Light Rain
CLEVELAND - The writing is on the wall for the lowest-scoring star on Stevie Wonder week on "Dancing with the Stars" (Very superstitious writing on the wall? Sorry – couldn't resist).
But before we learn who gets kicked off, remember it's Time-Filler Tuesday, so we get treated to lots of performances and behind-the-scenes footage. First up, Olly Murs performs his song "Troublemaker."
First results. Country singer Kellie Pickler and Derek are safe, as are Olympian Aly Raisman and Mark.
Kellie tweeted, "Thank y'all so much for voting for Derek and me!!! We're excited to be able to dance another week!! #Samba #DWTS :)." Aly tweeted, "THANKS for all the support! Can't stop smiling :) # DWTS."
We're then shown some video of Stevie saying it was an honor for him to be on the show. He adds, they've been talking about him competing for some time, and now he wants to make it a reality. Awesome! Hope he gets Sharna; she really seems like a brilliant choreographer and compassionate partner.
Our next behind-the-scenes video is some peculiar sideshow of the stars singing karaoke. The highlight is seeing Karina beat NFL star Jacoby Jones with a giant inflatable microphone.
Time for the encore performance. Fans got to vote on Twitter which group dance from Monday night they wanted to see, and they chose Team Zendaya. Oh, wait – I meant, Team Paso, with Disney Star Zendaya, Jacoby, soap star Ingo Rademacher, boxer Victor Ortiz and their partners.
Sorry, it's just that Zendaya has an army of tween Twitter followers millions strong and due to them will be this season's (deserved) winner, as I've said since my first recap six weeks ago.
Time for more results. In behind the scenes video, Peta tells "Bachelor" Sean Lowe they need better scores. Sean says, "I'm sleeping with Bruno." He might have to. Sean and Peta are in jeopardy. Zendaya and Val are safe. Obviously.
Zendaya tweeted to her hordes, "thanks everyone for keeping me in this thing!! I promise work even harder!! I love u more than I can say!! #TeamZendaya #TeamValDaya # DWTS."
Host Tom Bergeron says that DWTS has the best crew in live TV. Behind the scenes footage shows how they breakdown and build every set during every commercial break. Actor Andy Dick puts it best: "Every dance is like a Broadway show - for a minute."
Performance time with will.i.am singing "That Power." Watching this, I can only hope the drop-crotch pants fad does not last. The chorus is done by an oddly distracting video of Justin Bieber singing - or, as Tom calls it, "Obi Wan Bieber."
More results. Victor and Lindsay are in jeopardy. Ingo and Peta are safe. The show also points out how everyone loves Ingo's toddler son, Peanut, and showers him with high fives. In post-show video, we see Peanut yell to Kellie, "I'll see you at the after party!" THAT easily earned Ingo more votes to coast through next week.
Ingo tweeted, "And the winner of the mirror ball trophy is........ Peanut! Pressure off daddy :-) http://instagram.com/p/Ydkvh1AxGj/."
Performance time again with Macy's Stars of dance. It's like Pac-Man choreographed it. I love it.
Time for - another performance, with a tribal theme this time. All the pro girls are showing off the midriffs and the guys are shirtless. Oh, look, there's a fire breather twirling a baton of flames, too. It's more like "Ab Workout with the Stars." Well, off I go to do some crunches.
More results. Random alert! In behind the scenes video, we see Judge Len Goodman yell to Andy, "Come on, my ole lover!" Anyway, Jacoby and Karina are safe. Andy and Sharna are in jeopardy.
Commercial break, then final results. Andy is safe. Wow, that was fast. Didn't we just put him in jeopardy like two minutes ago?
Okay, so it's between Victor and Lindsay or Sean and Peta. I suspect Sean might be one of the final two in jeopardy because he said he wanted to bump out Andy this week. Don't underestimate Andy, gang - he might edge out Sean or even Ingo in a major upset next week.
But the couple getting knocked out (ha) is… Victor and Lindsay.
No real surprise there - I called it yesterday, just based on scores and fan base and sympathy votes for Andy. Victor says he's happy to make it this far, but "I definitely need some dance moves." But he's got a lot of heart.
Victor tweeted, "Huge thanks to all the fans that supported @Dance9Lindsay & I this season! Such an amazing experience and we couldnt have done it without u!"
The competition continues Monday night at 8 on ABC with Latin Week and Juanez will be performing. Next week, the show will also pay tribute to the story of Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a dancer who lost a foot in the Boston marathon bombings.

Jeans: all dressed up, everywhere to go
FASHION Jeans are all dressed up with everywhere to go, from the workplace to holiday parties
Updated 3:10 am, Sunday, December 2, 2012
Denim has been the medium for many trends over the years, from bell-bottomed and embroidered with butterflies, to acid washed and dyed neon.
But jeans have never been as formal as a suit or party-ready as a holiday dress - until now. A new fleet of fancy, embellished denim coming out of Los Angeles and New York features hybrids of crushed velvet and metallic silver, baroque and edgy prints, and accents like tuxedo stripes. Designers are taking artistic license with what, exactly, a jean is. Even if the material isn't denim, the skinny silhouette and fit pegs these fancy pants as anything but dowdy.

"I see a lot of young women who just don't feel comfortable in slacks, even for work," says Leslie Armstrong, events associate at Azalea, whose Hayes Valley jeans bar is one of the city's largest.
"Jeans are already standard office wear in San Francisco, let's be honest. But women are starting to want something a little nicer. Fancy jeans are versatile, sexy and work-ready. You don't have to change before you go out. They're really a perfect San Francisco pant."
They're also a great holiday party pant.
"They can be a statement," says Armstrong. "And they're fun. They can show a sense of humor."
Kelsey McNamara, a 23-year-old Google workplace services specialist, hadn't worn slacks since high school.
"It's just really hard to look good in slacks - they're often pretty shapeless, and they look a little formal at a place like Google where everyone wears jeans to work," she says. "But at the same time, it feels nice to dress up more, especially in sales because I work with clients, not just engineers."
So when she saw faux leather jeans advertised in Vogue over the summer, she was thrilled. She bought a pair this fall.
Coming from established premium denim brands like J Brand, Current/Elliott, AG, MiH and Kasil Workshop, among others, fancy denim is available at a range of prices. H&M has a bright silver stretch version; Kohl's carries quilted, printed and foil-covered styles, and even a cream-colored Rock and Republic with abstract feather prints, lightly dusted in glitter.
Los Angeles' Kasil Workshop makes one of Azalea's most popular styles, the Minx - a thin-cut denim pant with textured snakeskin printed down the back.
"The snakeskin we ordered is usually used on shoes," says head designer Brian Alagao. "It was an experiment here, and it works. It elevates the jean."
To make the Minx, Alagao's team hooks the jeans onto a special mannequins (made of balloons which are then blown up) before hand-sanding them. They peel the snakeskin print off large reams and stick it on.
"We play and experiment," says Alagao. "For this line, we took from other industries to make jeans something they hadn't been before. I see them as a blank canvas, and I'm a painter."
On the city streets and the Google campus, McNamara has noticed that fancy pants are becoming commonplace. With their classic skinny lines and range of finishes, they have more appeal and staying power than neon jeans.
However, wearing an elaborate jean requires more planning than normal ones, she cautions. She pairs her floral jeans with simple tops and brown boots.
"If you have too much pattern, or if the floral print is too big, it's dangerous. You don't want to look like drapes."

