If you'll be trimming the tree and then hitting the town for some ho-ho-holiday party action this year (maybe more than a few nights before the year is out), you'll want to wear denim that accomplishes three things:

2. Feel good while you're cutting a rug.
3. Start conversations about "Omg-where-did-you-get-them".
Here are nine pairs of jeans that win the "most likely to be caught on a dance floor" from a range of price points on the market right now. And remember, if you rip your jeans while you're starting an aerobics-mosh-pit, we're here for you.

In the market for a pair of jeans to party in? Denim Therapy's founder Francine test drove a pair of Bleulab Reversible Denim in a gorgeous metallic-champagne hue at NYC hotspot Le Bain recently, to see if the jeans would pass the New York nightlife test. The style in question? The Detour Legging in gold membrane (reversible to reveal a grey leather jean on the other side). And guess what—they did! She styled them with a chic knit top and killer metallic necklace to bring the look full circle. Check out what she felt about the fit and function below.
What was your first thought when you tried them on? First thought was, I can't wait to go party and wear these jeans! (And so I did). They are so comfortable and yet look and feel so cool!
Where/when would you wear these? They are reversible so you can wear day and night and style them in so many different ways. I can literally wear them to Le Bain (pictured above) or for a Sunday brunch.
How's the fit? It's great. They're skinny and sit above the waist. They don't have front pockets so has been a bit of an adjustment… but hey, who needs those pockets when you can wear them with a chic bag?
Want these jeans? Score them now for $224.

We love Bleulab Reversible Denim (who wouldn't love owning two pairs of jeans in one?) as you may have picked up while reading our recent reports on the line, and their transition into spring 2012 is the stuff dreams are made of. Whether you're craving a classic faded dark wash jean or a candy-colored pastel hue, they've got you covered front to back. Pun intended. Metallics, faux-animal skins, and primary colors take the stage alongside acid wash, houndstooth print, and even florals. The range is wide and it'll be hard to shop this line full of must-haves, but one thing's for sure: whatever you choose, you'll stand out in the crowd. Check out their latest lookbook below.

When it comes to wow-factor, Bleulab Reversible Denim is on the top of everyone's list, from the ladies in our office to celebs and downtown socialites whose style we adore. They come out with intense combos, like acid wash lace print on one side, and coated pink waxy finish on the other (think splash of Pepto-Bismol on a lacy dress, except you're wearing it, and it's gorgeous). When we caught a glimpse of what they've got in store for next season, we had cartoon-hearts in our eyes. After covering basic trends like animal prints and faux-skins in the fall line, they went all-out superstar with metallic silver, cracker leather, and electric red. But it's not all novelty: they're offering a perfect dark-wash flare leg jean.
For spring, the palette goes saturated and light with electric candy colors like violet and lime. Shorts are printed in florals and oversized houndstooth. Snakeskin reappears in a lighter, cropped style. Light wash jeans and acid wash are rampant (and look amazing). And don't forget—every jean has a totally different interior for flipping inside-out and wearing all over again. Two amazing pairs of jeans for the price of one. Our absolute favorite? This shimmering line of metallic teal and violet snakeskin shorts. We are literally clawing at our laptop screens.

La Sportiva Tora Shoe Review
La Sportiva Tora, $90
- Steep rock: 2.5 Star
- Face climbing: 2.5 Star
- Long routes: 2 Star
- Upper: Leather, unlined
- Rubber: 5mm FriXion Green
The Tora is one of La Sportiva's three new price-point shoes, and our favorite of the bunch.The last is more relaxed than many of the company's premium models, upping comfort but lowering performance. I'd recommend it to beginner or intermediate climbers looking for a Velcro slipper to wear in the gym, or anyone looking for a comfortable long-route shoe that isn't as stiff as a plank. (And if you pull hard enough, this moderately stiff and moderately cambered shoe will get you up V10 or 5.13 and beyond.)
+ Well made; comfortable.
- Limited performance.

Diablo II v1.08 patch
This is a great improvement in gameplay for characters such as the sor. However I updated my Diablo and i lost everything i had. And No not all my stuff was hacked, (maybe 1 or 2). I lost everything, on my body and in my stash. I strongly recommend not downloading this patch. Good thing i back up my chars.
Diablo II v1.08 patch
The new patch is a big disgrace to the game. It makes the game unbearable to play. The new "balance" of characters actually just made things more worst for all characters besides the sorceress. If Blizzard wants to keep their hopes high for more players and sales for the expansion pack, they should remove the patch. In short, they patch has made players stop playing the game and made the game plain out horrible.

