Mission Statement
The Journal of International and Global Studies provides a peer reviewed multidisciplinary forum for the critical discussion of and reflections on the consequences of globalization throughout the world. The Journal of International and Global Studies is an Open Access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, review essays, or book reviews, or use them for any other lawful purposes, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. The editors welcome essays and book reviews that deal with globalization from economists, historians, political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, linguists, religious, ethnic, or environmental studies specialists, cross-cultural education, media and communication researchers, or other humanities or social science scholars that have an international and global focus. One of our goals is to help undermine the fragmentation of specialization within the international academy by emphasizing broad interdisciplinary approaches to the comprehension of globalization in all of its many different forms and implications for different regions of the world.

Hi Folks
As you know, starting from AX 2009 was possible to use the SSRS Report instead of the Morphx Reports.
In the last weeks, I faced an issue during the Report Deployment. The error was:
Unable to connect to http://server/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx as specified in the config file for the report server at C:\…\RSReportServer.config. If this url is not correct please update the config file, otherwise make sure the report server is configured correctly.
I went through the Microsoft link https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/emeadaxsupport/2010/01/20/proxy-settings-can-interfere-dynamics-ax-2009-report-deployment/, but without luck.
Therefore, after some investigation and with help of Microsoft Support, I have fixed the issue.
Below what verify in priority order:
1- Check if the Antivirus is enabled and in detail the Real-time scan. Disable it or create the relative rules
2- Update the LanguageTable Table, field LabelFile. Only the languages with 1 on the LabelFile field will be deployed
a. select distinct LANGUAGE, HELPLANGUAGE from USERINFO
2- Update the LanguageTable Table, field LabelFile. Only the languages with 1 on the LabelFile field will be deployed
a. select distinct LANGUAGE, HELPLANGUAGE from USERINFO
b. select * into LANGUAGETABLE_Backup from LANGUAGETABLE
c. update LANGUAGETABLE set LabelFile = 0 where LanguageId not in ('en-us', 'it') //add any language found from first query
3- Extend timeout settings
a. Report Manager->Site settings->Report Execution Timeout->select "do not timeout report execution".
b. Increase the Timeout, so:
i. Open "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQLServer\MSSQL\ReportingServices\ReportManager\Web.config" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Web.config"
Search for httpRuntime executionTimeout="18000"
Search for httpRuntime executionTimeout="18000"
ii. Open "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config"
Search for:
Search for:
1. Add Key="SQLCommandTimeoutSeconds" Value="300"
2. Add Key="MaxActiveReqForOneUser" Value="60"
Add Key="DatabaseQueryTimeout"
iii. Increase these values as above, Restart SSRS Services and then test it.
c. Update machine.config to speedup .net performance
i. In C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\MACHINE.CONFIG, replace processModel autoConfig="true" with processModel maxWorkerThreads="100" maxIoThreads="100" minWorkerThreads="50"
ii. In C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\WEB.CONFIG, locate the
"system.web" Tag. Add the following as a child tag httpRuntime minFreeThreads="352"
Take care to make a backup of the configuration files before any modification!
Stay tuned!

