Nissan Frontier
Wikicars, a place to share your automotive knowledge
The Nissan Frontier is a model of pickup truck assembled by Nissan and sold under the Nissan brand name. Nissan was the pioneer of the compact pickup truck market in 1959, joined in the 1960s by Mazda and Toyota. Since 1959, Nissan is known for a number of notable firsts in the compact pickup truck market, including the first extended cab bodystyle (in the 1976 Datsun King Cab) and the first crew cab bodystyle, in the 2000 Frontier. Frontiers are currently built in Smyrna, Tennessee.
See Wikicars' comprehensive Nissan_Frontier Review.

Unique Attributes
Resale Values
According to Kelley Blue Book, the four-cylinder 2WD XE King Cab is projected to retain 58 percent of its value after a 2-year period, while the 4WD SE Crew Cab is expected to hold an impressive 67 percent.
- No V6 engine available until 1999
- No standard cab available
- Turning radius larger than preferred
- 5-Speed automatic transmission shifts hard under heavy acceleration
Current Generation: (2004–present)
Initially, the Frontier was considered compact, but beginning with the totally-redesigned 2005 Frontier (introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show), it became more mid-sized. Built from the new Nissan F-Alpha platform, it now resembles the company's full-size Nissan Titan truck.
The new truck's wheelbase is 125.9 in (3.20 m) with a 205.5 in (5.22 m) overall length. Towing capacity is 6500 lb (2,950 kg). A 4.0 L VQ-family V6, the VQ40DE, is the standard engine, and it produces a respectable 265 hp (198 kW) with 284 ft·lbf (385 N·m) of torque. Also available is the QR25DE four-cylinder engine, which is also found in the Sentra SE-R Spec V sports sedan. A six-speed manual is standard with a five-speed automatic optional. Both rear and four-wheel drive are available. Traction control and hill-descent control are also available.
First Generation/Origins
The Frontier was introduced in 1997 for the 1998 model year as a replacement for the aging Nissan pickup. Nissan first offered the Frontier with a 4-cylinder engine, the KA24DE, but added the 6-cylinder engine, the VG33E in 1999.
That changed in 1999 with the 2000 Frontier Crew Cab. The Crew Cab was the first compact pickup to offer a 4-door bodystyle. Until that point, crew cabs were heavy duty versions of full-size trucks and were mainly used as commercial vehicles.
For 2001, Nissan facelifted the Frontier, introducing bolder styling in an effort to make it more appealing to younger buyers. The Frontier was completely redone after the 2004 model year.
The Frontier is also known as the Navara in some parts of the world.

Design quirks and oddities
The Frontier made its appearance in Garfield: The Movie. It's owned by a vet Liz (Played by Jennifer Love Hewitt).

It can be whatever you want. Your game where you win, or lose or draw, it can be top seed game or even one with unknown players, but means a lot to you.
OK, I will start. This one was really tough. With my friend I played a "Championship". And it was the last game. He led by 1 point so I had to win this. And managed!
So I can say this one is my favorite. With sac!
the pawn storm, and the pawn sacrifice,
This is a game I played today. It might be my favorite game of 2013 so far. I kind of see myself as a positional player, but I now know that such perceptions are flawed for three reasons:
1. I'm a beginner. The amount of blunders I make make every discussion of style meaningless until I don't blunder frequently.
2. No player is completely tactical or positional. Positional plans are implemented and finished via tactics, and tactics flow from a superior positon. Therefore, they tie into each other.
3. Such perceptions can limit the development of an amateur such as myself.
Therefore, I have tried to forget about "style" and started trying to play positions where tactics predominate, since this is where most of the game-losing blunders come for beginners. This game is a successful attempt.
Edward (not Emanuel) Lasker's immortal "king walk" game:
Loved this game when I first found it. At times it looks like some of the puzzles you would see in Tactics Trainer. Towards the end, look out for the threat of smothered mate in order to win material. The preparation for this tactic and the calculation required always impressed me.
