UPDATE: The Delta module is now working for D7!!!! Usage of Delta requires the 7.x-2.x version of Omega as your base theme, and Context.
Delta allows you, via Context to make duplicates of your Omega theme settings for any context on your site. This gives you the ability for alternative layouts as a reaction in Context... </awesomesauce>
The Update Status module checks with drupal.org once a day to see if there are new officially released versions of Drupal and any modules that you are running. It requires cron to do its thing, so make sure that you have cron correctly enabled or it won't be able to know. Update status is now part of Drupal core starting in Drupal 6.
Q. Why doesn't Update Status show all of my installed modules?
This module is a little helper to maintain an administrator role which has all
available permissions. By default, Drupal only has one super user and this
module helps improve this drastically.
Excellent tutorial provided by compujohnny:
This module adds a tab for sufficiently permissioned users. The tab shows all revisions like standard Drupal but it also allows pretty viewing of all added/changed/deleted words between revisions.
The features module enables the capture and management of features in Drupal. A feature is a collection of Drupal entities which taken together satisfy a certain use-case.
Features provides a UI and API for taking different site building components from modules with exportables and bundling them together in a single feature module. A feature module is like any other Drupal module except that it declares its components (e.g. views, contexts, CCK fields, etc.) in its .info
file so that it can be checked, updated, or reverted programmatically.
Transform any of your taxonomy vocabularies into menus easily!
#D7CX: I pledge that the Taxonomy Manager will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.
This module provides a powerful interface for managing taxonomies. A vocabulary gets displayed in a dynamic tree view, where parent terms can be expanded to list their nested child terms or can be collapsed.
The Taxonomy Manager has following operations and key features:
We are currently focusing all our efforts on the 2.x branch of Admin. However, we understand that there are many sites that will continue to use the 1.x branch and need bug fixes, features, and further releases.
If you are interested in being a branch maintainer for Admin 1.x, please contact Young Hahn.
This module augments Views by allowing bulk operations to be executed on the nodes displayed by a view. It does so by showing a checkbox in front of each node, and adding a select box containing operations that can be applied on the selected nodes.
The word "title" is a bit overloaded. Every piece of content in Drupal has a title, and so does every page. The page title is the one found in the HTML head inside the <title> tag. It is also used on SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) and can greatly enhance your websites SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
This module gives you granular control over the page title. You can specify patterns for how the title should be structured and, on content creation pages, specify the page title separately to the content's title.

PHOENIX -- The mother of the 4-year-old girl who died as the result of alleged child abuse pleaded not guilty in court Tuesday morning.
Ashley Buckman and her live-in boyfriend, James Edwards, are facing a variety of charges, including murder and child abuse, in the wake of Toryn Buckman's death. Both were in court Tuesday morning. Edwards entered a plea of not guilty, as well.
The little girl was hospitalized on May 30 after paramedics were called to her home because she wasn't breathing.
"When the fire department got there, they immediately recognized that this child who was not breathing at the time was actually the victim of child abuse," Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said after officers arrested Buckman and Edwards.
Toryn died the next day.
Between comments Buckman and Edwards made to detectives when they were interviewed and the injuries to the girl doctors observed, police believe Toryn was the victim of ongoing abuse.
They say Buckman, 22, beat her little daughter on multiple occasions, the last of which allegedly happened two days before her death. They also believe Edwards, also 22, intentionally scalded her with hot water in the bathtub.
But the alleged abuse did not end there.
"There were injuries basically head to foot," Thompson said. Toryn had a number of abrasions and bruises, as well as whip marks made by a clothes hanger and apparent scald marks on her lower body. Detectives are calling this one of the most egregious instances of child abuse they have ever seen.
"These are detectives who have 25 years of experience with the department, have been working homicide for a long time," Thompson said.
While Edwards was not Toryn's father, he and Buckman have a 1-year-old child together. That child is now in the custody of Child Protective Services. Thompson said there did not appear to be any abuse involving the 1-year-old.
Although a judge set bond for Buckman and Edwards at their initial court appearances earlier this month, both remain in jail. She is being held at Estrella Jail; he is at Lower Buckeye Jail.

So a question for all of you self-defense veterans.
I just started to carry July 14 and am very happy with my decision.
As of now I work in security, as a bouncer, working on moving towards LE or similar work.
Anyway back to the question:
In which of the following situations would disparity of force be against me, as in which cases am I clearly disadvantaged?
Hold these facts in your head, while I have been bouncing for years, I am a certified security guard so a little required "training" precedes me.
More so I am 6'5" 340 lbs on a good day.
Say a guy my size was beating on a small woman, disparity of force would be in her favor therefore making her justified in the use of deadly physical force. (dff)
However if a small woman wants to beat on me I just have to stick it out.
However if said woman (or to avoid stigma) a small man (which most tend to be) wants to fight me with a weapon at which point is the disparity of force in my favor?
Do I still have to try to act only defensively if he/she picks up a "stick" intending to use blunt force, or a knife?
I don't know if I phrased my question so it could be understood so any clarification needed please feel free to ask.
I appreciate the advice in advance.