My buddy and I are determined to go to a PPV or RAW front row, but they are always like $300 bucks a ticket on Stubhub and such. They are near impossible to get through the box office. We've tried.

IOWA CITY — "It's not the end of the world," Illinois coach Bruce Weber said in the wake of his team's first loss since last April's national championship game against North Carolina. "We're 15-1. If you gave me that last spring, I'd have given you $100,000.
"It shows how vulnerable we are. I hope we're sad, we're disappointed and we learn from it. There's going to be a bunch of games like this in the Big Ten. We have to get better and hope we're in the hunt down the stretch."

The surgeons of NYGPS are recognized within the medical community for their expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgeries including: Direct-to-Implant (One-Step) breast reconstruction and DIEP (free tissue transfer) breast reconstruction; microsurgery to treat trauma injuries, severe wounds and burns, and repair, reattach or replace damaged limbs; and pediatric cranio-facial surgery. Read the surgeons' bios and medical procedure fact sheets here:
Press Materials
C. Andrew Salzberg, MD – Media Bio
Dr. C. Andrew Salzberg, a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, is an associate professor at NY Medical College and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Westchester Medical Center and St. John's Riverside Hospital at Dobbs Ferry Pavilion. He also operates at the Institute for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery within the Hudson Valley Hospital Center and at The Mt. Sinai Hospital Center in New York City.
Direct-to-Implant or "One-Step" Breast Reconstruction Fact Sheet
Mastectomy is the surgical removal of breast tissue to treat or prevent breast cancer, and breast reconstruction is the surgical procedure to restore the breast's shape, size and appearance. Mastectomy with breast reconstruction is an option for women being treated for breast cancer, or women at high genetic risk or strong family history of breast cancer.
Microsurgery Fact Sheet: Advanced Reconstruction to Repair Serious Injuries, Improve Cancer Cosmetic Outcomes
Plastic surgery is usually associated with cosmetic procedures like facelifts or rhinoplasty, but also plays a critical role in treating severe injuries and wounds. Reconstructing deformities from accidents, birth defects or major cancer surgery are part of the daily challenge faced by a plastic surgeon.
Pediatric Plastic Surgery Fact Sheet
Each year 150,000 children in the United States are born with birth defects. Many birth defects cause physical deformities and asymmetry, or uneven appearance, of the face or body. The physical and emotional impact on affected children and their parents can be enormous. There are very few plastic surgeons who specialize in treating complex (complicated) deformities of the face and body in children. Advancements in the specialties of pediatric plastic surgery and craniofacial (skull and head) surgery are creating exciting new options for children with many of the common, as well as complex, birth defects.

First only offered by LG Electronics, Samsung's latest and greatest device is an OLED television. For those who may not know just what OLED is in comparison to an LED, LCD or a plasma screen, it stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode, and it features an amazing MultiView that permits a roomful of people to watch two different shows or movies on the same screen.
It's quite simple: you sit down on the side of the screen your show is playing on, put on your 3-D glasses and be sure to plug in your headphones. Samsung Electronics America's vice president, David Das, has said that people at the company have taken to calling it 'the marriage saver' because "my wife and I can be sitting on the couch watching two different programs on the same OLED TV."
Wired gives us some juicy details: first off, OLED is brighter, thinner, and more energy-efficient than any other television picture on the market right now. Tim Moynihan goes crazy with adjectives to describe it: "Like plasma sets, OLEDs have deeper blacks, more pronounced contrast, smoother on-screen motion, and wider viewing angles — but even deeper, punchier, smoother, and wider."
Here's the pricetag: an OLED television will set you back $9000, or $7 per square inch of TV. Moynihan notes that number is four times the cost of a 55-inch diagonal Samsung screen, but the technology is so new that the release of an OLED television at less than $10,000 is considered an industry breakthrough. By comparison, an LG Electronics OLED screen is about $15,000.
USA Today reports Ken Park, a DisplaySearch analyst, as saying that less than 20,000 OLED screens will be shipped in 2013, but that number is expected to grow. And why not? Jim Willcox, a senior electronics editor for Consumer Reports, was quoted as saying that the image quality is higher than any comparable plasma TV, and "you get an unparalleled contrast range that makes images pop off the screen."

A decision by Norfolk U.S. District Judge Raymond A. Jackson in a closely watched patent case could be costly for Internet giant Google Inc.
Vringo Inc., a small patent and technology company, scored a major win in its ongoing patent battle with Google and other companies after Jackson last week set a 1.36 percent running royalty on U.S.-based revenue from AdWords, Google's flagship advertising program, according to published reports.
Jackson had earlier ruled that Google had not made significant changes in its infringing program and gave the two sides a last opportunity to agree on a royalty rate. When settlement talks failed, Jackson set the royalty rate at almost exactly the rate Vringo was seeking, according to an article posted on Ars Technica.
In its lawsuit, a Vringo subsidiary originally sought at least $500 million claiming Google and other Internet companies used patented advertising technology without permission.
Jackson's January rulings build on a 2012 jury decision that Google and other defendants should pay future royalties based on a percentage of advertising revenue until patents expire in 2016. The jury also awarded the plaintiff approximately $30.5 million.
On Jan. 3, Jackson ordered that Vringo's subsidiary recover an additional $17.3 million for supplemental damages and prejudgment interest.
If the Jan. 28 royalty rate decision is upheld on appeal, the patent case could cost Google hundreds of millions of dollars, the article said.

