We need to raise $15,640 to meet the full $35,000 match and you can help us get there today by making a donation to support the U.S. Bicycle Route System. We are over halfway to meeting the match and if you give today your donation will go twice as far.
In December of 2012, I wrote a blog post on Bicycle Travel Etiquette in response to some reports that had trickled into our office about less than courteous behavior by traveling cyclists. In an attempt to reverse the trend before it gained momentum, we began soliciting comments from cyclists and hosts, staff members, and representatives of WarmShowers.
If you haven't given yet to support the U.S. Bicycle Route System, we have some fabulous sweepstakes offers this week from Cygolite and Nutcase to inspire and entice.
Imagine taking a bicycle trip and only periodically glancing at your map to check for services in the area. Signed bicycle routes will allow cyclists the freedom to ride with the assurance that they are on the route. Signs will notify motorists to be watchful and mindful of cyclists, and to share the road. We're excited to share the news that there are multiple states working on signing U.S. Bike Routes.
Five days have gone by in our Build it. Bike it. Be a part of it. campaign for the U.S. Bicycle Route System. So far USBRS supporters have contributed $6,500 for the network, qualifying for the 1:1 match, and getting us closer to our $100,000 campaign goal. This week, donate by Friday (5:00 p.m. MDT), and you will be entered to win one of twenty Cygolite setups* valued at $100 each.
Happy National Bike Month! Here is a 1, 2, 3 recap of the first days of the Build it. Bike it. Be a part of it. campaign for the U.S. Bicycle Route System.
Our friends at Two Wheeled Travel, Carolyn Bys and Tyler Robertson, currently live in Warsaw, Poland and wanted to remind us that bicycling infrastructure reaches well beyond the Iron Curtain. They have been traveling by bicycle not only in Western Europe, but also Poland and the Czech Republic, taking spectacular photos of infrastructure as they go.
This isn't a story of kindness while bicycling, but it is a story that takes place in the midst of travel and my actions were based on recollections of how bicycle travelers have been treated by strangers.
We know the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) has thousands of supporters. Show your support and spread the word by "wearing" and sharing this badge on your blog, website, or social-media sites. Link it to our campaign page and help build the USBRS!
In this video, Adventure Cyclist magazine contributor Patrick O'Grady takes a look at the Novara Verita, a suitable "store-brand" bike that will take you everwhere but to the cleaners.
Kick off National Bike Month by giving these would-be bicycle travelers all the things they need to travel by bike. You can help create designated, signed bicycle routes that allow them to ride bicycles from their front doors anywhere their desires take them, and how-to resources from Adventure Cycling to help them pack their panniers, choose gear, read cycling maps, and more.
The photo essay accompanies the story, "Cycling the Old West Scenic Bikeway" by Russ Roca and Laura Crawford, which appeared in the May issue of Adventure Cyclist.
Adventure Cycling Association seeks an energetic, detail-oriented Web Developer/Systems Analyst to develop, administer and support the organization's outward-facing web sites and IT infrastructure. This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys programming and working in an open, friendly environment — and if you ride a bicycle, that's a definite plus.
It's been a cold winter in the Northern climes. Western Montana only started looking like spring a few days ago. The spring Adventure Cycling Big Bend Van Tour had a lot of folks from Northern regions and I think we all found a little joy in the desert sun.
Adventure Cyclist 3.0 starts now, and in the months to come there will be much more to keep readers engaged.
We've made some changes in how you learn about our route network and maps, download GPS information, view route resources, and more. We hope our efforts improve your experience navigating our pages and help you dream of your next bicycle travel adventure.
Adventure Cycling Association is hosting two special regional gatherings in Charleston, SC, and Savannah, GA, on May 12 and May 16 respectively.
As summer draws near and bikes are tuned and back on the road, it's the perfect time to start thinking about a summer bike trip. The only choice you need to make is where to go. Wherever you choose, Adventure Cycling has the perfect trip for you!
When Johnathan returned home from his cross-country ride, he began working at his parents' deli. There, he struck up an ongoing conversation with a regular customer about his ride on the Southern Tier.
Much to our delight, National Geographic Traveler featured our Great Lakes Inn-to-Inn tour in their recent piece, "2013 Tours of a Lifetime." This story led us to think about the rest of our 2013 Guided Tours and which would qualify as "trips of a lifetime." Our cross-country bike tours top the list, whether van supported or self contained, but for a shorter adventures not to be missed? Here are our picks.
Welcome to the new adventurecycling.org! This photo perfectly expresses how we're feeling right now, like we have accomplished a great goal and we're super excited to share it with you! We are thrilled to launch our new website and hope it serves Adventure Cycling members and all traveling cyclists very well. We've been working hard over the last year to build it and look forward to hearing your feedback. This is a quick introduction to the major changes and new features. Enjoy!
In this video, Adventure Cyclist magazine contributor Patrick O'Grady takes a look at the Kona Rove, a steel all-rounder suitable for everything from gravel-grinding to loaded touring.
Last week, we received a package from the Department of Interior. Adam, my colleague, snapped a photo of the envelope and posted it on Facebook. Wow! We didn't realize how excited our supporters would be to know that the final version of the national agreement between Adventure Cycling Association and the National Park Service was finally in hand.

