In this post you can find all the updates and fixes that we made in FrameMaker (2015 release), Update 4.
User Interface Enhancements
Organized List of Items in the Format Menu
Earlier when you clicked
Format > Fonts (Characters or Paragraphs), FrameMaker showed you a list of fonts installed on your system in a multi-column layout. If you had a long list of fonts on your system, the list would cover up the whole FrameMaker user interface. Now, when you click
Format > Fonts (Characters or Paragraphs), FrameMaker organizes the list of items in a single column. If the list is long, you can use the up and down scroll icons to quickly traverse the list of items.
Adobe Experience Manager Connector Enhancements
New Review Comments Pod to Track and Manage Review Comments
You can now sync, view and reply to review comments received on a DITA Topic using the new Review Comments pod in FrameMaker. An author initiates a review task for a single topic or multiple topics from the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) interface. Multiple reviewers can review the Topics and provide review comments. They can also view comments given by other reviewers in real-time and post replies.
You can open the new review pod in
> View > Pods > Review Comments...
Support for HTTPS
You can now use HTTPS to establish a connection between FrameMaker and AEM.
Integrated Search with XML Documentation Add-on for AEM
FrameMaker's repository search is now seamlessly integrated with Adobe Experience Manager. If you use the repository search feature in FrameMaker, the search is performed in the DITA content within the AEM repository. For this feature to work, your Adobe Experience Manager server must have the XML Documentation Add-on installed.
New Adobe Experience Manager Options in the Preferences Dialog
The Preferences dialog box is updated to include configurable options for Adobe Experience Manager connector. You can use these options to set up file check-in and check-out preferences for AEM. Additionally, multiple usability enhancements are made in Connection Manager dialog and the repository manager window.

Boston — For 18 mid-size club companies, the third quarter of 2007 was a time of financial growth, according to a survey of health and sports club companies conducted by Industry Insights for the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA). The companies collectively grew their revenue an average of 18.1 percent to $16.6 million in revenue for the third quarter.
The 18 companies represent 194 facilities, an average of 11 clubs per company.
The companies also reported improved same-store revenue for clubs that have been in operation for at least two years. The same-store revenue increased by an average of 5.4 percent to $7 million.
On a per club analysis, the club owners grew their total revenue an average of 5.2 percent to $1.6 million. Nearly 70 percent of the total revenue was fueled by membership dues revenue, which totaled $1.1 million and grew 4 percent since the third quarter of 2006. Non-dues revenue, which totaled $540,000, grew 7.8 percent over the same period last year.
"We are pleased to report that these leading health clubs consistently grew membership and non-dues revenues while holding gross margins at 29 percent for the third quarter," says Joe Moore, IHRSA's president and CEO.
IHRSA had noted the same growth pattern for the first three quarters of 2007, says Katie Rollauer, IHRSA senior manager of research.
"We anticipate a positive outlook for the year end due to a historical increase in membership sales, which typically occurs late in the fourth quarter," says Rollauer.
IHRSA did not name the companies that were surveyed.

Moyes, whose £4million-a-year contract at Goodison Park expires at the end of the season, was in London on Wednesday evening to discuss his departure from Everton with the club chairman Bill Kenwright.
But with United confirming on Wednesday morning that Ferguson will end his 27-year reign as manager following the Premier League fixture against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on May 19, Moyes' arrival at Old Trafford is understood to be a formality, with the champions hoping to conclude negotiations on Thursday.
Despite long-term speculation linking Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho with the United job, the Portuguese was not considered by the club's American owners, the Glazer family.
Ferguson informed them in late February that this season would be his last. Neither United chief executive David Gill nor the Glazers tried to change his mind.
The Glazers and Gill sought Ferguson's advice on the man best suited to succeed him and he nominated Moyes. Senior figures at the club confirmed that the 71-year-old's contribution was fundamental to the decision to pursue Moyes.
Although Moyes's lack of Champions League experience has been raised as a potential handicap to his ability to build on Ferguson's legacy of two European Cups, United are confident that the 50-year-old will thrive among Europe's elite.
Leading figures in the game, including Ferguson, have made it clear to Gill and the Glazers that Moyes' tactical acumen is the equal of Europe's leading coaches.
His commitment to building teams and his longevity at Everton have also been cited as crucial factors in United's decision to recruit him.
Ferguson and Moyes have formed a strong relationship since the then-Preston North End manager rejected the opportunity to become Ferguson's assistant in 1999.
Their shared principles have created a sense within United that they have hired a man who bears a close resemblance to the 44-year-old enticed from Aberdeen as Ron Atkinson's successor in November 1986.
Ferguson is understood to believe that the time is right to leave the club because United have reasserted their dominance both locally and nationally. United sources denied that the hip surgery later he has planned for the summer influenced the retirement decision.
"The decision is one that I have thought a great deal about and that I have not taken lightly," Ferguson said. "It is the right time. It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so.
"The quality of this league-winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one.
"I am delighted to take on the roles of both director and ambassador for the club. With these activities, along with my many other interests, I am looking forward to the future.
"In my early years, the backing of the board, and Sir Bobby Charlton in particular, gave me the confidence and time to build a football club, rather than just a football team."
Although Ferguson has accepted the role of non-executive director, he will not have an office at Old Trafford or Carrington, with his retirement described by sources as a "clean break". That will spare Moyes the prospect of his predecessor retaining a presence similar to Sir Matt Busby's following his retirement in 1969.
Martin Edwards, the chairman who appointed Ferguson as manager in 1986, insists he will not present a distraction for Moyes.
"Alex is aware of what happened when Sir Matt stepped down," Edwards said. "Any new manager would be happy to have him in the background and imparting his knowledge to them. I don't see the problem arising again."
Charlton, who has worked closely with Ferguson, echoed those comments. "Alex Ferguson doesn't work like that," Charlton said. "He won't interfere. It would be to the detriment of the club. He's famed for his decision-making and this will just be another decision."
Former United captain Gary Neville, whose brother Phil has spent eight years working under Moyes at Everton, believes he will be an ideal successor to Ferguson. "I would welcome it and it makes sense in some ways," Neville said.
"They [United] want someone to respect the tradition and history of the club and somebody who is there for the long-term. This is not a club that will go for quick fixes. I see the appointment as a result for sanity in football."
Moyes' in-tray: The key issues facing Moyes at Old Trafford
Wayne Rooney
Moyes set Rooney on the path to stardom at Everton and, although their fractious relationship has been repaired, he must decide whether to sell the 27-year-old this summer.
Deal with Fergie
Sir Matt Busby cast a long shadow on his successors. Ferguson will not have an office at Carrington or Old Trafford, but Moyes will have to ensure that he is the boss.
Rio Ferdinand was shocked by United's global stature when he arrived in 2002 – now the club are much bigger. Moyes must cope with this during their Far East summer tour.
The dressing room
Moyes has produced top-eight teams, but failed to win silverware. He will encounter players with medals galore, so he must convince them that he can deliver further success.
Moyes will want signings to freshen Ferguson's squad. Everton's Leighton Baines is an obvious target and United's midfield could use a dominant figure like Marouane Fellaini.