"His commercial practice is underpinned by sound business and tactical knowledge."
Legal 500
Stephen has wide experience of appearing in specialist and general higher courts and tribunals across a range of commercial, property and chancery matters and in advising in litigation and in non-contentious business.
He focuses on ascertaining what both lay and professional clients wish to achieve from involving counsel and then providing them with precise advice and a clear road map towards success. His aim is to provide a user-friendly and approachable service that is flexible to client needs and goals. He believes that a thorough understanding of the evidence and issues at the very earliest opportunity provides the best prospect of useful advice, effective representation, reduced risk and costs and winning tactics.
He is a frequently used accredited mediator and is head of the mediation team at Ropewalk Chambers. His extensive experience as a mediator as well as a mediation advocate equips him well to recognise and to adopt professional routes and techniques that leave his clients satisfied that his input has added substantial value and has put them in a strong position to reach a good outcome.
Stephen believes that having a wide ranging practice gives him the advantage of being able to find insights, analogies and principles in areas outside the obvious ambit of a particular case and that this provides his clients with much better prospects of achieving the outcomes they seek.
He is married to a personal injury QC and they have three adult children.
His interests away from the Bar include creating and performing engaging card magic and collecting antique Colt revolvers.
This is a major element of Stephen's everyday practice and much of it involves companies, contracts or both.
Stephen has very extensive experience in advising upon and representing parties in company disputes relating to minority interests, commercial confidentiality, warranties and disclosure in share sales, directors' duties and disqualification and other shareholder/director/creditor/guarantor disputes. These have ranged from small family companies to large "household names". Recent cases include an appeal to the Court of Appeal upon the relevance of capital assets and liabilities to a multiplier/multiplicand based share valuation in unfairly prejudicial conduct proceedings and Commercial Court proceedings challenging a seven figure award in a professional partnership dispute.
One area in which he has specialised for many years is competition between businesses involving unfair trading practices and breaches of express and implied restraints on directors, officers, employees, partners and other joint venturers as well as covenants given by vendors of businesses.
He has extensive experience of representing finance providers in relation to finance agreements and guarantees and, for example, recently successfully extracted a household name credit company from the PIPS breast implant group litigation without any liability in costs or damages.
Another area of practice has been advising insurers upon issues such as coverage, exclusions, misrepresentation and non-disclosure. This has recently included advising in detail on ATE liability in nationally reported litigation as well as upon insurers' liability for substantial long tail personal injury claim damages.
Stephen has dealt with very many claims relating to defective goods and services. These have ranged from fires caused by domestic appliances to the responsibility between international parties for the collapse of substantial elements of extensive commercial factory premises.
Stephen also has a great deal of experience in advising and representing parties in complicated and lengthy arbitrations and expert determinations between businesses or professionals. These have often involved applications to the Commercial Court to support or to challenge the awards and conduct of experts or adjudicators.
His commercial work can frequently involve emergency interim applications where documents must be drafted extremely urgently and the material facts and law have to be assimilated and then presented quickly, accurately and convincingly to a Court in a cost-effective and "judge-friendly" manner.
Quite apart from his own need as a professional to keep up-to-date and compliant with this rapidly developing area of law, Stephen has provided both preventative and remedial advice and assistance to other professionals.
Related work has involved defending confiscation claims in criminal courts as well as more general money laundering issues such as disclosure procedures and tipping off offences
Stephen has extensive experience of company insolvency and personal bankruptcy litigation which has involved him acting for or against liquidators, administrators, receivers and trustees.
Very recent cases have involved seeking compensation for improper trading and preferences and company restorations.
Areas within which Stephen is very often called upon to advise and litigate are easements, restrictive covenants and options that may often be crucial to profitable land development. These cases have ranged from disputes between neighbours on boundaries, nuisance and rights of way to issues with or between household name developers and land owners involving large residential sites. He aims to provide insightful, comprehensive and practical advice when either promoting or resisting development proposals.
Another regular area of practice is the protection and enforcement of land contracts and other interests. This has included court and tribunal hearings particularly where difficult land registration issues have arisen.
Recent cases have involved liability for subsidence, fire, flooding and tree root damage.
Stephen is frequently called upon to deal with rights and liabilities under commercial leases. Recent cases have involved enforcement of rent arrears and covenants against and between successors to the original parties.
Stephen has defended and pursued numerous professional duty breach cases involving lawyers, accountants , insurance intermediaries and other non-medical experts.
He finds that even where duty and breach cannot be realistically contested there are frequently difficult issues of causation, remoteness and quantum of damages that provide ample opportunity for his brand of creative and effective argument.
Stephen has had extensive advisory and High Court experience of making and defending claims involving the meaning of testamentary dispositions and issues of testamentary capacity, due execution and undue influence.

