The London 2012 Summer Olympics are right around the corner, and soon most of the planet will be caught up in the breath-taking athleticism of the world's very best. Though the Olympics are technically a sporting event, they transcend traditional entertainment to become a spectacle of human endurance, willpower, skill, strength... It would take us a while just to cover the basics, so we'll leave it there.
In honor of the London 2012 Olympics, we're running a survey on some of the greatest moments in recent Olympics history, the greatest Olympics-themed movies, and a few other related topics. Make sure to check out our 8-Question Quick Poll and see what other people think!

- freakoutnow... cuz mom's here 2012/07/07 07:57:04Atlanta 1996The fondest memories of watching the Olympics I have come from the 96' Olympics. The 92' Olymics was cool because of the greatest basketball team ever assembled, the original dream team, kicking butt. Los Angeles and Moscow are Olympics that are hard to rate because of the politics of the Olympics in those. The 1988 Olympics were largely forgettable. The Sydney Olympics had the best opening ceremonies (followed not too far behind by Atlanta) and Sydney and is a beautiful city. Athens was cool but it's not as memorable as some of the other Olympics with the exception of returning back to the home of the original Olympics. Beijing is memorable being that it was the last Olympics held at the moment. So I'd say the order from best to worst Olympics of the last THIRTY TWO (32) YEARS were: 96, 92, 00', 08', 84' 04', 88', 80'. This questions author needs to brush up on simple mathmatics cuz 1980 is 32 years ago instead of 30 years ago so the question should read ''What was the best Olympics of the last 32 years''.

Of course, the shoot-out at the Airport; and all of that; should be forgotten; that was just some stupid-ass, selfish Islamic Muslims trying to be somebody in a World that they don't belong to live at all; but I am not talking about that. No politics. Just Jim McKay, and Howard Cosell, and ABC Sports, produced by Roone Arledge. Now days I might watch the fastest man alive (100 Meter Dash) but as far as any of the other events go; I don't really care about it.

Beijing was definitely my favorite, I was glued to the TV watching Kerri Walk and Misty May-Treanor anytime they had a match! Watching them win the gold was a memory I'll always have!!!
Plus, the opening and closing ceremony were very spectacular. Of course, China is able to spend as much money as needed because they don't really care about overspending on that when they can just take money from other places for it. - Grant Straka 2012/07/06 01:44:49Los Angeles 1984

+1One of Carter's dumbest mistakes and also one of the final straws in forming my dislike of the Olympic movement. The arrogance of Carter to meddle in the lives of those who largely succeeded on their own, without govt help or involvement.
But it was an Olympics and deserves inclusion. Most of the world competed. -

Najmudeen, T M and Victor, A C C (2004) Seed production and juvenile rearing of the tropical abalone Haliotis varia Linnaeus 1758. Aquaculture, 234 (1-4). pp. 277-292.
| PDF 431Kb |
Spawning, larval and juvenile rearing of the tropical abalone Haliotis varia L. were studied. Brood stock abalone were induced to spawn by exposure to air for 2 h at 27 °C. Female abalone spawned a mean of 76,530 eggs. Fertilised eggs measured 180 μm in diameter. Seventy percent survival was obtained during larval rearing. Larvae passed trochophore, veliger, gliding and creeping stages and were induced to settle on a mat of diatoms containing Nitszchia sp. and Navicula sp. The larval rearing period of H. varia ranged from 4 to 6 days at 27 °C. The settled spat vigorously fed on the diatom mat until the 50th day of postfertilisation and coralline red algal film, until the 70th day of postfertilisation. First respiratory pore was formed on the 27th day of postfertilisation. Juvenile abalones were reared on three algal diets such as coralline red algae, green filamentous algae and Ulva lactuca from the 71st to 200th day of postfertilisation. Those fed with coralline algae showed best and consistent growth. Shell colour of juveniles was affected by diet. The present study on the production of juveniles in the hatchery is a baseline information to initiate abalone aquaculture in India and to help augment the natural population.

