Local contributions in the presidential race
Donations to the presidential race can be made in several ways. Here are the contributions in 13 southern New York counties to four different committees for the Republican and Democratic nominees in 2012: the presidential campaign fund; the national party committee; a joint fundraising committee between those two committees; and the main super PAC backing each candidate.
For Barack Obama, those are: Obama for America, Democratic National Committee, Obama Victory Fund, and Priorities USA.
For Mitt Romney, they are: Romney for President, Republican National Committee, Romney Victory, and Restore Our Future.
The joint fundraising committee is a joint effort by the presidential fund and the national party to hold events to raise money. A donor can give a maximum amount of $70,800. Of that amount, $5,000 goes to the presidential campaign fund and most of the rest goes to the national party, though some might go to state party committees. The joint fundraising committee also keeps some to pay its fundraising bills.
This database is based on a master file on contributions kept by the Federal Elections Commission that was last updated on Feb. 17, 2013.
The map is shaded by ZIP code depending on whether Romney (in red) or Obama (in blue) leads in the fundraising. Click on any area to get details on the totals.

Nora the Goat is Crazy!
She is.....
Just look at this
She does not like green apples!
She sniffs them.
She will even go so far as to snuffle them and take one into her mouth.
But....she will SPIT IT OUT!
Can you imagine such a thing?
Spitting out an apple!
I was shocked!
I will neither confirm nor deny that a certain hornless brown and white goat ate those spit out apples. I will only maaaa that I don't think ANY apple should go to waste.
Back to Nora.
She maaaas that she thinks only RED apples taste good.
What a silly goat!
She prefers tree-t.

Silly Nora. Good thing the star goat is around to clean up after you Nora. Maybe those green apples are a tiny bit sour. Who knows. Goats can be a little fussy. Hope all of you have a great day.

I am so glad the green apples didn't go to waste when Nora spit them out. I will admit, I have, on occasion, given something to the dog if the cat has spit it out.

My goaties can be pretty picky sometimes, thank goodness for the horse! LOL!!

Silly goat...all apples are good!!
Mom has some questions maybe you can answer for us sometime: kinda like goat 101 - do all goats have horns or not? how long do kids gestate? how long do goats normally live? do you spend the nights in the barn or outside (and do they worry about coyotes - cause we don't think Sherpa or Harry would be much protection against them)? THANKS - February 23, 2012 at 7:45 AM
- TexWisGirl said...
one of my old mares was the same way - wouldn't eat granny smiths - only the red varieties...
- February 23, 2012 at 8:41 AM
- Orion Designs said...
In all fairness, some green apples are quite tart. Could that have been the problem?
- February 23, 2012 at 9:33 AM
- SharleneT said...
I'm with Nora and will only COOK green apples. Obviously, she has taste! Tree Tea is far superior...
- February 23, 2012 at 10:18 AM
- Grand Pooba said...
Ha! Crazy goat!
Hey, have you ever thought about making goat cheese???? - February 23, 2012 at 10:24 AM
- Sparkle said...
I understand picky - the other cats are always eating the cat food I rejected.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:06 AM

Well, at least that leaves more green apples for somegoat!

It would be a shame to have an apple go to waste.