If the FTC lets Google off with voluntary undertakings Europe should take a different view.
Rumours have been circulating this week that Google may 'voluntarily' make some changes to the way it conducts its search business and thereby avoid any action or indeed even censure from the FTC. Whilst the actual decision of the FTC is still unknown, what is clear is that the situation in Europe is very different.
This news comes as a grave disappointment to the scores of companies that had put their faith in the FTC to protect them from the full brunt of Google's monopoly power. However it is clear is that the situation in Europe is very different.
Not only is Google's dominance even higher in the EU countries – in excess of 93% in some – giving it extraordinary market power which simply cannot be ignored, but the case in Europe is not simply Google vs. the European Commission. There are 19 other parties – all complainants that have raised specific, well documented and serious complaints against Google's abuse of its dominant position. Each of these complaints has rights and each will need to be satisfied that any settlement addresses the issues at the heart of their complaints. As ICOMP member Dan Savage, CEO of Tradecomet.com said, "should the FTC not act it will hand Google a free hand as it continues to increase its dominance of worldwide web. Comparison shopping sites are already on the endangered species list as Google's own service, Google Shopping, receives increasing prominence on the top half of the first page of search results. This kind of concentration of power has serious consequences in the long run".
It is therefore very unlikely that Google will escape in Europe with a weak voluntary undertaking to make some changes to elements of its search business.
The FTC and the EC operate under very different legislative frameworks and are dealing with substantially different market realities. The European Commission has an excellent record of winning its cases and bringing effective remedies against abusive dominant players. There is plenty of evidence that demonstrates the harm that Google´s behaviour is causing in the EU and so every chance that a robust set of solutions will be imposed on Google.
However, Google's track record of obfuscation and avoidance of responsibility make any 'voluntary' actions extremely hard to take seriously. As documented in a Senate hearing in September 2011, Google has knowingly disregarded business agreements, making use of its search monopoly to force competitors to fall into line as well as claiming competitor content to be its own. Merely requiring Google to "label" manipulated search results, will do nothing to help consumers or promote competition nor will it truly address the underlying issues at hand. Indeed, if Google will not abide to the terms of a contract then how can regulators trust that the company will abide to voluntary agreements? Furthermore, labelling and other "cosmetic" actions will not address the harm already done to entrepreneurs around the world and equally will not restrict Google from continuing to act belligerently in the future.
We know from its wilful ignoring of the FTC's Consent Decree on Google Buzz , the many layers of confusion and avoidance connected to the investigations of the SteetView WiFi snooping scandal, the iPhone hacking scandal and the way it implemented its privacy policy in the teeth of criticism from European consumer affairs organisations, that Google simply can't be trusted to keep to even weak settlements without stringent means of enforcement.
The FTC´s decision should not, therefore, preclude the European Commission from responding robustly to the overwhelming number of complaints and concerns which have been raised against Google over the last two years in Europe. Thousands of European businesses and jobs depend on it.

The Approach of Karl Marx to the Study of Indian Society
IN ORDER to understand the contribution of Marx and Marxists to the human sciences, one must appreciate],the period Marx lived in. It was, first and foremost, the epoch of enormous scientific advance, and "as science developed it was conceived as a liberator. People were taught to study the laws of nature instead of the laws of God. And religion was de-mystified—the mystery was taken out of religion by Science, and humanity acquired a self-confidence in handling its own affairs. The authority of the Church was threatened and the religious pillars on which state power rested were undermined. And out of that came the foundation of modern education and the development of Science as a radical force."1 In this new breakthrough out of the fetters of religion, "Science also became in the nineteenth century the basis for social studies. Whatever political opinions people may hold, there is no doubt that Das Kapital by Karl Marx represents a very significant development of social science. ... Marx was clearly the first serious scientific student of the structure of Society and of the Economy."2
More specifically, Marx heralded "the rejection of the previously held fundamental conception of the historical dynamic. No one has expressed and justified this rejection better than Marx. The rejected conception claimed that men are shaped by ideas and act according to the ideas they adopt, without their practical circumstances having any influence on these idea... it is a rejection of historical idealism, and is therefore a negative basic principle which clears the way for many scientific options."3

Have you not begged for help with God?
Your ancestors have liberation from cold, deprivation, hunger and pain of every kind
Prayed, and this request for salvation, it may be said, took a long time to come.
Have not you rebelled because God had left you?
God's mills grind slowly but steadily!
Ultimately freedom has arrived.
Now you have the opportunity to find the right path and the direction to financial freedom and
Security for you, your families and future generations.
They say "God works in mysterious ways" Is not it?
If this is true, he wouldn't be the first financial scammer to target church-goers. That practice goes back as far as Clyde Hood and "Omega."

The primary goal of this program is to encourage biomedical research excellence within SC, with the eventual goal of increasing the competitiveness of the state's institutions in federal funding. Furman will receive approximately $260,000/year through June 2015 in support of this effort, and matching funds are being used to enhance support of individual faculty research projects of biomedical relevance. Dr. John Wheeler serves as Furman's Project Director for the INBRE award. Between the original INBRE award from 2005-2011, eight different faculty members from the Departments of Psychology (3), HSC (2), Biology (1) and Chemistry (2) were supported by INBRE matching grants at Furman, leading to submissions of grant applications to NIH, NSF, several private foundations and multiple student co-authored presentations and publications.

Financial support includes a $10,000 faculty summer research stipend, one $4,000 student research stipend and a supplies budget of up to $3,500. Any faculty member is eligible to apply, provided their research efforts are in the general domain of biomedical science and amenable to potential NIH or NSF funding. In addition to the scientific evaluation of the proposed work, evidence of planning for proposal submission to NIH or similar extramural agency, recent research productivity, and the applicant's history of extramural support will be primary factors considered by the Oversight Committee. The funding vested in these projects is substantial; significant outcomes are thus expected in terms of professional presentations, the submission of manuscripts for publication and the preparation of a competitive major extramural grant application. For 2015 application materials and instructions, please contact John Wheeler in OIRS at email@example.com. Applications will be due in early February 2015, with award announcements anticipated by March 1.

We are pleased to announce the creation of a USD $1.2 million grant fund for Bitcoin protocol development. This grant will support teams working on Bitcoin protocol development, foster greater diversity of innovation, and improve freedom of choice for all Bitcoin users.
The following principles are offered to all members of the Bitcoin community as a foundation upon which to establish common ground moving forward. :
- No "Official" Bitcoin: No particular implementation of the Bitcoin protocol holds claim to being the "official" version of Bitcoin
- Multiple Implementations: Diversity of bitcoin protocol implementation along with a variety of development teams is a net gain for the bitcoin community.
- Diversity of Innovation: The presence of more developers and more development teams will lead to greater diversity of innovation and solutions to the problems we will inevitably face as a growing industry.
- Bitcoin is Leaderless: Bitcoin is a leaderless community comprised of many parts, and no team of developers has decision making authority for the entire community.
- No Censorship: Disagreement is healthy within a complex community such as ours. Yet the benefits of discussion, debate, and dissent require communication channels to remain free and open. Although we respect the right of private communities to run themselves as they see fit, the signers of this statement implore members of bitcoin to reject censorship and encourage them to support those platforms where free and open discussion is allowed to take place.
By finding common ground in the above statements, and by showing good faith towards all developers who wish to contribute to the development of Bitcoin, we can begin to mend the deep rift that has divided and distracted our still-nascent community and industry.
If you are working on a Bitcoin protocol related project, and would like to request more information or apply for a grant, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Over the course of Exiern's 10+ year run it has been no stranger to nudity. There have been many reasons for this, from a way to bring in revenue to a developing sense of anti-censorship.
Also, sometimes our ad providers have been dicks and we've been forced to put shitty underwear on characters and then forget to remove them after switching services.
Right now, as part of Project Get Exiern Back To Twice-A-Week Updates, there are two artists working separately on two Exiern story lines. In both stories there are instances were characters are less than clothed. And in both cases I told the artists, "Draw what you are comfortable with."
One artist drew a scene were certain body parts are naturally blocked from view. The other did not. Both have turned out looking great.
I mention this because it is all part of the overall goal of continuing to elevate Exiern as the art it has been, is, and can be more so.
Nudity is, as it should be, an artistic choice. And it is worth celebrating whichever way that choice goes.
As always, as the pages post, I hope you enjoy.

