Motorsports Insider: NASCAR's new car makes solid first impression
David wins Hydro Title
Steve David, who was re-installed as the winner of September's race on Mission Bay two months after being disqualified for a rules infraction, has won his sixth Unlimited Hydroplane driver's championship.
David won four heat races then finished second to rookie Jimmy Shane in last weekend's season finale in Qatar. David won three races in 2012 en route to his sixth title since 2005 with the Oh Boy Oberto team.
Meanwhile, Dave Villwock's chances of over-taking David in the points race was lost when he was disqualified in the first heat race in Qatar then sidelined by a fire in the second heat.
The Force expands
Brittany Force, 26, is becoming the third daughter of drag racing icon John Force to compete in the National Hot Rod Association.
But Brittany will be the first Force to race in the Top Fuel division. John and daughter Courtney will continue to race in the Funny Car division. In other Force news, Mike Neff is retiring as a driver to return to being John Force's crew chief.
Local Laps:
--The annual Monster Truck show is Saturday night at Qualcomm Stadium.
--Tyler Palmer continued his domination of NASA's Porsche 944 Spec class last weekend at Chuckwalla Raceway in Indio. He claimed the pole both days, won both races and broke the track record.

Check out this new video series, Talking About Vaccines With Dr. Paull Offit, during which Dr. Offit answers many common questions about vaccines.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Vaccine Education Center provides complete, up-to-date and reliable information about vaccines to parents and healthcare professionals.
The Vaccine Education Center is a member of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Vaccine Safety Net because our website meets the criteria for credibility and content as defined by the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety. Learn more about the WHO's Vaccine Safety Net»
Vaccines have literally transformed the landscape of medicine over the course of the 20th century. Before vaccines, parents in the United States could expect that every year:
However, the disappearance of many childhood diseases has led some parents to question whether vaccines are still necessary. Further, a growing number of parents are concerned that vaccines may actually cause other diseases. Although unfounded, these concerns have caused some parents to delay vaccines or withhold them altogether from their children.
The Center has also established the Parents PACK program to develop a dialogue with parents, provide frequent vaccine information, and establish a place for parents to get up-to-date information and answers to questions about vaccines.
The Center offers the Vaccine Update program for healthcare professionals. The program was designed to make it easier for healthcare providers to stay up-to-date on vaccine news, research and developments. The program includes free webinars, monthly e-newsletters and mailings containing sample materials and announcements when new or revised information is available.
*Members of the public interested in materials offered through the Vaccine Update program can view the materials directly through the Vaccine Update website.

- Amazing Must Have Item! Review by AshleyMUA
Quality Price Value
I never wear lip liners I find it a waste of money to buy all different colours to match lipsticks so I never bothered with them..Until I found this little gem, it's clear so can be used with any shade which is the most amazing product I have in my kit. Finally a product to use without spending lots of money buying different shades to lipstick to have one for all which is important with darker colours so they don't bleed out and look messy same goes for lipgloss. This amazing find stops darker pigments bleeding from your lip line so your lips look perfect and if you fill in your entire lip with this lip liner then apply your lipstick it lasts so much longer. This is a makeup must have, you have not lived until you have this and I'm totally addicted to lip liner now thanks to this find! I LOVE IT!

I love this pencil. I never thought I could wear lipgloss again without it dripping down my chin. I line around my lips with this pencil first and it keeps the feathering at bay.

Landmark reached in Workington bridge project
Last updated at 06:36, Friday, 04 May 2012
A symbolic moment was reached in Workington yesterday.
The central beams of the new Northside Bridge were lifted into place, reconnecting two sides of the River Derwent.
The town had waited for the moment to come for more than two years, after the original bridge was swept away in the 2009 floods.
Yesterday morning a huge crane, capable of lifting more than three Statues of Liberty, lowered the first 88-tonne section of steel into place.
The second of three sections was due to go in yesterday afternoon with the final piece of the jigsaw due to be lifted into position today, depending on the weather.
The three new beams will form the main support to carry the road across the river and complete the steel framework of the bridge.
It will now be clad with a mixture of new sandstone and sandstone recovered from the original bridge.
The bridge has been designed by Capita Symonds, which is managing the project on behalf of the county council.
Phil Dilworth, site manager for Birse Civils, the county council's main contractor, said: "It is a prestigious scheme for us and everyone is on a high with the beams going in.
"It is a key moment and now it looks like a bridge."
The installation has been dependent on the weather, with recent strong winds, and a delay in getting the crane to the site, meaning that the crossing will not now be open to traffic until September, a month later than previously expected.
Norman Clarkson, county council chairman, said: "It is a wonderful bridge and a marvellous piece of engineering. It starts a new chapter in this area.
"It will be wonderful for the people of Workington when it is complete so they can come back to a normal life.
"Of course it is still touched with sadness, not only from the loss of the bridge but the loss of PC Bill Barker, who is still in our thoughts, along with his family and the ordeal they have had to go through."
A plaque in memory of PC Barker will be erected as part of the new bridge. He was swept to his death while trying to divert traffic away from the crumbling structure during the floods.
The town's temporary road bridge upstream will be dismantled once the new bridge is open.

