20-year-old Dysheem Tyrae Hart and 18-year-old Rayshawn James Ivory, both of Statesville, have been arrested by Statesville Police in connection to an incident in which a 13-year-old juvenile and another man were struck with shot pellets from a shotgun. Hart and Ivory were both charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and discharging a firearm inside the city limits.
At about 8:40 Sunday night (June 1), Statesville Police responded to reports of a shooting on the 1400 block of Church Street. Upon arrival, Officers located both victims. Their injuries were said to be minor and consisted of welts to the skin.
Officers learned that two suspects had fired a shotgun from the back yard of a home on Woodruff Street. Officers went to the location and heard persons in the house yelling about the Police presence. Due to the nature of the situation, Officers established a perimeter around the house. Police saw several persons running in and out of the home to a nearby wooded area. The Statesville Police Department's Special Response Team (SRT) was called to the scene.
The SRT Officers began evacuating nearby homes. The occupants of the suspect house were directed to exit the residence. Five individuals complied.
A search warrant was executed at the residence. Investigators and Officers interviewed numerous people at the scene. As a result of the investigation, Hart and Ivory were taken into custody. A shotgun was seized during the investigation.
Both men were held in the Iredell Co. Detention Center on $25,000 secured bonds. They will appear in District Court on June 23.

Whoyougonnacall, K-pop lovers? Gangnam Busters!
News flash: Halloween happened this week. And though we thought Jessica Simpson looked great as a vampy milkmaid, and Miley Cyrus was on the nose with her Nicki Minaj costume, our favorite thing to come out of this year's Halloween had to be a mash-up of Psy's "Gangnam Style" and the theme from Ghostbusters. Coincidentally, we have the video . Enjoy. Continue reading 'Discourse & Dischord'

I love this litter pan!
posted 5 years ago
This litter pan is great. We had to velcro our old litter pan onto the bottom of our cage so they wouldn't push it all around. I bought this one a few months ago and don't know how I lived without it. It's the perfect size. It has high sides so accidents are less. Best of all it locks onto the cage so no more velcro!!!
Pros: locks on, high back and sides
Cons: a little expensive...but worth it

Keyboard freezes at Windows 7 login screen if a key is depressed
Hi all,
I have an Acer Aspire 5517 notebook with a very strange problem. The keyboard and touchpad work fine until I try and type in the first letter of my password, then both freeze. If I don't touch the keyboard once the login screen appears (by using the Ease of Access on screen keyboard), I can use the touchpad for as long as I want. But touch one of the 101 keys - pfft, they both lock up. My power key is set to Shut Down, and I can always use that.
A few other things: if I let the laptop charge for awhile while it is turned off, the keyboard will work normally. If I reboot it after a few minutes after that, the keyboard will once again cease to work. When the keyboard won't (or doesn't) work, there will be no listing for keyboards in the Device Manager and under keyboards in the Control Panel there is no driver listed for it, that tab is just blank. No errors in the Device Manager either. When the KB does work, everything is listed normally in both Device Manager and the Control Panel.
After looking around this forum and others, I've tried a few things: in-place Windows re-install, then an Acer full re-install, then a full install using an MS Windows 7 disc. Always the same result. Some said it was a dying battery, so I went and bought a new one, same results. I also installed ubuntu, thinking the problem wouldn't exist there, but sure enough, it does.
How a keyboard always works before loading an OS, or after letting it sit charging while turned off, and then not work the rest of the time has got me terribly confused.
Sorry for the long post, but if anybody has any ideas, I'll try anything.
Thanks all.

Ricardo Smith will soon be walking away from Cherry Tree Crossing, and the Augusta Housing Authority is moving out 350 families.
He has a voucher for a new home and he made sure it was still near a bus line like Cherry Tree.
"Was having the bus important to you?" we asked Smith. "Yes sir, it was important, because you've got transportation because we stay here and you can walk to the bus stop right here," he answered.
Smith will live close to a bus line, but says many of his neighbors being relocated from the Cherry Tree Crossing complex are heading to south Augusta. "There's many heading out there, I mean yeah, there's plenty of them that went out there," he said.
"How are they going to get around?" we asked Smith. "I don't know," he said with a laugh.
Large sections of south Augusta, especially the Tobacco Road-Windsor Spring Road area do not have bus service.
"There ain't nothing out therem it's underserved. It needs more service. You'd be surprised, you would get more money if you give the service out there," said bus rider Larry Jones.
Officials with company running the Augusta bus system, McDonald Transit Associates, have a plan to change that with three proposed south Augusta routes, including one for Meadowbrook Drive, Windsor Spring Road, and Tobacco Road.
"That would be just excellent, that would be something to look forward to in the future," said Jones.
But, more service to south Augusta is in the future because for the bus system, the first phase priority is a new Fort Gordon route and adding buses and altering routes to reduce wait times for riders on the other routes.
"South Augusta...the issue we have there, we don't know exactly where everybody is going yet, and the density out there is not set up in a way that we can efficiently or effectively run a service out there because we don't know where people are moving to," says Tim Lett, of McDonald Transit Associates.
City Administrator Fred Russell defended the Fort Gordon route and reducing wait times for riders as the first priority, saying it gives the city more bang for its bucks.
The cost will be $1.1 million. When asked where the city finds that money, Russell said, "good question".

Loved that it wasn't as cloyingly sweet as apple pies sometimes are. I used granny smiths because I like tart & a store bought crust because I'm no good at pie crusts. Used a pecan oatmeal crumble on top and I guess I should have covered it with tin foil from the start, because that did burn a little. It was delicious!

This juicy double-crusted beauty combines two favorite fall season flavors. Grade B maple syrup is less refined and has stronger maple taste, though grade A will work just fine in this recipe.

