- Paul MotoLite Linear Pull V Brake: Black (NEW)
Paul MotoLite Linear Pull V Brake: Black (NEW)
Product Description
These are designed for use with v-brake levers. These are my favorite rim brakes of all time. They are super easy to set up and adjust. The power and modulation are as good or better than most mechanical disc brakes or a lower end hydraulic disc brake, something no other linear pull brake can match.
From the manufacturer
All Motolite's have the capability of running a larger size wheel. In other words, the arms allow the pads to travel way up the arm so you could say, run a 650b or 700c wheel on a bike designed for 26"wheels.
This brake is 100% machined in-house, from 6061 Aluminum. Like all our brakes, these feature our over-sized sealed pivot sleeves machined to a tolerance of plus or minus one thousandths of an inch. And of course our independently adjustable square wire springs keep everything snappy and balanced.
The quick release mechanism is super simple and always reliable. Why doesn't everybody do it like this?
Yes, disc brakes are taking over. We're fine with that (ahem, Klampers), but if you want to keep things simple, avoid that inevitable disc noise, or have a classic Ritchey that's been hanging in the garage since the early 90's needing a makeover: these are the brakes for you.
Please note that all of our brakes are sold per wheel.
Brand new, no package
- Black
- One brake
- MSRP: $154 per brake

