A great pair of riding gloves from Altura, the women's Peloton mitts have all the features you need for extra protection and comfort while riding including ProGel insert technology.
|High Visibility:
Using a stretch fabric on the back and a supple synthetic leather palm with strategically placed Progel padding gives you gloves that feel great and provide excellent bar feel as well as vibration and shock damping from rougher roads. Using Altura Ergofit™ 3D patterning delivers a palm with less fabric and therefore fewer creases for a more comfortable fit. Altura Dry™ technology leads to enhanced breathability and wicking through perforated palm panels and flexmesh upper panels again increasing comfort levels. The strapless stretch wrist cuff and finger pulls makes getting the gloves on and off super easy with a silicone cuff pull for extra grip when pulling them on. The gloves are finished with reflective details so adds to your visibility as light fades.
ProGel is Altura's award winning insert technology that utilises strategically placed gel protection combined with antibacterial properties to offer the very best rider protection and comfort.
Short fingered gloves, also known as track mitts, are an essential item for any cyclist. They provide you with a grippy interface between your hands and handlebars, whilst also helping to reduce road vibrations, they also have the added benefit of adding extra protection if you have a spill.
Altura is the Number 1 clothing and luggage brand for UK cycling. Led by a team of cycling enthusiasts, Altura has grown through a continuous focus on research and development, driven by real passion for the sport. We understand what matters most to all types of cyclist - from everyday commuters to hard core trail riders and road racers.

Manager Brendan Rodgers believes Fabio Borini and Suso will return to Liverpool as better players this summer following their season-long loans and is delighted by the experience they have both gained away from Anfield.
Italian striker Borini, who arrived at Liverpool for £10.5million from Roma in the summer of 2012, has scored six goals in 28 games for Sunderland while Spaniard Suso has netted twice and provided seven assists during his 24 outings in La Liga playing for Almeria.
Speaking about the duo, Rodgers said:
"Fabio has got games and scored some very important goals.
"He got the opportunity to play in a major final at Wembley. All that bodes well for the future.
"The likes of young Suso has had a terrific loan in Spain playing regular first team football.
"He will come back and come into the squad in the summer and then we will assess where he's at."
Liverpool currently have a dozen players out on loan, including the likes of Pepe Reina (Napoli), Oussama Assaidi (Stoke), Tiago Ilori (Granada), Andre Wisdom (Derby County), Jack Robinson (Blackpool) and Jordon Ibe (Birmingham City).
Rodgers spoke about the benefits of allowing some of the younger players to go out on loan to gain the necessary experience of first team football.
"The loans have certainly been beneficial.
"There are different types of loans for different players. In particular for the young players it's very important for them to gain that experience.
"It's good for us to put them into clubs who operate with a similar philosophy. That helps their development and hopefully brings them back ready to play pressurized football at a high level.
"We've got Andre Wisdom doing really well at Derby at the top end of the Championship and young Conor getting league experience at Sheffield United. He needed to go away and prepare himself to play every single week."
Liverpool's £8million summer signing Iago Aspas has endured a frustrating season of relative inactivity having played just nine minutes of Premier League football since early December. However, Rodgers was unable to allow him to go out on loan due to lack of cover for strike duo Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.
Rodgers has been impressed by Aspas' attitude and complimented the Spaniard for his commitment.
"It's been a season where it's been difficult for some of our fringe players, especially the strikers.
"I feel for the likes of Iago. He works tirelessly every day. He hasn't got a lot of minutes but he has been brilliantly professional. That indirectly helps the likes of Luis and Daniel.
"It's been hard for some of those guys but they have still committed themselves to help the overall team. I know that ultimately at some stage they will want to play games."
Rodgers' comments about Suso come after rumors emerged suggesting interest from Sevilla. Suso himself seemed to add fuel to the fire saying that he admired Sevilla and would be open to a move.
"I don't know anything about that, but maybe they've spoken with my agent. Sevilla is a club I've always admired, for how they live and breathe football, their character, their stadium…
"It would be a really good place for me. Also, it's just an hour down the road from my home."
However, during an interview with Estadio Deportivo and ahead of the match between Almería and Sevilla this weekend, Suso indicated that he sees his future at Anfield.
"I'm at Almería on loan from Liverpool so it doesn't depend just on my decision.
"Almeria have given me the chance to play in the first division and I would not mind at all continuing here one more season, but as I said, it does not depend just on me.
"I've been talking with Liverpool, to see if they're going to renew my contract.
"Next season they could be playing in the Champions League and I'm really keen to be a part of that."


text:
"Thank you for your advice, I will try talking to him about it tonight. He has been extremely busy and stressed with work, so I'm assuming its that. I just hope it's not something more serious with his health. Could it be possible that so..."

Country, 2009
Play On is an uneven album. Carrie Underwood and her music makers are not taking any risks here, so basically you know what to expect here if you have listened to anything by her in the past. There are plenty of radio-friendly bubblegum pop songs that will fit in well in both pop and country radio stations. Since Ms Underwood can really sing, unlike her fellow pop-country tarts like Taylor Swift, I don't think she should worry about competition anytime soon.
Unfortunately, this also means that Play On is either very good or very boring, depending on the song. There are some really good songs here, such as the title track, the merry Quitter, the bitchy Songs Like This, and the soulful duet with Sons of Sylvia, What Can I Say. But other songs are just too pedestrian to be memorable.
Play On breaks no new ground and takes no risks, which won't be so bad if the end result isn't this uneven. My suggestion to anyone who isn't a fan looking to complete a collection is to preview the tracks and buy individual songs instead of getting the whole album.