Hello Travis. This is the stylist from Alambama!! I had the pleasure of meeting you in Atl. I must say I'm falling in Love with the products!
I got your product once at my salon, but they are out now and I really need it! My hair loves it and there is nothing else I can find to compare.
Thanks! Bev Tyus
I use Travis Dowdy Products and they are wonderful..i really like the ingredients, the fragrances, and the silky finish on my hair..friend him on facebook and learn more about his journey.
I had the pleasure of meeting travis Dowdy at a hair show last month. I have been using some of his products and they are THE BOMB!!! ...
Denise Gordin Jackson MS
So I just had to Friend request you so I could tell you how much I LOVE my hair now!!!! and LOVE LOVE LOVE my products!!! ;) Thank you!!!
Christen Goldsby Jackson MS
This product is awesome! I never used sheens in the past because they were always heavy on my hair and weighed it down. With Revive its weightless and I use two sprays a day, style my hair and I'm off! It gives my hair so much body and makes it so soft.
Dear Travis,
I am writing to express how i feel about the products that you have created. I have been using the product for the past five years in both ATL and Arizona. I was introduced to the product by this guy, He dropped off the radiant and told me if i used it I would never use anything else. So I sat it down and finished my client with the products that I normally used, and contiuned using it. About five months past by and I was out of a shine serum that I normally used and the radiant was the only thing that I had. I used it and the guy was right I've never used anything else since that day. I would put this line to test with any other lines in the industry... All of my clients are hooked to it they order it and has named it "HAIR CRACK". there has been a couple of times that I have ran out and I mean after scraping the bottle, and they could see,fell, and tell the difference. Since using the Travis Dowdy line my retail sales are limitless. I recently moved to Arizona and every stylist that I've left a sample with has raved over it. Even my arizona clients are addicted to the line. I could'nt see my hair styles with out the Travis Dowdy collection. Thank you for created such an amazing line
- Chardai Fisher
Freelance Designer/Educator from Arizona
In my transition to using Travis Dowdy Hair Care Products exclusively, I've noticed a wonderful change in the appearance of my clients' hair. There's been a total "TRANSFORMATION"… I'm a stylist that's really big on healthy hair that has a lot of movement and body so I look for products that can fit the description of the kind of hair my clientele is used to having (healthy hair). I was introduced to TD products through a friend on FB who still to this day hasn't used it, but he referred me to the company and I must say I'm loving all the products, especially the Radiant Gloss and the Fusion Spray. These products are very good not only clients who are natural or relaxed, but also I've noticed it's GREAT for that clientele that are big on wearing extensions. My Silk Press clients absolutely love it! Every product in this line has improved the feel of my client's tresses and has given each lady a total boost of confidence in knowing they finally have hair that can still be healthy without having a bunch of product buildup on their scalp and hair! Without a shadow of a doubt this product line has met my needs for my clientele and it's sure to be a MAIN line for me to use for years to come. I can't wait until the Complete maintenance line comes out, that way I can convert my back-bar line over as well. Blessings upon you and your company Travis! I can't wait to see the success God has in store for your company, unfold before our very eyes…. #TeamTravisDowdyHaircare …

Electric vehicles getting even "Greener"
September 16, 2014 03:01 PM - Union of Concerned Scientists
Sixty percent of Americans now live in regions where electric vehicles (EVs) produce fewer heat-trapping global warming emissions per mile than the most efficient hybrids, according to an updated analysis from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). In 2012, that number was just 45 percent. "Electric vehicles are doing more and more to fulfill their technological promise," said Don Anair, research director for UCS's Clean Vehicles Program. "If we want to reduce transportation pollution and oil use, a big part of the answer is to be like Bob Dylan and go electric."

V-neck t-shirts: Unless they are filthy with your nasty summer sweat stains (in that case, use this cue to buy some new ones) these are great for under cardigans or lightweight jackets, and for the Indian summer days, you can slip right back into dreams of summer. $50, James Perse, jamesperse.com
Smart sunglasses: Look smarter than you are with Moscot Yukel glasses. Made of acetate and steel, they will stand up to all weather conditions. I mean, Johnny Depp wears them. There's really no one better to emulate (and the chicks dig him!). $225, Moscot Originals, moscot.com
Chambray shirt: This shirt is the perfect summer-to-fall closet stable. It is perfect alone with the sleeves rolled up or under a v-neck sweater. Just make sure if you are wearing jeans, they are a MUCH darker wash...matching denim is not something we here at Maxim suggest for a Style Guy, unless you are Billy Ray Cyrus circa '92, in which case, rock on. Wear this updated gray version and look ever the modern man. $128, J. Crew, jcrew.com
And there you have it. We did all the work for you, now it's your job to stay stylish for at least another week or so.

