Gore Bike Wear Xenon 2.0 Lady Tights Women's Shorts $189.95
Make short work of long rides.
Gore Bike Wear has won a special place in our hearts because of their impressive engineering attention to even the most minute of details in nearly every garment they produce. Take the Xenon 2.0 Shorts, for example. If you prefer the convenience of a short, but demand the comfort and support of a dedicated bib, you'll appreciate that every aspect of this top-performing short has been re-evaluated to ensure your complete comfort on every ride you take it on.
Gore started with a high-gauge Lycra to maximize muscle support, before dividing the short into panels to create a sublime ergonomic fit. They even shifted all of the short's flatlock seams away from potential irritation or chafe points, so you'll never have to disrupt your rhythm while readjusting your shorts. The short's front panels are constructed with a nylon that is less elastic, so the portion of the short that holds the front of the Xenon Lady insert retains its support profile better. Gore opted not to use a silicone bead in its leg endings, but rather a wide, compressive band of nylon and Lycra to keep the hems confidently in place. And lastly, Gore constructed the inside saddle contact panels of the short from a more abrasion-resistant weave of nylon, ensuring the Xenon 2.0 is the short you reach for season after season.
Gore has fitted the Xenon 2.0 short with their excellent Xenon Lady insert, best taken along on long, hard rides. This three-dimensional chamois houses both foam and gel inserts to create multiple densities across its surface, ensuring you get consistent pressure distribution and relief where you need it most. The smooth and seamless, antimicrobial surface deftly wicks away moisture without irritating your skin, even after extended hours in the saddle.
The Gore Bike Wear Women's Xenon 2.0 Shorts are available in either Black, or White with Black accent. Both colors feature reflective logo hits and inserts on the back legs to help keep you visible if you're riding home after dusk. They are available in X-Small to XX-Large and feature an inseam measuring 23cm (9in).
- Abrasion-resistant panels at inside leg and seat areas ensure your shorts stay pristine for season after season
- Reflective logo hits on sides and back help keep you visible to motorists when riding after dusk
- Ergonomic fit
- Shifted seams for less irritation
- Abrasion-resistant panels inside leg and saddle area

Reviews & Community
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: xsmall
I ordered this item after reading some great reviews. Initially when I received it, I tried them on and felt like it fitted perfectly. But on my first ride, I began to feel too tight in my tights during motion. Chaimos seems to be good quality but it didn't feel comfortable on me at all. Overall seems to be good quality, just not a right fit for me.
Do these have ColdBlack or spf rating?
Great fit and quality
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
The chamois is stellar and excellent for multi hour rides. I like the longer length and compression. It's winter and have only worn them for 1/5-2h but they are incredibly comfortable and did I mention the great chamois! I'm 5.7.5", 135 lb and got a small on a recommendation from a friend who owns many pairs of these shorts. It's on the very edge of tightness that I will tolerate, but there is no uncomfortable gut and thigh squeeze so I suspect the small will allow them age well with dying a saggy, stretched out death.
Pretty good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: XS
I ordered these shorts for a long bikepacking tour. They were great at first, then they started to chafe me more than my other shorts and so I sent them home. Before using them every other day, I liked them for long rides. The padding footprint is nice and big if you have a wider saddle, and the first padding under the stillness is super supportive. I am 5'2"/ 123 lbs and wore the XS- I also have the XS in the Oxygen and like them even better. I typically wear a small in Pearl Izumi, so these may run bit small, but I like em tight.
"Silicone" Leg-Gripper Hem
Contrary to the description, the leg hems do indeed have a silicone beading, as you can see in the photo (the lettering and designs are the silicone 'beading'). It is quite comfortable, and no problem at all pulling them down for pit-stops! They stay exactly in place with no binding.
Sewn-in Chamois
Very comfortable; no sweat!
Product detail correction:
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The description states the chamois is removable...not so, it is sewed on, like most other tights/shorts.
Also, the legs do have silicone 'grippers', just configured a little differently (in the form of writing and graphics), same results: keep leg hems in place.
*Sorry I didn't notice this mis-information earlier for you, ladies.
Xenon Jacket, jersey,shorts & socks.
I ride solo most times, so I haven't been able to get a "action shot" yet...whatever, this will give you a idea of this how great the reflective elements look; and a great-looking 'kit' that will look even better on more athletic type bods!
(there are even more reflective elements on the back-side of the jacket, jersey, and shorts).
Great Visibility +
Here, the camera's flash shows the great reflective hits on this kit. There
s the same reflective details on the back of the Jacket, Jersey, and Shorts (the reflective design wraps around slightly to the back of the shorts). Gore really thought out cyclist' visibility with the Xenon line!
Great Performance, Period!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Just came back from a long, HOT ride (88f with very high humidity), and these were just perfect.
Material breathed excellently; waist and leg band hems stayed in place (no binding or shifting at all). On some shorts, even the Giordanas, the waist band often times slips down and I find I'm always adjusting and pulling them up (a smaller size won't work, not yet anyway).
No scratchy seams; which is one of the things about my Assos' shorts that bothers me.
And, best of all, the chamois is the best, if not a tad wide in the back. Have to say, it is more comfortable than my Giordana lasers. (I still have to change the saddle on my men's Trek Fuel EX 8; so any chamois that allows me to ride long distances without too much pain is a definite plus!). Great breathability in that dept., too.
For size: I usually size up (in Gore, a XXL), but I think I might have been able go with a XL in these (curvy, but working on it!) and will order a XL next time. So I would say they run *true-to-size.
I got these in the black/white version, and also the matching Xenon singlet jersey and Xenon jacket (and Xenon socks, from 'somewhere else)...very nice, and quite sharp, but...not for the muddy rides of course, but so 'cool' on a hot, dry summer day/cool evenings. Will definitely be getting the black shorts for the dirtier rides.
This is Gore's top tier lineup, and I defiantly recommend it (still, they need to refine the contour of their chamois a little better, but they are comfortable!).
Country of Origin:
Stamp on back of garment reads:
"Engineered in Germany...Made in China"
Will post any quality issues if they arise.
Hi Debbie, Do you use the same size in these as Assos? I would like to purchase a pair but being in NZ want to get the size correct
thanks for your time
Hi Fay, wish I was there! What interesting rides you must enjoy!
I am not petite, so in the Assos, I wear a 'XL', and it fits just fine. Now with Gore, I find I usually have to size up to a 'XXL'...I need room for bust/shoulders, and on the bottom-end, need to work on the waist-line.
I will be ordering another of these (and another singlet), but will be trying a 'XL' this time. These seem true-to-size, unlike many of their other offerings. If you're of a slim/athletic build, I'd recommend ordering your regular Assos size.
Of course, if you possible could, order one in your Assos size, and maybe one in a size-up; send back the one that doesn't work...
You might want to consider the jacket, too, while it's on sale, to complete your kit. Gore has women's Xenon socks, too!
I see they have re-introduced more of the Assos Lady Ellisse jersey in ALL the great graphic colors! I've the Adua & and the blue-fronted shorts...coolness!
Let us know how it all works out for you, and God Bless!
As good, or even better, than ASSOS
Great compression, very comfortable chamois. I have worn Assos for years and these are even better feeling, especially on long rides (I am a size M)
BETTER than Assos!...I've got to try these!
You know, I think you're right! I love them, and will be getting another pair (in solid blk.). I think they may be even more comfortable than the Giordana's! So long as the quality holds up, I've found a "new love"!
Too lLarge chamois for small sizes
The chamois was really big in these -- felt oversized. I wear an XS in all my bike shorts and with the chamois being very wide in this pair - made them feel baggie and large in the seat - had to send them back. For reference- Assos, Giordana Carbon, various Sugoi and Per Uz. over the years are others that I wear/have worn. May be great in larger sizes - the chamois would form to the larger seart area, and the style/look was nice - waist sat nice an low enough, flat, etc ... but not good fit in the smaller size.
I just got these, and love them; but I have to agree that the back part of the chamois is wide, maybe wider than it needs to be. And I am not small, unfortunately! But I love these otherwise. Also have Assos, Giordana, and L.G. (but L.G. not my favs). I have some Gore tights, and it's pretty much the same song: they need to work on the 'shape/fit' of their chamois. Hope they do it soon, for this coming winter and next summer season!