The request of one of our readers prompted me to go back through my shots of the 2009 Chrysler event at Carlisle one last time. Said request was basically a question regarding the appearance of Duster 340 models:
And just to keep things on an even keel, here are two more from the compact side of Chrysler Corporation:
A Volare-based Road Runner from Quebec.
Ever think of racing a four-door Volare?
My friend Jerome bought is mother's cleaning lady's '77 Volare. Beige, no options. We used to call him "the Nutty Federal Agent" when he drove up in that car.
That '70 Duster is beautiful. Rare to see one so original and not beat to pieces.
My first real car (after the beater jalopies) was a '70 Duster – 225 Slant Six, three on the floor, Lemon Twist, Rallye wheels and heavy duty suspension, E-70/14 Goodyear Polyglas.
I'm still looking for that car.
I too am a fan of all things mopar,I have a couple 1970 dusters,one is simialer to your original.Lemon twist yellow,3 on the tree,almost no options,radio deleat,rubber floor mat,plastic side view mirrior,but it is the smaller 6,198 c.i. all original.down to the paint.
Racing a 4-door Volare? I drove a couple of different Aspen cop cars. These rigs had 360 engines, the 7×15-inch cop car wheels barely fit into the wheel wells, and they would definitely handle and haul ass too. In most ways they were very similar to the 1976 Dart Pursuit that I had, with rear swaybars, heavy front swaybars and torsion bars, PS pump coolers etc.
The thing that impressed me most about the way these cars cornered is that there was no drama, sliding, noise, or extreme body lean. They just went where they were pointed at speeds well above what most other cars could manage. Knowing this definitely spoils one for movie car chases.
Wow. I thought I was the only nut who liked F-bodies.
The year before he retired my grandfather bought a new '77 Volare wagon with a slant six, AM radio, digital clock, and overdrive on the three-speed stick. It was plain as a parson's purse and probably the only Volare that was rock solid and trouble free. Even lthough the carb and front fenders were replaced under recalls the originals never gave him any trouble.
My dad relied on Grampa's experience to buy a '79 Aspen wagon. My mother still spits on the floor when anyone mentions Chrysler Corporation in her presence. The slant six in our Aspen was impossible to keep tuned and it ate ballast resistors like popcorn. We kept a supply in the rear side compartment along with a socket wrench; my dad and I got to the point where we could replace them in the dark faster than you could say #$@%&.
I wouldn't mind having an F-body wagon as a driver today; it's an excellent package let down by poor quality control and lousy assembly. That being said, any F-body that's survived until today is probably sound as a dollar or at least fixed enough to be reliable.
For the F-body, a interesting trivia is in Mexico, instead of using the Aspen and Diplomat monikers, Dodge continued to use the Dart nameplate (who'll be later used for the F-body related cousin, the M-body http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzyyuZgRWaI and a K-car variant) http://imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=222404
I heard a rumor then the Aspen/Volare was originally slated to be called Dart/Valiant but Chrysler wanted a more upscale and youthful image, anyone who can confirm this?

Lancaster County election officials have been busier than usual this week with the deadline quickly approaching for new voter registration and the start of absentee voting.
Lancaster County Voter Registration Director Mary Ann Hudson said new voter registration for South Carolina ends Saturday, Oct. 6, at noon.
A big change for the better is coming Oct. 16 for Lancaster County Libraries and library users. On that day, the library system will "go live" with the SC Lends Consortium.
The change is essentially a merger with the records of 16 other libraries in the state.
For the user, it will mean immediate access to more than 3 million titles held by those member libraries. At the click of a button, library patrons can choose a book and have it sent by courier to their branch library in Indian Land, Lancaster or Kershaw.
Lancaster County has seen a slight increase in the number of building permits issued.
But is the rise a sign of a recovering economy or is it merely the result of population increases?
The Catawba Regional Council of Governments recently released statistics that show the number of building permits issued from April through June (second quarter) this year compared to the same time span in 2011.
Data shown is for Lancaster, Chester, Union and York counties.
Police are asking the public's help in finding a Lancaster man wanted in connection with two shooting incidents Sunday, September 30, including one that injured two people.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Dyeshawn Dyaquette Foster, 18, 341 Robinson Road, for four counts of attempted murder, two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, armed robbery and unlawful carrying of a pistol, according to a Lancaster Police Department news release.

Indian Land Elementary has been the focus of unwanted media attention after a flyer sent home with students last week announced what appeared to be a school-sponsored beauty pageant set off an outcry from some parents.
Though the Oct. 20 pageant has since been cancelled, organizers say they've decided to go ahead with it anyway, but under a new name.
Former Lancaster High School basketball star Sindarius Thornwell will play at the University of South Carolina.
Thornwell, who is playing his senior season at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., made his decision Monday night, choosing the Gamecocks over N.C. State.
Thornwell, a 6-5, 180-pounder, averaged 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists for the Bruins last season.
Police are asking the public's help to find a Lancaster man wanted in connection with a double shooting Sunday afternoon, Sept. 30.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Dyeshawn Dyaquette Foster, 18, 341 Robinson Road, for four counts of attempted murder, two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, armed robbery and unlawful carrying of a pistol, according to a Lancaster Police Department news release.
Lancaster Police Capt. Scott Grant said Monday morning that Foster's whereabouts are still unknown.

Dr. Stephen Criswell glanced over a desk, quickly stepped into an adjoining room and came back with two coveted audio tapes.
The cassettes contained oral histories in the form of interviews with Native American tribes in the Carolinas. Hours of conversations have been recorded over the years.
Most of the interviews have since been taken from cassette and digitized for better preservation.
Christopher Sardelli
A new funding formula and personnel questions were the chief topics as Lancaster County Council discussed economic development at its Sept. 24 meeting.
The discussion began with a proposal from the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. designed to generate funds for a variety of economic development activities.
Jesef Williams
More money is needed to continue work on the Brook Drive improvement project near the University of South Carolina Lancaster.
Lancaster City Council voted unanimously at its Tuesday, Sept. 25, meeting to approve two change orders, which add a combined $49,793 to the project cost. Crews are performing road and sewer work to make the area more accommodating for planned college student housing in coming years.

