Continental Grand Prix Attack/Force Tire Combo
GP Attack & GP Force - NEW and faster than ever !
Front and rear tires have different tasks. Steering and braking forces are transmitted on the front, while the rear transmits the driving forces and bears the majority of the cyclist's weight. Subsequently, the two tires in the Continental tire positioning system (TPS) have been designed differently.
GP Attack Front Tire
The tread compoundis designed for excellent grip, both on dry and wet roads. The GP Attack provides good cornering stability when heading down hot mountain roads in the summer, and holds the road superbly when racing along rainy stretches in the autumn. With a width of 22mm, sharp corners are a breeze and this narrower dimension also keeps air resistance and weight down to a minimum.
GP Force Rear Tire
On the rear wheel, GP Force guarantees superior power transmission. 24mm wide, consisting of an ultra fine nylon fabric and protected from punctures by a double breaker belt under the tread, it embodies the strength of Continental racing tires.
- GP Attack:700 x 22C - 190 g - 120 max psi
- GP Force:700 x 24C - 210 g - 120 max psi

Has anyone had any experience - good, bad, or indifferent - with the Knox ORSA gloves? I wrecked out a few weeks ago and smacked my right palm on a very large rock. Haven't been able to ride since. The Knox gloves are advertised as being made specifically for protecting the palm/wrist joint and I don't want to drop $90 on a pair if it's all a gimmick. Thanks.

Hello every body ,I am looking to know the best way to make personalized chocolate mold,with clean and clear result .10x in advance for your help"
Views: 209
Hello Hassan,
Maybe you can expand a bit on your requirements?
I'm not entirely sure if you want to make the mould yourself, or if you want to order them? Is it a complicated pattern you want to make, how many moulds, how many products per mould?
If you want to make something yourself, I'd look into vacuforming thermoplastics. It's not a very complicated process and doesn't need special machines: with basic woodworking skills, some tools and time it's quite feasible to do yourself. I find that PET-G plastic sheet is cheap, easy to work with and produces excellent moulds: they're definetely clean and clear ;-) Be aware that vacuforming has some limitations: it's not suited for every shape and the quality of the mould will depend on the quality of the pattern (e.g. any roughness in the pattern will show on the chocolate) and the quality of your vacuform table (better vacuum gives better reproduction of the pattern).
There are lots of videos on Youtube about vacuforming and building a basic vacuform table, those should give you an impression of the process. Just let me know if this is what you're looking for?
Cheers, Bart
Dear Bart
Thank you so much for your reply and for supported information , yes, I am looking to make the molds in house , for qty 2 kg min for each design , you is it the handmade forming wooden box giving a good result or, to invest in a thermoforming machine ? and which PET thickness can use to get a good result .
and about the 3d mold , you prefer to use CNC router , or there is another solution for that .
Thank you again for your kind of collaboration
Kind Regards
Hello Hassan,
Do you mean a product of 2kg? That is a big chunk of chocolate, what dimensions will this be? I've no experience with something that large.
Anything that is rigid enough and can withstand the heat from the plastic, can act as a pattern. I've used wood, plastic, aluminium, cast resin, epoxy coated styrofoam, even plaster for thermoforming.
Obviously a CNC router and thermoforming machine are a professional solution to make this type of mould. But you're looking at quite a large investment in money (guestimate: several thousand dollars) and time (learning how to operate this machinery). I don't have a CNC router (yet!): at the moment I let somebody else do the CNC routing for any shapes I can't make myself.
PET thickness will depend on size, shape and complexity of your design. As you stretch the warm plastic over your pattern, it will become thinner in some places. For some shapes 1mm is ok, for others I use 2mm. E.g for large flat shapes I prefer 2mm, as it is more rigid than 1mm and there is less chance of cooling spots on the chocolate. But thicker plastic will need higher vacuum for good reproduction of small details and corners on the pattern.
My vacuum forming table is giving me good results for what I do, I make moulds for small shapes with simple geometry (largest so far was 20x20x5cm). First upgrade will be a better vacuum pump so I can use thicker PETG.
With thermoforming it is as with making chocolate ;-) There is no foolproof recipe: sometimes things don't work and you don't know why. Then you need some feeling and experience to balance all parameters for good results.
Best regards, Bart
Thank Bart , the size of the chocolate will from 4 cm up to the chocolate bar size , not 2 kg for 1 ps :-)
and what you said , I am looking for something with low investment , till to be expert in that domain :-)
Thank you a lot for you kind of collaboration
Kind Regards

