At Least 122 Dead In Russian Crash
By Amy Clark

A Russian passenger plane skidded off a rain-slicked Siberian runway early Sunday and plowed through a concrete barrier and into some nearby garages, bursting into flames. At least 122 people were killed and 58 hospitalized, the Emergency Situations Ministry said.
The Airbus A-310 operated by Russian airline S7 crashed on landing at Irkutsk airport. It was carrying at least 201 people on a flight from Moscow.
Airline spokesman Konstantin Koshman said there were 193 passengers, including 14 children under the age of 12, and a crew of eight aboard. Emergency Ministry spokeswoman Natalia Lukash said three people whose names were not on the passenger list were pulled unconscious from the wreckage; it was not clear if they had been on the ground or were flying as unregistered passengers.
Many of the children were headed to nearby Lake Baikal on vacation, according to Russian news reports, although Kosmhman said he had no details on that.
S7 was known as "Sibir" until May. The Sibir blue and white logo was still visible on the tail at the crash site, reports CBS News correspondent Beth Knobel. S7 is Russia's second-largest airline, carved out of Aeroflot's Siberian wing after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The plane veered off the runway on landing and tore through a 6-foot-high concrete barrier. It then crashed into a compound of one-story garages, stopping a short distance from some small houses, about 7:50 a.m. (2250 GMT Saturday).
A witness said he heard a concussion and the ground trembled.
"I saw smoke coming from the aircraft. People were already walking out who were charred, injured, burnt," Mikhail Yegeryov told NTV television.
"I asked a person who was in the Airbus what happened, and he said the plane had landed on the tarmac but didn't brake. The cabin then burst into flames," Yegeryov said.
Transport Minister Igor Levitin blamed the wet runway.
"The aircraft veered off the runway. There was rain, the landing strip was wet. So we'll have to check the clutch and the technical condition of the aircraft," he told Russian state television.
The Prosecutor-General's Office said that investigators considered a technical fault or human error as the two most likely versions of the crash, news agencies reported. Koshman, the airline spokesman, said the plane, which was constructed in 1987, had been regularly maintained and met all certifications.
It took firefighters more than two hours to put out the fire, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova said. There were two explosions caused by the fuel in the plane, Moscow radio reported.
Russian television showed smoke rising from the wreckage and firefighters clambering on top.
"It was traveling at a terrific speed," the Andrianova said. She said the front end of the plane was crumpled in the crash 2,600 miles east of Moscow.
President Vladimir Putin conveyed his condolences to family and friends of the victims and declared Monday a national day of mourning.
Details began to emerge of the chaotic aftermath of the crash. One air stewardess, Viktoria Zilberstein, opened the emergency hatch in the rear of the aircraft and let a number of passengers out, said the Emergency Ministry's regional branch.
Ten passengers managed to escape this way and other survivors, including a pilot, were rescued by firefighters and rescuers from the burning wreckage, ITAR-Tass reported.
The transport minister said the aircraft's two black boxes had been recovered and were being deciphered.
Levitin added that the pilot had radioed ground control to say the aircraft had landed safely and then communication cut off.
Relatives began to arrive later Sunday at Moscow's Domodedovo airport, from where the plane took off.
A man who gave his name only as Vyacheslav, whose brother, wife and their 4-year-old son were on the plane, sat on a stone curb outside a crisis center near the airport fighting back tears. "They're not on the list" of passengers hospitalized, he said.
Later, a woman hurried out of the crisis center smiling, dialed her cellular phone, and exclaimed "Mama, Pashka is alive. He just went into a clinic." The woman, who declined to give her name, said the man was one of her brother's two friends who were on the flight.
In May, another Airbus aircraft crashed in stormy weather off Russia's Black Sea coast as it prepared to land, killing all 113 people on board. Airline officials blamed the crash of the Armenian passenger plane on driving rain and low visibility.
In March 1994, a half-empty Airbus A-310 belonging to Russian state airline Aeroflot crashed near the Siberian city of Novokuznetsk, killing 70 people. Investigators said the crash was caused mainly by the pilot's teenage son inadvertently disconnecting the autopilot.
Sunday's disaster was the fourth air crash in Irkutsk in the past 12 years.
In January 1994, a TU-154 aircraft crashed on takeoff from Irkutsk, killing 124 people. In December 1997, an An-124 military transport aircraft crashed in a residential area of the city, killing 72 people. And in July 2001, a Tu-154 Russian passenger plane crashed near Irkutsk, killing all 143 people on board.
Cash-strapped and saddled with aging aircraft, regional airlines whittled out of Aeroflot were once notorious for their disregard for safety but their records have improved in recent years.
Koshman said there were 11 foreigners on board, from Germany, South Korea, Poland, China and Moldova.