Paralysis by Analysis |pəˈraləsis bī əˈnaləsis|
noun (singular)
A fictitious self-inflected psychological disease that results in periods of extreme indecision, bouts of social anxiety, and lost opportunities at normal life experiences. Normally, patients are found to be within the ages of 18-25, originate from an upper middle-class socioeconomic background, and have steady access to droves of unnecessary information.
"Michael was troubled by the idea that his friend Pat would openly help him with this economics project so close to the deadline when Pat had clearly finished his own project beforehand. Perhaps this was Pat's genuine affectatious side that Michael was always suspect of: that Patrick was only helping him (Michael) to subtly exert his intellectual superiority; that perhaps Pat 'got off' on lending aid to others purely for his own ego-fueled motivations. These struggles of finding genuineness, authenticity, or credibility were always lost on Michael, who, inadvertently, was finding himself equally as lost. It would take Michael an unfortunate number of years before finally being diagnosed with a fake psychological deficiency called 'Paralysis by Analysis'"
Welcome to the inception of what I truly expect to be the tragic downfall of my character. It has taken a good chunk of time for me to get to this physical position of actually typing these words, so I will do my best to make this introduction as coherent, funny, informative, and short as possible. However, I will warn you now that this piece is doomed to be infected with countless digressions that (I hope) should add to the overall clarity behind whatever this is suppose to be. I will probably employ a lot of asides to compensate for my anxiety about having my words be completely understood (which will not even be necessary because you're most likely a very capable human being and my over-indulgence in self-clarification is my problem, not yours) in an effort to make the inner workings of my mind be as cogent as possible. So let's start:
Paralysis by Analysis (PbA) has been in the works for the better part of two years (by "in the works" I mean that no real work has been done on it up until very moment you may be reading this) As the name and very fake DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) definition would suggest, I tend to think about stuff a little too much, sometimes. Even sitting here typing these words has put my mind in a free fall of trying to figure out how to incorporate all that I would love to say without having you Control-T a new tab to check your Facebook. But then I realized that trying to convey everything I'd wish to say on why I'm creating PbA in this singular piece would be a little nearsighted. After rewriting, deleting, and abandoning large portions of material, I thought it would be best to deliver a more condensed version of what I narrowed down to seven core truths that follow as such:
So that's great and all Adam, but enough with the justification of something you still haven't explained yet. What is this shit?
Right, well PbA is going to be my foray into producing original honest content, which will take shape in a couple different forms. The first will be start of podcast. A podcast in which I will travel the country (both home and afar) to go and "interview" some of the great people I've had the chance to come in contact with in my twenty-two years. People, friends, acquaintances, folks who respond to the Craigslist ad (joking) under the "Men Seeking Anything" tab (not joking). A good portion of my modern experiences with social interactions thus far has primarily revolved around pleasure-guided attempts at socializing. Coupled with this, a combination of alcohol, Top 40's playlists, and low expectations. I've actively participated in such events, even enjoying a good amount of it for a short while, but over time I began to develop a growing sense of emptiness, of disliking the routine and charade of interacting with people in the same manner over and over again. The dread of performing small talk with others was enough to make me run for the door. Alongside all this, I began consuming large portions of a relatively new form of media, which harkens back to the days of boring talk-radio, but with people that I genuinely admired and wanted nothing more than to absorb all they had to say. This new media is podcasts and these people are comedians. The format of the podcasts that appealed to me most were always simple in design; often times just two people having real engaging, enlightening, and hilarious conversations that happened to be recorded in the process. The world of stand-up comedy and the concept of "funny", and it's relation to pain and suffering, has taken root in my foundation as a person. It's hard for me to go through a day without thinking up dumb jokes, or to find new ways to get a laugh out of someone (often times at the expense of others). Therefore, the format of this whole thing is meant to be informal, casual, and hopefully funny. Simply put it will be you, me, and two expensive microphones that have been sitting on my shelf for over a year. Whether you're in California, Texas, or Connecticut I will be ready to make these excursions all in the effort of having a chat. Hopefully I quite long one at that.
Getting back to the point, the podcast is my chance to develop and maintain real connections with people in spite of the fear of walking into my twenty's, thirty's, etc. having felt I missed the opportunity to. However, it's not entirely up to me whether this succeeds (whatever 'succeeding' would mean in this case) because as much as I'm offering myself on this proverbial platter, I'm putting my money on the hopes of you, the reader, actually being slightly crazy enough to be interested in this. In speaking with a select few whom I've run the idea past, the reaction has been fairly positive and receptive. However, my goal for this project is to be able to maintain it for the entirety of 2014 (please don't confuse this with a New Years resolution), and I'm hoping that for the few of you who may still be reading this soliloquy that it is in fact tempting. And if so, to please drop my line at firstname.lastname@example.com, or on the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/extempor (Sorry, I feel the need to clarify this word "extempor": simply put, it's just one of my favorite words "extemporaneous", meaning to speak without preparation, sliced in half). I will begin reaching out to those few who expressed interest and that I feel would be great examples of what I'm trying to achieve with this whole idea, but again if you have the slightest inkling of curiosity in participating in this do not hesitate (I've already done enough hesitating in writing this fucking thing).
Secondly, alongside the release of the podcast, PbA is going to introduce weekly short stories written by your's truly. This has been a big deal to me for quite some time having slowly grown into the world of literature and trying to dissect what it means to make good fiction. Essentially, this is me forcing myself to write on a weekly basis (at least 750 characters or more) to try and help organize my thoughts into prose. As you have probably gathered thus far, I worry a great deal about being understood, and to somehow be able to transcribe all this abstract intangible musings into something real and relatable for others is paramount to me. In my day-to-day I've grown too accustomed to the constant consumption of really great media and original content, but have left myself no time to sit back and account for anything that I may have learned. It's difficult knowing that the feeds will always be updating; the articles, videos, pictures persistently being posted, reblogged, shared and then slowly lost to the noise. But my hope is that both the writing and the conversing will somehow supplement each other and coalesce into this full court press of serious diligent work.
So, welcome to Paralysis by Analysis and please be sure to check in if you feel like it. I hope to hear from you soon
Cards Against Humanity is where you learn which of your friends are basic and which ones are sociopaths there is no in between
Alex Balk wrote something perfect (via christinefriar)
Yeaaah, this is pretty much sums it all up for me.
"Well. Whether I've met you or not—young person—my observation is that you are probably not as screwed up as you think you are. And even if you are screwed up, it's time to start acting like you're not. Give yourself a little bit of a break and let yourself have some dignity. Hold your head up and act as though you're capable of something better than what you have. There is so much negative self-talk that we do to keep ourselves feeling terrible about everything. Sometimes it can be helpful hearing a dork like me talk about this, but sometimes it can be helpful to talk about it with your friends and discover what horizons are out there that you may not even be aware of. It's about having a strange combination of high expectations for yourself, but for the things you're capable of doing. It's kind of unreasonable for you to have high expectations about things that you have no business even trying, for example: "I'm mad at myself because I tried to run a marathon today and it didn't work out." There's no reason to think that you would be able to do something that other people have spent years preparing for. It's not realistic, yet you beat yourself up about it, so then you feel incapable of doing other things. Go a little easier on yourself, and in so doing, be prepared to make and do things that might seem silly at first. Just keep moving: don't ruminate and stare at the wall. Don't just play with your phone: go out and produce something. Also, take a walk and get out of the house. Just un-pot yourself a little bit. Put yourself into a different environment where you don't have to be the person who feels bad about themselves."
— Merlin Mann (on TGD)
Like having to be able to say to yourself, 'I am pretending to sit here reading Albert Camus's The Fall for the Literature of Alienation midterm, but actually I'm really concentrating on listening to Steve try to impress this girl over the phone, and I am feeling embarrassment and contempt for him, and am thinking he's a poser, and at the same time I am also uncomfortably aware of times that I've also tried to project the idea of myself as hip and cynical so as to impress someone, meaning that not only do I sort of dislike Steve, which in all honesty I do, but part of the reason I dislike him is that when I listen to him on the phone it makes me see similarities and realize things about myself that embarrass me, but I don't know how to quit doing them—like, if I quit trying to seem nihilistic, even just to myself, then what would happen, what would I be like?
So this book is a sidewalk strewn with junk, trash which I throw over my shoulders as I travel in time back to November eleventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-two. I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance.
And all music is.
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions
You need to build an ability to just be yourself and not be doing something. That's what the phones are taking away, is the ability to just sit there. That's being a person. Because underneath everything in your life there is that thing, that empty—forever empty. That knowledge that it's all for nothing and that you're alone. It's down there.
And sometimes when things clear away, you're not watching anything, you're in your car, and you start going, 'oh no, here it comes. That I'm alone.' It starts to visit on you. Just this sadness. Life is tremendously sad, just by being in it…
That's why we text and drive. I look around, pretty much 100 percent of the people driving are texting. And they're killing, everybody's murdering each other with their cars. But people are willing to risk taking a life and ruining their own because they don't want to be alone for a second because it's so hard.
And I go, 'oh, I'm getting sad, gotta get the phone and write "hi" to like 50 people'…then I said, 'you know what, don't. Just be sad. Just let the sadness, stand in the way of it, and let it hit you like a truck.'
And I let it come, and I just started to feel 'oh my God,'and I pulled over and I just cried like a bitch. I cried so much. And it was beautiful. Sadness is poetic. You're lucky to live sad moments.
And then I had happy feelings. Because when you let yourself feel sad, your body has antibodies, it has happiness that comes rushing in to meet the sadness. So I was grateful to feel sad, and then I met it with true, profound happiness."—Louis C.K., 9/20/13 (via psychotherapy)

