If Congress wants to check the temperature of government workers over the government shutdown, they may want to be monitoring the forecast from the National Weather Service in Alaska.A weather discussion posted Friday morning by the NWS in Anchorage, Alaska may have just included a secret message. The phrase "PLEASE PAY US" appeared in the 5 a.m. forecast in what could have been an acrostic message in light of the Federal shutdown.Business Insider reports they had attempted to get in contact with the National Weather Service office regarding the posted forecast discussion, but have not received an answer back.The NWS Anchorage, along with most of the other National Weather Service offices, mentions that NOAA.gov and associated websites are unavailable except for the forecasting agency's sites since they are "necessary to protect life and property."Do you think this was an intentional message to Congress? Is it inappropriate if it was? Let us know what you think. Leave a comment at facebook.com/FOX5Atlanta or on Twitter at @FOX5Atlanta.

country mountain bike racing in the US has tended to be dominated a
by a few big few big factory teams with backing from a major bike
brand. However, the husband and wife team of Daniel and Laura
Kindregan wanted to do something a bit different. Could they create a
team with a national presence that brought together dedicated
athletes and a mix of sponsors from both inside and outside the bike
result of that idea has been the Orbea-Tuff Shed Professional
Mountain Bike Team. For the last two years the team has been off to a
successful start, taking wins across the US. Team manager Laura
Kindregan was kind enough to take a few minutes to check in with
MTBRacenews about how the team started, this springs controversy over the UCI's proposed banning of pro racers in non-sanctioned races, and the challenges of
running an upstart pro team.
MTBRacenews.com:This is the team's second season, right? What was the impetus to
start Orbea Tuff Shed?
Laura Kindregan: It
is correct that this is the second year of the Orbea-Tuff Shed team.
The start of the team actually goes back to the first year of
the Pro XCT in 2009. Pro racer Daniel Kindregan travelled with
Kalan Biesel to Alabama for round two of the new USA Cycling Off Road
Series. When on the way home Kalan expressed his interest in racing
for an elite level national professional mountain bike racing team
the wheels started spinning. The fact was that there were only
a handful of elite level racing teams in the USA with many large
quality bicycle manufactures who were not being represented at the
races by top professionals. The fact is that building a ground
up mens professional racing team in the USA takes not only
creativity, yet also patience!
MTBRacenews.com:What are your team's goals for this season?
Laura Kindregan: This
year our team goals are rather simple, give back to our sponsors who
give us the opportunity to race the quality of products we use to win
races, while also bringing Tuff Shed into the world of sports.
Bringing in Tuff Shed was really the key to the team as far as
finding a sponsor outside of the industry that would actually have a
true return on their investment by reaching a new market by way of
our professional mountain bike racing team.
MTBRacenews.com:Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Had you managed
teams before Tuff Shed? Why did you get into the team management
Laura Kindregan: I
grew up in sports, competing in tennis and following my dad play
squash at the national level. I have been in management roles
for a long time. I managed professional musicians and ran my own
public relations firm that I started from the ground up with my
husband Daniel, which we currently run, called Go Ahead Public
Relations. These experiences really gave me the confidence to
be able to grow with the team while having the willingness to reach
out to people in the industry and build a top level professional team
that was different than the traditional sponsorship formula that
mountain bike racing in the USA had fallen victim to.
MTBRacenews.com:Your riders enter a lot of unsanctioned races, how nervous were
you about USA Cycling's potential enforcement of UCI rules banning pro racers from attending non-sanctioned events?
Laura Kindregan: Our
riders do indeed enter numerous non-USA Cycling sanctioned races and
do very well at these events while also having a blast to boot. I
would say that we were not nervous about the UCI rule 1.2.019 in the
sense that our pursuit of the sport comes from a love for the sport
and not a need to put food on the table. We strongly support
USA Cycling and applaud their efforts to continue to keep a national
series, while also hosting numerous national championships on dirt
that are in a multitude of marvelous locations full of beautiful
trails (not to mention the effort that so many other individuals,
especially the volunteers, invest in events).
MTBRacenews.com:Had the rule been enforced, would your riders have purchased USA
Cycling licenses this year?
Laura Kindregan: With
out a doubt our racers would have purchased USA Cycling licenses had
the UCI rule 1.2.019 been enforced. We as a team have faith in
the sanctioning body that comes from the same spring that has brought
forth our belief that we could build a top level men's professional
mountain bike racing team from hard work and discipline. Our
job is to have fun racing while selling our sponsors products by way
of wining, yet also explaining to prospective buyers why the products
we use are the best and how they can be used to make riders and
racers alike enjoy the entire cycling experience from riding to
storing their equipment.
MTBRacenews.com:At this point there is a one year reprieve, but both USA Cycling
and the UCI say it will be enforced next year? Do you see that
happening? What, in your mind, can be done to avoid creating a replay
of this spring?
Laura Kindregan: Our
focus is to race bikes this year and let the professional sanctioning
bodies come to terms with how racing in the United States of America,
the homeland of off-road racing, will be managed. We are certain that
the gap will be closed at some point, and we will be racing for many
years to come at whatever races are going to benefit our riders and
prospective buyers of our sponsors products.
MTBRacenews.com:How would you assess the state of sponsorship in American
mountain biking?
Laura Kindregan: Unfortunately
we believe that the state of sponsorship in American mountain bike
racing is not what it could be or what it once was. What we are doing
is trying to set a precedent that the sport has value and provides
great returns for those who choose to invest their time in racing.
What we have chosen to do is lead by example in the sense that we as
a team have come together and used all of our resources to think
creatively and approach companies that could use the exposure of a
team that not only creates new concepts like the sports shed, but
also follows through with its proposed agenda.
MTBRacenews.com:Do you have any riders racing enduro this season? Is that
something you're looking at as a potential discipline?
Laura Kindregan: We
definitely see enduro as a discipline now. It is one of the
waves of the sport that sort of comes and goes from within. As
you have seen what used to be the 24 hour craze is now the enduro
scene. A couple of our riders, Tim Allen and Tyler Coplea, are
planning on racing some enduro races. The advantage of racing
for Orbea is that there deep selection of bikes to choose from. The
new twenty-nine inch Orbea Occam that comes in carbon is going to be
the choice weapon for the enduros for sure.
MTBRacenews.com:What do you look for in a race when working with riders to create
their schedules?
Laura Kindregan: Creating
a racing schedule is certainly easier said than done. I make
sure that I give racers more room to decide what they want to do than
other team owners. I believe that works out best for the riders and
sponsors in that most of our racers know what they want to train for
and how it works with their own travel and budget. The
advantage here is that when one of our racers is at a race that they
really want to be at, they glow with joy and are that much more of a
benefit to themselves, yet also our sponsors. Creating early season
team races is something that we strive for, so that the riders are
able to get to connect with one another and begin to create mutual
travel plans and really start to work as a team.
MTBRacenews.com:What direction do you see mountain bike racing in the US moving
in the next five years?
Laura Kindregan: Mountain
bike racing in the next five years is something that is bound to
twist and turn just like the trails that racers zip through. The
sport itself will continue to be a strong foundation for the weekend
warrior, as cycling in general is such a healthy lifestyle that
promotes and creates lifelong friendships as well as strong bodies
and minds. The nice thing about mountain bike racing in the USA is
that it is not tainted with outrageous overpaid superstars that are
out of this world. The sport here consists of down to earth, hard
working, dedicated athletes who love the sport for as many reasons as
there are racers. I am certain that festivals will continue to be a
mainstay for racing as it combines elite competition within a family
friendly environment, in all honesty my hope is that the sport itself
remains something of the legend it has become here.
MTBRacenews.com:What's been the biggest challenge for you in running the
Orbea-Tuff Shed team?
Laura Kindregan: Running
the Orbea-Tuff Shed team has been a challenge in many ways,
especially when it comes to mid-winter contracts with sponsors and
the racers who are anxious to get on their machines and kick up some
dust! I would say that the ability to see the value in the long hours
and travel needed to accomplish what we have has been difficult at
times when we are not where we thought project should be, which is
the case so often in every individual's life. But the fact of the
matter is that we are right on target here. Our team is well
recognized within the sport and our two main sponsors Orbea and
Tuffshed are seeing increased sales as a result of what we have
created. This is something that rarely happens in this sport, and we
are turning heads here early in the game as far as our existence is