Hello, Metal Gear types!
I'm looking for fans to participate in casual interviews about the male erotic objectification in the Metal Gear series, its depictions of masculinity and your own interpretations of the characters of Raiden (predominantly), Big Boss, Colonel Volgin and Vamp.
My main questions are…
» How is masculinity approached in Metal Gear?
» Are the men of Metal Gear objectified?
» How is Raiden depicted as a man?
This has a bend towards the homosex and 'alternative' masculinity, so please bear this in mind!
Participants should be comfortable communicating via e-mail, Skype or XBox Live chat and would not mind being involved in an academic study.
Please send me an Ask or a Fanmail and we can sort something out!
After finally finishing Rising, I have to say, if you had asked me eight, seven years ago if I'd play a game with Raiden as a lead character again, I would have laughed loudly in your face, thrown my arms up and gone to bathe my soul after MGS2 European Extreme and lift some more weights.
It's weird. He's grown on me like no other character in gaming. I could say something sentimental like, "I've grown up alongside this guy" or "I know how being a survivor impacts upon your life and how hard it is to cope", and feel like a total doof for it, but it's true.
And they say video games don't touch people!
Whenever people complain Raiden is too whiny I just feel like "Oh yeah, why can't he take this whole being half a skull strapped to a robot thing with a sunny disposition"
then there's the whole manipulated and monitored for all of his life, emotionally abused by his spouse in the name of safety, told his child was miscarried, struggles with PTSD and depression, tendency towards alcohol abuse, unwillingly being made into a cyborg and essentially tortured, blowing open the conspiracy and THEN being told his son's alive and his wife is alright (??), then trying to lead a normal civilian life and failing part. …s.
To put it shortly.
Guy's seen some shit.
At least he has a sense of humour! … most of the time.

Issues with current install (v2.3.3)
28 June 2010 at 7:31pm
Hi Guys, I have a site running on version 2.3.3 that is currently live and was hoping to see if I could get some help regarding some issues I have been facing lately.
I have attempted to get an upgrade to 2.4 working all day but have not managed to get it working properly - facing several incompatibility issues, even after making the necessary changes mentioned on the wiki page for upgrading to 2.4 I am still having issues with pages not linking up correctly ($Link), Widgets not displaying, Forms having issues, Images not displaying..
The reason for attempting the upgrade was in the hope that it may possibly alleviate the issues I am currently facing.
The issues lie within the admin area of the CMS - The first issue we encountered was the Files & Images (assets) tab taking phenomenally long to load and timing out on our live server. I have truncated the Files table and allowed SS to rewrite the file-list to the DB - unfortunately this failed to alleviate the issue.
The second issue we are facing is similar - a certain page node times out/gets stuck in a endless loop whenever we try to navigate to it via the Site Tree.. Not sure why, there are two other nodes of the exact same type in the tree at the same level and with more child nodes too. But they seem to load fine most the time.
The error that we receive tends to occur in:
• sapphire/core/model/SQLQuery.php on line 399
• sapphire/core/model/MySQLDatabase.php on line 455
Error generally states that the memory limit was exhausted. We have allocated over 350mb to the site and it still reaches this limit which is obviously abnormal behaviour.
Any help is much appreciated.

29 June 2010 at 3:49pm
Hi Andy,
Lets go through all the issues one at at time -
Files and Images taking too long to load: How many images have you got? When SS parses the assets to rebuild that table it will have to do a bit of processing and a database write per file. If you have a lot of files you will have a lot of database writes which = slowness. Also check to ensure your assets folder is read and writable by the web user. You may just have to up the execution time just to run that once off.
SiteTree Node not loading: Anything special about that node (look in the database via phpmyadmin or some other GUI). Is it missing a class name? Content field got something weird in it? (again a GUI DB tool is best for this) compare the row to the ones that work and see if somethings up. If its hitting memory limits could be looping. New in 2.4 is the nested urls so perhaps if you have a link to itself (or ParentID is set to itself) it could be looping rather nastly)
Forms having issues: Majority of issues will be around DateFields and the new Date API. Read the new Date documentation for how to use the new API - http://doc.silverstripe.org/datefield
Images not displaying: Permissions issue maybe? Webserver unable to read files or generate the thumbnails.
Pages not linking up correctly: Have you moved to the new nested urls functionality (SiteTree::enable_nested_urls()?) it should rewrite all the link tags to this new nested structure for you once you run dev/build.
Hope that helps
Re: Issues with current install (v2.3.3)
29 June 2010 at 3:59pm
Hi Willr,
Thanks for the reply.
I don't think we are going to upgrade to 2.4 simply because of the difficulty I have faced in doing so the last couple days and it's a very time-consuming process.
The assets folder has less than 200 files in it. Even after the file list is built and present in the database, we still have timeout issues.. Which means there's something failing in the backend - I'm guessing structurally, the database may have some issues.
The permissions are all set correctly, in which there are RW permissions enabled for web users.
I made sure nested URLs was disabled in the config file so it wouldn't be that.
I will investigate the SiteTree Node in the DB now and get back to you regarding that.
Cheers, I'll post back with my results.
Re: Issues with current install (v2.3.3)
29 June 2010 at 5:06pm
Ok I had a look at the SiteTree node in the DB and noticed that for this specific entry, the only major difference was the version number.
For some reason the node that has issues is up to version 70 where the others are 4 and 2 respectively.
We have been truncating the versions tables to save on storage as we have an import script running daily which imports products into the system, creating multiple versions and subsequently bloating the database.

