On a scale of one to ten, ten meaning you love it, how much do you like working on your bike?
I would say around six-seven. I like to dial in a new bike, but I'm not that much into straightening wheels, chain, or changing grips and tires.
How long do you typically ride a bike before building a new one? Do you switch out parts as they go? Or just build a whole fresh kit?
I ride the frame for about five-six months, and then build up a fresh fork/bar/frame kit. I switch up parts from time to time, but mostly tires or grips. I ride both wheels for over a year now and they still go strong.
What parts do you change out the most often and why?
Definitely grips and tires. Sometimes also pedals, although I don't really like pedals that are too grippy.
What are you most particular about on your bike?
Probably pedals for the same reason. It totally feels like a new bike if the pedals are too grippy and I'm stuck onto it. So maybe pedals and tires. I'm super happy with the bar/fork/stem combo, if my bike feels too low in the front I don't like it either.
Overall, how do you like your bike to feel— chain tension, crank tightness, grips—thick, thin, new, or worn-out, tire pressure, et cetera?
As I said, I'm not the biggest mechanic, but I like my bike to be worn out a bit. My grips have to be thin and the chain tension not too high. My tire pressure is around 4.5 Bar (65 PSi). Other than that, everything has to be tightened up so my bike sounds like a ball when it falls down.
Are you concerned with how much your bike weighs? How much does this bike weigh?
No, not at all. And to be honest I never weighed it.
Are you willing to experiment with new parts and mix things up, or do you prefer to stick to tried and true?
I'm down to experiment with parts for sure, but right now my bike feels as dialed as never before so why change it?
How long have you been on the freecoaster for? And what are your thoughts on it?
I've been on and off the coaster for about two-three years now, but I haven't taken it off since summer last year, so around one year I'd say. I think it's pretty cool. It opens a lot more possibilities since you can go in and out tricks faster. Also, you get a sudden revenge if you are trying to bitch crank [laughs]. Besides that, even when there is no spot around you can spend hours on the local parking lot.

Interested in journalism and the future of news? How about international watchdog groups or web publishing?
If any of those topics tickle your fancy, you might consider dropping by Middlebury College's Bicentennial Hall tonight for the Meet the Press lecture series, where seasoned editor, author and columnist Jacob Weisberg will discuss how newspapers fit or don't fit into government.
VERGENNES — The Middlebury Union High School dance team on Saturday for the third time in five years won the Vermont hip-hop crown, this time before more than 1,000 fans supporting 10 teams at Vergennes Union High School.
The Tiger team — with half the dancers dressed as men with goatees and eye black — edged the defending hip-hop titlist Burr & Burton squad, 263.5-261.
MUHS had previously claimed the hip-hop title in 2008 and 2010.
ADDISON COUNTY — In his 34 years of maple sugaring, Starksboro's Dave Folino has encountered few winters like this one. With some local spotters noting temperatures soaring eight degrees above average last month and more than six degrees above average in December, the sap has been flowing steadily.
"It's not really a winter," said Folino. "It's pretty much a perpetual sugar season."
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents on April 11 will vote on a proposed 2012-2013 Mary Hogan Elementary School spending plan of $6,144,811, representing a 4.15-percent increase compared to the current spending plan.
BRISTOL — The Addison Northeast Supervisory Union (ANeSU) board and superintendent search committee are closing in on a new superintendent.
CORNWALL — Emery Tillman takes community service seriously — and not only in her backyard of Addison County. At the tender age of 17, Tillman has donated her time to environmental and humanitarian causes stretching from her hometown of Cornwall to Uganda, Africa.
Her efforts recently earned statewide recognition and will soon get national exposure, thanks to an award from Prudential Financial and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).

Moisture forgiveness is a building science concept generated by the demand for increased energy efficiency in the built environment. As buildings become increasingly tighter, they also can become more susceptible to moisture damage which can compromise the performance and durability of the building. Building owners, architects, and contractors must employ an integrated project delivery strategy to manage moisture effectively. Georgia-Pacific fiberglass mat gypsum products provide the moisture forgiveness that protects the performance of the structure and the inhabitants within.

I have a partner, Amy, that has actually been researching the last couple of years and also had a number of laid-back work to bring some added money in. Previously this year she began doing exactly what she guaranteed was just front workdesk assistant job at evening for a companion firm/ whorehouse.
Someday she returned and also stated the proprietor, Danny, asked if she wished to do a "try-out" to begin obtaining a couple of reservations. I asked just what a try-out was, to which she responded that Danny offers the lady an individual session to see if they depend on functioning criterion.
" Yet you're not interested to do that right?" I asked.
Amy drew a $100 costs out her bag. "I understood we were brief on rental fee this month, so I believed it would certainly be safe as well as I really did not assume it would certainly be infiltration anyhow"
Currently I was reclaimed "hold on, so there was infiltration or otherwise?" I quized, my mind competing back to when she was providing me an impact work simply that early morning and also appeared exceptionally sexy.
She provided information, as if it indicated it would certainly excuse her ..." you recognize Danny, he's wed, he checks out all the women as well as provides directions the best ways to fuck the consumer and also just what settings to utilize. It really did not indicate anything, it resembled a task meeting. I had not determined I wish to be a functioning lady yet he provided a $100 perk."
" At initially he simply asked to have me nude, to see exactly what my worth would certainly be. He drew his trousers down as well as asked me to draw him a couple of times so he might see just how much I could take. He claimed he has extremely specific customers and also he has to recognize the ladies well so he could match them to customers requirements."
" So I curved over on the bed assuming he would certainly possibly look at my pussy up close. I relaxed my head on the bed, it was rotating understanding that I had actually simply drawn my managers dick, also if just a couple of strokes. I might see this center aged, somewhat obese guy having sex with a 24 year old ridicule body.

