Rhino2 20 and AMP 11.9 (16.2):
Wind: about 4.5-5.5 Bft
Bar Lenght: 55cm
Riders Weight: 80 and 2x 90 kgs
Boards Size: 133 + 155
The AMP 11.9 makes a lot of fun to ride. It turns quick and when you want to jump it can be steered back quick and therefore it boosts you out high. The lift is great and the hangtime is good as well.
Looping it in turns no problem.
It depowers good, never had a tough time with gusts.
In the lower windrange (4.5) it still pulls enough to have fun and do nice jumps. Unfortunately we couldn't test the low end at around 4 Bft, which would have been very interesting. We didn't test the relaunch.
The quality looks good, didn't see any problems or week points.
Riding it on the outer attachment points will give you less steering pressure and make the ride very relaxing. If you want more steering forces, just choose the inner attachment points.
The Rhino2 20.0 in these winds is a tough call.
In general the Rhino2 pulls like a machine, very impressive.
But it is fast at its limits and you have to edge very hard all the time.
Keep it low or go downwind if you keep it close to the zenith.
In low winnds it starts early, but the upper windrange is not as good as other kites, but therefore you experience a "wing" when it comes to jumping. With 5 Bft we were so powered up, but it still was possible to turn the kite (for a 20 sqm kite it is unbelieveable fast!!!) and get some high and looooooong air. I never expected a 20 sqm to go so high. And with 20 sqm it is just flying. It is a good practise kite, if you want to learn tricks like rotations you just pull the bar and you float with enough time to make nonsens. It is stable in the air and you can't do much wrong.
In turns you can still loop it,but it takes some time until it is all the way around. The optimal windrange should be about upper 3 to upper 4 Bft.
Also depending on your weight and boardsize.
The quality is good and now you can even take out the battens at the tip, since they are really wide and you can't fold them up small.
We didn't test the restart.
X3 14.0 + Rhino2 14.0
Wind: 4.5-5.5 and 5.5-7 Bft
Bar: 55cm
Riders Weight: 80 and 2x 90 kgs
Boards Size: 133 + 155
In this size the Rhino2 14.0 pulls more like the X3 14.0.
The low end of the R2 is better. We think the X3 has a little bit less power than the X2 14.0. The R2 has a good lift and excellent hangtime.
But it turns slower than the X3 and has more pressure on the bar if you fly both on the outter connection points.
The X3 got a bigger windrange, since we were able to fly it up to 7 Bft and it was still controlable without being on the absolute limit.
I had in comparision the X2 10 and I had tough times while my buddies were havening relaxing fun with the X3 14.0.
The X3 flies more into the window and therefore can be hold in stronger winds. Looping the kite in turns is a lot of fun with the X3.
Lift is like the R2, maybe a bit more, but therefore the R2 has a bit more hangtime, if you jump the same height.
Both qualities are good.
I tested the restart of the X3 and was amazed, how fast I got it up again.
This is a big improvement towards the X2.
A friend also tested the X3 10.0, but according to him he didn't like it so much compared to the X2 10, which has more power, starts earlier and has more lift and hangtime.
Pls note that these are our opinions according to our style, you might think different about it and expereinced it in a different way.

Specialty retailer Charming Charlie operates more than 240 retail stores in the United States where it sells fashion accessories like scarves, jewelry and purses. It's opening those stores at a fast clip—more than 20 in the last four months alone—and is laying the groundwork to launch direct-to-consumer e-commerce at CharmingCharlie.com in August.
The retailer is staffing up its web team—it anticipates going from a three-person web team today to 25 by the end of 2013—but one of the first things Kim LaFleur, Charming Charlie's vice president of e-commerce, did when she joined the retailer three months ago was fix how Charming Charlie showed up in search engine results.
With most of the company's focus on stores, LaFleur says there was little internal infrastructure dedicated to managing Charming Charlie's web presence. Store locator pages were static, hard to update and, because of the way the pages were constructed, search engines weren't indexing the information on them, she says. Maps on store locator pages, for example, were screen grabs from online map programs, with the store operations team manually adding an X to mark a store location.
Nor was it easy to keep store operating hours up to date. "What was happening is that someone would sometimes update a Word document when something changed and provide it to the internal team," LaFleur says. "But it was often tough for the small team dedicated to the web to keep up with the newest information."
That meant that often consumers who queried "Charming Charlie" on Google or Bing didn't get a helpful result. Over the holiday season, Charming Charlie began working with Rio SEO, a vendor of automated search engine optimization services, to better ensure that when consumers searched for Charming Charlie or the products it sells, they got a relevant search result.
Rio SEO created search-engine-friendly store locator pages that include accurate store addresses and phone numbers, and also feature maps supplied via Google Maps. "Google always likes it when you use their products," LaFleur says. The URL structure is location-based as well, which can help with search engine optimization. For example, the web address for the store locator page for stores in the Chicago area reads: il.chicago.charmingcharlie.com.
The changes have made a dramatic impact on Charming Charlie's visibility in search engine results, LaFleur says. When a consumer now searches for "fashion accessories" and the name of a city or area that has a Charming Charlie store, the retailer now shows up on the first page of results nearly all the time, she says. When a consumer uses a location-specific keyword to the search—say "fashion accessories, Chicago"—search engines more often return a result now that includes nearby store information on the first page of results as well. Rio SEO says local store information was 3.7 times more likely to appear on such a search on Google, 1.8 times more likely to appear on Yahoo, and 1.5 times more likely to appear on Bing during the month following the implementation of the SEO-friendly pages than during the month prior. LaFleur says she sends Rio SEO an updated file each week with information about new or coming store additions or closures and changes in operating hours. Rio SEO updates those items automatically.
LaFleur says this is only Charming Charlie's first step at improving search engine optimization as it gets ready to launch its e-commerce-enabled web site this summer. That site will be built on eBay Inc.'s Magento Enterprise e-commerce platform. LaFleur says she intends, with Rio SEO, to incorporate non-branded terms, like "fashion accessories" into the retailer's search engine optimization strategy. She also plans on getting Charming Charlie information into core data aggregators like InfoUSA, which she says will help the retailer in organic search results.