Fourth annual event will start at Lee Wenner Park in Cocoa
By Sue DeWerff
For Hometown News
Testing the endurance and both physical and mental strength of the competitors, this year's fourth annual Causeway to Causeway Paddleboard Challenge hopes to be one of the largest of its kind on the East Coast.
Often compared to an Iron-Man triathlon, the marathon-like paddleboard event will begin at 8:30 am on Saturday, Oct. 9.
Paddlers, using any type of flotation device that can be paddled, including SUP boards, kayaks, surfskis, or outrigger canoes will race along the Indian River from the 520 causeway, completing an 11-mile course down to the Pineda causeway, then returning back to Lee Wenner Park.
A maximum of eight hours will be allowed to finish the race. Each contestant will be completely self-sufficient with respect to water and fuel during the race.
Long-time paddler and Melbourne Beach resident Chip Bock admits that keeping hydrated is the key to competing in these events. He carries a 100-ounce camel back and additional soft flask for liquids while competing so that he can avoid a need to stop along the way, saving precious minutes in the race.
Finishing in first place last year, Tristan Fielder clocked an amazing time of just three hours, 45 minutes, paddling his surfski. This year, competitors will be allowed to enter the 11-mile leg of the race, as well, and will be required to finish within the four-hour time limit.
"To my knowledge, this is one of the longest organized paddling events on the East Coast, and our hopes are to build the contest into a regatta-type event that will not only draw a wide-range of spectators, but also contestants from throughout the state and nationwide," said John Hughes, director of the Cocoa Beach Surf Museum and organizer of this event.
This year's sponsors include U.S. Marine, Florida Powerboat Club and the Cigarette Boat Racing Team.
An entry fee of $20 per paddler will include a free barbecue picnic to be held after the race.
For more information on entering the paddleboard challenge or to donate to the event visit www.CocoaBeachSurfMuseum.org or contact John Hughes, event coordinator at (321) 720-8033.

Metro Newsroom

Thursday January 6, 2011
Louisville Metro CouncilMedia AdvisoryFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: STEPHEN HAAG, JR. 574-1204 / 645-1752
Louisville, KY; Metro Councilman Ken Fleming (District 7) has filed a resolution requesting a change by the Kentucky General Assembly to allow for a uniform usage of net operating losses for those filing Louisville Metro's Form OL-3.
The resolution, R-08-01-11, will be given its first reading during the Thursday, January 6, 2011 organizational meeting of the Metro Council. This resolution is expected to be sent to the Metro Council's Budget Committee for review.
"The slow economy has hurt businesses, causing many business owners to shy away from investing in their companies. This resolution seeks to end the penalty for those who want to grow their business by changing the way the Louisville Metro Revenue Commission collects taxes. I am hopeful this resolution will bring uniformity to our local code and will signal that Louisville is open for business expansion." – Ken Fleming, District 7 Metro Council
"Many Louisville businesses have suffered losses. Giving them the opportunity to apply their losses to future gains allows them to retain cash for reinvestment in capital and hiring people. Helping business innovate and grow is essential and this approach is one step in the right direction." – Jonathan Blue, Chair and Managing Director for Blue Equity
The resolution requests the Commonwealth of Kentucky's General Assembly to modify KRS 67.750 (Section 8) to allow businesses in consolidated governments the ability to deduct net operating loss. Losses are created not only when business income decreases due to a poor economy, but also can occur when a company makes a significant investment in its physical properties, equipment or expansion of services. Both Federal and State government allow these losses to offset profit in future years. This resolution was submitted by Councilman Fleming after months of research and after numerous meetings with local business leaders and job creators.Sponsor:Ken Fleming (R) 7

Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 brings you the ultimate in electronic information protection. With Outpost 4.0, you get the highest level of proactive protection against Internet-borne spyware, keyloggers, Trojans and other unauthorized attempts to access the data on your PC — even if you're running 64-bit Windows.
Let's take a closer look at what's new.
Leak tests measure a firewall's effectiveness in preventing personal information from leaking through outbound filters. Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 is able to block all known existing techniques to steal confidential data from your PC via unauthorized channels such as spyware. You can read the complete results of Outpost 4.0 vs leak tests.
Here's a summary of leak test improvements in Outpost 4.0:
Outpost Firewall PRO 4.0
Outpost Firewall PRO 3.5
Windows Firewall
Customizable prevention of unauthorized attempts to control trusted applicationsCustomize the list of applications you trust to make outbound data transfers. This function prevents stealthy access attempts by malicious applications masquerading as legitimate applications.
Block the use of command line parameters to launch a browser Many applications can be configured to launch browser windows when you click on a URL (Outlook, Microsoft Office, ICQ and many others). To avoid unwanted browser launches by malicious programs, you can create your own list of programs allowed to open browser windows.
Customizable control over application memory Use your customized list of trusted applications to ensure malicious programs can't use the memory space of a trusted application to execute their payload.
Active Desktop control Active Desktop components may contain malicious code that can transfer confidential data on behalf of Windows Explorer. Outpost prevents this kind of malicious code from installing or executing.
Prevent attempts to control other applications' windows Malicious programs can emulate keystrokes in other program windows and make unauthorized data transfers between those windows. Outpost detects these attempts, checks for legitimacy and blocks any unauthorized attempts to transfer data.
Prevent attempts to modify critical registry entriesThe registry contains the configuration settings for all programs. Outpost 4.0 lets you customize the list of applications allowed to make changes to the registry.
Double DNS resolution control Outpost 4.0 prevents the use of advanced hacking techniques that could allow intruders to steal data through DNS requests.
Low-level network access controlMalicious code, once installed on your system, may attempt to mimic normal system activity and initiate outbound connections. Outpost detects such attempts and alerts you with a prompt for next action.
Agnitum's engineers have significantly increased the level of protection against spyware. Here's how Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 is now even more effective in monitoring, detecting and removing both known and unknown spyware:
Improved system performance Outpost 4.0 uses a new method of comparing programs with the spyware database that significantly increases scan speed.
Additional protection through "scan before execute" option Outpost simulates the execution of every application in a closed 'sandbox' and tests it for legitimacy before allowing or blocking its actual execution. System performance is unaffected.
New spyware signature analyzer Spyware detection algorithms that are even more accurate increase your protection against known and unknown malware.
Outpost Firewall Pro now includes a self-protection mode that acts as a defense shield around the program to prevent the firewall from being deactivated by viruses, Trojans or spyware. Even attempts to shut down the firewall by simulating keystrokes are detected and stopped. Outpost continuously monitors its own files on the hard drive, as well as registry entries, memory status and running services, and blocks any attempted changes by malicious applications. You can turn this self-protection mode off and on to permit the installation of new plug-ins and other configuration adjustments.
ImproveNet was introduced in an earlier version of Outpost Firewall Pro as a means of making Outpost easier to use and providing additional security. It works by collecting, testing and redistributing commonly used rule sets to Outpost users.
In Outpost 4.0, ImproveNet now gathers information at the local PC level about how programs interact, providing a new level of security over local processes. These new local rules are automatically updated and distributed to ImproveNet subscribers to fine-tune the differentiation between safe and unsafe activities.

Figure 1 above shows how ImproveNet worked in Outpost 3.5, covering rules governing inbound and outbound traffic connections.

Figure 2 above shows how ImproveNet now provides rule sets for application interaction at the local level in Outpost 4.0.
Learn more about ImproveNet 4.0:
Entertainment mode When you're focused on playing games or watching a movie online, you don't want to be interrupted by requests from your firewall to make a decision about allowing or rejecting a particular connection. So Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 provides an "Entertainment Mode" that suppresses firewall pop-up messages when specific programs (the list is customizable) are running. Switching to entertainment mode does not affect the security level of the firewall.
For advanced users: adaptive firewall rules Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 includes macro definitions for applications, which enable you to manually define security rules for individual applications and Windows-based services. For example, you can now choose to limit DNS requests to the list of DNS services built into the network adaptor. If DNS is trying to reach an unlisted DNS server, you will be prompted to allow or block this action.
With the release of Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0, you can experience the full benefits of Ultimate Proactive Protection without sacrificing usability — all in a single, proven personal firewall that doesn't cost the earth. Outpost Firewall Pro supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.

Ceasefire has no rest as violation kept by Armenian Armed Forces
08 April 2014 [12:30] -
Armenian armed forces have once again violated ceasefire, according to Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.
The opposing side opened fire overnight at Azerbaijani armed forces from positions near the Bash Garvand and Javahirli villages of Aghdam district and Namirli village of Tartar district.
The shooting was countered by return fire.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