HAUNTED HOUSE. MONUMENT OF LOVE. GREAT CONTINENT. CLOUDSTREET IS ALL THAT AND MORE.
The house at number one Cloud Street is a great continent where two damaged clans collide. The two families—the Lambs and the Pickles—are as contrasting as the Australia they inhabit. Teetotallers and tipplers, workhorses or wastrels, fate makers versus chance chasers. But really, they're two sides of the same coin; one that was tossed during World War II and remained in motion for decades. The power of this staggering Australian saga is more haunting than the ghosts who speak out from the walls. It's more elusive than the serial killer who prowls their neighbourhood. It's transcendent, like the Lambs and the Pickles themselves, whose lives and loves live on today.
This is a once-in-a-generation chance to see Tim Winton's award-winning story on stage, and in 2019 Malthouse Theatre ups the ante. Directed by Matthew Lutton, Cloudstreet will be a monumental new production unprecedented in scale and ambition. The ensemble cast swims in the depth and breadth of Australian theatrical talent, featuring Helpmann Award-winner Guy Simon (Jasper Jones), Natasha Herbert (Away), Bert LaBonté (The Book of Mormon), Greg Stone (The Government Inspector) and Alison Whyte (Love and Information).

Weaving in Peru is an activity that can be traced back to over 3000 years in our past. The fineness and quality of the Peruvian fabrics are highlighted everywhere as a work of patience, knowledge, and skill of weavers. Scholars attribute three main reasons why textile art took on such importance in Peru, and consequently reached such a degree of excellence: (1) the rugged mountain climate requires really warm clothing. 2) The Peruvian people were the only pre-Columbian people that had access to the wool of the American camelids (llama, alpaca, vicuña). In addition, they harvested cotton on the coast. And 3) in the context of Andean culture (highly developed and centralized), there was a lot of free time between sowing and harvesting activities and that was the time they could devote to the arts. In the Inca Empire, in particular, the chosen women could dedicate their entire lives to the art of weaving. It should be noted here that in our territory practically all known techniques have been developed: rope, sticks, hand wheel, pedal wheel, and waist loom. With rope, the most basic of the technical associations of women who weave to export sweaters, sweaters, socks, gloves and mittens. The word quechua rucana means finger, because the Knitting needles are an extension of the fingers of the hand. The ease of weaving with these simple tools makes its use very widespread. It is known that it has been used since ancient times, as testified by the three-dimensional tapistries that were made in the transition from Paracas to Nasca by the year 500 (BC). Taquile Island where the men knit with knitting needles. But of these fabrics the most beautiful are those of Huancavelica, where makitos (independent sleeves) are woven with numerous designs that distinguish one community from another. Continuing with another technique, we have the use of looms throughout Peru, whose technique has not changed in many centuries and is used to weave the most intricate designs, being the waist loom the most common. From the prehispanic cultures, which made the beautiful Paracas mantles, the fine Wari tapestries and the Incas short tunics; Up to the present tapestry, ponchos, blankets, etc., the stake loom is used in the altiplanic zone and in it are woven the same garments. In the vertical loom where carpets are made by means of knots. The two-pedal loom is a hispanic introduction in which fabrics are worked by meters. The design of a textile comes from the perception of the environment that surrounds it, as from the internal world of weavers. The colors used tell the observer how she felt, because the harmony expressed in the colorful designs are an expression of the state of contentment, happiness or euphoria that the weaver felt at the moment of doing a job.