I really liked this game I played a bit more than a year ago. I'm proud of drawing someone rated 2300+ (he usually is above 2300. Top rating 2387 and currently rated 2329), but the main reason I like it is probably because I liked walking with the king in the middlegame
Post #5 I don't like because he missed 18. 0-0-0#
I enjoyed to watch all of them. Thank you!
No Prob!
Definitely this one!
Glissando, you're right. One of the best of 1990 WCC!
Or this one!
Easily my favorite game. I beat a player rated over 400 points above me.
My favorite game :)

Beyond 'Light Rail Lite'
International success with "quickways" points to a new model for BRT implementation in the United States.
Running ways. Though the Quickway model builds off of grade separation, many routes leave the guideway at some point, operating in city bus mode (as a local or express service) along arterials. By way of contrast, most Light Rail Lite implementations go to considerable efforts to maintain a dedicated BRT right-of-way or a consistency of treatments along the entire length of the route. Then, too, Quickways are rarely located within existing roadways, but may parallel them, so as to ensure adequate space for stations as well as optimum station location.
Stations. Stations are at the Quickway model's heart. They are the customer experience focal point and the primary means of branding the service. Quickway stations are designed for higher passenger and bus volumes than equivalent Light Rail Lite stations. Grade-separated pedestrian crossings minimize potential conflicts with buses.
Vehicles. The Light Rail Lite model favors the use of specialty BRT vehicles which more closely mimic light rail vehicles in terms of design and passenger comfort. As implemented to date, the Quickway model has been based either on standard transit buses or, in the case of Bogotá, high-floor transit buses with wide, level-boarding doors, but which otherwise are standard articulated transit buses.
Intelligent transportation systems. Most implementations of Light Rail Lite depend on advanced signaling systems to give transit vehicles some measure of priority at intersections; these systems are not required for Quickways. Advanced passenger information systems may be deployed, but have not proven essential to Quickway operations. In general, the major travel time savings made possible by grade-separated Quickway infrastructure renders many technology-based BRT treatments redundant.
Fare collection. Most implementations of Light Rail Lite employ off-board fare collection as a means of minimizing vehicle dwell times: Only Bogotá among the Quickway examples relies on this technique (but in doing so more resembles heavy-rail systems by using stored-fare media and a barrier system); other Quickway cities rely on grade separation to reduce total travel time. This is slowly changing, especially where bus and passenger volumes warrant shorter dwell times.
Service patterns. Quickway-based cities use the infrastructure to create a range of services which take people directly to major employment sites, both on and off the guideway, often eliminating intervening stops and transfers in the process. The Light Rail Lite model generally produces single routes per corridor serviced, imposes additional modal transfers, requires all vehicles to stop at all stations and in a number of cases delivers people not to employment sites but to a rail station for an additional modal transfer.
Identity and branding. Quickway-based systems are more likely to brand the infrastructure (the guideways themselves and the stations that serve them) than any particular service using them. In contrast, most Light Rail Lite implementations of BRT focus on branding the vehicles and the particular routes they serve.
Strategic intent. Quickways, by changing the underlying economic performance of transit services, allow operators to significantly "ramp-up" service in order to meet ambitious mode-split or ridership targets.
International Case Studies
Three international cities represent the state of the practice in implementing the Quickway model.
Ottawa: Transitway. Ottawa, Ontario, was the first city to develop a network of grade-separated Quickways — the Transitway — which it used to operate a range of local, branching and express services. Ottawa developed its Transitway as a cost-effective means of meeting ambitious mode-split targets which were dictated by its long-range land use plan and adopted transportation policies.
Ottawa's Transitway system has been limited by at-grade operation using bus lanes through its relatively dense downtown core, leading to congestion, travel delays and political pressures to convert its Transitway to light rail. Nonetheless, the Transitway at its busiest point matches the highest-volume light rail line in Canada or the United States and gives Ottawa the highest per-capita transit mode share by far of any midsized city in Canada or the United States.