Rihanna hinted on Twitter that her new album could be dropping in the coming months, teasing in her first post on the social networking site that "the wait is ova" on Nov. 23.
Rihanna created a Twitter page late Tuesday afternoon, writing only the cryptic post marked with the November date. Her page also features a link-out to her Web site, which also advertises "the wait is ova," attached to an image of a jagged R on the site's home page.
This would be the fourth album for Rihanna, whose first three studio records all topped the Billboard charts. Her third album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," released in 2007, featured five top ten hits -- "Umbrella," "Take a Bow," Disturbia," "Don't Stop the Music" and "Hate That I Love You" and earned Rihanna nine Grammy Award nominations.
U.S. & World
This would be Rihanna's first time back in the studio since her altercation with R&B superstar Chris Brown, who battered his ex-girlfriend after a fight in February.
Brown was sentenced to community service earlier this year for the fight, which left Rihanna with a black-and-blue face and bruised lip, featured in a picture that circulated through the media after being leaked by the LAPD.
Rihanna, 21, was born in Barbados and moved to the United States at 16 to pursue her career.

The Google Play Store just launched a new promotion called Play Picks 2013. Music lovers who happen to own an Android device can download a selection of 2013's most popular songs for free.
Some of the selections aren't surprising. Kanye West, Arcade Fire, and Drake claimed the top three spots, while the rest of the list was populated by indie artists like CHVRCHES and more popular personalities like Rihanna.
However, The Verge writes that there is one catch. You'll have to give Google your credit card number. The downloads are free, but Google needs this information to verify your account.
Fortunately, Google Play will refer you to several discounted albums to purchase such as Lorde's Pure Heroine to make this sale even better. Other big albums from 2013 that are available for a special download include Katy Perry's PRISM and Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.
Act fast since this is a limited time sale.
You can download all the songs and albums here.

Our colleague Elizabeth Reis asks: Is intersex a disorder or a competitive advantage? The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is implicitly considering this question as they explicitly grapple with how to handle athletes who have an intersex condition, a discrepancy between genitals, internal sex anatomy (ovaries or testes), hormones, and chromosomes. Intersex bodies have always aroused suspicion on and off the playing field. Now they are under scrutiny again as doctors and sports officials debate whether some naturally occurring factors, like an unusually high level of testosterone, would give certain female athletes an unfair edge over other women in sporting events. You can read more about this issue here.
Elizabeth Reis is the author of Bodies in Doubt: An American History of Intersex (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009). She is associate professor of women's and gender studies and history at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

This is a concise, sensitive, and scientifically accurate analysis of intersex issues in sports competition. Ms. Reis is both an expert in the field and a writer who expresses difficult concepts clearly and without jargon.
- Cindy said...
It is without a doubt one of the most controversial issues to come out. Why can't athletes be judged on their abilities instead of sex organs?

Today I am going to teach you how to make the second project from my "Fun with Fleece" series. It is a fleece Jumper (or tunic, depending how long you make it. I actually was thinking this year a Jumper, next year a Tunic). It is a really easy, fun little sewing project you can sew up in an evening...Let's get right to the point!
What you will need:
1/2 yard fun printed fleece
Scraps of thick knit material (i cut up an old pair of jogging pants)
You can download my pattern here for size 3-4T or take the bodice piece of a t-shirt pattern you have and make it as long as a dress or tunic. You just need the front and back bodice, no sleeves.
Cut one front dress piece and one back dress piece from fleece.
Cut one pouch piece from your knit material
Cut two strips (as long as the width of the bodice) and 3.5" wide
Cut a long strip for the neckline and the armholes, 2.5" by however long you have (since I used an old pair of jogging pants, I didn't have enough material for one long strip, so I sewed a few short ones together).
Sew the shoulder seams.
Measure your front and back neckline
My measurements are:
Back neckline 6.5"
Front neckline 10"
Cut 2 pieces of your long strip to those measurements. Sew them right sides together, using 1/2 " seam allowance (You want your strip to be a bit smaller than your actual neckline, so it won't stretch out).
Now fold your strip in half on the long side and pin to the neckline, raw edges together. Start pinning the seams from the band to the shoulder seams. Then continue pinning, stretching the band a bit as you go.
Sew the band to the neck, using a stretch stitch. Flip the band up and then topstitch around the neck, using a stretch stitch and sewing the seam allowance down towards the dress (away from the neckband).
Take your pouch piece and fold the rounded parts (the pocket openings) over 1/4" and pin. Sew along the fold.
Fold the top of the pouch and the bottom fold 1/4" and pin.
Now place your pouch onto the front bodice and pin. Sew along the top and the bottom (do not sew the pocket openings). You can use a decorative stitch or just a regular one.
Sew side seams
Now take the rest of your strip and sew it onto the armholes, in the same manner you did the neck. My strips were 7" long (two for each arm).
Last part - Take your two rectangles and sew them right sides together to form a loop. The fold them on the long side, wrong sides together, and pin them to the bottom of the jumper, lining up the raw edges and sew around. Topstitch around and you are done!
Make a pair of leggings and a long sleeve shirt to match and you have a whole outfit! (I made the leggings from the rest of the jogging pants and the shirt is upcycled from a shirt I didn't want anymore...).
I will be linking up to some of the link parties on this page .

