CORVALLIS — It's the middle of an Oregon State fall camp practice, and Victor Bolden has pulled Xavier Hawkins behind the crowd of teammates assembled to watch 11-on-11 drills.
Bolden, technically "out" on this day with a hamstring injury, shows Hawkins, a true freshman thrust into first-team reps, a stutter-step move to shake a cornerback at the line of scrimmage. Bolden asks Hawkins to replicate. Then again and again, before a team staffer alerts both players that Hawkins' group will be up again soon.
This is why Beavers receivers coach Brent Brennan sometimes forgets Bolden is just a sophomore. Though he doesn't quite fit the "veteran" definition in terms of game production — six catches for 62 yards in his debut season, along with starting kick return duties — Bolden's maturity welcomes that description.
"I feel like a veteran in a sense to our receiving corps," the soft-spoken Bolden said. "It's my job, me being the most experienced, to help out the inexperienced receivers. I'm just gonna give them all the information I know and let them do what they do."
That mental makeup stems from a work ethic his parents instilled as they coached him in track and field. Then, he honed it during a season observing the diligent approach of Biletnikoff winner Brandin Cooks, who took the time to teach Bolden the nuances of OSU's complicated pro-style offense.
No one is asking Bolden to completely duplicate Cooks' monster 2013 season, which included 128 catches for 1,730 yards and 15 touchdowns. But Bolden boasts the skills to fill a similar role on offense by getting behind the secondary on vertical routes, making defenders miss in the open field on short passes and stretching plays to the outside on the fly sweep.
Is Bolden ready for the challenge? He needs to be.
"He's the best guy," Brennan said. "It's a really simple answer, to be honest with you. We lost a really dynamic player at the position he plays. He was the second-string guy.
"It's time. It's time for him."
• • •
A neighborhood dog first taught Bolden he was fast. It wasn't even a big dog, Bolden confesses today with a laugh. It might have been a chihuahua.
Bolden was somewhere between the age of 4 and 6 and tagging along with the family at a local park near their hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, California. Somehow, this dog got off its leash and frightened Bolden.
He took off running, dashing from home plate of a softball field to the outfield grass. The dog chased after him.
"I've never seen a kid run that fast," said Bolden's mother, Zelda, who also recalled the story unprompted. "It was the funniest thing ever. It was adorable. It wasn't even a big dog ...
"That's when we discovered, 'Hmmm, this kid is kind of fast.' "
That speed was confirmed in Victor's first track meet, which started terribly wrong then ended totally right. He fell at the start, only to get up and pass the field to win the race.
Zelda really should not have been surprised by Victor's speed. He was clearly taking after his mom, who still holds school records in the 100-meter and 200-meter hurdles at Mt. San Antonio College.
So Zelda and Victor's dad, Victor Sr., became two of Victor's first track coaches. Victor's sister, Tori, who is a year younger but was often mistaken for a Victor's twin, joined in the family affair.
Zelda brought stories from her time on the track, such as when her coach would drag a trash can onto the track so she could throw up and then finish the workout. And Zelda was tough, too, as Victor's childhood teammate and former Beavers receiver Walter Jones joked with Brennan that he was still scared of Zelda because of her intense demands.
Victor didn't see it that way, though. He most remembers her calming voice and a style that featured a blend of pushing and encouraging.
He immediately brought that work ethic, Zelda said. But he was also a bit stubborn, needing to know why a drill was beneficial before he would do it. Those early track years are also when Zelda first tried to teach her son about teamwork, as she'd sometimes pull him off individual events so others would get a chance to develop.
"Sometimes he was the sacrificial lamb," Zelda said. "But in the end, he was able to develop his leadership and appreciate the fact that he was able to help someone else."
Victor also played soccer, the sport Tori now plays at California. He tried basketball.
Anything but football, Mom said. Zelda had many of the same concerns as any protective mom, particularly since Victor — who today is listed generously at 5-foot-9 on OSU's official roster — was so small and slender. She worried about the hits, the violent nature and the "big people."
"I was completely against it," Zelda said, adding, "I was trying to avoid it. I was like, 'You can do everything except for that.' "
But his time for football would come.
• • •
When Victor was 13, Zelda finally gave in. Then, in his first Los Osos High School game, Victor scored a touchdown the first time he touched the ball as a returner.
"He can still run track," Zelda thought to herself.
And Victor did, setting a school record in the 300 hurdles with a time of 37.82 and finishing second in the 2012 California Interscholastic Federation meet in the event. Yet he blossomed into a multipurpose football star, playing receiver, running back, Wildcat quarterback, cornerback and kick returner.
Bolden's biggest adjustment? Looking through the bars on the football helmet.
His versatility especially popped when Bolden, still searching for his first Division I offer, attended one of OSU's satellite camps in the summer of 2012.
Bolden excelled on offense. Then, he flipped to corner and locked down the best receiver at the camp, Brennan recalled.
"He was just a football player," Brennan said. "He liked to play and kept going. He just kept taking turns and he was super competitive."
That day, the Beavers coaching staff made an impression on Zelda. Their chatter with the family did not feel rehearsed. They didn't resemble "car salesmen," like so many other staffs. Later on, Zelda was encouraged that Brennan went to Victor's high school and talked with teachers and other staff members, not just coaches.
"I will trust them with my son," Zelda said. "I never felt that way with the other coaches. Ever."
Those school visits were memorable for Brennan, too. Even with Victor's quiet personality — "very, very shy," Mom says — everyone seemed to have a story about his diligence, kindness and respect he had earned as a prominent student.
"Even the security guards that we had that worked at the school ... everyone loved him," Tori said. "He's just one of those people that you can't not like."
Bolden also knew he would fit in OSU's offense.
He grew up a USC fan and remembered the Beavers' 2006 upset of the No. 3 Trojans. He loved former star Jacquizz Rodgers, who reminded Bolden of, well, himself.
After committing in July 2012, Bolden's family made an official visit that November and got to see Cooks and Markus Wheaton in action.
"This could be a good place for me," he thought.
The time was right. The visit sealed his decision.
• • •
Heading into the 2013 season, rising senior Micah Hatfield sustained a hamstring injury during the crucial middle portion of fall camp.
Enter Bolden, who began taking the second-team reps at flanker and meticulously shadowing Cooks.
"He kept making more and more plays," Brennan said. "The more he played, the more the discussions in our staff room were like, 'Hey, Victor Bolden.' Everyone was talking about him."
Brennan and Riley determined Bolden could help as a true freshman, particularly on special teams. Though sitting behind a superstar on the depth chart did not offer consistent playmaking opportunities on offense, Bolden showed flashes of dynamic ability with the ball in his hands.
He became an option on the fly sweep, scoring on a 25-yard run late in the Civil War. He returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown against Washington. He finished the season with more than 1,300 all-purpose yards.
After the season, Cooks left early for the NFL, moving Bolden into the starting flanker spot.
The biggest lesson Bolden learned from college football's best receiver? Have a short memory — about positive plays.
"Even if you make a good play," Bolden said, "your job is to make another one."
That time is coming.
• • •
The Bolden family still laughs about the little dog chasing Victor in the park. And he's still a popular guy back in California.
While visiting a high school in Long Beach last spring, a female track and field athlete asked Brennan about Bolden. Whenever Bolden comes home, the friends of his younger brother, Silas, rush over to play.
"He's grown from this little tiny kid that you thought, 'Oh my God, is he ever gonna grow?' to this really amazing, humble athlete," Zelda said. "I am so proud to call him my son."
Meanwhile, Bolden has progressed during his second offseason in Corvallis.
He added about five pounds of muscle to prepare himself for the extra hits. He consistently stayed late after practice during the spring and is "always easy to find" for film sessions, Beavers quarterback Sean Mannion said. He has made strides in his route-running and knowledge of the playbook. Brennan particularly loves that he embraces any kind of coaching.
"He's good with a hug or he's good with me yelling at him," Brennan said. "He doesn't care. He just wants to be coached and he just wants to take it all in and listen ... he just wants to talk and try and fix it. He's awesome that way."
Zelda can see her son's growth in three separate photographs. The first shows a tiny kid during his freshman year of high school. The second shows a maturing senior. The third is of Victor and Cooks together on the beach at the Hawaii Bowl.
Cooks won't be in any photos with Bolden this season. Bolden knows the expectations surrounding him. Now, it's his chance to apply that maturity, that "veteran" title, on Saturdays.
It's his time.
"This is gonna be over before you know it," Brennan told Bolden. "So how do you want to go right now? Don't wish for it down the road. Make it happen now."

