Columbia Omni-Freeze Ice promises a cool run
Columbia, the outdoor clothing company, is about to launch a new range of T-shirts that will actively cool runners when they sweat.
The new technology, called Omni-Freeze Ice, works by detecting the moment moisture hits the fabric's surface. That process then sets off a chemical reaction, which releases a cooling agent that reduces the temperature of the shirt, cooling the runner at the same time.
"Omni- Freeze Ice capitalises on the sweat that your body produces to deliver aggressive heat management," explains Columbia. "The moment moisture hits the fabric's surface, the temperature of the fabric is lowered, creating an immediate cooling sensation."
The new material will be available in three garments; a Men's Insight Ice Short Sleeve Crew, a Men's Solar Polar 1/2 Zip, and a Women's Insight Ice Short Sleve V-neck.
Not one to just take Columbia's word for it, Pocket-lint got to try the new material at its UK launch, ahead of a further test we plan to do out on a series of runs.
As you can see from the picture, we strapped a tubi-grip like sample of the material onto one arm before the PR girl sprayed us with water. The effects were instant, with the arm feeling noticeably colder straight away. It was almost as if we had been sprayed with Deep Freeze.
Without going on a run, it is hard to determine at this stage whether or not that would be a pleasant thing, but it is clear from our quick test that you are going to feel cooler wearing this than a standard T-shirt - even it if has a wicking system.
That coolness should make the run more comfortable, which in turn should mean you are able to push yourself harder and hopefully faster.
The new range is out in the shops shortly.

Printing on fabric is one of the easiest ways to create your own unique textiles. In our free eBook, Techniques For Printing on Fabric: Free Tutorials for DIY Screen Printing, Monoprinting and More, you'll learn how to make a silk screen, how to screen printing, gelatin and collograph monoprinting techniques, and more.
I've always found quilters to be a generous bunch, always ready to share a technique or some fabric from their stash.
Last year about this time, I was inspired by a group dyeing adventure at the Interweave offices to host my own dyeing party at home.
In The Art of Thread Sketching: Free Thread Drawing and Thread Painting Techniques, five quilt artists show you how to turn machine stitching into drawings with thread. Depending on the style and density of the stitching, thread sketching and thread painting can stand on its own or be combined with other techniques to give your quilt motifs dimension and life.
I'm an equal-opportunity fabric monger: I drool just as much over hand surface-designed fabrics. I gobble up every new technique and have even tried some fabric stamping, ice dyeing, resist dyeing, and fabric painting. I love it.
Last year when Pantone announced its Color of the Year—Tangerine Tango—I was a fan. I like cheerful, sunny colors, and this one hit the spot for me. I could see using it in different modes, from fabric to embroidery, to surface design techniques.
Usually when we hear the word shibori, we think of dyeing. Shibori dyeing come from the Japanese term for several methods of resist dyeing using binding or tying, stitching, folding, twisting, compressing it, or capping to create patterns.
Where I live in New England, it gets dark at about 4:30 p.m. in the depths of winter. So when Daylight Savings Time kicks in and the snow banks start to melt, I'm itching to get outside and do some fabric painting and dyeing.
I returned to New England from QuiltCon in Austin, Texas, this week, I
couldn't help but notice: it snowed again while I was gone. Yes, while I
was in the climate-controlled comfort of the exhibit halls surrounded
by colorful quilts--and quilters--Mother Nature had thrown another heavy
blanket of snow over my region.
In the April/May issue of Quilting Arts I have an interview with artist Kate Themel, and I'm so excited by her painterly machine quilting and our conversation, I decided to give you a sneak peek.
Here's a way to practice your free-motion stitching
skills and add a mixed-media element to your machine quilting. In honor
of Valentine's Day, it's heart art from our sister publication Cloth Paper Scissors, one of my favorite sources of fiber art inspiration.
I've found that setting aside 15-20 minutes a day of "play time" works for me. Whether it is spent hand quilting, making a patchwork quilt for a friend, or spreading paints or inks on fabric in my studio for some surface design fun—it doesn't matter to me as long as I am tapping into my creativity.
If you want to give your art quilts or fiber art a unique design, one of the easiest ways is with fabric painting and surface design techniques. And one of the simplest ways to apply fabric paints or inks in a unique way is with monoprinting.
Last week I shared a pillow project by Candy Glendening, noting how the simplicity of the design allowed her hand-dyed fabrics to take center stage. Today I thought give you some insight into Candy's fabric dyeing process.
I always smile when I see the Fiesta Ornaments that Judy Coates Perez makes by painting on fabric, quilting the painted motifs, and then stitching on a frame of embossed craft metal.