For the past eight months or so, I've been running a de facto virtualization test in the lab. I took a variety of lab boxes and internal servers, virtualized them on VMware vSphere 4.1, and ran them all on two physical servers. It may not seem impressive, but it indicates what's possible for small to medium-size corporate computing. And for those looking to consolidate, it's highly relevant.
These are not high-powered boxes. In fact, both servers fit into a single rack unit, using Tyan's YR190-B8228 side-by-side dual-socket server. Within that single rack unit, there are a total of four physical processors: two AMD 4162 EE CPUs with six cores apiece running at 1.7GHz, and two AMD 4170 HE CPUs in the other half of the box, with six cores each running at 2.1GHz. With 32GB of RAM in each side, that's enough horsepower for a surprising array of VMs and services.
[ Read Paul Venezia's virtualization shoot-out comparing products from Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat, and VMware. | See Matt Prigge's "VMware snapshots: The good and the bad." | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter. ]
The storage is a Synology RS3411RPxs: a 10-spindle SATA array with redundant power and multiple 1G and 10G links, though only the 1G interfaces are in use for this particular experiment. There's a QNAP TS-EC1279U-RP in play to address other tasks, but it also contains backups of the whole shebang, replicated every few hours.
Each physical server has two gigabit links to storage and a single gigabit link to the front-end network -- small potatoes indeed. However, the services running on this cluster handle an equivalent load to a moderately sized business (50 to 100 people). Naturally, this is an estimated workload, but these boxes get pushed hard during the day and continue on with various processes in the evening.
There are domain controllers, the vSphere vCenter server, internal mail servers, external mail relays, file servers, backup servers, application servers, database servers, and even a PBX server running Asterisk that handles all the phones, both analog and SIP. It's not tasked with highly transactional databases hit by thousands of queries a second, but it's a relatively busy little data center in a box. Well, three boxes -- including the switch, it takes up all of four rack units.
In looking at the statistics over time, it's clear there are no bottlenecks anywhere for the load past and present. During normal operation, the CPUs on each server hover around 10 to 15 percent utilization with spikes to 40 percent or so when one VM gets a little more action. RAM utilization averages out around 25 percent per box; if one unit fails, there's easily room for all those VMs to restart on the other side. VMware's DRS handles the load balancing, and HA handles any hardware failure event. In fact, the only thing that could be added might be more RAM if the VM count increases to any substantial degree.

The only wetsuit i've ever owned is a 3/2 Xcel infinity and i love it. i typically surf until early November and get back in the water around Memorial Day. I would like to buy a 2nd suit to extend my surf season and I'm looking for suggestions. I am thinking of a 4/3 or a 5/4, but am leaning towards a 5/4 since i don't know how much use i will get out of a 4/3.
I am thinking about the following suits in either 4/3 or 5/4:
Xcel Drylock
O'Neil Mutant or Psycho II
Rip Curl E-Bomb
P.S. I get cold fairly easily

Katy Perry talks beauty insecurities in 'Vogue' video
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
Katy Perry is taking fans inside the photo shoot of her new "Vogue" cover. On Monday, she tweeted a video of herself being done up by the fashion bible's make-up team. In it, she speaks about the many insecurities she still has about her looks.
Katy says covering up skin imperfections used to be much more of a problem for her, especially onstage with the "big lights and a lot of HD."
Her hair, she says, has been dyed black from her natural blonde since she was 15 when she chopped it off to look like Madonna in the "Who's That Girl" video."
Self-analyzing how she feels about her physical features, Katy says her eyes and brows are what frame her face. She adds that her lips and cheekbones are "alright, but they're no showoffs."
"Vogue's" July issue was the pop star's first time gracing the cover.