Posted on 07/24/2012 3:42:38 AM PDT by neverdem
Its been a bad year to bet against Albert Einstein.
In the spring physicists had to withdraw a sensational report that the subatomic particles known as neutrinos were going faster than light, Einsteins cosmic speed limit; they discovered they had plugged in a cable wrong.
Now scientists from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory have reported that they have explained one of the great mysteries of the space age, one that loomed for 30 years as a threat to the credibility of Einsteinian gravity.
The story starts with the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes, which went past Jupiter and Saturn in the late 1970s and now are on their way out of the solar system. In the 1980s it became apparent that a mysterious force was slowing them down a little more than should have been expected from gravity of the Sun and planets..
Was there an unknown planet or asteroid out there tugging on the spacecraft? Was it drag from interplanetary gas or dust? Something weird about the spacecraft? Or was something wrong in our calculation of gravity out there in the dark?
That last explanation would have been big news indeed. Much of what we know about the universe for example, the existence of dark matter, which seems to swaddle and shape the galaxies, and of dark energy, which seems to be speeding up the expansion of the universe comes from presuming that Einsteins General Theory of Relativity, which describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry is correct over cosmic distances.
General relativity has passed every test on Earth. Without correcting for it, GPS systems would not work. But some theorists have suggested that if gravity behaved differently over large distances from what Einstein thought, it would relieve astronomers of the embarrassing need to posit...
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
The Higgs bosons are getting tired.
Turns out to be the pressure of infrared light emitted from the forward facing heat sinks of the equipment on board.
Frickin tribbles. They're like squirrels in a power station.
This simply confirms that education does not trump absolute genius. In this day and age, it is surprising how the know it alls... do not. Science gets less credible every day.
This is REALLY your take on this story? So what besides "science" would have figured this out?
No, my take is this... REALLY! It would be logical to conclude that after billions of taxpayer dollars and untold years of cumulative education and extremely advanced equipment, we would have been able to go beyond simply disproving Einstein. In fact, it would be logical to assume science would have evolved dramatically, in this area. In fact, it has simply proven otherwise. Education does not trump genius. REALLY.
1) The purpose of the Pioneer mission wasn't to disprove Einstein, it was to explore Jupiter and Saturn, which it did spectacularly well.
2) The effort of this scientist to go over the old Pioneer data didn't cost "billions."
3) If you had the slightest comprehension of science, you'd understand a big part of it is doing experiments to continuously confirm previous observations and theories. Newton turned out to be slightly wrong after hundreds and hundreds of years.
4) Here's the EDUCATION of the guy that solved this puzzle:
Slava G. Turyshev
Doctor Habilitatus, Astronomy, Astrophysics & Gravitational Physics, Moscow State University, Russia (2008)
MBA, The Anderson Graduate School of Management, UCLA (2003)
Ph.D., Astrophysics & Theoretical Gravity Physics, Moscow State University, Russia (1990)
M.S. Quantum Field Theory & High Energy Physics (with honors), Moscow State University, Russia (1987)
I think he may want to reword that sentence a bit.
All Dr. Turyshev had to do was talk to the guy that was driving a Porshe, IIRC, at high speeds without headlights on the NJ Parkway at night on his trips to and from Atlantic City.
A couple of other observations:
1) Einstein had an undergraduate degree from ETH Zurich, and a PhD from the University of Zurich.
2) If this analysis HAD proven Einstein wrong, I have little doubt you would have posted "Science worshipped Einstein like a God for a century and he was wrong! Science gets less credible by the day."
So, what's your reason for an irrational hatred of science and scientists? Think infrared radiation back-pressure is adequately covered in Genesis or something?
Why the personal attack?
The entire physical universe is an illusion. Don't worry about it.
I could be wrong but I think that was the gist of the comments.
All observable realities depend on the arbitrary emotions of Haruhi Suzumiya...
Thanks for the clarification. I am saying roughly that, yes. A personal attack is a weapon of last resort. I am a big- time science freak.. the complexity of the various branches leave me awed. However, my point really is this.. What is the point of investing so much money and time into discrediting Einstein? I could understand the attempt to decode the universe to improve daily lives and the defense thereof. The simple desire to disprove the existence of God is getting a little old. I tell my own children to remember the story of the Garden of Eden, two trees were there. Trust in God or Trust in man's pursuit of knowledge. Your choice.
Not sure if it's really the scientists that seem to want to do this (discredit Einstein), or those in the media, looking for a big story. A little like taking down Nixon, during Watergate.
What did Albert know, and when did he know it?
You didn't like the answer?
Science is not an attempt to disprove God. Science is an attempt by the most successful religion in the history of the universe to understand God's creation.
Christianity is the rational religion and is responsible for creating all of the current scientific disciplines.
What an odd point of view for you to take.
Could very well be spatial anomalies. I would check the Trellium D cladding and confirm it is in multimode at 125mm. Biggest mistake is going single mode.
Screws up the core.
My point of view has always been odd. Not unusual for me to think outside of the "consensus" or the "collective". Just the way I am wired.
Reminds me of one of my favorite Steven Wright jokes: "If you're driving your car at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights, what happens?"
Apparently, you slow down.
Maybe if they tried Inverse Polarity ! (that seems to fix everything)
Individual liberty, personal responsibility and faith in a Divine supreme being works fabulously in mundane day to day society while unpredictable results-determined subatomic activities allow—as per Schrodinger--the first man observing the wave collapse to arbitrarily determine the properties of the latest reality—these observers of course, belong to the atheist ranks demanded by Leftist academia since Niels Bohr successfully banished Einstein's, Newton's, Galileo's, Copernicus's etc etc God from Physics...the "scientific" passing of the torch, as it were, to Freud, Darwin and Marx, of "empirically proved" moral relativism which falsely and evilly established the "justness" of politically imposed Leftist infallibility...as such currently the so-called "God Particle" is desperately to be discovered and disingenuously dissected so as to ideologically and politically reduce the term to simple, "particle.""
The beginning of knowledge is to admit you know noting...........
Certainly if you have the technology for a light speed automobile you will have the technology for tachyon headlights—the question is would they illuminate where you are going or where you have been?
So, next time I'm stuck in the mud all I have to do is turn on my headlights...............and wait a million years........I'm gonna need a bigger battery...........
No need to insult people you are responding to.