There are millions of apps out there, and some of them are actually useful.
2012 was an especially busy year for developers, who churned out roughly eleventy-billion apps, including a few for Windows phones. We saw the rise and rise of Instagram, the short-lived Draw Something fad and the inauguration of presidential campaign apps.
We've already run down the essential apps — 413 essential apps, to be exact — and now, as the year has wound down, we run down the most memorable.
Check them out here, and tell us how much you disagree with us!
Over the last several weeks, we've posted our year-end roundups of the best television, top albums, and most underrated movies of 2012. We thought we made some pretty good choices, but since no list is ever going to be comprehensive in the eyes of the fan whose favorite didn't make the cut, Wired readers had some suggestions of their own. With the help of your generous and in no way angry comments, we've compiled a new list of 10 TV shows, movies and albums that deserved props in 2012 — as dictated by you.
…also DUHHHH, ADVENTURE TIME = BEST EVERRRR
Longtime readers will be familiar with Wired/Tired/Expired, our snarky cultural scorecard that began appearing in the magazine way back at the dawn of Wired. (Actually, it started as Wired/Tired, and Expired was added in 2002.)
Not content to let a good idea sit on the shelf, we've asked product reviews editor Michael Calore, the office's most opinionated loudmouth, to weigh in on the topics most deserving of this year's honors.
…Actually, on second thought, maybe we should have let this sleeping dog lie.

If you're reading this, you've probably realized that there was no great apocalypse today. YET.
But assuming the Mayans were wrong and doomsday isn't on Dec. 21 this year, you may be wondering how the world as we know it might really end. So, to add to the things you can stress over this holiday season, we've collected several scientifically valid scenarios over at Wired Science for you to worry about!

The Kawasaki W800 is a pretty basic motorcycle that features a retro style mixed with modern features and a small dose of adrenaline.
As far as design is concerned, the Kawasaki W800 comes with a voluptuous fuel tank combined with newly designed emblems, lots of chrome, a big headlight and a long, comfortable seat with thick, ribbed padding.
We also need to send a shout at the beautiful, classic-styled engine that gives the motorcycle an iconic look. In terms of power, the air-cooled, 4-stroke, vertical twin unit develops a maximum output of 48 PS at 6,500 rpm and 60 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm. The engine is fed by a 14 liters fuel tank and its power is kept in leash by a five speed transmission.
The Kawasaki W800 can be yours for not less than £ 6,899.
Hit the jump for more information on the 2013 Kawasaki W800.
Mixing high tech with heritage in one seductive retro package, the W800, with classic, class leading features, makes sound, simple sense in a complicated motorcycling world.
Elegant muffler design
Simple, elegant muffler design comprises smooth curves and long, straight lines.
Peashooter-style silencers with slim chambers and long tailpipes add a vintage touch.
Classic-styled Engine
"Building a beautiful engine" was a key concept when designing the air-cooled Vertical Twin. The classic-styled engine is lightweight, simple and a joy to behold.
Iconic bevel-gear-driven cam adds beauty to the cylinder head while contributing to the engine's classical appearance.
"W" styling
Voluptuous fuel tank finished in high-quality paint contributes to the W800's aura of functional elegance.
Newly designed tank emblems, finished in chrome, contribute to the high quality appearance.
Long, comfortable seat with thick, ribbed padding has plenty of room for rider and passenger. Urethane at the front of the seat is shaped to facilitate the reach to the ground. Piping around the edge of the seat follows the line between the rider and passenger's legs to ensure it does not cut into the rider's thighs when at a halt.
As much as possible, plastic was eschewed in favour of metal. The result is a feeling of authentic quality that can only be obtained from the solid feel of metal parts.
Traditional instrumentation includes individual speedometer and tachometer with classic display. A multi-function LCD screen incorporates an odometer, tripmeter, and clock. A full range of indicator lamps includes an FI warning lamp, dual turn signal indicators, low fuel level indicator, high beam indicator, neutral indicator, and oil pressure warning lamp.
Adjustable levers
5-way adjustable clutch lever and 4-way adjustable brake lever enable riders to fine-tune lever span.
Rear shock absorbers
Dual rear shock absorbers, adjustable for spring preload, offer a smooth ride and clean look.
Front brake
Single 300 mm front disc brake offers sure stopping power.
Traditionally styled front fork
Traditionally styled front fork uses rubber gaitors to protect the fork tubes and ensure long fork seal life. Outer tubes have a buffed finish, which contributes to the light looking front end.
Large headlamp
Large headlamp is offset wonderfully by the speedometer and tachometer and simple console.

