Tammy's Total Harmony-Massage & Biofeedback
February 4, 2013 by Judy Trull
When we purchased the Lindsay House 8+ years ago, I was excited to be part of a small community as well as part of a thriving business community. I met Tammy through the Manawa Chamber of Commerce and liked her right away. What's not to like, she is a massage therapist and passionate about her client's ultimate health and incorporating her extensive knowledge and she is hungry to learn more to be able to better assist them to that end. Tammy and I have worked together off and on over the time that we have owned our Bed and Breakfast, we always want to offer a full relaxation experience and massage fits right into that philosophy.
Tammy talks to her clients' regarding any areas of concern or pain that they have prior to beginning their massage, and many people may not know that she offers different types of massages as well.
Guests will sometimes request that the massages take place here at the Inn, and we set up a common area upstairs and screen it off so that it offers more privacy, and guests enjoy that Tammy will visit the Inn and give them their massages right here.
If you would like to add a therapeutic massage with Tammy to your stay at Lindsay House Bed and Breakfast, mention it when your making your reservation by phone, or when booking on-line just add it into the special requests field.
For those of you who are more local, contact Tammy at Total Harmony-Massage & Biofeedback give her a call at 920-878-0123 to schedule your massage. Tammy Total Harmony-Massage & Biofeedback is also on Facebook, and you can visit her website at http://www.totalharmony.vpweb.com/.

Since its inception 21 years ago under the brilliant leadership of Lawrence W. Reed and others, the Mackinac Center has championed freedom and liberty for all law-abiding peoples. The Iranians' fight for freedom dominates current headlines, and the film "The Stoning of Soraya M.," released June 26, depicts the inherent horrors of a nation where a significant portion of society is treated as second-class citizens. The film's focus is on the repression of women, but the oppression of additional segments of Iran's population has been well-documented elsewhere.
Based on French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam's international bestseller of the same name, "The Stoning of Soraya M." tells the true story of an innocent woman stoned to death for adultery because she refuses to grant her husband the divorce he seeks so that he can marry a 14-year-old girl. The story's structure resembles director John Sturges' 1955 classic, "Bad Day at Black Rock," where an outsider chances upon a town with a murderous secret that culminates in a violent climax.
Like the Sturges film, "Soraya M." also presents a powerful social message.
"By dealing with the topic of the lack of liberties and freedom, particularly for women, we can accurately show what the world is like if you don't enjoy what we have here," said producer Stephen McEveety in a phone interview conducted June 10. McEveety added that the film is "a celebration of liberty and freedom - especially in America where we sometimes take them for granted. I believe that it makes you value what you have."
The movie's R-rating is for the brutality of the climactic scene. Potential viewers should be forewarned that the term "stoning" in the title is anything but metaphorical.
"The story that was presented to me blew me away," McEveety said. "You can't underplay what people who are stoned to death go through or else the audience will undervalue the suffering. We tried to depict the violence in a way that showed both our respect for the victim and for the audience. I think the result is a perfect balance, but yes, occasionally some people leave the theater."
McEveety, who also produced "The Passion of the Christ" — which drew critical rebukes for its violence — claimed that despite the stoning, the real cruelty in "Soraya M." is psychological.
"This film has far less violence than 'Passion of the Christ,'" he said. "However, there's psychological abuse in this film that's equally powerful. It's the type that we see and ignore every day in every city and every nation of the world."
This psychological abuse is concomitant with the abridgement of liberties. Despite many restrictions, the men in the small Iranian village enjoy far more freedom than their female counterparts, and the women live in fear for their lives if they draw the ire of their paternalistic mullahs, politicians, husbands and sons. Likewise, men who fall into disfavor are incentivized to perjure themselves or otherwise throw women under the bus to save themselves.
The film's point, however, isn't to depict in a cartoonish manner all men as evil and all women as victims. What it does portray very effectively is the high costs paid by any society arrogant and autocratic enough to abrogate what our founding fathers wisely categorized as an individual's inalienable rights.
For most of us at the Mackinac Center, Independence Day is the highest of secular holidays, a day commemorating our nation's independence from British rule and a celebration of the many freedoms we enjoy as U.S. citizens. It is also a day when we recognize that the struggle for freedom is perpetual, and that many nations yearn for relief from tyranny. Freedom is illusory if each and every person cannot exercise them in the same fashion. "The Stoning of Soraya M." helps viewers realize that the only true freedom is freedom for all.

So, a rap blogger recently went and posted a few amazing youtube clips in a series called "Goons Of The Industry" regarding people with music industry connections as well as criminal ties.
Essential watching just for the absurdly amazing score. First off, shout out a video on youtube that both references one of my childhood hometown's greatest moments of tragicomedy: Two gangs actually having a shoot-out in the middle of seeing Godfather III and realizing their foes are right there. Also one of my best friend's older cousins makes a cameo in one of these photos which was very jarring.
Anyway, there's a similar thread not too far off in subject matter from here, but I ended up musing all weekend on the function of a 'gang' in the criminal capacity (as opposed to the idea of a gang just being a 'band' of friends) and that whole culture. I've openly rambled about how in American Gang culture Mafioso rituals which are holdovers from ancient Papal Knight rituals (where you can find a lineage from the Knights of Malta to the classic Sicilian Mafia) end up somehow arriving into Black Gang Culture. Naturally, those rituals as well as the symbology should never ever get in the hands of a group who are by circumstance utterly isolated from what is an ethnocentric criminal organization, but so much of it does.
I know everyone loves to play in the whole ramble of "OH CAPITALISM THE ENNOBLED ROBBER" and blah blah blah, but I think sometimes we don't think about the social functions of gangs that are bridged around identity. There is a ethnocentric or occupational organization, as basically your larger gangs are essentially 'thieves guilds' to a certain extent. There's the sense of family which is of course psychoanalyzed to death but has historical applications in family communities who occasionally resort to violence in history but never are seen as Gangs or Criminal Organizations even if they commit crimes, until... Perhaps the modern age?
No real proper questions to bring up besides some curiousity how it works in Most Of The Board's home nation, as they do films about the likes of the Krays or Yardies, but naturally it must occur to this day on more continuous extents (Giggs whole ties to the PYG's being an obvious indicator).