wow- they canb detext pressure that small? (or the change from it?)
That's pretty amazing
It also means it will eventuall slow the craft down and stop it.
Does anyone know what the lifetime of the power supply is?
No truer statement, in my humble opinion.
Study Finds Heat is Source of 'Pioneer Anomaly'
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California
July 17, 2012
The unexpected slowing of NASA's Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft - the so-called "Pioneer Anomaly" - turns out to be due to the slight, but detectable effect of heat pushing back on the spacecraft, according to a recent paper. The heat emanates from electrical current flowing through instruments and the thermoelectric power supply. The results were published on June 12 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
"The effect is something like when you're driving a car and the photons from your headlights are pushing you backward," said Slava Turyshev, the paper's lead author at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "It is very subtle."
Launched in 1972 and 1973 respectively, Pioneer 10 and 11 are on an outward trajectory from our sun. In the early 1980s, navigators saw a deceleration on the two spacecraft, in the direction back toward the sun, as the spacecraft were approaching Saturn. They dismissed it as the effect of dribbles of leftover propellant still in the fuel lines after controllers had cut off the propellant.
But by 1998, as the spacecraft kept traveling on their journey and were over 8 billion miles (13 billion kilometers) away from the sun, a group of scientists led by John Anderson of JPL realized there was an actual deceleration of about 300 inches per day squared (0.9 nanometers per second squared). They raised the possibility that this could be some new type of physics that contradicted Einstein's general theory of relativity.
In 2004, Turyshev decided to start gathering records stored all over the country and analyze the data to see if he could definitively figure out the source of the deceleration. In part, he and colleagues were contemplating a deep space physics mission to investigate the anomaly, and he wanted to be sure there was one before asking NASA for a spacecraft.
He and colleagues went searching for Doppler data, the pattern of data communicated back to Earth from the spacecraft, and telemetry data, the housekeeping data sent back from the spacecraft. At the time these two Pioneers were launched, data were still being stored on punch cards. But Turyshev and colleagues were able to copy digitized files from the computer of JPL navigators who have helped steer the Pioneer spacecraft since the 1970s.
They also found over a dozen of boxes of magnetic tapes stored under a staircase at JPL and received files from the National Space Science Data Center at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., and worked with NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., to save some of their boxes of magnetic optical tapes.
He collected more than 43 gigabytes of data, which may not seem like a lot now, but is quite a lot of data for the 1970s. He also managed to save a vintage tape machine that was about to be discarded, so he could play the magnetic tapes.
The effort was a labor of love for Turyshev and others. The Planetary Society sent out appeals to its members to help fund the data recovery effort. NASA later also provided funding. In the process, a programmer in Canada, Viktor Toth, heard about the effort and contacted Turyshev. He helped Turyshev create a program that could read the telemetry tapes and clean up the old data.
They saw that what was happening to Pioneer wasn't happening to other spacecraft, mostly because of the way the spacecraft were built. For example, the Voyager spacecraft are less sensitive to the effect seen on Pioneer, because its thrusters align it along three axes, whereas the Pioneer spacecraft rely on spinning to stay stable.
With all the data newly available, Turyshev and colleagues were able to calculate the heat put out by the electrical subsystems and the decay of plutonium in the Pioneer power sources, which matched the anomalous acceleration seen on both Pioneers.
"The story is finding its conclusion because it turns out that standard physics prevail," Turyshev said. "While of course it would've been exciting to discover a new kind of physics, we did solve a mystery."
Pioneer 10 and 11 were managed by NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. Pioneer 10's last signal was received on Earth in January 2003. Pioneer 11's last signal was received in November 1995. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
Maybe at the time scales involved, the power module (nuclear, which was assisted by photocells when the craft was near the sun, but no more) will have long petered out before directional emission of infrared photons could significantly slow the craft let alone stop it.
I'm cudgeling my brain without success to remember the name of the little physics toy that had an assembly of two to four vanes, painted white on one side and black on the other, mounted to pivot in a nearly evacuated glass bulb. Sunlight would make the vane assembly turn as the black side of the vanes became warmer than the white side. And yet it wasn't light pressure that achieved this, but differential between how the residual gas in the bulb was warmed and set in motion at the surfaces of the vanes.
Well you do have to know enough to understand that gaining more knowledge is helpful and important.
Or if you have to make a sudden stop, just put the lights on.
You mean writing music, or making little self-memos so you don't forget things? I'm going with the latter, because it helps me retain what little knowledge I have.
That's a Radiometer.
Maybe I need Cliff's Notes for Dummies...........
Oops!.....forgot the pic!............
Without the Times' Science Tuesday section, I would not have found the story.
Nope, that's just what was in the official Starfleet reports. The truth is there's a massive destructive force headed for earth and we have to go back in time to save the whales.
Well at least you enjoy using your computer and being on the internet. ;)
Or... the white surface reflected 'light', and the black surface absorbed light. In a sense, repulsion and attraction. The gas near the white surface would tend to expand due to the additional 'reflected heat', adding 'repulsion' to the mix.
Maybe it's a combination of things, instead of one thing.
Sounds just as reasonable as...
Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
Please look right here.
A radiometer is a device for measuring the radiant flux (power) of electromagnetic radiation. Generally, the term radiometer denotes an infrared radiation detector, yet it also includes detectors operating on any electromagnetic wavelength.
A common example is the Crookes radiometer, an early-model device wherein a rotor (having vanes which are dark on one side, and light on the other) in a partial vacuum spins when exposed to light. A common myth (one originally held even by Crookes) is that the momentum of the absorbed light on the black faces makes the radiometer operate. If this were true however, the radiometer would spin away from the non-black faces, since the photons bouncing off those faces impart even more momentum than the photons absorbed on the black faces. Follow the link below for an in-depth explanation of the principles behind a Crookes radiometer.
The Nichols radiometer operates on a different principle and is more sensitive than the Crookes type.
A microwave radiometer operates in the microwave wavelengths. The radiometer contains argon gas to enable it to rotate.
The MEMS radiometer, invented by Patrick Jankowiak, can operate on the principles of Nichols or Crooke and can operate over a wide spectrum of wavelength and particle energy levels.

