I realize I'm in the minority here, but I seem to be one of the rare people who prefer the three-step dropper post style over the infinitely adjustable. With an infinite, the saddle is always too high or too low and I just find myself fiddling with it a lot. The Pulse combines the best of both with a unique "stepped" adjustment system. A soft tug of the remote lever lowers the post 5mm. Want to go 10mm? Give it two clicks. A little lower? Five or six clicks is a perfect "trail" position. If you give the lever a full-pull, it allows the post to move freely up and down its entire 100mm range, so you can slam it for that big drop that's coming up quick. I know, when we first heard of this design we were thinking "wait, what?" too, but after using it for several months, it strikes me as a pretty brilliant idea.
Made in Canada, the Pulse dropper is built with Swiss-style precision. Even the eco-friendly packaging is worth complimenting. I set it up, got the CNC-machined lever where I wanted it, rode the snot out of it and haven't adjusted it since. There is virtually no side to side play at the saddle, and it doesn't extend when you lift the bike by the saddle. When the bushings and seals wear out out you can order a user-serviceable rebuild kit and it even ships with a limited lifetime warranty.
It's clear for many people the lever itself is going to be the biggest make-or-break element of the Pulse dropper. The mini-brake lever design can also be removed and installed without removing any of your other controls, and can be mounted on either the left or right. In early 2014 9Point8 will make a more conventional thumb lever standard with all seatposts.
It takes some getting used to, and requires you to lift your finger off the brake lever to operate it, but unless I was really pushing myself at race pace, I didn't mind. In fact, the size of the lever makes it easy to operate over rough terrain, far more so than some smaller thumb levers on other dropper posts.
Not everyone was so forgiving of the remote lever. The first tester installed it on a Shimano brake equipped bike. The tall fluid reservoir rotated the remote up pretty dramatically, and a quick parking lot spin had him back in the shop removing it and handing off to another reviewer. Another rider was fine with it on brakes like Avids, with an inline reservoir, but found the set-up forced by Shimano-style brakes to be a big no-go for performance oriented riding. As you can see in the picture, I didn't mind one bit.
Getting your saddle in exactly the right position is also easier, since it can be configured with a standard or 25mm offset head (sold separately) and two micro-adjust fore-aft clamp bolts a la Thomson seatposts. Another real plus are the height markings laser-etched on the post's body. I don't need to use them often, but it's always irritating when they aren't there. The main shaft is available in 30.9 (tested) and 31.6mm sizes and the you can also adjust the speed of the saddle return with the air pressure in the internal air spring.
For now the $500 Pulse is available only with an external, cable-actuated remote and is sold only customer-direct through the 9point8 website. Yes, it is expensive, but it is made by hand in the land of maple leafs and poutine, including the machining of most of the parts. The lever shape is polarizing, but I actually prefer it to many of the others on the market. Quirks aside, the build quality and reliability have made this my new favorite dropper post.

The first disc is rather upbeat, with much levity, and I think it would be great for social gatherings, especially on summer evenings, but those were not the circumstances in which I listened to it, and so perhaps thats why I didn't take to it. The second disc has lots of accordion, is also rather merry but some also are more mellow and nostalgic. No tracks from either disc really stood out.

Believe in Imam Mahdi (AJ) started with Islam (Part 20)
SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) – Many people ask if it is possible to meet Imam Mahdi (AJ) during the major occultation. To answer the question, it must be said that according to all the narrations from infallible Imams, it can be understood that based on logical and narrative reasons, there are no limits in the possibility of meeting Imam Mahdi (AJ) during the major occultation. But the famous sentence of Imam Mahdi (AJ) must be taken into the consideration. Imam (AS) wrote that at the time (of major occultation) whoever claims meeting me before the coming of Sofyani and the loud noise from the sky is a liar and a slanderer.
Of course there are explanations to this sentence above and below it by Imam Mahdi (AJ) and explanations in other narrations from infallibles indicate to the fact that this sentence relate to those who falsely claim to be the deputy of Imam Mahdi (AJ) and not those whom Imam (AS) give special permissions for a meeting with him during the major occultation. Therefore it can realised that the great Shia scholars based on the necessity and urgency of matters have achieved meeting Imam Mahdi (AJ) during the major occultation such as Moqaddas Ardabili, Allama Seyyed Bahrul Uloom, the Grand Ayatollah Mar'ashi Najafi and others.