Yellow Butterflies
My grandpa passed away last week. He was by far the coolest person I knew. His favorite color was yellow. For his funeral tomorrow, everyone will be wearing a yellow accent. Since my kids and I don't have any Funeral worthy, yellow accessories, I made us these yellow butterfly hair-clips & pins. I miss you grandpa!

TransCanada has reaffirmed its plan to restart the Keystone oil pipeline from Canada to the Midwest on Saturday, although rainy weather is hampering the company's on-site work.
TransCanada shut down the 2,100-mile pipeline Wednesday after tests showed possible safety issues. Company spokesman Shawn Howard said Friday that no leaks have been detected but declined to provide more specifics until the pipeline is inspected.
The pipeline carries about 590,000 barrels of crude per day from Canada to facilities in the Midwest. The potential problems were detected in a section of the line between Missouri and Illinois.
Heavy rains were affecting efforts to move equipment into the area so workers could excavate the pipeline for inspection. Howard said in an email that TransCanada still expects oil to begin flowing through the pipeline again sometime Saturday.
A federal inspector has been sent to the site to review test results, observe repairs and monitor any additional necessary safety issues, according to Jeannie Layson, a spokeswoman for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, which oversees pipelines in the U.S.,
The temporary closure isn't expected to affect refinery production or retail gas prices because crude supplies are plentiful across the U.S.
Howard said it is unclear what impact the pipeline's closure may have TransCanada customers. He said crude should flow at normal rates once the pipeline is restarted, although the company may have to make up some volume in November.
The shutdown comes amid delays over TransCanada's plans to build a $7 billion pipeline called the Keystone XL that would transport heavy tar-sands crude oil from Canada to Texas' Gulf Coast refineries.
Opponents warn the new pipeline would be carrying heavy, acidic crude oil that could more easily corrode a metal pipe and lead to a spill. TransCanada says its pipeline would be the safest ever built.

Two San Diegans were atop the leader boards and one more was sitting in third place entering their respective final rounds at the Junior World Championships yesterday.
But only two of the locals were able to bring home hardware.
Corey Shaun held onto a five-stroke lead to win the Boys 11-12 division, while Norman Xiong posted a stunning final round to spring from third place to first, shooting a six-under par 56 to win Boys 9-10.
Ricky DeSantis of Carlsbad couldn't hold onto his one-stroke lead on the final day in Boys 13-14 and finished in third place.
The drama was absent in Shaun's final round – he didn't allow the field to gain any ground, shooting a three-under par 70 to win his first Junior World title by four strokes at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo.
"Having the big lead was nice and I'd rather have that lead towards the end of the round instead of winning by one, even if it wasn't an exciting finish," he said.
Shaun, 12, said he was "really nervous" entering his final round with the lead. But those butterflies disappeared when he birdied the first two holes.
"This week I've been putting really well, and that was the major difference for me," he said. "I've always hit the ball well, but I could never make putts. This week they were actually dropping."
DeSantis, 14, stayed atop the leader boards all afternoon until his 16th hole, No. 7, at Riverwalk Golf Club, where a double-bogey took him off the lead.
After a textbook drive, DeSantis hooked his approach shot to the left. His ball bounced under a tree, leading to an awkward chip-shot that landed short of the green.
"I practice shots from everywhere, and that's one of the shots you can't really prepare for," he said. "It's just something you have to deal with. You can't make excuses, but it was still a very difficult shot."
Desantis' tournament was highlighted by his spectacular first round. He sank nine birdies for an eight-under par 64, the lowest score recorded at Riverwalk during the tournament.
"I was just in the zone and everything was dropping," DeSantis said. "I couldn't miss."
Despite finishing one stroke off the lead with a three-over par 75 in his final round, DeSantis said it was a "great tournament" for him.
"I had a bad hole today and I've just got to learn from it," he said. "It's not like I'm playing for a million dollars."
Xiong, 10, won by five strokes at Welk Resort.
Kota Murakami of Japan shot a 3-over par 165 to win the Boys 6-under. Arlene Salvador of Palmdale shot a 15-over par 177 to win the Girls 6-under. In the 7-8 division, Wenliang Xie of China posted a 1-over par 175 to take home the title and Isabella Fierro of Mexico won the girls title with a 7-over par 181.
Nichakorn Muangkhum of Thailand won the Girls 9-10 at with a 3-over par 171.
Marijosse Navarro of Mexico shot a 6-under 213 to win the Girls 11-12.
Ki Taek Lee of Redlands won the Boys 13-14 division in a playoff after shooting a 6-under par 210. Suchaya Tangkamolprasert of Thailand shot a 9-under par 207 to win the Girls 13-14.
The 15-17 age groups will play their final round today. Kurt Kitayama of Chico leads the boys with an even-par 216, while Jang Ha-Na of Korea leads the girls with a 7-under 215.
Alex DiFilippo is a Union-Tribune intern.