text: WillyOne Friday morning, our Shelter Director, Kathy, got a phone call from a concerned woman reporting that she'd discovered a goat in her house, which isn't too far from the Sanctuary. She was hoping Kathy could come and catch him.The goat, who the local residents were calling Willy, had reportedly jumped off of a truck months before. He had been wandering around lost, eating weeds and gardens, all summer. No one had been able to catch him.As Willy was probably being transported for slaughter on that truck, he really saved his own life. But he was still in danger. Not everyone likes having a goat wander through their yard. He was constantly being chased and there were reports of neighbors firing shots at Willy. And with hunting season in the Hudson Valley quickly approaching, Kathy knew that he'd be a target for everyone who traveled to the area to hunt deer.So as soon as Kathy learned that Willy had turned up in someone's house, she grabbed Caregiver Todd, treats, and some harnesses.They arrived to find Willy in the living room. Frightened by the newcomers, he began running around the house looking for an escape. With some treats and gentle coaxing, Kathy and Todd were quickly able to get ahold of Willy and bring him to the truck for transport.Todd comforts Willy moments after his rescue.During the ride back, Todd sat in the bed of the truck with Willy and spoke softly and reassuringly to him. Gradually, Willy leaned against Todd for comfort. He already knew he was in a better place, surrounded by those who care for him.Willy's story is a mystery, but he is safe with us now. He's still skittish—only used to being chased by people on the street and not being treated kindly. But we know he will learn to trust quickly, as he's already warming up to our staff. And we know that Willy will be such a great addition to the herd when he is out of quarantine.Any gifts at this time will help us care for him and all of our rescued farmed animals.We already love him. Welcome, Willy, to a place where you are valued and seen as a friend, not food.

Should We Cheer For Galen Rupp in Rio?
I can say, without a doubt, that for me, the most exciting moment of the 2012 London Olympic Games was the final 3 laps of the Men's 10,000 meters final.
As the final laps of the race began, Alberto Salazar's protege, Galen Rupp, a 26 year old American was still hanging in with the older, more experienced, Kenyan and Ethiopian runners. Rupp patiently held his position in the middle of the lead pack for another 2.5 laps; and then, with 200 meters left in the race, he unleashed a perfectly timed finishing kick and surged past everyone except his friend and training partner Mo Farah. Farah won the gold medal and Rupp won the silver medal.
Rupp's silver medal was the first medal won by an American in the 10,000 meters in 48 years. The moment that Galen Rupp crossed the finish line in second place, he instantly changed the dialogue about the ability of a native born American runner being able to compete against the best distance runners in the World. For the first time in decades, the future of American distance running looked bright.
Unfortunately, the hope of a bright future that Galen Rupp brought to American distance running began to dim all to soon. On June 3rd, 2015 a report surfaced that accused Alberto Salazar of giving the runners that he coached, including Galen Rupp, performance enhancing drugs.

Vegetarian Moussaka
Ok, that includes leftovers but I made two meals where the eggplant was prominent. Take a look at this serving of moussaka. Finely cut vegetables made layers upon layers of tasty bites.
This dish has everything - eggplant, zucchini, onions, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes and lentils.
Here it is with the ingredients all merged together. I sprinkled feta cheese over the top. Now it bakes for 25 minutes before I pour bechamael sauce over it.
This came out so so much better than I thought it might. I was expecting to serve it with a big spoon because I didn't think it would firm up as lasagna does. But it did, and it was fabulous.
In trying to get into better shape we have been cutting back on meat in our weekly meal rotations. This is one dish we will certainly have again.
Don't be put off by the lengthy list of ingredients but I will warn you - this meal takes about an hour and a half to get on the table. It's the 50 minute bake time and the prep that makes this a weekend meal.
But totally worth it!
Heat up some naan, prepare a spinach salad and open a bottle of Dreaming Tree Crush. Perfection.
Vegetarian Moussaka
1 eggplant, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
1 large zucchini, thinly sliced
2 potatoes, thinly sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
1/2 (14.5 ounce) can lentils, drained with liquid reserved
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rinse and pat eggplant dry. Cook eggplant and zucchini in hot oil until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side; remove with a slotted spoon to drain on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving as much oil as possible in the skillet
Adding more oil to skillet as needed and let it get hot. Cook potato slices in hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side; remove with slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate, again reserving oil in the skillet.
Saute onion and garlic in reserved oil until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in vinegar, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until liquid is reduced in volume and thick. Stir in tomatoes, lentils, 1/2 the juice from lentils, oregano and parsley. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes.
Layer about 1/3 of the eggplant, 1/3 of the zucchini, 1/2 the potatoes, 1/2 the onions, and 1/2 the feta into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Pour tomato mixture over vegetables; repeat layering, finishing with a layer of eggplant and zucchini.
Cover and bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Stir butter, flour, and milk together in a small saucepan; bring to a slow boil, whisking constantly until thick and smooth. Season with pepper and nutmeg; stir. Remove from heat, cool for 5 minutes, and stir in beaten egg.
Pour sauce over vegetables and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, for another 25 to 30 minutes.
Next week I will share a baked ratatouille. It was a snap to put together.
I am sharing this with Beth Fish's Weekend Cooking Series.