The 3 Point Commitment
Hi! I'm Mari Farthing and I'm a mother, wife and freelance writer and editor living in Moore. Originally from Wisconsin and formerly the editor of MetroFamily, my husband Tony and I made our home in Oklahoma via orders from the USAF after spending years living in Germany and Washington DC. When Tony retired from active duty in 2011, we became official "Oklahomies." I'm a former multitasker and current work-at-home mom, which sometimes is an exercise in futility. I am interested in books, music, knitting, running, cooking, laughing and writing and occasionally I get bored and add a few more interests to fill up the final 15 minutes of my day.
I sometimes succeed, sometimes fail, and consistently rewrite the to-do list that manages my day.

Plus: a Snapchat primer |
May 06, 2016
I'm not a huge fan of Mother's Day. Kids should not be forced by custom nor greeting card companies to tell mothers they love them. I have relented a little over the years, however. I have a dyslexic kid and one year he wrote me a perfect card with gorgeous penmanship and no spelling errors. I was overwhelmed: "Yeah, our teacher told us you would probably cry," he said. And I enjoyed doing this Mother's Day quiz, from which you can figure out how much time you spend on various motherly activities in any given year. If nothing else, it explains where the time went. TIME
Of course, nobody is actually calculating what it costs to raise kids in dollars. But if you were, and you did want to tell your kids why they couldn't get a raise in their allowance, then this little piece of accounting from Money might be a useful tool.
In case you missed it, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg wrote a heartfelt post about how things have changed since she became a single mom. "I will never experience and understand all of the challenges most single moms face," she writes, "but I understand a lot more than I did a year ago." Facebook
"Today, the national average annual cost of child care for an infant and a 4-year-old combined is $17,852 ," says a new report. That's expensive for anyone, but completely out of the reach of low income parents. "Child care assistance should, in theory, help working parents better balance the demands of work and family," writes the author, Judith Warner. "But for many parents, trying to access child care assistance only increases their daily burden of worry and frustration. When our leaders do not invest in child care to support working families, many low-income parents are essentially set up to fail." Read the full report here: Center for American Progress
The 2-minute warning, that cherished parenting institution, might be making things worse, at least when it's applied to kids' screen time, according to this interesting new study. TIME
When we bought our daughter proper running shoes at a proper running-shoe store, where the folks know what they're doing, the guy who sold them said the next few years in our 11-year-old daughter's life would be make or break time for running. I bristled at the time, but he might have been right; a lot of girls give up sports when puberty hits. Now a new report suggests that it might have to do with self-consciousness about the chestal area. New York Times.
Find something on your kid's phone that makes you wince? You're not alone. There are so many parents who have experienced this that we got an expert from the Child Mind institute to weigh in on what to do when your kid has used his or her digital communication device to make mischief. TIME
The U.S. is making exactly zero progress in battling childhood obesity, according to this new research paper. "Our study suggests that more than 4.5 million children and adolescents in the U.S. have severe obesity," said Dr. Asheley Skinner, the paper's lead author. Obesity.
A father injects his son with HIV-infected blood. It sounds like the beginning of a really sad story. But actually, the kid survived, even thrived. If you need to read a refresher on the resilience of kids, their ability to overcome the lousy hand they have been dealt, this is a good one. GQ
What if a parent who yearned for a child met a kid who had an imaginary friend nobody could see? In the slightly dark mind of these Dutch animators, there could be some crossover potential there. This short film (which, although animated, is not for kids) blends the quirky world of childhood make-believe with the magical thinking that sometimes accompanies a loss like infertility. The New Yorker.
What do new moms of the current age look like? How are they different from the new moms of yore? What habits and attitudes are common among this group? What will anthropologists note, when the history of this era of early motherhood is recorded? I have two words that will answer all these questions: Chrissy Teigen. TIME
If your child isn't on Snapchat, he or she probably will be. It's one of the most popular apps for teens and tweens and the fastest growing of all the social networks. Why do they like it? Snapchat basically offers a Mission Impossible messaging system: any photo or video sent over the popular mobile app will self-destruct within a few moments of viewing.
For parents, this can be a relief: it means that whatever crazy thing your kid is up to now won't live forever on the Internet.
On the other hand, it creates a whole realm of communication for kids that is virtually impossible for parents to monitor.
So how can parents have start good conversations with kids about how to stay safe on Snapchat – and beyond?
At any age, says Donna Rice-Hughes, president and CEO of the internet safety organization Enough is Enough, parents need to help kids understand that the digital world is very much like the real one: it has lots of good places and people—but also bad ones. Problems in the digital world arise, Rice-Hughes says, because we don't have "healthy boundaries instinctively in the digital world."
So from elementary age, Rice-Hughes says, parents need to help kids set healthy digital boundaries. Today's elementary students were born into a world in which "the internet has become an extension of our physical lives." So one of the most important things to get across to them, says Rice-Hughes, is that "the internet has not always been here. We can live without it." She encourages parents to encourage kids to unplug regularly, and to begin to use parental controls on all technology when they're young, so that when kids are older, parental involvement in technology use—like Snapchat—just feels like a part of normal life.
Middle school is the age at which most kids are legally allowed to join services like Snapchat, which has an age limit of 13, along with many other popular apps, like Facebook and Instagram. But on Snapchat, Rice-Hughes points out, that age limit isn't verified, which means younger kids can easily lie and join. So even before 13, parents need to be diligent about monitoring what apps kids are using. Rice-Hughes suggests that parents have the devices set up to get approval on all apps that children are using, which can be a good time to start conversations about why kids want to use an app and what they plan to do with it—and to investigate security and privacy settings for each app together with kids.
High school students may be less inclined to talk with parents about their own lives. And it's also important for parents to respect their privacy. So it's a good age, Rice-Hughes says, for parents to start asking what kids see their friends doing on sites like Snapchat—and what they think about that. Those conversations can help kids form opinions about what they do and don't want to do—and about what might not be safe. For Snapchat in particular, Rice-Hughes says, it's important for parents to get the message across that "Nothing's really private," especially in a world of screengrabs and reshares. "Anything that is shared can always be reshared."
It's also crucial, Rice-Hughes says, for parents to realize they can't just "have that Internet safety conversation once," because today's kids are always online, and always finding new opportunities—for good or ill. So conversations with kids about their digital lives should start early, and continue on a weekly or even daily basis.
And despite the daunting complexity of the digital world, Rice-Hughes' advice on how to be "a good cyber parent" is simple: "extend all their parenting skills to the online world."—by Carey Wallace
Ali Wentworth, writer, actress, comedian and mother, writing to her two kids:
"... as you chart the very confusing waters of what you want your life to be, remember that you can do and be whatever you wish. I'm not pushing you to be President or asking you to conquer the world. But inventing an anti-wrinkle cream that actually works would really make me really proud!"
—From Letters From Mom, a series of prominent women's letters to their children on Mother's Day

