Ayu Utami
Ayu Utami (born on November 21, 1968 in Bogor, West Java) is a Indonesian writer. She has written novels, short-stories, and articles. Saman (1998) is widely considered her masterpiece. It was translated into English by Pamela Allen in 2005. By writing about sex and politics, Utami addressed issues formerly forbidden to Indonesian women, a change referred to as sastra wangi. Ayu Utami is a leading voice among the new generation of Indonesian artists and writers emerging after the fall of Suharto. Utami was born in Bogor and grew up in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. She obtained her Bachelor's degree from the University of Indonesia, where she studied Russian language and literature. During her college years she had already begun publishing reports and essays in various newspapers. In 1990, she was selected as a finalist in Wajah Femina, a beauty pageant in Indonesia. However, she did not pursue a modeling career because of her dislike of cosmetics and make-up. She has been a journalist for various Indonesian magazines, including Humor, Matra, Forum Keadilan, and D&R. Shortly after Suharto banned three magazines in 1994 (Tempo, Editor, and Detik) during the New Order era, Ayu  ( Wikipedia article )

Volleyball Splits Tri-Match
Saturday, October 02, 2010
Arlington, Va. – Marymount University's volleyball team split a pair of matches as it hosted a tri-match on Saturday afternoon. The Saints dropped a Capital Athletic Conference contest 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-18) to Frostburg State before regrouping to defeat Washington (Md.) College 3-1 (25-17, 25-20, 18-25, 27-25) later in the day.
Sharda Braxton led all players with 14 kills in the win while Johanna Hummel added 10. Melissa Warren paced the offense with 37 assists to go with 13 digs for a double-double.
Chelsea Gates and Brianne Fitzpatrick also had solid defensive games, posting 13 and 18 digs, respectively.
Marymount dominated the Shorewomen in the first two games, outhitting Washington in both sets while notching a sharp 13 kills in each frame.
The Shorewomen bounced back in the third to avoid the sweep.
In the fourth set, Marymount battled back from a set point at 24-23 to force the stanza into extra points. Kills by Braxton gave the Saints match point at 25-24 and 26-25 before an attack error ended the upstart Shorewomen's comeback attempt.
In the loss to Frostburg State, Braxton again led the Saints with nine kills while Warren had 25 assists and Gates added 12 digs.
Marymount returns to action on Wednesday, October 6, at home against Hood at 7 p.m. The CAC match will serve as the Saints' DIG PINK event to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness.

UPDATED: Paris Hilton Arrested on Cocaine Charges
By Michael Lewittes | 3:45 pm, August 28th, 2010UPDATED
3rd UPDATE – 3:45 PM -
Paris Hilton reportedly insists that a purse in which police found cocaine does not belong to her.
Sources who have spoken with the socialite since her late Friday arrest say she denies the offending purse belongs to her, according to TMZ.
Hilton has hired David Chesnoff to represent her in the case. He has released the following statement:
"This matter will be dealt with in the courts not in the media and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law. There will be no interviews and no more comments at this time."
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Paris Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession in Las Vegas late last night.
According to Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin, "Officers noticed a vehicle leaving [a] smoke trail of a controlled substance [and] made a stop based on that."
During that stop, police found cocaine on Hilton.
She was booked early this morning, and released on her own recognizance.
It's been a whirlwind week for Hilton, who called the police on Tuesday when a burglar attempted to break into her home.
This past summer, Hilton was taken into custody in South Africa on suspicion of possession of marijuana.

Of business all the morning. Door Phone Systems said Mrs. Sparsit that afternoon, when her patron was gone on his journey, and the Bank was closing, present my compliments to young Mr. Thomas, and ask him if he would step up and partake of a lamb chop and walnut ketchup, with a glass of India ale? Young Mr. Thomas being usually ready for anything in that way, returned a gracious answer, and followed on its heels. Mr. Thomas, said Mrs. Sparsit, these plain viands being on table, I thought you might be tempted. Thank'ee, Mrs. Sparsit, said the whelp. And gloomily fell to. How is It, Door Phone Systems? asked Mrs. Sparsit. Oh, he's all right, said Tom. Where may he be at present? Mrs. Sparsit asked in a light conversational manner, after mentally devoting the whelp to the Furies for being so uncommunicative. He is shooting in Yorkshire, said Tom.
Sent Loo a basket half as big as a church, yesterday. The kind of gentleman, now, said Mrs. Sparsit, sweetly, whom one might wager to be a good shot! Crack, said Tom. He had long been a down-looking young fellow, but this characteristic had so increased of late, that he never raised his eyes to any face for three seconds outdoor camera together. Mrs. Sparsit conseuently had ample means of watching his looks, if she were so inclined. It is a great favourite of mine, said Mrs. Sparsit, as indeed he is of most people. May we expect to see him again shortly, Door Phone Systems? Why, I expect to see him to-morrow, returned the whelp. Good news! cried Mrs. Sparsit, blandly. I have got an appointment with him to meet him in the evening at the station here, said Tom, and I am going to dine with him afterwards, I believe. He is not coming down to the country Doorbell for a week or so, being due somewhere else.
At least, he says so; but I shouldn't wonder if he was to stop here over Sunday, and stray that way. Which reminds me! said Mrs. Sparsit. Would you remember a message to your sister, Door Phone Systems, if I was to charge you with one? Well? I'll try, returned the reluctant whelp, if it isn't a long un. It is merely my respectful compliments, said Mrs. Sparsit, and I fear I may not trouble her with my society this week; being still a little nervous, and better perhaps by my poor self. Oh! If that's all, observed Tom, it wouldn't much matter, even if I was to forget it, for Loo's not likely to think http://www.doorbellcn.com

