The bridge was up for a vote recently, and passed 5-2. Well, really it passed 4-3, but one of the opponents voted for it in order to be allowed to bring it up for another vote in January, when new council members will be seated and the balance will tip the other way. You can read about it in the Press Democrat here.
Regardless of the "political shenanigans" - cancelling this project is just a bad idea. And I don't believe any talk of "It's a recession, this is a bad time". US 101 from Rohnert Park to Windsor has been under construction throughout the entire recession, none of these guys have gone into hysterics asking to delay portions of the project. "It's a recession, this is a bad time" is code for "Here is my excuse to delay it so hopefully it will go away".
This whole thing is very disappointing to me. Sonoma County is a very progressive area and a great place for recreational cycling. As a general rule it is also a good place for transportational cycling, with some good infrastructure in place. One of the thorniest spots is crossing 101 in Santa Rosa (don't get me started on trying to figure out how to get past Petaluma with any sort of rational ease). There are some crazy people out in the hills, but mostly very bike friendly. They certainly love the money that comes from all the people who come for the events - Wine Country Century, Levi's Grand Fondo, Vineman Triathlon. Santa Rosa has hosted the Amgen Tour of California every year since the event started.
So I fired off the following letter to the Santa Rosa City Council. Even if all of your bike rides start with taking your bike off of the roof of your car, you should care about this. The same mindset that is trying to kill this bridge is why there is a cop camped out at 84/Canada in Woodside or Camino Alto and Blithedale in Mill Valley, ticketing cyclists for rolling a right turn at a stop sign while motorists do the same and get ignored. If you're on a bike, you don't count. Though we will take your money, thanks!
Feel free to drop a line to the following people supporting this bridge and expressing you will support nearby places with a little more sense... like for example This Friendly Burg
firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com
Dear Santa Rosa City Council -
While I am not one of your constituents, I would like to express my dismay at the rumored demise of the project for the bike bridge over US-101 at SRJC. I am frequently in Santa Rosa with my bike and your city can be tough to navigate due to the configuration of 101 - I typically cross on Bicentennial to get to the Piner Road Golden Gate Transit bus stop, and that crossing is not for the faint of heart - I fortunately have a strong heart and quick reflexes.
Others who choose to bike around your city - primarily your residents - may not be as bold as I am, and the proposed bridge would make your city a much safer and enjoyable place for all, but especially pedestrians and cyclists needing to make a crossing in that area.
What dismays me most about this possibility is this. I am a San Francisco resident and the owner of a Vacation Rental property in Healdsburg. I have invested a lot of time and money buildi ng a business and our primary constituency - a very lucrative one - is recreational cyclists. It is not uncommon for our guests to request that we try to get them a reservation at Cyrus in Healdsburg, and also to ask for other destinations, and we frequently send them to downtown Santa Rosa and Railroad Square. We also patronize these businesses ourselves - LoCoco's has fueled many a ride on Kings Ridge.
I do as much as I can to promote Sonoma County as a destination for cyclists nationwide, and as you probably can tell, I pale in comparison to your constituent Mr. Leipheimer. This population brings a lot of money into Sonoma County and I am a big flag waver in San Francisco and the Peninsula to ship that money into your county.
While I will continue to do so, if you are so short-sighted as to kill this invaluable project, I will have to recommend to my guests that they bypass your city. I will tell the 100's of friends that go to Levi's Grand Fondo, the Wine Country Century, and dozens of other cycling events, that they should stay, shop, and eat in Healdsburg or Windsor. The triathletes participating in Vineman should eat in Sebastopol. If Santa Rosa is hostile to cyclists, cyclists should not give Santa Rosa our money. Maybe Amgen is on to something.
Transportational cycling in Santa Rosa can more of a cycling challenge than Kings Ridge Road. That's a shame. You have the power to do something to fix that. I urge those of you against this project to reconsider your position.
Thank You
John Murphy - San Francisco/Healdsburg

