Any Mustang guy will tell you that Bullitt is the greatest Mustang movie of all time. Dodge guys love Vanishing Point. Street-rodders all know American Graffiti backwards and forwards. There isn't a Porsche guy on earth who hasn't sat through Steve McQueen's Le Mans without imagining himself behind the wheel of 917. Heck, AMC Pacer fans flock to Wayne's World. But there's never really been a great Corvette movie.
Oh, there have been Corvettes in movies, but counting cars parked in the background is a cheat. There's even been one movie that was actually about a Corvette and had the word "Corvette" in its title, but calling 1978's Corvette Summer a great movie is an irrational stretch. Corvettes have been used as hero cars, as the cars of villains, as props for mayhem, and as objects of desire and envy in movies, but there has never been that one film that fixes in the public's collective mind the essence of the Corvette's personality.
Why is this so? While there's some real heft behind a couple of conspiracy theories, the truth is that cars are cast in films in about the same way that actors are: They get into the movie only if they fill the role correctly. It's hard to root for a hero who has all the advantages, and if a hero has a Corvette ... well, it's pretty obvious that things have already been going his way in life. That's why-though on occasion heroes drive a Corvette-it's more common for the heavy (who the hero will eventually overcome and vanquish) to own the sleek two-seater. Plus there's the simple fact that often a story requires three people to ride in a car (and this is a bigger factor than it might at first seem).
So in the name of our enlightened readers, herewith we dole out 10 carefully considered (and nowhere near comprehensive) awards for various appearances by Corvettes in film (television not included). No burnouts on the red carpet, please.
Dorian Gray Award for Best Reflection of Decrepitude
Boogie Nights (1997)
When porn star Dirk Diggler buys his orange '77 C3, it's new and it's pristine. But as time goes by and he becomes more debauched and more desperate, the car spirals downward with him. By the end of the film, he's a wreck and so is the car.
Pamela Anderson Award for Startling Over-Inflation
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
According to Josh Hancock, automotive consultant on all of the Austin Powers movies, the red, white, and blue '65 roadster driven by "Felicity Shagwell" wasn't anything special. "It was just a nonmatching small-block car that wasn't in particularly good shape," he recalls. "It couldn't have been worth much more than, oh, at most 15 grand." Except, of course, that it had been in a movie.
But dang if someone didn't think that being in a movie mattered. In an online auction run by New Line Cinema, the studio that released the film the summer of 1999, the car was sold for an unfathomable $121,000. Did actress Heather Graham leave a particularly adorable dent in the seat? For that kind of money, her butt should still have been in it.
Best Tiny Corvette In A Chase Scene
The Dead Pool (1988)
As the fifth movie in Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry series, The Dead Pool came out when most of the good ideas had already been played out and the weariness was obvious. But there was one amazing exception in the form of a chase through the streets of San Francisco between Harry and his partner in an Oldsmobile sedan (remember when they made those?) and a radio-controlled, scale-model mid-year Stingray carrying an explosive charge.
The scene plays as a sly parody of the classic chase in Bullitt, but also works on its own at being both suspenseful and unique. Too bad the rest of the movie is such a disappointment.
Best Flight
Con Air (1997)
In what's probably the single most improbable series of events ever depicted in a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced film (and his films are nothing but improbable series of events), DEA Agent Duncan Malloy (Colm Meaney) watches his '67 Elkhart Blue roadster being dragged into the sky behind a C-123 cargo plane. It's not a perfect sequence (a lot of the computer-graphics work looks like, well, computer graphics), but for sheer audacity combined with over-the-top ludicrousness, it may be one of the most memorable scenes in Corvette filmic history.
Bonus points if you notice the early C4 that gets smushed in the finale by the same C-123. Don't cheat on the scoring! The only person you hurt is yourself.
Best Corvette Unrecognizable As A Corvette
Live And Let Die (1973)
The first James Bond movie featuring Roger Moore is filled with Chevrolets, and much of the stunt driving was actually done by the Chevy-sponsored Joie Chitwood thrill-show team. At first glance, the most memorable car in the film, however, appears to be a white Cadillac Eldorado dripping in such excessive ornamentation that it should just sink though the Manhattan Island. But it's not really an Eldorado at all.
In fact, the white pimpmobile, with its deadly dart-shooting sideview mirror, is a "Corvorado" which is a C3 under a crust of fiberglass molded to look like an Eldorado's fenders. The Corvorado was (and presumably still is) the product of Dunham Coach of Boonton, New Jersey. The Corvette origins of the car are most obvious in interior shots.

Japan's Suppression of Chongryon Denounced in Germany
| Pyongyang, April 15 (KCNA) -- The Communist Party and the Anti-Imperialist Forum of Germany bitterly denounced the Japanese authorities for suppressing the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) on April 3 and 4.
The communist party sent a letter of protest to the Japanese embassy in Berlin.
The letter said:
We resolutely oppose the Japanese authorities' suppression of Chongryon.
Chongryon is a dignified overseas citizens' organization of the DPRK protecting the legitimate rights of the Koreans in Japan.
The Japanese authorities' suppression of Chongryon is a wanton violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK.
Recognizing that the Japanese authorities' moves to seize the Korean Hall of Chongryon are a violation of international law, we demand an immediate stop to the moves.
The anti-imperialist forum said in its statement:
The Korean Hall of Chongryon has played the role for DPRK-Japan friendship and peace in Northeast Asia by performing the duty of a diplomatic mission of the DPRK in the absence of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
We bitterly denounce the Japanese authorities' moves to seize the Korean Hall, wanton violation of the dignity and legitimate rights of the Koreans in Japan and human rights abuses.
We urge the Japanese authorities to revoke at once the decision to allow the sale of the Korean Hall of Chongryon.