Hong Kong International Airport
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)
Located in Chep Lap Kok outside of Hong Kong City, Hong Kong International Airport is one of the world's busiest airports. Serving more than 50 million passengers each year, the facility is one of the main travel hubs in mainland China.
Hong Kong International Airport is served by roughly 90 airlines to more than 150 cities worldwide, including Paris, Moscow, Auckland, London, Mauritius, Delhi, Riyadh, Johannesburg, Sydney, Toronto, Los Angeles, Chicago, Tokyo and Bangkok, as well as a number of domestic destinations within China.
One of the biggest terminal facilities in the world, Hong Kong International Airport has also been voted among the best airports worldwide by Skytrax. The facility is clean and efficient, with few of the organization problems that plague smaller Chinese airports. There are also a host of entertainment options ranged from designer shops and restaurants to art galleries and even a golf course.
The airport is situated 21 miles (34km) northwest of Hong Kong Island and 14 miles (23km) from Kowloon.
Getting to the city
The Airport Express Line is a dedicated airport railway providing a fast and reliable service to and from the airport and downtown Hong Kong (HK$100 one way). Trains depart daily, every 12 minutes, between 6am and 1am, and take around 25 minutes into Central. Free scheduled shuttle buses leave Hong Kong and Kowloon stations everyday, taking Airport Express passengers to and from major hotels plus key transport interchanges. There are nine Airbus routes that can take you to and from the airport. Fares range between HK$14 and HK$24. When you exit the arrivals hall, turn right for Airbuses and ordinary city buses.

A taxi to the centre of Hong Kong costs about HK$350 to HK$400. Journeys involving passage over Lantau Bridge will incur a toll fare of HK$30, payable by the passenger. Note that taxis do not have access to Discovery Bay.
Transfer between terminals
There are people movers to transport passengers from Terminals 1 and 2 to the high-speed ferry service that connects them.
Airport facilities include banks, ATMs, currency exchange offices, a post office, beauty salon, a children's play area, showers, restaurants, shops (including duty-free), disabled facilities, internet cafes, cinemas, a golf course, conference and business services and tourist information desks.

On Tuesday, August 28, from 6-7:30 p.m., the University of Michigan Detroit Center is proud to present Music in the Key of "D": Detroit Jazz, Then and Now. Open to the general public, this event includes complimentary admission, parking and light refreshments for all attendees.
In celebration of the Detroit Jazz Festival, this entertaining and educational panel discussion examines the city's rich jazz heritage from it's earliest beginning to present day influences.
As jazz emerged in the 1920s, the city of Detroit quickly became one of the nation's hottest jazz destinations, standing alongside New Orleans, Chicago and St. Louis. As word traveled, musicians across the country relocated to Detroit in hopes to capitalize on the genre's renown in the city. Through the 1950s, Detroit was one of America's most important jazz centers, producing legends like William McKinney, Paul Chambers and Kenny Burrell.
Music in the Key of "D": Detroit Jazz, Then and Now takes its audience on a historical journey of Detroit jazz through pictures, music and dialogue.
Presented by some of the most knowledgeable person in Detroit jazz history and music, panelists include:
Lars Bjorn, professor of sociology at University of Michigan-Dearborn and author of Before Motown: A History of Jazz in Detroit, 1920-60
Jim Gallert, jazz broadcaster, researcher, writer and co-author of Before Motown: A History of Jazz in Detroit, 1920-60