I would just like you to be warned that I have reported you for violating the community standards. Specifically the standards that deal with self-harm and creating a space that promotes refusing medical intervention and continuing in harmful behavior. I have also reported you on the grounds of vicious speech, as many people come to this blog to politely ask questions have received vicious responses. Seeing friends be ravaged by ED I hope you take this as an opportunity to encourage treatment.
Asked by
You have absolutely no idea what behaviors our posters have. You ASSUME harmful behaviors, based on YOUR bigotry. Some of our readers do indeed have anorexia and bulimia, and we encourage them to seek help, but we know that often, medical professional disbelieve them and shame them for trying to get treatment. We know, because there are studies demonstrating it, that there is a huge amount of bias against fat people among medical professionals, and that biased medical professionals give fat people poor and inappropriate care. We encourage fat people to stand up for themselves to doctors and demand appropriate care. We encourage them to refuse treatment that does not address their problems, but only their fatness, and to reject weight loss as a cure because weight loss does not work long-term and many attempts at it are harmful.
We encourage our readers to stand up to bigots and fatphobes LIKE YOU, who pretend to worry about our health, but ignore the very real damage done by fat shaming, by inappropriate treatment, by weight loss attempts.
Self-harm? We favor self-care, whether that means getting healthy (genuinely healthy, for the individual, and not thin) or not, as an individual chooses, because we know that an individual's health is not the business of others. We encourage people to make their own decisions about their bodies, to take back their autonomy from a society that tells them that their bodies are public property.
You reported us because you hate fat people, and cannot stand anyone telling fat people that they're ok as they are. You will not look at the mountain of evidence and studies we have posted who actively refutes your idea that fat is automatically healthy, and you continue to declare yourself the proper judge of others' health, about which you know nothing, and which you have no right at all to judge.
Good to know who you are, I suppose.
Just sent them a note to ask them to explain how they can be chronically ill and advocate total mindless subservience to doctors?! I'll tell you right now, none of them would have survived their challenges in that mode and I'm sure they know this.
It's like a person who's been in and out of psychiatric hospitals over a long period advising others to submit to toxic quack treatments they know nothing about. Whilst they fight and stand up for their rights and refuse treatment as they see fit.
NB. This is just another way of telling fat people to submit to abuse. Crediting themselves with knowledge about us and crediting us with no knowledge of ourselves as usual. Even though we are told constantly, we are unwell. We apparently don't know anything about it. Proving yet again these liars know we aren't ill, but they want us to pretend we are and just submit to any harm.
Not only are they spiteful and ignorant, they are dishonest and hypocritical. Mis-using the greater status accorded them.
Well, what they and others with louder voices who are trying this line ought to know is that if they shut parts of FA down. They'll leave people with some time on their hands to comb through their blogs, rigourously applying their own standards to their outpourings. I hope they consider the opportunity to either get a clue or move the hell on.
Don't be bullied by these people.
I agree with the above, and I will be drafting a FAQ to address this latest attempt to silence our and our followers' voices.
Detractors: if you have solid arguments against us, you're free to present them on your own space, and to garner your own following. But besides people invested in the greater status accorded to them by virtue of their body size, and some cackling hens more interested in impersonating fat people and making jokes out of fat peoples' lives, you don't have much of a following, do you?
TITP scares you not because you actually believe it's "dangerous" in the general sense, but because you recognize it poses a danger to the way your view your world, and the worth you accord to yourself. If the things we and our followers say on TITP have any credence, that would threaten the value you've place on looking a certain way; it would threaten your ability to automatically feel superior to an entire group of people; it would expose that all the "hard work" you've done to garner or maintain a privilege depends on the great, daily, and continued harm to fat people.
You need fat people to suffer, or else your thin privilege wouldn't get you any rewards.
You need fat people to hate themselves. You need them to receive poor medical care and thus be bullied into believing they don't deserve the same level of care as you do. You need them to earn less. You need them to be invisible in the media. You need fat people to be tortured thin on national television. All of this grants worth to being thin, grants automatic social status to thin people for their bodies — not their characters, not anything they've created, just a shell that's conforming to a privileged "look."
Why do so many trolls seek out TITP to attack? We certainly don't go wading into their waters in 4chan, reddit, or the other places they've gathered to cackle and huff over our existence. It's because we dare to say that the hollow qualities they pride themselves on aren't meaningful. Because we dare to say that their privilege actively hurts a lot of people — that their privilege can't exist without oppression.
I don't think that many of the people who troll us are bad, fundamentally. But I think you've rationalized your fear and hatred as being a good thing for the people you hate. I think TITP bothers you because we're exposing your fear and hatred as the purely destructive force that it is. That doctors who are disgusted by their patients don't care for them as well. That parents who are disgusted by their fat children don't treat them as well. That employers who are disgusted by their fat employees don't give them the best opportunities. That a nation who is disgusted with its fat citizens passes laws to discriminate against them.
What scares you the most, though — because it undermines your sense of unearned worth — is that TITP claims that fat people deserve good medical care; that fat children deserved to be loved as much as thin children; that fat employees are just as able and hard working as thin employees; that fat citizens contribute just as much as thin citizens.
TITP doesn't promote self-harm. It promotes self-love. The culture of fat discrimination promotes active, continual, and sometimes mortal harm to fat people. This is the culture supported by TITP's detractors. A culture they profit from. A culture that gives them rewards that they wouldn't get in a society that treated fat people well.