I began dropping her off to make certain she was risk-free yet ended up being comfy with it after a month or so.
She provided up information, as if it suggested it would certainly excuse her ..." you recognize Danny, he's wed, he attempts out all the ladies and also offers them guidelines just how to fuck the consumer and also just what placements to make use of.

1. "We're striking out with our TV audience."
Break out the peanuts and Cracker Jack: It's World Series time, as the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals vie for baseball's top team honor. With a history dating back to 1903 and a cast of characters that has included superstars from Babe Ruth to Miguel Cabrera, the series may rightly be called America's Fall Classic.
But as classics go, this one may also be losing some of its seemingly timeless appeal. Television ratings for the best-of-seven contest have been on a fairly steady decline in recent decades. For example, the 2012 matchup — between the San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers — posted a modern low of 12.7 million average viewers per game, according to Nielsen. (Granted, the series was also particularly low on drama: The Giants swept the contest 4 games to 0.) By contrast, the 1986 series, which pitted the New York Mets against the Boston Red Sox and went a full seven games, had an audience of 36.4 million average viewers per game.
What's behind the slide? The reasons are many, but sports experts say that baseball generally has fallen victim to the growing interest in other professional sports — football and basketball, in particular. Such controversies as steroid scandals and labor conflicts — most notably, the strike of 1994 that resulted in the World Series' cancellation — have also diminished fans' faith in the game. Finally, the advent of the cable and satellite era, with its explosion of channels and viewing choices, has made it hard for almost any sporting event (short of the super-hyped Super Bowl) to stand out. "When everyone across the nation was watching the same shows or events, they had greater importance to us all," says Dennis Deninger, who teaches courses in sports communications at Syracuse University's David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics.
An MLB spokesperson says the World Series "continues to be one of the most significant events on the sports calendar." Additionally, the spokesperson points out that last year's series — between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals — saw a 17% uptick in ratings over 2012, with an average 14.9 million viewers per game.

Everest Raises $2M for App to Help People Achieve Goals
A San Francisco startup called Evrst Inc. has raised $2 million to popularize its unique personal productivity app and social network.
Everest app users can set goals, create a plan of action to achieve them, then track and share their progress with their friends and followers, with whom they can also exchange tips, helpful links and words of encouragement.
Instead of broadcasting who they know, or what news items they are reading (as with Facebook or Twitter), Everest users "signal deeper intentions," said co-founder and Chief Executive Francis Pedraza.

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
Which team most surprises you in the West at this point: Clippers, Jazz or Suns?
Steve Aschburner: Utah. In winning five straight through Tuesday and six of their last seven, the Jazz are navigating close ones and blowouts, high-scoring tilts such as the 113-105 pasting of Cleveland and grinders like their 85-73 victory over Milwaukee last week. The ball is moving – even through notorious stopper Al Jefferson, a great guy with something to prove. They're also getting quality work from contributors young (Alec Burks, Derrick Favors) and old (Earl Watson, Josh Howard).
Fran Blinebury: After the Jazz opened up the schedule getting clobbered in three of their first four games by an average of 15.6 points, it certainly looked like the first full season P.S. (Post Sloan) was going to bring nothing but misery. Instead coach Tyrone Corbin has shown a stubbornness to stick with the ancient Raja Bell in his starting backcourt and a willingness to let his kiddie corp — Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter, Alec Burks — learn on the run. It's paid off with some fun, aggressive ball. The Jazz are in deep Northwest Division water with OKC, Portland and Denver, but it looks like they'll be able to tread water until ready to make a splash in the future.
Scott Howard-Cooper: Slight edge to the Jazz because they have recovered from a slow start despite having the farthest to go. The Clippers were always going to be good and the Suns were always going to be competitive, but Utah has been particularly encouraging with such a young roster.
Shaun Powell: Not really surprised by any of the teams and their records, just some of the situations. Thought Utah would give more time to Derrick Favors (just 23 minutes a night). Thought the Clippers' backcourt would be a bit more vulnerable defensively, with three smallish point guards in the rotation (CP3, Mo Williams, Chauncey Billups). Thought the Suns would trade Steve Nash by now, and maybe they will in two months. Biggest team surprise in the West is Memphis. That playoff stretch last spring seems like it happened years ago.
John Schuhmann: Phoenix. The Clippers have been inconsistent on both ends of the floor and I think Utah's record is inflated because of some close wins over bad teams. The Suns actually have a better point differential than both of them, despite playing one of the tougher schedules in the league. Marcin Gortat has proven himself to be a valuable defensive anchor, and his presence in the starting lineup has the Suns in the top 10 defensively thus far. Really, the Suns! I thought this team was going to stink this season, so any signs of life, especially defensively, are surprising.
Sekou Smith: The Clippers are supposed to play well with the moves they've made. And while I love what Steve Nash, Grant Hill and Alvin Gentry continue to do in Phoenix, the Suns don't strike me as a team built for the long haul. What I do know is that the Jazz are doing things right now, five wins in a row, that not even the die-hards in Utah thought was possible out of this bunch. The Jazz are easily the biggest surprise of these three outfits, right now.