A Close Inspection - Part 1
By Hypnotic Flower & the Red Guy (email@example.com)
When an up-tight IRS auditor won't lookher in the eye, how will Dr Stephanie Nelson ensure his cooperation?
'Please sit down, Mr Giles'.
Stephanie Nelson motioned towards the largeleather couch that sat against a wall of her office.
'Thank you', Giles moved past her a littlenervously, looking away from the woman's gaze, he continued past the couch andtoward the business chair which faced the large wooden desk.
'We'd be more comfortable over here',Stephanie smiled and again gestured to the couch.
'Thank you Dr Nelson, but I'd sooner wekeep this as brief as possible.' There was no trace of humour or warmth in theman as he took his seat opposite the desk. He placed his briefcase on his lapand, still not looking Stephanie in the eye, he continued, 'I'm really verybusy and I'm not sure that we should be meeting at all. I prefer to work onlywith the numbers and leave the rest to the lawyers.'
Stephanie moved gracefully around to herchair on the other side of the desk, perhaps this man would be more of achallenge than most?
'Well, now', Stephanie began, 'I'm a very hands-onkind of executive. So when I hear that the IRS has sent one of their top men into scrutinize my books, naturally I'm a little concerned'.
'Concerned?' Giles raised an eyebrow and,for the first time looked directly at her. 'Why? Do you have something to hideDr Nelson?'
'Hide? Of course not.
Mr Giles, this company exists to helppeople. We like to --'
Giles interrupted, 'You like to take theirmoney. Dr Nelson, please spare me the sales pitch.
I have no problem with you making money,just so long as you do it legally and pay your taxes.'
Stephanie tried to remain calm, 'Well, MrGiles, I'm sure that if you let me show you what we do, you'll realizethat there's no problem here at all. In fact, solving problems is my specialty'.Stephanie was letting her voice take on a softer, gentler tone, but the effecton Giles was not as she expected.
He immediately looked away from her,grabbed his briefcase from his lap and began to stand, 'Well let's hope youdon't have any problems of your own Dr Nelson.'
Stephanie was intrigued. Jonathan Giles waswell known as one of the IRS 'hawks' who had built himself a brilliant career.He had a reputation for getting results and always through the most meticuloussearches and analyses. In his late 40s, Giles was single and not unattractive.He took good care of himself physically but there was no vanity about him. Hefavored unassuming business suits and kept his hair in a simple militarystyle. He was very well paid but lived alone in a quiet part of town. He hadlittle or no social life. Stephanie's security people had prepared a thoroughreport on Giles but there was no obvious weakness in his profile. He simplylived for his work. And his work was raising millions in taxes from companiesthat everyone else thought were beyond reproach. Stephanie didn't mind payingtaxes but her 'Motivational Consultancy' Empire was built on the use of eroticand, often covert, hypnotic techniques. If this man kept digging he was sure touncover some aspects of the business which would not look good in court.
'Dr Nelson?' Giles was standing, ready toleave, but waiting for Stephanie to complete their conversation. He looked ather quizzically, wondering whether he'd touched a nerve. Perhaps she did havesomething to hide.
'Humm? Sorry', Stephanie apologized, 'I wasjust thinking about a business report I was reading last night.' She returnedthe man's gaze and tried to weigh him up. The security report gave no cluesabout a possible way into Giles' head. Now she could see him for herself shewas beginning to understand him a little better.
Initially he had seemed very nervous. Hehad avoided eye-contact and chosen to sit in the business chair. That wasconfusing in itself. Most men, if nervous, would have automatically sat on thecouch (as she suggested) even if they didn't want to: they would have beenunwilling to offend her. After all, not only was she rich and beautiful, shewas also very powerful. To walk past her and choose his own seat was a veryconfident act. Indeed, it was almost rude.
Similarly, his demeanour once seated seemedto be full of contradictions. He had placed his briefcase across his lap. Thiswas clearly an extremely defensive posture. He was physically covering hisgenitals with his briefcase (a symbol of his work). And yet he had made directeye contact the moment he sensed some unease about her accounts.
Stephanie realized that she had played MrGiles wrong from the start. She had under-estimated him. When acting as a manGiles was uncomfortable - he wouldn't share a couch with her and couldn't lookher in the eye. But Giles the accountant – the auditor – was confidentand direct. Stephanie suspected that Giles was uneasy with some aspect of hismasculinity. The security report gave few details about his past lovers: allwomen, all slightly younger than he. None had lasted long and at the moment hewasn't seeing anyone.
Stephanie had been so shocked by hisdecision to sit in the business chair that she had unthinkingly responded tothe perceived challenge. She had automatically taken her chair behind the desk.To an onlooker it appeared very business-like, and that was her problem.Business was Giles' home turf, she needed to de-stabilize him again. Get himthinking like a man, not an accountant.
The hypnotist let out a little yawn. 'Oh,I'm sorry. You see I was working so late last night, reading that report. I'mafraid I'm still a little sleepy.'
'Not at all. It's perfectly understandable.I'll leave you to your work'
'Oh, that's so sweet of you', Stephaniepurred, 'Thank you, but no. Let's get on. Please, do sit down'
A little uneasily, Giles took his seatagain, placed his briefcase in its familiar position across his lap, and lookedat Stephanie: 'Well Dr Nelson. I'm afraid that I'll need more informationbefore I can complete my investigations.'
'More information?' Stephanie lookedpuzzled, and a little hurt, 'Aren't my people co-operating fully?'
'Well, yes but –'
'Oh I'm so pleased', Stephanie interrupted,'I gave very firm instructions that everyone was to be on their best behaviourand cooperate fully. I always insist on politeness and cooperation.'
'Er, yes.' Giles looked a little surprisedby this unexpected piece of information, but soon collected his thoughts, 'Yes,well. Everyone has been very cooperative. But I need more, you see – 'Once again Giles was interrupted by Stephanie, this time it was her decision tostand and stretch.
'I'm sorry Mr Giles. I'm so sleepy, andthese chairs are surprisingly comfortable. Do you mind if I move about alittle?' Stephanie was already moving around from behind the desk. Shestretched once again and was delighted to see Giles momentarily stare at theoutline of her breasts as her stretching forced her silky blouse to pulltightly across her.
Giles blushed and immediately averted hisgaze back down to his briefcase.
'Oh that's so much better.' Stephanieseated herself on the edge of the desk, facing the accountant and looking downon him.
'You were saying something about cooperation?'
'Err, yes. Cooperation.' Giles quickly gatheredhis thoughts and, never moving his eyes from his briefcase, continued 'Yourstaff has been very cooperative but I'm having difficulty understanding theexact range of your business activities. I can see that you have diversifiedand that you're making a very generous donation to the local university, but Ineed more information on the nature of your contracts with clients.'
'My clients are very satisfied', Stephanie smiled.
'Well, they must be because lots of themkeep on buying new products from the different ranges. That's my problem, thepatterns, the demographics, they don't look like the normal trends.'
Stephanie was surprised that Giles had notyet looked up from his briefcase. She crossed her legs, hoping that the soundor the movement in his peripheral vision, would draw his eyes up toward her.'I'm sorry Mr Giles, I don't understand – perhaps it's the lack of sleep – whyare you interested in my marketing demographics? I thought you were anaccountant?'
'I am – ' Giles looked up, caught one glimpseof Stephanie, blushed and looked back down at his briefcase, 'I am anaccountant but the Service give me very wide powers of discretion in my work.'Giles tried to regain his composure. His mind was filled with a snap-shot imageof Stephanie sitting on the edge of the desk; her long legs, the silky blouse,the way she seemed to be leaning over him.
He cleared his throat and continued, 'I amthe most successful investigator the Service has ever had, and my methods aresometimes unorthodox. I like to get a complete picture of a business before Ican be satisfied that everything is in order.'
Stephanie smiled. She could see the turmoil she was creating.But still he avoided eye contact.
'Mr Giles, I want you to be completely satisfied. Really I do.
Mr Giles?'
Stephanie waited, she was determined to have him look at her.
'Mr Gi-les?' Her tone was a little playful, coaxing him to raise his vision.
'Yes?' He glanced up.
'Trust me. I want you to be completely satisfied.'
Giles returned her stare but was once againcomposed, 'Dr Nelson, I don't trust anyone.'
Once again, Stephanie realized that she'd under-estimated her foe. By now most men would be gazing lovingly at her,letting her weave a cocoon of submission around them. But Giles was a man of extremes;at one moment he was awkward and painfully shy, avoiding all eye contact. Butthe next second he could switch, becoming the steely investigator, detached andunflinching.
This was going to be tough. Stephaniesuspected that an instant induction would work on Giles. If she suddenly lentacross, placed a hand on his forehead and commanded 'Sleep!', the chances ofsuccess were good. But not good enough. She would be happier with a slowerinduction but knew there was no way of getting him to fix his gaze on an objectin the usual way. He only looked at her directly when he was in aconfrontational frame of mind and that would be counter-productive.
Stephanie smiled, 'Well Mr Giles. I think Ican help you.' She lent across her desk and activated the intercom to hersecretary, 'Diane, would you have Clare come see me, please. Immediately.'