My pal Annalee Newitz over at io9 asked me to come on her show "We Come From the Future" and talk about how Mars is treated in movies. The program aired on Friday, and is up on YouTube:
That was a lot of fun! I tried to think of a movie where Mars is actually depicted correctly as it is now: low gravity, cold, almost no air. I couldn't think of a single movie where that happens. I went on Twitter and asked the folks who follow me what they thought, and got lots of suggestions. Unfortunately, no movie suggested that I had seen was entirely accurate.
"Mission to Mars" was close, but they had a dust devil pick up astronauts and even tear one in half. Granted, it's implied that was an outcome of alien tech, but dust devils on Mars simply aren't that strong. Also, that movie got so much science wrong I don't really feel like cutting it much slack.
Most other movies forgo showing Mars's 0.38 Earth gravity due to the difficulty in portraying it well. Some, like "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" - which I loved as a kid - gives Mars enough air to breathe if you take oxygen supplements. I'll note that I also just saw "John Carter" and actually quite liked it. I knew it was epic, sweeping fantasy going in, so I was able to not worry too much about the scientific booboos.
Doctor Who has had several episodes take place on Mars including the recent "Waters of Mars". That too was close - the Doctor was in a spacesuit - but gravity was clearly Earth-normal. Sigh.
A lot of people suggested "Watchmen", but only a few minutes were on Mars, and the gravity was unclear. Also, I suspect that Dr. Manhattan could've manipulated the gravity, so it doesn't really count.
At the end of the show, Annalee challenged HBO to make a good Mars series. The obvious place to start is Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars trilogy. And unlike Game of Thrones, they wouldn't have to wait for more books to be written!
Post Script: I've reviewed the science in lots of movies, including a few dealing with Mars. Here are my reviews of Red Planet and Mission to Mars.

Fox & Friends Suggests Chanting "Allahu Akbar" Shows Refugees May Be Terrorists
Blog ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
Fox & Friends' coverage of the refugee crisis focused on whether the migrants might be terrorists because they're predominantly Muslim and may have chanted "Allahu Akbar."
Thousands of men, women, and children are increasingly fleeing Iraq to escape violence from the Islamic State, joining more than four million migrants who have left Syria since the start of its civil war. The ensuing global humanitarian crisis is now being called the worst migration crisis since World War II, according to the United Nations. Yet on Fox News, the refugee crisis has been used to push fears about the religion of the refugees.
Fox & Friends hyped a "disturbing" video on September 9 purporting to show refugees chanting "Allahu Akbar" as evidence that most of the refugees are Muslim. Despite adding the caveat that "we're not saying that any of [the refugees] are terrorists," Fox hosts suggested "Allahu Akbar" chants show why "some are worried" the refugees are "potential terrorists," while an on-screen graphic blared, "Terrorists Inbound? Taking Refugees Could Open Door To Jihadists."
KRISTIN FISHER: At the same time that the White House is reconsidering what to do about this refugee crisis, a new video surfaces online showing why some are worried Europe is opening its doors to potential terrorists.
Those are reportedly Muslim refugees on a train in Europe chanting "Allahu Akbar" or "God is great." Now, to be clear, we're not saying that any of those people are terrorists or in any way affiliated with a terror group, but it does highlight just how many of these refugees, who are fleeing violence in Iraq and Syria, are Muslim. And when they're flooding into Europe at a rate of thousands a day, it's impossible to check all of them as they cross the border. The White House has been taking some heat from its European allies for not doing more to help, but yesterday a spokesman said the administration is "actively considering other options."
It appears the video originated on the fringe website InfoWars.com, which links to a YouTube post calling the men in the video "ISIS recruits," not refugees as Fox & Friends claimed.

My previous post briefly described the data that makes up a user's Facebook data and this post will try to shed light on who owns and regulates this data.
I am probably not going out on a limb here to say that the majority of Facebook's registered users have not read the privacy statement. I was like the majority of users myself, in that I did not fully read Facebook's privacy statement upon signing up for the service. Facebook created a social media network online, and there were few requirements previously defined for such types of business in America or the world. A lack of rules, combined with users constantly uploading more data, has allowed Facebook to maximize the use of your data and create a behemoth of a social media networking business.
Over time, Facebook has added features to allow users to self regulate their data by limiting others (whether Facebook users or general Internet public) from viewing certain data that one might want to share with only family or specific friends. This provided a user with the sense of ownership and privacy as the creator of the data could block or restrict friends and search providers from viewing their data. Zuckerberg is even quoted by WSJ as saying "The power here is that people have information they don't want to share with everyone. If you give people very tight control over what information they are sharing or who they are sharing with they will actually share more. One example is that one third of our users share their cell phone number on the site".
In addition to privacy controls, Facebook gave users more insight into their data through a feature that allowed a user to download 'all' their data through a button in the account settings. I placed 'all' in quotes because, while you could download your Facebook profile data, this did not include data including wall comments, links, information tagged by other Facebook users or any other data that you created during your Facebook experience. Combined, privacy controls and data export are the main forms of control that Facebook gives to their users for ownership of profile, pictures, notes, links, tags and comment data since Facebook went live in 2004.
So now you might be thinking problem solved; restricting your privacy settings on the viewing of information and downloading 'all' your information fixes everything for you. Well, I wish that was the case with Facebook business operations. An open letter by 10 Security professionals to the US Congress highlighted that this was not simply the way things worked with Facebook and third party Facebook developer's operations. Facebook has reserved the right to change their privacy statement at any time with no notice to the user and Facebook has done this a few times, to an uproar from their user base. As Facebook has grown in popularity and company footprint, security professionals along with media outlets have started publishing security studies painting Facebook in a darker light.
As highlighted by US Congress in December 2011, Facebook was not respecting user's privacy when sharing information to advertisers or when automatically enabling contradicting privacy settings on new services to their users. Facebook settled with the US Congress on seven charges of deceiving the user by telling them they could keep their data private. From my perspective it appears that Facebook is willing to contradict their user's privacy to suit their best interest for shareholders and business revenue.
In additional privacy mishaps, Facebook was found by an Austrian student to be storing user details even after a user deactivates the service. This started an EU versus Facebook initiative over the Internet that put heat on Facebook to give more details on length of time data was being retained for current and deactivated users. Holding on to user data is lucrative for Facebook as this allows them to claim more users in selling to advertising subscribers as well as promoting the total user base for private investor bottom lines.
So the next step one might ask is "who regulates my data held by social media companies?" Summed up quickly today, no one outside Facebook is regulating your data and little insight is given to users on this process. The governments of the US, along with the European Union, are looking at means of regulating Facebook's operations using things such as data privacy regulations and the US/EU Safe Harbor Act. With Facebook announcing their initial public offering of five billion USD there is soon to be more regulations, at least financially, to hit Facebook in the future.
As an outcome of the December 2011 investigation by the United States Congress, Facebook has agreed to independent audits by third parties, presumably of their choosing. I have not been able to identify details regarding the subject of these audits or ramifications for findings from an audit. Facebook has also updated the public statement and communication to developers and now states that deactivated users will have accounts deleted after 30 days. I have yet to see a change in Facebook's operations for respecting their user's privacy settings when pertaining to third parties and other outside entities – in fairness they insist data is not directly shared for advertising; although some British folks may disagree with Facebook claims of advertising privacy.
From an information security perspective, my 'free' advice to businesses, developers and end users, do not accesses or give more data than necessary for your user experience as this only brings trouble in the long run. While I would like to give Facebook the benefit of the doubt in their operations, I personally only give data that I am comfortable sharing with the world even though it is limited to friends. In global business data privacy regulations vary significantly between countries, with regulations come requirements and everyone knows that failing requirements results to fines so business need to think about only access appropriate information and accordingly restricting access. For the end user, or Facebook's product, remember that Facebook can change their privacy statement at their leisure and Facebook is ultimately a business with stakeholders that are eager to see quarter after quarter growth.
I hope this post has been insightful to you; please check back soon for my future post on how your Facebook data is being used and the different entities that want to access your data.