Bill Maher, the intrepid comedian, once said that the reason he loves his dog so much is because when he gets home, his dog is the only one that greets him like he's the Beatles. As anyone that loves and has a dog knows, he's not joking.
Every evening, when I get home, I have a huge welcoming party waiting for me. Tails wag furiously, in fact so furiously that I wonder how they don't fall off! Opie kisses my face a hundred times, his whole body wagging. Lucy plants a quick kiss on my face and then runs in and out between my legs as if she were a train, rubbing against my knees and rolling over on her back for a tummy rub. Old Freddie, almost blind, a little overwhelmed by all the action and in fear of being unintentionally knocked over by the huge Lucy, stands a foot behind anyway and barks for attention, eager to tell me he's happy too.
Even the cats roll down the stairs and sit at a slight distance, a little disdainful of all this unbridled doggy excitement, but waiting for a chance to wind themselves around my ankles
The whole show is repeated, blow by blow, when Desi gets home. He usually gets in after me, and the moment the excitement over my return has died down, the dogs sit at the front door, waiting for Desi. Opie, who seems to have an implicit belief that I control when daddy gets home, will scratch my leg with his paw and make huge, appealing eyes at me, imploring me to make him come home immediately.
Animals react with such straightforward emotion to almost any situation. But they are not quite simple creatures. There is a lot I have learned from my animals just by being around them every day.
Lucy, for instance, has taught me the importance of trust, and loyalty to those you love. She is fiercely protective about her family. Sure, as the alpha among the dogs, she will bully Opie and Freddie relentlessly around the house. But she will not let any other dog do that. Once, as we were hiking on a trail, Opie crossed a fairly deep trench filled with water, jumping over it in excitement as he chased a squirrel. The excitement over, he wanted to come back and join us, but this time he wasn't sure how to get back across the trench. Suddenly, a bigger dog appeared from one of the homes backing to the trail, and stood threateningly and territorially in front of Opie who is as peace-loving as they come and never, ever gets into a fight.
Lucy, who had wandered ahead of us, ran back, and planted herself right in between Opie and the other dog, who suddenly didn't look so big. The other dog retreated, and Lucy helped Opie return to the rest of the family by navigating him through a shallower part of the trench.
From Opie, I've learned the importance of enjoying the world, just as it is. He has an indescribable enthusiasm for just about anything, and to him each walk or each ride or each treat is something to be enjoyed with all his heart. He will greet other dogs he meets on walks with a happy playfulness, and he will chase every squirrel he ever sees with gusto even when he has never managed to get close to one, and never will because he's just too slow.
From Freddie, I've learned to stay young at heart. At 16, which is only 80 in dog years, he's the most spry old man I've ever seen. Sure, he has bad days, but he bounces right back up and gets back to life as usual. And he never, ever complains.
From Pie, my black cat, I've learned the lesson of persistence. Once Pie sets her mind to something, it's hard to get her off it, and usually she gets her way. If she's hungry, she'll lobby you relentlessly for food or a treat. If she wants her catnip, she won't leave you alone until she gets it. And with those huge eyes and beautiful face, she knows she is hard to refuse.
From Pubm, my calico cat, I've learned the most important lesson of all: to not let fear control me (although, I'll admit, there are still times when I have to work on it).
When Pubm — along with Pie — was new to our home, she was obviously not used to dogs and fearful of them, which wasn't helped by the fact that both Opie and Lucy love chasing small and furry things and were unbearably excited to have two new ones right in the house. Pubm endured a lot of chasing in her early days, and was initially very timid, hiding away for hours after an encounter with Opie or Lucy. But she decided, after a while, that she wouldn't let them keep her from going around and exploring the house as she wanted to do. So she began to fight back, with a few bats of her paw and a well-timed meow. It was remarkable to watch her, because at 12 pounds, she is less than one-seventh of Lucy's weight. Soon, the dogs got used to her and started leaving her alone. Now, you can often find her sharing a couch with Opie or Lucy, and sometimes even stealing their treats right under their nose. They, in turn, treat her just like one of them.
Okay, now that I've waxed on about my kids, let me turn to my recipe for the day, one of my favorites and a fairly easy one to make.
I got the base recipe for this out of World Vegetarian, although I made quite a few changes, and also replaced the cream with a paste of pistachio nuts, which made it much healthier.
This Green Curry with Peas and Shiitake Mushrooms is deliciously smooth and velvety, and it goes beautifully with some rotis or parathas. The spices in it are fairly mild, so it would be a great one to try if you're sensitive to spicy food.
Here's the recipe. Enjoy, everyone!
Green Curry with Peas and Shiitake Mushrooms
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed and cut into strips (you can use white or even criminis)
3 cups green peas
1 tbsp grated ginger
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup coriander leaves
2 green chillies
2/3 cup pistachio nuts, soaked for a few minutes in warm water, then ground to a paste.
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Place the green chillies, ginger, garlic and coriander leaves in a blender and puree with just enough water to make a smooth paste.
Remove the paste to a bowl.
Place a cup of the green peas in the blender and using enough water, blend into a puree.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the cumin seeds and, when they sputter, add the mushrooms.
Stir the mushrooms in the oil for a minute. Then remove them and set aside.
To the saucepan, add the green-chilli-ginger-garlic paste and saute for two or three minutes.
Add the mushrooms back to the pan along with the 2 cups of green peas, the green-pea puree, and some salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and add the pistachio paste.
Add enough water for a slightly loose but not watery consistency.
Let the curry simmer on low heat about five minutes.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve hot with rotis or chapatis or any flatbread.

Le Tigre : Hot Topic
The original "herstory" by always epic Le Tigre.
ps. Vaginal Creme Davis is a brilliant name.
ALSO: This girl painted portraits of all the people mentioned in the song! It's pretty rad, you should definitely check it out.
I have always loved Le Tigre, but I never really got the point of this song until recently. Now I celebrate it!
this song will never not get me so pumped on being a grrrl.
Woah, neat song. I was listening sort of half-listening and then I thought... did they just say Spivak?!?! Amazing!
Those paintings are really cool too, they reminds me of another Canadian artist, Karen Miranda Augustine. She has a series of paintings called 'American Empress', and yeah, awesome: http://karenmirandaaugustine.com/artwork.html
Awesome! I'm the one who painted the series. Thanks so, so much for the link. I'm in the process of building a better Hot Topic web page so that the amazingness of all these people can be a little better appreciated.
Your site is great!
thanks for stopping by Kirsten, your illustrations are superb!

