GLEN DALE - With the cold, snowy and wet conditions blasting the Ohio Valley in recent weeks, the high school baseball season has barely had a chance to get off the ground.
While the temperature remained below average Thursday, Parkersburg South and starting pitcher Brad Brubaker brought a little heat to Marshall County with a mid-season type performance against John Marshall.
Brubaker fired a one-hitter, throwing 58 pitches, including 39 for strikes, while Tre Jackson doubled, tripled and plated a pair of runs as the veteran Patriots rolled to an 11-0, six-inning victory against the Monarchs on a windy, chilly day at John Marshall High School.
The victory moved Coach Matt Null's squad to 4-0 on the season while Bob Montgomery's youthful Monarchs dropped to 1-1 and will play host Parkersburg in a noon doubleheader this afternoon.
"They are a very good, veteran ball club that believes they can win a state championship," Montgomery said. "They have 14 seniors and are no longer in the same region with Ripley, who they beat last week, but have struggled with in the tournament for the last few years."
While the visitors did a fine job executing the entire day, it was Brubaker, who fanned six and walked one, who was the difference maker. John Marshall's only hit came off the bat of catcher Zach Winland on an 0-2 pitch leading off the second inning.
However, after a courtesy runner was thrown out trying to tag, Brubaker faced just one over the limit.
"Bru (Brubaker) did an outstanding job locating his fastball and throwing his off-speed pitch for a strike," Null said. "He had the luxury of having multiple pitches working for strikes and was just very efficient all day. All we ask of him is to throw strikes on two of three pitches and he did that (Thursday).
The Patriots got on the board quickly on a Logan Walters leadoff double to right field, a wild pitch and Braxton Johnson's run-scoring sacrifice fly to left for a 1-0 score. South manufactured another run in the second when Jordan Braniff singled to left, stole second and third and scored on a throwing error.
It was the top of the order that made more noise for the Wood County crew in the third. Walters singled to right and moved to second on Johnson's bunt base hit to get things started. The visitors made it 3-0 on an error, with runners advancing to second and third. After a Dylan Weaver RBI sacrifice fly, Tre Jackson doubled to again put a pair of runners in scoring position.
Jacob Wilcox's fielder's choice chased home the Patriots' fifth run, the third of the frame.
John Marshall (1-1) threatened in the fourth, getting a leadoff walk and an error. However Brubaker recorded a strikeout before a 6-4-3 double-play, ended the threat.
Parkersburg South loaded the bases with no one out in the fifth, but settled for just a single run on pinch-hitter Tyler Berry's two-out sacrifice fly. The Patriots turned it into a shortened affair with five more in the sixth, highlighted by Jackson's two-run triple to deep center.
"We are not a team that is going to come out and hit a bunch of home runs; we are more of an old-school team, but we do a good job of going out and getting the little things done," Null added.
Jeremiah Fromhart started and took the loss for the Monarchs, but did a good job throwing strikes, something that was not overlooked by Montgomery.
"I felt like Jeremiah pitched well, but we did a couple of things to hurt ourselves," Montgomery said. "We are a little thin on the mound and pitching is a critical position. We still have several kids who have not played a lot of varsity baseball, but we will continue to work and get better.
"Brubaker was very sharp for them, he only allowed one hit and he is just a very nice high school pitcher."

How can I get my toddler to give up the bedtime bottle?
My son always wants to go down for the night with a bottle. I know how terrible it is for him to go to bed with milk in his mouth, so we give him water, not milk -- but he still needs that bottle. How can I break him of this habit and teach him to fall asleep on his own?

My daughter is 13 months old and has sleeped through the night for months.The key is a pacifier.I weaned her of the bottle at 10 1/2 months.Now i am weaning her off the pacifier to only at night to evenually no pacifier at all.posted 06/14/2005 by allison4884
Why are parents so scared of their children being "upset"? Just don't give the bottle to him at night plain and simple, who is in charge here?!?! He might cry, and maybe the next night also but after that he will get over it and be fine! I think parents would be supprised at what kids are capable of, it's the parents who give the routine. It might be hard for a night or two but long term it will be much easier. I love my kids and I have so maney people tell me how well behaved they are. I don't have to spank either, I am just firm and consistent which is the key!posted 05/17/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I have a 5 yr old i broke her by just taking it all together and give her snacks or crackers..no she's not fat from the snacking..now i have a 12 month old and i'm just gonna let him stop when he's ready my first kid everyone told me what to do that really upset me this is my last baby and i'm gonna do it my way ..i believe in the cold turkey optionposted 05/12/2005 by noturmomma
thanks for the comments. my baby girl just turned 1 too and i actually for got her bottle and she did really well going to sleep so i decided not to give it back to her. she has done well all day today. i am a mother of a 15, 10 and 1 so remembering to bring the cup where ever i go is my hang up. but for the most part i believe she will be alright. then there will be the potty. she is trying that out now. she uses it really well i just dont have enough time to do it every day being a student but neverthe less it will all work out God's will and God bless all of you mothers out there online in Jesus name.posted 05/09/2005 by thanku4mercy
I have the same story as Deana. My son wouldn't give up the bottle. I remember taking him to the doctors for an upset stomach, my doctor knew he was still having a bottle at night. He turned around to my son and said no more bottles. And he hasn't had a bottle since. I think when they reach a certain age and the doctor tells them something they listen. I have a 2yo girl who I am trying to give a sippy cup to now. If it doesn't work - I won't get upset about it. When she understands more I'll get my doctor to tell her "No more bottles" and take it from there. My children seem to listen to their doctor.posted 04/27/2005 by CazfromAust
my son will not give up bottle what should I do? I hate waking up in the night with milk on my back, from it dripping on me. HELP!!!!posted 04/17/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I was so worried that my 19 month old dd wouldn't give up her morning and evening bottle. But low and behold, one day while she was sick at home, my husband just gave her milk in a cup (of which she drank very little, but did drink) the entire day and I gave her a sippy cup of milk in the evening before bed. She didn't even miss her bottle that evening and hasn't ever since. So it's true that a baby will give up his/her bottle when he/she wants to. Now, a month later, my dd is drinking milk (and water) exclusively from a sippy cup, about 3 oz. per cup.posted 04/11/2005 by smdubur
My daughter just turned 2 and is so into her bottle! She uses a cup as well but the thing with her is that she only likes water in her cup and milk in her bottle. She will not drink it any other way or any other liquids. I also have a 10 month old and I find that since her sister came along she has gotten worse with wanting her bottle since she see's her sister with one. I was trying to wean her from the bottle but I caved (which I am royally disappointed in myself) and gave in and it is ten times worse now. She ALWAYS asks for a bottle and throws a fit until she gets one. I have resorted to bringing one with me everytime we go anywhere so she will not throw a fit when we are out. I know I am doing it all wrong but then I think is it that bad that she is drinking milk all day? Who cares how she drinks it but I am thinking that she is getting too old for a bottle and if I don't start now it is only going to take longer to get her to give it up. She also goes down everynight with a bottle. I can handle her screaming all day for one but at night she will wake her sister up and that is going to be hard. I don't really need any suggestions since I know what I have to do I just wanted to share my story and let other mother's know that there not alone and really if this is the worst our toddler does than thats not so bad.... I am going to try and handle this differently though with my youngest so I don't make the same mistakes again!posted 04/09/2005 by SadieO
I also 2 have a 16 month old who fails to realize he doesnt need the bottle. He takes sippy cups all day and has for 6 months now .He sometimes only takes a few sips of his bottle at night but when I dont give him one everyone in the house is left listening to him scream all night. I can go without sleep but my husband and my other child shouldnt have to suffer.what to do now? any help would be wonderful.posted 04/06/2005 by ernaluv
When my son was 13 months old, my husband and I took him for his "well baby" visit. At the time he was drinking from a sippy cup at home but persuaded the day care to give him the bottle by refusing the cup, he would also wake up for a nightly bottle. The doctor said to get rid of the bottle. (Ok, easy for you to say.) He suggested giving him sippy cups only, no bottle whatsoever, saying that he will get thirsty enough to pick up the cup and drink from it. It was very, very hard and we had very little sleep within the first week. We threw away all of his bottles and gave him nothing but the cups even the nightly one with plain water. Reluctantly, he began to get the picture and started using the cups. He even gave up the nightly cup since he wasn't that fond of water. Sure enough... about a week and a half later we had a happy toddler and no more bottles to clean.posted 04/01/2005 by prtypantiz