Bogotá: TransMilenio. Bogotá's TransMilenio planners didn't start off with the Quickway model. Rather, they backed into it after confronting the limitations of the Light Rail Lite model to meet crushing passenger demand. Though TransMilenio's busways are only partially grade-separated, grade-crossings are still relatively minimal for an urban system, and the system was designed to support both passenger and vehicle volumes normally associated with high-volume heavy rail systems.

Project Spurs:
No you do not have to adjust your computer settings. What you are seeing is correct. It seems San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili figured out a way to clone himself. Which should bode well for the team seeing they can rotate between the two to have one fresh and ready to go come time for the playoff push. Perhaps this explains why Manu seems rejuvenated each and every season.
Check out this funny photo Manu sent out over his Twitter. I guess he had to have a conversation with someone so it might as well be with himself.

Zoho Builds Bridge Between Projects Application and Google Apps
Zoho Builds Bridge Between Projects Application and Google Apps
Clint Boulton
Posted 2009-10-19
Zoho Oct. 19 let Zoho users sign into the Zoho Projects application with their Google Apps account information and upload files from Google Docs to Zoho Projects and sync Projects meetings with Google Calendar. Users will also be able to embed info from Projects directly inside Gmail, iGoogle and the Google Sites wiki application. This is the latest bridge Zoho has built between its applications and Google Apps as the companies target the traditional on-premises collaboration software market, which includes Microsoft and IBM.
Zoho Oct. 19 continued its integration with Google Apps,
Zoho users to sign into the Zoho Projects application with their Google Apps account and sync content between the companies' programs.
Zoho Projects
is the cloud computing software maker's project management and collaboration application. The program, which got a significant upgrade in July, lets work teams plan and track tasks, milestones, reports, time sheets, priorities and dependencies.
By integrating with Google Apps, Zoho Projects users will not only be able to pull in Google Docs files to share with other team members, but also sync Projects milestones, meetings and tasks with Google Calendar.
Moreover, users will be able to install a gadget from Zoho that lets them embed info from Projects directly inside Gmail, iGoogle and the Google Sites wiki application. "Having project management as part of your Google Apps helps you to seamlessly work on your projects, e-mail and documents all from a single place without a need to remember multiple logins and eliminates the burden of juggling your data floating around Google Apps and project management software," Zoho Evangelist Raju Vegnesa
said in a statement
. Google Apps lacks project management capabilities, so letting Zoho build a bridge to its Zoho Projects could fill a gap for Apps users. Meanwhile, Google Apps
now has
20 million users in 2 million businesses. If Zoho can continue to leverage that user base, it should be able to expand beyond its current base of 2 million users.
Zoho Projects users can access their Projects account using their Google Apps user name and e-mail password. For users who already have a Zoho Projects account, logging into their Google Apps account will automatically merge their existing Zoho Projects account, provided the e-mail ID used in both Zoho Projects and Google Apps remains the same. This is just the latest bridge Zoho has built between its applications and Google Apps as the two companies seek to gang up on Microsoft and IBM, the old guard of on-premises collaboration software. In May 2008, Zoho began letting users log in to Zoho with their Google and Yahoo accounts. This past August, Zoho
made it possible
for Google Apps users to log in to Zoho using their Google Apps domain credentials. Zoho also sells SAAS (software as a service) business applications for customer relationship management, billing creation, project management, application development and several other enterprise functions. Zoho believes that Google Apps users may want to use their collaboration apps to extend into these complementary enterprise applications. "Sure we compete with Google. But we compete in only a subset of apps we offer. We have a broad set of business applications which can complement Google Apps users," Vegnesa said.

How Nasa's £1.67bn Mars Curiosity probe must slow from 13,200mph in six minutes for a soft landing on the Red Planet
- The robotic lab is due to land on Mars on August 6
- Rock, soil, weather and environment will all be studied by the Curiosity rover
As landings go, this will be one of the trickiest ever attempted.
