The creative writing program at Colby offers students the opportunity to exercise their imaginations through disciplined work in the craft of writing. We aim to serve the novice writer as well as the more experienced student with two options for pursuing the discipline. The cocentration in creative writing within the English major provides a rigorous program for the serious writing student who wishes to develop sophisticated writing skills, while engaging in the study of literature in English. Typically, students take four or more classes in the writing of poetry, creative nonfiction, or fiction. Additional workshops are offered (on a rotating basis) in screenwriting, environmental writing, and feature writing. Playwriting may be taken through the Department of Theater and Dance. Special topics classes are also offered, and advanced students may pursue independent work, a service learning project, or an honors thesis. The minor in creative writing is open to non–English majors. In addition to the creative writing courses, non–English majors must take three allied English courses, mutually agreeable to the student and his or her creative writing advisor. The English Department offers a sizable number of courses and seminars in all literary genres and periods, providing students a variety of courses to fill the requirements.
All members of the writing faculty are dedicated, practicing, published writers. All classes are run, at least in part, as workshops in which students critique each other's work. Students experiment in class and out with forms of prose and poetry, while reading the work of professional writers to develop a critical vocabulary and to heighten editing and revising skills. Classes are limited to fifteen students, a size that promotes discussion, allows for individual attention, and helps develop a writing community in class and on campus. Writing teachers encourage frequent conferences to focus on individual progress and to suggest direction for student writing and reading.
Colby has a lively writing community. THE PEQUOD, the Colby student literary magazine, gives students the opportunity to improve critical skills, to edit, to learn layout and design, and to work closely with other student writers. THE PEQUOD also sponsors student readings during the school year. Additionally, through the Colby Visiting Writers Series and the annual Kristina Stahl Writer-in-Residence program, students meet with nationally known poets, novelists, and creative nonfiction writers who come to Colby to read from their work, to meet with students, and to visit classes. Among the visiting writers who have come to Colby in recent years are Edward Albee, Alison Bechdel, Susan Minot, Lorrie Moore, Eavan Boland, Linda Greenlaw, Tony Hoagland, Laura Kasischke, Cleopatra Mathis, Lewis Robinson, Robert Pinsky, Richard Russo, Gary Snyder, Joan Wickersham and Dean Young. Over the years we have had half a dozen Nobel Prize winners visit our campus and work with students.

The Cheating Mom Diaries
Diane, Mom of 3, tells all about her secret affair.
"I've been married for almost five years, and have three adorable children. I'm 27 years old. And I have a boyfriend on the side. We've been together for about a year. It's hard to live a double life this way, but my husband cheated on me before we got married many times with lots of women. Deep down, I knew, but I never had proof. About two years after we got married, he told me about his flings. I felt so betrayed, worthless and unattractive. That's what sent me straight into the arms of another man.
My boyfriend is four years younger than me. We were just friends at first, but then one thing led to another, and we fell for each other. Hard. He shows me more love then my husband ever has, and makes me feel really beautiful. Even though I'm overweight, he's still super attracted to me. My husband and I have sex only about twice a month, but my boyfriend and I have sex three times a week.
Why haven't I left my husband? I can't afford to. I'm a stay-at-home mom, and it's really hard to get a job with three young children. Plus, it would hurt my kids if we got divorced. So I just stick with the routine. Sometimes, I do feel bad about the affair, but not as much as I used to. I have my married mother life, and then I have my other secret life. And I do my best to make sure those two worlds will never collide."

Easy tips to make your home senior friendly
Published on Wed, Feb 17, 2010
Read More
With more older Americans remaining in their homes as they age, it's important for their houses to be equipped to deal with their changing needs.
The number of Americans aged 65 and over will reach more than 70 million within the next 20 years, with almost all Baby Boomers (90 percent) hoping to live in their current home for as long as possible, according to statistics from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and AARP.
"With Boomers leading this trend of 'aging in place,' they are realizing home modifications are essential to maintain independence as they age," says Eric McRoberts, incoming chair of the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Committee on Design for Aging.
The AIA recommends Boomers make their homes and communities safe and navigable – despite age or physical ability – by following four steps:
Clear pathways
Remove clutter that can obstruct your home's pathways, such as plants, magazine racks and small home accessories. If one of the home's residents uses a walker or wheelchair, allow at least 36 inches between objects. Make sure to have lots of light to ease strain on older eyes and install wall switches at all room entry points.
Adopt a universal design
Small adjustments and basic retrofits can transform first or ground floors into everything a person needs – namely, a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Universally designed rooms feature elements such as dropped countertops, grab bars, level door handles, step-less entryways, wide hallways and curbless showers for safety and accessibility.
In multi-level homes, upstairs rooms are often converted into guest bedrooms or hobby areas that are seldom used. Using this rightsizing concept, McRoberts says, "An architect can help homeowners craft their physical environment so it's increasingly friendly to them as they age."
Get eco-friendly
Seniors also are encouraged to make eco-friendly adjustments to help lower energy costs.
"Boomers are an especially astute group when it comes to green building design and sustainability," says McRoberts. "Many make environmentally friendly purchases not just to save money, but because they see it as the right thing to do."
Some small changes with big impact include substituting traditional light bulbs with energy-efficient ones, replacing old appliances with Energy-Star certified appliances and making sure renovations involve environmentally friendly materials, such as bamboo flooring or VOC-free paint.
Good landscaping can create natural shading for the home, while tightly insulating doors and windows can significantly cut energy waste. A simple consultation with a professional can uncover additional ways to turn short-term investments into long-term savings.
Prepare your community
The record number of Americans expected to retire in the coming years, combined with their desire to stay in their homes, will result in sweeping changes to their houses as well as their communities. The concept of livable communities – areas containing cultural, civic and sporting activities connected by public transportation – is expected to gain momentum.
Boomers who lobby local leaders today for community friendly public bus systems, accessible parks and pedestrian friendly walkways will help themselves and others in the future.
"If Baby Boomers make senior-focused programs and initiatives a priority now, it will be a win-win, not just for their golden years, but for the entire community," says McRoberts.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A Union City woman led a state trooper on a high-speed chase that began here on Interstate 79 and ended 24 miles away when she crashed her car.
Ashley M. Dumas, 25, was travelling southbound on I-79 at 83 miles per hour in a 65-mile-per-hour speed zone.
When the trooper, who was parked and running radar, turned on his lights and siren, Dumas' car accelerated.
State police say Dumas had suspected heroin and multiple prescription medications in her possession.
She is charged with fleeing or attempting to elude police, possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence and multiple traffic violations.