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan officials say several people have been killed and injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd of sports fans watching a buzkashi game in northern Afghanistan.
Amanddin Quriashi, a senior official in the Imam Sahib district of Kunduz province, says the district police chief is among the wounded in Wednesday's bombing.
Kunduz province police chief Gen. Mohammad Khalil Andarabi says the father of the speaker of the Afghan parliament was among those killed in the attack.
The provincial police chief's Sayed Sarwar Hussaini has confirmed the suicide attack but says the number of casualties is still being determined.
The crowd was watching a game of buzkashi, a traditional Afghan sport akin to polo, where players on horseback use a headless goat carcass instead of a ball.

UC Law 2013 Constitution Day Lecture with Professor Marci A. Hamilton
Date: September 17, 2013
Time: 12:15 p.m.
Location: Room 114
Professor Marci A. Hamilton, the Paul R. Verkuil Chair in Public Law at the Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law, Yeshiva University, was the 2013 Constitution Day speaker.
The Most Important Building Block of the United States Constitution: Distrust and Separation
Marci A. Hamilton is one of the United States' leading church/state scholars and holds the Paul R. Verkuil Chair in Public Law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University, where she specializes in church/state issues and the dynamics of child sex abuse in institutional settings. She is an author, lecturer, and advocate on the protection of the vulnerable from religious institutions. She is also a national leader for legislative reform for the protection of Children from sex abuse. During 2012, she was honored as one of Pennsylvania's Women of the Year, and received the National Crime Victim Bar Association's Frank Carrington Champion of Civil Justice Award.
Professor Hamilton has testified before numerous state legislatures regarding the elimination of the statutes of limitations for childhood sex abuse. She is frequently asked to advise Congress and state legislatures on the constitutionality of pending legislation and to consult in cases involving important constitutional issues. Professor Hamilton clerked for Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School; the Graduate School of Pennsylvania State University; and Vanderbilt University. She is a member of Phi Beta kappa and Order of the Coif.
In her presentation, The Most Important Building Block of the United States Constitution: Distrust and Separation, Professor Hamilton discussed how the Framers of the United States Constitution shared a key insight that is the building block that has made it as successful as it has been: distrust of anyone holding power. The Framers' key insighght was that those holding power are always tempted to abuse that power, and that concentrations of power are particularly dangerous. To avoid tyranny, they implemented devices to separate power, check power, and disable it when it broaches on tyranny.

During his interview with Chris Wallace on Sunday, this exchange occurred:
WALLACE: Did you talk to reverend Wright recently about his decision to make a series of public appearances at this particular point?
OBAMA: You know, I didn't talk to him about that. I had talked to him after all this had happened, partly because I regretted I always regret people who are civilians, essentially, being dragged into these political fights.
And I expressed to him I said, "Look, we have very strong differences. I do not agree with the comments that you made. On the other hand, I regret that you have drawn so much attention."
Elsewhere in the interview, Obama answered in the negative when asked if he considers Rev. Wright "just a victim here." However, the answer just quoted show that he deems Wright a victim at least in part.
There are a number of reactions to Wright's America-hating statements that one might have expected (or at least hoped for) from Obama if, as he claims, he didn't know about them before. "I'm sorry that my candidacy caused you the inconvenience of having your statements come to light" isn't one of them. It's a reaction that probably speak volumes about Obama's own ambivalence about this country.

Messengers of Peace Patch
Program Overview
Launched in September 2011, Messengers of Peace is a global initiative designed to inspire millions of young men and women in more than 220 countries and territories to work toward peace. Using state-of-the-art social media, the initiative lets Scouts from around the world share what they've done and inspire fellow Scouts to undertake similar efforts in their own communities. The initiative is inspired by the World Scout Committee, administered by the World Scout Bureau, and driven by youth volunteers worldwide.
Defining Peace
In terms of the MOP initiative, peace encompasses three dimensions:
- The personal dimension: harmony, justice, and equality
- The community dimension: peace as opposed to hostility or violent conflict
- Relationships between humankind and its environment: security, social and economic welfare, and relationship with the environment
Any Scout or Scouter who participates in a project that has had a significant impact on the community in any one of the three dimensions above can qualify as a Messenger of Peace.
Submitting Projects
Submitting MOP-related projects is easy for BSA units. All they need to do is check the Messengers of Peace box when entering a service project through the Journey to Excellence website (www.scouting.org/Awards/JourneyToExcellence).
Recognition Item
Any Scout or Scouter who participates in a qualifying project is eligible to wear a Messengers of Peace ring patch around the World Crest on his or her uniform. A unit representative can purchase these ring patches at a local Scout shop, council service center, or Scoutstuff.org.

Activist investor details changes it seeks for Office Depot
Activist investor Starboard Value filed a 100-plus page white paper with regulators Monday detailing what it thinks is wrong with Office Depot and proposed plans for "renewal and reinvigoration" of the Boca Raton-based company.
Office Depot has proposed to merge with Naperville, Illinois-based rival OfficeMax in an all-stock deal valued at $976 million.
The filing is part of an ongoing campaign to convince Office Depot stockholders to vote for Starboard-backed directors instead of the slate of directors proposed by Office Depot.
Starboard is one of Office Depot's largest shareholders with nearly 15 percent of the retailer's stock.
"Office Depot is losing its customers, relevancy, and viability as an office products and services retailer," Starboard Value said in the filing.
In response, Office Depot spokesman Brian Levine pointed to Office Depot's own securities filing in which it called Starboard's move to take control of the board disruptive at a time "when there is a clear need for efficient and focused execution of the merger process."
Office Depot said Starboard's "plan" is "not only deeply flawed, but threatens to undo much of the core operational improvements put in place."
Starboard said Office Depot, the nation's No. 2 office supply retailer, has under performed compared with No. 3 OfficeMax and Staples because management has not reduced spending enough to offset revenue declines. The private equity fund pointed to $160 million of information technology and finance expenses it said exceed the industry standard.
"Advertising expenses are excessive and inefficient," Starboard Value also said in the white paper.
Office Depot said Starboard's proposal to cut 60 percent of its IT budget and 50 percent of the finance budget would have a "severe impact" on daily operations.
"These are the kinds of ideas that would significantly set back the business and destroy much of the value inherent in the merger," Office Depot said in a filing on Friday.
Office Depot is losing market share to Staples, the industry leader, Starboard said. While Staples has gained 6 percent in market share since 2007, Office Depot's market share has declined 4 percent, according to Starboard.
Starboard urged more widespread cost-cutting, wants the company's advertising mix re-evaluated, and is pushing for stores to be converted to a medium-sized format.
Office Depot has been cutting its reliance on big-box stores since 2011, but chief executive Neil Austrian said during last week's earnings conference call the company had put the reductions on hold pending the merger.
Office Depot stockholders will meet in Boca Raton Aug. 21 for the company's annual meeting where they will elect directors.
Office Depot shares declined 3 cents Monday to $4.38.

