How Bradley Wiggins' phenomenal cycling success has built him a fortune - and he didn't even do it for the money
You would think it difficult for Bradley Wiggins' stock to rise much further after he became the first Briton to win the Tour de France ten days ago.
But even as he rode up the Champs Elysee in the yellow jersey to a rapturous reception, the Olympics was looming as his next career milestone.
After disappointment for Team GB in the weekend's road race, Wiggins' today became Great Britain's most decorated Olympian by picking up gold in the men's time trial after a phenomenal ride - he has now won seven Olympic medals during his incredible cycling career, one more than rower Steve Redgrave.
Bradley Wiggins: Won gold for Great Britain today in the Olympic road race
Becoming one of the country's greatest ever sportsman has made him a rich - and soon to be even richer - man, but it is a mark of a true champion that he didn't do it for the money.
The 32-year-old - who now lives in Lancashire's western Pennines with wife Catherine, and children Ben and Isabella - was raised pedalling round a council estate in Kilburn.
He started track cycling at the age of 12 in south London's Herne Hill Velodrome, where a crash sent Bradley on the road to greatness, as the £1000 compensation awarded was spend on his first proper racing bike.
After early successes as a young track cyclist, Wiggins tried to put in place a back-up plan: he trained as a carpenter and took a course in business studies which he later 'got chucked off from'.
But then came Olympic success: Wiggins sped to a bronze at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. He then won a gold, silver and bronze at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and two golds from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Bradley Wiggins sporting his new clothing deal with Fred Perry
For his successes in cycling, he was given an OBE in 2005 New Year's honours.
published an autobiography in 2009 entitled 'In pursuit of glory' which
recounts the highs and lows of his cycling career.
In it Wiggins tells of his spiral into doubt and depression after the 2004 Olympics - when his low income and lack of recognition left his family struggling for money.
In an interview with Guardian, Wiggins said: 'I woke up every Monday morning and we were still overdrawn and I'd think "God I don't feel like riding my bike again".'
While sales of this book - published by Orion - are likely to spike, it will soon have some competition on the sports shelves.
Birlinn limited, an Edinburgh based publisher, has announced that 'Bradley Wiggins: Tour de France' will be published in October 2012 to refresh his incredible story.
Meanwhile, he has recently signed a new clothing deal with Fred Perry adding another facet to his earnings. 'The Wiggins collection' is inspired by the 'relationship between sport and [the mod] subculture'.
Bike sales have spiked since the final week of the Tour de France, and Wiggins could follow former cycling stars in lending his name to a range of bikes and cycling equipment.
In the week before Wiggins was
crowned winner, figures produced by Visa, show that UK customers spent
more than £21.13million in bike stores.
The Wiggins effect boosted Halfords
July sales by 12 per cent on its top-end Boardman bikes, which cost £600
- £1300 and were designed and licensed by the 1990s Olympic champion
and Tour de France stage winner Chris Boardman.
Bradley Wiggins: The first Briton to win the Tour de France
Now to the serious stuff. His triumph in Paris ten days ago earned him £350,000 in prize money alone but it will be worth far more in future negotiations with Sky Procycling over a new contract - and in signing lucrative advertising deals.
After making the tough transition to road racing, his fourth place position at the Tour in 2009 earned him his flagship role with Team Sky in 2010 and a £1.2million contract.
A disastrous first year as team leader and then a crash out of the Tour the following year left Wiggins' status on a knife-edge. But experts say he is now in a position to land a series of lucrative endorsements and sponsorship deals.
PR guru Max Clifford said: 'Bradley has a
squeaky-clean sporting image which will be very attractive to sponsors.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's government suffered a fresh blow in containing growing anger over corruption from million of voters as Swami Ramdev, the country's most famous yoga guru, gained the support of a leading civil activist for his "fast-until-death" against graft.
Anna Hazare lent his support on Thursday for Ramdev's hunger strike from Saturday to protest against corruption in Asia's third-largest economy and has called on his legions of followers to join him.
Here are some facts about Ramdev:
Ramdev, who is always seen in a saffron robe slung across his bare chest with wooden sandals, sports a jet black ponytail and a large black beard. He does not disclose his age.
He works 18-20 hours a day, waking up at 3 a.m every morning to begin his exercises, fuelled by a diet of milk, green vegetables and seasonal fruit. He says he has never eaten an egg, nor drank alcohol.
Ramdev, who successfully brought yoga to the masses through live telecasts, is revered in a country that places great emphasis on spirituality and health.
His yoga demonstrations and performances to thousands of followers regularly include postures like a headstand or making his belly dance inside his ribcage, a popular trademark.
The yoga guru claims to have a follower in every household in India, and at least 30 million people tune in every day to his yoga programme that describes methods and teachings for treating anything from diabetes to high blood pressure.
"Television has made me a hundred times more powerful," Ramdev, who was born to illiterate parents in a poor farming family, told Reuters last year.
He is mobbed by supporters and the media wherever he travels across the country, and his pledge to go on a hunger strike this month prompted the government to send four senior ministers to welcome him at the New Delhi airport.
While Ramdev is not a spiritual leader, yoga's cultural resonance in India, where Hindu gods are often depicted in yoga poses, means his followers show a devotion similar to religious gurus such as Sai Baba, who died in April.
Ramdev's main yoga centre in Haridwar, in Uttarakhand, can hold 6,000 people, and is the heartbeat of a global business spread across three trusts with a turnover of $40 million every year.
His assets include a Scottish island now renamed "Peace Island", a two-campus university dedicated to yoga teaching and a pharmaceutical company producing ayurvedic medicine and herbal products.
Ramdev's trust runs courses and workshops in Britain, the United States, Canada, Mauritius and Nepal, and a book and CD business with a monthly turnover of around $500,000. He is scheduled to travel to Russia in late July for a series of workshops and lectures.
Ramdev has promised to form a national political party to challenge the ruling Congress party at the 2014 general elections, and contest all 543 seats across India.
He has pledged to "cleanse" the world's largest democracy of greed and foreign influences, overhaul political, legal and education systems which he says are hangovers from colonial rule, and set up fast-track courts to pass sentences for capital crimes including corruption.
But critics have attacked him for his links to the Hindu-nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party.
Ramdev has claimed that homosexuality is a mental disease, and that mentally stable people do not become homosexuals.
When the Delhi High Court decriminalised homosexuality in 2009, local media reported Ramdev said: "The verdict will encourage criminality and sick mentality. This kind of thing is shameful and insulting."
Ramdev was also sent a cease and desist order by India's health ministry after he said that sex education in schools should be replaced by yoga education to combat the spread of HIV and AIDS.