All I can say is the scientists did the math and it made sense once they did. The effect is extremely tiny of course compared with the craft's rapid velocity. They are talking about a few hundred feet lagged during a period when the craft went millions of miles into space.

Moussy keeps up the good pace for spring 2012 with a new round of rocker-chic denim separates, leather jackets, and general badassery that fits nicely into any wardrobe. Abbey Lee Kershaw models the campaign once again, photographed by the notorious Terry Richardson in a high contrast display of studs, star print, and acid wash. Abbey displays her ability to make non-glamorous activities look exciting, like standing in a bathroom and eating fast food. We're digging it.

Fire officials in Amherst, Massachusetts say an early morning blaze on Monday at an apartment building where one student was killed and more than thirty people left homeless — raises a string of safety concerns about off-campus housing.
The Rolling Green complex was built three or four decades ago. And that makes it similar in age and structure to many of the apartments UMass students consider when choosing to move out of the dorms. Assistant Fire Chief Lindsay Stromgren says older units like Rolling Green and Amherst Crossing — which suffered a similar blaze four years ago — were built before state law called for safety mechanisms like sprinkler systems and fire resistant floors.
"A lot of them are wood trusses and a lot of them have big open attic spaces. So if you do get a fire that gets up into the attic space, once its up there it can run the whole length of the building. And that's what happened in this case."
Stromgren says there are very few new apartments around Amherst — and that shortage means those that do exist tend to be out of many students' price range. But even in buildings with safety mechanisms, he says, some students take a risk by overfilling living spaces to cut down on rent. In some cases, students occupy what he calls "illegal bedrooms."
"Either in attic spaces or in basements. And the problem with those is they don't have the proper means of egress if there is a fire. You know you can imagine if you're down in the basement, there aren't windows you can get out of and your only way to come out is up."
Stromgren says the cause of the fire at Rolling Green is still under investigation, as is the building's use of smoke detectors. Calls placed to the property management company in charge of the unit were not returned in time for broadcast. The victim of the fire has been identified as twenty-one year old James E. Hoffman of Stoughton.

USDA Forest Service Research Center's Tree-Planting Technique Takes Root in South
USDA Forest Service research is transforming exhausted farmland in Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee into thousands of acres of hardwood forests that will provide revenue to landowners, remove carbon from the air and serve as habitats for wildlife.
In 1998, scientists with the Forest Service's Center for Bottomland Hardwoods Research, in Stoneville, Miss., began testing methods of afforestation – growing trees on barren farmland. The result was a tree-planting technique that mixed cottonwoods trees (poplars) with hardwood yearlings to produce strong, straight-stemmed hardwood trees.

Gwen VerdonActor / Dancer
Born: 13 January 1925
Died: 18 October 2000 (Natural causes)
Birthplace: Culver City, California
Best known as: The original Lola in Broadway's Damn Yankees
Gwen Verdon was considered Broadway's best dancer in the 1950s and '60s. Known especially for her impudent verve and flaming red hair, Verdon won four Tony awards during the 1950s and was nominated twice more after that. Among her best-known roles were the seductive Lola in Damn Yankees (1955) and the title role in Sweet Charity (1966). Verdon had a lengthy, stormy marriage to director and choreographer Bob Fosse; their relationship was depicted in part in his movie All That Jazz (1979). Her last major Broadway role was that of Roxie Hart in Fosse's 1975 musical Chicago. In later years Verdon had roles in various movies and made guest appearances on many TV series.
Extra credit:
Chicago was revived on Broadway the 1990s, and Roxie was then played by Renee Zellweger in the Oscar-winning 2002 film version.

Etta News, September 1, 2010
We were able to enjoy a day with light showers falling instead of a hot sunshine coming down in full force. It was still hot but not like it had been for the last few days with the heat of the sun.
At least it was a little break during Sunday. I guess it was good for the turnip seed that had been sown. Maybe the seeds will sprout now and come on out and began to grow with a little evidence of going to the garden instead of the grocery store for a change to get part of our food that is so enjoyable, once in a while fresh from our garden.
The homecoming day for one of the churches on our charge is now history for this year. Union Hill has that day behind them now and cannot be recalled. The day consisted of congregational singing with specials and worship service with former pastor, Rev. Dwain Whitehurst, at the 11:00 hour. A full house enjoyed the morning. The guest pianist was Debbie Kirk. After lunch again congregational singing with specials followed by the group Breakin' Grass which closed out the afternoon.
These homecomings are far from what it used to be when singers would come from far and near. These days are gone and not many young people are interested now as it was in the past when singing schools were taught to the younger generation. Much good singing was enjoyed during the day. As the old saying, You can't stand still-you either go forward or backward. So maybe in our day a little of both has come and those good old days are just memories for us older people.
My great granddaughter, Morgan Bishop, has finally succeeded in her long waiting of catching a bird in her temporary bird trap. She caught one and was so proud of her accomplishment. She was sitting on my front porch watching for that to happen. She ran out after the bird that got under the trap, pulled the string on the trigger and the trap fell. She ran out there in great joy that she had finally succeeded. She will tell her class mates in school that it finally happened. What she had waited so patiently for.
Tom's brother from Hawaii called when he got back home that he was home safely with his family. Its a small world now but yet so big.
The little humming birds have been having a picnic today at my feeders. They may know it will soon be time for them to take their flight for their winter home.
I've surely enjoyed the nice home grown tomatoes my nephew, Winford and wife Elaine, brought me the other day. I say thanks again for the visit and the tomatoes from down Tupelo way. I sure did enjoy their visit with me.
Morgan was thrilled again she caught another bird pretty soon, came running in to show me she caught another bird. I guess her temporary trap paid off after her long wait while she was out of school on the weekend. She will be thrilled to tell her class mates about it.
Wednesday Night Worship continues this week at Friendship at 6:30. The Salem Family Theater will show "Letters to God" on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 6:30. Free admission, free popcorn and free drinks.
Men's Breakfast will be hosted by Friendship, the first Sunday in September.
Shelby went to Ripley on day last week for a small reception for Jimmy Downs. He is retiring the last of August. His former employees, some family members and close friends attended the surprise reception. He worked some over 39 years waiting for this day.

