For my first foray into Progarchy, I would like to talk about the prog god of the year, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, who thankfully is not too old to rock and roll and is definitely too young to die. More specifically, I would like to talk about Ian Anderson’s Thick as a Brick 1 & 2 tour, which I saw at Ravinia, in Highland Park, Illinois, in July of this year. This concert was simply amazing. From the first notes of Thick as a Brick to the final bow, Ian Anderson and co. never cease to amaze. They do not bill themselves as Jethro Tull because Martin Barre is currently not a part of the band. Instead, Florian Opahle fills in as a more than capable guitarist. In fact, every musician in the band is excellent. The lineup is Ian Anderson on flute, acoustic guitar, and vocals, David Goodier on bass, John O’Hara on keyboards and accordion (yes! accordion), Florian Opahle on guitar, Scott Hammond on drums, and Ryan O’Donnell on vocals and stage antics. The latter is an excellent move on Ian Anderson’s part, as O’Donnell can reach the high notes that Anderson can no longer reach. He also has a remarkably similar voice to Ian Anderson of the ’70s, but never fear, for Ian Anderson still does the majority of the singing.
For the concert itself, the band plays Thick as a Brick 1 & 2 in their entirety, as well as Locomotive Breath as an encore. Ian Anderson’s ability to play the flute is unequaled, and he has only gotten better with age. Ian Anderson’s voice has changed considerably over the years, but he still sounds good. Thick as a Brick 2, however, sounds better in concert than it does on the album. I can only attribute that to the fact that the band has been touring for over a year, and knows the music to a tee. Ian Anderson’s flute playing draws the viewer into the concert and captivates their full attention. Thematically, Thick as a Brick 2 makes the listener ponder what life might have been like if they had made different decisions in life, all through relaying several possible career choices for our beloved Gerald Bostock. The final song of the concert, Locomotive Breath, brings the audience to its feet in a finale worthy of Jethro Tull. Throughout the concert, Ian Anderson proves that the music of Jethro Tull really does stand the test of time and that he will never be too old to rock and roll.

Welcome on board!
May be the wrong place to post this but the book analyzing TaaB and APP that I learned of here a few months ago just landed on my doorstep. Haven’t had time to more than skim it, but it looks mighty dense. Once I get through it I’ll gladly post my findings in the appropriate place.

A haunting and dreamlike gothic horror/giallo hybrid, Death Smiles on a Murderer is a compelling early work from the legendary sleaze and horror film director Joe D'Amato (Anthropophagus, Emanuelle in America), here billed under his real name Aristide Massaccesi. Set in Austria in the early 1900s, Death Smiles on a Murderer stars Ewa Aulin, (Candy, Death Laid an Egg) as Greta, a beautiful young woman abused by her brother Franz (Luciano Rossi, Death Walks in High Heels, The Conformist) and left to die in childbirth by her illicit lover, the aristocrat Dr. von Ravensbrück (Giacomo Rossi Stuart, Kill, Baby... Kill!).
Bereft with grief, Franz reanimates his dead sister using a formula engraved on an ancient Incan medallion. Greta then returns as an undead avenging angel, reaping revenge on the Ravensbrück family and her manically possessive brother. Presented here in a stunning 2K restoration, D'Amato's film is a stately and surreal supernatural mystery which benefits from an achingly mournful score by Berto Pisano, several shocking scenes of gore, and a typically sinister performance from Klaus Kinski as a morbid doctor.
Klaus... is your house!

Before Watchmen Collections
Have you ever wondered what happened before the events of “Watchmen”? Creator Alan Moore has been pretty outspoken about his thoughts on the matter, but that didn’t stop DC Comics from enlisting some of the industry’s best writers and artists to create eight new miniseries exploring the histories of characters like Nite Owl, Rorschach, The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre and Ozymandias. Serving as a prequel to the original 12-issue series, the “Before Watchmen” comics have since been collected in four hardcover editions, and the end result is a pretty mixed bag, especially since each collection features at least two characters per book. Though that’s good news for diehard fans, those that want to read J. Michael Straczynski’s Nite Owl series but couldn’t care less about his Dr. Manhattan story, for instance, are screwed. Additionally, some of the series are much better than others, with Darwyn Cooke’s Minutemen yarn the clear standout. Still, if you know someone who loves “Watchmen” that doesn’t mind that the property’s original creators aren’t involved, “Before Watchmen” makes for interesting supplemental reading.
American Experience: JFK
The story of John F. Kennedy is one of the most fascinating in American history. Regardless of your opinion of our 35th President, he will always be an iconic figure in American history, due to both the pivotal nature of his presidency and his tragic assassination. Debates will rage on about his performance in office and the circumstances surrounding his assassination, and his prolific adventures with the opposite sex have been fodder for the tabloids for decades. His story will captivate anyone who appreciates American history, so any documentary is likely to maintain the attention of viewers. But it’s hard to imagine anyone telling the story better than the folks at PBS who produce “American Experience.” They have consistently told the story of America through its presidents and other influential Americans in a series of compelling documentaries. “JFK” easily lives up to that legacy, and it’s a must-see, as this year we marked the 50th anniversary of that terrible day in Dallas. Like other “American Experience” documentaries, this is not just a story of the JFK presidency, but also the man.

