vision sensor contains a powerful sensor designed to detect incorrectly fed sheets. Features such as fully automatic teach-in of reference images ensure reliable and convenient sheet verification.
Pepperl+Fuchs has developed the specialized vision sensor BIS510 for this task and combined the benefits of vision systems and industrial vision sensors. The BIS510 is an independent sensor that contains a high-resolution camera and a control interface. There is no need for a separate control interface, so the sensor is smaller and less expensive, making mechanical integration easier.
You will need Windows Media Player or similar software to view the movies.

Got my 32Gb K1 two days ago.
Really had a hard time on opening the SD card door. Now understand what was in the reviews, 'Lenovo made it unnecessary difficult to open the SD card door'.
Watched the Youtube video several times, then I tried to poke the clip pin into the hole, tried different angles, the door just opened a little bit (like 0.5mm), could not open more.
Any tricks, what angle, how deep should the pin stick in? Do I need to push really hard?
If I can not open the door, I have to return it. I can tolerate software bugs, wait for updates. But without sd card function, there is no point to keep the unit. So frustrated now.
Thanks for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks for replying.
I pushed many times, no sucess. Then I asked two others to try, both gave up.
We watched the Youtube video, it seems to push in an angle toward the sd card. No much force is needed.
Anyway, I may send the unit for depot service.

It is not a tray that pops out, it is more like a flap door. When you push the pin in, it releases a catch on the pin side allowing the cover to swing open. Pin side opens, opposite side has hinge.
Just looked at the mechanism, it only takes about 1 mm push. It is a simple lever, you push on one side (pin hole) and the other side pushes up under the side of the flap door, pushing it open as it is just friction fit.
Thanks. I will give a one more try. Once the door is open, I will leave it open for its rest of life.
Why does Lenovo make life so complicated? It seems that every review mention this stupid door.

It is much easier for the thief to just take the whole tablet. SD card is in almost every laptop, no other
laptop/tablet maker uses a door to guard it.
Gave a last try, poke straight into the hole, the door open slightly, but stuck. No enough area to pry the door open.
I believe the door fit too tightly with the frame, and get stuck. Going to have Lenovo replace the door or return to store.
If you try to open it the first time, yes, it is very tight. Once you got it the first time, it will be easier next time. AND the card can only be taken out by pressing IN for the spring to eject out. DO NOT pull the card. However, even if you let it sprung out, it is still a bit too deep to take out by fingers.
After reviewing the disassemble K1 video, I pried from the screen side to pop the door open.
The door seems poortly manufactured, use a sand paper to remove some material on door should help.

The LT2 tire is tailor made for gravel, paths, roads, and alleys. With its Hard-Case Lite construction you'll keep rolling through debris, while the Tubeless Ready (TLR) system helps prevent flats. This tire is as versatile as it is durable.
The LT2 Hard-Case Lite is an all-condition, light trail specialty tire designed to be fast rolling on both pavement and trails without worry about rocks or debris causing flats.
Key features
- Excels on gravel and rough roads
- Hard-Case Lite protects against punctures with superior, lightweight, sub-tread material
- Use Bontrager TLR sealant for worry-free setup and puncture protection
- Butyl-lined casing improves air retention for consistent tubeless-ready performance
Tubeless-ready tires are compatible with both tubeless-ready and standard rims. When the tire is mounted on a tubeless-ready rim with special tubeless rim tape, valve, and sealant, the tire and rim form an airtight chamber that no longer requires a tube. This lets you run lower tire pressure with less fear of pinch flats and without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction and lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces. The tire can also be used with a tube if you mount it on a standard, non-tubeless-ready rim.

Hey, I'm all for a night out drinking now and then, but not to the point where I'm crawling into industrial garbage bins to sleep one off. You might not wake up when it's crunch time.
Case in point—math teacher and rugby coach Scott Williams was recently crushed to death when he fell asleep in an industrial garbage bin in Brighton, UK. His body was discovered more than 24 hours later by sanitation workers.
Seems like an open and shut case, but I still have to wonder whether or not the Boozy Shredder was involved somehow. Then again, could someone else be to blame? [The Argus via Fark]