At the moment he hasn't been shown to use haki, but i don't think he is far off, i think his current spirit or aura attacks ( ashura ) are to do with the "breath" of things, which he aquired in Alabasta.
I think he should but i'm not sure.
At the moment he hasn't been shown to use haki, but i don't think he is far off, i think his current spirit or aura attacks ( ashura ) are to do with the "breath" of things, which he aquired in Alabasta.
@ the pictures - nope, it's not haki
I'm not sure whether is Zoro able to use haki or not. If not, then he'd be the first one, right after Luffy, to learn it.
I think most of them will learn to use haki. Haki is based on willpower and i think all of them have a fair share of willpower.
That's what should make the strawhats better then everyone else. Strong will turned into power. Even the weak strawhats. That would also be a great thing in the plot, luffy 'unconciously' chose the people he meets with the strongest will as his crew.
I hope that's what will happen, and the main reason for the improvement of all the strawhats power. Let's see how they all turn out when they get back together! I really can't wait to see their improved form.
i am sure that after this long separation , zoro will get us something new !
A True Moment of honorLets Wonder the Luffy reacts over this moment and When?
I just watched the new one piece 395 and there was a part where Zoro was surrounded by guys with swords. they were about to attack him, Zoro looked like he used some kind of haki there and they dropped there swords. Check it out its around 12mins into the video www.megavideo.com/?v=RE86G2PF
maybe he has normal haki but not the royal haki like luffy has
i think zoro is able to use haki, now remember emporio ivanakov said haki and hormones can help create your own life force. Well imagine zoro pushing himself to his limits all the time his body is probably pumping out plenty of hormones probably more than the average gorilla... Then you have him in all these life and death states where it is his will power that keeps him alive or at least conscience through it. Just some food for thought.

Teodoro Vidal Collection of Puerto Rican History
Explore Puerto Rico's history, from the 16th to the 20th centuries, through the eyes of collector Teodoro Vidal. Vidal captured the island's history by collecting thousands of objects. Over 80 artifacts are featured here.
"Teodoro Vidal Collection of Puerto Rican History - Introduction" showing 1 items.
Virgen de Monserrate
- Description
- The lore surrounding the Virgin of Monserrat originated in the jagged mountains of Catalonia, in northeastern Spain. In 1599, when she is said to have appeared to Gerardo González, a farmer, near Hormigueros, in southwestern Puerto Rico, she acquired a new set of traditions and imagery, unique to the island. Like many Madonnas, the Virgin of Monserrat is usually shown seated on a thrown, with her son Jesus Christ on her lap and a globe in one of her outstretched hands. In this example, the globe is missing. This figure shows the unique style of its creator, El Cachetón de Lares, (The Big-Cheeked Man from Lares), a name given to an anonymous santero by Teodoro Vidal, based on the large cheeks with which he endowed his carvings.

Since 2007, the Digital IQ® Survey has asked one simple question: What actions can leaders take to confirm their digital investments deliver and sustain value
This year, our survey of nearly 2,000 executives - drawn evenly from the technology and business sides of global organisations identified 10 critical capabilities that correlate with stronger financial performance.
Top-performing companies are more deliberate in their digital strategy, innovation, and execution. They are more likely to have CEO commitment, strategic clarity, and shared understanding. They are more apt to take a broad view when applying technology and identifying sources of innovation. And they are more prone to being skilled at turning their data into insight, proactive in cybersecurity, and consistent in measuring outcomes from digital investments.
Those organisations that displayed these attributes - our Digital IQ leaders - were twice as likely to achieve more rapid revenue and profit growth as the laggards in our study.

I never thought I would be one of those old guys calling the dog to tell her it was time to take a pill. I never thought I would write a Letter to the Editor supporting a Democrat President's policies. I was wrong. The first task is completed twice a day, morning and evening; the following is my attempt at the second.
Unlike a Republican president, President Obama, is free to wage war without the screaming chants, waving signs, and staged demonstrations of the anti-war crowd. Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who declared our defeat while our troops still fought, remains silent.
This silence allows the Commander in Chief to fight a war more to his liking, and this president likes the use of drone aircraft; unmanned predators sending down havoc on the latest unlucky terrorist whose card has been plucked from the presidential hand of death.
This lack of dissent means less innocent civilians will die; our enemy no longer needs to commit atrocities to demonstrate the futility of our cause. It also means less of our military will die; since stirring up opposition here at home, goaded by high casualties, will fail if not reported by a complacent media.
In this endeavor I support President Obama and wish him good hunting with more successful strikes. I commend members of Congress who have rediscovered enthusiasm for victory in war. And last, but not least, I thank those indubitable believers in peace, the vaunted war protesters, who through their profound silence have given consent; a silence that is golden, but will certainly end with the election of a Republican president.

This one goes out to the ladies who'll be making holiday party runs from day to night without stopping home for a change (and maybe even continuing the following day… don't deny that it's happened to you)! We love the look of layering sparkly, sweet frocks with denim, and in the case of this outfit from the Thread Sense holiday lookbook, managing 48 hours of parties and work (and espresso runs) is a snap with a look that literally covers all bases.
The breakdown:
Start with a striped knit top, neutral, in a luxe knit fabric. Tuck it into a shimmering sequin skirt (the scalloped edge keeps it playful and festive). Add a sheer layered woven top, and finally a cropped denim jacket. This light wash number fits the bill perfectly: the Wanderer Shearling Denim Jacket by Mink Pink ($101). Finally, finish off the look with camel colored ankle booties and a showpiece necklace.
Styling Tips:
1. Polka-dots = instant party, but if you're just starting out in the layering game, you might want to try something solid for the sheer layered top.
2. Medium-to-high waist is a must for styling this skirt.
3. Because there's so much going on here, keep the colors neutral (and let the blue denim & pop-color statement necklace do the talking).
4. Hair looks great tossed in soft curls or up in a bun (and you can change your hair as you layer & un-layer for different occasions.
5. When to wear what? The look sans-jacket is perfect for work. The full look is great for a holiday shopping run and meeting a friend for coffee in the late afternoon/early evening. The look sans jacket & sheer layered top is great for the cocktail party (especially if it's sleeveless).