Did you check my introduction post on Lovelyshoes.net? I mentioned about their beautiful collection of shoes and dresses for women! I recently hauled from them and here you go.. I am sharing my experience and haul with you all!
I ordered a classy knee length zebra dress, a pair of leopard shoes and a pink shorts. I will be soon doing an OOTD with the items I got! I will update it here once it goes up.
Zebra Long Maxi Dress
Love at first sight is what I say! I loved every bit of this dress. The sleeves, the pattern and the fabric. Animals prints are in trend now and hence I wanted to grab a nice leopard or zebra print dress and fixed my eye on this piece.
The dress is made of Terylene fabric. It is smooth, light and not at all transparent. The sleeves are short and for my height, 100 cm is a perfect length; not too long and not too short. It covers few more cm below my knees!
Leopard Print Comfortable Pumps
I have expressed my craze for high heels on my previous wishlist. Haven't it? Due to that craze, I checked out all the high heels in this site and loved many of them. But later on, I wanted to go with something not-so-high but still 'heels' being a starter, so opted for this one – a stylish leopard print pumps with 3-5 cm heel. They are just perfect; not too short; the quality is good. They are so comfortable as per the name. What more? There are 2 colors and 10 sizes available! Go grab one without a second thought.
P.S I first ordered the black n white one to match my zebra outfit but then changed my mind and added this leopard pumps to my cart. I wanted one for a long time so badly!
West Style Short Pants – Pink
These shorts are so summery, so cute and very hard to resist not add them to the cart! There are 6 bright colors available. It got the pink one and liking it a lot on me. I would pair it up with my favorite plain black tee. For $5, these cuties are definitely a steal! The fabric is cotton and is so comfortable for summer. One size fits all. Do check these out for sure!
Hope you liked my first haul from lovelyshoes. The prices are very affordable for the quality they offer! I was skeptical about the quality after placing my order but now I am sure I am going to place more orders in coming weeks! I have an OOTD post ready in my draft wearing this Zebra outfit and the leopard shoes. Stay tuned for it!

Naadir Tharpe benched, Frank Mason to start at point guard for Kansas
The Jayhawks will roll with four freshmen in the starting lineup for the team's big road game Saturday.
More College Basketball: Today's Games | Daily Top 25 (And 1) | Kansas team home
Hard to say any college basketball game one month into the season is "critical," so I won't do that here, but Kansas at Colorado stands to be something rather important for the Jayhawks on Saturday.
KU had a lackluster showing in the Bahamas last week, going 1-2 and falling to an undefeated Villanova team. Andrew Wiggins had only six points in the team' s 67-73 win over UTEP. In general, the team looks good but definitely not anywhere near great, and there are certainly some holes to be patched up. There are plenty of questions, and should Kansas lose on Saturday, I think the criticism toward KU and Wiggins will be dialed up a few clicks.
So that's why it's pretty interesting that KU coach Bill Self is opting to start freshman point guard Frank Mason over junior Naadir Tharpe on Saturday in the team's first road game of the season. This according to KUSports.com.
Self, who has used the same starting lineup the past six games, will alter the opening five Saturday at Colorado. Self says he has decided to go with freshman Frank Mason at the point-guard position in place of junior Naadir Tharpe, who has started all but one game — the season-opener, in which he served a suspension against Louisiana at Monroe. ...
"We're going to put Frank out there to start the game," Self said. "He's been one of our more consistent, better performers so far this year. I think he deserves the opportunity."
Of Mason, Self added: "Frank doesn't talk, but he's been great. He had about as bad a two minutes against UTEP as a guy could possibly have to end the game ... but if you're going to line up the games that are hard to win on who our best player has been, you can make a case it's been Frank, whether it be Duke, Villanova, Wake. I'm really pleased with him. But he's got a lot to learn, too, but he's trying. He tries hard every day. Every day he tries."
Mason is putting up 8.9 points per game and has a 20-7 assist-to-turnover differential so far this season in 19.4 minutes per game. He's a talented player, certainly, and it's going to be interesting to see how Kansas plays with four freshmen in the lineup. In addition to Wiggins, center Joel Embiid and shooting guard Wayne Selden are also first-year players. Perry Ellis, the sophomore 4 who leads the team in scoring, will also be in the lineup.
Colorado is 8-1, winners of eight straight after dropping the season-opener to Baylor.

Akii and Kat roped in for Namastey London sequel?
There was a time when Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif did every other movie together. But the fans have missed seeing this good-looking pair since their last film, Tees Maar Khan. But word is that the duo are slated to romance each other yet again. Director Vipul Shah is excited to make a sequel to his 2007 hit Namaste London which had starred Akki and Kat in the lead. The film-maker wants to retain his original cast and has approached both the actors who have apparently given their nod. Buzz about the sequel of Namaste London has been doing rounds in the Bollywood circuit for quite some time now. But it seems that Vipul Shah is getting pretty serious about it and going ahead with full steam.

Customers the losers in Argos plan
In a business world where mergers and acquisitions are de rigueur these days, the announcement from Sainsbury's that they are keen to purchase Argos might be regarded as fairly unexceptional.
However, some leading industry experts have already expressed concern that Sainsbury's could be backing the wrong horse if they are simply looking for a solution to the problem of surplus space in many of their retail outlets.
It is no secret that Sainsbury's has discovered they have too much un-filled selling space in some larger stores due, in part, to streamlining product ranges and more rigorous category management and that may be part of the rationale behind the planned purchase of Argos from Home Retail Group (HRG). But it's certainly not the whole story.
Yesterday, worryingly, Argos reported like-for-like sales down by 2.2% in the 18 weeks up to January 2, in spite of its best ever sales, up 41%, on Black Friday.
Also interesting to note is the fact that HRG is in reportedly advanced talks with the Australian company, Wesfarmers, to offload Homebase for a reported £340m. This raises the much bigger question of what is really going on at HRG, especially if they were to offload Argos to Sainsbury's and Homebase to Wesfarmers.
There is an already very successful strategic alliance between Sainsbury's and Argos in existence, and it is apparently the plan to further hone this relationship through acquisition.
Sainsbury's has already indicated that, if the deal goes ahead, 200 Argos stores could potentially be closed but state that they would be able to re-deploy those staff in their own supermarkets.
However, it's not just all about which retailers want to join forces in order to create a more formidable force in the supermarket sector. The needs, desires, demands and aspirations of consumers have got to be uppermost when making such radical decisions.
Both Sainsbury's and Argos need to carefully consider the ramifications of any proposed 'marriage of convenience' from the point of view of consumers.
Everyone knows that strategic alliances and joint ventures, like marriages, sometimes don't work!

LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) – Trees that may look healthy on the outside aren't always that way, and severe thunderstorms can serve as a painful reminder of this fact to homeowners. During Wednesday night's storms, a massive branch from a 150 year-old maple tree came down outside a home on Route 5 in Longmeadow.
Donald Pease, a master arborist for Northern Tree Services, told 22News that had the tree been in good shape, it would have survived. Now, not only will the fallen branch have to be removed, but the whole tree will have to be taken down.
Pease said that homeowners just don't realize how weak and corroded their trees may be. A professional eye is sometimes needed, as the trees may have green leaves, but a strong gust of wind can expose the damage on the inside.
"We also have tools like a risograph to determine how much decay is in these trees, whether they should be removed or not," Pease said.
He added that it frequently takes a summer storm to separate the healthy trees from those which can't stand up to severe wind.

For many of us who live in the ATX, we have lived by the unwritten rules of love everyone; have fun and Keep Austin Weird. We especially enjoy the benefits of our free thinking, free loving, free spirited and no cover bar entry seven days a week nightlife . Soon we will begin the spring and summer seasons of the massive influx of "out of towners" and "visitors" who are looking to enjoy a piece of the Austin fun and nightlife. Each of them is valuable contributors to our Austin nightlife and economy and we celebrate them for their patronage.
Like my later statement, these visitors and out of towners will come to enjoy the unwritten benefits we as Austinites also enjoy and quite frankly have come to depend on. We know that nothing is really FREE! For every bar or dance venue that offers a "No Cover" entry those revenues must be recovered in some other fashion. For the venues and bars I frequent with friends, most of those revenues are recovered through the generous tips and gratuity from those of us who receive their services of cold drinks, tasty meals and/or entertainment (like bands or DJs).
Many out of towners are not used to the unwritten benefits provided within the Austin nightlife. They are used to $5 – $25 cover charges, rude bartenders and strict dress codes, not to mention over priced drinks and tencious surroundings. Because of this Austin 360 degree change for the better some of them may bring their out of town practices of "Low or NO" tips when they receive the services or products of bartenders and wait staffs when they are visiting the ATX. This hurts and could cripple many venues especially those fully dependent on revenues from nightlife patrons.
I call on each of you to share this article's advice with your friends and family when they visit you in the ATX, this season to remember our nightlife, its workers and businesses survive because of our patronage and generous tips. I am not advocating you tip 50% on a drink, although it would be appreciated if you did, but be certain to tip reasonably when you receive good service. I'm certain you will receive good service in most if not all nightlife venues so be sure to let your server know you appreciate their service and fun venue.
Those of us who live here would like to Keep Austin Weird but most importantly we would like to KEEP AUSTIN NIGHTLIFE HERE.
I am not affiliate with any bar, restaurant or night venue in the ATX. I am merely a patron who enjoys the comforts and benefits of a year-round fun nightlife and good people.

I asked a question earlier about why my "hiking" tag didn't show up on the home page. I think I might have asked my question the wrong way. Sorry if there's something obvious I'm not understanding. What I was trying to ask is, why doesn't "hiking" show up among the tags in the "Right now in tags" feature that starts on the home page and goes to a second page? Is a minimum number of posts needed from the universe of WordPress bloggers before the tag "qualifies" to be in that "Right now" group?
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Which tags go into "Right now in tags"?
The tags listed on the WordPress.com home page are the most popular and active tags, as selected by a super secret formula.
There are any number of popular tags that don't appear there - not because we have anything against them, but simply because there are too many.
Okay, that's kind of what I thought. At the risk of sounding like sour grapes, I wonder about "Right now" categories like "all posts" and "opinion." But you can't please all the people all the time...
I've been blogging about writing for 21 days. My blog still doesn't show up in the Right now in Tags group. Why is that? My blog is even called WRITE Nonfiction in November.
Do you have any idea how many people are using that tag? You would probably have less than three seconds to click over to Right Now In Tags once you posted your post.
Also, without a direct link to your blog we can't even tell if it would be excluded from the global tag pages.

Utterly unique and enchanting, many of Australia's animals could be from a fairy tale. Apart from the scientific marvels such as the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, which include the platypus and the prickly echidna, there are the marsupials, mammals that carry their underdeveloped young around in a cozy pouch until they are ready for the world, along with vast colorful birdlife and a few creepy-crawlies thrown in for good measure.
Yes, there are nasty spiders and dangerous snakes in this country, but generally they stay out of your way and are not really interested, unlike the possums.You know you have settled in Australia when at sunset flocks of cockatoos perch near you, making an incredible noise; red, green, and pink parrots regularly come into your garden looking for seeds and nuts; possums clamber around the electric wires outside your house at night; and maybe, if you are very lucky on a country drive on the weekend, you spot an elusive koala nestling in the fork of a tree, or indeed see a kangaroo powerfully propelling itself through the bush. Yes, there are nasty spiders and dangerous snakes in this country, but generally they stay out of your way and are not really interested, unlike the possums. They actively come down from the trees to have a good look at you, and while it is illegal to hug a koala in most states, you can—if you can't find one in the wild—get a close look at these eucalyptus-munching cuties in any nearby wildlife center and appreciate that you are truly living in Australia.
Introduced Species
The rabbits by the side of the road, the camels ruminating in the desert, those poisonous toads that scare everybody—none are native to Australia, but they are very common and are usually a pest. Those cute button-nosed bunnies were imported by a farmer from Britain because he wanted to have something to shoot at in the back garden.
Not many years later those 20 or so rabbits had produced uncountable new generations that literally changed Australia's landscape from shrubby undergrowth to desert. The introduction of the myxomatosis virus decreased the numbers, but only for a while, until new generations had become immune to it. The camels were imported because they suited the large desert regions in Australia, and now they have gone native and are so prolific that they are exported to the Middle East. The cane toads were introduced to combat an epidemic of beetles that were munching on the sugarcane harvests, and while they managed to get rid of the beetles, they are now a pest themselves without natural predators.
Even the iconic dingo didn't initially belong here, introduced thousands of years ago by the aborigines, who had dogs. Since then, the dingoes have thrived; they thieve from farmers to such a degree that a 5,400-kilometer-long dingo fence, reportedly the world's longest fence and one of the world's longest structures, was built between South Australia up to Queensland, trying to keep the dingoes and farm animals apart. Probably the best-known nonnative species is sheep, brought from South Africa by some of the first British settlers to establish the wool industry. And where would we be today without the famous Australian sheepskin boots and Australian lamb?