Restaurant Review
Fine dining is always in season
Because I had to be out the door in 45 minutes, the hostess at Seasons recommended I sit at the dining room bar, where I took the bartender's recommendation on a Silver Coin margarita, and focused on the menu.
It helps to have a drink when looking at the Seasons menu—so you can adjust to the fact that, price-wise, this ain't no taco truck. And it's fun to sip something good while you read something interesting, and the Seasons menu is definitely that. Truffle-potato pie, bacon-walnut Brussels sprouts, roasted-garlic-port glaze—and that's just what comes with the blue-cheese crusted beef filet entrée.
I settled on a seared yellowfin tuna salad for starters and, remembering the oak-fired grill that had mesmerized me on my last visit, a dry-aged New York strip steak that I ordered rare, citing my tight schedule. The bartender suggested that the kitchen do both orders together.
Despite the hurry I was imposing on the scene, everything was chill. The dining room was full of flowers and happy people, several of whom briefly joined me at the bar while waiting for their tables. A couple celebrating their anniversary seemed disappointed that their only option was at the exhibition table, which faces the kitchen.
"The exhibition table is awesome," I assured them as I munched on crusty bread with a bowl of herbed vinaigrette.
Last visit, Shorty and I sat at the exhibition table with our backs to the bustling dining room. We watched as the pantry chef whipped out dish after dish of artistically plated appetizers, salads and desserts. Behind him flames flared up from a wood-fired grill where sizzling slabs of meat shared the hot grate with dented sauté pans.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the view from the exhibition table was the fluid teamwork of the staff. Information passed through the extended kitchen area via shouts and repeats like synapses between neurons, and the entire staff, including the servers, moved as one. As the different stages of our meal exited the kitchen, they were delivered by several servers, ensuring we never had to wait for anything.
The highlight from the exhibition table was a foie gras special served with mustard greens, cherries, aged balsamic and coarse salt. The component flavors could not have been more different, and the harmonic dissonance of their fatty, fruity, spicy and acidic juxtaposition was moving and new. Also memorable, if rich for my taste, was the three-cheese pecan-crusted relleno. I'm always interested in dishes that creatively use New Mexican ingredients, and restaurant kitchens would benefit from more New Mexico-grown pecans. Another highlight was the pile of mushrooms that came alongside Shorty's juicy sea scallops. Daringly large chunks of several varieties—including oyster, shiitake and chanterelles—were arranged into a pile of artful dishevelment.
The component flavors could not have been more different, and the harmonic dissonance of their fatty, fruity, spicy and acidic juxtaposition was moving and new.
I didn't have long to reminisce about that meal before my seared tuna arrived at the bar. Three pieces of flash-seared fish the size of large tomato slices lay alongside a perky salad—frisée, endive and other fancy greens, blood orange segments, crispy beet shards, and fennel slices—drizzled in a citrus-soy glaze. A bundle of sprouts on the salad was ribbon-tied by a thin curl of carrot. The fish had a Chinese five-spice rub, giving it a sweet and faintly exotic aroma. As with that foie gras, the hum of contrasts was striking.
When you order something rare at Seasons, be prepared for the consequences. My New York strip looked similar to my seared tuna in terms of the proportion of raw to cooked. A puddle of black pepper demi-glace and a pat of Worcestershire butter on top extended the tender meat's flavor in some nice, smoky directions, and the whole thing played off well with the velvety smooth Sterling Cabernet I was sipping. Roasted-garlic mashed potatoes and a skewer of perfectly al dente vegetables rounded out the mammoth plate, much of which I had to bring home in a box.
"Seven fifteen," cautioned the bartender as I ordered a slice of triple chocolate espresso cake—I had to be out the door in 10 minutes.
"Seven twenty-one," said the bartender as he handed me my check: $69.
For the price, Seasons is a place that most of us would reserve for special occasions. And when those occasions arise, you'll get your money's worth.