That looks so good. We're trying to eat healthier, and that sure seems to be healthy. Don't know about the feta cheese though. Pinning it.

This does look good but despite the fact I know I SHOULD like eggplant I just can't seem to make myself actually like it! I've heard it's great as a meat substitute so I can definitely see why it's been on your meal list so often.
- September 14, 2016 9:15 AM
- Tina said...
Vicki, you could probably substitute the cheese choice....maybe mozzarella.
Katherine, well........if you don't like eggplant you may not like this. I cut this very thin and so you won't get the great cubes or chunks as there are in ratatouille. It is like meat though.

*BIG SIGH* I cannot get my husband to eat eggplant for love nor money and I love eggplant parm.

We've been eating eggplant lately too -- And, yeah, Mr. BFR joins the crowd of men who aren't crazy about the vegetable, though he'll eat it.
I made an eggplant, tomato, zucchini bake thing yesterday.
I love moussaka but have never made a vegetarian version ... must try!

Hi Tina, visiting from Weekedn Cooking, as Ia veggie I had to come on right over. I like moussaka and its been a while since i had some, with autumn around the corner, its will be on my list to make.

This sounds absolutely scrumptious!! Love eggplant dishes. Bookmarking right now. :)

I'm not fond of eggplant either, and it may be because it is a tiny bit like meat - in the texture, perhaps? But I'm interested in some of the other ingredients, and may try a variation of the dish.
- September 17, 2016 12:48 PM
- Claudia said...
I've saved that one to make - it does sound good. We have the same situation with eggplant though, husband not in favor, but when it can be disguised with good cooking, will eat.

- Mae Travels said...
Eggplant definitely elicits a variety of reactions -- some people love it, some really don't. Interesting that your preparation concealed the eggplant with all those other ingredients. Last year I made an absolutely classic rattatouille from Julia Child's book and it was worth it!

I would like to give moussaka a go. Have a great week. Cheers from Carole's Chatter

- Marg said...
I do love a good moussaka with or without meat.
Last time I made it my son informed me that he didn't like eggplant and therefore was not going to eat the top or bottom layers. He ate the middle layer though! I don't think he realised it was there.

What If a Small City Disappeared?

If 18,000 women in Canada went missing, would people take notice? The equivalent number of women in terms of Canada's national Aboriginal population has gone missing since 1957. Many were murdered. Few were found alive. A lot are still unaccounted for.

text: I released my first self-published pdf, Marketplace (kind of exciting!). It is a system-neutral product that provides 26 unique shops for any fantasy town/city setting. The goal was to provide shops that could either be catalysts for a night's adventure or as background flavor as the PCs wander through a town. A secondary, and perhaps more important, goal was to put a twist on the shops, to make them memorable and interesting. If you are curious you can see/get it here.

