FF Nuvo is a contemporary sans with vertical contrast. However, certain characters have a calligraphic touch, especially a, g and y. The typeface offers several alternate characters – e.g., a, g, k, s, y – for added typographic versatility in text.
Designer Siegfried Rückel developed the concept for FF Nuvo during a stay in Paris, after being inspired by elegant, extravagant appearance of French magazine typography. He wanted to design a rounded typeface, without resorting to the common methods. So, he took advantage from the visual limitations of our eyes: stroke endings in FF Nuvo appear soft when seen from a distance, or in small point sizes, but reveal their peculiar forms at a closer look. FF Nuvo is a very suitable choice for magazine design, from headlines down to longer texts, as well as for advertising, packaging, or corporate design.
In 2011, a new monospaced family was added: FF Nuvo Mono. This variant has the same number of fonts and features as the original FF Nuvo, including Small Caps, Italics, etc. FF Nuvo Mono offers a fresh option for a range of design applications, from the traditional to the unusual. FF Nuvo Mono has a slightly lower x-height than the letters in FF Nuvo, to better emphasize the typewriter character.
FF Nuvo supports 114 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French in Latin scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)

Three different servers. At least one must be 'the best'. Let the contest begin!
I do hope that this won't eternally fragment display management though...
Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail has the latest version of Wayland / Weston.
You can run Weston both under X and under DRM/console.
To run on X, you run "weston", to run on DRM, you run it via "weston-launch", but you need to chmod +s the weston-launch binary first.
Then you need to set the GDK_BACKEND environmental variable to "wayland". Then you can run some GTK applications.
But you don't get window decorations, and only some GTK applications work, many don't, and even those who work many crash.
Some applications don't work unless you run them or weston itself via 'dbus-launch', such as gedit and gnome-terminal.
Run them via 'dbus-launch gedit', or 'dbus-launch weston-launch'.
Applications depending on X does not work, since XWayland is not yet merged in.
So basically you can try it out today, but many things don't work yet and there is still lots of development ahead that needs to be done.
Three different servers. At least one must be 'the best'. Let the contest begin!
I do hope that this won't eternally fragment display management though...
They might need something leaner/more optimized for their mobile versions of Ubuntu for phones and tablets. I assume this will be out with Ubuntu 14.04.
I really hope this is just rumor or Ubuntu experimenting.. that would absolutely retarded if Ubuntu decided to make their own display server, especially when Wayland looks so good.
All they would achieve by doing this would be more Linux fragmentation making developers lives even harder. Then of course Steam would probably start targeting Ubuntu's half-assed Display Server, and every other Linux distro would have to do even more work to be able to play Steam games (my feeling is it would really dampen the momentum of Steam on Linux).
Jono must have just misspoke and meant Ubuntu would be using Wayland compositor (instead of Weston).
Wayland was designed with tablets and smartphones in mind. You can't get any leaner and lighter than passing buffer IDs around which is what Wayland is doing, if graphics drivers are of proper quality the ID refers to a buffer in GPU memory, you can't be more efficient than that. Not to mention Wayland also focuses on tear-free and color-correct graphics from the start.
Now, considering the average smartphone has about 2 cores, and 4-cores smartphones are on the way - it's literally paranoid to say it's got "too many" features for a smartphone or tablet, it's like 50K LOC.

Based on the comments he made on a popular Ubuntu fan site, regarding this topic, I'm pretty sure they're actually serious about this one. Throw in the fact that in the past ~18 months Canonical has gone absolutely batshit crazy, and this is pretty believable.
I think Michael is right that Canonical doesn't have the resources to pull this one off, but actually having something that works well hasn't been a top priority as of late. So I don't think "working" is even a criteria for Canonical.
There is absolutely no chance that Ubuntu makes anything more than insignificant inroads into the mobile space. It will have about as much marketshare in mobile as it does on the desktop. Except in the process they're blowing up the little desktop marketshare they have.
I do not see a way Ubuntu could pull this off, and if they do, it would be really bad for everyone anyway.
There is simply no way this can work. It is either a misunderstanding (and they are doing something more reasonable, like a special Wayland-optimised version of Unity or something), or they are going down in flames.
Who would support this server anyway? Are they going to port all toolkits and apps to it themselves? Not in a million years.
Well, if they do do this, I would actually not be terribly surprised, considering it is Canonical.

Hello every one I have been so bust building and other things that its been a while since I have made any posts.
But Ill be firring up the newest addition to my fleet the U-32 that has some neat gizmos like retractable cleats,masts,lights and a non presurized tank ballast system.Ya id say I went off the manufacturers instructions on this one and it now performes better with a static dive system that is self contained,runs for 2 hours on 16 amps hours of baterry power.And cost alot less than OEM components.
Another surprise is the underwater camara a Marcum 560 unit that is too cool,onscreen depth ,magnetic heading and remote 360 degree rotation of the camara with special led lighting.
This one going on a ROV for sub rescue ops.
If any one has a portable DVR or VCR then we can record live underwater ops in black and white later Ill use color.
So lets have some fun!! Dave Amur Ship Yard