I pray I'm seated onstage for the next play by the aptly named DAVID HARROWER, the Times-hosannahed author of the sex-abuse psychodrama Blackbird. Harrower told Playbill's HARRY HAUN that he's working on a play about sex, the Enlightenment, and philosopher David Hume, tentatively called Flesh Market, after a historic area of Edinburgh. "One of the great things about Edinburgh," Harrower explained, "is its Jekyll-and-Hyde nature. Even as they're philosophizing, they're getting their cock sucked." Sounds more like Jekyll and Hide-the-Salami.
And suddenly it was 1 a.m., and since most of my friends are now grown-ups, I had to wake them up and force them to go clubbing. At Kino 41, the kookiest dance party in town, DANGEROUS MUSE performed electropop with dangerously moussed hair while, in the crowd, AMANDA LEPORE introduced people to her "old man" (her new 19-year-old boyfriend). The night's DJ, MARK MOORE, got raves for his thumpy blend of everything from THE EURYTHMICS to THE GOSSIP, and though cohost KENNY KENNY loved him, it's certainly not because the guy's British. "I hate the British!" Kenny told me, wincing. "I'm Irish! But he's a great, high-energy DJ from the Heaven days. Google him!"
Instead I blog-searched the Gossip and learned that they're not a new ghetto-house band starring CINDY, LIZ, and RICHARD JOHNSON. They're a Portland, Oregon group fronted by lesbian powerhouse BETH DITTO, and it just so happened they were having a party the next night at Mr. Black. There, in between posing with the waiter's bare assa house traditionDitto told me she'd pulled up in a stretch limo earlier that night to have a truly exquisite mealchicken fingers at McDonald's! After that, she and her posse saw Hairspray, "and I almost cried four times. My makeup isn't waterproof, so I had to keep the tears back in my eyeballs." Is she aware that TRAVOLTA's starring in the movie? "Yes," she beamed. "You must keep an open mind. Maybe you never would have put that in a sandwich yourself, but when you taste it, you say, 'Wow, that's a delicious sandwich.' " Yeah, pure ham!
And now I'm going to do exactly what J. LO did after instructing the American Idol contestants to sing from the heart and intimately connect with a song. I'm going to scream out a number with exploding smoke bombs, fiery screen projections, and eight backup girls in silver lamé jackets! (While standing perfectly erect.)

The Teacher's Role When Tragedy Strikes
Healing for students begins in the classroom
Harold S. Koplewicz, MD
Child Mind Institute
When death intrudes in the lives of children in a school community, the classroom is one of the key settings in which kids will experience grief and anxiety, and struggle to come to terms with their feelings.
I wish I could give you words that would protect the youngsters in your class from grief and fear. But since that's not possible, I offer some thoughts and guidelines, based on my experience, to help you help them process their feelings in a healthy way.
When a tragedy involves a school community—especially when the lives of students or teachers are lost—it's likely that it will be in the classroom where the loss may be felt most keenly. Some kids may be very uncomfortable with that awareness. That means it's particularly important for you to acknowledge the loss and give your students an opportunity to express their feelings about it.
Though there may be a school-wide meeting or service to address the event, for many children the classroom will be the most important setting for asking questions, sharing feelings, and offering memories. Studies have found that children are more able to get comfort from adults they know well, and even from other children, than from crisis experts who are not familiar to them. Studies also show that adults listening to children is more important in this kind of situation than knowing the perfect thing to say to them: A comfortable and safe setting where kids are allowed to be sad and upset and confused is the most valuable thing you can offer.
We recommend that you convene a group discussion, in whatever style is familiar to your kids, and let them know that you're sad, and many others are sad, and that when a tragedy happens and we lose friends and classmates, it's important to talk about how we feel and how we want to remember them. You should invite, but not force, questions, and answer them as simply as possible, in a developmentally appropriate way.
Since young children are egocentric, it's likely that some of your students will be worried about their own safety. Could the same thing happen to them? If it was a fire, reassure them that house fires are very rare in this day and age, and remind them about safety measures like fire drills that are taken in schools. If it was an act of violence, you can stress, again, efforts by their parents and teachers to make sure they are safe. If they ask questions you can't answer, it's okay to tell them you don't know.
After you've given them plenty of time to formulate their questions, express their feelings, and respond to each other, it's important to go back to your regular routine. That's not only because you're trying to model healthy resilience, but because routine is deeply comforting for children.
Keep in mind that the first time you talk about a tragic event that affects your children won't be the last time. Coming to terms with loss takes time, and will involve transitioning to positive ways to memorialize those who were lost, as a classroom and as a school. In your conversation (and subsequent ones) you can suggest ways the class might remember friends and classmates they miss: write stories about things you did together, draw pictures, plant trees, raise money to donate to children in need. It's helpful to remind children that a person continues to live on in the hearts and minds of others. And doing something that benefits other children not only helps them feel good about themselves, but helps them learn a very healthy way to respond to grief in the future.
Remember that, as with everything you do as a teacher, you are teaching, and modeling, and allowing children to devise for themselves ways to handle challenges in a positive way. It's a skill that will be as important in their lives as reading and writing, and worth your efforts to nurture when kids are in crisis.
Read about how parents can help their children cope with a tragedy that involves the loss of friends and classmates.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AshSam Stay is ok
This was my first time staying at any Aloft. I read reviews from other guests, and my expectation was not so high. The front desk staff are friendly, and cordial. Room is surprisingly comfortable, for a budget hotel. Bathroom is clean. It has one of those foot level air conditioner unit. I can imagine that it can be loud in operation, though I had not needed to use it during my stay. Another guest had made this complaint and I too want to make the same complaint. Why my stay credit was not posted automatically? I had to submit a request for a missing stay? All other stays at any SPG property were post automatically within couple days. Why???
This is a budget hotel. Having the right set of expectations, I would recommend this.