Parking Meters Dismantled in Solidarity with Grand Jury Resistors
On the night of August 5th, we used industrial adhesives and a hammer to dismantle every parking meter on Edgewood Avenue in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta (45 parking meters total). On a large wall next to the biggest section of parking meters we spray-painted "FUCK THE GRAND JURY -- <3 FOR PNW (A)".
This is just a small gesture of solidarity with comrades in Portland, Seattle, and Olympia who are resisting the grand jury which released 6 subpoeneas late last month. We know that the point of these hearings is to stultify the rebellion of those in the Pacific-Northwest who have helped to escalate the unending social war of which we are all apart. All across the country -- in San Francisco, Oakland, New York, East St. Louis, the Twin Cities, Seattle, and elsewhere -- anarchists have decided to meet this repression with further attacks against the dominant social order. We hope that our humble act warms the hearts of all who resist.
Additionally, there is a profound hatred of the privatized parking enforcement in Atlanta. We have chosen this target for the immediate effects it will have on our lives and to stoke the flames of rage against paid parking enforcement and law enforcement in general.

Megarace 3
Megarace was one of the first games available on cd-rom only and for its time it was very groundbreaking. Part 2 was still good although time had caught up with the license. Now, Cryo presents us Megarace 3 with the subtitle : "Nanotech Disaster", and a disaster it is.
Just like in the previous versions of Megarace, Lance Boyle is the guy that will tell you what to do in his own "cynical" way. Maybe it's me, but while I used to find him funny in the original games, his humour has far faded away in this version. All he can do is say stupid stuff that hardly makes any (which is his style) and it isn't even funny anymore. Also the video presentations are afwul and you can hardly understand him unless you turn up the volume alot.
Of course, Lance Boyle isn't Megarace. The presentations may suck if the game itself is any good. Unfortunately that isn't the case.
The tracks are very different throughout the game but nothing seems to put them together. One track may look like some high-speed futuristic racing stadium while another makes you think you're driving inside the guts of some huge alien animal. Sometimes a track can even look like a combination of both these types.
To make it even worse, the developers must have thought that putting alot of bright colors in the tracks, combined with very dark places must look very futuristic. Reality check : it doesn't. All that the overflow of fluorescent colors does is make it hard to see where you need to drive.
There are four types of game modes : practice, arcade, career and catastrophe. None of them being interesting though (considering you need to play practice before you can do the other modes). Inside each game mode you can choose 3 playing modes including attack, defense and speed. Each of these modes speak for themselves. In attack mode you'll try to kill as many opponents as possible, defense will be used if you're in the lead and don't want to get killed, and speed is usefull when you're trying to apprehend an adversary that's ahead of you.
In total there are 12 vessels but after having played with 6, I was already tired of the game. I didn't really notice much difference in the crafts and the adversaries always look like small future-like cars. It's like every opponent uses the same ship all the time while you can choose different crafts for each race. Total boredom all over.
If you're looking for an arcade racing game at a low price, I suggest you try to find a budget version of Wipeout which is still way better in replay value than Megarace 3, and at full price this game just isn't worth it at all