AT&T Posts Decline in Quarterly Revenues Following Disposals
Published on: 24th Apr 2013
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
By: Ian Mansfield
USA based AT T has reported that its first quarter revenues fell by 1.5 percent to USD31.4 billion largely due to the disposal of its advertising division. Excluding that disposal revenues would have risen by 0.9 percent.
Net profits rose to USD3.7 billion, compared to USD3.6 billion a year ago.
Wireless service revenues increased 3.4 percent in the first quarter, to $15.1 billion. Wireless data revenues increased 21 percent from the year-earlier quarter to $5.1 billion.
First-quarter 2013 cash from operating activities totaled $8.2 billion, and capital expenditures totaled $4.3 billion. Free cash flow -- cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures -- totaled $3.9 billion.
The company continues to expect capital expenditures for 2013 to be in the $21 billion range and now expects capital expenditures for 2014 and 2015 each to be in the $20 billion range.
"Our wireless network performance continues to be terrific," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and CEO. "And that helped drive our best ever first quarter for smartphone sales, improved wireless churn and strong growth in mobile data revenues."
AT&T added 1.2 million postpaid smartphone subscribers in the first quarter. At the end of the quarter, 72 percent, or 48.3 million, of AT&T's postpaid phone subscribers had smartphones, up from 61 percent, or 41.2 million, a year earlier.
About 60 percent of AT&T's postpaid smartphone customers now use a 4G-capable device, with more than half of those using LTE devices.
Postpaid churn was 1.04 percent, down from 1.10 percent in the first quarter a year ago, and from 1.19 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Afel Bocoum, Damon Albarn, Toumani Diabate & Friends
Mali Music
Honest Jon
he more years that go by, the more cookie jars get pillaged by Damon Albarn. When he's not busy with Blur Albarn finds himself involved in a series of musical adventures, most famously the cartoon act Gorillaz with which he has obtained a great deal of success. He has also had the time to produce Mali Music, in addition to playing guitar, keyboards, melodica, and percussion on it. The other people involved, when Albarn wasn't playing just about everything imaginable, are native Malians. Albarn recorded the singing and elementary music in Mali, while adding his own contributions in his studio in London. The album was released in April on Albarn's own label Honest Jon's and with no signs of slowing down any time soon, I wouldn't be surprised to see another album very soon. But let's take a look at this one.
Here is your setting: lovely sunny day in the forrest, a bunch of people all dancing and partying while trying to outloud the sound of the waterfall nearby. You: inhibited westerner standing in amazement, but also with a degree of enlightment when you realize that the exotic locals shown on TV could do nothing to prepare you for this.
Mali Music is a beautifully crafted peice that feels original. It does not sound like an attempt to make credible African music, it simply is African. From the very first track "Spoons" you can indulge in a vast compilation of instrumental sounds without it being too crowded. Dancing piano keys, stroking violins and cellos, tapping xylophones, beats, electronic elements...there's room for them all on this magnificent musical exhibition. This is a laudible effort. It is obvious that Albarn has a healthy respect for the many sounds of African instrumentation, giving each of them a spotlight on the album.
Singling out beauties in this forest seems a bit unfair- they all have their special attractions. I mean, in a forest you need the flowers, the trees, the mushrooms, the animals...it's the entire thing that makes it, without one entity it's not quite a forest. If you want to download before you buy, however, the obvious single is "Spoons", a track in which repetetiveness works well and never becomes a bore. There's also the very smooth and life affirming "Niger", which is of a slightly higher quality than most of the tracks on the record. Don't fear that this album, however, that traditional song structure is thrown out the window. "Sunset Coming On" is, perhaps, Africa through the eyes of Albarn, not quite sounding Malian but observing from the outside.
Mali Music sounds surprisingly un-Albarn-esque. If you weren't told you would never have guessed he had any involvement whatsoever had it not been for his singing on "Sunset Coming On". The fact that he is a huge contributor in the proceedings is well disguised. Like him or not, Albarn's abillity to adapt to different situations in music and his courage to set foot on various uncommon grounds can only be applauded. Though this may not be the material the typical Blur or Gorillaz fan may be into, they should definitely give it a chance while waiting for the next Blur project, which may be quite a change from the typical Blur fare anyway.
Do yourself a favor, listen to this wonderful, easygoing yet powerful, versatile creation and widen your musical horizons. The world has more to offer than the Western world's conception of music.