Welcome Fellow Trekkies! The GTD Get to Know You thread
View Single Post
May 19 2013, 10:22 PM
New Member my take on Startrek
Ok Just a bit of background on me IM 25 British.
First started watching star trek at age 6! What hooked me was seeing Generations at the cinema. First Start rek Series was TNG. Started watching it from mid series 4. It was Startrek that made be work to become a scientist (even if it was in biology
Of course by now I have watched every episode of EVERY series mostly 3 or 4 times over!
List of Favourite series has to be:
DS9: Hands down its my favourite. Its a case of you have a great utopian civilisation, now defend it. Its it sends the deepest message about star trek. Yes you can be a super advanced utopian but there will still be people out there that will threaten it. There are some things you cant control even with super advanced technology. It also says allot about starfleet. That they have got luckily. The whole reason that for 200 years there have had the luxury of focusing on exploration rather than military matters is pure blind luck. Though I think the from the wrath of Khan through to Undiscovered country it showed a more militarised starfleet prepared for war with klingons that was avoided by the fact there main source of resources blew up. But the since then starfleet got complacent. DS9 gave a good insight into everyday life in the federation rather than just life on a shiny new flagship.
TNG from series 5+ : These had some of the best episodes. I loved the exploration and really loved the in depth episodes that covered the Klingons and Romulans it was good seeing them and there culture expanded.
Enterprise 4 series: The 4th series was excellent I loved it and could equal the 5+ TNG episodes. If they had started with this level of quality it would never have been cancelled!
Voyager: It was good entertainment but was very meh...they missed so many opportunities with this series. For starters for a ship stranded 75,000 form a starfleet base it was too clean and sterile. And for a crew thrown together from highly trained starfleet personal and basically terrorists everyone got along too well. Voyager should have been given to Ronald D Moore. Still I think January was a good captain and loved the Doctor and his quest for sentience and Tuvok I liked seeing a proper full blooded Vulcan.
TOS: Ok its started startrek but its pretty dated and its hard taking it seriously when my mobile phone look more advanced. Still for a 60's program it did well with what it had.
Enterprise series 1-3: Ok series 1 was not too bad for a starting trek series, intact it was stronger than TNG and DS9 but series 2 was forgettable and series 3? was that even startrek? It seemed to be action for the sake of action! Hell even JJ Abraham had more reason for the action than Enterprise series 3. And all the time travel crap, just stop please! I want to watch space exploration! If I want time travel I will watch doctor WHO !
TNG Series 1 and 2: O my goodness I have never seen such cringe worth TV watching! The acting is atrocious! And the storylines rubbish or just badly implemented. I feel sorry for Will wheton, his character could have been interesting but the way they wrote him in made me want to punch him as bad as I want to punch Justin Beiber. But then most the characters where so badly written they were more like robots than humans, hell DATA was more human at times! And at times its crossed the line between Sci Fi and fantasy.
As For Films:
Wrath of Khan: What there not to like? Perfect films and love the atmosphere of that era.
Undiscovered Country: same as the above and a ZERO G firefight! And the battle at the end was awesome!
First Contact: Good solid film. The CGI seemed a little fake at times but it was a fast pace good film. They missed some good opportunities like its a shame Sisko was not in it. Would have been brilliant seeing the two captions, both dealing with there scars from the borg in different ways. You would have Picard crying and smashing his conference room up with sisko just going crazy and being right down there with the security teams bashing borg hand to hand......one can only dream though.....
Into Darkness: It was a fun alternate take on wrath of Khan and had a pretty good story line.
Search for spock: Was a fun adventure but did get a bit tedious at times.
Voyage home: Funny and a good watch but very Meh.
StarTrek X: Hmmm I don't think JJ Abraham's had to go down the alternate timeline route at least in such a dramatic way. And there are so many plot holes like why the hell did they give a cadet command of a starship? But hey it was fun.
Nemesis: Very Meh and a bit action heavy with thin plot line
Insurrection: same as Nemesis.
The motion Picture: Like watching paint dry..... I mean half of it was just watching them fly around the Enterprise in shuttle (did they have to prove it was no longer attached to visible strings ) and the rest was just watching flashing lights and music.... The story line was so simple it was non existent.
Startrek V: If The motion picture was like watching paint dry this was like pulling finger nails. Kirk verses God? Talk about a shattner ego trip.
And I will add I HATE holideck episodes! I hate them with a passion.