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – William 'Chris' Pettry, was a Chicago Bears fan in town from Illinois to watch the Bears play the Jaguars. Now, the State Attorney's Office is prosecuting Matthew Hinson for murder. The State Attorney's office says Hinson slashed Pettry's throat after Pettry was talking with Hinson's wife in the bar.
Pettry's wife, Karen, said she is not only grieving and left alone to raise their kids, but she also told Channel 4 that she's getting the cold shoulder from the State Attorney's Office on what's happening in the Hinson trial.
"I guess two days ago they had a pretrial," said Pettry. "I had to go on the computer and look it up. Of course I don't understand what any of that is anyway. Had to look it up on my own and tell my family. And of course everyone contacts me because they think I'm being informed and I'm not."
Pettry said she has to rely on information that's mostly second-hand and media reports of what's going on in the case. She told Channel 4 she found out that Hinson (booking photo, right) had plead not guilty to killing her husband through the media.
In November, Pettry drafted a letter to the State Attorney's Office about waiting for information stating, "I just want the court to know that even though I cannot be there I'm hoping justice is served. So even if we are not in the courtroom doesn't mean we are not waiting for the verdict here in Illinois."
Living in Illinois, Pettry said she feels helpless, not knowing what's happening with her husband's alleged killer.
"I just wish they were more in communication with me so I can let the family here know and don't have to hunt things down and find thing ourselves. When you read stuff I don't even know what happened," said Pettry.
Pettry wrote a letter to the State Attorney's Office last month, which said it had responded thought the matter had been addressed.
In a statement to Channel 4, a State Attorney's Office spokeswoman said said, "In the last week alone, three emails have gone back and forth between Mrs. Pettry and the SAO regarding her questions and the upcoming pre-trial hearing in the case. Mrs. Pettry had her questions answered and did not relay to us any concerns about communication with this office."
When Channel 4 spoke Pettry, she expressed a lot of concerns to us about seeking justice for her husband's murder.
"I just want to let them know we care about them even though we're not there and I just want justice," said Pettry.

Guerlain Ombre Eclat 4 Shade Eyeshadow Les Perles
The palette contains a light baby pink, white, silver and a smoky grape.
I had a bit of hesitation when I initially saw this at the counter as I thought it would go on overly frosty and the three lighter colours would just be too light so that they looked stark.
I have been proved wrong, instead of a frost I would say the look is shimmery and luminous and the silver and grape have enough colour to give definition.
I think this is a beautiful palette and Guerlain are really up there for me in terms of eye shadows; smooth, good pigment and they just blend so well I really don't have to work with them at all to get the look I want.
I bought this from Debenhams

i think this is a really nice palette and can be so useful!!!ReplyDelete
PS:nice blog by the way-new follower here!!!
Hi Maria,ReplyDelete
Thanks :) It is a lovely palette, I was surprised how much I like it as I did worry it would be frost city :)
Sooooo gorgeous! :) I want it!ReplyDelete
Those look so very gorgeous on you! Impeccable and envy-worthy blending as always :).ReplyDelete
I just bought Les Cuirs (browns) from the collection and am really liking it. The texture and luminosity of these powders are quite fabulous.
Nina x
Very pretty! Thanks for the swatches xReplyDelete
Hi Vintage Makeup,ReplyDelete
Its so easy to get enticed by Guerlain :)
Hi Nina,
Thank you, you do say the nicest things ;) I still feel tempted by Les Curis but I think there was one shade that looked really warm. Like you say these are quite fabulous, Guerlain seem a much more popular brand than they were say 5 years ago x
Hi Jane,
I was trying to think if you had picked one of these palettes up yet as I think they have quite a few that would work well with your colourings x
This looks lovely on you! I really like these Guerlain palettes and this is one of the first that caught my eye :)ReplyDelete
Hi Makeup Magpie,ReplyDelete
Thank you :) I bought the roses one at the same time so I'll get a review up on that one soon, I've got a bit of a thing for these palettes :)