This article was published during the 2008 Tour de France.
A typical active American burns somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 calories per day. For a Tour de France rider, it's more like 7,000 to 7,500 during a flat stage like Saturday's 122-mile Stage 14 from Nimes to Digne-les-Bains. For a mountain stage, such as Stages 15 to 17 in the Alps, a racer can torch as many as 9,000 calories.
While those riders who endure to the end of the 21-stage, 2,175-mile Tour inevitably look like gaunt versions of themselves before the event started, teams go to great lengths to replenish riders every day. To keep its riders fed, Team Garmin-Chipotle relies on guidance from team physiologist Allen Lim, PhD, and on Chef Willy Balmat, a team chef for decades who worked with Lance Armstrong's teams during each of his seven Tour de France victories.
"Every day, Chef Willy cooks breakfast at the hotel," says Mr. Lim, which many Americans would recognize as standard, but supercharged with simple carbohydrates for the coming race: brown or white rice, olive oil, eggs or omelets, oatmeal, muesli, yogurt, fruit, orange juice, coffee and tea. Historically, teams relied on pasta for their carb fix at every meal, but "we've really shifted away from pasta as our primary source of carbs," says Mr. Lim, although the team does still eat some. "A lot of people have a slight wheat or gluten intolerance," he says, which can cause an inflammatory response that hinders digestion-not a good thing when your goal is having calories absorbed as quickly as possible. For Team Garmin-Chipotle, rice is the new superfood.
After breakfast, Chef Willy goes shopping for fresh provisions, and then drives to the next hotel to begin preparing post-stage food and dinner for the team. The team also has a truck with a pantry, full fridge and freezer, and a small kitchen for on-the-fly food prep.
Before the Garmin-Chipotle racers start the stage, typically at noon or 1 p.m. in France, they top off with Clif sports drink and energy bars. Once rolling, the riders aim to consume enough fluids and calories-almost all in the form of simple sugars (high-glycemic carbohydrates)-during the race to avoid losing more than 3-percent of their body weight, the point at which performance can decrease significantly, says Mr. Lim. During the first half of the Tour, he says, Garmin-Chipoltle's team leader, American Christian Vande Velde, 32, has lost only 1.5 to 2 percent of his body weight each stage, a sign that he hasn't been severely dehydrating or depleting himself.
Fluid-wise, a rider will consume between 10 and 20 bottles per stage, says Mr. Lim, depending on weather conditions. Three-fourths of the 200 to 300 bottles prepared by the staff contain a precisely measured amount of Clif electrolyte sports drink, to provide 25 grams of carbohydrate or 125 calories per bottle. The rest contain water. "Water is for pouring on their head, face and back, or to help wash down the occasional Clif gel," he says, since every drink is seen as a chance to slip in extra calories.
For lunch, each rider receives a musette bag during the race filled with food and drink. Garmin-Chipotle's bags contain: 2 bottles, a small can of Coke, two Clif bars, 2 Clif gels, 2 bags of Clif Blok energy chews, paninis (bread filled with jam, ham and cream cheese), and 2 homemade rice cakes prepared by Mr. Lim. "A major shift we made this year is using savory food during the race, like the rice cakes, instead of the traditional junk food," says Mr. Lim, who rises at 6 a.m. each day to make the cakes from risotto rice, eggs, prosciutto, olive oil and seasonings. Mr. Lim cuts each tray of the mixture into squares and carefully wraps each in foil, so it can be easily opened by riders while on the bike.
"This is labor intensive, but well worth it," says Mr. Lim. "The guys have had very few stomach issues, and the savory flavor helps offset all the sugar they're consuming. For Christian, the rice cakes are his primary race food."
Post-stage on the team bus, which also has its own refrigerator, riders snack on white rice and eggs drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (which Mr. Lim says helps speed the rate the body is able to absorb precious energy stores) and also light, fresh dishes such as cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto or mozzarella and tomato caprese salad. "Christian always eats a big plate of rice with honey and Siracha hot sauce, and eggs," says Mr. Lim. In addition, riders drink a protein and carbohydrate shake, and a Clif electrolyte drink mixed with extra salt and potassium. "Fluid is huge," says Mr. Lim. "We make them drink a mandatory amount of 1.5 liters in the first hour off the bike."
After much pre-dinner snacking on food prepared by Chef Balmat, the team eats a dinner of rice, potatoes, fish or meat and vegetables.
Because the riders drink so much after each day's race and during the evening, Mr. Lim says that most get up in the middle of the night to answer nature's call, at which point they have been instructed to drink another bottle of carbohydrate-rich recovery drink. "It helps to feed them 400 to 500 calories in the middle of the night," Mr. Lim says.
When the riders wake up in the morning, they'll do it all again, knowing that there are only a few more days until they reach Paris.