Astro*Talk is one of the most advanced astrological interpretations ever produced. This is "smart software" that combines the best of two worlds: the interpretive skills of leading astrologers and the power of today's personal computers to accurately calculate, weigh and assemble the correct text based on the elements of a specific natal chart. The result is a report of unmatched precision and insight.
However, regardless of the accuracy of the calculations if the final report is not written with clarity and in a style that is accessible the results are useless. Reports you create with Astro*Talk software are easy to read and can be readily understood even by those who have absolutely no knowledge of astrology. In fact Astro*Talk reports are an exceptional way to introduce someone new to the many benefits of astrology.
No-nonsense descriptions of the basic planetary configurations present in your life, and how they affect you, have made Astro*Talk the most popular astrological report software for professional astrologers for more than 20 years. As sophisticated as it is, Astro*Talk software is exceptionally easy to use. You simply enter the birth data of the individual for whom you are preparing a report and click "process". When done by hand reports of this depth and quality take even the most experienced astrologer many hours to prepare. You do it with the click of a mouse.
This program is the biggest-seller we've ever created - and we've been selling astrology software longer than anyone!
If you are a Professional Astrologer Astro*Talk reports are produced ready to print and mail or email to your clients. Each report is beautifully formatted and can include your own logo or contact information. User defined options within the report let you quickly shape the technique and final output. A built-in editor allows text editing - paragraphs can be quickly and easily modified to reflect your personal preference. There's no limit to text length. You can modify individual reports or work within the actual report database to make your modifications universal and permanent. Before printing the report you can even load it in your preferred word processing program for more extensive modifications to the appearance - add your own graphics or decorative fonts. The program can also print a chart wheel to go with the natal report - there are 12 wheels styles to choose from (ten wheels and two aspect grids).
Inside an Astro*Talk Report
Here's what you will find inside an Astro*Talk report: Introduction If you are providing a report to someone unfamiliar with in-depth astrological reports, you may choose to include a brief introduction to astrology and the concepts used by astrologers today interpreting charts. This is an option that can be turned on or off.
The Planets The first and largest chapter of an Astro*Talk report takes the reader through the planets and their aspects, beginning with the Sun and the Moon. You have a choice of nine different aspect sets, plus the option of including or omitting any combination of planets. (Two sets of interpretations in this software means no duplications in the text of planetary aspects).
Life Landscapes These Saturn transits in the Grant Lewi-style provide description of major life periods: your personal background, plus a close-up look at your current situation, complete with exact dates of Saturn transits
Burn Rate Do you run hot and fast? Do thing in your life change rapidly? Or is your life less turbulent and more straight-forward? Discover your personal "Burn Rate". "Burn Rate" is based on a new and exciting technique. The geocentric and heliocentric positions of the planets are analyzed and the planets in high focus are interpreted. Discover if your burn rate is high or low, or in-between and whether the majority of your planets are in the past, present or future.
Chart Pattern/Soul Type Both geocentric and heliocentric charts are analyzed for major chart patterns and then interpreted. You inner self is contrasted with your outer personality. Keys to both inner and outer aspects are delineated. Even your personal "hot spot" (the most aspected planet) is described.
Elemental Balance This section analyzes elements, modalities, and angularities. Discover which you have in abundance or which you are lacking. Measuring these gives a general picture of the person.
Challenges and Abilities This is a second breakdown of planetary aspects, describing areas of intense focus and activity. Challenges can be difficult, requiring caution and extra patience. Abilities are areas of clear insight and real talent.
Interface Nodes Interface Nodes provides a complete heliocentric planetary node analysis. The position of each planet in relation to the other planets is indicated by either inclinations (likes) or disinclinations (dislikes). The nodes represent our root level or core - our innermost qualities.
House Activity and Emphasis This is a six-to-eight page report on this very important basic part of astrology. Houses, signs, and planets in houses are looked at in this section.
Major Transits Astro*Talk calculates and interprets transits for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It gives dates when the next major transits for these planets are exact in your chart.
Explanatory Supplement This is a 15 page introduction to astrological terms and concepts. Like any of the chapters in an Astro*Talk report you may choose to include or exclude this chapter based on your understanding of your client's needs.
Technical Facts about Astro*Talk
(Note: All Matrix reports are shipped with default presets selected by the author of the particular program and our astrologers. Once on your computer they are ready to begin calculating reports for you immediately. However, each Professional program gives you a selection of choices and options that permit you to shape many components to your personal preference. Available options will vary by report.)
Choose U.S. or Euro date formats
Select start date for your report for applicable sections. Built-in ephemeris from 600 B.C to 2299 A.D.
Select Aspects set including: Standard, Ptolemy, Conjunction, Conjunction and Oppositions, Squares, Hard, Soft, Synastry, Complete, Custom, Squares One Degree Orb, Tithis
Select Natal planets to include
Select the format of your report to include or exclude specific chapters
Select arrangement of the chapters of your report
Turn Astro*Keys on or off
Reports print nicely formatted and ready to mail or deliver or they can be easily personalized to reflect your personal tastes and preference.
Print directly to printer, edit file then save, or save to file for emailing or import into other word processing programs.
Astro*Talk is a complete program that will function as a stand-alone or in conjunction with other Matrix programs.

A customizable User Page allows you to include your contact and promotional information as a part of each report helping to assure repeat business from your satisfied clients.
Standard WinWriter options include ability to personalize individual reports and make global database modifications that will be reflected in each.

Always ready to congratulate and encourage young up and coming artists, and modest about his own abilities and not in the "I'm being modest to make you keep complimenting me" way. A fan of comics too. Sadly one of the things that happened just before he died was the death of Bart Allen, who he helped co-create as Impulse, with Mark Waid. Bart is back, but Mike doesn't have that option, alas.
So in a change to my usual posting style, I ask you to remind us, if you can, your favourite piece of his art. If you had the chance to meet him, tell us about it if you like, for those of us who'll never get the chance.
Perhaps if you have a single image, post it in this thread, or if you want to showcase his work, make a post of your own.
His Deviantart page is still open for viewing, with an astounding variety of sketches and epices, united only by their brilliance, and his homepage is here too.
For myself, I have this adorable, limited run, lithograph he did way back when...
Trust me when I say he'd have been on my commission list, but not for a Robin in peril (though he did that too), imagine the fun I could have had with him on my Nightwing/Nightcrawler theme... sigh...
Then there's his work on Tellos which he co-created with Mike DeZago...
And for a published piece, I adore this one, which appeared as a frontpiece in volume 2 of "Lions and Tigers and Bears"
So share, remember and above all else, enjoy, you get the feeling Mike would want you to