Hydroviton.CR Liquid Normalizing Facial Soap
SinthiaFinally I Found U!!!!!i started using this product as casuality. now i can't be without it. it totally clean my face. even the old marks from picking my face are gone. im a 28 year girl and still had acne. now i can really take a picture without hair in my face. the best part u see the difference in less than 2 or 3 weeks. love it love it love itposted Mar 26, 2010Link to this post
LiamSwansea, Wales, UKGuttedI have been using this product twice daily for over a week now. That seems a short time to see any real affect for most products, however this product advertises a dramatic difference in the first application and there hasn't been any change in a week. I'm going to keep using it to see if it needs more time. But with all products some are better for some people than others. I'll just keep searching.posted Nov 23, 2009Link to this post
KimExpensive But The Best I Ever UsedI have a whole bathroom of every imaginable cleanser and none of them gave results like what I got from Hydroviton CR. You can really see the results right away and I think its worth every penney.posted Dec 26, 2006Link to this post
KdOntarioDisappointedI had high hopes, perhaps too high. In any event, this product has not performed to the level others have reported. I cannot justify continuing to purchase this product when other lower-priced products will provide identiccal resultsposted Nov 5, 2006Link to this post
KathyMassachusettsWorks GreatI have acne, oily and rosacia skin problems. It did a wonderful job of clearing up my skin. It did not completely stop the oil but did put into control. It is expensive but I do highly recommend it.posted Oct 16, 2006Link to this post
AudreyMinneapolis, MinnesotaHydrovitonAfter just one application of Hydroviton, my face changed tremendously! I am a 47 year old African American woman. I normally have mild acne when my hormones flare at a certain time of the month. The breakout leaves me with tiny dark spots and unevenly colored skin in general. Hydroviton has left me with flawless, pimple-free, evenly colored skin. Its the bomb!!posted Jul 20, 2006Link to this post

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailed
MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

A very odd bird's-eye view here, not sure if I'll do that again. Not easy when your main character is basically two-dimensional.
I've also gone ahead and put some effort into finding a new font, since Comic Sans always looked a bit odd. This one is called Creamregular, and it actually looks somewhat like my own handwriting on those rare occasions when I write legibly, and even has that lean that us lefties have. I just found it more comfortable to use, and maybe I'll go back and update the text in the old pages.

Birthplace of Dr. Pepper soda and home of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, Waco, Texas, has major attractions as well as a rich history that dates back to a time when mammoths walked the earth. Those looking for Waco apartments for rent may come to this city of more than 126,700 residents to attend one of the three colleges located in the metropolis, or simply to enjoy the high quality of life offered in the "Heart of Texas."
Historically speaking, the first white settlers came to Waco in 1837. It was named after the Huaco Indians, who lived on the land that now makes up a thriving downtown area.
Waco is a quiet place to live, but there is plenty to do in this city. While you're finding the perfect Waco apartments for rent, you may enjoy checking out the Dr. Pepper Museum, which commemorates the creation of this soda in Waco in 1885. Other historical attractions are scattered throughout the city, but include five historic homes built in Greek Revival and Italianate Villa style and the Waco Mammoth Site, where the skeletal remains of mammoths are on display. The site was opened to the public in 2009 and is the nation's first and only recorded discovery of a nursery herd of Pleistocene mammoths. Now, the public can enjoy a dig shelter that creates an art gallery atmosphere. Sports enthusiasts living in apartments in Waco may enjoy a visit to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, while the city's 416-acre Cameron Park, situated on the Brazos and Bosque rivers, hosts a number of recreational activities. Each year, residents of Waco apartments gather to watch boat races, triathlons and more.
According to AreaVibes, Waco apartments for rent, on average, cost 9.5 percent less than the national average. You'll also save on groceries and other local amenities because the cost of living in Waco is 15.3 percent less than the national average.
Its location on the manufacturing and technology corridor between Austin and Dallas has helped Waco evolve into a hub of trade, transportation, utilities and manufacturing, but education, healthcare and government are also top employers in the area. Many people seek out apartments for rent in Waco apartments to attend Baylor University, a private Baptist university that has been nationally ranked as a liberal arts institution. However, the city is also home to McLennan Community College and Texas State Technical College Waco, offering a vast array of educational opportunities to residents.

"ATI has longer internal testing phases" - yes they are so long that they need 18 month to fix some bugs.
as opposed to the memory leak issues that have been plaguing nvidia drivers for as long as i've been using linux at least....
or the fact that i had to try three different versions of the official nvidia drivers on my moms computer to find one that wouldn't cause it to periodically lock up.
In some cases nvidia drivers do not fully work correct, but you can at least ask questions in nvnews.net and see if some devs will look at the issue. In most cases those are not known or hard to reproduce. Also you do not have to wait from month to month for next drivers, but they are released if needed (can be longer than a month too).
Probably two Gallium drivers will only differ as far as the hardware implementations of certain functions (eg. rasterization) differ, since all hardware is running using the same state engine. So there will probably be less variability. But right now, very few applications are being designed with open-source drivers in mind at all, so we'll have to see how it goes.

With Gerboldt's age and skating skills? What? She is 22 years old. I didn't know that today she is too old and her skating skills are so bad. I think that a certain pair won Vancouver when they were in their thirties. Trankov is in his late twenties right now and isn't Savchenko 27 and Szolkowy 32? Some pairs in the past did not show any good skating or results at 22 but later became great pairs. Learning and experience. I don't know what will happen with this pair but you can't write them off so soon.
check that quote above , he commented on his SP performance , was that really him ? wow
so I guess he is active on his youtube account, you can probably message him. LOL.