Spartacus: Genderswap
◆ Brian Austin Green as Lucretia
((Some of these are better quality than others. All I had was MS Paint and Lightroom to work with. I picked Brian for Lucretia because of his bright blue eyes, pointed chin and somewhat heart-shaped face. Plus she has gorgeous curved eyebrows, and he does too. Not to mention they both own dazzling smiles. Plus, we all remember Brian's bleached hair from the 80s, who wouldn't want to see him as a blonde again?.))

Cashmere Blend Tights 3 3
It ran way small. not long enough. Weigh on bottom end of large size and height that the sizing showed. But was way to short in legs February 14, 2013
Not properly sized. I ordered these tights for my grown daughter who has to spend parts of the day outside in our wintery country. She is 5ft. 7in. tall, and weighs 145. She wears a size 12 dress I thought they would fit her with room to spare. When they arrived she tried them on and couldn't even get them up to her hips. They are not the size they say they are. I will send them back and have them replaced with the largest size you carry because she realy needs them. I am sure they are good quality tights but just disappointed that they didn't fit. February 8, 2013
Waited to long to buy! I have been looking at these tights for a long time but was concerned about them being itchy. Finally decided to try. No itching at all and I have very sensitive skin. What a pleasant surprise. Plus, they do not bag or sag, fit perfectly, are cozy and so comfortable. Why did I wait so long to order them???? Will be adding other colors to my collection.

Jim Carrey visits Machu PicchuWednesday, July 6th, 2011
Jim Carrey visits Machu Picchu (seriously)!
The popular Canadian actor Jim Carrey visited the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu on June 30th. Jim Carrey who traveled as a regular tourist traveled first by train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes and then by bus to Machu Picchu, he was recognized by locals and visitors who greeted him and also took pictures with him.
Always showing his good humor, on more than one occasion he said that he was fascinated with the trip and impressed with the architecture of the Incas. He also tried famous Peruvian cuisine. For example, he dinned on Quinoa Taboulé (a salad made of this nutritious Andean grain used by the Incas) and tried Mate de Coca (Coca Tea). Before leaving the Imperial City, he walked around the Plaza de Armas and purchased alpaca fabrics.
National Geographic features Machu Picchu's DiscoveryTuesday, April 5th, 2011
The prestigious magazine National Geographic honors the centenary of the Machu Picchu discovery and publishes in its last edition an extensive special report that reevaluates the main Peruvian touristic attraction. Under the title "The Genius of the Inca", it shows the new discoveries that reveal how this Powerful Empire was forged.
Additionally, National Geographic portal (www.ngm.com) includes diverse links which complement this note, such as an interactive map that shows the Inca Empire extension, the original article written by American expeditionary Hiram Bingham and published in 1913, and also photos of his expedition sponsored by Yale University and the National Geographic Society at that time.
JACK HANNA'S "INTO THE WILD" TAKES VIEWERS INTO THE REMOTE PERUVIAN AMAZON IN 2011Thursday, January 20th, 2011
Starting Feb. 21, 2011, Jack Hanna's "Into the Wild" will begin airing a series of episodes filmed in Peru showcasing the country's rich Amazonian wildlife offerings. Filmed on board the M/V Aqua , the series of episodes will air on various networks across the country and will feature pink dolphins, Amazonian manatees, rare river otters and other exotic fauna and flora found in the remote Peruvian Amazon. The three-episode series on Peru was filmed this past fall with Jack Hanna and his crew traveling to and exploring the Peruvian Amazon by land and river. While filming on board the M/V Aqua vessel, Jack and crew explored the Pacaya Samiria Reserve – one of the most remote areas of the Amazon only seen by a handful of tourists each year. Giant water lilies, sloth, howler monkeys and flirty pink dolphin were some of the wildlife highlights of their excursions into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve. In addition to this, Jack and crew also visited the Manatee and Dolphin Rescue Center in Iquitos. Here, the group observed first-hand while biologists and volunteers cared for endangered Amazon manatees and dolphins. Jack Hanna's "Into the Wild" is set to be one of the most dynamic and in depth views into the Peruvian Amazon's wildlife experiences and tourism offerings. For more information on Jack Hanna, "Into the Wild" and air dates in your city, visit www.jhitw.com.
Go South Adventures offers cruises on the M/V Aqua for your own Peruvian Amazon Cruise Adventure.

