Student debt: a bursting bubble or overstated fears?
The average monthly loan payment, Chingos said, has remained 4 percent of the borrowers monthly income for the past 20 years. There are also fewer people paying a high ratio of their income to student loans today than in the 1990s.
"It doesn't mean there aren't any problems," Chingos said, "but it should cause us to rethink our mass hysteria."
Grad school blues
A huge part of the problem, said Jason Delisle of the New America Foundation, a Washington, D.C., based think tank, centers on graduate school, not undergraduate loans. Nearly all of the student debt horror stories of $100,000 loan tallies, he argues, are acquired in graduate school, often in the pursuit of master's degrees of dubious value.
"Graduate school debt is usually overlooked or lumped together, as if graduate school is part of the college access story," Delisle said.
He cites Nicole Preucil, profiled in the Wall Street Journal last fall, a 23-year-old with $60,000 in student debt. But it turns out that just $10,000 of her debt came from an undergraduate degree. The remaining $50,000 came from her master's in social work.
Delisle calls these "boutique master's degrees," and says that the subway walls in New York City are thick with advertisements, often offering worthless master's degrees that seem aimed at bored commuters looking to escape the grind. There are far too many of these graduate programs, he says, accepting too many students and offering too little in the way of outcomes.
Federal loan policies that allow unlimited loans for graduate education up to the cost of tuition and living, Delisle argued, are a huge problem. This allows schools to raise tuition as long as students sign on for the debt. If grad school loans were capped, he argued, students would have to seriously consider tuition costs, and we would see less debt burden for sketchy degrees.
"It's as if there were open enrollment graduate school," Delisle said. "And the government lets students go with no questions asked."
The kicker, Delisle adds, is that Nicole will probably be paying back just a fraction of that $60,000. Because she is in a public service field with low salary levels, she will be offered very generous monthly plans tied to her income and her loan will be forgiven after 10 years, a perk allowed for public service workers. Private sector employees who qualify can write off their debt in 20 years by paying back a fixed percentage of their income.
"Can you imagine if you were to buy a house, and then pay it back based on your income and have it forgiven after 20 years, how much house would you buy?" Delisle asked.
The real victims
While Delisle focuses on excess grad school debt, Andrew Kelly's concerns lie on the other end of the spectrum — those who take on college debt but never earn even one degree.
Kelly, like Pollack a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says that the discussions of college debt too often compare college graduates to high school grads. Too little attention, he argues, is offered to those who acquire debt going to college but don't graduate.
Kelly cited a recent study by Beth Akers of the Brookings Institution, which shows that those with some college/no degree disproportionally struggle to pay their student loan bills on time. The average default on student loans actually comes from small debt levels. Many of these, Kelly said, never graduated at all.
Those with no college degree have about the same income whether they have some college with debt or simply went straight to the workforce, Kelly said, citing data collected by researchers at the Pew Charitable Trust, but those without college who carried debt had much, much lower net worth.
Kelly thinks one reason may be that students who don't graduate take time off for their studies, losing wages while building debt. The two combined drag down their net worth even as their incomes stagnate.
If going to college and acquiring debt but not graduating lowers your net worth, compared to those who don't go to college at all, then the graduation rates of colleges that push debt are an urgent public policy matter, Kelly said.
"The major design flaw in federal financial aid," Kelly argued, "is that it subsidizes any program at any institution at any price."
Around 37 percent of loans given to undergraduate students, Kelly said, flow to schools with graduation rates of less than 40 percent. For-profit schools are a big part of the problem, Kelly said, but a large chunk of these problem schools are actually public nonprofit colleges.
Bailing out borrowers after the fact is not really an answer, Kelly argues. It may even make things worse.
Instead, Kelly would like to see more consumer information. For example, parents and students should know the graduation rates of schools before they apply, and disclosure of those rates should be part of the application process.
He would also like to see colleges assume some "skin in the game," making them share the risk for students who fail to finish or get jobs after graduation, though he recognizes that colleges may then get more selective, making access more difficult for high-risk students.

What companies own their own banks?
Other than those primarily involved in the banking business?
I know Target has their own bank, I know H&R Block does too. Discover and AMEX do of course but that's kind of their primary business moreso than the processing business so not sure if I'd count that.
Others in non-banking industry that own banks?

FCM Teams is part of Faith Cycle Ministries. We believe that in order to help Christians with their next step in faith, we need to supply the missionaries on the front line with the necessary tools to do their job. We do this by providing them with websites, email addresses, evangelical and training material.
We also noticed that some missionaries, depending procerin on where they are serving, may be the only people in that area with an education and exposure to outside influences.
Because of this the villagers and locals come to depend on the missionaries for more than just salvation and in some cases wont listen to the Gospel that is being preached until the missionary can prove their worth to the local community. This is why we created FCM Teams so we can provide the necessary training and resources to become a better missionary
There are hundreds of missions groups out there and they are designed to help you bandar bola get support and provide you with a mission/vision. What we offer are two things:
1) Follow up support - Depending on where you are serving, you may be going from town to town preaching, singing, playing or doing what ever talent God gave you. As you go from town to town who is doing your follow up? Team up with us and we will offer you follow up support. Besides having access to thousands of pages of material within our web site we will also provide you with your own FCM Teams website and a FCM Teams email address.
2) On or Offline Resources - We are creating a large collection of resources and teaming up with other large ministries to provide you with material that can be used all over the world in many different languages. If you are serving in a remote part of the world that does not have internet connection and you have a laptop or computer we will provide you with a very large hard drive(*) that will provide you with training material, evangelism tools, Bible studies, audio, video and a lot more. You can even set it up to network with several computers.