Standardized model results
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Laura Valadez

Dear Drs. Muthen,
I am running a measurement model with continuous and categorical indicators. However, the standardized results section is only providing the first column (only the estimate and not the SE, Est/SE, and pvalue). Why is this happening?
I deeply appreciate your help,
Best regards,
Laura Valadez

We do not give standard errors for standardized parameters with weighted least squares estimation when the model contains covariates.

Dear Linda,
Thank you very much, this is very helpful. A follow up question then, could I assume similar p-values for the standardized output based on the non-standardized results?
thanks again,
have a great day,
Linda K. Muthen

They will not be exactly the same but should be close.
posted on Saturday, March 03, 2012 - 2:33 am
Could you please tell me exactly how the standardised loadings are calculated for binary variables in a one-factor model in MPLUS? I'm basically running an IRT model with one factor and I understand the relationship between IRT discrimination and Item Factor Analysis loadings. However I'm less clear about how MPLUS standardises the loadings.
I remember reading somewhere that the standardised loadings are
= unstd. loading * SD(Theta) / SD(y)
However, I'm not sure where to get SD(y)in MPLUS or whether this formula is valid for binary indicators.I'm also getting different standardised estimates in other software which returns the same unstandardised estimates as MPLUS.
So basically I have two questions:
1) What is the full loading standardisation formula used by MPLUS for binary variables?
2) Where would one get all the figures used for the standardisation in the MPLUS output (assuming that these are contained in OUTPUT TECH10 and STDYX)?
Many thanks
Linda K. Muthen

1. See Techncical Appendix 3 on the website. The variance of an indicator is equal to lamba squared times the variance of the factor plus the residual variance of the factor indicator. The residual variance is one for probit and pi squared divided by 3 for logistic.
2. The factor loadings are found in the results. The factor variance can be found in the results for an unconditional model and TECH4 for a conditional model.
posted on Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - 1:06 am
Linda, thank you very much.
I have one last question. I'd like to construct an ICC residual plot (observed proportion correct for a given theta level by expected proportion correct or the ICC)
for non-technical audience who may not understand the chi-square margins.
How would you do this in Mplus? As far as I understand none of the plots produced in the output can do this, but there must be a way to extract both
observed and estimated proportions by theta for each item and then plot them in Excel or similar.
Many thanks
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - 12:11 pm
I think the best you can do is compare our ICC plot values for the estimated probabilities at different Theta values from the gph file with a plot of proportion correct related to estimated factor scores that you discretize into bins.