MIAMI, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- David Beckham will exercise an option to form a Major League Soccer expansion and will put the franchise in Miami, the league said Wednesday.
The ownership led by Beckham next must work with MLS and local officials in south Florida to put together a deal for a new soccer stadium.
Beckham obtained the right to form an expansion team when he joined the Los Angeles Galaxy as an MLS "designated player" in 2007. He played in the league for six seasons.
"We appreciate all that David has done as a player, an ambassador and as a global icon to help grow Major League Soccer," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said. "We are thrilled that he will be an owner and we look forward to him helping us achieve our goal of being one of the top soccer leagues in the world."
"From the beginning of my career in England to today in Miami, my journey has always been driven by my incredible passion for the game," Beckham said.
"Miami is a vibrant, diverse community that thrives on the same type of energy that fuels the international appeal of soccer, and I look forward to a dedicated, long-term partnership with this dynamic city and Major League Soccer."
MLS currently has 19 teams with expansion franchises scheduled to begin play in New York and Orlando, Fla., in 2015. The league previously announced expansion plans to reach 24 teams by 2020.

Local leaders of the Victims of Mill Tailings Exposure (VMTE) were elated last week to receive an additional $381,000 in federal funding. This money, along with funds already received, and an application for another grant next year, will go a long way toward the goal of screening everyone who has ever lived in Monticello and surrounding areas for cancer. Senators Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett were instrumental in obtaining this new funding.
A display of 257 portraits of local people who presently have cancer or who have died of cancer was placed in the Monticello Post Office the week of March 16-20.
The VMTE Committee has identified 16 others since the display was made. In all, a total of 533 present and former residents now have had cancer or have died of cancer. That is several times higher than cancer rates in most areas of the country.
What this funding means is that anyone who lived in the Monticello area between l941 and 2000 can go to the State Health Deptartment Office in the San Juan County Courthouse in Monticello and, after proving residency during at least a few of those years, receive a voucher.
The voucher holder may then receive a complete screening at the San Juan Hospital. The screening will ascertain whether or not the voucher bearer has any symptoms of cancer through extensive blood work and other tests.
Early detection makes a huge difference in cancer cure and survival rates. Everyone is encouraged to get the testing done. All costs associated with screenings are paid by the federal funds already received and promised in the future.
The VMTE group has worked tirelessly for years to get the Federal Government to admit that there is a relationship between the abnormally high cancer rates in Monticello and the Uranium-Vanadium Mill which operated in Monticello from l941 until l960. There were 903,000 tons of radioactive tailings left uncovered on 40 acres at the south city limits of Monticello after the mill closed.
During the 19 years of operation, the mill discharged thousands of tons of radioactive materials, poisonous gases, chemicals, heavy metals from a large smoke stack which spewed 2,600 pounds of contaminants daily. The prevailing south winds scattered the residues across the community. People complained for years at the corrosion of chrome on their cars, fencing, aluminum windows, galvanized roofs and clotheslines, as well as the clothes hanging on the line.
In l960, Monticello residents experienced a rash of leukemia deaths, including four children. Not until 1986 was the mill site added to the nation's list of contaminated sites.
Beginning in 1992, a $200 million dollar federally financed cleanup of the mill site and 425 private properties in and around Monticello was begun. By 2000, the last of the contaminated tailings were relocated to a massive, lined disposal pit to the south of the original mill site.
While Monticello has paid a huge price for it's involvement with early radioactive materials, the community can also be very proud of the enormous contribution the town made to winning World War II and the Cold War. The mill in Monticello is the only one the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) owned. Much of the U-238 necessary to build the bombs, and other strategic weapons which won the war, came from Monticello.
It is the hope of many in Monticello that eventually there will be built on the old mill site a history of Monticello's role in the Atomic Age and a memorial for the citizens who died as a result.
The VMTE Committee and Monticello Citizens hope outsiders who might think of living in this area will realize that the cleanup is a decade old; that Monticello has some of the cleanest ambient air in the nation, and compared to other areas, the air and environment is much cleaner here. DOE testing at the site will be ongoing for years to insure that the area remains clean.