The AudioCodes 320HD IP Phone is nearing release and enters a growing field of High Definition VoIP endpoints. The Audiocodes 320HD is a 4-line IP Phone with a large Monochrome LCD screen. Based on AudioCodes' VoIPerfectHD software, the 320HD is designed to utilize the most popular wideband codecs such as G.722, G.722.2 (WB-AMR), G.729.1, EVRC-B and G.711-WBE.
The Audiocodes 320HD also features enhanced proprietary capabilities, such as packet loss concealment, high quality wideband acoustic echo canceller, and low-delay adaptive jitter buffers to enrich the HD VoIP experience.
The AudioCodes 320HD promises interoperability with a wide range of SIP IP-PBXs, Softswitches and IP Centrex solutions. I'm currently running the 320HD as my primary extension on Switchvox 4.0 and setup was painless.
The term "HD VoIP" refers to the use of wideband codec technology, a marked improvement in audio clarity versus traditional telephony. The traditional Public Switch Telephony Network (PSTN) limits bandwidth to 300-3400Hz and voice signals are sampled at a rate of 8 kHz, causing limitations in communication quality and comprehension.
With HD VoIP, wideband telephony refers to transmitting speech signals with bandwidths ranging between 50-7000Hz and a sampling rate of 16 kHz. HD VoIP effectively doubles the narrowband speech signal bandwidth and offers the caller "true voice" conversation.
Compared to narrowband telephony, wideband technology establishes a sense of presence, resulting in a natural and comfortable conversation.
Audiocodes has not provided an official release date or pricing information on their HD IP Phone lineup as of this writing. Visit the VoIP Insider in coming weeks for additional coverage on the Audiocodes 320HD IP Phone and other Audiocodes HD VoIP products.

I bought this as a replacement for my Eddy, which leaked to high heaven whenever somebody looked at it funny. THIS BOTTLE IS LEAK-PROOF!! And you don't have to suck endlessly in order to drink! It is amazing, and that is all.However, Camelbak: you need to do 2 things.1: Post a photo of the cap tucked into the inside of the handle. This is one of the better features of this product, and you're completely leaving it out. I figured this out, but other reviewers haven't, and your commented instructions don't read well. 2: Sell the Chute replacement caps, so I can convert my old Eddy to a Chute!More colors would help it appeal to a broader audience, but I like mine just fine :) Thanks for making such an awesome product!

Loved it at first. This water bottle came with me to work (sporting goods store where I purchased it) and school, hiking, gym etc. The cap didn't slide into the handle easily like it is advertised but I didn't care. After about 3 months of having this bottle the colored thin piece that is around the rim of the bottle, connected to the drinking spout is completely broken (my bottle is purple so that piece is the orange one). Its too thin, it bends when you use the bottle and therefore the piece eventually breaks. Great design if it lasted longer and worked like it should!

Definitely not leak proof.
By E the Anteater
from Irvine, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about CamelBak Chute™ 1L:
For the first month or so since I had this water bottle, there was no sign of leakage whatsoever. However, in the past few weeks, I've been noticing some leakage when I left it in my backpack. The first few spills were minor and only made some of my notebooks wet so I continued to use it anyways. However, today, it leaked and about 0.50-0.75 L of water came out of it in my backpack and damaged my MacBook Pro. Like the reviewer, tejal, this faulty water bottle costed me ~$1500. And yes, I did check if the lid was tight prior to putting my water bottle into my backpack. I will not be purchasing any water bottle from CamelBak again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Missing the old bottle
By spc1bc
from Boulder, Co
This was a good attempt to improve this popular bottle, but the small spout leaks. I still prefer the previous model without the small spout.

Horrible lid
By tejal
from rochester, NY
This bottle is advertised as a leakproof bottle but it is no where close to leak proof. The bottle leaks like crazy when tilted at an angle and costed me my macbook pro. I wish there was a option to give it no stars.PS. I did check to see if I hadn't shut the bottle cap right. I tried tigthening the cap as much as I can and it still drips. I am never taking this bottle anywhere with me or buying camelbak products again. This bottle COSTED $1200. Never ever buy this bottle please.
Great Water Bottle
By Appalachian State 2018
from Boone, NC
I go to a college where EVERYONE has a Camelbak water bottle. I decided to invest in one. I'm very picky about water bottles, because a lot of them make the water taste like plastic. This one definitely doesn't! The water tastes great. The only problem is that the bottle sweats. A LOT. I have to put a paper towel under it at my desk or else everything will get wet. Overall a great investment!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I dont usually stay hydrated but this bottle have made my enjoy drinking water
By Busy Beaver
from State College, PA
I love this bottle, however it constantly has condensation on it and it gets EVERYTHING wet! I love the design, the spill proof cap, the capacity, everything. If they offered a insulated sleeve I would buy it in a heart beat and I wouldn't have any negatives. The best part about this product is that it holds A LOT of water. I have a Groove and I am constantly filling it, but with this bottle I can fill it up sit through classes and meetings without worrying about emptying my bottle too soon! This product is amazing! Keep it up CamelBak!
Great compliment to the Eddy
By E Dubya Engineer
from San Jose, CA
I bought this a few months ago and it is the water bottle I really wanted. The main draw of the Chute was no straw to have to disassemble for cleaning. This bottle is a breeze to clean. That said, there are a few tradeoffs versus the Eddy. First, you have to raise the bottle and tilt you head back to drink; this was no big deal to me. And second, when you have ice in the bottle, it can partially obstruct the opening; sometimes, I get a disposable straw to deal with this. Otherwise, I love the capacity, ease of use, and the volume markings on this bottle.