McDonald's likely coming to Moose
At the regular meeting fo the Moose Lake City Council on February 13, City Attorney Marguerite Doran presented a purchase agreement between the City of Moose Lake and Moose Lake School District for a 24 acre parcel of land fronting on Highway 73. A purchase price of $100,000 was agreed as the selling price.
The plan is for the land to be purchased by Land & Lease Development, LLC to begin development of the 24 acres. Land and Lease Development, LLC plans to begin groundbreaking for a McDonald's franchise by March 2013, with plans to open by this coming fall. The McDonald's is expected to offer employment to 60 personnel.
The city will develop a purchase agreement with Land and Lease Development, LLC that must be completed by February 28 or the original purchase agreement between the city and the school district will be void.
The council approved sale of the land from the Moose Lake School District to the city of Moose Lake. The council then approved the sale of the land to Land and Lease Development.
Flood update
A flood update was given by Moose Lake Police Department Flood Manager Tom Paull. Paull reported on the use of Flood Mitigation Funds from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). It was determined at the January council meeting that only homesteaded properties will be accepted for DNR Mitigation Funds. Non-homesteaded property owners were in attendance and requested the council reconsider allowing non-homesteaded property in Moose Lake to be eligible. They cited financial hardship as a result of the flood, and also pointed out they had previously been approved for the funds. Their request was voted by the council members, two for and two against. The motion for reconsideration was turned down.
City administrator search
The search for a new city administrator has resulted in 57 applicants. Springstead, Inc., the company assisting with the search, has narrowed the number to 16. Council members will review the resumes and narrow the selection to five or six finalists. Candidate presentation to the city council will take place on March 6 at 5 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Other business
The council approved the purchase of a plow truck for the price of $39,009.75.
The council approved a resolution in support of the city of Moose Lake's application to the Minnesota Deparment of Transportation for a Safe Routes to School infrastructure grant. The grant application will specify routes, which include :
– Birch Ave. from the North Road to school, connecting to existing sidewalk on school access across from 5th St., $161,000.
– 5th St., Arrowhead Lane to Douglas, $25,000.
– Widen existing sidewalk across front of school, $13,200.
– Bicycle/walking path to formalize route, $12,225.
– Cedar Ave., 3rd St. to 4th St., $22,000.
– 1st St., replace existing damaged concrete; $5,600.
Moose Lake Police Chief Bryce Bogenholm presented a request for the purchase of a new Dodge police package four door pickup for a squad. He pointed out that many of the departments are going to this type of vehicle as it is four-wheel drive and has a number of uses. He also requested a new camera for the squad car. The new camera has the ability to burn DVDs in the car instead of downloading them on a computer.

Weddings are wonderful events no matter where they take place. When couples commit to spending their lives together, it doesn't really matter if they take their vows in their own back yard or in their local church or temple. The important thing is that they make that commitment.
That said, Destination Weddings can be spectacular.
Couples are drawn to Destination Weddings because it's exciting to get married in beautiful or far away places. It can also be significantly easier to marry away from home. That's why many people choose to have their Weddings at Florida Bed and Breakfasts.
Destination Weddings tend to be smaller than weddings hosted close to home. Guests typically include a handful of friends and close family members. Details such as refreshments, photography, and flowers are often arranged by the Florida Bed and Breakfast innkeepers. The happy couple may have as much or as little input as they like.
This allows couples to rejoice in their marriage and enjoy their guests.
Destination Weddings in Florida may be held on the beach, in private gardens, and in luxurious Bed and Breakfast inns. They are the ideal way to begin a life together.
Please see Florida Weddings for a list of Florida Bed and Breakfasts specializing in weddings and elopements.

Radiation Therapy for Ovarian Cancer
Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or particles to kill cancer cells. These x-rays may be given in a procedure that is much like having a regular (diagnostic) x-ray. In the past radiation was used more often for ovarian cancer, at this time radiation therapy is only rarely used in this country as the main treatment for this cancer. It can be useful in treating areas of cancer spread.
External beam radiation therapy
In this procedure, radiation from a machine outside the body is focused on the cancer. This is the main type of radiation therapy used to treat ovarian cancer. Treatments are given 5 days a week for several weeks. Each treatment lasts only a few minutes and is similar to having a regular x-ray. As with a regular x-ray, the radiation passes through the skin and other tissues before it reaches the tumor. The actual time you are exposed to the radiation is very short, and most of the visit is spent getting precisely positioned so that the radiation is aimed accurately at the cancer.
Some common side effects include:
- Skin changes – the skin in the treated area may look and
feel sunburned or even blister and peel
- Fatigue (tiredness)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Vaginal irritation, sometimes with a discharge (if the pelvis is being treated)
These side effects improve after treatment is stopped. Skin changes gradually fade, and the skin returns to normal in 6 to 12 months.
If you are having side effects from radiation, discuss them with your cancer care team. There may be things you can do to obtain relief.
Radiation therapy also may be given as an implant of radioactive materials, called brachytherapy, placed near the cancer. This is rarely done for ovarian cancer.
Radioactive phosphorus
Radioactive phosphorus was used in the past, but is no longer part of the standard treatment for ovarian cancer. For this treatment, a solution of radioactive phosphorus is instilled into the abdomen. The solution gets into cancer cells lining the surface of the abdomen and kills them. It has few immediate side effects but can cause scarring of the intestine and lead to digestive problems, including bowel blockage.
More information on radiation therapy can be found in the radiation section of our website.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia's selectors need to show faith in their top six batsmen after undermining their confidence by chopping and changing the order during the recent Ashes series defeat, former captain Ricky Ponting has said.
Australia's 3-0 loss in England was marked by a string of calamitous batting collapses, as selectors dropped players and moved them up and down the order in a fruitless search for a winning formula.
With the first test of the return Ashes series starting in Brisbane next month, Ponting said there was no quick fix for Australia's woes and that selectors needed to decide on the nation's best batters and nurture them.
"I think everybody on the outside has been a little bit worried about what the next generation of players have got, particularly on the batting side of things," Ponting said in comments published by The Australian newspaper on Monday.
"Everyone acknowledges we have good depth of fast bowling, but where the next Michael Clarke is going to come from in the batting department is what everyone is concerned about.
"I don't think it is as bad as a lot of people might believe, I think they have just got to decide who the six best batters in the country are and I reckon they have got to back them for a while and try and release some of the pressure on the guys when they go out to bat.
"Take the last series by itself, Watto (Shane Watson) and Phil Hughes seemed to bat in every position in the order - that can't be good for the individuals or everyone else because if those guys are moving so is everyone else.
"The lack of stability and the lack of confidence that some of our players have been taking, not just into each game but into each innings they play, that doesn't make things any easier."
Australia's struggles, which included a dismal 4-0 test series loss away to India earlier this year, prompted former players and coaches to gather in Sydney last week to look at ways of solving the team's batting woes.
Ponting, a participant at the forum, backed Hughes and Usman Khawaja, who have struggled to convert their promise into consistent form at test level.
After scoring an unbeaten 81 in the first innings of the opening test at Nottingham, Hughes was dumped for the rest of the Ashes series after managing just two runs from his next three innings.
Recalled for the second test at Lord's, Khawaja scored a half-century in the second innings, but was dumped for the final test at The Oval after four consecutive failures.
"If the answer is not Hughes and not Khawaja and not those guys then what's going to happen?" Ponting said.
"If they don't pick them, those guys will go back to Sheffield Shield cricket, they will be the leading run scorers and will be the next ones picked again, because they are simply the best we have got and they have proved that over a period of years. That's my belief, anyway.
"The selectors have been looking for short-term fixes and that's not going to happen with this current group and it rarely happens in international sport or high-level sport," he said.
"The challenges for selection right now is picking guys who can actually improve while playing international cricket and the only way they can do that is if they are given a bit of assurance and a bit of love along the way."
The first test of the return Ashes series starts in Brisbane on November 21.