Neighbors, elected leaders and engineers are once again trying to figure out why the Turkey Creek levee system isn't working the way it should.
"During this recent storm, we had the gates closed in an ample amount of time, but the water still kept rising," said Wayne Gulfport Assistant City Engineer Wayne Miller. "So we're trying to see if we have something under the tracks, a pipe that may be contributing to the water that was coming inside the levee during the storm."
After city engineers walked through the pipes that are supposed to keep water from coming into the neighborhood, they came to a dead end. The pipe that was thought to be the problem was actually sealed shut, putting them back at square one.
Pat Robins of the Army Corps Mobile District said improving the levee and adding pumps could make all the difference.
Under the Comprehensive Mississippi Recovery Program, upgrades to the levee system include raising it 21 feet, adding commercial pumps, clearing Turkey Creek so the water flows better and putting up a T-Wall along the rail road tracks.
All that work would cost almost $15 million, money dependent on Congressional approval of two bills. The Water Resource Development Act would authorize the army corps to go ahead with the project while the Energy and Water Appropriations bill would provide the funds.
But Robins said those bills have been stalled since 2007.

Should You Use an Ovulation Predictor Kit?
The pros and cons of OPKs
The Basics
OPKs work by detecting the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. In general, the level of LH rises just prior to ovulation. Using these kits during the range of possible ovulation times during the month allows you to pinpoint that surge and gives you an accurate estimate of when ovulation will occur.
For women who may be suffering from fertility issues, these kits help determine if ovulation is occurring at all. This can be confusing, but you can still have periods even if you don't ovulate, so even a regular cycle can be marked by an absence of ovulation.
OPK vs. BBT
When OPKs came on the market not too many years ago, they were seen as an important breakthrough in pinpointing fertility. This is because the most common method prior to the availability of measuring LH was basal body temperature (BBT) charting. With BBT, a woman knew she had ovulated when her temperature took a slight but steady rise. The main drawback to that method was that a woman only knew she had ovulated after she had already ovulated. As a result, BBT charts had to be kept over a period of several months and analyzed carefully to determine when she might possibly ovulate in any given time frame so that she could have intercourse before ovulation, which is considered the best time for conception. OPKs tell you beforehand, so you can plan accordingly.
Who Uses Them?
In most cases, OPKs are used by women who are trying to get pregnant, and fertility doctors often recommend them as one tool in the arsenal of fertility tracking. Dr. Angie Beltsos, of Fertility Centers of Illinois, says they do use them and recommend them as they're very helpful in determining the specific days of ovulation. "They aren't a perfect test, but they do help many women hone in on the time that ovulation is occurring," she says. "They can be problematic when there are fertility medications involved, but in general once it starts to turn positive, it's telling you that the surge is going to happen."
Dr. Beltsos says that it's important to be directed in how to use OPKs if you're on fertility medication, because there are different protocol for each procedure and each fertility drug.
The Cons
OPKs are extremely helpful for those who have normal cycles, which Dr. Beltsos defines as between 28 and 32 days. However, those with wildly irregular cycles may find them cost-prohibitive to use. While prices vary depending upon brand and supplier, in general you can expect to pay about $3 to $7 per test for those brands considered the most reliable.
Chrissy Wilson of San Diego, California, says she spent a small fortune on tests because of her irregular cycles. "I needed to test every day, sometimes for months; I could spend easily $200 per month," she says. "Finally, we invested in a computerized fertility monitor for about what it cost us for one month's worth of OPKs. It was definitely worth it for us."
Another feature that most women may see as convenient is one that you have to pee on a stick. And many women find it hard to decipher the results. Most tests have two side-by-side lines, and one line has to be read in comparison to the other. Dr. Beltsos agrees that this can be extremely confusing when the line is not definitive, and she often hears from couples who, even when working together, can't decide if it's positive or not. Dr. Beltsos' solution is to retest.
Tips for Using OPKs
- Figure out the best time of the month to test. To do this, take the number of days in your shortest cycle and count backwards by 14 to 16 days. That is the day to start testing.
- Test between noon and 8 PM. Do not use first morning urine.
- Do not test after drinking large amounts of liquid; hydration can affect the results.
- Once you get a positive test, there is no need to retest.
- Women with PCOS often get false positives. If you suspect that there is a problem, contact your doctor.
- Women who have irregular cycles or plan to use ovulation testing long-term for birth control may want to consider investing in a computerized monitor, which tends to be easier to interpret and may save money in the long run.