Civil disobedience
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Civil Disobedience)
Civil disobedience refers to the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government or of an occupying power without resorting to physical violence.
- See also:
- Civil Disobedience, for the famous essay on the subject by Henry David Thoreau
- Crime
- Dissent
- Rebellion
- The defiance of established authority, religious and secular, social and political, as a world-wide phenomenon may well one day be accounted the outstanding event of the last decade.
- Hannah Arendt, Crises of the Republic (1969), "Civil Disobedience".
- Closely allied with this earnest longing to see and know the truth, is a kind of dignified and princely sentiment which forbids a mind, naturally well constituted, ... to yield obedience to any orders but such as are at once just, lawful, and founded on utility.
- Cicero, De Officiis, Book 1, § 13
- Social protest and even civil disobedience serve the law's need for growth. Ideally, reform would come according to reason and justice without self-help and disturbing, almost violent, forms of protest. … Still, candor compels one here again to acknowledge the gap between the ideal and the reality. Short of the millennium, sharp changes in the law depend partly upon the stimulus of protest.
- Archibald Cox, Civil Rights, the Constitution, and the Courts (1967: Harvard University Press), pp. 22–23 (40 N.Y. State B.J. 161, 169 (1968)).
- Civil Disobedience is civil breach of unmoral statutory enactments. The expression was, so far as I am aware, coined by Thoreau to signify his own resistance to the laws of a slave state. . . . But Thoreau was not perhaps an out and out champion of non-violence. Probably, also, Thoreau limited his breach of statutory laws to the revenue law, i.e. payment of taxes. Whereas the term Civil Disobedience as practised in 1919 covered a breach of any statutory and unmoral law. It signified the resister's outlawry in a civil, i.e., non-violent manner . . . Until I read that essay I never found a suitable English translation for my Indian word, Satyagraha.
- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Young India (23 March 1931).
- Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, as quoted in Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr: The Power of Nonviolent Action (1999) by Mary King, p. 231.
- If a law commands me to sin I will break it; if it calls me to suffer, I will let it take its course unresistingly. The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians.
- Angelina Emily Grimké, Appeal to the Christian women of the South
Author (1836), p. 20.
- We must obey God rather than men.
- Luke the Evangelist, Acts 5:29
- Men of the most renowned virtue have sometimes by transgressing most truly kept the law.
- John Milton, Tetrachordon (1644-45).
- Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
- Paul of Tarsus, letter to the Romans 13:8
- I died to the law so that I might live for God.
- Paul of Tarsus, letter to the Galatians 2:19
- There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture.
- That which is not just, is not Law; and that which is not Law, ought not to be obeyed.
- Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison … the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor.
- Henry David Thoreau, in Civil Disobedience (1849).
- Thoreau's disobedience is disobedience as refusal. I won't live in your world. I will live as if your world has ended, as indeed it deserves to end. I will live as if my gesture of refusing your world has destroyed it.
- Curtis White, "The spirit of disobedience: An invitation to resistance," Harper's, April 2006, p. 36
- Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made.
- Oscar Wilde, "The Soul of Man under Socialism," ¶ 9

The community thinks...
Great Entry Level Luxury Sport Car by Teattle on 03/09/2005. Trim: 2005 Acura RSX Type-S, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I love the way the seats seem to hug your body. The type S can really get up and go when you need it too! Also, the handling is great... it really hugs the road and corners well. There is a lot of storage space in the back (especially with the back seats down) which is another nice feature. Gas mileage is excellent when compared to the power the car has.
Cons: The blind spot is huge and takes some mirror adjustments and time to get used to. It would be nice of there was an armrest in the middle too, but that's a minor complaint.
Overall review: I highly recommend this car!! The 05 RSX-S is an excellent car for the price. Buy one!!