Plymouth's No. 1 doubles team of Marissa German and Andria Shook earned a pair of reprisal wins over Goshen and Northridge last week to win the championship at the Northern Lakes Conference Tournament.
Culver Community's Matt Hurford finished second in both the 110 hurdles and the shot put, fifth in the 300 hurdles and first in the 1600 relay with teammates Bradley Beaver, Preston Hansel and Micah Budzinski to lead the Cavs at the NSC Track Meet last week.
BREMEN — With four championship matches left to wrap at the Northern State Conference Tournament, it looks like Bremen's girls tennis team has an outright NSC title in the bag. The Lady Lions have yet to finish up on the three singles courts and at 2 doubles after earning championship berths on all courts over the weekend.
SOUTH BEND — Add a non-conference Saturday after a long week of baseball to the venue of Coveleski Stadium and opponent South Bend Clay (11-6) and you have a roller coaster ride of a morning that ended with Plymouth falling to Clay by a 12-6 final. "We didn't take any steps back today," said Plymouth coach Ryan Wolfe. "We're right where we want to be and moving forward, and It was just one of those days where the wheels fell off. They fell off, and we couldn't get back on the wagon."
Girls tennis German and Shook win NLC doubles title Plymouth's No. 1 doubles team of Marissa German and Andria Shook won the Northern Lakes Conference championship, and the Lady Pilgrims finished third behind meet and overall league champ Northridge and runner-up Goshen at the NLC Tournament at home Saturday morning. German and Shook avenged a three-set loss to Northridge's Courtney Clark and Olivia Erekson in round robin play back on May 2 with a very convincing 6-2, 6-1 win over their rivals Saturday to win the 1 doubles title on their home court in Centennial Park.
SYRACUSE — Plymouth's Pilgrims made it three in a row — this time a come from behind NLC win on the road at Wawasee (3-14) by an 11-6 final. Falling behind early, the Pilgrims rallied late and a big three-run sixth — spurred by RBIs from Jacob Frantz, Justin Drudge and Blake Milliser — pushed them ahead to stay. A four-run seventh put the exclamation point on the win. "We got down 6-2 in the fourth. We battled. I thought we had some great at-bats where we battled early, were able to put some runs on," said Plymouth head coach Ryan Wolfe. "I knew one run wasn't going to be enough there."
LAKEVILLE — On a cold night in Lakeville, the Lancers' bats matched the weather as they were only able to come away with one hit off Bremen's Jacob Bennitt, losing 11-0. Bennitt finished with nine strikeouts without walking a single batter in the shutout. The Bremen Lions came to play at the plate as well, starting the game with five runs in the first inning and cycling through the entire order.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth's girls tennis team started the Northern Lakes Conference Tournament with hopes of overtaking Northridge or at least Goshen after a third-place finish behind the two in round robin play. With two rounds of the NLC tourney now complete, the Lady Pilgrims' chances of doing so are all but defunct. Plymouth went 2-2 on a cold Friday evening in Centennial Park following a 6-4 start over Wednesday's opening round and Thursday's abbreviated round.
CULVER — Two juniors on the Culver Girls Academy lacrosse team were selected to play in the U.S. Lacrosse Women's National Tournament. Rory Byrne of South Bend and Kelsi Carr of Kitchener, Ontario will play for the combined Indiana-Kentucky team May 25-26 at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.

The bill would require lenders to pay additional fees to file foreclosure actions, and the estimated $41 million in fees collected annually would be used to offset costs for municipalities that secure and maintain vacant buildings, as well as fund foreclosure outreach and prevention efforts.
Wording created by Action Now was included in SB 16, which specified that foreclosure prevention should focus on community based door-to-door outreach. Since 2010, Action Now has informed over 3,000 homeowners in foreclosure of mediation programs to help save their homes. SB 16 would help reach 18,000 more people!
SB 16 also furthers our campaign to address the vacant property problem by providing $28 million in grants to help cities all over Illinois clean up and restore abandoned properties.
Chicago Tribune, "Bill passes to fast-track foreclosure of abandoned properties in Ill."

Florida man pleads guilty to smuggling birds from Cuba in his pants
MIAMI (AP) — A Miami man faces up to 20 years in prison for allegedly trying to smuggle birds from Cuba into the United States in his pants.
The U.S. Attorney's office says Alberto Diaz Gonzalez pleaded guilty Thursday to attempting to import undeclared wildlife from the Caribbean island. He is scheduled to be sentenced in February.
Diaz's federal public defender did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Diaz returned to Miami from Havana on Oct. 20. Court documents show he told U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Miami that he was not carrying any wildlife.
But authorities say when officers searched Diaz, they found 16 Cuban bullfinches hidden in his pants. They say Diaz admitted the birds were from Cuba and that he planned to sell them.

When I first came across Gumstix, my jaw dropped. Gumstix are fully functional computer motherboards, the size of a gumstick or smaller, that run Linux. The latest in the Gumstix line, the Overo Earth, pushes the boundaries of ultra small computers -- and kicks some serious butt doing it.
The Overo is based on the Texas Instruments OMAP3503 ARM-based processor, similar to that used in the beagle board. It runs at an impressive 600MHz, and while this version does not yet have 3D acceleration, it's on the product roadmap for first Quarter of 2009.
When Jeff (one of my co-workers) and I began working the latest project, he picked one up for our prototype. I knew it was small, but I was amazed at how minuscule (and amazing) this device really is.
Grab a stick of gum, and you get an idea of the real size of this thing. The left side is the Overo Earth Motherboard, the right side is the Summit expansion board.
To keep the Overo small, it doesn't have many ways to connect to it. The standard way is by purchasing the Summit board, an add-on that includes audio, power, USB, and, of all things, an HDMI (DVI-D) connector for High Definition Video!!!
The Overo runs a custom Linux distribution, and comes with the Elightenment Window Manager installed on the default image. Since it uses USB On-the-go, it doesn't have much power -- we added a USB hub to it in this picture so we could connect a keyboard and mouse.
The Overo and Summit board, connected via HDMI to my television, and to a powered USB hub (left).
Booting into Linux on an HDTV
The Overo USplash screen.
The Overo comes with the Enlightenment Window Manager. Attach a mouse, and you now have a Linux box for your TV.
Thanks to Jeff Potter for letting me borrow the Overo this week, and giving me a chance to play around with it.