Definition of Risorgimento in English:
RisorgimentoSyllabification: Ri·sor·gi·men·to
Pronunciation: /rēˌzôrjəˈmenˌtō, -ˌsôr- /
The restoration of repressive regimes after the Napoleonic Wars led to revolts in Naples and Piedmont (1821) and Bologna (1831).With French aid the Austrians were driven out of northern Italy by 1859, and the south was won over by Garibaldi. Voting resulted in the acceptance of Victor Emmanuel II as the first king of a united Italy in 1861
Italian, literally 'resurrection'.

When the Chicago Bears report for training camp a week from Wednesday, they'll find some pleasant surprises.Those surprises include a bigger locker room and some safer footing on the practice fields.
Workers were at Olivet Nazarene University Monday morning, putting the finishing touches on the stadium field that's occasionally used for Bears practice games. An estimated $5 million has been spent on improvements at the Bears practice camp this year.
The Bears, who previously had three year-deals to practice in Bourbonnais, now have a ten year commitment.
"In our new ten-year agreement, there were some different things that the Bears needed to improve the camp, make it better, and really things that Olivet Nazarene University wanted for their athletes as well," said Director Gary Griffin of Alumni and University Relations.
Last year, the Bears for the first time were able to make use of the new Perry Center -- with its unique pool which helps with physical therapy -- and its large indoor gymnasium.
This year, the locker room has doubled in size. Two of the four practice fields have been leveled out and re-sodded. There's even a new laundry room and improvements at the front gate.
However, the Bears -- and their fans -- aren't the only ones who will benefit.
"We really enjoy having the Bears here. We want that to continue. I think we've shown that with a long term contract. But they are our secondary concern. Our students are our primary concern," Griffin added.
Among the changes the Bears will find here in a couple of weeks, on one of their playing fields the natural grass has now been replaced with new artificial turf.
But community leaders say there's nothing artificial about the economic boost provided by the Bears.
Pat Martin chairs an alliance of businessmen, who along with alumni donors and hotel taxes, helped pay for the improvements.
"We do some expos and things up in Chicago trying to bring folks down, and as you guys looked at that tower, that's part of our display, and a lot of people come up and say, oh, you're the summer home for the Bears," said Pat Martin of Economic Alliance of Kankakee County.

Living in the suburbs is no longer the American dream for 16.3 million people because of a decade-long shift in where the poor live.
A new Brookings Institution study found that the percentage of poor people in suburbs grew 65 percent since 2000 and now totals 16,361,075. In cities, where the percentage of the poor also grew — but by 30 percent in the last decade — the total is 13,359,850, or 29 percent of the nation's poor.
In a new book and podcast, Brookings found that the economy continues to push more people into poverty and that wages aren't keeping pace.
"Even working full-time doesn't necessarily guarantee you are going to be above the poverty line," said Brookings author Elizabeth Kneebone, a fellow with the Metropolitan Policy Program, in a new podcast promoting her book, Confronting Suburban Poverty in America, co-written with Alan Berube.
Their book comes on the 50th anniversary of former President Lyndon B. Johnson's "war on poverty," and is a blueprint for refocusing the battleplan. "Clearly there's still a lot of work to be done," said Kneebone.Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Striker Campbell silences Kop with winner.
To this day Kevin Campbell is lauded by Everton fans for the scintillating form he showed early in his Blues career – and for scoring a winner at Anfield.
It took just four minutes for the visitors to secure bragging rights as Campbell steered the ball under Sander Westerveld at the Kop end in September 1999.
The goal was the product of a fine Everton move. Nick Barmby fed Francis Jeffers and his clever flick bamboozled Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia, leaving Campbell to stretch his hot scoring streak to 12 goals in 19 games.
Jeffers himself might have made it two when he raced through one on one with Westerveld and Abel Xavier wasted a gilt-edged chance in injury time. But it mattered little - Campbell's goal proved enough.
The feisty encounter will also be remembered for three sendings off. A scuffle between Westerveld and Jeffers saw both men receive their marching orders midway through the second half, and they were later joined by Reds midfielder Steven Gerrard following his waist-high challenge on the goalscorer.

text: Thank you so much for the excellent article on the complex issues in the Middle East from a human point of view (Perspective, September 9). My father was the first of the Obeidallah family to emigrate from Battir to the United States. He arrived in the late '50s, and though he is no longer with us, his legacy certainly lives on. There are more than 150 Obeidallahs in the United States, which is simply astounding, given the more than humble digs writer Phil Primack visited in Battir. Anyway, I just want to give Primack a shout out for this good work, this balanced work, this work that might actually help promote even a trickle of peace. Sometimes all it takes is a trickle to start a revolution of hope and peace and connection.

