I hurt. Today I wrote my back to work for the first time. I got a KHS Urban-X last Thursday and I was very excited about riding it to work (I have a 5 mile commute).
Last night I rode my bike half of the way to work and back to prepare myself for the ride. This was my first time riding since I was young and I had only done reading on how to ride in traffic, etc. I picked a route that had a bike lane for 75% of the distance.
When I woke up this morning I was sore in the seat/crotch from the bike ride last night. Ouch. But I really, really wanted to ride this morning anyways. So I lowered the seat some so that I could sit far back on the seat and not irritate my existing soreness.
The ride was scary and difficult. I have a lot of trouble stopping at intersections without jumping forward on my bike. That is not easy to do while I am slowing down...since I was sore I did not feel like jumping up and down on and off my seat. I have trouble getting started at intersections and balancing while I am going slow.
Now I am in quite a bit of pain. I have taken two anti-inflammatory pain relievers and have been sitting on an ice pack for an hour. I must admit that I was not prepared that I would be so sore from the seat. I am not sure if I should try to ride my bike back this evening after work or take the bus.
Is this all normal?

The year was 1993. Three of us accompanied Paride Taban, bishop of Torit, through southern Sudan looking for the scattered souls of his diocese. He hoped to find a few who had survived the war, hunger and hatred that have killed 2 million and displaced some 4 million in his country.
But the news was all bad — villages burned, thousands dead, tens of thousands scattered into the bush with nothing to eat. An old man described how soldiers smashed the heads of babies and threw them into wells. Taban hung his head. "Do Christians in your countries know about this?" he asked finally. "Have the people who brought Christ to us abandoned us?"

I don't think this game needs more recognition than it already does, but alas! Voted as the 10th Best game and 2nd best Soundtrack of 2012, Hotline Miami is as fun to play on the Vita as it was on the PC. Here's what EatChildren had to say about the game last year:

Smoke hasn't cleared
International | After winning the war for Kosovo a year ago, NATO allies are facing a tougher task: preserving the peace
The espaliered fruit trees of northern Italy are blooming without Gen. Dan Leaf. As wing commander of NATO's air forces in the bombing campaign against Serbia, Gen. Leaf saw winter turn to spring then summer at Aviano Air Base in the foot of the Alps one year ago. Last week he was far, far from any flight line, testifying before Congress on the capability of unmanned aerial vehicles and other exotic weaponry.
In January Gen. Leaf's tour of duty in Italy ended, and he took up a desk job at the Pentagon. "I miss the green bag," he said, referring to the flight suit that was daily attire during Operation Allied Force. NATO's three-month, round-the-clock bombing campaign, which began just over a year ago, was run mostly out of Aviano and under Gen. Leaf's command. His service uniform, now everyday wear in Washington, is weighed down with a few more decorations: Gen. Leaf was awarded a second Legion of Merit-unusual for a one-star general-along with a Defense Superior Service Medal following his most recent combat duty. ("I would categorize them as routine," he said.)
One year after its commencement, NATO's victory over Kosovo remains understated if not controversial. For those who conducted the air campaign, the results were unambiguous. In Gen. Leaf's case, everyone under his command returned home. Thousands of hours of bombing missions and over 700 surface-to-air missile shootings from Serbs did not lead to a single combat casualty (two airmen from Aviano were killed off base in a car accident). Most importantly, Serb forces in Kosovo surrendered June 9.
"They were defiant but they were leaving," Gen. Leaf recalled. "In the military sense, that was the measure of merit." Serb-based ethnic cleansing in Kosovo was over, he says, even though a military win "did not end all the problems in that poor land. Now they have to do something with the opportunity we gave them."
From the Pentagon to Pristina, questions remain about the NATO campaign. Human-rights groups charge the Pentagon with underreporting the number of civilian deaths associated with the bombing campaign. One report said as many as 150 civilians died in various incidents involving the use of cluster bombs. It said 500 civilians were confirmed killed in NATO raids, according to Human Rights Watch. The Pentagon sets the number of civilian casualties at about half that figure, while the Yugoslav government still puts the number of civilian casualties at 5,000.
Human-rights groups and other observers also accuse NATO (and by implication U.S. military brass directing the operation) of turning numbers into propaganda in order to justify entering the Kosovo conflict. At the outset of the campaign last year, NATO spokesmen said they estimated that as many as 100,000 Kosovars had been ethnically cleansed by Serb forces. At a June 25 press conference after the war, President Clinton said "tens of thousands" of Kosovar Albanians had been killed on orders of Mr. Milosevic. Forensics experts who entered the province at the end of the war, however, found far fewer confirmed cases of atrocities. Mass graves reported to contain hundreds of bodies were found to contain fewer than a dozen. The international team, composed of forensic specialists from the FBI and 13 other nations, announced late last year that they had exhumed 2,108 corpses. Not all were confirmed to be ethnic Albanians killed by Serbs. Work for the team will resume this month.
Humanitarian workers in general had very "mixed" feelings about the war, admitted Bob Johnson, dean of the Albanian Bible Institute and 25-year veteran of European missionary activity. When nighttime NATO bombing raids on Serbia began a year ago, the fighter jets from Aviano flew directly over Durrës, Albania, where Mr. Johnson and others already had been receiving Kosovo Albanian refugees.
Refugees began coming into Durrës, a major port and Albania's second largest city, up to six months prior to the NATO campaign. The city was trying to absorb up to 100,000 refugees even before the bombing raids began. The Albanian Bible Institute, together with the churches that supplied it with students, agreed to close the school temporarily and use its resources to serve refugees. A bread factory became a refugee center, and students and faculty transported mattresses and other necessities from the school. They also trucked in three meals a day to the hundreds of Kosovo refugees who began filling the center.
Unlike many other ethnic conflicts, including war in nearby Bosnia, the Kosovo refugees went home when the war ended. UN officials report that over 850,000 of up to 1 million refugees have returned to Kosovo. Many face the daunting task of rebuilding homes and villages, and quieting Serb-Albanian tensions. But Mr. Johnson said it could have been much worse.
Without NATO clearing the way for ethnic Albanians to return, Mr. Johnson said, "Eventually we would have had 2 million refugees living in poor countries like Albania or Macedonia. It would have been worse than Palestinian camps, and they would have been radicalized."
Instead, many church leaders from Albania and workers like Mr. Johnson took help into Kosovo along with the returning refugees. With their assistance, life is returning to some semblance of peace in parts of the region. Nearly 70,000 tons of wheat were harvested last fall-a start to rebuilding Kosovo's largely agrarian economy. Hospitals are being replenished. Stores are reopening. Mr. Johnson and his wife will take up permanent residence in Kosovo later this month, working with USAID to rebuild homes and building a retreat center they hope will one day include a Bible school.
Because some Serbs committed atrocities against the Kosovo Albanians, who are Muslims, in the name of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Mr. Johnson said it was important to minister not by preaching, "but by many acts of love and kindness" at first. The ethnic Albanians "would react to the sign of the cross as Jews would react to a swastika," he said. That has changed. Church workers say Kosovo had no more than five Protestant churches prior to the war; now there are at least 40 church plants. The refugee crisis, ironically, opened up the very provincial and traditionally Muslim region to the Christian gospel. In the last year 75 mission agencies have formed a partnership, the Evangelical League of Kosovo, to work with the young Christian community to further the growth of churches and humanitarian ministries among Kosovars.
Consistent among the returning Kosovars is a desire to be independent from Yugoslavia and its Serbian president, Mr. Milosevic. And that is the heart of the challenge for NATO's peacekeeping mission, known as KFOR. More than 37,000 troops (including 6,000 from the United States) have been unable to stop reverse ethnic cleansing in contested parts of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians, led by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), made a commitment to a political solution and ceded control of rebel areas to KFOR. Recent violence in the northern city of Mitrovica, including a grenade attack that wounded 17 KFOR troops, reveals elements of the KLA are still armed and committed to ridding Kosovo of its Serb minority. In February, KFOR's commander, Gen. Klaus Reinhardt, complained, "When NATO came into Kosovo we were only supposed to fight the Yugoslav army if they came back uninvited. Now we're finding we have to fight the Albanians."
Craig Nation, a military studies professor at the U.S. Army War College who specializes in Kosovo, said maintaining peace will be harder than winning the war. "The good news is that events a year ago really held promise of being open-ended, low- or medium-intensive conflict. That cycle has been broken," he said. "The bad news is that ethnic conflict has not gone away." Creating a multicultural Kosovo with explicit autonomy inside Yugoslavia is, in many ways, as elusive as ever.
"We achieved military ends in Kosovo but not our larger political ends. We still risk failure on those. If we want to achieve them, it will take a different kind of commitment and a longer-term commitment," Mr. Nation said. "It is a lot harder to sell that than to sell a military response to atrocities like we did a year ago."

My 10 Gallon Nano Reef Build
Posted 14 September 2012 - 11:49 PM
Posted 15 September 2012 - 02:49 AM
I'm setting up a ten gallon tank too. What is the reason for the overflow with a canister filter? Also I want to copy your idea of the second aquaclear. That is pure genius. Also is it absolutely necessary to mod the AC70 or can it just be a refugium by inserting chaeto and adding a light?
The overflow is to capture surface scum, oxygenate the water, to house my heater and ATO. Makes things look a lot cleaner when everything is in there. The ATO also works much more efficiently.
You don't need to mod it but it's best if you do. Makes it so cheato doesn't go into the display. It also gives it a good tumble.
been following for 6 months and still not wet. you suck.
It's wet, just been moving slow lol
I'll take pictures of it once my cyano is gone. Just got CUC 3 days ago from reefcleaners.org.
Got a snail only CUC.