by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce: I don't even know where to begin with this mess. I remember when Lady Gaga came out about a year ago, and I really liked her music. After the MTV Video Music Awards when she came out dressed in bizarre outfits and blood all over her body, my liking of her began to dwindle. I feel like she, or anyone else for that matter, shouldn't have to do all the extra-ness to get people to listen to her music or be interested in her. To talk about her? Maybe…but it's not necessary! The music alone should speak for itself.
This video presents her biggest debacle to date! I heard a few people mention this video a few days ago but I thought nothing of it. I really thought people made the mistake of calling the video Telephone when they really meant Video Phone – which is Beyonce's previous single. I finally became intrigued enough to search for the video today, and I was shocked. To even watch the video you have to be 18 or older and have a YouTube account to login. That's just to watch the video…because it's that explicit!
After being uploaded for only seven days, there are already more than 20+ MILLION views! And the video is almost ten minutes long! That's a mini movie – like the kind Michael Jackson used to make back in the day. Yet, this mini movie is straight clownery. Lady Gaga has no self respect and with 10 layers of makeup on, she looks ridiculous. I'm trying to figure out what made Beyonce want to be a part of this song/video!?! I can understand the 'you be in my video, I'll be in yours' deal they probably made, but sometimes you have to put your foot down. Bey just lost some cool points and entered a lower class level in my book by being in this video. My guess is that her hubby, Jay, pushed her to be in this video due to the publicity she would get by being associated with Lady Gaga. Yep – that's my story and I'm sticking with it!
I could dwell on so many parts of the video that are whack…. the name of the Bey's truck (Pu**ywagon – what the hell?), Tyrese's guest appearance (dude – are you really not getting any more movie roles that you have to stoop so slow and be in a LG video?)…I won't even say anymore. I'll let you watch this craziness below.

European Commission launches strategy on green infrastructure
The European Commission has adopted a new strategy for encouraging the use of green infrastructure, and for ensuring that the enhancement of natural processes becomes a systematic part of spatial planning. Green infrastructure uses nature to provide ecological, economic and social benefits. Instead of building flood protection infrastructure, for example, a green infrastructure solution would be to allow a natural wetland to absorb the excess water from heavy rain. …

the most awesomest shoes ever invented. They will be worn for thousands of years. They will survive the test of time, far better tan those of vans (shitty shoes). Only nerds wear vans and only cool poeple wear converse. Look at all those cool kids walking down the street! They are all wearing Converse. Look at all those dorks in McDonalds wearing Vans! FAGS!

Shut the fuck up. Converse are amazing, always have been and always will be, no matter who wears them. If you pricks actually stop wearing a brand of shoes because "preps" have started wearing them, you're a pathetic piece of shit and should be shot immediately. Converse are canvas shoes that were popular in the 1980's. In the past few years they have become more popular again. You can buy them in low or high top, and in any color or design. You can personalize them by putting in your own shoelaces and writing on them in permanent marker. Converse owns yo bitch asses. YEAH NIGS.
2. | converse | ||
The best shoes ever created. They can be worn by anyone, but are becoming more and more popular because Nike STOLE-err....bought Converse. If you are wearing them because you like them, you're doing the right thing. If you are wearing them because EVERYONE at your school has a pair and you want to be just like them, you are a materialistic jerk. FUCK YOU!!! Non-fad follower: I love to wear converse. They are the best brand of shoes in the world.
Popularity obsessed trend-follower (puppet): LYKE OMG!!!!!! I NEED SOME CONVERSE BCUZ EVERY1 @ MY SKOOL LYKE HAS A PAIR AND I WANNA B POPULAR!!!!!11111!!!!!111!!1!1!11!!!1 |

Noun: Shoes that used to be an expression of individuality, but are now an overused fad. Valley Girl: Oh my God! Like, where did you get your new converses? I have to get a pair!

When people say converse they are usually referring to Chuck Taylors or chucks which are most likely the most popular style of converse shoes. And yes my dad likes to tell those fascinating stories of how he wore them when he played basketball in highschool, often he uses visual aids(his highschool basketball team picture where everyone on the team is wearing said shoe) to illustrate this point. Yes, very cool dad. Then he regales us with stories of how he had a pair in every off the wall color and they were only ten bucks @ Yellowfront (some ancient sporting goods store). All very fascinating. Nowadays these glorious shoes are being worn by all types of people, but I wont even try to name all the "categories" of people that wear them because that's lame. Classification sucks major ass. Anyway, don't give a shit what anyone says about you wearing the damn shoes. If you like something wear it. That should be the only reason to do anything at all anyway. So whether someone says your cool for wearing them or they tell you that you have no right to do so, just tell them to FUCK OFF! because you couldn't care less what they think! Or you could just ignore them and walk away which is often to better effect. Lame person: "Hey you can't wear converse, those shoes are strictly for .....(insert lame ass classification)."
You in your fine ass kicks: "Get a life." (turn your back on lame person and walk away) |

rubber and canvas shoes that have become a trend. often seen in many colours and patterns. can now get fakes for a 5th of the price. people often change the laces ands put beads on and write things on the rubber parts. trendy people hated the alternatives wearing them a year later they have 3 pairs
dont wear them in the rain or they tend to go squeak squeak |
6. | converse | ||
A type of shoe. They were back around the 1950's. They were the first basketball shoe made. Now they are mostly worn by "rock" figures or others similar to them. Yesterday, I bought a pair of black converse!
7. | Converse | ||
The brand of hipsters and free thinkers for years hit financial problems in the 90's and was bought out by Nike. Production was moved overseas and the price jumped from $20 to $35 a pair. "I have a pair of Converse to match every one of my turtle necks!"