Have your say
Get on with it! We've waited long enough.
What a pair of whingers Yeoman and Delboy are. Well done Delboy for building those bridges. How many of your comrades died doing it? Would you be happy if workers died putting in the beams on the new bridge. No. You would be one of the first to complain. Times change mate and so does safety. I can't believe you can compare the two! Delboy. Lets just be happy about something for once without twisting round and whinging about who, what was to blame on that horrible night. Why not blame the weather forecasters. They got it wrong if I remember?

Traveling requires more documents than ever today, which is why we introduced our Travel Document Holder. With room for tickets, cards, receipts, and more, it'll be the only thing you'll need to take with you on your trips! Handcrafted from quality leather with turned edges, this Travel Document Holder has tons of storage space - 8 credit card slots, an ID window with thumb-slide, 3 receipt pockets, plus room for boarding passes, tickets, baggage claim stubs, and more. We also include an extra zippered pocket on the inside, giving you even more space for things like currency or directions. Our Travel Document Holder makes traveling much easier - just load up your essentials and be on your worry-free way!
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
Very happy with this product - affordable and nice look
I purchased this as a gift for a college graduation, for a gal who would be travelling to Europe post-grad. I enclosed a few Euros with it, personalized it, and it made a very classy and much appreciated gift! I especially like the exterior boarding pass holder!
I order this as a replacement for my old worn out travel holder...this was more than I expected. Perfect, plush and polished. In fact, I ordered two more for gifts.
My husband and I have 5 trips coming up ranging from 100 miles away to out of the country. I was looking for a wallet that I could put EVERYTHING in...credit cards, ID's, passports, hotel and air reservations, etc. This is absolutely PERFECT. I love it. Thank you so much.
Extremely happy with my purchase.
That is the word to use. This is a gift for my husband who has worn his old one out. I was worried about quality given the cost, but it is superior to anything I have seen.
When my travel Document Holder, a gift for my husband, arrived I was very pleased with the quality. The leather is beautiful and the craftsmanship is excellent. As a bonus, the packaging is really elegant and beautiful also. Very nice! I highly recommend this product.
Very quality and reasonably priced. Super soft top quality leather and the initial embossing looks great as well. I will certainly be buying another passport travel document holder for my wife very soon.
I gave this as a graduation gift to a friends daughter who loves to travel (personalized with initials). She loved it! Great quality leather and craftsmanship. Would be nice to have a snap closer or sorts to keep it closed and documents secure.
I received the product; however I paid for a monogram and the product was not monogram. So i had to send it back for the monogram. The person I spoke to was very nice and proceeded to email me a paid for mailing label for return to get the monogram.
Well made holder for when I travel. Has the right amount of pockets to hold my passport and boarding pass as well as other cards if needed. I love the color I selected.
product was great & as described & service was excellent
Bought it for my frequent flyer wife. She loved it! So much so she uses it for an everyday wallet rather than her travel wallet.
I have been looking for a passport/document holder for a very long time and was thrilled to find this travel/document holder amongst your products. It's perfect for not only my passport, but airline tickets, boarding passes, foreign currency & even my cell phone. The quality of the leather is exquisite, and I love my embossed initials. Great product.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!! Great quality, I'll buy again.
Item was shipped to a different address and I have not traveled there yet to see it
A gorgeous passport holder, Great price!! So good I was not sure what to expect as far as a"leather" passport cover went? As it turns out it is of high quality and would not hesitate to reccommend this product to serve as a great passport holder!!
Arrived as promised, gorgeous hand, soft and warm color. Lovely presentation also.
Fabulous product...beautiful leather. A pleasure to give as a gift.
Beautiful leather and monogramming
Given as a gift since I have one myself. Unofrtunately, the gift card was not included as requested.
This item is beautiful! It comes exceptionally well packaged, perfect as a gift. The leather feels wonderful & the size works perfect for the purse I use for traveling. There are several places to store airline tickets & other travel docs. The red coordinates well with a red glasses case from Leatherology.
Very nice, holds everything.
Its perfect. Just the right size and has all the pockets necessary for credits cards, i.d. and travel documents all in one place.
The leather is beautiful. The individual comparments will make handling all the paperwork when flying a lot handier.
Exactly like the picture, very nice presentation when I received it. First trip planned for next month, looking forward to being organized and having everything in one place when I am in a foreign airport.
Bought this as a gift for my niece who is getting ready to recieve her graduate degree and head abroad. It is absolutely beautifu! The monogram gives it the personal touch that makes it even more special. So glad I found Letherology! I will definitely purchase additional items.
Exactly what I wanted, even better than described, thank you
Great, my husband had his previous travel wallet stollen when they stole his backpack. We looked all over for a close to exact replacement. When it came for his birthday, he was so pleased. And the monogram, he loved it. His last one wasn't. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!
I received as a gift and am really enjoying. I like that there is a place for your airline ticket.
I travel a lot on business and anything that can make my job easier I will be welcome to. My wife got me this travel wallet and it has been really great. I can keep my plane ticket, my passport, credit cards, cash, ID, everything I need from check-in to boarding, to going away and coming home. The leather is really great quality and looks professional. Overall I'm very happy with this product.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