Hi Everyone,
I've done several searches on this and haven't been able to find much besides several previously unanswered posts. I'm hoping I just missed something and someone can help me out.
Here's my situation:
Within single.php for the theme I'm working on:
I'm trying to use the next_post_link tag to pull up the link to the next post in a category. Everything works fine UNTIL I set the third parameter to TRUE (or anything at all) at which point the function fails to output anything at all - no error message, no nothing.
For instance:
<?php next_post_link('%link','%title'); ?>
outputs as expected:
this is post 11
All variations on that theme seem to work - BUT - as soon as I add TRUE as the third parameter to set the function to display the next post within the same category, the whole thing dies, and outputs absolutely NOTHING at all, so:
<?php next_post_link('%link','%title', TRUE); ?>
outputs NOTHING at all.
I've tried a dozen variations - inside and outside the loop, capitalization changes, putting "TRUE" in different kinds of quotes, and even using "1" instead of TRUE - but none of them work.
I even tried copying and pasting the code directly from the codex and it does the same EXACT thing - it's making me CRAZY, and deadline is coming up - can anyone please help me?
Thanks so much.

The other night, when Tim and I ate this salad, we'd just come back from a few hours of driving through neighborhoods. Tim and I do a lot of driving through neighborhoods. You could say driving through neighborhoods is our thing. I guess that's good---that there's a thing we have, you know, together. When my friend Julie got married in 2006, I remember the pastor saying something in his homily about how every couple ought to share a hobby of some kind. "Tennis or cooking or sports," he'd suggested, right there at the front of the church filled with people and flowers and music. I hadn't yet met Tim that day, standing up there with three other girls in blue dresses with cap sleeves, but I still like to think about the hobbies we were already sharing, even so. In 2006, for example, I was baking batch after batch of biscotti for favors at that friend's sit-down wedding reception. Meanwhile, the Ohio man I would someday marry was rolling out and topping homemade pizza crusts to keep in … [Read more...]
Einkorn Berries: Einkorn Breakfast Porridge + Einkorn Salad with Radicchio and Walnuts
Here we are, gang, a new week, another early Tuesday morning, and I'm still talking about einkorn. I know. But I figure, when I brought you Friday's post, less a story and more a list of FAQs, you all were such champs, and I mean you all, every last one of you, looking a new ingredient in the face boldly and bravely, ready to give it a shot, that maybe you wouldn't mind just one more einkorn post to follow it? The thing is, while we've already told you einkorn flour is great for pizza, pancakes, cookies (einkorn in these!), tartlets and pitas, and while you know you can create your own einkorn flour by buying the berries and grinding them at home, there's something else that needs to be said, because there's more to einkorn berries than flour: einkorn berries can hold their own. The truth is, that tiny mention in Friday's post about the berries, about using them in porridges or salads---it was a little lackluster, to say the least. It was not the kind of thing to get the message … [Read more...]
Tennessee Apple Picking + Rustic Apple Tartlets (+ Einkorn Flour!)
It's Saturday. I'm awake too early, still in bed but eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, too excited to go back to sleep. Today we're going apple-picking, which, for the joy it gives me, may as well be cookie-eating or treasure-finding, and right now, the sound of Tim's breathing next to me, all I can think about are the bright blue skies, warm golden sunshine and endless apples that await us when we do. What can I say about apple-picking that hasn't already been said? That there's something wonderful about standing amongst rows of trees, many of them heavy with fruit, the yeasty smell of fallen, fermenting apples in the air? That trekking out with your friends or family to an orchard, a basket slung over your arm, feels like a celebration, just like carving a turkey or chopping down a Christmas tree? Or maybe that picking apples, to me, is one of those activities that's so quintessentially autumn, so like pumpkin carving or sipping cider, that when you go out and do it, … [Read more...]
Homemade Mayonnaise and Garlic Aioli
"Mayonnaise is a food best made at home and almost never made at home. This has robbed us of something that is both healthy and an absolute joy to eat with gusto." Tamar Adler My favorite chapter in Tamar Adler's "An Everlasting Meal," was, hands down, "How to Teach an Egg to Fly," and before you click away because, this girl! she's always talking about Tamar Adler!, please bear with me because, I promise, I'm going somewhere good. So this chapter two of Tamar's book, the egg chapter, is 15 pages long and divided into six parts, each one dealing with a specific method in which to use an egg. She talks about boiled eggs, poached eggs, fried or scrambled, omelets, frittatas and, just when your mind is appropriately reeling, thinking of all the different things eggs can do, mayonnaise. Here is the part that hooked me: I keep my mayonnaise and aioli for two or three days in the refrigerator even though they contain raw eggs. I trust the freshness of my eggs, and the … [Read more...]