Mixed feelings
By Josh
from Columbia ,mo
About Me Avid Adventurer
I love this product, I simply clip it in and go on with my daily adventure. However, I also gave one to my gf as a gift to replace her old bottle. She may have a defective lid but she constantly cross threads the spout and then of course it leaks... It leaks bad. That said it may be her fault or it may not be, but there should be a way to create a cross thread proof spout. That's my only issue other than that love it.
Good Times
By AA-ron
from Salt Lake City, Utah
I liked how easy this bottle is to fill and to drink from. All of the benefits of a wide mouth bottle with the ease of use from a smaller bottle. I like that the lid can be secured to the handle so it is no flopping around. the 1liter size is perfect for both work and home.

A new year of Formula One racing invariably brings with it fresh challenges, exciting new driver talent, revitalised team line-ups, novel engineering innovation and more.
But with one of the biggest regulation shake-ups in F1 history, the 2014 season looks an even more tantalising prospect than usual. However, its about far more than the much-heralded move to ERS-assisted V6 turbo engines
All new line-ups
2014 sees a large number of drivers ditching their old team gear for a different coloured race suit - and a new team mate. The first person that any driver wants to beat is his team mate, and to that end, to say that some of new match-ups are tantalising is an understatement. At Ferrari, returnee Kimi Raikkonen - the Scuderias last world champion - will go up against the man whos yet to win the title in red despite several years of trying, Fernando Alonso.
At Lotus, itll be equally fascinating as Raikkonens seat alongside the improved Romain Grosjean has been taken by the fast but erratic Pastor Maldonado. A couple of garages along at Force India the battle for supremacy will between two drivers who each have plenty to prove after being passed over by bigger teams - Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez.
At Williams, Felipe Massa will measure his speed against highly-rated team mate Valtteri Bottas, whilst at Red Bull four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel will have to see off the challenge of another quick Australian, Daniel Ricciardo. Who will get the upper hand in these new intra-team rivalries? We cant wait to find out.
A new crop of talented rookies
So far we know therell be at least two rookies on the starting grid in Australia in March, both of who come with huge expectations. Not since Lewis Hamilton in 2007 have McLaren handed a rookie a race drive, but thats exactly what theyre doing in 2014 with highly-rated youngster Kevin Magnussen. The fact that theyve chosen the 21-year old to partner former world champion Jenson Button (rather than retain Sergio Perez) speaks volumes for what the team think of the Danes talents. Its something of a risk promoting him in a season when there is likely to be a great deal of technical development, but the Woking-based squad rate his feedback highly despite his minimal F1 testing experience.
The other rookie to keep an eye on is Russian driver Daniil Kvyat. The 19-year-old GP3 champion was a somewhat surprising replacement for Daniel Ricciardo at Toro Rosso, but instantly impressed when he took part in FP1 in both the United States and Brazil at the tail end of 2013. Helmut Marko, the man who oversees Red Bulls junior drivers, firmly believes Kvyat has what it takes to succeed in Formula One racing and expects him to provide team mate Jean-Eric Vergne with a firm challenge.
Big changes to the regulations
The new season brings with it the biggest technical shake-up in years - its in with 1.6-litre V6 turbo engines, new energy recovery systems, and fuel limits, to mention just a few of the changes. All of this can mean only one thing: unpredictability. History shows us that regulation changes have a habit of levelling the playing field, so whilst Red Bull dominated the championship in 2013, whats to say theyll have mastered the 2014 regulations better than anyone else?
Its fair to say that all of the teams have committed more time and resources to their new cars than they would have under normal circumstances and theres every chance that someone could spring a surprise. Pre-season testing will provide some clues as to the formbook, but we wont really know the pecking order until qualifying in Australia. Even then, it will be difficult to predict a race result as its unclear at this point just how much the new regulations will impact on reliability and strategy. One things for sure: its going to be exciting.
Exciting additions to the calendar
The calendar has been given some extra spice in 2014 with the addition of two races in two uniquely spectacular settings. First up, in June, Formula One racing will return to the high mountains and open pastures of Spielberg for the first Austrian Grand Prix since 2003. The circuit has been significantly renovated since then, but the characteristic elevation changes and flowing corners remain.
Then, in October, the sport will branch out into new territory as Sochis dazzling Olympic Park backdrops the inaugural Russian Grand Prix. Not only does the circuit promise to offer something different to any other venue on the calendar, but the race comes at what could well be a crucial time in the championship - round 16 of 19. Either way, itll be essential viewing.
Double points in Abu Dhabi
Whether the championship is on the line or not, theres no doubt that added significance has been given to the final round of the 2014 title race in Abu Dhabi thanks to a new rule which will award drivers and teams double points for that Grand Prix, and that Grand Prix alone. Whether you love or loathe the idea, its impossible to believe that there wont be an additional intensity to the racing at Yas Marina and that can only be a good thing.