Stocks opened lower on Monday after a key manufacturing barometer showed factories continue to suffer in the slumping economy. The New York Empire Manufacturing Index slumped 9.41 points in May, indicating difficult times in the sector and presenting a headwind for economic growth. And IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said that the worst may be yet to come for the global economic crisis. Read and listen to what the experts had to say…
Markets Set for Another Pullback
The move to the upside over the last week or so has been caused more by a lack of selling pressure, said Dodge Dorland, CIO of Landor Capital Management. "If selling pressure comes back into the market, the demand for buying stocks now is rather weak relative to what it's been, and so we're setup for a pullback," he said.
Markets Are Still Contracting
The economy has averted a depression, but it is still shrinking and the stock market has got carried away with all these green shoot discussions, said Juerg Zingg of Q Investments. "There's nothing like a rebound here—markets have taken too much optimism as a result we expect market correction," he said.
Investors Too Nervous to do Anything
According to Barclays Wealth and The Economist Intelligence Unit's latest report, high net-worth investors across the globe say they are seeing significant investment opportunities in the current markets, but most are still too nervous to take the plunge.

The digital marketing agency's wide-ranging report said the recession will force advertisers to look for media that will offer "measurability" and "differentiation." It also said that marketers will look to media that delivers return on investment in the recession, but even search spending, noted for its ROI potential, will see a slowdown in growth in the coming year due to the downturn.
Razorfish also announced in the report that its publishers of the year are New York Times Digital, Yahoo and Federated Media, based on "service, creativity and responsiveness." —Sean Callahan