Woot first time B/L actually did synchronized SBS jumps 3T's!!
I love the entrance to the death spiral as well.
I agree I was just going to comment that B/L's unison has improved a LOT since I last saw them. I also very much enjoyed their lift which I found to be both extremely difficulty and very beautiful, a combination I think a lot of pairs lack. I also really appreciated their connection which I also feel has improved- though I would never compare them to G&G at this stage I felt how she would look at him sometimes was slightly reminiscent of Katia and for me provided a striking contrast to M/R, who I saw second and who looked at each other maybe twice throughout the program. I am eager to see more from them though- they definitely have all of the tools to be the next great figure skating pair if she can become more consistent as others have already commented on.
I also am missing the top two pairs, but overall I was happy to get to see these programs.
Finally, I absolutely LOVED S/K's step sequence. I'm excited for tomorrow.
Her skating skills are not that great. At the age of 22 if you haven't mastered your own single skating skills (apart from your partner) like edges, control and jumps, you won't-ESPECIALLY since her singles coach of was on of the best; Alexei Mishin. Switching to pairs isn't to be used as a last resort to learn how to skate, it's to be used to make the pairs skills better. Both skaters need to be strong singles skaters for it to work and Enbert isn't the best either.
Are you really comparing S/Z-a pair that had been togther for 20 years when they won their Olympic gold to G/E? G/E would have to had got together when they were 9. The other skaters you mentioned maybe older (later 20s early 30s) but they have great skating skills by themselves, not to mention great parters (sometime several great patners.) It has nothing to do with age, it has to do with learning your craft long before 22. There may have been pairs who didn't see results until after 22 but that doesn't mean they had trouble skating and all of a sudden became great skaters. Mostly it had to do with lack of partners or finding the right one.
G/E are now in 5th place (it would have been 7th if the top pairs were skating) and maybe they can still get on the podium. But even if they did medal it would have only been 4th or 5th place with V/T and K/S competing. I would rather Moskvina spend her last year and a half as a coach training someone like I/M or M/R.
I am not a fan of G/E and don't really care what happens to them considering that there are so many other great russian pairs. I just personally thought it is not fair to say a pair that began skating together a year ago you consider so bad (obviously she doesn't have lots of experience in paris even if she is not a good singles skater) that they should immediately retire. I am comparing them to S/Z who had a lot of time but hey, they could skate together for 20 years too. At 40, they could reach something. At 36, a Chinese pair became olympic champions. I think you can always improve your skating skills even by a little unless you are handicapped. Not by much, but you can. I don't think they will get anywhere but don't automatically think that a newly formed pair should retire because she is a bad partner. I don't like Sui/Han and think they have horrible skating skills but with time, they could get better. G/E were 4th at Europeans where there were a lot pairs- yes, the other pairs were not good but G/E seemed to have better skating skills than others who were together for many years.
I don't like Sui/Han and think they have horrible skating skills but with time, they could get better.
Again you are comparing a 16 year old bad skater with a 22 year old bad skater and S/H are already far more successful.
Sui will become a much better skater by the time she is 22 as long as she doesn't grow an inch or gain a pound or she will have to find a new partner.
Maiserudze and Rogonov certainly do interesting things in their spare time! LOL!
Where did I say that S/H are not more successful than G/E? I agree. They are more successful but that is due to the fact that they have been skating in pairs for about 4 years versus G/E 1 year and because Gerboldt just began skating with a partner. Obviously they would be more successful right now. They have more experience! Also, they have a lot more medals because they were on the junior grand prix circuit where it is easier to medal if you can jump even a little. But G/E began their career with only getting one senior grand prix when they just began skating. Isn't it logical that they had less success right now? It doesn't help as well that there is such a tough field at nationals for G/E so they have less chances of getting to Euroes or Worlds. Nevertheless, they finished 4th at RN and Euros. Is that bad? Sounds pretty successful to me.
Just so I understand you, you think that just because the pairs field in Russia is - what you call - "tough" G/E don't have many opportunities to go to Euros and Worlds? Yet when they went to Cup of Nice, they were 2nd and at the Cup of Russia they were 5th. So what place do you honestly think they are going to get if by some miracle they are sent to worlds? Considering they now have the 21st highest total score this season. Finishing 4th at Russian Nationals in 2011 was not such a great feat when you consider they were at their very best at everyone else behind them failed.
You are too concerned about how long teams have been paired up versus how long they have skated alone. Gerboldt has had far more time than most other skaters to master her single skating skills (16 years, just as long as Sui has been alive) and has yet to master it. Like I said before if you can't master something under the tutelage of someone like Alexei Mishin, there is not much Dmitriev/Moskvina can teach you (especially in only a year and a half left before Moskvina retires.)
So she's new to pairs (1.5 years); without the basic skills she should have been taught in her teen years, she won't learn much while having to learn/perfect pair elements. Falling on a throw is one thing but falling on a single element is quite another. If you are fortunate enough to see them live make sure you bring earplugs, their scratchy skates will make your ears bleed.