Harry Price wins Ficker Cup 2019
Published on March 31st, 2019
Long Beach, CA (March 31, 2019) – After completing the double round robin qualifying stage in second place, Harry Price (AUS) topped Chris Poole (USA) in the final match to win the Ficker Cup. Price advanced to the finals after beating Joachim Aschenbrenner (DEN) 3-2 in their semi-final match while Poole shut out Dave Hood (USA) in their pairing. Both Price and Poole now advance to the 55th edition of the Congressional Cup Grade 1 competition on April 3 to 7 in Long Beach, CA.
Race information – Results – Facebook
Full recap from today:
In an exciting winner-takes-all final match, Harry Price (AUS) of Down Under Racing defeated Chris Poole (USA) to capture the Long Beach Yacht Club Ficker Cup title. Both will advance to the Congressional Cup, which starts next week. Dave Hood (USA) finished third, while Joachim Aschenbrenner (DEN) took fourth.
Eight teams from around the globe competed in the 40th Ficker Cup match race: three days of what Principal Race Officer John Busch called, "Awesome, epic sailing." Although the wind was slow to come up in the morning, when it did fill in, it was idyllic, with cool ocean breezes and plenty of sunshine.
Going into today's semi-finals, Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club's Poole, who had aced Stage 1, was paired with Hood, a LBYC Staff Commodore. In the first match, Hood got 'hoodwinked' – surrendering a solid lead when he targeted the wrong windward mark. Poole took advantage of the error and won that race, and continued to dominate the series; moving on to the finals.
A crowd had gathered on Belmont Pier to watch the races, and Aschenbrenner and Price kept them in suspense. Each won one race, then another, until at 2-2 they entered a final match-point battle in race five. Off the start, Aschenbrenner tacked too close to Price, earning a penalty. The die was cast. Despite a duel that took them to the outer reaches of the course, Aschenbrenner couldn't rebound. Price won by a boat length, to enter the Finals.
Earlier, the breeze had clocked and built to 9 knots. But with the clock ticking and wind waning, PRO Busch decided to reduce the Finals to a single winner-take-all match.
Despite a penalty in the pre-start, Hood recovered and bested Aschenbrenner, for third place: an impressive accomplishment for the 61-year-old Staff Commodore, and only amateur skipper in the field of finalists.
Poole and Price's match saw spinnakers up and down in the pre-start and tight racing around the course, until Poole, on the hunt, bumped Price's stern. Officials threw up two flags on Poole, who was unduly advantaged by the foul; Price secured that win, and the Ficker Cup title.
"It didn't really go according to plan, but we made it in the long run," Price revealed. "In hindsight, it was the best preparation we could have, leading into next week. We had five great matches against Joachim (Aschenbrenner) and it was close every race. It was intense … and I wish it wasn't. But that's where you learn. It really set us up for next week."
Finishing in second place, Poole was "very excited" to have earned an invitation to Congressional Cup. "My plan is to keep improving on what we did this week; stay calm, cool, collected, and trust my crew to point me in the right direction," he said.
"After getting into the semi-finals last year, we felt this year we should be there again," added Poole, who finished third in last year's Ficker Cup. "That was our goal and expectation, coming into this event. So it's coming together really nicely; we're feeling ready now."
Although a ticket to the Congressional Cup is coveted, so too is winning the esteemed Ficker Cup trophy.
The Ficker Cup was established to honor Bill Ficker, a world class Star champion and winning helmsman of the 1970 America's Cup. Among the who's-who of names inscribed on the silver trophy are Taylor Canfield, Dean Barker, Sally Barkow, Terry Hutchinson, John Kostecki, Simone Ferrarese, and Johnie Berntsson … many who have gone on to win the Congressional Cup.
Requests for invitations to Ficker Cup 2020 are already coming in, according to Chair Cheri Busch. "The competitors love it. Ficker Cup is a top-notch regatta, and everyone loves being out here to see who is going to fill those last two berths and compete the Congressional Cup lineup."
She noted Ficker Cup is an invitation-only regatta, with strict criteria. "We have to have at least three international teams, and there's a point basis for the skippers. We evaluate their skillsets, abilities, and ISAF ranking."
As Chair, she oversees nearly every aspect of the event. "Thank God I've got a fantastic group of volunteers," Busch declare.
She's also got a fantastic counterpart in husband/PRO John Busch. "John and I work really well together as a team. He's a certified PRO; experienced, knowledgeable and competent. His skills complement everything that's going on, onshore."
These days, she added with a laugh, "Ficker Cup is our pillow talk!"
"This has been a great regatta, and it's very special we can do this together."
The Congressional Cup, hosted by Long Beach Yacht Club, will be held April 3 to 7, 2019.
Price and Poole round out a field that includes defending champion Taylor Canfield (USA), past winners Ian Williams (GBR) and Johnie Berntsson (SWE); plus Maxime Mesnil (FRA), Nicklas Dackhammar (SWE), Will Boulden (AUS), Nick Egnot-Johnson, (NZL), and Scotty Dickson (USA).
Spectators are invited to enjoy this premier racing experience at Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, 15 39th Place in Long Beach, CA, where fans will find convenient parking and full facilities, from 11:30AM to 5:00PM April 3 through 7.
Wednesday April 3 and 4, Long Beach Yacht Club will offer live-streaming coverage on the Congressional Cup Facebook Page and in the Club lounge for club members.
Friday April 5 through Sunday April 7, Long Beach Yacht Club will offer live-streaming coverage and features to viewers around the globe on the Congressional Cup Facebook page and the event website: www.thecongressionalcup.com.
Nightly press conferences – relevant to the day's racing, and always entertaining – will be also live-streamed on the Congressional Cup Facebook page, starting Wednesday April 3, at approximately 5:30pm.
The Ficker Cup was held from March 29 to 31.