Where you'll find it: The Wilderness, Hampton Court Palace See it for yourself: visit the palace
It's pretty famous
'It is the most famous Maze in the history of the world, and immeasurably the one most visited.' (Ernest Law, 1926)
The maze at Hampton Court was designed by George London and Henry Wise and commissioned around 1700 by William III. Originally planted using hornbeam and later replanted using yew, the Hampton Court maze covers a third of an acre, is trapezoid in shape and is the UK's oldest surviving hedge maze. The maze itself is referred to as a multicursal or puzzle maze and is known for confusing and intriguing visitors with its many twists, turns and dead ends. Before the creation of the Hampton Court maze, unicursal or single path mazes were the most popular form of maze in the UK. Unlike the puzzle maze, the single path maze has one path, usually in a spiral shape, winding to a centre point. Trace sound installation Since May 2005, giggling children and scuttling feet have not been the only sounds reverberating through the hedges of the Maze - the final stage of the project was a new audio installation. Entitled Trace, this permanent art installation has been created by internationally renowned sound artists Greyworld, commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces through the Artpoint Trust.
Drawing on the idea of the historic maze as a place of furtive conversation and flirtation, Greyworld have created a gentle soundwork that affects the visitors' experience of their journey through the labyrinth. Visitors will be enticed along the green corridors, tempted by tantalising sounds - a fragment of music, a snatch of laughter, the seductive rustle of fine silks and the whispers of an illicit conversation - that will disappear around the winding paths.
At the centre of the Maze, touch-sensitive benches also create subtle sounds as visitors sit to relax and contemplate their journey into - and their strategy to find their way out of - the Maze! Over a thousand self-generating sounds have been incorporated into the Maze ensuring the visitor will never experience the work in the same way twice.
The Hampton Court maze in Three Men in a Boat
'We'll just go in here, so that you can say you've been, but it's very simple. It's absurd to call it a maze. You keep on taking the first turning to the right. We'll just walk around for ten minutes, and then go and get some lunch.'
So said Harris, from Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat (1889). The tourists he led into the Maze subsequently got lost for hours.
There was a young teacher from Hayes Took her class to the Hampton Court Maze They got thoroughly lost At a reasonable cost The children and teacher from Hayes.
The Maze is open daily

The Der Baron tire is a DH favorite when the course is sloppy and wet for its aggressive, widely spaced lugs and Chili Pepper rubber compound. It's a combination that sheds mud and digs deep for encouraging traction, but the tire is too portly if you're not planning on an assisted ride back to ...read more
Continental Race King UST Tubeless Tire - 26in
Take one glance at the Continental Race King UST's tread pattern and you'll see that this tire's goal, first and foremost, is to roll fast. It comes as no surprise that Irina Kalentieva--riding for Topeak/Ergon--took the first Race King prototype to a spot on the podium at the 2007 UCI World ...read more
Continental X-King UST Tubeless Tire - 26in
While the Continental X-King UST Tubeless Tire is the heaviest of the race and trail focused X-King line, it's also a dedicated tubeless tire. Because of that, it's probably the most versatile of the lot. It can be run at far lower PSI than a tubed version, enabling better conformity to the trail ...read more
Continental Gatorskin Tire - Clincher
The Continental Gatorskin Tires are a bit less costly than the ever-popular G.P. 4-Season. However, like the 4-Season, the Gatorskins are made for the insults of gritty winter riding. Comparatively, they're a bit slower, a bit heavier, but it's because they are unmatched for puncture-proofness. ...read more
Continental Grand Prix Attack Front Tire - Clincher
It should be no surprise that your front and rear tires serve different roles on the bike. All you need to do is see the differences in their respective wear pattern and wear rates. With that fact in mind, the Continental Grand Prix Attack Clincher Tire is a front-specific tire built to offer ...read more
Continental Race King Black Chili ProTection Tire - 26in
The Continental Race King Black Chili Protection Tire is the best choice for those looking for pure speed along with thorn battling durability. The key ingredient is the ProTection layer -- a fourth ply of rubber-wrapped, extra tough nylon casing that encompasses the entire tire.While the tire ...read more
Continental Grand Prix Force Rear Tire - Clincher
The Continental Grand Prix Force Rear Clincher Tire is a rear-specific tire built to offer an ideal blend of traction and durability. A big part of its ability to deliver seemingly mutually exclusive traits is that the Force Rear Tire is made with Continental's Black Chili rubber compound. Just like ...read more
Continental Sprinter Tire - Tubular
Light enough for racing and durable enough for training, the Continental Sprinter Tubular Road Bike Tire features four layers of polyamide casing to protect against punctures. The German-made Sprinter Tire gives you a smooth ride, offers high mileage, and features natural rubber and activated ...read more
Continental Speed Cyclocross Tire - Clincher
For hardpack cyclocross courses, Continental offers the Speed Tire. The shallow knobs on the center section let this tire put your power to the dirt instead of warping the knobs, and it allows this tire to roll faster on dry and hardpack conditions. The high-volume casing gives this tire a nice, ...read more
Continental Mountain King Tire - 26in
This is not the 2010 Mountain King ProTection. Nor is it the rockin' Mountain King UST, or Mountain King Race Sport. Head spinning yet? Don't sweat it. The reason for the similar naming convention is that Mountain King indicates a tread pattern, and each additional feature that comes with that ...read more
Continental Gator Hardshell Tire
If you log more miles commuting to work and around town than some pros do in training, the Continental Gator Hardshell Road Tire is the answer to the spare tubes, patch kits, and pumps you've been hauling around. Modeled on the legendary Gatorskin, the Hardshell ups the ante with fu ...read more
Continental Race King Protection Tire - 29in
There is more to a tire than knobs. The Continental Race King 29 does its majik not only with the low, finely-gritted tread bars, but with the large, supple casing and round profile. While this is a tire for big wheels, it doesn't ride like a big tire, which is to say, it doesn't feel slow. It ...read more
Continental Race King Tire - 26in
The Supersonic line is for no-holds-barred race-only rubber. The Continental Race King Supersonic tire is thus the most-perfectly speed-optimized version of the Race King tires for people racing cross-country, enduros, and marathons. To this end, Continental saves weight by eliminating the ...read more
Continental Race King Supersonic Tire - 26in
The Continental Race King is the tire choice of two-time XC World Champion Irina Kalentieva (she scored the silver at the 2010 Worlds at Mt. Ste. Anne in Quebec on these tires, on a very soupy course). While the tire can withstand such goop, its rolled shoulder profile and diamond-head arrow center ...read more
Continental Cyclocross Race Tire - Clincher
It's a shame that cyclocross bikes are sometimes conglomerations of various castaway parts from last year's racing bike. If yours is the exception -- if you take your cyclocross and your cyclocross bike seriously -- then the Continental Cyclocross Race Clincher is the tire for you.With 180tpi, it ...read more
Continental Ultra Sport Clincher Tire
The tread of the Continental Ultra Sport Clincher Tire bears great resemblance to Conti's all-time best-selling high-end clincher, the GP4000. In our minds that's an indication of what the Ultra Sport will ride like -- low rolling resistance with excellent grip and durability. You get ...read more
Continental Ultra Sport Hometrainer Tire - Clincher
Putting down serious mileage on your trainer isn't just hell on your brain, it's equally destructive to your rear tire. The severe heat generated by the drums of stationary trainers or rollers devours the rubber and causes the tread to break down and the casing to split. Continental wants you to ...read more
Tufo Valve Extender
Aerodynamic wheels are a godsend when it comes to speed. The reduction in wind drag is exponentially tied to your speed, and no one who's serious about training or racing would be caught dead without them on a ride that really counts.