Bollywood hit 'Dhoom: 3' has created history in Nepal by becoming the first film to gross Rs 6 crore at the box office.
The movie - starring Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Abhishek Bachchan - earned the amount in just two weeks.
The film has been screened without competition at multiplexes across Nepal, including the Kathmandu Valley.
According to sources close to the film's distributor, 'Dhoom: 3' is the first film to earn Rs 6 crore in Nepal.
A Nepali film is considered a hit if it earns around Rs 20 lakhs at the box office. By that standard, 'Dhoom: 3' has earned the equivalent of 30 hit Nepali films.
Last year, around 60 foreign films released in three multiplexes in Kathmandu earned over Rs 20 crore.
"It is natural that hit artists like Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif sell well in the Nepalese market", said Tirtha Thapa, a noted film director.
"The brand name of the Indian film industry sells here, rather than the story," he said. "The artist, acting and quality of a picture make it successful in the eye of viewers."
Indian films dominate Nepal's movie halls. It is only in remote villages where Nepali films have a high demand, Thapa said.
In major cities like Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Pokhara and Bhairahwa, Hindi films have an 80 per cent share of the market, according to him.
The quality of Nepali films is deteriorating though the number of movies produced every year has touched 120, Thapa said.
A decade ago, Nepali films used to earn Rs 50 lakhs to 60 lakhs but now they hardly make Rs 15 lakhs to 20 lakhs, he added.

How to Paint a Chevron Pattern on a Wall
HOW TO PAINT A CHEVRON PATTERN ON A WALL – Fancy adding something that just is a little unique and unusual to your home decor? There are lots of things you can do, for instance you could rag paint your walls, paint circles or even clouds, but have you ever thought about painting chevrons?
Painting a chevron pattern on your walls will certainly give you a very angle, strong and definite pattern and this can be enhanced or softened depending on the color of paint you use and indeed even the sheen and finish of the paint.
For a chevron pattern to look effective it is vital that you first measure and plot the pattern out on the wall first and then mast off the pattern either using masking tape or decorator's tape. Above is an excellent step by step video, along with some really handy tips that will help you to create a chevron pattern that is symmetrical with nice sharp, crisp lines that really define all the characteristics of a chevron pattern.
As I said above this project will not look effective if it is not properly measured out. I really cannot emphasize this enough, so take your time with the preparation work. Once you have measured and marked all the dimensions out check these again before applying the masking tape. Pay close attention to detail when applying the masking tape as any lines that are not straight or lose the dimension will result in the finish paint work looking really uneven which will just spoil the whole effect.
So, once the masking tape is on the wall go around and check that the measurements are correct. Once you are completely happy you can go ahead and do the painting – I assure you the preparation work is going to be so worthwhile once you finish painting and finally remove the masking tape once the paint has dried. It will look awesome!
Now take a look at the video above and follow the instructions.
Check out what people are talking about in our DIY Painting & Decorating Group.

Hi Neat Ideas,
Excellent video. Painting is one skill I never aquired but I do like the look of the chevron and it seems so simple. Really changes up a room's look.
Thanks for the tutorial, Dee

Jose Manuel Barroso today announced his intention to "move towards a federation of nation states". Over Farage's dead body…
What could possibly make the Thatcher t-shirts that have been causing the TUC so much grief this week even more offensive? Well the fact they are paid for out of the public purse registers pretty high on the scale. Mark Wallace has exposed the fact that the Derbyshire Unemployed Workers' Centre who were selling the t-shirts are publicly funded organisation:
"According to the DUWC 2011 Annual Report, their Chairman is Cllr Graham Baxter MBE, the Leader of North East Derbyshire Council… On page 8 of the same report, the "Fundraising" section lists money received from Bolsover District Council, North East Derbyshire District Council and Chesterfield Borough Council, as well as grants from no less than 11 County Councillors."
Why the taxpayer is picking up the tab for this lot remains to be seen, but Conor Burns MP, who is a close friend of Baroness Thatcher, is not happy:
"Whilst we are well used to these grotesque and deeply unpleasant sentiments from the left – something ironically that is absent in reverse from the right – this plumbs new shallows.
More than twenty years after she left office the left cannot forgive her for one thing above all else: she won.
To ask people to celebrate when Lady T dies is obscene. To ask the tax payer to pick up some of the bill to produce this Frankenstein merchandise is possibly unlawful.
I am asking the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to ask his Department to launch a full investigation as to whether this so-called "Unemployed Workers" (surely an oxymoron?) Centre has misused public money.
Lady T always belived in protecting the taxpayer."
On a day like today it seems relevant to reflect on the public's general distrust of tabloids. A Populus poll commissioned by lobbyists Open Road and released today has found that the public distrusts the Sun more than any other tabloid. 59% of the public distrust the Sun either "somewhat" or "completely". The findings don't make happy reading for the other redtops either, with 43% distrusting the Mirror, 39% the Mail and 32% the Express. Guido is happy to accept that this blog was categorised alongside the other tabloids and report that we are, err, less distrusted than all our tabloid rivals. We're feeling pretty superior…
Open Road's client News Corp will no doubt be pleased with their lobbying firm choosing today to further blacken the name of their biggest selling newspaper. Doh!
Yesterday Guido reported on Bob Crow's £100,000 delusion as the striking fat cat blustered: "I've got more in common with a Chinese labourer than I do with a City financier". If Bob's six-figure pay packet wasn't enough to disprove this statement, perhaps a look at his family tree will. Crow's brother is a day trader who lives in the stockbroker belt in Berkshire. Apparently they get on just fine despite their political disagreements:
"I have differences with him. He's made a lot of money; he's stock market, dividend first and the rest comes after. We're good mates…I hate him much more for supporting Arsenal."
Bob Crow has absoultely nothing in common with City financiers. Except blood that is…
Kelvin has apologised to the people of Liverpool.
Read what he said over on Media Guido…
"Today I offer my profuse apologies to the people of Liverpool for that headline. I too was totally misled. Twenty three ago I was handed a piece of copy from a reputable news agency in Sheffield in which a senior police officer and a senior local MP were making serious allegations against fans in the stadium. I had absolutely no reason to believe that these authority figures would lie and deceive over such a disaster. As the Prime Minister has made clear these allegations were wholly untrue and were part of a concerted plot by police officers to discredit the supporters thereby shifting the blame for the tragedy from themselves. It has taken more than two decades, 400,000 documents and a two-year inquiry to discover to my horror that it would have been far more accurate had I written the headline The Lies rather than The Truth. I published in good faith and I am sorry that it was so wrong."
Caveated to point out other papers ran the allegations, but with the correct level of scepticism of the sources.
Gaffe-prone Conservative youth chairman Ben Howlett has put his foot in it once again. Famed for claiming Gerry Adams was a hero, a move that went down well with Lord Tebbit, blundering Ben last night told us all to get over 9/11. On the aniversary of 9/11:
He also claims the death of over 3,000 people had the silver lining of bringing communities together. Yes, to kill each other.
Video via The Commentator
Guido had hoped that Salma Yaqoob's resignation last night meant we had seen the back of the now former Respect leader. Not so, if lefty types are to be believed. Loony left Labour tweeters have called on Yaqoob to join the party, while other prominent voices from the left have been praising Yaqoob to the hilt:
Guido is not quite sure why Labour would want someone like Yaqoob in their party. This is a woman who described the 7/7 bombings as a "reprisal", and sees the Assange case as a "dubious" government conspiracy. A woman who folded her arms and refused to applaud a war hero who threw himself on a grenade to save his colleagues. A woman who fronts the anti-Israeli Stop the War Coalition.