The researchers also discovered a provocative and somewhat unexpected finding that there were no net benefits associated with chronic caffeine administration.
"In addition to looking at caffeine withdrawal, this rigorous design also permitted comparison of chronic caffeine maintenance with chronic placebo maintenance, which provides unique information about the extent to which there are net beneficial effects of daily caffeine administration," said Stacey Sigmon, Ph.D., research associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont and first author on the study. "In contrast to what most of us coffee lovers would think, our study showed no difference between when the participant was maintained on chronic placebo and when the participant was stabilized on chronic caffeine administration. What this means is that consuming caffeine regularly does not appear to produce any net beneficial effects, based on the measures we examined."

Eastern Deanery Aids Relief Program (EDARP) is a faith based program under the Roman Catholic Church. Eastern Deanery AIDS Relief Program was founded in 1993 to respond to the numerous incidences of HIV infection which affected the communities living in the eastern side of the city of Nairobi. The number of HIV/AIDS related deaths at the time were numerous as many people were not aware of HIV and antiretroviral drugs were also not available. Father Edward Phillips M.M. who was a priest under Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers congregation and was working in Eastland's Nairobi with the Archdiocese of Nairobi during the time developed a HIV/AIDS intervention program to address this problem. During the inception of EDARP the program was funded by the Maryknoll Fathers & Brothers and Misereor, a German Roman Catholic development agency.
EDARP activities have since expanded to HIV/TB prevention, Counseling, Testing and Treatment services. All services offered in EDARP facilities are FREE. EDARP facilities are located within the following areas within Eastland's Nairobi;
Shauri Moyo, Eastleigh, Mathare, Huruma, Baba Dogo, Kariobangi, Dandora, Ruai, Njiru, Komarock, Soweto, Donholm, St. Veronica Eastleigh 1st Avenue and Dandora Phase 5.
To respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic by offering holistic care and prevention in a Christ like manner to people living in the Eastern side of Nairobi County without discrimination based on gender, race or creed. All services in EDARP are offered FREE of charge.
We endeavor to building a healthy nation free of HIV together with the community that we serve, whereby all persons whether HIV infected or not will live together and participate in their community without any form of stigma or condemnation.
TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB usually affects the lungs, known as pulmonary TB, but may affect almost any other part of the body, known as extra-pulmonary TB.
The most common symptom of Tb is a persistent, productive cough usually for more than 2 weeks. Other constitutional symptoms include persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, anorexia (loss of appetite) and fatigue.
Other respiratory symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest and back pain and haemoptysis. Symptoms of extrapulmonary TB are related to specific extrapulmonary sites such as lymph nodes, pleura, larynx, meninges, genito-urinary, intestinal tract, bone, spinal cord and skin.