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of the Abyss and her characters.
Alright guilt trip hitting me, sorry guys if you were really waiting for the next chapter in Just a Moment. It's...still in progress...I know I'm sorry but I became really lost my flame for the Tales series but Xillia is coming out in a few months in the U.S. I can't wait! Anyways just some side stories I'll come up, ever since that one filler, I decided to expand on that. :)
Well...here we go!
Beach Day!
Mystearico Grants is truly a happy man at the moment. Even if he had the famous position of Commandant of the Oracle Knights would not defeat the current moment.
"Luke your bathing suit..." he trailed off at the woman in front of him.
While Myst definitely grew in the few years, aka, his goatee, Luke physically hasn't changed a bit. However mentality her childish mind lessened and became more ladylike but she still have some random bouts of her old self.
"Myst." Luke sighed at her husband's antics. "The kids."
"I know, I know." Myst sighed as well as he took a quick glance on some children playing by the shore.
Right now both Luke and Myst agreed on babysitting some of their friend's children, and thanks to the lack of monsters now, more areas, like beaches, were safe. So the the two of them agreed to let them come to their own private beach near Baticul.
"No fair Musto!" whined a long haired brunette as she pouted at her older brother.
"H-Hey Tear, Zanne's helping you no fair!" whined a bright red head kid as he pointed at her.
The two children Musto and Tear Grants are Myst and Luke's children. Tear is as tomboyish as her mother was but she's very polite. She looks like a female version of her father, including one bang over her eye. Musto takes up more to his father, cool but he's very demanding at times.
"Well you got Eugenie." Zanne smirked at his look a like.
Prince Zanne, the next heir to the Kimlascan throne takes so much to his father, the current king Asch. His dark red hair is contrasted to Musto's as much as their personality.
"P-Please stop fighting." begged the quiet blonde in the group.
Eugenie Gardios is a noble of Malkuth. After Guy settled down with a girl at Malkuth he decided to bring back his noble status though he did kept his name as Guy. She was very quiet and hates it when her friends tend to fight.
"Yo kids what's wrong?" Myst smirked at the four.
"Daddy!" both of his kids smiled at him.
"Well it is two on two so it is fair." Luke smile gently at the children.
"Sorry Musto." Tear smiled gently at her brother as she scratched her cheek.
"Yeah, yeah." Musto shrugged his shoulders.
Musto learned from his parents to never hold a grudge for so long. He was told how both his parents knew someone who did and it almost destroyed the entire world!
"She's so pretty." Zanne stared at Tear with wide eyes as his face brightened up.
"Mommy I'm hungry." Tear blushed as a small noise emitted from her stomach.
Zanne's face even got brighter than before.
Luke chuckled from he daughter as she grinned at her. She gestured for her husband to come with the food baskets.
"Oh hey Ari, I didn't know you were here too!" Musto grinned at a shy girl by their dad.
Arietta Tatlin, or Ari, is the adopted daughter of the current Fon Master Anise Tatlin. She is the youngest and shyest of the five children.
"H-Hi." she meeped as she hid behind Myst.
"They're your friends Ari no need to be shy." Myst patted the girl's head, while in the inside is dying from the cuteness though his daughter will always be the cutest in his eyes. "Here's the food."
"Kids food time!"
After a few more hours of enjoyment, Musto, Eugenie, Ari and Tear were peacefully asleep. Zanne was staring at the setting sun.
"Zanne you're not sleepy?" Myst asked in surprised as he took a quick glance on Luke packing up their stuff.
The red head only shook his head.
"Hey kiddo no need to keep a strong front the whole time." Myst chuckled.
Something within Zanne snapped.
"How would you know?!" he growled. "You don't have to live in the pressure of being the next heir to a kingdom! To be kept on being compared to my father, sickens me!"
Myst can only stare at his newphew's ranting.
"Plus father he never pays attention to me anymore! It's always Luzu this and Luzu that!"
Princess Luzu has a strong resemblance to her mother. Her cheery smile could melt anyone's heart.
"Ever since she was born, nothing is ever the same I have to fend off for myself. Father keeps on telling me how I should be strong but all he did was leave me be!"
"Zanne." Myst started as his eyes had a darker gleam.
This was no longer Myst the cool uncle but the Commandant of the Oracle Knights.
"Your father loves you very much but in his childhood something terrible happened to him. It made him fend for own life for a long time even if he technically did have a mentor watching over him."
"My older brother." Myst grimaced. "People expected me to be like him or even greater and I hated it as well."
Zanne can only gasp at the similarities.
"He taught your father and your aunt how to fight but he manipulated the two to go against each other." said Myst as he recalled the old Asch. "He wants you to be strong. At first become strong enough for yourself, strong enough to protect the ones you love including your sister Luzu."
Zanne's eyes widened at the words.
"Your father believes you have the willpower to be that kind of person, I could feel great potential within you kiddo." Myst ruffled the boy's hair as he started to walk away.
"Thank you uncle." he muttered quietly.
"By the way." Myst said as he stopped though he didn't turn around. "Wait for a few more years then you can tell how much Tear means to you."
For some reason Zanne felt the biggest chill in his life.
Arggh I can't keep doing the apologizing thing but anyways depending on the mood these chapters will be very short or not long... yeah... Hope you enjoy this...not a sequel, definitely not a side story...well this story!