In the late 1990s singer-songwriter and voice teacher Ruth Gerson '92 discovered the benefits of performing in people's living rooms versus in clubs — she wasn't pushed on and off stage, the audience members really listened to the music, and she enjoyed the relaxed, intimate setting. She also found it more lucrative than club playing. "By the end of the night, we were all singing together," said Gerson, who remains friends with some of the people she met at her first living room concert in Washington, D.C.
Several years ago she performed living room concerts for charity – asking the hosts to pick a cause they cared about. During that year, she helped raise $100,000 for various organizations through some 50 concerts.
This year, with the release of her latest album, Deceived, she aims to help raise $100,000 for one particular cause: the prevention of domestic violence. She's donating proceeds from the album and performing a series of living room concerts and shows to benefit domestic violence prevention organizations.
Released in May, Deceived, which has been called a "beautiful record" by NPR critic Ann Powers, is a selection of traditional, country, and folk songs, half of which are murder ballads that tell stories of domestic violence. "You could listen to it while eating dinner by candlelight," wrote Powers. "Gerson keeps her powerful voice whispery and calm for these renditions. … The effect is to cast new light on familiar songs."
Gerson picked the prevention of domestic and family violence because of her own experience. "I grew up in a violent household," she says. "I feel gratitude for the individuals and organizations that supported me. And I want to do the same. I want to give something back."
A religion major at Princeton, Gerson believes "if we are a culture that aspires for peace, we can't have that until there's peace in the home."

ESCANABA - Not too many folks these days, it seems, are skilled with their hands.
A generation or so back, people changed their own oil. They knit, sewed and mended. Things that were repairable got fixed and not tossed straight into the trash.
That kind of hands-on ingenuity will be on display this evening as Escanaba presents its sesquicentennial parade.
Article Photos

Richard Butryn of Bark River rides his retooled Model A Ford in this 1963 photo taken during Escanaba's Centennial parade. Fifty years later, Butryn and masterpiece will return to Ludington as part of tonight's Esky 150 parade. He augmented the frame with a circa 1900 steam engine from a local farmer.
Ellie O'Donnell's cat "Puppy" inspects the progress her owner and Gary Severinsen have made on their miniature version of the Sand Point Lighthouse, which will be featured in tonight's sesquicentennial parade. On Monday the historical society will unveil its new archives/museum complex in Ludington Park.
As you view the parade, keep an eye out for homemade creations - banners, floats, displays, costumes. Also look for things like a miniature Sand Point Lighthouse crafted by members of the local historical society.
Another conversation piece will be Richard Butryn's specially made Model A Ford.
The vehicle, which Butryn and friends constructed in time for Escanaba's centennial parade in 1963, is making its return to Ludington Street.
Mr. Butryn says it all began when as a boy of 15 he became fascinated by a neighbor's large stationary steam engine that had been used on a buzz saw rig in the Schaffer area.
"I thought it would be nice to see it on something where everyone could see it, and a car came to mind."
So, after trading his neighbor 15 Christmas trees for the engine, Butryn went into Bark River and acquired a Model A frame for $5. A side trip to Coplan's salvage yard in north Escanaba yielded necessary parts.
"Then my friend George Potvin came over - George is still our local blacksmith and artist - and we took the rim from a wooden wagon wheel and heated, cut and bent it for the motor mounts. Iron was scarce after World War II; that's why we used what we could."
Butryn and Potvin tinkered with a forge, using a vacuum cleaner motor on the bottom to generate lots of heat. Some fine tuning was done at blacksmith Joe Labeau's place, he added, including "some torch work and welding. I later built the cab with some pine boards." Potvin brought his work of art to Escanaba for the centennial parade, along with pals Potvin, Roger Boudreau, Carl Fassbender, Chum Dubord and Ben Yagodzinski.
His nifty car was featured in several other parades over the years, including Des Plaines, Ill., where Butryn worked for the city.
"It was the early '70s and the gas crunch was on," he recalled. "I guess people looked at my car for some alternative fuel, I guess, but I received a standing ovation from the judges and a first prize."
Butryn jested that his car "will probably burn anything liquid - like moonshine and tequila - the same stuff I do occasionally." Nevertheless, his can-do attitude and creativity may just well be instructive to today's youth.
I wonder what the neatest invention will be in the year 2063?
Karen (Rose) Wils and her sister, Lori Rose, are lifelong residents of north Escanaba. Karen's folksy columns are published weekly in Lifestyles.

I headed to Khum Phaaw's school in the morning with Mali where it would be held and after being roped into speaking to some of the school's students the first round of dancing kicked off. The costumes were all traditional Thai styles which made me realize just how many there are with wave after wave of dances each with a different elaborate costume even if the actual dances differed little.
The dancing in the morning continued onto Mor Lam in the afternoon which is the traditional Thai style of dancing for Issan province with everyone squeezing into what little shade was available on the sports field with those performing in the costumes having to look graceful and beautiful while no doubt suffering in the heat
It was during the watching of more Mor Lam performances in the town's center (the performances were all across town) that the memory card in my camera decided to die resulting in me losing a weeks worth of pictures including all those of today. I'll just say that some of the words that escaped my mouth at that time I really couldn't teach in the classroom.
After a break from the dancing at home we set out again to grab some dinner at a street side eatery before heading back to face the music once more.
Now I appreciate the hard work that has gone into the performances and genuinely like the style and music but after 3 hours it did start to get a little repetitive. After 6 hours it started to get tiresome but after almost 10 hours of watching today it simply became painful not helped by the fact that each dance went on for so long and seemed to tease you with what seemed like a finale to then wind back up again for another 20 minutes.
We finally left the field around 1am after nearly 17 hours, albeit with a few breaks, so I think I can say we at least saw some traditional Thai dancing today.