Poyet praise for Taricco
Brighton boss Gus Poyet has saluted the role played by assistant Mauricio Taricco in the club`s return to winning form.The 37-year-old Argentinian has been required to step into the right-back berth over the last three games following Inigo Calderon`s suspension for his red card in Albion`s 1-1 draw with Charlton in the club`s last game of 2010.But Taricco has done more than just fill the void, he has rolled back the years to help inspire a three-match winning streak on the back of just one victory in the club`s previous nine as Poyet`s side have overcome a sticky spell.As Calderon prepares to return for Saturday`s home clash against managerless Peterborough, Poyet hailed his right-hand man and told The Argus: "He was outstanding again. He put four or five balls in that were different class for free headers."That is Tano, I had no doubts about him. When people said you need a full-back to cover Marcos (Painter) and Caldy it had to be someone very special to play ahead of Mauricio, because I know how he is."You can imagine, he is absolutely destroyed after playing three games, so I think he needs a rest. But he will be there to help us if we need him. Even if it is in the last game or most important game of the season he will give you absolute quality."

Abandoned Love: How The Nuclear Men Became the Nuclear Man
Every week, we will be examining comic book stories, plots and ideas that were abandoned by a later writer while still acknowledging that the abandoned story DID still happen. Click here for an archive of all the previous editions of Abandoned Love. Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any suggestions for future editions of this feature.
This time around we'll take a look at the abrupt change in direction DC went in with Fury of Firestorm last year.
Into the back issue box #48
You know, I've been experimenting with putting some covers above the break, just to entice you to keep reading, but this entrant into our series is so godawful, so terrible, so horrifyingly eye-gouging, that I must keep you in suspense as long as I can. If you thought writing 2000 words about Firestar was excessive, I'd think twice about reading this, as I'll probably double that writing about how bad this comic is. But hey! that's part of the fun, isn't it? So don't click that "Continue Reading" link unless you've prepared yourself mentally and physically. I suggest re-reading V for Vendetta really quickly before you read further. That should help.

colorblind showcased its collection on the third day of Cambodia Fashion Week. Designed by Jean-Benoît Lasselin, the range comes in various colors such as sky blue, orange, and purple. Here is an interview I did with him and a shoot featuring some pieces from his collection.
Hi. Can you tell us a little about yourself. Are you Cambodian?
I'm French with Asian roots as my grand-mother is Vietnamese. I've grew-up surrounded by this influence. Asia is a part of me.
How did colorblind start?
It's been 3 years that I live in Cambodia. I was spending a lot of my free time and money at the tailor to make myself suits and shirts. Many of my friends really liked my outfits and wanted me to create for them. After introducing an outfit during a fashion show in Phnom Penh for the F Magazine, many people were interested in buying suits from me. I had this brand idea running in my head already. Today it's not an idea anymore, it's a Cambodian brand.
I learned that it was your first time to showcase a collection, how was the reception, so far?
Yes it is, and both the public and fashion professionals are really receptive on this first collection. It gives me a lot of hope for the future of colorblind.
Congratulations! Kindly describe the collection.
This collection is called "introducing colorblind", as it is my first collection. I have to feel the fabric and the color first to understand how I'm going to transform it. I work mainly on linen and cotton.
By the way, you said last night at the fashion exhibition that you, yourself is color blind. How do you deal with clients, in terms of colors?
Some client have a requirement, others give me a free hand. The colors are a part of my brand, I just don't see what my clients see, and that's why they come to me when they need something different.
How do you envision colorblind to progress in the coming years?
My goal is to be one the best Cambodian brand. I want people to think about colorblind when they want to get a quality suit. I'm also thinking about exporting my products in a few years. I would be very proud of that as everything is produced in Cambodia.
Lastly, with your bespoke designs, what do you intend to bring to the Cambodian men?
A 100% made in Cambodia well-cut stylish creation.

Property Section
The major areas of responsibility in property and evidence are tracking all property that comes into the division, keeping a fleet of 26 Division vehicles in working order, as well as tracking the maintenance records and invoices from the businesses that repair the vehicles. Occasionally the property officer is called upon to transport a prisoner for the Bowling Green Municipal Court or from other jurisdictions on warrants issued on behalf of the Police Division.
One of the most important responsibilities in the property room is the tracking of evidence/property from the time the article is submitted until its final disposition. On any given day there are about 5000 articles in property. Most items are classified as evidence (about 90%) and the rest as found property (about 10%).
Evidence is maintained until the conclusion of the case, if an arrest is made, or until the case is deemed unsolvable. Ohio's Statute dictates that found property is kept for at least 90 days if the legitimate owner has not claimed the property. After 90 days, if the property is not contraband, then the finder becomes the legitimate owner and the property must be released if he/she lays claim.

Since I'm so beyond proud and excited about Henry making his first real drawing with sidewalk chalk, I'm going to keep celebrating it with some drawings I found on It's Playtime last week.
A few ways to get the kids excited to draw and even write stories! I love these ideas from these creative bloggers!
[above, clockwise from top-left]
- Draw yourself as your favorite character, like Crystal & Co. did for Diary of a Whimpy Kid.
- Cheerios & Lattes has a "Play to Write, Write to Read" series on the beginning stages of writing. Love her ideas!
- Copy a drawing by describing it in words, without seeing it, from NurtureStore. Can you do it?
- Draw pictures of what they observe. Happy Little Messes makes copies and use them for coloring!
It's Playtime is a community for play loving bloggers to share ways to play.
Check out what the rest of the playtime crew featured this week: The Imagination Tree, Messy Kids, Quirky Momma, Let the Children Play.
New to It's Playtime? Read How to Play to get all the details. Basically, share your play ideas at the party below and browse for more play ideas from others!