Because this is the final blog of the day, and I wanted something to hold you through the weekend, and I'm pretty sure my feeling that FOOTBALL CAN'T GET HERE SOON ENOUGH gives me at least one thing in common with even those of you who often throw your half-eaten sandwich at my face on your computer screen, I've got football stuff for you.
Actually, consider this a low-level tease (that sounded kinda dirty) for next week's re-unveiling of Weekend Predictions. Since we're more electric and less acoustic now here at the AJC (that's the newspaper) and AJC.com, it follows that you'll be able to read Weekend Predictions online on Thursday afternoons now, as well as in print the following morning. This will allow the online reader access to special web-only Thursday night game BONUS PICKS, which will be so special that I felt the need to hit the CAPS LOCKED key, which normally is reserved for those commenting on Michael Vick blogs.
Darn. I wasn't supposed to mention him today. Oh well.
Anyway, we plan another long and profitable season at W.P. Inc. As always, W.P. Inc. accepts no responsibility if you bet on the wrong selections that were meant only to humor you.
So I went looking for the official Glantz-Culver point spreads for next week's college games and came to realize that they're not out yet. Instead, I'm relying on BetUS.com, which has even posted odds on the Lingerie Football League. Why, I don't know. And I'm sure all of the WNBA fans who hate me for my previous blog now are even more thrilled that I dared to mention the Lingerie Football League.
Following are point spreads for opening week games involving Georgia, Georgia Tech and the Falcons (in two weeks), as well as some various prop bets. The official Glantz-Culver lines next week might vary from these numbers. But it will give you some clue as to what to expect.
As always, it won't give you any idea what direction I'm going.
(Note: I converted numbers from a money line to standard odds. For example, plus-500 becomes 5-1.)
♦ Game 1: The Bulldogs are 6-point underdogs at Oklahoma State. What's interesting about this is the home team generally gets three points, which means they still consider the Cowboys a field goal better on a neutral site and the line would be even in Athens. Conclusion: Somebody doesn't believe in the Joe Cox offense or the Willie Martinez defense. Or both.
♦ Big picture: Florida is an overwhelming favorite to win the SEC (1 to 2.5), followed by LSU (4.5 to 1). The Dogs are 9 to 1, which is tied for fifth.
♦ Game 1: There are no odds because the opponent, Jacksonville State, is a 1-AA team.
♦ Big picture: It's close odds for the ACC championship between Florida State (2.3 to 1) and Virginia Tech (2.5 to 1). The Yellow Jackets are 6 to 1, which is tied for fifth.
♦ Favorites: Tim Tebow 2 to 1, Sam Bradford 2.5 to 1, Colt McCoy 2.75 to 1. Georgia Tech's Jonathan Dwyer is 15 to 1, which is sixth.
1.) Florida: 1.8 to 1
2.) Oklahoma: 5 to 1
3t.) Texas and USC: 6.5 to 1
5.) Ohio State: 10 to 1
6.) Alabama: 12 to 1
7.) Virginia Tech: 16.5 to 1
8.) LSU: 18 to 1
9.) Notre Dame: 20 to 1
10.) Florida State: 22 to 1
11.) Penn State: 25 to 1
12.) Miami: 26 to 1
13t.) Mississippi and Oregon: 30 to 1
15.) North Carolina: 33 to 1
16.) Nebraska: 40 to 1
17t.) Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, California and South Florida: 50 to 1
♦ Game 1: 4-point favorites over Miami. Sounds right for two teams coming off surprising seasons.
♦ Big picture (NFC champions): N.Y. Giants 5 to 1, Philadelphia 5.5 to 1, Minnesota 6.5 to 1, New Orleans and Chicago 10 to 1. The Falcons are 12-1, tied for sixth).
♦ Really big picture (Super Bowl champions): New England 4.5 to 1, Pittsburgh 9 to 1, San Diego 10 to 1, N.Y. Giants and Philadelphia 12 to 1. The Falcons are 25 to 1, which is tied for 12th.
Here's a link if you're interested in more prop wagers (sporting, of course). For what it's worth, they also have odds on whether an NFL team will go undefeated. You can get 2000 to 1 on the Detroit Lions.
So do these odds look about right to you, or are you surprised by the Georgia line?

"The Bulldogs are 6-point underdogs at Oklahoma State" ???????

Richt's scrimmage "trick" had dawgs starting off with a 21-0 deficit.
It will be merciful if its not OKST 21-0 to end the 1st Quarter !!!!
August 28th, 2009
3:37 pm
The 6 point line doesn't surprise me seeing how UGA is away at a top 10 opponent and is coming off losing Staff and Moreno. What everyone forgets is how well UGA plays in the season opener against good teams, and how well UGA plays on the road in hostile environments.
August 28th, 2009
3:39 pm
It's 3:30 on Friday afternoon and all the cheap bars from Atlanta to Athens are full of dawg fans, so we won't be bothered with too many of their stupid anti-Tech blogs today. THWG!