Why, violins, men in wigs and women in bodices.
Pictures: "Dancing with the Stars" Season 14
Yes, this was Classical Night. So what could be more appropriate than beginning with classical singer Katherine Jenkins? And what could be even more appropriate than getting her to dance the rumba?
"You can't spell classical without 'ass,'" insisted her partner, Mark Ballas. Dressed as if they'd come straight from a toga orgy, it was odd to see them prancing to Pachelbel's "Canon in D."
Ballas decided to go entirely topless. Jenkins did not. Though the movements and choreography were sophisticated, it was a pity that Ballas' body is so adorned with tattoos. Somehow, that took a little of the classicism away.
"You kept it elegant," mused Len Goodman. He was pleased it lacked raunch. Bruno Tonioli was not.
"Literally the girl on top all the time," he said, before complaining that he preferred things a little steamier. Carrie Ann Inaba found it all a little false. Perhaps Jenkins should have wept.
Melissa Gilbert, she of the concussion of recent weeks, was the less injured of her pair. Partner Maksim Chemrkovskiy has an injured foot. Fortunately, he has a dancing brother, Val, who doesn't have an injured foot. He shadowed their rehearsals.
Still, Maks decided he would perform on the night. This Argentine tango was an interesting affair - between a younger man and an older woman. There was an enormous amount of up and down. It was as if the performance was sponsored by Otis, the lift manufacturer.
Gilbert seemed a little windswept through the whole thing, as if she were waiting for Heathcliff to rescue her from this Ukrainian marauder. In the end, she cast Chmerkovskiy aside and settled for a bald mannequin.
"It looked like you were riding the cyclone on Coney Island," said Tonioli. He explained that Mozart's rhythms weren't exactly made for the tango.
"It was like Cirque Du Soleil gone terribly wrong," added Inaba, who is often very careful when criticizing women of a certain age.
Gilbert's face dropped toward oblivion. Chmerkovsiky turned away in disgust, a pose he manages extremely well.
William Levy was being asked to dance the Viennese Waltz. Levy has an injured ankle. This dance was overshadowed by the sight (and voice) of Jackie Evancho, a 12-year-old with the voice of a 52-year-old. Levy and partner Cheryl Burke offered something very proper to "Ave Maria", but ultimately it was all a little demure. The ladies in the audience were still moved.
Inaba found it "magnificent." She said the romance had been brought to life. Tonioli spoke of "purity" and "ethereal quality." But you could tell he was missing a little raunch.
It's remarkable that Roshon Fegan is still here, after a couple of visits to the nether regions. "There's one thing Chelsie can't teach me," he mused during rehearsals. "And that's how to be a man." I am not sure that would truly be beyond Fegan's partner, but it's good to see that he is at least in touch with his frailties.
His music was classical, um, Gaga. Sometimes it seems as if the judges (and the voters) don't really like Fegan, because he seems to like himself quite enough.
"I'd like to have seen a little bit of tension through your feet," observed Goodman.
Tonioli was also unhappy with his legs. Inaba came out from behind the judges' table and hugged Fegan with some mature profusion.
Donald Driver dancing the Viennese waltz doesn't exactly conjure the emotive juices. Still, he began on a throne and tried to play the part of a man of the court, as opposed to a man of the gridiron. This was a very peculiar "La Don E Mobile." In a coat made out of one of my old posh girlfriend's drapes, Driver's feet were far more persuasive than his arms, which seemed to believe that they were needed to power tomorrow's wind farms.
Inaba desperately feared there had been a lift, which is so verboten in the waltz. Goodman accused him of a bizarre fleckle, something to which many are prone to once in a while.
"Be a female," begged Derek Hough of Maria Menounos in rehearsals. This sent Maria into a crying jag - and, sadly, didn't make Hough think about how, just occasionally, he looks very slightly girly.
However, when their paso doble began, Menounos had jagged teeth. Yes, fangs that emerged from her mouth, as if she was Vincent Price's love child. She scowled throughout and her body trusted Hough, as it fell to the floor with perfect, long lines.
With quite wonderful aplomb, she bit him to death. Then she dragged his carcass to the judges' table.
"That did suck, my friend," said Inaba, with peculiar humor.
Goodman called it "crisp as a Pringle." So crisp, in fact, that all three judges gave her a 10.
Jaleel White, just like Driver and Levy, had to waltz. Dressed in a curious colonial military uniform, White moved with reasonable fluency. But somehow this all seemed slightly insipid.
"I liked it enough not to be cruel," said Goodman. "But I didn't like it enough to be really kind." He felt there was no footwork. Inaba didn't like the handiwork.
Was this all? Goodness, no. This was the most watched TV show of last week. So they had to give us more. Yes, there would be team dances. The team captains were the two highest scorers of previous times by sex: Jenkins and Levy.
The coin toss was so tense that it was amazing punches weren't thrown. In Jenkins' team were Menounos, White and Fegan. Theirs was the tango. Hough and Ballas changed partners during rehearsals. Menounos sulked. Team Tango wore its tails on its sleeve, with high drama and more pouting than in the average boy band. As Ballas and Jenkins danced their solo, Ballas constantly opened his mouth wide as if he was desperate to sing, cry out or, perhaps, eat.
Fegan and Hightower were especially affecting, in a Mad Hatterish kind of way. This was truly one of the most entertaining dances of this or any other season. Even George Lopez liked it.
"Some of the lines were ugly," sniffed Goodman, who knows from ugly. Tonioli appreciated it a little more.
Levy, Driver and Gilbert, aka Team Paso, referred to the other team as "Team Diapers." Or at least Levy's partner Cheryl Burke did.
So what was this team's strategy? Why, it got the men all topless. Driver, Levy and Chmerkovskiy merely had suspenders covering their nipples, as they paraded like Chippendales. This was lacking in both originality and synchronization.
Tonioli, surprisingly, loved it - though he admitted they lost sync.
"Hot in the performance, cool in the execution," opined Goodman.
And so Classical Night came to a close. Mozart and Bach might have twitched in their graves a couple of times. Fortunately, Beethoven didn't hear a thing.
TOP TWO: Maria Menounos, Katherine Jenkins
BOTTOM TWO: Melissa Gilbert, Jaleel White

The proposed complex would be built at the northwest corner of Yale and 6th.
This block of land is a combination of a few homes and businesses, but it could soon become a 350-unit apartment complex, and the neighbors are upset.
When Andy Jones and his family moved into their dream home late last year, they never planned on moving out just six months later.
"Six weeks to two months after we moved, we got a call saying they wanted to build a five story apartment complex covering the entire block," Jones said.
He was told that developer Trammell Crow would put a 300-plus-unit apartment complex on this block. The only thing in the way: three homeowners.
"We didn't want to have an apartment complex all around us, so we sold," Jones said. "What are you going to do?"
With properties in hand, the developers asked for a variance so the project can move forward. When the signs went up four weeks ago, nearby homeowner Charles Harrison jumped into action.
"I understand the odds are against us, from our neighborhood standpoint, we don't want anything like what is being proposed," Harrison said.
Dozens of neighbors have gathered, building a website, talking about their traffic and congestion concerns and recruiting others to sign petitions. But the area's council member, Ellen Cohen, is realistic. She says stopping the complex is a long shot.
"City council is in no position to stop development," Cohen said. "We don't have zoning in Houston."
We have tried to call the developer a number of times, but our calls haven't been returned so far. All sides are expected to face off at a planning commission meeting Thursday.