Nuno set for D-backs debut against Marlins
Lefty acquired Sunday from Yankees; Hand starts for Miami
The last time Vidal Nuno took a big league mound, he was in Yankees pinstripes. On Tuesday night, he'll have the chance to make his first impression with the D-backs.
Traded on Sunday for right-hander Brandon McCarthy, Nuno will make his Arizona debut against the Marlins.
The left-hander was 2-5 with a 5.42 ERA for the Yankees this season, striking out 60 in 78 innings but allowing 15 home runs. He's eager to prove himself in a new league with a new team.
"Now I have another opportunity," Nuno said. "And what I want to do is just work hard and just try and do what I have to do to keep on grinding and finish the season strong."
After a rocky, three-inning, eight-run performance at Oakland on June 15, Nuno had pitched better of late for New York, posting a 3.71 ERA in his last three starts.
"I was just trying to find my [release point]," Nuno said. "The last two starts I found it, and I proceeded on."
Nuno will pitch against Marlins southpaw Brad Hand, who is making his second start since coming off the 15-day disabled list with a right ankle sprain. He has a 6.21 ERA in 29 innings this year -- 14 relief appearances and three starts.
In the brief time Nuno has been with the D-backs, he's already made a positive impression.
"Talked to him, asked him about his pitches," manager Kirk Gibson said. "Told him to get with his catchers. He's a good kid, good attitude. Talking to him, he's pretty excited about being here."
Added Nuno: "It's a thrill. Just trying to introduce myself to everybody."
Marlins: Hand on deck for Tuesday
Hand is coming off a solid five-inning, three-run performance Thursday, but he's looking to pitch deeper this time around.
"I felt pretty good," said Hand, who took a no-decision against the Phillies. "First inning, I ran into a little bit of trouble. I had some deep counts, threw a lot of pitches. But other than that, I felt it was all right. Just got to get through the sixth next time with no runs."
Hand had pitched mainly out of the bullpen this year before his DL stint, but he said he hasn't been bothered by the transition to the starting rotation.
"I've always been a starter," Hand said. "I've been a starter all the way up through the Minor Leagues, so I think it's easy going this way rather than going to starter to bullpen.
"In my rehab starts, I was starting down there. So I had five or six starts where I got into the sixth, seventh. So I've been stretched out, been in those innings before, so that's not an issue."
D-backs: Arroyo to have Tommy John surgery
The D-backs learned Monday that they'll be without right-hander Bronson Arroyo for some time.
Arroyo will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Before landing on the disabled list June 16, he had never missed a start in his 15-year big league career.
Arroyo said he believe he injured the UCL on May 13 against the Nationals. He made six starts after that, using pain medication to get through. He tried to rest his arm for a few weeks to avoid the surgery, but he couldn't get his arm back to where it needed to be.
"I fired it up the last three days and I could throw 120 feet and I could probably go out there and pitch, but it just won't come back fast enough," Arroyo said. "So I'd have to pitch every 10 days and take nine days to get it healthy. It just wasn't going to work."
Worth noting
• Injured D-backs outfielder Mark Trumbo has moved from the rookie Arizona League to Triple-A Reno as he continues his rehabilitation from a stress fracture in his left foot. D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said Trumbo could return to the active roster right after the All-Star break.
• The Marlins acquired Double-A right-hander Matt Ramsey from the Rays on Monday. In return, the Marlins traded three international bonus slots to the Rays.

Premiere: February 21, 1998
The operatic story loosely based on Dumas's novel La Dame aux Camélias about the sick courtesan Violetta and her vain desire to extricate herself from the conventions of society has been tugging at audiences' heartstrings for more than 150 years. Verdi's moving music romantically idealises Violetta's ill-fated love for Alfredo and addresses the spectator not only with its theatrical eff ectiveness but also, and primarily, profound and emotive lyrics.
The opera is staged in Italian original version and Czech and English surtitles are used in the performance.

Duration of the performance: 2 hours and 40 minutes, 2 intermissions

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. Certain mosquito-borne viruses can lead to encephalitis. Examples of these viruses include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The most common cause is being bitten by an infected mosquito. There are other, rarer causes, such having a blood transfusion with infected blood.
The greatest risk factors are spending time in areas where mosquitoes are present and not using insect repellent.
People who are age 50 years and older and those with a weakened immune system have a higher risk of developing serious symptoms.
Most people who become infected with one of these mosquito-borne viruses do not develop any symptoms.
If symptoms do occur, they are generally mild and may include flu-like symptoms, such as:
While rare, a small percentage of people develop encephalitis and have serious, life-threatening symptoms, such as:
In addition to taking your medical history and doing a physical exam, your doctor will ask you:
A blood test is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis of a mosquito-borne virus. Depending on the symptoms that you have, your doctor may order other tests, such as:
Treatment focuses on supportive care, such as taking pain-relieving medications and replenishing fluids so that you are not dehydrated.
Severe symptoms require hospitalization, which may include:
The best way to reduce your chances of getting mosquito-borne viral encephalitis is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Steps that can help include:
Mosquitoes can contract viruses by biting infected birds. If you see a dead bird, call the public health department. Do not touch the dead bird unless you are wearing disposable gloves.

This gastronomic haven at Berg Castle in Nennig, not far from the Luxembourg border on the Upper Moselle, is where three-star Michelin chef Christian Bau enchants guests with innovative and exquisite taste sensations.
Over the last three years, Bau has developed a fascinating culinary signature. His cuisine is as inventive as his new restaurant concept Carte Blanche, which replaces the traditional menu with a series of personalised surprises. Inspired by his study of Asian and in particular Japanese cooking, he has gradually incorporated these flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques into his repertoire. Bau brings Asian sensitivity to haute cuisine ingredients and creates his own signature bau.stil.by marrying the two, elevating the flavour nuances to a higher plane or creating totally new taste sensations. His exciting approach to ingredients and flavours has made him one of the most important exponents of the New German School, and his food appeals equally to experienced and novice gourmets.
In his goose liver. seaweed. matsutake. Bau constructs a completely new realm of flavours by combining matsutake mushroom and sudachi with goose liver, which is recontextualised with a mantle of seaweed. Other signature dishes are artichoke. structures. parmesan. Jabugo bellota. herbs.,a delicate taste and textural declination of the Breton artichoke, and turbot. sweet. sour. spicy. salty.,in which Bau shuns traditional sauces and uses defined flavour accents to present the fish in different lights.