atherine sits at her easel, her face contorts in concentration. Paints blob her pallet; on her brush is large glob of rosy red. Her smock displays a hard life of many colors. Paint seems to find its way onto everything in her little studio—except the canvas. Her easel is a blank, cream-colored slate. Every so often Catherine extends the brush toward it, but she cannot bring herself to touch color to canvas.
It has been this way for months now. She makes time, sits in her little make-shift studio, and stares at the easel. Nothing comes of it. Almost a year has passed since she sold a piece, and even then it hadn't been for as much as she thought it was worth. She can feel her dream slipping through her fingers, dissolving like dust caught by the breeze.
Times are tough—Catherine has taken on a job. Since she isn't painting, she needs another means to pay rent. Now she works three times a week at a local art supply store, advising amateurs on paint mixing and brush types. She resents it, but the owner is an old friend, and he pays her a decent wage. He even offers to hang some of her paintings. They hang limply on the walls, gathering dust, unsold.
Despondently, she sits with a straight back before her blank easel. She dabs paint onto the brush, mixes it around, makes new colors, and mixes them with other colors. Creating colors is soothing: making something new, perhaps something never seen before. While working on blending the darkest shade of orange she could imagine, Catherine's phone jingles. She reaches out with a finger and slides the button on the screen, tapping the speaker.
"Hi Hon," she says in her coyest tone.
"Hey Kate," Harrison—Harry—has been Catherine's on again, off again boyfriend for nearly three years. They have a strange relationship built on mutual respect. Harry and she are on one of their up swings; things are good, they talk almost every day.
"I'm not going to be able to make it for dinner tonight," he says, his voice crackling through tinny speakers.
Catherine puts the pallet down and turns to address the phone, a habit she loves because it reminds her that technology is not reality. "Why?" she asks.
There is a pause, a moment that probably means nothing, but could mean everything, before Harry responds, "It's work, there's an emergency. I'm heading in to the office now. I don't know how long I'm going to be there." Another pause; heavier, longer. Catherine can hear blowing wind and traffic drifting across the phone line. "Maybe I can come by later? They can't expect me to stay all night."
With a sigh, Catherine picks up the phone and holds it closer, as if that might increase the intimacy. "I was really hoping to see you for dinner. Is it such a big deal that you can't blow them off?"
"Babe, you know I want to impress these guys" —Harry has recently passed the bar and is working for a prestigious law firm— "and I can't do that unless I'm willing to be there when they call."
The conversation is over. "Alright," she says, "I guess it's ok anyway. I'm painting today."
"Really?" he perks up; in the background a horn blares. "That's great Kate! Maybe when I'm out, you'll have something new for me to see?"
"Maybe," she says, glancing over at her deep shade of orange, "maybe. Anyway, call or text me before you head over, in case I fall asleep, ok?"
"Of course, see you later."
"Yup" and she pushes the little red button on the phone's face that says end, thinking how accurate that statement is. End, like their relationship when Harry realizes Kate doesn't paint anymore; end, like when Harry realizes he'd be happier with a nine-to-five soccer mom type; end, like the sudden, overwhelming urge Catherine can taste on the back of her tongue to go run screaming through the streets.
Instead, she goes to the medicine cabinet and pours out a dose of blue pills (the ones that calm her down), swallowing them with a mouthful of warm water. Then, still wearing her paint-stained smock, Catherine puts on water for tea. Her apartment has only a tiny kitchen and she hates it. In her last place, she had a full sized kitchen, decked out with a brand-new stove, a dishwasher, and enough counter space for her to experiment with various culinary concoctions. Now, Catherine only uses her kitchen when she has too—making tea and pouring milk over Cheerios, or making toast before work.
The water boils; Catherine pours a steaming measure into her chipped mug and stirs honey into her tea. Taking her drink into her equally-small living room, she opens the big windows that look out over the street. The second floor has its perks—she can open the full length windows wide and let the outside in without being completely exposed to the bustling street below. She sits there whenever the weather permits, watching traffic and pigeons, wishing herself to be someone else.
She clicks on the TV, channel surfing past boring dramas, meaningless sporting events, and news programs highlighting the dismal, self-destructive state of humanity. It disgusts her, makes her stomach sink into a tight ball of anger. Her hands begin to shake, spilling warm tea over the lip of her mug. Catherine can barely contain the desire to hurl the mug at the screen, to go out in the street and shake passersby until they see how frightfully meaningless their lives are, to scream her lungs out so the entire world might hear her dismay.
Thankfully, the pills are melting in her belly, numbing her senses. Her sudden rage ebbs, and with it the grey clouds that have begun to gather drift apart, revealing a glowing sun. She wonders to herself why she wasn't a cloud, or a pigeon, or anything else in the vast universe, why she is trapped in her mediocre body, with her imperfect skill-set and her unfulfilling life. Catherine likes the easing effect of the meds. The abrupt anger of a few moments ago upsets her, so she rises and goes to the medicine cabinet for a stronger dose. The little white ones (that are meant to ease anxiety, but really get her quite high) are what she's after.
Returning to her open windows, Catherine retrieves the teacup and swallows the rest in one long gulp. She loves tea, almost as much as she loves the soothing pills. The anger at the world of only a minute ago has completely passed. Her face cracking into a smile, Catherine leans out over the windowsill, breathing in the warm air.
A rugged smell slams into her nose. Like sour milk poured over road kill, the smell of a city, even a small one, is unavoidably unpleasant. The odor makes Catherine's face pucker, she leans out further, searching for the fresh smell of flowers and warm air, reaching for it like it has to be only a couple of inches farther from the building. She imagines pedestrians looking up, seeing a short, slightly overweight young woman with unruly black hair and a stained smock leaning over the edge of her window. She imagines just pushing off with her toes, letting go with her fingertips, slipping her knees gently over the edge, caressing the air with her body, tumbling, sliding, and wafting down. All the while in search of that clean smell, the smell of summer and happiness that she knows is out there.
Pulling herself from the window, Catherine decides that the blue pills and the white pills interact nicely, and that she feels rather well. The wave of despondence passes; her self-pity is but a soft whisper, barely audible. She picks up the empty tea mug and takes it back into the kitchen to brew another cup. Absently, she clicks on the little radio on the bookshelf and tunes it to the local public radio station.
The steaming water poured over another tea ball, Catherine takes her cup back into her studio. With all her paintings sold or in storage, the room looks deathly white and sad. Catherine draws back a heavy cloth and pulls open the window, letting some light gush in. A gentle breeze makes the drop cloths sway, giving the entire room an eerie appearance of life.
Something is happening; Catherine sips her tea and then sets it on the little end table next to her favorite lamp and a paperback she's been reading for months. Something is happening; Catherine can feel something in her guts that reminds her of inspiration. Her dissatisfaction—with herself and all of humanity and everything—is twisting together with the gentle chemical ease saturating her senses. Something is happening; she's sure of it, can taste it like the gentle lemon flavor of her tea.
She takes up the pallet and grimaces at the now dry blob of dark orange; it is not what she hoped at all. Nevertheless, Catherine isn't dissuaded, her body is electric, her mind a razor. Something is happening. The cool breeze lifts her and she spins, uncontrollably, wonderfully, toward her easel. She can see the shade of orange she was aiming for earlier; see it as plain as the sky out the window. A vision, a new world, a shade of orange like none imagined before, fills her mind.
The day drifts by. Catherine sips her cooling tea and dabs paint onto the canvas without noticing the intruding darkness, the ringing of her phone, the soft tapping at her door. The radio plays from the living room, dismayed voices, crackling and full of fear. None of these sounds, these clues from the outside world, intrude upon her. Catherine is absolute Zen, she is the center, she is everything and nothing; and it is perfect. Catherine paints, patiently, unblinking, for hours.
When she does finally stop, setting her brush and palette down, screwing the tops back on the tubes of paint, the sun is eking up over the rooftops, running bright shafts in through the still-open window. A strange smell creeps in with it, something like burnt leather.
Catherine blinks and stretches—her mind races back to her. Like a runner colliding with an unseen wall, reality grips her, squeezes her, until she cannot deny it any longer. She realizes with a start that it is morning, that her phone has been making noise on and off all night, that she definitely heard someone—probably Harry—at her door many hours ago, and most important of all, that she has to pee quite badly.
Stumbling on cramped legs into the bathroom, Catherine relieves herself. On her way out of the bathroom, she clicks off the radio as a newscaster prattles on about a battle, a war raging in some foreign land. Catherine is too happy about her painting to worry about any of that.
She goes into the kitchen and puts on coffee, and then she goes back into her studio to find her phone. The battery is nearly dead, so she plugs it in and stands near the wall outlet while scrolling through the unacknowledged messages from the night before: 10:43 pm – done work, heading over; 11:04 pm – at your door, want to let me in?; 11:06 pm – called you, where are you?; 11:07 pm – What the hell Kate, I can see lights on…and so on. Harry left her ten messages, three missed calls and two voicemails.
Oddly, she also has a couple of calls from her mother, her aunt, and her sister. She doesn't bother listening to any of them, she just deletes them and sends Harry a simple reply: Sorry. Painting. She hopes he'll understand, but really, she doesn't care if he does.
Because Catherine has discovered something, found herself within herself, found her paint again. It's not the same, not the giddy high of creation she once felt when her hand poured out the vision of the world she couldn't contain. Her past work was often simplistic, often appreciated for its refinement more than its statement. She was capable, proficient, but uninspired. Now, inspiration courses through her. She feels great.
Cradling a steaming mug of coffee, Catherine draws a bath, taking another little white pill to help her keep feeling good. She's tired now, the long night and exertion catching up with her. The bath is perfect—temperate, soft, the bubbles forming a glaze over the surface of the water, cocooning her, making her safe and clean. She runs a wet hand through her hair and pulls the mess back into a ponytail.
It's then that it occurs to Catherine: she doesn't know what she painted! She made it, swirled the colors, stroked the canvas, churned the fire within herself, and poured it out as a work of art. But she cannot recall anything specific about it. The exact content, the sum of the parts, the "thing" that she has made, it is a mystery to her. This thought startles her. Catherine has always worked with such control, such grace, knowing precisely what she hoped to accomplish with each piece she painted. But this work, whatever form it has taken, is an enigma to her.
She leaps out of the tub, splashing soapy water all over the linoleum, and runs naked through her apartment. Sudsy footprints mark her passage across the living room carpet, she grabs at the sliding door that separates the studio. Inside, the studio is more of a wreck than she'd expected. Fresh paint stains the drop clothes. All the paint tubes are jumbled on the floor around her stool. The palette is a disaster. It's utterly ruined; she'll never be able to use it again. So much paint is on it, in varying states of dryness, that it'd be a waste to even try scraping it clean.
And then there's the canvas. It's…Catherine can't even imagine the words. "Woo," she mutters, dripping on the carpet.
The painting, really, is nothing special. Good technique, smart strokes, well-proportioned lines—it's the color use that has Catherine standing frozen before her work. The shades are bright and vibrant, like the glow of morning sun on dew-wet grass, or the perfect full moon on a clear summer night. She has achieved that deep, dark shade of orange—the darkest she's ever seen—just like she had been trying for. And the whole thing has a certain spinning quality to it, like a person looking into the sky and twirling around and around until they are dizzy.
Catherine likes this thought: dizzy, dark orange.
Her phone begins ringing from the other room, but Catherine feels the beginnings of further inspiration. It starts at the base of her spine and tingles its way up to her neck, sweat dampening her forehead. The phone continues to ring, a distant lullaby.
The trance breaks as suddenly as it began. Catherine is unsure how much time has passed. The light seeping in through the windows is dimmer, closer to the center of the sky. The carpet around her is wet, she is nearly dry. Insistent banging and shouting knifes into her mind. She snaps around, walking purposefully out of the studio and retrieving a robe.
Harry is at the door, banging, calling for her. She sighs and carries her cold coffee mug to the door with her.
"Jesus Kate, were you ever going to answer you phone?" Harry is disheveled, tense. He looks like he hasn't slept.
Catherine shrugs and shakes her head, standing aside to let him in. Harry brushes past her and stands, towering before her, his face blanched and angry. "Why haven't you been answering?"
"I," she starts and stops, sipping her coffee. Cautious movements always calm Harry down. She sits, huddling the robe over her legs. "I was painting. I sent you a message."
Harry drops his shoulders and plunks down into the easy chair. "You were painting? Fuck Kate, do you have any idea what's been happening? You picked the most incredible time to decide to drop off the face of the earth. I can't even…"
Catherine stops listening, jumping up and spilling her remaining coffee. It runs down her robe and onto the carpet, but she doesn't care.
"You have to see it!"
Harry screws his eyes up, furrowing his brows deeply. "See it? Kate you aren't listening!"
She grabs his sleeves, pulling him up. "No you're not listening! I painted Harry! And not only that, but it's beautiful, it's incredible! You have to see the colors!"
Dragging him, pulling him by his sleeves, Catherine guides Harry toward the studio.
"Kate, really, I'm glad you're painting, but you aren't listening to me. The world, some crazy stuff happened last night. I can't believe you didn't hear."
"Hear what," she mumbles absently, opening the studio door and gesturing toward her masterpiece. "Look!"
Harry, shaking his head, steps into the studio, but rather than look at her work of genius, he turns to Catherine and puts his hands on her arms, making her look at him.
"Kate, listen to me," he shakes her gently, "listen, we shouldn't even be here. Dear, the world…the world is burning, love. No one knows what happened, but governments, military; something happened over in the Middle East and Asia. Bombs going off, hell Kate, the western half of America." Tears well in his eyes, Harry's jaw is trembling. Catherine doesn't understand why he's so upset.
"Harry," she coos, "look."
Suddenly, he's angry. "Goddam it Kate! I don't give a shit about your stupid painting! You aren't listening! Millions of people are dead! Millions! The world is going to war! Who cares about the fucking painting? The world is on fire!"
Catherine, a bright smile on her face, turns Harry toward her painting.
"I know," she says, gesturing toward the easel.