This was my second DWI in 6 monthes. My vehicle was taken and I payed my lawyer $3500.00. I had the worse judge in New Hanover County. I want my case taken before a jury because I believe the officer had no probable cause to pull me over. How do I appeal and what are my chances of winning the case with a court appointed attorney?
Criminal Defense Attorney
Winning or losing a case depends more on the facts of each individual case rather than whether the attorney is appointed or retained. Though you do not mention it I assume that you pled guilty to this offense, and now wish to have a jury trial. The difficulty with the appeal process is that an appeal is not, and cannot be based on whether you think you were innocent, or that the officer lacked probable cause. These types of issues must have been brought up and addressed by the trial court, (the lower court), before you are eligible to raise them on appeal. In short, if you pled to this the only issues you can raise on appeal are issues involving the plea-taking process, (things like whether you were properly advised of your rights or not), and/or the sentencing process. What you are actually talking about pursuing is a motion to withdraw your plea, (assuming one entered), and proceeding to jury trial on the case. Then you would have the opportunity to conduct evidentiary hearings on whether or not the officer had probable cause, etc. You will certainly need to discuss the possibilities of successfully doing this with a retained attorney. Further, there are usually time limits as to how much time can have elapsed before you are no longer able to pursue this. So time is of the essence.

Anne-Marie Wilcock, SHEFFIELD
We booked 2 separate nights. A Sunday night Wellness Break and Monday night Reviver Break. From the moment we arrived we got the undivided attention of all staff. Our room wasn't quite ready so we were given vouchers for drinks in the bar and our luggage was safely stored in reception. The bar man apologised for the delay in bringing our coffees over, it was only a matter of minutes. We were soon told that our room was ready. The room was spacious and beautifully furnished although the bathroom was a bit tired in places. Food served at dinner and breakfast was really delicious. The pool and thermal suite are ready for some refurbishment. We last visited 5 years ago and nothing seems to have changed since then.The spa treatments were great and I felt really relaxed while having them and afterwards. We would really recommend this place and I plan to return with my teenage daughters in the future. SpaSeekers prices are fantastic and an extra discount code makes them even cheaper!

"Happy birthday, _____!" Your friends cheered as you flipped on the lights. You jump a little, startled by the surprise. You smile as everyone scramble out of their hiding spots to greet you. You were known for being a very shy person but thanks to your friends, you've been starting to grow out of your shell.
One of your friends came out of the kitchen with a decent sized cake, candles decorating the top. They were followed by a Japan Hetaloid wearing an apron, which made you a little jealous. Many of your friends had Hetaloids but you never had time for one, though to be honest you could never decide on who you would buy. Japan Hetaloids seemed very nice but keeping them entertained would be difficult since the only manga and anime you've read were from friends, you were afraid of losing a Canada Hetaloid even though you two would be alike, the England Hetaloid seemed too troublesome, and the America... The personality is way too much for you.
"Make a wish so we can give you presents!" One of your friends said excitedly.
"O-ok." You laughed as you closed your eyes. 'I wish I would never be lonely again and that all my friends will stay by me.' You opened your eyes and bashfully blew out the candles, causing cheers from your friends.
Everyone got a slice of cake and were happily eating it. You smiled as everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves. It made you really happy that this many people came for your birthday.
"Presents!" Someone called out and like a flood, everyone grabbed their presents and placed them in front of you. You sat there, wide eyed, as you stare at the mountain of presents in front of you. Your friends laugh/giggle at your reaction and waited patiently as you began to open them, blushing from the pairs of eyes watching you.
After a bit you finally finished opening your presents, thanking everyone for their gifts.
"Wait!" One of your friends said, rushing out the door. "My dad finally brought your present, ____!"
Everyone rushed to your window, including you, and watched as your friend ran up to a truck. There was a large box in the back. Their dad came out along with their, presumably, uncle and went to the back. They both lifted the box out of the back and were carrying it up the driveway.
Everyone rushed out of the house as they placed it in the yard. They seemed a little out of breath but your friend was grinning at it before at you as you stepped out onto the porch, curious at what your present was. It was huge.
"____, may I present to you, your new Hetaloid!" Your friend cheered as her dad and uncle opened the front of the box. Your friends were talking excitedly but you stood there, shocked. A Hetaloid?! They got you a Hetaloid?! Oh gosh, which one is it? Germany? Japan? Italy? Please no Prussia.
You held your breath as the front of the box fell onto the ground, revealing your new Hetaloid. There were "ooh"s and "wow"s from your group of friends.
You looked at him up and down, blushing. His tan military uniform, bomber jacket, blonde with an adorable cowlick. It was an America Hetaloid. You felt like screaming inside. There was no way you can get along with him. And how were you going to feed him? You heard he ate a bazillion hamburgers a day!
But you still couldn't help feel happy that your friend had gotten you this gift. You shyly smile at your friend and her dad and uncle. "Thank you so much." You said, blushing.
"Let's turn him on!" One of your friends suggested but that made everyone else burst out laughing, much to your friend's embarrassment. You on the other hand was about to agree with them but was now confused why everyone was laughing.
"What's so funny?" You asked them. They looked at you and continued to laugh.
"N-nothing! Let's go 'Turn him on'!" They howled, walking over to America. You followed them, still confused.
You were now standing right in front of him, looking up. You were intimidated by how tall he was. You weren't that short but he seemed to loom over you. You felt your chest tighten in fear as you stared up at him. What if I make him unhappy? What if he hates me?
"Here's the directions... Let's see..." One of your friends looks at a booklet. "'To activate your America Hetaloid, place a bag filled with McDonald's Hamburgers in front of a working fan.' which we don't have. 'The aroma from the food will activate your America Hetaloid, making it's Happiness Meter filled to the top. Another way to wake up your America Hetaloid is to ask him this; "America, would you like to play a mind numbing video game?" Your America Hetaloid will wake up, and respond with a really hyperactive yes. this will cause his Happiness Meter to Sky Rocket.' Cool" They read out loud, whispering the vocal activation sentence.
"Hey! You can pair America with Japan!" One of your friends exclaimed, reading over the other's shoulder. Your friend that owned the Japan Hetaloid instantly hugged her Hetaloid defensively.
"No way! Keep that glutton away from my Japan!" She stuck her tongue out at them as her Hetaloid blushes a bright red, muttering which sounded like Japanese.
"Well, _____, go ahead! He's all yours!" One of your friends say, grinning from ear to ear.
You gulped and looked back up at him. He was very handsome in person, the pictures didn't give him enough justice. You felt your cheeks heat up as you whisper to him, "A-America, would you like to play a mind numbing video game?"
There was a brief pause before the Hetaloid began to stir, slowly opening his beautiful azure eyes. He quickly looks down at you. He had a very calm look, seeming to examine you before he grinned wide.
"Dude! YES!" He cheered, pumping his fist in the air, punching through the top of the box. "Who put that there?" He happily laughed, looking up at his hand.
"They should have warned us of fist pumping." One of your friends giggled.