Bangaladumpa Upma Koora
Makes: 2 Servings
Calories: About 500 Per Serving
This recipe uses a unique, exotic spice called asafoetida, which is cultivated from the sap of a plant in the fennel and carrot family. Known for its powerful, pungent aroma when raw, this special spice mellows as it cooks, releasing notes of onion, garlic and even a slight hint of white truffle. In addition to its culinary popularity, asafoetida is used in homeopathic medicine.
PDF Download a PDF of this recipe
On the Cutting Board
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 1 Onion
- 1 Sprig Fresh Curry Leaves
- 8 Small White Creamer Potatoes
- 5 Dried Pequin Red Chilis
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Mustard
- 1 Teaspoon Asafoetida Powder
- ½ Cup Mong Dal
- ½ Cup Tomato Paste
Prepare the ingredients:
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a small pot of salted water to boiling on high. Peel and finely chop the ginger. Roughly chop the cilantro. Cut the lime into quarters. Peel and small dice the onion. Pick the curry leaves off of the stems.
Toast the curry leaves:
In a medium pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium until hot. Add the curry leaves—you should hear them sputter and pop a little—and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly crispy and fragrant, stirring frequently.
Add the aromatics:
Add the onion and ginger and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion and ginger are softened. Add the whole dried chilis, ground mustard, asafoetida powder and mong dal. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and fragrant, stirring frequently.
Add the tomato paste:
Stir in the tomato paste along with 3 cups of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mong dal is tender, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the potatoes:
Once the small pot of water is boiling, add the potatoes. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain thoroughly and return to the empty pot to keep warm while the mong dal finishes cooking.
Plate your dish:
Once the mong dal is tender, turn off the heat and remove the peppers. Stir in half the cilantro and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Divide the cooked potatoes between 2 dishes. Then using a fork or the back of a spoon, smash the potatoes, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the curry mixture on top and garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Kape, Rüdiger and Parniske, Martin and Brandt, Sebastian and Werner, Dietrich (1992): Isoliquiritigenin, a Strong nod Gene- and Glyceollin Resistance- Inducing Flavonoid from Soybean Root Exudate. In: APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, Vol. 58, No. 5: pp. 1705-1710 |
Isoflavonoid signal molecules from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seed and root exudate induce the transcription of nodulation (nod) genes in Bradyrhizobium japonicum. In this study, a new compound with symbiotic activity was isolated from soybean root exudate. The isolated 2',4',4-trihydroxychalcone (isoliquiritigenin) is characterized by its strong inducing activity for the nod genes of B. japonicum. These genes are already induced at concentrations 1 order of magnitude below those required of the previously described isoflavonoid inducers genistein and daidzein. Isoliquiritigenin is also a potent inducer of glyceollin resistance in B. japonicum, which renders this bacterium insensitive to potentially bactericidal concentrations of glyceollin, the phytoalexin of G. max. No chemotactic effect of isoliquiritigenin was observed. The highly efficient induction of nod genes and glyceollin resistance by isoliquiritigenin suggests the ecological significance of this compound, although it is not a major flavonoid constituent of the soybean root exudate in quantitative terms.