If you need to pass someone, you may pass in the middle of the lane or at the wall. If you know someone wants to pass you, please be considerate and move off to the side until they pass.
- Participants will each swim 12 lengths of the pool. You may stop and rest on the end walls of the pool but please be courteous to others and stay out of other swimmer's paths to the side of the lane. Please try to wait to stop until you reach the end of the lane on the wall instead of stopping in the middle of the pool.
- Any stroke may be used and you may switch strokes if you so desire throughout your swim. No floatation devices or other swim aides may be used during the swim. It is your responsibility to keep track of how many lengths you have completed to ensure that you completed the entire 12 lengths. You may have someone present in the pool area to help you count as long as they are off to the side of the pool.
Upon completion of the swim you will exit the deep end of the pool through the pump room double doors to the outside, east of the building. You will follow the path to the transition area (parking lot) where you will get your bike for the ride. There will be a water station as you exit the pool as well as one in the transition area.

- The transition area will open at 6:30 a.m. and will be cleared for the race start at 7:25 a.m. Please be aware of the other participants! Participant bikes will be set up in the recreation center parking lot. You will place your bike on the bike racks provided according to your heat number. There will be a maximum of eight to ten bikes per bike rack - four or five maximum per side.

- Please note: If you choose to arrive late - you will have to park across the street at the City & County building/Police department, or at the library. You will have to look for a volunteer along the course to help you across the street safely so you are not interfering with other racers. We will let you into the transition area only on the south side of the parking lot (download a map of the parking lot here). A volunteer will be posted at the entrance site to help you locate your bike rack for set up. Please be considerate of the other racers - watch for them so that you do not interfere with their race!!!
- At the transition area you may dry off, put on your shoes/socks, shorts, t-shirt, or whatever else you feel you need to do to get ready for the bike ride. No full changes will be allowed in the transition area. It is up to you to remember where your bike is located. Please remember to have your bib number somewhere on your body when you finish the race.
- You will not be allowed to ride your bike within the transition area. You must walk your bike to the end of the parking lot/transition area before you may begin riding your bike. After returning from the bike ride, you must slow down and exit off your bike at the entrance to the parking lot/transition area and walk your bike back to your bike stand before beginning the run.
- We require that all participants wear a bike helmet during the bike ride for your safety.
*We are asking everyone to be respectful of the other participants. Only registered participants are allowed in the transition area and only when you are competing or setting up prior to the event. We ask that you wait until all bikers have finished the bike leg and are out of the transition area, before you remove your bikes and equipment to leave.
The Bike Ride
- From the transition area, you will ride out of the Community Center parking lot, down to first avenue and up Main Street to begin the route. You will ride a 5.5 mile loop TWICE for a total of 11 miles.
- The roads, with the exception of Spader Way will not be closed to traffic. We will have cones placed on the course on the right side of the road. We will have volunteers along the route to help cheer you on and point you in the right direction. We will also have police officers posted along the route to help with traffic lights and cars to help slow down traffic.
- Please follow all traffic rules for your safety. Do not assume cars will stop for you. Please be aware of all traffic flows, stop lights, and turning corners. We want you to be safe and have fun! Please stay to the right hand side of the street to allow for other participants to pass you. There will be a water station located on 136th after the turn off from Main Street (after that long hill - you'll need it). Please make sure you slow down or stop at the water station if you want water and that you are out of the way of other bikers. There will also be a water station at the finish of the bike before the run.
- The ride will end at the same transition area that you started the ride. Please be aware that you may be finishing the ride while others are beginning their ride. Again, please be aware of other participants and slow down to exit your bike at the dismount zone.
The Run
From the transition area you will leave your bike and take off on the bike path in back of the Community Center. The path will be coned off and volunteers will be there to help you out. You may run or walk this route or a little of both. There will be one water station along the route. The run will end in the Bay parking lot at the finish! You did it - congratulations!

The former Portsmouth man has been linked with moves to both Old Trafford and Anfield although, as exclusively revealed by Goal.com, Liverpool are also eyeing Jack Butland, with Arsenal preparing to move for Pepe Reina.
|Stoke are 8/1 to draw 0-0 with Everton with William Hill
"It's very flattering," Begovic told Sky Sports News.
"It's positive feedback from other teams that people are looking at you and mentioning you with those teams.
"It's no secret that everyone has their own ambitions and they want to be playing at the highest level possible.
"But right now I'm just focused on taking Stoke forward and I think the club here has a lot of ambitions; the chairman, the manager and everyone else included.
"So we just want to keep pushing this club forwards and see how far we can take it."

Whitby, North Yorkshire England UK
The earliest record of a permanent settlement at Whitby was in the year of 656AD. This was when as Streanœhealh it was the place where Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first abbey.
The Synod of Whitby was held at the abbey in 664AD, but in 867AD, the monastery was raided and destroyed by Vikings.
Another monastery was founded in 1078. It was in this period that the town gained its current name; from "white settlement" in Old Norse. In the following centuries, the town functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, the trade in locally mined alum, and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery.
Tourism started in the town during the 18th century and progressed further on the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by its proximity to the high ground of the North York Moors National Park, its Heritage Coastline and by its association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally. Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.

St. Johns County Commission Chairman Mark Miner, attended the recent meeting of the St. Augustine South Improvement Association, where he swore in the new officers and board members for 2012. Those officers include
Audrey Allen - president; Joe Ciriello - first vice president; Theresa Nizza - second vice president; Shirley Jennings - secretary; and Keith Rowland - treasurer. Board members are Joan Nizza, Louis Zimmer, Sandy Murphree, and Ann Bresnahan.
In his remarks to the group Miner addressed several problem areas which affect the South - several vacant houses under foreclosure, These can become an area of concern, he said, and he encouraged residents to let him know of any specific problems with those properties. Banks are usually cooperative in making sure the properties are kept up, but that is not always the case, he noted.
Another problem area is the north boat ramp. It seems that since the city implemented its mooring requirement, many transient boaters who moved out of that area are now living on their boats just offshore from the ramp, and they use the boat ramp as a parking area, etc. Miner said the commission is aware of the problem and is in the process of addressing it, perhaps with stronger ordinances. Again, he encouraged residents to notify the county of any problems related to this issue.
In response to a question regarding what can be done about the fact that many businesses, such as Food Lion and K-Mart are closing, creating job losses, Miner made several points. While the losses are unfortunate, St. Johns County does have the lowest unemployment rate in Northeast Florida. Food Lion employees are being given the option to move to other locations. Also, new businesses are moving in, he said, including Lowe's.
Improvements around the area will help to relieve the traffic gridlock, Miner told the group. He admitted that the county will suffer growing pains during the construction, but the results will greatly improve the traffic situation in that area. Once the construction is completed, he said, the next goal will be to get the traffic lights in sync.
In closing, Miner congratulated those residents who come out and participate in improving the neighborhoods. Their interest and involvement are what make the county work the way it does, he concluded.

