I mentioned in another thread that I saw some Burleys in a bike store today and thought I should not hijack the other thread but start my own.
I have been saving for a bent bike for some months now and I am getting close to making a trip to get one, that is why I am excited about my new find. I had originally planned on getting a burley canto but decided against it when they went out of the bike business. I never thought I would see one in a shop and just put them out of my mind and was really thinking of getting an Agio. I like the idea of a medium wheel base bike but am withholding judgement until I can ride a bent.
My real question is what is the comparison between the bacchetta Agio and the Canto. I will be making a cross country trip in the summer of 08 and plan on pulling a trailer.
If I get one of the burleys what do you think the price would be seeing as how they must have been sitting there for quite a while now.
I looked through the window and the bikes looked like Canto's, they had the single bar forward but the light was bad and so it was rather hard to see.
Well enough for now sorry for the length of the post.
Steven, really excited about getting to look at a bent.

A New Life (1988)
Alan Alda is at his best as a recently divorced, irritable, and self-centered Wall Street whiz encountering the pitfalls and pratfalls of his new single status. Feeling distinctly uncomfortable returning to the bar scene, Alda begins to fear he'll be "on the market" for the rest of his life…until Cupid's arrow unexpectedly strikes his heart again. Written and directed by Alda, the film features Ann-Margret as the ex-wife, Veronica Hamel, Mary Kay Place, and Hal Linden.
Action Heroes of the Cliffhanger Serials (1992)
This nostalgic documentary salutes the classic '30s and '40s movie serials that inspired the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" films. See the dashing heroes, dastardly villains, and thrilling stunts that kept audiences on the edge of their seats each week, with scenes from "Flash Gordon," "The Green Hornet," "Batman and Robin," "King of the Rocket Men," and more.
Chronicle of a Summer (1961)
Filmmaker/anthropologist Jean Rouch and sociologist Edgar Morin take to the streets of Paris to ask citizens a simple question–"Are you happy?"–and in the process, influence the art of documentary moviemaking for decades to come. The duo's renowned exercise in "cinema verite" delivers an expansive portrait of a particular time and place while simultaneously revealing timeless human concerns.
An array of classic Hollywood notables–Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Humphrey Bogart, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, John Wayne, and former pitchman-in-chief Ronald Reagan, among others–are featured extolling the virtues of such products as Texaco gasoline, Kool-Aid, Gillette razors, E-Z Pop popcorn, Coca-Cola, and Cheerios in this collection of vintage TV commercials.
Cole Younger, Gunfighter (1958)
Romanticized tale of the notorious outlaw casts Frank Lovejoy as a much older Younger, who offers his talents to help a cowpoke (James Best) purge his town of the power-mad politicians who have the locals under their thumbs. Sagebrush saga also stars Abby Dalton, Jan Merlin, Douglas Spencer.
Fort Vengeance (1953)
With the law at their heels, gambler brothers James Craig and Keith Larsen cross the Montana border into Canada. Their knowledge of the ways of the Sioux quickly find them employment…with the newly formed Mounties. When one sibling betrays his oath–and tries to foment tribal war–the other must stop him at all costs. Colorful oater co-stars Rita Moreno, Reginald Denny, Morris Ankrum.
Hiawatha (1952)
Native American adventure tale inspired by the Longfellow poem casts Vince Edwards as the young Ojibway brave sent on a mission to broker peace with the Dakotah, and who faces peril from those among both tribes who hunger for war. Colorful saga co-stars Yvette Duguay as Minnehaha; with Keith Larsen, Morris Ankrum, Stuart Randall.
Liberace: The Candleabra Collection
"Mr. Showmanship" has rarely glittered as brightly as in this two-disc set of 1953-55 television performances. Featuring episodes from "The Liberace Show" and holiday specials, this presentation follows the flamboyant star as he takes his place at the piano (complete with candelabra, of course) and tickles the ivories–much to the delight of his legions of fans!
She Devil (1957)
Fifties fright film fave featuring shapely Mari Blanchard as a tuberculosis-stricken woman who agrees to act as guinea pig to scientist Jack Kelly's cutting-edge experiments. While the efforts seem to work on the surface, they have turned Blanchard into a mean-spirited manipulator with a criminal mind. Albert Dekker also stars; directed by Kurt Neumann ("The Fly").
The Boy from Oklahoma (1954)
Correspondence-course lawyer Will Rogers, Jr.–not so good with a six-gun, but a whiz with a lariat–seeks to hang up his shingle in a corrupt town. He soon assumes the late sheriff's badge in order to bring grafting mayor Anthony Caruso to heel. Amiable oater co-stars Nancy Olson, Lon Chaney, Jr., Wallace Ford, Slim Pickens, Merv Griffin; directed by Michael Curtiz.
The Diary of a Chambermaid (1946)
A desirable serving girl (Paulette Goddard) in a monarchist French household of the 1880s has her choice of suitors offering wealth, position, or romance. She first sets out to seduce the richest of the eligible men…but soon finds the match to be less than desirable. Will she obtain the best partner, or will her ambitions prove to be her undoing? Perhaps the best of Jean Renoir's Hollywood films; with Hurd Hatfield, Burgess Meredith, and Irene Ryan.
The Falcon Mystery Movie Collection, Vol. 2
Tom Conway's remaining adventures as sleuth Tom Lawrence are collected on two discs. When a Texas playboy is murdered in Manhattan, Lawrence traces the trail back to the Lone Star State in "The Falcon Out West" (1944). When new works by a supposedly dead artist surface, Lawrence goes to Mexico City to investigate in "The Falcon In Mexico" (1944). Lawrence travels to Tinseltown when a cuckolded actor turns up slain in a back lot in "The Falcon In Hollywood" (1944). Lawrence keeps silk smugglers at bay, in the City by the Bay, in "The Falcon In San Francisco" (1945). "The Falcon's Alibi" (1946) better hold up, when the jewelry he's been hired to safeguard disappears. Lastly, Lawrence squares off with murderous thugs after a diamond-synthesizing system in "The Falcon's Adventure" (1946).
The Gun Hawk (1963)
After taking vengeance against his father's killers–and getting badly wounded in a subsequent shootout with sheriff Rod Cameron–aging gunslinger Rory Calhoun seeks to hole up in a tough town where outlaws rule. Will that be enough to stop the determined lawman's pursuit? Rip-roarin' oater co-stars Rod Lauren, Ruta Lee, Morgan Woodward.
The Red Menace (1949)
Produced shortly before the cloud of McCarthyism descended upon the U.S., this propagandistic drama tells the story of a young couple on the run from "communist forces" out to lure them into their way of life. You know what they say: better dead than "red"! Robert Rockwell, Hanne Axman, and Duke Williams star in this tough, documentary-style curio.
West Point: The Complete Series (1956)
To ensure verisimilitude, the producers of this 1956-57 series following the dramatic lives of West Point cadets sought (and received) the cooperation of the military academy as well as the U.S. Department of Defense. Boasting storylines based on actual case files, the program also featured memorable guest stars, including Chuck Connors, Clint Eastwood, and Barbara Eden; Donald May portrayed a fictional cadet early on; includes nine episodes written by a pre-"Star Trek" Gene Roddenberry. AKA: "The West Point Story."