So we're taking a moment to run through the stories behind 7 personalities, contemporary, historical and in one case merely alleged, mentioned in passing in "Behind the Candelabra" mainly so that the next time we watch it (because it's a film we're definitely looking forward to seeing again) we'll be right up to speed on all the context.
At the Cannes "Behind the Candelabra" press conference, writer Richard LaGravanese recalled how "The women in my family loved [Liberace] very much and they were the ones who told me the story about how Sonja Henie broke his heart and that's why he was single. They believed that completely. They had no idea that he was gay." Henie is mentioned several times in 'Candelabra,' as being part of the smokescreen that Liberace put up to shield his fans from knowledge of his homosexuality, but who exactly was she?
The pretty, dimpled, Norwegian Henie became a kind international sweetheart following a long period of domination in the world of competitive ladies figure skating -- between 1927 and 1936 she won ten consecutive World Championship titles, six European Championship titles and 3 Olympic golds, though some of the later of the those wins were marked by controversy around the fairness of the judging process, not to mention questions surrounding Henie's connection to Hitler and other high-ranking Nazis. However she is certainly partially responsible for the more glamorous image that figure skating enjoys today, as she introduced dance choreography, short skirts and white boots to the scene. Retiring from skating to pursue a Hollywood movie career, she was at one point one of the highest paid actresses in the world, though her film career was based more on her skating talent than her acting (she was kind of the Esther Williams of the ice rink).
Her private life was pretty eventful too. Quite apart from her rumored long-term engagement to Liberace, which of course we all know was a sham because she was an Aries and he was a Taurus, so as if, Henie was also linked to Tyrone Power, Van Johnson and boxing legend Joe Louis. She married three times and died at just 57 in 1969. At the time, as a result of her last marriage to a Norwegian shipping magnate, she was one of the richest women in the world. In many ways she was just as a much a larger-than-life figure as Liberace, which would have made them really the perfect couple were it not for, as Liberace says with a shudder "those thighs."
When Bob Black (Scott Bakula) warned Scott Thorson (Matt Damon) before they entered the "palatial kitsch" of Liberace's mansion that Lee "thinks he's King Ludwig the second," the history bore in us thrilled with delight. Ludwig Otto Friedrich Wilhelm of Bavaria, often now known as "Mad King Ludwig" -- which is perhaps unfair considering he kind of comes across as among the sanest of a completely batshit royal family, reigned from 1864 till 1886. He was a noted patron of the arts, especially composer Richard Wagner, with extravagant tastes in décor and architecture, and he built several of Germany's most iconic and well-touristed castles, including the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle, Schloss Neuschwanstein.
Ludwig battled his whole life with his sexuality, trying to abide by the tenets of his Catholic faith and also do his duty as heir to a throne by producing children, but he never did marry. Later on, as a result of political machinations more than anything else, Ludwig, having grown increasingly eccentric and withdrawn, was declared insane and removed as head of the Bavarian state in 1886. The insanity accusation was easy to make stick as his brother Otto had famously suffered from mental illness from an early age, to say nothing of his aunt who was institutionalized due to her profound belief that she had swallowed a glass grand piano and would shatter if touched. Ludwig was soon after found dead under mysterious circumstances, but with the romance and mystery of a misunderstood, extravagant life, it's easy to see why he might have appealed to Liberace. Indeed, his most famous quote was "I wish to remain an eternal enigma to myself and to others" which we can almost hear Liberace, no slouch in the hiding-behind-flamboyance department, delivering.
No real evidence exists to support the story (repeated by Scott Thorson in his book "Behind the Candelabra") that Liberace's first gay experience came at the hands of a Green Bay Packer "the size of a door." But Darden Ashbury Pyron, author of "Liberace: An American Boy" also repeats that story and found it plausible, if not provable in that Liberace was in Wausau, the town where his deflowering was said to have occurred, around the time it should have happened, and also adds that Wausau is both close enough and far enough from Green Bay to make it possible that a closeted sports star might go there in hopes of a gay encounter. However Pyron too eventually concludes that it was, more probably, simply a case of Liberace playing to his audience -- in this case Thorson -- and embellishing an anecdote for entertainment value.

In the late 19th century, great interest was directed toward thestudy of electrical discharges in gases and the nature of so-calledcathode rays. One remarkable series of experiments with cathoderays, conducted by J. J. Thomson around 1897, led to the discoveryof the electron.
With the idea that cathode rays were charged particles, Thomsonused a cathode-ray tube to measure the ratio of charge to mass,, of these particles, repeating the measurements withdifferent cathode materials and different residual gases in thetube.
In your experiment, you measure a total deflection of 4.12 when an electric field of is established between the plates (with no magneticfield present). When you add the magnetic field as described inPart C, to what value do you have to adjust its magnitude to observe no deflection?
Assume that the plates are 6.00 long and that the distance between them and thescreen is 12.0 .

Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, joined the contest Tuesday for incoming House Democratic Leader, adding his name to that of West Palm Beach Rep. Mark Pafford in seeking the 2014-16 post.
The 44-member Democratic caucus is set to meet beginning at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Williams, like Pafford, were both elected in 2008 and are positioned to replace Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, who was tossed out as incoming leader on a 24-17 vote Monday night.
Rouson had run afoul of party leaders and most of the caucus for establishing a fund-raising committee outside the Florida Democratic Party.
Pafford initially looked like he might be the only contender. The Democrat who lost earlier this year to Rouson, Rep. Mia Jones, D-Jacksonville, said Tuesday that she would not run and endorsed Pafford saying, "he will right this ship."
Williams entry, however, is seen as a sign that some in the caucus are wary about Pafford, seeing him as too far to the political left. The leader's job involves candidate recruiting and fund-raising, and some Democrats view Williams as having a stronger bond with the Capitol's lobbying corps.

Gold futures prices today fell by 0.26 per cent to Rs 31,256 per 10 grams as speculators reduced their exposures amid a weak trend overseas.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in far-month April fell by Rs 80, or 0.26 per cent, to Rs 31,256 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of 72 lots.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in February moved down by Rs 74, or 0.24 per cent, to Rs 30,839 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of 1,213 lots.
Globally, spot gold fell as much as 0.3 per cent to USD 1,652.20 an ounce in Singapore today.
Marketmen said a weak trend in global markets as US budget talks stalled, leading to concerns that the lawmakers will fail to agree on a deal to avoid tax increases and spending cuts, mainly put pressure on gold futures here.

Ygduf is that an XL or XXL?
finally got all the parts i needed for my TT bike
Nice ride echappy. Is the battery just hanging down? Also the pink water bottle is a nice touch.
Nice pain rig.
new stem and bumped the seat forward. need to raise it again, but I forgot to do it at home and no torque wrench at work means no fiddling with the foil seatpost clamp. position is closer to the myerson rig posted a little back. dropped stem the last 5mm spacer and went from -17 to -30.
I'd say get a 58, but I don't think the seatpost would have enough length.
it's a 130mm stem. longer I think would start to affect handling negatively? I dunno.
2014 Argon Krypton
Crack in the downtube from Cascade 2013 was extended and became too much to ride on after my big crash last month.
Switching to an older Raleigh frame I have lying around until I can figure something out. Friend has a Tarmac I can have but it's a size too big..
Oh and the wheels have both been crash-replaced, and now I need to re-replace the front one! Way too much crash.
bummer have you considered getting it repaired? if anything, it could be a winter bike
Spyder Carbon Repair - Los Gatos, CA | Yelp
frank can meet you up in downtown Los Gatos. I'm sure he can get it done within a week if you ask him.
don't quit your day job.
i really like that he does free repairs for juniors with a USAC license. when i have corresponded with him, it's been great--but it has been super difficult to find out what is up. the first time i wanted to make sure he got the frame (there was no acknowledgement after he had the frame for 2 weeks....and it just said "package left at door" on the shipping status), and no status along the way until ~5-6 weeks later i got a paypal invoice. now i know that is how he -- at least sometimes
-- operates, so i don't sweat it.
the first time i sent a multi-thousand dollar frame to a guy who runs a business from his house, though, it was interesting. lack of communication didn't help matters. seems to be a somewhat common complaint with him, so it's not just me.
What size are you looking for? I will probably have a size 54 2010 s-works tarmac frame to go in a month or so. Very, very nice bike. This color frame.

It was 20 past midnight and the diverse, shoulder-to-shoulder mass that had shown up to see the Wu-Tang Clan was growing restless inside Expo Five, a structure that looks like an airplane hangar off South Seventh Street Road. The crowd had already tolerated several unknown rappers — "Limp Bizkit's better!" a fan yelled during one of the opening acts — and as a DJ played the Dr. Dre song "The Next Episode," a disembodied but familiar voice finally came over the speakers, stacked on either side of the stage.
"Ooohhh," Method Man teased. "I got a good mic."
Each set of hands in the venue formed a W, which shot into the air and swayed from side to side. Then Method Man and Ghostface Killah and Raekown — well, everybody expect for RZA — crammed his way onto the small stage and the group tore through "Bring da Ruckus," the first song on the group's 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Then came the second and third songs — "Shame on a *****" and "Clan in da Front" — off that same album. "The energy that you give to us," Method Man screamed, "we gon' give it back to you!" He reminded everybody that Wu-Tang has been putting out music for "17 years." The place went nuts.
Even though seven of the Wu-Tang's eight members were in attendance — and other "family members" stood on stage with microphones, too — it was surprising that the sound was never overwhelming. Masta Killa would step to center stage to deliver a verse, then the GZA would take his turn and so on. Though everybody had a mic, each guy seemed to know when to pipe up and when to hold back. Ghostface Killah spent much of the show lurking in the stage's shadowy periphery. When it was his turn to shine, his distinct high-pitched and (almost) nasal flow proved why his recent solo albums have been better than anything else the Wu-Tang Clan has done in recent years.
Method Man was the star of last night's show, however, the one who provided the energy. While most everybody else in the Clan stayed in their bulky winter coats, Method Man bounded in place like a prize fighter and used a towel to absorb the perspiration pouring down his face. After finishing the song that bears his name — which he rapped while standing on the barricade, before falling into a sea of outstretched hands — he stripped off several layers of clothing and sported a sweat-drenched t-shirt that was so wet you could see the wife beater he was wearing underneath.
It was also Method Man who supplied the evening's humor. "Can I get some weed?" he asked the crowd. People had been sparking joints and passing them around all evening, and a potent cloud of smoke seemed to be suspended in the air. Throughout the show fans chucked plastic baggies filled with marijuana onto the stage, and each time Method Man sniffed the contents, twisted his face into a grimace, gave a thumbs-down, and tossed the bag to the masses. "I need some good weed," he'd say again. "Who got some good ass weed?" (Other Method Man highlights: "Man, Kentucky got some of the most ghetto white people I've met in my life. That's a compliment." Also, this: "Louisville, home of the Louisville Slugger. Ain't that a bitch?!")
After the group performed "Triumph" and its most famous hit, "C.R.E.A.M." ("Cash rules everything around me, CREAM!" the fans shouted), Method Man said that Ol' Dirty Bastard — Wu Tang's ninth member, who overdosed in 2004 — was in the building. Then Method Man brought out ODB's "first born son," who looked and sounded so much like his late father during "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" that it was kind of scary.
As the clock approached 2 a.m., somebody raised the garage-style exit door. "Close that ******* door!" Method Man hollered. "We aren't ******* done!" Even though the guys in Wu-Tang are already in (or are rapidly approaching) their 40s, there was still more to come. And even when the show officially ended, the night seemed far from over.
"Party at the Hyatt!" Raekwon screamed.