UPDATE: The Golden Gate Labor Coalition has announced a change of plans. Instead of Golden Gate Bridge pickets, the coalition will be supporting a strike of ferry workers, who plan to bring all morning ferry service to a standstill. They have announced that the actions at the Golden Gate Bridge are cancelled, and instead workers will be demonstrating in solidarity with ferry workers in Larkspur- specific locations will be announced later today.
May 1, International Workers Day — May Day — used to strike fear into the hearts of bosses. The first May Day in 1867 was a fight for the eight-hour workday in Chicago (see more history at Citizen Radio at the Occupy Oakland Tribune). Since then, May 1 has remained a day when grievances are aired, when students and workers party in the street, when people strike in ways that shows whose really boss (you can't have that work that keeps everything running without all those workers.) But mostly in other countries.
In the US, the day has diminished in importance, although it has resurged in recent years focused on immigrants rights. But what with Occupy Wall Street, labor and union organizing ramping up, and student strikes, and all these people working more and more closely together, May Day is coming back to the US.
The Bay Area certainly won't be left out. Here is a list of May Day events, starting tonight and ending–well, who knows when. If you know of others, write them in the comments: it wouldn't be a decentralized massive attempt at a full-on general strike without you!
THE NIGHT BEFORE (Mon/30)
5:30pm, San Francisco:
City workers from SEIU Local 1021 will gather at City Hall in a continued offensive surrounding their ongoing contract negotiations. The program runs until 7:30 pm, but the protest will go on "until they kick us out!"
8pm, San Francisco:
"The strike starts early" with a gathering at Dolores Park. According to a press release, demonstrators will meet "for a ruckus street party to counter gentrification, capitalism, and the policing of our communities." www.strikemay1st.com/the-strike-starts-early
MAY DAY (Tue/1)
All day:
National Nurses United/California Nurses United is on strike at Sutter Health locations throughout the Bay Area. According to a press release, "some 4,500 RNs will be affected by the planned walk-out."
ILWU Local 10, which worked in solidarity with Occupy Oakland in two port shutdowns last fall, is planning another one. They say that a work stoppage will halt the Port of Oakland's operations all day.
7-10am, San Francisco:
The Golden Gate Bridge labor coalition, representing several unions of workers on the bridge, have been without a contract since April 2011. They originally called for a strike and resulting shut down of the bridge- and had massive support behind them. They're now saying the protest will involve picketing at the bridge instead. So come join a picket, or if you cross the bridge don't take the workers for granted- the bridge doesn't work without them. www.occupythebridge.com
7am, San Francisco:
Meet at 16th st and Mission to be a part of the first SF Bike Cavalry of the day, a critical mass that will ride to the Golden Gate Bridge in solidarity with the picket. www.sfbikecavalry.org
8:30am – 12pm, Oakland:
Occupy Oakland will join others protesting, picketing, and generally striking at three (or four?) "action stations." Meet at Snow Park for a "flying picket" that will "shut down banks and the Chamber of Commerce." Meet at First and Broadway to "occupy Child Protective Services" in response to a decision they made to de-grant custody of one woman's children based in part on her involvement in Occupy Oakland. Meet at 22nd and Telegraph to cause mayhem at uptown and downtown business associations. www.strikemay1st.com/119/
10am, San Francisco:
A rally and march for immigrants rights (the people who have been holding down US May Day for years.) Meet at 24th St Mission Bart for a march to 16th St.
11am, San Francisco:
Janitors and retail workers at Westfield Mall are engaged in an ongoing labor dispute, and they'll be picketing in solidarity at 5th and Market.
11am, San Francisco:
A second SF Bike Cavalry will convene at Justin Herman Plaza to support the janitors strike, the immigrants' rights march, and the Peoples Street Festival
11:30am, Hayward:
The Amalgameted Transit Union Local 192 will protest "substandard conditions" and "institutionalized racism" (according to a press release) at the operators of AC Transit, A-Para Transit Corporation, 22990 Clawiter Rd in Hayward.
12pm, San Francisco:
All the San Francisco students who walk out of school, workers who call in sick, people who usually do all the housework, who, for the day, say screw it, and other "general strike" participants will converge at Montgomery and Market for the People's Street Festival. Music, performance, art and fun for the whole family.
Noon-1pm, Oakland:
A mass rally in Oakland, at 14th and Broadway, with food, speakers, music, activities, and generally a lot to do that you can't if you're at work.
1-3pm, Oakland:
According to Occupy Oakland "After the rally, those in attendance have the opportunity to stay downtown or join one of the autonomous actions that will be departing from 14th & Broadway to continue shutting down various capitalist institutions in the downtown area."
3pm, Oakland:
Meet at Fruitvale Plaza (next to the Fruitvale Bart station) for likely the biggest action of the day. The March for Dignity and Resistance is being called the Bay Area's regional protest and supporters will be there from all over the area. mayday2012.blogspot.com
6pm, San Francisco:
Celebrate workers rights at a fundraiser for Young Workers United, a self-described "multi-racial and bilingual membership organization dedicated to improving the quality of jobs for young and immigrant workers." The party is at El Rio, 3158 Mission. www.occupysf.org
On May Day, local groups who have taken to occupying spaces in ways other than public square-camping will be ramping up their efforts. The occupied farm at Gill Tract will push on, and in a message from Occupy San Francisco: "On May Day, the SF Commune will open it's doors and conduct another Open Occupation in solidarity with the May 1st General Strike." So if you're looking for someone to sleep while protesting a complex web of oppressive forces Tuesday night, you may be in luck.
For more information, see www.strikemay1st.com, a clearinghouse for Bay Area May Day plans.