The ONLY thing is question is whether they'll maike it 12-0.

Paul H,
Yes, I see a pattern. UGA's margin of victory in the first game keeps decreasing.
August 28th, 2009

Considering your 401k from McD's is probably my daily salary, I'd take that bet dumb doggie.

OK State line is about right. but 9 to 1 for the SEC? That's a little low, I'd suggest they win their STATE championship first.
August 28th, 2009
4:47 pm
I am doing my almost best Jeff.
August 28th, 2009
4:52 pm
The -6 line for Okie State is a trap. Dawgs will win by 10+. Stay away.
August 28th, 2009
4:53 pm
Sorry – I think you need an adults only blog called "Schultz after dark". The level of discourse here has been decidely mediocre thus far.
August 28th, 2009
4:54 pm
I am a die hard UGA fan-but this will be a tough game. I think the score will be within a td. All of those who are saying it will be a blow out, I hope you are on here after the game to eat your words. By the way look at who GT is playing-Jacksonville St.!!!!
August 28th, 2009
4:56 pm
It must be an SEC fan making the odds – if you look at the odds for Florida, it is harder to win the SEC championship than it is the win the BCS version.
August 28th, 2009
4:57 pm
Remember, you read it here first. Georgia will beat Oklahoma State by a score of 41-21. The Cowboys will look more like Cowgirls as the get their butts whupped.
August 28th, 2009
4:58 pm
So I can't bet on Jacksonville State to win.
Inside info has it as a "bet the kids college fund"
never work again.

"Dawgs in Trouble?" is a rhetorical question.
August 28th, 2009
5:22 pm
What if the Tech students dressed up like Chewbacca or cute little Yoda?
C-3PO or R2-D2?
DARTH VADER or Luke with his Light Saber?
I mean who would accost them?
Problem solved. Elementary my dear Watson.

Black Hat 2014
Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
Some fun new shooting options for instantly telling stories with your photos and movies, and NFC for easy Wi-Fi setup make the N100 more interesting than the original.
Though there's nothing extraordinary about it, the SX600 HS is a solid choice for snapshooters wanting a simple step up from a smartphone without sacrificing on-the-go sharing.
The camera maker's top compact megazoom gets a new lens, NFC, and full HD movie capture at 60p.
If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.
The Canon PowerShot N100's photos and performance are a step in the right direction for point-and-shoots, but the N100 design needs a bit more work and perhaps fewer novelties.
The new ultracompact megazooms have some novel autoshooting capabilities and improved wireless functionality that may bring back smartphone snapshooters.
The budget-friendly 30x zoom returns to Canon's PowerShot lineup minus some features, but with a newer image processor.
A change in sensor brings the 30x zoom Canon PowerShot SX510 HS' photo and movie quality as well as its shooting performance up a notch.
If you hate AA batteries, but like inexpensive compacts with manual controls, the 16x zoom Canon PowerShot SX170 IS takes a good photo. Otherwise, seek out its predecessor, the SX160 IS.
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II has some solid capabilities and a standout lens, but the overall experience just doesn't live up to its price.

Graham Clark of MaxFun's Stop Podcasting Yourself has just released his online-only stand-up comedy special. Recorded at Vancouver's Waldorf Hotel last month, Graham's is the first in a series of local stand-up specials. Oh, also it's hilarious.
Download it at thestandupcomedians.com. It's just five bucks!
Our own Graham Clark of Stop Podcasting Yourself is also an accomplished artist who creates charming paintings using his beard as a brush. The subject matter is lively, fun and diverse ranging from a portrait of Don Rickles to two robots playing leapfrog. He has painted and sold more then 50 pieces and donates all of the proceeds to charity.
That's all terrific, but, let's best honest: you've lost countless hours of sleep wondering how he does it, right? Now, finally, you can watch his beard in action!

On Thursday, September 22nd, the Little Mountain Gallery in Vancouver will host the opening reception for an exhibit of beard paintings created by our own Graham Clark of Stop Podcasting Yourself. What is a beard painting? Well, as the name suggests, it's a work created by the application of paint to canvass using facial hair. Although Graham has been creating paintings this way for some time, it's his first show exhibiting this methodology and the money from any painting sold will go to a charity of the purchaser's choice.
After the opening, the exhibit will run until September 27th. You can find all of the details, including the time and location, here.

A father and son in Washington County are accused of sexually abusing young girls.
Bryan Payne, 46, and Lynn Payne, 72, were both arrested July 12 and arraigned in court Monday. Bryan Payne is charged with sex abuse, unlawful sexual penetration and encouraging child sex abuse. His father is charged with unlawful sexual penetration and sodomy.
They both pleaded not guilty. Their bail is $500,000 each.
Investigators said they sexually abused at least two different girls under the age of 10 years old. Deputies said the abuse primarily occurred at Bryan Payne's home on Southwest Washington Drive in Metzger. His father lives at the home, as well.
Washington County sex crime detectives strongly believe there are additional victims. It was not uncommon for Bryan Payne to provide babysitting services for friends and neighbors, according to deputies.
If you have any information, please call the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 503-846-2500.