Holiday Lights
On behalf of Eastside Holiday Lights, Thank you for allowing us to be a part of creating your holiday light experience.
Nothing puts a damper on your holiday plans like climbing onto your rain soaked roof and carefully edging your way (don't look down!) across the treacherous, steep-pitched roof line and realizing that your old strand of lights does not work anymore. Now you have the frustrating task of figuring out which light on the endless strand has gone bad!
To avoid the "Griswold Family Christmas" approach, call Eastside Holiday Lights. Not only will we professionally install your holiday-light-wonderland, we will either bring along their own assortment of Christmas lights and customize it specifically for your home, or use your existing lights. We do simple rooflines to extreme rooflines, no task is too large. Holiday lights is our busiest time of year. We suggest you call by September to reserve your spot. Contact us your address with your request, and we'll give you an estimate just for your home.
Tips to know:
What lights should I use on my home?
Eastside Holiday Lights recommends c7 incandescent bulbs because they are energy efficient, reliable for years to come, and illuminate a beautiful warm light.
What about Icicle lights?
There are many brands of Icicle lights, but there are only a few that we recommend because they look the best and are more efficient to install then others. The down side to Icicle lights is that they cost more, more time consuming to install then a c7, and are not as reliable as traditional bulb lights.
What about Led Lights?
LED lights are becoming more and more popular because of how energy efficient they are, however that is about all they have going for them. The biggest drawback is the look, Most LED lights put off a very cool base feel rather than the traditional warm base. Another drawback is the upfront purchase cost. The only LED light that we recommend is "LED warm light" Keep in mind that LED warm light is not as attractive as traditional incandescent lights, but they are hands down much better than the "LED Cool light." Lastly, Led lights are not reliable, this may change as technology improves.
Holiday light design tips:
Center around the focal point of your home. The focal point of your home should be the roof lines and the front door. If strategically placed properly, the inside Christmas tree can also be a focal point from the outside. If you are lighting p your back yard the focal point should be the entertaining area. Start first with designing your holiday light display around the roofline of the home. We strongly recommend you us C9 or C7 bulbs; they give of a warm base feel and are attractive to the eye. C9 bulbs are bold, however C7 are a great alternative because they are also effective, but give a more elegant touch and save you 33% on your energy.
Place lights in proportion to what you are decorating. When outlining garage doors, C7 bulbs would be more proportionate with the doors then C9. If your home sits high on a hill and could be seen from a far more distance,C9 bulbs would give a more of pop then a C7. Mini lights are great for small shrubs and trees, C7 bulbs are great for large trees. If you live on a corner lot, consider designing both street side rather than the traditional front view.
Do not buy new lights before consulting with Eastside Holiday Lights? After years of experience, we've learned that there are the right lights to buy that meet and exceed home owner's expectations, and there are the wrong light that causes home owners to have buyer remorse with feelings of regret and frustration. We've developed a preferred list of lights that he now carries in stock to make your holiday light experience most pleasurable, these lights are on his preferred list because they look the best, are energy conscious, most reliable, and are the most all around cost effective choice. If you buy new lights other then our preferred list then rates may increase because other lights are much harder and more time consuming to install.
Existing Holiday light Customers: We've tentatively placed you on a reoccurrence for next year to insure you get in between November 1st and December 1st, you will get an email reminder in October to confirm your appointment. We've worked hard in creating your lights to have a low profile during the day when they are turned off, this means the lights can be installed earlier or taken down later then the home owner planes to keep them on.
Your appointment time: The appointment time in which you will receive may change due to weather changes in which you will receive a general email notifying you of how many days we are expecting to be behind. We will begin the holiday light season a little earlier then in the past to insure that everyone's lights are up in time for the holidays. If you have a specific time you need the light up please notify us so that we can accommodate accordingly.
What must you do to prepare for your Schedule Appointments? You are not expected to be present when we install your lights, if you know that you are going to be away during your appointment please do the following in preparation:
1) Please remember to leave your light out were you feel they will be safe.
2) If your power source is inside please plug in an extension cord, and run it outside, or email us a temporary door code the day before your appointment.
3) If your lights are connected to a switch inside please leave the switch on before you leave so we can test the lights when he is done to insure everything is working properly for your holiday light experience.
Taking down lights: The lights will be put down in the order in which they are put up so there are no schedules appointments for takedown, and you are not expected to be present. Light take down will begin the Monday after new-year and will all be down by The 20th of January unless weather conditions permit otherwise in which you will be notified. If you want the light up after January 1st please notify us so that we does not take them down prematurely. Also, do not feel like you have to turn your light off after new year's day, more and more home owners are leaving there lights up later to extend their holiday experience.
Storage: We have taken down your light in away so that they are the most efficient to install for the following year, please keep the lights and supplies stored as we left them and keep them stored separate from any other holiday decorations, if the lights have been tampered with and or are combined with or holiday light decoration this will slow down our efficiency and a small fee will accrue.
Energy Cost: If you want to know how much energy you are using to power your lights, please inform us and we will configure your cost based on how many amps your light pull, and how long your lights are on each day.
Increasing efficiency: Each year we find new ways to improve the install and the take down procedure of holiday lights. At times you may see a small increase in your bill that will be needed to modify your light to keep up with technology; these modifications will save you more money by avoiding rate increases that would otherwise due to old technology and inefficiency.
Trouble shooting: Please notify us immediately if any issues occur with your lights so that he can get them fixed as quickly as possible.
Contact us your address with your request, and we'll give you an estimate just for your home.
On behalf of the Eastside Holiday Lights, Merry Christmas!

Teen Alcohol and Marijuana Use on the Rise
How can we stop our kids from putting themselves at risk?
A new study has found that alcohol and marijuana use among teens is on the rise, ending a decade-long decline.
Thirty-nine percent of teens in grades 9 through 12 reported drinking alcohol in the last month, and 25 percent reported smoking marijuana in the past 30 days.
Gulp. For mothers, those statistics certainly are alarming. How can we discourage our kids from such risky behaviors? Good communication is key.
Talking to teens about pot
The website Parents: The Anti-Drug has some great sample conversation-starters here, with expert advice on talking to your teen about marijuana, including:
* Take initiative in getting educated about the dangers of today's marijuana and other drugs. Much has changed in the last generation and the risks are much higher. We know a lot more about how marijuana affects a teen's developing brain.
* Encourage your teen's input. Listen to what your teen has to say and don't make value judgments. Teenagers want respect as much as you do.
* If you haven't done so, now is the time to set clear rules and consequences about drug/alcohol use. Explain them to your teen and regularly remind him/her of your expectations.
* Don't expect everything to go smoothly. You have a teenager, and there will be conflict. Just remember to stay calm and loving.
Talking to teens about drinking
MADD recommends the following five steps for parents:
Step 1: Think of yourself as a coach
Your role in preventing underage drinking is similar to coaching. You can help your teen by:
* Sharing information
* Discussing choices and monitoring behavior
* Helping your teen anticipate and handle challenging situations
* Cheering your teen on to make smart, safe choices
Step 2: Get busy communicating
Begin a series of conversations with your son or daughter -- proactively, before he or she gets caught drinking -- about how:
* Alcohol is a drug with serious sedative effects
* Drinking has health dangers and other risks for young people
* It is illegal to drink before the age of 21
* You want your teen to be safe and respect the law
* Your teen can plan ways to resist peer pressure to drink
Step 3: Keep track of your teen
You need to know what your teen does after school, at night and on weekends -- and with whom.
* Agree on rules, limits and consequences
* Monitor all in-person and online activities
* Know your teen's schedule
* Make sure he or she has your permission for activities
* Talk to parents of kids with whom your teen spends time
* Enforce consequences consistently
Step 4: Show respect and caring
Your teen will respond better when you
* Listen respectfully to his or her ideas and concerns
* Explain that rules, limits and consequences are meant to protect them
* Help your teen think logically and make smart choices
* Remind your teen how much you love and care about them
Step 5: Be a positive role model
Your teen will be most receptive to your guidance if you lead by example and act responsibly.