On August 6 Nasa's Curiosity rover, packed inside the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft, will hurtle towards the Martian surface at around 13,200mph – and has just over six minutes to slow down and make a soft landing.
What's more, the craft has to be at just the right angle for the descent to be a success – likened by one Nasa scientist to firing a golf ball from Los Angeles to land in a hole at St Andrew's in Scotland.
The mission's entry, descent, and landing (EDL) phase begins when the spacecraft reaches the top of Martian atmosphere, about 81 miles (131 kilometres) above the surface of the Gale crater landing area, and ends with the rover safe and sound on the surface of Mars.
Scroll down for video
Gently does it: Curiosity will be lowered down by a Sky Crane craft fitted with retro boosters
Speedy: The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft, with Curiosity inside, will hit the Martian atmosphere at 13,200mph
Red alert: Curiosity will probe the Martian environment using highly advanced instruments
During the EDL, the three-ton spacecraft decelerates from a velocity of about 13,200 miles per hour (5,900 metres per second) at the top of the atmosphere, to stationary on the surface.
Most of the enormous deceleration
needed will be achieved by friction with the atmosphere. In the final
stages a parachute will be deployed and the Curiosity rover will pop out
of the main craft attached by nylon tethers to a Sky Crane fitted with
retro rockets.
This craft will hover above the surface and gently lower Curiosity down.
How Curiosity will make its nervy landing on the Martian surface
Size matters: The Mars Science Laboratory is the biggest and most sophisticated planet-roaming machine ever to be deployed
It's a set of manoeuvres that'll leave staff at mission control with sweaty palms.
Dr Charles Elachi, director of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, where the probe was built, told The Independent: 'We will be very nervous. Landing on another planet is not a walk in the park. It's very challenging and there have been mixed successes and failures in the past.'
In 2003, for instance, Britain's Beagle 2 probe lost contact with Earth as it came into land and was never heard from again.
Elachi added: 'The reason we are nervous is that it's about 3 tonnes of mass… equivalent in terms of energy to 25 high-speed trains going at full speed. In addition, the accuracy we have to point to be at the right angle is equivalent to me being in Los Angeles and hitting a golf ball to land in a hole on St Andrew's golf course in Scotland.'
About to have a blast: The Mars Science Laboratory, with Curiosity inside, being transported to the launch pad
Up, up and away: The rocket carrying curiosity took off successfully on November 26 last year
- On average it lies 141.6 million miles from the Sun.
- With a diameter of 4,222 miles, it's around half the size of the Earth.
- It's absolutely freezing there, with an average temperature of -85F (-65C).
- Gravity is much less powerful - slightly less than 40 per cent of ours.
- The
atmosphere is desperately thin – one per cent of Earth's pressure – and
not very nice for us humans because 95 per cent of it is carbon dioxide.
- It
boasts the solar system's biggest mountain – Olympus Mons, a dead
volcano with staggering proportions. It measures 335 miles across and rises to a height of 88,000ft, which is almost three times higher than Everest.
- Mars has two cosmic sidekicks – the moons Deimos and Phobos.
- Mars's red colouring comes from the iron oxide that coats its surface.
- Mars has huge amounts of ice at its polar caps. If they melted, it would cover the whole planet in water 11-metres deep, according to Nasa.
Nasa's most advanced mobile robotic laboratory will examine one of the most intriguing areas on Mars.
Curiosity is a rover with more scientific capability than any ever sent to another planet.
It will set down inside a huge crater and use its highly advanced instruments, including cameras and lasers, to find out more about the planet's environment, which will help pave the way for human missions.
Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at Nasa Headquarters in Washington, said: 'Mars Science Laboratory builds upon the improved understanding about Mars gained from current and recent missions.
'This mission
advances technologies and science that will move us toward missions to
return samples from, and eventually send humans to, Mars.'