Outings leader takes her message to Capitol Hill during Great Outdoors America week - get kids outdoors!
I prefer wilderness to cities, tall mountains to tall buildings, wide open spaces to the crowded narrow streets and rugged hiking trails to cement sidewalks. I'm a child at heart who loves exploring outdoors, and believes all kids deserve the chance to experience nature.
As an outdoor leader I have witnessed the benefits of connecting youth with the outdoors. I've watched a six year old gently grab an ant off her shirt and put it in the grass because she understood it is a living thing. I've worked in a community garden alongside a seven year old who explained surface runoff to me. I've witnessed a sixteen year old develop from being uncooperative and disruptive to leading outdoor environmental education lessons with his peers.
These are just a few experiences which demonstrate the importance of connecting youth with the outdoors - increased creativity, interpersonal skills, environmental literacy, general health and well being, sense of curiosity - the list goes on and on. One of the most important benefits is that when we connect the youth to nature, they learn to care about it and ultimately will fight to protect it.
My passion is working directly with youth in the outdoors, leading trips and teaching about the natural world. But I've come to understand that it is only one way of supporting youth getting outside. We as outdoor leaders have experienced first-hand the benefits of connecting youth with nature, and that unique perspective can be used as a powerful tool. We bear a responsibility to not only the kids we educate, but to inform others about the powerful impact we can make by getting youth outside.
That is why next week I am trading in my hiking boots for heels. I will join a group of Sierra Club delegates from across the country to meet with some of our nation's leaders in an attempt to win their support of legislation developed to facilitate getting youth outdoors and increasing access to environmental education. It's part of Great Outdoors America week during which we will hit the Hill to advocate for youth outdoors.
I've never had a meeting on the Hill or sat in a briefing with administration officials, but I understand this is another way to support youth getting outside. I will do my best to grab the attention of leaders to make them see what I see each time I take youth outdoors.
Be sure to follow us during the week as we work to win the support of leadership to get kids outdoors.

Wangler Named "Engineering Student of the Year", May 4, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., May 4, 2001 -- Timothy Wangler, a native of Clovis who is now a graduating senior majoring in chemical engineering at New Mexico Tech, recently was named the research university's "Engineering Student of the Year," an annual award presented by the New Mexico Society of Professional Engineers (NMSPE).
Wangler, a graduate of Clovis High School, is the son of John and Nora Wangler of Clovis.
He was selected for the prestigious honor from a field of several outstanding engineering students by an interdisciplinary committee comprised of engineering professors at New Mexico Tech and current officers and members of NMSPE.
Wangler is scheduled to graduate next week (May 12) with a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering with highest honors from New Mexico Tech.
"Timothy Wangler is one of the strongest all-around students to graduate with a chemical engineering degree from New Mexico Tech," says Donald Weinkauf, chairman of Tech's chemical engineering program. "He has been a leader in the classroom and as an engineering intern with Intel Corporation."
During the past two summers, Wangler has worked as a process engineering intern at Intel Corporation's microchip fabrication plant in Rio Rancho, conducting an ongoing study of the slurry polishing process involved with wafer manufacturing. The results of his work have led to process improvements at Intel's "Fab 11," which in turn has resulted in Wangler receiving a service recognition award from the company.
Wangler says he plans on working at Intel after graduation.
As an undergraduate at New Mexico Tech, Wangler currently serves as vice president of the student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and also is a member of Tau Beta Phi, the national engineering honor society.
He lists reading and participating in intramural soccer as some of his favorite pastimes.
"All in all, it's been a great college experience here at New Mexico Tech," Wangler says. "I've got plenty of memories of the past four years . . . and, I'm going to miss it."

An introduction to U.S. macroeconomic policy issues, such as how we use monetary and fiscal policies to promote economic growth, low unemployment, and low inflation.
I believe it is extremely important to consider the sources of information. No one should be surprised if news reports on MSNBC have a liberal slant or if Fox News has a conservative bias. Unfortunately, far too many people only seek information that supports existing opinions and they fail to consider all sides of issues. I strongly encourage everyone to seek a broad spectrum of opinions and information sources, carefully consider them all, and then reach one's own conclusions rather than just parroting what a favorite cable news celebrity might say.
The following information is provided to help you understand the biases that may be inherent in this blog. My primary U.S. economic policy concern is the fiscal irresponsibility of government. The Baby Boom generation, which I am part of, has spent the past 30 years accumulating massive public debt that will be passed to our children, grandchildren, and subsequent generations. I am not opposed to the reduction or elimination of any government spending program. Yet, politicians tend to call for reduced spending in general terms and fail to publicly declare specific cuts they would make. The primary cause of the massive U.S. public debt is revenue reductions (in the form of tax cuts) without similar decreases in government spending.
I am willing to consider the expansion and addition of government programs as well. I do not mind how much or little the government provides to society as long as it is paid for. I am willing to pay higher taxes for services deemed worthy, whether they be national defense, homeland security, or income assistance to those less fortunate than I. And I am certainly willing to pay less in taxes or to deposit any government check I receive. My generation, the Baby Boomers, has been very good at cutting taxes and increasing the size of government, regardless of which political party is in power. This is a prescription for financial chaos that remains a horrible legacy for future generations.