Another hello to you TweakTown readers - here's a round-up of the latest goings on from us at TechEye.
Scientists at the University of California Santa Barbara are a step closer to creating a quantum chip and making it something useful. They think they have figured out a complex part of the design - where the researchers have worked out a way to keep qubits in a useful, stable state. While the results were good, the quCPU needs to be by absolute zero which means it'll be some time before the world sees full quantum computing.
Rick Bergman, formerly at AMD following the ATI buy, has gone on to pastures new. Now he's gone on to become CEO of Synaptics. Synaptics works with interfaces in mobile computing and communications. Bergman's track record at AMD is, according to the Synaptics board, why he's a good fit.
There has been tons going on over at HP. Since Whitman joined, Apotheker's 11-month reign has been brought into question further. On the hardware front, HP claims it will fast track its decision on the confused PC business. Perhaps the Personal Systems Group will be a spin-off, but there are murmurs from HP and other sources that there's hardware to come. Ann Livermore says there will be another tablet from the company. With webOS out of the window, there's speculation it will be a Windows 8 device. Meanwhile, HP is tipped to have an Ultrabook device coming along sooner rather than later. In an apparent u-turn, Apotheker's shock efforts to turn it into SAP, it seems his vision for HP could become naught.
Our editor in chief, Mike Magee, caught a flight to the White Bull conference in Spain. There, he heard about a ton of start-ups list their pitches, among them Birthday Slam which plans to cut birthday suicides. Meanwhile, venture capitalists have outlined ways to get ahead with funding in Europe and that the scene is far from dead. Honest. Qualcomm, ZAG and SAP all pitched in. Google also had its say. You can still make money, really, they promise.
Taiwan's HTC was hit this week by claims of a severe vulnerability within its ranks. It took a while, but HTC finally admitted the catastrophe and said it's working on a fix. The problem is, the statement didn't tell us when. Critics suggest the problem is with HTC's insistence on logging all your data anyway.
A special mention goes to Apple's iPhone launch yesterday. It wasn't an iPhone 5. It was a fixed iPhone 4. The crowd went wild. But we think it's a lemon.
Finally, here's a bible reading. Ye Booke of Ah-Em-De - And the LORD did cause the board of Ah-Em-De to row. That's all for now - read this and more at TechEYE.

Bossier City, LA (KMSS) — Bossier Sheriff Julian Whittington will hold a 4th of July "In God We Trust" rally Thursday, from 1-4 p.m., at the Bossier Sheriff's Office Viking Drive Substation at 2510 Viking Drive in Bossier City to show support for the national motto.
Sheriff Whittington has taken a stand against the federal government for denying the Sheriff's Office federal grant funding for the youth programs, Young Marines and Youth Diversion, because of the mention of God and voluntary prayer in the programs.
"I will not compromise and have made it clear that I will not remove God or voluntary prayer from either program," he said.
Everyone is invited to join Sheriff Whittington and other public officials to sign a large banner provided by Louisiana Representative Jeff Thompson to show their support for "In God We Trust." There will be a radio broadcast at the rally, and American flags will be available to show your patriotism. There will be plenty of parking, along with hot dogs and drinks for all.
"We are holding the 4th of July "In God We Trust" rally because this issue is about as close to home as it gets, and enough is enough," said Sheriff Whittington. "It's a direct attempt to try to influence what we do right here at home, and we want to send a message to Washington, D.C….this is a wake-up call, and it's our time to stand and say, 'In God We Trust'."
A ceremony will begin at 3:30 p.m. in which the Bossier Sheriff's Young Marines will post colors, lead the Pledge of Allegiance and recite the Young Marine Obligation.Windie Hendrix, accomplished vocalist and recording artist, will sing the National Anthem and "God Bless America."
Remarks will be made by Sheriff Whittington, U.S. Congressman John Fleming, Representative Thompson and Mike Berry of the Liberty Institute. A representative from U.S. Senator David Vitter's office will read a letter from the senator, and a proclamation from Governor Bobby Jindal will be read at the ceremony.
The phrase "In God we trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 and signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 2006, on the 50th anniversary of its adoption, the U.S. Senate reaffirmed "In God we trust" as the official national motto of the U.S In 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution reaffirming the motto and encouraged the public displays of "In God we trust" in all public buildings, public schools and other government institutions. View the House reaffirmation here - "In God We Trust"
Sheriff Whittington has received hundreds of phone calls and letters from individuals, groups and churches showing their support for the Sheriff's stance, and many have sent money and started fundraisers. Although the Bossier Sheriff's Office doesn't solicit funds from the public, Sheriff Whittington expresses his gratitude and will accept public support. If you wish to donate, please contact the Bossier Sheriff's Office at 318-965-3411 or write to Bossier Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Young Marines/Youth Diversion, P.O. Box 850, Benton, LA 71006.
"I am tremendously grateful to the people who have offered up their support of our young people and the shared disbelief over an objection to even the mere mention of God in our youth programs," Sheriff Whittington said. "The Young Marines program is such a positive influence on the lives of our young men and women, and about 1,000 recruits have graduated from the program over the past decade. Our newly-formed Youth Diversion is another tremendous program that will steer young men and women down a positive road so that they, too, can become productive citizens in our communities."

Help us present groundbreaking exhibitions and develop educational programs about our nation's history for more than 200,000 schoolchildren annually.
While the vast majority of the 10 million Africans taken across the Atlantic remain nameless, the story of Priscilla—a 10-year-old girl taken on the slave ship Hare from Sierra Leone to South Carolina in 1756—emerges from the pages of history and is told in this exhibition, using original documents from the New-York Historical Society. A wealthy planter named Elias Ball purchased Priscilla and four other children for his Comingtee Plantation near Charleston, giving each child an English name.