Calgar, that was exactly my point, you can't judge a person's utility with DPS meters. There are countless factors that interfere with the exactitude of DPS meters, and a raid should be evaluated as a whole, not as a collection of individual players. Maybe a Ret Pally is just what your raid needed, maybe the moonkin simply gets his class right and is much more useful then your warlock.
My point is: stop asking for things to be handed to you. Great players didn't get there by being buffed, they did it by finding how to play their current class well, and adapt with the changes. I can name at least 1 amazing boomkin, 1 incredible tankadin, 1 unparalleled full holy priest, and the list goes on with class/specs that everyone laughs at, yet that become much more useful to the raid then cookie-cutters thanks to inventive, ressourceful players who just understood what this underdog spec was all about.

Oklahoma Sooners cornerback Aaron Colvin was one of the many athletes competing in Mobile, Alabama this week at the 2014 Reese's Senior Bowl. Unfortunately, Colvin's week came to an end early due to an injury.
Colvin injured his name during the South squad's practice on Tuesday afternoon, before leaving the field with ice wrapped around his knee.
According to Matt Miller of Bleacher Report, the fear is that Colvin may have suffered a torn ACL.
That would obviously be crushing news for the Oklahoma corner so close to the draft.
Prior to heading to Mobile, Colvin was believed to be a second-round prospect. He will obviously slide down draft boards if the torn ACL proves to be the injury he suffered.
People question why some prospects choose to pass on the Senior Bowl, but Colvin's injury shows us why.

Image from the Hubble Space Telescope: What appears as a bird's head, leaning over to snatch up a tasty meal, is a striking example of a galaxy collision in NGC 6745. A large spiral galaxy, with its nucleus still intact, peers at the smaller passing galaxy (nearly out of the field of view at lower right), while a bright blue beak and bright whitish-blue top feathers show the distinct path taken during the smaller galaxy's journey. These galaxies did not merely interact gravitationally as they passed one another, they actually collided.
When galaxies collide, the stars that normally comprise the major portion of the luminous mass of each of the two galaxies will almost never collide with each other, but will pass rather freely between each other with little damage. This occurs because the physical size of individual stars is tiny compared to their typical separations, making the chance of physical encounter relatively small. In our own Milky Way galaxy, the space between our Sun and our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri (part of the Alpha Centauri triple system), is a vast 4.3 light-years.
However, the situation is quite different for the interstellar media in the above two galaxies - material consisting largely of clouds of atomic and molecular gases and of tiny particles of matter and dust, strongly coupled to the gas. Wherever the interstellar clouds of the two galaxies collide, they do not freely move past each other without interruption but, rather, suffer a damaging collision. High relative velocities cause ram pressures at the surface of contact between the interacting interstellar clouds. This pressure, in turn, produces material densities sufficiently extreme as to trigger star formation through gravitational collapse. The hot blue stars in this image are evidence of this star formation.
This image was created by the Hubble Heritage Team using NASA Hubble Space Telescope archive data taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in March 1996. Members of the science team, which include Roger Lynds (KPNO/NOAO) and Earl J. O'Neil, Jr. (Steward Obs.), used infrared, red, visual and ultravoilet filters to image this galaxy system. Lynds and O'Neil are currently using the Hubble data along with ground-based radio observations to further study the interactions within NGC 6745.

But aren't galaxies generally moving apart from each other due to the acts of anti-gravity. I believe at the rate of 1 million mph. I could be wrong but the Einstein thoery of anti-gravity has been proved to be right and quite active (It's funny that Einstein believed his theory of Anti-gravity was the biggest shame in his carrer).

Yes, you are wrong - Einstein never had a theory of anti-gravity.
It's funny that Einstein believed his theory of Anti-gravity was the biggest shame in his carrer
Especially considering no one has heard about it except you.
Well upon further reading i have found that Einstein introduced an anti-gravity constant in his equations which made them wrong, if he hadn't he would have been the first to predict an expanding universe. But i recall anti-gravity being proved right and the reason for pushing galaxies apart.

Entertaining Tip: Our Answer to "What Can I Bring?"
We have a few guidelines we follow that take into account who's asking (i.e. don't ask the Take-out Queen to make dessert) and what's convenient for us, since we've planned and cooked the meal. Read on for our tips...
Don't rely on guests for appetizers. Whether you are setting out a cheese plate or making something more complicated, you want the appetizer ready to go when people arrive. If the friend bringing the crudite gets stuck in traffic, you're stuck, too. For a guest who barely knows his way around a grocery store, you could ask for an extra box of crackers to have as backup in case you run low.
Booze always works. Of course, most people will happily show up with a bottle of wine. We always appreciate this because we aren't wine experts, and if the guest offering is, we'll happily tell her what we're cooking. But if you are picky about which wines to serve (and probably won't serve the guest's), suggest a bottle of prosecco. It's inexpensive, celebratory, and good to drink pre-dinner. Most people like bubbles.
Salads and side dishes are risky. Potlucks are one thing. If you are planning a cohesive menu, it's dicey asking someone to bring a salad or vegetable unless you know their cooking. You can't be too pushy about what you want, and while we're all for casual entertaining and being flexible, you decided to have the dinner party. You probably know what you want to cook already.
Desserts are safer. Dessert is usually more important to us than the main course, so we like to make our own. But it's easy to ask friends to pick up a good bar of chocolate or some cookies as a little extra. If you aren't as controlling about your sweets as we are, and you have a guest who's offering dessert, take it. Anything sugary is usually decent, and if they forget... see booze, above.
Use their skills. Telling someone, "I've got everything I need. But I'd love your help mixing a few martinis when you get here," especially if that person makes good martinis, lets the guest feel useful and answers the "What can I bring?" question easily.
What's your go-to answer when dinner guests ask what they can bring? What do you like to bring when you're the guest?