I like the Add-to-any button. However, I don't like the "Send from Any Email" button that takes the user to Addtoany.com email form. I generally don't like these forms where the to and from address can be type in with any arbitrary value (even thou you have a captcha).
Is there a way for me to remove that button or remove the "email tab"? Would be a nice feature to add -- just a checkbox in the wordpress admin settings would do fine.

If you'd been a fly on our kitchen walls this past week, you would have seen a lot of easy weeknight dinners going on. After we followed Tamar Adler's advice and, in one big batch of cooking, filled our fridge with jars and Pyrex packed with roasted eggplant, boiled potatoes, roasted yellow squash and so on, we then began the daily task of putting her strategy to the test. There were vegetables tossed with quinoa, vegetables inside morning omelettes, leftover vegetable hash pureed with milk and water until it became a hot and creamy bisque so comforting, I almost cried. Roasted eggplant became baba ganoush. Boiled potatoes turned into mashed, soft and creamy and studded with garlic. Preroasting all your produce is not for everyone (and not for every week), but this last week, as we've tried it, Tim and I have seen firsthand how simplifying the strategy can be in helping to make dinner every night. There are other things you'd see from your kitchen perch, too, though, like the failed … [Read more...]

Public and private sector employment - When the Chancellor unveiled his
plans in June 2010, much was made of the potential to "crowd in"
private sector jobs by paring back pubilc sector workers. The example of the
1990s was used, when public sector cuts were accompanied by big increases in
private sector employment. The figures suggest that the policy has surpassed
expectations. In 2010, the Government expected just 400,000 private sector
jobs to be created in the above period and just 89,000 public sector job
losses. The cuts have been harsher, but the gains have more than

Saline Implants and Breast Biopsy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have had silicone implants for 33 years. I was told that there is a lump that will have to be removed. Are there risks of my implants being punctured during this procedure?
Don LaRossa, MD, Professor of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, responds:
These are very old implants, and you might consider checking the integrity of the implants with ultrasound and MRI scanning. Unfortunately, neither imaging technique is 100% accurate, but they can be helpful studies, particularly if you is going to undergo a procedure. You should discuss this with the surgeon doing the biopsy. He/she can explain his/her level of concern about the timing, the need for general vs local anesthesia, and whether implants or coordination with a plastic surgeon is needed at this juncture. The answers can vary depending on the location and size of the lump. Hope this is helpful.

A white paper released Tuesday by marketing communications firm Vertis Communications, entitled "power2thewomen2.0: the Shopping Trend Revolution Continues," revealed that women wield formidable purchasing power, controlling approximately $5 trillion in spending annually, but that how they interact with retailers and marketers differs greatly.
DJM Realty, a Gordon Brothers Group company, said Monday it has been retained to exclusively manage the disposition of all remaining Borders Group and Waldenbooks real estate in the United States.
A Tuesday report by Bloomberg said that South Africa's parliament will let anti-trust regulators decide what conditions to impose on Wal-Mart Stores in its acquisition of Massmart Holdings Ltd.
Big Lots announced Tuesday that it has completed its acquisition of Brantford, Ontario-based Liquidation World, representing Big Lots' first foothold outside of the United States.
Borders Group, which had been holding out hope that a buyer would come forward to save the company, said late Monday it will seek court approval Thursday for a liquidation led by Hilco Merchant Resources and Gordon Brothers Group.
Borders Group inched closer to liquidation after a 5 p.m. Sunday deadline passed and no bidders emerged to keep the bankrupt chain in business.
A report released Thursday by the National Retail Federation, which expanded on earlier news by the U.S. Commerce Department, showed that warm weather, reduced gas prices and strong Father's Day promotions helped power retail sales for the 12th consecutive month and past Wall Street expectations.
Borders Group moved closer to liquidation after a judge on Thursday approved its motion to auction itself off with an offer from liquidators as its opening bid.
Jones Lang LaSalle announced Wednesday that The Kroger Co. is undertaking an initiative with JLL to conduct a strategic review of a group of its retail assets, in tandem with Kroger's divisional real estate teams, to explore optimization strategies for a select portfolio of operating stores.
Tuesday Morning Corp. reported Wednesday that revenue for the quarter ended June 30 declined 3% to $194.8 million, compared with $200.8 million in the year-ago period.

The most visited Norwegian museums are those displaying art and artefacts unique to Norway's traditions and culture, from vikings to Edvard Munch. Here are a few of the most important ones.
Oslo is rapidly growing into an exciting, international metropolis, while in the countryside, prestigious projects seem to grow out of nature itself. There has never been a more exciting time for Norwegian architecture.
The Vikings have earned their place in history as a seafaring warrior culture with a fine eye for design and a good ear for storytelling.