As I have said often, the 50 day in the shortest moving average method that should be used. I feel that traders would be better using a longer moving average to determine trend.We track 29 trading plans and provide Daily Signals for 53 Indexes in our Daily Trading Signal Service We monitor trading signals for 53 Indexes at www.seleznovcapitaladvisors.com You may also sign up for our Free Weekly Commentary at the top right of our home page at www.seleznovcapitaladvisors.comSystem Trader's and Market Timing traders may use the 50 day Simple Moving Average as their trading plan. The 50 day moving average is basic technical analysis. It is a good market timing trading plan for active trading in indexes and ETF's that have trend following characteristics. It can produce disastrous results if used for every stock index, ETF, or stock.Other widely followed moving averages are the 100 day moving average and the 200 day moving average. Some money managers will use these moving averages with a shorter moving average and use the cross of the shorter moving average above or below the longer moving average to generate trading signals. The Wall Street Journal displays the 65 day moving average in their charts. The goal of two moving averages and even 3 moving averages is to eliminate whipsaws that often occur with moving averages as a technical analysis indicator.Why should you care about the signals produced with the 50 day moving average? There are so many people using the 50 day moving average, that we will often see extreme volatility in indexes when they cross both above and below the 50 day moving average.The below table shows the current 50 day simple moving average condition on the 50 most actively traded ETF's.Security Name Trend2 Ticker Barclays High Yield Bond Stay Short JNK BRIC IShares Stay Short BKF Coal Power Shares Stay Long PKOL DB Commodity Index Stay Long DBC Diamond Trust DOW Stay Long DIA Energy Select SPDR Stay Long XLE Internet Holders Stay Long HHH IPath India Index Stay Short INP IShare Russell 2000 Stay Long IWM IShares 25 Index Stay Short FXI IShares Australia Stay Long EWA IShares Basic Materials Stay Long IYM IShares DJ Real Estate Stay Short IYR Ishares DJ Transportation Stay Long IYT Ishares Emerging Markets Stay Short EEM IShares Financial Sector Stay Long IYF IShares Germany Stay Long EWG IShares Hong Kong Stay Short EWH IShares Latin America New Short ILF IShares Mexico Stay Long EWW IShares Mid Cap 400 Stay Long IJH IShares MSCI EAFE Stay Long EFA IShares MSCI Japan Stay Long EWJ IShares Pacific ex Japan Stay Long EPP IShares S&P 500 Growth Stay Long IVW Ishares S&P Small Cap 600 Stay Long IJR IShares Silver Stay Long SLV IShares South Africa Stay Long EZA IShares South Korea Stay Long EWY IShares Taiwan Stay Long EWT IShares United Kingdom Stay Long EWU NDX 100 Stay Long QQQQ Oil Service Holders Stay Long OIH Pharmaceutical Holders Stay Long PPH PowerShares US Dollar Index Stay Long UUP Russia Stay Long RSX RYDEX S&P 500 Equal Weight Stay Long RSP S&P 500 Stay Long SPY Semiconductor Holders Stay Long SMH SPDR Consumer Descretionary Stay Long XLY SPDR Consumer Staples Stay Long XLP SPDR Gold Shares Stay Long GLD SPDR Healthcare Stay Long XLV SPDR Industrial Sector Stay Long XLI SPDR International Real Estate Stay Short RWX SPDR Materials Stay Long XLB SPDR Metal & Mining Stay Long XME SPDR Mid Cap Stay Long MDY SPDR S&P Homebuilders Stay Long XHB SPDR Technology Stay Long XLK Steel Market Vector Stay Long SLX US Oil Stay Long USO Wisdom Tree Total Dividend Stay Long DTD

WFP operations in Domiz Refugee Camp, northern Iraq (For The Media)
WFP started a voucher programme in Domiz camp in northern Iraq in November and is currently providing 30,000 Syrians in Domiz camp with food vouchers worth US$31 per person, per month. Food vouchers can be redeemed against a list of items, including fresh produce, and because they are spent in local shops they provide a boost for the local economy.

What do you think of the
Yakima Universal Mighty Mount - Set of 4
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Is the weight limit for these mounts paired with the High Roller really 30lbs? The high roller directly mounted to the Yakima round bars has a 50 lb limit. My mtb is hovering around 31 lbs so like not sure I want to strap 3k to the roof if the limit is that close.
Great product! They worked well with my aero bars and my ski rack. The only thing that could be changed is how easy it is to take them off of the car. I fixed this by adding nuts in place of the plastic pieces.
Snowboards in Colorado
These work great! I attached my fiance's snowboard/ski rack from his old Jeep to my Mariner with these. No complaints; it gets the job done!
needs a locking mechanism
others have pointed this out! C'mon yakima, you can do better !! otherwise easy to install.
Ok if no other options
The roof rack on my wife's Rogue does not have any Yakima specific mounts, so we ordered these. They do work, but as someone else already stated, they do not lock, so someone could remove the rack with whatever gear is attached.
townie walker
I have a circular and flat crossbar/(standard...
I have a circular and flat crossbar/(standard FJ cruiser roofrack) will four of these do the trick in connecting my thule ski clamp on top?
Tim Bohlken
these will fit just about any cross bars. they do not offer a lot of security and are easily removed. if this is a concern get the exact fits from the dealer or from yakima.
Some real difficulties!
I only bought the Mighty Mounts after struggling to get the Yakima Hully rollers installed on my Rav4 (unsuccessfully) and after a couple of e-mails to Yakima, where they finally told me what else I needed. When the Mighty Mounts arrived, it was like putting together a puzzle, but we finally figured out which pieces went together, and boxed up the dozens more that we didn't need. THEN came the challenge of getting the Hully Rollers to work with the Mighty Mounts! The whole thing is probably safe enough (we haven't lost the kayak yet) but it's hard to believe that these pieces were meant to work together.
universal mighty mounts
I purchased the universal mighty mounts to secure four yakima landshark racks to my vehicle. The mounts work great. Keep in mind that a set of four (one box) will only supply enough equipment to mount two land shark racks when four are needed to place a canoe or kayak on your vehicle. Great product. Easy to put together. Backcountry exceeded my expectations on quick shipping and easy transaction.
Glen from Wyoming.

