DATUK Siti Nurhaliza and Indonesia's Kris Dayanti talk about their collaboration which culminated in the album CTKD. HIZREEN KAMAL writes.It was about 18 months ago when these two popular singers, who also happened to be good friends, decided to work on a special album. It is one that their fans have been waiting for all these while.However, the project only took off late last year as they were both busy with their own stuff. The collaboration between our own No. 1 singer Datuk Siti Nurhaliza and Indonesia's Kris Dayanti finally came to fruition with the launch of CTKD (Canda. Tangis. Ketawa. Duka) recently.The production of the album took only a month to complete and they only spent five days in the recording studio.Produced by Siti's SNP (M) Sdn Bhd and KD's KD Records, the album is made in the name of friendship between the two popular divas.CTKD showcases the various emotions that they have gone through as an artiste."And we would like to share these with our fans," said Siti, after the album launch in Kuala Lumpur recently.Meanwhile, KD is pleasantly surprised at the lightning speed the album was produced. "This is the quickest album project I have ever embarked on. It's just magical," said KD.The evening also saw Siti's 31st birthday celebration. About 500 guests were in attendance, including TV host/actor Aznil Nawawi, actress Lisa Surihani, singer Fazli Zainal and astronaut Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al-Masrie who came with his fiancee Dr Halina Mohd Yunos.CTKD features 10 tracks, comprising six full songs and four minus ones. They are Jika Kau Tak Datang (composed by Audi Mok/lyrics by KD and Riznadianka), Sebagai Teman (Sharon Paul/Lew Mable), Amarah (Audi Mok/Siti), Hanya Dia (Aubrey Suwito/Pacha Adrian), Dalam Diamku (Audi Mok/KD and Riznadianka) and Tanpamu (Charly ST12). The minus one tracks are Tanpamu, Amarah, Hanya Dia and Dalam Diamku.All, except Tanpamu, were recorded at a studio in Kuala Lumpur. Tanpamu was recorded in Jakarta, Indonesia.Grateful to the composers involved in the album, Siti views the tracks as some of the "beautiful songs" that she and KD have ever performed to date.During the launch, Siti and KD entertained the audience with two songs from the album - Amarah and Hanya Dia.While some suggests that Siti's vocal seems to be more dominant, she disagreed, saying: "The album is not meant to outshine any of our vocals. With every track being a duet, we both have equal share. If you listen carefully, no one is dominant," said Siti, who had previously mentioned the possibility of a concert with KD in the near future.Asked which of the tracks are the hardest to sing, both singers singled out Dalam Diamku.According to Siti, this was the only track where two studios were utilised at the same time.She elaborated that each of them occupied a studio each to sing their respective parts."It's something different. Audi (the composer) wanted to see how it turns out. And it worked well," added Siti.CTKD is available in the market since last December, and will penetrate the Indonesian market on Jan 27.Siti's not new AF principalAS popular TV reality show Akademi Fantasia (AF) returns for the eighth season this year and rumours are rife that Datuk Siti Nurhaliza will be the new principal.But Siti quickly dismissed it, saying that she is still not ready to take on the responsibility as the academy's principal, which she finds a huge task.However, she did not deny that she had been approached and that she had turned down the offer."I'd like to share my knowledge (on singing and performance) with anyone who wants to be a singer, just not as an AF principal."It is not easy to helm an academy as you need to have thorough preparation. Otherwise, it will leave a negative impact as the post is a very hot seat."Before this, there have been rumours that the 31-year-old award-winning singer would be the AF8 principal. Last year, Astro appointed Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina for the post.Asked about her birthday present from husband Datuk Seri Khalid Mohd Jiwa, Siti revealed that it was a Louis Vuitton limited edition handbag.Called the Louis Vuitton Calliope handbag, it is part of the brand's Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 collection. Believed to be the only one available in Malaysia, it retails at roughly RM40,000 a pop.It is made of brocade silk textile and 34 pieces of different exotic skins, which are hand-dyed. "But what is more important is the love and care from my loving husband," she said.

No, there is no such adjective in standard English as 'impressing'.
As for 'why not', the answer is imply the existence of the dedicated adjective form 'impressive', rendering such a form superfluous.