The Tsarnaev brothers are accused of carrying out the bombings using pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards. The attack killed three people and injured more than 260 others near the marathon's finish line.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured and remains in a prison hospital. He has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and faces a potential death sentence if convicted.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, of Montgomery Village, Md., and three of his friends met with Stefan on Sunday to wash and shroud Tsarnaev's body according to Muslim tradition.
Tsarni told reporters that he is arranging for Tsarnaev's burial because religion and tradition call for his nephew to be buried. He would like him buried in Massachusetts because he's lived in the state for the last decade, he said.
"I'm dealing with logistics. A dead person must be buried," he said.
The state medical examiner ruled that Tsarnaev died from gunshot wounds and blunt trauma to his head and torso, and authorities have said his brother ran him over in a chaotic getaway attempt.
Tsarni has denounced the acts his nephews are accused of committing and said they brought shame to the family and the entire Chechen ethnicity. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Both parents returned to Dagestan last year.
Tsarni said Sunday that he hopes to eventually see Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at his prison hospital.
"This is another person left all to himself," he said.

Many states across America pay less to care for a foster child than a kennel charges to board and feed a dog! Please help save a childhood ~ Support America's Forgotten Foster Care Children.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Today, more than half a million children in the United States are in foster care. Recent studies have shown an increase in child abuse, and/or neglect due to our nation's current economic crisis. Our most precious resources- our children are in desperate need of your help. America's current statistics on foster care is appalling; 90% of foster children before their 21st Birthday will be incarcerated, homeless or dead. "Please, help save America's Infants and Children!"
How will this project solve this problem?
Our main goal is to advertise on commercials and in magazines for quality foster/adopt parents, by placing a sweeter face on foster children. It's is equally as imperative to provide the public information on the plight of America's Foster Children.
Potential Long Term Impact
By 2010, governmental statistics is estimating the United States of America will have close to one million children in foster care, many of these children will be medically fragile due to methamphetamine use among pregnant women.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) Brewers' left-hander Chris Narveson has been put on the 15-day disabled list, after he sprained his left middle finger while warming up in the bullpen on Saturday night.
Manager Ron Roenicke didn't make the news public until last night. He said it was a reason that he tried to get a rare second inning out of John Axford in Sunday's 11-inning home loss to Arizona. Axford gave up a homer to Wisconsin native Eric Hinske in his second inning of work.
Meanwhile, Narveson's injury gives the Brewers the chance to add a position player – which the team badly needs after running out of them in the late innings on Sunday. Catcher-first baseman Blake Lalli is expected to be called up today from Triple-"A" Nashville.

2012 is in the Books!
Posted on December 29, 2012
Last 'cross post for the year, but expect early 2013 posts with GRC racers heading to Chicago, Madison, and Louisville in January.
Last race weekends were the MAC wrap up, MABRA, and NJ.
Solid rides during a very cross like day in Emmaus PA secured 4th in the MAC team series for Guy's. Great effort in the MAC Series with 3 racers on series podium.
The next weekend Reynolds went to Maryland to show the MABRA crew how it's done and ended 2012 with a win. Good luck to Scott at Nationals. Featherblog and ex-Prez went to De Koude Ras in NJ, which roughly translates as dopey course. Mark takes 2nd, ex-Prez has an early crash that did some damage, dnf. We appreciate all promoters, just not sure this park makes for a good course. Basically a two tiered course with the top being a series of 180 turns in a wicked fast descent, a few more 180s and then a 150m run up which was almost a crawl. Best part of the race was free soup and sandwich included in entry fee.
A few stats from the cross crew for the year:
8 wins
25 top 5s
35 top 10s
179 racing days
Glad to see so many people out this year! It was a fun season. WhirlyBird moves to a new location with solid reviews. Stoudt's cross post race beer hall was a blast. Lots of great memories. Can't wait for next year.
Happy New Year!
You are racer

(abstract).
This crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction at a resolution of 2.2 Å and deposited in 2010.
The experimental data on which the structure is based was also deposited.
The PDB entry contains the structure of SERINE/THREONINE-PROTEIN KINASE NEK2. This molecule has the UniProt identifier P51955 (NEK2_HUMAN). The sample contained 279 residues which is < 90% of the natural sequence. Out of 279 residues 235 were observed and are deposited in the PDB.
It also contains one or more heterogenic compounds (e.g., ligands, co-factors, ions, modified amino acids, etc.); see here for a complete list.
The molecule is most likely monomeric.

Bike Setup: Klein Palomino Race, Stock
Date Reviewed: January 19, 2003
Strengths: Ti rails--If I knew before now that titanium rails made such a difference, I would have been using them for years and years by now.
Gel insert--it's not too mushy. It does the job just right.
Fantastic design--lots of stitching, just enough give, shaped just right for to be comfortable but perform better than any other saddle I've used.
Weaknesses: That I didn't find out about it earlier.
Bottom Line:
I paid the difference on this saddle as a warranty replacement for a Bontrager FS2000 which ripped on it's own. It was a real shame too, because I thought that was the best saddle ever. But forget the FS2000; THIS is the best saddle EVER! Everything outside of comfort which is great about the FS2000 is far better on the Race Lite.
When I first put it on my bike and rode it I thought it was actually longer than any other saddle I rode before. It isn't, but there's certainly more space to play around on with this saddle. I never rode a saddle before which allowed me to adjust my position mid-ride so much. And once you get it set just right for yourself it's very comfortable.
Performance wise, it's like it's not even there. It's that easy to move both on it and around it.
I like the colors, but I went with black because it fit the overall design of my bike well. I'm going to get a yellow one to go on my other bike.

Strengths: This is for a Race Lite Ti ... much superier to the standard Race Lite. Solid, bombproof. A little expensive retailing for $120, but you can find online for less. Hey, it looks *great* too.

No, u have to get the ti version with the gel padding and kevlar sides as it's more comfortable .
and not the crappy cheap chromoly version with no extra gel padding and kevlar.
Or you might be a heavy rider because i have a nephew too who are quite heavy. light racing saddles like many ranges of selle italia and many more does not suit him and it seems he have to go on for a downhill kind of saddle or pretty heavy SGD saddle.