"Boeing is ready for this contract. Washington is ready for this contract. Our worker are ready to start building it tomorrow," Gregoire said.
Murray said the jobs are a reminder of what's at stake for the state.
"A robust aerospace industry in Washington state affects our businesses, schools, communities and families," she said.
Gregoire and Murray appeared today with Everett-area officials and union members holding signs that read "Doing it right in the USA" and "Best tanker made by American workers."
The order for 179 planes worth $35 billion would extend the life of the Boeing 767 line at the factory in Everett and would likely lead to more orders for the air-refueling plane.
Boeing is competing with the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., which makes the Airbus. The Pentagon plans to award the contract in August.
The Pentagon has been trying for seven years to start the process to replace Boeing KC-135 tankers that date from the 1950s. Past attempts have failed repeatedly for reasons ranging from bungling by the Pentagon to the criminal convictions of a Boeing executive and a top Defense Department official.
The Air Force formally reopened the bidding earlier this year.
The 11,000 jobs represent those supported or retained in both the tanker and 767 commercial jetliner programs, said Elizabeth Lund, Boeing 767 general manager. She did not have a breakdown on jobs just from the tanker aspect.
Gregoire and Murray said the tanker program would impact a total of 50,000 jobs and 800 suppliers nationally. Seventy of those suppliers are in Washington state.

Former Bills free agent cornerback Jabari Greer visited the Saints Wednesday after leaving Cleveland and never made it out of the Big Easy.
Greer, 5-11, 180, signed a 4-year deal worth $23 million, according to nationalfootballpost.com
Greer, who started 23 games the past two seasons in Buffalo, returned two interceptions for touchdowns last season. He would've competed for a starting cornerback job with the Browns or served as the nickelback.
As of Wednesday evening, the Browns were still in the hunt for former Vikings linebacker Heath Greer and were preparing to host Jets defenders David Bowens, a linebacker, and C.J. Mosely, a defensive lineman.
Titans cornerback Chris Carr also left Cleveland without signing a contract.

To the Editor:
The United States is the least taxed of all the major nations. This is not an opinion, but a fact. Our taxes are unfair and too complex, but the revenue from them is inadequate to meet the needs of our social services and infrastructure. More taxes, rightly levied and applied, would lift the economy and our troubled nation.
At bottom, the problem is an electorate unversed in macroeconomics and a media that seems too centered on echoing politicians who are anxious to please the people who sent them to Washington.
Tax and spend, maligned by the misinformed, is precisely the solution to our troubles. Spend to employ, spend to repair, spend to build, spend to innovate. Full employment and a thriving economy are the obvious ways to tame the deficit.
We have listened long enough to the pied pipers of pessimism.
James S. Taylor
More tax revenue will help US meet needs

Im currently level 14 and im excited that in two more levels time ill have the Stauger au1. But im wondering is it a better gun than the sigmus 9?
What are the pro's and cons of the Stauger au1 and given the choice of those two and only those two, which would you be stranded with?
Stauger is a quality weapon at those levels.
56-BlackEcho: 2253 0769 9420: lvl 56
WC Chat: http://www.chatzy.com/946665897589
im a lvl 42 my online name is a10 year old i like the stauger better. I used to use it with the ACOG scope but i like the anova now. so if u want a good gun then go with the stauger cause its a real lifesaver outta those two.
Stauger would be better for general use, but I much prefer the Sig9 for use as a SMG.
(56) - Dok, Dok socute, Dok sobrave
(29) - Inde
aiite thanks, in a agressive level like the night club which of those two would you favour?
The Stauger is good for close combat if you don,t like shotguns. Personally I found that the kallos was the best all around gun untill lvl 25 Terralite. When Aiming down sight with the kallos it is pretty accurate but the Stauger wanders something awful.
strauger hands down
something nifty about the stauger is that while reloading, you can shave off a few seconds of reload time by meleeing the moment your clip is full. Doing this is faster than using the speed loader gadget in my opinion.
this only worked with the stauger though, but i'm only lv 28 so i havent tested the other guns to see if this works, most of the gun's clip only reloads at the end of the reload animation.

Representative Sam Graves, the Missouri Republican who heads the House Small Business Committee, proposed a bill yesterday that would increase the share of government contracts that Congress asks federal agencies to award to small business to 25 percent.
Raising the target, currently at 23 percent, will "make it easier for small businesses to enter this marketplace and compete for contracts," Graves said in a statement. The lawmaker is also proposing legislation that would "improve data on how often federal agencies consolidate a number of contracts into one large contract, which can make it tougher for small companies to win an award," according to Bloomberg News.
A 2 percentage point increase potentially means real money for small contractors: The difference amounted to more than $7 billion in federal awards last year. The government frequently misses its contracting targets, but Graves's proposal comes as Washington is closing in on the 23 percent goal for the first time since 2005.
Washington awarded $83.2 billion in contracts to small businesses in the year ending September 2013, according to the Small Business Dashboard at data.gov. That was good for 23.4 percent of the total contracting pool. If small businesses had been awarded 25 percent of federal contracts, they would have taken home $88.9 billion in government business.
You can read this as Graves, a frequent critic of the president, trying to move the goal posts just as the White House is closing in on the existing target. A more sympathetic reading: Raising the bar will call more attention to agencies that miss contracting goals and perhaps prod them into awarding more work to small businesses.
Graves and others say the government uses accounting tricks—mostly by excluding certain contracts—to inflate its calculation of the small business share. In an e-mail, Small Business Administration spokeswoman Tiffani Clements wrote that number-crunching methods have "generally remained consistent over the years and across administrations" and said there are legal reasons for some exclusions.