I'm posting this here hoping to save someone debugging time. We use looping music during our game menus and the music changes as you switch menus. I noticed memory usage would increase every time the music changed. You can see the issue with devhead or release and full template by doing the following:
Launch game, make sure OpenAL is the sound provider and open the guiMusicPlayer.
exec("core/scripts/gui/guiMusicPlayer.cs"); toggleMusicPlayer();
Select "art/sound/environment/amb.ogg" (because it's big).
Click play, then stop and repeat several times while watching the apps memory usage and you'll see the memory usage continue to climb and never return to it's original baseline state. If you then switch to DirectSound and repeat the experiment, you'll see the baseline memory usage remains pretty constant.
The problem turned out to be related to the sound streaming. The descriptions are set to isStreaming = true; If those are changed to isStreaming = false; both OpenAL and DirectSound release all memory reserved for the sound buffers when the sound is stopped and do not hold a large chunk until the app exits. Another work-around would be to manage all of the sound sources from script and not recreate them as the sounds are played/stopped, but in our case in addition to menus, we have multiple music tracks that will play depending on where the user is in a level, so that is not an appealing option.

Cleaning Leather/Cloth Interiors
mirde98 Posts: 95Thanks alot for the link. Very good. Yeah Alcantara is used on some luxury vehicles and high performance cars like Mitsubishi Evolution for example. It came on the Special Edition version on the 06 Lancer. I used a damp clean towel and let it dry. I though i had to use some special cleaner.... since Alcantara is suede like, cleaners like Tuff Stuff will damage Alcantara/Suede fabrics.0
gmar2 Posts: 3I have a 01 Expedtion with cloth seats. I have water stains on them, mostly from rain when the door is open. I have tried all kinds of cleaners but nothing works. I talked to a Ford dealer and they admitted they have a problem with water stains on cloth seats. Has anyone run across this and removed the stains? Thanks for the help.0
gypsystar Posts: 8Hi, I just bought a '07 Santa Fe SE AWD with light gray cloth interior. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how "light" the gray on the seats and carpet was until I brought it home. I don't have kids or pets, but I still eat, drink, etc in my car and am bound to drop or spill something several times while I own this car. Thus, I've come up with a few ideas about how to approach this. If anyone has any information, ideas or recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated.
1) Buying a can of scotch guard and spraying seats, carpets, and all parts of my cloth interior (I've actually already done this, but the question is whether I need to do something more).
2) Going to the dealer and having them apply a fabric protector It has a 5 yr warranty; if there is a stain that I can't remove, they will either get it out or replace the fabric as necessary. This basically sounds like an insurance policy to me. And, frankly, it would buy me piece of mind to spill and drop as much as I wanted. I've talked to people at 3 different dealers and have gotten quotes between $300 - $500. They each offer a different product: Xzilon, Resistol, and another. So basically, my question is: should I do this, if so, what are the best products and what's a good price?
3) Re-dye the cloth and carpet a darker (charcoal gray) color. Is this possible? Does anyone know if this works? I would really like the seats to be darker. It seems like it would make things a lot easier.
4) Getting seat covers - I have side air bags and Hyundai does not recommend that I cover the seats. I have found places that make custom seat covers and claim that they are compatible with airbags, but Hyundai recommended not to do it and it may not be a good idea to play around with something like that.
Thanks much for any thoughts, ideas or comments0
I think the Scotch Guard was a good idea but I haven't used it in years so I can't say. I thought they had to reformulate it a few years ago.
I've never heard anyone say the dealer fabric protectant is a good investment, except for the dealers, of course.
I have no idea about dying it a darker shade. You are far braver than me if you choose to go this route.
I've heard about the danger with seat covers. I guess you would have to see what they cover so that you would know if the air bag was available to deploy.
I may sound like a broken record to some, but you can search past messages from me here about how great the Interior Cleaner from Griot's Garage is. My son drives my old 95 Accord with the tan/beige interior and I was amazed how well this stuff works. You have to use the brush on tough stains (you can buy a kit that includes one but you can use any brush) and I haven't found too many stains that it can't get out... in fact, none on my Accord but a friend who NEVER cleaned her minivan had a couple that were very tough.0
fibrenew Posts: 1I just started with edmunds so i saw you add I own a company called Fibrenew.com check it out..........we are located all over the earth.i am located in nyc spread the word about fibrenew..........0
I have the very same question -- am about to buy a Rav4 and don't want to spend $1500+ on leather just to avoid stains. Did you ever get a satisfactory answer to your question? Can you offer any recommendations on where to look for seat covers and what kind make sense (safety, comfort, aesthetics, etc.)?0
Hello all,I might be in the wrong place but i was wondering if anybody could tell me if there is a company that makes exact replicas of original seat covers for cars any help is greatly appreciated thank you0
Not sure about exact replicas, but CoverKing makes a number of different seat covers. I understand from my dealer that the Rav4 (and perhaps many other cars) have airbags inside the seats and that one has to be very careful about selecting covers that don't interfere with the deployment of the airbags.0
thanks 4 replying if this helps its a 93 ford thunderbird and i like the original interior very much plus the back seat is perfect so i would really like exact copies if possible thanks again tho0

yooper53 Posts: 286this thread was as close as i find for my problem. recently had my car detailed (interior only) specifically stated i wanted no armorall like products used. picked it up at the end of the day and the whole interior, leather, vinyl, hard plastic was all wiped down with some armorall like product, was shiny, glossy which i hate. it was late in the day and i was driving home into the western setting sun ,the glare on the dash board was terrible & i didn't have my sunglasses. is anybody aware of vinyl cleaners that leave the vinyl with the showroom matte finish. don't care if its a professional product that i have to buy in gallon jugs, just so it works to my satisfaction. i've since cleaned their mess but am unaware of suitable products. i use separate leather cleaners & conditioners so i'm looking for just vinyl products.
any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
this is irrelavent but the car is an '06 accord, ex-l.0
I believe matte finish vinyl protection products are readily available at most auto parts chains. I'm sure I've seen it on the shelves.