Medialens is a UK based website founded by David Edwards and David Cromwell that critiques media that progressives are inclined to respect such as the Guardian, the Independent and the BBC. Since 2001, it has compiled enough evidence to convince all but the most blinkered that the so called liberal media is incapable of producing honest reporting and analysis in anything but small and ineffectual quantities. If this were the only value of Medialens' work then it may seem rational to ask why it keeps doing it. However, it is not enough to know that the "liberal media" is biased in favor the powerful. The propaganda we are exposed to is relentless, and those who wish to effectively counter it must also be relentless in researching and disseminating facts and ideas that are suppressed. Newspeak in the Twenty First Century - the second book by Edwards and Cromwell - brilliantly counters elite propaganda on a wide range of topics: Climate Change, Venezuela, Iraq and Iran, Israel and Palestine. Have you focussed so much on Climate Change that you feel vulnerable to corporate media spin on Venezuela - or vice versa? This book will quickly arm you with the facts and arguments you seek. It also touches on the question of creating alternatives to the corporate media, and that is what I will focus on below.
In Newspeak, Edwards and Cromwell wrote:
"Why on earth do we, the public, continue looking to corporate media like the Guardian and the Independent for honest analysis and credible solutions? If we can wake up to the irrationality of our own trust and expectations - if we can become dis-illusioned - we can do something different. We can build our own media, our own sources of information, communication and analysis. This, perhaps more than ever before, is entirely possible. As a result, ideas and action can emerge that are uncompromised by the profit motive."[1]
Some important questions are raised:
Is generating "dis-illusionment" a productive aim?
To merely dispel illusions about destructive institutions can lead to apathy and inaction that pose no threat to the institutions. However, Medialens encourages and facilitates (through its message board) public interaction with the media, and, just as importantly, reader interaction among themselves. Newspeak does not just show what the liberal media cannot do; it reveals that we are capable of doing much better.
For years, Medialens subscribers have been filling the inboxes of journalists, editors and pundits with polite and rational challenges about their work. With rare exceptions (which are duly noted in Newspeak), replies to those emails have ranged from abusive to appallingly dumb. Any notion that high level (and extremely well paid) media workers are particularly well informed or logical will be dispelled by reading Newspeak.
To cite only one example from Newspeak, Helen Boaden, the BBC's director of news, was asked to justify the BBC's habit of reporting as a fact the US/UK government claim that the invasion of Iraq was carried out to spread democracy. She replied by providing "no less than 2,700 words of quotes filling six pages from George Bush and Tony Blair to prove her point." [2]
In other words, if US and UK government officials say something then it must be true.
Newspeak does much more than provide a collection of jaw dropping replies like these from journalists and editors - though that would be revealing enough. In what may be its most devastating chapter - "Real Men go To Tehran: Targeting Iran"- it shows that even after the corporate media was supposedly "bamboozled" into parroting outrageous lies that led to the war in Iraq (and even pledged , in the case of the New York Times, not to be fooled again), it has learned nothing and is reporting US claims about the "threat" posed by Iran as if the Iraq war never happened. Helen Boaden cannot learn that government officials lie, but, evidently, neither can her entire profession. Non professionals, on the other hand, have much less incentive to suppress logic and compassion in the service of power. This is a tremendous advantage and it is highlighted in Newspeak and, on a daily basis, on the Medialens website.
Is excessive trust in the "liberal" media a serious obstacle to creating one that is independent of the profit motive?
Would progressives get much more serious about sustaining independent media (like Znet or the Real News Network) if they were not appeased by corporate outlets that regularly publish writers like George Monbiot, Robert Fisk among a (literal) handful of others? Ideally, this would be answered through research that defines and estimates the size of the "progressive community" and determines - through polls - how much money it gives to the corporate media and why.
Newspeak does not tell us if this research has been done. The authors assume that trust in the liberal media is a major factor stifling the development of radical alternatives. In their first book, Guardians of Power, they noted that alternative media appear to be more developed in the US than in the UK where the corporate press has been more willing to publish Left dissidents. [3] The fact that Znet, the Real News Network, FAIR and Counterpunch are all based in North America lends some support to this assumption, but are there other factors to consider? How many alternative media outlets can progressives realistically be expected to fund or even read? Are we pooling our resources and combining our efforts effectively enough, and if not, why not? I haven't paid for any corporate media output in years (far later than I care to admit), but I still don't fund, or even browse, countless worthy alternative media websites. [4]