The state report cards are intended to help Michigan schools reach standards established by the No Child Left Behind federal legislation.
The grades are based on combination of MEAP scores and individual school evaluations.
Jackson Public Schools, however, says the evaluation of all but one of its thirteen schools was flawed.
The district claims that data merged from three different state databases was mishandled and as a result, some of the information was erroneous.
Jackson administration also suggests the grades were rushed to meet federal deadlines and funding pressures.
The state Department of Education agrees that some data was not assembled correctly, but says most of the report cards are valid and provide legitimate criteria for school growth.
State officials deny rushing the delivery of the information but do say there was pressure both locally and federally to deliver the report cards.

Plymouth Acclaim Reviews
Plymouth Acclaim Reviews and Owner Comments
I am the 2nd owner of this 95 Plymouth acclaim. My mom and dad bought it brand new.paid 14,225 for it It has been a very sound Running dependable car.I just had to replace the Head and water pump and housing.Hopeing it lasts a few more years. I hope it lasts a few more years
front end popping noise don't know if it ball joint are sturt
I bought this car with 30,000 miles on it. Ran fine until the Head gasket blew. Replaced and ran fine until the timing belt broke at 135,000. Replaced and ran fine until 244,000 and the water pump locked up and broke the belt. It never used a quart of oil between changes and always got 20+ mpg. Well, my problems started when I had a well rate shop replace the pump and belt. The mechanic showed me a little oil from the head gasket, and some minor drips from the cam shaft gaskets. I resisted his efforts to add $1500 to the repairs, as $700 was all I wanted to put in it. He told me it would use oil, but the engine never did. I got it back, and went about 25 miles, and got an oil light. I thought he might have not put enoigh in the engine. Adding 4 quarts brought the dipstick up, and I started home. Before I got there, the oil light again, so I added a couple of quarts, and went back to the shop. I was told the he informed me "that it would use oil." I looked under the car, and could see a 1/8" stream of oil coming out. I would like to know which bolt he put in the wrong place, or which one he left out! I had to junk the car for $200, and buy a 1995 Acclaim. I had to put a new water pump in it, and changed the belt, too. It still has the first quart of oil used. Yes I am ticked, but it won't do me any good. Caveat Emptor! He won't get any more work from me or anyone who will listen.
I bought my plymouth acclaim second hand from a friend of my dads, for an older car, it runs pretty great. My only complaint is it's electrics. I find myself replacing fuses every couple of months, while they arent expensive or hard to replace, it is annoying when your wipers stop working, or when your radio stops, break lights, headlights, etc. For an old car, its a great one. It's not much to look at, but its easy on your pocket in terms of gas and oil. Maybe it's just my car, but i always find myself needing new fuses. So just keep a few in your glove box and just fix them when they go and toss the old ones. Cheers!
This car was bought when it had 35m on it, now has 162m on it! It's been a very dependable car. Great on gas mileage. Parts have been hard to find here lately, but I really don't need to replace alot of items.. just added some driving lights under the bumper..really helps. Only real problems has been the AC pump squeaking when turned on and here lately when it gets hot outside, it shuts down on me... trying resolve it now! 7-10-10 Just got back from a road trip. Since filling up, had gone 107 miles. Then the oil light flickers and then the engine sputters on me, then dies. I disconnected the + terminal and then replaced it. Then it started up again, but down the block dies on me... it's garaged now. 7-14-2010 I've not run the car too much here lately. Now, when I start it up, the engine races on me. When I go down the road, the car idles at 20 mph..
i bought this car because it had mileage of 20071 for a 1994. even though the paint was faded and very minor rust, i bought it anyway because of the low mileage off craigslist. right when i bought it the radiator was spraying coolant so changed that right away. changed thermostat. overall though the engine is strong for a 4 cylinder fuel injection and i don't have problems with it. its a gas efficient car and its nice to find one like i did with a clean interior. keep the interior out of the sun with the sun shade if you care to take care of it. hopefully nothing else goes bad on the car.
Awesome car that just keeps on running - forever. Best gas mileage in any car I've ever owned. It passes gas stations ALWAYS! The heater blows heat in 5 minutes and you'll think you're in Egypt with pyramids and sand dunes. Engine is reliable, little to no maintenance with regular oil changes since 1990. Its 09 and still have original brake parts - can't wear this thing out.
Over all good vehicle. Lots of power. With good fuel mileage. What more can you ask for? Has a very basic, but comfy and roomy interior. The 3 speed automatic tranny with lock up torque converter is awsome. Very nice power bands throughout all gears and drives effortlessly on the highway.