Water-Reuse–Specific Epidemiological Information
NRC (1998) provided a comprehensive review of six toxicological and epidemiological studies of reuse systems. The epidemiological study findings from potable reuse applications are briefly summarized in this box. The results from several toxicology studies are summarized in Box 6-2.
Windhoek, Namibia, is the first city to have implemented potable reuse without the use of an environmental buffer (sometimes called direct potable reuse; see Box 2-12). It has been doing so since 1968, especially during drought conditions, and the plant provides up to 35 percent of the potable water supply during normal periods. Epidemiological evaluations of the population have found no relationships between drinking water source and diarrheal disease, jaundice, or mortality (Isaacson et al., 1987; Isaacson and Sayed, 1988).
Three sets of studies have been conducted for the Montebello Forebay Project in Los Angeles County, California: (1) a 1984 Health Effects Study, which evaluated mortality, morbidity, cancer incidence, and birth outcomes for the period 1962–1980; (2) a 1996 RAND study, which evaluated mortality, morbidity, and cancer incidence for the period 1987–1991; and (3) a 1999 RAND study, which evaluated adverse birth outcomes for the period 1982–1993, The first studies looked at two time periods (1969–1980 and 1987–1991) and characterized census tracts into four or five categories by 30-year average percentage of reclaimed water in the water supply. The annual maximum percentage of reclaimed water ranged from less than 4 percent to between 20 and 31 percent. The studies included 21 and 28 health outcome measures, respectively, including health outcomes related to cancer, mortality, and infectious disease incidence. Although some outcomes were more prevalent in the census tracts with a higher percentage of reclaimed water in the water supply, neither study observed consistently higher rate patterns or dose-response relationships (Frerichs et al., 1982; Frerichs, 1984; Sloss et al., 1996). Sloss et al. (1996) identified reclaimed water use and control areas so that comparisons could be made. Compared with the control areas, reclaimed water use areas had some statistically higher as well as lower rates of disease. After evaluating the overall patterns of disease, the authors concluded that the study results did not support the hypothesis of a causal relationship between reclaimed water and cancer, mortality, or infectious disease. Although assessment of a dose-response relationship was possible in the study design, none was identified for the excesses of disease seen.
Since the NRC (1998) report, there have been only a few additional epidemiological studies of human health impacts of wastewater reuse. The largest and most comprehensive study was the third continuation of the Montebello Forebay study (Sloss et al., 1999). Sloss et al. (1999) included a health assessment utilizing administrative health data from 1987–1991 and birth outcomes from 1982–1993. They found some differences between study groups but saw no pattern and concluded that the rates of adverse birth events were similar between the control group and the region receiving reclaimed water.
The most recent study (Sinclair et al., 2010) compared the health status of residents in two housing developments: one with dual plumbing to support nonpotable reuse and a nearby development using a conventional water supply. The study assessed the rates that residents consulted with primary care physicians for gastroenteritis, respiratory complaints, and dermatological complaints (conditions that could be related to reclaimed water exposure) as well as two conditions unrelated to water reuse or waterborne disease exposure. Sinclair et al. (2010) reported no differences in consultation rates between the two groups. There were slight differences in the ratios of specific consultations (i.e., dermal versus respiratory), but the seasonal reporting patterns did not match the timing of reclaimed water exposure.
Population-based studies, also called ecological studies, such as these face significant challenges such as short study periods for chronic disease outcomes, changing exposures over time, nonspecific disease outcomes with unknown attributable risks, and the inability to know actual water consumption rates. Their use for quantitative risk assessment is extremely limited. Such studies simply cannot have the statistical power to achieve detection of the risk expectations established in public water supply regulatory standards such as 10–5 or 10–6 lifetime cancer risk. Population-based studies are probably best viewed as "scoping" or hypothesis-forming exercises. They cannot prove that there is no adverse effect from the reuse of water in these areas (indeed no study can do so), but they can suggest an upper bound on the extent of the impact if one did exist.
Two alternative study approaches could be considered for assessing the effects of reclaimed water on public health. Blinded-design household intervention studies could be used in which all households in the study receive point of use (POU) "treatment devices," although the control group receives sham devices, and the occurrence of acute gastroenteritis illness is tracked. Most health concerns related to chemical exposures are chronic diseases that may take years to appear. To avoid the need for long observation periods, the household intervention approach could use human tissue chemical biomarkers rather than disease occurrences. Another methodology that is more passive but holds promise for assessing the health impacts of reclaimed water consumption is the "opportunistic natural experiment," epidemiologically characterized as a community intervention study. These studies assess the incidence of acute gastrointestinal illness before and after scheduled changes in water sources or treatment processes. An example of such a study is a 1984–1987 Colorado Springs study of water reuse for public park irrigation. Three different sources of water (potable, nonpotable water of wastewater origin, and nonpotable water of runoff origin) were used to irrigate municipal parks, and randomly selected park users were surveyed for the occurrence of gastrointestinal disease. Wet grass conditions and elevated densities of indicator bacteria, but not exposure to nonpotable irrigation water per se, were associated with an increased rate of gastrointestinal illness. Increased levels of disease and symptoms were observed when several different bacterial indicators exceeded 500/100 mL. These levels occurred most commonly with the nonpotable water of runoff origin (Durand and Schwebach, 1989). A well-designed case control study can also be used in select populations. Such studies in the context of ordinary potable water have been conducted by a number of authors (Payment et al., 1997; Aragón et al., 2003; Colford et al., 2005).