Even someone who didn't watch a single UCLA basketball game last season can gain some sense of Travis Wear's playing style. Just take a look at the stats.
Despite standing at 6-foot-10, 230 pounds, Wear attempted 70 percent of his shots on 2-point jumpers. No other Bruin took above 54 percent. While he averaged a respectable 42 percent on those shots, one of his goals this offseason is to gain strength to better play down low.
Head coach Steve Alford hasn't explicitly told Wear he'll play center, but the rising senior doesn't see much of an alternative.
"Obviously, you look at the bigs, you have me, Dave (Wear), Tony (Parker) — we're all going to be guarding fours and fives," he said. "Somebody's going to play the five at some point. It's gonna happen."
How much Travis Wear actually does shift his game inside likely depends on the development of Parker, the team's lone true big man at 6-foot-9, 270 pounds. After a freshman year that saw him go from a touted recruit to a constant benchwarmer, he mulled a transfer but committed to staying at UCLA under the new coaching staff.
So far, his performance has been positive. The addition of full-time strength coach Wes Long is helping him trim down. Assistant Ed Schilling stresses ballhandling at the beginning of each workout, ensuring that every player — no matter what size — builds those same skills.
"It's a fresh start for him," Wear said. "He's working hard. He's really doing everything he has to, doing 100 percent in the workouts, doing extra conditioning with Wes so he can get in better shape. From everything I've seen so far, he's looking good."

I get tired of trying to explain memes to people here who've never heard of them. Does anybody know of good links that introduce the basic concepts for ordinary folks? Wikipedia is too abstract, detailed, and historical. I need memetics 101. Also, the books I used are a bit outdated. Anybody have a list of current introductory memetics books?
Views: 211
I like Susan Blackmore's The Meme Machine, 2000, Oxford University Press.
That does look like a good place to start, Steph. I've read The Meme Machine and Virus of the Mind, but I'll spend some time reading this site as well.
Ruth, Susan's The Meme Machine is the Bible of Memetics. A must read to understand what it's all about. She has a TED lecture that's very good also. My book, Mirror Reversal, is one of the few novels I know of with a glossary of terms in the back. The only others are 1984 and Clockwork Orange. (Not bad company.)
It's a terrible shame the way memetics has been pooh-poohed and downplayed by the academic community. It sure works for me and explains a lot. Check out my video on youtube on "endmeme".
I believe the reason memetics has failed as a science is because the majority of the people on the world don't like hearing that their most dear and profound religious beliefs are nothing more than the paracitism of a computer virus.
Susan's TED lecture is excellent as a way to contextualise memetics in today's chronoscopic society.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I got my book from Amazon Today -- here's the website for the book
The God Virus:
How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture
By Darrel W. Ray, Ed.D.

These bite size burgers/rolls/sandwiches was the much needed hit of 'naughty' food we needed to line our stomachs! Having one pork and one chicken variety we were only able to have a bit of each but my goodness it was delectable. The crunch of the meat and the tanginess of the sauce was enough to make you want to order 6 more and we had to restrain ourselves from doing just that.
(Now say that really fast!) Pickled goodies are great. Nice acidic flavours, tanginess and how can you say no to pickled chillies? Well I can because I am a chilli wussbag, Demos can't so I watched eagerly as everyone got their pickle on.
Two fantastic dishes were up for grabs here. The prawn toast was soft and spongy and what I would imagine eating a prawn flavoured cloud would be. Egg noodles were a favourite, especially when the egg is broken in and mixed with the XO sauce. Only there was one problem; for those of you that know me and regularly read our escapades you can already guess what this is. Coriander. When combined with alcohol this most common of asian herbs just kills me. Literally. And Anthony knows this because back in the day he had once taken me to hospital after a huge coriander attack - true story!
Bianca and Anthony were well stuck into the clams, so we decided to leave them alone seeing as though they were enjoying it. We gathered that it would've been a tasty dish and would love to try it when we go back.
This would have to be one of the best deserts ever and was like a piece of art, too bad it didn't last that way for very long. The combination of crispy chocolate rice bubble brownies, doughnut flavoured ice cream, marshmallows and peanut brittle gets the blood sugar levels up just thinking about it. It was a textural delight with the crunch and the goo.

Easter lamb for one. Or two. A recipe for grilled marinated lamb
Lamb's a popular choice for Easter, especially a slow-roast leg of lamb. However, unless you're cooking a big Easter feast, buying and cooking a whole leg for a small family isn't really sensible or economical. Here's a dish that can be successfully cooked for one, or two (or more, if you wish so). It's from Nigel Slater's excellent book Real Food. Nigel suggests a potato gratin (esp. his stove-top Dauphinoise with Pancellta and Rocket) as an accompaniment. I have always loved the combination of lamb and cabbage, and as I had bought a new season's cabbage, I served the lamb with simple sauteéd cabbage. A wonderfully satisfying and light spring-time meal.
Grilled marinated lamb
(Marineeritud ja grillitud tallefilee)
Serves 2 to 4
2-4 lamb fillets, depending on size and the number of eaters
4 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 Tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dried Herbes de Provence seasoning
freshly ground black pepper
Cut _almost_ through each lamb fillet horizontally, then open it up as a book. Place on a cutting board, hit with a knife a few more times here and there to flatten the meat and to allow the marinade to soak through. Put onto a deep plate or a bowl.
Put the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, herbs and pepper into a small jar, cover and shake until well combined. Pour over the lamb fillets, giving the meat a good massage :) Cover the plate with a clingfilm and leave in a cool place to marinade for at least an hour, preferably 24 hours.
To cook the lamb, heat a ridged grill pan until smoking hot. Place the lamb on the pan, press down with a back of a spoon and leave for a couple of minutes until the lamb fillet is golden and crusted underneath. Flip around and cook from the other side as well. The lamb should remain nicely pink inside.
Leave to rest for a few minutes, then cut into thin slices and serve.

Lamb is a meat I get excited about. I don't eat it as much as I did growing up but I get to appreciate its wonders more that way. This one looks juicy, tender and full of flavor.