NASCAR Heat 2 developer 704 Games has put the pedal to floor in order to build up the anticipation for the upcoming racing title.
Promising an increased depth to the game's career mode as well as it's on-track racing, 704 Games is looking to show fans exactly what they've been working on since NASCAR Heat Evolution was released last year. To do so, the team has released its first developer diary.
The diary, which you can watch in full below, features some all new gameplay from the split-screen multiplayer mode as well as a look at dirt-track racing with the debuting Camping World Truck Series.
The design team also touches on what is was like for them to implement the new stage racing system that NASCAR began using with the 2017 season. And before you ask, there will be stage racing and accurate flags when playing online with friends.
Last but not least, it was announced that the career mode will start players in the Truck Series, with the ultimate goal being to end up racing in the Monster Energy Cup Series.

HomeStep Back in TimeSuper Line Up Fruit Machine from Barcrest
Super Line Up Fruit Machine from Barcrest
The Line Up fruit machine was at the time one of the best performing machines that Barcrest had ever launched, and it would have been something of a surprise if you ever stepped foot into an amusement arcade during the 1980's and you didn't find at least one of them flashing away.
That fruit machine was a no nonsense one, however it was launched at the time when the stake and prizes laws were being changed, and as such the original Line Up came with a 10p stake and a £2 token jackpot pay-out, and the Super Line Up version gave players the chance of winning a £3 jackpot for a 10p stake.
As for just what made that fruit machine a magnet for players of all ages, well I suppose one of the most noticeable aspects of the machine was its futuristic looking belly glass which came with a sleek look and one that made the Super Line Up fruity stand out from all others.
The aim of playing the Super Line Up fruit machine was of course to spin in a winning combination on its one single pay-line, and by doing so players would be given the option of collecting their winnings, taking the gamble option or even exchanging their winning pay-out for a set of nudges after the reels had been re-spun.
On the left-hand side of the belly glass there was a bonus board type of layout, and players would progress up that bonus board when numbers that had been added onto certain reel symbols had been spun in.
Landing on any of the cash awards would see players being awarded with them and then being offered the gamble feature or being able to exchange them for nudges, but by landing on any of the nudge positions on that bonus board that would of course see players being awarded with nudges, which they could gamble or exchange for cash.

Nordstrom Bringing Style to Nashville's Off the Record
Nashville's Off the Record will be getting a dose of high fashion courtesy of Nordstrom.
By Sharon Edelson on August 10, 2016
Who says Nashville style consists only of cowboy boots worn with lacy dresses, jeans and shorts — heck, anything? Certainly not Nordstrom. The retailer is partnering with Off the Record, a fashion and music event taking place on Oct. 29 at the Factory on Franklin in Music City.
A fashion show will feature designers such as Naeem Khan, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Isabel Marant and John Varvatos, among others.
"We're excited to announce our partnership with Nordstrom, a leader in retail renowned for its ability to spot the hottest trends in fashion and design," said Paul Janowski, executive producer and president of New Heartland Group, which is organizing the event. "We both share a vision to deliver a high-energy event that will blow people away."
Tickets are available at offtherecordnashville.com for $300 to $1,000, Off the Record said, adding that there will be a red carpet, cocktail reception and musical performances. Guests will also have the opportunity to view the styles of select designers before the show. Off the Record said the complete roster of designers and entertainment will be announced in the coming weeks.
Last year's inaugural event, which was held at Sylvia Roberts' estate — ABC's "Nashville" character Rayna James' homes – was sold out, Off the Record said. It featured such collections as Gucci, Kaufman Franco and Varvatos, as well as performances by The Cadillac Three, Maren Morris, Kaleo, Old Dominion, Phil Vassar and Tommy Shaw of Styx.
Organizers said Nashville is emerging as a creative hotbed for fashion. Nashville fashion week, which was held April 1 to 9, was the sixth year of the event with 23 local and international designers showing collections. The week's schedule included the Nashville Fashion Forward Fund gala whose recipient was Julianna Bass.