Events of 2011 will continue to shape the Oil and Gas industry in 2012
LONDON, MOSCOW, 6 February 2012 – Key events and trends in 2011 frame EY's Oil & Gas expectations for 2012. Issues such as geopolitical upheaval, the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, high oil prices, as well as environmental and safety concerns have all provided real challenges in the period under review. On a more positive note, shale gas developments have surged ahead in China, Poland and Argentina.
Dale Nijoka, EY's Global Oil & Gas Leader says, "The past 12 months have been extremely volatile in the Oil & Gas industry. While political risk remains a key concern, unexpected disasters have also sent oil and gas companies back to the drawing board, with the focus being very much on alternative options to nuclear power, natural gas in particular."
1. Geopolitical upheaval impacts oil prices
Oil prices could increase from rising global geopolitical concerns. While the dynamics of last year's "Arab Spring" continue, an even larger risk is the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 17 million barrels of oil travel daily. Political instability also continues in other key oil exporting countries like Venezuela and Nigeria. Additional impacts may come from upcoming elections in oil-producing countries in CIS, the Middle East and South America.
2. Fukushima reshapes global energy debate
Japan's tragic tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster boosted global gas use in 2011. More importantly however, it has reshaped the longer-term global energy debate. Nuclear power had become a linchpin in the climate change strategy, but it now faces major scepticism which stands to positively impact long-term prospects for natural gas.
3. High oil prices despite major economic woes
Despite significant economic problems in the US and Europe, oil prices averaged over US$100/barrel. With the US economy expected to improve in 2012, it is safe to assume that oil prices could rise significantly.
4. Environmental and safety concerns continue to intensify
Just as the industry began to move past the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and concerns regarding environmental and drilling safety were being addressed, a series of other oil spills occurred in 2011. This once again heightened the public's and policymakers' attention on the industry. Additionally, concerns around hydraulic fracturing continue. These include issues related to potential water contamination, as well as questions around the possible linkages of hydraulic fracturing and seismic activity.
5. Unconventional gas boom continues and begins to internationalise
Led by shale gas output, US gas production is surging even as gas-directed drilling has slowed. US gas production is at its highest level in almost 40 years, despite supply and demand imbalance and continued uncertainty around shale production's impacts on air, water and geologic formations. However, many gas producers are concerned about the current very depressed price environment, and in the near term are hoping for some support from a cold winter. Meanwhile, Poland, Argentina, and most importantly, China are moving rapidly ahead in shale gas development.
The continuing global economic uncertainty will continue to influence the Oil & Gas sector over the next quarter. Most importantly, geopolitical issues in the Middle East will continue to impact the sector. This will be balanced with the ongoing investment in the sector and supported by continued transaction activity.