Watermelon Iced Tea Drink Recipe
07.14.11 by Jackie
It's watermelon season again, which means that it's supposed to be really wam here in Northern California, but alas, we're experiencing another cold spell. For those of you enjoying balmier temperatures, I present my incredibly refreshing watermelon iced tea drink.
I flavored the drink with fresh mint and agave nectar; you could omit the syrup depending on the sweetness of the watermelon. In addition to being delicious, this refreshing drink has multiple health benefits thanks to the green tea. It really is the perfect summer drink!

In Growing Up Guggenheim, Peter Lawson-Johnstona Guggenheim himself, and the board president who oversaw the transformation of the renowned museum from a local New York institution to a global art ventureshares a personal memoir that includes intimate portraits of the five people principally responsible for the entire Guggenheim art legacy.
In addition to first-hand biographical accounts of his grandfather Solomon Guggenheim (the museum's founder), his cousin Harry (Solomon's successor), and his famously rebellious cousin Peggy (whose magnificent Venice art collection he helped bring under New York Guggenheim management), the author tells the stories of long-time museum director Thomas Messer, who initiated the bold expansion of Frank Lloyd Wright's original museum building, and current director Thomas Krens, whose controversial tenure has featured such innovations as the Guggenheim's wildly successful first international outpost in Bilbao, Spain, and exhibits devoted to fashion and motorcycles.
Lawson-Johnston also traces his own career, from his first job as sales manager of a remote feldspar mine, to his rapid ascent to the family summit, to his extension of the Guggenheim legacy in ways none of his predecessors could have envisioned. Despite his native and tangible humility, this evocative narrative makes clear Lawson-Johnston's indispensable role as the loyal steward of one of America's most famous family enterprises.
Additional Information
|ISI Books
|What They're Saying...
"Growing Up Guggenheim is a tour de force, an enthralling story told with a directness that combines candor, humor, insight, and reflection. Peter Lawson-Johnston has proven the brilliant shrewdness that led Harry Guggenheim to pick him, an unheralded cousin, to lead a new generation of an extraordinary family. The author's talent has ennobled the entire Guggenheim clan and has enriched the worlds of art and business with an entrepreneurial energy and commitment that presents a magnificent challenge to those who succeed to his responsibilities."
"This is a 'can't put it down' book of extraordinary and surprising revelations by a Guggenheim about the private lives of that fabulous and opulent family."
"A splendid book, original, readable, dramatic, and instructive. Here is a book autobiographical in form but focusing not so much on the author as on the institution associated with his family's famous name: Guggenheim. We learn of the idea of the museum, of the ambitious and sometime irritating developers of it, of the triumph of the museum built by Frank Lloyd Wright in New York, and its eye-stopping successor in Bilbao. The development of museums, at the hectic and yet inspired pace at which they are being created, is a part of the American story: and here is a brilliant tale of a remarkable institution."
"Peter Lawson-Johnston gives us the ultimate insider's view on the movers and shakers behind a great American art legacy. Warm, candid, firsthand profiles, from museum founder Solomon Guggenheim to the irrepressible Peggy Guggenheim and her Venice-based art collection to Tom Krens, New York City's museum visionary and controversial current director. Essential and highly enjoyable reading for anyone interested in what has become a global art enterprise."
"[A]n unexpectedly poignant memoir of personal integrity and inner strength triumphing over the burdens that often are the true legacy of America's great fortunes."

Notice to Members 02-19
SEC Review of Auditor Independence Rules
During 2001, NASD Regulation conducted certain reviews that showed that an auditor's independence with respect to its broker/ dealer client was impaired. The staff required broker/dealers to restrict the nature of the services obtained from their accountant or employ a different and independent outside auditor. To provide background and guidance on auditor independence to our member firms, this Notice discusses the issues considered by the SEC and summarizes specific amendments we believe most relevant to NASD members. It also discusses the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) current rules regarding certain auditor independence issues to highlight certain conclusions reached by the SEC. Finally, in this Notice, we focus on criteria that firms should consider in determining whether an auditor's independence may be impaired. The NASD Regulation staff will use the same criteria in determining whether an auditor's independence is impaired in any given situation.
Questions about this Notice may be directed to Andrew Labadie at (202) 728-8397 or Susan DeMando at (202) 728-8411, Member Regulation, NASD Regulation.

Ive had the bike for about 2-3 months and ride 2-3 times a week a patapsco state park, MD as well as other trails in that area! The bike handles excellent and can take a pretty harsh beating...Patapsco is no cake walk! The gearing ratio is awesome for up hill climbing, there always seems to be one more gear. the suspension functions great over rock gardens and large obstacles, and the lock-out is extremely convienient for road riding between trails!

This is a great entry 29er from Trek. At 6'2 in height my 21.5 inch EX 5 fits great and and is still nimble and I can ride fast and technical single track trails. This bike climbs and descends with confidence. I purchased because it fit great and shares the frame of the higher component models. Unless you are use to a higher component group they components are solid. My dealer set up and support has been excellent.

