Critical Evaluation
Ernest Hemingway once referred to A Farewell to Arms as his version of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (pr. c. 1595-1596, pb. 1597). Several parallels exist. Both works are about star-crossed lovers; both show erotic flirtations that rapidly develop into serious, intense love affairs; and both describe the romances against a backdrop of social and political turmoil. Whether A Farewell to Arms finally qualifies as tragic is a matter of personal opinion, but it certainly represents, for Hemingway, an attempt to broaden his concerns from the aimless tragicomic problems of the expatriates in The Sun Also Rises (1926) to the fundamental question of life's meaning in the face of human mortality.
Frederic Henry begins the affair as a routine wartime seduction, "a game, like bridge, in which you said things instead of playing cards." He feels mildly guilty, especially after learning about Catherine's vulnerability because of the loss of her lover in combat, but he still foresees no complications from the temporary arrangement. It is not until he is wounded and sent to her hospital in Milan that their affair deepens into love—and from that point on, they struggle to free themselves in order to realize it. However, they are constantly thwarted, first by the impersonal bureaucracy of the military effort, then by the physical separation imposed by the war itself, and, finally, by the biological "accident" that kills Catherine at the point where their "separate peace" at last seems possible.
As Henry's love for Catherine grows, his disillusionment with the war also increases. From the beginning of the book, Henry views the military efforts with ironic detachment, but there is no suggestion that, prior to his meeting with her, he has had any deep reservations about his involvement. Hemingway's attitude toward war was always an ambiguous one. He questioned the rationales for fighting them and the slogans offered in their defense. Like Henry, he felt that "abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene." For the individual, however, war could be the necessary test. Facing imminent death in combat, one either demonstrated "grace under pressure" and did the "one right thing" or one did not; one either emerged from the experience as a whole person with self-knowledge and control, or one came out of it lost and broken.
There is little heroism in this war as Henry describes it. The hero's disengagement from the fighting is made most vivid in the extended "retreat from Caporetto," generally considered one of the great sequences in modern fiction....

So, is this just a community filled with teachers?
The risk with pushing gifted "students" like Sano is that you can burn them out. You want to keep them challenged, but you still need to nurture their developmental and social needs. Sano likely does need more of a cultural adjustment than Harper, and that plays a role in his development.
We can't create gaps in his learning
Exactly! i just wish we could have seen him struggle at a higher level last year (and the year before for that matter). He is known as a stud back home (#1 overall pick in the Dominican Winter League draft), so maybe he does figure things out quicker if he gets challenged early as a 18-19-yr-old

I think you need to look at the years of control and his contribution during those years. If he's not going to help the club that much, why start his eligibility?
This is a huge factor for me too. I don't like the Twins being cheap, but if you bring Sano up for a couple years and he is brutal, you waste two years of his service time and two years of his development.
I would feel a lot differently if Sano was 21, played third well and the Twins were a borderline playoff team.
I complete agree he isnt going to fly through the minors like Harper did. But I was hopin to see him move multiple low-levels per year to speed things up a bit. The Twins haven't seemed to let anyone skip AAA lately. Which means Sano could be looking at 3 more years in the minors before he gets a full season in the majors.
[/QUOTE]The Twins haven't seemed to let anyone skip AAA lately. Which means Sano could be looking at 3 more years in the minors before he gets a full season in the majors.[/QUOTE]
Both Benson and Parmelee skipped AAA in Sept of 2011. It was a good call up for both, however both went different directions in 2012.
Most of my points have already been made. 1) He's defensively pretty bad and needs seasoning. 2) He strikes out too much and needs to work on hitting certain pitches. 3) If we start his service clock when both he and the Twins are going to do nothing but suck, we're wasting time that's under team control.
One thing that bugs me is this constantly repeated idea that the Twins don't promote their minor league players fast enough. Usually the evidence is one of two things: a comparison to a non-comparable player (as here), or treating unrepresentative players as typical of the system. Every player is different. I think many people here would be surprised at how alike minor league systems and promotions are.

I agree with 70charger on his last comment.
People often express a degree of suspicion, conspiracy, and intrigue toward the Twins management.
I ask, what management group in their right mind would fail to move players up when they are ready? Or, if the team has a need fir their talents? The careers of decision makers jobs depend upon making correct decisions.
Teams would be cutting their own throats if they made decisions other than when they think players are truly ready. After all, they play in a highly competitive environment where they can ill afford to make decisions based on factors other than performance.

If you promote prospects up to the upper minors, you increase the chance of them stalling out in AA. Sano is doing very well but he also has many things to work on. He's unrefined. He still strikes out a ton and plays raw defense
Consider this - according to BA, Sano was the 6th youngest guy in the Midwest league: http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/...season-league/
Hard to say he's being held back.