What a great blog. I spend days on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your website and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an amazing post. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of informative and quality content is definitely extremely rare with the large amount of blogs on the internet.
I recently came across your web site and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my very first comment. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this website very frequently.
Keep up the good work. Everyone is opened to there opinion. Excellent blog here, i am still reading
Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or maybe you could give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible? Just a suggestion.

- Amazing experiencewendilynDined on 9/5/2014We showed up early for our reservation. They took us right back. The service was fantastic and the food excellent. The noise was loud but not annoying. The value for the meal was exceptional.Special Features:
- awesomemonkeyseeDined on 9/5/20141st experience was awesome. Had a group of 10 when it was said and done. Our waiter " Dominic" I beleive acrtually stayed after his time to contnue to serve our table 7 hrs and 480.00 later we were very satisfiedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FanadvchknVIPDined on 8/29/2014Unless you are a fan of the tv show, don't go just to eat. It does look like a good place to stay for live music.Special Features:
- Noisy, noisy, noisyGustoDined on 8/28/2014Pretty cool spot, but make sure you know what you're signing up for - which is a loud bar and bands doing sound checks outside that actually rattle the windows. Converstaion is challenging. Service is good. Food is about what you'd expect. Heavy on salt and grease.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoy comingGMBGDined on 8/25/2014I visit gas monkey at least once a week for lunch, great food. The prices are reasonable except for the merchandise. But great environment, good live music sometimesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatbossDined on 8/22/2014Great, good food, nice atmosphere, it fits the Gasmonkey feeling. Also went to the Gasmonkey at Dallas Airport, the food was also very nice over thereSpecial Features:
- Awesome first experienceDeVoDined on 8/22/2014We had a party of 5 coming in with reservations and some more friends joined so they were last minute able to accomodate us with an amazing booth for 9. Friendly and helpful seating staff and wait staff. Food was good. Drinks were AMAZING - had a monkey martini and margarita. Loved that the food was served in oil pans and there are a lot of small touches like leopard print silverware and metal grey take home boxes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Gas Money bar&grill experience.lovestoeatDined on 8/20/2014The experience I had at Gas Monkey was absolutely amazing. The room had a nice flow about it and the staff was wonderful. The food was simply amazing, some of the best damn ribs I have ever eaten anywhere. About the only thing that caught me off guard was the paying for the souvenir glasses without being asked if we wanted them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surprised for lunchChanceDined on 8/20/2014I took my son to the garage and then to the Bar n Grill for lunch as a end of summer treat. I expected the food to be mediocre because, after all, the BnG was built on the back of GMG and cable stardom. However, the Pulled Pork and Chicken sandwiches were far above average for a small concert venue/bar, the service was speedy, and the place clean. I was also inexpensive enough to return for more than a special treat with a car-obsessed teenager. High marks to the crew.Special Features:
- ChelzDined on 8/14/2014Totally loved our time at Gas Monkey! The service was great, food was great, great atmosphere- loved it!! The only thing that would of made it better is if the guys from the show would of been thereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- gas monkilisciousmontyjodyDined on 8/4/2014Food was much better than expected. Wish we could have seen Richard or one of the monkeys, but definitely worth the trip and they have a military discount on the food (but not in the retail store).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- COOG1Dined on 7/31/2014The food was really more like bar food than I expected. It was really greasy. Too loud to visit with people at our table. Really great for out of town visitors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experiencePeanut2121Dined on 7/17/2014We really enjoyed our time at Gas Monkey Bar & Grill. The only negative was the prices of the merchandise in the gift shop??? $150 is a bit much for four t-shirts!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- hflo2011Dined on 6/12/2014I took my husband for his birthday and we both had a great time! Would definitely come back. Both had brisket plates...the brisket was awesome but the side dishes are a little different for me. Great for people that like to experiment though. We felt like the food prices were really reasonable bug souvenir prices were pretty high ($30 for a tshirt!!). Still, it was overall a great experience and we would definitely dine here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mouthwatering Burger & Great StaffOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/11/2014Very relaxing atmosphere. Food was fabulous. One of the best burgers I have had in a very long time. Waitress was very friendly and stayed in tune with refilling drinks all night at our table and was on it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Sort of a biker barLove2eatSteakDined on 5/29/2014Good food, loud, entertaining, service was ok, but this place has a lot if fun things going for it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- goodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/27/2014Service from waitress was excellent. We waited longer than usual for our drink order to be taken. Not a good selection of food from menu. Several people in our party wanted the chicken fried steak but waitress did not recommend it due to "still trying to perfect it" . Took a long time for our food order to come out. U personally wouldn't go back but would only recommend it for the experience. It is a typical bar and grill would have expected more from it being gas monkey. ..Special Features:
- AwesomeMikieDined on 5/27/2014Had a awesome time at the Bar and Grill. Friendly Staff and perfect food.Special Features:
- Our special dinnerGMBGfanDined on 5/22/2014We were in Dallas to attend our daughter receiving her wings with Southwest Airlines. Being a fan of 'Fast and Loud', she really wanted to go to Gas Monkey for dinner. The food was excellent and our waiter, Spencer, was very personable and professional. Overall, an A+ all the way around!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed - quality needs workCbranch2Dined on 5/19/2014drove in from Fort Worth made reservations via Open Table. The wait staff was nice and friendly, checkin on us (thanks Andrew!), our food was the main disappointment, it was between cold and almost lukewarm. The smoked queso was cold enough to have a film on top when served, the chips were super greasy and cold. The brisket tasted like it would have been awesome if it was served at correct temp. The sides were so cold it made me gag. The burgers were cooked to correct doneness, but they were barely warm. The strawberry margarita was awesome. They seemed to have enough staff etc and the place wasn't packed but was decently fulled with tables,so I'm not sure what the problem was. Would love to come back, but I am not sure I will.Special Features:
- Not just a gimmickbmwru735Dined on 5/7/2014You do NOT have to be a fan of the show or even hot rods to enjoy this place. The service was really outstanding, friendly and attentive without being pushy. Danny was our bartender and was so likeable we canceled our reservation ( the hostesses were great too) and ate at the bar. Food was good, but came out warm not hot. That's my only complaint. The flavors were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Work NightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/5/2014We had a blast. It was our first time and we enjoyed it. We were from out of down and took someone with us that lives in Dallas, he is now going to bring some people back for lunch. It was great, only thing that would of made it better was if the 2 guys would of been there. One of the girls with us loves that show and hated she did not get to meet them. Thank you, RhondaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