Did you know that it takes an average of nine to 10 years for people to be properly diagnosed with bipolar disorder? There are two big reasons for this. One is that doctors miss the diagnosis all too frequently, even when hypomanic symptoms are brought to their attention. The other is failure of patients to report symptoms.
More often than not, it is depression symptoms that send people to see a psychiatrist or other therapist.
If you respond to antidepressant therapy, you may think, "Wow, it's working" and not recognize that you've gone into a hypomanic state (the severity of mania makes it much more likely to be recognized). But if you don't relate your behaviors to your doctor when you're "feeling good," he or she may not realize you've gone too far in the opposite direction from depression until the symptoms escalate into serious problems.
There are physical illnesses whose symptoms can overlap with those of bipolar disorder and complicate its diagnosis. They include lupus, epilepsy and Lyme disease, among others.
Unless you're having a severe side effect, you should never discontinue medications without your doctor's supervision.
You know who they are – the people who hurt your feelings constantly, the ones who drain your energy, the ones who attack you again and again. Depending on the relationship, it can be relatively easy to very difficult to actually remove a toxic person from your life. But it's essential that you do something about it.
There are some dangers inherent in bipolar disorder that make it more likely you'll do harmful things to yourself or be intimidated into letting medical personnel give you inadequate or even improper treatment. It's up to you to take action about these issues. Understand why they happen and what you need to do, with insights from others to help you.
Suppose you've been prescribed 150 milligrams of medication X, 30 milligrams of medication Y and 50 to 75 milligrams of medication Z per day. That means your doctor has given you permission to take from two to three 25-milligram tablets of drug Z in a day depending on your judgment. But you don't think that's enough, so you start taking 100 milligrams of drug Z or 60 milligrams of drug Y. Almost immediately you start having side effects, have a mood change or another problem occurs. Think that's far-fetched? Think again.
It's understandable that a parent may be uneasy about giving a bipolar child the types of strong medications that are needed to guide that child toward stability. Certainly there are risks involved with these drugs, as there are with all prescription drugs. But remember that your child is suffering, and there are few other options to help him or her.
Children with bipolar disorder often need special assistance at school. They can have trouble focusing, have anger issues and be easily tormented by other children. Also, it's quite common for a bipolar child to have co-morbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to take medications at school. You need to know your child's rights and implement the available programs.
I can't tell you how often people with bipolar disorder tell me that their friends or family members refuse to accept their diagnosis or refuse to learn anything about bipolar illness. Common responses include: "Oh, you're just trying to get attention;" "Snap out of it, get a job and quit whining;" "If you only (prayed more, tried harder, ate more vegetables, etc.) you'd be fine; or simply, "I don't believe it," ending the conversation.
Bipolar disorder is a serious illness that can disrupt every phase of life and even cause death. It can be disabling. Don't refuse to listen and learn.
This is an exceedingly difficult issue. When do your needs outweigh the needs of your bipolar spouse, parent or grown child? Only you can decide, but if the time comes when you need to make the decision, do whatever is necessary to take the best care of yourself. Insights from others may help you if you're in this position, and we offer several.

I tracked down an ugly bug that only appeared in optimized builds to some highly dodgy code that's probably been there since nearly the start of the project. As a result, it seemed like it might be a good idea to start building with -Wall, and actually fix the warnings (shock horror). Fixed a couple of real bugs in the process too. I also dug a little bit into the sound system (for the first time in nearly a year) and got the boot sound to play. Well, for a couple of seconds before it breaks into noise at least – there's still some issues there.
The biggest performance problem now appears to be the rendering code. For some typical scenes it's taking 30-40ms/frame, where the original budget was around 25% cpu, or <5ms per frame. Yeah, it's bad. Working on it ^_^.
Fix (nearly) all of the compilation warnings gcc was generating under -Wall. Including a couple of actual bugs, which was nice.
Fix ADPCM sound to at least sort of work.

You'll feel like a gatecrasher at this private peña, but persevere: the flamenco is muy puro. Watch guitarists who play as though they've got 24 fingers and listen to singers who bellow forth as if their heart was broken the previous night. There's no set schedule. Ask about dates at the on-site Museo de Arte Flamenco.

15 Years Old Already?! 1998 Yamaha YZF-R1
Update 8.9.2013: Originally we posted this R1 in February. It has been relisted a few times but is now showing a buy-it-now of $7k, which seems closer to what the market will bear. Links updated. Happy Friday, -dc
It seems hard to believe that the original R1 is now 15 years old, probably because it still evokes a strong emotion when spotted — especially in the white on red! With 150hp stock and 448lbs wet, it's no wonder why it was so attractive then and why it is still intriguing today.
1998 Yamaha YZF-R1 For Sale on eBay
This particular example has only 4700 miles but has been in storage and the seller reports that it will need some attention to get it road ready. The buy-it-now is set at a lofty $8500, but I suspect that is more intended to keep low-ballers out of the seller's inbox. Hopefully a realistic offer will find this bike a new home.
From the seller:
The rare one and most sought after in RED WHITE number 79. SUPER LOW MILES just 4,738 original miles. Has after market pipe but i still have the original one that came with the bike. super fast. Bike has been stored since 2011 so fuel has lost its octane already so you will need to flush and add new fuel. new battery has original tires but i also have a new set that will go with the bike. Bike will start but missing due to fuel octane lost during storage.Bike has never been dropped and adult driving only. Never raced or mistreated.