Three big parties in little more than 24 hours? There are royal tours with lighter schedules. First the Celebrity Cookoff at Benihana, Sept. 10. (We gave you the poop on that one last week, remember?) Next day, a doubleheader. At noon it was Luncheon in Victoria`s Garden, in Victoria and Bob Williamson`s waterfront home in Fort Lauderdale, to stir up support for the Children`s Genetic Disease Foundation and its upcoming (Jan. 24) fund-raiser, Le Bal Grande. That evening, back to the Williamsons` for an elegant private black tie dinner party and dancing. Many folks, including the Williamsons, attended all three.
The luncheon, for which the Williamsons took the check, was exquisite. Valets took your car at the gate. Then you walked down a yellow brick road -- or rather a yellow mums road (500 pots of sunny mums lined the driveway!) toward the Williamson manse. A passel of violinists played for you (not just violinists -- almost a whole orchestra --
so-o-o romantic, dahling!) and cameras whirred. Your steps were being preserved on film for posterity. ``Wasn`t that something? I thought maybe they were expecting Sophia Loren,`` said Bobbe Schlesinger. ``At least I got past the camera before I lost my shoe on the steps,`` added Mary Jane Lytle, who had a little trouble with her footwear.
Inside the house, you had to gasp. Every room was a bower of plants and flowers. Every stick of first-floor furniture had been moved into the garage. (``Victoria now has the best-furnished garage in town,`` noted LaRetta Small, vice president of the CGDF.) The living room ceiling was draped like a pasha`s floaty white tent. The walls were covered with plants, floor-to- ceiling white wooden lattices and botanical murals. The bar was a blooming jungle of tropical flora (fruits, vines, flowers and greenery) and fauna (parrots and more parrots, climbing around the vines and chatting courteously with guests) and even a mountain range (crushed brown paper bags and spray paint) and two gently smoking faux volcanoes. (And it only took four days and a small army of workers to accomplish all this. Amazing.)

The 41st Paris Air Show opens in high style Sunday with 1,620 exhibitors from 40 countries, and the talk is likely to be the crisis in the aerospace and defense industries. Even the length of the biennial show has been trimmed, from 11 to 8 days, to save costs.
This gathering of aircraft makers, suppliers and government officials marks the return of the Americans after a high-profile boycott of the 1993 show over high costs and charges of French espionage. This time they are back in the hunt for export markets, and the United States will have 300 exhibitors, more than any other country.
On display, among other aircraft, will be Boeing's new passenger plane, the B777 twin-engine jet, and the NASA space agency's experimental reusable X-31 spacecraft.

Amanda Seyfried: I Loved 'N Sync!
Amanda Seyfried picks up a colorful flower arrangement on Saturday (September 10) in New York City's West Village.
The 25-year-old In Time actress was joined by her beloved dog, Finn.

Earlier in the week, Amanda's cover of W magazine with her co-star, Justin Timberlake, was released! Be sure to check out the spread if you missed it.
W's Lynn Hirschberg asked Amanda if she danced to 'N Sync songs at her prom.
"I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing. But it was embarrassing to be an 'N Sync fan in high school. I was into them in middle school. I definitely danced in my friend's basement for hours and hours to 'N Sync's first album," Amanda replied.

I thought this would be a funny thread. Things our DH's do that make us scratch our heads!
I have two:
1. He looses keys. He is seriously the worst person with keys. I told him I'm going to staple them to his head one of these days! haha We have 6 extra house keys I made…does that tell ya somethin'?!
2. Air conditioning. He likes to pretend he's an eskimo. Energy is expensive and especially in Las Vegas where it's effin 119 outside. I turn the air down to 74 at night so he will be comfortable. I ALWAYS wake up in the morning, freezing my ass off, with the air turned down to 69 or 70!! I'm like what the eff are you doing!?!!!! haha Oh and he has a thick ass blanket and all bundled up.