Here's your photo of the day, an awesome shot of the F-35 Join Strike Fighter in afterburner.
H/t SNAFU.
Here's your photo of the day, an awesome shot of the F-35 Join Strike Fighter in afterburner.
H/t SNAFU.
{ 68 comments… read them below or add one }
first post!
Oooooh! Very nice!
Any idea what version?
The link below for the original pic has a caption stating F-35B.
The expensive version!
Aren't they all expensive? ; )
Daaaanger Zooooone!
I believe it's the A version, it has the USAF roundel.
May look fast but maybe not maneuverable.. But whatever its still cool!
Maneuverability depends on the variant… F35A is rated for the same level of maneuverability as the F-16… test pilots have said in some ways it more maneuverable than the F-16 and in other ways more comparable to the F/A-18. Yes, F35B and F35C are rated lower, but out perform both the AV-8B and A-10.
As Jeff notes, the A model is a 9g airframe. Since it carries its stores internally, in an LO configuration it should carry it's speed in a turn longer than the F-16. JOn Beesley went so far as to say the A model is comparable to a clean F-16 Blk50. So You have to be careful how you define 'maneuverability'. Comparing the F-35C to the F-18C/D/E/F we find identical 7.5g ratings, but the F-35C should have a quicker initial turn rate than the 'A' because of the bigger wing, but I would expect that same wing to burn off speed with higher drag. The Marines traded G-rating for other things, among them the ability to go supersonic, and again, in a clean configuration externally, it should hold the Gs it can pull at higher speeds for longer than the Harrier just about everywhere in the flight envelope.
if its maneuverable enough to kill the pilot without the avionics to limit the planes performance to prevent such a thing – then its maneuverable enough.
Link to original (hi-res) picture:
Oh that high res pic totally changed my mind about maneuverability! lol
"F-35B Transonic Shock
Flight test of the F-35B with visible transonic flow, April 19, 2012 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md."
Not transonic shock. TS would accumulate on the front of the aircraft.
I am going to say again since you troll this plane. It does things that other planes today cant do! Besides your constantly talking about cost. Cost will go down in time. God willing if I get to fly in the USMC I would want to fly this airplane in the event that a real war breaks out
Well, I'm in the Navy and I too am working towards being a pilot and, God willing, if I get to fly I would pick the Super Hornet Block II rather than the F-35C. The Super Hornet is dependable, reliable, heavily armed, flexible, and it has two engines. The only thing the F-35s do that other aircraft can't is be stealthy. In order to achieve that it sacrifices heavily in all other areas of performance, especially maintainability. The advanced sensor suite of the F-35 can also easily be added to the Super Hornet. Stealth is an advantage, but it is not an absolute necessity and we can still defeat our enemies without it by utilizing good tactics and advanced ordinance. Integrating stealth into our forces is important, but not at the cost of other things, especially flexibility and aircraft numbers. We don't need the F-35 when our current jets are good enough and will continue to be for many years. The EA-18G Growler and Super Hornet Block III with some advanced weapons can easily handle all our current and future threats and last us until a 6th gen fighter is made.
That's a hell of a choice. The sucker fly or the F-35. I hope you're good at tanking.
You cant just tack on the improvements that the F-35 has onto the F-18. Right we are going to wait for a 6th gen now, what so you can then say no no no we dont need a 6th gen we can just bring back F-4 and mustangs and slingshots to take out whatever advanced fighter come our way
IN the interest of understanding, might one ask what is your grade and what exactly it is that you 'do' in the Navy?
I'm a 2nd class midshipman at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. For the most part I take classes that are taught in a regular college (physics, chemistry,…) only ours are faster paced and more in depth. Along with those classes I take a lot of military classes about weapon systems, navigation, history, and several other things. I'm also taking Russian. My service assignment night is in November and that's when I'll find out if I'm going to be a pilot or not after I graduate.
Take Chinese instead
Back when I was a plebe…. ;)
I am familiar with NA life, What is your squadron?
Also i know it is not on the same level but look how much money was invested into the Manhattan Project
Totally not comparable here…
Mmmmmm. Pretty picture plane, yes? Transonic flow makes for a great effect, almost sci-fi, which fits perfectly with the F-35's image. These 5th Gens look awesome.
Flew in a 16 in'05 the pilot said he wanted the F-35 more than the 22 as his dream ride. I think they should make a dmodel a twin engine/seat version and throw a gau-8 avenger in that sucker…make that a howitzer and call it a day. Hey for a trillion dollars We can build anything!
The next step to creating a Super Lightening should be easy. I would expect to see a strike version within 10-20 years after the regular models are operational. Kinda like how they stretched the Eagle and Hornets.
Pitty the plane is only a Mach 1 fighter. Wish they make them faster.
Speed actually isn't too important for fighters. Most engagements still happen in the transonic regime.
The Single Engine F-35 Lightning Is Not Worth The Price.
I haven't seen a pic with the extra attachment on the nose before. That just for the flight testing or is it there for the 'retail' version too?
test probes
Evidently the filters don't like the word that rhymes with 'toad' but begins with the letter between 'o' and 'r'. Short version: It is an Alpha-Beta- "rhymes with toad"
sheesh. I must be tired. Scratch 'toad' insert 'robe'.
Its for telemetry to the ground station.
New Article in "Foreign Policy Magazine " just released "The Jet That Ate the Pentagon "
It pretty well sums up this monstrosity of a Failed & Flawed Program.
Really? I read: The Bad Press that ate the Jet…
Jus sayin'
The best afterburner pics I always saw are the Blackbirds on takeoff in darkness. Seeing the exhaust diamonds were sweet and an unexplained phenomena. Also it's rare to find such pics as well. This one in the midst of transonic is top 3 on my list while that other one of the F18 is #2.