Sarva is presently working in three slum leprosy colonies, where a variety of WELFARE PROJECTS have been undertaken.
These include assistance in the building of a wall, 1,400-feet in length, that has now enabled the community to grow their own vegetables and thereby establish a new level of self-sufficiency, which had until now been impossible for them. They are now producing so much crop – onions, tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, ginger, chillies, pumpkin, aubergine, chickpeas, lentils, carrots, radish, spinach, loofah, papaya and basil – that they have not only improved their health through better nutrition, but are beginning to sell the surplus to increase their communal income. Sarva has recently added to their potential yield with the provision of a seed stock that will produce an even wider range of vegetables next season.
This new confidence has inspired this colony to begin to explore projects for themselves. This year, for example, they sold scrap metal they had collected, pooled the money and built two little one-room houses, which they now let to other slum residents in order to produce a communal income.
Sarva maintains a Medical Fund that ensures a slum leprosy colony has access to all the basic medicines and dressings they require. This gives them independence from the slum mafia's abominable and abusive 'protection racket', which has long controlled and limited their access to proper medical attention.
Sarva has provided clean water through a deep-bore well for another leprosy colony. This functions at the push of a button, rather than the heavy pump handles, which many people affected by leprosy are unable to work due to the loss of the use of their hands. This damage is a result of the way in which the disease initially kills the peripheral nerves in the body, anaesthetising the extremities, and thus leading to injury and chronic infection.
The support has been secured of two members of state government, who have personally undertaken to apply for a grant directly from Delhi to assist in improving the lives of those with whom Sarva works. The interest of these officials in Sarva's projects and their subsequent dogged persistence has now seen the release of funding to finally provide not only a sewage system and electricity to three long-neglected leprosy colonies, but also their first school.
Sarva has repaid the out-standing loans of a hard-working widowed mother of five, enabling her to bring them all home from the local 'orphanage'. In addition, funding has been provided for the education of her two sons and three daughters.
Through the generosity of a supporter, in memory of her late parents, Sarva has been able to provide one leprosy colony with good quality blankets. The winter winds are chilling and nights bitter, so this donation has not only provided rare comfort to these neglected and abused people, but also protection against seasonal infections to which they are most vulnerable.
Sarva has funded the cataract operation of a local carpenter, which has fully restored his sight, enabling him to once again support his young and greatly impoverished family.
What your money will buy:
£376 an electric, deep-bore well to provide clean water
£100 35 cotton mattresses for children in a leprosy hostel
£60 a sight-saving eye operation
£15 one month's food supply for a family of four
£1.10 three month's basic medical supplies for a sufferer of leprosy

It looks like the end of poor Flappy is near, as Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen doesn't seem to like the attention. After Nguyen's pleads of "please give me peace" and details about how "it ruins [his] simple life," the developer has promised that he will be removing the app tomorrow, Feb. 9, 2014.
Here's a look at the peculiar series of tweets that included Nguyen's announcement:
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
I also don't sell 'Flappy Bird', please don't ask.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
And I still make games.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
Maybe the Flappy Bird creator cannot deal with the publicity, but with any sudden unexplainable announcement like this, many assumptions are sure to surface. Although he has stated that the removal is not for legal purposes, we can't help but to think that there must be underlying reasons for this strange activity.
What makes this even more shocking is the fact that the game was updated one day prior to this announcement. There's also the question of why Nguyen would rather pull the app than sell it or at least leave it in the App Store for the time being. Perhaps he's not interested in working on the game anymore, but the event of Flappy Bird's removal is sure to confuse and frustrate many iOS users.
With that said, if you have been thinking about downloading Flappy Bird for free, do it now while you have the chance. It is still available in the App Store for free.
Although the removal of Flappy Bird is unfortunate, at least those tweets about it are sure to die sooner than later.

Update: As of 12 p.m. EST on Feb. 9, the app is, in fact, no longer available.

All of my birthdays have always been about stuff. Stuff I don't want, stuff I definitely don't need.
So this year, I'm giving my birthday up.
Dec. 4th, I'm turning 32 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $32 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.
A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.
My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.
Please join me. http://eesley.blogspot.com/2010/11/water.html
please note: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.

Eli Lilly spends the most of the top 20 drugmakers, as a percentage of revenue, on R&D. Unfortunately, R&D output is not necessarily correlated with what you spend, showed a study funded by the Midwest company which was cited by the Sanford Bernstein analyst Tim Anderson. Anderson predicts a bolt-on acquisition. But Lilly's pipeline is slowly improving. After its GLP-1 partnership with Amylin dissolved late last year, dulaglutide moved to the forefront as its lead GLP-1 candidate, and Lilly is aiming for a 2013 filing. Somewhat of a longshot is Alzheimer's candidate solanezumab, which passed an interim safety analysis in January. Recent launch Tradjenta was the third DPP-IV to market and has diabetes giant Januvia to contend with. Patent expirations loom on two megablockbusters—CNS drug Cymbalta and diabetes med Humalog.