Do Dad's buy bridal shower gifts
[Deleted User] member
I have a question on gifting etiquette: does the father of the bride give a bridal shower gift if they are not attending the shower? I know at a couple shower's I went to the gift was "From Mom and Dad", but what if the parent's are separated? I've scoured the internet and cannot find an answer to this question, any advice is appreciated, thank you!
Re: Do Dad's buy bridal shower gifts
MobKaz Chicago suburbsIf the father of the bride is actually invited to a shower, and he attends, then I would think he would bring a gift. In your example, since the event was a couple's shower, it makes sense and stands to reason that the gift was given by both parents.
My husband was not invited to any of the showers for my DD or DIL. The gift card enclosure was signed by me. I'm fairly certain I did not include my husband's name.
Your answer also depends on the relationship between the separated parents in question. My brother and SIL have been divorced for 10 years. They will often still go in on gifts for birthdays, holidays, and weddings. It was obviously an extremely amicable divorce.
You probably won't find an answer on the internet because it is dependent on too many personal variables.
CMGragainI'm not certain that I understand your question. Are you asking if Dads send gifts to showers that they do not attend?
Traditionally, a bridal shower was a simple party attended by the brides female friends and relatives (who were also invited to the wedding of course!) They had coffee and dessert, and the bride opened her gifts as everybody watched and wished her well. No men were invited. It was a hen party. The gifts were modest - dish towels, pot holders, etc. Most brides needed these things.
These couples showers are a very new thing. They were unheard of when I was a bride. Also, showers seem to have gotten much larger and fancier, probably due to the bridal industry.
The only gifts that should be opened at a shower are the gifts brought by the shower attendees. Gifts from people not invited to the shower would fall under the wedding gift area. A couples marital status has nothing to do with anything. I don't understand what you are asking. Please clarify.
ILoveBeachMusic Indiana
If the dad is invited to the event, then yes. If not, typically no.
But anyone can give someone a gift at any time. If my parents had been separated at the time of my shower and my dad had given me a gift to "help me build my home" or whatever, I would have thought it was incredibly sweet.*********************************************************************************

As I type this post, I am looking out on softly falling snow and a monotone gray sky. The start of 2015 is chilly – temps were 11F with the windchill last night and 20F right now. New Yorkers do not love the cold, and I'd venture that 80% of us own puffy coats :). Once we have put up too many days back to back of nesting it in our small apartments, cabin fever descends and like magic, there is a happy flurry for me and my fellow restaurant owners of our patrons rejoining the land of the living.
January is the month for renewal, resolutions, & restarts aka excellence in gym attendance and diets both of the food varietal and the financial. As a small business owner, I am not a fan of January as 6 & 1/2 years in the restaurant industry have proven it is a countdown month. I am counting down the days until we are done with it. By February, peops are easing off of their new year's resolutions and favoring a wee bit more indulgence. As a pusher of sugar, alcohol and internationally inspired comfort food, indulgence is my preference year-round :).
My hubby G and I agreed that the arctic temps are really a blessing. We can combat the deep freeze, and we know how to warm up our patrons. We make an outrageoulsy delish mulled wine. Our Irish coffee and Irish hot chocolate are made with the absurdly decadent Chocovine, a chocolate red wine from Holland. Our spiked spiced cider is OFF THE HOOK yummy. As we already have our expectations properly managed and are cozied up with our warm boozy mugs, we are happy as clams to get bad weather and fiscal & food diets out of the way in one fell swoop in the first month of the 2015. In other words, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Let's dump buckets of Frosty the snowman this month!

MANILA — A document found in the presidential palace lists a $60,000 emerald necklace that Imelda Marcos, wife of Ferdinand E. Marcos, supposedly presented to Nancy Reagan.
In Washington, Elaine Crispin, the press spokesman for Mrs. Reagan, said no such gift had been received. She said she had checked with Mrs. Reagan and with the White House gift unit, to which such an item would have been presented. Crispin said that the unit had no record of such a necklace and that it had not been found.
The Philippine palace document, now in the possession of a commission seeking to recover the Marcoses` wealth, does not specify when the gift was made. An accompanying handwritten note to Mrs. Marcos`s secretary is dated Aug. 2, 1985.
The reported gift to Mrs. Reagan is among items totaling $265,000 that the covering letter says were to be charged to the 1982 wedding of the Marcoses` younger daughter, Irene, and Gregorio Araneta. It is unclear why the gifts were presented three years later.
The typewritten paper lists an item described as a ``tube emerald necklace given to Mrs. Reagan -- $60,000.`` Other items included $100,000 for a present from Marcos to his wife. There is also an entry for a $32,000 diamond rosary that the Marcoses gave to their daughter as a wedding present, and Araneta a $9,000 cuff link set.
The covering note is signed Vilma, which a member of the commission suggested could be Vilma Bautista, a former staff member of the Philippine Consulate in New York who acted on behalf of Mrs. Marcos.
According to the commission member, the money for the gifts was ultimately paid out by the Philippine National Bank for the Marcoses.
The list of gifts is among 34 boxes of material the commission is slowly sorting through.