Good looking build, looking forward to seeing the livestock....
Thanks jan
I hate waiting to stock this tank up.
this all looks oddly familiar ha ha! nice build
haha well your build really inspired me to build up a 10 gallon. Same general idea with a few tweaks
Posted 21 September 2012 - 02:19 AM
Well I set up the ATO today and it works great. I could not be any happier
No more topping off 2-3 times a day. Waking up in the middle of night to sloshing sounds lol
I extended the acrylic tab so the the magnet will not interfere with the switch, and so far so good. I'm using my old Two Little Fishies algae clip. Can't get anymore aquarium safe than that.
My CUC has really cleaned up the tank. Cleaned the glass, stirred the sand, everything I expect from a good CUC.
I ordered it from reefcleaners.org and I would definitely order from them again. They arrived alive, packaged very well, and even gave me extras These guys are awesome!
I got the 5.5 gallon kit just because I didn't want to overstock on snails when there isn't much food available. But I basically got the 10 gallon kit because of all the extras lol
It's a mixture of dwarf ceriths, Florida ceriths, small nerites, and small nassarius snails.
I got all snails because I've had a lot of rouge hermits already. I may get a 2-3 scarlets, still debating.
Only live stock I have at the moment is a Black Ocellaris Clownfish, Fire Shrimp, and a peppermint shrimp.
Had a piece of aiptasia growing and the shrimp took care of it within 2 days.
I will be getting a PAR38 12-3W Cree LED bulb from OCReef. That's when i'll start stocking up on corals. I really can't wait for that. Might start off with a few mushrooms, zoas, ricordeas, and a few LPS. I'll make my way up a monti or acro later on.
I'm doing weekly water changes. 1 gallon a week.
My parameters are:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5ppm
Phosphate: Undetectable
Temp: 78-80 F
Salinity: 1.024 - 1.025
I am using Red Sea Coral Pro so my calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium are pretty high. I'm not checking those at the moment but I will soon once I get my LED light.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

It's a RapidLED Par38 12 LED with UV. I love this bulb. I can't wait for corals. They will look amazing under this thing.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 10:03 PM
My solution to this was to make a new a fuge light with a driver, single LED heatsink and, one Cree LED.
Im using a moonlight driver by RapidLed and one Cree XP-G cool white.
I sleeved everything to make it look more neat.
Ill post another update once I fit it over the fuge.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 01:55 PM
Posted 09 December 2012 - 02:28 PM
Mounted the fuge light today and it is MUCH brighter. I hope my cheato likes this light better. if not, I'm going to change the led to warm white. Here's are a few pictures of it mounted.
Very cool idea!
Posted 09 December 2012 - 05:52 PM
Whats your plan, mostly sps, lps, softies or a mix?
Also, what do you do to keep your line down at the bottom of your ato reservoir? I tried using a airline suction cup to hold mine near the bottom but it keeps falling off.

Wow, this tank is awesome, its gonna look great with some corals.

Mostly softies and lps. I might get a 2 or sps corals.
I use a 5 gallon jug with some rigid air tubing so it says at the bottom. Works like a charm.
Ill take pictures of it to show you.

It might be a good idea to add feature with which i could poke those users who have posted an answer (some more constraints are likely to be added).
What do you think?

Gauguin purposefully displayed his Père Paillard and its female companion piece, Thérèse, in front of his Polynesian home (which he named the House of Pleasure), so that islanders passing by could appreciate the two carved works. Their meaning was evident to everyone. From Père Paillard (Father Lechery or Debauchery) inscribed on its base, they recognized the local Catholic bishop, Monseigneur Martin, who entreated Gauguin to stop his liaisons with local women, while pursuing them himself (with Thérèse and others) despite his vows of celibacy.
Gauguin shows the bishop for what he considered him to be: a nude, horned devil. Though outwardly pious, Père Paillard's solemn expression and praying hands fail to mask his inner desires. Two nude women, carved in shallow relief near the base of the sculpture, may allude to his private predilection. Its specific context notwithstanding, the sculpture also forcefully embodies the artist's primitive aesthetic and anti-Western values.
Gauguin retained the cylindrical form of the miro wood log (native to the Marquesas Islands where he moved in his final years) in the finished figure, a reflection of his concept of beauty as a harmony between subject and material. For the most part, the sculpture's golden brown surface retains the primitive, rhythmic patterns of the artist's chisels and gouges; only the figure's cheeks, forehead, and jutting chin are filed smooth. Gold paint, used to accent the bishop's eyes, the women, and the inscription, has largely disappeared over time.
Père Paillard
MATERIAL: Painted miro wood
DIMENSIONS: 67.9 x 18 x 20.7 cm (26 3/4 x 7 1/16 x 8 1/8 in.)
COLLECTION: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. Chester Dale Collection