Absolutely amazing bike. This is my first Full Suspension bike and it doesn't get much better then this. I originally spent a lot of time researching bikes before coming into the store as I had not ridden Hard Trails in almost 5 years. I also seem to have toyitous as I buy a lot of things use them temporally and store them. Seeing as that might be the case I went hunting on craigslist being completely disappointed by what I found. I then decided that a $500 - $700 dollar bike from Trek would probably be ok and headed down to the Santa Rosa Trek Store. It took about 15 minutes to get service however it was a Saturday and the store was busy so no sweat gave me some time to look around. Kenny one of the service reps freed up and came right over. I told him what I was thinking about and we went right through the selection process. Now mind you I did say $500-$700 dollar price range and ended up with a $2,200 dollar Full Suspension bike. But I believe its been the best purchase I've made all year. Kenny was extremely patient considering how many questions I had; answered all of them well or if he didn't know the answer he would consult what I will call the "Trekpedia" the book seriously looked like it would have some information on how to turn your bike into a transformer. And he would give me a very honest black and white answer "without" any sales trash... I used to work in corporate sales so needless to say I hate sales people. After working through a dozen or so bikes I decided to move up my budget to see what more I would be getting and man was I surprised. I instantly noticed what Kenny was saying when we moved to a better series of bike... disc breaks, Derailleur, Cassette, Air Suspension, and so on. The deference is night and day... I will say that I couldn't be more impressed by the quality build of the bike and the outstanding service at this store. I walked in at 11:50 am and walked out at 4 pm. Kenny spent 4 hours helping me find a bike that I would be happy with and checked out the bike before I left the store. Even at that point another associate Jake came over to help and was also extremely knowledgeable and polite. He suggested a pair of riding pants which I will say he illiterately saved me a excessive amount of pain making the trail ride much more enjoyable. Now for the Bike I still had enough time left in the day to head out to Annadel and hit some tough terrain. I have been running there for the last several weeks and I guess because I have not had an opportunity to use a bike on the trails to which I had the ability to use my own two feet. I didn't really realize that the trails I've been running on are more more closely related to some kind of deep forest jungle running that you would find in the Amazon Rain Forest. This bike slaughtered rocks, boulders, roots, and hills. Felt more like I was traveling across a sheet of ice with some amazing obstacles then a bike ride. I really don't think I would be standing here if I had picked up a Trek 3500, 3700, 3900, or even the ex-caliber 9 which was also a bike I was looking at. Not saying that their not still good bikes but its all about their usage. And when your tearing your face off traveling 30 mph down hill grinding though boulders the size of basket balls and roots that make a bed of nails look friendly you better have the right equipment. The only downside which I'm not really sure if it really is a downside is the fact that the front fork is spring and not Air. I'm having a hard time really seeing it as an issue Kenny did say that the recoil is different from spring to air but as a beginner trail rider I think this bike is the beez & neez of the entry level FS bikes. But don't take my word for it go to the Santa Rosa Trek store this place rocks. ooooooo! and one more thing I have to mention which is a little odd but definitely adds to the joy of owning a bike designed for technical trail riding is the community. I swear I've never meet so many happy and friendly people in one of the most remote areas of Santa Rosa its like a cult of avid cyclists. I think I was waved to more then a dozen times from people walking on the trails, told to have a good ride by other cyclists and ended up getting into a downhill race with some crazy downhill extremest. Seeing as I haven't ridden in a while I'm struggling a little with uphill technical riding and had to stop once or twice to prevent myself self from face planting and if a cyclist was riding by they would stop to make sure your ok... I mean who does that! I think my car has been hit at least three times a year while parked every year since I can remember. No one even puts a sorry note on the window or you get rear-ended and the first thing our of their mouth is "it wasn't my fault". And there you have it you want to create world peace just put the cyclists in charge. Anyways thanks a bunch Santa Rosa Trek I know I'll be stopping in again soon...

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 22, 2013) – ETSU men's basketball head coach Murry Bartow announced Monday that the Buccaneers have officially received a national letter of intent from point guard Devin Harris (Tampa, Fla.).
Bartow said the 6-foot-4, 195-pound guard is a player that the Bucs were aiming for throughout the 2012-13 recruiting season. He averaged 15.5 points, six rebounds, five assists, and shot 76 percent from the foul line during his senior year at Jesuit High School, helping lead his team to a Florida Class 5A state championship.
"We targeted Devin early on and watched him throughout the year," Bartow said. "He's a lead guard who is a great facilitator and can score the basketball. He's a great kid from a great high school program, and he's surrounded by a wonderful family. When you think of student-athlete, he would be it in every sense of the word."
Harris said he is pleased to be a Buccaneer.
"I selected ETSU because it was the right fit for me on and off the court," Harris said. "I also had a great time on my official visit and had fun with the team. The coaching staff has always been honest with me and have been recruiting me since the beginning and were the first to offer me."
Bartow was quick to point out Harris' basketball lineage. His brother Ramon played at Kentucky from 2006-10 and Devin played high school basketball under head coach Neal Goldman at highly-successful Jesuit.
Goldman had a plethora of positive things to say about the younger Harris brother.
"I am pretty certain that I have not coached a better overall basketball player than Devin Harris," Goldman said. "The great players care, the great players strive for perfection, the great players know how to take their level of play to another gear when the game is on the line, and the great players have the ability to draw the best out of their teammates. That great player for us was Devin Harris."
Harris joins a pair of new Buccaneers already signed to the 2013-14 recruiting class, a group that includes Maurice O'Field (Cleveland, Ohio) and A.J. Merriweather (Jackson). For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the offseason, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

New Delhi, Nov 10:Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is upset after he left behind his laptop in a hotel room in Florence.
"Major tragedy! My valet forgot to pack my laptop in Florence, and I have landed in the Isles without it, livid and most upset. Luckily my CEO was still in Italy and has found it and shall be able to get it back but only when I reach Mumbai and home," Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com.
Despite that, the 70-year-old made sure he still connects with his extended family.
"My hotel in the Isles has very kindly given me a working Mac and I am writing this on it, and shall then have to email it to my digital team in Mumbai and they shall load it up on the Blog and Twitter and the FB!" he added.
The actor was in Florence to attend the 12th edition of River to River Florence Indian Film Festival.