With the first half of its GNAC schedule coming to a close, Azusa Pacific stands a chance to separate itself from the rest of the conference this week.

Azusa Pacific was quite dominant in the win over the Clan, finishing with 479 yards of total offense while limiting SFU to 193 yards of total offense and -31 yards rushing. The Cougars finished with six passing touchdowns, tying the GNAC single game record.
Western Oregon, meanwhile, is coming off its biggest conference win in some time as the Wolves held on for a 48-42 win at Humboldt State. The Wolves benefitted from a big game for running back Malik Braxton, who finished with 191 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries.

We are a generation of softies.
Probably the weakest, both mentally and physically of all the generations that have ever existed. We take pride in sleeping late and partying for days on end. 'Pizza is life', according to the internet and it's cool to say 'I am dead inside'. All of life's battles are fought on the keyboard and, somehow, working overtime is called 'working hard'. Celebrating obesity is 'body love' and you'll be crucified online if you simply advise someone to lose weight.
Now, take off your shirt and stand in front of the mirror. If you don't like what you see, you are a part of 'this generation'. While we were trying to be cool, what was actually going on is that we were disrespecting our bodies. One overtime to another, parties topped by after-parties, we ruined the one thing that mattered the most. We know it but we are too soft to come to terms with it. Dealing with reality is called being offended in 2017.
It's astounding to see how willing people are to get ripped off by buying bunk fitness products. Just promise them weight loss and they'll even buy packaged tap water. Corporations know how the desperation to get fit is rising and they are laughing their way to the bank by using this knowledge. They are selling you garbage in the name of health. That skinny tea, the detox meal replacement, slim sauna belts and that 'fat melting' herb discovered in the Himalayas - just for you. We are being fooled every day but we just love it, don't we? What we ignore is the fact that most of these things are a meticulously knitted setup to rob us blind.