Backpacker Magazine staff members Randy and Sheri Proposter will be presenting the latest tips and gear for backpackers at 7 p.m. July 1 at Apex Outdoor Gear, 4222, 29th St. SE in Kentwood.
The free one hour seminar is being offered at 73 stores around the country as part of the magazine's "Get Out More" tour.
The evening topics will include backpacking essentials, survival tips, trail tips and the newest gear and clothing.
Watersnake delisted
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to remove the Lake Erie watersnake from the federal threatened and endangered species list. FWS staffers report the harmless snake was once threatened with extinction. It inhabits offshore islands in Lake Erie in Ohio and Ontario.
It was listed as threatened and faced the risk of becoming endangered. Its recovery is credited to habitat protection and public education. The federal recovery plan called for at least 5,555 snakes on the U.S. islands for six years. That has been exceeded since 2001. The population is now 8,600 snakes.
Warbler gets marker
A new historical marker celebrating the Kirtland's Warbler's recovery in Michigan and efforts to save it, has been installed at a state rest area at the I-75/US-127 junction.
The marker is a collaborative effort between the Michigan Historical Commission, Michigan Environmental Council and the State Historic Preservation Office. MHC and MEC are partnering to create the Michigan Conservation Trail.
The Kirtland's marker is the second on the trail. The first is the Detroit River at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge in Trenton. It commemorates the efforts of conservationists and sporting groups that demanded tougher state water pollution laws.
Snowmobile council grows
Two additional appointees were recently selected by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to the state Snowmobile and Trails Advisory Council.
Carolyn Kane, of Vestaburg, former chairwoman for the Michigan Trails & Greenways Alliance, was appointed to represent non-motorized trail users and trailway interests. Erin McDonough, of Williamston, the director for Michigan United Conservation Clubs was also appointed. She represents the interests of the hunting and fishing communities in Michigan.
Council holds contest
The Pere Marquette Watershed Council is holding a guided catch and release trout fishing contest July 16 and 17 on the Pere Marquette River. The cost for a two person team to enter is $500. Proceeds from the event will be used for continuing stream and fish habitat improvements.
Teams will draw the names of fishing guides who will, in turn, draw sections of river to fish. The number and size of the fish caught and released will determine the winners. For details see firstname.lastname@example.com or call Tom Curtain at 231-8505.

The new seasonal concoction.
Caffelatex Tire Sealant is different than other liquid latex sealants on the market -- it has a foaming agent that effectively creates a tire filling foam as your tire rolls down the road or trail. The advantage is that the Caffelatex foaming sealant can seal the rim/tire junction and sidewall punctures as you ride. For a sidewall puncture, other riders will have to stop and jiggle their tires to allow sealant to flow towards the damaged portion of the tire. But you'll ride right on by as Caffelatex does the job for you.
Caffelatex is a liquid, latex based tire sealant. It's ammonia-free, so it won't harm your tires and rims. It's available in a 1000ml bottle that, depending on your tire size and type, will allow you to install and seal at least ten tires. Caffelatex will seal punctures as big as 6mm in mountain and 3mm in road tires with high pressures.

Healthy alternative for tires/rims.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have been using EM sealant since I started using tubeless more than 5 years ago. Tubeless are my all around training and racing tire. Actually last week I was ready to get to the line for a criteria and heard a noise coming from the tire rotation. Look down and there it is a paper clip medium size going thru my front tire (Schwalbe Ones) with less than 2 months of use... everybody around me panicked when they realized my scenario. they were even more amazed when I took out the clip and it sealed within 2 secs. This sealant works better when rolling than stationary and is safe for tires and rims. I used stand on some rims and they tend to provoque corrosion if you leave it there for prolonged periods of time. With this sealant I only have to worry on when the tire is ready for a replacement which in my case its usually every 6 months. There is no sealant that can prevent the catastrophic full size screw or tire side wall slash. For those cases always carry a rubber repair kit and apply the rubber patch inside the tire put sealant and you can safely ride home, the sealant will take care of create a good seal around the cut.

#7221 closed bug (worksforme)
DataKinds with recursive data and type synonym causing GHC to crash

|Type of failure:
|Compile-time crash
|Test Case:

When working on an answer to a stackoverflow question, I got the following ghc panic:
urk! lookup local fingerprint main:Main.VZero{d r9Y}
The relevant code is:
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-} data VNat = VZero | VSucc VNat type T1 = VZero main = return ()
The problem did not arise in GHCi or with any optimization turned on. Additionally, it presumably has some machine-dependent aspects, as the author of the stackoverflow problem did not mention ghc crashing. Then again, this error occured after type checking, and that author had a type error. I have no idea as to whether this is related to bug #5036, which had a similar error message but vastly different circumstances. The error did not occur when I made VNat not recursive. Oddly, it seemed to occur during the "Deleting temp dirs" phase of compilation:
*** Deleting temp dirs: Deleting: /tmp/ghc27666_0 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.4.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux): urk! lookup local fingerprint main:Main.VZero{d r9Y} Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

It seems to be working under 7.6, but given the fickle nature of the problem, I have no idea whether it is actually fixed.

Hey New York Times, I still love ya, but please, just shut up with all those pseudo-uplifting "joy of poverty" stories that you've been shoving down our throats lately. Here's a small sampling of what I'm talking about:
2/12/09: The Boom is Over: Long Live the Art!. This is the one where Holland Cotter told artists,
"…it's Day Job time again in America, and that's O.K. Artists have always had them — van Gogh the preacher, Pollock the busboy, Henry Darger the janitor — and will again. The trick is to try to make them an energy source, not a chore."
That bit has already been roundly ridiculed on various arts blogs, so I won't flog it any further. More recently, however, the Times published another of its attempts at an emotional pick-me-up, Tight Times Loosen Artists' Creativity (5/19/09), in which an artist named Liz Fallon from Portland, Me. is cited as an example of how artists are learning to exult in their new-found freedoms, now that they've stopped selling work and can support themselves with crappy part-time tele-marketing jobs:
"As for myself, freed from the constraints of creating for a specific buyer,†Ms. Fallon wrote [in an email], "I've experienced my own surge in creativity and have been producing a great deal more than I used to. While it would be nice to still be getting paid for my work, the need to be more resourceful is having a beneficial effect on the arts community around me.â€
In a follow-up interview Ms. Fallon said she supports herself working as a customer-service representative for a direct-marketing firm, and that the lack of commissions has enabled her to pursue new projects, like illustrations of classic children's literature.
"Nobody wants me to do anything, so I'm just doing what I want,†she said.
Can't offer a better retort than that already given by Susie Bright, who responded thusly during a related Facebook exchange (reproduced on the blog New Curator):
And again, on 6/9/09: Special Report: Contemporary Art: Getting Creative in a Downturn. Even the French are "getting creative" and (I love this) "rediscovering" drawing BECAUSE IT'S SO CHEAP.
"….In France, the slump has been marked by a return to traditional drawing, exhibited in a profusion of small-scale shows, often curated by art students….. Serghei Litvin Manoliu…said, "The golden boy approach to art is over.†His show, the 21st Century International Drawing Fair, was a crisis-friendly, minimalist affair, offered unframed works for around €300, displayed on tables in a bare, loft-like space in the hip Marais district of Paris.
Unlike art produced mainly as a commodity for financial speculation, Mr. Manoliu said, "drawing requires excellent skills.â€
"The art world had lost every criterion of quality,†he said. "I believe this crisis is a fabulous opportunity for the arts.â€
I have time to read the new John le Carre, while nibbling at sweet tangerines in the sun. When a Sigur Ros album comes out, it fills my days and nights, resplendent. And then it seems that happiness, like peace or passion, comes most freely when it isn't pursued.