i'm looking for just vinyl products.
I also have an 06 Accord EX-L. I love the products from Griot's Garage.
They have an Interior Cleaner that is the best I've ever used. I was impressed with how well it cleaned rugs and cloth too. They sell it in several sizes. I don't really need it for the vinyl in my car because I keep it pretty clean and the black interior doesn't show dirt like my 95 Accord w/ivory interior does. This stuff (along with a stiff brush) really cleaned up everything (although some tough spots needed a couple of applications.)
The Vinyl and Rubber Dressing they sell doesn't have any silicone in it and it doesn't leave that shiny, greasy mess. It's a great protectant for tires and vinyl. And if even the matte finish is too shiny for you, just buff it out a bit. The 8 oz. bottle last me a long time but they sell larger sizes. This is all I've ever used on my 06 vinyl.
Good luck!0
nelleb Posts: 2I'm asking for help please! I am about to lease an Infiniti FX 35. I have the choice of 2 interior leather colours--"wheat" which is beige and /or "graphite" which is a dark, dark near black grey. Each colour , of course, comes with the same colour carpeting.
I have 2 dogs, active lifestyle and am not compulsive about keeping the inside perfect. ( the exterior colour will be "Blue Slate a dark grey blue colour)
Would anyone who has experience with this please give me advice? I ususally like a lighter interiors for the feeling of light ,sun ....but that's a feeling not concrete.... but also do like the darker one....Which colour shows less dirt, everyday wear etc.......
Thanks so much in advance!0
I can tell you from personal experience that dogs will completely destroy any leather interior in a matter of days unless their area is completely covered by either a make-shift or specially cut canvas layer. They will scratch the hell out of it in other words.
Leather is, of course an organic material and is not as durable as cloth or most artificial materials. It looks great, smells great and with proper care can remain attractive for many years. But it's a choice that requires you to both periodically treat, and well as actively protect, the surfaces from damage.
Presuming the dogs are in back anyway, and you have the basic dog-proofing in place, I'd choose the darker color just in case you spill coffee, or have a water leak, etc. The only drawback is that dark leather might be hotter in summer.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!0
In addition to what Mr. Shiftright says, the lighter color will show any kind of scuff mark other places besides the seats. So when those dogs hit the door sill, carpet, etc. with their paws, the dirt will show in a light interior.
Black will show any kind of light-colored debris on the floor from your shoes (or paws).0
day9 Posts: 57I left my sunscreen in the trunk. Recently i found lots of sunscreen cream. I wiped it out with paper towel but I would like to know how to clean it completely. Any idea? Thanks.0
What's the trunk surface? Assuming it is some sort of cloth/rug material, a rug cleaner or stain removal product should remove it. I'm partial to the Interior Cleaner from Griot's Garage but I've never tested it on sunscreen.0
Find a friend or buy a wet/dry vacumn.
Then, I would just start with a lot of soap and water. The wet vac will pull the stuff out, then go with more straight water and keep vacumning and adding water until no more suds.0
imidazol97 Crossroads of America I70 & I75 Posts: 23,196I need to clean the vinyl in spots on the door panel where a dark area is. I think it's from my coats when I rest my arm on the door sill while driving. It's like the black from the coat has transferred to the light tan vinyl.
I tried Dawn and leather cleaner and leather cleaner/preservative.
Are there suggestions for things I can buy locally at auto parts stores that will work?

Are there suggestions for things I can buy locally at auto parts stores that will work?
I'm not aware of anything they sell at an auto parts store that works as well as this stuff: Interior Cleaner. I spray this stuff on and use a stiff brush. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries but I've managed to get out some tough stains on vinyl, cloth and carpets in my cars.0

bigdan1 Posts: 23My car has leather seats. Today, I drove about 4 miles with a container of Windex on front seat. I had planned to clean windows of car. Windex tipped over and unscrewed and about 1/2 cup of windex was on front passenger seat. I immediately wiped up with paper towels. As I wiped up gently, I noticed that leather appears to be peeling off, in much the same way a snake looses its skin, or a person's skin peels off after a sunburn. I stopped wiping immediately, and just dabbed up all Windex. I have car windows open to help dry. Car is not in sunlight. Any idea what happened or what I can do to fix front seat? Not sure if this matters, but car is a 2006 Ford 500. Thanks.0
kiawah Posts: 3,666Buy replacement leather covers, do internet search and find companies who sell replacements.0
You may want to check with a detail shop to see if there is anything you can do. Is it still peeling? If you have any leather treatment products, you might try using that right away. I'm guessing that whatever is in the Windex (alcohol or ammonia) really dried up the leather and you would need to replenish it ASAP.
Not that it has anything to do with your current situation but you may want to switch to a different glass cleaner in the future... something that is a bit gentler and without ammonia.
Good luck!0
obyone Posts: 8,054Ammonia is used to remove window tint. With that in mind it sounds like you've removed some type of protectant installed either by the dealer or manufacturer. Does that area seem to absorb moisture easier than the surrounding area? If so, that's what probably happened.0
dobbermansrule Posts: 3I purchased a new 2012 Ford Focus with light grey cloth seats....it has been back to the dealership 5 times & counting and they have their service clean them & will continue until it's out of warrenty. Eventually they will get tired of paying for it....would be cheaper for them to replace the seats. Currently talking to Customer Care in Detroit to see what can be done....if only more people would complain they may have to recall them. They know there is an issue and refuse to do anything so far. Rain Water, Bottled Water stains should not stain seats. We have had plenty of cars over the years and it has never happened. Please anyone with this issue - Contact Customer Care - Detroit and make your voice heard.0

(Phoenix, Ariz. - March 11, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard met today with five members of the Mexican Senate during their two-day visit to Arizona. Goddard addressed their questions about Proposition 200 and discussed other matters of mutual concern.
"Proposition 200 is now the law in Arizona, and I will enforce it vigorously and impartially," Goddard told the group.
He explained his legal opinion that specified what state programs are affected by the proposition, which voters approved last November, and gave them copies of the opinion. That opinion clarifies what state and local welfare benefits are covered by the proposition and the responsibility of state and local government agencies to verify the identity of applicants for those benefits.
Sen. Miguel Sado Sánchez Carreño, chairman of the Mexican delegation, asserted that the senators had "absolute respect for the laws of Arizona and the United States." He emphasized that their purpose in meeting with Goddard was not to try to influence the law but to learn more about its provisions.
In addition to discussing Prop 200, Goddard requested help from the senators to fight the production and use of methamphetamine, which is a scourge on both sides of the border.
"I ask for your assistance in controlling the importation of meth and its precursor chemicals," Goddard said. "We are working hard to reduce the prevalence of meth labs across Arizona."
Goddard explained that a bill being considered by the Arizona Legislature would make it harder for producers to obtain pseudoephedrine, the key chemical used to make meth. He said he hoped Mexico would consider similar legislation.
Sen. Sanchez assured Goddard that the Mexican Senate would consider changes in law that would control precursor chemicals more effectively.
Goddard also raised his concern about the guide published by Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has been criticized by some as promoting illegal immigration. It contains safety information and other facts useful to people crossing the border.
The guide was prepared with no intention to encourage people to enter the U.S. illegally, Sen. Sanchez said. Its primary purpose was to inform those who attempt to cross about the health and safety dangers.
The Mexican delegation's visit included meetings with U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton,members of the Arizona Legislature, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and faculty members from Arizona State University.