Frank Maloney has denied that David Price was offered a fight with Tyson Fury.
British and Commonwealth heavyweight champ Fury reportedly claimed Price's camp passed on the chance for a showdown in Belfast over the weekend.
But Maloney claims that's wide of the mark, and says: "I never received any offer in writing or verbally from Tyson's promoter for David to face him on Saturday night.
"I saw Tyson quoted saying David had said 'no' to the Belfast fight, but that is rubbish. Nobody has been in touch.
"I can only imagine that Tyson's promoter was dreaming he made the offer and got a little confused."
Olympic bronze medallist Price (11-0) defeated Fury when they were amateurs, and he boxes John McDermott (26-7) in a final eliminator for the British crown at Liverpool Olympia on Saturday November 19 (live on Sky Sports).
Maloney added: "In fairness I would have turned the offer down if it did exist unless it was a staggering amount.
"If David comes through Big John I want to promote the fight against Fury myself as it will become a level playing field and go to purse bids.
"I know what it is worth and if David is still unbeaten after November 19 I will be bidding big to stage it in Liverpool."

…Whether he likes it or not.
The NRCC are seeking to tie NY-23 Rep. Bill Owens to President Obama, insisting the Democratic congressman is little more than a "yes" man for the commander-in-chief, who has seen his approval rating tank in New York – particularly in more conservative-leaning upstate.
Upon reading The Watertown Times report that Owens wouldn't declare support for Obama's 2012 re-election bid or to even say whether he believes the president will be successful next fall, NRCC spokesman Tory Mazzola released this statement:
"Rep. Bill Owens is not only trying to run from his loyal party-line record of tax hikes and more spending, but he's also proving yet again that he's willing to say anything to get elected. "
"He may think that this pandering will help save him in 2012, but the reality is that voters already know that the Obama/Owens agenda has piled up enormous debt while putting few people back to work."
Owens is on the NRCC's 2012 congressional hit list in NY (and remember: we still don't know what his already challenging and long-GOP held district will look like), and one of his failed Republican challengers, Matt Doheny, has already announced he's running again and hired away the WT's Jude Seymour to work on his campaign.
Dohney hasn't raised any campaign cash yet, but the Democats aren't taking any chances. They're already on the attack.
Owens wouldn't have his seat if it weren't for Obama's decision to tap John McHugh to serve as US Army Secretary, and the subsequent intra-party GOP squabble between then-Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava and Doug Hoffman. He has managed to retain his seat since the 2009 special election, even weathering the GOP's attempt last year to link him to another unpopular Democrat: Former House Speaker (turned Minority Leader) Nancy Pelosi.
Obama's unfavorables outweigh his favorable in upstate, 54-43, according to the most recent Siena poll. So at this point, it's wise for Owens, who has cast himself as a moderate, to distance himself from the president as much as possible as he heads into the 2012 cycle.

Eden Hazard and Cesar Azpilicueta are likely to return to the starting line-up as Chelsea FC travel to Wales to face Cardiff City in their last match.
Chelsea travel to Wales to face Cardiff City in the final game of their season as they look to end their season on a high. The London club still has a slim chance of finishing second in the Premier League if Liverpool lose their match against Newcastle United, and they manage to win at the Cardiff City stadium.
Jose Mourinho has some injury concerns ahead of this game as their injury list has grown considerably in the past few weeks. Petr Cech continues his spell at the side-lines, while Oscar, who has missed Chelsea's last four matches, remains doubtful with his thigh injury. Frank Lampard, who was substituted at the end of the first half against Norwich City, is ill and Jose Mourinho has confirmed that the England international is not in a condition to travel to Wales.
"Frank Lampard is ill, he's in bed. If today Frank is in bed I don't think he will come tomorrow with conditions to travel." – The Chelsea manager said.
Samuel Eto'o, whose last appearance was in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final clash against Atletico Madrid, has picked up an injury in training, along with John Terry and the duo is unlikely to start against Cardiff, Mourinho has revealed.
"Frank Lampard is ill, he's in bed, If today Frank is in bed I don't think he will come tomorrow with conditions to travel." – Mourinho said in his pre-match press conference.
Ramires is the other absentee as he serves his suspension, which is extended into next season. Jose Mourinho is expected to make four changes to the side that he fielded against Norwich City. Tomas Kalas could make another start in place of injured John Terry, while Cesar Azpilicueta will replace Ashley Cole at left back.
In the midfield, Frank Lampard, who is unlikely to travel, will make way for David Luiz, who will partner Nemanja Matic in the pivot. Mohamed Salah produced a fairly disappointing performance against Norwich before he was replaced, he will make way for Eden Hazard, who started on the bench after a reported spat with Mourinho. Willian will start through the middle with Andre Schurrle shifting to the right wing.
Expected starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Schwarzer (GK); Ivanovic, Cahill, Kalas, Azpilicueta; Matic, Luiz; Schurrle, Willian, Hazard; Ba