Nissan Qashqai QASH RICH (80/100)
Improvements to Nissan's second generation Qashqai Crossover make like even more difficult for this mid-sized SUV model's host of imitators. Jonathan Crouch takes a look
Ten Second Review
These days, the Nissan Qashqai is sleeker, feels more expensive inside and offers some of the most sophisticated electronic safety technology in the mid-sized SUV Crossover sector. Improvements to the 1.5-litre dCi diesel that most customers choose have enhanced its appeal. Plus there's a revised, more powerful 1.3-litre DIG-T petrol engine and the option of DCT automatic transmission in the front-driven-only range. There's a reason why this Nissan is sunch a hugely popular contender in the mid-sized SUV segment.
Some automotive success stories are easy to predict. We all knew that the Audi R8 was a winner as soon as we drove it. Likewise, the Fiat 500 couldn't possibly fail once it made it to the showrooms virtually unchanged from the fantastic Trepiuno show car. But the Nissan Qashqai? That this unprepossessing vehicle should rack up some huge sales came right out of left field. Its predecessor, the Almera, could have been a synonym for mediocrity. Nissan played a really smart move though. They tore up the established supermini/family hatch/family saloon rulebook and started flooding the market with crossovers and SUVs. Some, like the Murano and the Pathfinder, never gelled with the public. Others, such as the X-Trail and the Juke, hit the targets. Then there was the Qashqai, which in 2007 found itself challenging the biggest-selling hatchbacks in the sales charts. A second generation version was launched in 2013 and this car has since been tweaked and upgraded to keep it competitive against an army of mid-sized Crossover rivals.
Driving Experience
On the face of things, not much has changed on this Qashqai in recent years in terms of its drive dynamics, though Nissan insists that under the skin, modifications to the suspension, damping and steering systems have resulted in a more refined on-the-road experience, plus refinement's better too. The range is now focused on front wheel drive, with suspension calibration performed in Europe to suit European tastes. Across the range, there's Active Trace Control which monitors the behaviour and trajectory of the car, and applies subtle braking to deliver a function similar to a Limited Slip Differential, providing the best traction and the least understeer. There's also a dual mode steering system which changes the weighting of the electrically-assisted rack when you select the Sport setting. Engine-wise, buyers get the choice of two downsized petrol units and two turbodiesels. The petrol powerplants comprise an 1.3-litre DIG-T offering that drives through a six-speed manual box with 140hp - or is offered with manual transmission or a DCT automatic when it has 160hp. Most customers will doubtless be drawn to the 115hp 1.5-litre dCi diesel, which comes with manual or auto transmission.
Design and Build
The package of styling updates that Nissan introduced for Qashqai buyers in 2017 smartened this second generation design up considerably and included a completely revised front end incorporating the latest Nissan 'V-motion' grille. The headlamps were also revised with a classier version of the 'boomerang' Daytime Running Light signature. At the rear, the car's instantly recognisable 'boomerang' light motif is extended across the whole lamp, and includes a contemporary 3D lens effect to enhance the signature shape. If you haven't tried a Qashqai since this second generation version was launched in 2014, you'll notioce quite a few changes in the cabin too, where an improved layout, higher-quality materials and more advanced technology feature. The 'NissanConnect' infotainment system features a more intuitive user interface and there's a smarter D-shaped multi-function steering wheel with premium satin-chrome inserts. It features a four-way controller for the combimeter display, for easier use and less 'eyes off the road' time. The range-topping Tekna+ grade includes supportive seats trimmed in high-quality soft nappa leather and a popular option for music fans is a BOSE seven-speaker premium sound system. Practicality is as good as ever, with reasonable space in the back and decent headroom thanks to a relatively low seat height in the back. Boot space is 430-litres and load space flexibility is enhanced by a dual-floor system designed to provide a flexible and versatile load space.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £20,000 and stretch to just over £31,000 for the range-topping diesel version. The trim walk-up shouldn't spark too many surprises either, starting with 'Visia' grade and finishing with a plush 'Tekna+' variant at the top of the range. Even the entry-level model gets a decent bash at the equipment list, being furnished with cruise control, a stereo with USB and Bluetooth, heated body-coloured mirrors, air conditioning, stop/start and hill start assist. It also gets the usual safety features like ESP stability control, ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and front, side and curtain airbags. Safety-wise, there's an 'Intelligent Emergency Braking' system that features Pedestrian Recognition, plus 'Rear Cross Traffic Alert', to mitigate the risk of low-speed impacts when reversing out of a parking space, is now available on Qashqai for the first time. The car continues to be offered with Traffic Sign Recognition, Driver Attention Alert, Intelligent Park Assist, Intelligent Around View Monitor, Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning. And buyers will now be offered the option of 'ProPILOT' autonomous drive capability. Controlling the steering, acceleration and braking in a single lane on highways, this will provide consumers with more control of their vehicle and a more confident drive, plus greater freedom when they want it, whether during heavy traffic congestion or high-speed cruising.
Cost of Ownership
The 1.3-litre DIG-T petrol engine manages up to 121g/km and up to 41.4mpg in both its guises with manual transmission; a 1.3 DIG-T 160 DCT auto manages up to 122g/km and up to 40.7mpg. For the dCi 115 manual, the figures are up to 100g/km of CO2 and up to 53.3mpg for the manual model and up to 106g/km and up to 53.7mpg for the DCT auto. As well as fitting stop/start systems, reducing engine frictional losses, optimising gear ratios and reducing weight where possible, Nissan has also devoted a great deal of attention to the Qashqai's aerodynamics. With a drag co-efficient of 0.32, it cleaves the air very well for a relatively high vehicle. From the elements on show such as the roof spoiler with winglets, to those hidden away like the flat floor design, there's some clever thinking at work here. Another innovation is the Active Grille Shutter system. This closes off airflow through the radiator when not needed. The grille shutter automatically shuts at speeds over 20mph and only opens if sensors detect that the engine needs cooling.
We think Nissan has judged this one perfectly. Time and again the company has been correct in predicting customer demand and having a product right there. That's not about to change. It's worth noting that of all the Qashqai variants that are being offered to the UK public, only two feature all-wheel drive. This is a car that no longer purports to be anything remotely off-road at all. Instead, it's a model that plugs in to what buyers want, offering lifestyle looks, cutting-edge technology and an efficient ownership proposition. Even in these hard times, Nissan realises that a new car purchase needs to come with a dose of feel-good factor - perhaps now more than ever in fact. Given that reality, this Qashqai looks set to continue to cash in.