Windows 8 £14.99 upgrade won't install

Posted November 23, 2012 at 4:39PM
I'm trying to install Windows 8 Pro on a laptop running 7. As the laptop was recently bought it was eligible for a upgrade for £14.99. I have gone through the compatibility checker and paid for the upgrade. Have got the email from Microsoft along with download link and product code/number.
I have completed the download through the Win8 installer, and I now have options to 'install now' 'install by creating media' or 'install from desktop later'. Whenever I do install now - it 'failed to utilise startup folder' then 'can't find install.exe'
I have also tried burning the ISO image to a DVD and running the installer from the disc - I don't get the 'cant find install.exe' but it still fails to utilise startup folder and then closes.
I have read numerous other posts online with the same problem. I have unistalled my anti virus, and disabled windows firewall - but yet the problem remains, help please!

Not got a clue but are you installing the same 32Bit or 64bit.It has to be the same as what you already use.
have you tried the clean install without taking files and folders with you.

Yes using the same version as my system, the upgrade assistant should sort that. I Have tried clean install also, that was my first option. I have also tried Microsoft support, and telephone support - they were about as much use as a chocolate kettle! There is only 1 hard-drive on this laptop.
The frustrating thing is that the upgrade assistant said the upgrade was compatible, so it lead me to believe it didn't download properly - I've re-done it a bunch of times and still no luck. It just won't work & I hate being ripped off.