I had a one night stay & everything was as it should've been. The hotel was clean, staff polite & professional and my room was perfect.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Val21 It was just OK.
Over all it was just OK, as previously stated. The hotel was clean, the room was clean. The hotel is very nicely decorated and in a great location with ample parking. Very very very quiet area. We had requested a room with a king sized bed and instead ended up with a room that had two doubles. We were so tired as we had just flown in from Miami, we just dealt with it. The rooms are semi spacious however there really is no storage area for your clothing except for a very small area in the bathroom. No drawers. No coat hooks; it was quite disappointing not to have a place to hang our snow covered coats. . Only one hook to hang your towel in the bathroom. No toiletries were provided in the room at all. There was body wash dispenser and a shampoo/conditioner combo dispenser on the shower wall, however no other toiletries aside from that. One roll of toilet paper was provided (Im thankful I packed that extra roll) Lastly, the hotel offers room service, however it is outsourced to a local restaurant. The food was awful. Seemed as though it was pre-cooked and frozen. We are not picky eaters, for us to throw away an entire meal says a lot. It is not a bad hotel, however it could use its improvements. We allowed the hotel to speak for itself . . We did not complain to the front desk so we do not know if certain issues could have been corrected. We hope that based on our review, the hotel can continue to improve.

Rated 3 out of 5 by HTD1 Don't expect SPG Points
I've stayed here 4 times and each time I've had to write SPG to have my stay recognized and have the points added. SPG has given me the stays and points but why the hassle? One time they even listed a $450, 3 night stay as a points redemption. I stay at SPG hotels all the time (platinum) and this is the only hotel that where I've had this issue. As for the hotel, it's a typical Aloft. Nothing special.
January 19, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by jtraveler55 Hotel is fine but management is awful
We have stayed at the Aloft in Broomfield over NYE for the last few years and have always enjoyed our stay. That changed completely with our most recent stay with the new management. We were treated extremely poorly and with no respect by the manager, Talha Shabbir. If Talha remains the manager of this hotel we will not be returning.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JoeInNYC Not a happy customer
I have stayed at other Aloft locations (Aloft London) and I was verify satisfied with the level of service.
I really can't say the same about the Broomfield, CO location. On 2 occasions I purchased food from the breakfast bar to notice that the food had mold growing on it. I expect more from SPG brands.