10 Kids Lunchboxes That Make Packing Less of a Chore
Back to School
I admit it: packing the kids' lunches is not my favorite thing to do — especially after a summer of preparing light meals or warming up leftovers and sitting down to eat all together. But as with many of the more mundane things in life, good design makes a sometimes tedious task more pleasant. These adorable lunch bags make the thought of lunch-packing (almost) fun.
5 Tops to Help Kids Transition to Using Real Glasses
Sippy cups have a way of devouring valuable storage space. Why not bypass them entirely with special tops that convert beverage containers you already own? Here are five different ways to work with what you have and put a lid on it.
Como Placemat by Paola Navone
Family Find
Como Placemat
• $8.99
• Crate & Barrel
I like tabletop that looks nice, but is kid-friendly. This one, part of the big Paola Navone collection, reminds me of a sophisticated take on a child's paint drippings. It has a food-safe pvc coating and can be wiped down with a sponge or cloth.
Wire 3-Tier Drying Rack
Family Find
Wire 3-Tier Drying Rack
• $14.99
• World Market
Hoping for a more mature looking bottle and sippy drying rack? This one will do the job and then hold real glasses when you're past the kiddie stage.
On-the-Go Feeding Spoon
Family Find
On-the-Go Feeding Spoon
• $4.99
I recently bought two of these, one to keep in my stroller and one to bring to the sitter's. It's a fine spoon, with a soft silicone covered end, and the carrying case is super compact for throwing in your purse, bag or even coat pocket. Also in blue or pink.
Not Just for Babies: Reusable Food Pouches
Back to School 2013
In terms of green living, reusable food pouches may be the best thing since sliced bread (or, reusuable water bottles if I'm keeping the metaphor going). Many were originally conceived for infants to use, especially on the go, but they're totally suitable for older kids for applesauces (or any fruit sauces), yogurt, even smoothies. They're the new lunchbox essential.
Best Reusable Snack & Sandwich Bags for Kids
Back to School 2013
I don't think I need to convince anyone that reusable sandwich and snack bags are a win-win. Buying fewer plastic bags saves you money over time and is an earth-friendly gesture. I use them to take snacks to work and my son uses them for his preschool snacks and what we call "go snacks" (snacks for the car or the playground). I'm definitely stocking up before he goes off to kindergarten next month.
Colored Enamel Bowls
Family Find
Colored Enamel Bowls
• $8/each
• West Elm
Not a fan of melamine but looking for kid bowls that won't break? Try enamel. They can't be used for the microwave, but are fine for the dishwasher.
It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a Spoon!
Sometimes theatrics help at the table. Some parents opt for imitating a choo choo train, but the airplane feeding maneuver is the classic. No, you don't need an airplane-shaped spoon to have success with this feeding gambit, but, hey, it's fun.
Wooden Kids Plates
Family Find
Wooden Kids Plates
• $18
• Uncommon Goods
If you're looking for durable kids plates that aren't melamine, perhaps wood is the way to go. These shapes are fun and memorable. Truck, monkey, duck and there's also a flower.

use of this system to obtain optical images
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to determine if optical imaging modalities used at the time of surgical resection for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can help delineate normal from cancerous mucosa. The High resolution microendoscope, developed by our collaborators at Rice university, can allow for real time visualization of tissue nuclei. The overall aim of this study is to determine if this device can be used to enhance the accuracy of intraoperative margin detection during tumor resection for head and neck cancer.
At the time of tumor resection for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, a wide field imaging device will be used to identify suspicious areas. The High resolution device will then image representative areas from the tumor, the tumor margin, and normal mucosa. A topical dye, proflavin, will be placed on the tissue to enhance the visualization of nuclei prior to imaging with the HRME device. Following imaging, biopsies of the imaged areas will be taken and submitted for pathology diagnosis. The images of the biopsies will then be compared and the device will be evaluated for accuracy of margin detection at the time of tumor resection.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Scientists say a 2-billion-year-old rock from Mars that landed on Earth is quite different from other Martian meteorites.
They say it is older than most and contains more water. It's also similar to volcanic rocks examined by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the Martian surface.
About 65 Martian meteorites have been recovered on Earth, mostly in Antarctica or the Sahara desert. The oldest dates back 4.5 billion years. The rest are 1.3 billion years old or younger.
The recently tested 2-billion-year-old rock is about the size of a baseball. It was donated to the University of New Mexico by an American who bought it from a meteorite dealer last year.
Researchers performed tests to confirm its age and origin. The findings were published online Thursday in the journal Science.