There are certain events on my calendar that I look forward to year after year. SEMA is the light at the end of the tunnel, the last hoorah for the year. Besides partying for five days straight into the wee hours of the morning, SEMA gives me the opportunity to get story ideas for the following year. For me, SEMA is like an oversized Wal-Mart with thousands of new products and hundreds of exhibitors.
My coworkers often joke about the size of my shopping cart this year. As I am the hunter/gatherer type, searching and harvesting for any new gizmo or accessory to test or preview in the magazine. This year was sort of a disappointment in my eyes compared to previous years.
First, I would like to point out the good things I saw at SEMA. Design Engineering Inc. unveiled the C02 driven turbocharger. Still in the developmental stages the C02 turbocharger is spun by compressed air, which is capable of producing two to three psi of boost pressure. By incorporating a staged system, after running the turbocharger, the leftover gases are still extremely cold which can still be used to chill the charge air and fuel rail before discharging on the intercooler for further cooling benefits.
We went to check out the DEI booth for the company's revolutionary product. DEI has tested the system on Dave Buscher's RWD Eclipse dragster with positive results and plans to further research the possibilities of the C02 turbo system. We can't wait to try out the new system once it's operational.
If you are a 350Z owner and a horsepower junkie you will be glad to know that there are nearly a half-dozen supercharger or turbo kits now available for the Nissan. The two, new forced-induction kits we found to be exceptional are the Turbonetics' single-turbo system and APS' twin-turbo kit. Both kits generate about 360 to 375 horsepower to the rear wheels on 91-octane juice through the factory exhaust.
We took a spin in the Turbonetics 350Z and will be the first to tell you the system is flawless. Unlike other turbo or supercharger kits available on the market that utilize an aftermarket piggyback computer for fuel enrichment the Turbonetics kit comes with a reflashed ECU for complete engine management. This is one reason why the Turbonetics system drives like a stock car until the hammer is dropped. When you do hold on it is because the single turbo spools up quickly and tire spin is inevitable.
APS' twin-turbo system is also an impressive system, the company claims 400 horsepower with 93-octane fuel. The turbos are big enough to supply enough airflow for 600 ponies with the right fuel and tuning.
In the electronics department we were most impressed with Pioneer's Avic-N2 unit, the successor to the Avic-N1. The Avic-N2, like the Avic-N1, is a head unit that offers DVD, navigation and audio capabilities but takes it one step further with real time traffic updates. The Avic-N2 is capable of informing the driver where an accident has occurred and give the driver alternate routes.
By utilizing XM technology the Avic-N2 relays accident and congested traffic information, cutting your commute time. For those who have already purchased the Avic-N1 and can't live without the traffic feature don't be upset because Pioneer is going to offer upgraded software and hardware for the N1 unit. The only drawback is that in order for the traffic software to work you need a subscription to XM.

Floor Fetish Crew is not only a crew that practices and trains together, but one made up of the closest of friends. Working with CustomInk was an extremely easy and positive experience.

-Jori Finkel on AP Faculty member Mickalene Thomas in the LA Times
Art Practice faculty member Mickalene Thomas has a solo show, "Mickalene Thomas: Origin of the Universe" opening at the Santa Monica Museum of Art on April 14.
Revay by Art Practice faculty member Mickalene Thomas will be featured as an "Art Break" on MTV in a series co-organized by MoMA PS1 and Creative Time.
Art Practice faculty member Mickalene Thomas will be showing Afro Goddess With Hands Between Legs (2006) in Configured, a group show at Benrimon Contemporary opening March 1.
Gary Simmons, Mickalene Thomas, (AP faculty) and Glenn Ligon (AP mentor) are featured in 30 Americans at the Corcoran Museum. According to the museum's website,
30 Americans is a wide-ranging survey of work by many of the most important African American artists of the last three decades. Selected from the Rubell Family Collection, the exhibition brings together seminal figures such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and David Hammons with younger and emerging artists such as Kehinde Wiley and Shinique Smith. Often provocative and challenging, 30 Americans focuses on issues of racial, sexual, and historical identity in contemporary culture. It explores how each artist reckons with the notion of black identity in America, navigating such concerns as the struggle for civil rights, popular culture, and media imagery. At the same time, it highlights artistic legacy and influence, tracing subject matter and formal strategies across generations.

George Lucas Engaged To Longtime Girlfriend Mellody Hobson
George Lucas has let go of "Star Wars" and is now starting another chapter in his life – an upcoming marriage.
The famed director, who sold his "Star Wars" franchise to Disney last year, is engaged to Mellody Hobson, HuffPost Celebrity reported.
Lucas was previously married to Marcia Lucas from 1969 to 1983. This marks the first marriage for Hobson, a businesswoman and a financial contributor on "Good Morning America."
The couple has been dating for seven years.
In December Access Hollywood caught up with Lucas and found out that his role as a creative consultant on the next "Star Wars" movie should be a walk in a galactic park for the director.
"[If the filmmakers ask],'Who's this guy?' I can tell them," he told Access at the time. "I mean, they have a hundred encyclopedias and things, but I actually know a lot. I can say, 'This is this and this is that.'"
The filmmaker said that answering questions about the more remote characters of his beloved galaxy may be where his involvement ends.
"Basically I'm not — I don't really have much to do," he added.
In related news, find out the direction Access is hoping the next "Star Wars" movie – set to hit theaters in 2015 – goes, HERE!