Materials and Tools:
tractor mower
fuel container
ear protection
long pants
heavy shoes
fuel container
wrench (scene 5)
ramp for mower (scene 6)
Craftsman measuring tape
Craftsman work gloves logo
bird bath
Start by checking mower.
Make sure you have the right mix of fuel. Never fill tank with mower on lawn; spills will kill grass. Never fill hot mower.
Tighten nuts and bolts.
Clean blade.
Check sparkplug and air filter.
Wear ear protection, long pants and heavy shoes.
Check lawn for rocks or sticks.
Different types of grass should be cut at different heights: fescue 2–3 inches; bent grass 1/4–1 inch; Bermuda 3/4–1 1/2 inches; zoysia 1–2 inches; St. Augustine 1 1/2–2 1/2 inches; bluegrass 1 3/4–2 1/2 inches; rye 1 1/2–2 inches.
Clipping the crown off grass makes it branch out and become dense, which creates a tightly woven lawn. For healthy grass, never cut more than 1/3 of grass height. In drought, cut in lower range; in cooler weather cut in higher range.
Tip: If you cut 1/3 of height, clippings will decompose and go back into soil as nutrients.
For even surface, let wheels slightly overlap previous pass. Each time you mow, cut a different pattern: horizontal, vertical, lower right to upper left, lower left to upper right. Mow across lawns at an angle, not up and down.
Plant groundcover on steep slopes.
Trim along driveway and walks. Use an edger or trimmer, or for faster trimming, use mower. Cutting a wedge into soil along driveway and street allows you to trim with mower.
Tip: If you surround trees and shrubs with a circle of mulch 8 to 10 inches from base, you can trim edges with mower without danger of injuring bark.

@alisha-- If you sweat from your face, hands and armpits, your sweat glands might be overworking. You should go to the doctor and have it checked out. Your doctor can find out the underlying cause, because there can be many different reasons for it.
My brother had excessive sweating several years ago, his problem was an overactive thyroid. I know it can be embarrassing to deal with. But it happens to a lot of people and its treatable. Just keep some extra clothes with you at work and exercise. Also drink lots of liquids until its diagnosed and treated so that you are not dehydrated.

Healthcare & Literacy for Homeless Families
So many of our clients feel that because they're homeless, they don't deserve good things."
Just one morning in Michelle Morgan-Jackson's life might include making sure one child has clothing and socks, another is fed, and another learns life-changing and life-enhancing skills, all while putting their mom's mind at ease and working on grants so The Floating Hospital can help even more families. And that's just the start of her day. Michelle is the Senior Health Educator at The Floating Hospital, which provides health services to New York City's homeless shelter population as well as the local communities of Long Island City and the Queensbridge Public Houses. The goal is to help the whole family, so, as The Floating Hospital provides health services to parents, Michelle and her staff offer, with parental permission, healthy snacks and age-appropriate—and entertaining—lessons on a variety of health-themed topics. Parents can relax and get the treatment they need, knowing their children are in a safe, loving environment. One important message to the families is that they matter. As Michelle says: "I'm from the school of 'it takes a community to raise a child,'" and that's apparent to her clients, who feel respected and supported in the clinic environment. Adds Michelle, "So many of our clients feel that because they're homeless, they don't deserve good things." The families served by The Floating Hospital often live with overwhelming stress and Michelle's goal is to reduce that stress, to be proactive and not just reactive in serving family needs. As part of that mission, Michelle is overseeing an expansion of the Reach Out and Read children's literacy program, which offers children from 6 months to 5 years old free books and counsels parents on the importance of reading aloud. The Floating Hospital's program currently serves homeless children and will now expand to children from Queensbridge Houses who receive services through The Floating Hospital. Michelle is working with our development staff to secure additional funding to expand this wonderful program. As she puts it, "If a child comes in who is 6 or 7, I will encourage him or her to read too." Michelle and her team hope to keep expanding services, as the need grows. She has helped secure a summer lunch program, which provides nutritious bagged lunches to children during the summer months, when children are often hungriest. And Michelle hopes to find funding for a program to support adolescents who are often in dire need of life skills, reproductive health education, and emotional support. Understanding what a healthy relationship looks like is so important at this vulnerable age. As she says "I see the journey our families take and helping them along the way is rewarding." The Floating Hospital has provided a healthier and more hopeful future to millions of New Yorkers. Help support the work Michelle and The Floating Hospital do for the community—and all they hope to accomplish in the future. Like us on Facebook Make a donation here

The present work aims at studying the effect of gamma radiation on the hard dental tissues. Eighty adult male albino rats with weights of about 250 g were used. The rats were irradiated at 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Gy whole-body gamma doses. The effects on hard dental tissue samples were investigated after 48 h in histological and ground sections using light microscopy. Areas of acid phosphatase activity were detected using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stains. Observation of histological sections revealed disturbance in predentin thickness and odontoblastic layer as the irradiation dose increased. In cementum, widened cementocytes lacunae were occasionally detected even with low irradiated doses. On the other hand, relatively homogenous enamel was detected with darkened areas in enamel surface at doses over than 0.5 Gy. TRAP-positive cells were detected on the surface of the dentin of irradiated groups as well as cementum surface. Minimal detectable changes were observed in ground sections.

As I am sure many dotTechies know, I am reviewed Ocster Backup on dotTech quite a few times. In my reviewes I have stated Ocster Backup is "Straightforward and easy to use" because, frankly, it is. However, in the end I reject Ocster Backup because of multiple other reasons. Apparently the developer of Ocster thinks it is okay to selectively quote me, and not link back to the full review, to try to promote their software.
If you go to http://www.ocster.com/ocster-b…..p-pro-5/en you will note it says
"Straightforward and easy to use."