Portrait in Sepiaby Isabel Allende

Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
"Each of us chooses the tone for telling his or her own story; I would like to choose the durable clarity of a platinum print, but nothing in my destiny possesses that luminosity. I live among diffuse shadings, veiled mysteries, uncertainties; the tone for telling my life is closer to that of a portrait in sepia," explains Aurora del Valle, narrator of Isabel Allende's sequel to her bestselling Daughter of Fortune. Portrait in Sepia sees Allende in brilliant form. Her lush language and her juxtaposition of love and loss with the turbulent Chilean landscape will have Allende fans recalling The House of the Spirits, the mesmerizing debut novel in which the del Valle family is first introduced. Portrait traces Aurora's life and her battle with the nightmares she has experienced since childhood. Only after her husband's brutal betrayal does Aurora set out to discover the reasons for her nightmares, and in doing so unravels dark family secrets and painful self-realizations. Allende masterfully applies an epic scale to her intricate narrative and intense emotional characterizations. Portrait in Sepia seduces, beguiles and leaves readers panting for more. Veronica, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
Internationally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende has written a magnificent historical novel set at the end of the nineteenth century in Chile — a marvelous family saga that takes up and continues the story begun in her highly acclaimed Daughter of Fortune.
Recounted in the voice of a young woman in search of her roots, Portrait in Sepia is a novel about memory and family secrets. Aurora del Valle suffers a brutal trauma that shapes her character and erases from her mind all recollection of the first five years of her life. Raised by her ambitious grandmother, the regal and commanding Paulina del Valle, Aurora grows up in a privileged environment, free of the limitations that circumscribe the lives of women at that time, but tormented by horrible nightmares. When she is forced to recognize her betrayal at the hands of the man she loves, and to cope with the resulting solitude, she decides to explore the mystery of her past.
Portrait in Sepia is an extraordinary achievement: richly detailed, epic in scope, intimate in its probing of human character, and thrilling in the way it illuminates the complexity of family ties.
"Portrait in Sepia is the best book Allende has published in the United States since her splendid first novel of nearly two decades ago, The House of the Spirits. Like much of her previous work, it can be called a romance, and perhaps will be welcomed by her many loyal readers as precisely that, but if it is a romance it is also tough-minded, uncompromising and not a little bloody....Portrait in Sepia is both an intimate examination of the inner lives of a woman and her family and a large canvas across which many people parade and on which momentous events are played out. Its romantic elements — which are to be found in its language as well as its sentiments — are counterbalanced by its shrewd, uncompromising view of those people and events." Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World
"Rich and complex....Allende exercises her supreme storytelling abilities....Allende attacks her subject with gusto, making this a grand installment in an already impressive repertoire." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This is a sequel to the author's best-selling and critically applauded Daughter of Fortune, but it falls a little short of attaining that novel's artistry and accessibility. But no book by Allende is anything less than enjoyable....Although the plot is not as compelling as in the previous novel, Portrait in Sepia is still an atmospheric, character-rich historical yarn." Booklist
"Much woe follows the birth of little Aurora, including the death of her mother and her mysterious kidnapping when she is only a few years old, and plenty of intrigue awaits her in Chile. The result is a polished, charming, if somewhat soap operaish tale that will please Allende fans." Library Journal

Nice to have all of you along.
One of the many impressive things he has done was at 68 he took his bicycle by train to Olympia, WA (I think that's where he got off the train) and rode it down the coast to just N. of Los Angeles. Basically going the legnth of the United States by bicycle and just cutting out the super congested areas of Seattle and LA.
My hope for everyone is to still be able to do the things that Barry does at 77 because he can run circle around men half his age. Oh yeah, I keep waiting for him to lose some of his mental sharpness too so I can get one over on him once in a while but that isn't happening either.