I have been arguing this point for two years now. THe Twins approach to their minor league system is too conservative. A few years ago, when the team was at least a contender for the playoffs it was probably the best approach. But now, as a rebuilding team, it isn't.
Aaron Hicks NEEDS to be the starting OF for the Twins next year. No partial season in AAA. Major league. Same with Gibson in the rotation. Sano and Rosario need to be looked at too during the course of the season. I think the Twins need to keep Joe Benson as a backup OF and see if he can do anything. If the management cannot tell if they are keepers and can be developed they are not doing their jobs and need to be fired. This is our reality going forward.
So, why the hell not? After consecutive 95+ loss seasons they have nothing really to lose. To not do this means that they simply cannot or will not develop young players at the major league level. Listen, this worked in 1982. After a couple of rough years, it paid off. Hrbek(21 years old), Gaetti (22 years old), Puckett(23 years old), Viola(22 years old), Bush, Gagne, and Launder were all players "rushed" from the minors.
Puckett played a short season rookie year, a full season of A+, 21 games at AAA and then to the majors. Viola started in AA, pitched 8 games in AAA the next year before he was called up to the majors. Hrbek played a short rookie year, A-, and A+ when he was called up to the majors. Gaetti short rookie, full A, almost a full year in AA and then late season call up. But, they got to the majors really young, worked out their problems at the major league level, LOST lots of games and but in the end, it all turned out alright.

I left off Brunansky too, mainly because he was a minor league product of the Angels system. His career path was a 17 year old Rookie ball player, A+ as an 18 year old, AA as a 19 with a late season 9 game stint in AAA. AAA as a 20 year old with call up to major leagues. Traded to Minnesota as a 21 year old, 25 games in AAA and 127 games as a major leaguer.
Or Tim Tuefel. He was a college 2nd round draft pick and started his short season in AA. At age of 22 full AA season, followed by a split AA/AAA year. As 24 year old he did AAA and was late call up to the Twins.
Think about what their career projections would be following the Twins standard?
This isn't about being cheap, it's about being smart. 95 loss teams are not being wise in promoting their top prospects well before they are ready so that they can burn service time struggling in ML. It's going to be a tough jump as it is, and bringing them on before the skillset is there is a good way to destroy a kid's confidence or burn valuable service time. Even the Yankees understand that concept. If you bring Sano up too soon, you have two possible results: 1) He struggles and never reaches that potential (example: Delmon Young, Carlos Gomez). 2) He gets good right when he gets expensive. The Twins are in a position where the second option isn't always a bad thing, but regardless, it's poor management from a long term organizational standpoint, and it's risky from a player development standpoint.
Likewise, I fail to see how the Twins are being conservative. Sano is very young for his league. He didn't exactly dominate either, which makes me think they put him in the proper zone of proximal development, or whatever you want to call it. His defense is clearly lagging and other than power, his offense wasn't exactly top tier either. I'm not saying he's a bad prospect, but he was challenged quite well based on where his skills are now. Putting him in Fort Myers or New Brittian for 2012 makes that challenge even tougher. People who say push push push seem to forget that the skill level between the minor league levels is much more difficult. Not much is going to be accomplished when you put a guy who needs to hone his contact tools against people who are much better at avoiding contact, and we can find story after story about guys who got pushed too fast and never made it. It isn't about being conservative or liberal with your prospects. It's about being smart. Sano has shown nothing to indicate that the Twins are being too conservative with him.
I absolutely agree that the Twins have been too conservative lately with their top prospects. As I stated in the comments above, i would have loved to see Sano/Rosario skip ELZ altogether and have a shot to play AA by 20/21 yrs old. But its looking like a full season at A+ next summer for both. Also stated earlier was that if top prospects are pushed to AA or AAA they will get a whole lot better faster than if they light up Rookie ball twice, then spend an entire summer at low-A, then another at A+, and so on....But we wont know if Sano/Rosario would have been capable of that advanced schedule, because they were coddled as teenagers, in my opinion.
I agree he is not yet ready for big-time production at AA or AAA or MLB. But I would have liked to see him struggle at an advanced level rather than spend his first 3 years kicking the crap out of leagues where he is probably the best overall player (in the league). Who knows, he may have hit .238 in A+ last year with 21 HR's and 80 RBI....I would push those offensive numbers up to AA in 2013 regardless of strikeouts and inconsistent defense (which is said to be improving fast (could it have improved faster if he were pushed to higher levels earlier?)). We just will never know with Sano, since he wasn't given the opportunity to struggle (yet).
I completely agree that Sano is not ready for MLB playing time now or was last year in 2012. Not even close. But I would have loved to see him get a shot at moving from Beloit to Ft. Myers to end last season, at the very minimum. His batting average was not dominant, but his total offensive production was. He won the HR & RBI crowns with ease, even though he was 19 playing in a 22-yr-olds league. And like I mentioned earlier, who's to say that Sano could not have handled Beloit in 2011 rather than a second year of short-season Rookie ball. Its all conjecture, but we could have had a more polished/valuable product sooner if he were challenged even more than he already has been.