1998 Yamaha R1 with less than 5000 Miles
Dressed in what most consider a very attractive color scheme, we have a mostly original 98 Yamaha R1 for sale in Texas with just 4700 miles. This color combo always seems to make potential buyers wonder why they didn't buy one the first time around when they were originally launched. If you're in that category you may be in luck as this bike represents a very low mileage opportunity. While the aftermarket pipe isn't optimal, the original is available with sale. This one looks stock otherwise. While $8500 might seem a bit on the high side, it won't be long before this is commonplace with this revolutionary model.

Ride it like Russel Part 2: 2008 Yamama YZF-R1 Race Bike
This is the second 2008 ex-Scott Russel Yamaha R1 race bike we've seen up for grabs, and this one is reportedly the backup bike. The seller gives very little detail and Mike's questions from the other post regarding the livery still stand. This one has a buy-it-now of $12,500 and a current bid of $7850 reserve not met.

2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 50th Anniversary LE #260 of 500 For Sale!
2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 50th Anniversary LE #260 of 500
Location: Chandler, AZ
Price: $9,250 with reserve
I can definitely see myself rock'n one of these at some point before I get old and arthritis sets in. Everyone that I've talked, who owns one, says they absolutely love it and it's a rocket ship when allowed to breathe.
They look the part and I can only assume act the part with all of the upgrades that they came from the factory with. Ohlins, Brembo along side Marchesini top the distinguished list and add plenty of bling to the racer replica paint scheme.
This one is well used with 19,500 miles, but looks to be well taken care of alongside all of the fun that was had.
We can only assume that in 20 or so years these will be highly sought after bikes by those that snubbed them 5 short years ago. Perhaps these are the modern day RC30 and will appreciate beyond any ones wildest dreams. Only time will tell, but if you want to experience it on the cheap may I suggest picking one up now to avoid the long lines 20 years from now.
> This bike is numbered #260 out of only 500 shipped to the United States
> Bike has been meticulously maintained, with Motul oil changes every 3,000 miles
> Bike is largely stock with only minimal modifications made since its purchase in 2005

1998 Yamaha YZF R1 for sale
Location: L.A., California
Price: active bidding or $7,000 B.I.N
Yes, 7k is all the cheese for this one, but it looks to be in great shape and well cared for.
The owner is selling it as "100% stock, well almost stock".
A full compliment of seats, including the front, rear, and solo cowl in both Black, and Red colors.
520 chain conversion, utilizing a Renthal hard anodized rear sprocket and lightened front sprocket, with a DID ERV3 X-Ring Chain.
Muzzy's aluminum radiator fan, for (surprisingly legit!) increased cooling and reliability.
I also installed a brand-new OEM oil pan when I purchased the bike, because I found a helli-coil used in the oil drain plug to cover up stripped threads. I replaced the entire pan, with gasket, etc., of course.
Exceedingly rare, almost entirely unknown, GYTR Ohlins side-mount steering damper. You can see in the pics. Due to concerns over head-shake from the constant wheelies and absurdly short wheelbase, Yamaha made a stop-gap steering damper mount, and factory cut faux-carbon fairing piece, to accommodate Ohlins dampers, within weeks of launch and before the full commercial after-market units became available.
When I saw this today I got all giddy inside and remembered days gone by when these were king the hill. I wanted one so bad I could taste it, but they were all sold out and I had cash burning a hole in my pocket so I opted for the ZX9R. I don't regret it, but I'm always on the prowl for one of these just in case my wife leaves the checkbook unguarded.
I don't think these have quite matured just yet, but there are plenty of guys like me who are looking for the one that got away. These were bad a** back in the day and for me they still look very modern and capable.

Emily's quest for balance was born in a cabin in the woods. Hailing originally from the Green Mountains of Vermont, Emily first instilled her passion for the outdoors roaming the woods around her family's home. The desire to live a life of outdoor pursuits brought her to Missoula, Montana, where she pursued a degree in Exercise Science. Here, Emily found her calling; the intersection of sport, training, and the mountains.
Following her passion for cycling, Emily then moved to Arizona to work as a cycling guide. She has been leading road and mountain biking trips for The Cycling House for the past six years. She has lead groups of serious cyclists training for competition in locales including Tucson, California, and North Carolina. At these camps, Emily is guide, trainer, cook, motivator extraordinaire, and teacher.