Welcome to seafoodhealthfacts.org
Overview: Eat Seafood Twice a Week
Current advice from the government and health organizations recommends eating two seafood meals each week. Scientists from government and universities, and healthcare professionals have all concluded that for most people the overall benefits of this level of seafood consumption outweigh potential food safety risks.
Nutritional Benefits
Seafood is a nutrient rich food that is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Scientific studies continue to explore the relationship between the unique type of fat found in seafood, the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, in the prevention or mitigation of common chronic diseases. Click on the "Seafood & Nutrition" tab to learn more.
Food Safety
Like other perishable foods, foodborne illness caused by microorganisms or naturally occurring toxins is the primary food safety risk associated with seafood. Illness is usually associated with improper harvesting, handling, storage or preparation. Those seafood products that are consumed raw or partially cooked represent the highest risk. Other risks associated with environmental contaminants could be a concern for some individuals especially those who catch and eat their own fish or shellfish from lakes, rivers, streams or bays or harbors that are contaminated by environmental pollutants. Click on the "Seafood Safety" tab to learn more.
Compare Risks and Benefits
Risks associated with seafood are as diverse as the commodity itself. Fish and shellfish can come from the wild, from fish farms, and from individuals who catch fish for recreation or to supplement their household food supply. Click on the "Seafood Risks and Benefits" tab to learn more.
Site Map and Overview
This Website is designed to provide science based information to help individuals and healthcare professionals understand both the benefits and the risks that could be associated with seafood. This information is organized to provide useful resources for:
- - consumers who are interested in overview information,
- - healthcare professionals who are seeking more detailed information, and
- - researchers interested in original scientific publications or government reports.

The College of Mount St. Joseph's master's in reading science program, which is offered on the campus of Mayerson Academy, has been named an International Dyslexia Association (IDA) recognized program. This is an IDA recognition which was only given to nine higher education programs this year. In addition, the Mount is the only college in Ohio to receive this recommendation.
The IDA's goal in conducting reviews of higher education reading programs is to identify and recommend programs that provide high quality and consistent teacher training in reading. The Mount's reading science program is offered in partnership with Mayerson Academy and has received many accolades for its use of faculty from both institutions to provide a wide range of expertise in education. The IDA sought out the Mount's program and did an independent review of the College's courses for alignment with the IDA knowledge and practice standards.
"We are very pleased to be a partner with the Mount in this exemplary professional development program," said Kathleen Ware, president of Mayerson Academy. "All children can learn to read by third grade. The Science of Reading Partnership is critical in making this a reality."
Dyslexia, a language-based learning disability, is now recognized as a disability by the State of Ohio, said Amy Murdoch, Ph.D., assistant professor of education at the Mount. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading, but also with spelling, writing and pronouncing words.
"The Mount's reading science master's program includes the best approaches to teaching every aspect of literacy, including dyslexia," said Murdoch, who also serves on the HB 96 Planning Committee for the Dyslexia Pilot Project.
With the IDA's endorsement, the master of reading science degree will offer a dyslexia certificate beginning this summer to enable teachers to better serve students with reading disabilities. The certificate will involve taking seven of the current reading science courses.
"Studies show early intervention is necessary for young students with dyslexia to receive the level of the skilled reading instruction they need to learn to read," said Richard Sparks, Ph.D., professor of education at the Mount and a renowned expert on language-based disabilities. "We want teachers to understand the science of reading, especially to have the tools to teach the students who have a reading disability. The dyslexia certificate enables teachers to be the best prepared to work with all students."
"Receiving IDA's endorsement of the reading science graduate program recognizes the Mount as the 'Mercedes-Benz' of research to practice literacy education," said Cathie Arnold, the Cincinnati campus director of Children's Dyslexia Centers of Cincinnati and a graduate of the reading sciences program. "While the endorsement in itself speak volumes for the quality of the Mount's reading science program, offered in partnership with Mayerson Academy, the true winners in this well-deserved recognition are the children who receive top-quality, research-based literacy instruction from those who have completed the reading science program."
The IDA Standards emphasize the need for teachers to be trained more deeply in the structure of language, including the speech sound system, the writing system, the structure of sentences, the meaningful parts of words, meaning relationships among words and their referents, and the organization of spoken and written discourse.
The master's degree and the reading endorsement received this status unconditionally for a period of three years.