Just a little perspective...
For those of us pushing for moving prospects into the major leagues faster, I will point out that the 1982 Twins lost 102 games. Plus, when they are losing with these guys, I already can hear the complaining about the "cheap Pohlads" for playing minimum-salary player who should be in the minor leagues. One other thought: While the '82 team was the foundation of tehe '87 world champions, let's not glamorize the 1987 Twins, or lose sight of the fact that they were a severely flawed team with only 2 effective starting pitchers. They caught lightening in a bottle by being in the right division (they won the division with 85 wins), and getting hot at the right time. They took a chance with that core group, and got lucky in '87.
I agree that players who are ready can and should move through the minors quickly. But that is clearly not the case with Sano; 90 errors in the 3 years would make him a 20-year-old DH who struggles to hit breaking pitches.Similarly, someone suggested putting Joe Benson on the 25-man in 2013 "to see what he can do": In 2012 he was demoted early for terrible production, then was injured for most of the remainder of the season. If you recall, he and Parmalee were recalled in 2011, and while Parmalee excelled, Benson looked like a guy snatched out of AA-ball without the tools to play in the major leagues.
Personally, I'll side with Ryan and see if he can pull together a competitive club in 2013 by adding pitching, and give most of these guys at least another year in the minors. Sano is NOT Bryce Harper, and rushing him, Rosaria, Arcia, Benson, et al, onto the major leagues is going to hurt the team in the near term, with no evidence it would help them longer-term.
I have so many things swimming in my head regarding all of the comments; many well thought out arguments. I was actually arguing with a colleague about Sano yesterday.
I don't see the Twins accelerating his promotion for two reasons:
1) I agree that he probably needs to work on pitch recognition/hitting breaking pitches as evidenced from his K levels.
2) Primarily because the Twins are holding out that he can play 3B. He clearly is not ready to play 3B anywhere near the level needed in the majors.
Harper flew through the minors because the decision was made to not keep him at a tougher defensive position. Remember he was originally a catcher. Boras wanted his path to the majors as short as possible.
The Twins, in my opinion, are doing the right thing. Sano is much more valuable at 3B than he is at 1B, RF or especially DH. It's the same reason you keep Mauer at catcher as long as possible. As a 1B, Mauer's comparable is something akin to Mark Grace. As a C he's a future HOF. Keeping Sano at 3B will require extra time in the minors, but I think they need to decide this year if he indeed can stay at 3B.

0 A.D. Alpha 15 Osiris (Windows Version)
Dec 25, 2013 Full Version 4 commentsThe new Alpha release includes Ptolemaic Egyptians, skirmish maps, attack notifications, guard command, new sounds, new technologies, new music, and more...
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. It's a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of twelve ancient civilizations, each depicted at their peak of economic growth and military prowess.
The twelve factions are: Three of the Hellenic States (Athens, Sparta and Macedonia), two of the kingdoms of Alexander the Great's successors (Seleucids and Ptolemaic Egyptians), two Celtic tribes (Britons and Gauls), the Republican Romans, the Achaemenid Persians, the Iberians, the Carthaginians, and the Mauryan Indians. Each civilization is complete with substantially unique artwork, technologies and civilization bonuses.
Developed using Pyrogenesis, a game engine custom-built to suit our needs, 0 A.D. will give players a rich and entertaining real-time gaming experience. 0 A.D. is portable, running not only on Windows, like most games, but also on Linux and Mac OS X.
We believe free, OS software like 0 A.D. encourages sharing, learning and creativity. That's why we have made the code and data available under the GPL license, and released the art, sound and documentation under CC-BY-SA. Modifying the game's data files is as simple as editing JavaScript and XML files, so anyone can learn how the game was developed and share their own contribution to the 0 A.D. world.
0 A.D. is being developed by Wildfire Games, a community of volunteer, hobbyist game developers from all over the world. 0 A.D. has been an open source project since July 2009. We're looking for programmers, 3d artists and more. Get involved.