Out of Stock
Item # PLZ1187
This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Winter Bike Gloves in stock than that.
Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Softshell Lite Gloves $0.00
Protection with connection.
Cold weather gloves are often bulky and detract from your connection to the bicycle. Pearl Izumi, however, isn't new to cycling-specific gear, and its line of gloves have enjoyed more then a decade of refinement. The P.R.O. Softshell Lite Glove continues that tradition of improvement with the addition of Pirmaloft insulation.
Primaloft adds warmth, but most importantly, it's not bulky, so it won't detract from your grip by bunching or overlapping. Pearl's respected anatomical paneling also ensures the P.R.O. Soft Shell Lite has excellent dexterity for effortless shifting and braking. Finally, sealing the deal, is a Pittards leather palm for a superior tactile and durable connection with your bicycle.
On the other hand ... er, both hands, sealing this cold-weather glove from external elements, is Pearl's P.R.O. soft shell material. This, and a waterproof insert, ensure wind and water won't dampen your ride. But, defense from foul weather doesn't complete a cycling-specific glove, it's always a good thing to remind two-ton moving cages you're on the road too.
When it's cold and damp it's more then likely going to be dark, so the Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Softshell Lite Glove has reflective elements to help alert motorists of your two-wheeled presence. A soft wiping surface on the thumb ensures you won't scare the barista when you stop for a mid-ride warm up.
The Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Softshell Lite Glove comes in sizes X-Small through XX-Large.

Love the gloves, the design and the fit/shape. Got the orange pair. Was looking for waterproof gloves, and this says "waterproof insert". It was a light to moderate rainy day in winter but my hands got completely soaked, wet and cold. Oh well. I still don't regret buying them since they stay pretty warm, warmer than my Nike thermo gloves. Because I love the design, I wear them everyday for walking my Basenji, etc. as well. ;)
Flexible fit

Gloves ride really well - snug, good dexterity, and comfortable. Wish Backcountry had the temperature rating posted as i was aiming for a warmer pair. In Berkeley, CA it's been fine most winter. Finger were cold in the low 40's (with wind). Gloves have done well wet too - not too heavy or bulky.

Pearl isn't a trendy brand, but these are darn good gloves.
Hands are easily comfortable down to 40 degrees, and they will work into the mid-thirties without pain or loss of feeling.
I really appreciate the minimalist feel. No padding or gel. And they are thin enough to give great feel and control on the bike.
Fit is solid - Large has plenty of finger length without getting too wide or sloppy at the same time. Perfect gloves are hard to find.
Love these gloves!

Been using these gloves for the past 8 months, commuting daily to work, for long training rides on the weekends, and absolutely love them. They've held up very well. Very good wind protection. Would definitely buy this again if they ever wear out. I've had a pair of Sugoi's before, and they were trashed within 3 rides.
The real deal.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had these gloves a just shy of a year and have used them dozens of times. Pretty much as described, they block wind and keep your hands warm while having essentially zero bulk. One issue I have with many gloves is large seams that feel awkward on your fingers. These gloves don't have that problem at all - they are incredibly comfortable.
I wear these gloves from the upper 40's to 60F. Last week I did a 40 mile ride in light rain in 45 degree weather with these gloves and my hands did get a little cold towards the end, so that's probably the lower limit for me. I haven't worn them in heavy rain for extended rides so I can't comment on their performance in that case.
Overall I have yet to be let down by these gloves, they're probably the one piece of cycling gear I am most happy with.
Update 8/9/2013:
Another half of a year of heavy use and these gloves are still great. I wore them every other day on a 2400 mile tour through British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska and they were perfect. When I arrived in Alaska I climbed Denali and wore these as my main gloves low on the mountain for climbing, digging anchors, and making snow camp with ice axes and shovels. They're showing some wear but are still amazingly comfortable, warm, and breathable.