Functional, but not confidence-inspiring
I would have said 3 stars for "adequate" but they get a "pretty cool" rating because they do attach to nearly any crossbar. I attached my Yakima Raptor bike holder with the mounts, and it worked fine. However, they weren't confidence-inspiring in that they didn't fit as snuggly as factory-specific mounts. Never got that death grip on the crossbar I was hoping for. Still, I drove over 500 miles, most of which at 80mph, with a 30lbs Niner on the roof and everything stayed put.
Used to mount my Yakima Crossbars
With a minor adjustment (different bolts) I was able to mount my Yakima crossbars to my factory racks on my Toyota Sienna Van. Now I can easily carry 2 eightteen foot canoes side by side and easily remove the crossbars when not in use. Saved my the cost of ordering four new feet to attach to the factory rack.
What is the weight limit with these things...

BMW 3 Series bike roof rack can be mounted on Toyota RAV4
I just purchased a 2008 Toyota RAV4 and wanted to use the bicycle roof rack that I already owned, and was using, on my 2006 BMW 3 Series. These universal mounts worked fine on the RAV4 for my application without any drilling or other modification of my original equipment (except for easily removing the mounting brackets on the bike rack rails specific to the BMW). This saved me considerable expense by not having to purchase another bicycle roof rack specific to the Toyota. And I have the flexibility of using the same rack on both vehicles.
I would recommend these mounts as they seem to have a design that would work in most applications.
Hullo there, I am trying to do the same thing ( I think ) but cannot see how you managed to get the Mightymount clips to connect to a non yakima product. I just sold my BMW 3 series touring with roofrails and I am left with my Thule set of cross bars and bike carriers.Any help would be appreciated.
Great, but
They work, but anyone can unscrew them and steal the bike or ski rack they're attaching to the roof racks, thus your bike or skis! There needs to be an attachment that locks to the roof rack.
Justin Mool
Easy to use, great.
These things are great. Once you get it on your car, it's a cinch to take on and off.
I have a 06 Impreza and it was really easy to mount these onto my factory rack. After you get it on the first time, you can take on/off in about 2 minutes, which is great if you want to improve your gas mileage.
Work Great
I purchased a camper shell that came with a off brand rack. The Universal Mighty Mount fit the bars and I was able to mount a ski carrier. Very happy with the product!
Good product
good product, easy to use, inexpensive. overall a good purchase if you have any sort of factory rack.

Mighty Mounts are Mighty Indeed
Great universal mounts. Were easy to install and work like a charm. Definitely get the optional SKS core housing to lock them! Great stuff.
Great Product
The Universal Mighty Mounts are really great! Solidly built and easy to install with my Hully Rollers. They come with two sizes of mounts so that they will fit almost any cross bar. Once you get them set up, they are super easy to mount and remove, so you do not have to leave them on the car when you do not need them.
Worth the money
I decided to buy the mounts despite the negative reviews I read. Assembly was a little time consuming due to height of my truck but worth the effort. I installed them on my Nissan Xterra to transport my bikes. The trip from Montréal Qc to Clearwater, FL and back went without any problems. Anyone who has concerns about the sturdiness of this product shouldn't. Driving through a tornado watch in Georgia and rain and high winds in Pennsylvania did even budge the bikes.
W. Morrison
Not as easy to install as I thought
I purchased the universal Mighty Mount package thinking that it might be an affordable way to use my old Yakima racks.(1994) The tool provided did not fit the nuts that are required for installation. The directions are a little vague on how to mount the ski racks once the mounts are attached to the vehicle. (It doesn't state any instructions) I went to the website for help, but no luck. I had to use my own parts to attach the ski rack to the mounts because my rack has these large wing-type nuts that aren't compatible with the Mighty Mounts (no clearance)
I haven't test drove the rack yet, but it seems secure.