Enrique's new horses (WIP). Animated transparent manes and moving armor are also in the pipeline (thanks to Wraitii).
Programming & Art
Mythos_Ruler added a new map (Savanna River), rebalanced many units/technologies/... and laid the groundwork for our next civilization: the Seleucid Empire.
Yves has been hard at work upgrading Spidermonkey from 1.8.5 (which is old and unsupported) to a more recent version (v24 or later). He committed one patch that solves the massive performance problems we got with the new SpiderMonkey versions in lategame by changing the way different AI players are separated from each other. The second big patch adapted our code with the old SpiderMonkey version to match the most important constraints required by newer versions without updating yet. The third patch removed the JS Debugger temporarily because it will require a partial rewrite but doesn't have priority for the update. After these changes the WIP patch for the new SpiderMonkey is now much smaller and easier to handle (test, update and review).
Wraitii added a fishing boat for our latest civilization: the Ptolomaic Egyptians. He also implemented some new animals done by Micket: crocodiles, sharks and hawks. He optimized the water code making it faster (speed-up of foam generation code, ...) and more modern. Last but not least, he is overhauling the Aegis bot (AI), squashing AI bugs and improving their capabilities.
Sanderd17 implemented countless functionality fixes; his energy/time went primarily to reworking formations and chasing (i.e. attacking fleeing units, animals).Enrique has been reworking our horses, as they were getting a bit outdated. Your cavalry charges will be even more heroic!
Leper & Historic_Bruno fixed a number of crashes and other bugs. A full list of changes is available in the SVN log (any similarity with 99,9 % of all Google Chrome change logs is pure coincidence...)
Bajter and Kabzerek are working on the summary screen. Their changes should provide more information to the player (after-battle statistics...).
AnnieQ has been working on new unit cards for the Celtic factions.
BoeseRaupe has been working on the hero icon and a way to delete a units group with a right mouse click.
Lordgood: Artiste extraordinaire and My Little Pony-afficionado, has created a new Roman tower and a new wonder & homestead for the Carthaginians. Our "Brony" (Brother + Pony) also started working on the building set for the Seleucids.
Dumbo has been working on improving unit behavior when choosing opponents.Itms added a town bell function. Enemy raid incoming? With one mouse-click your female citizens rush to the nearest building to find shelter.
Scythetwirler & Josh have implemented various multiplayer lobby fixes to the alpha 15/16 server and alpha 16 client. They are hard at work fixing the post-game lobby disconnects and the problems with hosting to improve your multiplayer experience in alpha 16. Apart from the lobby, Josh has also been working towards a more intuitive lobby login UI in the new "modern" style (WIP by Pureon), has done various UI engine cleanup, and re-worked the selection back-end to yield ~2% overall performance increase.
Mimo improved the way trade works. Now the trade management is centralised so there's no need to click every trader.
Stanislas69 has been reworking the Iberian barracks and corral, and the Gallic mill and farmstead.
Music & Sound
Omri_Lahav has been working on new peace tracks for the different civilizations and freshening up the score. A professional tin whistle player will redo the Celts / Gauls, a trombone player will record the low brassy parts on Honor Bound / Elysian Fields, and the Qanun player will be brought in to add another unique color to the Ptolemaic Egyptians. I think it is fair to say Omri is setting new standards for music in freeware software.
LAVS has been working on battle sounds that will make every melee more compelling.
The new Alpha release includes Ptolemaic Egyptians, skirmish maps, attack notifications, guard command, new sounds, new technologies, new music, and more...

dont forget the greece and macedonia!!!
Oh, don't worry, the Hellenes are definitely in the game:
The Romans in part 1 will be the Republican Romans of the Punic Wars era. Strong infantry and siege weapons, but poor cavalry and average everything else (for game balance).

Hi again, i know you guys must be getting sick of me by now bu i have yet another small problem.
When i am populating my pages with text and image the content is running down the page and over my footer, is it possible to keep the content within the area of the gray box and have it scrolling?
im not sure how well i have explained this so here is an example:
Your "content" container CSS calls for a certain height and your content exceeds that attribute

text: First of, HI from Puerto Rico, great forum with tons of help!! Keep it up. I have a beginner question here. I surfed a little in my teens, not much but could at least stan up and express to shore. Now I found this Funboard 7'6", would this be a good board to start over? Probablly small waves etc?

I have heard rumors that you can compile documents online, and more specifically that Google has a free online compiler, but I have never been able to find any. Is there a way to compile documents online, so that I can write and compile documents even if I don't have a TeX distribution installed on my computer?
The Google-related solution is available here: http://docs.latexlab.org/ Note, however, that the online compiler is not affiliated with Google. It simply uses Google UI toolkit and Google Apps hosting platform. (from Dima) |
Online compiler with storage and editor features:
Meanwhile inactive:
Online compiler with basic functionality: Tiny equation compiler:
Document frame generator:
The other way round:
ScribTeX is another good choice. You can also checkout the Common LaTeX Service Interface (CLSI) which is one of the underlying technologies of both ScribTeX and LaTeX Lab. The CLSI provides the underlying infrastructure for exposing a LaTeX compiler to requests from the internet and can be used to build your own custom web-based solution. UpdateScribTeX uses Looks like there may finally be a GitHub-like service for LaTeX documents! |
writeLaTeX - writelatex.comFeatures:

The ConTeXtGarden offers a simple ConTeXt online compiler. It currently uses
Here is a screenshot: |
Verbosus seems to be the most convenient and appealing to me. |
I've used some of the online compilers, and they're fine, but occasionally I want to make use of my own TeX installation on my work computer because it has custom packages and settings installed not available with the online compiler. But what to do if I'm not sitting in front of my work computer? My solution was to set up a SSH server on my work computer, and simply use an SSH client from wherever I am to log in, fire up vim or emacs or other text only text editor to do edits if need be, and/or simply run latex/pdflatex from the commandline through the shell. Apparently, you can do this with an iPad or similar. (I don't have one.) |
Amusingly, many of the online previewers given in other answers are vulnerable to maliciously crafted input. I can only think of one fairly-far fetched way this could be a problem for users, but the people running the preview services should think long and hard about what it is they're doing. |
A recent addition to online compilers by Troy Henderson, presented at TUGboat 33:1, 2012 is the LaTeX previewer: |
Here's another one I found: |
I've blogged about using CLSI (in particular ScribTeX) to compile LaTeX remotely. I wrote a little client in F#, but it's pretty easy to code a CLSI client in any language. I also show conceptually in that article how to integrate this with a source control repository and a build server. |
One more solution, not mentioned above: papeeria.com It's currently in active development. Free plan includes one private project and unlimited public ones. |
Additionally, Verbosus not only allows using LaTeX in the browser. The developers also provide an Android app called VerbTeX and an iPad/iPhone app called iVerbTeX. I guess this is definitely a nice addition to browser-based LaTeX editing. |
Texpad developers here. I should add that remote/cloud typesetting has become increasingly unnecessary as on iOS we have our universal (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) app called Texpad that has the most complete local LaTeX typesetter with advanced fonts, Beamer and tikz. Hope it helps to the OP. |
The following is the only LaTeX online editor that I found both to be 100% free and to support collaborative editing. It was also designed for sharing bibliography, but I have not looked into that feature. All you have to do is register and you are ready to start a document. To share the document with an "unconstrained" number of collaborators, just send them the document's URL. I think it is worth the try. |
Another solution not mentioned here is Authorea which lets you collaboratively write LaTeX (and Markdown), and render it to HTML or PDF (most journal styles supported). Also- it is built on Git for version control. |

MORGANTOWN - At roughly the same time Seth Doege walked into the Texas Tech football program in January of 2008, Dana Holgorsen was walking out.
Well, OK, perhaps walked isn't the right term. For either.
For Doege, it was more of a limp after having not played a single down of football as either a junior or senior at Frenship High School in Lubbock, Texas.
For Holgorsen, it was more of the start of a mad dash, rather than a walk, toward three jobs - four, if you count his aborted tenure as West Virginia's offensive coach/head coach in waiting - in the next four years.
Still, the two remain bound by a common thread, one that had it not existed might make Saturday's game between No. 5 West Virginia and Texas Tech in Lubbock a lot different.
Holgorsen would no doubt be the coach at WVU, but who knows what might have happened to Doege?
"I guess I owe him a lot, him and the other coaches that were there at the time,'' Doege said. "If they hadn't done what they did, my career probably would have turned out a lot different.''
Indeed, in the past year Doege has become one of the most prolific passers in the country. On Saturday, West Virginia will face a fifth-year senior quarterback who as a first-year starter in 2011 put up some almost Geno Smith-like numbers for the Red Raiders, throwing for more than 4,000 yards and 28 touchdowns.
In the pass-centric Big 12, Doege ranked third in the league in passing behind Brandon Weeden and Landry Jones, but ahead of first-round NFL draft picks Robert Griffin III (the Heisman Trophy winner) and Ryan Tannehill. Not bad company.
But that Doege even had a chance to play college football is perhaps a testament to something that seems rare these days - commitment and integrity. By coaches.
As a sophomore at Crane High School in Texas, Doege exploded onto the scene. He passed for 2,439 yards and 27 touchdowns and Crane finished 13-1. Already he was being recruited by Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Florida, along with Mike Leach and Holgorsen at Texas Tech.
But then in the summer of 2006, after his coach and father switched jobs and he enrolled at Frenship, he blew out his knee and missed his entire junior season. A year later, he blew out the other knee and had to sit out his senior year. Pretty much the only thing he was able to do on a football field were the 7-on-7 camps during the summer that preceded each injury.
Yet Texas Tech, which had already offered a scholarship, never wavered. When it was time to sign on the dotted line, they presented him with a dotted line to sign on.
"It was the right thing to do,'' Holgorsen said. "Keep in mind, too, he was in a Lubbock high school for two years and we saw him all the time. There was a friendship that existed.''
Holgorsen never got a chance to coach him, though. It was in January of 2008 when Doege enrolled as an early high school graduate at Texas Tech at the same time Holgorsen was taking the job as the offensive coordinator at Houston.