Tattoo Print Pantyhose
Also found in:
♠ Tights ♠ Lightweight ♠ Leg Avenue ♠ Vices ♠ Artistic
If you're not quite adventurous enough to go for extensive tattoos on your legs, you can get the look with these beautiful sheer, printed tights.
Label says one size fits most, 90-160 lbs.
As these are printed, the patterns don't always match up on the sides. It's not normally super noticeable, but as it can mess with the illusion we'll be adding an extra image to show it.
Additional Info: Made in Taiwan.
The pattern only goes to the upper thighs and may appear less vibrant in person depending on lighting and how much the design stretches when worn. Waistband is woven and there is a single seam from front to back and along the toes.
Fiber Content: 100% nylon
Hand wash warm, drip dry.
Label: Leg Avenue
I can't believe I never realized how awesome of an accessory socks could be. I've found myself looking for ways to incorporate socks into almost every outfit I wear now. Thanks for helping me bring a fun new twist to my wardrobe! =)

"Roots. That's a good word for it. Everybody's got a family tree and just to know how the roots grew, well that gives you a sense of who you are." spoken by Martha Corinne Walton, The Waltons, Episode 10, 1976

Great episode. It just aired again oReplyDelete
today, 3/7/11. I've seen this episode before and it may be the best written one of all. I took a great liking to Martha and like the first time I saw it, it brought tears to my eyes. I just couldn't understand why the family thought she was interfering at first...I would've enjoyed her company. What a remarkable and memorable woman.

Wonderful episode. "The Pony Cart" one of my favorite "Walton" episodes. INSP Channel is airing "The Waltons" weeknights at 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. I have been tracing my "roots" since I was about 14 and some of that involves visiting cemeteries. Another Martha Corinne quote that is very powerful to me is "Neglected graves are a shameful thing." She has been one of my favorite TV characters for a long time. I told my children about the show and specifically, her character and just recently my daughter, Maria Corinne, had the opportunity to watch "The Pony Cart". Her name is no coincidence. Blessings!

Anyone had this experience with NXT-G?
At this weekend's competition, we experienced having a robot ignore the simplest of programs---rotate motor C 100 degrees. Instead, motors B and C both rotated forward 100 degrees, randomly. We coaches assumed the student had picked the wrong program; but after repeated demonstrations on the practice mat (between rounds) we were convinced that the error was not hers. (sometimes it worked correctly, other times it didn't.
Some NXT "experts" have never experienced these problems, but I'm hearing from others that some teachers have been reporting these errors. I'd appreciate hearing if you have experienced similar problems, so I can get some productive assistance (if it exists).
We are using new Dell laptops (Vista), purchased and managed by a computer professional from our sponsoring company. The software was a group license of NXT-G, purchased from LEGO Education in September 2008. (We own multiple copies, but used one on all of the computers.) Also, there were two teams using the same equipment. The other team did not have the same problem, but, of course, wrote different programs. (They used three My Blocks, while my team used seven My Blocks.)
14 comments:
- Dave Parker said...
If two teams were using the same computer (and sharing the default profile?), it is possible that one of the programs or MyBlocks shared the same name as one of the other team's? If so, they will overwrite each other...
A couple of other classic mistakes are forgetting to re-download after a change, or running the wrong program (e.g. you Save As to "MyProg2" after your improvements but still test run with "MyProg" on the NXT, which now has both on it).
These kinds of errors will cause what you are looking at on the screen to not match what is running on the NXT, which is quite confusing. You can test these theories by carefully re-saving, re-downloading, and re-testing, paying attention to the names used.

I'm not sure if this is the kind of problem you experienced, but I had problems with My Blocks with my FLL team's robot in the Nano Quest season. Since we wanted to have multiple programs, we planned to have one big program that would contain all the sub-programs as My Blocks and would allow the user to select and run them quickly and efficiently. However, the first time I tried to do this, I ran into problems with unpredictable behavior similar to what you described. When I used two or three My Blocks, each containing several Move Blocks, the robot would not execute them consistently. It would move more or less than it was supposed to, and I think it even performed the wrong kinds of moves sometimes. When I used the exact same commands, except without the My Blocks, the program worked fine.
- Dec 9, 2008, 3:27:00 AM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
Addendum: Even though in the above-mentioned situation I concluded that the software had a bug, I try to do this only as a last resort. The vast majority of problems that at first seem to be problems with hardware/software turn out to be problems with my design or program. Therefore, I've found that it's a good habit to always assume that the product is working fine and that I have the problem, unless I have very substantial evidence to the contrary.
- Dec 9, 2008, 3:35:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
Jonathon: were there ever any cases where two My Blocks might run at the same time, or two place sin the code would try to run Move blocks at overlapping times?
- Dec 9, 2008, 5:02:00 AM
I have had similiar errors; I use the retail version on a widows xp operating system.
The first time an error like this came up the origional myblock worked perfectly; whenevery I used that myblock in another peice of code, the data would not be transfered from the myblock to the proceding code. My solution was to copy the origional myblock from the program with it's surronding code and edit it for the rest of the program.
The next time an error occured it was much more serious. The idea was to combine the string of 2 text blocks into two (the result would be 6 strings of text combined into one) the myblock would have 6 inputs for each peice of text, an output of each pece of text to facilitae later wiring, and the string of combined text. When I created the myblock it was fine, but when I tried to make a new one problems occured: Mindstorms NXT said that it needed to end the program and it asked to send an error report. I tried repeatedly to fix this but the same outcome occured, even if I copied the origional myblock and used it in the program elsewhere, Mindstorms NXT would at least say tthat the program is corrupted.
Do you have any advice for this; it would be tedious to write the code out by hand rather than by the myblock (I need to copy the code up to 36 times just to complete one part of the program)
- Dec 9, 2008, 6:38:00 AM
Older (maybe all) versions of NXT-G have a bug that will crash the develpment environment if you use a MyBlock with a text data plug. This is a widely (but not universally) know problem.
A problem many teams have writing program managers is that they forget to reset the motors and rotation sensors. That is one of the first things I look at if a MyBlock works great as a standalone program, but fails when combined with others.
I ran into another fun bug recently. I opened a MyBlock and did a Save As using a new name. I then edited the new MyBlock. The problem is that occurrances of the old MyBlock now used this new MyBlock even though their names (and now contents) were completely different. I was very suprised when sound blocks added to the new MyBlock were played in programs that didn't even use the block. I now use "Manage Custom Palette" when copying MyBlocks.