In a recent opinion piece, Elizabeth Marlowe proposed that what she terms the “Elgin marbles” should not be returned to Greece — at least not yet. Note that I refer to them as the Parthenon sculptures, not the “Elgin marbles.” Not even the British Museum calls them that anymore, since to use the term implicitly grants legitimacy to their removal by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin. The thrust of Marlowe’s argument is that there are more pressing items of colonial plunder that should be returned first — namely, the Maqdala treasures and the Benin bronzes — and that focusing on the Parthenon sculptures affirms the wrong principle. To prioritize the Greek claim, she contends, shifts the discussion away from colonial violence and towards what she labels “interfamilial bullying” between European nations.
While I am sympathetic to Marlowe’s overall view that museums should be working towards restorative justice and decolonization, her argument is flawed, both conceptually and technically. The principle that one misdeed deserves to be redressed before another, because it stems from a situation of greater violence, is wrong. Looting of cultural property is always a crime, no matter who did it and under what circumstances. If it can be demonstrated that artifacts were acquired illegally, they should be returned to their rightful owners. That applies to all of them, regardless of whether they were robbed at gunpoint, smuggled out in stealth, or sold under duress.
Meting out justice for all is a fundamental tenet of any modern legal system, and no one has the right to conclude that some victims are more deserving than others. The fallacy of such reasoning becomes apparent, in Marlowe’s article, when she lists among “the wrongs that get righted most quickly” the looting done, respectively, by Napoleon and by the Nazis. Given that Holocaust-era restitutions are ongoing and works plundered over two centuries ago still hang in French museums, it is misleading to posit that justice was swift and sure, in these cases.
The argument fails when it creates a false equivalence between Greece and Britain. According to Marlowe, both are “self-proclaimed inheritor[s] of the classical tradition” and heirs to “the powerful myth of ‘Western civilization,’” in essence, members of the same club of European nations. The removal of the Parthenon sculptures, she says, is “to put it bluntly, a wrong done by White people to White people.” That is a shockingly callous claim. Wrongs are wrongs and should be righted. To diminish them on the basis of the perceived ethnicity of the wronged is odious. To blame the Greeks for the appropriation of their ancient culture by northern Europeans is the least decolonial gesture imaginable.
While Greece was just an occupied province, Britain was embarking upon the most expansive imperial project the world has ever known. There is no justifiable comparison between them. The presumption of equivalence between European nations reveals a woeful disregard of history. “Western civilization” and “the classical tradition” are indeed powerful myths or, at least, complex historical constructs. The modern idea of Europe is founded upon them. It would be historicist, however, to map them back onto a period when they were not yet fully formed. When Lord Elgin, the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, began to remove artifacts from the Parthenon site, the Greeks were subject to domination by a foreign power they considered oppressive. Many people in Britain agreed with them — notably, the poet Lord Byron, who denounced Elgin as a vandal and gave his life to liberate Greece.
The cause of Greek independence galvanized popular feeling and fed the idea that northern Europeans were the rightful heirs to Greek antiquity (a debatable claim, at best). In contradiction to the Hellenizing assertions of poets and art historians, however, race science held quite a different view of the Greeks. As schemes of racial classification developed over the 19th century, southern European peoples were almost invariably relegated to a lower rung in the racial hierarchy. British commentators considered modern Greeks inferior to their ancient forebears, supposedly degenerated by centuries of mixture with non-European peoples — all the more reason to take from them objects they were not deemed worthy of possessing. To postpone the return of those treasures today based on decrying Greek whiteness is to misconstrue how that category has been constructed historically.
Discussing the Parthenon sculptures in terms of decolonization requires not losing sight of the bigger geopolitical picture. The Greek War of Independence, fought over eight years and costing over 150,000 lives, foreshadowed a reconfigured balance of power in Europe. Britain, France, and Russia banded together to deliver a blow to the Ottoman Empire, frustrating imperial ambitions in Vienna and Berlin, in the process. After the years of Napoleonic upheaval, the war for Greece reflects an international order that would prevail for a century — the so-called Concert of Europe, under which much of the world was partitioned among a handful of European powers. Demonstrating that European nations, acting in concert, could effectively extend the borders of Europe, it was a harbinger of the “high imperialism” to come.
The debate over restitution of the Parthenon sculptures has long hinged on whether their acquisition was exercised under due authority, a question riddled with legal intricacies and archival gaps. Less discussed is the broader strategic context, before and after the items were taken. Elgin’s defenders allege the removal took place under the sovereign authority of Greece’s Ottoman rulers. Two decades later, Britain backed a war to oust those very rulers, a fact inconsistent with their previous regard for the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire. On both occasions, self-interest seems to have prevailed over abstract principles of legality. Such arcane details may carry little weight today, but they are relevant to understanding the historical nature of colonialism. The overarching doctrine of imperial power is that the rules of the game only apply when your side is winning. To counter that attitude effectively, decolonization must stick to principles and fight for what is right, not pick and choose what matters.

Al-Shabaab extremists kill Somali intelligence official
Somalia | Attacks against security officers are on the rise since the president declared war on insurgency
by Onize Ohikere
Posted 4/28/17, 11:09 am
Al-Shabaab extremists on Thursday shot and killed a Somali senior intelligence officer in the capital Mogadishu, security officials said. The shooting follows a string of similar attacks targeting security officials following the president’s declaration of war against the insurgent group.
Mohamud Haji Ali was sitting in front of his house when the armed extremists shot and killed him, according to a police official. The militants fled the scene before security officials arrived. Ali had worked with the Somalian National Intelligence and Security Agency.
“Police and security forces reached the scene later to investigate and pursue the militants,” police official Ibrahim Nur told Reuters.
Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. The Somali terror group has staged attacks in Somalia and in neighboring countries contributing to a joint mission battling their insurgency. Al-Shabaab has lost most of its territory but continues with sporadic attacks.
The extremist group has scaled up attacks against government and security officials since President Mohamed Farmajo declared war against insurgency. The president this month appointed new security officials and gave the terror group’s fighters a 60-day deadline to surrender.
Al-Shabaab on April 9 killed at least 15 people in a suicide bomb attack that targeted a military convoy. Ahmed Mohamed Jimale, the country’s newly appointed chief of army, survived the attack. Another suicide bomber this month detonated explosives at a military training camp in Somalia, killing at least nine soldiers.
Ebrahim Deen, a researcher with the South Africa-based Afro Middle East Center, said that while the resurgence in terror attacks is partly a response to the president’s stance, al-Shabaab also is trying to show the new administration it still has capacity to attack.
“It’s as a result of what he said, but it’s also a result of his election itself,” Deen said. “Shabaab would want to send him a sign in the early stages of his leadership.”
Onize is a reporter for WORLD Digital based in Abuja, Nigeria.