text: I recently purchased a new Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro. I'm an old gun handler and presently have several to choose from. I "fondled" the pistol in the gun shop and it really felt just right to me. At $298 for a stainless one it was a bargain and I thought it would make a good glove box gun. Truthfully, I bought it on impulse because it fit my hand like it was made for me. I have read the search engines and it seems that the positive comments far outweigh the negative ones. I won't get a chance to shoot it until next week, hopefully it will perform as good as it fits. Comments pro and con would be appreciated. Regards, JW

GLOVERSVILLE - It wasn't the first time Daniel Storto was commissioned by the editors at Vogue magazine to design and sew a pair of gloves, but this order presented a new challenge for the glovemaker of Gloversville.
Though British model Stella Tennant appeared in American Vogue in May wearing Storto's gloves, this time Vogue wanted embellished gloves for its September 120th anniversary edition, on stands now.
He was contacted by Camilla Nickerson, Vogue stylist and fashion editor.
Article Photos
Daniel Storto stands in his shop, decorated for Autumn, on North Main Street in Gloversville. He has laid out leftover lambskin used to craft the gloves in the September issue of Vogue. The crystals used to embellish the gloves also are shown on the table, along with prints and a copy of the magazine. (The Leader-Herald/ Amanda May Metzger)
"She said, I'd like for you to create something special for the 120th anniversary,'" Storto said.
He noted Prada's heavily embellished fall collection was the inspiration for the Swarvoski crystals Vogue sent him for the gloves.
But Storto said he hadn't created beaded gloves before, and the challenge of making gloves for such a major anniversary for the magazine was both invigorating and a little frightening.
Article Links
"When clothes are this ornate, jewelry is strictly optional (note that even accessories seem accessorized)," reads the description for one of the photos featuring Storto's orange lambskin gloves beaded with black Swarvoski crystals.
In the spread titled "El Dorado," Tennant was photographed, wearing Storto's gloves, by Mario Testino for the shoot in Peru that highlights a "richly embellished wardrobe as luxe as the fabled treasures of the Incan empire," the magazine reads.
The process took three weeks as Storto fretted over where to place the crystals.
"I was very frustrated because I didn't like how they were sitting on the [cutouts]," he said.
Then Storto's son, Andre, a Gloversville middle school student, tossed the crystals over the leather and wherever they landed, Storto fastened them, letting the beads fall where they may.
The result is one white lambskin crystal-beaded pair and one orange-lambskin embellished pair. Each pair retails for $12,500. They are made to order.
The originals are kept with Vogue.
While Storto was hand-stitching and beading the pieces, he said many passersby were drawn to his shop and delighted to hear something from their hometown would be featured in an internationally distributed magazine.
"What I love about Anna Wintour and the rest of the editors, they know I'm not a brand. I'm a one-man band, and yet they support something like this," Storto said. "That's very encouraging for people to know that you don't have to be a huge conglomerate to get in Vogue."
Storto said he's received e-mails from people who live throughout the country who are interested in ordering a pair of the gloves from the Vogue spread, and some of them are interested in visiting Gloversville and seeing Storto's little shop at the Schine Building on North Main Street.
"It really opens up Gloversville. They Google it and read about [Gloversville's history]. That's what happens. It promotes Gloversville," Storto said.
Storto's gloves were also worn by Nicole Kidman in 2004 as she posed for the cover of Vogue in photographer Irving Penn's final cover shoot.
He made the belts for Duckie Brown's Spring 2013 Collection which showed last week in New York City.
According to Storto's blog, www.danielstorto.blogspot.comwhere his work is shown, he has worked with several designers including Geoffrey Beene, Alexander McQueen, Dries Van Noten, Thom Browne, Givenchy, Guy Laroche, Adeline Andre, J.Mendel, Oscar de la Renta, Duckie Brown, Derek Lam and Paul Smith.
His work is kept in permanent collections by the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan and The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
Storto was born in Toronto. Before moving to Gloversville about 10 years ago, he lived in places like Hollywood and New York City, though he says he has no intention of returning to a bigger city.
"How could I have a glove shop anywhere else? It wouldn't make any sense," he said.
Storto sells less expensive pieces made of varying fabrics and leathers out of his shop. He also sews and sells tote bags.
The Vogue October issue will replace the September issue this week.