In Holland, people usually bring a bouquet of flowers when they are invited for dinner. I make sure that the flowers are properly arrange and cut so the host/ess doesn't have to spend too much time looking for a vase and arranging and cutting them.
Other than flowers, I usually bring bon bons, home made cookies/cakes or pie, a selection of cheese or nuts/japanese crackers/wasabi peas for something to have with after dinner drinks. If I bring Prosecco or champagne or white wine, I usually chill them before we leave.
Sometimes I bring something that is just for the hostess and not the dinner like raspberry eau de vie, special olive oil/vinegar or vanilla pods if I know the hostess is an ardent cook/baker.
I try to bring flowers (but you know, I never thought of cutting and arranging first... that would be great).
Since I love to cook but rarely entertain, I also bring 'miscellaneous nothings' - usually some tidbit I've seen online and want to try... spiced almonds, roasted chickpeas, sweet & sassy cashews... munchie sort of stuff.
And I have been known to bring the entire meal, after inviting guests to someone ELSE'S house for dinner. ;)
Great ideas - and I adore Prosecco. Can anyone recommend some good bottles? thanks!
Personally, what I bring depends on the person, and how well I know them. FLowers/wine are always a safe bet.
As for the question "What shall I bring" - my usual response is "Your best personality and that winning smile" or some such.
As a guest you should always remember to respect your host or hostess's wishes when you ask what to bring!
I had a dinner party recently and a guest asked what to bring. I said booze. Not only did booze arrive, but so did a baguette (although I already had one) and a chocolate cake. I spent the better part of a Saturday afternoon slaving over profiteroles and felt compelled to serve the chocolate cake the guest brought. :(
Normally it would be great to have more dessert but there were only five of us at dinner (we didn't even make it through half the cake) and I live alone so extra dessert always eventually ends up in the trash.
Arran - we've tried a few Prosecco labels. We currently like Borgo del Col Alto from the Veneto region.
in place of prosecco, you could try moscato di asti - along the same lines, though a little sweeter than dry.
since we tend to be all-or-nothing entertainer types, i usually assign wine - red, white, or dessert - but depending who asks, sometimes first course (soup, salad) or dessert.
I'm going to invite more Dutch people around, they sound really polite and thoughtful!
I would also prefer flowers since I usually want to be in control of the food and drink, and I always try to bring flowers if the host is not specific.
My usual response is to ask close friends/family to bring something for dessert or whatever they'd like to drink, because a. I don't like to bake, and b. I rarely drink.
Another response, especially if I'm just having an open-house type party, is to bring a friend, add to the fun!
I have found that often when I ask "what can I bring?" I get the "just bring yourself" answer. My mother suggested (and I've found this works) to instead ask, "can I bring ___?" I fill in the blank with a standard and usually accepted answer, like desert, wine, a salad, etc, depending on the event and people involved. I rarely get refused, and then I know that I'm bringing something that is within my means and abilities. It helps the host know what to suggest as well, if my suggestion isn't something they need, so they're not put completely on the spot.
I usually ask friends to bring bread, because it's something that a) I usually forget and b) is easy to find at a store/bakery. Also, baguettes go with just about any dinner.
I usually volunteer to bring dessert. If the offer is accepted I always discuss with the host -- "How about a coconut flan, that might be nice with the curry-- or would you prefer a fruit tart, or something chocolate?" That way, you don't mess up the balance of the meal. If the offer of dessert is refused, I ask if there's something else I can help with. If the answer is no, I bring flowers and something non-perishable like excellent olives, or Marcona almonds. I suggest that my hosts feel free to serve it or keep it for later, whatever they prefer.
These are great suggestions. I never know how to answer the "what can I bring?" question because half the time I can't tell if the person asking is serious, or just trying to be polite.
we usually bring good dark chocolate or truffles (the chocolate variety ;-)
While flowers are nice, they're kind of a pain--especially if you have to stop cooking preparations/hosting to find a vase, cut down the flowers enough to fit in the vase, etc.
Wine, bubbly, or a homemade cordial is always welcome--especially if the dinner goes longer than I expect, it's nice to have more alcohol on hand. It's also nice to tell the host they don't have to serve it tonight--in case they have a more specific plan for drinks. It lets them off the hook and then they don't feel obligated to serve it immediately.
While we're milling around having drinks before dinner, I also like to sample something I've had my eye on. A little nibble of some sort. Stuffed olives, nuts, crackers, a fun cheese, etc.
I host one Seder each year.
Well meaning, nonJewish friends always bring bread, crackers or baked dessert with flour, none of which can be in my kitchen.
I started hosting the final afternoon, setting the baked goods up on a table outside in good weather, and on a very separate table in inclement weather, ready for sundown.

The Moments before slaughter.
If slaughter houses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.
And before anyone jumps down my throat about peta I just want to make it clear that I'm not a fan of theirs, I know about them and I don't support them.
But I do however think Paul McCartney is a wonderful man and for people who don't know what goes on in slaughter houses yet, this video will be pretty informative. Also, these aren't isolated incidents. If you put a bit of time and effort into learning about this, you'd see that farm animal abuse happens constantly all around the world.
pigs are one of the most intelligent animals on earth. they're smarter than your dogs, they're smarter than young toddlers. and you're still consuming their dead bodies and putting up with this horrible abuse. this needs to end.

Vegans are weird?!
Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan explains how he reversed serious health threats by going vegetarian.
And once again, I don't agree most things that peta does, I'm definitely not a fan of theirs. But they do give some pretty good information every once in a while.