A serious mountain runner, cyclist, triathlete herself, she has competed to top finishes over the years in cross country mountain biking, triathlon, marathons, and ultra-marathons. Tough, wild-hearted, and playful, her motivation comes from time spent in wild places, and spending time adventuring with close friends and trusted partners.
Colleen grew up in a small town nestled in the mountains of western Maine. After attending college in New Hampshire for two years, Colleen had the desire to experience the beauty, outdoors, and character of the west. Transferring to the University of Montana in Missoula to complete her degree in Exercise Science, she immediately joined a student led outdoor recreation group and fell in love with the outdoor culture Montana had to offer. Finding a close group of friends to backpack, run, ski and hike with, Colleen discovered she was happiest when running and playing outside.
After graduating in 2015, she completed her certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist as a way to integrate her passions for exercise physiology, performance training and mountain sports. Recently completing her first marathon, she plans to pursue her passion and fascination for endurance athletics by racing in many more marathons and ultra-trail races in the near future. Colleen hopes to attend graduate school to complete a dual degree in exercise physiology and nutrition.
Kindhearted, competitive, and eager to learn, she is always excited to put her passion for outdoor play, running, and performance training to the test. When not playing in the mountains, Colleen divides her time by working at both The Mountain Project and at Bozeman Running Company.


AA Action Waterproofing is a family owned and operated business with over 28 years experience, serving the Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia, PA, NJ & DE areas with integrity. With the uprise of a multitude of basement waterproofing and mold remediation companies, AA Action was having a difficult time standing out among their competitors. They came to LBMS because they were virtually non-existent from a Local SEO perspective and spending an average of $55 - $60 per click on their Google AdWords account, which caused them to have a horrific/almost non-existing ROI. We immediately took over their Google AdWords account and have since reduced their cost per click to $15 - $18 per click and increased their ROI by 34% within the first six months of managing their account for them. We then started to work on their presence from an organic search perspective and found that their local SEO strategy was too ineffective because of some antiquated practices being performed. We then employed the latest SEO strategies and within a 3 month period, we helped them increase their local presence organically, which increased their traffic by 88%.

After 16 years as heads of house, Anne and Bill McCants to step down from Burton Conner
Search will start soon for new live-in faculty to help lead undergraduate community.

Following a 16-year head-of-house career that spanned three decades and two residence halls, Professor Anne E. C. McCants and her husband Bill have announced that they will step down from their post in Burton Conner House (BC) at the end of this academic year.
In an email to all heads of house earlier this month, Professor McCants shared that she is "starting a three-year term as the president of the International Economic History Association, a position which I realize is going to require a lot more travel of me than is feasible while serving as head of a residence hall as large and complex as BC."
Vice President and Dean for Student Life Suzy Nelson offered praise for the McCants' work as heads of house. "Their experience and perspective have been a great support to me and the entire head of house community, and their commitment to the students of BC will serve as an example for future heads of house to emulate," says Nelson.
McCants is director of the Concourse program for first-year students and a professor of history in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (SHASS). Her research and teaching focus on the social and economic history of Europe in the Middle Ages and early modern period. She was named a MacVicar Faculty Fellow in 2004 and is a recipient of numerous honors including the Levitan Prize to support innovative and creative scholarship in SHASS. Also, she has twice won the Arthur C. Smith Award for exemplary service to undergraduate life and learning.
Anne and Bill McCants first became heads of house in Green Hall (W5) when it was a residence for women graduate students. They supported the community from 1992 to 2002, a period they recall as "wonderful." After Professor McCants served consecutive terms as head of History at MIT, the couple found themselves missing the direct student interaction they enjoyed in Green Hall and were inspired to join BC in 2012.
Since BC is a cook-for-yourself community, food is a consistent theme in their reflections on the last six years. In an email, the McCantses said, "Every year, we have invited each of the nine floors to the head of house apartment for a home-cooked dinner. Attendance has been high and enthusiastic over all six years." They particularly remember BC's annual apple bake event as a showcase for the community's "creativity, collaboration, and generosity at its best. Great food, fun, and art."
"Anne and Bill McCants cared deeply about student well-being," says junior Katie Fisher, the BC president. "Burton Conner residents will especially remember them for hosting floor dinners and a finals study break in their apartment, as well as their brownie recipe. This dorm will not be the same without them."
Burton Conner House (W51) is located at 410 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was opened in 1939 and houses more than 350 undergraduates. According to its website, BC "consists of nine floors — five on the Burton side, four on the Conner side — each of which has its own unique personality." The floors are made up of suites — mostly coed with between four and nine residents each — that contain a bathroom and a kitchen. House amenities include lounges and conference rooms, music rooms, a snack bar, recreational table games, a weight room, barbecue pits, and elevators.
But for the McCantses, BC is about much more than the building and its contents. "This role has afforded us opportunities for one-to-one interactions with students in times of both joy and crisis, challenge and repose, that are truly unforgettable," they wrote.
Those interested in becoming a head of house should email Judy Robinson, senior associate dean for residential education, for more information. The search process will kick off with an informal reception on Monday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. in BC for interested tenured faculty. Potential candidates will be able to meet current heads of house and staff to discuss this singular opportunity. A search committee of current heads of house, staff, and students will review candidate qualifications, vet potential finalists with BC residents, and make recommendations to Chancellor Cynthia Barnhart and Dean Nelson. The final selection will be made by Barnhart in time for the appointees to relocate to their new home before the fall term.
Please email Kaye Gaskins to RSVP for the reception by Feb. 9. Those who cannot attend but would still like to apply should email a current CV and cover letter to Robinson explaining why they would like to be BC's head of house.