The 2013 Pac-12 Football Helmet Schedule is now available. The schedule, which is in PDF format, features the team helmets, date, and opponent for each Pac-12 team.
All 12 Pac-12 football schedules were officially released today. The season begins on Thursday, Aug. 29 when USC travels to Hawaii and Utah hosts Utah State. Conference play begins on Saturday, Sept. 7 with USC hosting Washington State.
If you have an iPhone or an iPad, you can save the schedule to your device by using the iBooks application. Simply open the PDF schedule and then press the button that says "Open in iBooks." The app will automatically save the document to your PDF library.
Download the 2013 Pac-12 Football Helmet Schedule now! Other helmet schedules for the 2013 season are available to download on our Helmet Schedules page.
It's sad to see so many quality athletes, retract their commitments now and go elsewhere, sentencing USC football to another season of disappointing losses. Lane Kifin has always been a loser and in 2013 nothing will change, so why is Haden keeping him? I have never wanted so badly to be wrong. But, the glory days at USC are over.
Quit your crying year in and out SC recruits more 5 star athletes than anyone in the conference. You guys usually have another team on the bench that could start for any team in the nation. Get real dude you've been spoiled. Actually Alabama is a good comparison to USC recruiting. A so-so year recruiting there is like a good year everywhere else. UA wildcat

After MC Escher by KrystinaLeighWatch
©2012-2016 KrystinaLeigh
This is done in graphite and ink. It is a rendering of MC Escher's original 1935 piece "Hand Holding Reflective Sphere". I did this in my art class as an assignment.
The original was a linoleum print. He was an absolute genius!!
The original was a linoleum print. He was an absolute genius!!
I love this This is so well drawn as well, great work
yeah he was a a genisis that combined Mathimantics and art into a perfect hybrid.
I absolutely loved his work. When my art class gave us the opportunity to draw something that was originally created by a 'Master', I couldn't pass up on the chance of doing a piece by M.C. Escher.
i agree with you, Esher is a one of a kind artist, and has influnce generations of wonderful geneisis liek yourself.

A New York jury on Friday awarded $12 million in damages to a US billionaire, who said he had been defrauded when he paid thousands of dollars for supposedly vintage wine that turned out to be fake.
John Hueston, a lawyer for Florida energy executive Bill Koch, confirmed the award to AFP, saying his client was very pleased with the outcome.
The decision became the culmination of a high-stakes trial, during which Koch, brother to the politically connected siblings who help fund the US conservative Tea Party movement, accused California Internet entrepreneur Eric Greenberg of fraud, saying he had been sold fake vintage wine in a $3.5 million purchase he made at auction.
The plaintiff, who has never denied he was on a crusade to clean up the wine trading business, was ecstatic about the outcome.
"There was a code of silence in this bloody wine business, and now it's been broken," he was quoted by media reports as saying.
The legal battle started in 2007 following an auction, in which Greenberg consigned part of his 70,000-bottle-strong cellar for sale. Koch bought 2,669 of the bottles.
Koch testified he had been looking for "the best of the best," and thought he was getting it.
But 24 bottles bought for $355,000 turned out to be fake, said Koch.

I seriously regret not picking up a Stifee XC while I lived just across the border, this will be rectified!
Got a chance to buy an '03 G-Spot. Has Sram x-9 rear and x-7 front, Race Face cranks, Fox RL rear shock and a Manitou Sherman front. Bike looks and seems to be in excellent shape, and has been recently fully overhauled and tuned.
I realize this bike is 10 yrs old, but doe this seem like a good deal for $650?
Thanks for any insight you may have!
sounds like a good deal. With a modern shock, some new rubber and some HTA slackening (the challenging part where eccentric shock mounts and a Saar-like headset may be involved) you'll be set.
The frame looks like this I guess?
Well, I pulled the trigger and bought it. The seller was Anex Bicycles in Salt Lake City. Tyler (the owner) was super easy to deal with and eager to please. Deal was done within 24 hours and the bike was picked up by FedEx and on its way to me today. This is my first FS bike so I can't wait to get it out! Here's a pic from this AM before he packed it up.

While browsing the web I found these pictures of a roadbike called Cove Quickee. I tried but could not find any other pics regarding of this model. Is it fake or is it a prototype of a frame which never got into production at Cove Bikes?
they do exist.
its mine, there is a small write up on the previous page.
there were roughly 50 built(according to an old cove staff member) in 2002.
it was made in Vancouver, but most went to Europe for some reason. as far as i can find i have the only one on the internet.
here is the 2002 brochure scan
here is the bike now
ah, I was after keywords "cove road bikes" as your first pics were in my mind but I forgot where I saw them and your short write-up. shame on me not reading through this thread carefully enough... thank you for the information on this model! nice looking bike and great to know it is in safe hands!
Tyler at Anex sold me an El Cuervo with a cracked frame I discovered the crack when I cleaned the bike hours after I bought it. He will not return calls or messages.
Hi guys some nice bikes in here. I'm rebuilding a 2009 Hustler and having some issues with the main pivot. Do the two bearings on each side need to be pressed into the frame a bit rather than flush, so they hold the middle piece in place? Also mine had two thin plastic/rubber washers either side between the main pivot and the chainstay clamps, where can I get some more of these? Thanks. Will post some pics when the frame is finished.
My new Cove.
Needs some work...
All finished!
Nicely done J. Looking forward to ride report. Sub 28#?