|"A portable flamethrower that discards the old and highly dangerous backpack fuel delivery system in favor of pressurized canisters of napalm. Inexperienced agents will find that a flamethrower can be difficult to maneuver, however."|
|— description of Flamethrower, Deus Ex|
|"The canister is double-walled to minimize accidental detonation caused by stray bullets during a firefight."|
|— Sam Carter, UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE SC080-BLUE|
The flamethrower is a heavy skill weapon appearing in Deus Ex.
Used in combat by various organizations in 2052.
The flamethrower shoots a stream of flame at enemies. Any enemy that the fire touches, no matter how long they were hit with the flame steam, will be set on fire. While on fire, they will run around screaming while taking damage. They will never attack the player while in this state.
Flames from the flamethrower do full damage to most enemies. The exceptions are robots, which take 25% damage, MJ12 Commandos, which take half damage and cannot be set on fire, and grays, which take no damage.
- A brief burst is very effective against troopers and animals because it's all that's needed to set them on fire.
- The Flamethrower consumes 10 rounds of napalm per second. This, combined with how rare napalm ammo is, makes firing small burst an even better idea. The extra damage caused by holding the flamethrower on a target simply isn't worth quickly going through one's ammo supply.
- Hit and run tactics work very well with the flamethrower. Go into a room, fire the flamethrower just long enough to set everyone on fire, then run back and let the fire on them do the rest of the work.
- If enemies are on fire, the player can also simply run past them instead of waiting to let the fire take them out. However, if the player touches an enemy that's on fire, they'll take flame damage as well, so caution is advised when going through or exploring a room that's recently been torched with the flamethrower.
- A Man in Black will only die when set on fire once if the player is at Advanced or Higher heavy Weapon skill level. However, players with lower skill levels should still set him on fire anyway because the MiB will be completely harmless while on fire. Once he recovers, the player can tap him with another burst of flames, which will set him on fire again and, after taking some extra flame damage while on fire, kill him.
- Even though MJ12 Commandos take some damage from a flamethrower, using it against them is not recommended because they will never play the "on fire" animation, which is the flamethrower's greatest strength. In fact, Commandos will not take extra flame damage period, meaning the player will have to unload one or more full magazines to kill a Commando, depending on their skill level.
- Always reload whenever given a chance. The weapon's reload speed is slow enough that trying to reload in the middle of combat can put the player in real danger.
- A flamethrower will take up eight blocks in the inventory. Be aware of this when planning how many items JC will hold.

Fuzhou Flights Guide
The capital of the region of the same name, Fuzhou has developed its own unique culture over many centuries. A beautiful downtown historic district juxtaposes against the financial boom of the more modern districts, and though its character is distinct from other Chinese cities, the contrast highlights the countryís global role and resultant growth.
The city is large. Across the water lies Taiwan, and as such the cityís many factories are in a great part funded by Taiwanese firms. Walking through the town streets, one comes to Wuyi Square, where a massive statue of Mao reminds visitors that they are in fact very much in mainland China. And the city is spectacular. Three Lane and Seven Alleys is the historical center of Fuzhou, and it is one of the best-preserved and largest districts of ancient China. Fuzhou might feel apart, but Buddhism retains its mark, and the tucked-away Hualin Temple, which is constructed entirely of wood, is worth the time it takes to find it. In Fuzhou proper, the Gu Mountain keeps at its summit a Taoist temple that can be accessed by foot or by cable car. A popular local activity in Fuzhou involves the West Lake Park, where boats can be hired for a calming paddle into this central lake.
Mostly domestic flights serve the city. The largest carriers with service to Fuzhouís International Airport include Air China, Hainan Airlines, Shangdong Airlines and Xiamen Airlines.

A century after the discovery of quantum mechanics, the meaning of quantum mechanics still remains elusive. This is largely due to the puzzling nature of the wave function, the central object in quantum mechanics. If we are realists about quantum mechanics, how should we understand the wave function? What does it represent? What is its physical meaning? Answering these questions would improve our understanding of what it means to be a realist about quantum mechanics. In this survey article, I review and compare several realist interpretations of the wave function. They fall into three categories: ontological interpretations, nomological interpretations, and the sui generis interpretation. For simplicity, I will focus on non-relativistic quantum mechanics.


I was honored to speak with the great ANTI-FLAG… one of the more important bands for our, “Genre / Scene…” especially now more than ever.
I can honestly say this is one of my favorite interviews – Justin is smart as hell… and the intelligence that he brings across, as well as the questions he raises for fans of music and also our generation are very important.
We discuss everything – from politics, to poly-rock, to the crossover between socio-economic policies and how that relates to the youth and culture… pretty much everything.
Please take the time and give it a listen, and while you’re at it – pick up their new album!

My friend was getting rid of this old (half) door, so I stole it from her recycling bin.
Okay, I asked. I'm no thief.
We needed some front entryway storage, so I got creative.
Eventually I'll paint it and hang it on the wall, put a little bench under... but that is for another day.
I also have the bottom half of the door. I have no clue what I'm going to do with it.

The internet is not necessarily safer than other forms of media, and as such, there are many websites that encourage online harassment and bullying of children. To avoid this type of behavior, it is best to keep an eye on your child's internet activity.