The SR Max 125 is a nice little city scooter, with bags of weather protection and comfort for longer journeys. Struggles at speeds above 40mph, but at town speeds it's perfectly adequate. Handling is spot on. If you want an all year round scoot with good wether protection the SR Max 125 is a great choice.
49cc, 3bhp, 30mph, Insurance group
Here's a bike to make any 16-year-old's visor steam up: the 500 cc supermoto-styled SM50, made in Taiwan and exclusively branded 'WK' in the UK. WK has been set-up by the same UK company who are behind Quadzilla Quads, who've been in the learner-legal quad market for over 10 years.
125cc, 9bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The Super 8 125 is probably the most polished feeling scooter that Kymco make. It offers the sportiness of the Agility with the comfort of the Like. The ride has a nice feel to it and the finish on the dash, seat and pipes looks the best of the lot. It's well priced too.
125cc, bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Famous Italian motorcycle brand Garelli is back with a new range of scooters and mopeds. The XO is effectively their flagship model and benefits from sharp looks, stable 16" wheels and decent disc brakes. It's a stylish and perfectly adequate town run-around - the only drawback is a slightly lacklustre engine.
125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
124cc, 8.5bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Classy styling, nice attention to detail and a list of handy well thought-out features make the Vivacity 125 look like a charming city commuter package. Overall it strikes a tempting balance between quality and price. The only slight let down is its performance.
124cc, 11bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 3
Produced by Brighton-based Sinnis, but manufactured in China, the Trackstar is a cheap, trendy 125cc alternative to the CG 125 or the Virago. It's very easy to control and manoeuvre, making it an attractive option for learners or novice bikers. It's also got the looks and charm to interest scooter riders, commuters or city-dwellers who are won over by its ...
124cc, 14bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
This is the middle capacity in the GP-1 Derbi range and when you hear the spec of the Derbi GP1 125 Racing scooter it's easier to think of a proper motorcycle rather than a funky-looking twist-and-go scooter. It's got radial brakes, earlier versions had a single rear shock and it even has a twin-spar aluminium chassis too.
125cc, 16bhp, 75mph, Insurance group 7
Moto Hispania is a Spanish company with a reputation for quality at a price, which sums up the RX125R to a Tee. The newcomer is a stylish, sports learner 125 with a Yamaha-alike four-stroke engine. It's competitively priced, with sports biased handling, big bike looks and a reliable engine.
49cc, 2.6bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 2
Yamaha's funky race replica two-stroke scooter is nippy, agile and lots of fun, although the single seat limits pillion options. It's one of the best looking scooters around and can be seen tearing up city streets as well as being paddock transport for Yamaha-sponsored MotoGP/WSB and BSB stars. Upside forks and disc brakes means the little Aerox R can be ...

This is the cutest ornament. Its not just for hanging on your
Christmas tree, you can also hang in your window. Although, I was disappointed in the material that was used. Some kind of thin tin. It is very thin making it bendable /breakable. For this reason it makes it over-priced. I'm glad I got it out of the clearance catalog.

Phoenix police say 14 search warrants were issued and at least 17 arrests made as the result of a 15-month-long investigation into an auto theft ring.
Search warrants were served Wednesday morning at several locations in Phoenix, Tucson and Coolidge as part of "Operation Tin Man," said Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson.
Police said the following people were arrested on charges ranging from participating in a criminal syndicate, trafficking in stolen property, warrants and drug charges.
Police said stolen vehicles were brought to different salvage yards by the car thieves and destroyed so they could be sold as scrap metal. Several of the vehicles were falsely reported as stolen as part of an insurance fraud scheme. Police said metal known to be stolen was bought by the businesses. Several members of the group were also involved in illegal drug sales.
During the investigation, five stolen "manhole" covers were located, four from the city of Avondale and one from the city of Coolidge. Two stolen guns were also seized.
The Phoenix Police Department, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, the Arizona Attorney General's Office and the Pinal County Attorney's Office conducted the investigation, Thompson said.
Assisting in the serving of the search warrants were the Pima County Sheriff's Office, Pinal County Sheriff's Office, Glendale Police Department and Goodyear Police Department, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and Arizona Department of Weights and Measures, Thompson said.

Intel shows off personal cloud for consumers, small business
SAN FRANCISCO--Intel is getting into the personal cloud storage game with the introduction of its own Atom processor-based storage solutions aimed towards both consumers and small businesses.