Cured free-range ham from Extremadura
Cured free-range ham © Turismo de Cáceres
One of the great treasures in the food store of Spain are the Iberian cured hams, among which the cured ham from the Extremadura meadow lands, protected under the Denomination of Origin, stands out.
The Ham is obtained exclusively from pure Iberian pigs or crosses with at least 75% Iberian blood and no more than 25% from the Duroc-Jersey breed. The production of the Shoulders and Hams under this Denomination begins with a classification of the pieces obtained from the slaughtered animals. Rear legs under 6 kg and front legs under 4 kg are discarded. Following a careful process whose phases include salting, washing, settling and drying, the ham undergoes a curing and ageing process, which lasts for over one year. Their shape is long and slender, with weights of at least 4.5% for the hams and 3.5 for the shoulders. Its colour varies from pink to purplish-red, with fat marbling, and its flavour and aroma are characteristic, delicate and slightly salty. This delicacy is best enjoyed without any accompaniment that could mask its flavour.
- 産品の種類: Meat
- シーズン: Year-round.
- 産地: The production area comprises the oak and cork tree-filled meadows in the provinces of Caceres and Badajoz. The production and curing area comprises 40 towns in Badajoz and 45 in Caceres, in the mountainous regions of Southwest Badajoz, Ibor-Villuercas, Cáceres-Gredos Sur, Sierra Montánchez and Sierra de San Pedro.
- お勧めの飲み物: Reserva or gran reserva red wines and finos or manzanilla.
- 購入場所: Cured Ham from the Extremadura Meadow Lands is available essentially in any speciality shop, supermarket, hypermarket, and butcher's on the Peninsula, but it is sold especially in the provinces of Extremadura.

Today is the last day with our daycare provider. I'm a bit sad about it. Jeremy is relieved.
I worry that Annmarie's transition to a new place is going to be tough. She obviously loves our current lady (we'll call her Sarah). She smiles everytime she sees her. And sarah clearly loves Annmarie. Apparently she gives off the kidnapper vibe to Jeremy.
We switched providers because Sarah moved. We commuted back and forth for a bit but it was a NIGHTMARE with traffic. Then, in a strange turn of events, Sarah left her husband and moved out of the house. She dropped the other family she was providing daycare for and offered to come to our home for the remainder of the month (partly out of obligation and partly because she loves Annmarie).
She's been operating as a nanny of sorts and it has been great. I feel a little bad because she's only charging us her daycare rates (and nannies make MUCH MUCH more). She was supposed to pick up a new family in mid-October and was going to offer them the same temporary nanny deal. Then the family pitched doing a nanny share (but they weren't willing to pay typical nanny rates). She had asked if we'd consider hiring her but we cannot afford what she should be paid. But oy – do I feel bad.
Because her personal life is sort of falling apart, Jeremy really just wants to switch to a more "stable" daycare.
I worry for Sarah because she is now unemployed, going through a divorce and essentially homeless (she's temporarily staying with her grandmother). Most people think it strange that I'm so concerned for her – but I think it has to do with the fact that she's asian.
Is this crazy? I talked this over with one of my half-asian friends and she agreed that she tends to favor/sympathize with asians more so than with any other race.
UGH – I think when she leaves the house today, there will be tears. And I will feel terrible (like I've somehow abandoned one of my people).
But on a happier note, check out Annmarie. She's a frickin' genius! Only (nearly) 8 months old and can already use an iPad…
Okay not really. We downloaded some kiddie fish app that has fish floating around on the screen and if you touch them, it tells you what color the fish is then switches to a new fish. Annmarie just likes trying to "grab" the fish. So maybe she's not a genius since she doesn't realize she can't physically grab the fish? Or perhaps that makes her a mega-genius?