Rated 3 out of 5 by David2116 Noise By Design
The music in the lobby was so loud that the desk staff couldn't hear me during check-in.
Honestly, does the hotel administration really think that people will choose another hotel if the music isn't loud enough?
The more likely is that people (like me) will never come back because the music is too loud.
December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EightLegs Exceptional Staff
The reason I rated the sleep at a 2 was because of the street light just outside of the window. I had requested rooms on the other side of the building because I had stayed on this side 235 and 237 before and was not thrilled with the location. On arrival I was told those were the best rooms.
On another note, Christine was phenomenal and April from the kitchen was as well. Both very personable, helpful and made the stay that much more worthwhile. I had my kids and dog with me and they totally went above and beyond to be welcoming and friendly - both deserve employee of the month treatment.
I also like the proximity between Denver and boulder where our activities were split over the two days. It is too bad most of the ALofts are airport centric because I would use it more frequently in otehr places

I have camped here before and I was the only camper in the park. This time the park filled up on the week-end. I had originally planned to stay for 9 days, but extended my stay to the maximum allowed, which is 14 days. It is very quiet here and the sites are spacious, level, have good water pressure and good voltage from the electric connection. It is a destination park, mostly used by the local campers. I will stay here again. - bones1941
This park is a seldom used County park. It has level sites for the most part. Some of them are shaded. It is adjacent to a little creek, and there seems to be a musty smell to the place. The electric meter in my coach showed 126 volts, which is a little high. The water pressure is good. There was one other camper in this park as of this writing. The signage to get to the park is very poor. There is a 14 day limit. I would stay here again. - bones1941
This park although only has pit toilets, is by far a very clean and up scale county park. The sites are large and for most part level. Each site has a large area with fire ring and picnic table. I will be staying there again - rving4fun

We booked our cruise through Thomas Cook on the Internet . The salesperson was efficient and was able to inform us of the various cabins and facilities available. We opted for the Aqua Class rooms and facilities and we were not disappointed.
There was champagne and fresh fruit on arrival. Fresh fruit , complimentary bottled water and canapes each day.
We used the aqua spa daily and enjoyed the heated mosaic beds with the breathtaking vista of the fjords as we cruised by. Access to the Persian Garden was free for Aqua Class guests. We had priority seating in the Blu Restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. The restaurant is managed efficiently by the Maitre d Jorges. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were waited on like kings and queens.
Staff in all areas were polite, attentive and helpful with all aspects of our needs during the cruise.
We also enjoyed dinning in the Ocean View restaurant, which was buffet style. the array of More
food was astounding and prepped and delivered in a clean and comfortable environment.
We enjoyed the days in port, but could have done with less time in Bergen and more time in Oslo in order to see the sights on offer. We opted to arrange our own transport to see the sights in Bergen and Oslo using the cities sightseeing tour buses. You will find that this is the cheapest option at '£15 per person.
Our cabin was beautiful and the stewards very attentive. We enjoyed the balcony. The ship is luxuriously appointed throughout and our favourite bar was the cocktail bar serving exceptional cocktails by the Liquid Chef, Junior. We enjoyed speciality coffees at Al Baccio's as well as the delicious ice creams. They cater for diabetics like myself with a selection of sugar free options.
Thank you to all the staff who made our holiday very memorable. We hope to return in the not so distant future. Thank You to the Captain who made the cruise a very pleasurable experience. To us it was a floating palace. Less

Cabin review: 071557
We were impressed by the layout. There was more than adequate room for two large cases and several bags of shoes and other essentials. The shower was excellent. We did not find the cabin noisy at all despite it being below the pool in the spa area as some reviews have stated. The staff were attentive on this deck. There was plenty of in cabin entertainment on the flat screen TV. The complementary toiletries were good. Complementary Iced tea each day was different. The mini bar was there if you needed it with a good selection of spirits wines and soft drinks.All in all we would happily return to this cabin. 1557 deck 11 Celebrity Eclipse.

Iron Prominent | Notodontidae |
Maps updated: April 2008 |
Notodonta dromedarius (Linnaeus, 1758)
Description: Wingspan 42-50mm. The forewings are generally dark brown with a small discal spot, a postmedial crossline which is often broken and outer margins which are suffused dark red. The hindwings are pale grey-brown with dark veining. The colouring is prone to variation with locality and very dark specimens are not uncommon.
Key Identification Features:
Sets: |
Flight Period: Beginning of May to mid-August.
Status: Common and widespread in southern counties but apparently scarce and more sporadic further north, although this may due to under recording.
Ecology: A species associated with a variety of habitats especially damp woodland, bogs and fens, where the foodplant is common. Adults come frequently to light in small numbers. The larvae can be found, usually exposed, on small, often isolated, birch Betula spp. trees between late May and the end of September. Additional foodplants include Alder Alnus glutinosa, oak Quercus spp. and Hazel Corylus avellana. It overwinters as a pupa.
World Distribution: Across central and northern Europe.