Re: Fancy Christmas light display
Actually, I saw it several years ago. Not really what I would do to my display, but I have nothing against it. There was a guy locally who first started the craze and he had to shut down the display at his house because of the traffic backups. The town he lived in hired him the next couple years to build a display in their park but it finally folded to because of the cost. I looked at some of the technical equipment involved and it can get quite expensive. The big box stores sell kits for smaller set ups, but I'm not too sure there are still many of them out there this big anymore. This is the one that pretty much started it all. I don't believe in taking the bull by the horns. I took a goat by the horns once and that was enough excitement for me.

My custom-made Verdura Compact was a gift from my husband, Reinaldo, last Christmas. It's made with gold and jewels forming the shape of the sun on one side and on the other, a crescent moon, or a C for Carolina. Reinaldo knows that one of my favorite songs is "Night and Day," by Cole Porter. I absolutely love that song; the lyrics are so romantic. The compact turned out to be romantic too, whimsical and elegant. It complements my prefall collection, which was created to evoke the interplay of night and day.

Perhaps it's all of the fairtale remakes of late or simply that the world is in need of a touch of the fantastical — but Resort 2013 is taking fashion on a whimsical turn. With playful bunny details at Carolina Herrera (left), ethereal butterflies from Nina Ricci by Peter Copping (middle) and Snow White-worthy birds at L'Wren Scott (right), this season feels like a languid stroll through an enchanted forest — we can just hear the tweeting sparrows and the oncoming gallop of Prince Charming. We may be getting our Grimm's mixed up, but either way, this much cute is completely welcome.
Although both of their Pre-Fall collections had a decidedly retro vibe, channeling pre-WWII Brit style at Burberry and Deco era fashion at Carolina Herrera, the parallel we're drawing between the two collections is in the pups. Following past seasons of gorillas at Christopher Kane, panthers at Givenchy, German Shepherds at Balenciaga, cats at Victoria Beckham and birds at Miu Miu, the Resort season has gone to the dogs, so to speak. Burberry's high-kitsch sweater features a sketch of a pert canine while Herrera went for an all-over print inspired by her very own toy poodle, Gaspar — both chic interpretations for the dog days of Pre-Fall. See the rest of the best of the season, so far.
In a season thus far dominated by loose waves and severely slicked-back strands, "fresh and easy" updos looked graceful and modern at Carolina Herrera. Lead stylist Orlando Pita blowdried the hair with a center part and pulled it into a low ponytail just before looping it underneath the elastic into a triangular shape. For a dose of elegance (this is Carolina Herrera), Pita left soft strands falling loose in front. Key products: Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream and Luminous Hairspray

Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Chelsea Clinton, Nanette Lepore, Mario Batali and Amy Sacco were among those who flocked to 583 Park Avenue last night for the Solving Kids Cancer 2nd Annual Spring Celebration. Comedian Seth Herzog was on hand, along with Sacco and Karen Duffy, to exhort guests to donate to the cause. "$5,000? That's like a night at Babbo," Herzog said at one point, teasing committee member Batali.
Post-gala, Karan told us she met the charity's founders, John London and Scott Kennedy — both of whom lost children to cancer — when they came to speak at one of her Urban Zen Foundation events. "Our mission at Urban Zen is connecting the dots, bringing like-minded people together in health care education and culture. When they came there, [everyone said] 'You've gotta meet these guys,'" The designer added, "My whole [objective] at Urban Zen is caring for the patient and the loved one, not the disease, and it's a natural fit."
Event co-host Yvonne Force Villareal said, "I wanted to just be here to support children who are fighting with their illnesses. And how beautiful that their parents are the ones who started it. As a parent — or as any individual — you can really feel that, and their need for having to do what they did, just their need to survive and be proactive about it. So I'm here to support their proactivity."