|Scientific Conference
The incidence of new cases worldwide is falling too slowly at around 1 percent per year. Multidrug-resistant TB is on the increase, particularly in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia. Levels of case detection and successful treatment are far too low. Only 12 percent (30,000) of the estimated cases were notified in 2009 and less than 5 percent were properly treated. The Global Fund is the major donor for responses to multidrug-resistant TB. Programs it supports treated 14,000 cases in 2009, equivalent to nearly 60 percent of the 23,000 enrolled for treatment globally that year, and an additional 13,000 in 2010 – bringing the total treated with Global Fund support to 43,000 at December 2010.
The HIV epidemic has fueled the TB epidemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Too little is done to prevent TB among people living with HIV, who account for 13 percent of the new TB cases in 2009. Less than 1 percent of the estimated number of people living with HIV worldwide received isoniazid preventive therapy in 2009 and only 26 percent of TB patients knew their HIV status. Service coverage for TB/HIV co-infections remains very low. By December 2010 Global Fund-supported programs had provided a total of 2.4 million TB/HIV services.
* As of 2010, WHO has discontinued the 70 percent target for case detection since there is major uncertainty about its true value in most countries.

ATDC levels average 20-fold higher in cancerous cells
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Researchers from the
Expression of the gene, Ataxia Telangiectasia Group D Complementing gene, called ATDC, is on average 20 times higher in pancreatic cancer cells than in cells from a normal pancreas. What's more, the gene appears to make pancreatic cancer cells resistant to current therapies.
"One of the challenges in pancreatic cancer is that it is biologically aggressive and it does not respond well to chemotherapy or radiation. We found that ATDC not only causes the cancer cells to grow faster and be more aggressive, but it also makes the cancer cells particularly resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. By targeting this gene, we may be able to make cancer cells more sensitive to the therapies we already have in hand," says senior study author Diane Simeone, M.D., director of the Multidisciplinary Pancreatic Cancer Clinic at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Results of the study appear in the March issue of Cancer Cell.
The researchers injected into mice tumor cells expressing ATDC and compared that to a separate group of mice injected with tumor cells in which ATDC was suppressed. In the ATDC-expressing group, tumors grew in all the samples and were significantly larger and starting to metastasize, or spread. In the group in which ATDC was not expressed, only minimal signs of tumor growth were seen after 60 days.
"This particular gene promotes the biologic aggressiveness of the cancer," says Simeone, who is also Lazar J. Greenfield Professor of Surgery and Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the U-M Medical School.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Low-cost carrier Allegiant Air is temporarily suspending its passenger route from Hagerstown Regional Airport to Orlando as vacation season winds down.
The twice-weekly service will resume Oct. 31.
The Herald- Mail in Hagerstown reports (http://bit.ly/1pM9MCx ) that the seasonal shutdown is an annual occurrence with Allegiant. An airline spokesman says the hiatus is an important part of its low-fare model, ensuring that planes fly only when full of passengers.
Las Vegas-based Allegiant serves about 7 million passengers a year, with most routes connecting small airports to vacation destinations like Orlando and Las Vegas.

Berkeley -- Move over, Y chromosome it's time X got some attention.
In the first evolutionary study of the chromosome associated with being female, University of California, Berkeley, biologist Doris Bachtrog and her colleagues show that the history of the X chromosome is every bit as interesting as the much-studied, male-determining Y chromosome, and offers important clues to the origins and benefits of sexual reproduction.
"Contrary to the traditional view of being a passive player, the X chromosome has a very active role in the evolutionary process of sex chromosome differentiation," said Bachtrog, an assistant professor of integrative biology and a member of UC Berkeley's Center for Theoretical Evolutionary Genomics.
Bachtrog, UC Berkeley post-doctoral fellow Jeffrey D. Jensen and former UC San Diego post-doc Zhi Zhang, now at the University of Munich, detail their findings in this week's edition of the open-access journal PLoS Biology.
"In our manuscript, we demonstrate for the first time the flip side of the sex chromosome evolution puzzle: The X chromosome undergoes periods of intense adaptation in the evolutionary process of creating new sections of the genome that govern sexual differentiation in many species, including our own," she said.
Not all animals and plants employ genes to determine if an embryo becomes male or female. Many reptiles, for example, rely on environmental cues such as temperature to specify male or female.
But in life forms that do set aside a pair of chromosomes to specify sex from fruit flies to mammals and some plants the two X chromosomes inherited by females look nearly identical to the other non-sex chromosomes, so-called autosomes, Bachtrog said. The Y chromosome, however, which is inherited by males in concert with one X chromosome, is a withered version of the X, having lost many genes since it stopped recombining with the X chromosome.
In mammals,