(11/24/10): Posted "The Divided Son" last night
Since we reached our 1,000th facebook fan milestone, we put up a demo of a song from the new album, previously referred to as TDS. This is the first time I actually mixed an entire Suspyre song; I used to sort of pre-mix stuff, then Rich would finish it up, so it was a big jump for me to do the whole thing. I've done lots of mixing before, but on much different music that didn't have much stuff going on. Just for posterity, I'll try to remember the process of how we recorded this song, and what actually didn't get changed when the mix was done.
- Drums: Recorded Gabe's playing with 15 mics originally, but by the end, it was much fewer. I wound up using two overheads, an occasional hi-hat mic during the more fancy hi-hat parts, at least three snare tracks (top, bottom, then another with a trigger on it for the crack-ier sound), three toms, and a few kick tracks (the main one is a trigger, then another track for the softer sections is another trigger sound, and there is also a natural kick sometimes).
- Bass: Sam just DIs Andrew's Carvin six-stringer and I apply the AmpegSVX plug-in. Simple and easy.
- Keyboards: April's keys were DId as well, but I also recorded a MIDI track just in case I wanted to run her playing through a softsynth as well. It wasn't necessary, since I really liked the sound of all of her patches. My piano sounds are way too epic; hers was lighter and more present and fit the song better. The synth sounds are sometimes a combination of patches; for the lead near the end I ran her patch through an amp-sim to give it some grit. Only the string parts were programmed; all the other synths were played, which is pretty much a first for Suspyre!
- Vocals: Clay sang into a Shure KSM44, like we used on the last couple albums, even though I have some nicer mics now. Verses are only single-tracked, but the choruses are triple-tracked and then there are about 6-8 harmony tracks. Lots of Clays, like always.
- Guitars: This was the experimental, yet stressful part. Andrew and I originally were going to play our respective parts through our respective amps. It sounded way too unbalanced. Ultimately, I got a DI Box and started tracking everything while capturing the clean signal as well. It also sped up the process when Andrew would borrow the DI box and track his parts at home, then bring his ENGL PowerBall to the studio and re-amp it in my live room.
- Clean guitars are my Ibanez JPM through a Mesa/Boogie TriAxis / 2:90 rig, miced with an SM57
- "Rhythm" distorted guitars are Andrew's Carvin through the ENGL, doubled with an Amplitubed track, and sometimes my Ibanez JPM doubling it through the Mesa. We used an SM57, a Royer 121, and an AKG 414, but I think I only kept the SM57 track for most of it
- "Lead" guitars were either Andrew's ENGL (the smoother and brighter tone) or my TriAxis (the grittier and darker tone)
- My solo is my custom Manne guitar through my Mesa rig.
The word "miced" means "to record with a microphone," not to throw a rodent at something. Hmm.

Lee Daniels' The Butler
PG-13; Forest Whitaker, David Banner, Mariah Carey, Alex Pettyfer, Oprah Winfrey, John Cusack, James Marsden. Based on a true story, Cecil Gaines served as a butler in the White House for eight terms, major events such as the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, and more, affecting his life. A seemingly amazing plot, great cast, and overarching historical theme, this movie should be a heartbreaker, comedy, and most of all a hit. 5 stars

USDA will schedule the signup for the average crop revenue election (ACRE) program in April as part of its plan to complete sign-up for the 2009 farm programs.
Sign-up for ACRE is expected to start in late April, with an official sign-up announcement to be made in the coming weeks. Producers can elect to enroll in the ACRE program at their FSA county offices after the sign-up period commences.
The ACRE program, authorized by the 2008 farm bill, provides eligible producers a state-level revenue guarantee, based on the five-year state Olympic average yield and the two-year national average price.
ACRE payments are made when both state and farm-level triggers are met. By participating in ACRE, producers elect to forgo counter-cyclical payments, receive a 20-percent reduction in direct payments and a 30-percent reduction in loan rates.
The decision to elect ACRE binds the farm to the program through the 2012 crop year, the last crop year covered by the 2008 Act.
For more information about ACRE, DCP and other price support programs, visit a FSA county office or go to http://www.fsa.usda.gov/.


text: Now that you're busy with all this, mind quoting interconnects switch latency? For example: If one of the cores c0 on our box is busy receiving a long message from a remote node in the network, a message that will take significant time, can it switch in between let go through a short message meant for c1, and if so what latency time does it take to receive it for c1? The switching between different cores is more important nowadays than the actual latency for a blocked read, as switching seems to be a very weak spot in most interconnects.