It was either during breakfast or our fuel stop when we all looked at each other and realized all the young riders had bowed out of the ride and all that was left was the AARP crowd. The "Leave em for Dead Tour ~ Baja Style" was changed to "AARP Gone Wild ~ Baja Style". Much more fitting.
Our first Pemex fill up and ADV parking at its finest. While all of us, other than Lee, have owned and ridden Harleys we apparently didnt learn the Harley way of parking in an organized fashion.
Lets go shopping.
Bruce bought a bottle of tequila then was getting fresh with Becky and shes giving him the thumbs up.
(Truth is; with her helmet on she couldnt see what he was doing and had no idea )
As you can see we werent in a big hurry about anything. We were having fun at a relaxing pace and enjoying lots of laughs.
We were moving again and headed South out of town through the residential area.
Pretty fence and gate.
I dont know what the sign says. Maybe The Juanes Place?
Maybe a motorcycle mechanic, welder, or both.
Dont know why we stopped here but Im sure it was something important. Wheres Bruce and Barry? Probably not stopping for whatever that important thing was.
Here kitty, kitty.
Be nice to the critters and dont leave your trash in their home.
Were headed into Parque Nacional Constitucion and Luguna Hanson.
Time to check tire pressure and let a little air out if need be.
And me
We werent getting very far very fast but we were achieving our goal.
The ladies needed to visit the Mexican Rest Area so the men rode on ahead.
Hey Bruce, wait for Barry hes not on his bike yet
..ah never mind Im sure he wont have any problem catching up.
Gotta tell you digging a cat hole out here in the sand is one heck of a lot easier than in the Pacific Northwests Forests.
Watch where you squat.
Rest area visited and we were ready to go.
Lets see how long it is before we meet up with the guys again.
I wasnt seeing Lee and Becky in my rear view mirror for a while so I decided I better stop and wait. I dont ride fast so they must have stopped for something, maybe a cool picture I missed or something.
I like the way the road is lined with trees and foliage. The roads in the NW are often lined with trees and foliage but when that happens in the NW you dont see much other than that green stuff. Here the road is lined but you get to see all the other things too. I like the variety.
OK here comes Becky and Lee. I think it was a luggage check or malfunction. All was good.
There are some cool rocky mountains out there.
It was a little wash boardy but all in all not bad.
We found Barry stopped. He hadnt seen Bruce in a while and was concerned about where he was. Id spotted him out of the corner of my eye a ways back. Hed stopped at a Mexican Rest Area. Here he comes.
All of us were back together again and Barry is mis-behaving. Lee, always keep an eye out for what Barry and Bruce are up to when you are taking pictures. If given a chance Bruce will do an ADV salute and Barry, well Barry is just a tad mischievous always.
Looks like there is luxury camping and services out here.
And even fuel. We didnt go check it out but it might be worthwhile.
This one is better. Bruce is using all his fingers in his wave and even Barry is behaving himself.
Lets ride
Nice, this road was interesting.
Then around this corner
The road dipped down into a gully then climbed back out ..

Sure wouldnt want to leave Bruce hanging on that cliff so Ill finish the gully story.
All was going well then I saw a steep hill but it was paved and the only pavement we had seen since we left La Rumorosa. I knew I needed to give it a little more throttle to climb the hill and as I started to speed up I saw Bruce and Barry walk up to the crest of the hill. My first reaction was thinking something was up there and they didnt want us to come up so I started to stop and put my feet down. Just then they made it clear they wanted us to come up. I gave the bike some gas to climb the hill but I was in deep sand and instead of going straight up the hill the bike went out of control and rapidly to the right and into a rock.
Becky went on up the hill with no problem meanwhile Bruce and Barry came flying down the hill to help me. For two old farts those men sure move rapidly when they think someone is in trouble. Lee, got her bike parked and rapidly came over to check on me. Yes, I was OK - - - scared, embarrassed, frustrated but OK.
Heres Barry, Bruce and Lee pulling my bike out of the ditch. I was behind that rock still trying to get myself out of there.
Barry took my bike and told me to walk up the hill and away went my bike with him on it and up the hill with no problem. I guess I was still a bit dazed since I didnt get a picture of him riding the Superbug up the hill.
Becky got pictures of Lee going up the hill. Lee didnt have any problems with the sandy spot.
Or with climbing the hill.
At the top of the hill
I think Barry was explaining all the ways I messed up.
My screw up gave others a chance to look around and check out the cool rocks.
I think this says no littering.
And near that sign an empty bottle of vitamins and an unopened condom. I guess the vitamins didnt work.
After we were up the hill Barry realized he hadnt gotten any pictures of my bike and the rock so he wanted me to go back down and pose with the rock. OK fine ..
Barrys lens seems to have a bit of dust on it.
It all looks innocent enough I shouldnt have had a problem.
Theres half of the Superbugs reflector up on the rock. I took it with me, I didnt want to litter.
The Superbugs front fender sure has taken a beating and there were other new scratches on the bike as well.
With that little adventure done we were riding again.
A nice ranch out there.
This was a lot prettier than it came out in the picture. Apparently my camera lens was a little dusty too. That tree was bright gold and glimmered in the sunshine.
A corner of Laguna Hanson. It was getting late and we didn't have time to go explore.
Resort area
Just as I thought things were going well.
Lee got going ahead of me and Becky was behind me. I was having a hard time getting going in the sand and was duck walking when we saw Lee face down in the sand not moving. I motioned Becky to go on around me. Becky got to her and ask if she was OK she then lifted her head and was moving and Becky was lifting the bike off her. I snapped a quick picture but then when I asked if she was OK and she said she didnt know picture time was over.
Once the bike was up and so was Lee she confirmed she was OK. Barry and Bruce were ahead of us and had no idea of what was going on. She had moved over to the side to let a vehicle pass and when she tried to move back over the bike decided to take a nap instead.
The section of sand wasnt very long and we were back to fun riding.
And the views were quite nice.
We would be back on pavement soon.
The highway could be seen off in the distance if you looked real hard as you rode through here.
I dont know about the rest of the group but I was ready for a break and the highway was a welcome sight. I didnt get a picture and neither did anyone else but just before the highway there was a short section of deep silt. I didnt take any chances and duck walked it. I didnt want to hit the ground again.
Break time.
There sure is a variety of things to look at.
We were headed for Valle De La Trinidad.
I think we are dropping into Heroes De La Independencia here.
We managed to get to Valle De La Trinidad just about the time it was getting dark. Barry asked at the Pemex Station where we could find a motel and discovered there was one right around the corner. We got checked in and Bruce, Barry, Lee and I walked down the street for dinner. Becky wanted to stay in her room and fix her own dinner.
Dinner time
They arent able to sell alcohol in the resturant but they said we could go across the street, buy beer and bring it in. So thats what was done and Barry turned in to a two fisted drinker I never thought I would see that day. Those are either tiny bottles or he has big hands.
Dinner was great but the coffee not so much. If there is a jar of Nescafe on the table don't order coffee. I made that mistake a few times.
There was a man at the restaurant that was very nice and helpful. He was translating so we could communicate with the cook/waiter. A bracket on Lees side rack had broken and a welder for the next day would be very helpful. Lee and Barry were talking to the man and asked him if there was a welder in town. He gave them directions then said he would be at the restaurant in the morning and he would be happy to go to the welder with them to translate. He specified he didnt want any money for this he wanted to do this for a friend. Very, very nice.
We walked back to the motel and it was time for a surprise for Barry. It was his birthday and that morning he was trying to get us to wish him a happy birthday with a "happy birthday to you" sing alone. We chuckled at him and basically ignored his birthday. He was spoiling our plan with bringing it up, we had other plans for him.
Barry, Lee, Bruce and I were in the guy's room after dinner. I needed to leave to go get Becky and his surprises. I told them I was going to go get my map. Before I left Spokane I bought a box of Zingers for Barrys birthday "cake" and they had been hanging out in my tail bag. At the Spokane Airport Becky bought a t-shirt that was perfect for Barry and now it was time for his birthday party. It was his 77th birthday so I turned three zingers into a 77 and put candles in them. I didn't have a plate but the box of Zingers worked great for a cake plate.
Incredibly bad pictures but its the best I have. Barry was surprised when he was presented with his birthday cake and we sang happy birthday to him.
The writing on his new t-shirt said: "To save time lets just assume Im never wrong". Oh yes, so Barry.
I really wish I would have gotten better pictures of the birthday fun but since I didnt Ill just have to keep it in my memory.
Lee hanging out enjoying the entertainment.
Ill be back tomorrow and start day 3.