Stronger Storms, Deeper Droughts Coming, Federal Report Says
The U.S. Climate Change Science Program and the Subcommittee on Global Change Research published the first comprehensive analysis of observed and projected changes in weather and climate extremes in North America on June 19. It says droughts, heavy downpours, excessive heat, and intense hurricanes are likely to become more common as atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases rise.
"This report addresses one of the most frequently asked questions about global warming: What will happen to weather and climate extremes? This synthesis and assessment product examines this question across North America and concludes that we are now witnessing and will increasingly experience more extreme weather and climate events," said the report's co-chair, Tom Karl, Ph.D., director of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.
"We will continue to see some of the biggest impacts of global warming coming from changes in weather and climate extremes," said Co-chair Gerry Meehl, Ph.D., of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. "This report focuses for the first time on changes of extremes specifically over North America." The report, "Weather and Climate Extremes in a Changing Climate," and a summary brochure are available at www.climatescience.gov/.

and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him,
and without him
was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life,
and the life was the light of people.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
The true light,
which gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world.
He was in the world,
and the world was made through him,
yet the world did not know him.
He came to his own,
and his own people did not receive him.
But to all who did receive him,
who believed in his Name,
he gave the right to become children of God,
who were born,
not of blood
nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of a man,
but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we have seen his glory,
glory as of the only Son from the Father,
full of grace and truth.

A Celtic warrior princess is torn between her forbidden love for the enemy and duty to her people.
AWARD-WINNING APOLLO’S RAVEN sweeps you into an epic Celtic tale of forbidden love, mythological adventure, and political intrigue in Ancient Rome and Britannia. In 24 AD British kings hand-picked by Rome to rule are fighting each other for power. King Amren’s former queen, a powerful Druid, has cast a curse that Blood Wolf and the Raven will rise and destroy him. The king’s daughter, Catrin, learns to her dismay that she is the Raven and her banished half-brother is Blood Wolf. Trained as a warrior, Catrin must find a way to break the curse, but she is torn between her forbidden love for her father’s enemy, Marcellus, and loyalty to her people. She must summon the magic of the Ancient Druids to alter the dark prophecy that threatens the fates of everyone in her kingdom.
Will Catrin overcome and eradicate the ancient curse. Will she be able to embrace her forbidden love for Marcellus? Will she cease the war between Blood Wolf and King Amren and save her kingdom?
Award-winning author, Linnea Tanner, weaves Celtic tales of love, magical adventure, and political intrigue in Ancient Rome and Britannia. Since childhood, she has passionately read about ancient civilizations and mythology. Of particular interest are the enigmatic Celts, who were reputed as fierce warriors and mystical Druids. he has extensively researched ancient and medieval history, mythology, and archaeology and has traveled to sites described within each of her books in the Curse of Clansmen and Kings series.
A Colorado native, Linnea attended the University of Colorado and earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry. She lives in Windsor with her husband and has two children and six grandchildren.
In Apollo’s Raven, The Wall of Lives is a transitional wall between the mortal and Otherworld. Covering the Wall of Lives is a fluid tapestry in which everyone’s life threads weave in and out of others from birth to death. Here, the past, the present, and the future merge into one time. The primary protagonist —Catrin, a Celtic warrior princess—can visit this realm with the aid of her raven guide. She has the unique magical ability to manipulate the life threads in the fluid tapestry to alter the future. The Wall of Lives is a metaphor that she has the innate ability to change the future by the decisions she makes in her lifetime. However, to make the right choices, she must understand the past to learn how to fly forward. The concept of the Wall of Lives is based on divine female entities who ruled the fates of gods and men in Norse and Greco-Roman mythology. They spin, measure, and cut the thread life for each person to carry out his or her preordained destiny. The age-old theme as to whether humans can change fate by their decisions is explored in the series.

The real context behind Monument Avenue
8/4/2017, 9:55 a.m.
Other U.S. cities understand this: New Orleans, Orlando, Tampa, St. Louis and Charlottesville all have taken down or are in the process of taking down their Confederate statues. Other cities are renaming streets, parks and buildings. But not Richmond. Richmond wants to add “context.”
What is most revealing is how Richmond deals with its brief, three-and-a-half-year Confederate past as opposed to its three decades as the epicenter of the U.S. domestic slave trade. It took a nearly 10-year community struggle to force the state of Virginia to remove a Virginia Commonwealth University parking lot from the city’s African Burial Ground. It took a bitter two-year community campaign to stop former Mayor Dwight C. Jones and the powerful business coalition Venture Richmond from building a baseball stadium in the heart of the Shockoe Bottom slave-trading district. (Former Mayor Jones also is on record as opposing taking down the statues.) That fight forced former Mayor Jones to begin a project to memorialize just one of nearly 100 slavery-related sites in the Bottom, but Mayor Stoney is resisting the overwhelming community demand for a more inclusive — and less expensive — 9-acre Shockoe Bottom Memorial Park.
The most disturbing thing about the way the city is handling these related issues is its utter insensitivity to the black community. What kind of compromise can be reached between those who still honor the men who defended slavery and the descendants of those who were enslaved? Do you really think that some signage will make it less painful for the descendants to walk, cycle or drive past those tributes to the men who fought for the right to keep their ancestors enslaved? Whose sensitivities matter more here? Whose matter at all?
The mission of the Monument Avenue Commission as it now exists is unacceptable. It begins with a decision to compromise on the question of what to do about the Confederate-honoring, Lost Cause mythology-promoting statues on the avenue before any public meetings have taken place. The mayor has said that taking the statues down is off the table. Not one of the commission’s 10 members has publicly called for their removal. Several previously supported the effort to put a stadium in the Bottom. And the commission is preparing to shepherd a discussion about Monument Avenue while apparently ignoring the parallel issue of Shockoe Bottom.
Therefore, we are calling on the members of the commission to do the following before their first public hearing on Wednesday, Aug. 9:
• Publicly declare that taking down the statues is one of the options to be considered.
• Invite onto the commission Richmonders who already have called for the statues to be removed.
• Invite New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu to speak at the first public hearing. His eloquent statement on why his city has taken down its Confederate monuments has become a classic argument for their removal.

Valley Stream School District 30 celebrates 100th anniversary of flagship school
The Valley Stream School District 30 celebrated the 100th anniversary of its flagship Clear Stream Avenue School on Wednesday.
Prior to the creation of the district, students living west of Merrick Avenue had to attend schools in different districts or in Elmont.
After families brought their concerns to the county, the school opened its doors in September 1923.
Students wrapped up the celebration by surrounding the building with one big hug.