Thanks, I'll be sure to post more once I've rode it a few times. I've started a new thread in the 29er forum.
It's 26.5lbs without pedals
Hit a bit of a snag with the build, details and more pics can be seen here for anyone interested
Cove Hummer 650bj but with BIG wheels.
So since the snag with the steerer tube on my Pike being too short and the 29" wheels making the bike the size of a farm gate, I decided to box the Hummer up until it was time to do a 27.5 build, which happened last week!
I decided to run a 140mm Revelation which the bike seemed to be made with in mind, a set of Hope Tech Enduro 27.5 wheels and a XT/XTR/OneUp Components 1x10 setup. I've got it down to under 26.5lbs (it had mud on it when I weighed it at 26.5!) with pedals and I'm considering running some Hope Tech XC wheels rather than the Enduro ones which should lop at least another half pound of it so I can definitely live with that considering that's with a Reverb and heavy Brooks saddle too.
Finished the build on Friday and took it out yesterday for its maiden voyage. This things rips! I didn't think it would be such a charger but it feels as capable as my old Yeti SB95c only more spritely and much more eager to turn. I think this bike has made me a mid-wheel size convert!! Ha ha!
Last edited by Just J; 03-23-2015 at 08:08 AM.
Updated specs, swapped the wheels for some Hope Tech XC's, cut the steerer down and tidied up some things. Sitting at 25.6lbs with that 0.6 being mostly in the saddle.

Released: Oct 17th, 2013
Running Time: 113 Min.
Director: Uncredited
Company: My Sexy Kittens
Distribution Companies: Pure Play Media
DVD Extras: None
Cast: Lilly, Tess (I), Linda (I), Lina (I), Camilla (I), Suzi, Vanessa (Sweethearts), Adrianne, Monika (Sweetheart), Kata, Others
Critical Rating: A
Genre: Foreign All-Sex, Solo, Young Girl
When these teenies are asked what they like to do the most ... the answer is "I like to film myself." But as much as they love to videotape their intimate private moments with a girlfriend or boyfriend, they still use sex to fulfill their needs. You will see stunning solo girls like Vanessa as a trickster, Monika and Tess during a special trio and some great lesbian scenes with Linda and Lilly.
As much as we've enjoyed watching young looking girls doing very naughty things in previous My Sexy Kittens titles, this volume of the Sweethearts Special series just seems to have been shot half-heartedly at best by the uncredited director. The performers all seem disinterested in being there, mainly going through the motions—even a g/g/b scene falls flat. It's never a good sign when the director decides to leave in things the likes of girls laughing at the guy trying his hardest to take his pants off, followed by the inexperienced cast looking clueless as to what they should do next. Sadly, this one is difficult to sit through.

Q: The holidays bring out the most embellished clothes. I love them, but how do I avoid going overboard?A: All year long my mantra is "A little goes a long way." Flash is always more flattering in small doses on demure—not tight or revealing—clothing. Otherwise the effect can be cheap, and you might end up highlighting figure flaws. Here are some easy ways to shine without lighting up like the ball in Times Square.
Instead of...
- A holiday-themed sweater
- An elaborate top with shiny bottoms
- Bright colors
- Matching pearl strands and studs
- Accessories on your ears, neck, wrist, and fingers
- Pointy stilletos
- A beaded cardigan
- A cotton button-down or tee with a satin skirt
- Rich, dark jewel tones
- Pearls mixed with chains and rhinestones
- Just one bold piece (like a cocktail ring or sequined scarf)
- Dressy ballet flats

Is it possible to start LXC container inside another LXC container?
I'm going to dispel a few myths here.
I don't see how this is a bad idea. It's really just a chroot inside a chroot. On one hand, it could possibly decrease performance in some negligible manner (nothing compared to running a VM inside a VM). On the other hand, it's likely to be more secure (e.g. more isolated from the root host system and it's constituents).
I agree 100% with the poster's following comment. Furthermore, I think it's safe to assume that everybody who posts a question on here likely thinks that they have a real reason to do [ it ]..
I actually came across this question back in June when I was first diving into LXC for PaaS/IaaS projects, and I was particularly interested in the ability to allow users to emulate cloud environments for development purposes.
I laughed a little bit when I read this one, but that's not, at all, the case :)
Anyway, I eventually set up a VirtualBox environment with a stock install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server Edition after reading all this, thinking that this was 100% possible. After installing LXC, I created a new container, and installed LXC inside the container with apt-get. Most of the installation progressed well, but resulted in error eventually due to a problem with the cgroup-lite package, whose upstart job failed to start after the package had been installed.
After a bit of searching, I came across this fine article at stgraber.org (the goodies are hiding under the "Container Nesting" section):
Installing that AppArmor policy and restarting the daemon did the trick (don't forget to change the network ranges, though!). In fact, I thought that particular snippet was so important that I mirrored it @ http://pastebin.com/JDFp6cTB just in case the article ever goes offline.
After that,
So, yes, it is possible to start an LXC container inside of another LXC container :)
With Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) you can simply add the following in the parent container config:
reference: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html#lxc-basic-usage (search for "nesting)
Make sure that you have pre-configured network before booting to avoid an long pause before the login screen appears!
Also... did you know you can now install ALL of Openstack into a single LXC container. Each of the Openstack "services" (nova, swift etc) are then all installed into "nested" lxc containers inside the "master/parent" container.
Takes a while to install everything but when done you have a nice testing OpenStack environment on your laptop or desktop to experiment with.
If you want to stop OpenStack you just lxc-stop the master/parent container same to restart Openstack.
Yes you can do nested LXC containers and despite the 1st comment there are times and use-cases where Nested containers are certainly useful. See Stephane Graber's 10 part LXC blog but in particular the section Container Nesting -
Stephane Graber's 10 part series on LXC
use-cases: Suppose you want a mult-tenant LXC environment. Create 1 Master container for each person or organization making sure to enable Nesting by adding the 2 cmds to the LXC container config file. Next in each Master container create your nested sub-containers where you install the apps, desktops etc that each group requires. NOTE that whereas the default network for the Master containers will be 10.0.3.x the nested containers will be 10.0.4.x by default (you can change either if you need to).
What is the biggest advantage I 've had using Nested LXC? If you lxc-stop the Master container and lxc-clone it.. you clone not only the Master but all the sub-containers... this is handy for quick backups. This approach is also handy if you ever want to do LXC live migration w/CRIU. When you migrate one of the Master containers to another Machine... you are actually migrating it and all nested containers as well.
Lastly, for a cool example of LXC nesting use Stephane Graber & others built a simulator for "The Internet" using LXC, BPG & OSPF all in 1 LXC container. Inside that 1 LXC "master or parent" LXC container there are 512 nested LXC containers each running Quagga for BGP/OSPF routing. Together those 512 Internet "nodes" simulate the Internet. This implementation was used at the 2014 NSEC security conference for all the attendees to experiment with security in the Internet.
The source for this is on Githug at: 2014 NSEC LXC simulator for The Internet github code