What an excellent day!
It's been a very busy day, but we've been so lucky with the weather and support from the public! We had over 100 people turn up to help out and managed to get every bulb planted in under 4 hours!
We were even concerned we'd run out early at one point, when we had a queue of people waiting to sign in! Some people stayed all day, bringing their picnics and enjoying the spring sunshine.
The weather was fantastic - we didn't expect to be worrying about keeping the chocolate biscuits from melting when we planned the event. :)
Thanks to all who came along for your support - our total's over £1000 now, with the cash and cheque donations yet to be reflected on the website.
The day has dawned - and what a lovely day!
Well, it's two years since we came up with the idea of doing this and we're finally here! Can't believe how much stuff we need, but have it all packed now and just need to get it all in the cars. (Yes, cars - it's that much stuff!) Not least to be pa...

Introducing our idea
We came up with the idea of creating a semi-permanent feature to raise awareness of the charity's work in 2010, not long after our group formed. It's taken a while to agree a concept with the council, but everyone's been really supportive and we're now re...

The first two months of 2013 have seen a flurry of activity relating to immigration reform. President Obama is pushing for comprehensive reform as are powerful factions within both the Senate and the House. And the political will and rising tide of opinion in favor of reform are making for unusual bedfellows, as exemplified by the recent joint statement of principles from the American Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO.
But in this same timeframe, lawmakers anxious to change current immigration law to create new pathways for entrepreneurs and highly educated immigrants have introduced a number of bills designed for this purpose, including the Immigration Innovation (I²) Act of 2013 introduced by Senators Hath, Klobuchar, Rubio and Coons and the Startup Act 3.0, introduced by Senators Moran, Warner and Coons. These bills contain many excellent provisions that make tremendous sense, addressing shortcomings and deficiencies in our current law. For example, the I² bill would significantly increase the H-1B cap and would exempt graduates of U.S. advanced degree programs from the cap. It would authorize employment for the spouses of H-1B workers and would make it easier for those workers to move from one company to another. It would also streamline the green card process and eliminate the enormous backlogs in the current system. The Startup Act 3.0 would provide a new and much-needed work visa for foreign entrepreneurs who can attract angel or venture funding to their new U.S. ventures.
Our immigration laws are so broken and outdated that only comprehensive reform will correct our course. And the lawmakers who have introduced bills such as I² and the Startup Act 3.0 clearly hope that their prescriptions for specific improvements will be incorporated into any final comprehensive bill. But should comprehensive reform prove elusive, at a minimum Congress should pass some version of these bills, to attract and retain the best and the brightest of our foreign students and entrepreneurs, and help to boost and strengthen the U.S. economy.

We report an in situ transmission electron microscopy study on the epitaxial growth of CoSi2 on Si(111) from a 10-nm-thick amorphous mixture of Co and Si in the ratio 1:2 which was formed by codeposition of Co and Si near room temperature. Nuclei of CoSi2 are observed in the as-deposited film. These nuclei are epitaxial and extend through the whole film thickness. Upon annealing, these columnar epitaxial CoSi2 grains grow laterally at temperatures as low as 50 °C. The kinetics of this lateral epitaxial growth was studied at temperatures between 50 and 150 °C. The activation energy of the growth process is 0.8±0.1 eV.