A brain that changes itself: Implications of neuroplasticity for coaching psychology
|Nicola Gates
|We can now assume that when therapy or coaching results in experiential change, the brain has, in some way, been altered. This session will provide the latest neuroscience evidence to explore what the implications of such neuroplasticity means for coaches and psychologists.
Whilst there is significant cynicism, some of which is well-founded due to 'abuse' by some practitioners with limited knowledge, there is now substantial scientific evidence in regard to neuropasticity.
Topics include:
1. Introduction to neuroplasticity and brain physiology
2. Implications of neuroplasticity for psychology and coaching practice
3. Optimising the brain health of your clients
Other issues we will consider include:
The importance of informing yourself - research and evidence based practice
Ethics of changing someone's brain & professional standards
Potential new client groups for coaches
Self care - you too can change your brain
So bring along your own questions and prepare for a lively discussion following the presentation!

HTC Sensation launch event highlights (video)
HTC's press event brought a new treat to your senses – the HTC Sensation with dual-core processor and Super LCD screen, but if you've ever wondered how it all looked like in real life, now you can partake in the excitement of yesterday's London announcement.
The Sensation is the latest flagship by HTC and sports an all-new version of Sense UI supporting various dynamically updated widgets straight from the lockscreen. The phone comes with what looks like a very capable 8MP snapper with dual-LED flash featuring instant capture, which translates into nearly instanteneous shots. The handset is to hit shelves as soon as May in Europe, while in the States it is set to arrive in the summer months on T-Mobile. For everything rest we have a full hands-on here, but you'll have to check out the video below to get a sense of the atmosphere in London.

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin
By Jon Solomon
With the new EP Arroyo, Mariposa has delivered an emotionally mature record with rich, expansive instrumentation. Although previous releases contained a great deal of sensitivity and beauty, those elements were locked away inside a fragile song structure. Now performing with a few new musicians, Madeline Johnston has blossomed, and her songs have taken on a more accessible form, carrying more energy while maintaining a quiet desperation that evokes the feeling of trying to crawl out of a deep sleep. "Oil Spills" is reminiscent of Joanna Newsom's "Sprout and the Bean" (without the elfish singing), while "Wash" could almost be mistaken for a Norah Jones track — albeit darker and more melancholic than anything the family-friendly Jones would do. On "We Carry a Weight," there's an undertow of anxiety to the music, with a Japanese-style instrumental toward the end that doesn't rescue listeners from sadness, but rather reminds them how beautiful sadness can be.

Meaning & Origins
A 17th-century literary coinage from the Latin gerundive (feminine) amanda 'lovable, fit to be loved', from amare 'to love'. This is evidently modelled on Miranda; the masculine form Amandus, borne by various saints from the 4th to the 7th century, seems not to have been the direct source of the feminine form. The girl's name enjoyed considerable popularity in the mid-20th century.

Pigeons are related to Middle East racing birds.
|Science Recorder Pro
|Free trial. No ads. Exclusive interviews. Access to all articles. Just $4.99/yr. Subscribe
A recent study has found that most modern day pigeons have descended from racing birds in the Middle East that escaped captivity. The research, which was recently published in the journal Science, was conducted using extensive DNA studies of the rock pigeon, which much of the world just calls "pigeon."
In comparison to mammals and fish, little research has been done in regards to the genetic make-up of bird species. Despite this, Michael Shapiro, a principal author on the research and an assistant professor of biology at the University of Utah, believes learning more about birds through genetic studies is very important.

can't write to windows partition
Why I can't write on the Windows partition with the LiveCD??
Thank you very much!!!!
- 10-11-2011 #2
It looks like LiveCD is not using ntfs-3g while mounting NTFS Partition. Other reason could be root privileges.
Have you tried to write in NTFS partition as root user? In case it doesn't work, gain root privileges through sudo or su and try to mount sda1 again.
sudo umount /dev/sda1 sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o defaults,umask=0It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Arriving visitors just need to pick up a brochure and a user card at the tourist information center in the immigration section of the Tocumen International Airport (we certainly hope they expand this program to cover travelers arriving overland like us).
Travelers who need emergency medical care due to an accident in Panama or due to a disease contracted in Panama just present their user card and a passport at any health center to receive free care and coverage that includes accidental death, hospitalization, medical expenses, dental emergency expenses, administrative legal assistance and lost or stolen documents fees. Incredibly, the cost of your medically-related hotel stay (up to 10 days) is also covered as are prescriptions.
In case of death, the program will cover repatriation of the body to the country of origin. Even translation services in English, Portuguese and French are covered.
Quite reasonably, Panama is NOT covering problems caused by negligence, related to alcohol and drugs, or resulting from participation in extreme sports.
The policies will be issued by Assicurazioni Generali and you can get more information here.
Our Trans-Americas Journey should be entering Panama later this year and we look forward to not needing (but totally appreciating) this innovative new traveler emergency safety net.