The one-ton rover will examine Gale Crater during a mission that will last nearly two years.
Curiosity will land near the base of a layered mountain three miles (five kilometres) high inside the crater.
The rover will investigate whether environmental conditions have ever been favourable for development of microbial life and preserved evidence of those conditions.
John Grotzinger, project scientist for the Mars Science Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said: 'Gale gives us a superb opportunity to test multiple potentially habitable environments and the context to understand a very long record of early environmental evolution of the planet.
'The portion of the crater where Curiosity will land has an alluvial fan likely formed by water-carried sediments. Layers at the base of the mountain contain clays and sulphates, both known to form in water.'
Curiosity is twice as long and five times as heavy as earlier Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
The rover will carry a set of 10 science instruments weighing 15 times as much as its predecessors' science payloads.
A mast extending to seven feet (2.1 metres) above ground provides height for cameras and a laser-firing instrument to study targets from a distance.
Instruments on a seven-foot-long (2.1-metre-long) arm will study targets up close.
Analytical instruments inside the rover will determine the composition of rock and soil samples acquired with the arm's powdering drill and scoop.
Other instruments will characterise the environment, including the weather and natural radiation that will affect future human missions.

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
In this display are manifested the Russian love of song & dance & circus!
hello? I am not sure I am doing this properly - I apologize for any goofs, gaffs, or snafus
Your girls are wonderful, so beautiful and playful!!!!
Thanks for sharing Victor!
Amazing photos! I'm particularly taken with the girl in the black hat and the girl on the swing :) I'd be interested to know the significance of each costume.
Your photo is so much fun, Viktor. And the whole explanation about the color red is interesting as well. Like Siki, I love the girl on the swing and the whole circus environment. Your observation about the esthetics of the Russian Barbies is most interesting. I still can't figure out why French Barbie still wears a beret or Mexican Barbie carries a Chihuahua, or why Dutch Barbie, clad in an apron and clogs, wears her hair in braids. Sometime the folks at Mattel don't travel much.
Victor, Your dolls are so beautiful, and I love the richness of the costumes. You are right when you say Mattel does not create correct ethnic faces for it's dolls or diversity of faces.
They all look the same. Other companies are doing better representations but still do not create the Slavic features that I would like to see.
Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks V
Это правда, мы любим красное!
I agree that the "Asian" Barbie dolls look rather Slavic. I am also using one (the Asian-American "Lea for President") for my Persian princess because she was the most Persian looking I could find.
I love the red boots with the Russian costumes. They remind me of a story book my mom read to me about a Hungarian city girl who went to visit her uncle's farm and got dressed up for Easter.

Forgotten No Longer
SOURCE: AP/Rahmatullah Naikzad
As the security situation in Iraq reaches a tenuous balance of power, the news from the forgotten war in Afghanistan is getting worse. Overall levels of violence are up, the Taliban is gaining strength, and U.S. casualties are on the rise.
The by-the-numbers look below is only a glimpse of how much the situation has deteriorated since the world stopped paying attention.
Violence is increasing.
2007 was the deadliest year for American forces in Afghanistan. 2008 is on pace to be even deadlier; in June, more international coalition forces were killed in Afghanistan than Iraq. Attacks in eastern Afghanistan in June of 2008 are 40 percent higher than the previous six months.
0: The number of suicide bombings in Afghanistan between 1983 and 2001.
21: The number of suicide bombings in 2005.
123: The number of suicide bombings in 2006.
160: The number of suicide bombings in 2007.
1,931: Number of roadside bombings in 2006.
2,615: Number of roadside bombings in 2007.
The Taliban is strengthening.
The Karzai government now controls less than one-third of the country. The other two-thirds is either uncontrolled, in the hands of the Taliban, or in the hands of warlords. The Taliban are openly challenging U.S. forces in pitched battles. This month, Taliban forces mounted the deadliest assault on U.S. forces since 2005 in Kunar province. Last June, Taliban forces attempted to gain control over large swaths of Kandahar.