These dishes make for fine fall fare for all, whether the meal is taken in a sukkah or around a table anywhere — ideally with friends.
Tunisian stuffed vegetables with meat
Makes about 3 dozen vegetables, stuffed with meatballs.
Cookbook author and Jewish cooking authority Joan Nathan travelled all over France while researching Quiches, Kugels and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France (Alfred A. Knopf, 2010), a wildly informative book about a cuisine that is not that well known. This was one of her favourite dishes. She watched, one day in Nice, as Daisy Taïeb, who grew up in Tunis, cooked her famous meatballs stuffed into vegetables.
8 artichoke bottoms
Juice of 1 lemon
2 small eggplants
2 small zucchini
3 small red or green bell peppers
1 onion, chopped into 8 pieces
1 matzo sheet or 1/4 stale baguette
1 pound (500g) ground beef or lamb
2 cups (500 mL) fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh dill, finely chopped
1 cup (250 mL) fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 small onions, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon (15 mL) ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 mL) harissa (a hot chili sauce)
1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons (30 mL) vegetable oil, plus more for frying
3 cups (750 mL) flour or matzo meal
To prepare the vegetables for stuffing, put the artichoke bottoms in a large bowl with the lemon juice and water to cover. Cut the eggplants once down the centre lengthwise and then across the width: scoop out some of the pulp from each piece, making sure not to go all the way through the skin. You should end up with four cup-like pieces for each eggplant, plus the pulp. Cut the zucchini into three cylinders; with an apple corer, remove the centre and save the pulp. Cut the bell peppers in half widthwise, removing the pith, seeds and stem. Cut each half in two, then cut across, to make eight pieces. Separate the rings.
To make the meatballs, first soak the bread or matzo in water for a few seconds, then squeeze to drain. Break up the bread or matzo and place in a medium bowl with the meat, the cilantro, dill, parsley, onions, garlic, coriander, allspice, harissa, salt, pepper and two of the eggs. Mix well. Roll the meat mixture into balls of about 2 tablespoons (30 mL) each. Press the meat into the artichoke bottoms, the hollowed-out eggplants, the pepper pieces, the onion and the zucchini. Don't try to stuff too much into them.
Heat 2 inches (5 cm) of the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven. Put the flour or matzo meal in a bowl. Break the remaining egg into a second bowl and mix well with the 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of vegetable oil. Dip the open part of each stuffed vegetable first in the flour and then in the egg. Be gentle when handling the pieces. Fry the stuffed vegetables, meat side down, in batches of six to eight pieces, depending on the size of the pot, in the oil until meat is golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes.
For the sauce, heat a double batch of prepared tomato sauce (see recipe) in a pot and add the vegetable pulps. When sauce is warm, pour it back over the stuffed vegetables — chances are you'll need a second pot or a larger roaster to accommodate all the stuffed veggies — and then cover and simmer on the stove for about half an hour.
Tomato sauce
Makes about 2 cups (500 mL)
4 pounds (2 kg) fresh tomatoes or two 28-ounce (796 mL) cans whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon (5 mL) ground cumin
1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh cilantro, basil or parsley
If using fresh tomatoes, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in the tomatoes and leave for a minute. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the tomatoes and, when cool, peel off the skin. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the tomatoes, fresh or canned, the garlic, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, the cumin and the herbs. Simmer over slow to medium heat for about 30 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and well reduced.