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has yet to decide if he'll remove the interim head coach tag from Jason Garrett and give him the job.
Jones says after Sunday's 14-13 win against Philadelphia that he
hasn't interviewed any candidates. Jones says he wants to move
"real quickly" on hiring a head coach, and could have a decision
this week.
Garrett is 4-3 since replacing Wade Phillips at midseason.
Jones says he plans to interview candidates after the season
finale. He wants to interview wide receivers coach Ray Sherman,
which would satisfy the league's rule about interviewing minority
candidates. Jones also would consider speaking to candidates
outside the organization.
Jones says he won't require an interview with Garrett.

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller's Reporter's Notebook from his journey with First Lady Laura Bush to Afghanistan details the heavy security and secrecy that shrouded the trip. Despite that, as Knoller writes: "The unspoken fear was that the wife of the U.S. president would be an irresistible target for Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists," nothing of the sort happened. Well, one moment was a little nerve-wracking. Knoller writes:
If there was a moment at which Mrs. Bush appeared in danger of her life, it was her visit to the military base in Bamiyan that is home to a contingent of forces from New Zealand.Read his full account of the trip here, or click below to watch a video of the aforementioned encounter.
They performed a "Haka" warrior's dance, in which they angrily chant, grunt, shake their fists, pound their chests, stick out there tongues and make threatening advances. One soldier approached Mrs. Bush wielding a spear.
Clearly her Secret Service knew what to expect and did nothing to stop the performance, but Mrs. Bush conceded later it looked menacing.
Interestingly enough, CBS News correspondent Hari Sreenivasan has reported on the Haka, and how it's sweeping the gridiron of American high school football. You can watch his excellent report

We bought the dresser/changer combo and this hutch at same time, they are made of very cheap material! We put the dresser together first and were extremely disappointed with the quality for the price, we didn't even bother putting together the hutch. We returned them to the store and I bought a different dresser from another manufacturer and for a comparable price, got a much higher quality piece of furniture! I DO NOT recommend this manufacturer!
We ordered this along w/ the dresser combo unit... once the hutch was put together and set on top of the dresser we were able to see that it isn't level. The one side was made to short. From side to side there was a 1/2 in. slope! I would have like the look but the slope is very noticable. We will probably order a new one.
It is a great product. It wasn't hard to assemble, and the price was great.

The Sound Particle Simulation Technique-An Efficient Prediction Method for Room Acoustical Parameters of Concert Halls
The Sound Particle Simulation Method (SPSM) and the Mirror Image Source Method (MISM) are well known room acoustical methods of numerical sound field simulation, especially of concert halls. All important room acoustical parameters can principally be predicted by both methods. It is shown, however, by a thorough analysis of probabilities, that the calculation of the MISM is much longer than that of the SPSM, so that the MISM is not able to compete with the SPSM. In contrast to the similar "Ray Tracing Technique," especially as far as detection is concerned, which is based on a particle model, the SPSM is a real Monte Carlo method, i.e. a statistical method. Some recent proposals for the reduction of the calculation time of this efficient algorithm are discussed.

Jonathan Cohn, at the New Republic, examines the media's coverage of Congressman Ryan's convention speech and the degree to which it was less than honest. Cohn is one of the smartest policy analysts I know of, and here he engages in the fine art of casuistry, which got a bad name in Elizabethan England and Port Royal, but which is nothing else than a concern for precision in moral analysis. Bravo.