Sample about how to retrieve Multiple Keys using the C client
We have been testing the C example in the couchbase documentation and so far so good.
We would like to be able to retrieve more than one Key in one call to lcb_get(...)
I was unable to find any example for the C client so we have wrote something which is working but I would like to know if this is the right approach. Below some snippets of the code with the relevant parts
//==== Conforming keys ======
lcb_get_cmd_t cmdReq;
lcb_get_cmd_t cmdResp;
const lcb_get_cmd_t * const commands[2] = { &cmdReq, &cmdResp };
memset(&cmdReq, 0, sizeof(cmdReq));
memset(&cmdResp, 0, sizeof(cmdResp));
counter = 1; //
cmd.v.v0.key = "foo";
cmd.v.v0.nkey = 3;
cmd.v.v0.key = "foo1";
cmd.v.v0.nkey = 4;
err = lcb_get(instance, NULL, 2, commands);
//==== Callback function for get ========
static void get_callback(lcb_t instance,
const void *cookie,
lcb_error_t error,
const lcb_get_resp_t *resp)
if (error != LCB_SUCCESS) {
ShowMessage("Failed to retrieve Key.\nError:" + String(lcb_strerror(instance, error)));
} else {
if (counter == 1) {
keyValueReq = keyValueReq.assign((const char *)resp->v.v0.bytes, resp->v.v0.nbytes);
} else {
keyValueResp = keyValueResp.assign((const char *)resp->v.v0.bytes, resp->v.v0.nbytes);
This code is working ok so far and as you can see, we are using this "counter" variable to differentiate between the values associated to each of the keys BUT
1- Is ok to assume that the calls to get_callback(...) function will be executed in the same order as the keys in the "commands[]" variable?
2- Is this the best solution or would you suggest a different approach?
3- How much faster is the retrieving of multiple Keys at a time when compared to individual retrieves?
Thanks a lot
1 Answer
1. no, callbacks are executing in order the packets received back and parsed. It might seem like they are in order while you are using single server, but you will quickly notice difference when your keys will be hashed to different nodes
2. probably better solution will be to allocate the structure, which could be filled out of the order. For example, use some of hash map implementation, when you will leverage key in the callback to get position where to insert result. Or just do lookup the key among known and ordered array of keys (commands array in your case).
3. obviously they are faster, because they will be likely transferred with the single syscall (like sendmsg(2)), more likely will fit single TCP transfer unit. but of course you should benchmark it in your sandbox.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Izmir Shore Excursion: Private Tour to Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary and Temple of Artemis. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
When they say private..they mean private! It was me, my guide Inan and the driver in a Mercedes mini-van. I have to admit that I was blown away with the scenery on the drive friom the port to the Ephesus area. Reminded me of the Colorado Rockies in certain areas. First stop was to the House of the Virgin Mary to avoid the crowds. Very interesting place in a beautiful setting, Then we heading to the Ephesus site itself which is right down the road. Once you enter, it is a down hill walk through the area and the amazing thing is that only a small part has been excavated so far. I must have taken 300 photos in this site alone. It was also nice having Inan as my private guide getting a locals perspective of the area and the site. We also toured a turkish rug making factory and a pottery shop in which you can get some great deals. A full day of fun that is highly recommended
This tour got a 5 star rating due to our guide, Oscar. He was very knowledgeable about what to see, how to tour away from the crowds but still see everything and gave us a history lesson we will never forget. We we asked where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see on our own time. He was patient with us and made sure we had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend Oscar.
Our guide was outstanding and the tour was the best . Loved the area and the people .

She's accused of crashing the security gates surrounding Sky Harbor Airport.
Police say Koko Anderson took a wild ride through Sky Harbor, plowing past barriers into unauthorized areas, and she had her newborn in the back seat during the wild ride.
What was she thinking? And how was she able to get in there?
This is a bizarre story, but surveillance video just released will show this was all perfect timing.
If this happened 5 second later, she never would've got past the gate. It just so happens this gate was being fixed right at the time she crashed through.
At first she doesn't make it past, but Anderson doesn't give up. With her 2-month old son in the backseat, she hits the gas and speeds onto the runway.
It all started in the east economy lot right next to terminal 4. For some reason Anderson was driving around this lot when she decided to leave. Only she didn't pay, she blew right through this security arm.
The security arm comes right off with little or no damage to the car. Anderson keeps driving. Police say she was driving under the influence, didn't know where she was, or that her baby was even in the car with her.
Driving out of the east economy lot you can only go left to catch the freeways. The problem is Anderson went straight and right into gate 119.
Gate 119 has two layers of security. Seconds before Anderson pulled up, a worker just happened to be fixing the gate. He lifted the steel security arm and opened the gate. As it was closing, Anderson plowed through. Police sprang into action, ramming her Saturn and stopping her in minutes.
Police arrested Anderson about a mile north of where she rammed the gate off of the northeast corner of the runway right.
Police say she had her baby's pacifier in her mouth and refused to talk to them. Anderson's mom says the 21-year-old has some mental health issues.
"I just don't want to see her in a system that doesn't validate the illness I believe she has, which is a chemical balance which is out of her control," says mother Bebe Anderson.
The 2-month-old baby wasn't hurt. He is in the custody of CPS. Anderson was jailed on charges of trespassing and DUI.