Introducing the VAM site. Until now, we have never had a dedicated, branded experience to showcase militia member's work. Their reels and bios are scattered across the web, making it difficult to quickly review talent with potential clients.
We want YOU to design the pages.
Target Audience: BRANDS
Our clients are brands that need to trust us with their identities. Their experience on the site needs to be clean, comfortable, direct, inviting, convenient and intuitive.
Our clients range from all sorts of markets. Packaged goods, beauty, eCommerce, content subscription sites, real estate, etc.
When they see this site, they should feel comfortable.
The Video Army website is currently getting updated so the background graphics match the overview video (http://vimeo.com/18311443).
Your assignment:
Design the 2 web pages that match the 2 wireframes. The VAM site's sole purpose is to showcase video work. This fully represents our Production Force service.
- Match wireframes
- Use provided Video Army logo and Production Force logos against black (illustrator files have color swatch information)
The best representation of the Video Army brand is the Overview video: http://vimeo.com/18311443
- use this for design, style, tone, color palette
- our website is currently being refitted to match this video's design
Wireframes are also provided as a guide.
Creative Realm:
- overall tone should be bright and inviting, but definitive palette is up to you. Leaning towards cleaner whites BUT very open to seeing darker, blacker versions if it looks amazing
- background images should showcase the videos in a creative way, would love to see elements that resemble the "video assembly line" from the Overview Video, time 1:09.
- integration of logo with Production Force icon in upper left corner
- design should feel very crisp, streamlined, and fun. Clients should really enjoy their time navigating the pages.
Homepage (see wireframes attached)
- logo in upper left
- Left column with text fields
- framing that showcases for video box
- bottom field for text details
Bio Page (see wireframes attached)
- left column with text fields
- 2nd inset column for names will be dynamic element
- video player box
- video description box
- Member bio section
The site's backgrounds are being updated to closely match the Overview Video. Do not like the dark, uninviting artwork for the majority of pages.
We do like the video centric design, clean black "letter box" header and footer.

Malala Yousafzai did not trade in her modest head scarf for a pair of skinny jeans. She wanted to go to school.
For that, the Taliban tried to kill her. When her attackers learned that the freckled 14-year-old Pakistani might survive, they promised to finish the job. Malala, they explained, had been "promoting Western culture."
The Taliban has committed all manner of atrocities over the years, many of them aimed at women. This time, the militants created an icon for a global movement — for the notion that the most efficient way to propel developing countries is to educate their girls. The idea has been flourishing in some of the world's most destitute and volatile places. Today, courtesy of the Pakistani Taliban, it has a face.
"People think 'Western values' is wearing jeans and sipping pop. Malala was doing none of that," said Murtaza Haider, a Pakistan native and the associate dean of research and graduate programs at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto's Ryerson University. "All she said was: 'Would you be kind enough to reopen my school?' This is what the Taliban thinks is a 'Western value.' This is not a Western value. This is a universal value."