The Scarlets have made eight changes to their starting XV for Saturday's PRO12 clash with Connacht at the Sportsground in Galway.
The Scarlets have made eight changes to their starting XV for Saturday's PRO12 clash with Connacht at the Sportsground in Galway.
Scarlets head coach Simon Easterby brings in a few new faces to his matchday squad and mixes up experience and youth with a number of player rotations for the contest.
Young Scarlets talent Jordan Williams gets his senior Scarlets debut at full-back where he replaces his namesake Liam Williams while new signing Australian Welsh-qualified second row Jake Ball is on the bench and gets his first opportunity to appear in his regional colours.
Wales international centre Jon Davies takes the captain's armband for the first time in his Scarlets rugby career.
Other changes to the back-line from last weekend's run-on side against Glasgow sees Gareth Davies replacing Tavis Knoyle at scrum-half, while Nick Reynolds comes in for Andy Fenby on the wing.
Amongst the forwards, Samson Lee starts at tight-head in his first competitive start and Phil John at loose-head prop, Sione Timani joins Richard Kelly in the second row. Lee takes over from Fiji international Deacon Manu while John and Timani come in for Rhodri Jones and George Earle respectively.
In the back row, Kieran Murphy starts at number eight with Scarlets skipper Rob McCusker on the bench and Josh Turnbull replaces Aaron Shingler on the flank.
Scarlets attack coach Mark Jones expects a tough assignment against Connacht.
"We haven't had a great record at the Sportsground and have tripped up on our last two visits with narrow losses, so we don't put ourselves in a position where we are fighting a tight margin at the end of the game," he said.
"We will need to be ruthless and get ahead and then protect that lead.
"There is certainly no complacency in this side and absolutely no expectation on winning.
"What we expect is for the boys to perform to the level they have this season, improve on the margins and then we are in with a chance.
"Our only expectation is on the performance – that should then take care of the result."
Jones said that the positive start had given the camp at Parc y Scarlets a confidence boost particularly winning over teams that were in the top of the mix last season.
"We've got some tough competition to start us off, if you think that in our first four games we've played three of last year's semi-finalists but that's given us a boost," he explained.
"We knew we needed to get off to a strong start in our first six games.
"Last weekend in Glasgow gave us a better indication of where we were, we did a good defensive job, put the ball in the right areas and nailed our opportunities.
"And it's good to see those chances being taken. Part of our story last season was we just couldn't finish off at key times, but our back three have started very well and it's been good to see seven of our 10 tries this season come from the backs.
"Our centre partnership is working well and it's good that Jonathan (Davies) and Scott (Williams) have had time training together now here at Parc y Scarlets – rather than just with Wales.
"The key thing is that the team is complimenting those strike players; we have good width in our attack and the players are excited to get ball in their hands and are working hard to get onto the ball.
"We have to maintain this type of intent in the group, but so far so good.
"What we also have to focus on is our ability to develop a tighter game as well so we have potent attacking options in other areas of our game, particularly when the weather isn't so good."
Meanwhile, Connacht head coach Eric Elwood has made six changes to his run-on side for the encounter.
Injury has forced an entire new back row and sees Andrew Browne named as blindside flanker.
This is Browne's first game back since he was injured during the 2011 pre-season. Willie Faloon and Eoin McKeon complete the all new back row and replace Johnny O'Connor and George Naopu respectively.
Brett Wilkinson will start in the loosehead prop position while new signing Nathan White gets his first start tomorrow as tighthead prop.
Elsewhere in the backs, Dave McSharry has been promoted to a starting berth, replacing Mata Fifita in the centre.
Elwood was very pleased with his team's performance in their 30-17 win over Zebre in Parma last week but knows there is a lot of work to do this weekend.
"We played well in Zebre scoring three tries away from home and securing our first win of the season," he said.
"The lads showed huge character in Italy, especially when we were forced into making so many changes in the second half.
"Tomorrow poses another challenge as Scarlets are top of the league and are playing very well.
"They've had a great start to the season, scoring 10 tries in the process.
"We will really have to step it up against this Scarlets side but the lads are well up for the challenge."
Form: Connacht gained a first win of the new RaboDirect PRO12 season on Friday when they visited Zebre and triumphed 30-17. Connacht's only win in their last seven matches against Welsh regions was 27-19 against the Dragons at Rodney Parade on 30 March 2012. Scarlets top the PRO12 table for the first time since round three in season 2008/09 following their successive wins over Leinster and Glasgow. The Welshmen have won back to back away games but have not won three in a row on the road in the tournament since 2006/07. The last six clashes between the two sides have all been won by the home side on the day, whilst Scarlets most recent victory at the Sportsground came on 9 January 2009.
The teams:
Connacht: 15 Gavin Duffy (c), 14 Tiernan O'Halloran, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Dave McSharry, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Miah Nikora, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 Eoin McKeon, 7 Willie Faloon, 6 Andrew Browne, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Nathan White, 2 Ethienne Reynecke, 1 Brett Wilkinson.
Replacements: 16 Adrian Flavin, 17 Dennis Buckley, 18 Rodney Ah You, 19 David Gannon, 20 Johnny O'Connor, 21 Dave Moore, 22 Matthew Jarvis, 23 Robbie Henshaw.
Scarlets: 15 Jordan Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies (c), 12 Scott Williams, 11 Nick Reynolds 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Gareth Davies, 8 Kieran Murphy. 7 Johnathan Edwards, 6 Josh Turnbull, 5 Richard Kelly, 4 Sione Timani, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Phil John.

"Love this sandal! Perfect heel height and cushion on sole, so it's comfy. The fabric rubbed just a bit the first time I wore them, but it's fine now. The bottoms are a little slick right out of the box, so scuff them up a bit to avoid slipping."

Previously, if a consumer purchased within 30 days of clicking on a paid search ad, Google called that a conversion. Now marketers get to set the conversion window, explains the CEO of digital marketing firm Sidecar.
The 30-day conversion window has been a staple in Google AdWords—and the many other digital ad platforms trying to model themselves after it. But that's all about to change, now that Google has announced that advertisers can narrow the window down to just seven days, or open it wide, up to 90.
So what does this mean for online retail advertisers?
Different marketing channels have different sales cycles. Some channels might inspire a purchase immediately after an ad click; others could take days, weeks, or even months to convert from ad click to sale. The 30-day window, while previously accepted as the industry norm, made it hard to calculate the true ROI of channels.
By studying the time to purchase of consumers who engage with AdWords, retail advertisers can now determine an average purchase window that makes sense for AdWords. For example, with the old feature, if a purchase were made eight days after the AdWords ad was clicked, it would be easy to attribute this to the AdWords engagement. But with the new feature, if we know that a click from AdWords typically results in a sale in seven days, with the attribution window adjusted accordingly, that eighth-day purchase might be attributable to something else. Or, if we know that it can take as much as 60 days for a conversion, this new feature allows us to attribute that sale on day 56 to the initial AdWords engagement, because for this particular product, the purchase requires more planning and consideration. Think of it like playing Goldilocks in the digital marketing world: one window might be too small, another too big—but one will almost certainly be just right.
Slicing and dicing your data
The above hypotheticals tell you what the new conversion window change can mean for retail marketers, but not why it matters.
With so many places for digital marketers to invest (AdWords, display, SEO, social, etc.), it's essential to be able to connect ad spend with results.
Because the online retail market operates under fierce competition and in nearly-real time, these retailers—and their marketing teams—need the flexibility to align their attribution windows with the nature of their businesses and products, therefore allowing them to not only give credit where it's due, but also re-allocate ad dollars quickly, when something clearly isn't working. Retail advertisers can now play with the window, opening or closing as necessary, and adjusting marketing spend accordingly.
In some ways, you could argue that Google is doing themselves a disservice by allowing advertisers to shorten the window, as it may become apparent that AdWords in fact wasn't as effective as advertisers had thought all along. However, by giving advertisers this level of granular control, they are empowering them to make better decisions, and therefore, fostering a more sophisticated advertising environment—and engendering trust and loyalty.
No longer one timeframe to rule them all
Google's decision to let marketers set their own windows—within reason—shows that the company is aware of how consumers are shopping online, and how marketers need to capture this behavior. Much as its new Gmail tabs feature shows that the company understands the best time to reach potential shoppers via email, this change shows that Google is advancing its understanding of how buying decisions are being made; when consumers engage with various channels; and what information e-commerce sites need to glean from these decisions in order to keep investing in the Google network. It would have been easy for Google to keep the 30-day conversion window in AdWords, and marketers would have gone along with it, at least for the time being. But this change shows a real willingness on Google's part to grow with its customers. And, with other sites like Facebook offering as narrow as a one-day window, perhaps it shows Google's desire to keep up with, and even surpass, the options offered by competitors.
Sidecar provides automated systems for managing paid search, comparison shopping sites, on-site personalization and personalized e-mail marketing.