A lot of ancestors have anxiety and stress. Developing a complimentary outlook could be a way to get through the mental state. Defeating anxiety could likewise help in your same drive. Positive affirmations and changing the way you assume may not hard work for everyone, but it is deserving the physical exertion to go this approach.
Self self-confidence and how you come up with of yourself commonly takes a battering when you are underneath weight and having mental state. Telling yourself that you can't do thing or that you a moment ago are not pious adequate to be sure causes psychological state. Change the way you parley to yourself and be more appreciative (yes, it does purloin donkey work) and it will renovate your cognition and soften burden and hence mental state. Give yourself acknowledgment for your slap-up virtues and beef up those opinion on a day-to-day foundation and you will be on the avenue to eliminating mental state in your go and dell up those issues that caused the anxiety.
Create a new way of superficial at yourself and your life span all day done not like methods of optimistic intelligent. One of the top-quality distance to do this is to have other constructive relations in your existence. Being about these relations will withdraw your brainwave activity when these same defeating attitudes creep in. Their appreciative noesis will in due course rub off on you. There are holding you like-minded more or less you whether you judge it or not. Start a inventory. Are you a wearing clothes person? Are you kind? Anytime those unpleasant imaginings enter upon travel in, bring up to that list. Doing this on a well-ordered principle will improve your trust and allow you to try new belongings.Post ads:

And on the 7th day, there was Sourdough Bread...
This was Ronny's first attempt at baking bread with the starter I made. It's a weird looking bread but it had a lovely crust, tasted like a nice loaf of bread...and smelled great. Whatever the shortcomings of this bread - we were both amazed that we were able to make bread at all with the gooey stuff I kept in a bottle for a week, so I have to say this whole process has been a lot of fun.
I won't post this recipe because either we didn't do something right or the recipe itself has a flaw, but I'm not going to blame the yeast because I think they did their bit.
Over the next week, we'll be experimenting with baking sourdough bread a bit more, and if we manage to bake anything worth sharing with you, we'll post or link to the recipe we used.
Note: Only 75 g of starter was used to bake this bread. You know how you throw out half the starter before feeding it? Well, we poured all the stuff that was going to be thrown away into a bowl on my kitchen scale (making adjustments so that the the scale would read zero with the bowl on it) and then threw out all except 75 g.

Why does it look weird? I think it looks delicious :-)
I think I read somewhere that the outcome also depends on the quality of the flour you use (the content of gluten, protein etc.) and of course the type (wheat, rye etc.)

- Trish said...
Oh it looks good there! I think it looks like 'rustic' bread. And I am sure it tastes delicious! Good on you! There is nothing like fresh bread or buns filling your kitchen with that heavenly scent, right?! I just pulled out my two loaves of sourdough...I'll share it on my post tomorrow. It looks great...a little 'squat' though...grin, next time I'll put it in a different pan. I can't taste it though...being on a 'diet' I need my boys here...my taste testers and they are gone for the weekend but back tomorrow. Come on by and see then...I am so proud of you...that was such an interesting account you kept for us all to see....why...you should the be the chemist...not moi! grin. Have a great evening...or is it morning there?!

Dorte: Thank you - you are too kind. And thanks for the tips. The dough was very very soft and felt like it needed to be inside a mold. Because we plopped it onto the hot tray without a mold - it just kind of spread out.
Trish: Smart girl! You put yours inside pans so they wouldn't sprawl all over the place! hehe
Elra: Thanks for your help & encouragement. :)

I'm so proud of you!
Now that I'm back from our trip and have time to tend to a starter, I'll be making a sourdough loaf like this in 1-weeks time.