Toyota 4Runner Trail is the real deal
Lots of people called this Toyota 4Runner Trail old-school, to which I replied thanks for the compliment. Before every re-bodied minivan and lifted wagon got the SUV label — a decade ago — it meant something built and useful like a truck.
The 4Runner is one of a handful of midsize truck-style utilities left. If you plan on using your vehicle as a utility rather than people mover, like towing regularly or going off the highway where low-range gearing is needed, the Trail will get the job done. The SR5 version is just as useful on road and 80-90 percent off, the all-wheel drive Limited more for people who want a Lexus GX460 but can't afford it.
Styling can only be called blunt, with grille bars that might have come off a semi or one-ton pickup and a square shape drawn by function rather than French curve or wind tunnel. Maximum cargo space and loading versatility, and the ability to thread through narrow confines, comes from a square shape — witness any truck or cargo van — yet it doesn't feel any noisier here than a crossover on the same tires.
Trail will carry 47 cubic feet of cargo with five seats up and 90 behind the front seats; the back seats lift/fold to create a short cargo "wall" behind the front so your load doesn't spear your chair in a hard stop. An optional sliding cargo deck will hold more than 440 pounds, the SR5 and Limited offer hey all tow 5,000 pounds (to the industry-set standard that only Toyota follows right now) without any required packages or options. The only minor flaw in the Trail utility argument is payload capacity is less than the SR5 or Limited models.
We had no problem carting around a quartet of six-plus footers with an occasional fifth. It's a small climb for the vertically challenged but you're rewarded with quite a good view and shaded driving position. Despite the height and retentive seat, it was easy to hop in and out all day long, front seat or back.
Controls, gauge markings and handles are all big as the outside bits and quite functional. The Entune infotainment system did as desired with the usual entry-while-moving restrictions and thoughtful touches include switches at each individual interior light, great for bug control camping. Stowage for smaller things is good too, though none of it is dust-proof.
A 4-liter V-6 engine delivers 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, all peaking at more than 4,000 rpm, yet reserves are such it motors almost everywhere at a sedate 1,700 to 2,000 rpm. Combined with a five-speed automatic it brings respectable performance in lever operated low-range or high, and you're going to get high teens for mileage (range is acceptable with the 23-gallon tank). More gears would help economy a bit, but no fault is found in this engine/transmission marriage and manual gear selection is simple.
Trail's electronic controls will let it climb or descend byways in low-range at variable speeds with automatic throttle and brake — all you have to do it steer — and multiple levels of traction assists include a locking rear differential. You'd need the wrong tires and more rain than we get to get it stuck.
Optional KDSS antiroll bars are about 50 percent thicker than standard parts, limiting body roll on the road but allowing better suspension articulation and a softer ride, well worth the premium regardless of where you drive. It makes this 5,000-pound box on all-purpose tires more agile than you expect, steering is quick to respond, big tire sidewalls give a comfortable highway ride and it can handle anything remotely akin to a "road." The brakes proved up to any hot descent thrown at them, though the pedal feel is a bit squishy and touchy for my liking.
If the Trail isn't quite enough, Toyota will offer a TRD Pro version of the Trail shortly. Powertrain and tire size are unchanged but it gets cosmetic changes and a remote-reservoir Bilstein/Eibach suspension overhaul for a mild lift and more travel and compliance, making it suitable for higher-speed desert travel giving up nothing on street ride quality or low-speed trail work. In-your-face appearance in white, black or a metallic inferno orange.
Where once were many, only the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Nissan Xterra and leftover Toyota FJ Cruisers join the 4Runner as genuine truck-style midsize SUVs. Great if you need capability; get a Toyota Highlander or Toyota Venza if you don't.