This putter was incredibly priced while also being a high quality product. The putter I received was well balanced, and good to go. It will take a few rounds to truly learn how to place with it. But I liked what I got out of it the first two times out.
- How accurate was the sizing? Very
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
My bf loves it. He likes the sound it makes when he hits the ball.
KD party gift all wanted it.
Good putter - had to replace chest putter and this did it
Very surprised at what a quality product. I would recommend this for someone looking for an even weighted putter, but not spending $200.
Works well for me. Well balanced and makes solid contact.
It is great for the price...😊
great to use in a practive range
Visually appealing. Pure contact. I have complete confidence in this putter. I am excited to put it in play again.
Love the weight and feel of this putter
Love the new putter. It isn't as heavy as I anticipated (My old one has a lot of mass) but it feels wonderful. this one even "sings" to you when you hit it on center. Like a tuning fork. Cool. It feels like I can hit it straighter because it is a little lighter. On fast greens it is 100%. Slow greens cause me to try to push harder but then thats true with any putter. Delivery was right as promised.
Excellent putter. I purchase one for myself and after putting with it, It had great feel and 2 of the people that I play golf loved it. I them purchased 2 more for them. For the price you can not go wrong.
This club had excellent fit and finish comparable to much more expensive manufacturers. The club's balance is good, but unfortunately, it's a little short for me (I'm 6'1"). The putter came with a nice, embroidered headcover. I would highly recommend anything from Pinemeadow. Having used much more expensive clubs over the years, I am convinced that you will not find a better product for the price.
I am not the greatest golfer, but I had a real old putter and I decided that it was time for an upgrade. Found this gem, and bought it right away. For the price, it can't be beat. You can't tell me a $150 putter is going to up your game any more than this putter would. I've used it once and I am very pleased with the weight, although it's very different than what I was previously used to. You can't go wrong here. Only negative is it makes a ping noise as you make contact with the ball. It doesnt bother me, but I could see it bothering some people.
This was a gift for my dad and he loves it, his game has improved.
Can't say this enough, something that is inexpensive but a great starter that has a good modern look to it. This is a good choice.
- How accurate was the sizing? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes
Great deal for the money invested... I would recommend this product.
- How accurate was the sizing? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Putter has lived up to ALL of my expectations !!! I am putting more consistantly on-line and with more confidence.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
Great, it was shipped on schedule and all was as advertised with no hidden costs.

For 75 soldiers and their family members, the new year couldn't be off to a better start.
After more than four months in Afghanistan, and several adjustments to their return time, soldiers from the 576th Engineer Company arrived at Fort Carson Friday morning, just in time to ring in 2012 at home.
The unit arrived at about 9:50 a.m. to a homecoming ceremony in the Special Events Center.
The soldiers deployed to Afghanistan in August, where they conducted route clearance operations in an area from Kandahar Airfield to Camp Leatherneck as part of Task Force Rugged.
While overseas, the unit disarmed and removed over 40 homemade bombs.

Picture credit: Darren Gerrish But how did he come to reach that legendary status? That was what he sat down to discuss with Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers today - from arriving in London with no money, and no idea how to earn any, to photographing some of the world's most famous and beautiful people. Not to mention a career that includes working with British Vogue for 25 years.At its earliest form, Testino pinpoints the catalyst of his success as a simple desire to build a career out of doing something he loved ("The year has 365 days and I want each and every one of them to be exciting"). In his teenage years the Peruvian-born photographer took pictures of his friends - who he dubs "the weirdos of Lima" - and it was looking back at those snapshots that lead him to realise that fashion was his calling. Picture credit: Morgan O'Donovan "I went through moments of total poverty," he said of his first few years in London, before revealing that he used to meet a young Lucinda Chambers during her days as a Vogue receptionist for lunch - so that he could share her lunch vouchers. The two remain good friends to this day, and have collaborated on countless British Vogue cover shoots. He described photographing Princess Diana as a turning point in his career ("She requested somebody young - at that time, I was young") - and a moment which enabled him to experience "a whole new realm of photography". A strong relationship with the British royal family consequently developed, which he says has been "a gift to his career". So what, in his own words, does he think has been the number one secret to his success? Adaptability. That and his apparent ability to calmly take anything in his stride."Ultimately I made my range wider because I wanted to suit each publication that I worked for," he said. "Talk about reinvention - I'm like the Madonna of photography."- Sarah Karmali

Foot Locker chairman and CEO Ken C. Hicks credited his entire team for once again achieving record levels of sales and profits in the second quarter.
Net income for the quarter increased to $92 million, from $66 million in the year-ago period.
Total sales increased 12.9%, to $1.64 billion, compared with $1.45 billion for the corresponding prior-year period. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, total sales for the second quarter increased 11.7%. Same-store sales rose 7%, beating analysts' expectations.
"We delivered excellent financial and operational results through the outstanding execution of our strategic priorities. This continues to be a winning formula for us, and we remain committed to taking full advantage of the many opportunities we have identified — over the near, intermediate, and longer terms — to continue producing a consistent, strong performance," Hicks added.
As of Aug. 2, the company operated 3,460 stores in 23 countries in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, 47 franchised Foot Locker stores were operating in the Middle East and South Korea, as well as 27 franchised Runners Point and Sidestep stores in Germany and Switzerland.

COMMERCE, TX -- Texas A&M Commerce is starting a new plan that guarantees students tuition rates will stay the same up to four years.
The university's new plan called [in]tuition will begin this fall and guarantees students a set rate on tuition and mandatory fees for two or four years.
"The university's new guaranteed tuition plan – [in]tuition – takes the mystery out of planning for a college education by guaranteeing that tuition and fees will not go up for two or four years," said President Dan R. Jones. "It's just one more reason that A&M-Commerce is known as 'the university that cares.'"
The plan is based on Texas House Bill 29, which was signed and approved last month. It's designed to eliminate uncertainty and allow students and parents to budget for their education.