If you're a mother AND a writer, does that necessarily mean that you're a narcissistic and potentially emotionally neglectful mom? That's a question that was plaguing me as I recently left the theater after watching the latest indie flick from filmmaker Noah Baumbach, "Margot at the Wedding [1]," starring Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jack Black.
Kidman played Margot Zeller a short story writer from New York City who seemed to exist in her own world where she has no notion of how her hurtful and brutal non-stop commentary, largely aimed at her son Claude (Zane Pais) and her sister Pauline (Leigh), whose Hamptons wedding she was slated to attend with Claude, wounded all of those who she supposedly loved. As she openly toyed with the notion of leaving her two sons and her writer husband Jim (John Turturro), Margot was engaged in an affair with another writer, who just so happened to live near her sister's home in the
As I watched the film unfold – I won't spoil plot surprises for those of you who will wade through the well-acted-though-melancholy and occasionally darkly amusing scenes – I wondered if we were in the midst of some kind of mini-trend when it came to silver screen depictions of writers who happened to also be mothers with young kids. Was it just this character, who only saw herself and her own desires, who was portrayed as a mom-writer-on-the-edge, or were there other theatrical portrayals of mom-writers in recent films?
The first obvious mom-writer character who came to mind as I walked to my car came from writer/director Baumbach's critically acclaimed 2005 movie, "The Squid and the Whale [2]" about two writers and parents of 10-year-old and 16-year-old sons who got divorced and opted not to shield their children from the ugliness that sometimes accompanies the dissolution of a marriage. The mother, Joan Berkman (Laura Linney) was an up-and-coming scribe and, as she was trying to extricate her life from her selfish novelist husband's -- Bernard (Jeff Daniels) -- on whom she cheated, she emotionally pulled away from her sons in order to establish her independence. However Joan wasn't as verbally cruel to her children as Margot was to her teenaged son Claude in "Margot at the Wedding," where Margot criticized her child's appearance, his personality and virtually everything just shy of the way in which he breathed, making it seem as though he had to constantly win anew her affection and attention. Baumbach, who has said he's fond of writing about writers [3] (his parents were writers), compared the parents in "Margot at the Wedding" and "The Squid and the Whale" by telling the New York Times [4] , "I was interested in how adults and children occupy the same space," adding that, in life, there's a lot of blurring and "messiness of the parent-children dynamic."
The next film mom-writer who popped into my head was Annette Bening's role in last year's similarly espresso–dark fare, "Running with Scissors [5]", based on writer Augusten Burroughs memoir [6] of the same name. Bening, in a Golden Globe nominated performance, played Deirdre Burroughs, a mentally ill egomaniac who believed she'd one day become a beloved writer and poet. When her alcoholic husband Norman (Alec Baldwin) left her and their young son Augusten (Joseph Cross), Deirdre slipped even further into her own delusional world, focusing almost entirely on herself and essentially ignoring her son to such an extreme that she handed custody of him over to her lunatic therapist, abandoning Augusten to live in a filthy, emotionally toxic home. "Every mother needs a little help," the film's trailer said.
Yikes. Are all mom-writers nuts, or just the ones in these particular movies?
Then I remembered one more film that featured a mother with young kids who was also a writer that was decidedly of a different vein: The 2003 remake of "Cheaper by the Dozen [7]," starring Bonnie Hunt as the mom of (*gasp*) 12 who wrote a book and, when she had the temerity to leave the house that was teeming with children to go on a book tour, hilarity, not dark insane-asylum material, ensued. (Any time Steve Martin is the dad figure in a movie, it's a safe bet that chaos and slapstick will be involved.) Now that feature didn't make the mother look selfish or like a mentally ill woman on the verge of a bad mom breakdown. At least that's one.
So, do mom-writers always equal selfish bad parents? Only in those dark, independent films, apparently.

Selecting Tomato Plants for Your Garden10 photos
Whether you're new to the joys of growing tomatoes or a long-term tomato aficionado, choosing from among the thousands of varieties is tough. Here's how to make sense of all the options.
Lots of Choices
Besides the obvious variation in size, shape, color and intended use of tomatoes, the plants that produce them vary in life cycle, growth habit, time to maturity, disease resistance and special characteristics such as tolerance to heat or cold. And every category of tomato includes those differences.