by Adrienne Laursen
For some, dating is exciting and represents a future full of hope and promise. But for most of us, dating is scary, confusing and something we would prefer to avoid at all cost. Adrienne Laursen, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of The Engagement Coach, shares tips for starting dating out on the right foot and rocking that first date.
Less is more
Both time spent together on the first date, as well as information provided.
Don't dump and don't reveal your whole life story!
Stay away from topics like your ex, your family issues, your weird habits, etc. You want to leave some information and stories for the second and third dates, and you want to leave him/her wanting to learn more about you. What you don't want is to leave him/her feeling like you should have booked an appt. with your therapist.
Listen more than you speak
Compliment, ask questions and show genuine interest in your date's responses. Don't make the whole date about you! Just be cautious not to turn the date into an interview.
Choose a fun activity
Ice skating, rock climbing… avoid alcohol. Everyone does dinner and drinks, choosing an activity gives you more insight into how your date handles life, teaches you, accepts feedback, shows you their capacity for fun, etc.
It also gives you something to do so there's less chance for awkward silences.
It gives you an opportunity for a little physical touch, which is good for forming an instant connections and determining whether or not there's an attraction or chemistry between the two of you.
Practice & Prepare
Until you get comfortable engaging in first dates, practice at home before you go. Practice in the mirror… your smile, your responses to questions, positive affirmations, self-complimenting, etc.
Plan ahead for where you'll meet, what you'll wear, how much you may need to spend.
Google some first-date questions so you feel comfortable filling the space should there be any awkward silences.
Also practice first-dating by going on multiple dates. Dating is a skill that most people need to sharpen.

Public Opinion Survey
In March 2011, the Portland Business Alliance and Portland General Electric released results of a public opinion survey of registered voters in four Portland-metro counties. The survey, conducted by noted pollster Tim Hibbitts of Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall, showed voters' utmost concern is job opportunities. Results also revealed voters want a greater statewide focus on the economy and job creation.
The survey assessed voters' opinions about the economic and job climate as well as voter priorities and goals for the region and their quality-of-life priorities. The poll also gauged whether voters understood where the region stood in terms of average income, finding more than half of the survey respondents were unaware the region's average income sits below the national average. Additionally, 66 percent of respondents were not satisfied with a lower-than-average income and believe quality of life begins with a good-paying job.

Day 7 - Outside Musée Du Lourve collecting thoughts to write home. It was a museum kind of day in Paris. We first hit up Musée d'Orsay, cruised through Notre Dame de Paris, and made our way through the Lourve (which is massive and tiring). To cap off the night we visited the Eiffel Tower again, this time at night. During the evenings, the tower "sparkles" for about five minutes every hour on the hour.
This photo is part of a set where I am posting one photo a day for that day exactly one year ago during my Eurotrip in 2010.