My favorite way to do corned beef and cabbage is a shortcut, using canned corned beef and my basic fried cabbage recipe. |
Shortcut Corned Beef and Cabbage
I've done my New Year's Day cabbage this way for as long as I can remember. Frankly, it's pretty darned near perfect for my culinary appetite, plus it's easy, it's fast and it's good. Works for me! (and yeah, yeah, I know... the stuff in the can is not "technically" real corned beef, and that's just fine with me!)Great for any day, St. Patrick's Day, or, if it happens to be New Year's Day, don't forget cornbread! If you prefer I have a Corned Beef & Cabbage Hash using Boar's Head deli style shredded corned beef - another shortcut version and it's delicious too!
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Recipe: Southern Style Shortcut Corned Beef and Cabbage
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 40 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1/2 pound of bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, halved and sliced
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 large head of cabbage, core removed and cut into wedges or large chunks
- 1/2 cup of chicken stock, more or less
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 1 can corned beef (not hash!)
- Hot pepper flakes, optional
In a large stockpot, render the bacon until cooked, but not crisp. Add in the onion and toss, cooking an additional couple of minutes. To that, add the butter and the chunks of cabbage. Season with salt - not too much, remember the bacon is going to provide some salt - then add pepper and Cajun seasoning. Add just enough chicken stock to add a little moisture - the cabbage will release some water as it cooks. Stir to coat the cabbage well, cover and slow simmer for about 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency, and giving it a stir every once in awhile to break up the cabbage. Add a bit more of the chicken stock only if needed.
Open the can of corned beef very carefully. Some brands are harder to open than others. Run a butter knife all around the edges of the corned beef to break it away from the can and pop it out in one piece. Break up the corned beef to small pieces and add it to the pot. Give it all a gentle stir; taste and adjust seasonings. Cover the pot again and warm the corned beef (it's already fully cooked, so ya just wanna warm 'er up!). The cabbage should pretty much be ready at this point, but depending on how you like it, continue cooking it to your preference. Sprinkle with a bit of hot pepper flakes. Yuu-um-my!

User Tip: If you're unsure of your vehicle type, you may skip the machine type selection box.
Please select make, model and year
BatteriesWhen you're ready to ride at the motocross track or on a scenic trail, nothing beats the convenience of a good battery that is ready to go. So if your battery is on the decline, make life easy again with a new dirt bike battery from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. We carry a variety of dirt bike batteries to suit every style and budget.
We have traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium ion batteries and gel cell batteries. We carry leading brands like YUASA, Ballistic, Shorai, Antigravity, Bike Master and more. All you need to do is enter your bike's make, model and year, and we'll show you exactly which batteries will fit your motorcycle. (If you prefer to stick with the OEM battery , just click the OEM button at the top of the page.)
Even if your existing battery is still going strong, there are plenty of reasons to replace it with a better aftermarket one. For example, a maintenance-free battery can remove the headache (and risk) of continually checking and adjusting acid levels. And if you're looking for a lightweight motocross battery, there's nothing better than lithium ion! It's one of the fastest (and cheapest) ways to shave a pound or two off of your motorcycle's weight.

Installed the 4 cell on a DR200SE and shaved nearly 5lbs off this very heavy bike. Noticed no loss in performance over stock even on cold mornings. Held a charge despite being unused and not using a trickle charger for several weeks. I'll definitely be upgrading my other bikes' batteries to Ballistics as they wear out. Got one for my KTM 450EXC about the time that I sold the DR. Had it about 6 months before it started dying after a few starts. I kept it on a quality tender whenever I wasn't going to be riding for a few days. Finally got so bad that it would only start right after coming off the tender. Voltage confirmed my suspicions - 13~V on tender, take it off, in 2 hours its down to 12V, next morning, 11V... Love the weight but not for a battery that costs 2x as much and lasts half as long.

Worked great for about 2 years. Always on a trickle charger when parked so battery never went dead. Barely starts the bike now.

Strong battery, has never failed me. I've bought cheap batteries before and, well, you get what you pay for. I'd buy this again.

When you find out you're pregnant, it'll help if you start to relax about how your body should look. Let's be honest here, your body will change, and you'll have absolutely no control over any of it.
But all those changes will be happening for a great reason: you're growing a baby! With that in mind, here are a few ways to feel good about your nine-month metamorphosis.
Harness the power of make-up!
Make-up can do wonders during your pregnancy. It can be used as a tool to feel pretty and in control. That's particularly important during a time when many women feel they've lost control of their body.Your skin tone and texture may change during pregnancy. So go ahead and experiment. Makeup can be washed off, it isn't permanent, and it's a great way to make you feel good about yourself.
Don't mess with your hairstyle
During pregnancy, your hair goes into a growth phase. This is good news for some women who find they now have shinier, thicker hair.If you normally have plenty of volume anyway, and fear that any more will be unmanageable, you may find a shorter style easier to wear while you're pregnant. You don't have to go through a dramatic change, though. Women get overwhelmed by the results when they do.
And remember, your luxuriant head of hair will thin out after you've had your baby, so that pregnancy hairstyle may not last well.
Your body is going through enough changes as it is. Work with your hairdresser to find a cut that suits you and will work for you as a new mum.
Stay active to feel good
It can be hard just to get dressed every day when you feel bloated and sick. Believe it or not though, a little effort can leave you feeling upbeat and perhaps a bit like your pre-pregnancy self.Besides, it may be a new experience to exercise not primarily to lose weight, but just to feel good.
As exercise promotes muscle tone, strength and endurance, it can:
- help you to carry the weight you gain during pregnancy
- prepare you for the physical challenge of labour
- make getting back into shape after the baby is born easier
Check out the benefits of antenatal exercise.
Hone your maternity fashion sense
Black - the colour of choice for chic, non-pregnant fashionistas - works wonders for mummies-to-be as well. It's worth investing in a pair of maternity jeans too, because they are comfortable and look great.In early pregnancy, dresses that nip in at the waist and then flare out can flatter your changing body. In later pregnancy, make the most of your fabulous cleavage and go empire line.
Lavish love on your skin
The same pregnancy hormones that put your emotions into overdrive can wreak havoc with your skin. Your complexion may look great, with that much raved-about pregnancy glow, or it may become drier than usual and splotchy.A good, gentle moisturiser can work wonders on your expanding belly or anywhere your skin feels dry. There's no evidence it will reduce stretch marks, but it will make your skin feel gorgeous, soft and supple.