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
SOURCE: "Three Women's Texts and a Critique of Imperialism" in Critical Inquiry, Vol. 12, No. 1, Autumn, 1985, pp. 243-61.
In the following essay, Spivak examines Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea, and Frankenstein to reveal the manner in which imperialist ideology structures the expression of nineteenth-century feminist individualism.
It should not be possible to read nineteenth-century British literature without remembering that imperialism, understood as England's social mission, was a crucial part of the cultural representation of England to the English. The role of literature in the production of cultural representation should not be ignored. These two obvious "facts" continue to be disregarded in the reading of nineteenth-century British literature. This itself attests to the continuing success of the imperialist project, displaced and dispersed into more modern forms.
If these "facts" were remembered, not only in the study of British literature but in the study of the literatures...

IOWA CITY, Iowa - New numbers from the New York Federal Reserve paint a grim picture for college students hoping to graduate without debt.
A study finds 13 percent of recent college graduates owe $50 thousand. 17 percent of graduates are at least 90 days behind on loan payments, according to the study.
The numbers suggest families aren't preparing enough for college and students are falling deeper in debt.
At the University of Iowa 41 percent of students graduated without any debt in 2012. A statistic better than the state average of 28 percent and national average of 34 percent from the previous year.
"The fact that 41 percent of our students are leaving here without debt compares very favorably," said Mark Warner, UI director of financial aid.

Russian space chiefs shaken by graft probe
Russia's cash-strapped space industry appeared headed for a new shakedown on Friday after a top police official warned about a growing embezzlement probe against its management.
Russia's cash-strapped space industry appeared headed for a new shakedown on Friday after a top police official warned about a growing embezzlement probe against its management.
It seems that Russia's defence ministry has little faith in Google's operating systems: it has just unveiled its own encrypted version that has the remarkably familiar feel of an Android.
Russia on Monday successfully launched a satellite for its Glonass global navigation system from its Plesetsk cosmodrome, the country's space agency said.
The secret is out and making Russia proud: pop culture and geek tech icon Apple has picked Russia's Glonass navigation system to run alongside GPS in its iPhone 4S models that hit stores this month.
Following is a snapshot of Europe's Galileo space-based navigation system, the first satellites of which are scheduled to be launched on Thursday from Kourou, French Guiana.
A Russian Soyuz rocket successfully carried six US Globalstar satellites into orbit on Wednesday after postponing the launch twice earlier this week, Russia's space agency said.
Russia on Saturday successfully launched a satellite vital to the deployment of its own navigation system after the failure of an earlier attempt prompted the Kremlin to sack two top space officials.
The costly launch failure that caused Russia to delay the deployment of its own satellite system was the result of a fuel miscalculation, a commission charged with probing the accident said Friday.
A programming error may have caused a rocket carrying three Russian navigation satellites to fail to reach orbit, a Russian space agency source told the RIA Novosti news agency on Monday. ...
Three Russian navigation satellites crashed into the Pacific off the US state of Hawaii Sunday after the rocket carrying them failed to reach orbit, officials from the Russian space agency said.
A top European official slapped down reports on Tuesday that the much-delayed Galileo satellite navigation system could be 20 billion euros over budget, as he named a new contractor for the project.