Sorry to hear about this.
Hopefully they will rectify this immediately. However, if they choose to ignore your requests to make it right, then this sure seems like it is similar to what was written about earlier this year on dotTech:
"Beat deceitful developers at their deceitful games by calling them out on their deceitful 'awards.'"

Isn't the advertising world a wonderful place? hmph…
First off, they've changed it so that the "dottech.org" does in fact link back to your article now.
Secondly, developer's advertising departments are going to do whatever they want with anything you or anyone else says. Because even if you post an article or comment like you did, you're putting their name out there for more people to see. At least some of those people will go to their site, like even I did. And maybe some of those people will look around and find a program they like and end up buying it. So in the end, as I see it, by posting your unhappiness with the developer and even providing a link back to their site, they have been provided with more free advertising. I seriously doubt that they care that they're also going to have a relatively small number of people that will never buy from them because of what they did.
They also know that the chances of you getting a lawyer and taking legal action is very low. And even if you do, their name gets put out there even more for people to see. So they win again.
I too think that it's disgusting that a developer can't do something as simple as providing a back-link and that they will twist your words or use them out of context. But that's the world we live in. I hope that at the very least posting about it helped lower your anger level a bit.

It happens all the time … and not just in this area. Back in the day, I used to write book and movie reviews for a sizeable publication. Book publishing houses, movie companies and the like always look for the literary equivalent of sound bites for publicity purposes. That's why you see just selected quotes on promo blurbs and on book covers, etc. It may in no way be an accurate representation of your overall summation of a particular offering. Actually, we'd have a running competition to see who could write a line or two juicy enough to be used, no matter how crappy the book/movie was (it was good for the publication's publicity as well … bit of a parasitic relationship).
Having said all that, the makers of Ocster may not have acted illegally (is such deception illegal?), but it has acted unethically. And for me, that has cost them their credibility and integrity. And that is numero uno in my book. So I won't be in a hurry to install their software. I'm curious, though, as to how the situation has been rectified. I just looked at the link provided, and it still says the same thing – which hence still alludes to a glowing Ashraf review. Just providing a page link to the review doesn't change the fact that it's still being used for what can be seen to be false advertising purposes.
But on the plus side, it doesn't hurt dotTech's reputation. Quite the opposite.
Gotta find a silver lining somewhere …

Repair & Maintenance
Bike Tune Up
As you know, a person riding a bicycle is the most efficient animal on earth in terms of travel for energy expended. We are also the most efficient machines by the same criteria. To attain that efficiency, bicycles must be a compromise of weight and expense. Therefore they are fragile and need frequent adjustments. A bike tune-up is the package of small repairs and adjustments which are applied from time to time to keep your bike in top shape. Why pay the bike shop $30 or more every time your bike needs a tune-up, when with just a little reading and practice you can do a better, more caring job? Why pay them to have all the fun?

Bike Racing 101: Your First Road Race
The hardest part of bike racing isn't cornering, climbing or pack sprints. The biggest obstacle is the anxiety that everyone feels before they pin on that first number and roll up to the starting line. You'll feel a little better once the race starts and a lot better when it's over. The next race will be easier because you'll know what to expect.

NORBA Mountain Bike Racing Tips
Come prepared: When you arrive at a race, your bike should be in race-ready condition. Don't save repairs or adjustments until the night before the race. Every racer should bring a variety of spare parts including: cog sets and chain rings, spare chains, spare tubes and tires, as well as an extra wheel set. Factory technical support is sometimes available but (don't ?) depend on them. Be Prepared.
Mountain Bike Racing Strategies
When racing, it is helpful to make a strategy according to the length and style of the race (short sprinty, downhill, enduro). Strategies should be simple, and custom made for each race. Take into account: the terrain, weather, distance, your fitness, and your competitors. Your plan should be made early race day and at the site of the race. Having a bicycle computer is handy for making your plan more exact, but don't become predisposed with your speedo or you will hit a tree for sure. An example of a strategy I have used is :

Off Road Rules Of The Trail
Thousands of miles of dirt trails have been closed to mountain bicyclists. The irresponsible riding habits of a few riders have been a factor. Do your part to maintain trail access by observing the following rules of the trail, formulated by IMBA, the International Mountain Bicycling Association. IMBA's mission is to promote environmentally sound and socially responsible mountain bicycling. Off-Road Rules of the Trail curtosy IMBA (International Mounain Bike Association).

Solid Food versus Liquid Nutrition
One often hears the question " I'm riding an ultra distance event (more than a century). Should I consider a liquid nutrition product for all my energy needs (e.g., Spiz, Perpetuem, Boost, Ensure, or should I eat a combination with solid food, too? There are several pieces to this answer.
The secret for maximum performance in events lasting more than 2 hours (the time at which muscle glycogen depletion generally occurs with cycling) is to snack frequently every 20 to 30 minutes. A successful program requires striking a balance between eating enough to prevent hunger and avoiding the pitfall of "if a little is good, a lot is better" philosophy with the risk of stomach distention, bloating, nausea, and a subsequent deterioration in performance if one errs on the side of eating too much.
Post Ride Recovery and Your Training Program
Ask a cyclist about their training program and you will hear about mileage, intervals, and nutritional secrets. Only recently has post ride recovery made it onto the list of priorities. Yet successful cyclists know that preparation for the next ride begins even as the current one is being completed.