MLB won't be testing for HGH any time soon
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. Major League Baseball won't be testing for human growth hormone any time soon, even though it would like to do so.
Drug experts are looking for a viable way to detect HGH, but no athlete has ever tested positive for it. And there are even questions about whether HGH enhances performance.
"Growth hormone is widely abused by athletes," Richard Holt, a professor at University of Southampton in Great Britain, said Monday at the daylong Growth Hormone Summit, presented by Major League Baseball and UCLA. "There is little scientific evidence that growth hormone is performance-enhancing. I think the scientists are wrong and the athletes are right."
Holt thinks most athletes involved take multiple agents, anabolic steroids among them, not just HGH.
"In order to get the full benefit of growth hormone, you need to take it with other agents as well," he said.
Several players were linked to human growth hormone in former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell's report on doping in baseball, released last December.
Don Catlin, director of Anti-Doping Research at UCLA, said there's a need to come up with a valid form of testing, be it by blood or urine.
And that, of course, means financing.
"Patients, yes. Athletes, no," he said regarding positive tests in the past. "The government needs to come in. I don't like it, but I don't like X-ray machines at the airport, either. There really isn't much choice. We're trying to find a needle in a haystack. There's good hope."
Regarding how HGH affects performance, Catlin said: "There is no answer and I don't think there will be unless somebody gets approval to do the study. It's the same thing with anabolic steroids 25 or 30 years ago. We need the same study with HGH."
Douglas Rollins, executive director, Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory in Salt Lake City, pointed out that the window of opportunity in testing is very small, making HGH difficult to detect.
"Thirty hours, I'd say," he said.
Other experts expressed the opinion that the window might be smaller.
Bob DuPuy, MLB's president and chief operating officer, thinks the sport is doing everything it can to clean things up.
"The commissioner (Bud Selig) is committed to eradicating all performance-enhancing drugs, including HGH," DuPuy said. "One of the things we've recognized from the start of this is HGH presents challenges. One of the purposes for this conference is to get everybody on the same page. All we can do is continue to fund things like this.
"I think we're doing the best we can do. You've got most of the leading experts in the field here today, and that's a good start."
Among those attending were Travis T. Tygart, the chief executive officer of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which is under contract with the United States Olympic Committee at least through 2010. Its budget is expected to climb about 10 percent for 2009.
"We have the support of clean athletes like we never have before," Tygart said. "We owe it to our athletes to overcome these obstacles and end the use of HGH."
The USOC committed $3 million and USADA $1 million last January to The Partnership for Clean Competition, a collaborative that also includes MLB and the NFL. The partnership uses the money to fund grants for research to combat performance-enhancing drugs in sports.
Protracted cases involving Floyd Landis and Justin Gatlin over the past two years highlighted some of USADA's weaknesses and left the agency vulnerable to second-guessing.
Gene Orza, the No. 2 official of the players' union, said if there's a scientifically valid test for HGH, the membership would make a decision on what to do.

Waka Flocka Flame has been known to turn up and it has been known for some time that he has a connection to the EDM world.
Back in April of last year, Waka told HipHopDX he had plans to release an EDM-based Hip Hop album and now, there may be a title to go along with the project. The Atlanta-based rapper recently told XXL his debut EDM album will be called Turn Up God and says Diplo and Steve Aoki, among others will be involved.
"That shit's fire. Turn Up God, fire, man. It's just me having fun. I really get to do me. That shit's crazy," he said when asked about the album. "Diplo, Steve Aoki, The Zombie Kids, Borgore, DJ Carnage and I just did this remix of Dillon Francis' new record, that shit's about to be mayhem."
Waka Flocka Flame has toured with Aoki in the past and recently told DX Steve Aoki "put life back in me musically." Aoki and Waka have come together on EDM tracks in the past. "Rage The Night Away" is an Aoki song featuring Waka. Waka Flocka was also featured on Yellow Claw & Diplo & LNY TNZ's song "Techno."
Waka also told XXL he's finishing up Flockaveli 2, which he is aiming a winter release date for and says he's targeting fall for Turn Up God. Interestingly, he said the first time he heard EDM music was in London or Paris.
"First time I heard it I was in fucking... I think I was in London or Paris," He said. "You know when you go into a club and you hear that techno shit. Then one day I heard it the "Brick Squad Anthem." I'm like, "Oh, shit." The club was rocking, nigga, and I'm like, "What the fuck? Why the hell I don't know about this?" And one of my boys was like, "It's the new shit, they love you." And I was like, fuck it, and I was in Europe doing hip-hop at night, and I'd go fuck with that [after]. So I got like two, three months of training on it. This is a market too."