Two incumbents and a newcomer to the Lee's Summit R-7 School Board of Education were the leading vote-getters in a four-person race for three three-year seats on the board April 8.
Incumbent Terri Harmon led the field with 4,181 (29.6 percent) votes out of a total of 14,125 votes tallied in 48 precincts in Jackson County and two in Cass County.
Newcomer Bill Baird nipped closely at Harmon's heels, tallying 3,973 (28.1 percent) votes to earn his fist seat on the school board.
Fellow incumbent Chris Storms followed with 3,486 (24.6 percent) votes to earn the final board seat and Mark Ousnamer, another newcomer to the school board race, rounded out the field with 2,358 (16.6 percent) votes.
Harmon and Storms were both elected to the school board in 2011 and Baird recently finished his second stint as co-chair for the annual Taste of Lee's Summit gala, an annual fundraiser for the Lee's Summit Educational Foundation.

im having trouble tacing the ser #
thanks for any info
serial 7079 would make it a 1948 C rather than a Super C. super C serial started at 100001 (change over was made in 1951). The main difference so far as I know is the engien, C123 in the super C, versus the C113 used in all but a few of the later Cs..

thanks john
thanks john thats what i was reading
i guess i just hoped i was wrong
it had super c stickers
but oh well
i paid 500
the motor is froze up
but that ................we can fix
Can't tell from this side photo, but the Super C had disc brakes with curved pedal arms vs straight arms on the older C. That's the most visible clue besides the serial #. The Super C also had a water pump and thermostat vs a thermosyphon system like the Cub although I don't know if you can tell from the outside..
51 Cub; IH 340 Utility; IH 240 Utility http://public.fotki.com/PWS/
Super C's also have a 2 or 3" gap between the Hydro lift and the fuel tank to make room for the larger engine.

IRVING -- There are so many issues with the Dallas Cowboys offense that it's hard to know where to start.
More production in the first half might help, especially since the Cowboys have not had a 7-0 lead in any game this season. Only twice all year have they been able to score a touchdown on their first possession.
"Often times it comes down to execution," said Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. "You look at the tape and you say, 'Boy, but we didn't do this, we didn't do this.' You know as coaches, we take a lot of responsibility for execution."
In addition to the lack of execution early on, Garrett said the team's inability to convert third-down plays has also become an issue and that has become painfully obvious in the red zone.
"The focus is doubling your efforts," said Bill Callahan, the Cowboys offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. "It's really refocusing to a point where you can maximize your concentration -- double your efforts in the red zone because everything becomes more critical."
In the 11 games so far, the Cowboys have been outscored in the first half 130-to-73. And it's gotten even worse lately, as Washington and Cleveland outscored Dallas in the first half 41-to-3 in the last two games.
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo said converting third downs is only part the problem.
"You could look at one game and that could be the case," Romo said. "In another game, we're behind the chains whether we didn't get enough yards running or we had an incompletion that put us in a third-and-long or penalty. So, there's a lot of different reasons."
Tight end Jason Witten said those situations early put the team in a bad place late in games.
"It's hard to come back when you're that way," Witten said. "You can't spot good teams, as I said last week, and try to come back from that. We know in order to have success we've got to be able to do that early in games. I just think too many negative plays in the running game and the passing game."
You add it all up, and it doesn't paint a very positive picture.

I had thought that some really positive steps were going to be taken when I started to read the "great news" announcement from the MP for Malvern. I hadn't realised that this was going to be that another MP was going to visit Upton-on-Severn. I'm not convinced that others will share Ms Baldwin's definition of "great".

Get to know a MITX member! We're featuring Evergage.
1. In a nutshell, what is your company all about?Evergage is real-time web personalization. We help marketers and customer success managers get insights into what people are doing on their website or web app, giving them the ability to respond to their visitors' behaviors at the right time, at the right place, with personalized content and messages.
While working together at Red Hat, our now founders CEO Karl Wirth and CTO Greg Hinkle, realized that, while both customers and businesses wanted to engage with one another online, businesses did not have the tools to provide the experience that their customers needed. Businesses were serving up static, irrelevant, online experiences to their prospects and customers. Convinced that a business website could and should be its very best salesperson and customer service representative, Karl started Evergage to provide marketers with a solution that made it easy for them to understand and respond to their customers in real-time, right in the context of the web experience.
3. What makes your company different than other companies in your marketspace?
We wanted to make and keep our solution simple. Marketers and customer success managers can implement this tool today, without coding or the hassle of IT. Then they are given the power to create a variety of dynamic, in-line messages, target their visitors and/or users and view effectiveness with our analytics.
4. What has been your company's greatest accomplishment in 2013?
We've experienced strong growth in our client base in 2013, adding 25 new companies. Notable new clients include Millward Brown Digital, Brainshark, CMSWire, Daptiv, Crimson Hexagon, Acquia, Bullhorn, Publisher's Clearing House and Endurance International Group (EIG). We're proud to have some awesome, local clients on our roster!
5. What's on tap for next year, 2014??
While we were growing fast in 2013, we plan to keep the momentum going! We will continue to hire smart people to join our team, grow our customer base larger, and enhance our product- we're excited to see what 2014 brings us!
6. What is the biggest challenge you face in the marketplace today?
Real-time web personalization is a modern marketing medium that is making waves. So our biggest challenge is that we are paving the way for real-time web personalization - we must educate and teach marketers and customer success managers who are used to traditional marketing channels and programs how real-time web personalization works (thanks to Big Data), and how it can increase customer engagement, driving conversions and customer success.
7. Why are you a MITX member?
Being a part of Boston's digital marketing innovation is important to us. Whether you're in Boston, Cambridge, or Somerville, there are local companies doing great, smart things - and its being recognized across the globe. MITX brings them all together, so they can share and learn from each other and do better! We wanted to be a part of that network of local, smart, innovative professionals.