That said, there is no doubt that Newspeak has identified a legitimate concern. When as savvy a media critic as Danny Schechter (who, in fairness, is focussed on the US media) can write glowingly of the BBC then clearly there is a problem. [5] As Edwards and Cromwell advise, we should resist the temptation to "use another country's media as a club with which to beat the media of one's own country" without looking very closely at it. I would add that this is especially important since the Internet has enabled readers easily bypass their own country's media. There is also the danger of being softened up by ravings of the far right media to the point where the lethal mendacity of more centrist outlets (i.e. the "liberal" media) is obscured.
Is liberating the media of the "profit motive" enough?
No doubt, if the media is owned by corporations (legally obliged to maximize profits) and if its most influential customers are advertisers - other corporations - then its capacity for truth telling is disastrously constrained. Government owned media like the BBC will not be any better because politicians are typically members of the elite and beholden to them for electoral success. Moreover; the people appointed to run government media are unrepresentative of the general public and even less accountable to it than politicians. Nevertheless, there is potential in government owned media that should not be ignored as I discuss below.
Edwards and Cromwell observed in Newspeak that the question of "what is your alternative?" has been posed by corporate media editors as a conversation stopper. There are no quick and easy ways to create a large scale non-corporate media in a world dominated by corporate interests - just as there is no quick and easy way to erode corporate power. Those who pose the question of alternatives as a diversion are clever to do so. But it remains a valid question even when asked by people who are not interested in an answer.
In Guardians of Power, Edwards and Cromwell wrote a little more about alternatives. They called for a media that was
1) not for profit
2) independent of advertisers and wealthy donors
However, a media that is not also internally democratic will still be susceptible to elite bias because of what Michael Albert calls the "coordinator class"- workers like journalists, teachers and engineers who, though without great wealth to rationalize, have considerable incentive to support illegitimate authority. Mark Evans, in his review of Newspeak, elaborated on these concerns and on possible solutions. [6]
Edwards and Cromwell are aware of these concerns. They have written on their website
"It is ironic that when politicians hail the urgent need to defend our democratic traditions, their words are generally communicated by giant media corporations, which are essentially totalitarian structures of power."
In Guardians of Power, they expressed hope that Internet bloggers and readers will erode the power of the corporate media and cited evidence that this is beginning to take place. No need to worry much about undemocratic structures of power if there is not much structure at all among countless Internet users. But should we pin our hopes on numerous barely funded and almost atomized websites effectively challenging the corporate media?
Why not look to Government?
Based on the number of Guardian readers, the review of Newspeak that Stephen Poole wrote has probably been read by more people than any other. The review was only 228 words long. To Poole's credit (and the Guardian's), he mentioned in passing (what else could he do in two paragraphs?) the "Guardian's own Chomskygate affair of 2005" as an example of valid criticism made in Newspeak.[7]
Poole criticized Edwards and Cromwell for writing of a "psychopathic corporate media on which they nonetheless rely for factual reference". Actually, many of the sources cited in Newspeak do not come from the corporate media at all, but from sources the media has largely ignored. Among many others, these sources include the Lancet studies on the death toll of the Iraq war, a 2003 Cardiff University report on media bias in the weeks prior to the Iraq war, scholarly sources on the history of Israel, and independent journalists like Dahr Jamail.
However, Poole did touch on a valid point. News gathering, like any research, requires resources as does reaching the massive audiences reached by corporate outlets. So, yes, even people working tirelessly to expose corporate media bias remain somewhat dependent on its journalism.
Government owned media like the BBC are not part of the solution as presently constituted. Newspeak does an exemplary job of revealing that, but I found it striking that it did not discuss reforms. Why not suggest that members of the BBC Trust be elected rather than appointed? Why not suggest that they be randomly selected from among the general public as are juries? Why not look at ways to abolish the BBC's internal hierarchy? As with any reform, they can and will be limited by concentrated power, but they also create expectations and outcomes that undermine that power. Reforms will be difficult to win, but much more so if no one demands them - or worse, scoffs at them by throwing out scare words like "state monopoly" and "bureaucracy". By such logic we should all yawn at the prospect of the BBC (and government owned media in other countries) being taken over entirely by corporate power.
It does not seem wise to remain silent about reforming a media outlet with vast resources that the public already believes should be directly accountable to it. Of course democratizing the media requires democratizing other areas of society at the same time. There are no easy answers, but I feel Newspeak, as great a book as it is for many reasons, should have grappled much more with some tough questions.