Liz Aikenhead has a to-die-for kitchen. It's the type of kitchen that makes visitors wish they had a stockbroker's salary so they could rip out their last-renovated-in-the-'70s room and replicate her stylish space.
She has all the wants: Sleek teak lower cabinets, drawers and doors that close so silently her two 20-year-old daughters and their friends can comb for food at midnight and you'd barely hear them, Carrera marble countertops, a bathtub-sized stainless sink, stainless steel shelving, two built-in double-door pantries and restaurant-style appliances.
Now this woman loves to cook and will whip up Batali-esque meals for anyone who happens to just "pop in" for a visit. So, after years of entertaining in a tiny, outdated mish-mashed kitchen, if anyone deserved to splurge on high style and go for a fancy kitchen, it was she. But wait. Her new kitchen isn't custom. It's Ikea.
It may be hard to believe you can find designer style for your kitchen at the checkout line, but it's true. Buying a kitchen at a big box store is increasing in popularity, and, when installed with a few extra made-to-order accessories, it's hard to tell the difference between the kitchen you painstakingly put together with an Allen key and the one your Prada-clad interior designer convinced you was worth boosting your never-ending mortgage for.
"The trick is mixing and matching the stock items with a few custom pieces that you just can't live without," Ms. Aikenhead says. "For me, it was choosing simple, modern cabinetry that was extremely affordable and splurging on the honed-marble countertop. I wanted it to be sleek and modern with a touch of the Old World. The end result is a gorgeous kitchen that didn't break the bank."
Amy Kent and Ryan Martin of Croma Design in Toronto have been designing clean-lined contemporary kitchens for years, but recently they started noticing a trend among their clients. More and more, people were requesting ways to keep the cost of the cabinetry down while still splurging on certain finishes. So, after piecing together a handful of kitchens with Ikea cabinetry topped with CaesarStone and stainless tub sinks, the duo launched Croma Express.
The outfit is a sidearm of their interior design business, that, for the cost of a consultation or two, will design the kitchen of your dreams based on a modular kitchen from a big-box store such as Ikea, Rona or Home Depot.
"Basically, we are giving our design services at a reduced rate and the easiest way to do that is by starting with a basic but very stylish kitchen that you can buy off the shelf," says Ms. Kent. "We give you the full layout of your kitchen and a list of the cabinets that you need to buy, plus a recommendation of the other items that will kick your kitchen up a notch -- like marble countertops or interesting flooring."
Essentially, they distill the design process down to a few approved big-box cabinet choices (meaning they have a handful of favourites; not all make the cut), throw in a choice of handles and knobs from various suppliers, and always recommend a high-end tile backsplash (think of it as your investment piece) and then top off the design package with a couple of killer options for countertops -- so that by the time it's all installed, you have a kitchen that bears little resemblance to Page 9 of Ikea's or Home Depot's catalogue.
Jeanette Hlinka, a Torontobased interior designer, is also a big believer in big-box kitchens. In fact, her latest project displays Ikea cabinetry in different colours for the tops and bottoms, with supercool handles, flooring and countertops that only a seasoned designer would know where to source from. "If you are fearless and prepared to do some work, then this is a great affordable way to renovate," she says. "It can actually be quite a creative process because you can use the standard pieces like Lego -- just mix and match the pieces to make it work."
The best part is, if the off-the-rack cabinets don't come in the size to fit the awkward, narrow space left after all the regular cabinetry is placed, you can simply slice a standard cabinet down to fit, to create the perfect storage space for cutting boards and cookie sheets. And should your two-year-old happen to draw on your brand-new white lacquered doors -- you can always make a pit stop on the weekend and replace the door for less than $100 instead of special ordering a new door from the custom cabinet maker.
But it's not just reconfiguring the cabinetry that makes for a personalized statement, it's everything else that goes with it. Croma's Ryan Martin has a few tricks that he uses to turn mass-market kitchens into something magazine-worthy.
"First, we always believe in upgrading your backsplash so that it can become the focal point of your kitchen. A really fabulous tile or sheet of stainless steel will add high style to your kitchen," he says. "We also often choose to forgo the upper cabinets and install open shelving for a more sleek and sophisticated look."
The Croma team also suggests upgrading hardware and plumbing fixtures. These accessories are the jewels of your kitchen, so you may as well splurge a little and let the bling get noticed. And when it comes to the actual layout of a kitchen, they always recommend knocking out a wall or two to open the kitchen up to the rest of the house -- to enable you to create an island (where doable), with the rest of the kitchen wrapping around it.
"Cabinets are only a part of the room," adds Ms. Hlinka. "Lighting and accessories go a really long way in making it you. And sometimes those things take time to find. But don't worry about it -- building the personality of your kitchen is something that should take months of playing around and experimenting with different items. But once it's done, I guarantee no one will be able to tell your kitchen from a high-end custom job.

I have an IMac Pro.
I wanted to install Windows 7, so I created a partition with
Bootcamp, and installed Windows 7. Everything was fine, Windows was working and the Mac too.
After two days, I started the Mac, and it just got stuck at the loading screen.
I waited for one hour, and it didn't start. The 2nd time I booted the computer in Mac after that problem, it got stuck again, and a rare loading bar appeared.
Since that day, Mac doesn't boot, I don't know if the bootcamp or Windows is doing something to my Mac partition.
What could be happening?
I tried to repair the OS, I verified the disk, and repaired it. It says that there is a problem with the B-Tree catalog, and the system can not be repaired...