They didn't work on the same computer, but each team carried a back-up file for the other team. However, I think their directions were very similar, so the result should have been similar.
Our assumption has always been that the software works correctly. In fact, we coaches assumed she had selected the wrong program, but thought differently once she'd run it on the practice table for us a couple of times.
I can only say that we have been meticulous about re-saving, re-downloading and re-testing. No doubt, we're imperfect, but I'm no novice at using NXT-G.
Jonathan, your experience sounds most similar. It makes me sorry I encouraged them to use My Blocks. (For Brian---There was no overlap of any blocks in our programs---not even a My Block within a My Block.)
I'm wondering if Motor blocks are more dependable. I tend to use them in my own programs, but was urged (by an FLL "expert") to encourage my team to use Move blocks instead.
- Dec 9, 2008, 7:43:00 AM
- Dave Parker said...
I agree with Dean that Jonathan's problem was likely not resetting the rotation sensors between sub-programs in the sequencer program. Not knowing more about Fay's situation, I can't say if her's is related to rotation sensor counts, though.
- Dec 9, 2008, 8:19:00 AM
- Fay Rhodes said...
I'm certain they did not re-set rotation sensors. But I don't see the connection between ignoring a 100 degree turn command to a single motor and re-setting the rotation sensors.
Is there a "best source" of authoritative information about this?
- Dec 9, 2008, 9:07:00 AM
- Robotica said...
why not upload the programs to the form and have the discussion over there?
- Dec 9, 2008, 9:49:00 AM
Though myblocks have cuased any problems for me, I have had troubles with my windows vista laptop. Whether this is due to the many setting that people keep changeing or if its just vista, I don't know. I orriginally used an older laptop (Windows XP), but its graphics were slow and NXT-G was near-impossible to use. Furthermore, Lego Digital Designer does not respond correctly on either laptop for some reason.
I am running the new software for NXT-G, available through the lego shop at home site, and although this should work with vista, the problem continues. Also, this new software allows you to store array variables (of the types logic, number, and text, each with thier own data wires,) but there is no block to dynamically read/write values with these data types.
Anyone know how to fix this?
- Dec 9, 2008, 10:06:00 PM
That sounds like a motor encoder problem. reloading the firmware might just fix this.
- Dec 10, 2008, 12:26:00 AM
This sounds a bit like problem we've experienced with our two FLL botsl. There are times when, inexplicably, the NXT will begin a mission with a hard and fast turn to the left. It's even happened to me when running the table with the kids.
Another problem we've observed are mission programs the appear to decay with random errors as time progresses. At first I attributed it to batteries going flat. But then noticed it will do this with freshly recharged (lego) batteries as well.
I really hope it's something we're doing. It's really maddening!!
We've inserted motor reset blocks at the beginning of each program.
The NXTs are running 1.03 and 1.05 firmware.

O2 Priority Moments high street deals service hits the shelf
O2 has launched itself and its customers right into the ever-popular voucher market with the arrival of O2 Priority Moments.
Born from the already successful gig tickets system, this entirely separate mobile service brings location-based, exclusive offers to O2 users and, so far, involves 30 major UK brand partners with 40 deals from the off which you'll be able to redeem at 3,500 outlets across the country.
O2 Priority Moments comes as a dedicated app for both iOS and Android, but can also be accessed from a standard mobile website by any internet-enabled handset. It just won't be quite as pretty if you have to use the latter way. O2 marketing and consumer director Sally Cowdry said at the London launch event:
"Now, O2 customers can benefit not only from tickets but for deals on the high street too. There's no printing, no paper; just real time deals on everything from cinema tickets to books. On average, we expect our customers to be able to save up to £105 per month."
Naturally, those savings are all relative to what you might be shopping for in the first place but nonetheless the launch deals are certainly tempting. You can get 50 per cent off books at WHSmiths, half price tickets at Odeon cinemas, a third off your bill at Yo Sushi and deals at Harvey Nichols and restaurants like Ask, Pizza Hut and Zizzi as well as travel specials from National Express. Certainly plenty to explore.
Priority Moments is available now and anyone can download the apps on iTunes and the Android market. If you can plug in someone's O2 phone number who doesn't intend to use the service, you might even find yourself quids in despite being a customer on another network.