We love the sweet talking brands shower us with. We close our eyes to the importance of exercise, nutrition and most importantly, patience. Why? Because stuffing our mouths with a supposed 'fat loss' food is easier than picking up weights and counting calories. We want fitness trackers to help us move, apps to remind us to drink water and treadmills to make us walk. You see, all this is very easy and very gratifying. Simply put, we believe things that sound easy.

It's the age of the internet and everybody is ill-informed. So is the 'body love' brigade. How hard is it to understand that being comfortable in your skin and nearing bad health because of ugly eating habits and excess body fat are two very different things? Obese people gorging on tubs of ice cream is cool till the time they do it in the confines of their homes. But when you make a video of it and put it online, don't get mad when people call you out for what they see. While the obese should be encouraged and told to get better, what they are told is that nearing diabetes is fine. It is 'body love'. Now you tell me where we went wrong.
© Pixabay
A magazine claims rock hard muscles in 20 days, an obviously 'on the juice' athlete claims natural muscle gains and an ill-informed YouTuber gets on a steroid cycle. The muscle gain market is on fire and steroids are the fuel. The race to looking ripped is fiercer than ever. Young men are pushing themselves themselves, drawing inspiration from their Instagram fitness models. 2 months into a gym regime and talks about 'gear' starts to get to the heads. Everybody wants quick results - diet and training doesn't matter and the high from steroids is addictive. There's no coming back, but the shortcut is alluring.
© Pixabay
Take a break from all this jazz and think about it. How much time did it take you to get fat? How long have you compromised on your wellbeing for? The answer is, a long, long time. Then, how can you expect to get better in a jiffy? How can you expect food to come through and 'burn fat' while you park your ass on a couch? It doesn't make any sense. Corporations are manufacturing these products but they are not selling them to you at gunpoint, are they? You are buying them. You are responsible. It's about time you realized that and got your shit together because no one else is going to do it for you.

Fugal Composition : A Guide to the Study of Bach's '48' (Contributions to the Study of Music and Dance)
Price:9297 rub.
Book Summary:
Book DescriptionEminently readable despite the complexity of its subject, this book guides the reader in studying the 48 fugues of the composer's Well-Tempered Clavier.

Meanwhile, the volume's editor supplies comparative analyses using current and previous scholarship on every fugue illustrating where the author supports or challenges other viewpoints. In all, the analyses contained here establish the extraordinary diversity of Bach's fugal style in such a way that reader and researcher alike gain a new understanding of these significant and beautiful works of music.

In Twitter Spat, Assemblywoman Niou Tells off Airbnb Over Rising Rents and Displacement
It was a moment to sit back and grab popcorn. Savage. Watching in real time as New York Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou (65th District) took Airbnb to task. Openly on Twitter.
Media reports over the last week have publicized City Comptroller Scott Stringer's controversial study showing a direct relationship between Airbnb influx and rising rents around the city, but gentrifying neighborhoods like the Lower East Side, in particular. According to Stringer's findings, Airbnb's influence cost New Yorkers $616 million in additional rent in 2016 as a result of the added price pressures.
Check out the snippy exchange between Assemblywoman Niou and Airbnb head of New York public policy Josh Meltzer below. You'll note her reference to displaced tenants of 85 Bowery who were forced to dumpster dive after their landlord, Joseph Betesh, discarded personal belongings curbside.
With all due respect, we support a bill that protects responsible hosts while providing data to the City. MoA Joe Lentol has introduced. We would be happy to bring hosts from your district to your office to explain how the bill is good for NYC families/neighborhoods.
— Josh Meltzer (@josh_meltzer) May 7, 2018
With all due respect, @airbnb is welcome to come dig in the dumpsters with me for my constituents belongings next time another person gets displaced thanks to your company. https://t.co/BnR5yrbfil
— Yuh-Line Niou (@yuhline) May 7, 2018
So first, make money by letting landlords put up illegal listings which drive up housing cost. Then, when housing is too expensive to stay in, tell tenants a good way to make rent is to put up legal listings to stay in their homes. There are terms for this. Progressive is not one https://t.co/JiTkifXSMh
— Yuh-Line Niou (@yuhline) May 7, 2018
With all due respect @josh_meltzer, we are not talking about rooms being rented out in homes. The crisis is landlords who have kicked people out, eliminated rent stab /control apts to set up short term rentals, & residents creating transient communities & instability via @Airbnb
— LES Dwellers (@LESdwellers) May 7, 2018
Do you support legislation that puts the onus and responsibility for that on your platform/service?
Unless you do, "self policing" and regulations that slap the wrists of devious landlords is a rather disingenuous response.
— Adam Lawrence (@madaecnerwal) May 7, 2018
Read the timelines (with replies) of @yuhline, @LESdwellers, and @AirbnbCitizen public policy rep in New York @josh_meltzer from today. Let's do a townhall with @NYCComptroller. We want answers and accountability.