image President Goodluck Jonathan In his country's capital of Abuja on Tuesday, recently re-elected Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan delivered the opening address of a three-day conference of world leaders who have odd and funny-sounding names. "My name comes from a tradition in my part of Nigeria," said Jonathan, "In which parents name their child for the aspirations that they have for him. I acknowledge that many people may find my name amusing, but to disrespect a name is the height of insensitivity and petty cruelty." The crowd of oddly-appellated leaders from around the world erupted in applause after these statements. Also making speeches on opening night were President Jesus Cojones of the Central American republic of Hidalgo, Hussein Al Nurd, Emir of the gulf state of Nestir and Prince Otto Von Katzenwippin of the small alpine nation of Hausberg. Although U.S. President Barack Obama's name is not considered funny enough to warrant his inclusion in the conference, he did send several goodwill representatives, including rapper Diddy and NFL legend Dick Butkis. "When you have achieved the status of world leader, it's time for people to stop making fun of your name and start honoring it," said St. Tropi Prime Minister Dancy Butts, also in attendance, to reporters. "It hurts our credibility when we are humiliated for our names by the world press, by bloggers looking for cheap laughs and by late-night talk show hosts in America with the same first names as popular pulp fantasy characters." A more positive spin was given by the President of Remittia."For many of us, our unusual names and the teasing we received for them as children served as an incentive to become achievers," said President Sharkgut Rochester. "Had I been given a more common name I would probably still be working as a commercial fisherman like my father." While Wednesday's schedule was largely reserved for regional conference discussion groups, there were also statements read by Premier Finshave Taco of Almedinia, President Bobo Toboboro of the Mestan Republic, King Saysaysay Nutpitt III of Tomatilla and Cazillian Prime Minister Sex Machine Johnston. The closing comments of the day were spoken by the Nile Republic's premier, George Gaywad, followed by a closing performance of music by the Singing Lindas of Hausberg under the direction of Salad Pemakmak. Thursday morning will feature resolution-signing ceremonies, a few more musical performances and closing comments by President Jonathan and Brantistan President Motobop Hubahuba. "We've been working toward this for years," said Dyakistani President Myasshurtz Veneral Topweave. "I never thought I'd see this day in my lifetime. I thought perhaps that my son, Myasshurtz Veneral Topweave II would be able to attend such a conference after I'm gone. I've very happy to have been proven wrong." Also attending the conference are Kingdom Of Keineland Premier Martin Loser-Sheissenassen, Bakacek President Grabsak Hootenanni, Horn Islands Prime minister Pigeye Golf-on-the-Moon Whorebaker and Zeus Allen Maggotcock Poppy God Tisselmango Spitterson, Parliament Chairman of the State Of Centralia. image

Regardless of your budget, you can enjoy the true New York experience over a weekend. Take the time to plan your trip so you can decide where you want to save some cash, and where you want to splurge a bit. Since options abound, you can choose the essentials that best meet your needs and expectations.
A weekend jaunt to New York will cost you if you don't have a friend with a couch. Hotel rooms in the city cost an average of $250 per night, with the more desirable ones costing upwards of $400. Rooms not actually in New York City can run a bit lower; keep in mind that neighboring New Jersey is a good option. Jersey City and the Hoboken, New Jersey area are just a short train ride into Manhattan -- and you can find a room for less than $200 a night.
If you're visiting New York to enjoy the high-end cuisine, expect to spend about $200 per person for dinner, alcohol included. However, there are lots of less expensive options. If you can think it, you can probably find it when it comes to food in New York City. Every neighborhood offers a variety of restaurants in a variety of price ranges. There are also plenty of fast food and chain restaurants that keep their prices competitive with the rest of the country. If you're in the mood to eat cheap and soak up the local flavor, some neighborhoods have street vendors selling food on every corner. You can also find delis, sandwich shops and cafes tucked away on most streets. With all the options available, even if you set your food budget at $20 a day, you could stay within budget and still have a good NYC eating experience. Also, weather permitting, you'll find farmers markets and fresh fruit stands throughout the city for healthy choices.
Shopping and Entertainment
New York has shopping and entertainment available for every price point. If you're planning to take in a show or two over the weekend, you can purchase prime opera, ballet or theater tickets for around $100 each. But there are also discounted shows and performances if you plan ahead, or special deals on shows if you purchase your tickets the same day at a TKTS ticket booth; one is located right in midtown. Once you have your tickets for the night, you can spend the day visiting high-end shops if you've got money to spare, or you can opt for sample sales, vintage shops and flea markets as cheaper ways to find your personal style. Also, check out the Macy's and Bloomingdale's visitors desks to get a discount when you show your out-of-state ID.
New York is a travel-friendly city, with a thriving taxi industry and public buses and subways that run 24 hours a day. A typical taxi ride from JFK airport to midtown Manhattan will cost $45 plus tolls. Public transit costs $2.25 per trip. For transport that lets you experience the feel of the city, walking around local neighborhoods is a great no-cost option. You can also rent bicycles by the day or by the hour. Prices typically start at $10 to $15 dollars an hour, but you can get a deal if you rent a bike for the entire day.
Culture and Tourist Attractions
New York City has something for everyone when it comes to museums and cultural exhibits. Admissions vary, but there are always discounts and specials available. The Metropolitan Museum of Art "suggests" an admission donation, but doesn't require that you pay anything. You can spend a whole afternoon enjoying the exhibits for whatever amount you can afford. However, if you're looking to do the real "touristy" thing, an elevator ride to the main deck of the Empire State Building will cost you $23, while a one-hour water taxi ride to the Statue of Liberty costs about $25. Pick up a copy of a local newspaper to get listings of what's going on during your weekend in New York City.

Though they come with assorted extra baggage filled with broken hearts and dreams, four housemates will discover they also have a vast array of hidden strengths. As they struggle to become the women they want to be, they'll find new hope, and maybe even Kendall will learn a thing or two about life, love and the true meaning of friendship.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
An entertaining and humorous look at the relationship dilemmas of four unlikely female friends who share a small bungalow while launching their careers.
In the 86 Bloomberg Place series, four diverse young women with varying levels of faith, differing interests, and unique personal issues share a four-bedroom bungalow in an energetic college town. In Spring Broke, Kendall's housemates help her plan a garage sale to pay off her accumulated shopoholic debt. Megan is trying to decide whether to quit her job and pursue work more meaningful than designing wealthy people's homes.
Newly engaged Lelani has returned from Maui to Bloomberg Place and is trying to book her wedding date. Unfortunately there are scheduling conflicts for that same weekend. For starters, Megan and Marcus have a family wedding commitment. Anna and Edmond have promised to attend his younger stepbrother's Bar Mitzvah and, to everyone's surprise, Kendall has just accepted her "Maui Man's" proposal of marriage and also wants to be wed on that first weekend in June.