How to make actively healthy purchases for your family and planet
does green cost more?
While parents should expect to pay more for high quality organic ingredients, in the long run, they shouldn?t have to pay a premium for green manufacturing. The cost of using the best quality, organic ingredients is always higher than fillers and ingredients with toxic byproducts. The cost for a manufacturer to convert to green production practices can be high in the beginning, but those up-front expenses are recouped and eventually the company can see savings over time. For example, using alternative energy, like solar power, in production can save up to $1 million per year on electricity. This cost savings can be reflected in the price a you pay for a product that helps you contribute to the health of the planet.
what does green look like?
Parents with green values should know that not all companies who look green truly are green. Some manufacturers simply ?greenwash? their products: they have some trendy ecoterminology on the label and come with a premium price tag. Maybe these companies have adopted some green manufacturing standards ? but that doesn?t mean these products benefit the environment. Check out the list of ingredients ? if it is loaded with synthetic chemicals and fragrance, it probably isn?t good for you or the planet. So, be vigilant and make your dollars count; support companies that truly advocate for the planet in spirit and action.
what is green value?
Green products leave a smaller footprint on the environment, and green value is obtained by purchasing fairly priced products that not only support the protection of our planet, they support the health of our families, and our babies bodies ? both directly with organic and healthy ingredients, and indirectly by using fewer fossil fuels, less disposable packaging, and more sustainable business practices. The good news is that due to consumer demand for green value, more manufacturers are making a commitment to the Vivid Green Generation ?.
how can you identify green?
Natural materials are the minimum level of commitment you should expect from a company making green claims. The list to the right offers guidance on Vivid Green buying.
vivid green buying:
- Find Recycled, Reusable, and Minimal Packaging! Excessive packaging adds unnecessary cost and is terrible for our planet. Look for products that use recycled, recyclable or certified sustainable (e.g., FSC) packaging, or boxes and plastics that are durable enough to reuse.
- Avoid Fragrances! The word ?fragrance? in personal care products can indicate upwards of 4000 chemicals that are not required to be listed on an ingredient label. Synthetic fragrances are used to make goods such as fabrics and cleaning supplies smell more ?appealing?. These fragrances are usually generated with a mix of chemicals including benzene, ammonia, ethylene glycol, and other petroleum based synthetics that are known toxins and carcinogens.
- Look for High Levels of Organics! Many common ingredients have pesticide/fungicide residues, which can be absorbed by the body. Organic ingredients are naturally more potent antioxidants ? as much as 30% more ? which means the free radicals our bodies are exposed to (and produce) are offset better and faster by choosing organic ingredients.
- Ask About Alternative Energy & Paperless Operations! Companies pushing for and using solar or wind power, and using paperless protocols for invoicing, marketing, and communications are proactively helping to preserve our resources, our health, and the beauty of our planet.
- Avoid Petrochemicals! Mineral oil, petroleum jelly, and paraffin wax are examples of petrochemicals. The production and disposal of these ingredients is damaging to our environment and they may contain toxic byproducts like 1-4 dioxane.
- Soy & Vegetable Based Inks! Inks and dyes made from ?D&C pigments,? have synthetic coloring agents made from coal tar. Most of them are carcinogenic. Products made with D&C pigments contain heavy metal salts, which can be absorbed through skin to cause organ sensitivity and irritation. They are also found in the earth and water after they have been disposed of, where they can remain for decades as a source of toxic pollution.
- Look for Locally Made! Imported products require massive amounts of fossil fuels adding to the cost of goods that are frequently no better than what you can find locally. U.S. policies regarding heavy metals and other toxins are not internationally recognized or enforced.
- Buy Low/No VOC Painted Products! Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted from paint and pressboard as gasses that can harm eyes, nose, throat, liver, kidneys, and cause nausea, headaches, and loss of coordination. Common VOCs include formaldehyde, ammonia, and acetone. High VOC paint is the leading cause of indoor air pollution, which, in most homes, is worse than outdoor air pollution.
- Choose Rubber Not Foam! Foam is made from a petroleum byproduct, which is not sustainable. It retains bacteria that feed on common fire-retardants and it off-gasses skin irritants and toxins that have been associated with nausea, dizziness, and respiratory irritation, and is even linked to SIDS. Rubber is a great natural alternative that is free from PVC, phthalates, chlorides, dioxins, and furans.
- Seek Out Natural Materials! Natural fabric materials like wool, cotton, silk, hemp, bamboo, and linen are better for the body because they are breathable and better for planet due to safer production and disposal. Rayon is a good synthetic choice because its from cellulose, not petrochemicals like polyester, acrylic and nylon.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #22
Captain Zero Audiobook
#1 City of Deadly Sleep
by G.T. Fleming-Roberts
Read by Michael C. Gwynne. Liner Notes by Will Murray
In 1949, Popular Publications, which had been out of the hero business since the cancellation of
The Spider
in 1943, decided to renter the fading field. The Shadow was still going strong on radio, even if his pulp magazine had been folded a few months before.
Veteran mystery pulpster G. T. Fleming-Roberts was tapped to pen the new series under his own name. He had a knack for clever plots, contemporary dialogue, and avoiding the most egregious pulp clichés. In that post-war era, readers expected their heroes to be more realistic, so Fleming-Roberts and his editors went for broke.
Their hero,
Daily World
copywriter Lee Allyn—apparently named in a nod to serial Superman Kirk Alyn—was a meek horn-rimmed fellow who possessed few heroic qualities. But between midnight and dawn, thanks to a scientific experiment that went awry, he turned invisible—except for his floating disembodied eyes.
It was as if Clark Kent had learned to become as invisible as Lamont Cranston, but remained a mild-mannered newspaperman.
Captain Zero fought crime in small-town settings, aided by fellow journalist, Doro Kelly. He had a lot in common with the early Spider-Man. Luck—both good and bad—dogged his nocturnal forays. He was often outnumbered, not to mention outfought and outwitted. For Lee Allyn, fighting crime was no lark. Especially when you didn't even have a car—never mind a super-car.
In his first bumbling case,
City of Deadly Sleep
, Captain Zero gets the tar repeatedly beaten out of him by rival gangs before pulling out a victory by the skin of his invisible teeth.
Unfortunately, despite a trio of well-crafted stories, the time had passed for heroes like Captain Zero. He expired after only three stories. But they are refreshingly different, and RadioArchives.com is proud to bring them to crackling life in a series of audiobooks narrated by the unseen
Michael C. Gwynne.
Also included are a fascinating fact story featuring Sherlock Holmes' creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, called "Elementary, my Dear Corpse!" along with Russell Bender's tense crime tale, "Killer for Sale!"
Read by Michael C. Gwynne with short stories by Roy Worley and Roger Price.