- Review: GAME OF THRONES Season 2 Ready for War
HERE THERE BE DRAGONS2 of 12In what was perhaps the most indelible image of the Game Of Thrones Season One finale, Daenerys Targaryen, Khaleesi of the Dothraki and last (remembered) living member of the ousted ruling family, emerges from the ashes of her husband's funeral pyre completely unharmed and in the company of three dragon hatchlings. Paralleling her own development over the course of the first season, the dragon's eggs came into her possession as valuable although thought lifeless relics of the past until tested in fire.
Long thought extinct, dragons were crucial in House Targaryen's original ascent to the Iron Throne. Before the power of their dragons, all the people of Westeros swore allegiance to Daenerys' ancestors until the species died out and passed into legend. Without the dragons, the Targaryens held onto power in the traditional means until the actions of the Mad King Aerys Targaryen inspired rebellion.
Before coming into the possession of Daenerys, the eggs belonged to Magister Illyrio Mopatis of the Free City of Pentos. At first the gift of the eggs seemed to be just a extravagant and thematically appropriate gift, but Mopatis' association with the eunuch, spymaster and Royal Advisor Varys hints that there are forces that might have wished to force the reintroduction of dragons to Westeros and recognized Daenerys' role in that before she did.
THAT BASTARD, GENDRY3 of 12During Eddard Stark's investigations into how his predecessor as King's Hand, Jon Arryn, spent his last days, he came across young Gendry working as an apprentice blacksmith. Gendry turned out to to be perhaps the eldest illegitimate son of King Robert Baratheon by an unknown woman. Coupled with the kingdom's genealogical records, Stark discovered that the King's black hair was a dominate trait in his line, revealing that his 'legitimate' heir, the blond Joffrey, was not his real son but the product of an incestuous relationship between his mother, the Queen, and her twin brother, the King Slayer.
Like Jon Arryn, Stark failed to act on this information fast enough and when the time came, Joffrey assumed the Iron Throne. With Arryn, Stark, and his father the King dead, Gendry not only remains ignorant of his true lineage, but without the aid of their secret patronage is cast out of his place of work. Orphaned and unemployed, Gendry chooses to join the Night's Watch where he meets a fellow lost scion of a noble family headed north: a disguised Arya Stark.
THE ENIGMATIC SHAE4 of 12Tyrion Lannister was just looking for some companionship on another of the nights he thought was going to be his last. This time it was the night before he was to lead the Hill Tribes of the Vale into battle with the House Stark. At his request, Tyrion's personal sell-sword Bronn delivers to him the prostitute Shae, a self-described foreigner that makes an impression on the youngest son of the Lord of House Lannister.
Despite his self-professed 'gift' of being able to read people, Shae is a mystery to Tyrion and in a game he stages to learn more about her, he ends up revealing more about himself than he likely ever has to any woman; she does claim she's not of low birth or a product of a single parent household. When his father directs Tyrion to act as the Hand of the King for his nephew Joffrey in order to temper the young man's (and his mother's) ambition, he forbids his son to take Shae along to court. Tyrion defies this order, and the pair delight in their rebellion and the trouble it might cause.
JON SNOW'S MOTHERLY MYSTERY5 of 12Far from the battlefields that consume the attention of the Great Houses of Westeros, the men of the Night's Watch keep their attention facing northward. Beyond the Wall, an ancient evil is stirring, creatures of legend are hacking men apart and turning others into zombie-like creatures. Among those charged with countering that threat is Jon Snow, the illegitimate son of Lord Eddard Stark.
Raised as a son and a brother in the Stark household, albeit with a certain chil by the lady of the house, Jon made it a point to never forget his place even when not reminded of it. Seeking a life where he could make a name for himself and avoid creating further friction in his father's house, Jon join's the Night's Watch and leaves the family permanently.
All Jon knows about his mother is her name: Wylla, and that she was a serving girl that his father encountered while engaging in a rebellion against the former King. Before he left for the Wall, Jon elicited a promise from his father to share more information about her the next time they met. This promise was forever broken with Lord Stark's death, and coupled with Jon's commitment to the Night's Watch of severing himself from his past, it's likely that he will never know who she is.
STANNIS BARATHEON, KING BY RIGHT6 of 12The eldest remaining brother of King Robert Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon looms large over the question of succession after the King's death. The revelation of the true parentage of Joffrey has given him cause to claim the throne for himself, a claim that is backed up by the dead king's also-dead closest ally, Eddard Stark. The latter's support and Stannis' proven aptitude on the battlefield made him the principal threat to Joffrey's young reign in the eyes of the Queen, even in absentia.
Closer to his dead brother, but further down the line of succession is Renly Baratheon, who himself lays claim to the throne with his suggestion that his wisdom and intelligence is the right answer to solve the problems in the Kingdom, rather than continuing the reign of former warriors like his two elder brothers. His attempt at gaining the allegiance of Eddard Stark for a quick and brutal coup d'état as King Robert lays dying ultimately fails and he flees the capitol to raise forces of his own.
JAMIE LANISTER, KING SLAYER7 of 12Jaime Lannister the likely killer of Jon Arryn, the actual killer of the Mad King, and definitely the guy who pushed young Bran Stark out of a window for witnessing him having sex with his twin sister is the man largely responsible for the fate of the Kingdom as it is now. Wealthy, handsome, good with a sword, but not quite as clever as he thinks he is, Jaime's machinations have both placed his nephew (actually his incestuous son, remember) on the throne, but also plunged the kingdom into war.
A final error: underestimating Robb Stark, led to his capture by forces very hostile to him, with only the fates of the Stark daughters and a possible trade for their return keeping him alive. Captivity has not tempered Jamie, who after trying once again to outwit Robb by forcing a duel that would end in his own favor, senses the power he has as a prisoner and uses it to bait the widow Stark.
SYRIO, THE WATER DANCER8 of 12Hired by Eddard Stark to teach his daughter Arya to use the sword Needle that his illegitimate son Jon Snow gave her as a going away present, Syrio Forel is a master of the water dancing style of the Free City of Braavos. With a wit as sharp as his blade, he quickly earns the respect of the young lady and the pair train in secret from all members of her family, save her father. Arya proves to be a quick study, and the skills and confidence that Syrio imparts quickly prove useful to her during the panicked hours after the death of King Robert Baratheon.
Syrio apparently gives his life to buy time for his young charge to escape the guards of House Lannister and Meryn Trant in particular, skillfully holding them at bay with just a wooden practice sword. Although Trant appears in the company of the new King in the days that follow, Syrio's fate is not revealed. Leaving open the possibility that the The First Sword of Braavos told the God of Death Not today! and survived their encounter. Even if he passed as it appeared, there's always the chance that Braavos will play a bigger hand in the wars to come.
THAT CREEPY KID, ROBIN9 of 12He might still be a child, as well as being the only son of Jon Arryn, Warden of the East and the Lord of the Eyrie, but one thing is for sure: Robin Arryn is too old to still be breastfeeding. Coddled by his mother (the sister of Eddard Stark's wife, Catelyn) Robin will come into control of a large part of Westeros when he is older, ready for it or not.
Easily outwitted by Tyrion Lannister during their brief encounter, Robin and his mother have unknowingly emboldened the rebellious local Hill Tribes who fell into alliance with Tyrion when he fled their citadel. In exchange for aiding the wayward Tyrion, they have been promised the backing of House Lannister in seizing power in the east from Robin.
BENJEN STARK AND THE TRUE NORTH10 of 12Eddard Stark's younger brother, Benjen Stark, is the First Ranger of the Night's Watch and is abjectly the force's second in command. After recruiting his nephew Jon Snow to his order, he departs with a company of his rangers to the lands north of the Wall on a mission of reconnaissance. When his horse returns without him, a search party turns up his companions, seemingly dead.
After the apparent corpses reanimate and attack, coupled with the other signs of unusual/supernatural activity in Westeros, the Night's Watch mobilizes to investigate the North and discover Benjen's fate. The North is reportedly the home of giants, wights and the White Walkers: a race of legendary creatures that once laid waste to the entire world before they were driven back and imprisoned behind the Wall who now are rumored to be stirring again.
WINTER IS COMING11 of 12Some unspecified astronomical anomaly has granted the world on which Westeros lays with individual seasons that can last for an indeterminable number of years. As fun as the nearly ten years of summer weather the lands are currently enjoying is, looming in the background of all machinations of man is the impending winter, which could last just as long.
As told in the scary stories that Westeros residents tell children, years of snow and cold mean widespread famine and death as no crops can be grown on frozen soil and endless snowfalls bury the tallest towers. Political machinations, familial honor, and great wars would pale in comparison to the effects of such an ecological disaster. It is the motto of House Stark and a warning to everyone.