Virginia Beach, Va (PRWEB) March 20, 2013
A study recently released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reveals that more than five years after facelift surgery, three-fourths of patients still look younger than they did before surgery.
"This report substantiates what I've observed for years-that the aesthetic benefits of facelifts are enjoyed by patients for a very long time," notes Dawn Cover, president of Nouvelle Inc., a company that specializes in surgical dressings to help maximize and speed healing of facelifts among other cosmetic procedures.
Nouvelle has recently re-designed its face wrap to help expedite healing following ear surgery (otoplasty), facelift (rhytidectomy), chinlift, necklift, and submental liposuction.
"We carefully scrutinized every stitch, and every possible way the adjustable chin band supports the jaw/chin region," said Cover. "Our aim is to minimize any discomfort during post-surgical healing and protect sensitive facial skin."
*Exceptional support and unsurpassed comfort.
*Soft, durable band supporting the jaw/chin region and extending to the top of the head with conveniently positioned Velcro closures.
*Unisex design
*Made in the USA
*Latex and formaldehyde free
*Four-way stretch and memory
*Soft, silky texture ensures comfort next to delicate skin

This is best nail polish remover, it does a good job of removing any color nail polish quickly and cleanly. It moisturizes the skin around the nails.
Great product with great price. I was pleasantly surprised how fast this remover worked, is faster then any other that I have try..
It requires several coats and it is tricky to get it on without the streaking, took a little practice. Didn't last though. After only two days big BIG pieces started chipping off. Now I'm finding the bad part about putting all those coats on to make it not look streaky is it's really difficult to get it off. It chips off but is difficult to get all of it off even with using acetone polish remover and soaking which then makes the nail dry out! So now I have little pieces that will not come off on just about every toe! Chipping after just two days along with this much trouble getting it off makes it not worth the $9 purchase price!!
Smells and acts like super glue. Dreadful to apply. Streaky and extremely hard to remove. Threw it away after two uses.

Norwegian Jewel Cruise Review by Lucyw: Was Just OK
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Norwegian Jewel Western Caribbean Cruises
Was Just OK
We took the Jewel to Cozumel, Belize, and Costa Maya, mainly as I wanted to snorkel in Belize.
I was disapointed as I was told they had cream rinse in the cabins, NOT!! So I finally found some onshore in Belize (I need it for my hair).
We were disappointed with the cabin stewart, it took 2 days to get a Sierra Mist replaced in our refrigerator.
When we called Room Service it took 3 tries to get thru and finally the cabin stewart that showed up, never returned with the pop.
I do like that they have a tiny refrig as we were able to get our bottled water cold for the next day.
We enjoyed the talent shows. The casino was way too smokey! hard to breath!
The service desk was just OK, some didn't give us adequate answers to our questions, others were helpful.
We do not like the automatic gratuitee as seems you do not get that great service as before and this is our 8th cruise.
desserts had no flavor!
Embakation More was terrible, long lines, Embarkation was even worse!
I will go back to RCL and try the Princess line. Less

Eddie Choi | December 7, 2010 | Comments |
Measuring your social media campaign is critical. Here is one approach how to be more accountable.
In China today, social media has become the main ingredient of an advertising plan. However, the buzz generated in social media is rarely authentic and an astonishing few advertisers could justify the key performance indicators (KPIs), making us love and hate social marketing at the same time.
Have you ever seen a social media plan in China? Well, it quantifies buzz like an advertising inventory and prices a fan at per-unit cost. The practice of so-called E-PR in China has derailed the value of going social. But most importantly, you hardly see an analytics solution for a social media plan. Everything is made for the sake of feeling good. Sad but true.
Social marketing campaign is very difficult to measure in China because most social media platforms are closed system. Third-party tools cannot do tracking properly. Most content on the social networking sites are not feed-enabled, so it's impossible to aggregate content for analytics. Although you might be able to get a tool that helps you crawl the data from some of the BBS (bulletin board systems), certainly not all of them, there is no solution to automate the measurement for sentiment.
In this column, I want to share one of my approaches for doing social marketing in China and the steps to scientifically measure it. We can do it without using tools and automation.
First of all, social media is a broad term. It covers a social networking site, blog, micro-blog, BBS, forum, community, and more. So before we start planning or figuring out how to measure the plan, we must understand the nature of each social media platform. Some social media are designed to recruit advocates and retain fans, some for amplifying the message, and others for inducing the conversations.
There is no single metric for social marketing. Conventional click stream metrics won't apply to a social marketing strategy because a typical social advertising plan could include a mini-site for user engagement, a community to recruit and convert advocates, and a micro-blog to amplify the message. For measuring performance, we need combined metrics.