[7] For Poole's review of Newspeak in the Guardian see http://www.medialens.org/bookshop/review_the_guardian.php
"Chomskygate" refers to an article that Emma Brockes wrote about Chomsky that was so dishonest the Guardian apologized for it after being bombarded by reader complaints. See pages 223-233 of Newspeak for details.
Poole wrote that the following quote from Newspeak is an example of the authors being "childishly apocalyptic":
"...the BBC is part of a system of thought control complicit in the deaths of millions of people abroad, in severe political oppression at home, and in the possible termination of human life on this planet".
Newspeak offers considerable evidence that this statement as anything but childish. Predictably enough, the evidence is simply waved away.
Poole also wrote that Edwards and Cromwell "affect to know what is going on 'unconsciously' in journalists' minds".
In fact, the authors of Newspeak assume that most journalists are not liars; that they keep their jobs, and rise through the corporate hierarchy, by internalizing the proper values and assumptions. What does Helen Boaden think when she claims, in all seriousness, that if the US government says something it must be true? What does it say about Pool's thinking and priorities when he dismisses as "childish" a realistic assessment of polities that disproportionately kill and threaten the world's impoverished majority? Psychic powers are not required to answer these questions.

The deal a day site SniqueAway is offering extremely discounted rates with 10 Hyatt hotels in Florida. I took a look at a few of them and the rates are significantly better than the best rate available and even better than AAA rates and my companies corporate rate. Make sure to compare against the rate you can get with Hyatt directly though, but these rates listed below seem very competitive.
This promotion expires Wednesday June 13th, although dates are limited and can sell out quickly. Discounted rates start today through the end of September. Also, keep in mind that you will not earn Hyatt points or stay credits, so there is a slight opportunity cost there.
I personally wish the Hyatt in Bonita Springs, Florida was on the list as that is one of my favorite Hyatt's for an relaxing weekend getaway. If any of you have experience with any of these hotels, feel free to comment away. I actually haven't stayed at any of these properties, although have visited the one in Ft. Lauderdale for an afternoon.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- The first man set to go to trial in connection with the murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom won't go to trial until next year.
A Knox County judge reset Latalvius Cobbins' murder trial to January 26th of next year.
Prosecutors have said Cobbins will be tried first. Unless they change their minds, the other suspects Vanessa Coleman, Lemaricus Davidson, and George Thomas will probably not go to trial until sometime next year.
That will likely mean, Eric Dewayne Boyd's federal trial for allegedly being an accessory to the fatal carjacking that led to the deaths of Christian and Newsom, will be the first trial help in the double murder case.
Boyd does not face murder charges, but could face 30 years in jail if convicted.
Also today, prosecutors announced they will seek the death penalty against Venessa Coleman.
Volunteer TV's Kim Bedford is in the courtroom awaiting more developments.

Sorry guys but that's a bit bias. My girl drives a stick better than most guys I know. All of her cars were sticks. She holds her own. Plus, like someone stated above I've been with her quite a while so I trust her quite a bit. It's not some two bit two month relationship. Two years is quite a while guys. If I can't trust her with my "stick" after two years we might as well head our seperate ways. LOL

Peripherally Speaking: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick
by Jonathan Holmes
Over the years, the prestige surrounding "arcade stick" controllers has ballooned into something epic. Back in the days of the NES Advantage, stick controllers were made to help ease old-school gaming fans, who weren't as comfortable with the NES "joypad," into the new world of gaming. Like the Wii's Classic Controller, these sticks were relatively cheap and easy to come by, and were made specifically for people who weren't too keen on Nintendo's latest innovation in game control.
It was only after Street Fighter II transformed the fighting game genre into a multi-million-dollar business that "fightsticks" came into being. Unlike the NES Advantage and its brethren, "fightsticks" are extremely expensive, highly scrutinized, frequently home-modified, and supremely cherished by those who value their power. Fightsticks, and the cult-ish devotion they garner, stand as a testament to the dedication a fighting game fan has developed to their chosen sport.
The latest stick to hit the market is from Mad Catz, and was made specifically for the Wii exclusive Tatusnoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, though it works with a lot of other non-motion-controlled retail games, as well as many Virtual Console titles.