Cervelo P5x$15,000 1 of 11
This complete redesign of the P5, one of the fastest triathlon bikes in the world, has turned plenty of heads. While the ENVE 7.8 wheelset and SRAM eTAP build won't come cheap, we can promise you it will be plenty fast—so fast that it isn't quite UCI legal. All totaled, Cervelo claims the P5x will be around 25 to 45 seconds faster than the P5 over a 40 km distance. Its also got disc brakes, integrated storage compartments, and is much easier to disassemble for travel.
Felt IA 16$2,999 2 of 11
For those of you who would rather spend that $15,000 on a car rather than a bike, the Felt IA 16 is an excellent option in the entry-level category. While the components are solid and the wheelset could use an upgrade, what you get here is a seriously good frame for the price. Felt uses internal molds (usually reserved for higher-end bikes) to reduce weight, maintain strength and reduce stress in critical areas. It also features a similar aerodynamic design as Felt's top tier tri bikes, cutting cost by using a slightly less expensive carbon fiber. All told, this bike offers true bang-for-your-buck value.
Trek Speed Concept 7.5$3,999 3 of 11
While it won't be as flashy as some bikes on the market, the 2017 Speed Concept 7.5 is enough bike for almost anyone. It's comfortable, handles well and gets up to speed quicker than you'd expect—all things tri bikes aren't generally known for. SRAM Force components are plenty solid too, making this very fast bike a wheel upgrade away from a bike in a category twice its price.
Giant Trinity Advanced Pro 2$3,100 4 of 11
You'll either love or hate the new color schemes on the Giant Trinity Advanced Pro 2. Aesthetics aside, the Trinity lineup stacks up well in wind tunnel numbers against some of the best bikes available. And while some bikes aren't quite so fast when you include hydration systems and storage compartments, the integration of these units on the Trinity means it's just as fast on the road as it is in the tunnel. Shimano Ultegra components and Giant's own PA-2 aero wheels complete the package.
QuintanaRoo PRthree$3,600 5 of 11
Utilizing trickle-down technology from the higher priced PRfive and PRsix, the PRthree features a similar frame design and geometry to create a quality race bike at just a fraction of the price. It can also be built using only two hex wrenches, which makes disassembly a breeze, and is easily adjusted to dial in fit. The PRthree can be purchased in one of two builds—a Shimano 105 version that retails for $2,500, and a race wheel upgrade option for $3,600.
Pinarello Bolide TT$14,500 (frame only) 6 of 11
That's right—almost $15,000 for a bike that does not include wheels, handlebars or any other components. What you will get for all that money is a frame and fork that's awfully close to the bike Bradley Wiggins rode to the hour record—which pretty much makes it the fastest bike on the planet (yes, Brad had something to do with it, too). While the standard Bolide frame is a bike fast enough for Tour de France winner Chris Froome, the 2017 TT version is 350 grams lighter without sacrificing any of its stiffness. New downtube shaping improves aerodynamics when used with a bottle, and a redesigned rear brake make small improvements to a bike that was already near perfect.
Diamondback Andean$4,779 7 of 11
If there's one new bike we're excited to see, its Diamondback's Andean. Designed without the UCI in mind, Diamondback pushed the envelope to see just how fast a bike they could come up with in a world with no restrictions. Large airfoil sections stretching from wheel to wheel make its appearance more like a motorcycle than a bicycle, which the company claims improves straight-line aerodynamics as well as crosswinds—something we may need to see to believe. Each bike will be built according to your own specs in Diamondback's custom design house, with options ranging from $4,779 up to $8,069.
Fuji Norcom Straight 2.1$3,169 8 of 11
If components and build matter to you, the Norcom Straight 2.1 deserves your consideration. You will find better frames at this price, but the mix of Shimano Ultegra components and Oval Concepts 950 wheels are as good as it's going to get at this price point—and will make a difference on race day. Fuji's C5 carbon and a redesigned bottom bracket is said to improve stiffness by about 26 percent, which should provide a noticeable difference in overall speed out on the road.
Scott Plasma RC$6,999 9 of 11
First off, let's just say a bike at this price should have better wheels than the Syncros Race 22s. If it did, the RC might be able to reach up into superbike territory, because the frame really is that good. In fact, Sebastian Kienle won the World Championships in Kona on this bike—with, of course, a different wheelset. Shimano Ultegra Di2 and the Plasma 5 aero drink and storage boxes are included in the build.
Orbea Ordu M30$2,199 10 of 11
Orbea has bikes at a very good value in its lineup, but the Ordu M30 might be the best of the bunch. A Vision cockpit, a Prologo saddle, Shimano 105 components and a strong and light OME carbon frame should make this a beginner's dream bike. And if you're looking for an even better component package for a slight uptick in price, the Ordu M20 ($2,689) and M20Di ($3,499) are other solid options for mid-level racing.

Dr. Daniel Herman, lead investigator of a three-year study that examined the effect of protective headgear use on concussion incidence in female high school players, provided the first detailed presentation of the research findings during the 2021 USA Lacrosse Sports Medicine Symposium, presented by MedStar Health.
Herman’s 16-minute presentation is available in its entirety below.
The research team reported a 59 percent greater incidence of concussion in players not wearing headgear specifically designed for women’s lacrosse. This value increased to 74 percent when only considering concussion incidence during games, but was lower (42 percent) when solely focused on practices.
The research study was jointly funded by USA Lacrosse and NOCSAE.