Forty Under 40
BY Advocate Contributors
April 07 2010 5:00 AM ET
Vincent Jones
34 / Los Angeles
Senior program officer, Liberty Hill Foundation
Liberty Hill Foundation was founded in 1976 on the premise that there were many organizations dedicated to various social changes, but one thing all those groups needed was cash to reach their goals. Groups seeking grants go through a rigorous application process, which is largely the responsibility of Vincent Jones. Jones has worked on a number of gay initiatives, including a Liberty-funded voter education program to help fight California's Proposition 8. He also works with Lambda Legal, Camp Courage, and the National Teen Leadership Program, creating initiatives to inspire more African-Americans to get involved in social justice philanthropy. As a young man, "several youth programs helped me hone certain skills, realize my potential, get connected to a positive peer network and to think about things I've never thought about before," Jones says. "If more teens access those types of experiences, we'll have a better world."
Larkin Mackey & Joshua McBride
36, 34 / Los Angeles
Restaurateurs, Larkin's and Mac & Cheeza
Boyfriends and business partners Larkin Mackey and Joshua McBride became the toast—er, cornbread—of Los Angeles's Eagle Rock neighborhood when they opened Larkin's, a "contemporary soul food joint," in 2007. "I was never really scared," Mackey says of diving headfirst into the restaurant business despite never having run a professional kitchen. "I figured it couldn't be rocket science." McBride had Mackey's back: "He is an amazing chef, and I knew he could rock it out, but also knew he needed my help." They transformed a ramshackle house into a homey restaurant lauded by foodie blogs, magazines, and Pulitzer Prize–winning restaurant critic Jonathan Gold. The pair has struck comfort food gold again with a new chain of takeout restaurants called Mac & Cheeza, a customizable mac and cheese bar, in downtown L.A. and Bakersfield, with more locations coming soon.
Ireen Wüst
24 / Goirle, Netherlands
Olympic medalist, speed skating
The media spotlight on 19-year-old Ireen Wüst was pretty intense in Turin in 2006, when she became the youngest Dutch athlete ever to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics—for the 3,000-meter long track speed skating event. But that scrutiny was nothing compared to what she felt three years later when she announced she was dating a fellow female skater, Sanne van Kerkhof. Media were so interested in the news that Wüst lost her cool, if only for a moment, asking one reporter why he wasn't equally interested in the dating life of one of her male teammates. The pressure wasn't so great for this 2006 Dutch female athlete of the year that she didn't prove herself once again in 2010, winning Olympic gold in Vancouver in the 1,500-meter event. Understandably emotional on the medal stand, she said she must be "the happiest person on earth."
James Duke Mason
18 / Cannes, France/Los Angeles
Instead of making headlines for disorderly behavior and drug arrests like so many other teens from show business families, James Duke Mason has his eye on a loftier goal. "I'm going to use my voice and my power as a human being to change history, even if it's in a small way," says Mason, the son of singer Belinda Carlisle and Morgan Mason, a politico turned film producer and agent. The younger Mason, who came out at 14, has been a congressional page, filmed PSAs for marriage equality, written civic-minded op-eds for Frontiers (a Los Angeles–based LGBT publication) and is currently the first openly gay student body president at his international high school on France's Côte d'Azur. "For me, it's about knowing every day that I'm doing my part to encourage other young gay people to be proud of who they are," he says. Mason begins work on his first film, You Can't Have It All, in April and plans to start college this fall in Los Angeles.