Review: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
by Jonathan Holmes
When I tell one of my fighting game-playing friends that Capcom's releasing a new fighting game called Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, the first thing they ask is, "What's a Tatsunoko?", frequently with an incredulous tone of budding disinterest clearly present in the questioning.
Instead of answering their largely unimportant question, I instead cut to the chase and let them know that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom plays like an evolved version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, features 26 characters (21 of which have never been in a fighting game before or have all-new play styles), is as easy to learn but hard to master as the Super Smash Bros. series, and features online play that is thus far nearly lag-free. Their incredulous tone turns into excitement.
Really, that's all you need to know about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. I expect that fans of Capcom's superhero rave series (X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel vs. Capcom), fans of Smash Bros., or anyone who wants to play an almost completely new fighting game with 26 characters, will love the game. It has a few flaws, but it's otherwise a fantastic game, easily my favorite Capcom fighter of this generation.
Still not convinced? Well, then hit the jump for the full review, you stubborn son of a b*tch.

"The mystery isn't in the technique, it's in each of us."
- Harry Callahan
Harry Callahan's quote seems particularly poignant in the digital age. After all, at no other time has the means of taking a photograph been so available. Photography is the most democratic of art forms: the basics of capturing a scene require virtually no training. And most of us have cameras in our pockets.
But with this explosion of approachability comes stratification on technique, that somehow some photos aren't worthy based on how they're done: Film enthusiasts may cast aspersions on those with DSLRs; those with DSLRs may scoff at the point-and-shoot; Polaroid enthusiasts may look down on the Instagramer; Daguerreotypists can't see what all the fuss with HDR is about. We become identified with our technique.
Callahan's quote predates all of this, of course. And it rather reminds me of the story of Walker Evans telling a student that asking a photographer what type of camera he used is like asking an author what typewriter he used. Callahan's sentiment, that it's not the how that matters, but that indescribable spark of brilliance that each of us carries, is more crucial than ever. And that makes photography wonderful: we can all take the photographs, we can all share that mystery within us.
Agree? Disagree? Let us know in the comments section below.

Proposal to update school meal patterns up for public comment
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing an update to the nutrition standards for meals served through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The proposed changes are based on Institute of Medicine guidelines that were released in October 2009. Public comment is currently being sought on the issue.
The proposed rule change will bring the current school nutrition meal pattern requirements in line with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans, or DGAs. Taking into account the latest nutrition science, the new meal pattern requirements will limit calories and sodium and require schools to offer more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
"This is the public's opportunity to weigh in on the rules that schools will have to follow when they plan their menus," said Sandra Kangas, director of the South Dakota Department of Education's Child and Adult Nutrition Services. "We encourage school leaders, food service directors and parents to take some time to review the proposed changes."
According to Kangas, the updated standards will likely be released in January 2012, making the new meal pattern requirements the official guideline for the 2012-13 school year.
Comments must be submitted to USDA by April 13. USDA will then evaluate the comments and make changes as needed.
South Dakota's Child and Adult Nutrition Services administers the USDA child nutrition programs and has made it easy to access the proposed changes online.
Go to http://www.doe.sd.gov/cans/cnr.asp for directions on how to submit comments.

In a little over a week, more than 24 thousand people have signed up for free online classes from Vanderbilt. The school is joining a host of other elite colleges clamoring to experiment with so-called massive open online courses.
Vanderbilt is partnering with Coursera, the brainchild of a couple computer-science professors from Stanford. It's one of several companies trying to figure out how such un-credited classes can ultimately pay for themselves. Top schools like Princeton, Duke and the University of Pennsylvania have signed on.
"It's important to Vanderbilt to be a player."
Associate Provost Cynthia Cyrus says it's a chance to build experience with the technology – not something Vandy's had much of, outside its nursing school.
So next spring it will offer five free classes through Coursera, on subjects from nutrition to online games – all of which have quickly enrolled thousands.
"The question of how many students will finish out is a whole different question than how many started the process of taking the course."
Cyrus says what Vanderbilt offers online going forward depends in large part on what comes of this pilot with Coursera.