While the rest of the country recently experienced a recession, the College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU-Boulder has been in a procession.
Over the past four years, our undergraduate enrollments have increased 11 percent, and our graduate enrollments have increased 34 percent. During this time, our undergraduate and graduate applications have increased 38 percent and 72 percent, respectively, allowing us to be more selective in our admissions decisions.
We also are growing in stature. This past fall, the National Research Council published its comprehensive, data-driven study of graduate programs. Our programs in aerospace, chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering ranked as high as the top 10 of all national programs in their respective disciplines.
Much of our success is based on our global vision for excellence. As you know, Engineers Without Borders-USA was founded within our college and now boasts about 300 chapters nationwide. Its vision for serving the developing world through engineering has recently been expanded with the formation of the Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities.
As another example of our global reach, I attended the first meeting of the new CU alumni chapter in Saudi Arabia, in January 2011. CU has over 400 alumni in Saudi Arabia, including many with degrees in engineering. Though the economy in Saudi Arabia is currently "fueled" by petroleum, the country's leaders are looking ahead to build new economic sectors, for which engineers will play key roles.
Our global vision for excellence includes becoming a college of choice for top international students, whether from Saudi Arabia, China, Mexico, Spain, or other countries where we are building partnerships. These students will enrich the experiences of our domestic students and help prepare them for careers that undoubtedly will include international components. At the same time, we are expanding international programs for our students, providing opportunities for them to study abroad or undertake internships in foreign countries.
I opened this message with mention of recession and procession. We have not been untouched by the recession. State funding of CU-Boulder has declined by 25 percent in the past two years, necessitating a modest reduction in our faculty and staff, as well as an increased tuition burden on our students and their families. And yet, we are proceeding with great hope and expectation, as we know that education—especially engineering education—is a great legacy for our future.
I am especially proud that our campus is proceeding with construction of a state-of-the-art biotechnology building for interdisciplinary research and education, using a combination of university, federal, and private funds. I am most grateful to our corporate and individual partners who have supported this and other projects in our college.

My Hall of Fame Ballot for 2013
Barry Bonds, Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Jack Morris, Lee Smith, Alan Trammell.
This ballot, as controversial as it is, wasn't very tough for me. I've always voted for the best players from their particular era and this year is no different. Using all 10 slots, I voted for the all-time home run leader, a pitcher with 354 wins, the Astro with 3,060 hits, the catcher with the most homers ever at that position, the outfielder who produced three 60-homer, plus seasons, the first baseman with 583 homers, the man who hit 569 homers and amassed 3,020 hits, the pitcher with the most wins in the American League during the 1980s, the reliever with 478 saves and one of the best AL shortstops for 20 years.
It contained some tough choices because I didn't have the room this year to vote for several guys I have in the past: Tim Raines, Fred McGriff and Edgar Martinez, who were also terrific players in their own right. I haven't voted for Jeff Bagwell, but there's little question he deserves a hard look.
Many good players, I fear, will now be neglected as more and more greats of the just past era will have exhausted their five-year waiting period to join the holdovers on the ballot.
Next year it will be even tougher with Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and Frank Thomas eligible for very serious if not obvious consideration. In my mind, they are all Hall of Famers. After that, John Smoltz, Trevor Hoffman, Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson are among others to join the group. They all should be elected on the first ballot.
A player only has to garner five percent of the vote each year to remain on the ballot for a maximum of 15 years. This is going to create a logjam on the ballot in the coming years as my colleagues in the Baseball Writers' Association of America individually determine who meets the Hall of Fame criteria and who doesn't.
In my mind there is no question. My 10 choices this year meet the criteria and should be in the Hall of Fame.
Nationals should honor retired Expos numbers
PHOENIX — The Nationals will be opening the doors to their Montreal
past next Tuesday night when they honor Andre Dawson before the game
against the Marlins in Washington. Dawson, who was inducted into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame on July 25, played his first 11 seasons
for the Expos, the franchise that moved to the nation's capital after
the 2004 season.
Dawson and fellow Hall of Famer Gary Carter will
be at Nationals Park next week. Tim Raines, who is managing the independent Minor League
Newark Bears, has also been invited.
It would be fitting if the
Nationals recognize their retired numbers. Before the team's demise
after 36 seasons in Quebec, the Expos retired three numbers representing
four of their key players: Rusty, The Hawk, The Kid and The Rock.
Rusty Staub and Dawson each wore No. 10, Carter wore No. 8 and Raines wore No. 30.
local rap artist named Annakin Slayd, who attended Expos games at Olympic Stadium as a kid
until the time the team left, produced an emotional video about the team's
history that's worth watching.
The Hawk, though, hasn't been told whether his number is being re-retired and the Nationals haven't been definitive. Like Carter before him, Dawson went into the Hall with the Expos logo engraved on his plaque.
the move, the Nationals have allowed other players to wear those numbers. It would be
like the Los Angeles Dodgers using the numbers of their retired Brooklyn
players or the San Francisco Giants disregarding the memories of their
New York era. That hasn't happened. Those retired numbers still stand.
It's time for the Nationals to put their retired Expos numbers in mothballs
with that period of franchise history, honoring Rusty, The Hawk, The Kid
and The Rock.

Instructions are allocated in the datasets in order of popularity. This means that the most popular and high-quality instructions are found in 9of11_knowhow_wikihow, while the least popular ones are in dataset 1of11_knowhow_wikihow. These instructions are also classified according to the hierarchy found in *wikiHow categories hierarchy*. wikiHow instructions are community generated. As a result of this, each task is described by at most one set of instructions, which is usually of high quality thanks to the collective community contributions. - Datasets *10of11_knowhow_snapguide* to *11of11_knowhow_snapguide* contain instructions from the [Snapguide](https://snapguide.com/) website. These instructions are not sorted by their popularity, but they are classified in one of the Snapguide categories. Snapguide instructions are created by single users. As a result of this there might be multiple sets of instructions to achieve the same task; however these instructions on average contain more noise as they are not peer-reviewed. Links datasets: - The *Process - Inputs* datasets contain detailed information about the inputs of the sets of instructions, including links to [DBpedia](http://wiki.dbpedia.org/) resources - The *Process - Outputs* datasets contains detailed information about the outputs of the sets of instructions, including links to [DBpedia](http://wiki.dbpedia.org/) resources - The *Process - Step Links* datasets contains links between different sets of instructions Other datasets: - The *wikiHow categories hierarchy* dataset contains information on how the various wikiHow categories are hierarchically structured, and how they relate to the Snapguide categories. - The *instruction set entities* dataset lists all the top-level entities in a sets of instructions. In other words, all the entities which correspond to the title of a set of instructions. - The *wikiHow community links* dataset lists the links manually created by the wikiHow community of users that interlink entities belonging to different sets of instructions. ## Data Model The [following figure](http://paolopareti.uk/prohow/PROHOW_DataModel_Example.pdf) is a simple example of how the [PROHOW](http://w3id.org/prohow#) vocabulary is used in the datasets. Instructions in the dataset can have more complex structures, for example instructions could have multiple methods, steps could have further sub-steps, and complex requirements could be decomposed into sub-requirements. ![example PROHOW data model](http://paolopareti.uk/prohow/PROHOW_DataModel_Example.jpg) ## SPARQL Queries Sample SPARQL queries are available [here](https://w3id.org/knowhow/queries). ## Sample SPARQL Endpoint A sample SPARQL endpoint is available at [Dydra](https://w3id.org/knowhow/sparql).