The temporary solution was to remove one fuse and replace another blown , and remove the bulb from the bad dome light. If it fails, hold the gas pedal all the way in and then try and start it. Room Fuse would immediately blow when replaced - as a result, no audio, auto doors, interior lights, etc. Unless the dealer did something stupid. I wish … they'd design these things with maintenance in mind. Loaded a new 15amp one.
Crank for 4 seconds, pause for 2 seconds, repeat for about a minute 5. Stand on throttle until white smoke stops coming out of the exhaust 12. After you are done with that use the wrench of ratchet, there are two bronze bolts in the little cutout in the glove box attached to a metal bar, take those two bolts out. Not in manual, but when you start the car press and hold the auto button for 10 seconds, this will program the unit to your auto aircon. Take it to a dealer.
There may be a relay that is sticking open for that door motor. I bought this unit 2 weeks ago, it does everything I need it to. Put air pump connector back on see note 3 15. First pop off the side pannels, the only over your fuse box and the passanger side same location. I would try disconnecting the lock switch on that door first, then if it still occurs try disconnecting lock or window the one on the drivers side.
Bought my 2011 F-150 used in 2014. In any cold climate, especially in climates with higher humidity, this water may be more excessive. You will need five components: 1. Pull the radio out slowly from below the dashboard, about one to two inches. Tried again and the 15amp fuse blew.
Here is the adapter you will need: You can hook up your an amplifier and subwoofer to your stock stereo. This should release the caliper, pull the caliper off the disc. The installation is very easy even for one who has no car electronics knowledge, like me as long as you purchase the correct wiring harness. I pulled the main fuses under the hood. I bought it to replace the 13 year old radio in my truck, and boy, what a difference. It occurs when you start a cold engine and shut it off before it reaches normal operating temperature.
Lastly, connect your subwoofer to your after market amplifier using the speaker wire in the amplifier wiring kit. . If you are listening to music and a call comes in, the adapter automatically switches off the music and switches to bluetooth phone connection. The audio quality is also much better than the original radio. It is a single bolt, not the two screws that are together.
Use jumper cables to connect to another car battery. A simple trick to finding a short is to replace the blown fuse with a pair of spade terminals, then use small jumper wires to connect them to a 12 volt light bulb. Remove the caliper, 2 bolts, then the bracket bolts, 2 bolts. Mar 02, 2009 The radio screws holding the radio are not tight enough. Then drill a hole somewhere near or beside your reference point. There are star screwdriver screws on the side pannles and on the upper rim of the g … love box.
I like the way this adapter works. Guys this was a super easy install and very rewarding to not have to listen to the radio.

Please forgive the length of this review, but I sincerely believe there is information in here that other reviewers have neglected to mention and will benefit you in your installation.

Make sure to use a to prevent the power wire from chaffing on the firewall that could potentially cause a short. You can find all of this here on Amazon. I used epoxy to reseat them into the studs, reassembled the unit and reinstalled. Drive slowly and test the brakes. You can reset it with the familiar procedure: 1 Turn the key to on 2 Depress the brake pedal rapidly 20 times in a row until the oil pressure gauge sweeps to halfway and back again. Removing fuse 5 may have solved the problem, but the other fuse blew while I was testing the dome lights, and the jeep will not start without it.