American lamb is tender, delicious and available year-round.
American lamb is up to 10,000 miles fresher than imported lamb.
Lamb is an excellent source of protein, vitamin B12, niacin zinc and selenium.
On average, a 3-ounce serving of lamb has only 175 calories.
American Lamb's rich flavor doesn't need a lot of seasoning....rub your lamb with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
You should try not to cut into lamb to check doneness - it releases the juices leaving the lamb dried out. Use a good meat thermometer instead.


text: Small teams worried that 2014 engine will be too expensive 30 May, 2012 May 30 (GMM) Formula One's engine customer teams are concerned that the price of power is set to skyrocket. According to Auto Motor und Sport, teams like Force India and Sauber currently pay around $12 million for their engine plus KERS packages. That is reportedly set to increase to about $22 million when the turbo V6s debut in 2014. "That is clearly too much," Sauber co-owner Monisha Kaltenborn is quoted as saying. The magazine said Williams, Caterham, Toro Rosso, HRT and Marussia all agree, and have asked the FIA to impose a cost-cap for their 2014 packages. "We have to ensure that, looking back ten years ago, we don't go back to a point where engines were so much more expensive," she added. Subbed by AJN. Tweet Stewy33 Why don't we go back to V-10 engines, the R&D is already done. Whippet Good Great point Stewy. Not only is the development work done, they sounded awesome! I'm going to miss the sound of 18000 rpm when they switch to the v-6. McLaren Fan @Stewy the problem that we have was Max has spoken so they agreed. The V10 would be awesome combined with the technology we have now, they could challenge the boffins to make them cheaper to run. they could give them some more limits or change the fuel to some swamp gas or pig sh!t. they could give them other challenges but they will more than likely tell them 2016 1.1ltr with 3 pots. Kimi4WC @McLarenFan, and the funny part is, that 1.1L 3-pot will be as fast, not sure about sound though McLaren Fan @ Kimi4WC Fiat might try to supply 600cc twin from the Fiat 126 Radio Station Online It's an amazing post for all the web users; they will obtain advantage from it I am sure.

A Delta tie-in / make-over of an older attraction, much to the annoyance of If You Had Wings fans...
If I remember correctly, Dreamflight was about the history of flight, part of it took you inside a plane and the part in buzz lightyear with the revolving lights was like the jet engine you go into. When you are going thru that tunnel shaped screen, I can't remember what is on it in Buzz, but in DF it looked like a runway and you were "taking off". Kinda boring, but it was a good place to relax b/c there was never a line.
~Selena :chesh:
I really liked Dreamflight. It had cool music and is was relaxing. I like Buzz too, but Dreamflight was fun for the short time it was there. I don't ever remember going on If You Had Wings.
I remeber one part in Delta Dreaflight where you were going into the tunnel and it always had the smell of hot garbage... pretty gross but a nice ride all the same!!!
:hurray: No way, I always get a high scoore on Buzz!! :hurray:
I liked the Delta Dreamflight a lot. :yes: It was a nice, relaxing ride so I wouldn't mind it coming back to replace Buzz. Besides, I never score many points on Buzz; guns just aren't my thing. :lol:
Ok, I was never around for Delta Dreamflight and I may or may have not gone on If You Had Wings (I am only 16 BTW and started going to WDW at 1), but I have to say Sorin' is amazing...the smells, feeling of flight, BEING LIFTED OFF THE GROUND!!! Plus the music...I am listening to it right now...it sounds great.
I agree that Soarin' is the coolest thing there right now! I LOVE that music.
However, even though I love Buzz, I must admit to missing the almighty **** out of "If You Had Wings." I loved the song, I loved the "movie tunnel" at the end, and don't forget "You DO have wings. You CAN do all these things. You can brighten your world. Eastern...we'll be your wings." Poor old Eastern Airlines. We hardly knew ye.
I found the best site on "If You Had Wings." Here it is...enjoy your journey.
If you had wings...