Speakers – Joan Frye Williams and George Needham
The Classic Objections:
– it will never work
– we tried that…
– our patrons etc won't like it ..
– etc
Stop thinking of the Library Experience as the library experience. When we talk about that, we usually focus on what we do.
They've visited lots of libraries, and found out there's not often a true customer focus.
We need to think more about what the user does, and who they are!
Joan mentioned TSCPL! They love our mission statement – "you know us, and we know you." (cool – I wrote that part 🙂
Being held back by confidentiality – we often go for ignorance & call it privacy and confidentiality
The independent user is invisible to us.
Re-imagine the user experience!!! Yes. The experience belongs to the user.
If we imagine the user as our audience, we get mad when they don't applaud us. Interesting thought…
Patrons should start feeling successful right when they walk into the library – just like when they use google (ie., there's no user manual for google)
situational signage
Shouldn't have to use our jargon just to get started (hmm… databases fails here…)
Environments that learn from and adapt to the user is the right way to go
New ways to experience library service – layered services. A way to unfold what the library offers
Time: layer services depending on how much time the patron has
Ex – quick start guide vs complete manuals
So – set up libraries for both the "I have no time" patron tot he "I can spend a day here" patron
Place: layer services by place.
– the users aren't remote – the services are.
– the library experience takes place outside the library.
– all social networking, web, etc certainly does. iPhone apps, Facebook are examples
– Showing barcodes on signs – scan it with phone, get local info – b-tags.
– me – could you set up a b-tag for a "fact of the day" and put it in a park/mall/on the street/in a school? Hmm…
Make sure it's always about them, never about us
First Impressions:
– how does your place look on a first impression?
– how many of you use the same doors/bathrooms as the patron?
Get out from behind the desk
Org chart/service points – circ desk, ref desk, etc. For the patron, it's all part of the same story.
First point of contact – driving around building, walking into the library, etc. Who does the intercept? Usually the shelver.
– deploy staff around the library, standing up – you will increase the number of interactions
– make this intercept so that everyone, building, etc can make that intercept universal
Triage – figuring out some choice to make.
– we act as if we are the arbiters of triage (ie., the reference interview). Instead, most people do this themselves. You watch the other people instead of talking to staff. It HAS to be self-service.
I have a stupid question… translation – your library, setup, etc just made someone feel stupid. Not a good thing.
Outcomes: When a patron needs to use a computer to do a job search, the goal isn't to find a guide or do a job search … it's to find a job.
Patrons are looking for staff that want to enter into their success…
– gave an example of an academic library – student said here's what you do – find a librarian you can work with, who seems to care, and they will help you ace any class. Didn't say they will help you find a book… They are looking for success, and we need to set up our libraries that way.
Main goal – get people to come back – it's all about relationships… not stuff.
Revitalize your point of view.
"Libraries are at a crossroads" – actually, everyone's at a crossroads. Successful libraries help guide people through their crossroads. There are a lot of common ones – ie., birth, marriage, divorce, retirement, getting a job, etc.
Wane Gretsky – "I don't skate to the puck, I state to where the puck is going to be." Libraries can do this, too – we know some common transformations/crossroads – so how can we be there at those crossroads for them?
Communication of meaning – that's the business we're in. Google can't do this. We should be building this across the community. It's not transactional, it's not about the stuff. The setup of transformation is a heck of a job to be in.
Staff is also at a crossroads:
– start treating people like they're smart and independent.
– presumption of innocence – don't defend against potential disaster.
– the reference desk – feels like the seat of shame.
– respect and remember their preferences.
– look for ways to say yes.
Give respect and get respect – you have to treat every connection as if it has a transformative potential.
The library experience has that long, transformative view. It's not about the transaction.

Goblet pruned vines in the vineyard. Bunches of ripe grapes. Gamay. Domaine Tractot & Dubost, Beaujolais, France
Domaine du Tracot and Domaine Dubost, Beaujolais, Burgundy, stock photography samples, by Per Karlsson, BKWine.
THIS IS ONLY A SELECTION OF SAMPLES. Use the image SEARCH function to find more relevant photos.
Domaine du Tracot and Domaine Dubost are the property of the Dubost family in the Beaujolais. It is managed by Jean-Paul Dubost, winemaker.
It is a fairly substantial property with vineyards in several of the crus in Beaujolais: Moulin à Vent, Brouilly, Morgon, Regnié, Fleurie. The vineyards are planted with Beaujolais, the red grape variety of the Beaujolais. They also have small plots of vineyards planted with white chardonnay and viognier grapes.
The winemaking and the winery is a mix of modern and traditional. They harvest the grapes by hand, as is the rule in Beaujolais. The grapes arrive at the winery and are sorted on a sorting table to eliminate bad fruit. The winery has on one side shining stainless steel fermentation tanks, and on the other traditional concrete vats.
Being a relatively large producer in Beaujolais they export their wines to several different countries and have received positive mentions from several international wine critics.

Members of a Houston family arrested by Harris County deputy constables will have a press conference later Saturday and discuss their claims of excessive force during the arrests that began with a traffic violation outside their home.
The attorney for David Scherz Jr., 26, plans to show copies of patrol car footage showing him being kicked by a deputy as another held him down. Scherz's mother, father, sister, and an aunt were also arrested on Sept. 10, 2011 , after they came outside the home and spoke to the deputies who stopped him for running a stop sign. The felony and misdemeanor charges against the five family members were dismissed last year, after prosecutors determined there was not sufficient evidence.
Scherz, who suffered a broken rib and bruises, has brought a federal civil rights suit against Harris County and three deputy constables who arrested him after he pulled into the driveway of his home. The family has also filed complaints against the deputies with the Pct. 4 Constable Ron Hickman.

WARNING: The audio recorded during the arrest contains graphic language.