Men's Hoops Looks To Remain Atop Big Sky At Sac State
Related Links
Southern Utah's men's basketball team wraps up its first Big Sky Conference road trip on Monday when the Thunderbirds take on Sacramento State at 7:05 p.m. (PST) in the Hornets' Nest. SUU will be looking to build on a modest two-game winning streak to remain undefeated in Big Sky play and retain a share of first place.
For the second straight game SUU will be facing one of the Big Sky's top two scorers, as Sac State forward John Dickson averages 15.5 points per game, second only to NAU guard DeWayne Russell who leads the Sky with his 16.6 ppg average after scoring 18 against the Thunderbirds on Saturday.
SUU (5-7/3-0 Big Sky) is coming off its best shooting night of the season as the Thunderbirds hit 25-of-44 shots, including 7-of-13 3-pointers, Saturday in a 90-77 win at Northern Arizona. It was also the team's second-highest point output of the season and its highest against a Division I opponent as well as its first on the road. The win also gave the Thunderbirds back-to-back wins for the first time this season, as they downed Northern Colorado, 51-50, at home last Saturday night. SUU opened the Big Sky schedule with a 79-67 win over North Dakota on Dec. 17.
Sacramento State (6-5/1-2 Big Sky) is coming off a 57-50 loss at Northern Arizona last Thursday night. The Hornets, who had been off since Dec. 21 before the match-up with NAU, suffered their second straight defeat after a 61-60 home decision against Montana prior to the break. Sac State opened conference play with a 62-57 home win over Montana State. SAC is 4-2 at home this season.
The Games: Southern Utah (5-7/2-0) at Sacramento State (6-5/1-2), 7:05 p.m. (PST) in the Hornet's Nest (1,200).
The Series: Southern Utah holds an 13-6 advantage in the series with Sacramento State, including a 76-51 win the last time the teams met, during the 2008-09 season. SUU won the last meeting in Sacramento, 57-54, in the second game of the 2007-08 season. Although this is the first meeting between the two schools in Big Sky play, it will be the fifth conference match-up between the Thunderbirds and Hornets, who competed against each other in basketball in the American West Conference from 1994-1996. SUU went 3-1 against Sac State in the AWC and is 5-4 all-time versus the Hornets in Sacramento with a 7-2 record in Cedar City. The series began with an 85-78 Sac State win in Cedar City back in the 1986-87 season but the Thunderbirds went on to win the next eight match-ups between the two.
TV: There will be no live television for Monday's game.
Radio: All of Southern Utah men's basketball games are broadcast live by KSUU (91.1 FM) as well as on the internet at www.power91radio.com. Art Challis is in his 40th season as the Thunderbirds' basketball play-by-play voice. Dr. Challis - who also serves as the chair of SUU's Department of Communication - is joined on home and selected road broadcasts by former SUU standout and current SUU VP for University Relations Dean O'Driscoll.
On The Internet: Video web-streaming coverage of all of Southern Utah's home games and Big Sky road games is available on Big Sky TV, at www.bigskytv.org. Audio of all SUU games is available by logging on to the Thunderbird website at www.suutbirds.com or at www.power91radio.com.
Live Stats: Live stats of Southern Utah's home games are available on the SUU website at www.suutbirds.com. Real-time live stats of SUU's home games are available to working media, contact the athletic media relations office for access information.
Video Highlights: Video highlights of the Thunderbirds' home games is available to accredited media outlets via SUU's FTP site. For information on obtaining those highlights contact SUU Director of Athletic Media Relations Neil Gardner.
Practice Schedule: The practice schedule calls for the Thunderbirds to work out daily at 3:15 p.m. in the Centrum Arena.
Media Availability: Players and coaches will be available Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. unless travel schedules dictate otherwise.
Next Up: Following Monday's game the Thunderbirds will return home to host Weber State on Jan. 10 and Idaho State on Jan. 12.
Thunderbird Club Luncheons: The Thunderbird Club's weekly no-host luncheon is held Mondays at noon at the Cedar City Crystal Inn. The public is invited to attend the luncheons where Southern Utah's in-season coaches talk about their upcoming contests and review the past week's action.
Captains: This year's captains are seniors Jackson Stevenett and Tyson Koehler.
The Coaches:
Head Coach Nick Robinson (Stanford, 2005) is 5-7 in his first season at SUU and his first season as a head coach. Coach Robinson came to Southern Utah from LSU, where he spent three seasons on the staff. Prior to his time at LSU Robinson spent a season at William Jewell College and two seasons on the staff at his alma mater, Stanford. During his time as an assistant coach, Robinson helped guide his teams to a combined record of 87-47 and four post-season appearances, including two NCAA, one NIT and one NAIA Division I national tournaments.
Robinson is assisted by Jared Barrett (Eastern Oregon, 1996), Todd Okeson (Nevada, 2005) and Drew Allen (Southern Utah, 2010).
Sacramento State is coached by Brian Katz (Sacramento State, 1980). Coach Katz, who is in his fifth season at Sac State and his fifth season overall as a head coach, takes an overall record of 35-91 into Monday's game.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is in its first season as a member of the Big Sky Conference. All of SUU's sports except gymnastics and men's golf compete in the Big Sky. Gymnastics is an affiliate member of the WAC while men's golf competes in the American Sky Conference. Sacramento State is also a member of the Big Sky Conference.
The Schedule: The Thunderbirds have played nine non-conference games, three at home, four true road contests, and two neutral court match-ups. They have played two conference games at home and this will be the second BSC road game for the 'Birds. SUU opened at #21 Gonzaga, then played three games in three days at the World Vision Classic, meeting Green Bay, Cal State Fullerton and host Nevada before opening its home schedule against Carroll College. SUU also played non-conference games at TCU, at Denver, and at home against San Diego Christian and San Diego. The T-Birds played Big Sky home games on Dec. 17, against North Dakota and Dec. 29 against Northern Colorado before embarking on the current road trip. SUU has just one non-conference game remaining, a BracketBuster match-up at home on Feb. 23.
Last Time Out: SUU won its first road game of the year and its second straight overall in notching a 90-77 win over Northern Arizona. The Thunderbirds went on a 20-2 run in the first half to turn a 2-point deficit into a 27-11 edge with 10:56 to go, and although NAU got back within six several times the 'Jacks couldn't ever get closer than five the rest of the way. SUU got contributions up and down the lineup in its most impressive offensive outing of the season. Julian Scott, who hadn't played since suffering an injury against Carroll College back on Nov. 21, came off the bench to score 13 points and pull down four rebounds. He was one of four players to score in double figures, along with Damon Heuir's Big Sky season-high 30 points, Jackson Stevenett's 14 and Wade Collie's 10. SUU shot .568 from the floor and .538 from 3-point range, both season-high percentages, and knocked down 78.6 percent of its free throws, including 10-of-12 in the final 1:08 to clinch the win. The team attempted a season-high 42 free throws and hit a season-high 33 of them. Heuir hit a team-high 4-of-6 3-pointers and 14-of-16 free throws. The 14 made free throws are also the most in a single game in the Big Sky this season.
T-Birds In The National Ranks: SUU had two players ranked among the NCAA's top-50 heading into last week, and the team ranked in the top-50 in two categories as well. Jayson Cheesman ranks 26th in blocks per game with an average of 2.55 while Jackson Stevenett is 41st in free throw percentage at .872. As a team the Thunderbirds are 18th in the country with 5.6 blocks per game and are 49th in rebounding margin, at plus-6.5.
T-Birds In The Big Sky: Cheesman leads the Big Sky in blocks per game with 2.5 and Stevenett is third in the league in free throw percentage at .872. Stevenett is also sixth in scoring at 14.1 points per game and 11th in rebounding with 5.80, while Cheesman ranks 10th in rebounding with 5.82 rpg and in defensive rebounds with 4.3. Wade Collie is fifth in 3-point percentage at .429, Cal Hanks is ninth in blocks per game with 1.3 and Damon Heuir is 12th in scoring at 12.9 ppg. The team leads the BSC in rebounding margin (+6.5) and blocks (5.6 bpg) and is second in defensive rebounds (26.6 drpg).