Service was prompt, but we did not feel rushed. Server was knowledgable and made good recommendations. The view was amazing and ever-changing. The restaurant was quiet. Dessert was complimentary for a birthday celebration.
We had two birthdays in the family and chose Prairie 360 as we were looking for a different experience. We had been to this restaurant over ten years ago for lunch and thought it was time to go again. The outdoor glass elevator is worth taking on the way up and the ambience and view were both memorable and enjoyed by our group of 8. We all enjoyed our meals choosing the salmon, steak and thai bowls and both birthday desserts offered. They took care of our parkade tickets as well. All in all a very pleasant and warm reception and experience. We went for the experience, the food and view and were not disappointed. A must-do for anyone looking for an enjoyable, warm and relaxed atmosphere or for a special occasion. This really is one of Winnipeg's best kept secrets.
The pork tenderloin was excellent, as was the In the Sky Canard, however the mashed vegetable that accompanied the duck had a strange texture. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was perfect for a date. The view is great for any time of day, even at night.
It was very disappointing!
The food was cold, the platters were empty and staff would not replenish them. There was no milk!!! ( this was a brunch!!) The desserts were dry and stale and definitely store- bought!The staff could not even tell us if they were peanut free!!
It was embarrassing as we had guests from Europe.
Would NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRUNCH TO ANYONE!
The view was great, obviously, but the food was good and the people were friendly!
We started with a Caesar salad, which was good. My wife had the duck and I had the striploin. Both dishes we cooked well, we just felt they were very mediocre, and the whole meal to be very expensive. The decor was outdated looking, and the restaurant was empty for 7:30 on a Friday evening. I'd rather have great food, with the view as an added bonus. It seems you're paying for the view, and the food is just secondary.
Great atmosphere, wonderful service but the food menu a little disappointing. Pasta dish was vey spicy, not enjoyable and the Greek salad was not what was expected. Sorry, but very disappointing.
Place was beautiful with the scenery and considering the rotation of the setting felt like so mind blowing that the view was worth going there! Food was decent in a way we wish our portions were bigger, but overall it was so delicious that I’d like to go back and try something else! Our server was really helpful and really accommodating.
We used to love Prairie 360. We came for my birthday / thanksgiving amd all three of us did not like our meals. The turkey was rubbery, the steak with purée was like soup and the lamb dinner was more like an appetizer. The lobster was good.
I was embarrassed that I raved about it and brought my Mother with us. Unfortunately the new menu is a significant down grade, it’s too bad. Regrettably we won’t be back. We still gave the server a 16% tip, it wasn’t his fault and he was good.
Thanks for asking for feedback, I think it’s fair to be honest. We never mind paying $200 for dinner if it’s worth it.
We took a close family friend and our granddaughter for the long-weekend Sunday brunch Thanksgiving buffet. Everyone agreed, the food is good, nothing amazing, which is our usual experience. But the view is always spectacular and today was a clear fall day, so we appreciated it. I wish there had been more than one choice of salad dressing, not just the dill-ranch, or whatever that was. We’ve found the breakfast sausages have a bit of a stale, freezer burnt taste. I was able to find pepper at the carving station but no salt, although I never asked our server. Highlights include, very good coffee, the shrimp and smoked salmon are always popular with us. The roast beef is cooked to a nice medium rare, although it’s never very warm ( that’s hard to do at a buffet I think and I prefer colder medium rare to warm well-done, any day).
We’re planning to keep coming back every once in awhile. The food is fine, the staff and service is always friendly, and the view can’t be beat, if you’re into that sort of thing. Make sure you ride the glass exterior elevator from the main floor to the 28th. Then take the interior elevator to the 30th. We were disappointed the exterior elevator was not in service for our exit ride down.
We booked our table a week before for my wife’s birthday and was so excited to dine. We waited for 40 minutes for the food to arrive and unfortunately they were wrong with my dad’s order. The food are not that terrible but the serving is so small. The ambiance is fantastic but the food was not that great. Vegies are not fresh, terrible service . We won’t recommend it as it is pricy and not worth it. Nothing is special aside from dining 30 floors up.
My wife and I came for our anniversary. Our server Cassandra was very kind and provided great service. The atmosphere was quiet, and made it easy to enjoy our dinner. The food came out in good time, and everything we had was delicious. Thank you.
The food is good but not outstanding; the reason to go is the view. It’s probably a more interesting experience for locals because you are bound to see many neighbourhoods and parts of the city you are familiar with. The view of the Museum for Human Rights and Forks area is likely of particular interest for visitors to Winnipeg.
The view is amazing and the service is very good. The collective Steak is wonderful except the side sauce that is very vinegary., same as the coleslaw of the chicken. The chicken is so so. It was kind of dry and no taste. We hope to see more on the menu list for a lot of selections like pasta and other meat selections.
Very difficult to get to. Once there very nice. Felt like amazing race to find it.
Went for our anniversary, started off well with good drinks and a tasty starter, we got the Elote which tasted very good however maybe a little bit too much goat cheese but still delicious. Then it got bad. My husband and I both ordered a steak dinner. Him the $50 14oz ribeye and myself a $45 12oz NY strip. What we got were the thinnest pieces of steak I’ve ever received and both were wildly over cooked, over seasoned and excessively charred. Mine also was not trimmed well as I got a mouthful of silver skin. Always lovely having to spit out food because you can’t physically chew it in what’s supposed to be a nice restaurant. The potatoes were dry and flavourless and the veggies were undercooked. Told our server and she seemed annoyed with us, yet at the same time seemed used to it. Sent it back and we both ordered the $33 spaghetti and meatballs instead because we didn’t trust them with grilled food anymore. Meatballs were definitely frozen before, as they were dry and bland. Pasta was drowning in sauce with too much of some sort of seasoning that made it have a bit of spice but added no real flavour. Overall we were very disappointed. The view was spectacular but the carpets were dirty, looked like water damage around some of the windows and the wall paneling by my husbands arm was falling off. They kept the lights up pretty bright so seeing outside when it got really dark was difficult and the speakers have obviously been blown as the music quality was terrible. Didn’t get any kind of discount from the terrible food, no offering of a free dessert and no real apologies either, just didn’t have to pay for the steaks. $145 for bad food, poor environment, and mediocre service? Not worth it. Save your money.
We had a fabulous time, thank you. We had a beautiful day, so good views. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, which is something very important to me as on occasions staff in other restaurants are very condescending. Very down putting in my opinion. I had a friend visiting from overseas, so it was the perfect choice. Food was great, great choices and you served a decent cup of coffee. Thank you very much. I will recommend you. I wasent sure about the noise level question, but everything was perfect.
Went for the brunch. Unfortunately did not have sugar free syrup, nor did they have salt & pepper on the table.
My out of town guests were impressed. They had heard so many negative comments about Winnipeg. They did not know a revolving restaurant existed here and helped to change their outlook of Wpg. They enjoyed the food and service also.
I booked a reservation online and they asked what the occasion was. It happened to be our anniversary but it was never mentioned to us when we arrived. Why bother asking if it means nothing anyways. We were sat at our table quickly which was nice. The table was bare with two glasses on it. When our server arrived he had asked a staff member to prepare our table. I would have preferred to have waited a few moments before seating to arrive to a prepared table. We ordered a bottle of wine and the Grand beach platter which contains clams, shrimp, mussels, lobster, chorizo, corn, and fingerling potatoes. I don’t know about you but I think lobster is best with some melted butter. But I guess that was not available. I did have some butter remaining from the bread we had to start so I put that on the lobster. Although the food was not warm enough to melt it. Oh well.
The view was the best part and why we chose this location in the first place. I feel there is so much more potential for this restaurant to be great. Maybe that is why I felt let down.
My wife and I still enjoyed our night. We tried something new and had some time to ourselves with our little one.
Ps. Our server actually did a great job and without him I don’t think this review would have been written the same.
The server was pleasant, but he just seemed a bit off. There were a few things that were unavailable on the menu and he informed us in sort of an awkward way. The food was okay, but nothing amazing. The manager greeted us with a somewhat aloof manner and I didn't see him smile once all night long.
The view is wonderful.
Entertaining visitors to Winnipeg /Manitoba and this is the perfect place to view our beautiful city. Menu has good variety. Food was ok but it was later on a Sunday and am sure that had an effect. Service was very good. Would definitely return.
They had meat carving station located away from other food but right beside the deserts.. ...a bit odd. No salt or pepper had to find waitress then wait...food cold by then.
Waitress was nice enough and good at her job just didn't like the salt and pepper thing.
we waited over 1 hour for our food, it also came out cold , plate sizes are small and over priced ,the only good experience was the view of the city
Arrived a few mins early for our reservation. Ordered Korean fried chicken half order, lamb and a tenderloin dish. Food took over 1 hr to arrive. Waitress only when asked mentioned their was a large group that was the cause of the delay. Lamb was tasteless, room temp and veggies cold. Fried chicken skin was not crispy. We were wondering is this really fried?. Dessert was un impressive. All in all a baf experience that was over priced. I would not come back only for drinks.
You come for the view, not the food.
I had a rib eye steak and I paid $50, argh. It was not worth the money. Flat and cold; it was a bit tender though so I ate it. It was supposed to come with mashed potato, but came with small cold potatoes. I also ordered the peppercorn sauce which of course, was cold too. And it was the wierdest peppercorn sauce, white/yellowish with two small peppers in it.
My wife had the duck and she actually enjoyed it though it was a bit cold too. I know the food has to be prepped downstairs, but come on: on a plane, 30000 feet above ground they can serve a hot meal.
You have to do better.
Great views, good service, we had the skillet and felt it could use more flavour.
Good food and service with a stunning 360 degree view of greater Winnipeg
I was very excited for my nite at Prairie 360 but was very discouraged by the menu upon arrrival. Several selections were sold out and everything from the appetizer to the dinner meal was average or below average.
The plates lacked any appeal at all and taste was average at best.
I would auggest the chef look at updating the dinner selection.
I will be attempting to come back for lunch and see if its any more appealing
Sorry for the subpar review but overall i was disappointed
This was the 1st time I have taken advantage of the brunch, but 3rd time I have been to Prarie 360. Each time has been a wonderful visit with great food and wonderful service.
We were sooo disappointed with our latest visit. We have been here on several occasions & were always pleased. Not so this time!
1) we brought our daughter & SIL for their 10th Wedding Anniversary ..the Restaurant & our Server were aware but the occasion was not recognized despite us seeing many desserts bearing Sparklers to mark celebrations at other tables
2) we ordered Appetizers & had to ask for cutlery
3) 3 guests ordered Lobster & again, we had to ask for Lemon & melted butter!
4) one guest ordered the 4oz Tenderloin & it came swimming in the Purée ..and since the Server had taken our side plates away & not replaced then, there was no place to be rid of all the purée.
Such a huge disappointment..expected more from Prairie 360 and a $400 Dinner.
Returned to celebrate our son's 20th birthday. Had visited Prairie 360 in March for our anniversary & had a great experience so thought we'd try it again. Sadly, it did not compare to our visit in March. Although, I had noted that we were celebrating a birthday, there was no acknowledgement of the occasion. I heard our server asking folks behind us if they were celebrating a special day but did not ask us or offer a birthday dessert. We ordered the charcuterie board as an appy as we loved it previously. This time, the selection wasn't as good/diverse & the toasted baguettes were rock hard. For dinner, my husband ordered a NY Steak. It did not look like the right cut and had so much gristle! My son ordered the duck & was happy with it. I shared the Grand Beach platter with my younger son. It was humongous! Some of the shellfish was quite overcooked but a dish this large would be hard to get it a consistent temp, I imagine. It was much too spicy for me but it seemed to be parts of the dish where the seasoning was heavier than others (you could visibly see it). All 4 of us ordered dessert. It was very good. The sugar coating on the creme brule was a little too thick but otherwise very good. It was a nice time but I wish the experience was as nice as our first time; down to the quality of the food & to the attention of the staff. The waitress was nice & refilled the water often but attention to our special occasion would have made all the difference. For spending over $300 (including a good tip), I expect a higher quality experience.
My experience was fair, it felt like my waiter needed to spend more time explaining the dishes and options. After ordering we found out after there was kids menus where our kids could actually order from.
The service was awesome and the foods were great. The most attractive thing was to watch the city like from the sky. One complete round takes about one hour. We watched the views from daylight to the dark. It was amazing!
The negative thing was hard to find the way to get back to the parkade after the meal.
Of course, great views of Winnipeg. The food, however, was very well executed, flavorful, and of a much higher quality than would be expected for the price. In other words, great value for excellent food.
Great view and good food! Plan on staying a while to get in the sunset in fall time. Spectacular view of the city. Excellent ribeye! Done to perfection. Plus they cover your parking as a bonus. We don't do alcohol so their non-alcoholic beverages are worth checking out. Cheesecake is tops!
Terrific service, good selection of menu items, fresh ingredients, and unparallelled view of Winnipeg. Prairie 360 is one of my regular go to restaurant destinations.
The service was excellent, the food good (the pastries were overbaked and dry), the cups dirty. Our server explained they had changed the dish detergent or something of that nature. They need to go back to what they had before, because all four cups on our table were dirty.
I couldn’t understand how my 10 month old was charged in $3.75, even if she ate nothing.
No explanation provided, I had to discount the service fee.
Took us a while to figure out the elevators to get there! Could not take elevator up from parking level, had to go through main concourse.
Unfortunately, it doesnt matter what you do a buffet never has food that is kept as hot as it should be.