When you have a virtual host to address all your mailbox servers, adding /m/ to get to the mobile version doesn't seem to work.
like i have
mailbox servers each with users accounts on them. but the users all use webmail.domain.com and it directs them to the appropriate server.
if someone punches up http://webmail.domain.com/m/ it just takes them to the regular zimbra login page which is too big and doesn't format right. However, if they use http://zcs1.domain.com/m/ they get the right version, but they then need to know what mailbox server they're on.
is this a bug?

One of the greatest gifts that my father gave me was living a life that exemplified true wisdom. Through my childhood I saw him learn and grow and change, his understanding of God and the Bible and Truth ever deepening. As an adult there have been many times when I've watched others struggle to learn something that my father carefully ingrained into me as a young girl.
In honor of Father's Day this year, I want to share with you some of the most valuable lessons that my father taught me. The highlighted sentences are direct quotes that we often heard repeated growing up, and the rest are further insights that were explained over time.
Are you wondering if you're called to be a leader? Look behind you and see if anyone is following.
Leadership is a tricky thing. It involves years of service with moments of recognition being few and far between. If you want to someday lead, learn to wash the feet of those around you.
When a friend is hurt, comfort them, but don't borrow the offense.
Empathy is different than building a defense. Walking through difficulties with someone doesn't have to involve personal anger at the person who hurt them.
Don't be afraid to speak, just keep your words soft. Gentleness turns hearts faster than force.
Standing firm in truth doesn't actually involve beating people over the head with a Bible. Walk in truth and speak softy.
When someone says, "If you read the Bible you'll see that…" don't just take their word for it. Read it yourself.
Look at all the levels of context. Know the Scriptures.
Your Mama is the prettiest woman alive.
Honor her, even when you don't agree with her. Treat her with respect, even if you feel that she isn't respecting you.
It's good to submit to authority, but use discretion. [They're] your (parent, teacher, pastor), not your god.
Submission means accepting that it is not your responsibility to control the person you are submitting to. But that doesn't mean you need to take their word as law. No human being is a god and none should be treated like one.
If you hear teaching that makes you wonder, research it.
You have a Bible and the Holy Spirit, so you are capable of discerning truth. Be discerning.
It's okay to look different than those around you. It's not okay to look different and be proud of it.
As a Christian, your life will (hopefully!) reflect Christ. If you're proud of the way you dress or speak or eat or live, you're not reflecting Christ. Humbleness is a state of lowness. It is recognizing your need for a redemptive Savior.
You don't actually "need" most of the things you think you do.
Society sends a lot of messages about what you need or don't need. Most of it is rubbish. It's okay to have things, but be careful or you'll become a slave to your possessions.
At some point you're going to feel lost in your faith because God doesn't do what you expect Him to do.
And it will be that moment when you find out what it truly means to have faith.
Now it's your turn! Will you share with us a piece of wisdom that you've learned from your dad or a father-figure in your life?

Black and red each exude drama, doubly so when paired together. Sometimes a little too much, maybe. But if you think blackberries and raspberries, the dramatic colors turn sweeter. In this imagined garden wedding with its berry motif, black and red act as accents, adding a touch romance, whimsy and sophistication without being overbearing. Hints of pale blush pink and the backdrop of garden green round it all out nicely.
Mood: modern garden romance
Palette: red raspberry, vine green, pink blush, black accents

A photographer on the 2006 Michigander took a picture of me. When I crossed the finish line, I decided to run the final 300 feet, with my Giant over my head. This picture apparantly came out really well, because the League Of Michigan Bicyclists put it on the back cover of their 2007 ride calendar. For those of you who wonder why I'm admitting this, it lacks a view of my face
The only problem is, I've never seen the picture. I was only told of it by some lady that goes on the ride that I bumped into recently. When I emailed the LMB, they said I need to contact the photographer personally to get a copy, and that they won't email me a copy of the picture. I'm guessing its a copyright thing. I did email him, and he hasn't replied yet.
So basically, a **** load of people get to see a sweet pic of me, as in apparantly tens of thousands, and yet I don't even get a copy
But I'm working on it, and once I get a copy I'll post it.

Greetings from the Director for Cataloging
NAS study and 2 articles from the LC staff Gazette
Speakers, commentators, and papers
Logistical information for conference participants
Cataloging Directorate Home Page