Flea markets walk
Candelabras, Jesus gear and Ross Perot pins-it ain't junk if somebody wants it. And that somebody could be you. Shop from Hell's Kitchen to Union Square.
Wed Apr 30 2008
Start: 39th St between Ninth and Tenth Aves
End: Union Square
Time: 4.5 hours
Distance: 2 miles
Photograph: Jeff Gurwin
We know what you're thinking: SoHell on a Sunday morning? You'd rather snort broken glass. We would too, were it not for this 32-year-old flea market's unbeatable deals. Open sunrise to sunset every Saturday and Sunday, The Annex/Hell's Kitchen Flea Market (39th St between Ninth and Tenth Aves, 212-243-5343) boasts 30-plus vendors shilling cameo lockets, Texas ties, gold candelabras, owl tchotchkes and enough tattered bridal veils to keep Miss Havisham single for life. Some prices are steep ($64 for a Brady Bunch–orange cookie jar, really?), but haggling is encouraged. And if you're in the market for a fur stole, there are at least a half-dozen foxes (faces intact) to choose from. (Tip: If it's about to rain, hop the $1 Annex Market shuttle from Hell's Kitchen to the Antiques Garage; see No. 6. )
If you're of the, ahem, gardening variety, pop by NYC Hydroponic (495 Ninth Ave between 37th and 38th Sts, 212-695-5768) for grow lamps and liquid fertilizer, or just to have your pic taken out front looking stoned.
Pay no mind to the vendors bottlenecking Ninth Avenue with their bootleg movies and toy-box rejects—it's brunch time! Skylight Diner (402 W 34th St at Ninth Ave, 212-244-0395), recipient of the 2008 Eat Out Award for Best Manhattan Diner, slaps together a mean fried-egg sandwich at an even meaner price ($2.25!).
Sweet respite awaits on Seventh Avenue between 30th and 31st Streets: a bathroom at the two-story Starbucks.
Continue down Seventh till you hit 25th Street, then hang a left. The City Quilter (133 W 25th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves; 212-807-0390, cityquilter.com) specializes in fabrics and NYC-themed prints (quaint brownstones, Judie Rothermel skylines, etc.)—perfect for reupholstering that busted chair you got in Hell's Kitchen.

Once you've sated your paisley jones, behold the flea-market mothership: The Antiques Garage (112 W 25th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves, 212-243-5343), where, every Saturday and Sunday, cantankerous sellers push their wares (late-'80s karate magazines, Ross Perot campaign pins, vintage bowling shoes, dreidels, pillbox hats and horn-rimmed glasses) in a two-story parking garage. Michael Stolbach's booth, located on the ground floor, is especially worth seeking out: He trades in outsider art and old microgenre photos (e.g., "African-American: Civil War," "Gay Interest: Affectionate Men").
Across the way you'll find a disco-ized Goodwill (103 W 25th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves, 646-638-1725) blasting Justin Timberlake remixes. We scored a Pierre et Gilles–esque Jesus pic for $1.99, a checkered scarf for $4.99 and a tacky gold-and-coral pendant for $7.99.
Photograph: Jeff Gurwin
Continue east to the West 25th Street Market (W 25th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, 212-243-5343). This flea spot is open all weekend, but the pickings are slim—and raunchy. Steer clear of the back alley, which is all rusty tools and bins of pornos, and head for the rows in front: They're stocked with killer vinyl (Black Sabbath's Master of Reality, only $3.99), old stag mags, and Pier 1 knockoffs like African tribal masks and jade Buddha statues.
Photograph: Jeff Gurwin
Cut across Broadway and rest your old-lady limbs in lovely Madison Square Park before heading down 24th and back to Sixth. And—lo!—there's another Starbucks for your pee-bag–emptying convenience. Onward south, you'll see the Chelsea Antique Collectible Flea Market (Sixth Ave at 17th St, 212-627-0667). The market is small but features rustic wooden benches, accordioned license plates, portable typewriters and mounds of ghetto-fab gold chains (we upped our street cred by negotiating a two-for-$15 deal).
Photograph: Jeff Gurwin
The tour ends in a place we all love to loathe: Union Square. Get over the crust-punk protesters and tables laden with John Lennon magnets, and you'll find young artists shilling handmade shadowboxes, haunting pinhole-camera prints and sweet-smelling soaps. Our personal fave, Kudulis (myspace.com/kudulispaints), shoots poetically inclined girlfriends in 1920s garb and transfers the images onto brightly painted blocks of wood ($15–$30). "Union Square gets a bad rap," muses our muse. "But there are legitimate artists here. Really."
St. John the Baptist (210 W 31st St at Seventh Ave, 212-564-9070) is a hulking monastery run by Capuchin Franciscan friars. If you're walkin' by on a Sunday, you'll hear their bells for blocks.
Wanna try this walk?
Meet Ashlea near the Annex/Hell's Kitchen Flea Market (at the corner of 39th St and Ninth Ave) Sun 4 at noon.*