IG turns 'blind eye' to DFAS' fudged financial records, Grassley reports
Tuesday - 11/26/2013, 6:59am EST
In addition to potentially falsified financial statements, Grassley reported on the possibility of audit misconduct at DoD. In a press release, the senator said the department's inspector general "seems to have turned a blind eye" to the inaccuracies in DFAS' financial records.
"Audits are a primary oversight tool for rooting out fraud and waste in the government. To protect taxpayers, these government audits must be as good as they can be," Grassley wrote in a joint letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and DoD IG Jon Rymer.
In Grassley's staff oversight report, he found the work performed by DFAS to be substandard.
"Instead of helping identify where savings can be made, it looks like the Defense Finance and Accounting Service may be trying to hide its own problems by pretending their books are in order."
— Sen. Chuck Grassley
The report also said the outside CPA firm used defective audit methods to assess DFAS' practices. Grassley speculated the IG buckled under pressure from DFAS when it tried to conduct oversight on the agency, thus compromising the integrity of the audit process.
"As long as the Inspector General's audit shop remains weak and ineffective, the probability of rooting out much fraud and waste during sequestration is very low," he said. "And, instead of helping identify where savings can be made, it looks like the Defense Finance and Accounting Service may be trying to hide its own problems by pretending their books are in order and then running roughshod over anybody who dares to question their 'clean' audit."
The quality of DoD's IG audits is not a new issue.
"They've made a lot of progress. However, they still have a very, very long way to go," Maj. Gen. Arnold Punaro told Francis Rose on Pentagon Solutions. "So we shouldn't be looking as much at how far they've come, but how far they still have to go."
From 2010 to 2012, Grassley received many anonymous reports from whisteblowers, suggesting weak or falsified IG reports in DoD. In April 2012, Grassley received allegations of misconduct on audits of DFAS' financial statements.
"DFAS' apparent inability to accurately report on its own internal 'housekeeping' accounts of $1.5 billion casts doubt on its ability to accurately report on the hundreds of billions DoD spends each year - as it is required to do under the law," Grassley's report said.
Grassley said his review of the IG audit reports is a "mere snapshot," but it could likely be characteristic of the work performed by DoD's IG as a whole.
"DoD does not know and does not track what it costs them to do activities. They don't know what the full burden cost of an active duty personnel is, they don't know what the full burden cost of a defense civilian is," Punaro said. "You have to know what things cost. If you don't know that, you're not going to be able to make the improvements."
Punaro said the agency could more easily make the improvements by modernizing its practices and technology.
"DFAS, like a lot of other elements of the Department of Defense, is mired in antiquated procedures, antiquated technology that do not measure up to world class business standards that we use in modern business to deal with these kind of issues," he said.
The issues with oversight are not limited just to DoD, Punaro said. "The lack of accountability in government is a huge issue. And we see it on everything from the [HealthCare.gov] website, the rollout of the new health care plan. ... They are not using world class business practices."
Fake numbers add up to trouble for DFAS
Leadership from the top, well-trained workforce are key to DoD audits, experts say

Edward Abbey once described the deserts of southwest Utah as, "Light and space without time, I think, for this country with only the slightest traces of human history." Join us, and find out what Abbey meant: Mountain biking slowly and exposed to nature's elements is the ideal way to take in the spirit of this land.
Traveling from the high-desert outpost of Boulder, Utah, to Goblin Valley State Park, we'll experience a small corner of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument before descending the multiple switchbacks of the Burr Trail. This gravel road cuts dramatically through the Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile-long monocline that defines the geology of Capital Reef National Park. We'll traverse some of the most spectacular and remote scenery of the American West, experiencing red-rock hoodoos cast in unimaginable configurations, slot canyons, and petroglyphs carved into the sandstone.
Join us for this spectacular new tour! It will be 130 miles you'll never forget.

Boulder, Utah. We'll be picked up by the Adventure Cycling van in Grand Junction, Utah, and shuttled 240 miles through Capital Reef National Park and over Boulder Mountain. Time permitting we can visit Boulder's Anasazi Indian State Park, which showcases artifacts and ruins of the Ancestral Pueblo people who inhabited the Four Corners region more than 800 years ago. We'll spend the night at Boulder Mountain Lodge surrounded by an infinite wilderness of desert and mountains.
Boulder to Grand Staircase-Escalante, 30 miles. Setting out on our ride of discovery, we'll depart Boulder and roll onto the legendary Burr Trail, following a route blazed by John Burr to move his cattle between summer and winter ranges. The terrain on either side of the trail could well have given rise to the expression "hell of a place to lose a cow."
Escalante/Grand Staircase to Cedar Ridge, 34 miles. After breakfast, we'll pedal on to Capitol Reef National Park. In the distance, the Henry Mountains rise from the bleak brown desertscape like a verdant timbered island. After negotiating a series of switchbacks that crawl down a virtual rock wall, we'll reach the bottom and look back up, wondering, "how did they ever build a road going up that thing?" Tonight we'll stay at the laid-back Cedar Mesa Campground. With any luck, the late-day sun will ignite Tarantula Mesa to the east, illuminating it in a fiery orange glow.
Cedar Ridge to Cainville, 30 miles. Come morning, we'll continue north on the Notom-Bullfrog Road, weaving our way along back-country roads into Goblin Valley State Park before joining the classic Cathedral Valley mountain-bike route. Tonight we'll set up another makeshift camp in the warm desert sun of early autumn and enjoy a restful sleep in cool temperatures beneath a star-filled sky.
Cainville to Muddy Creek, 18 miles. Today, we'll squeeze to the northeast between North Caineville Mesa and North Caineville Reef. The flat-topped formation of orange-brown sandstone is one of the most prominent landforms in what is otherwise largely barren mudflats. In fact, the wide-open landscape here is some of the starkest terrain in Utah. Tonight we'll camp along the banks of Muddy Creek.
Muddy Creek to Goblin Valley State Park, 16 miles. This morning we'll follow Wild Horse Road, which leads all the way to Goblin Valley State Park. The park may be our final destination, but not the end of our ride. It's a short day, but the off-route options for exploring roads and trails are many. A visit to the collection of soft sandstone "goblins" inhabiting the park can make for an excellent after-dinner hiking and photography outing. So alien is the setting that 1999's Galaxy Quest, a sci-fi parody/cult film, was filmed in Goblin Valley.
Layover day. The San Rafael Swell, part of the greater Colorado Plateau physiographic region, is home to a maze of slot canyons and sand washes to explore. With over 3,000 square miles, it's doubtful we'll have time to explore them all! The 18-mile loop encircling nearby Temple Mountain is a terrific ride, passing pictographs on canyon walls and descending through a sand wash, making it a great wrap-up ride of the area.
Shuttle day. Today we'll be shuttled back to Grand Junction from Goblin Valley. Yes, our time in Utah is almost over, but chances are you'll be back. Rare is the individual who can visit this region once and not return again and again.
This is a new tour, or one we have not offered in awhile. Sign up and be one of the first cyclists to contribute to this testimonials page! For now read what past tour participants have said about some of our other trips.
"Getting to know a new group of people is always a highlight. As the trip begins the biggest thing we have in common is our bikes and our interest in touring ... by the end of the trip we discover other interests and even differences that make for a fun and interesting dynamic."
"I thoughly enjoyed all aspects of the trip, but I most enjoyed the great group of fellow participants."
2012 Tour Participant
"This was a great event. The mix of riding, scenery, hiking, and social opportunities on this tour plus great staff made for a very special trip. This was my first tour, and it was excellent, and will undoubtedly lead to more."
2008 Tour Participant
"Tour leaders were an excellent combination. Very knowledgable, approachable, and went beyond what was expected of them which was greatly appreciated."