NASSAU, New York – A New York grand jury indicted more than a dozen alleged members of MS-13 with the help of law enforcement in our area.
Bedford Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance attended a news conference in New York Thursday where the charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder were announced for 17 alleged gang members and associates accused of killing a teen with a machete.
These arrests are the result of a seven-month investigation that spanned from the New York area to Virginia, Maryland and overseas.
The charges were the direct result of months of cooperation and information sharing with several agencies, including the Bedford County Sheriff's Office, the Lynchburg Police Department and Virginia State Police.
"This is one of the biggest takedowns we've had in this office certainly but more importantly this investigation has given us information we didn't have before. The investigation definitely revealed that MS-13 has expanded its reach internationally," said Nassau District Attorney Madeline Singas.
MS-13 has been linked to violent crime in our area.
Investigators say three members of the gang's "sailors clique," Lasandro Vasquez, Cristian Sanchez-Gomez and Kevin Soto-Bonilla, were brought from Maryland to Bedford County to meet up with Victor Rodas and Jose Coreas-Ventura.
All five are charged in connection to the March 2017 murder of 17-year-old Raymond Wood and are currently awaiting trial.

$params needs more detail for ConfigOptions to use with UpdateClientProduct
Currently, $params contains Configurable Options indexed by String name, but to update them with UpdateClientProduct you need the database IDs. Please make $params contain all necessary data in the first place, so we don't have to fiddle with the database.
Currently (example):
[configoptions] => Array
[Operating System] => Ubuntu 16.04
This proposes an expansion of the configoptions element in $params to include all relevant IDs to use with UpdateClientProduct:
Base64 encoded serialized array of configurable option field values - base64_encode(serialize(array(configoptionid => dropdownoptionid, XXX => array('optionid' => YYY, 'qty' => ZZZ)))) - XXX is the ID of the configurable option - YYY is the optionid found in tblhostingconfigoption.optionid - ZZZ is the quantity you want to use for that option

Rob Bell to Make Prototype Debut at Petit Le Mans
24th September 2009
This weekend one of the biggest sportscar endurances races in American motorsport takes place with the 2009 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta circuit in Georgia, USA. British racing driver Rob Bell will return with the Drayson racing team in the American Le Mans Series and will make his debut in a Le Mans Prototype car. Bell joins the Drayson team and its regular drivers Paul Drayson and Jonny Cocker for this event and they will be behind the wheel of the team's new LMP1 Lola sportscar.
Bell raced earlier in the ALMS season for the Drayson Racing team at Sebring, Florida when they were running their more familiar 007 GT2 Aston Martin Vantage. This weekend will see the team debut their as yet unraced Lola prototype for the first time, and the trio of drivers will take on the might of Audi and Peugeot in the LMP1 category. The Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta will also be an unknown quantity for Bell as he has never raced at this circuit prior to this weekend.
Bell commented about the weekend's race, "I'm really looking forward to going out there and seeing what we can do with the LMP1 car. The team has had very little time with the car prior to this weekend, so we know we'll be going out there to do almost an extended test session and get to grips with everything, as well as competing in one of the most exciting sportcar endurance events. As a racer, I will be expecting to be competitive, and this Lola-Judd LMP1 specification has already proven itself in this year's Le Mans Series."
"For me it's a fantastic opportunity to have the chance to race a prototype, being my first outing in the category. I'm much more familiar with the slower GT2 cars, but I have plenty of endurance racing experience, so the traffic and other factors shouldn't be an issue. I've never been to Road Atlanta before either, so I'm really looking forward to the challenge which lies ahead. I unfortunately missed out on the testing over the weekend due to my FIA GT commitments, but Jamie Cambell-Walter stepped in and the team are pleased with the car's performance which bodes well for the weekend.
"I'm so grateful to Paul (Drayson) and team manager Dale (White) for giving me this chance, they both have great racing experience and I'm sure we can go out there and have a strong race."
Free practice takes place on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th September with qualifying on Friday 25th. The start of the Petit Le Mans (1000 miles or 10 hours) will be given on Saturday afternoon of 26th September.

Paul Sausser Has a Criminal Past
Paul Sausser, who now runs Sausser Farms, served jail time and paid restitution for a 2002 criminal conviction for writing bad checks in Pennsylvania.
After serving 3 months in jail, a judge sentenced him to 3 years probation, and the prosecution agreed to drop other charges that included "theft of services and theft by deception."
He violated probation in 2006 when he failed to pay restitution, fines and court costs of $16,967, and he was sentenced to another 3 years probation.
As usual, he had an excuse – it was due to a messy divorce.
His probation ended in November 2009, and he bought the farm in Phenix, VA in December 2009.
His occupation in Pennsylvania was listed as a home builder, but he advertises himself as a 3rd generation farmer here.
How does that work? My grandfather was a farmer. If I decide to become a farmer, does that make me a 3rd generation farmer?
The Roanoke Times has the story.