The 9-inch Ford rear axle is used in everything from street rods to drag racing to road racing to the Winston Cup. They've also been used in everything from the lowliest (slow) streetcars all the way up to Top Fuel dragsters. And they're used in Chevys with regularity. Unfortunately, in stock form, the Ford 9-inch housing isn't as strong as its reputation. Almost 15 years ago, pro drag racers were plagued with rear axlehousings that bent. Sure, the race teams and chassis builders fortified the housings with countless braces, supports and brackets, but the often-massive torque loads still managed to turn even the stoutest pieces into metal macaroni. In some instances, the axlehousings would bend and remain bent. In other more mysterious cases, the housings would bend during the initial launch and then snap back into form as the lap down the quarter-mile was completed-acting much like a huge, transverse spring (and this isn't exclusive to drag racing-we know of a very well-heeled and famous road race team that experienced the same dilemma).
We spoke to Chris Alston about the pitfalls of the Ford, and he elaborated on the inherent problems found in the 9-inch Ford housing: "The Ford 9-inch is a very popular housing, but you have to remember that the 9-inch hasn't been built for over a decade. That means the newest junkyard part you'll come across is at least 10 years old. Aside from age, there are three major drawbacks to the 9-inch: First, the housing axletubes are not round. Not only do they taper from 3 1/2 inches down to 3 inches, the tubes all have "flats" which are more or less squashed onto the tubes. Both of these factors force a chassis builder to custom-build every bracket because they aren't symmetrical. Finally, the OEM Ford housing face is approximately 24 inches wide. Because of this, you have to weld brackets to the face in some cars. This means you lose adjustment holes for items such as the four-link."
Another problem that's seldom discussed with Ford 9-inch housings is the rear brace. The almost-standard brace does nothing to stop downward bending on the rather flimsy Ford housing. A second brace is usually needed to eliminate downward flex. Another point to consider is the actual rear "cover" in the housing. The backplate isn't one piece; it's usually pressed into the housing. The chassis builder is forced to weld the rear cover to the housing, but that doesn't stop another problem: the hypoid action of the third member still tries to force the rear end out the back of the housing, which exerts forces on the assembly. In order to stop this, at least one of the chassis builders we spoke with, Mike Pustelny (of MPR in Detroit, Michigan) has reverted to welding a series of small tubes radially between the face of the housing and the rear cover plate. Most often called a "cage," this apparatus stops the center portion of the housing from flexing fore and aft.
With all of the cutting and pasting, the fabricator usually begins with only the skeletal remains of the stock Ford housing, and then starts from scratch. It's not hard to see that this isn't a very cost- or time-efficient way to build a rear axlehousing. There must something better. And there is. Instead of using marginal factory components, some housings are now built entirely from scratch. One of the first to fabricate an all-new housing was George Cathey of Pro Designs. Cathey's new, completely fabricated sheetmetal housings didn't rely upon marginal junkyard parts for the foundation. They didn't bend; they were brutally strong and very resistant to extreme torque loads. Just as important, they were lighter than the heavily braced Ford 9-inch housings that were standard equipment under the quickest cars. Racers being racers, the advantages became immediately clear. Soon the housings were seen under Pro Stock cars. With the decidedly different shape of the housing, the drag race media quickly came up with the term "Star Wars housings." While Cathey has moved on to other projects and doesn't build housings on a regular basis, his original housings have forged a path for several new, completely fabricated housing designs.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London