Public Comment for SMP Closes July 25, 2011
We believe that property owners have a Constitutionally protected right to use and enjoy their property in a responsible way. That includes the right to a reasonable amount of water for homes and food production. We will not quietly tolerate any taking of those rights in the absence of an empirical showing of significant harm, and we will aggressively pursue regaining those rights that have been abridged.
Representing the regulated community, we participate in processes where land and water use polices are set, provide technical assistance to landowners, and engage in litigation where necessary. We work to maintain a healthy environment with voluntary stewardship of our natural resources as the best alternative to overly prescriptive regulation.
We know that you are fully capable of providing the best protection of our lands for today and the future. Working together, we are developing and implementing the stewardship that puts effective conservation on the ground. Come and join us in our efforts and make them your own, then return to our site frequently for news on the issues and our activities. The resources you find here will help keep you informed about local and regional land and water use regulations and our stewardship efforts.

Rainwater or snowmelt from roofs, lawns, roadways, pavements and construction sites enters our river system carrying sediment, debris and pollutants straight into our rivers. This not only pollutes our waterways but affects the health of our streams, rivers and the land surrounding them and the health of the wildlife and fish that rely on them.
In 2005, a water quality study found that 90% of sediment – also called Total Suspended Solids (TSS) - that entered the Bow River from Calgary was from the stormwater system; 75% to 80% of the stormwater outfall system has no treatment facilities which allowed untreated water to enter directly into our waterways.
To put this in perspective, stormwater contributes approximately ten times more TSS to rivers than the outflow from our wastewater treatment plants. High levels of TSS often mean higher concentrations of bacteria, nutrients, pesticides and metals in our waterways. Learn more in our Stormwater Fact Sheet.
To protect the quality of water in our rivers and streams and to conserve our long-term water supply, The City developed the Stormwater Management Strategy. One of the main goals of the Strategy is to reduce sediment entering the Bow and Elbow Rivers from our stormwater system to 2005 levels by 2015, despite the continued growth of our city. This strategy includes constructing stormwater quality retrofit (SWQR) facilities such as wet ponds or constructed wetlands within existing developed areas across the city. Like many such facilities in newer communities, they will improve the quality of water entering our rivers by removing solids through sedimentation.
The City has established an annual budget for the design and construction of stormwater quality retrofit projects. Several projects are completed and more are currently in the design stage. Progress is being made but efforts need to continue to produce long-term beneficial results.
Read the Stormwater Management Strategy Report for more information on what The City is doing to reduce total suspended solids levels in our rivers and what you can do to help. The success of our Strategy is dependent on everyone's participation – including yours.

The Legatum Prosperity Ladder is a simple framework illustrating how we allocate financial, intellectual and human capital in order to promote prosperity.
At Legatum we apply our global investment experience to
allocate capital where it may deliver the highest returns, whether measured in
financial terms or in positive life change. By actively seeking opportunities
that emerge during times of transition, we direct resources where they will be
productively employed – from the developed global markets where public capital
is readily available at low cost, to the billions of people at the bottom
of the pyramid who have extremely limited access to capital.
Applying proven, common-sense ideas, we learn from our
real world experience and the insights generated from the activities of the
Legatum Institute, the Legatum Prosperity Index™, and the Legatum Center at
MIT. In cases where standardised metrics are not available - particularly in
determining social impact - we develop new measures to evaluate performance and
ensure accountability.

Happy September to you and your family! Isn't this year just flying by? Summer is leaving just as quickly as it came, and we suddenly find ourselves preparing for another gorgeous fall.
To kick off this autumn season, we're offering $99 off per window through the entire month of September. Get ready for the fall before the cool front comes in and into your home. Schedule your free consultation from Long Windows. You'll receive a full estimate on the project you want to do for your home, and there's no obligation at all.
Call us at 866-464-0300 and mention "$99 OFF" to set up your free consultation today. This is an exclusive offer and applies to window purchases through September 30, 2013.
Top 3 reasons to replace your windows
1. Increase energy efficiency. Whether you have your original windows or had them replaced years ago, most homes still have single-pane windows which leak energy, causing you to constantly have to crank up your HVAC unit. New windows with high levels of energy efficiency (take the R-value and U-factor into consideration) will help decrease your energy bills and keep temperatures more even throughout your home.
2. Beautify your home. Newer doesn't always mean more beautiful, but with sparkling new windows, beauty is inevitable. Like fresh new siding, brand new windows will give your home a facelift and make it look "like new" again. You can also choose new windows that allow more light into your home, creating more beauty and light on the inside as well.
3. Feel safe and secure. New windows will also help you keep your family safe and secure, with updated locking systems. Steel locks can be recessed into the window sash, creating an effect that's virtually burglar-proof, unlike vinyl locks which are screwed in from the top and are easy to break into. Be sure to consider the safety aspects when you go to replace your windows.

Lately all my free time has been caught up in housework and reading. I try not to use all River's nap time "working" because I need a break. So I've been breaking up my "projects" into smaller sections. What I mean by all this is...painting. I ran out of paint for a couple rooms and left them unfinished for far too long. Now I am nearly done with the painted rooms and only have part of the hall, River's room and our bedroom to paint...another time...maybe over the winter.
I've also been shopping at etsy.com. I am usually pretty good. I mean, the only reason I even went back there was to find a birthday present for my mom and then I had to go back to see if things had shipped yet and leave reviews for things I had received.
On one of these productive trips, I pondered looking around at orange colored prints solely for the purpose of balancing out the orange color of the dinning room accent wall with an orange print across from it. I usually just favorite things I like and turn away.
But there was a sale! A buy-one-get-one-free-with-free-shipping-sale. I couldn't pass that up. Plus, I had just gotten paid for a story so the money was just sitting there in my paypal account.
and this one (the FREE one!)
by modernarteveryday *
*having great summer sales all this week!
Then I happened to spy this one, which I would have simply saved it there weren't only a few prints left! Isn't it lovely?