Chronos - thanks I don't know how that happened!!
Marg7 - I have burnt the ISO file to a DVD. I have tried to install from the DVD whilst the computer is logged on (from the desktop). How do I boot a DVD from OUTSIDE of windows? Would the DVD I have already created work for this method?
Really appreciate any help and further info you can give me :)

Though we all were taken by his helpful and happy smile, said he came from a creature that seem so cold and vile, Something about this fellow that made me look away, there was a presence in his passing that bring dark to the day, So full we are of this expectant hope, through the walking of his shadows is how we all will cope, I saw something chilling and it lingered in his eyes, Then we seen that traces of fear that ran across the skies this is a time in my life I rather not believe, as days grown a fever in disbelief in his wisdom that may and shalll deceive as his light will drop you to your knees, a plague so fearless to shrivel up the trees, I know he is mine to only wonder, if his love I shall keep, for this day has come to choose if we only give in to his sleep.

Hubble Space Telescope recently snapped an ultra-sharp view of the nucleus (inset) of M31, the Andromeda galaxy (background). The image shows that the galaxy has a double nucleus surrounded by a cluster of bright blue stars, which are quite young. The cluster spans several light-years and contains hundreds of stars. A similar but smaller cluster has been discovered in the nucleus of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. [NASA/ESA/T. Lauer (NOAO)]

Galileo Galilei is already known as one of the greatest astronomers in history. With his handmade telescopes, he discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. He found that the Milky Way actually consists of countless individual stars, and saw that instead of being smooth, as just about everyone thought, the Moon was covered by jagged mountains, valleys, and craters.
Yet if he'd realized what he was looking at 400 years ago today, Galileo might have burnished his reputation even more. He recorded a small star near Jupiter, which had moved relative to the other stars around it. This pinpoint of light was the planet Neptune, which wasn't officially discovered until 1846.
Galileo was fascinated by the moons of Jupiter. He'd been watching them for a couple of years, charting their positions and even predicting their motions. And in January 1613, Neptune crept behind Jupiter, sliding across Galileo's field of view.
His notebooks show that he actually recorded the planet three times over several weeks. It was at a point where it doesn't move much against the background of stars, so its position relative to the true stars didn't change by a lot.
One researcher has suggested that Galileo knew he was looking at a possible planet. But Galileo never announced his finding to the rest of the world. Since he kept the mysterious "star" to himself, Neptune remained "undiscovered" for more than two centuries.

Artichoke Hearts -raw?
Artichoke Hearts -raw?
Are artichoke hearts raw if they're purchased in bulk, not in a can or bottle? How would I make my own?
I would love to know this too, and if hearts of palm are even edible raw.
Generally not. The ones I've seen are cooked and packed in brine (salt, water and sometimes vinegar). You can purchase fresh artichokes in season to enjoy them raw. I would guess that they could be preserved by fermentation like cabbage but I have never done it.
My Italian mother in law does this with her raw artichoke hearts: slice them super thin with a mandoline or meat slicer (that's what she uses!), then soak them in water and lemon (or they'll get dark), pat dry, then add walnuts, parmesan shavings (optional!), extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. It's delicious!

Re: Half-Season Texans Mock/Wishlist
I threw this mock together real quick this evening but I think that it addresses most of our needs with the exception of DT that I think we should address in FA since we've proven we're not real good with DT's in the draft.
1. Joe Haden-CB, if Dunta leaves then replacing him will be our top priority since no one that's currently on our roster is good enough to step up as a #1 CB. Haden has all the physical skills he just needs a little coaching on technique and some experience.
2. Nate Allen-FS, Morgan Burnett will most likely be gone in the 1st round and Allen has been moving up draft boards alot lately. I want a good coverage FS/ballhawk.
3. Mike Johnson-OG, might be available and might not if he's gone then the pick is Sergio Render-OG. Both are obvious upgrades to the interior O-line that are much needed.
4. Thomas Austin-OG, should be available and we need a massive talent upgrade on the interior O-line. If he doesn't start by mid year then he should at least be a quality backup. Adding 2 OG's should move Myers and Brisiel to backup rolls where they belong and move Studdard and White off the team where they belong.
5. Anthony Dixon-RB, a power RB who's not perfect but who is in the 5th round. He'll need some work on quickness, speed, and cutting ability but he's got potential.
5. Kyle Jolly-OT, the only depth at OT we've got is Rashad Butler and Tutan Reyes (who?). Jolly has got good size and has started lots of games for N.C. and should have the ability to be a utility O-lineman and decent depth at OT.
6. LeGarrette Blount-RB, I know about the punch and discipline issue with him, I watched the Boise St. game. This pick will be very dependent on how he has handled himself since the incident and on his interviews. If he hasn't changed his attitude then we pick someone else obviously, but if he's had no further incidents, interviews well and seems to have changed his attitude then he's the pick. The guy has talent, size, and power and someone will give him a chance in the NFL. Also in the 6th round it's a very low risk high reward situation. If he plays well great and if he doesn't then we haven't lost anything since most 6th round picks don't make their respective teams rosters anyway.
7. Zoltan Mesko-P, he's big, a good punter, and much younger and cheaper than Turk. Also we wouldn't be wasting a pick on someone who most likely wouldn't make the team anyway. We'd be one of the only teams who's 7th round pick makes the roster. Also how many times are you going to get the chance to draft someone named Zoltan.