The MET's Temple of Dendur was a parade of Carolina Herrera gowns last night, where the designer sponsored the annual Apollo Circle benefit — a charitable night of drinking and dancing favored by hot young things. Socials — including Amanda Hearst (left, in Resort 2011) and Lauren Remington Platt — and editrixes alike sipped cocktails at Patricia Lansing's pre-party at The Georgian Suite before walking over in a cloud of trains — and flashbulbs courtesy of Billy Farrell — to the museum. Paul Sevigny spun classic party tunes and Ring Pops, not diamonds, were the accessory du jour.
While we are keenly aware that Kate Middleton will most likely wear a custom, one-of-a-kind wedding dress, much like the late Princess Diana—David and Elizabeth Emanuel were responsible for her puff-sleeved confection—we couldn't help but scroll through the current bridal collections to pick a few wedding dresses for the future Princess of Wales. From left: Carolina Herrera Spring 2011, Oscar de la Renta Fall 2011, Marchesa Spring 2011. Middleton's style is safely chic, but we wouldn't mind seeing her put her fashion foot a little more forward. She'll be needing a trove of dresses and gowns for the all the upcoming celebrations, plenty of opportunity to wear her favorite designers and hopefully a few new ones. Let the fashion show begin!
There was an Asian influence backstage at Carolina Herrera this morning, which resulted in gorgeous red eyes created by makeup artist Diane Kendal. Carolina showed us old photos of flowers and Korean designs, she told us. To get the color just right, Kendal lined the upper lash lines and contours of the lids with MAC Lip Pencil in Brick and then blended it with a brush. She then dusted MAC Eye Shadow in Antiqued (a pretty, shimmery brown) on top and reapplied the lip pencil to "really keep it red." She finished it off by curling the lashes and coating them with mascara. To get a similar effect, try MAC Eye Shadow in Red Brick.

Reviewed by Automotive on 1/31/2013
Volvo is a Swedish manufacturer of world-class automobiles. The brand began in 1927. The S60 classifies as a compact executive model produced by Volvo, and its first generation launched in 2000. After that, Volvo has been producing the model with frequently improved features. The 2013 Volvo S60 comes equipped with all-wheel drive, a sleek and sporty body design, and a powerful engine. The 2013 Volvo S60 comes in three packages: the T5, TG AWD, and T6 AWD Redesigned. The design and features look very attractive indeed.
Four-wheel drive is now available on the S60 T5. Keyless Drive and a power glass moonroof become standard on T6 AWD, and heated rear seats are optional. Automatic windshield wipers, headlight washers, and tunnel detection also become standard on all models. Volvo shows a new trim strategy: Premier to Premier Plus to Platinum. It offers three new exterior colors: ember black, electric silver, and rebel blue.
The 2013 Volvo S60 features active dual xenon headlamps, which help to expand the front view over 230 percent compared to standard halogen lamps. The lamps are motorized to move up to 15 degrees both left and right to boost a 90-percent better view. Highly effective low beams provide illumination on narrow roads, and extremely powerful full beams ensure a perfect view on highways. The lights also feature automatic on/off function.
The LED adaptive brake lights turn on in less time than regular bulbs. The adaptive brake lights can initiate differences between the normal and panic brake. Adaptive brake lights become active above 30 mph. In the panic braking situation, all the brake lights flash at a rate of four times per second. Once the speed slows below 19 mph, the lights stop flashing.
Powerful daytime running lamps increase the visibility to other road users and help them to gauge the distance between two vehicles. In bad weather, high intensity rear fog lights help make the S60 more visible from behind. Also, side-positioning lights alert other drivers of the presence of the S60.
The 2013 Volvo S60 offers standard five-passenger seating. With an ergonomically sculpted design; firm, supporting side cushions; and luxurious padding, both Volvo's front and rear seats are widely accepted as some of the finest in the car world. A step-less lumbar feature supports the front seats with premium materials and designs. Volvo claims that occupants never want to leave the seats. The T6 AWD and T6 AWD Redesigned include adjustable power seats to ensure full comfort during long journeys.
Adjusting the driver's seat and door mirrors is easy, and a memorization system is perfect for saving and recalling the settings. Using the central locking remote every time, the seats and door mirrors automatically adjust to preferences. Up to three different seat and door mirror settings can be saved into the memory system that links to the central locking remote controls. Each remote triggers the corresponding setting from the last time that particular remote control was used.
To ensure the perfect visibility while reversing, power-folding rear head restraints can be folded with the touch of a single button from the driver's seat. They fold forwards so that the rear passengers can raise them again after entering the car.
Adjustable air vents keep rear-seat passengers in a comfortable and warm climate. Electronic Climate Control (ECC) ensures a pleasant in-car climate for all passengers. The driver and front-seat passenger can regulate the temperature individually for each side. A built-in cabin filter prevents dust, pollen, and exhaust particles from entering the cabin via the ventilation system.
The interior of the 2013 Volvo S60 also includes a power moonroof, and it offers 12 cubic feet of cargo space, which can be expanded by folding the rear seats.
The 2013 Volvo S60 features anti-lock brakes with optimized hydraulics to help to ensure a short stopping distance in all situations. Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) helps to use brakes to the fullest extent in case of an emergency situation, while Ready Alert Brakes (RAB) anticipates severe braking and prepares for it by moving the brake pads closer to the discs. Fading Brake Support (FBS) automatically compensates for the higher pedal forces required after long periods of heavy braking. Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) distributes the braking effect between the front and rear wheels to achieve optimal results according to load and driving conditions. The S60 also comes equipped with city safety, which is designed to save the car in lower speed collisions inside the city.
Dynamic stability and traction control enhance driving stability in slippery conditions. This system helps the car steer in the intended direction. When necessary, it cuts engine power or brakes to individual wheels to help reduce skidding and maintain control.
The advanced stability control function features a roll rate gyro sensor and acceleration sensor to detect slowly built up skids at an early stage and compensate for them. Corner traction control by Torque Vectoring balances the torque between the front wheels during acceleration while cornering. This enhances stability when cornering at higher speeds. For a sportier drive, select the Sport Mode. It shuts off the spin regulation and allows more rear skidding and more fun for the driving enthusiast.
The 2013 Volvo S60 also features dual-stage airbags, energy-absorbing structures, seat belts, and other traditional safety features. Overall, the S60 is a safe car with the combination of these technical and traditional safety features. The Insurance Institute for Highway safety gives the Volvo S60 a ""Good"" rating for these safety features.
Very powerful engines power the 2013 Volvo S60. The T5 comes with a 2.5-liter, five-cylinder engine, and the others have a 3.0-liter, V-6 engine. The T5's engine can produce 250 horsepower with 266 lb-ft of torque. The T6 AWD produces 300 horsepower with 325 lb-ft of torque, and the T6 AWD Redesigned can produce 325 horsepower with 354 lb-ft of torque. Six-speed automatic transmissions with standard brake functions help to run the car even at high speeds. The mileage for the T5 totals 21/30 mpg city/highway. For the T6 AWD and T6 AWD Redesigned, fuel economy reaches an estimated 18/25 mpg city/highway. Overall, the Volvo S60 gets loaded down with handling features, and it does a good job on both city roads and on the highway.