Murphy USA Stays Resilient Despite Hurricane Impacts
EL DORADO, Ark. — The operations of Murphy USA Inc. were significantly impacted by hurricanes during the third quarter of 2017, but the company bounced back as quickly as possible, President and CEO Andrew Clyde reported during the company's Nov. 2 earnings call.
During Hurricane Harvey, Murphy USA closed approximately 80 stores, most of which reopened within five days with minimal damage. The retailer was better prepared for Hurricane Irma and reopened all stores within four days.
Clyde credited Murphy's "culture of safety" for determining when it was safe for employees to return.
"Third-quarter results were impacted by the severity and devastation wrought by hurricanes Harvey and Irma, yet the resilience of our people and business model was evident in the quarterly results," he said. "Our first priority was to help ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, who not only persevered during these crises, but remained eager and engaged to reopen stores for our customers as soon as possible, as we retained 100 percent of our store managers and assistant managers."
Still, during and after the storms, Murphy USA locations saw a noticeable lack of demand and lower customer traffic.
For Q3 2017, Murphy USA's net income was $67.9 million, compared to $45.5 million in Q3 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was $147.4 million, up from $105.3 million a year ago.
Net income, earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA during Q3 2017 were all above the previous year's levels due to higher total margin contribution from both fuel and merchandise, the company stated.
Total fuel contributions increased 6.6 percent during the quarter despite a 5.5-percent decrease in total network retail gallons sold, primarily due to hurricane-related impacts.
On the merchandise side, total merchandise sales rose 1.1 percent to $605.6 million during Q3 2017, up from $599 million the previous year, with margins increasing to 16.1 percent vs. 16 percent, respectively.
"While per-store metrics were negatively impacted from both a fuel volume and merchandise perspective, once prices had reached equilibrium following the refinery shutdowns, the retreat in wholesale prices contributed to a robust margin environment in September, which helped offset a period of negative margins as Harvey made landfall," Clyde said.
Murphy USA also continued its path of organic growth during the third quarter, opening 12 new stores for a total of 1,432 retail locations. This includes 1,154 Murphy USA sites and 269 Murphy Express sites. Nine new-to-industry stores have opened since the end of the quarter.
Five raze-and-rebuild stores opened during the quarter and one has opened since it ended. More raze-and-rebuilds are planned, with some likely to open in 2018. Currently, 23 locations are under construction.
"As we exit the third quarter, the industry and our business are showing signs of returning to normalized operations and overcoming significant logistical challenges throughout the month of September and into October," Clyde said. "Wholesale gasoline and diesel product flows resumed in both the storm-impacted areas and adjacent regions that incurred extended fuel supply outages, consumer demand returned, and the citizens of Texas and Florida began the process of rebuilding."

Riders are their own breed, always have been. Whether the open road is your playground or mounds of dirt and 50 foot jumps, your bike is your way of life and the gear you wear on it needs to fit your lifestyle. For those of us that ride, you'll know that the gear you need for when you're on your bike has to be special. Your boots need to be just a bit tougher than most, your gloves strong enough to win a fight against asphalt and your motorcycle goggles and sunglasses a mixture of style, versatility and comfort. Those three elements are key when it comes to riders choosing their next pair of motorcycle glasses and here's a better explanation why they need each one of them.
Riders need their motorcycle glasses to be able to perform many functions, whether it be to just protect their eyes from the sun, shelter them from freezing rain or snow or just to shield them from the drying factors of the wind. Glasses and goggles like those made by Pugs gear fit these standards to a tee, providing riders with gear that not only provide excellent UV protection but also allow their users the freedom of wearing them for many different occasions and uses while on the road during any part of the year.
If you're going to be on your bike for long periods of time the last thing you're going to want on you is a pair of uncomfortable motorcycle goggles or glasses. You need a pair that fits perfectly on your head, with comfortable nose and ear pieces and a cushioning barrier around the frame to make sure your sunglasses will stay put comfortably during your ride. Instead of wearing sunglasses with poor quality nose pieces that let the wind and weather get to your eyes, take a look at some of these items from Pugs gear that look to protect your eyes from all the elements while still providing you with the highest comfort possible.
Riders don't need rhinestones or gaudy designs. They don't need huge brand logos or flashy colors. They just need something simple and tough, because that's all riding really is. Simple color schemes, sleek designs and a bold look are the only things needed when considering a pair of motorcycle goggles. Motorcycle glasses are meant to provide comfort and versatility fist and style last because to a biker, protecting their eyes from the elements in any condition is much more important that looking good on the road.
Just like anyone else looking for a pair of new shades, motorcycle riders have a list of qualifiers when it comes to picking out the right pair of sunglasses or goggles. The open road or dirt track is an unforgiving place and because of that, riders need a set of shades that can handle anything. They need to be versatile enough to take on whatever challenge is thrown their way, during any part of the year. They need to be comfortable enough to where the rider might forget they're even on their face while still protecting his/her eyes from the dangers on the road. After those critical elements are taken care of, these motorcycle goggles need to have the right kind of style to fit a rider's easy going lifestyle. Leave the flashy frames at home and keep the rhinestones to yourself when you're looking for a pair of riding glasses! Be sure to take a look at some of our motorcycle glasses and goggles and see for yourself why Pugs gear and riders were made for each other.