MIDWAY, Utah – It was a frigid morning on the trails of Soldier Hollow for the women's 10km freestyle race at the 2013 U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships. After two grueling laps around a challenging course on slow snow it was the APU squad that gathered on all steps of the podium. Here is a look at some of the action.

ad.ly is a relatively new, well-funded startup that puts ads "in-stream" on twitter, and is supposedly expanding to Facebook, MySpace, etc. Such expansion may be wise in the wake of Twitter's TOS changes, but that's another story.
This story is about what happened when I tried to spend money on ad.ly. In a nutshell:
- Downloading the full list of top influential twitter users from trst.me (~22K users).
- Hacking ad.ly's URLs and then downloading a big list of people you can advertise with.
- Cross checking with the trst.me list to only keep top influencers.
- Cross checking that output with the twitter API to only keep people recently retweeted.
- Taking that subset and downloading ad.ly info including price, followers, & avg tweets.
- Filter out people > 10 tweets/day and then sort by price/follower count.
- Fun: try this new search engine for a week http://duckduckgo.com/ PLZ RT! (Ad)
- New search engine http://duckduckgo.com/ PLZ RT! (Ad)
- Check out Duck Duck Go, a cool new search engine http://duckduckgo.com/ PLZ RT (Ad).

Recently I spoke at Dreamit Ventures on SEO. I used Manu Kumar's #20tweets presentation format where I opened twenty tweets in twenty tabs and clicked them off as I went. The talk was recorded by Vijay Kailas from Numote.
The point of the talk was two-fold. First, I wanted to convince the Dreamit startups (and you!) that SEO is not only worthwhile, but is a traction vertical that all startups should consider seriously in the pursuit of traction. Second, I wanted to lay out a an actionable startup SEO strategy that all startups can follow.
- Startups should have an SEO strategy and spend significant time tracking, evaluating & tweaking it. 5 reasons to follow.
- Reason #1 to do SEO: HQ traffic. 88% of Google clicks are organic search (via @randfish). They're looking for stuff!
- Reason #2 to do SEO: edge. 2009 US spend on search ads, $18B; on SEO, $1.5B (via @randfish).
- Reason #3 to do SEO: precedent. It's worked for @yelp@aboutdotcom @scribd @slideshare @docstoc @nytimes@linkedin
- Reason #4 to do SEO: intl users. Just 22% of search traffic is US (via @comscore). Intl can make you an acquisition target.
- Reason #5 to do SEO: you can do it. It's not black magic. It's really just generating content and building links.
- SEO fact #1: ranking/click % drop-off is huge, ~40% for #1, 12% #2, 8% #3, >=10 (second page) just 10% (via @aol).
- SEO fact #2: top 10K keywords get ~18% (via @experian). top 1M ~(very rough)~50% (via @duckduckgo). 50% "long-tail"
- SEO fact #3: "20 to 25% of the queries we see today, we have never seen before" (via @google)
- SEO fact #4: conversion rates are much higher in the long-tail bc intent is less ambiguous (via @oneupweb).
- SEO how-to #1: you really need two SEO strategies, one for the fat-head and one for the long-tail.
- SEO how-to #2: what unique data can your business generate? That's the content basis for your long-tail SEO strategy.
- SEO how-to #3: make pages people want to link to naturally, e.g. for reputation, posts, resources, answers, stats.
- SEO how-to #4: help/nudge people link to you, e.g. URL shorteners, widgets, copy/paste, JS, customer emails, etc.
- SEO how-to #5: continually triple check your site for basic issues, e.g. robots.txt, URLs, redirects, duplicate content.
- SEO tip #1: anchor text still matters a lot, which can work wonders within your fat-head strategy.
- SEO tip #2: for your long-tail strategy, you want as flat a hierarchy as possible, and/or deep links.
- SEO tip #3: focus on pages that convert for your business. Traffic is a means to an end.
- SEO tip #4: avoid anything black hat, e.g. buying links. It's not worth the risk of getting blacklisted.