With the biggest month of the year only weeks away, most smart club operators have already planned how to ensure January is not just a good month but a great month. They have found that December is the time to re-energize their staff, evaluate the past year and prepare for the January rush.
Although January's influx of new members may seem automatic, it is crucial that club owners prepare themselves to make it happen, not just watch it happen. The difference between an average month and a great month in January can determine how profitable you will be for the entire year. The secrets are preparation, planning and being proactive.
Unfortunately, guest traffic in most clubs has dwindled in the past few months compared to previous years. What has caused the drop in traffic? Is a higher volume of competition causing the low response to marketing? Are people too stressed by the pressure-cooker that we live in today to even think about joining a club? Or is it the fact that at least 50 percent of health club members fail to achieve their desired goals let alone stick with a regular exercise program?
Your salespeople rely a lot on face-to-face contacts with people. That's why proper training is important. You should ensure that every time they meet someone, they are sincerely interested in learning who they are, what they do and whether or not they can be of service to them. That's especially important in January when the high number of new members can make each of them feel insignificant and unimportant.
The people who join your club at the beginning of the new year often are people who have not been comfortable with the thought of exercising. It is crucial to your business' success that you and your staff make every prospective member feel welcome and comfortable, and that you show you are more interested in their health than in getting their money. Potential members are too intelligent to fall for manipulative tricks, but they will respond to a sincere desire to find out how your club and its services can benefit them.
Take the month of December to re-evaluate your last 12 months. What did you accomplish? Did you achieve your sales goals each month? For the months you did achieve your goals, what did you do right? For the months that you felt the club should have or could have achieved more, what would you change, and what would you like to remain the same?
In 2007, most clubs relied on a few traditional marketing ideas that just don't seem to work the way they used to. Do you have a list of 100 prospecting ideas? Make lists for sales, fitness retention and budgets. Remember, if you keep on doing the same things, you are going to get the same results. Read some articles, and get some fresh ideas. Don't be afraid to try some different strategies.
Don't forget about your team. Most successful organizations, not just clubs, re-invest in their employees. They take the time to see where their staff members are and what paths they want them to take in the coming year.
Most of all, be committed. Commitment can lead you to remarkable results. One of the great myths of top performance and big success is that it's all about motivation. While motivation is important, motivation is temporary. Success in anything demands the constant of commitment. Commitment is stronger than motivation. But before you can commit to anyone or anything, you must believe. Walt Disney once said, "When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably." I couldn't agree more.

Special Flag Decorations
|— BSA "Insignia Guide" (No. 33066, 2009-10 Edition)
Heraldic notes
|NOTICE: The following section contains editorial content, and does not reflect the official policies of the BSA.
The following is strictly my personal interpretation of the precedence and application of the above rules (in line with heraldic terms/customs):
- Flag emblem.
- Nothing ever takes precedence over a flag emblem... not even decorations; nothing ever covers a flag emblem.
- Decorations.
- Decorations take precedence over everything, except the flag emblem.
Decorations of different types are treated with equal precedence. (Placement criteria for each "type" of decoration usually prevents one type from interfering with another.)
Gold stars do not cover the veteran insignia (or, vice versa); you simply place the gold star in the next available position.
- Strictly open to interpretation... While I personally do not recommend this, depending on the layout of your particular unit's flag lettering, you may be able to avoid covering some flag lettering with gold stars... if you can still maintain the appearance of proportionate spacing between the gold stars.
- Upper field.
- No part of any gold star is ever placed in any part of the "upper field" (top half) of the flag. While not explained above, when the insignia guide is properly followed (which, is in accordance with heraldic customs), no part of any decoration "memorializing the dead" is ever placed in any part of the "upper field" of any flag... BSA, or otherwise.
- Flag lettering.
- Flag lettering is not a decoration, or part of a flag emblem.