There are two approaches to the relationship of aging and physical performance. Most athletes are concerned with the effects of aging on their own abilities to perform and compete. But for the nonathlete, the question is often whether physical activity can counteract or blunt the aging process itself. From that perspective, the answer is yes it can, and it has been estimated that 30% of all deaths from heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer are related to inadequate physical activity. One study indicated that no more than 20% (and more likely less than 10%) of adults in the US obtain sufficient regular physical activity to have a measurable impact on their health and fitness levels.
Training vs Genetics
It's interesting to speculate whether it is genetics or training/attitude that determine who will be a world class cyclist. I put the following question (from one of this websire's readers) to an online coaching forum and will summarize the answers below.
Progressive, Gradual, and Quantifiable- The Training Process
Random training produces random results: You may get faster, you may get slower, or you may make no progress at all. In order to increase your fitness level a few basic and key elements need to be in place. These elements are crucial to your athletic success and should be considered in designing your plan.
Tips for Traveling with a Bike
Transporting a bike by car is a relatively easy affair-just strap a bike rack onto the back of you're car, and you're ready to go. But, enter the world of air and rail travel, and things get a bit trickier. Read on to learn what you'll need to know to get your bike to your destination in one piece-or at least the same number of pieces you started with.
Technical NEWS Artilces
Welcome to cyclingnews.com's section devoted to everything else bike related other than the rider. Frames, wheels, groupsets, saddles, handlebars, pedals, tyres, helmets, clothing, shoes, glasses, accessories - you name it, we'll cover it. In the following reports, the latest innovations in the bicycling industry are described, with plenty of pictures of beautiful machines to drool over.
Here are a few sites on bicycle aerodynamics. As far as I can tell, I've found most which appear on the net. I've also tossed in a few links on Eddy Merckx, Lance Armstrong, and, of course, the official Tour de France homepage. As always, I'm looking for more sites in this area. Drop me a line with your suggestions or comments.
Quick Releases Explained
Incorrect quick-release use is dangerous because these mechanisms hold the wheels in place. The most common mistake is simply turning the lever like a nut until the wheel seems tight.
Removing A Rear Wheel
Afraid to remove your rear wheel to fit the bike in a trunk or fix a flat? Think you'll mess up the chain or shifting? Relax. Anyone can remove a rear wheel and it won't affect shifting or the chain. Here's how:

Court orders that are of a limited duration are called "temporary orders." These are rules you will have to live by until your San Antonio divorce is granted. Failure to abide by these orders can result in contempt.
Temporary orders set out guidelines that apply during the process of San Antonio divorce, and may deal with issues such as:
Temporary orders not only define what someone does during the divorce process, they can also define what someone cannot do. Temporary restraining orders may be sought in order to prevent someone from doing a particular act likely to cause physical or mental injury, and property loss. This type of court order prohibits a party from actions, such as:
Temporary orders can be issues without the other spouse being present; however, they are only valid for 14 days. After this time is up, the other spouse must be notified that a trial on temporary orders will be held.
Temporary orders can be voluntarily agreed upon, decided by the court, or not requested at all. Of course, if orders are issued, all the circumstances outlined in a temporary order are subject to change once the San Antonio divorce has been finalized. Be sure to have your San Antonio divorce attorney help you.

CWT Leverages Social Media to Give Business Travelers Their Say
CWT Hotel Intel - a new private hotel review site for companies
AMSTERDAM, November 14, 2012 - CWT launches
CWT Hotel Intel, an innovative travel review site that
allows business travelers to share hotel ratings and reviews within a secure, company-specific
site. Part of CWT's comprehensive hotel offering called
CWT Hotel 360,
CWT Hotel Intel not only gives access to up-to-date
information on company-compliant hotels, but also provides trusted advice from fellow business
Following a business trip, travelers receive an automatic email alert asking them to comment
on their hotel stay - they can give the hotel a rating and post reviews of the property so that
other travelers can read about their experience and make an informed choice before booking.
Reviews, which remain in a private network, can be made only after a genuine stay. Information on
room availability, hotel facilities and details of negotiated rates, such as breakfast, Wi-fi and
parking, are also displayed on the site.
"The development of
CWT Hotel Intel is very much aligned with the current
trends we're seeing in the industry - travelers increasingly use peer group information to make
decisions," said Patrice Simon, innovation leader at CWT. "Using our knowledge of how travelers use
social networks for their leisure travel, we developed this exciting travel site that allows
business travelers to share valuable information with their peers in a way that supports compliance
with a company's travel policy."
CWT Hotel Intel is powered by Vinivi, a leading travel-review company. It is specifically
designed for companies and is similar to leisure travel review sites. It gives travel managers a
unique tool to help them manage their corporate hotel program, while encouraging travelers to stay
at their company's preferred properties. Providing a single source of traveler feedback and hotel
CWT Hotel Intel assists travel managers in improving the
level of service their suppliers provide.
Commenting on L'Oreal's use of
CWT Hotel Intel, Corinne Delbreil, travel, meetings &
events manager for L'Oreal Global Procurement said, "our goal was relatively simple - we wanted to
increase our negotiation power with hotels and improve the satisfaction of our travelers. So far,
we are extremely happy - we know that we are providing our travelers the best choice possible,
based on their feedback. In just a few clicks our travelers know what hotel their colleagues have
recommended, if the hotel is available and which services are included within the negotiated rate."