Dyson Hard Price and Launch Date Announced
Remember the Dyson Hard? I told you about it last week, and now we've got the official deets on the handheld vacuum/mop.
The Dyson Hard will go on sale September 3rd and will be price at $329.99. Dyson has told me that the Dyson Hard is "not a repurposing of other machines", such at the DC35 and the DC44. However, there is no disputing the Hard's similarities. That said, you won't be able to use the heads of the DC35 or DC44 with the Hard, which really isn't that big of a deal. Personally, I would have liked to have seen an add-on feature for those aforementioned units, especially since I have the DC35.
As for those wipes: Dyson will sell a 12-pack for $6.99, though they say it will be compatible with other industry standard wipes. Of course Dyson will include a set of sample wipes in the purchase of the Hard. And of note, the Dyson Hard will last for up to 15-minutes on a single charge.
Dyson's latest cordless technology vacuums dirt and wipes grime – in one action.
Hard floor cleaning is problematic. First you vacuum, then you mop – moving dirty water around, leaving floors soiled. Steam cleaning has its own problems, bound to a cord, waiting for steam. And battery powered 2-in-1 cleaners barely improve matters, relying on poor suction, leaving dust behind. All in all, time consuming and inefficient.
Engineered for hard floor cleaning, the Dyson Hard™ vacuum cleaner combines powerful suction with a wet wipe to remove dust and grime in one action. A double-edge cleaner head sucks up dirt and debris – before and after the wet wipe – with each stroke, leaving the wipe to remove stains and grime.
James Dyson "Cleaning hard floors is frustrating and ineffective. You vacuum, then mop – rigmarole. Propelled by our power dense digital motor, our engineers have designed a machine that vacuums and mops simultaneously. One machine, two jobs – one action."
The Dyson digital motor V2 allows for perfectly poised floor to ceiling cleaning. Lightweight, with a center of gravity firmly in the hand, the Dyson Hard™ vacuum cleaner's double edged cleaner head can be removed, adding a crevice and combination tool for up top, down below, hard-to-reach and in-between spaces. Remove the wand for cleaning cars and worktops.
Dyson digital motor: Powered by the Dyson digital motor V2, which is one third of the size of conventional motors, yet spins at 104,000rpm. This power dense motor allows the Dyson Hard™ vacuum cleaner to be compact and light with high performance.
Root Cyclone™ technology: Dyson's patented Root Cyclone™ technology has been concentrated, spinning dust and dirt out of the air using centrifugal force.
Fade-free battery: A lithium-ion battery delivers 15 minutes of fade free performance. For stubborn dirt, there is a boost setting for 6 minutes of high intensity cleaning.
Materials: Dyson engineers used materials that would stand up to tough abuse in real home environments. The machine's body is made from ABS Polycarbonate – the same material found in riot shields. Dyson engineers designed a reinforced wand, made from aluminum, to allow for extra push force in picking up grime.
Wipes: Dyson engineers worked with scientists to develop wipes for the machine. Two different wipes are available with the Dyson Hard™ vacuum cleaner – Hard floor and Wood nourishing. Each wipe is designed for different hard floor surfaces, and different tasks. The machine is also compatible with industry standard sized wipes found in most stores.

Barcelona Coach Pep Guardiola has admitted that he has struggled to find a way to counter Chelsea's expected tactics in their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, Press Association has reported.
Guardiola said: "Everyone wants to beat Barcelona and play well against us, because we are the current holders but I am struggling to see how we are going to hurt [Chelsea] and how we are going to create chances to score goals."
Barcelona have thus far in the competition scored 33 times in their 10 matches, conceding seven, a record which compares favourably to Chelsea. The Premier League side have netted on 21 occasions and conceded nine times, leaving them as the lowest scorers of the four teams remaining.
Real Madrid have scored the same number of goals as Barcelona and conceded just one more, while Bayern Munich have outscored Chelsea by three goals and conceded one less. Bayern and Madrid have however played a game more, having already met in their semi-final first-leg, a 2-1 home victory for the German side.
As may be expected Barcelona have also recorded the highest percentage of possession, averaging 67% of the ball in their matches. Chelsea and Madrid have taken 57% and Bayern slightly less, 56%.

Study says types of chores men do determines amount of sex
(KTNV) -- A new study has been released about how the type of chores husbands do determines how much sex a couple may have.
We have seen studies before about how women are "happier" in marriages when their husbands help with the housework. But, no one has ever look at the type of chores done and how that affects amount of sex until now.
Researchers have found that when men skip the chores traditionally associated with women like cooking, cleaning and dish washing actually have sex 20 times more per year than men who do help with those chores.
In other words, men who take care of traditional male chores like fixing things, car repairs and taking out the trash apparently have more sex with their wives or mates.
The study's authors suggest that overall women still find men more attractive in traditional roles although they say those ideals may not be the most modern and may just be a hangover from the past.
When you look at "total" satisfaction with the entire marriage and not just sex life, women are statistically more "happy" when men help out with the chores -- all of them.
The study titled "Egalitarianism, Housework and Sexual Frequency in Marriage" was conducted by the Center for Advanced Studies at the Juan March Institute in Madrid.