LICENCE: By using the fonts (the Fonts) provided by Quadrat Communications (Quadrat), you are agreeing to abide by the terms of this Licence Agreement (this Licence) between you and Quadrat. You should read it carefully, as your agreement to its terms will be presumed. If you do not understand the terms of this Licence, you should review it with a lawyer. This Licence will be enforceable just like any written agreement signed by you. If you are not in agreement with terms of this Licence, you must immediately delete all of the Fonts from all Workstations and any Output Sites (as those terms are defined below), and a full refund will be given.1. Grant of Rights: Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Licence, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Fonts for an indefinite period of time. You do not own the Fonts. Ownership of the Fonts and all intellectual property rights relating thereto remains with Quadrat. You simply have permission to use them, subject to certain terms and conditions. The other terms and conditions of this Licence are as follows:2. Permitted Workstations: You may use the Fonts on as many Workstations as your receipt, which must be attached hereto as Schedule A, indicates that you have paid for, as long as all such Workstations are within a single business or residential premises (Primary Location). In the absence of a receipt being attached as Schedule A, you will be deemed to have not paid for this Licence, and your use of the Fonts is strictly prohibited.3. Definition of Workstation: A Workstation is a single computer, and any peripherals such as printers and monitors, that relate specifically to that computer. You may count a portable computer as a licensed Workstation if such portable computer is regularly used at the Primary Location.4. Output Site: The Fonts may also be used at a single Output Site. An Output Site is a service or business located outside the Primary Location which is used for high resolution or other types of output which cannot be accomplished at the Primary Location. Use of the Fonts at an Output Site may be in addition to the number of Workstations authorized under this Licence, but the Fonts must be immediately and fully removed from the Output Site upon the completion of the work for which they are required.5. Network Server: If you use a network server, you may install the Fonts on that network server, provided that such network server will be counted as one of the licensed workstations, and must be located at the Primary Location. The total number of Workstations which are connected to the server and using the Fonts may not exceed the number of Workstations that you have paid for, as evidenced by your receipt attached hereto, less one, to account for the network server installation.6. Total Workstations: You may use the Fonts in any of their supplied formats, but the total number of Workstations with all formats combined may not exceed the number of Workstations that you have paid for, as evidenced by your receipt attached hereto. You may use the Fonts on any appropriate computing platforms.7. Modifications: You may modify the Fonts, provided that any modifications that you make to the Fonts are governed by the terms of this Licence, including but not limited to the restrictions on their use and distribution, and provided that all copyright and other intellectual property rights in any modifications to the Fonts will be owned exclusively by Quadrat.8. Embedding: Embedding of the Fonts in other documents is expressly prohibited, except to the extent permitted by the Fonts as provided. Any alterations to the Fonts to allow a greater level of embedding is a breach of this Licence and will result in, among other things, the immediate termination of same.9. Single Copy Only: You may make a single copy of the Fonts for archival purposes. No other copying of the Fonts is permitted.10. Unauthorized Use: All rights not expressly granted to you in this Licence are expressly reserved to Quadrat, and any use of the Fonts that is not expressly authorized by this Licence is a breach of this Licence, and Quadrat will be entitled to take immediate action to rectify such breach.11. Licence and Fonts Not Assignable: This Licence is personal to you, and you may not assign or sublicense this Licence or any rights under this Licence, or otherwise transfer or distribute the Fonts, or any copy or modified form of any Fonts, to any other person or business unless such other person or business agrees to be bound by the terms of this Licence and you first delete all copies of the Fonts in your possession. You must advise Quadrat immediately of any such assignment.12. No Use Without Payment: If Quadrat discovers that you are using the Fonts without remitting the appropriate payment for same, you will forthwith be required to remit the payment required for such use, at twice the then-current licence cost.13. Termination: This Licence will terminate immediately upon any breach of the terms and conditions of same. Following any termination of this Licence, you must immediately delete all copies of the Fonts from all Workstations and any Output Sites and any other location in your possession or under your control.14. Remedies for Breach of Licence: You hereby agree that monetary damages are insufficient to compensate Quadrat for any breach of this Licence. You agree that irreparable harm would accrue to Quadrat in the event of such breach. If this Licence is breached in any way, Quadrat will have the immediate right to seek an injunction to stop such breach, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable rights and remedies that it may have. 15. Intellectual Property Rights: The Fonts and any copies that you are authorized by Quadrat to make are the copyrighted material, intellectual property of and are owned exclusively by Quadrat throughout the world. The structure, organization and code of the Fonts are the valuable trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information of Quadrat. The Fonts are protected by copyright. You may not copy the Fonts. You will not acquire any rights, express or implied, in the Fonts other than those expressly set out in this Licence.16. Intellectual Property Notices: You may not delete or change any copyright or trademark notice that accompanies the Fonts, and no other copyright or trademark notice may accompany the Fonts, or any modified form of the Fonts.17. Limitation of Liability: You agree to use the Fonts at your own risk. This software is provided on an as is basis. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the proper hardware and safeguards in place to properly use the Fonts. Except as expressly set out elsewhere in this Licence, there are no express or implied representations, warranties or conditions of any kind in respect of the Fonts or the services provided by Quadrat. Further, Quadrat will not be liable to you or any other person or business for any indirect, special or consequential damages related to this Licence. Quadrat's entire liability under this Licence for damages from any cause whatsoever, at law or by statute, regardless of the form or cause of action, will not exceed the total amount actually paid by you to Quadrat pursuant to this Licence in the six (6) months immediately prior to your damages or loss.18. Currency: Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in lawful Canadian currency.19. Taxes: In addition to the fees payable for the Fonts set out elsewhere on this website, you will pay to Quadrat all taxes payable by you pursuant to this Licence.20. Infringement Indemnity: You will defend and indemnify Quadrat with respect to all damages, costs, fees, judgments and other expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Quadrat arising from any breach by you of this Licence, provided that Quadrat must notify you in writing within thirty (30) days of any such claim.21.