Declarația de la Mainau este denumirea generică utilizată pentru cele două apeluri socio-politice ale laureaților Nobel care au participat la reuniunile de o săptămână a laureaților Nobel la Lindau, întâlnire anuală cu tineri oameni de știință din orașul german Lindau. Numele denotă faptul că aceste declarații au fost prezentate pe insula Mainau din Lacul Constanța, locul tradițional de desfășurare al întâlnirii din ultima zi a reuniunii.

Declarația de la Mainau 1955
Prima declarație de la Mainau a fost un apel împotriva utilizării armelor nucleare. Inițiată și redactată de oamenii de știință germani Otto Hahn și Max Born, a fost distribuită la cea de-a cincea întâlnire a laureaților Nobel la Lindau (11-15 iulie 1955) și prezentată pe Insula Mainau la 15 iulie 1955. Declarația a fost semnată inițial de 18 laureați Nobel. În decurs de un an, numărul semnatarilor s-a ridicat la 52 de laureați Nobel.

Declarația Mainau 2015 privind schimbările climatice
Declarația de la Mainau 2015 privind schimbările climatice a fost prezentată pe insula Mainau, Germania, cu ocazia ultimei zile a celei de-a 65-a reuniuni a laureaților premiilor Nobel la Lindau, vineri, 3 iulie 2015. Este un avertisment urgent asupra consecințelor schimbărilor climatice și a fost semnat inițial de 36 de laureați Nobel. În lunile următoare, 35 de laureați suplimentari s-au alăturat grupului de susținători ai declarației. Începând din februarie 2016, un număr de 76 laureați Nobel susțin Declarația de la Mainau 2015.

Textul declarației prevede că, deși trebuie analizate mai multe date și trebuie efectuate cercetări suplimentare, raportul climatic al IPCC reprezintă în continuare cea mai fiabilă evaluare științifică asupra schimbărilor climatice antropice și că – prin urmare – ar trebui să fie utilizat ca fundament la care factorii de decizie ar trebui să discute acțiuni pentru a se opune amenințării globale a schimbărilor climatice.

Bruno's Dream
Bruno, dying, obsessed with spiders and preoccupied with death and reconciliation, lies at the center of an intricate spider's web of relationships and passions: Bruno's estranged and grieving son Miles; Danby, Bruno's widowed son-in-law, consoling himself with the Adelaide the maid, one of Murdoch's finest comic creations; creepy Nigel the nurse and his besotted twin Will, fighter of duels. The flooding Thames brings about the climax, and all are left changed by love and forgiveness before the old man's death.
Iris Murdoch was born in Dublin in 1919. She read Classics at Somerville College, Oxford, and after working in the Treasury and abroad, was awarded a research studentship in Philosophy at Newnham College, Cambridge. In 1948 she returned to Oxford as fellow and tutor at St Anne's College and later taught at the Royal College of Art. Until her death in 1999, she lived in Oxford with her husband, the academic and critic, John Bayley. She was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1987 and in the 1997 PEN Awards received the Gold Pen for Distinguished Service to Literature.
Iris Murdoch made her writing debut in 1954 with Under the Net. Her twenty-six novels include the Booker prize-winning The Sea, The Sea (1978), the James Tait Black Memorial prize-winning The Black Prince (1973) and the Whitbread prize-winning The Sacred and Profane Love Machine (1974). Her philosophy includes Sartre: Romantic Rationalist (1953) and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals (1992); other philosophical writings, including 'The Sovereignty of Good' (1970), are collected in Existentialists and Mystics (1997).