By Daniel Farey-Jones, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 09:41AM
Monterosa produced the third most-awarded digital campaign of 2011, according to the Gunn Report. The activity, called 'Mini Getaway', gave iPhone users in Stockholm the chance to win a Mini Countryman by hunting for a virtual car.
Publicis Groupe today announced it has acquired the agency, which will report to BBH. The sum it paid has not been disclosed.
Carl Norberg, the Monterosa partner who leads the agency's Singapore office, said: "BBH was top of our list." Norberg will report to Gywn Jones, BBH Group's chief executive officer.
According to Norberg there was serious interest from "three or four" potential groups, including venture capital and other advertising organisations, but BBH's creative credentials made Publicis the most attractive suitor.
BBH Singapore has worked with Monterosa on the pan-Asian 'Dare' app for Unilever deodorant brand Axe (known as Lynx in the UK).
Norberg said London would be the next office for the agency, which started life in Stockholm in 2009 before opening in Singapore then New York.
The agency is not linked to Monterosa Productions, a UK company which is focused on mobile as a "second screen" to TV and has worked with MediaCom, Zeebox, New Look and several TV broadcasters.
Gwyn Jones, who was unavailable to comment today on the London office plans, said in a statement: "The ubiquity and intimacy of smartphones make mobile campaigns an entirely new way to communicate with consumers.
"It's vital that we help our clients develop campaigns that are not just technically seamless, but also friendly and relevant. We've been working with Monterosa for 18 months now. They have a great team, and a culture and approach that fit well with ours."
Monterosa's other three founding partners are Johan Hemminger, the chief executive of the Stockhom office, Johan Stahle and Anton Holmquist.Follow @DanFareyJones

Outer Cape Cod in Spring

MORE PHOTOS: Cape Cod Photos by Alison Shaw
It's a light that glows from within, like driving into an Edward Hopper painting. Bright, buttery, demanding, it glances off the water and sinks into the sand and sea-weathered shingles. Paint me, notice me, it whispers–I'm spring for your eyes and soul.
We're here at the gateway to the Outer Cape, a spit of land that coils around on itself like a nautilus shell, pressed between the Atlantic and Cape Cod Bay. Glorious in any season, it's perilously fresh in spring–clean, golden, uncrowded. Crisp breezes, a jumble of cottages and seagulls, whales and waking businesses.
No stranger to multiple personalities (sleepy Truro, artsy Wellfleet, hyper Provincetown), this part of the Cape reveals a whole other persona in early spring. In the gap between low season and high, it feels more hometown, less charged, but with an underlying sense of anticipation–like broken-in khakis and a slouchy sweater you can't wait to pull on.
Frankly, we can't wait. Right now it feels as though we're driving toward summer, having left winter only a few stops ago. We survived a shattering ice storm, lifted the last shovelful of snow, burned the final log, and now we're teetering on the brink of spring fever. At land's end, where the dunes embrace the sea, the light is changing. One little nudge will push us over.
Mid-April, and an exceptionally warm weekend is predicted. We drive south, then east on Route 6, stopping at Orleans for the night. This bustling hub straddles the edges of the Outer Cape and offers our first glimpse of Cape Cod National Seashore, unfurling between here and Provincetown.
Our B&B, the Ship's Knees Inn, is a pretty, dark-silver, shingled home from the 1820s, only a five-minute walk from the town's Nauset Beach: nine miles of silky white sand and rowdy waves, and at this time of year almost deserted except for surfers, bobbing like seals.
Tonight we're dining at ABBA. No relation to Swedish pop singers (the name means "father" in Aramaic), this beguilingly simple restaurant is the work of chef/owner Erez Pinhas, and his wife, Christina Bratberg. The menu is a warm, spicy blend of Thai and Mediterranean: wine from the Golan Heights; delicate grilled tuna; pan-seared striped bass with ginger-scallion sauce.