Exploring Hydrogen Generation from Biomass-Derived Sugar and Sugar Alcohols to Reduce Costs
|Positive Impact:
|Hydrogen and fuel cells can be used to produce clean, efficient power.
New aqueous phase reforming process uses liquid feedstocks to produce energy from hydrogen with reduced costs.
|Virent, Inc.
|EERE Investment:
|$1.9 million
|Clean Energy Sector:
|Sustainable transportation
With support from EERE, researchers at Virent, Inc. in Madison developed new cost-effective methods to produce hydrogen from renewable resources like biomass-derived sugar and sugar alcohols. Hydrogen can be used with fuel cells to produce clean, efficient power with water as the only by-product. Conventional hydrogen-generating processes require three or more reaction steps, and use non-renewable fossil fuels. The new aqueous phase reforming process (APR) can generate hydrogen from sugar and sugar alcohols in a single-step catalytic reactor process. Because APR employs liquid feedstocks, rather than high temperature compressed gas feedstocks, it has the potential to be less costly than conventional generating processes.
The Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) conducts comprehensive efforts to overcome the technological, economic, and institutional barriers to the widespread commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cells.

D.C. Schoolyard Greening Program
A Good Idea
The D.C. Schoolyard Greening program aims to create more green space on the schoolyards of D.C. schools. Trees and vegetation create an outdoor learning landscape for students and provide a clean and safe environment for learning, playing, and reflection. Green schoolyards are a place of outdoor learning, and as such, the program includes teaching and learning standards and curriculum for both teachers and students. The program supports various greening projects including tree planting, gardening, composting, rain gardens, and greenroofs. The program collaborates with schools to assist in the schoolyard greening process, utilizing design principles and materials that positively impact the urban ecosystem and its local watershed. In addition, the Schoolyard Greening program is actively involved in documenting and evaluating the schoolyard greening process in order to demonstrate the value of outdoor learning spaces and to influence their inclusion in city master planning.
Goal / Mission
The goal of the D.C. Schoolyard Greening program is to increase and improve schoolyard green spaces in order to promote ecological literacy and environmental stewardship among students, teachers, parents and the community.
Results / Accomplishments
Since its inception in 2003, the D.C. Schoolyard Greening program has worked with over 50 local elementary, middle, and high schools to create green schoolyards. In the past year, the program has expanded its national network and boasts a listserv of 194 members.

Hemp flag to fly over US Capitol on July 4
Jul 3, 2013
By The Associated Press
DENVER — An American flag made of industrial hemp will fly over the U.S. Capitol on Independence Day.
Democratic Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado announced Wednesday that his request for the hemp-made flag was granted.
Polis has long pushed for the plant to be legal for farmers to grow. Industrial hemp looks much like marijuana but does not have its psychoactive properties. Federal law prohibits growing hemp, but not importing it.
Historians say the first American flags were made of hemp, which was raised by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
Polis successfully amended the federal farm bill last month to allow farmers to raise industrial hemp. However, the farm bill ultimately failed.
Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon also sponsored the hemp farm bill amendment.

Well, Daniel, you were correct: the sociopaths gave the Capitol Cretins-sorry, Cops a standing O.
Travis Holte, who has a stronger stomach than I, sent me this video. I haven't viewed it: catching a single picture of these criminals when I visit their "official" websites (reluctantly, and only in the line of duty when I'm reporting on their latest atrocity) ruins my day, let alone having to watch them en masse. But if any of you are bulimic, I suspect this clip will be just the ticket.8:37 am on October 4, 2013 Email Becky Akers

After working with many local & foreign organisations for nearly a decade, we changed direction slightly to build a dynamic database for all language tutors & teachers, homestay tutors & host families. They have lots of experience of both teaching english as a foreign language plus organising trips for large amounts of students and their host families. The site is fairly new but is growing in popularity on a daily basis. We also welcome genuine language schools worldwide, who have a real interest in students & the teachers who work for them. Host families & homestay tutors on the site are encouraged to build a profile, add photographs & at least one video of their home or the family or a teaching session. www.xilfee.eu are actively seeking new host families & homestay tutors plus teachers of all foreign languages to add their details to the site. The service is currently free. Foreign students who are learning a language are also encouraged to put their details on the site. This means that a student can apply to the teacher and the language teacher can accept of decline after viewing their details. We are also looking to collaborate with suppliers of TEFL/CELTA organisations so that we can recommend new teachers. If you are interested in becoming a homestay tutor or teacher but have no experience, please email me or take a look at the site for further information. All homestay tutors need to be able to offer pleasant, clean accommodation and a welcoming atmosphere, good quality home cooking and friendship. If this sounds like you, you may want to consider hosting students first of all (you can build a profile just to host students if you wish) and if you find you enjoy hosting, you can then consider teaching. If you have a teaching degree you may want to take a weekend tefl course or if you have no previous teaching experience, you can take a CELTA course which will give you a good, sound understanding of the English language and how to teach.

