Wider than the average deck, this board is designed to be ridden 3-4cm shorter than the typical board and the brand new DT2 technology will make sure that it will never hook an edge.

Gus Poyet is happy with his role at Tottenham as Juande Ramos' translator.
"Juande will be very happy to have me as a translator, but I've been coaching for 15 months already," he said. "I know the club very well. I was an admirer of Seville last year and tried to go there twice with Dennis to observe them. I'm the right person to be sat next to Juande. I know there will be rumours, as you love rumours, but I'm not bothered."
The former Uruguay captain claims to have identified the problems that have restricted Tottenham to one league win in 11 matches this season, but compared with the situation he found on arriving at Leeds 12 months ago, he is quietly optimistic.
"We have our opinion about what is missing and we have to turn it around as soon as possible," Poyet said. "The ingredients are there, that's the key. It's a big difference with Leeds, which was very difficult. There are no big issues at the club about getting training and turning results around. Juande has proved himself at Seville and he can do it again here."
Poyet must also prove himself, though he is keeping good company as Jose Mourinho also began his career as an interpreter.

The idea that we get dumber as we grow older is just a myth, according to brain research that will encourage anyone old enough to know better.
Conventional wisdom has it that we reach our mental peak in our mid-twenties and that it's all downhill from there. Even if you avoid degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, you'll find it harder to remember people's names.
It's a pattern that dates back at least as far as the ancient Greeks. Eos, the Goddess of Dawn, asked Zeus to grant her lover, Tithonus, immortality, but forgot to include eternal youth in her request, thus condemning him to endless physical and mental decay.
"The Tithonean account of aging echoes loudly in the literature of the psychological and brain-sciences," says Michael Ramscar, a linguist at the University of Tubingen, Germany, in an article for Topics in Cognitive Science.
Adulthood is portrayed "as a protracted episode in mental decline, in which memories dim, thoughts slow, and problem-solving abilities diminish."
But the tests that seemed to support this thesis were biased in favour of the young, say Ramscar and his colleagues. "Many of the assumptions scientists currently make about 'cognitive decline' are seriously flawed and, for the most part, formally invalid."
So flawed, explains Ramscar in his blog, that in a meta-analysis of 134 studies some of the alleged effects depend less on the age of the subjects, than on the size of the sample.
In a commentary on the paper by Ramscar's team, Wayne Gray, executive editor of Topics, and Thomas Hills of the University of Basel compared the situation to a pair of jugglers. The younger one can keep three balls in the air, 95 per cent of the time. The older one has five balls airborne, but drops one in 10 per cent of the trials. Which is more accomplished? It depends on how you ask the question.
What happens to our brains as we age is of crucial importance not just to science but to public policy. By 2030, for example, 72 million people in the US will be over 65, double the figure in 2000, and their average life expectancy will likely have edged above 20 years.
However, this demographic time-bomb would be much less threatening if the elderly were looked upon as intelligent contributors to society rather than as dependents in long-term decline.
"It is time we rethink what we mean by the aging mind," say Gray and Hills, "before our false assumptions result in decisions and policies that marginalize the old or waste precious public resources to remediate problems that do not exist."
Data from psychometric tests show that the speed at which the mind handles knowledge increases from infancy to young adulthood and then declines steadily. This slowing has been widely seen as a sign of mental decline. Yet people of any age who practice something get better at it.

There are about five months left until all localities are required to adopt and implement an "action plan" to comply with state and federal laws to manage stormwater, and Hanover County's plan is on its way to full execution.
"We submitted the first draft of our program in January," said Mike Flagg, director of public works.
Feb. 12, the board of supervisors approved three related ordinances that apply to new development, Flagg said. They are a part of the action plan.
Flagg said the rules create standards that the county can use to make sure builders and developers are practicing environmentally friendly stormwater management practices such as silt fences on construction sites to prevent erosion as well as post-construction practices such as bio filters.
The public works department received feedback from the state water control board after the first draft of the county's program was submitted, which Flagg said would be re-submitted in May and he believes should be approved.
Flagg said they keep sending drafts to the state to ensure all elements of the program comply with the state's mandates, so that the approval process will be easier.
Another ordinance the board approved contains the county's drainage design handbook. The county is asking for the state to approve an amendment to the handbook, to allow Hanover to change the permissible velocity, or how they look at streams and how erosion is evaluated in natural water channels, Flagg said.
He said it is possible the state might allow it, but if there are any issues with the amendment, another public hearing will be held.
According to Flagg, the aforementioned adopted rules did not receive any pushback or complaints at the Feb. 12 board of supervisors' public hearing.
Now the state must approve the program and Flagg does not foresee it getting denied.
"By and large our policies mimic the state requirements," he said.

I got a great deal on the 36 inch Thermador induction top but.....the delivery guys broke the top. The store is offering to replace the glass since it was a showroom unit, they don't have a replacement to offer me as a whole unit. Should this be fine? Or should I refuse to keep it and wait for another really good deal. I got it for 2K and it runs $3600 or so. |

I'd make sure it was still covered by the same warranty and all that just like a new one and if so, let 'em do it. Get rid of all those showroom fingerprints! But if you have a lot of time and think you can get another screamin' good deal....nothing wrong with waiting. |
I will have to ask about the warranty. This is the best de I have found and the only way to work Thermador into my budget. I was able to upgrade from GE to Thermador and Bosch for of the major pieces of the kitchen while keeping budget the same. I hope they do a good job. |
Reason for asking about warranty is similar logic to Fori's above. If the unit was damaged in transit it may not be merely the top that cracked. Other damage might not be apparent until you have it installed. If the warranty is good enough, you could let them install it and if there is additional damage it'll be covered. Then you'll have an upgraded unit that is basically new inside and out. However, if the warranty is not good, accepting the damaged unit may be asking for trouble. |

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Peanut butter and fruit spreads maker J.M. Smucker (SJM - Get Report) was tumbling on Friday after depressed sales caused it to cut full-year guidance.
By midafternoon, shares had taken off 4% to $91.38. Trading volume of 3.5 million was more than three times its three-month daily average.
In the three months to January, the company reported revenue 6% lower than a year ago to $1.47 billion. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected sales of $1.53 billion.
Third-quarter net income of 66 cents a share fell short of consensus by 2 cents.
Net sales were lower primarily due to the impact of a 6% reduction in net price realization, a result of price declines on coffee and peanut butter since the beginning of the year-ago quarter. By segment, U.S. retail coffee dropped 8% to $578.9 million, U.S. retail consumer foods decreased 4% to $557.8 million, and international sales fell 6% to $328.8 million. "We continue to navigate through a challenging operating environment. This journey is supported by our leading market position with strong and healthy brands," said CEO Richard Smucker in a statement. The Orrville, Ohio-based business now sees revenue for the full year ending April declining 5% to total sales of around $5.6 billion. Analysts had expected full-year sales of $5.78 billion. Per-share earnings guidance was downwardly revised to between $5.55 and $5.60 from $5.72 to $5.82. Analysts had forecast net income of $5.78 a share. "While we expect our fourth quarter earnings to be down compared to a strong quarter last year, we want to reiterate that our business fundamentals remain sound and our prospects for ongoing earnings growth continue," added Smucker.

The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SMUCKER (JM) CO (SJM) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its growth in earnings per share, reasonable valuation levels, expanding profit margins, increase in net income and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: SJM Ratings Report