Danny Bartels has a zone.
The Rifle High School senior pitcher found himself in that zone Monday in the baseball team's 8-5 victory over Steamboat Springs. That zone came in the fourth inning, when the Sailors went from hardly touching the ball at the plate to loading the bases with nobody out.
That's where Bartels found his zone, and it's a zone that he's been able to find often in his time with the Bears.
"At that point, I focus on the batter and focus on getting strikes," Bartels said. "When someone gets to third [base], I tell myself, 'well, they're not going to get home because I'm pitching to the plate.'
"All I have to do is worry about getting the batter," he continued. "Once I get the batter, everything else takes care of itself."
Bartels has been the guy on the mound who has taken care of things for Rifle. He was an all-state award winner at the Class 3A level in 2012 as a pitcher, which complimented his stellar abilities at the plate. And the improvement he's shown in the first part of this season has been obvious, even without a portfolio of statistics from this season.
"He has some really high expectation for this season," Rifle coach Troy Phillips said. "He worked really hard in the weight room and he's done all of the little things that we've asked guys to do.
"He and Triston [Quigley, a senior infielder for Rifle] have become the leaders of the team, and that's simply because they've done the things in the off-season that we've asked guys to do," the coach continued. "When guys do the work that they're supposed to be doing, it's easy for them to be leaders, and people will look up to them because they know that they've done the work. And they have."
Though Bartels' portfolio from this season isn't complete yet, he has plenty of things to be proud of from a stellar junior year.
Bartels was one of the best pitchers at Colorado's 3A level least season. His 10 wins on the mound broke the school record for victories in a season, as were his 100 strikeouts in 71 innings pitched. He finished with a 1.77 ERA while only allowing 19 walks and 57 base hits.
That's definitely grown since his sophomore year, when he went 6-5 with a 3.36 ERA, 44 strikeouts and 16 walks while allowing 80 hits in 60 1/3 innings.
In an effort to get better, Bartels was on a fall baseball team in Grand Junction, which gave him the opportunity to play against some junior college opponents. He also said he gained 20 pounds of muscle when he was in the weight room during the fall, beefing up to just over 155 pounds.
"I didn't grow very much," Bartels laughed. "I guess that was more bulk that I put on."
That bulk has helped put him on track to a better season at the plate, too. In 2012, Bartels hit .386 with a homer and 21 RBIs during the Bears' 17-3 campaign. This season, he's started out 5-for-10 with a homer and eight RBIs, including four stolen bases. On the mound, the velocity on his fastball has reached 82 mph, Bartels said.
Phillips is hoping the example that Bartels and Quigley set this year will have a carry over effect on this year's juniors and underclassmen. In the meantime, however, Bartels just wants to stay in a zone to help this year's team out in every way he can.
"If I'm not hitting the ball, than I'm not really producing for our team," Bartels said. "If I'm not pitching well, then I'm also not producing for my team."

With the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) chiding banks for having been too lenient with borrowers and suggesting that theyre evergreening loans, banks now appear to be taking recast proposals more seriously. The R7,500-crore debt recast plan for Lanco Infratech has been put on hold with several lenders in the 27-bank consortium not comfortable with sanctioning additional loans.
Lanco Infratech, the construction arm of the Lanco Group, wants an additional R3,000 crore to be able to restart some of its operations. But lead banker IDBI Bank is dead against taking on more exposure to the infrastructure company as are others including Punjab National Bank and Dena Bank.
Their discomfort is understandable since Lancos finances are in a shambles. The firm reported a loss of R580 crore in the second quarter of this fiscal with sales falling 23% year-on-year to R2,451 crore; in the first quarter, the loss reported was R579 crore. With cash flows strained, consolidated net debt at the end of September had risen to a whopping R35,700 crore as its gearing hit 10X. One reason for this is the high receiveables at close to R3,000 crore, some of it from state electricity boards including those of Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh.
Credit Suisse expects the company to post losses in both FY14 and FY15 and believes that some power purchase agreements may have been wrongly priced. Under the circumstances, although the corporate debt restructuring (CDR) cell has called for details on why Lanco needs additional funds, it seems unlikely that banks will want to add to their exposure.
Lancos power plants have been starved for fuel. Both the Amarkantak-II and Kondapalli-II plants have been suffering, while the Udupi project operated at a plant load factor of 47% in the second quarter of this fiscal. And although the company has been talking of asset sales for more than a year now, it has met with little success. Bankers close to the development expressed concern that unless the company is able to restore some balance to the gearing by bringing in equity, it might be risky for lenders to take on more exposure.
The firms market capitalisation has come off from Rs 3,106 crore a year ago to Rs 1,394 crore now.
For a debt recast package to be approved, it must be agreed to by 60% of the lenders by number and 75% by the value of the exposure. Along with IDBI