No: I Didn't Run Away and I'm Not Planning To
Hmmmmmm, I feel so happy to interact with you guys again today, it has really been a long time since I updated this blog last and I know that some of you will be wondering what's wrong. Some will even think that I've joined the tire kickers who normally blog for awhile and then quit but, that is far from the truth.
I've been around and I'm not trying to run away soon at least, not now. It's just that I've been so busy. If you notice, my last post here was on 10th April which is more than two months ago and it was even a guest. To be sincere, since i started this blog about 2 years ago, I've never been away for so long like this unless I'm sick which don't usually last for more than few days, some of you will attest to this. Thank God I'm back now.
First of all, I want to use this opportunity to thank my amazing friend Enstine Muki, among all my blogging friends, Enstine is one guy that is always asking me what's up? Once he sees me on Skype or Facebook, the first thing he usually ask is……. When am I coming back to the blogging? You can see our most current conversation via skype on the image below. Thanks man, you're indeed a friend.
Also, I will not forget my friend and mentor…….. Chadrack Irobogo, he never misses to call me on the phone at least once a week to equally ask the same question. There are also other people that has asked me similar question at a point in time including Otumba Adeyinka Samuel, Adesanmi, Miracle Ayodele and other people whom I will not mention here and of cause, i will not forget my dude Babanature, we always speak on the phone as well. Thanks to you all for your love.
To be frank, I missed you guys a lot including Queen Harleena, Lisa Buben, Lisa Buben, Javeen, Emmanuel, Samir, Nikki Merril and everyone of you and I'm glad to be here again.
So What Happened?
Actually, my absence here was indeed as a result of some circumstances that were beyond my control.
First, I'm a final year student now and everything about my studies has become so serious that I had to dedicate more of my time to it because it's now injury time:). By the grace of God, I shall be a graduate in a few months time so I also need your prayer and best wishes.
Secondary, I needed to do something different. I started few projects that really tied me down. Some of you already know about it and I will soon write about it here but not now. It's something that really needed a big chunk of my time and I had to equally give it to it.
Finally, I took on some menial freelance jobs because I needed more money bigger than the Adsense pennies, sponsored posts and other little doughs i gets from this blog once in awhile to fund the projects I'm working on and I thank God so far, everything is working out gradually gradually.
However, the purpose of this post is just to let you know that I've not disappeared as you might be thinking and, I wouldn't like to make it longer than what it is now. I will start updating this blog again but, it might not be as regular as before so, stay tunned as many good things will be coming soon:). First, I'm trying to change the them and I'm still searching to know the one that will give me what I want.
Thanks a lot for your understanding.

The First Time ...I was fourteen years old, and it was the summer school holiday. We were staying with my aunt's family in south Devon, and spent most of the time on a small beach near her home. One day I was engaged in that peculiar English pastime of trying to remove a wet bathing costume with one hand while protecting my modesty by holding a towel with the other. My aunt laughed and said I should get my father to take me to Pilchards Cove where I wouldn't need to do that. I asked her why and she told me it was a nude beach so I'd have no problems with a wet bathing costume. I was bit embarrassed hearing her talk about it, but she went on - asked me if I'd ever swum naked in the sea. I admitted that I hadn't and she told Father he should take me.
Somewhat to my surprise he did just that - a couple of days later. He parked the car and we walked down a path to the beach and I was amazed to see so many people - all naked and behaving completely naturally. Father undressed and sat on a towel - obviously he'd done it before. He grinned at me and told me I was the only one wearing clothes, so I undressed too. I was used to being naked at school, but not in front of a hundred complete strangers, so I sat on the towel and tried to be inconspicuous. At that age I was slim and athletic with a nice golden tan, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Gradually, the atmosphere of the place got to me and I began to relax -did as Father did and lay back in the sun. I knew that he was very well-endowed and I'd seen him aroused at home, but somehow the sight of his penis lying big and fat in the sunshine took me by surprise. It wasn't the fact that he was naked, or even that he was well on the way to becoming aroused - it was his complete unconcern that fascinated me. He saw me looking, and explained that nudists were not embarrassed by their own bodies - becoming aroused when sunbathing was completely natural and nothing to be embarrassed about. I was amazed - this was a father I'd never known before. He told me that he and my aunt had been here many times when they were younger, but he'd stopped coming when he married my mother - she did not approve of such goings-on at all.
He looked down at my genitals and smiled - I was no longer soft either.
He told me to watch the other men and boys - I'd see what he meant. I looked, and of course he was right. A group of boys my own age were playing with a beach ball - all completely unconcerned that some were flaccid while one or two most decidedly were not. The ball landed close to me and without thinking I jumped up, retrieved it and threw it hard at the nearest boy. He grinned and said "Thanks - do you want to play?" Moments later I was running around, totally unfazed by my nudity. After a while Father called out and asked if I'd like a swim. As we walked down the beach a tall bronzed man came striding out of the water. There were three striking things about him - he was deliciously endowed, he was shaved, and he was fully erect. I thought he was the most impressive thing I'd ever seen. Father saw me looking and smiled.
"You see what I mean about nudists?"
I smiled back.
Going naked into the cool water was simply wonderful, and the feeling of complete freedom as I swam - a revelation.
"Makes you never want to swim in a costume again, doesn't it?"
We were treading water a hundred yards from the beach, looking back at all those nude people.
"I'm so glad you brought me here"
"I thought it was time"
I went closer, put my arms round his neck and hugged him.
"Love you Dad"
"Love you too"
I felt part of him touch my thigh. Nice.
"Shall we go in?"
"Yes - but I'm going to be like that man was"
"That's alright - shows you're enjoying yourself"
We laughed together and swam for the shore.
I felt a moment of self-consciousness as I walked out of the shallows - I was still nicely aroused after that tender moment out in the sea. But then I looked at Father - he was just the same - only rather more so - and totally unconcerned.
We got back to the towels and dried off in the sun.
After a while Father looked down at my penis. Still three-quarters hard.
He knew the signs - the same thing happened when he caned me.
"I know what you need, but not here. Not with ladies watching. Go to the back of the beach - behind the rocks"
I got to my feet and did as he suggested - went to the rocky area. Which was when I discovered another thing about nude beaches. Those rocky bits are where the men and boys go for other pleasures. There were three boys there - ones that I had played ball with.
All naked.
All deliciously erect.
All looking at my penis, which for reasons I couldn't quite explain had become rock-hard.
"Hello Chris, we thought you'd end up here - saw you come out of the water with that nice stiffy"
He reached for me and stroked. I did the same to him.
"Yes - very nice. Pull me right back and do it hard - Oh that's lovely ...."
This was familiar territory.
I got back to the towels - minus my erection.
"Was that nice?"
"Yes thanks"
"Other boys there too?"
"I'm sure that made it nicer"
The taste was still in my mouth, and I liked that.
"Yes - It did"
He turned to me and smiled.
"I was your age once - and had all the same urges"
Suddenly I understood.
Not just the same urges.
We were the same.
"Yes Dad - I know"
My first day on a nude beach - just perfect.