Fact of the day
Information is the most powerful weapon.
Fact N°
The order of succession to the British throne is a list almost 5,000 people long.
In England, succession to the throne is a matter of familial descent, but also of law; the Act of Settlement of 1701 conferred onto Parliament the duties of determining who gets the title to the throne.
The current royals' website lists the 40 people in line behind Queen Elizabeth II, but in fact, the list is tediously long, running to almost 5,000 names as of 2001.
Fact N°
About every 12 minutes, someone is injured by a toilet.
That's according to the book Number Freaking, by Gary Rimmer, who neglects to cite his source but puts the figure at 45,000 Americans injured this way annually.
While it's often a subject laughed about, there are many ways to hurt yourself around a toilet, from slipping on a wet bathroom floor to a variety of bruises or broken bones from sitting down when the seat is up. And, urban legends aside, it's not uncommon to die on the toilet, perhaps from the exertion, which may strain an already frail body, or simply because it's a place we visit several times a day.
Fact N°
A devious Chicago bartender is likely the origin and namesake of "slipping a Mickey."
Although there isn't complete agreement, most sources tie the term "to slip a Mickey," meaning to put something into someone's drink, presumably to knock them out, to a Chicago bartender at the turn of the century named Mickey Finn.
According to contemporary accounts, Finn had a fondness for putting was what presumably chloral hydrate into the drinks he served so that his patrons would pass out -- and he could rob them.
Fact N°
Augustus the Strong fathered as many as 350 children.
Augustus, the powerful 18th century Elector of Saxony and King of Poland in the Habsburg empire, was a great patron of art and architecture who had an enormous appetite for just about everything, including the newly created European porcelain (from which he commissioned an entire zoo of porcelain animals) and sex.
Although Augustus himself only recognized eight of his illegitimate children, historians have made estimates on the total number of his offspring which run as high as 382.
Fact N°
Insect repellents use an odor to make it hard for insects to find you.
One of the most common active ingredients found in insect repellents is oil of citronella, which has a distinctive odor that masks the CO2 and lactic acid that insects can smell in order to find humans. It is used in liquid products like bug spray as well as in the likes of candles you light to keep bugs away. In other words, these repellents don't really repel at all, they conceal.
Fact N°
No one has ever swallowed his tongue.
Often misapplied to people in the midst of seizures, physiologically the term "swallow your tongue" is a misnomer: because of the way it is anchored in the mouth, it is physically impossible to actually swallow your own tongue.
Rather, the term likely applies to the danger of choking to death if the tongue is allowed to block the airways.
Fact N°
Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Interstate System was not designed to accommodate emergency airplane landings.
Of the many popular myths surrounding the U.S. interstate highway system, one particularly widespread one claims that "One in five miles of the interstate system is straight so airplanes can land in emergencies."
But the U.S. Department of Transportation's web site adamantly disputes this, saying it "has no basis in law, regulation, design manual -- or fact. Airplanes occasionally land on Interstates when no alternative is available in an emergency, not because the Interstates are designed for that purpose."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Elston Turner scored 28 points and Ray Turner 16 to help Texas A&M to a 74-56 win over South Carolina on Saturday night in the first-ever meeting between the new Southeastern Conference foes.
The Aggies trailed by two points early in the second half before using a big run to take a 46-36 lead. South Carolina couldn't get anything going on offense for the first 10 minutes after halftime en route to just over 29-percent shooting in the second half.
The victory broke a two-game skid for Texas A&M (17-12, 7-9), and was the ninth loss in 10 games for South Carolina (13-16, 3-13).
Michael Carrera's 16 points led the Gamecocks and Bruce Ellington added 10 points.

Davey Johnson started the "World Series or Bust" hysteria in December.
Asked to make their MLB season predictions, four of seven baseball experts from Sports Illustrated picked the Nationals to win the World Series. A fifth picked them to reach the Fall Classic.
Three of four experts from Yahoo! Sports concurred: The Nationals will win the World Series.
And over at ESPN, 16 of 43 experts picked the Nats to win it all, 29 of 43 picked them to reach the Series, 38 of 43 picked them to win the NL East and all 43 picked them to at least reach the playoffs.
Talk about pressure, huh?
"Hey, it's better than being picked last, isn't it?" Davey Johnson mused last week from the dugout at Space Coast Stadium when informed how nearly every major publication out there has tabbed his team as the sport's preseason favorite.
Johnson, of course, has never shied away from the spotlight. If anything, the overly lofty expectations placed on the Nationals this season were ignited by their 70-year-old manager, who at the Winter Meetings in December declared the team's new mantra: "World Series or Bust."
Ever since, the Nationals have been the darlings of national media outlets, scouts and Vegas oddsmakers, all of them convinced D.C. will be home to baseball's best team in 2013. It's enough to make your head swell and chest puff out, but within the clubhouse, that doesn't appear to be a problem.

After reading Boswell's column in the wapo today, I urge the Lerner family to lock up Mike Rizzo long term before some other organization tries to steal him from us. Make no mistake, Rizzo is the glue that holds our "expectations" together. Rizzo is the Nats MVP (Most Valuable Person).
- NatsLady - Mar 31, 2013 at 10:29 PM

The Washington Nationals are everyone's pick to win the World Series. Thanks for writing it out like that, Mark. I can hardly believe I'm actually reading and comprehending those words. This season will be so much fun. Thank God the offseason is just about over. See you all at the park tomorrow and go Nats!

- Rich P. - Mar 31, 2013 at 11:32 PM
This was Boswell's annual "The Lerners better not be penny wise and pound foolish, or they'll destroy the franchise" column. Let's review the history.2009: The Lerners better not be too cheap to extend Zimmerman.2009, part 2: The Lerners better not screw up the Strasburg signing.2010: The Lerners better not screw up the Harper signing.2011: If they don't extend Zimmerman NOW, he'll leave as a FA after the 2012 season.2012: Repeat 2011.And how many times did Boswell's assertion that the Lerners would destroy things by being cheap actually come true? None.This year he's worried that the Lerners might let Rizzo get away. It ain't gonna happen. Boswell has never liked the Lerners, and his repeated attempts to manufacture anti-Lerner sentiment out of whole cloth are the Achilles' Heel in his otherwise excellent writing.
- NatsLady - Mar 31, 2013 at 11:33 PM
They just showed RZ's walkoff at the opening of Nats Park. Ranked it as No. 24 of "Opening Day Moments."
- NatsLady - Mar 31, 2013 at 11:36 PM
Rich P==> I don't know whether Boz's columns that you mention reflectg dislike of the Lerners or attempts to influence them. Nevertheless, it does seem like Boz butting into things that are really not his business. I don't think there is a Nats fan alive who doesn't appreciate the job Mike Rizzo has done, and that includes Mark Lerner.
- baseballswami - Mar 31, 2013 at 11:43 PM
NatsLady- it certainly was my number one! Watching Game one, forgot how bad Gio looked. Walked four in an inning, all over the place, WP a run in. Pulled it together, but….. Drew has gotten so much ink for faltering, but Gio was not exactly consistent. I have apparently blocked out the negative things.

- baseballswami - Mar 31, 2013 at 11:55 PM
True!! So much of the discussion centered around Drew, but looking back and watching, it's obvious that many Nats were not at their best. He was just the last man standing.