Developing a combined metrics methodology when planning a social media campaign is very important. It is nice to have tools and automation to facilitate the analytics, but even manual calculations like the one, above, will help measure the campaign in a very scientific way.
Media cost in China is expensive; you definitely wouldn't want to make your marketing investment without measurement. So, don't let yourself just feel good - but also accomplished about your next social marketing campaign by planning it and measuring it better.

Well thought out highlighting Mississippi stars. The over all theme is about the contributions made by theses homespun persons. The subject matter is well represented for all sports with exciting updates I would like to see more local persons who contributed much more to their individual communities. (big fish in small ponds) They are the ones who will keep the excitement in the communities and the dollars. Most pro athelets leave these small ponds an forget about the people that made them. This is reason for my request to focus on this matter. Over all good little museum experience for us we were in Jackson visiting family and had a couple of hours before a fight home and it was down the street from the airport.

Bear Creek Greenway Bike Trail
Between Ashland and Medford is graded and paved bike trail that meanders along Bear Creek and well away from automobile traffic. I rode the section from Phoenix to Ashland in both directions. Phoenix, the more or less flat path has excellent grading and asphalt pavement, while access to the creek is somewhat limited and the trail exposed. Midway, I found some problems of tree roots making the pavement bumpy and rough, but roots were at least marked by spray paint so as not to surprise the rider with jolt. In the midway area, Bear Creek opens into a lagoon wetland area, and there's a section of recreational park. Near Ashland, the trail pavement improves a lot but climbs a hill past the city water treatment plant. Any type of bicycle will perform OK, but road racers will have the edge along this trail. There are a number of bridges all along the way, and just before town, there's a llama ranch.
- Cycling
Cycling is Big Here
Displacing club tennis and golf, cycling is the nouveau riche and nowhere else is it more apparent than in Ashland. Mountain bikes, road bikes, trailers, trikes, recliners--they are all her. The city has very strict enforcement of pedestrian and bicycle lane right of ways, so automobile and RV drivers beware. In addition to the Bear Creek bike path between Ashland and Medford, there's also good bike lane access to Jacksonville and elsewhere within the Rogue River Valley area. These between-town and in-valley routes are generally flat or low slope, so one doesn't need to be a mountain climber, but then there are also some good hill climbs in the area. Summer days can be quite warm, but rarely beyond what a cyclist can bear. There are three well stocked bicycle shops in Ashland that can provide more information and service. I received service to replace a tire at one of them, and found service excellent. Also, there are a number of clubs with websites, such as the one below.

I'm about 400 years too old to be Radio 1's intended demographic so his presence on the breakfast show is neither here nor there for me. He does strike me as a twunt though and his polka dot suit with stripy t-shirt screams 'desperate try hard'.
Still, that all looks like a nice cavalcade of people who need a big slap - Alexa Chung, Miquita Oliver and Grimshaw himself being at the top of the list....

I was out for my first trail ride with the used 5 Spot I bought during the off season. It has Push rockers and I had the RP3 low volume shock Pushed ( 175 lb rider weight and plush). I had 175 psi in the shock and had what I thought was the correct sag (15mm maybe 16mm showing on the o-ring).
While riding on the lowest (open) setting on the RP3 I thought it could be or should be plusher. In setting 2, I could really feel the pro-pedal and setting 3 was even a firmer pedal platform.
I trust what Push did was the correct for me, because I was pretty thorough with my decription of what I wanted. What I'm wondering is if I need to lighten up the pressure and increase my sag a bit.
I read on the Turner site in the 5 1/2 Spot FAQ, that there should be 17mm of sag. I'm not sure if that is what I should use for my current set up? To get 17mm of sag with my current set up I had 165 psi and that was down 10 psi from what I believe I had in there to start. I believe that's a substantial drop with a low volume sleeve, but I have had a chance to get it out to ride yet.
Any thoughts or suggestion would be helpful. Thanks