1973 Chevrolet
Camaro Z/28

Some cars are just born nasty, and you can tell that this '73 Camaro Z/28 was a no-holds-barred machine from the moment it rolled off the assembly line. Today it's a numbers-matching Z that's been taken to the next level, thanks to a stunning paint job, a snarling small block, and a ton of attitude.
To answer your first question, yes, this is a real Z/28, since the 1973 trim tag includes the Z28 option code on all authentic cars, and the 75 B paint code is Medium Red without stripes. But no new car in 1973, not even a stock Camaro ever looked this good. There's a ton of time and money tied up in the bodywork, which includes the original flat surface hood hood and 3-piece rear spoiler, and it's shocking how clean and sleek this car looks, particularly for the era. 1973 was the last year for the wide mouth RS grille and separate bumperettes up front, and it's a look that many Camaro enthusiasts seem to prefer, so it was all restored to stock condition with a blacked-out grille and beautiful fresh chrome. The paint is two-stage urethane that simply glows, with a mile-deep shine and reproduction badges that tell you just enough about the car to make it intimidating on the street.
Remember when I mentioned that this car was special from the start? Dig the big pile of options inside this one, including power windows, factory A/C, and a tilt column. The black bucket seats were beautifully restored to stock condition, there are new carpets on the floor, and the door panels are simply too nice to be original. All the original gauges are still in the dash, augmented by burled walnut appliques that were, for some unknowable reason, standard equipment on just about every car GM built in 1973. The shifter for the numbers-matching TH400 3-speed automatic underneath is standard Z/28 fare, but the Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo in the dash is a user-friendly upgrade that's much appreciated. In back, the trunk is quite clean and includes a fifth SS wheel, what may be an original Firestone bias-ply tire, and correct jack assembly.
This Z also walks the walk, compliments of its original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch small block V8. Even built to completely stock specs and carrying all its original, numbers-matching equipment (carb, intake, heads, etc.), it's still a formidable performer on the street. Nicely detailed using Chevy Orange paint on the block, finned Z/28 valve covers, and a shiny air cleaner, it delivers impressive performance despite the reputation this time-period has for tepid performance. Underneath, it is exceptionally clean with original floors, and out back a set of 3.42 gears in the original 12-bolt housing help deliver neck-snapping acceleration. The suspension has just the right rake, giving the car a predatory stance, and the soundtrack is compliments of a Flowmaster exhaust system. Finishing it off are those gorgeous 15-inch factory SS wheels wearing fat 235/60/15 BFG radials that are a big performance boost over that Firestone bias-ply.
This brilliant Camaro is one '70s muscle car that delivers on the promises its looks make and more. The numbers-matching powertrain is merely icing on an already very appealing cake. Call today!

Long Term Bacteria Monitoring in Boston Harbor
Kelly Coughlin
Environmental Quality Department
Massachusetts Water Resources Authority
Delivered at 2003 Boston Harbor Islands Science Symposium.
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority's (MWRA) $4 billion Boston Harbor Project to remediate sewage discharges in Boston Harbor was completed in 2001. MWRA has been monitoring the effects of the project on harbor water quality since 1989. A major concern was the effect of pathogens in wastewater and sludge discharged to the harbor on public health. MWRA monitored two types of indicator bacteria, fecal coliform and Enterococcus, to track the effects on water quality as different stages of the project were completed. The data show improvements in bacterial water quality throughout the harbor as pumping capacity improved, sludge discharges ended, secondary treatment came on-line and the harbor outfalls were decommissioned. Now, most of Boston Harbor meets the most stringent marine bacterial water quality criteria recommended by EPA.

Find your perfect Job!
This is example text for the description text. Just the good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm. Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Straight'nin' the curve, flat'nin' the hills. Someday the mountain might get 'em, but the law never will. Makin' their way, the only way they know how, that's just a little bit more than the law will allow. Just good ol' boys, wouldn't change if they could, fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood. Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-team.

Trek Fuel EX 7 29 - 2016
Take the crisp handling, active suspension, and playful nature of Trek's Fuel EX and bump it up with 29-inch wheels. You just became unstoppable. The Fuel EX 7 29 uses an Alpha aluminum frame and all the magic that puts Trek at the head of the pack. Things like the E2 head tube, and Full Floater and ABP rear suspension technologies make for a ride that obliterates the line between a hard-charging trail bike and nimble XC bike. The front RockShox fork and rear Fox suspension is responsive, plush, and handles hits way above its 120mm. It all rolls on Bontrager tubeless-ready, thru-axle Duster Elite hoops wrapped in proper 2.3-inch knobbies. Plus, with Bontrager Race Lite components, Shimano 2x10 gearing, and Shimano Deore discs, all your trails just got a lot easier. Like we mentioned, unstoppable.
Trek's premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. Frames built with Trek's Alpha Platinum aluminum are hydroformed to create the most sophisticated shapes for the lightest weight, and are finished using their smooth-weld process.
|Trek's G2 Geometry (version 2 of Gary Fisher's Genesis Geometry) delivers the ultimate ride for every trail. Genesis earned rave reviews for awesome handling on climbs and descents thanks to a long top tube paired with a short stem that moves the front wheel forward for top-notch confidence and control, while short chainstays add phenomenal traction. G2 Geometry takes these handling traits to the next level by boosting control on tight singletrack and technical climbs, too. This is accomplished by increasing the amount of fork offset (reducing trail), which makes G2 bikes steer more quickly, and by shortening the reach, which puts more weight on the front wheel for even better control and confidence. The two animations above showcase how G2 Geometry provides the perfect ride.