Too much hype. If the Nats don't win the World Series their season will be considered a let down or even a failure according to most. Remember the Atlanta team that won, what, 13 straight division but just one W.S. I prefer a little more reality and the season will be that much more enjoyable. If they even win 92 games, that, in my book, is a good year!

I don't know if better is the word," LaRoche said. "But I think we're more well-rounded now."Wow, what a Dis to Michael Morse.got news for you, LaRoche, you're the one they should have let go; furthermore, when something is more rounded, doesn't mean it's better. One usually has to lose mass in order to 'round'something down. And the Nats lost too much fire power in the Morse/Span thing — the Nats gave up too much for a .265 avg stealing a net 10 bases a year — the Nats will pay the price for that fiasco

Tomorrow can't come soon enough. Time to put the predictions away and start playing real baseball. Like to see Strasburg throw 7 strong innings and have Drew and Soriano close out the win.Go Nats!!

I am excited, but realistic also. Baseball is a game with so very much imperfection. First loss, Zim error, Harper 0-fer, Stras wild pitch and the Legion of Doom version 2.0 will be screaming for Rizzo's blood. May I break out the honorary " It's a marathon , not a sprint."? Go Nats!!!!!!!

Atta way, JMAX!
- Candide - Apr 1, 2013 at 1:29 AM
JMax, admire your shots AFTER they go over the wall.
- baseballswami - Apr 1, 2013 at 1:33 AM
JMax was always able to find a clutch hit, but at times seems a bit empty headed.
- baseballswami - Apr 1, 2013 at 1:36 AM
Game one. Zim throw– his shoulder was not working at all. Had we gone deeper into the playoffs, he would have had to kick the ball to first. Funny how things look months later.

I think we've got 99 wins in us this year. Barring major pitching injuries. And I hope we play loose in the playoffs. If we steal a WS this year I truly believe a couple more will quickly follow. If we don't win it this year, pressure ramps up.

Gio's playoff performances were representative of why the Nats lost the series. Their rotation was their most consistent strength throughout the season and apart from Det, it was their weakest feature in the playoffs. All about inexperience and falling below their standard from the regular season, why there's no point in picking "if only" X hadn't happened, and why it should be different next time around.

Experience is the best teacher.
- NCNatsie - Apr 1, 2013 at 2:12 AM
Nats Lady, one other interesting thing on your OPS table is the BABIP column, where Espi is not 8th best, but at .333 first among all the players listed. That certainly says that if he can cut down on the strikeouts (without compromising anything else, of course) he can be tremenduly productive.
- Drew - Apr 1, 2013 at 2:25 AM
Ankiel! Ex-Nats rule. Go get 'em, Bo!
- Oldguy - Apr 1, 2013 at 2:32 AM
Good for Rick! Young 'Stros starting well!
- NatsLady - Apr 1, 2013 at 2:33 AM
NCNatsie, good point on the BABIP. Not only speed, but also if Espy can spray in all directions they can't use a shift on him.

God I hope the Nat's look better than they played vs NY at the exhibition game. Zimms dirtball throws during the preseason and Denards weak tosses from the OF concern me
- NatsLady - Apr 1, 2013 at 2:56 AM
Texas is not fielding well. You have to feel Espy would have got that.

2 trips for J-Max!
- John C. - Apr 1, 2013 at 3:00 AM
Trolls gotta troll, but they can't fight Opening day. The day counter is down to zero, and I'll be in section 116 tomorrow afternoon rooting for the Nationals. Let's Geaux, Nats!
- Drew - Apr 1, 2013 at 3:08 AM
Congratulations Bo Porter!
- SonnyG10 - Apr 1, 2013 at 3:10 AM
Congrats to Bo Porter, JMax, and Rick Ankiel on their first win.

Here's the problem when your team is the frontrunner. Tomorrow Stephen Strasburg gives up 4 runs in 5 innings and the Nationals lose 7-1 to possibly the worst team in baseball.The world will seem like it's coming to an end.But it was in 2009 that the Marlins last played the Nationals on Opening Day and smoked them 12-6 with Emilio Bonafacio going 4-5 with 2 RBI.I came away from that game telling me wife, "Cool, Adam Dunn hit his first homer as a National!"When your team is expected to lose, the game internals are what makes you happy. Wow, Lannan looked good. Hey, Dukes is showing some power.But today, all that matters is the win. And if the Astros can win then the Nationals can lose. Man …. I was far more comfortable against the Cubs on Opening Day last year.My prediction (I obviously got over my week-kneed willies):Stephen Strasburg pitched six shutout innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out 8 as the Nationals beat the Marlins 5-1 as Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman each drove in a pair of runs. Drew Storen came in the 8th inning and struggled, but allowed no runs. Rafael Soriano pitched a perfect 9th for his first save as a National.Good luck Nationals. Don't screw this up!Farid @ Idaho

Farid, I can't see myself ever getting to where I can only enjoy a game if the Nats win.I'm not sure that's really what you're saying. Even if it is, that's cool, because it takes all kinds.Either way, we're gonna have a heck of a run, and I'll be glad to watch it with you.
- Scooter - Apr 1, 2013 at 5:25 AM
By the way, let's all take a moment to appreciate your Major League leaders in runs, triples, homers, and RBIs.
- tayo - Apr 1, 2013 at 6:07 AM
@ Steve HayesLaroche's comment was NOTa diss to Michael Morse at all. If anything, he was consciously doing his best to acknowledge Morse's talent hence him saying that we are well rounded rather than saying we are better this year.
- Mark P - Apr 1, 2013 at 10:41 AM
To quote Davey, "Bring 'em on!"He's taught this club not to be afraid of high expectations. He "boldly" predicted that this club would go to the playoffs prior to last season.

New month, new post. See y'all over there.