A Wounded Warrior's special holiday
Army Sgt. First Class Chris Montera heard plenty of encouraging words during his miraculous recovery from catastrophic wounds he suffered in a bomb blast in Afghanistan in March.
But one man's words stayed in his mind.
Montera, who grew up fishing and working on the Point Loma sportfishing docks as the son of Captain Ray Montera, had been asked early in the interview in his barracks room at Balboa Naval Hospital if anyone's words really helped him. The interview then went in many different directions, but in the end, Chris steered it back to that early question.
"I was thinking about what you asked me, that if anyone ever said anything to me that helped me," Montera said. "It was something that was said to me when I first joined. It wasn't said after I got hurt. It actually was said by my recruiter. He just told me that there are going to be some days you're going to have your head in the mud. But he said, no matter what, you gotta pick yourself out of it because no one is going to do it for you. I think with all the support and everything I've gotten, that lifted me up, too. Now I'm under pressure. I have people counting on me. Just like before."
His recruiter's words of wisdom fit in well with how Montera described battling back from death's door after that blast in Afghanistan nearly killed him. It took his legs, but it didn't touch his incredible spirit or amazing courage.
"The best way I can describe it is that it's like trying to climb up a muddy hill," said Montera, who turns 33 on Sunday. "For every step I take, I might slide back a step or two. But you just fight your way up the hill."
His devoted family -- father, Captain Ray, mother, April, and younger brother, Kyle, 26, have been with him every step of the way. At least one of them has been at his side ever since he was transported from Afghanistan to Germany to Texas and Palo Alto and finally San Diego and Balboa Naval Hospital.
"It broke my heart when I first heard it," Kyle said. "Took me a couple days to come to peace with it. Was really hard when I first saw him, but once I knew he was going to make it, it was OK."
Kyle, who remains in the Army Reserve after four years of active duty that included a stretch in Iraq, was asked how it changed him, how it changed the family.
"The way it changed me . . . I just became more caring," he said, fighting back emotion.
"He's the softy in the family," Chris joked, showing a sense of humor that no doubt has helped him get through some very tough days.
His mom, April, was the rock in the Montera formation that brought Chris back. She wrote daily updates on the Christopher Montera Support Group Facebook page. She took time off work to make sure her son made it. When someone told her the fleet should get together to support a Wounded Warrior, one of its very own, she gathered close friends and put together a bash like no other, ever, at the fully donated Bali Hai. It was more reunion and celebration than fundraiser. She said close to $95,000 has been raised thus far and they hope to hit $100,000.
When Chris heard how many people turned out for the fundraiser last month to help him on his journey back, he couldn't believe it.
"My best friend said it took him almost half an hour to get in the door of the Bali Hai because the line was so long," Chris said. "I was amazed. I'm still amazed that there was such a huge showing. I wasn't expecting that much."

One of my blogging friends Donna asked last week if I would talk about pingbacks and trackbacks. I'm always happy to receive post ideas from you guys, so of course!
Pingbacks and trackbacks are pretty much used interchangeably these days. Think of them as a little way for blogs to communicate with each other. WordPress has this feature built in, so we may notice these more than those bloggers on other platforms. If I link to a post on your WP blog from my WP blog, a little message (or ping) is sent to you letting you know I may be talking about you. That pingback will likely show up under your comments, and you have the option to approve or trash it just like any other comment.
Like so many things in our blogging world, pingbacks started out as a fabulous networking tool…and turned into something that less savory bloggers started abusing. These can be a great way to solicit traffic.
Here's an example of how it ideally would work:
- You are talking about a hot topic in your blog post.
- I have my own spin, so I piggyback on that for my own readers while linking up to you.
- You receive and approve that pingback.
- There is now a little link back to my blog post in your comments.
- Your readers may hop over to see what I have to say on the topic.
- I've just introduced myself to your readers.
Sounds like a great idea, right? It sure does to a lot of sploggers. They want to get in on your traffic.
I don't approve a pingback without checking it out first. The majority of the time, they are coming from a splog (spam blog). They may have an automated "related posts" tool installed on their blogs that gathers up links from around the web. Your post topics may not be related in any way.
I also receive them when someone tweets my posts. I don't feel it is necessary to provide you with "social proof" that I am a cool blogger. You are either going to find a post useful, or you are not. I am not going to try to convince you otherwise by showing that Jane, Susie, Mary and Kelly all thought this was a great post and shared it with their friends, so you probably should too. (C'mon! Cave into that peer pressure. Everyone is doing it.)
Another thing about the "tweetbacks" as I call them, from the reader standpoint it is rather messy. If you are talking about a controversial or confusing topic, I am going to read through your comments to see what your readers had to say. Maybe I have a question that I want to see if another reader already asked and you answered. Rather than your comments being easy to follow, I now see this:
- "Great post!"
- Jill tweeted this.
- Mary tweeted this.
- Bill tweeted this.
- "Can you elaborate on x further, it doesn't work that way for me?"
- Sue tweeted this.
- Jim tweeted this.
- Molly tweeted this.
- "I totally disagree with your analysis. This is what I find…"
- Trisha tweeted this.
- So on and so forth.
We are all running on limited time around here. I've just wasted a lot of it by being forced to read who is retweeting your post. Imagine how much time it would have saved me if I could have had those three relevant comments handed up in one easy-to-read stream. No junk! Chances are pretty good that I left before I had my question answered or could leave my own comment.
You are free to do as you like on your own blog. This is how I run things. If it is a extension of our conversation here, I'll approve it. If it is junk, I won't. You guys are telling me on a fairly regular basis that you are strapped for time. I want you to have the best experience you can in the limited amount of time you have here. I also don't care to promote a splog. You may not only be sending your readers to their less than informative blog, you may also be linking to a blog the search engines have categorized negatively. Check them out before you approve. They aren't just linking to you if you approve them, you are now linking to them. You can't control incoming links, the search engines accept that. However, you can control what sites you are linking to.