Cleaning The Glass:
- The Thunderbirds were out-rebounded in their first three games of the season but have won the battle of the boards in the nine subsequent games after edging NAU 34-33.
- SUU has reeled in 40 or more caroms six times this season, already two more than last year's total of four 40-rebound games, including 45 against Northern Colorado, the second-highest total of the season.
- SUU pulled down a season-high 51 rebounds vs. San Diego Christian and followed that with a 43-board performance against San Diego and 42 more against North Dakota.
- Although they out-rebounded Denver the Thunderbirds finished with just 31 caroms against the Pioneers, SUU's lowest total since a season-low 28-board effort against Cal State Fullerton in the third game of the campaign.
Block Party:
- SUU averages a Big Sky-leading 5.6 blocks per game, which ranked 18th in the NCAA heading into the week. The Thunderbirds have rejected 38 shots in their last five games, including 12 against North Dakota, SUU's highest total since the team combined for 13 rejections against Panhandle State on Dec. 14, 2010 and the highest total in the Big Sky so far this season. The Thunderbirds combined to block 10 shots vs. San Diego.
- Jayson Cheesman didn't take much time to break into the SUU record books. In his first game as a Thunderbird the junior transfer from Salt Lake Community College blocked five shots, which tied the sixth-highest single-game blocks total in SUU history. With 28 total blocks this season Cheesman needs just two to move into 10th place in the SUU single-season blocks record book.
- Cal Hanks tied Cheesman in sixth place on that single-game list when he came off the bench to block five shots against North Dakota. Hanks had blocked 11 shots (of his total 14) in the three games prior to the Northern Colorado game, but he went without a rejection against the Bears.
- SUU tallied five blocks against Northern Colorado.
T-Bird Notes:
- SUU is the first team to win its first three Big Sky Conference games in its first season of play since Boise State started out 4-0 back in 1970-71.
- Jackson Stevenett's 29 points at Gonzaga was tied as the highest single-game point total in the Big Sky this season until Damon Heuir scored 30 at NAU. Stevenett's 11 field goals made against the Zags is the highest total in the conference so far this season, while his 11-of-15 shooting night (.733) ranks second-best in the Sky, behind Northern Colorado's Connor Osborne, who hit 8-of-9 shots against University of the Southwest.
- Heuir's 14 made free throws at NAU are the most in a game in the Big Sky this season while his 16 attempts are tied for the most.
- Jordan Johnson hit the first 3-pointer of the season and the second of his career at NAU.
- Northern Arizona hit just 3-of-17 3-pointers against the Thunderbirds, 17.6 percent. It was the lowest percentage and tied for the second-fewest long-range baskets by the Lumberjacks this season.
- SUU posted its first win of the season after trailing at the half, trailing in the last minute and when scoring fewer than 60 points when it came back for the 51-50 win over Northern Colorado. In that game the Thunderbirds also notched their first win when the opponent turned the ball over more (UNC had 18 turnovers to SUU's 14), when the opponent's bench outscored the 'Birds (14-8), in a game decided by seven or fewer points and when the opponent shot a better percentage from the floor (.380-to-.339).
- SUU had a season-high six players score in double figures against San Diego Christian. Stevenett led the way with 15, while Damon Heuir and Wade Collie each finished with 13. Jayson Cheesman finished with 12 points and both Jaren Jeffery and Jordan Johnson had 10. For Cheesman and Johnson the totals were career-highs while Collie's 13 were a season-high. Johnson was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor while Collie was 5-of-6 and Hanks, who finished with a then-career-high seven points, was 3-for-3 from the field as SUU finished with a season-best 55.9 field goal percentage.
- Stevenett has scored 872 points in his three-plus seasons at SUU. He needs 205 more to move into 10th place on the school's career scoring list.
- Cheesman pulled down 13 rebounds at TCU, the third-highest total in the Big Sky this season.
- SUU combined for a season-high 18 assists vs. SDCC. Freshman A.J. Hess came off the bench to lead the squad with a career-high five dimes vs. the Hawks, while Collie had four and all but two Thunderbirds who saw action dished out at least one.
T-Bird Trivia:
- SUU has nine lettermen, one squad member and one redshirt returning from last season's team that finished 8-10 (14-17 overall) and in sixth place in the Summit League.
- Five seniors, three juniors, three sophomores and four freshmen make up the 2012-13 Thunderbird squad.
- Senior Jackson Stevenett was a second-team all-Summit League honoree last season and he also earned a spot on the five-player Summit League all-tournament team.
- SUU advanced to the Summit League tournament as the number six seed last year, then upset third-seeded Oakland (84-82) in the tournament's first round before falling to eventual tourney champion South Dakota State (63-47) in the semi-finals.
- Nick Robinson is the eighth head men's basketball coach in SUU's 50-year history as a four-year institution.
- Nevada's World Vision Classic was the fourth in-season tournament for the Thunderbirds in as many years. Last year SUU competed at San Diego State's Basketball Travelers Classic, in 2010 SUU traveled to the Great Alaska Shootout and in 2009 the team was in Hawai'i for the Rainbow Classic.
- Southern Utah plays 14 home games this season, including 10 Big Sky Conference contests and one in the BracketBusters tournament. The 10 conference match-ups are the most ever in a season for SUU, a far cry from the four the team had in 1993-94 and 1994-95 when it was a member of the five-team American West Conference and there were just four home conference dates. The last several years SUU has played nine Summit League games per season in the Centrum.
- SUU's non-conference road games this season included contests at Gonzaga and vs. Nevada at the World Vision Classic, at TCU and at Denver.
- SUU and the University of North Dakota are in their first seasons in the Big Sky, making it an 11-team conference. The Thunderbirds had been members of the Summit League (nee. Mid-Continent Conference) for the past 15 seasons before joining the BSC. As members of the 10-team Summit League the Thunderbird men's basketball team qualified for the conference's eight-team post-season tournament 14 of 15 seasons, missing only in 2009-10 when the T-Birds finished ninth.
- Seven teams qualify for the Big Sky tournament, which will be hosted by the regular-season champion, March 14-16.
- SUU is in its 50th season as a four-year institution, its 25th at the NCAA Division I level. Prior to joining the NCAA Division I ranks the University spent two seasons at the Division II level and 23 as a member of the NAIA.
Scouting Sacramento State: The Hornets - who were tabbed to finish seventh in the BSC by the coaches and eighth by the media in the pre-season polls - have played six home games, the most in the Big Sky, along with Weber State and Montana State. Sac State has fared well at home, with four wins against two losses. The wins came against UC Merced (96-62), Cal State Bakersfield (85-67), Dominican (77-68) and Montana State (62-57), while the losses came at the hands of UC Davis (87-76) and Montana (61-60). Four Hornets carry double-figure scoring averages, led by John Dickson's (F, 6-6, 200, Sr) 15.5 points per game, which is second in the Big Sky. Mikh McKinney (G, 6-1, 165, So) checks in at 12.8 ppg, while Dylan Garrity (G, 6-2, 175, So) averages 12.6 ppg and Konner Veteto (C, 6-8, 290, Sr) is at 10.5. Veteto also leads the team with 6.6 rebounds per game, while Joe Eberhard averages 6.5 and Dickson 5.5 caroms per contest. Garrity is the team's top assists man, with 5.2 per game, which is second in the BSC. As a team the Hornets score at a 70.7 points per game clip on .415 shooting (.364 threes) while allowing an average of 68.2 ppg on .411 shooting (.310 threes). Sacramento State has been out-rebounded by a narrow margin, 38.0-to-37.0 per game, and has knocked down 72.9 percent of its free throws.