Craven County's recent decision to stop Havelock and Harlowe senior center congregate meals programs started stirring a public opinion pot that now appears to be boiling.
Craven County's recent decision to stop Havelock and Harlowe senior center congregate meals programs started stirring a public opinion pot that now appears to be boiling.
Many at those at and connected to the centers feel the east end of the county is being unfairly targeted for program cuts and came out to talk about it Monday.
The action was proposed by Craven County Aging Planning board, which faced state and federal budget cuts in home and community block grant funding. The action appeared to be justified to Craven County commissioners judging from the data collected from seniors who use the program.
It would end service of weekday congregate meals to about 25 seniors in Havelock and about 13 a day in Harlowe. The centers� combined 12 people who meet the new criteria could be transported to George Street Senior Center to participate in that program, which will be funded, as will the Vanceboro program that also serves Cove City and Dover.
Craven County's only contribution to the program from county coffers has always only been the 10 percent matching funds to get the grant which this year would be $7,950 for the $79,502 program countywide. The County budgets pass-through money from state and federal grants that appear to be drying up and that prompted new criteria, which establishes individual need in order to participate in the program previously been open to any senior 60 years or older.
In the 5 p.m. Monday commissioners budget work session preceding the official public hearing on the county's proposed $97.6 million general fund budget for 2014, Chairman Scott Dacey said he opposes additional county tax money for the more meals.
�In my view, these meals should be restricted to those who truly can�t take care of themselves,� he said. �I feel bad about the others but I think it's the right public policy. We should look to the community, particularly faith-based organizations, to fill in the gap.�
Craven County Commissioner Lee K. Allen of Havelock said he has been bombarded with calls from people annoyed by news of the change and some who were concerned that Dean Roberts, Havelock's representative on the Aging Planning Board, was not allowed to vote on what was a unanimous action.
And speaking at the 7 p.m. hearing in Craven County Administration Building, City of Havelock Commissioner George Liner made a detailed case for Havelock's opinion that the criteria used are not required for congregate nutrition meals or liquid nutritional supplement programs.
He spoke in support of continuing the program at the Havelock Senior Center, which was restarted in April 2012 with county oversight and operated under the direction of the City of Havelock since July 1, 2012.
�Congregate meals has no financial requirement other than that stated by the federal government and is not served anywhere else under the guidelines used in this change,� Liner said, of the program funded by a $27,086 federal grant with a $3,010 county match and about $4,800 from the city of Havelock.
He read official congregate meals program justifications which include �the benefits of socialization and a balanced meal far outweigh the cost of the program. If we can keep our seniors in their homes, in their communities, and out of long term care ... then we all benefits not only from a quality of life standpoint but we reduce the county's Medicaid costs burden.�
He said he would have no objection to an across the board funding cut but does oppose these two centers being targeted instead.
Commissioner Jeff Taylor said, �This is not the first time we have had to close a center. This is not unprecedented.�
Four years ago two centers in his district in the western end of the county, one in Cove City and one in Dover, were closed and their eligible seniors now participate in the congregate meals program in Vanceboro.
About 20 meals were served at the Havelock Senior Center on Tuesday where participants, mostly Havelock residents, spoke out.
Herb Rotchford, 75, is not happy to hear that funding for the free meals may be cut and said, �I feel that the senior centers in Havelock and Harlowe are getting the short end of the stick,� he said. �It seems like they don�t care.�
�We feed anywhere from 15 to 25 people,� he said. �There�s a lot of people here that are not satisfied with this decision. We�ve got just as many seniors that are in need.�
Phil Heckhaus, 83, drives from New Bern to eat lunch at the Havelock Senior Center and said, �I�m disappointed that it�s being discontinued, but I don�t know the details. If it�s necessary, I�ll live with it.�
Billy Sides, 74, said the meal is important for he and his wife. �I wouldn�t get a good meal that�s proper for my diet or my needs. My wife is unable to cook anymore. It�s almost an absolute for us.�
Joe Mason, 80, said, �Certain ones of us are going to miss it� but understands. �I guess most people have disability but they�re not disabled.�
�It�s convenient, but in a lot of cases, not absolutely necessary,� he said. �I guess it has certain social benefits. I guess a lot of these old-timers just don�t want to sit at home if they�re able to get out.�
Alfreda Stout of Craven County Department of Social Services which oversees the program said that seniors who qualify and can't get out are delivered frozen meals.
The budget has not yet been approved. Commissioners plan a noon Friday work session to consider the comments from the hearing and a few personnel matters before taking a vote.
Dacey proposed that the county approve a balanced budget which uses no fund balance and reducing the current Craven County tax rate a quarter cent, from 47 cents per hundred dollars in valuation to 46.75 cents per hundred.

Arkel Panniers - Designed for cyclists, by cyclists
What's New
Come on in and discover the innovative design concepts and quality workmanship that go into every one of our panniers.
We have a full range of conventional and Waterproof Panniers, Handlebar Bags, and Panniers Racks.
Designed for cyclists,
by cyclists.
Arkel designs and builds the finest Bicycle Panniers for Bike Commuting, Mountain Biking, Bike Touring, or around-the-world Expeditions.
Arkel panniers are designed for cyclists, by cyclists, because there is no substitute for on the road experience.
Dear Arkel Community,
We've come a long way from our humble beginnings when, in 1988, Serge Vigeant set out to design the best bicycle pannier bag available to cyclists period! From the very first pair of touring panniers he made for himself to any touring, off road, randonneur series or commuter pannier you'll find with the Arkel label today, one thing remains true, we care about your experience on the bike. We've always made and will continue to make panniers for cyclists like you; with the finest fabric (Cordura), the best zippers (YKK), the ultimate hook system (all aluminum Cam-Lock® system with no plastic parts to break) and flawless, practical designs that make your tour, commute or bike ride down to the corner store more satisfying.
We're engaged in making the planet a better place to live by promoting cycling through advocacy with our partners from Vélo Quebec, The Bicycle Trade Association of Canada (BTAC), Adventure Cycling and The League of American Bicyclists.
Finally, bike panniers and rack made by people who really love to ride! Our designs integrate countless hours of experience on the road and in the saddle and tons of customer feedback. There's no better way to gather information than from the road. And yes we listen to our customers and continually improve our bags based on real world experiences.
For example, our Randonneur Rack® and specially designed series of companion bags. We created an entirely new category focused on racers, commuters, mountain bikers who don't want or have a rack on their bike. It's the only one of its kind on the market. Strong, light, stable, it goes on and off almost any bike in seconds and adjusts to fit any seat post and bicycle saddle bags. A sleek quick release bracket attaches to both sides of the seat rails, forming rock-solid attachment points. The three point attachment system of the Randonneur Seat Post Rack® brings unequalled stability - it feels like it's bolted on to the frame!
Move it from race to road to mountain bike in a flash. Pair it with our Tailrider trunk bag or two different pannier/backpack combos.
Arkel is also dedicated to community empowerment evidenced by the lively crew from CRDITED Estrie - a social service program for folks with Intellectual Disabilities and Pervasive Development Disorders. They've worked at Arkel's Quebec headquarters for more than 8 years. We think of them as family around here. Once the designers have finished creating our bags and the seamstresses have stitched them tight, the gang from CRDITED Estrie goes to work assembling and putting the finishing touches on each T-42, Signature V, GT-54 and commuter pannier.
We back our products with a no hassle, lifetime warranty so you get peace of mind with every Arkel purchase. We also provide the best possible customer service, not just among pannier companies, but any company. We are dedicated to the complete riding experience from beginning to end as we know bikes and will assist you with whatever question you may have, from outfitting your bike for the next ride, urban commuting, touring or bikepacking adventures. If you have any questions about getting outfitted safe and proper, chances are we've answered it before and will have you covered when you call or write. If we don't, you can be sure we'll find the answer. Our website is filled with information on how to choose the right bicycle pannier equipment, tips and instructions, even videos to help you get what you need and see how it works before you order it.
We wish you a most pleasurable experience with us and our gear and look forward to working with you soon!