Sugary drinks may havecontributed to 180,000 deaths around the globe in 2010, but excessive salt consumption caused 2.3 million deaths that year, according to a new study by the American Heart Association. Some key numbers presented at an AHA meeting yesterday, per Bloomberg and ABC News:

Review of the 2002 Subaru Impreza
From the Sport Wagon to the WRX, the all-wheel-drive Impreza is an affordable and enjoyable alternative to more mainstream cars.

Full 2002 Subaru Impreza Review
What's New for 2002
Subaru completely redesigns the Impreza and brings a high-performance turbocharged WRX variant into the fold to offer enthusiasts the opportunity to drive a powerful, all-wheel-drive sport sedan without breaking the bank. All Imprezas benefit from improvements in performance, refinement and safety. Along with the Impreza's trip upmarket come revised trim levels consisting of two sedans (WRX and 2.5 RS) and three wagons (WRX, Outback Sport and 2.5 TS Sport Wagon). The coupe body style has been dropped.
Subaru has always marched to the beat of a different drummer, and rather than try to compete directly with the small sedans from Honda and Toyota, Subaru goes its own way by offering a few things those mainstreamers don't: big power, all-wheel-drive and a wagon body style.
The Impreza has been redesigned for 2002 and is available in five trim levels: 2.5 RS sedan, WRX sedan, 2.5 TS Sport Wagon, Outback Sport wagon and WRX Sport Wagon. Powering these Imprezas are a 2.5-liter, 165-horsepower, horizontally-opposed (or "Boxer") four-cylinder engine for the RS, TS, and Outback models, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter Boxer kicking out an impressive 227 horsepower for the rally racing-inspired WRX. The Boxer engine layout allows for a lower center of gravity, which contributes to better handling. Transmission choices are a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.
All Imprezas have fully independent suspension and antilock brakes. The high-performance WRX and 2.5 RS versions get four-wheel disc brakes with the 2.5 TS and Outback models having a more conventional front disc and rear drum arrangement.
Subaru claims that safety, handling and ride qualities have all been improved via its Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame body structure and overall increased structural rigidity. The former promotes greater protection in a collision (be it frontal offset, side or rear) while the latter enhances the Impreza's handling and ride.
Standard equipment levels are generous. The 2.5 TS has air conditioning, height-adjustable driver seat, power windows/locks/mirrors and an 80-watt stereo with CD deck. The Outback Sport adds bigger (16-inch) wheels, two-tone paint scheme, massive fog lights, floor mats and cargo area enhancements that include a power point and hidden storage compartment. The RS features a sport-tuned suspension with a wider front track, four-wheel disc brakes, high-performance tires on its 16-inch alloys, sport seats and leather wrapping for the steering wheel, gear shifter and handbrake handle.
Enthusiasts who want something they can really sink their feet into should look at the WRX. The all-out Subie has the performance hardware mentioned earlier as well as a functional hood scoop, limited-slip rear differential, dual-outlet exhaust and the option of 17-inch wheels. Inside the cockpit are alloy pedals, front side airbags, 6-disc CD changer, sport seats and a Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel. High power and relatively low weight allow this rocket to blast from zero to 60 mph in just over six seconds. And the all-wheel drive means that those who live in less than perfect climates can enjoy this performance car all year round.
Offering a generous helping of standard safety, performance and luxury features, the Impreza lineup strikes us as a nice alternative to run-of-the-mill small cars.

AT&T has a lucrative exclusive for the iPhone in the United States. But that has proven to be a double-edged sword. While the iPhone has helped AT&T acquire lots and lots of customers, it has also strained the company's network. Regardless of whether or not that's entirely AT&T's fault, network issues have led to a significant number of unhappy customers.
Improving its image is a top priority for the company. But how should it go about that?