L'Oreal's experience with

Yerevan Travel Information
The Basics
Electrical current in Armenia is 220 volts, 50 Hz. Round two-pin attachment plugs and Schuko plugs are in use.
Armenian is the official language, and it has its own alphabet. Russian is widely spoken and English is becoming more prominent.
Travel Health
There are no immunizations required for travellers to Armenia; however there is a small risk of malaria between June and October in some of the villages of the Ararat Valley. Medical care is limited, particularly outside of Yerevan, and treatment is not recommended for anything major. Comprehensive medical insurance should include emergency medical evacuation.
Many restaurants in the capital will add a service charge onto the bill, but this does not go to the staff, so tips are welcome in Armenia.
Safety Information
Crime is relatively low in Armenia, but travellers should still be careful with their personal possessions and avoid any unnecessary displays of wealth. Pickpockets take advantage of crowded market areas. Avoid travel near the border with Azerbaijan due to the unresolved dispute over Nagorno Karabakh.
Local Customs
Armenia is an orthodox Christian country and outside the capital people are conservative, so women in particular should avoid wearing shorts and short skirts. Military bases and installations should not be photographed.
Business is conducted formally in Armenia. Business hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm.
The international dialling code for Armenia is +374. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the UK). Cities codes are in use, and the national prefix to call between cities is 0 e.g. (0)10 for Yerevan. For mobile phones the prefix is 09. Public pre-paid card phones are available throughout the country, but not all will allow international calls; post offices and major hotels have international dialling access, but calls are expensive. Internet cafes are available in Yerevan and other large cities. Mobile phones can be rented.
Duty Free
There is free import on 400 cigarettes, one bottle of alcohol, perfume up to the amount of US$500, and personal goods of up to US$500 in value.
Become our Yerevan Travel Expert
We are looking for contributors for our Yerevan travel guide. If you are a local, a regular traveller to Yerevan or a travel professional with time to contribute and answer occasional forum questions, please contact us.

Of the military forces that operate in Mhad Su Tarre under the flags of human nations, there are five which are most prevalent. The Koshyan Provincial Guards of Anchortop, the Rossentian Foreign Legion, the Caluran Confederate Municipal Army, the Frontrange Commonwealth Mountaineers, and the Baloran Expeditionarre.
The Koshyan Provincial Guards are a division of the Koshyan army. They comprise of three brigades; one motor rifle brigade, one motor cavalry brigade, and a heavy Kostralak brigade. The force is roughly sixteen thousand strong including support personnel, and is tasked primarily with defending the borders of Anchortop. As the province of Anchortop is currently on good relations with the Mhadyon Coalition, the KPG has on occasion provided direct aid in defense of Mhadyon borders as well. The Koshyan Kostralak (pictured above) is a heavy infantry unit who fights on and holds front lines in battle. They are issued similar equipment and arms as the regular Koshyan Stralak, in addition to wearing a full set of ballistic armor. While heavy, it offers superior coverage and protection compared to ordinary flak and ballistic vests. It uses a mix of flexible pads and plates to allow for adequatethough still restrictedmovement. Kostralaks are most effective in short-range or close-quarters battles, preferring to avoid prone positions while in combat due to their armor.
The Rossentian Foreign Legion was historically an expeditionary force deployed in the colonial era to protect the Rossentian Empire's colony of Tundria, one of the three colonies that originally laid claim to the land of Calur. During the Caluran civil war, the RFL conspired with the government of Rokan and helped eliminate the opposing Baloran colony of Seastride, and has since established itself alongside the Caluran Confederate Municipal Gendarmerie as the de facto ruling powers of the Caluran Confederacy. RFL troops in Calur wear a burnt orange strip of cloth on their helmets and along their shoulders, signifying their integration with the Confederacy.
The RFL itself is organized similarly to the Rossentian Imperial Army, with a rigid hierarchy and strict discipline. The RFL is currently comprised of three legions of fifteen thousand men each, with an auxiliary legion that directly oversees protection of the Caluran capital of Rokanberg. In war the RFL is just as brutal and unforgiving as the RIA, even without the sheer numbers the RIA can field. Prisoners are taken as slaves and pressed into servitude under the Legion, and Rossentians are not sparing in their punishment of those who struggle against them.
The CCMG is a native human military, and is mostly made up of fresh young recruits and veterans of the Caluran civil war, and though a regular army it is not organized into a rigid overall structure. Each municipal zone manages their own divisions of troops, depending on how many fighting men each can muster. Together, the municipal divisions of the CCMG are organized and directed by the Caluran Confederate Government. In total, there are approximately nine municipal divisions ranging from between five to twenty thousand troops apiece. The Confederate government also fields its own corps unbound by the municipalities, consisting of the RFL auxiliary legion and the Caluran Fireguardtwo divisions of elite infantry.
The Frontrange Commonwealth Mountaineers are the primary armed forces of Frontrange, currently made up of six divisions of mountain grenadiers, four cavalry divisions, and one armored division. Frontrange grenadiers are extremely well-trained and drilled heavy mountain infantry who wear thick ballistic vests. Mountain grenadiers are equipped with M500E2 automatic rifles and often have access to infrared night vision optics. They are considered by many to be some of the most effective fighters on the continent, training exhaustively in the high-altitude mountain landscape of their home country.
The nation of Southcape, being unusually integrated with the Mhadyon nation of Cuuszetorig and in general quite neutral, doesn't currently field a substantially large active military, instead relying on the Southcape National Guard & Police, as well as three divisions of the Baloran Expeditionarre Army. Balor has a vested interest in Southcape's stability as a nation, as Balor moves towards becoming a global trade empire and shedding off its old skin of military conquest after the decimating Baloran civil war that left the empire divided.
Baloran military doctrine favors simplicity, practicality, and surgical application of power. The standard Baloran infantry unitthe Arbalestierembodies these ideals; using lightweight kits and battle rifles. A typical Arbalestier has seen combat in a handful of different countries, and their fighting prowess is legendary.
Hehe :3 Thanks!
I want to learn how to work with 3d more, I'd love to get into modding, especially as I have tons of designs like this that would be loads of fun to produce.