Some thoughts by Jim Rickards on "world money".
US dollar should be strong but the FED depreciates it on an ongoing basis.
SDRs will be issued again by the IMF (US controlled) when a liquidity crisis happens because the FED is too overleveraged to do it again with US dollars.
SDRs that are gold backed as opposed to being backed by nothing (like the US dollar) is his preference although the original world money concept of a BANCOR had a larger commodity basket backing (that included gold).
SDRs are not money people will be carrying around.
Be defensive ! Do you understand the threat ??! I think all this means we should have some investments in commodities like oil, gold, potash, uranium, etc ???!

I just go my American Heiress Tee with the cool back zipper, now on sale at the Gap US, so you might want to check it out. Right now, a Gap is running a Black Magic special on Black Pants, so watch for that deal at your local stores. In the US, print this coupon for 30% off at the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic through Sunday, August 29.

Drinks, trainers and protein shakes which purport to be performance enhancing have a "striking lack of evidence" to back up their claims, a study suggests.
Researchers said that it was "virtually impossible" for the public to make informed choice about the benefits and harms of advertised sports products.
The study's authors examined the science behind the marketing and found that more than half of 104 performance enhancing products made claims which were not substantiated by any evidence.
The researchers from the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine judged that of those that do, half of the evidence is not suitable for critical appraisal.
Do sports drinks really do what they say on the tin?
The vast majority of the critically appraised studies (84%) were judged to be at high risk of bias, according to the research which is published in the online journal BMJ Open.
The absence of high-quality evidence is "worrying", the authors conclude.
"There is a striking lack of evidence to support the vast majority of sports-related products that make claims related to enhanced performance or recovery, including drinks, supplements and footwear," they write.
"Half of all websites for these products provided no evidence for their claims, and of those that do, half of the evidence is not suitable for critical appraisal.
"No systematic reviews were found, and overall, the evidence base was judged to be at high risk of bias."
Deborah Cohen, BMJ investigations editor, said: "These misleading messages filter down to everyday health advice by company-sponsored scientists who advise high-profile sports bodies.
"For instance, fear about the dangers of dehydration has become gospel and now influences what and how we drink when we exercise. It's a triumph of marketing over science."
A BMJ and BBC Panorama investigation, which examines the research, also looks at claims that found that while sports drinks may be helpful for elite athletes, the drinks companies rarely study ordinary gym goers.
The Panorama investigation also suggests that the European Food Safety Authority should do more to regulate these marketing claims.
Dr Matthew Thompson, senior clinical scientist at Oxford University's department of primary health care sciences, told the programme he would like to see "a more scientific and rigorous approach" to assessing the basis of food claims in Europe.
Professor John Brewer, head of sport science at the University of Bedfordshire, said: "There is a wealth of high-quality scientific evidence supporting the sensible use of sports drinks and nutritional supplements in appropriate environments.
"Whilst those who exercise as a means of keeping fit and losing weight may find that water is a useful and simple means of staying hydrated and do not therefore require sports drinks, those who compete intensively for long durations have been shown by numerous studies to improve their performance through the sensible consumption of sports drinks.
"It is essential that athletes who use sports supplements chose reputable manufacturers who can justify their claims with scientific evidence, and have their products screened to ensure they do not contain WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) banned substances."
A spokesman for the British Soft Drinks Association said: "It is well established that one of the factors that can help sporting performance is drinking the right amount of the right kind of drink, and there is a range of sports drinks available which are designed to meet the varying requirements of different kinds of exercise.
"Their formulation is based on the latest scientific evidence and medical knowledge, and sports drinks carry nutritional information on the label, including the calorie content.
"By helping people participating in sport to perform better and to recover more quickly, sports drinks can encourage people to exercise more."
Panorama - The Truth About Sports Products airs tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
Having trouble nodding off? It stands to reason the more energy you expend during the day the more likely you are to be able to fall asleep easily without feeling restless. Beware of exercising too close to bedtime though as this can leave you feeling over-stimulated and wide awake.
Running boosts blood flow and oxygen to the brain. It also promotes the growth of new brain cells. Studies suggest the effects are strongest in the hippocampus, the region of the brain associated with learning and memory.
As a weight-bearing exercise, running helps to build strength in your bones and can reduce the risk of bone disease, osteoporosis.
Running makes the skin appear plumper and smoother by boosting the production of collagen in the skin cells and promotes a clearer complexion by transporting nutrients and flushing out waste. By stimulating circulation and drawing blood to the surface of the skin it promotes a rosy glow while toning the muscles in the face to counteract sagging.
Forget reaching for the chocolate to cheer yourself up. Instead, get your running shoes on. A natural anti-depressant, running stimulates the brain's pituitary gland to release endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Plus you won't get any of those post-chocolate guilt pangs - just a feeling of achievement.
As well as boosting your mood, running increases your ability to cope with everyday stress. Go for a run in the morning before work and you'll be in a much better frame of mind to cope with the day's ups and downs.
Running changes the speed with which your body is able to burn fat by altering your metabolism. The average person burns approximately 300 calories per half hour of 10-minute-mile running, making it one of the best energy and fat burning exercises there is.
Not only will running help you lose inches, it will help you convert excess fat to muscle, leaving you with a leaner and more defined silhouette - including the upper body as well as your calves, thighs and bottom.
A 2010 study of 1,000 people, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that regular exercise nearly halved the chances of catching cold viruses, or at the least, made the infection less severe.