The idea behind the Byington Automotive car is to use a combination of technology to build the best car that can be built in a garage.
We use the suspension and steering from the first generation Mazda Miata. The miata is well know throughout the racing world as one of the most fun and best handling cars of all time. The great handling is especially important to us, we don't just want to have a car that looks good parked in the garage but that is just as comfortable on the track.
The transmission we sourced from a Subaru WRX. The WRX is an incredible car with a huge following of tuners with lots of aftermarket support this allows for countless options for gearing depending on your setup. So we simply disconnect the back half of the Subaru all wheel drive and add our adapter kit to the back of the transmission.
We wanted a small powerful engine to make it move so we choose the Ford 3.5L ecoboost as the power plant. It's direct injected twin turbo setup seemed like a perfect fit for our car, it's V6 size and V8 power sits directly behind the passengers creates an amazing weight balance.
Finally we tie it all in to our custom built space frame chassis and hand laid composite body using race proven methods to create a safe, and strong platform ready for whatever you throw at it.

The third symphony marks the apotheosis of Routh’s musical journey, utilising and developing material from key previous works, stretching back to The Manger Throne, Op 3, in 1959. The first movement is derived from Prelude V of The Well Tempered Pianist, Op 77, with the addition of a second subject and symphonic development. The second movement is a fuller treatment of Prelude XXII of The Well Tempered Pianist, Op 77, which had already been transcribed for chamber orchestra as Elegy, Op 78. The third movement is the full orchestral version of the final movement, La Volta, of the Suite for String Orchestra, Op 59.