Yoshikazu Kawaguchi's Natural Farming Method 1ère partie
Yoshikazu Kawaguchi's Natural Farming Method
1ère partie
1ère partie
2ème partie
Hallo, splendid viewers, and welcome to Planet Earth: Our Loving Home. Today we will explore a wonderful method of natural farming from Japan.
Mr. Yoshikazu Kawaguchi (川口由一) has been practicing what he calls the "Natural Farming" method in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, Japan for 30 years.
This method is gentle to both the environment and our bodies, because it complements nature well. He developed this eco-friendly style of agriculture after falling ill from the chemical fertilizers he routinely applied to his crops. Mr. Kawaguchi also started the Akame Natural Farming School 19 years ago for those
who wished to be trained in Natural Farming.
Students can learn the systemthrough actual practice in rice fields. The Natural Farming method uses no fertilizers or chemicals, very little water and adheres to the philosophy that crops should be allowed to grow freely and thus human intervention is required only when absolutely necessary.
Let us now meet the wise Mr. Yoshikazu Kawaguchi.

If you're a bacon lover, I'm sure you've added the salty meat to the usual suspects: burgers, mac 'n' cheese, and scallops, but would you venture far enough to put bacon in your bourbon? What about in your brownies or doughnuts? I searched the Web for some of the most creative recipes I'm sure you haven't tried yet with bacon.
Check out the slide show and let us know if you have any additions to our list!
No one can resist a warm apple pie, but would you try one with bacon? SheKnows recently shared this recipe with smoked applewood bacon and maple syrup that we are dying whip up.
The creme de la creme of bacon brownies, Cream & Flutter sells these dark chocolate brownies with a pound of Skoglund bacon for the ultimate bacon lover's dessert.
Kitchen Konfidence took s'mores to a whole new level by adding these homemade marshmallows with candied bacon. How can you NOT resist trying this recipe?!
Bacon and goat cheese are a clever pair, so of course we love this pasta recipe from Framed Cooks with linguine and sugar snap peas. The creaminess of the cheese mixed with that crunch from the peas and bacon make for an exciting forkful for your taste buds.
If your drink of choice is a Bloody Mary, you might want to try this version we found over at Wine Country Cook with bacon infused bourbon. Top with some candied bacon for a sweet addition to your spicy Mary.
Hoosier Homemade takes cupcakes to a new level by whipping up a batch full of cheese and beer and topping it with bacon bits. It's the perfect salty, savory treat!
Whether you like your doughnuts baked or fried, cake or yeast, these red velvet bad boys will definitely make your bacon loving heart sing. Would you try this recipe from Doolius?
Candied bacon wrapped in pretzels sound good enough to eat! Creative Culinary adds some kick to her pretzel rods by adding a cayenne glaze made with chili powder, cayenne pepper and brown sugar. Yum!
Everyone loves a healthy handful of caramel corn, but why not spike it with some bacon. This homemade recipe from Food With Legs is made with the addition of peanuts and walnuts for a sweet, salty and crunchy combo.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- Corey Braun, the operator-owner of a Chick-fil-A near Foothill and Day Creek boulevards, provided dozens of free entree tickets to gay marriage supporters at a demonstration.
The fast-food chain came under fire from lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, or LGBT, groups last year after statements from the company's chief operating officer, Dan Cathy, voiced his opposition to same-sex marriage.
Braun said Cathy's statements don't coincide with the company's policy on service to its customers.
"There were a lot of things said over the past year," Braun said. "I wanted to show that Chick-fil-A doesn't discriminate against anybody. We serve everyone. We're happy to serve the community and this was an opportunity to have this group come in and show them our hospitality regardless of their beliefs, sexual orientation, or whatever. "
He added: "Chick-fil-A has never been about hate.
"I think things were taken out of context. The COO Dan Cathy was asked about his opinion on marriage and he just supports a biblical view of marriage."
The demonstration was held Monday evening at the northwest corner of Foothill and Day Creek near the Rancho Chick-fil-A.
Eden Anderson, a board member with the local LGBT rights group Equality Inland Empire, called Braun's appearance at the demonstration surreal.
Braun was able to convey his message to the crowd through a microphone and amplifier that was being used by speakers.
"The crowd was very accepting, of course," Anderson said. "We got quiet and we were listening, and with some skepticism. But really, what I experienced with the community, is when people are open and apologetic and accepting, it's touching to us. It feels like acceptance and we just want to be accepted and engaged in society, so when it's confirmed, I think the overall reaction was, yes, certainly that Chick-fil-A in Rancho Cucamonga is welcoming to us. "
Last year, hundreds lined up to eat at the Rancho Cucamonga Chick-fil-A and other local franchise locations on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. The day was in support of the restaurants after LGBT groups called for boycotts because of Cathy's statements.
Anderson said the LGBT community was surprised by the turnout last year "and how much it hurt. "
"A lot of them aren't just against marriage equality," Anderson said. "They believe gay people are a sin against nature and God and it felt like a display of disregard for our humanity. "
Braun has been the operator of the Rancho Cucamonga Chick-fil-A for five years and does not operate any other franchises.