Owning an exotic two-seat, ultra-performance car can be a series of trade-offs, especially when it comes to styling and exclusivity over practicality and reliability. That is, except for this one. That's because there's a C6 Corvette at the heart of Karvajal Designs' ZX-1.
You might ask why anyone would want to restyle the sixth generation of America's Only True Sports Car. Karl Hormann, president of Karvajal Designs and Hi-Tech Custom Concepts, says it comes down to what the Midyears and Sharks have. "We took some cues from the '60s-style Corvettes, because the Sting Rays had such sex appeal back then, and from the '70s Corvettes with their curved wheel arches," Karl says of the second- and third-generation Vettes that were backed by the passion that men like Bill Mitchell, Ed Cole, Larry Shinoda, and Zora Arkus-Duntov had for it.
Nowadays, Karl sees The General aiming for just one segment of the market with the C6. "I see that GM designs these cars based on ergonomics and a target market of 55-year-olds-how can the old guys get in the car better, and can they see over the windshield as good," he says. "They're trying to cater too much to that demographic, but, of course, they want to sell the most cars possible." Per Karl, that was a big reason why they went to the drawing board and came up with a C6-based two-seater that, in his words, "gives you real sex appeal again, with the passion that they put in the car in the '60s and '70s."
And, much like the team of stylists, designers, and engineers that brought the Corvette forward in time with the C2 and C3 did, the ZX-1 was created in the "old school" manner. "We designed the car from scratch," Karl says. "We penciled all the designs, we clay-modeled it on the Corvette to make sure everything worked right, the same way GM does today. From there, we went to refining it, and then we went to molds. If we didn't like something, we could tweak or change it right away."
There's more to the ZX-1 you see here than those eye-grabbing body panels covered with Concours-quality paint-much more. The engine bay and chassis get their fair share of attention, with custom billet HRE wheels and Nitto tires at each corner, plus carbon fiber injector covers on the LS-series engine and custom exhaust tips out back, expertly styled to go with the high-zoot bodywork. Inside, luxury items abound. "With the standard package, we give everybody an upgrade to the racing steering wheel, the leather shifter and emergency-brake boots, and floor mats," Karl says. "Then, if you want to get the full-exotic interior, you get one made to the same standard as Ferrari and Maserari. The same coachbuilder that does remodeling work on those cars does that interior for us, also. So we use the same Alcantara suede and Ferrari leather, so you have that same feel when you sit in the car. You feel like you're sitting in a $300,000 exotic."
Are there other options? Yes-plenty of them, inside and out. The ZX-1 you see here is graced by a set of Sparco race bucket seats (Corbeau and Recaro seats are also available) wrapped in Alcantra suede and Ferrari leather, as is the rest of the cabin. Under the hood, there's a Magnuson supercharger whose eight pounds of boost bumps the LS2 engine (in this '07-derived ZX-1) up well over 600 horsepower, with a special long-tube header/X-pipe exhaust system available for even more power. At each corner is a Pfadt adjustable coilover with Pfadt sway bars at each end, and there are huge Baer discs all around (with Brembos optional).

ACKERMAN – The East Webster basketball teams got a jump on the holiday tournament slate Thursday.
On Thursday, the East Webster squads traveled to the Ackerman Tournament. In their first game of the tournament, the Lady Wolverines tipped off against the Lady Warriors of Nanih Waiya, and East Webster won a 49-27 decision.
"These are the types of games that give us the opportunity to play everybody," East Webster coach Mandy Jewell said. "We played one offense and one defense and were able to get reps for everyone on the bench."
From the moment the ball was tipped, the Lady Wolverines took the lead and never looked back. In first period scoring alone, East Webster more than doubled the Warriors points to take a 14-6 lead.
The second period was a little more back and forth than its predecessor with the Lady Wolverines only outscoring their opponent by one to make it a 21-12 ballgame heading into the half.
Coming out of the locker rooms, East Webster returned to its first period form and dominated the game offensively. After outscoring Nanih Waiya 16-7, the Lady Wolverines took a 37-19 lead into the final period of play.
The Lady Warriors enjoyed their highest scoring period with eight points as the clock wound down, but it was not enough as East Webster never let off the gas by adding another 12 to their total to claim a 49-27 victory.
Quantesha Patterson led the Lady Wolverines with 24 points, as the junior continued her perfect streak of posting a double-double every game. Senior Katesa Dear was perfect from the line going 4-for-4 and closing her as the second leading scorer with eight.
East Webster will have very little time to celebrate their victory as it loads back on the bus today to face Ackerman.
"We are doing exactly what we wanted to do this season," Jewell said. "We set a goal to be 26-0 heading into playoffs and so far we are meeting our goal. We have a big game (tonight) against our rival Ackerman so we have to put this behind us and be ready to play."
Boys Game
Caledonia 59,
East Webster 50
ACKERMAN – The Wolverines also participated in the Ackerman Tournament where they fell to the Confederates.
"We jumped out early and played pretty well," East Webster coach Corey Stidham said. "We were a little late on defense and they shot free throws well all night long. There were some little plays in the fourth period that we have to make to win ball games. Those were the keys to the game."
East Webster jumped out to an early lead in the first period of play out-scoring Caledonia 13-8, but that would be the only lead the team would enjoy.
During the second period of action, the Confederates took over on offense adding 17 to their total while the Wolverines posted nine. Heading into the locker rooms, Caledonia clung to a three-point lead of 25-22.
The second half continued the back and forth offense between the teams with East Webster securing 14 points during the third compared to the 16 scored by the Confederates. At the end of three, the score stood 41-36.
In the final period of play, things did not change much as once again Caledonia out-scored East Webster to take the victory.
Samuel Butler led East Webster in the scoring column with 17, followed by Malik Jones who contributed 12.
East Webster's loss set up a 5:30 p.m. match-up today with the loser of the Nanih Waiya/Winona contest.