It is a common observation that participation in online forums by individuals varies greatly. A few students post many messages, some post a few, and many only read. A rough 'rule of thirds' is one way of quantifying this (for example, Mason 1989), but it is likely that this rule of thumb hides interesting structure and differences between contexts. Large scale statistical analysis suggests patterns of participation that are not captured by this rough rule of thirds.
However, similar patterns can be seen when analysing the abundance of species in ecological communities, and ecologists have well-established measures to capture these patterns. It therefore seems plausible that indices of ecological diversity could also provide a useful characterisation of an online community. Such indices can unpick both 'species richness' (here number of participants) and equitability / dominance.
There is also an ecological literature which uses these indices to characterise community types and it is possible that the same indices could provide useful insights into the structure and dynamics of online forums. In particular, it is possible that factors such as group size, topic focus, optional/compulsory activities, etc may control or correlate with measures of participation and equitability.
To explore this, 36 forums containing 27,000 messages were analysed to see if an ecological approach to online communities could offer useful insights. In particular:
* Can simple indices capture useful features such as richness and equitability / dominance of forum contributions?
* Do such indices vary in a consistent way across different types of forum?
Some implications raised are:
* Can forum organisation be manipulated to produce forums of differing richness and equitability?
* Are there measures that could usefully be extracted automatically to provide educators and moderators with indicators of the 'health' of online communities?

The latest issue of Collections boasts 186 pages brimming with in-depth interviews, a kaleidoscope of catwalk colour and a Monopoly-style game customised for fashion fiends.
The issue has the same collectable feel as its predecessors, but this time gains an added dose of sweetness and light—all thanks to the fashion.
'It feels like a very uplifting, colourful, pretty issue, and it was a huge amount of fun to put together,' said Avril Mair, ELLE Collections editor. 'Features like Fashionopoly and the back-page map of the fashion world are funny and clever, but also demonstrate our love and obsession with fashion.'
The issue also features a special focus on London designers. Handwritten Q&As with Erdem, Meadham Kirchhoff and Jonathan Saunders underline the city's global significance for 2012, making the issue a souvenir for a banner year.
'It's a fantastic seasonal resource and a beautiful thing in itself,' Mair said. 'The attention to detail on every page and the design touches make this a special piece. It's a real labour of love for everybody involved.'
ELLE Collections is on newsstands now