I was supposed to use that money towards a desk for the office...darn.

Your article 'Teenage TV couch potatoes' (Sports supplement, 9 October) ascribes the reduction of the calorific intake of modern children to a concomitant decrease in levels of physical activity; this seems naively to overlook the energy expended passively in keeping warm. The prevalence of central heating in homes and schools, the transport of children in heated cars, perhaps even changes in the climate, must mean children are exposed to a warmer environment than in the 1930s.
I hope John Durnin has the funding to continue his work over the period when VAT is introduced on domestic fuel: he should see a noticeable effect, providing of course the government doesn't spoil the data by taxing bread in the same budget.

Two of the world's fastest Olympians got some one-on-one time Thursday with two of the National Zoo's quickest cats.

ACC Championships
In just his first season as head coach of the Wolfpack, head coach Shawn Rychcik led the squad to the 2013 ACC Championship crown - becoming the first coach in the history of the conference to win the tournament title in their first season. The squad set various program records en route to earning an automatic bid to an NCAA Regional, after winning the ACC Championship. Rychcik and his staff led the team to a 35-20-1 record on the season, highlighted by a 13-7 record in conference play. Emily Weiman became the first Wolfpack softball player to earn the ACC Pitcher of the Year award, after leading the league in wins (33). As a team, the Pack smashed a conference leading and school record 88 home runs, breaking the previous record of 35 by more than 50 homers. Weiman along with Renada Davis, Caitlin Dent and Kirsty Grant earned All-ACC honors following the season.
Preseason picked to finish fifth in the league, the NC State softball team overcame the odds during the 2006 season to win the ACC regular season title and claim the conference championship crown in the tournament. The squad finished the campaign with a 50-21 overall record, including a 14-5 mark in ACC play. It was the program's first and only 50-win season. Head coach Lisa Navas earned ACC Coach of the Year after guiding the team to its most successful season in program history. The 2006 squad had three players earn All-ACC honors as Jen Chamberlin, Shaina Ervin and Abbie Sims all claimed the accolade. A 4-1 win against Florida State in the championship game sealed the ACC crown for the squad. The team earned the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA Regionals it collected a 1-0 win versus Princeton.

Football fans get a close-up in 'Silver Linings'
As with many things in sports, the Eagles devotion in "Silver Linings Playbook" flows through the father, played by De Niro. He not only makes much of his living from the Eagles as a bookie, but he watches each game at home with obsessive-compulsive ardor. The fortunes of the Solitanos become inextricably linked with that of the Eagles.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick, a Philadelphia native who, reached by phone at his home in Massachusetts, makes no bones about his allegiance: "I bleed green," he says.
"My earliest memories of my father are of going down to the Vet," says Quick, referring to Veterans Stadium, the former home of the Eagles. "In the neighborhood I grew up in, the men didn't tell you that they loved you or give you hugs, they took you to Eagles games," says Quick. "If the Eagles scored a touchdown, you got a hug."
"It's such a metaphor for striving," says Quick. "No matter what happens, there's always that next game. There's always that next season."
The plot of "Big Fan" might suggest a more cynical view of football, but Siegel, too, is a lifelong sports fan. Growing up on Long Island, he became a devoted listener to the New York-area sports radio station WFAN. In the film, Oswalt's character is a regular caller, dialing in like a performer with a nightly show.
"The callers seemed like these incredibly vivid, almost movie characters," say Siegel. "You've got these ordinary working Joes taking on the machismo and testosterone of their heroes and doing it anonymously through the radio where it's very safe. It's kind of a form of fantasy play acting."
As he treated a sport usually not taken seriously (professional wrestling) in "The Wrestler," Siegel feels the often-disrespected sports fan is fertile, relatively unexplored territory.
"What (fans) are passionate about might seem silly to the outside observer," says Siegel. "Certainly you could make the case that that's very sad and pathetic, but I don't. I admire their passion and I identify with it."
"Sports fans are outsiders who feel like insiders," he adds, "which is an interesting thing to explore."

A linear polymer, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is prepared from ethylene by a catalytic process. The absence of branching results in a more closely packed structure with a higher density and somewhat higher chemical resistance than LDPE. HDPE is also somewhat harder and more opaque and it can withstand rather higher temperatures (120° Celsius for short periods, 110° Celsius continuously).
High density polyethylene lends itself particularly well to blow molding, e.g. for bottles, cutting boards, dipping baskets, dippers, trays and containers. Dynalab Corp's plastic fabrication shop fabricates thousands of catalog and custom acrylic products.
HDPE fabrication quote request.
Don't see the answers to your high density polyethylene questions? It must be time to see what Mr. Plastic has to say. Mr. Plastic is a wealth of technical, practical and even some hysterical plastic advice. Please submit your request via e-mail, phone calls will not be accepted.
High density polyethylene laboratory sieve