It is MojoMonday Contest Week! It's always fun to do Julee's sketches that she posts on Monday's but when it's contest week it's just a bit more fun than usual. Join in on the fun. You can find the details at the Mojo Monday blog.
I've been busy with my mom visiting and before that I was crazy busy cleaning my carpets so I had no time for creating in my art studio. All the fun sketches from Mojo turns 100 week are sitting on my computer desktop just waiting to get used and I pushed them aside when I realized it was contest week. So I'm back in the game and leaving a few dishes in the sink to give me more time to catch up.
Here is my card for this week's Mojo.
I don't know about you, but nothing gets my mojo flowing better than a new gadget, and the new Martha Stewart Loopy punches have been on my list since the first sighting this summer. In my pity party shopping spree after I saw my mom off on Monday, I picked up the MS Loopy corner punch (the edge punch was sold out). Tuesday I started to play around with it on a scrap piece of paper and I ended up using it on this card. I was shocked when the paper matched the ribbon from the shopping spree (Michael's $1 bin, but was on clearance for 50 cents!)
Hope you get the time to play along this week over at MojoMonday!
Card Details:
Stamps: Verve Psalm 37:4
Paper: LSS Mint Green, SU! Grays from Neutrals pack, Brocade Blue, Creamy Caramel, White card base
Ink: SU! Brocade Blue
Accessories: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and D'Vine Swirls EF, MS Loopy Corner punch, SU! Pretties Kit pearls, Michael's ribbon

It's No Accident: How Corporations Sell Dangerous Baby Products
By E. Marla Felcher
The news that 16-month-old Danny Keysar had been killed in a portable crib on May 12, 1998, spread quickly among the family, friends and colleagues of his parents, Linda Ginzel and Boaz Keysar. Everyone shared the family's shock and grief.
Danny's death was a tragedy. But Danny's death became more than a tragedy as the news spread that the crib that killed him had been recalled in 1993.
It should never have been in use. One close friend of the family, Marla Felcher, was so outraged by this fact she decided to investigate how the child of two safety-vigliant parents could be killed by a brand-name crib that had been pulled from the market five years earler.
The book is the result of Dr. Felcher's two-year investigation of the baby products industry. It tells the stories of parents who unknowingly trusted dangerous products, and of manufacturers who continued to sell these products, knowing that they could result in infant injury or death. The book also offers tips on how to protect children from hazardous products.

An old barn gets new life on Short Mountain
We didn't have to look far for spare barn wood for Stillhouse #1. Billy remembered there was a damaged barn just around the corner on Pea Ridge.
The owner, Robert Bogle, was home and said we could help ourselves to whatever we needed. He had been following our progress in the newspaper and was happy to hear we got our federal permit. He said the state should be easier.
Robert knew a thing or two about moonshine and the revenuers and took us inside his home where his wife Louise directed him to a small stack of scrap books she had kept throughout his time as Cannon County Sheriff. She reminded us they were lucky the books survived a fire that took their home a couple of years ago.
Scattered throughout the pages were stories from the local newspaper of moonshine and whiskey busts across the county in the late 70s and early 80s. It was clear by the headlines many locals had moved on to growing marijuana and did a lousy job hiding it from Sheriff Robert Bogle. The few old-timers, who weren't the least bit tempted by the new cash crop, quietly stuck to a 100+ year old folk tradition of whiskey making on Short Mountain.
STILL CAPTURED (1982) – Sheriff Robert Bogle displays a 50 gallon moonshine still that was captured by state Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents and deputies from his department late Friday, Sept 4 in the Pea Ridge section of the county on a farm known as the Keith place. Confiscated in the raid was the still, four barrels of mash and a 1967 Ford pickup truck.

A little ergo Ulu
Radharc - Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 8:42amKnife-makers
Did some horse tradin' with a buddy down in GA, and got several semicircular pieces of Damascus in the process. I looked at this one, and it just hollered ULU at me. Was able to ID the material via another guy, it's 5160 and 1018, rolled in a mill. Here's a pic of the piece as I received it, after sanding and a quick etch:

Well, this is an interesting one.Some of the guys at Primal Fires are into wagon wheel rims, because they're usually wrought iron, for making guards and pommels for knives. A guy sent me some wagon axle, telling me that it was a simple, high carbon steel. This started giving me an idea. I have a couple old wagon wheels in my yard that are falling apart, and it made me curious. What if I made a Bowie knife entirely out of old wagon parts? Call it a Conestoga Bowie, after the Conestoga wagons. The gears in my head started turning. So, first thing was to cut into one of the rims I have. Tried bending and tearing it. It's pretty tough, and finer grained than I'd imagined:
Hear ye, hear ye, a knife raffle for a good cause!

Hey Gimperfi,
I mentioned some of the fun you can have with differential hardening, so thought I'd share some pics. This started out as a dull old Nicholson file. I annealed it, then ground it, packed the spine with Satanite refractory clay, and hardened it, creating a differential temper (soft at the spine, super hard at the edge), as well as a hamon, the traditional Japanese visible hardening line. Thought maybe the pics would inspire you to upgrade your rig and get into heat treating. The clay coating:

Knife photography (experience, some tips, etc)
Radharc - Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 9:13amKnife-makers custom knife | knifemaking | knives | marketing | photography
Hey gang,
From time to time I have people ask me if I do my own photography. Yes, all of it. Then they ask "How do you get such nice pics?". This is a brief rundown with some tips and such that I posted on another forum, and thought there might be some interest here. So, here we go:
I do all of the photography of my knives myself. My current camera is a Canon Powershot A95. 5MP digital. Here are the basic guidelines for doing pics, in no particular order:
Lighting. Generally, if at all possible use natural lighting, the best you can obtain. That may mean taking your pics at a certain time of day, or on a certain day, etc. Cloudy is nice. I also hold up bright white sheets at different places around the subject (knife) to bounce light around and minimize shadows. Alternately, sometimes I place my hand, fingers spread, or cardboard over the subject, to scatter light. Or even something opaque and transparent, to diffuse it.
Background. Select a background as solid as you can, or uniform, at the least, something that does not distract from your subject.
Get as close as you can to your subject, fill the viewfinder with it. Digital cameras focus less well the more you zoom, even an optical zoom. Zoom as little as possible. Speaking of viewfinder, I don't use the optical at all, strictly the LCD.
Use a tripod AND the longest available timer on the camera. I have 3 tripods: one is a small tabletop, one a large pro model, and one that I made myself, years ago. Get it as perfectly framed in the viewfinder as you can, ready to go, then press the shutter release and get your hands away from it. That way, the camera will settle and be moving the least amount possible when the shutter snaps.
I try to avoid using the flash, generally even shut it off. I also use the Macro autofocus function. Speaking of which, I allow the camera to automatically select everything. It has manual controls for everything, but I pretty much go full auto.
That's basic tech stuff, the rest is judgment and experience. One thing, some of you may know, is that you have to take thousands of pics, to get good. I've been doing amateur photography since I was a child, using a little Instamatic. Been through a dozen cameras since. The beauty of digital is that you can snap pics, then upload them immediately, see if you nailed it, and if not, go right back and take more. No waiting for them to be developed, etc. Also, as many pics as I take (deleting probably 2/3 of them), I save thousands in film developing by using digital. Last thing is you need decent photo editor software and you need to be proficient with it.
So, that's it in a nutshell. Once you have the tech stuff down, then judgment plays a large role. I think about, when I'm photographing, what precisely it is that I'm trying to communicate. You know, a general overview, versus a specific detail, etc. When someone looks at my pics, what are they seeing? Is it what I'm trying to show? Etc.

Quoted from KristinSounds like it could be an assimilation issue and continuing to heal your gut should bring your desired results.
Quoted from Kristin
I decided that what I really needed to do for a more lasting weight gain was to reset my thermostat... so to speak... at a higher level. In other words... I would try my best to maintain the weight gain so my body wouldn't drop it off... and the longer I could do that, the more likely my weight gain would stay on. It's like my body finally "accepts" that this is what I should weigh and maintains that level. I know I'm probably not making any sense but I think for thin people, our bodies crave homeostasis and that's why weight gain is so difficult. Just my opinion.
Quoted from MercedesAnd Kristin, I think everyone's body likes homeostasis- that's part of why some of us have a hard time losing weight ;) My body likes the size it is, but my wants it to slim down a bit :B
That's what I'd do. I've heard it said that there's nothing unhealthy about being underweight. (I used to be, too.)Quoted from Carol the Dabbler-snip-
I could simply assume that as long as I eat lots of Superfoods and get enough calories, then whatever I weigh is the correct weight for me.
Mostly I'd like to get back some muscle mass. I'm not much of an "iron pumper" though. I just keep thinking that if I can just get it all together, healthwise, I should put some muscle back on, just from regular daily activities like gardening. One thing I like about the Teacher diet vs. the A-nonnie diet is the increased options and frequencies for eggs and dairy products. Along with my usual nuts and beans, I'm eating more protein already.Quoted from MercedesCarol, why is it you want to gain weight? Are you actually underweight, or would just like more shape/curve to your body? .... My *guess* would be ... that starting a exercise regime aimed at building muscle, and increasing your protein intake ... may help. You're not too likely to "bulk up" but you should put some weight on....
Odd you should mention it! Somebody on a gluten-free forum mentioned that onions/garlic can stir up any heavy metals that have been hiding in one's tissues, and I suddenly realized why eating them makes me feel so darn edgy. I've already had a chelation-challenge urine test, and am seeing that doctor again next week for the results.Quoted from karenIn your blog you mentioned having mercury fillings removed. If you have any leftover mercury hiding in your body, that can end up in your digestive system and cause malabsorption -- and cause your gluten sensitivities -- and keep you from gaining weight. Have you tried any mercury chelators in the past?
Quoted from RibbitWhen I put [my husband] on the B diet he lost 20 lbs and he didn't have any extra to lose! Now he's really skinny. But he's started thinking that maybe that's just where his body wants to be, and he feels good, so he's stopped trying to bulk up.
Quoted from RibbitMaybe y'all are supposed to be skinny. Some people are naturally. I mean, if you feel good and you're full of energy, why try to change where your body wants you?
My husband would like to gain some weight too. When I put him on the B diet he lost 20 lbs and he didn't have any extra to lose! Now he's really skinny. But he's started thinking that maybe that's just where his body wants to be, and he feels good, so he's stopped trying to bulk up. He's happier with where he is now.
Quoted from 2459Maybe your lungs need the nourishment more than the boobs do right now. ;D