As a new parent, I pretty much do exactly what our pediatrician says. But on one point, I'm not following her advice, and it almost feels like I'm breaking the law. Can you relate?
When I was pregnant, I read an article about the AAP recommending that breastfed infants should be given a Vitamin D supplement beginning in the first two months of life, in order to prevent rickets. When the time came around, I asked the nurse at our ped's office about it, but she said the doctor didn't recommend it.
I got the supplement anyway, but when we went in for the six-month checkup last week, I didn't tell them. Why do I feel like I have to hide it?
Anyway, then I read a BBC news story stating that "women who take vitamin D supplements are 40% less likely to develop multiple sclerosis." This made me take notice, because MS runs in my family, and because we live in a northern climate. An article on WebMD quoted MS researcher Margherita Cantorna:
"It's pretty clear that when levels of vitamin D are too low, there's a greater tendency for cells that cause autoimmune problems to come out in those genetically susceptible people," Cantorna tells WebMD. "And it's pretty clear that taking supplemental vitamin D is a good idea. You're hard-pressed to get enough vitamin D solely from food or from sunlight in the winter."Yet another reason to make sure both Belle and I get plenty of vitamin D.
I think I'll 'fess up to the ped.

Salem County Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Pompper lifted the state of emergency at 3 p.m.
It has been enacted so authorities could enforce any strict rules for the safety of the public. However, it did not include travel bans.
"I just wanted to make sure we took care of all the issues," Pompper said on Wednesday.
The state of emergency was lifted because, although the cleanup efforts are still in progress, they do not need additional restrictions.
Most of the debris — trees, utility poles, and other remnants of the storm — has been cleared off the streets.
Pompper added that the damage to roads, bridges and trees from the storm was more severe than what resulted in the county from Hurricane Irene last August.
The strong line of storms, known as a derecho, struck in the early-morning hours of June 30 with severe winds that ripped down trees and power lines. Thousands were left without power.
A falling tree killed two young boys in Parvin State Park in Pittsgrove Township.
The public works departments at the municipal and county levels did a great job, Pompper said, and all critical issues have been addressed.
"Just about everybody has had their power restored," he said. "Everyone did an outstanding job."
Pompper explained that he knows the state of emergency tried the public's patience, but he is grateful for their understanding.
In correspondence with county and township officials, he expressed his appreciation to the agencies who responded to the emergencies from the storm.
"Salem County, its departments, and the municipalities again shined during the quick response to the storms," he wrote. "Public Works did an outstanding job clearing roadways of debris, Social Services ensured the safety of our functional needs folks, the health department ensured the safety of food, water and swimming facilities, and CERT, Red Cross, and the volunteer fire, EMS and OEM folks performed their usual great job at protecting the public during some very challenging events."

HIGHTSTOWN — The Peddie School football team rode a monster game from senior running back Rory Merklinger to an easy 42-13 home win over Mercersburg yesterday.
Merklinger consistently pounded away at an overmatched Mercersburg defense, seemingly able to rack up as many yards as he wanted on any given play. He finished with 185 yards on 24 carries with five touchdowns and a 2-point conversion, as the Falcons rolled to their second win of the season. Sophomore quarterback Dominic Borelli added a sixth touchdown for the Falcons, who will be home against Hun at 2 p.m. next Saturday.
Merklinger set the tone for the game on the Falcons' opening drive, carrying the ball five times for 34 yards, and capping an 11-play, 72-yard march with a 1-yard barreling touchdown. The extra point was good, and Peddie had a 7-0 lead with five minutes left in the opening period.
Senior defensive back Steve Hodgson set up the Falcons' second touchdown early in the second quarter, picking off a Mercersburg pass. Peddie took over at the Mercersburg 20, and, three plays later, Borelli went around the right end for a 7-yard touchdown 46 seconds into the quarter. The extra point was no good, and Peddie led 13-0.
Mercersburg then went three-and-out, and Peddie proceeded to go on another sustained drive, traveling 50 yards on eight plays. Merklinger finished it off with a 16-yard scamper off left tackle and added the 2-point conversion for good measure, opening up a 21-0 advantage.
However, Mercersburg refused to go quietly into the locker room, finally getting on the scoreboard with 1:21 left, as quarterback Matt Hirshman connected with receiver Reggie Fiumano on a 7-yard touchdown strike to close the gap to 14 points at the half.
The Mercersburg touchdown seemed to energize the Falcons, who went right back to dominating with their power running game in the third quarter. Merklinger switched from his normal No. 42 to No. 44 because of a torn jersey, but the player wearing the uniform was unchanged. He carried the ball five times for 53 yards on the opening possession, capped by a 16-yard run off left tackle that featured a couple of impressive cutback moves on the way to the end zone. The extra point was good, and the lead was 28-7 three minutes into the third.
Mercersburg fumbled the ball right back to Peddie at the Mercersburg 45. Merklinger, who simply was unstoppable at this point, broke off a 22-yard run, and two plays later went into the end zone from 14 yards out for his fourth score and a 35-7 lead.
The visitors continued to fight, though, getting back across the goal line on their next possession with a 16-yard scoring lob from Hirshman to running back Griffin Bosserman. The kick was missed, and the score was 35-13 with 5:41 remaining in the third.
Peddie came right back, however, and completed the scoring with a 70-yard drive that was aided by two 15-yard Mercersburg penalties. Merklinger — who else? — took the ball in from 27 yards out for his fifth and final score, completing his dominant performance.