Midwest Braces for 'Land Hurricane' (Video)
(Yahoo / Worthy News)-- People in at least six states from the Plains to the Midwest are bracing for dangerous storms that forecasters say could produce hurricane-force winds, very large hail and a few "intense" tornadoes beginning late Tuesday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., the severe weather outbreak is expected to stretch from southern South Dakota through Nebraska, Kansas, southern Iowa, northern Missouri and west-central Illinois.
Forecasters predict that damaging winds — 60-80 mph in some places — and large hail will be widespread.
"It's called a 'land hurricane,' and one could develop tonight across the Plains," CBS Chicago's Megan Glaros tweeted.

Another wonderful map Sapiento! There is one thing that bothers me though. It's the legend. Shouldn't the labels be right beside the symbols for mines? Now it looks as if a gold mine had no label and silver mine were a gold mine if you know what I mean. It looks more like a mistake than something intentional...
That said the map is beautiful.
Lovely work Sapiento, and congratulations on the commission.

Thank you, guys.
Maybe the Legend could be adjusted so that "Ruined Watchtower" could be on a single line of text. I had to look at it twice to recognize that there wasn't a missing symbol. Maybe also include the solid and dashed brown lines and the dotted yellow lines.
The map itself is gorgeous.
Very nice Sap, makes me long for more time to map myself.

There is direct evidence that President George W. Bush did not honorably lead this nation, but deliberately misled it into a war he wanted. Bush and his administration knowingly lied to Congress and to the American public — lies that have cost the lives of more than 4,000 young American soldiers and close to $1 trillion.
Bush vows to veto housing-relief bill
WASHINGTON: As the House prepared to vote on a housing-relief bill offered by Democratic leaders, President George W. Bush on Wednesday told the lawmakers, in effect, not to bother.
"I will veto the bill that's moving through the House today if it makes it to my desk," the president said at the White House, after meeting with Republican House leaders. "I urge members on both sides of the aisle to focus on a good piece of legislation that is being sponsored by Republican members."
The president's remarks were not surprising, given that the administration issued a statement on Tuesday evening declaring its opposition and saying that White House advisers would urge the president to veto it.
FBI Raids Special Counsel Office, Seizes Records
FBI agents on Tuesday raided the offices of Special Counsel Scott J. Bloch, who oversees protection for federal whistle-blowers. The agents seized computers and shut down e-mail service as part of an obstruction of justice probe, as first reported by NPR News.
The focus of the probe appears to be Special Counsel Bloch, who was appointed by President Bush in 2004. Bloch has been a controversial figure ever since taking over the Office of Special Counsel, which, among other things, ensures that federal whistle-blowers get the protection they need.
Executive or Imperial Branch?
Even more tragic and dangerous than the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan have been President Bush's usurping of power from the other two branches of government and the creation of the "hyperimperial" presidency.
White House admits pre-war e-mails not archived
"A White House declaration filed late last night ... makes the stunning admission that the White House failed to preserve ANY backup tapes for the period March 1, 2003 through May 22, 2003, a period of time during which the U.S. went to war in Iraq," says a release from Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington, a watchdog group suing for public records concerning the disappearance of internal White House e-mails.
Without computer backup tapes from this critical pre-Iraq war period, future researchers may be deprived a vital resource as the delve into the inner workings of the Bush administration as it decided to invade a country that had not attacked the United States and possessed no weapons of mass destruction.
"The harm is that we've lost a huge piece of history," says Anne Weismann, a lawyer for CREW.
TVNL Comment: The term for this is "criminal coverup!"
White House admits fault on 'Mission Accomplished' banner
After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq. Bush, in October 2003, disavowed any connection with the "Mission Accomplished" message. He said the White House had nothing to do with the banner; a spokesman later said the ship's crew asked for the sign and the White House staff had it made by a private vendor.
"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said `mission accomplished' for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission," White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. "And we have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner. And I recognize that the media is going to play this up again tomorrow, as they do every single year."
TVNL Comment: "Shifting explanations"? What the hell does that mean? How many ways can the media avoid using the term "lied"?
Cheney lawyer claims Congress has no authority over vice-president
The lawyer for US vice-president Dick Cheney claimed today that the Congress lacks any authority to examine his behaviour on the job.
The exception claimed by Cheney's counsel came in response to requests from congressional Democrats that David Addington, the vice-president's chief of staff, testify about his involvement in the approval of interrogation tactics used at Guantanamo Bay.