Football Puts Scare In State No. 1-Ranked Mt. SAC, Season Ends In 33-30 Defeat
One team was playing for a perfect regular season. The other team was playing for pride. Both teams accomplished their goals Saturday night.
The Pasadena City College football team did everything it could to upset state No. 1-ranked Mt. San Antonio, but Jeremy Brown's 27-yard field goal as time expired gave the Mounties a 33-30 victory at Hilmer Lodge Stadium in Walnut.
Mt. SAC finished an undefeated regular season at 10-0, including a 5-0 mark to capture the National Southern Conference title. The Lancers, a team that started the year at 4-0, finished 4-6 and winless in the NSC at 0-5.
PCC stunned Mt. SAC in taking a 27-6 lead in the first half. The Mounties cut it to 27-16 by halftime and caught up to the Lancers, 30-30, by the end of the third quarter. Brown's field goal, his fourth of the game, was the only scoring by either team in the fourth quarter.
Lancers' starting quarterback Caleb Fore, who twice was replaced in the top role during the season, saved his best collegiate game for last for PCC. Fore completed 23 of 43 passes for 361 yards and one touchdown while also leading PCC in rushing with a net 33 yards in 12 attempts. Fore completed a 42-yard TD pass to wide receiver Reuben Thomas III that gave PCC an early 14-0 lead.
A week after he hauled in four touchdown passes, Thomas again played a spectacular game with 11 receptions for 227 yards. It was the third highest receiving yards total in PCC history.
Manako Tuifua, who had played mostly nose tackle and offensive line for the Lancers in his two seasons here, scored three short touchdown runs of 2, 1, and 2 yards in the first half. Sophomore kicker-punter Brian Gonzalez, who was 3-for-4 on extra point kicks, boomed a 45-yard field goal with 1:50 left in the third quarter to extend the Lancers lead at that point, 30-23.
PCC transfer wide receiver Michael Harrison added three receptions that gave him 61 catches for the season, third highest in total passes caught for a season in school history.
Defensively, linebacker Cordell Robinson made 10 tackles and his team-leading seventh sack. Safety Tevin McCaskill added eight tackles and intercepted his third pass that allowed him to lead the team in pickoffs in a tie with injured teammate Omar Smith.
"We left everything on the field," said PCC interim head coach Dennis Gossard, who has likely coached his final PCC game after 32 seasons serving as both an assistant and head coach.
"We played the best team in the state and gave them a battle they didn't want. I couldn't be more proud of a team than the effort by our men tonight. The only thing that hurt was the ending. When you go 10-0, you find ways to win and that's what Mt. SAC did."
The Mounties won their final three games all on winning scores in the final seconds. Twice, they won on the final play of the game. Quarterback Nick Lamaison completed 33 of 51 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns.
Among some of PCC's season leaders were freshman linebacker Kimball Niumatalolo, who led the squad in tackles with 79. Thomas again was the team's scoring leader with 10 touchdowns, giving him 25 for his career here. Frosh defensive end Charles Tua'au paced PCC with 17 tackles for loss and seven quarterback hurries.
PCC's All-NSC selections will be announced later this month on this website.

Ned Yost media session: June 3
When Ned Yost met with the media in his office this morning the absence of Mike Moustakas in the lineup was the first item discussed. Yost said everything is fine with Moose, he just wanted to give him a day off to get some rest. Moose has not had a day off since the sixth game of the season when the Royals were at Oakland and they saw today as an opportunity to give him a little break. Yost said he does not think it will be a total day off for Moose, however, and he looks to use his defense in maybe the sixth or seventh inning of today's game if and when the Royals have the lead. Yost said Moose has been fantastic for them and it was tough to even give him the day off today because of his level of play. He went on to say you have to pick your spots and since he hasn't had a break since the sixth game today was a good day with the lefty going for Oakland.
A's starter Tommy Milone and his last outing against the Royals was the second topic brought up by the media. Milone only allowed three hits through eight innings of work in his last start against KC winning 1-0 on April 9 in Oakland. Yost commented about the last time by saying Milone changed speeds extremely well and located his fastball extremely well. He went on to say Milone is a command guy and when he commands his pitches he moves the ball in and out while changing speeds which keeps hitters off balance and is very tough to hit.