I had a cheaper Trek hard tail 29er and upgraded to this for the full suspension. I was worried that the susp + large wheels would kill the handling. But nope! This bike handles every bit as good as my hardtail. I can go up tight twisty switchbacks even with my 21.5" model. The suspension is amazing. "Trail" mode is what I use the most but I put it in "climb" during gravel grinds and "descend" on any technical downhill. The bike climbs extremely well in "Trail" and "climb" mode with no noticeable loss in power from the suspension compressing. Even when climbing in "descend" mode the bike doesn't bob too much and you'll notice a huge increase in traction. i am not an intense downhiller but my speed and confidence raised dramatically with this bike. I notice that I can "pump" the trail and gain more speed by compressing the suspension in the corners and dips. This bike is extremely capable on all types of trails - singleltrack, downhill, slalom, gravel grinding. Will it downhill like a true downhill bike? No. Will it be as fast as a Superfly on singletrack? Probably not. But it will switch between the two better than any other bike.

I have owned around 11 +/- Trek Cycles over the past few years and this one is the ride I have been looking for, it's a great combo. Trail to Road it can move out on the road as well as it can on the trail. I recommend this cycle with 5+ Stars out of 5+. Great buy on my 2014 as well. I am very happy to say the least.

I am a mountain bike fan. I enjoy riding on the mountain trails. This bike is great, fast, reliable, moves over every obstacle on the trail. One downsize is the tires that lack grip on wet conditions like muddy terrain and wet roots. When cornering over wet roots sometimes the tires slip bad loosing control.

Angry, extremist, communist, Islamist, progressive, liberal-left, social-justice, Occupooper, whatever, you name it. They're all there representing the Hard Left.
They oppose Prime Minister Stephen Harper's agenda of fighting terrorism. Even though they generally have no idea what's in Bill C-51 they "protest" against and think there's lots of crazy things in it that aren't.
They do NOT represent mainstream Canadiana at all and are offside with the values of Canadians.
They are radical, revolutionary extremists. They are not regular folks. Call 'em Bolsheviks, whatever you want. They're Useful Idiots for sure. Of course, there's some community organizers as well, as somebody's gotta tell 'em where to go, give them expensive, professionally-printed signs, what slogans and talking points to bellow, etc. Funny how many of these folks haven't a clue what's what. They're just planted to holler and hold up expensive professional signs. Probably paid. I wouldn't be surprised if some funding for this bunch's stunt could ultimately be traced back to the likes of George Soros, following investigation of the organizers, their connections and the connections of their connections, following of the money trail, etc.

Yoga welcomes and nurtures all bodies, it calms our minds and creates a greater connection to our inner selves. You are safe here.
I fell into yoga as a means to keep an injured back healed. The joy I found in yoga surprised me and kept me coming back for more. New injuries began showing up and so began my journey to find out why and how to prevent them – this is what initiated my teacher training and ultimately led me to Iyengar yoga.
In 2014, I completed my Hatha Yoga Teacher training within a Yoga Alliance accredited program, co-run by Lauren Roegele, director of the Vancouver School of Yoga's Foundational teacher training program and Kara Coleman, instructor and owner of Parallel Yoga.
Since late 2014, I have been studying under Eileen Millar's tutelage, a Junior Intermediate II instructor within the Iyengar system with over 20 years experience. I am honoured to have the opportunity to assist in her gentle yoga classes for students with special needs, as well as the weekly instruction and intensives.
I am profoundly grateful for all that I have been taught and continue to learn. I now bring this knowledge to my students – sharing knowledge is an important part of my daily practice.
My current classes include the kid's yoga class and a beginner class.
I look forward to meeting you.