Nelson Mandela's signature can be seen written on this edition of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, which was circulated South Africa's apartheid-era Robben Island jail in the 1970s.
In honor of Nelson Mandela's 94th birthday: a story about a book, known as the Robben Island Bible.
Prisoners weren't allowed to have reading material — one prisoner was finally allowed one book. The only thing he could think of that would keep him going in prison was Shakespeare's Complete Works. So that's what he got — and he circulated it secretly in the prison. Prisoners signed their favorite passages.
Nelson Mandela chose "Julius Caesar," and signed in front of this line on December 16, 1977, thirteen years after the South African leader went to prison: "Cowards die many times before their deaths."

The Cribb family originally from Rockingham, has been gathering for a Christmas dinner for more than a decade.
It originated in Salisbury, at the home of Patsy Klutz, while mother Cribb was still living. Since Mrs. Cribb's death, it has grown so vastly the family relocated the dinner to the Rockingham VFW. It has become known among the family as "The Cribbs Christmas in Dixie."
Family as far as Chicago, Illinois, come to attend the dinner and catch up with others. The most recent dinner included more than 150 Cribb family members in attendance.
"We had to move it to the VFW in Rockingham now because there's not a home that can hold us all," said Sandra Deese of Rockingham. "We have a blast, seeing all the family members that we wouldn't see otherwise."
The late Ora and Robert Cribb Sr. had 14 children and seven of them remain today. The remaining seven are the senior members that play key roles in pulling the family together for the event each year.
It has become a tradition that includes loads of gifts, games, prizes and of course food. There were four tables lined up with gifts free to all family, and two tables with cakes, pies and other sweet goodies. There were also five tables with old fashioned country cooking and fried chicken. Santa even dropped by for a visit with the children and passed out toys.
"I've always enjoyed doing this and I'll keep doing it as long as I can," said Lena Pope of Rockingham. "Then I think my son will help keep it going."
More than 400 pairs of Wrangler jeans were passed out for the children and young adults. The jeans were donated by the U.S. War Veterans, a non-profit organization founded by Robert "Sonny" Cribb of Greensboro. Sonny also spends the majority of the event, which lasted more than five hours, being the MC.
"We're a tight-knit family that really cares for one another," said Sonny. "I just hope it will pass along to other families."

Mass. man identified by dental records after setting himself on fire in Lincoln
LINCOLN - The Massachusetts man who committed suicide Friday by burning himself to death in a Lincoln parking lot has been identified as Erik Halldorson, 40, of Roslindale, a spokesman at the New Hampshire Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Concord said Monday.
Lincoln Police Chief Ted Smith was one of several officers and firefighters who arrived on the scene at Lincoln Woods -- a popular local hiking area - early Friday morning while Halldorson's body was still engulfed in flames in the lot where hikers park while using the nearby trails.
Smith said Monday the medical examiner's office determined his identity through dental records, although police had a good idea who he was from having been alerted to be on the lookout for him, and having found Halldorson's wallet in the car he left behind.
"You never know; we had to get a positive identification. There was no note that he left here, but he had a dentist's appointment card in his wallet, and he was identified through dental records," Smith said.
A spokesman at the medical examiner's office said Halldorson's death has officially been ruled a suicide, with the cause of death listed as "smoke inhalation and severe thermal burns."
Emergency personnel responded to the scene around 7:45 a.m. Friday after a hiker spotted what he believed was a mannequin in flames and called police. Smith said Friday that Halldorson poured a can of gasoline over himself while he was standing, lit a fire, then ran some distance as flames consumed him. The chief described the caller and young firefighters who responded as shaken by what they saw.
The Boston Police department "was involved" in the lookout for Halldorson late last week, according to Smith. Asked if the man had been described as despondent, the chief said he didn't have that detail, but he described the police effort beforehand as a "welfare check" on Halldorson, who was believed to be headed north.