Good shot all the same.
Exhaust diamonds are also called shock diamonds and are fairly well understood. Basic science here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_diamond
That picture with the shock diamonds is the last bit of proof I need to claim that the Blackbird is not military but a space-plane out of Stargate SG1. They look so different than anything else we have.
What a beautiful bird.
Have you ever seen an F-8 Crusader in AB at dusk? More impressive.
mmmmm I get a feeling after all the hoo haa about costs, capabilities service dates etc that this may well be a good thing. Because its so new and there are not many everybody is thinking bad things, remember this is not like building the family car so as soon as they start coming off the assembly line in some sort of numbers people will back off. It would help if Brits worked out what hey wanted the "b" or "c" but thats a whole differant arguement
bizarre mods on this sight …very inconsitent. i quess they delete the posts that offer a different view than their own opinions,
Will all due respect, the proper term for this would be "in full augmentor," not "afterburner."
The afterburner is an assembly aft of the turbine section that supplies atomized fuel into the exhaust airflow to increase exhaust temperature and pressure. Afterburners use large quantities of fuel, and thus are used for short periods of time only. Afterburners are used on turbojet engines to increase thrust for short periods of time during takeoff, climb and supersonic flight. Very few commercial aircraft use afterburners. Afterburners are usually on military aircraft only.
Augmentors are afterburners on low-bypass turbofan engines. Core airflow and bypass (fan) airflow are mixed aft of the turbines, in the exhaust. Fuel nozzles supply atomized fuel into the airflow and an igniter ignites the fuel/air mixture. Augmentors are used on low-bypass turbofan engines to increase thrust for short periods during takeoff, climb, and combat flight.
Augmentor Exhaust Nozzles
Augmentor exhaust nozzles make up the aft end of augmented low-bypass turbofan engines. It has a flame holder, fuel nozzles, an igniter, and a variable exhaust nozzle. The fuel nozzles supply atomized fuel into the exhaust airflow and the igniter makes the fuel/air mixture burn. Augmentor exhaust nozzles are used on low-bypass turbofan engines to increase thrust.
Ooh. Learned something.
It's a common misconception. Older fighter aircraft have "afterburners," but most engines developed in the past 30-35 years are low-bypass motors, so it would be called "augmentor."
"Augmentor" just sounds wimpy.
No one's naming their movie/rock album/sports car "Augmentor"
Oh- since the F35 can't supercruise- we might be seeing a lot of the "Augmentor"
But are you Smarter than a 5th grader?
More like,
"Do you remember useless irrelevant trivia from 5th grade that you forgot because you had more important things to remember"?
Money can do anything I just love to see that f35 fly by its awsome! The Dutch f-35 is test flying also.We must stay on top in every bit of tech in every service..
I hope this jets are worth the 1.51 trillion dollars the program i costin us, but they sure do look badass!
Get some…
Looks like Canada is going to have a complete restart and a competition for it's new Fighter Aircraft , not automatically sign on to the F-35 JSF . With a lot of support for both the Super Hornet and the Gripen NG. Here is a link to yesterdays main headlines,
looks like the paint vaporizing off the bodywork
The Single Engine F-35 Lightning,Is Not Worth The Price.
Turkey will buy 100 F-35A :))
do you know guys that Japan has chosen the US-made F-35 stealth jet as its next-generation mainstay fighter in a multi-billion dollar deal? http://airsoc.com/articles/view/id/4ee7094ac6f8fa…
I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or weblog posts on this kind of house . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this website. Studying this info So i am satisfied to convey that I've a very good uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed. I such a lot indisputably will make certain to do not disregard this web site and give it a glance regularly.
I'm more worried about the Russians. They have more tanks and more combat aircraft of better quality. They have a lot more training, experience, and the worse their economic situation gets the more desperate they are becoming and more likely to do something rash. The Russians scare me a lot more than the supposedly feared "China Expansion" scare that's been going around. The Chinese military is still very poor in quality and will continue to be a long time. The only real advantages they have are a good economy and large numbers, but they really don't have the capability to draft all of their men into their military and they have a large host of other economic and social problems that the media in the west tends to not focus on. The Russians are more heavily armed, more innovative, more clever, and overall better than the Chinese as far as being a formidable opponent goes. It is worth noting that China also has a lot of internal enemies from the cruelty of its own system. They spend more money on internal security than they do on national defense, which shows that they fear what's inside their own country more than what is abroad.
Im sorry, but it is very comparabl. You assume you know the ability of the F-35. Now are there problems in cost, offcourse. But the money being spent on these planes is going to advancements that you simply di not understand. Your paper you wrote factors in a lot of errors or plain misinformation. In your coments regarding China as to being a small threat due to them being underequiped is rather dumb. Im assuming your Naval Accademy history classes are not as rigurous as you say. Pllease look at our own military before WWI and WWII. A lot can happen in a time of war. I appologize for missspellings and bad grammer my phone is not allowing me to correct my post.-
Russia and the the US have no reason to clash. Russia won't try to retake the Baltic states and if they want Georgia- they can have them.
China- well – we have the Norks, Taiwan, and the South China Sea to worry about/fight over.
Your analysis needs some work- I heard Annapolis was lowering their standards.
Whoever told you that Naval Acad is "…lowering their standards." is real light-headed! It's one of the toughest schools in the world! Ask any graduate.
I think USAFA is the one with squadrons. We have companies.