Is anyone else having trouble using this object? It works great on the floor but if you put it on anything the objects don't align. Also you can't put it together on the floor and move it because the items don't group. Any solutions? I love this object and would love to get more use out of it but I just don't see the appeal of putting it on the floor!ReplyDelete
I didn't make the tree with slots that's why they don't group and you can't move them together.

So I came here to see if there was a way to get it to work...looks like the answer is no unless you put it on the floor? Love the set, but whats the point?ReplyDelete

Montana Capitals
The establishment of governance in the area eventually to become Montana is a decisive example of order in a frontier region. Upon arrival in what was then Idaho Territory, settlers and gold-seekers established quasi-governments to bring order and justice to the chaotic mining camps and isolated settlements of the territory. Mining districts—democratic organizations with a few elected public officers—provided settlers with a means to deal with claim conflicts and a forum to adjudicate differences.
These frontier institutions, however, could not bring peace during a wave of violent robberies and killings around Bannack and Virginia City (Alder Gulch) in 1862-1863. The territorial capital of Lewiston at the western edge of the Idaho territory had little effect on criminal activity since hundreds of miles and vast mountain ranges separated the capital from the settlements. Beleaguered miners and settlers chose two routes to peace and stability, a vigilante presence to challenge, if not cease, criminal activities and a concerted effort to found a new territory from the eastern section of the enormous Idaho Territory.
Sidney Edgerton, recently arrived chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Idaho Territory and retired congressman, travelled to Washington D.C. as an emissary to negotiate for creation of this new territory. President Abraham Lincoln and Congress supported the endeavor and signed the Organic Act which created the Montana Territory on May 26, 1864. Lincoln later appointed Edgerton the first territorial governor, and Edgerton identified Bannack as the interim territorial capital.
The built environment of Bannack reflected the town's gold camp status with crude, haphazardly constructed log buildings serving the transient and fluctuating population. Nonetheless, the town held the first jail of the territory and a cabin which proved suitable for government administration. The first representative governing body, the Montana Territorial Legislature, met in Bannack during the winter of 1864-1865.
In this first session, the Legislature voted to move the territorial capital to the thriving mining and population center of Virginia City. The mixture of log and frame structures, a bit more refined than Bannack, would house territorial officials, courts, and the legislature for nearly all of the Territory's first crucial decade of existence.
Another burgeoning mining camp located at a place called Last Chance Gulch challenged Virginia City's capital status. Throughout the 1860s Helena rose in population and influence within the Territory while Virginia City declined. Virginia City held the capital through two elections in the 1860s, one of which was riddled with claims of fraud and mysterious burning of ballots. The election of August 1874 resulted in the designation of Helena as the territorial capital, though it too was marred by election fraud and not decided by the Montana Territorial Supreme Court until 1875.
The Lewis and Clark County Courthouse served as the territorial and the state capitol as Helena retained capital status after the granting of statehood in 1889. Proximity to proposed railroad lines, large industrial mining operations, and centralized location at a lower elevation, all aided the city in its first decades of service as the seat of government. By supporting economic prosperity and upholding the peace and stability sought by early settlers of the territory, this capital city grew into the modern seat of government for the expansive, geographically diverse state of Montana.

New STUDY THE SOUTH Essay by Aram Goudsouzian
New Study the South Essay by Aram Goudsouzian
An essay by Aram Goudsouzian. Published March 31, 2016.
"'Back to One City': The 1973 Memphis State Tigers and Myths of Race and Sport"
In 1973 the Memphis State Tigers reached the finals of the NCAA basketball tournament. Though they lost to UCLA, they inspired a civic myth. With each victory, the city's enthusiasm ballooned, with paeans to stars Larry Finch, Ronnie Robinson, and Larry Kenon, as well as coach Gene Bartow. Politicians upheld the team as a vehicle of interracial unity, supposedly healing the scars from Martin Luther King's assassination in 1968. This myth has elements of truth, as basketball provided common ground across lines of race and class. Yet it hides as much as it reveals. Success in basketball smoothed over Memphians' anxieties about the university, the city, and the future of race relations. The story of this season thus illuminates how sports can not only foster racial progress, but also obscure racial divisions.