Some key issues to consider in the months ahead. Yingluck's win was significant — but there could be more turbulence to come.
BANGKOK, Thailand — So what comes next?
That's the question many people are asking here in Thailand following Sunday's first general election in five years. The highly anticipated vote saw a party loyal to a fugitive prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, take a majority in parliament. His younger sister, Yingluck, a telegenic 44-year-old who is a political novice, is set to be the country's first female prime minister.
The result is a rejection of the Bangkok establishment, which includes the powerful army that overthrew Thaksin in 2006, the courts that dismissed his subsequently elected allies, and the Oxford-educated prime minister who has now been voted out.
The election came just a year after bloody anti-government protests that marked the Southeast Asian country's worst political violence in decades. Some 91 people were killed and thousands injured when red-clad supporters, most of them Thaksin backers, rallied in Bangkok.
Ahead of the election, many wondered: Would voters stand by Thaksin and his sister? Or would his opponents be able to muster enough support to keep his party out of office? The answers were: Most definitely yes, and not even close.
"I've said this several times. We are not going to intervene."~Defense Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon on whether there will be another coup
So now that the vote is over, and a Thaksin-linked party will be assuming office, what can we expect to follow?
Here are some key issues to consider in the months ahead. Yingluck's win was significant — but there could be more turbulence to come.
Does the vote mean Thailand's political crisis is easing?
Far from it. Anger among Red Shirt supporters may have eased now that their party has won. But the anti-Thaksin camp may well hate the former leader more than ever. His critics say he is venal, greedy, megalomaniac, and that he has duped poor, rural voters into voting for him.
In Thailand, powerful people refuse to "accept the voices of the majority," according to a Thai political analyst who asked not to be named. While not a Thaksin supporter, he says the country's troubles began when Thaksin was ousted in 2006. Whereas in the United States or elsewhere, "the electorate or supporters of one party would accept the result of the election if another wins," this is not the case in Thailand.
In an example that illustrates the severity of the situation, he says he has friends who occupy coveted positions in government ministries and the business world — and who support Pheu Thai's rival, the Democrat party. Rather than accepting that Thaksin's party has won the election, they are bitter, and argue that the election should be scrapped. They say the votes of Thailand's poor — many of whom are Thaksin supporters — should not be counted because the people in the countryside are uneducated.
Will there be another coup?
In short, it depends on what Pheu Thai does next. While Yingluck and her party have a political mandate, history shows that coups have been frequent in Thailand: There have been 18 successful or attempted coups since the 1930s.
Such is the anticipation of a potential military move that much of today's international and domestic media coverage, two days after the election, has featured comments made yesterday by Defense Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon.
"I've said this several times," he was quoted by Thai media as saying, "We are not going to intervene." The very fact that a denial is noteworthy demonstrates how commonplace coups are here.
Of course, it's worth noting that military leaders have made similar statements before Thaksin was overthrown in 2006. "Military coups are a thing of the past," army chief Sonthi Boonyaratglin told the International Herald Tribune in March 2006. Tanks rolled through the streets six months later.
The message from voters on Sunday was "we don't want a military coup d'etat to change our choice of leaders," wrote Pichai Chuensuksawadi, editor-in-chief of English-language newspaper The Bangkok Post.
Can Yingluck deliver?
Yingluck has to live up to some lofty promises her party made on the campaign trail. One is to provide tablet PCs for schoolchildren under a program called "one tablet per child." (The computers wouldn't be iPads, though, but rather cheaper versions that run on the Android operating system.)
The Pheu Thai party has also pledged to guarantee prices for rice farmers, and has vowed to focus on massive infrastructure projects. One of the construction projects involves building a railway from Bangkok's international

The Tullow Board recognises the importance of good corporate governance and is committed to business integrity and high ethical values across the Group's activities. This it views as an integral part of doing business.
There are 12 members of Tullow's Board, five Executive Directors and seven Non-executive Directors. There is clear separation of the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer to ensure an appropriate balance of responsibility and accountability.
The Chairman, Simon Thompson, is responsible for the effective running of the Board, ensuring that the Board plays a full and constructive part in the development and determination of the Group's strategy, and acts as guardian and facilitator of the Board's decision-making process.
The Chief Executive Officer, Aidan Heavey, is responsible for managing the Group's business, proposing and developing the Group's strategy and overall commercial objectives in consultation with the Board and, as leader of the executive team, implementing the decisions of the Board and its Committees. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for maintaining regular dialogue with shareholders as part of the Group's overall investor relations programme.
In his role as Senior Independent Director, Mr. Bamford is available to shareholders who have concerns that cannot be resolved through discussion with the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer or where such contact is inappropriate.
The main responsibilities of the Audit Committee includes monitoring the integrity of the Group's financial statements and announcements on financial performance, overseeing the relationship with the external auditors and reviewing significant financial reporting and accounting policy issues, the Group's internal audit programme, risk management systems and internal control procedures and ensuring effective whistle-blowing procedures.
The role of the Nominations Committee is critical in ensuring that Tullow's Board and Committee composition and balance support both the Group's business ambitions and best practice in the area of corporate governance. Succession planning for Directors and other senior executives is another key responsibility.
The principal role of the Remuneration Committee is to develop and maintain a remuneration strategy that ensures that Executive Directors and senior management are rewarded in a manner that continues to closely align the long-term interests of shareholders with those of executives.

I know it's none of my business, but I think the couple should wait about 4 years to start trying to make babies. Kris needs time to spend with his bride and 3.5yrs is enough, then start trying to make the babies… just my opinion, but couples should have time to themselves before bringing a little person into the formula. Enjoy time as a married couple, is my two cents… best wishes…