But you couldn't say she was fully able to explain it at a public meeting last night, given that she significantly downplayed the availability of subsidized housing to middle-income tenants.
She suggested that affordable housing for families of four would be limited to households earning up to about $90,000.
Actually, affordable housing would be available to those earning up to 160% of Area Median Income (AMI), or $126,720 for a family of four.
That means rents near or above $2000 a month for most affordable units (for four persons), under even the most optimistic scenario. As I wrote in August, with an AMI of $79,200, a four-person household would have to pay the following (at the top of each band from the MOU):
- Band 1: $792
- Band 2: $990
- Band 3: $1980
- Band 4: $2772
- Band 5: $3168
The meeting, held at Borough Hall, mainly concerned the planned plaza outside the Barclays Center arena. Despite drawing more than 70 people, the meeting ran only 90 minutes, rather than two hours, before questions ran out.
The video below shows Gilmartin answering two questions about affordable housing. In the first, she's asked how many units would be built in the first building, and the first phase: the three residential towers on the arena block.
Her response was factual, reprising what has been publicly stated. "Forest City's overall commitment is 30% of the units that are built" on the arena block," she said. "About 1000 units of housing are planned; we are committed to 300.
The first residential building, B2, has between 380 and 400 units and could have a 50% level of affordability, she said, so that could mean 200 units online.
The follow-up
She was asked the definition of affordable housing.
"The definition of affordable housing as outlined by housing agencies," Gilmartin responded, noting that 100% of AMI is for a family of four is $79,200.
"What we do from that... families of four... making anywhere from 30,000 dollars a year to approximately 90,000 dollars a year would qualify for the housing based on those guidelines," she said.
But that significantly evades the actual configuration.
Note that, under one scenario for the first building, the affordable housing would go up only to 150% of AMI, or $118,800 for a family of four.

Di2 Reference Guide
Note: This reference is meant to be used as a guide for creating a Shimano Di2 drivetrain package. For further assistance please feel free to give us a call.
Battery and Wires:
Our Shimano Di2 packages are built for three standard configurations based on battery location and wire routing. First, you'll need to determine if your frame uses an internal or external battery mount, and whether the routing is either internal or external. Below is a guide for which battery, charger, mount, and junction boxes are required for your configuration.
|Battery Charger
|Battery Mount
|Junction A
|Junction B
External Battery
w/ External Routing
|SM-EW90 A/B 3/5 port
External Battery
w/ Internal Routing
|SM-EW90 A/B 3/5 port
Internal Battery
w/ Internal Routing
|SM-EW90 A/B 3/5 port
Battery Mounts:
The SM-BMR2 battery mount is available in three configurations -- Long External, Short External, and Long Internal. Both Long versions are to be mounted using the bottle cage mounts, while the Short version is designed for Di2-specific frames with either a chainstay or down tube mounting location.
There are two junctions needed for completing your Di2 build -- A and B. Junction A, SM-EW90, is located at the handlebars and available in both three- and five-port options. The three-port option is intended for standard shifting with a left and right hand shifter. If you have the intention of using Shimano's satellite sprint shifters, or a combination of time trial shifters and shifter/brake levers, the five-port junction box will be the necessary selection.
Depending on your frame specification, Junction B (SM-JC40 or SM-JC41) is located either internally or externally at the bottom bracket area. Accordingly, SM-JC41 is designed for frames with internal wire routing, while SM-JC40 is intended for external wiring options.
E-Tube Wires:
For your convenience, we've created wire packages for your Di2 build kit in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large. Below, you'll find which wire lengths are included in each kit. Additionally, we've recommended a kit size based on your frame size.
|Down Tube Wire
|Front Derailleur Wire
|Rear Derailleur Wire
|Battery Wire

Reviews & Community
Durable wire!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's the only wire you can get for connecting di2 components, but the quality is there, great and very durable.
Shimano E-Tube Di2 Wire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
shockingly durable little wire that connects your components
A little long for the D-Fly
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Purchased this to connect the D-Fly until to the rear derailleur. it is a little long. It would be great if CC stocked the 250 mm or 200 mm lengths
they have 250, but not 200mm - bummer!
E-Z does it.
Electronic shifting...it's a thing of beauty! You'll need a few of these to complete any Di2 setup. If you have any questions on what you need, please give our customer service "Gearhead" team a call!
no issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
connections seem very secure and fits great inside my bike. I would certainly purchase this item again!
About as easy as it gets
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Even though the E-Tube wiring has been around for a while, I still hear fears of use and concerns about durability. I've had the good fortune to build, test and unfortunately crash E-Tube equipped bikes for a couple years now and between the ease of setup and surprising durability of the system, I'm constantly impressed by how well it works. Wireless is the future, but until then we're in good hands!
Does it come with the wire holder? How many with each wire?
What is the length of The front wire harness ?
any link to the product?

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
i am amazed how robust this wire is and how well it fits neatly inside the frame. i was kind of hesitant about electrical wire on a road bike. but shimano did a great job of building very robust protective shield around the major wires for protection. it is not easy to cut one of these wire's unless you deliberately set out to do just that. Good product and it looks like it will last a long time.