In 2002, Delirious released the two disc live masterpiece Access:d.
With a tracklist spanning two discs of the best from Delirious' catalogue, the only thing
Access:d was missing was an accompanying DVD. After 8 years since filming their
previous live video (A View From The Terraces - not available in the US), Delirious have
decided that now is the time (no pun intended) to film a live DVD.
Within the packaging, the stated goal of this CD/DVD is to provide a raw and honest account of
the live Delirious experience, and Now is the Time accomplishes just that. This is most
notable on the CD, where the polished to perfection quality of Access:d is noticeably
missing. The difference in CD quality would be disappointing if this were just another live CD,
but here, the CD is more of a "bonus" than the main product. For me though, I find myself listening
to CDs more than watching DVDs, so I was most excited about the CD. After multiple listens to the CD,
the "raw" feeling has grown on me. That said, upon listening to Now is the Time, it becomes
clear that you are hearing these songs the way you were meant to - live. While the CD does a good job
of capturing fast songs like "Now is the Time" and "Paint the Town Red," it's the ballads that truly shine.
The DVD, on the other hand, is brilliant from beginning to end. The editors of Willow Creek
used 12 cameras to capture the gig. Despite the amount of cameras used, the editors avoided
"A.D.D. Editing," even when quick camera changes were necessary. The energy and passion of each
song are conveyed with every camera shot coming together perfectly to give the full picture on what
happened that night.
The bonus features on the DVD include "The Delirious? Story" - a 30-minute documentary of the
history of Delirious from their humble beginnings to where they are today and their goals for the
future - "Behind the Scenes at Willow Creek," and "Monitor Wall" - a behind the scenes look at
directing one of the songs.
With these bonus features and the live CD included, Now is the Time is the ultimate
Delirious? experience for long-time fans and beginners alike. If you've never been to a Delirious?
show, check this project out and see what you've been missing.

1. Can I use them on my bike? I don't think my tubes have slots, they just
have holes for the adjuster pin.
These clamps are designed for use without clamping slots. Each clamp has two
collar clamps built into one unit. One of the collar clamps is sized for the
outer tube, and the other collar clamp is sized for the inner tube. The outer
tube does not have to be squeezed down to grip the inner tube; the inner tube is
independently gripped by it's own clamp.
2. Are these strong enough? I'm a big rider.
Yes, no problem there. These clamps grip really well.
3. If clamps are such a good idea, why don't manufacturers use them?
Tradition, and cost. And, some manufacturers do use them, on their high end
4. Are they sold one at a time, or in pairs?
In pairs. It's the only reasonable way to do it.
5. How do I know which one to order?
It's important to know what tubing sizes you have. This isn't too difficult,
as the sizes go up in steps of 1/8 inch. If you can accurately measure or guess
the size of one tube, you can figure out the other one (it will be 1/8 inch
bigger or smaller). If you don't have a good way of measuring, you can print out measure your tubes
with our handy Tubing
Measurement Tool.
6. Can I use them for anything else?
Any place you want to clamp two telescoping tubes together. We've used them
on a garden tool to turn a fixed handle into an extension handle, and it worked great! In particular, the 3/4 inch into 7/8 inch tube combination opens up some interesting possibilities in attaching accessories to handlebars, since handlebars are 7/8 inch at the ends.
If you've ever lost a grenade pin, you know how frustrating it can be to find something to put in there to get you home. You can kiss that worry goodbye. And if you've ever wondered if your seat would be a little more comfortable if you could just move it a little bit, but the spacing between the grenade pin holes is a little much, or you've run out of holes, well, that's gone too. You can set your seat position to wherever you want it in as fine an increment as you'd like.
clamps slide on, then lock each tube independently. There are separate locking
bolts, one for each tube. The tubes
don't need clamping slots or any other changes. You can adjust your seat
wherever you want it in as fine an increment as you'd like. If you ever
take your seat off, it will automatically go back to exactly where it was, because the clamps can stay in place on the smaller tube.
Since the clamps
lock the tubes completely, the back of the seat becomes much more rigid. This
improves comfort, handling, and pedaling efficiency, all at the same time.
There are three
sizes of clamps:
If you have any questions about the sizes on your bike,
you can use our printed out Tubing
Measurement Tool.
If you have a Rans Bike due to the variety of configurations we strongly advise measuring first before ordering
Sold in pairs as a left and right set. 16 grams.
A 3mm Allen wrench is required to operate the clamp bolts.
Operation and use of the clamps is very simple:
1. Slip the larger end of the clamp over the large tube and lock it on.
2. Slip the smaller tube into the larger tube, then lock it in.
It is recommended that you ensure that at the smaller tube is inserted at least 2 diameters into the larger tube. This is comparable to or possibly smaller than the minimum insertion requirement on the grenade pins.
To remove and replace the seat easily:
1. Loosen the bolt on the larger tube 1 full turn.
2. Slide the smaller tube out of the larger tube, with the clamp still in place on the smaller tube.
3. When you want to reassemble things, simply slide the smaller tube into the larger tube until the clamp is seated around the larger tube again. Retighten the clamp to the larger tube. Everything is back to where it was.
These clamps are compatible with any bike that uses telescoping tubes that are either 1/2 to 5/8 inch, 5/8 to 3/4 inch, or 3/4 to 7/8 inch.
Bikes/Trikes with 1/2 into 5/8 Tubes: Bacchetta, Burley, Sun, Longbikes, some older Rans models
Bikes/Trikes with 5/8 into 3/4 Tubes: Newer Rans models, WizWheelz/TerraTrike pre 2012 models, and Barcrofts
Bikes/Trikes with 3/4 into 7/8 Tubes: 2012 and newer TerraTrikes and other larger rear strut machines
It does not matter whether the larger or smaller tube is on the top or the bottom. The clamps work either way.

Shane Watson will fly back to India this week to rejoin an Australia team who have lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after going down fighting in the last session of the third Test in Mohali.
India made hard work of chasing down a victory target of 133 from 36 overs, with Peter Siddle and Mitchell Starc bowling well – Starc after making his second significant batting contribution of the match.
MS Dhoni, after looking desperately unconvincing in making six from his first 25 balls, found his touch with three consecutive boundaries off Starc to secure a six-wicket win with 15 balls to spare.That gave India a 3-0 lead with one Test, in Delhi, to play, the first time they have won three Tests in a series against Australia.
Watson, the vice-captain, was one of four players dropped from the third Test after they failed to respond to a request for feedback from the team management. His decision to fly home to Sydney to be with his pregnant wife raised questions about his international future.
But Cricket Australia confirmed Watson had held talks with Pat Howard, the former rugby union international who is now its high performance manager, and reiterated his "burning desire to be an Australian Test player for as long as I can be". That would seem to remove any doubts about Watson's involvement in the Ashes tour of England in the summer.
Australia's captain, Michael Clarke, who had to drop down the batting order in their second innings because of a back problem, said: "We were outplayed again in this game but we certainly improved. The way we came out and fought with the ball was very pleasing."
After resuming their second innings on 75 for three, 24 behind, Australia appeared to be folding tamely at 143 for eight. But Starc, who had made a career-best 99 in the first innings, joined Brad Haddin to put on 36 for the ninth wicket and then added 44 with Xavier Doherty for the last.
India reached 103 for three but Dhoni's struggle to score put pressure on Sachin Tendulkar, who was run out for 21. But Ravindra Jadeja, who had taken three for 35 with his left-arm spin, hit a couple of boundaries before his captain refound his touch.