Inspired by "That Night in Rio" a 1941 movie featuring Carmen Miranda & Don Amesh and directed by Irving Cummings. Technicolor Vibes ! Not exactly a Mashup exept if you consider doing a remix is mashing with yourself ! The original audio was mono and crap but I had no choice but to work with it ! Hope you'll enjoy !
A night in rio from DJ LE CLOWN on Vimeo.
Mash-Up Your Bootz proudly present: "BOOTSTEAKS - A Bootleg Tribute To The Beatsteaks" Beatsteaks are a punk & alternative rock band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 1995. This year they released their 7th album, self-titled: "Beatsteaks". As the special edition of the album comes along with all Instrumental & Acapella versions of the album tracks, it was about time to mash them in total and maybe inwardly they requested a Bastard Pop treatment by some of the big names in the Mashup scene. Who knows? This Mashup Tribute to the Beatsteaks contains 3 virtual CDs featuring a bunch of international mashup artists, such as Mashup-Germany, DJ Schmolli, DJ Morgoth, Fissunix, ToToM and many more.
On CD1 all Beatsteaks vocals are mashed against different kind of artists and music genres from yesterday to today. CD2 has a focus on the Beatsteaks instrumentals and we tried to get some well known voices on top of their songs. And finally, CD3 collects some Bonus Tracks of previously released & unreleased Beatsteaks Mashups, also containing material of their previous albums like "Smack Smash", ".limbo messiah" or "Boombox". Furthermore you can listen to a stream of a full mixtape version of the BOOTSTEAKS album including all songs of CD1 and CD2. If you like what we created here, buy the Beatsteaks original albums, support their music, go to their next concert, enjoy the mosh pits and great sing-alongs. It is an event. Cheerz!

Here's a great mashup from DRA'man. Do you want more?

Surf News
- 23 May 2009 | Surfing
The South American Sports Organization (ODESUR) has confirmed that the First South American Beach Games will be held from December 3 to 13 in Montevideo and Punta del Este, Uruguay and Surfing is going to be an official sport in this historic occasion.
Recently, Surfing has taken big strides on the long path towards Olympic Games participacion, something first requested by multi Olympic gold medallist Duke Kahanamoku in 1920. In October 2008 Surfing debuted in the first ever International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized Beach Games that were held in Bali, Indonesia. Surfing was the most popular sport according to visitors' votes on the official event webpage.
Now, in the first ever South American Beach Games, the Olympic Movement has invited Surfing once again in its newest and more and very promising event.
Fernando Aguerre, ISA President, said about the upcoming event: "The ISA is proud and honored to accept to organize the surfing competitions on this Beach Games. This time aided by the Pan American Surfing Association (PASA) our organization will show the world that Surfing is a key sport for today's youth.
Surfing and its attractive lifestyle are at the centre of beach culture around the world. The inclusion of surfing in these inaugural Beach Games is a very wise move by ODESUR. Millions of surfers in South America are going to be very supportive of these Games."

Following the success of their innovative online payment system, Surfing Queensland today launched a dynamic and user-friendly website that will transform the way the wider surfing community benefits from the State body and its resources.
The new Surfing Queensland website seamlessly combines the innovative online payment system with a number of cutting edge web based technologies, all integrated into an easy to use and visually stimulating interface. While the site has been designed to be both technologically and creatively dynamic, the core purpose of the site is to deliver important content for the general public, amateur surf enthusiasts and professional surfers.
At http://www.surfingqueensland.com/ surfers of all ages and ability levels can access events across the state. Add to that online membership, information on coaching, judging, surf schools, the latest surf news from around the globe, uber-cool videos, and boardriding clubs in a simple, easy-to-navigate manner.
Surfing Queensland has also aligned with surf forecasting gurus Coastalwatch to provide daily surf reports for both the Gold and Sunshine Coast, along with up-to-the-minute news updates from Australia's Surfing Life (ASL) magazine's website.
Surfing Queensland Operations Manager Mark Winson is pleased to be launching the new site.
"In this day and age it's important that members and the general public have instant access to the latest information about the sport of surfing," he said.

Several Australian news sources are considering the chance of Kelly Slater giving up on his title defence, after failing to go through the second round of the 2009 Billabong Pro Teahupoo, in Tahiti.
The 9-time ASP world champion was defeated by Aritz Aranburu and is quoted admitting to quit the 10th title race. After the shock loss, Kelly Slater said that was 'decision time' and he did not want to lose more places in the 2009 ranking.
The american surfer also underlined that it is still possible to conquer the 10th trophy, even with the first bad results, as it happened last year.