350-400: Taliban fighters freed in a June 2008 Taliban attack on a prison near Kandahar, some of them district-level commanders.
Casualties are increasing.
556: Americans killed in Afghanistan since 2001.
46: Number killed in June 2008 alone, the month with the highest number of coalition deaths since the 2001 invasion.
Troop levels, funding, and staffing is inadequate.
Ground commanders have requested an additional 3 U.S. combat brigades, over 10,000 troops, for combat and training operations. Yet the U.S. military is unable to provide these troops without a significant drawdown of U.S. forces in Iraq. As noted by Adm. Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, additional forces "will not be available (to go to Afghanistan) unless or until the situation in Iraq allows us to do so."
$10.2 billion: Amount the United States pledged to Afghanistan over the next two years at an international donors conference in June.
$10.3 billion: Amount the Department of Defense spent per month in Iraq in 2007.
$25 billion: Total development aid pledged by international donors to Afghanistan from 2002-2008, prior to the June aid conference.
$15 billion: Total actually spent.
$10.4 billion: Total pledged by the United States during this period.
$5 billion: Total actually spent by the United States.
36,000: U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
150,000: U.S. troops in Iraq.
Training missions still lagging
$6.2 billion: Total spent from 2002-2008 on police training.
0: Number of Afghan police units rated fully capable by DOD
30 units, or 7 percent: Number of Afghan police units rated capable with coalition support or partially capable.
334 units, or 77 percent: Number of Afghan police units rated "not capable."
69 units, or 16 percent: Number of Afghan police units rated "not formed or not reporting."
44 percent: Staffing level of U.S./NATO embedded trainers with the Afghan National Army.
39 percent: Staffing level of U.S./NATO police trainers with the Afghan National Police.
These warning signs are not going away any time soon. But if the United States keeps spending all of its resources in Iraq, it will miss the opportunity to defeat the insurgency in Afghanistan—the true central front in the war against terrorism—and cut off important Al Qaeda safe havens. U.S. leadership must recognize that until it devotes significant resources to Afghanistan, the insurgency will continue to gain strength and the United States and its partners will continue to react to events on the ground instead of dictating the pace of operations.
It is time to stop recklessly extending our military presence in Iraq and regain control of our overall national security interests in the greater Middle East by redeploying our forces out of Iraq and into Afghanistan.

A-1 Lock Installation Tools
Installation tools simplify installing mortise, cylindrical and handleset locks. There are even installation tools for installing cabinet and utility locks.
I found a Blu-Mol® 2-1/8" diameter arbored, carbon steel hole saw, part number 6507. This one-inch deep body carbon steel hole saw is designed for wood only and has teeth in a narrow set (kerf). The carbon steel holesaw body is thinner than a comparable bi-metal holesaw. Having a narrow set should prevent much of the undesired cutting into the jig body or inserts. The downside is a carbon steel holesaw does not last as long as a bi-metal holesaw. However, with proper drilling techniques, the carbon steel hole saw can last for many wood door lock installations.
I prefer using an auger bit for drilling the edge bore with an installation tool. The tip of the auger bit is threaded. I start drilling slowly, making sure the drill bit slides easily through the installation tool and begins cutting away material. I strongly suggest no one uses a spade or spur bit when using an installation tool.
The Bulls Eye Installation Tool for Cylindrical Locksets has movable basket tabs to set the backset. With the tabs extended, the backset is 2-3/4". Because this is a residential lock installation, I will set the backset at 2-3/8", the same dimension as the existing locks. Note: The F Series lever lock latch is adjustable for both backsets.
For this installation, I will drill the cross bore opening first. I will drill from one side about half way. Then I will drill from the other side of the door to complete the opening.
The next step is to drill out the edge bore. Once the auger bit has cut into the cross bore, stop drilling. Remove the installation tool and remove any rough edges.