sponsored by the Library of Congress Cataloging Directorate
Choosing Electronic Resources:
What Is a Valuable Web Resource?
Discussion Facilitator:
Olivia Madison
Iowa State University Library
302 Parks Library
Ames, IA 50011-2140
The Conference topical discussion groups are for the purpose of identifying recommendations made by the speakers and commentators in their presentations and for developing recommended actions and an overall action plan for discussion and approval by the Conference in its concluding plenary session. Each topical discussion group consists of a facilitator who, with a designated number of participants, is assigned a specific topic related to the presentations that will serve as the focal point for identifying recommendations and deriving recommended actions and an overall action plan. Each group will also have an LC staff member to take notes and capture highlights throughout the discussion.Topic:
Academic and research libraries agree on the need to select valuable scholarly and educational Web resources for description. In the first session of the Conference on the topic "The Library Catalog and the Web," Sarah Thomas referred to library catalogs as providing users with a degree of "trusted selectivity." Later, in the third session on "Future Directions," Ann Huthwaite discussed the need for library collection development policies to include criteria for the identification of Internet resources of "continuing value." Which prompts the question: What is a valuable Web resource? Given the proliferation of all kinds of electronic and networked resources, great care needs to be exercised in the selection of those materials for which any type of bibliographic access will be provided. Typically, collection development policies for print materials are elaborated to apply to electronic resources. Similarly, collecting levels for print materials are often applied in determining digital collecting levels.Assignment:
In this assignment, we take a different approach, and ask you to develop a prioritized list of 4-6 recommended selection criteria that academic, research, and national libraries could apply specifically in choosing worthwhile as well as so-called valuable Web resources for description. Such criteria would be a useful adjunct to local collection development policies, as well as a potential tool for collaborative collection activities among these libraries. They could also help strengthen the tie between catalogers, who do not traditionally select materials, and public services staff including recommending/selecting officers.Procedures:
Your topical discussion group is organized into two parts to cover the two Conference days in which you meet.
Once you have finalized the prioritized list of criteria, the LC recorder will input it to a computer and a Powerpoint presentation will be created for your facilitator to present to conferees.Presentation and Action Plan:
Your facilitator will present the prioritized list of selection criteria for discussion and approval in the closing session of the Conference. Conferees will use this list along with the prioritized recommendations presented by the facilitators of the other topical discussion groups to develop an overall action plan that the Library of Congress can carry forward from the Conference.

The folks at AdFreak brought these Schick Quattro ads to our attention, wherein the ol' pubic hair/bush connection is used to maximum effect in an attempt to sell lady-razors. "It's time to mow the lawn!"
But still: why can't we just have a product for women that isn't advertised beneath a layer of happy bird singing, tulip sprouting, pastel-wearing, Stepford bullshit? Nobody gives a shit about the happiness your pube shaving gives you. Nobody wants to go to dinner with your annoying doctor friend who won't shut the fuck up about the side effects of Yaz. Nobody wants to have a happy fucking period. Nobody needs to hear about how unwomanly you feel when you have to wear your gray hoodie because you aren't using Vagisil. And nobody needs to hear that when you're "feeling untidy" you "spruce up your Aphrodite." Why can't we just be straightforward about products for women? We all use and need these things; why can't we just be as obvious about personal hygiene products as men are? "You need this because it does this and it's effective at this, the end." Is a cartoony musical really necessary? I think not.
So what say you, commenters? Offensive or effective? Or perhaps a bit of both?

How to Reduce Anxiety in Children
Two Methods:Babies and Young ChildrenOlder ChildrenCommunity Q&A
Many children experience anxiety at some point in their lives. This apprehension can range from separation anxiety that infants and young children experience when being away from parents, to developmental anxieties (fear of the dark, monsters under the bed) or environmental stress such as test-taking worries or traumatic events. This article will tell you how to reduce anxiety in children.
Method 1
Babies and Young Children
1Tell your children what's going to happen before starting daycare or school.
2Reassure your children that you will be back to get them.
- Let them know they will be safe at their daycare or school.
3Stand your ground and leave within a few minutes. Ignore pleas to "go back home" or to "stay."
- Giving in to an anxious child can cause further problems later on. Remember the crying usually stops within a few minutes of you being gone.
- Avoid "sneaking off" while leaving. This will cause increased anxiety and children will not believe you when you reassure them next time.
4Encourage and praise brave behavior when you leave your child.
- Refer to a favorite book or cartoon character who exhibits brave behavior when the parents leave.
5Talk about good things your child did during daycare or school.
Method 2
Older Children
1Introduce new situations at a slower pace.
- Break down big tasks, such as going to a party, to several steps. You might stay for a whole birthday party with your child at first, but then only stay for an hour at the next party.
2Use role playing to help children figure out what to do in new situations.
3Find activities in which your child can excel.
- Building confidence can help dissipate anxieties. Giving praise will also help boost a child's confidence.
4Teach children how to work through their own fears.
- Model how you would think through a fear or question.
5Keep your own fears to yourself when describing situations.
6Teach children relaxation techniques.
7Deep breathing and meditation can help reduce anxiety during a stressful situation.
Community Q&A
- Have a ritual when leaving. This can reassure children and alleviate anxiety, because they know what to expect when you leave.
- Ensure children get plenty of rest to avoid anxiety brought on by crankiness.

Chinese students enrolled at UWG this semester are part of the newly established exchange program with Zhongnan University of Economics and Law and the Richards College of Business. When the recent arrivals complete their studies, they will have dual degrees in business from UWG and ZUEL.
Located in Wuhan, a metropolis of central China, ZUEL is an institution of higher education that houses several schools, including the School of Humanities, School of Finance and Taxation, School of Business and Administration and the Xinhua School of Finance and Insurance.
Qiongrui Yao, 21, is from Wuhan, China, and is pursing a career in banking or a position in the financial sector.
"Studying abroad is a very good experience for students," said Yao. "It allows you to learn outside of the country and the people that you are used to, and that experience can be used in business or other things that you might be studying. It will be good for my career and my life."
The new exchange program will eventually allow approximately 40 students per year to study at UWG. Dr. Charles Hodges, professor of business administration, has taught at ZUEL and believes that this exchange will benefit students from ZUEL and UWG.
"Within this program, UWG will gain high-quality finance students each year," said Hodges. "I firmly believe that the ZUEL students will improve the quality of West Georgia classes. UWG's business students will be competing and interacting with some of the best students in the world."

Hey The New Normal fans! This one is for you!
The cast and crew of the hit NBC show were on hand last night at PaleyFest to talk about everything from John Stamos' character coming back to how shows like The New Normal have helped move forward positive discussions about gay marriage.
John Stamos was the host of the panel that included cast members Andrew Rannells, Justin Bartha, NeNe Leakes, Jayson Blair, Georgia King and Bebe Wood. Bebe, who plays cutie Shania on the show, even did some of her awesome impressions. It's good Andrew had told her to "watch drag queens doing Cher." So what did we learn about the upcoming season?
Well! You can expect marriage and a baby! But not in the way you might expect. Sadly, that was all we heard on that front. Show creator Ryan Murphy did reveal that John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy" will be used for a no dialogue section of an upcoming episode. With Yoko Ono's permission and everything!
Ryan also discussed the impact shows like his have had in overturning gay marriage bans, like California's Prop 8. At a recent meeting with two top lawyers he asked why they were so confident in an overturn. "What moved the bar in only 4 years? Without missing a beat, they both said, 'Television.' With shows like The New Normal and Modern Family and Glee, people feel that they know gay couples, they know gay people now more than ever."
Well there you go folks! Are you looking forward to the rest of The New Normal's season? What are you most excited about? Sound off in the comments!