Narron says they are going to pick their spots with Hamilton to give him the best chance for success. This while he's red-hot.
But with Ross... they are going to stick with him because (to paraphrase) you can't come out of a slump on the bench.
Anyone else think this is a little inconsistent?
STICKING WITH ROSS: Reds manager Jerry Narron said he'll consider giving third catcher Chad Moeller a start some time this week, but David Ross is going to continue to get the bulk of the playing time.
"It's a possibility," Narron said. "We're trying to get David Ross on track. It's not going to happen for him sitting on the bench."
Ross is hitting .085. He struck out three times in three at-bats Sunday, giving him 12 in 24 at-bats.
The fact he caught a shutout lessened the blow of the bad day at the plate.
"I feel good about today," he said. "You don't say that often after taking the hat trick."
Ross is not the only Red struggling.
The Reds are hitting .226 as a team and are 10th in the National League in runs scored.
They're hitting .198 against left-handers.
"It's early," Narron said. "We need to swing the bats. It's as simple as that. We'll come out of it and start hitting.
"The weather hasn't been good - the whole bit. It's not easy to hit in 30-degree weather."

I love Ankes Artsy Challenge for June 13th . . . and finally found a little while to play with the freebie kit that came with the challenge.
Journaling: the day your mama and daddy brought you home from the hospital, was such a big day for your family sweet amelia. your big sister was four years old and your big brother was three. it could have been quiet an adjustment for them, but they took to you the moment you were born . . . and the day you came home to your new house was the sweetest day ever. just watching everyone soaking you up was such a blessing for me . . . especially seeing mark and mary paul getting to kiss you, touch you and explore just who this new little bundle was, was a gift that I hadnt expected to be one which would stay with me forever.
i love you

Completing an engineer to order (ETO) project can take from days to decades. While managing an engineering project can be daunting, usually the real challenge is managing the business of engineering. Asking engineers to design widgets is one thing; persuading them to complete the necessary paperwork (or electronic work, as the case may be) is another thing entirely.
There are hundreds of products designed to assist engineers with critical business functions. We've created this guide to help prospective buyers understand ETO systems and how they factor into the larger manufacturing market.
Here's what we'll cover:
Common Features of ETO Software
Key Purchase Considerations
Benefits of Using ETO Software
In evaluating software, engineer to order manufacturers should consider the following functions to meet their unique requirements:
|Quote to order
|The ETO system should support quote creation. The system should use current inventory information and historical data to estimate costs and delivery dates.
|Bill of materials management
|The system should create BOMs directly from orders, even the orders that are generated from quotes. The system should allow revisions to the BOM to provide additional levels of detail. In advanced systems, a conceptual BOM is used as part of the process to develop a quote.
|Make or buy decision support
|Make or buy decision support applies job estimating to subassemblies to evaluate whether it is more profitable to make or buy components. Advanced systems will factor in time to build or buy as well as cost.
|Conditional order management
|The system should be able to place conditional orders with suppliers to inform them which orders are likely on the condition that a particular bid is accepted.
|Cost plus pricing
|The system should create cost plus bids if required. It should allow variable markups for components and subassemblies.
|Spare parts management
|The ETO system should identify and account for the production or acquisition of any contractually required spare parts. The system should track lead times to decide which parts should be stocked, which should be built to order, and which can be ordered from vendors.
|Warranty and service contract management
|The warranty and service contracts are detailed in the bid and final proposal. The ETO system should track the dates and milestones on the contracts.
|Estimate confidence level
|The system should allow a confidence level to be assigned to each entry in a proposal. The confidence level should be able to either be kept internal or shared with the client as desired.
|Engineering change management
|Tracks engineering changes and their impact on delivery date and profit on the project. It should also be easy to enter the changes into the system so that the changes can flow to other projects and the overall schedule.
|Failed bidder stipend accounting
|If the RFP or bid process allows bidders to receive a stipend for failed proposals, the accounting system should correctly charge the costs of developing the response against the stipend.
With the expanse of engineering systems on the market, it's important to keep the following considerations in mind when selecting a system that fits the needs of your company:
Deployment: Most ETO manufacturing software installations are on-premises. Software as a service (SaaS) options are available. The attractiveness of a cloud-based alternative is primarily based on the information technology infrastructure already in place in the firm.
Integration: ETO systems generally include manufacturing resource planning (MRP) functions and often directly interface with manufacturing execution systems (MESes).
Other critical business applications that impact ETO software include:
The following are just a few benefits you can expect from implementing an ETO system:
Increased accuracy: Because of the nimble nature of most ETO projects, the ability to create fast and accurate quotes, bids and requests for quotations (RFQs) is crucial. Converting quotes to orders and bills of material (BOM) is also critical.
p>In order to give accurate quotes, the inventory system, including costs and quantities, must be current. In addition, there must be up-to-date information on vendors and components, with costs and lead times, to support make-versus-buy decisions for subassemblies.
ETO software helps engineers automate these workflows, increasing the accuracy of quotes, reducing the time required to answer RFQs and simplifying the process of converting quotes to orders.
Improved planning and resource allocation: An ETO system can offer a wealth of data and insight into critical business functions. Learn the true costs associated with inventory, equipment and personnel. Track historical performance and use trends analysis to predict high volume times of the year or low revenue days. Measure the time it takes to progress through the various engineering stages with the goal to reduce the time needed for planning and production.
Decreasing waste and reducing production time are pivotal lean manufacturing principles. And lean manufacturing, developed in the mid-20th century from the Toyota Production System, is a proven system for greener operations and improved customer satisfaction. Ultimately, ETO software can help engineers increase efficiency and maximize profits, thus growing their business.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!