Cementing a Good Example - ACC Chandrapur Plant
ACC Cement Chandrapur Plant
ACC Cement Chandrapur Plant
ACC Limited's Chandrapur Plant located in Maharashtra has been considered as an environment-friendly plant. For ACC Help Chandrapur, the company had invested considerable resources to ensure highest standards in environmental management. The central control room has been designed as a Green Building, among the first Green Buildings that are functionally part of a manufacturing establishment.
The plant has been established in that location to contribute significantly to the growing market and to strengthen the presence of ACC Cement Plant in the region. One more reason behind establishing this mega plant in ACC Chandrapur District of Maharashtra - this would contribute to the economy of the state. This will boost the employment opportunities for the locals with assured incentives.
Maharashtra has always been at the forefront of industrial development and has provided superior infrastructure to industries like ACC Cement Maharashtra. Bringing this core project in the D Zone area is just another initiative of the Maharashtra government for its development.

Investors convinced China's currency is once again a one-way bet upward should think again: signs of slowing economic growth could cut short the yuan's rally.
Investors and companies have been pouring funds into China in recent months, helping send the yuan to a series of record highs.
Continue Reading Below
But with evidence of a slowdown mounting, investors thinking of joining the rush into yuan would do well to remember 2011 and 2012, when fears of a Chinese hard landing sent the yuan, or renminbi, tumbling.
"Does this herald a return to the old status quo of one-way FX appreciation? Our medium-term answer is 'no,'" Paul Mackel, head of Asian FX research for HSBC in Hong Kong, wrote in an April 14 note to clients. The latest inflows, he wrote, were driven by financial inflows, including speculators betting the yuan will rise. "These expectations could reverse in the future should the domestic and external environments change."
A Reuters analysis of official data indicates that $181 billion in so-called "hot money" portfolio investment flows entered China in the first three months of 2013.
And that estimate may understate the true figure, since it doesn't include those inflows that many economists suspect have been disguised as trade payments.
The inflows have helped push the yuan up 1.1 percent since April. Though hardly dramatic by the standards of freely floating currencies, most analysts began the year forecasting gains of only 1 to 2 percent in 2013.
China's foreign exchange regulator responded earlier this week with new rules aimed at plugging holes in China's capital controls that punters have exploited to bet on appreciation.
The new rules spooked China's currency market: yuan traded outside China, or offshore yuan, suffered their worst one-day drop in 15 months on May 6, while yuan traded in China's more regulated currency market, or onshore yuan, fell by the most since December. But the currency quickly recovered to scale new highs on May 8 and May 9.
China's problems with hot money put it among the many emerging economies coping with the frustrations of rapid capital inflows from the United States and Europe, where central banks have pushed interest rates to record lows in an effort to revive growth, sending domestic investors in search of higher returns abroad. That has sparked concerns of a global "currency war," with central banks cutting interest rates to help keep their own currencies from rising.
In the past week, central banks in Australia and South Korea surprised markets with rate cuts, and New Zealand's central bank said it had been selling its own currency to stem its rise.
While the yuan's own exchange rate was once fixed, in 2005 China began letting its value fluctuate around a set rate. With its trade surplus ballooning and its foreign exchange earnings soaring, the question was not whether the yuan would rise or fall, but how quickly authorities would let the currency rise.
In late 2011, as fears that China's credit-boom would burst and send the economy into a sharp "hard landing," the market got its first taste of downside risk.
Even the most pessimistic forecast would have left China growing at a rate most countries would envy, but the fear of a sharp Chinese slowdown was enough to spook investors and cause a sharp drop in a seemingly unshakeable market.
Chinese companies that had sold dollars short during years when the yuan was a one-way bet rushed to buy them back, helping to speed the yuan's decline. Onshore yuan fell 1.3 percent through the first seven months of 2012, the currency's first bout of sustained declines since China's modern foreign-exchange trading system was launched in 1994.
The yuan's tumble appeared for a time to have cured the market of its faith in the yuan's perpetual ascent. But in August 2012, the market shifted again. As fears of a euro zone break-up eased and China launched a mini-stimulus program to revive growth, investors' taste for yuan returned.
When the yuan began rising anew in the fourth quarter of 2012, companies that had accumulated large dollar holdings earlier in the year scrambled to sell them, accelerating the yuan's climb. By late November, when confidence in the recovery peaked, China's onshore foreign exchange market ground to a virtual halt, as dollar bids disappeared from the market, forcing the central bank to step in to buy dollars itself.
The central bank was still buying dollars in the early months of 2013. Balance of payments data shows that it bought $157 billion in the first quarter, the most since the fourth quarter of 2010.
"Non-FDI capital flows have returned to China on improved global risk sentiment and signs of stabilization on the Chinese economy," Wang Tao, head of China economic research at UBS in Beijing, wrote in late April, using an abbreviation for foreign direct investment.
Currency traders say China-based companies have also been "over-hedging" their dollar holdings by buying forward contracts for yuan, fuelling the yuan's rise. A Reuters analysis of yuan purchases by companies shows that China-based importers and exporters are now buying yuan at the fastest pace since 2010.
But even as Chinese companies and global investors lay ever-bigger bets on the yuan's rise, worries about China's economy are stirring, threatening a 2011-style correction. GDP grew at 7.7 percent in the first quarter, down from 7.9 percent in the last three months of 2012 and well below analysts' expectations of 8.0 percent. Industrial output and fixed-asset investment also disappointed.
Purchasing managers' indexes, which gauge economic activity, also suggest China's manufacturing and service sectors were still weak in April.
If such indicators continue to disappoint, a 2011-style correction may not be far behind. The latest regulations, which target fake trade invoicing used to convert excess dollars to yuan, are also likely to bring reported export growth down to levels economists view as more realistic, given weak external demand.
That could sap confidence in China's economy and its yuan.
"It's going to be quite difficult for the renminbi spot exchange rate to appreciate much in the short-term. We think the recent moves have slightly overshot,' said Robert Minnikin, senior foreign exchange strategist at Standard Chartered in Hong Kong. "The data is not super strong," he said. "If anything, there's a risk that we could see a bounce in dollar-CNY."