House of Councillors
function in Japanese legislation
Diet (Japanese government)

Inline skaters can enjoy over 100 miles of paved bicycle trails in the Forest Preserve. Please take note of our Rules of the Trail before your visit.
Following is information regarding each of our eight bike trails, including detailed maps of each trail:
Arie Crown Forest Bicycle Trail
Arie Crown Forest Bicycle Trail
The Arie Crown Trail System is a class I bicycle trail located in western Cook County, Illinois. This 3.2 mile long trail, surfaced with crushed gravel, winds through the scenic Arie Crown Forest near Hodgkins. Arie Crown Forest is conveniently located on LaGrange/Mannheim Road, just north of the Stevenson Expressway (I-55).
The Arie Crown Trail offers riders a natural setting of gently rolling hills and breathtaking beauty as it winds through the woods. Wildflowers and many other native plants adorn the trail's edge, making it one of the more beautiful in the county.
While out riding, stop at one of the areas picnic shelters for lunch, or take a break at Sundown Meadow or Lake Ida and just sit back and relax.
Busse Woods Bicycle Trail
Busse Woods Bicycle Trail
The Busse Woods Trail System is located throughout the Ned Brown Preserve in northwestern Cook County, Illinois. This Class I bicycle trail is currently 11.2 miles long and winds through the meadows and forests around Busse Lake.
This trail is not well suited for area residents, but ideal for those riders wishing to drive to the area. You can stop at one of the convenient parking areas then unload your bicycle and ride the winding trail through the preserve. These parking areas as well as the trail are shown on the map.
The Ned Brown Preserve is a 3,700 acre holding located in northwestern Cook County. This preserve, also known as Busse Woods, surrounds Busse Lake, a 590 acre lake that serves as the focal point of the area. The trail winds through the forests and meadows around Busse Lake providing access to many of the preserves unique features. You can ride through a mature forest past a herd of elk, then head for the lake to watch the sailboats for awhile. If you have your gear along, try catching a northern pike at one of the six fishing walls. There are many opportunities waiting for you, so plan a time today to ride the Busse Woods Bicycle Trail.
Deer Grove Bicycle Trail
Deer Grove Bicycle Trail
The Deer Grove Trail System is a Class I paved bicycle trail located in northwestern Cook County, Illinois. This bicycle trail is currently 3.9 miles long and winds through meadows and forests in the Deer Grove Preserve.
The Deer Grove Trail links with the Palatine Trail at Quentin and Dundee Roads offering extended bicycling opportunities. For those driving to the area, access to the trail can be gained at both Deer Grove and Deer Grove East parking facilities.
The Deer Grove Preserve is an 1800 acre holding located in northwestern Cook County, consisting of rolling upland forest interspersed with wooded ravines and wetlands. Picturesque creeks meander through this tract, feeding the two lakes located within the preserve. The Deer Grove Trail winds its way through these forests in Deer Grove past Camp Reinberg providing access to picnic areas located in Deer Grove East.
There is also a multi-use trail system at Deer Grove with an unpaved trail designated for bicyclists, equestrians, and hikers. Please take note of special restrictions against off-trail riding:
The natural plant and animal communities in the ravine area of Deer Grove have been severely damaged by off-trail use. The ground cover plants have been destroyed. The resulting soil erosion is undermining the forest trees and shrubs and is polluting local water bodies. This damage is so widespread that a restriction of off-trail use by bicyclists and equestrians in the area has been enacted.
Bicyclists and equestrians are restricted to the designated and maintained trails within Deer Grove. Trails which are designated for bicycle and equestrian use are shown on this downloadable map:
Open trails will be marked in the field with gray trail markers. In addition, orange trail closure markers will be installed at the non-designated trail heads. It is intended that the designated trail system will effectively control use to prevent further ecological damage and to allow the natural ecosystem to be restored. For the good of the natural environment, please respect these trail restrictions. Your cooperation will help to insure that the designated trail system can remain open.
The Deer Grove Restoration Project has recently begun working in the preserve to restore selected high quality natural areas. Volunteers are always needed. If you would like to get involved and give something back to Deer Grove, visit Get Involved or call the District's Volunteer Coordinator at (630) 257-2045 for information. Also, those interested in working on a proposed trail maintenance or trail courtesy program can call the District's Superintendent of Trails at (708) 403-7391.