South Africa/Zimbabwe: Raid highlights migrant abuse

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), South Africa/Zimbabwe: Raid highlights migrant abuse, 1 February 2008, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/47b4614a1e.html [accessed 31 May 2016]

Five hundred people, most believed to be Zimbabwean, were arrested late on Wednesday night at a Methodist Church in Johannesburg's inner-city. For the past four years the church has been a haven for Zimbabweans escaping their country's economic meltdown.
Home Affairs spokesperson Mantshele Tau confirmed that his department had provided support to the police, but said it had not been a Home Affairs or immigration initiative.
According to Johannesburg police spokesperson Captain Bhekizizwe Mavundla, the church was not specifically targeted but part of a larger operation in the area looking at illegally occupied buildings. He said the police only entered the church after community members alleged some of the church's residents were involved in crime.
Mavundla said it was this - and not the church's work with illegal migrants - that prompted the raid, and that some people at the church had been arrested for theft and drug possession. He could not confirm how many had been arrested for immigration matters.
"Police will only go inside the church to arrest suspects or criminals," he said. "It is our business to maintain the church's image for the whole of society; a church is a church."
But Methodist Bishop Paul Verryn said police had acted irresponsibly, and could have avoided storming the grounds with pepper spray and dogs. "They should have come to us the very minute they heard complaints and substantiated them," he said. "We know people have problems, but I don't ask everyone who comes through my door what they've been doing."
Human rights complaints
Verryn and his staff have filed complaints with the South African police oversight body, the Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD), regarding police behaviour during and since the raid, claiming that "What started at the church has not stopped."
He alleged that those arrested continue to be beaten and taunted by police, and pleas for the police to retrieve immigration papers from the church have been ignored.
There were also reports from South Africa's Legal Resource Centre (LRC) that police were briefly denied lawyers access to the accused. Despite police assurances that people who had been arrested would begin appearing in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court by Thursday, the LRC said only 50 dockets, all for immigration-related offences, had been delivered to the court by midday Friday.
According to police spokesperson Director Govindsamy Mariemuthoo said that under South African law those arrested must appear in court within 48 hours, unless that time falls outside the court's normal hours. Following this, the migrants can legally be held until Monday afternoon.
Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh, of Lawyers for Human Rights, said in a statement that the raid highlighted human rights violations much larger than those contained in the raid itself.
"A number of documented persons were arrested, along with persons who had either received an appointment to lodge their asylum claims at the Department of Home Affairs, or were in the process of lodging these claims," he said. "Home Affairs failed to issue any documentation to these persons indicating their immigration status in the country."
The Johannesburg Refugee Reception Office remains closed, despite several High Court orders mandating its reopening, forcing all asylum seekers to queue for weeks at the nearest office, which is about 40km away in South Africa's capital, Pretoria.
The AIDS lobby group, Treatment Action Campaign, issued a statement in response to the raid calling for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to intervene on the behalf of the people who had been taken into custody.

IDF continues targeting militant leaders in Gaza, striking at terrorists preparing to launch rockets at Israel.
Yoav Zitun, Roi Kais
Latest Update: 08.21.14, 19:11 / Israel News
Yoav Zitun, Roi Kais
Israeli Air Force operations against senior officials of both Hamas and Islamic Jihad continued Thursday, as Gaza militants ceaselessly fired rockets at Israel.
In the afternoon hours, the IAF killed an Islamic Jihad brigade commander in Rafah, as he was leaving a structure from which rockets were fired on Israel. The IDF also killed a few terror activists in the northern Strip who were preparing to launch rockets.
The terrorists were in a cemetery from which Grad rockets were fired on Ashkelon on Wednesday night.
At least 24 Palestinians were killed in IAF strikes in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, Gazan health officials said.
Four people were killed in Gaza City during an airstrike on a cemetery, where they were burying relatives killed earlier, AFP reported.
The IAF hit more than 40 targets across the Gaza Strip since midnight, including rocket launching posts and weapons manufacturing facilities.
Ilana Curiel and AFP contributed to this report.

BAND2GETHER Against Texting and Driving
Most people know the scary facts about texting and driving, but that isn't stopping drivers from continuing this dangerous bad habit. So let's go over some of the facts once again...
Did you know:
1 in 5 drivers of all ages admit to surfing the web while driving.
In 2011, at least 23% of auto collisions involved cell phones.
Five seconds is the minimum amount of time your attention is taken away from the road when you're texting and driving - if you are going 55MPH, that is the length of a football field!
- 27% of adults and 34% of teens say they text while driving. Plus, 15% of young drivers say they've seen their parent text while driving.
That's why FOX 47 and Farm Bureau Insurance are teaming up for BAND2GETHER, an initiative to bring more awareness to the dangers of texting and driving - and put the brakes on this trend before it gets worse.
Learn more about BAND2GETHER from FOX 47's Sarah Swistak during a special report on FOX 47 News:
On April 2, 2014, students from Maple Valley High School hosted an Anti-Texting and Driving assembly. Click here to see photos from the event.
Join the Band and pledge to BAND2GETHER against texting and driving.
Our special thumb bands will help remind you to put your phone away when you're behind the wheel - that text can wait until you arrive at your destination.
FOX 47 and Farm Bureau Insurance will be distributing the bands to local schools, at FOX 47's station in Lansing (600 W. St. Joseph Street, Suite 47), and at Farm Bureau locations across mid-Michigan.

My dad has gotten into biking these past 2 years, and this Christmas I was thinking of getting him a proper bike. He's 6'6" and 300 pounds and just turned 51, not totally unfit, but not ready to climb everest either. The bike he is using now I think is putting unnecessary pressure on his knees and back due to it being not big enough and him not being able to extend his legs enough.
For his type of riding (<15 miles/day max) I assume he needs some sort of hyrbid as they call it???
Any recommendations or places to start would be greatly appreciated, by not only me but him as well.
I will take him to the bike shop to try out whatever just to be sure, I just assumed there are more bikes in the world than are represented in the bike shop... So I sought some perspectives