Tim Kring is Sorryby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Last week, we published an interview in which Heroes creator Tim Kring came across as rather bitter about the current state of television. He even manged to insult those that watch his show at its regularly-scheduled time.
To his credit, Kring has issued a statement apologizing for the remarks:
I need to strongly apologize for the slightly mangled quote of mine that is making it's way around the internet. It was made while trying to explain the rise in DVR and online audience for the show.
I was making the point that these platforms now offer a superior way to watch the show (without commercials, with extra content, commentary, at the audience's convenience, etc.) And went on to say how it's getting to the point where "watching the show on the air is relegated to the poor saps and dip****s who can't figure out how to program their DVR's". (Or something close to that)
It was a boneheaded attempt at being "cute" and making a point.
Instead, it turned out to be just plain insulting and stupid. I know now how it sounded, but I truly never meant to suggest anything negative about our audience. No one cares more about the fans than we do at Heroes, and no one appreciates them more than me. We are grateful for whatever way people are finding our show. Now more than ever.
I want to take this opportunity to say that I'm very sorry for this careless, lame remark. The best way to make it up to you is to live up to my promise that the upcoming episodes of the show are fantastic.
I think you'll agree we're really on a roll and we couldn't be more excited about the last four episodes of "Villains" and the upcoming volume, "Fugitives", which we feel will be a huge hit with the audience.

"build a bridge, and GET OVER IT!!!! " Nice one Cool Kid. HAHAA
Hey, does anyone here want some cheese with their whines? Oh, in that case then cry me a river, build a bridge, and GET OVER IT!!!!
Dude if any person was 'hurt' or 'insulted' by those comments, then you need to get a life and grow a pair of balls. It was tongue in cheek, and true. whaa whaa Tim Kring made fun of me whaa whaa The whambulance is coming for you all.
Yeah, I kinda butchered that last comment. What I meant to say was: And I don't find it as surprising that Kring is so loose with his comments but rather that a show with such a strong extended universe and web based component has a creator that seems so against the idea that people will watch his show primarily on the web, thus utilizing the same tech that he posits as an extention of the series. Sorry, my revisionary skills got the best of me.
I don't think anyone can save Heroes now. Kring's apology just comes across as a half-handed, PR-influenced attempt at covering his ass. And I don't find it as surprising that Kring is so loose with his comments but rather that a show with such a strong extended universe and web based component has a creator that seems so against the idea that people will watch his show ON utilizing the same tech that he posits as an extention of the series. He's just upset because the writing of his show is into either boring or batshit crazy territory.
Alright, I admit I'm a jerk. I still think Jeff Loeb should be the head honcho.
To me the most shocking thing is that the creator of such a web-savvy show would be so loose with his comments. Michael Richards, anyone?
ok both of you, just wtf are you saying even! you are just arguing and thats pointless. nobodys perfect (nonintentionally quoting hannah montana nonintentionally i swear) so the writer of heroes is no exception. i love heroes and especially season 3. great job tim!
wow pete stfu!!!!! im sure if u were in his shoes you would be nervous as f*** and because you said that to your audience, would want to save the show and the fans b apologizing to them. thats what i would of done. so keep ur "spineless retard" comments to yourself.
Spineless. Retard. I rest my case.

text: 4 First impressions - not bad at all and a great pricemkgreen | 30/10/2011 | See all mkgreen's reviews (1)Always difficult to post a review when you don't have any specialist knowledge on the subject or even too much experience with other headphones. As such, I am sure others will give the precise details and technical reviews.However, I purchased these headphones as I needed a decent set without breaking a rather limited budget.My first experiences are that they are a reasonable set of headphones. The sound quality seems excellent and when on, do seem to cut down on the outside noise levels (I am not sure I could not say 81% based on my washing machine test). They are reasonably comortable and adjust well enough.The build quality seems decent enough and they certainly don't feel cheap to me.They did not distort the sound, so all in all I would recommend them. And John Lewis sell them at almost twice the price - so if they are good enough for JL they good enough for me!