Add details to your models, toppers, sugar flowers and much more with the Food Art Pen by Rainbow Dust.
Much easier than using a brush to hand paint, the Food Art Pen will save you so much time when decorating models and sugar flowers.
The Food Art Pen comes with two nibs for precision decorating. The thicker nib can be used for decorating larger areas with blocks of colour or for outlining larger text as well as a wide range of other applications and the thinner nib is best for much finer detail, such as facial features on a model or topper and adding final details to sugar flowers.
Due to a specially formulated 'food ink', Rainbow dust have made a pen that works equally well in the fine nib as well as the larger nib so you can be assured of a quality finish no matter which end you are using.
The thick nib measures 2.5mm and the fine nib measures 0.5mm.
Please be aware that with regular use on sugar and florist paste, sugar particles can sometimes be absorbed into the nib of the ink, causing it to clog. To rectify this, simply dip the nib into warm water to melt and release the sugar particles, wipe dry and begin to use again and your pen will work as good as new.
Rainbow Dust's range of food art pens are:
• Kosher Certified.
• Suitable for vegans
Not suitable for use on chocolate.
Ingredients: Water, Glycerine, Ethanol, Colours: E122, E133.
Warning: E122 may have adverse effect on activity and attention in children.
Contains 5g

Before Barack Obama, have we ever had a president who divided the country for political gain; who pitted some Americans against others; and who tried to scapegoat unpopular groups of Americans for his own failures? Yes. It was Franklin Roosevelt. But that doesn't excuse Obama's reprehensible practice of the politics of division. Michael Ramirez editorializes:

The New Smaller & Lighter Sony PlayStation 3
Big news from Sony PlayStation – the launch of the new smaller & lighter PS3, unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show press conference this morning. Available in two forms: 500GB (for gamers) on September 28th, and (the family friendly) 12GB on October 12th.
The PS3 has had a makeover – reduced in size yet again, the contours are slicker, the shape more seductive. What the console now lacks in size, it makes up for in entertainment offerings across film, catch up TV services, music and of course, video gaming that everyone can enjoy.
The post The New Smaller & Lighter Sony PlayStation 3 appeared first on 8&9 Clothing Co..