Members are advised that the relevant legislation - Executive Order 13780 - has been temporarily suspended by two Federal courts, with a third expected to rule shortly. Until the legal challenges have been concluded, the Order will remain suspended.
Therefore, shipowners and their crews from the above six designated countries regretfully remain in a state of uncertainty, which will ultimately only be resolved by the conclusion of the various court proceedings, which could make their way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Skip to comments.Defense Sec Proposed Cutting Army
Posted on 02/24/2014 5:11:07 AM PST by RetiredArmy
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will reportedly propose a Pentagon budget that will shrink the U.S. Army to its smallest number since 1940 and eliminate an entire class of Air Force attack jets.
The New York Times reported late Sunday that Hagel's proposal, which will be released to lawmakers and the public on Monday, will call for a reduction in size of the military that will leave it capable of waging war, but unable to carry out protracted occupations of foreign territory, as in Afghanistan and Iraq.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I don't see a problem. Pull the guys back to the US territory. Refuse to engage in any conflict that doesn't directly affect us. And just tell the media we don't humanitarian missions.
It is on Drudge as well.
Not surprised. The surrender admin wants to build up its civilian corps.
By "doesn't directly affect us", do you mean unless we are attacked on U.S. soil?
America has been strong because our military was strong. Obama doesn't want a strong America. Sure, they can make spending cuts but not in benefits to our men and women in uniform. Why not just cut Obama's vacations? That would be a good start.
I have no problem with pulling some of our military out of its overseas commitments but nothing this leftwing nut bar does with our military is going to be good.
Hagel is a disgusting Obama Butt-wiper.
He and Obama will have a place in history for gutting the military and screwing veterans.
We always hear from democrats and RINOs that there isn't enough money for our own military.
But not once do we hear that there isn't enough money to expand welfare, food stamps, free medical for illegals or money for Obama and Kerry to hand out a billion dollars here and a billion dollars there to foreigners.
> I dont see a problem. Pull the guys back to the US territory. Refuse to engage in any conflict that doesnt directly affect us. And just tell the media we dont humanitarian missions.
I think that alone would cut a lot of costs in itself. Thw world hates us so much except when it comes to that humanitarian aid. Then they love us. Now that they've gotten so used to it, they'll act like a spoiled brat and scream if we don't help. We did it to ourselves.
Rand Paul voted to confirm him.
No worries. I'm sure everything will end up just dandy.
It's a huge problem. 'If you want peace, prepare for war'. Obama is the anti-Reagan now revealing himself after getting reelected.
It is time to cut our defense secretary
USA to participate in KHagel exercises
Gotta pay for them social programs.
America doesn't need to 'be strong' for the world, it needs to be strong for the Citizens of the U.S. That does not entail throwing our men/women into every damn conflict on the planet with some damn goofy RoE so that the fight can never be won.
Military does not 'win hearts and minds', it does not fight emotion ('War on Terror'); it is used to defend and, if needed, WIN the fights/battles and WIN peace. But should never be used on the weakest of pretense to shove the Federal leviathans nose into every country on the planet.
I'll post the question, as I'm ignorant of the answer: In what post-conflict(s) has the U.S. pulled entirely from the region?
I dont see a problem. Pull the guys back to the US territory. Put the military on the southern border, give them ammo and shoot anyone trying to cross the border illegally.
>> that will leave it capable of waging war, but unable to carry out protracted occupations of foreign territory, as in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Good! We're great at waging war and we suck at being occupiers. It's not the military that sucks at it, it's the American people who are afraid to call for what is necessary to occupy hostile territory. Bring the troops home. Drill for oil here. Muzzies and ex-commies don't want our brand of freedom anyway. They know that if they start moving that direction, then we'll give them money and free stuff.
No, they will have a place in history for getting us killed. That's the natural progression of what they are doing.
I agree, and what you're saying would make tons of sense, but be prepared to be attacked for saying it. Even some so-called small government conservatives think we should police the world.
Great, then all future wars will be fought on U. S. soil. Wow, why didn't I think of that?

Think about the life of Marcus Smith for a moment. He learned late on Thursday night that the Eagles made him the 26th pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. At 3 p.m. on Friday, he had boarded a plane and landed at Philadelphia International Airport before being whisked around the NovaCare Complex on a media tour and a brief stop with various executives in the Eagles organization.
Smith was then hustled back to the airport to take an 8:30 p.m. flight back to the campus of the University of Louisville. He arrived there after midnight, grabbed some sleep and lined up for graduation ceremonies at 9:30 a.m.
By noon Smith had received his diploma, celebrated for the afternoon, and then headed home to pack up some belongings for another trip to Philadelphia.
Smith and his fellow rookies in the Class of 2014 arrived in Philadelphia on Sunday night, were taken to a nearby hotel and given the rundown on the week to follow as they begin their professional careers in the NFL.
A few days into the life, Smith and his rookies have a sense of what it's going to be like. The pace is frantic. The expectations are very high. Never is a player to be late for a meeting. Conditioning sessions are conducted with maximum intensity. Meetings are demanding. The pace does not slow until the season ends.
Welcome to the Eagles, rookies. You see how fast head coach Chip Kelly moves? He's a mile-a-minute coach who maximizes every minute of the day, and that's how the Eagles operate. So if you want to make it here, you need to stay ahead of the pace.
And it isn't easy.
"It goes so fast, man," said
"Here, it's all business. Football is the only focus. It made things better for me. I'm married, so I didn't have interest in the nightlife or anything like that. I got in my playbook and I took care of my body and I felt fresh the whole season. I never hit a wall. I know it's not like that for a lot of guys, but for me I feel like I got stronger toward the end of the season."
Johnson's maturity helped tremendously in his rookie season. Some rookies are swallowed up in the expectations and in the glare of the spotlight, and others need time to adjust to the lifestyle change and the sudden change in finances. Beyond that, the rookies are suddenly in a world of grown men and the cultural is dramatically different than it was in college.
Added up, a rookie season can be a washout if a player isn't prepared for the pace, intensity and demands.
"You find out right away that this is a business and there isn't any tolerance for falling behind," said 2013 second-round draft pick
"There isn't any way to know how fast it is until you go through it. You have to make football your entire focus."
How much a rookie contributes is often tied to how he handles the NFL's day-to-day workload. Just because, for example, the day of practice and meetings are over doesn't mean a rookie can relax. Some of the most important moments are those spent alone with a playbook in off hours.
"All the time," said Ertz. "You need to know the playbook."
Smith has a taste for what's expected of him. He's experienced a week like none he will ever again have in his life. From first-round draft pick to college graduate to professional football player thrown square into the action of an NFL offseason – and we haven't even reached the point of two-a-day practices or the media responsibilities or the physical and mental demands of the seven-day regular season cycle.
"I can look back and say I enjoyed the experience, but it did go by quickly," said Johnson. "Having gone through it, I'm ready for the season. I know what to expect. It's hard. You have to be mentally prepared to go 100 percent. There really are no days off in this league. That's probably the first thing you learn when you come to the NFL. If you don't bring it, you aren't going to be here long."