How are brain and spinal cord tumors in children staged?
The stage of a cancer is a measure of how far it has spread. The extent of spread is based on the results of imaging tests (see "How are brain and spinal cord tumors in children diagnosed?") and any other tests that have been done.
For most types of cancer, the stage of the cancer is one of the most important factors in selecting treatment options and in determining the outlook (prognosis). But tumors of the brain and spinal cord differ in some important ways from cancers in other parts of the body. One of the main reasons other cancers are dangerous is that they can spread throughout the body. Tumors starting in the brain or spinal cord can spread to other parts of the central nervous system, but they almost never spread to other organs. These tumors are dangerous because when they grow, it can interfere with essential functions of the brain.
Because most tumors in the brain or spinal cord do not usually spread, they are not formally staged. Some of the most important factors that determine your child's prognosis include:
- The type of tumor (such as astrocytoma, ependymoma, etc.)
- The grade of the tumor (how quickly the tumor is likely to grow, based on how the cells look under a microscope)
- The location of the tumor
- How much of the tumor can be removed by surgery (if it can be done)
- Your child's age
- Your child's functional level (whether the tumor has started to interfere with normal brain functions and everyday activities)
- Whether or not the tumor has spread through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to other parts of the brain and/or spinal cord
- Whether or not tumor cells have spread beyond the central nervous system
Medulloblastoma risk groups
A staging system is a standard way for the cancer care team to describe the extent of this spread. Formal staging systems have been proposed for some childhood brain tumors. For example, many clinical trials for treating medulloblastoma use a system that places children into either standard-risk or high-risk groups. Children are placed in the high-risk group if they are younger than 3, have a lot of tumor that can't be removed during surgery, and/or have cancer cells in the CSF or spread to other parts of the brain or elsewhere. Doctors are still refining this system to make it as accurate as possible.
Recent research has shown that medulloblastomas can be divided into 4 types, based on the major gene changes found in the cancer cells. Each type of medulloblastoma has a different outlook, so doctors may soon be able to use this to better tailor the treatment each child gets (see "What's new in research and treatment for brain tumors in children?").

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - For the time being, there will be no red-light district on the Internet.
As long-distance revenues plummet and customers disconnect phone lines in favor of cell phones and VOIP, DSL has provided burgeoning broadband revenues for local phone companies. But could DSL be slowing down? Business 2.0 senior writer Om Malik notes that, according to research by investment bank UBS, fewer households are signing up for DSL as a percentage of homes where the service is available. That has AT&T, for one, scrambling to provide other options, including satellite broadband, high-speed fixed wireless connections, and fiber-optic lines. The new initiatives could help AT&T serve another 11.5 million households, the company estimates.
Hypergrowth comes with hyper-growing pains -- just ask YouTube. The online video-sharing site is facing a rebellion among the formerly faithful. Yesterday, blogger and longtime YouTuber Miel Vanopstal lost his cool in a post titled "Screw YouTube." Vanopstal complains that YouTube's recent upgrades have made the site significantly slower, and that new efforts to enforce copyright and delete otherwise questionable material strike him as arbitrary. He is particularly galled that a single alert notice from a "puritanically minded" fellow user can result in a video being deleted. "I've had it with these random rejections," he writes.
With TV's upfront advertising sales set to start next month, the habits of TiVo owners and other digital video recorder users -- who comprise about 9 percent of the audience, a figure that's set to double by the end of 2006 -- are a hot issue. Two seemingly contradictory reports have come out. The first claims, unsurprisingly, that DVR viewers skip ads so much that they barely add anything to the TV ratings advertisers pay for. The second *argues* that even though viewers fast-forward through commercials, they still recall the ads just as well as viewers who watch in real time. The reason, a hopeful CBS executive tells MediaDailyNews, is that when fast-forwarding, a viewer's attention is necessarily fixed on the screen so that they don't miss their show. So they still see the advertiser's message, albeit speeded up and without sound. Regular TV viewers, on the other hand, are prone to such advertiser-unfriendly habits as getting snacks and going to the bathroom during commercial breaks.