Also, there are Egg Hunts at the OC Fairgrounds & in San Clemente, which is always fun to see. Both events are free and open to the public. See their websites for detailed information, times, etc. And, of course, the strawberry festival is still going on at Tanaka Farms. Kids of all ages love the ride around the farm, looking at the vegetables, and the best part....you get to bring some of their delicious strawberries home! (See their website for tour times and prices....reservations are always recommended!) And this weekend, Cinderella is playing this weekend at the Irvine Barclay Theater! Advanced tickets are required, but it's a great way to spend an afternoon with your kids!
Have a wonderful Easter and Passover (and any other celebrations you might have!), everyone, and enjoy spending time with your kiddos this weekend!
Summer Activities Fair @ PretendCity
Fun things to do this weekend!
This weekend marks the beginning of Strawberry Tours at Tanaka Farms. It's funny, kids in Orange County sometimes really miss out on farming and agriculture, but at Tanakea Farms, they can get a little taste of homegrown food! A tour includes a ride around the farm in a tractor pulled wagon, the different fruits and vegetables you get to taste on the farm, and a one pound basket of strawberries to pick and take home. (Check the website for prices and to make reservations!)
Also, this is the last weekend for the Festival of Whales in Dana Point. The whales have been amazing this year, and this weekend the weather should be perfect for a day with the kids on the Dana Point Wharf. There are lots of activities for the whole family....kids of all ages will have a wonderful time with all the activities! Enjoy!
The Whales are Back in Dana Point!!!
Recommended Kids' Books
A rainy weekend is upon us in South Orange County, so it's a perfect time to head to the local library with your little kiddos! Oprah.com has recommended books for children (of any ages). Check out her top picks, as well as tips on how to help make your kids life-long readers & learners!Â

Paying back Uncle Sam
A regulatory filing Wednesday afternoon from First Tennessee Bank's parent company First Horizon National Corp:
"On March 9, 2011, First Horizon National Corporation completed the purchase and cancellation of a common stock purchase warrant issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2008 in connection with First Horizon's participation in the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. The warrant had given to the Treasury the right to purchase 14,842,321 of First Horizon's common shares for $8.757 per share. First Horizon paid the Treasury $79.7 million to purchase the warrant. The warrant purchase was preceded by First Horizon's purchase on December 22, 2010 of all outstanding shares of preferred stock which First Horizon had issued to the Treasury in 2008 under the Capital Purchase Program. The Treasury no longer holds any securities of First Horizon under that Program."

Friday News, August 23
FAA Says Le Mars Proposed Water Tower May Need To Change
(Le Mars) -- Le Mars City officials may need to change their plans for a new one million
gallon water tower since the Federal Aviation Administration has said the original plan
calling for the water tower to be located in the southwest corner of Le Mars, would be in
direct line with the flight path for the Le Mars Municipal Airport. The FAA says the
proposed water tower that was to be 140 feet tall would be a hazard to airplanes using the
airport. FAA officials have told city leaders the water tower should not be any taller than
86 feet for the proposed location. Le Mars City Administrator Scott Langel says the city
is considering its options.
Listen to
Langel clarifies the FAA position with regards to the proposed water tower.
Listen to
The city bought slightly more than two acres of land for the tower and booster station in
southwest Le Mars. Langel says officials believe that's the best spot for a tower, but
something will need to change if the FAA sticks by its decision.
Listen to
Langel says two contracted engineering firms are already reviewing the location and
design of the tower. They may have to change the configuration of the water storage
facility. During Tuesday's meeting, the city council rejected the submitted bids for the
construction of the water tower and booster station.
Two People Die In Sioux City Fire
(Sioux City) -- Two people are dead following a house fire yesterday at Sioux City. Authorities say 58 year old Steve Smid and his wife, 58 year old Susan Smid, both perished in the fire at their home at 1210 Wright Avenue.
Sioux City Fire Marshall Mark Aesoph says firefighters and police were dispatched to the scene around 8:20 a.m.
Listen to
Aesoph says the victims likely died of smoke inhalation, and autopsies are pending. He says there were two smoke detectors in the home.
Listen to
Aesoph says the fire extinguished itself by burning up all the oxygen in the home and that there may not have been enough smoke to activat the basement detector. Both victims were employed by the Sioux City School District. Susan Smid was a music teacher while Steve Smid worked for the district's food services department.
Le Mars Fire Department To Host Water Contest
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department will be holding a water fight contest on Sunday at noon at the Fareway Grocery Store parking lot. That water fight contest will feature several area fire departments. Dave Schipper, Le Mars Fire Chief says the contest is not just for fun, but it actually serves a purpose.
Listen to
Last year, six different fire departments participated in the annual event. Schipper says trophies will be awarded to the contest's winners.
Schaffer Pleads Not Guilty To Robbing Heritage Bank
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A 53-year-old Nebraska man has pleaded not guilty to a charge that he robbed a northwest Iowa bank last fall.
Richard Shaffer, of Omaha, Neb., made his plea on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Sioux City. Shaffer is accused of robbing Heritage Bank in downtown Sioux City on Oct. 12.
Police say a robber gave a teller a note demanding cash and escaped with more than $3,700.
The robber didn't appear to be armed.
Shaffer's trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 7.
Sioux City Wins Battle With Speed Cameras
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Sioux City has won another round in its fight with the state over two speed cameras along Interstate 29.
A judge on Wednesday rejected the Iowa Transportation Department's request to dismiss a
temporary injunction. The injunction has barred the state from removing the cameras and
related signage. Judge Jeffrey Poulson said the state failed to prove the cameras were
obstacles in the roadway.
The judge granted the temporary injunction last month. Assistant City Attorney Justin
Vondrak says the city will seek a permanent injunction to keep the cameras in place.
Grassley To Visit Le Mars
(Le Mars) -- U-S Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has planned constituent meetings in 15 Iowa
Communities, including Le Mars. The Republican Senator says with these meetings, Grassley
will have been to every one of the state's 99 counties this year for meetings with Iowans.
Grassley has scheduled a visit to Le Mars for next Wednesday, August 28th. He will be at
the Floyd Valley Hospital Conference Room beginning at 8:00 a.m.