All three now are students at the University of California's newest campus. They say they were drawn to UC Merced because of its size, age, academics and wide range of research and other opportunities.
Sharing the same campus was just another bonus, say the trio from Ridgecrest in northeastern Kern County.
"It's great having my family at UC Merced," said Erin, 26.
Their mother, Mary, helped lead the way. A coworker recommended the campus, and Mary thought the small community would be an advantage for Justin, who was first to enroll at UC Merced.
Mary said she and her husband, Keith, never dreamed that all three of their children would wind up on the same campus.
"But I think it has been great that they have each other as a support system," she said. "And we only have one academic calendar and one place to travel to visit."
Justin, 21, arrived on campus in Fall 2008. Dylan, 19, and Erin — who transferred after community college — arrived in Fall 2010.
Now, the two brothers are roommates and also work at the university library. Sister Erin isn't far away — she works in the bookstore.
The siblings also are separated by their academic choices. Each is pursuing a major in a different school (Engineering, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts). All three say they've had great opportunities at UC Merced that might not have been available on another campus.
Dylan, who is majoring in biological sciences [1], said he's enjoyed the chance to form relationships with professors and teaching assistants.
Justin made a lasting connection with David C. Noelle [2], an assistant professor in the School of Engineering, after expressing interest in his research. He began working for Noelle about a week after meeting with the professor during his sophomore year.
"I'm not sure that would have been as easy or as quick at another university," said Justin, who is studying computer science and engineering.
Erin, a senior majoring in anthropology [3], made a similar connection. Last summer, she and several other UC Merced students traveled to Belize to take part in an archaeological project with Holley Moyes [4], an assistant professor in the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts.
"There are a lot of opportunities to work closely with professors," she said.
Commencement is next for Erin, who will finish in 2012 and plans to attend graduate school and pursue a career in archaeology.
Justin hopes to finish in 2013 and may consider graduate school. Dylan could graduate in 2014; he's considering a career in zoology.
For now, the three Ray siblings are enjoying college life and the chance to be together.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My kids go to this school. Great school. It is the most diverse school in town.
Fabulous school! Highly knowledgeable, caring teachers who really teach instead of relying on commercial materials and worksheets: Real books to teach reading and writing, hands on investigative science, math teaching that helps children really understand instead of just memorize, up to date technology, university interns in almost every classroom, involved parents, and a great principal who understands children and teaching. You can't get any better.
With 9 National Board certified teachers, a low student to teacher ratio, the ExCel student program and well as a PTA school of excellence award and Responsive Classroom and Responsible Thinking Process program, this is the best elementary school in the district
I have two children that attend Westwood (1st grade and 2nd grade). They are a little slow at providing requested testing and services, but overall it's a good school. All the teachers that my children have had are willing to work with my children and me on any subject at anytime. The PTA is spectacular!
I did my student-teaching at this school and I can't say enough good things about the teachers and students. The teachers I worked with were caring and innovative. I student taught at the second grade level, and you couldn't ask for better. The support staff such as the reading specialist and ESL teacher were just phenominal. The kids were wonderful as well. A truly great group, interested in learning, winning personalities, and wonderful friends and helpers to their peers. I would not hestitate to send my children to this school.
Westwood Elementary is a great school. There are plenty of activities that encourage learning in all aspects for the children that attend there from Pre-K on up. My son is currently in kindegarten and he is involved in Spanish class, guidance, P.E., and music just to name a few. Parental involvement is also exceedingly high. There is also a diverse mix of students enrolled at Westwood, so the kids get to see other children who are from different areas of the world-which is important.