I wish the Yankees were the kind of team that had fun nicknames based on superheroes because there are games when I'd like to refer to a pitcher as such. And with all the constant rotation, there's enough superheroes in either of the main two comic book universes to lend itself to every single player on the Yankees in recent years. (If you don't believe me, google it or ask your local teenager. And you can blame my recent superhero movie marathon this weekend for my mental road trip.)
Anyway, even without any special nicknames, the Yankees seem to take advantage of the low-season of the Angels in tonight's middle game of the series. One reporter put it rather succinctly: "So, the Angels are just not good." But Luis Cessa certainly was. Cessa threw 85 pitches into the 7th inning, giving up just 3 hits and a walk and striking out 5 Angels batters. For being a rookie, he's certainly having a rather strong season. Now with the starting rotation depleted with injuries and unexpected career slumps, it's nice to be able to have kids like Cessa step up and do well.
Clippard and Layne covered the 7th and 8th innings, respectively and kept the Angels scoreless for two more innings. In fact, the Angels had an interesting streak — going 17 innings without scoring a run. (Their last run scored was the 3-inning 8th against the Mariners on Thursday night.) But that was snapped when Dellin Betances threw his first pitch to one of the legends on the Angels' roster (Pujols) who promptly sent it deep into the left field seats (and tied with 90's legend Mark McGwire on the all-time homers list at 583). Then Betances shut the next 3 batters down in 14 pitches.
On the flip side, the Yankees' offense took control early on and never let go, thanks to Cessa and company. In the 1st inning, with 2 outs, Gary Sanchez hit his 6th home run of his career (and the season), a solo shot to left field to get the Yankees on the board. Then Didi singled and moved to 3rd on Castro's double to put them in scoring position. Which was extremely helpful as Brian McCann's single easily scored both of them.
The Yankees came back in the 6th, down 2 outs. Castro and McCann each singled, putting them on the corners. And then Brian McCann stole his first base of the season. Yes, you read that right: McCann stole 2nd and not on a passed ball or wild pitch. Both runners then scored on Aaron Judge's single.
Final score: 5-1 Yankees.
Okay, I got to brag a little on the defense in tonight's game — like Didi Gregorius lying out flat to make a great catch in the 5th, Gary Sanchez's quick reaction in the 6th to nab out a runner headed back to 1st with the help of tonight's 1st baseman Tyler Austin, and the most talked about Brett Gardner practically sitting on the outfield fence to rob the batter in the 7th inning of a home run.
And it does help to play in what is essentially "Yankee Stadium West". There are a ton of Yankee fans on the Left Coast, and many of them in the LA area. So when the Yankees come into town, there is a large contingency of Yankee fans that populate Angel Stadium. So when the Yankees do something good, you could almost imagine you might be in home territory with all the cheering from the 44,129 fans.
One more game there tomorrow afternoon as the Yankees go for the sweep before heading up the coast to Seattle. Seattle sits ahead of the Yankees on Wild Card standings, currently at 3 games ahead of the Yankees. So the Yankees are looking to close that gap or even flip it in these next 4 games. It's going to be a tight squeeze these next 40 games before the end of the season, but the Yankees, as Gary Sanchez said on Twitter today, are in it to win it.
"Experts" say we @Yankees have no chance to make the playoffs…well we may just be young and naive enough to disagree. #NotGivingUp
— Gary Sanchez (@ElGarySanchez) August 20, 2016
Go Yankees!

Starward Rogue:XML - Tutorial Definitions
Each .xml file in the Configuration/Tutorials/ directory is parsed, and each child of the root node is read as a separate tutorial.
Each of those nodes will have 1 or more "phase" nodes, and each phase corresponds to a single room that is run in a way very similar to a test chamber
main nodes
- name
- the internal name the game will remember this tutorial by; if someone beats the tutorial and this name is later changed, the game will think it's a new (unbeaten) tutorial
- display_name
- the name that will be shown on the tutorial list to the player
- end_message
- the message shown to the player when this entire tutorial is successfully completed
tutorial sub-node type: phase
- starting_message
- the message shown to the player when this phase is started
- this also shows on the escape menu's bottom-right info block during this phase
phase sub-node type: room
The contents of this node (between the > and the <, so not including the attributes and the tag itself) will be parsed as a test chamber script when the phase is started
Since the parsing doesn't happen until later, those contents will not be error-checked during the loading of the game
The script attribute must refer to a room whose type has RoomEntranceStyle.NSEW, WidthOnMap = 1, and HeightOnMap = 1. So Starting, Square, etc. If another room type is used it may work, or it may leave you stranded in doors that don't exist, or whatever.
- name (string, required)
- used by room_connection to identify which rooms are being connected
- x_offset_from_first_room (int), y_offset_from_first_room (int)
- the position of the room relative to the first room; so 1,0 is directly east of the first room, 0,-1 is directly north of the first room, etc
- if two rooms are supposed to be connected, they must be cardinally adjacent (no diagonals)
- these are always 0,0 for the first room, even if you specify otherwise
room sub-node type: message
There are up to eight different tutorial pads in a tutorial room, and the first message corresponds to the first pad, and so on (which one is the "first" pad, etc, is defined by the room script).
- text (string, required)
- the tooltip text to display while the player is on the corresponding tutorial pad
- voice (string, required)
- the name of the voice file (in the Voice/ directory) to play when the player first steps onto the corresponding tutorial pad since loading (if they save and load within the tutorial, then step back onto one, they'll get the voice again)
phase sub-node type: room_connection
- first_room_name (string, required), second_room_name (string, required)
- the names of the two rooms to connect; they must be cardinally adjacent