To install the latch bolt into the edge of the door, I use it as a guide. I make sure the latch bolt is vertical and draw a line around the face. Using a 7/8" wood chisel, I remove enough material from the door edge to recess the latch having the plate flush.
The wood chips are then vacuumed up and the lock is installed.
For information on A1 installation tools, contact your local locksmith distributor or A1 Security Mfg. at 877-725-2121. Web Site: www.demanda1.com

ChrisW said | January 24th 2012 @ 3:12pm | Report commentCyclists arnt hated its when they go in the middle busy roads which is the problem and i think track cycling has quite a history in Australia.
January 24th 2012 @ 5:44pm
DANIEL said | January 24th 2012 @ 5:44pm | Report commentIn Green EDGE's case, it will act more like one of those huge european outfits, unlike the a-league. I think many Australian Pro Cyclists are gonna want to hang around a team that is clearly looking to focus on the sprinting jerseys at some stage.
January 24th 2012 @ 7:16pm
SimonM said | January 24th 2012 @ 7:16pm | Report commentSimon Gerrans twice referred to as a "young rider."
That's going to make any other cyclist in their 30s (as he is) feel good ;o)
January 25th 2012 @ 6:23pm
Cameron said | January 25th 2012 @ 6:23pm | Report commentI think that this article touches on an issue that hasn't really been focused on from Australian media reporting on this: that the team is very one-dimensional. It's either got a ton of sprinters or a ton of ex-trackies and there's even talk of another ex-trackie coming to the team after McEwen retires mid-season. They do have a few riders for the classics, namely Gerrans, O'Grady, Docker and Clarke but really they have very few riders that can get over any sort of mountain in front of the autobus. Really I think they're putting too much faith into Meyer and Bobridge to suddenly grow wings uphill.
Come Giro time, if GE haven't had a successful Classics campaign then it will a very quiet season thereafter. Goss is a great sprinter for sure but in a new team with an untested sprint train setup against the likes of proven stars such as Cavendish, Griepel, Pettachi etc, he will have his work cut out and will need to be in good form for a lot longer than last season, it is a lot of pressure.-
January 26th 2012 @ 10:54am
adam said | January 26th 2012 @ 10:54am | Report commentCam, I know that GE's focus for the TDU was Gerrans and the overall win, however a weakness in their sprinting was exposed with the Gorilla winning 3 sprint finishes.

Fast-moving consumer goods
Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) or Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) are products that are sold quickly and at relatively low cost. Examples include non-durable goods such as soft drinks, toiletries, Over-the-counter drugs, toys, processed foods and many other Consumables. Though the profit margin made on FMCG products is relatively small, more so for retailers than the producers/suppliers, they are generally sold in large quantities. FMCG is probably the most classic case of low margin/high volume business.
Fast-moving consumer electronics are a type of FMCG and are typically low priced generic or easily substitutable consumer electronics, including mobile phones, MP3 players, game players, and digital cameras which are of disposable nature.
The term FMCGs refers to those retail goods that are generally replaced or fully used up over a short period of days, weeks, or months, and within one year. This contrasts with durable goods or major appliances such as kitchen appliances,which are generally replaced over a period of several years.
FMCG have a short shelf life, either as a result of high consumer demand or because the product deteriorates rapidly. Some FMCGs—such as meat, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and baked goods—are highly perishable. Other goods such as alcohol, toiletries, pre-packaged foods, soft drinks, and cleaning products have high turnover rates. An excellent example is a newspaper—every day's newspaper carries different content, making one useless just one day later, necessitating a new purchase every day.
The following are the main characteristics of FMCGs:Product Management in India. PHI Learning. 2004. pp. 26–27. ISBN 978-81-203-1252-4. Retrieved 2010-06-19.
- From the consumers' perspective:
- Frequent purchase
- Low involvement (little or no effort to choose the item – products with strong brand loyalty are exceptions to this rule)
- Low price
- From the marketers' angle:
- High volumes
- Low contribution margins
- Extensive distribution networks
- High stock turnover