New York Man's Death From Police Chokehold Ruled Homicide
(New York, NY) -- A New York man's death is being ruled a homicide after he was placed in a chokehold by an NYPD officer. A medical examiner said today that Eric Garner died of compression to the neck and chest. Contributing factors were chronic bronchial asthma, obesity and cardiovascular disease. Police confronted the 43-year-old father of six in July for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes on Staten Island. The Reverend Al Sharpton is among those calling for federal prosecution. NYPD officers have been barred from using chokeholds on suspects for years.
Video of the July 17th incident shows police putting Garner in a chokehold followed by him saying "I can't breathe." Garner's death has sparked outrage throughout the city and led to a roundtable discussion yesterday with the Reverend Al Sharpton, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on improving police and community relations. The main officers and EMTs involved in the incident have all been reassigned as the probe continues.

WHAT: The evergreen climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea integrifolia) is a graceful clinging vine with year-round interest.
Stout new growth emerges with bronze tones that contrast nicely with the older, deep green foliage.
WHY PLANT IT: Although this vine can be slow to reach blooming age, it is well worth the wait. In early summer, huge rounded flower buds open to an attractive lacy, white bloom reminiscent of the familiar shrubby, lacecap hydrangeas.
It is a vigorous vine and is excellent for covering unsightly retaining walls and harsh rockeries. The side branches reach out from the main trunks, creating a layered and graceful three-dimensional effect.
WHERE: It is striking when grown up tall evergreen trees. This native of Taiwan and the Philippines is one of the few vines that blooms well in shade.
It also can be used on a north-facing wall or fence. and grows well in full sun to dappled shade with well-drained to sandy soil.
Provide regular water for the best growth and flowering.
SIZE: The evergreen climbing hydrangea will eventually become a large plant, 40 feet high by 20 feet wide, so it needs space.
The vine is often slow to settle in, and it can take two to three years before it begins to grow vigorously. It is also slow to start blooming: Five to seven years may pass before it produces its first bloom.

SoCal Wildfire Update
With both fires more than three-quarters contained, firefighters were hoping to douse them quickly before strong, gusty winds were expected to kick up Thursday.
A 200-acre fire in the Cajon Pass east of Los Angeles was 80 percent contained and was expected to be fully surrounded by Thursday evening, said Carol Underhill, fire information spokeswoman for the San Bernardino Mountains.
"Everything is looking pretty good here," Underhill said. "But they are still dealing with a lot of wind in the afternoons so they want to get this thing buttoned up as quickly as they can."
The fire has not grown since it erupted Tuesday in the Sycamore Flats area at the base of the pass near Interstate 15.
About 30 rural homes were evacuated at the height of the blaze but residents were allowed to return late that night.
About 100 firefighters were still working the fire, aware that the National Weather Service forecast winds of 25 mph to 35 mph, with gusts up to 65 mph in places, for Thursday.
Closer to Los Angeles, a 268-acre blaze near the foothill community of Azusa was 90 percent contained, with full containment expected Friday.
The fire in the San Gabriel Mountains was reduced to hotspots and no homes were threatened, fire spokesman Nathan Judy said.
Drizzle was reported early Thursday in the region and temperatures dropped significantly.
"We didn't get the erratic winds that make ... the fire pick up," he said.
Hundreds of firefighters fought both blazes at their peak, aided by Super Scoopers and other water-dropping aircraft.
Three firefighters suffered minor injuries battling the San Gabriel Mountains blaze.
The causes of both fires remained under investigation.

I read through a couple of those google results, as I had the same issue and was kind of curious what was suggested.
Alternately I just deleted the entry vga=317 all together. I run my usb multiboot from my netbook and desktop, and have had no resolution problems since. I've booted it up on 2 other laptops without issue aswell. It seems to detect the proper resolution to use just fine on its own.
What I did was open the grub menu (/boot/grub/menu.lst), Then added "defoptions=vga=0x315" to the appropriate section.
Where is used "defoptions=vga=0x315", what does it mean?
I didn't get what is my probem.

Jimmy Wallhead and Andre Winner were in attendance at Made 4 The Cage 5 in Sunderland at the weekend, and co-owner Steve Scott sat down to talk to the pair about their plans, the show and what's coming up.
Wallhead talks about being denied the title shot he was promised after beating Frank Trigg when Tom Watson refused to fight him:
Check out the video here:"I was supposed to be fighting Tom "Kong" Watson in three weeks if he wasn't such a pussy and took the fight, Unfortunately I'm not fighting on March 24th, Tom refused to fight me."
The pair also talk about the show, and possibly a Midlands collaboration coming up.

The 11 Most Pivotal Kisses in History
Five years ago, we profiled fifty-one American men — one from each state and Washington, D. C. — who were all twenty-five. We were trying to understand what it was like to be an "emerging adult," as we wrote then, in an era when "twenty-five-year-old men aren't necessarily men at all." A few of our guys were married, but the majority were still having fun and figuring out their lives. They bartended and delivered pizza, stayed up late and woke up later.
Today these men are thirty. We managed to track down and interview about forty of them. Aside from a few haircuts and added pounds, they look very similar. But their lives have changed. More than a quarter are settled down with kids, even Jason Ewell, who told us five years ago that he never wanted to "grow up" and stop partying. Some lost their jobs during the recession, like Ricky Brule, who was promoted and relocated twice by the same company — then laid off. Others went back to school. And then there are those whose lives took more tragic turns.
Perhaps most telling is that nearly 70 percent are more optimistic about their futures than they were at twenty-five. This isn't because they have achieved all their goals — far from it. Maybe it's because they better understand their own abilities and limitations and potential. Maybe it's because they've "emerged." They're thirty.
"Society is quickly learning not to expect any particular things from a person my age. There is no longer any strict path to success. A person at my age merely needs the ingenuity and determination to make a difference."