(Handbill by George Hunter)
One notable day in January of 1968, while living in the isolated, un-hip town where I attempted to grow up, Yakima, WA, I found a Seattle newspaper in the employee lunchroom at my job. While I was scanning it, a blurb in the weekend section caught my eye. It was a preview of what sounded like a great Eagles Auditorium concert in Seattle, one which would happen in just a few days: San Francisco's Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service would trade sets, while Jerry Abrams' stunning Headlights presented an accompanying light show. I called my best friend Karl Baker, and we immediately agreed to go to this show. We had heard about both bands, but we weren't familiar with their material. We just instinctively knew it would be the show, and we had to go. In those times, one could buy a ticket to a big show on the day-of. And that was our plan. Back then, there were no worries about ordering tickets months in advance.
(Karl, in front of his bus)
On the morning of the big show, Karl picked me up in his late-50's VW bus, which we had spent months lovingly restoring. The bus, newly-painted fire engine red (we were very specific with the paint shop: fire engine red), sported a white top and bumpers. It was a rolling work of art. It stood out in Yakima like, well, two young guys with long hair. Considering the occasion, you could say it was a true Dead Sled. For we were taking to the road to see the Grateful Dead!
Blessed with good traveling weather for January, we had a wonderful drive through the awe-inspiring Ellensburg Canyon, over the Cascade Mountains, and on into Seattle. We spied a beautiful, old hotel that looked promising, called The Mayflower, and got ourselves a room. [Note about the Mayflower photos: I took them in 2/2018. The old hotel, now called Mayflower Park Hotel, is as fab as ever. I doubt I could afford a room now!]
We then walked through the busy downtown Seattle streets to the Eagles, having to ask directions a couple of times, as we had never seen the Eagles. When we arrived at the beautiful old building, we were each given a handbill, designed by George Hunter, advertising the concert. (I kept that handbill for years and years, but sadly, before I came to realize that "all of this" was going to be of some significance in the future, I mindlessly tossed it one day.) We were happy, but not surprised, to see that tickets were still available, and we each scored one for under $5 apiece. Karl said, "Well, now we have to get some weed". There just happened to be hippies everywhere (unlike in Yakima)! So after inquiring of four or so people, we wound up buying some weed, offered to us in an old cottage cheese container, for about $2. Karl had been introduced to marijuana smoking in 1967 at Shimer College in Illinois, and was used to getting stoned. I, on the other hand, had never been stoned. I had sampled some wild (roadside) Illinois weed Karl brought back from Shimer, but I had failed to achieve liftoff.
We took our purchase back to our hotel, stashed it and went to Ivar's Acres Of Clams for dinner. There was no Ivar's in Yakima. Walking down to the waterfront and ordering Ivar's fish and chips was a super-rare event (my parents and Ivar were good friends in the 40's, so it was ironic that I was deprived of his fare).
After our tasty Seattle feast, we returned to our hotel room. Re: The Mayflower, it was an aging but still beautiful hotel. This was pre-restoration; but it was to me, fabulous – nothing like anything I'd seen back home. We then did what any careful, small town kids would do: we plugged up the space between the door and the floor with Mayflower Hotel bath towels. Then Karl rolled a big fatty. — Never mind that his Illinois weed previously failed to get me high; this stuff worked. I was high, for the first time in my life. There was no doubt in my mind. There was a lot in my mind, but no doubt. And Karl was obviously feeling quite grand. We were set! So we proceeded to walk, or rather "float" from the hotel to the Eagles.
When we walked into the building, we had a trippy journey up the ramp that led to the auditorium. Somewhere along the ramp, perhaps at a landing, cool hippie people were selling incense for about ten cents a stick. The atmosphere was, as they say, that of a carnival. We walked in, found ourselves a place on the floor, and I tell you: we spent the next several hours in another world! The music– the lights — the people — the beautiful ballroom — the fragrance of ten varieties of incense being burned simultaneously: it was all too much. Overwhelming, mind-bending and life-changing. I'd never seen nor heard such a thing. The truly psychedelic guitar playing was the best ever. I mean ever. As for the light show? I had never experienced a light show, so to encounter Jerry Abrams' Headlights was incredible. And remember: I was stoned for the first time in my life!
I danced with hippie girls under the strobe and black lights. The songs seemed to be a half-hour long. I alternated between dancing, and just lying on the floor, letting the entire scene soak into my little Yakima brain. As I say, the experience was transformational. But, after several hours, Karl and I looked at each other and said, "Let's go". Our cups were profoundly overflowing. More was not needed. More would be too much! So we left the crazy crowd, the lights, the pounding psychedelic music behind, and returned to our waiting room. Getting the key back from the desk clerk was difficult. (Yes, we were so naive that we turned in the key every time we came and went.) We were still so very high, and dealing with a figure of authority (the desk clerk) took great effort.
After a good night's sleep, we checked out (making sure to return our key to the front desk!), and ravenously ate a huge breakfast at a downtown eatery. Then we traveled home to Eastern Washington, arriving as changed individuals.
Now, the kicker: Karl and I were so green, so new to the scene, so unfamiliar with both bands, that, while at the show, we never did know who was the Grateful Dead, and who was Quicksilver Messenger Service.

ITV's new TV show Dance, Dance, Dance kicked off with over 4 million viewers at the start of this month with the brand new series celebrating the most iconic pop video and dance movie sequences of all time.
On a truly epic scale celebrities, together with a partner of their choice, will reimagine dance performances audiences will know and love.
Hosted by Alesha Dixon and Will Best the series will employ amazing state of the art special effects to re-enact legendary routines from Michael Jackson's Bad and Madonna's Vogue to Beyoncé's Crazy in Love and Britney Spears' Baby One More Time.
This week, the competition heats up as the second elimination takes place: Another celeb will NOT be back to dance again next weekend.
Alesha and Will return to host as the dancing duos recreate iconic pop and movie performances including Beyonce.
The couples will each dance one routine together before one half of each pair performs solo for the second time this series.

LAHORE: Cold-bitten people Sunday queued for hours at CNG filling stations in a bid to get their vehicles filled with cheap fuel as gas pumps were allowed to open only for 24 hours in a week.
The miseries of the masses already multiplied due to unannounced strike being observed by the members of All Pakistan CNG Association against what they called flawed pricing formula of the CNG.
Most of the filling stations in the provincial metropolis continued to close down despite green signal given by the Sui Northern Pipelines about opening the pumps on Sunday. The SNGPL has also failed to manage available resources, leaving people in immense helpless situation.
As per new gas load management plan, filling pumps in Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sahiwal, Multan, Gujranwala and Gujrat regions would be opened on Sunday only, while in Faisalabad, Sargodha, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Bahawalpur, gas supply would be restored on Wednesday only. As usual, gas supply for industry has been shut for indefinite period.
INP adds: Meanwhile, most of the CNG stations in Lahore region remained closed even on the seventh day (Sunday), following consecutive six-day holidays under gas load management program.
Motorists and vehicle owners said they could not afford to run their automobiles on petrol and were forced to go through the ordeals in their efforts to get their CNG cylinders filled. The SNGPL officials said the CNG stations would again be closed as per gas management schedule from Monday morning 6 AM.
The CNG stations in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad also remained closed on Sunday, the day when they were scheduled to reopen after three days break. Motorists had lined up at different stations but the owners did not open causing a lot of discontentment among the waiting people.