The other day I had the pleasure of being on Mixergy with Andrew Warner, which is a popular video interview series about startups and business tips. There is also an audio version.
The interview is mainly about my last (second) company, Opobox, but it also includes (in the latter half) some q/a about DuckDuckGo and my blog.
It's about an hour, and yet I just really scratched the surface of a number of topics, and realize I left a number of other topics not completely explained. So if you have any follow-up or other questions, feel free to ask them on HN, in the comments below, by email or on formspring.
Most entrepreneurs don't do it for the financial reward alone, but it's generally a primary goal in the life cycle. And yet I think many entrepreneurs, especially first-timers, don't pay close enough attention to the impact various decisions have on their personal financial outcomes.
Let's put some #s on it. Suppose you want to end up with $5M (gross). Let's say for the moment, after all is said and done, the initial founders end up with 30%. If you have two co-founders (3 people) you'd need a $50M sale to end up with $5M, as you'd get 10% of it personally. With one co-founder, you'd need a $33M sale and with no co-founders, a $17M sale.Everyone obsesses with dilution from investors. The biggest dilution comes from co-founders. If you have 2 co-founders, you've diluted 66% before doing any of the hard work. Start by yourself and bring in co-founders for smaller stakes once you've got initial momentum. Unconventional wisdom, but the most economically practical advice you'll ever get.
- Lots of companies won't need VC. Chris Dixon recently wrote about how old VC firms should get ready to get disrupted. That was painfully obvious at both these events.
At Techstars, every single company was raising a small angel round. Not one company pitched for a Series A and yet a decent portion of the room seemed like VCs. This could have been due to a lot of reasons (advice, selection by TS, etc.), but bottom-line everyone felt it was in the interest of the companies to pitch this way.
Technology and customer acquisition are now cheap. $200K can get you a lot of validation. But interestingly, because validation is cheap, if it works, the companies may not need to raise more because they'll be instantly profitable. And if they do need to raise more, the valuations will be good.
I felt validated in my strategy to look for companies that, if everything goes as planned, may not need VC money at all.
- I need to do more deals. I was already planning on doing more deals, but this need was reinforced. There are two main reasons. First, the simulations show you need to do about twenty deals to guarantee some return given a reasonable distribution of hits. Second, deals create deal flow, and deal flow creates returns. By doing deals your network grows, and in turn, your deal flow.
- I should invest in hackers. I'm a hacker and I believe I understand the hacker mentality pretty well. I want to invest in people I trust, understand, and most importantly that I personally want to spend a lot of time working with. Basically, I want to invest in people like me :). It's become clear that doing so will both increase returns and increase satisfaction in my angel investing.
- I need to get plugged in more to the community. I suck at "networking." Like most people, I'm known in some circles, and completely unknown in others. I'd like to be more known in the angel investing community, and should find ways to make that happen.
- Philly needs work. Boston kept comparing itself to Silicon Valley. Philly is well behind Boston. It's clear that some local super angels would help. Boston seems to have a few.

College football pre-season rankings – #15 Ole Miss
Rounding out the top 15 is the Ole Miss Rebels, which may surprise some but, rest assured, things in Oxford are getting better each day.
Last season the Rebels struggled through an extremely tough SEC, but in 2013 Ole Miss could be among those top teams.
According to Nationalchamps.net, nine offensive starters will return, which could be a force to be reckoned with this season. Quarterback Bo Wallace is in his junior year in Oxford and should be fun to watch with nearly the entire offensive line returning along with all of his receivers.
Offense could be one of the Rebels many strengths this season and will have the depth to compete with the best each week in and out of the SEC.
On paper Ole Miss also appears to be among the top of the defensive lists as well, returning all eleven from 2012.
Among these will be Robert Nkemdiche who is being touted as another possible candidate for the best defensive players in the country. The freshman is even drawing comparisons to South Carolinas Jadeveon Clowney.
With all the starters returning to the team in 2013 on defense and an experienced offensive ready for another year in the SEC, Ole Miss could be headed to the top of the national polls by the end of the season.
Another positive note for Ole Miss is the recruiting process, which, according to Yahoo Sports, is currently sitting within the top 10. Only 3 SEC teams sit in front of the Rebels giving fans even more to be excited about in the future.
A tough schedule awaits the Ole Miss Rebels. However, don't be surprised if we see this team have a breakout season and become one of the elite in the SEC.

Effortless English Point Of View GrammarPowerful English Lessons > Effortless English > Effortless English Point Of View Grammar
Filed under: Effortless English
I already mentioned point of view stories when i posted Effortless English rules. AJ Hoge told us do not study grammar in the 2. rule. Most of us surprised and asked "but how will I learn English grammar?" Well this time AJ Hoge told us about it in the 5. rule. It is the point of view grammar lessons.
In this post, I will share a free sample of the point of view stories. You will download it from the link at bottom of this article. But first I want you to watch below video to learn much about point of view stories in the Effortless English system.
Hello, this is AJ Hoge from Effortless English Club. Today we will talk about grammar. How to learn grammar with listening and stories. We use special stories to teach English grammar naturally. You need to use grammar correctly and instantly.
There is not time to think about grammar during real conversations. American children for example, do not study grammar rules. They learn grammar naturally through listening. To speak English correctly, you must learn grammar through listening too.
Effortless English use point of view stories to help you master English grammar. We tell you a story using simple English grammar. For example, we might tell a story in the simple past. Next, we tell you the same story using another time view.
For example we might tell the same story in the present. Then we tell it again in yet another view point. You already understand the vocabulary. So you easily notice the grammar changes. You learn the English grammar simply by listening to the different story versions.
You learn the grammar in context that it's connected to something in story. The grammar is connected to the story so you remember it. You learn meaningful grammar not just "rules".
In Effortless English point of view stories we repeat the most common grammar many times. You hear it again and again. You learn English grammar deeply and unconsciously. Eventually, you use English grammar correctly and automatically.
This is the fastest and most powerful way to learn English grammar. Listen to the point of view lessons every day. Truly master spoken English grammar. Get more point of view stories, mini stories and all of our lessons at effortlessenglishclub.com In my previous lesson, I have talk about Effortless English, Listening practice and learning English.