Kingston has a good name among Apple resellers. With this in mind we looked through the company's catalogue. This 4GB USB flash drive stood out, with its generous capacity in a small format. The same casing is used by Kingston right down to their 256MB models and is lightweight with ribbed grips on the sides.
Unfortunately, its Travelsafe software, for password protecting and encrypting data, is not Mac compatible. It's hard to find any flash drives that come with Mac security software in the box.
Transferring data with the drive is plug-and-play as you would expect, though this drive is slower than the Sony drive on this page when connected to a highspeed USB port. That probably won't bother you much, though: it's almost as expensive as a 30GB iPod, which can also be used as a data hub, making it a very hard sell. James Ellerbeck

Gov. Rick Perry's top competitor for Tea Party votes came in first in a Rasmussen poll released today measuring presidential choices among Iowa's likely caucus participants.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann garnered 22 percent of the vote, just slightly ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney who earned 21 percent. Rep. Ron Paul, Lake Jackson, received 16 percent, followed Perry with 12 percent. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was the last candidate to receive double-digit support, with 11 percent of respondents selecting him as their candidate of choice.
Just 7 percent of respondents said they would prefer another candidate — down from 69 percent of respondents who said they were open to supporting another candidate in a June Des Moines Register Iowa Poll.
A notable 72 percent of the Iowa Caucus participants said they could still change their mind before the Ames Straw Poll Saturday. This means the results could be vastly different if a candidate makes inroads with voters this week or if candidates — Romney has decided to skip the event and Perry has yet to confirm his attendance and is not on the ballot — do not have a large presence at the state fair.
Bachmann was also the most popular candidate among potential caucus-goers, the poll found. Seventy percent said they had a favorable opinion of her and 37 percent they had a very favorable opinion – the highest of any candidate.
Romney had 62 percent rate him favorably, followed by Pawlenty at 61 percent , Paul at 58 percent and Perry at 50 percent.
The poll found that Perry was the least well-known of the Republican candidates, with 19 percent of respondents saying they had no opinion of him. His late entrance into the race will likely be a hindrance to his camp during the early months of the campaign. His competitors have been on the national stage meeting voters since early spring and Perry, while well-known in the South, will need to work to build a national brand.
The survey was good news for Paul, who has campaigned intensely in Iowa in the weeks leading up to Saturday's straw poll and apparently has made some inroads among rank-and-file Republicans.
Rasmussen Reports surveyed 627 likely Iowa Republican caucus goers. The poll was taken on Aug. 4 and has a sampling error of +/- 4 percentage points. Rasmussen surveys have historically skewed toward Republican candidates.

Travel and shopping. They're like two peas in a pod. Most people want a great souvenir to bring home from a trip abroad. Not only is it a great conversation starter, but it brings back memories of your adventure.
I came across a few helpful articles about shopping when traveling that I thought I would share with you today.
For the bargain hunter in all of us, Frommer's lists the "World's Best Cities for Bargain Shopping." It's complete with the names of places to shop and gives you an idea about how much items should cost. Some of the cities are part of Friendly Planet tours, including Buenos Aires, Argentina; Hoi An, Vietnam; Shanghai, China; and Bangkok, Thailand.
In addition to Frommer's list, Conde Nast Traveler highlights the wonderful shopping in Marrakech, Morocco and Jaipur, India this month, two other cities Friendly Planet can bring you to. It reminds readers that Marrakech offers fashion in the form of art. Through a beautiful profile of a city that is in the midst of a renaissance, you'll discover why a mosaic of colors and intricate designs are found on almost everything sold in the souk.
And in Jaipur, brightly colored saris and lavish gems are the Indians' definition of casual. In stark contrast to the terrain around the city, hot colors are worn on everything — including the camels. The article takes you on a shopping journey through the "pink city" that will leave you lusting for your own jewels from Jaipur.
Where have you found incredible bargain shopping on your travels?

Super Angry Birds is a force feedback USB controller for Angry Birds that simulates the feeling of a slingshot. All the controls found in the game are available in this device. You can control the pull, angle, and of course trigger the special power of the bird.
We hacked a motorized fader found in audio mixing consoles to create the force feedback. Basically, the way we achieved this is by drawing a force curve and storing the values in a table, then we send the current position of the slider through the table and extract the value to send to the motor that applies an opposing force.
We programmed in Max/MSP and Arduino. For controlling the hardware, we used an Arduino-based microcontroller called Music.