Webster's Dictionary defines a tabernacle as a temporary dwelling, which is why the Jewish holiday of Sukkot is known as the Feast of the Tabernacles. A sukkah, however, is a lot more specific than simply a temporary dwelling--which is often taken to mean something like a tent or a recreational vehicle.
THE WALLS of the sukkah may be made out of any material--wood, plastic, even canvas--as long as they can withstand normal gusts of wind without swaying noticeably. A sukkah must have a minimum of 2 ½ walls and have a doorway. The sukkah walls may actually be walls from a pre-existing structure. The sages set the minimum length and width of a sukkah at seven handbreadths (approx 28") and the minimum height at 10 handbreadths (approx 40") tall. The maximum height is 20 amot (approx 30').
THE ROOF of the sukkah, known as s'chach, is a critical factor in determining the sukkah's halachic acceptability. S'chach is defined as anything of plant origin that is now detached from the ground but has not undergone any manufacturing process nor had a previous use (such as a wooden post designed to hold up a sapling) nor may it be edible. Additionally, the s'chach pieces should be less than four handbreadths wide.
For the sukkah to be "kosher," there must be enough s'chach so that there is more shadow than sunlight. It should not, however, be so dense that one is unable to see the larger stars at night or that the rain cannot penetrate.
PLACEMENT of the sukkah is important because to meet the s'chach requirements, the area above the sukkah must be clear (no building overhangs or branches from a tree). If there is a small area within the sukkah that is covered by something overhead, one should avoid sitting beneath it.
The holiday of Sukkot begins this Sunday night at sunset.
This Treat is reposted in honor of Sukkot.

Orion Chooses Aryaka Over Riverbed to Deliver 9X Faster FTP, 70%+ Reduction in CIFS/HTTP and 24X Bandwidth Savings
Orion Chooses Aryaka Over Riverbed to Deliver 9X Faster FTP, 70%+ Reduction in CIFS/HTTP and 24X Bandwidth Savings Jan 2013
Global Software Solutions Firm Cinches Project Deadlines with Aryaka's Optimized Intelligent Network
MILPITAS, Calif. – Jan. 29, 2013 — Aryaka® (www.aryaka.com), the leading provider of WAN Optimization as-a-Service™, Network as-a-Service™ and Application Delivery as-a-Service™, today announced that Orion Systems Integrators, Inc., an award-wining global provider of IT services and solutions for leading Fortune 500 companies, has deployed Aryaka's optimized, intelligent network to speed large file transfers, boost application responsiveness and increase bandwidth utilization for improved collaboration across multiple teams and employee productivity. Orion chose Aryaka over Riverbed because of the greater benefits of controlling the "middle mile" rather than placing an appliance at each end over the public Internet at multiple site locations.
Aryaka delivers these benefits to Orion:
9X faster FTP
3X better SSH responsiveness
24X bandwidth savings
Zero CAPEX – no equipment to purchase, monthly subscription
End-to-end WAN and application visibility
"Our developers in Asia were losing valuable production time due to international ingress and egress bandwidth concerns, keeping them at risk of falling behind on project deadlines, potentially causing conflicts with customers," said Rudy Ramcharitar, Executive Vice President of Orion. "Orion had been considering multiple hardware optimization appliances like Riverbed when we came across Aryaka. We found we could maximize output by allowing Aryaka to both monitor and optimize the core network between our locations – 9X faster FTP, CIFS reduced 81%, FTP lowered by 40% and 70% reduction in HTTP."
Over the past two years as Orion rapidly expanded its global customer base, the company's infrastructure faced setbacks for intercontinental data transit. As traffic volume increased, data transfer slowed to a crawl, specifically between Orion's India development teams and its US headquarters. Orion initially looked at WAN optimization as a tactical solution to solve its distance and latency issues. However, Orion quickly realized that the bandwidth and cost savings Aryaka delivered as a service enabled the company to be much more strategic and thus enable greater employee collaboration and productivity. By upgrading from public intercontinental wide area network (WAN) links to Aryaka's private, secure network, Orion is now able to better shape its network for optimal communication – especially during peak traffic periods. As a result, Orion maximizes its existing bandwidth capacity and ensures that international collaboration is seamless for faster time-to-market for its global customers.

You can't blame us and the world for wanting yet another "Toy Story" after "Toy Story 3" became an instant classic.
So there's plenty of excitement over the news that Tim Allen, who voices the macho space stud, is signed on to reprise Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story 4," according to TheWrap.com.
This does not mean that Pixar and Disney are ready to push the button for a new sequel, but it does mean that the companies are at least open and prepared for the idea. Tom Hanks, who voices Woody, bullishly said "bring it on" when asked about a new movie. Let's do it people!
A Disney spokesperson told the website: "At this time, we have nothing to announce regarding another full-length feature."
While it's hard to ignore the monster box office -- $560 million and counting worldwide -- there are other factors. Director Lee Unkrich expressed a feeling of wanting to close the chapter to PopcornBiz at the film's press day. "I wanted to end this," he said. "In my mind this film is the conclusion of Woody and Buzz and the rest of the toys with their relationship with Andy. I feel like we've ended it nicely."
But he admitted he has never been for any sequel of the gold-standard franchise until he'd seen a quality script with a solid story. And each time Pixar has managed to find something fresh and fantastic. So even he slightly changed his tune later in the discussion.
"Whether there's another 'Toy Story,'" he added. "I have no idea."

You can't blame us and the world for wanting yet another "Toy Story" after "Toy Story 3" became an instant classic.