I have seen the final edition of backtrack 4, downloaded it, and I'm installing it (right now) again on a 16 GB Sandisk pendrive.
I am trying it now with 2.5G of swap space, because when I try to give swap 512MB memory, my USB works very slow.
I want to do a course the next 4 years in Holland, named Forensic IT. (translated).
I was wondering if you could give me advice how I can prepare on it using backtrack. (would that be usefull for me?)
I am using ubuntu-linux since a year, before that always Windows. So I don't know everyting about the linux commands yet.
Can you give me advise how I can teach myself the backtrack things.. ( I mean Backtrack==> information ghatering, network mapping etc. etc.) on the best?
p.s I'm sorry for my bad english

Linux is Linux... BT4 is ubuntu based if I'm not mistaken so all your commands you use in ubuntu in theory should work on Backtrack. If you are taking an Intro course to forensics then they will probably go over some (if any) of the tools that are in Backtrack. I personally have taken 3 (on my 4th) Computer/Digital Forensics course at college. For a true forensic purpose, you do not want to use Backtrack because it is a penetration testing distro. Use something like Helix 3 for forensics. Although BT4 has a forensics mode, Helix is verified in the court systems. Helix is also Ubuntu based.
Discussion of this at the following links.

Agreed about the Offsec training - its great.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
@ Snarp & Mr. Protocol
I'm sure that the course from Off.Sec. is great.. But I'm still a student, so I want to learn everyting so cheap as possible (if possible for free). I think that I would follow such training when I'm a little richer.
For quickly setup a test labo to play around with BT4 you can give a try to the MUTILLIDAE package; you can find it at Irongeek.com
irongeek seems good.
I'll download the video's and will study on them. I hope it helps.
Thanks for your replys
Archangel.Amael wrote a good thread ==> http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad-thread.html
I think that following this instructions, will help a lot. Does it really take 10 years to teach yourself programming? To become a good hacker?

hi guys,
i started a tivo skin for xbmc, but was trying something that i have no experience in - skinning for xbmc. unfortunate for me, i developed it in 720x576 - woops. lucky for me, it will crop to 720x480 without losing much of the graphics.
if anybody is interested in taking the .psd file from me and continuing, please let me know. the layers are kind of messy, so i'll be sure and make them organized when i send whomever the file.

here is a question, is it possible to change the way the navigation keys work in xbmc via skinning? a tivo skin would much more useful if the navigation would work the way it does on tivo. personally i would much rather have tivo navigation instead of tivo looks (though both would be nice, of course) tivo allows access to about 90% of the functionality via a very simple navigation using only 4 arrow keys(forward button doubles as select)

you could make the right button select on the home window only for a start, which would give you the navigation you want on the home page i think.
as for the scaling to 720x480, xbmc will auto-scale it for you if you set the <defaultresolution> tag to pal and don't bother making an ntsc directory. the only thing that won't scale is fonts, but they probably won't matter much on ntsc vs pal (as width is the major issue with fonts).
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Visiting professor from China to give lecture May 4
Dr. Gao Chunchang will present a lecture, "Slave Religion in Colonial North America from an Atlantic Perspective," at noon May 4 in Gambrell Hall, Room 431.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will include a light lunch. A discussion on the teaching of American history in China will follow.
Gao is the first visiting professor for the University's Institute of African American Research (IAAR), located within the Department of History.
In his native China, Gao is a professor in the Department of History and Society at Ludong University, and he is director of its Center for American Studies. He received a competitive grant from the Chinese government to conduct research in his field. He chose to come to the University of South Carolina because of the Department of History's faculty expertise and available resources in his research field. He arrived in February and will continue his work with the IAAR through August.
Gao specializes in African American history, and his publications include The Disenchantment of the World: The Religious Spirit of the West (Jiangxi People's Publisher, Nanchang, 2009), African Americans in the Reconstruction Era (Garland Publishing, New York, 2000), and numerous articles concerning North American slavery.
While in the United States, Gao is conducting research for his newest project entitled The World that Visions Created: Herbs, Hallucination, and Slave Sorcery in the American South, which has developed from his article "Slave Religion in Colonial North America from an Atlantic Perspective: A Cultural Syncretism" published in Historical Studies, China's most prestigious historical journal. He also will explore slave sorcery, the methods slaves employed to create trances and hallucinations, and the uses of these as spiritual experiences through the availability of primary sources not available in China.
His lecture is co-sponsored by the IAAR, the Department of History, and the Walker Institute for International and Area Studies.

Hi Guys,
Im looking to build a small pen lab just to practice at home, what would be the best way of doing this, I've heard you can either set up VM's on a computer and use that and the second way is to have 2 computers one is the victim the other the attacker.
which ways do you guys work and which way do you think would be best for me.
I currently have an imac, but im looking to get a laptop soon.
Should i run 2 VMs 1)backtrack and 2) windows7?
or should get a laptop(which i should be getting anyway) and buy a cheap PC?
Also my concern with running 2 VMS how do i get them to connect to each other so i can try stuff like metasploit?
any help will be much appreciated!
Thank You,

These men weren't your stereotypical moonshiners.
There were no banjos or television contract to be had.
Sandy police said they discovered the illegal operation while serving a search warrant for narcotics. While they found methamphetamine, they also discovered the two male residents were manufacturing hard liquor in the basement of a home on South Trail Ridge (2120 East), said Sandy police Sgt. Jon Arnold on Thursday.
The operation was complete with a still that fed into a jug, police said. The jug was then emptied into a keg upstairs.
Authorities joked that Tuesday's bust probably marked the first still that's been confiscated in Utah since prohibition was lifted in the 1930s.
Police said the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control was looking at filing charges against the men because both federal and state law requires a license to make hard liquor.
It is, however, legal for an individual over 21 to manufacture up to 100 gallons of beer or wine a year in Utah without a license.