"The Scandinavian Riviera," as some locals affectionately call it, runs along Lake Superior from Duluth to Grand Portage, Minn., hard by the Canadian border. More prosaically, it's the area along State Route 61.
My wife and I headed to Lake Superior's North Shore, seeking Scandinavian roots along about 150 miles of shoreline. The evidence wasn't hard to find. There was the Vild Von pizza at Sven & Ole's in the lively town of Grand Marais. The ingredients included wild rice and Canadian bacon.
In the same town, at the Cook County Historical Society, former winners in the Miss North Shore Queen pageant had such names as Anderson, Hedstrom, Lindskog and Sjobers. At The Market, a Grand Marais store, merchandise included a Lonely Planet travel guide to Norway and Sweden. Nearby, the Viking Hus store sold Scandinavian gifts.
In the town of Finland, our guide at the Finland Heritage Site told us that the locals are still mostly Finnish and the center attracts Finns from all over the world.
So, of course, during the week, we had to sample the Swedish pancakes, Swedish meatballs and fresh lake herring. Though, had we seen it on a menu, we probably would have passed on the legendary lutefisk (Norwegian) or lutfisk (Swedish), made from air-dried or dried/salted whitefish and prepared with lye, not typical in fine dining.
The "Riviera" offers plenty of outdoor opportunities such as hiking, biking, fishing, birding, sailing, golfing, canoeing and kayaking, cross-country and downhill skiing — and even dog-sledding.
But if you're looking for "urban" intrigue, the most interesting city on the North Shore is Grand Marais, about 110 miles north of Duluth and about 40 miles south of the Canadian border. It's filled with eclectic attractions and stores (an old-fashioned Ben Franklin but no big-box stores) and numerous places to eat and drink.
One attraction, the North House Folk School, offers more than 225 courses in such unusual subjects as rosemaling (Norwegian decorative painting), Greenlandic Inuit kayak-building, and moose-hide and canvas mukluk-making. Need more? How about Swedish potato sausage-making, Scandinavian holiday baking, Norwegian fjord horse "pleasure driving" (whatever) and Swedish wire craft?
At the Cook County Historical Society, where our guide told us both sets of his grandparents came from Norway, we were told that the area originally was an Ojibwe village. After the 1854 Treaty of La Pointe, homesteaders who primarily were woodsmen, farmers and fishermen moved here from Scandinavia.
Of particular interest to us was Stone Harbor Wilderness Supply, a snazzy shop filled with all kinds of outdoor gear and equipment. The store offers a menu of outings, including a six-hour kayak tour in the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Besides sampling the Vild Von pizza at Sven & Ole's, we tried The Crooked Spoon Cafe for lunch and were pleased with its "contemporary-casual fine dining" sandwich presentations. Our dinner choice, the Angry Trout Cafe, provides close-up views of Lake Superior and a menu featuring the lake's herring, whitefish and trout.
Also in Grand Marais, this year's Moose Madness Family Festival is not to be missed. Mark your calendar for Oct. 19-21.
For our first three Riviera nights we stayed at Cascade Lodge, midway between Lutsen and Grand Marais and surrounded by Cascade River State Park. The rustic Cascade Lodge offers several cabins and 12 rooms in the main lodge (complete with fireplace seating area and sweeping views of Lake Superior). A trail links the lodge to the Superior Hiking Trail.
The 282-mile trail (the last 10 to 15 miles are under construction) stretches from Duluth to the Canadian border.
The nonprofit Superior Hiking Trail Association maintains the trail and offers work trips, guided hikes, maps, guide books and clothing.
Those who wish to hike on their own can camp out along the trail or hike from lodge to lodge, shuttled to trailheads by the lodge or an independent company (218-834-5511, superiorshuttle.com) operating Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from late May to mid-October.
Most visitors hike between May and late October, except for hardier hikers and snowshoers. Most remarkable, though, is the story of Paul Hlina, the first documented person to "through-hike" the trail (in 1995). He had paralyzed lower extremities and did it all on crutches.
Our next stay was at Naniboujou Lodge, opened in the late 1920s as a private club whose charter members included Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey and writer Ring Lardner. The property fell on hard times during the Depression but has been beautifully revitalized.
The lodge dining room boasts Minnesota's largest (200 tons, 20 feet tall) native rock fireplace, encircled by boldly colored Cree Indian designs painted on walls and the geometric, domed ceiling.
Naniboujou operates mid-May to mid-October; the week after Christmas; and weekends through mid-March. One caveat: There are no phones or TVs, and alcohol is not allowed in the public rooms due to the owners' religious beliefs.

The James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus will move a step closer toward its lofty aspirations with a topping out ceremony today at 2 p.m.
The campus community is invited to watch as the construction team moves the last two beams into place atop the building. The beams have been signed by the chancellor, staff members from the libraries and Institute for Emerging Issues who will work in the Hunt Library, and the engineers, architects and trades people for the project.
In a construction tradition that dates back to the eighth century, workers will place a small evergreen on the building to symbolize growth and to bring good luck. Fittingly, a recycled Christmas tree will be used for the Hunt Library, which is expected to receive a LEED Silver designation for environmentally conscious design from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Sitting on one of the highest points on campus, the building will offer views of the Raleigh skyline to the east and Lake Raleigh to the south when it is completed in 2012.
Here's a preview of futuristic features inside the library.
A Courtly Campaign
Basketball coaches Kellie Harper and Sidney Lowe are challenging Wolfpack fans to help raise $35,000 to name a high-profile group study room in honor of student athletes.
The Threes for Hunt challenge lets fans make a pledge for each three-pointer the men and women's basketball teams score this season. The coaches suggest donating $.25 to $10 per three pointer. (If you're budgeting, last year's combined total for both teams was 357 treys.)
Threes for Hunt complements last year's Touchdowns for Hunt campaign by Coach Tom O'Brien, which raised money for the study room.

Legendary Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva went down in a foolish blaze of clownery last night (July 6, 2013), losing to wrestling-minded Chris Weidman via knockout in round two of UFC 162 main event (shocking details here).
And his idol, boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. -- who knows all too well all the bad things that can happen when you play too much inside the ring -- was in attendance to take it all in (photo evidence here).
That's right, the greatest striker in mixed martial arts (MMA) history was knocked clean out by a wrestler with serviceable stand up and questionable power (perhaps no longer). It's not an indictment of Weidman -- he is a very talented, and still undefeated -- fighter.
But, there is no way on Earth he finishes that fight if Silva isn't acting like a complete jackass, juking, jiving and pandering to the crowd with antics that have in the past only added to his legacy and mystique.
Weidman -- at long last -- merely called his bluff with a lights out left hook as Silva practiced his crazy legs.
Crazy in-fucking-deed.
"I felt I was destined for this, but it still felt a little far-fetched. I've had to do it a million times in my head, but for it to actually happen, it still feels surreal," Weidman said in his post-fight speech. "He's unbeatable, the Bruce Lee of mixed martial arts. And thank God for giving me the power to do it."
And just how did Weidman prepare for Silva's tomfoolery?
His trainer, Ray Longo, apparently enlisted the services of several hotshots to impersonate Silva and, in the process, infuriate "All American."
"Ray Longo brought in guys who would play with me, do certain things to get the best of my head," Weidman revealed. "It pisses me off when someone tries to do that to me, so little by little I'm going to creep on him and when he's sleeping I'm going to get him. All respect to Anderson Silva -- I'd love to do a rematch if that's what he wants to do. He was an idol of mine. I didn't want to say it during camp, but I looked up to that guy for a long time."
Rematch? Of course that would seem logical, especially when Weidman promised him the opportunity before the 185-pound match was even booked and then re-enforced by UFC President Dana White in the build up to the championship showdown (details here).
But, it takes two to tango, and as of this writing, Silva is not looking to strut his stuff in front of Weidman anytime soon. "I worked hard for this fight," Silva said. "Chris Weidman is the best tonight. He is the new champion. Chris has my respect because Chris is the best now. Chris is the best -- I worked hard, but still he won. No [I do not want a rematch], Chris is the champion now. All the people tonight need to respect Chris, he is the best."
Perhaps something was lost in translation, with Silva not wanting to steal the spotlight from Weidman. It's also possible he still wasn't thinking straight thanks to his early nap on the Octagon floor.
Ringside announcer, Joe Rogan, however, pressed him for clarification.
"I don't fight anymore for the belt -- I changed my life now," he said. "I've had the belt for a long time now, I'm tired. Chris is the new champion. I'm not retiring -- I have 10 more fights. But, I don't fight for the belt anymore -- I'm tired."
Eleven title defenses in nearly seven years, including a 2,458-day title reign -- at the ripe old age of 38 -- would undoubtedly make any grown man "tired." But, if he's not retiring and he doesn't want to fight for the belt, one has to wonder what Silva has up his sleeve.
It certainly isn't a super fight.