Run ss-to-db
from the terminal or create a service with Automator and assign a shortcut as described in the next section.
First you will need to create a SERVICE with automator. Select "run shell script" in Actions and then write /usr/local/bin/ss-to-db

Next you will asign a key shortcut to the service, in System Preferences as shown here:
You are done! close Automator and System Preferences before testing.
The above instructions use OSx Services, which doesn't work on every program but most of them. The other way I've found is by creating an Application with Automator (instead of a Service) and then using any of these tools to create the key shortcut:

Item has a Minimum Qty
Ideal for global travel, the Slipstream Pack utilizes the most advanced technology in bag construction for enduring the elements.
Use: Motorcycle daily commute to and from work.Pros: Very good hiviz waterproof backpack. Fit and construction appear to be top notch. Backpack has kept my laptop, electronics and paperwork dry during commutes through daily NC summer storms. Sewn in laptop specific sleeve keeps laptop held firmly in place. Hiviz yellow is extra bright for visibility when on the bike.Cons: Small lower pockets are too small and oddly shaped to allow storage of most items except key rings etc and change. The vertical front zippered pocket is somewhat difficult to use based on it's size and location.Improvements: Front pocket could be configured with a zipper like the main compartment for easier use and storage of secondary items. Backpack could really be improved with external pockets specific for smart phones and ipods.

Founded in the 1960's in Italy, Alpinestars was created by Sante Mazzarolo, a leather craftsman. Around the same time of Alpinestars' founding, the popularity of motocross was sweeping Europe by storm. Mazzarolo saw motocross as a golden opportunity to create advanced footwear that catered to the needs of motocross athletes. He was able to create a boot that soon became the standard for motocross protective footwear.
The innovative nature of Alpinestars soon caught the attention of athletes everywhere and Alpinestars secured their first brand ambassador along with many sponsored athletes as time progressed. Alpinestars has evolved into other areas of motorsports and now even produces products for Formula 1 racing. With a constantly evolving company, Alpinestars continues to live by their commitment of producing inventive products for the many levels of motorsports.

Lab00: Introduction to C programming
(The monospace font size defaults to 12 on IDA's firefox installation. If the code on this page is difficult to read change your firefox settings in Edit->Preferences->Content->Advanced (Swedish: Redigera->Inställningar->Innehåll->Avancerat).)1. Hello, world. [10 min]
Everytime you start to work with a new programming language, it is tradition to make the "Hello, world" program. Create it, compile it, and run it.2. debugthis
First try to understand the program below and spot the bug, and fix it if you can.
Run the program in ddd to find the row where the segmentation fault
occurs. You must first compile it with gcc -g
for this to work.
If you have problems showing the fonts when running ddd in solaris you can fix it by adding the follwoing lines the beginning of your ddd init file ~/.ddd/init:
! Fonts.
Ddd*defaultFont: fixed
Ddd*variableWidthFont: fixed
Ddd*fixedWidthFont: fixed
Ddd*dataFont: fixed
Copy the follwing text and save and compile it:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
char str[] = "sihtgubed";
char *stri = &str[8];
char *buf[9];
char **bufi, **bufend;
bufi = buf;
bufend = &buf[9];
while (bufi != bufend){
*bufi = stri;
while (bufi != buf){
*(*bufi) -= 32;
while (bufi != bufend){
printf("%c", **bufi);
N.B. This is a silly and not very pretty program. Hint: Check an ASCII table (for example by typing man ascii in the console).
You need to demonstrate this part (2) for your assistant!
3. Create a linked list of integers.
Create a linked list with the following functions:
void append(struct list_item *first, int x); /* puts x at the end of the list */
void prepend(struct list_item *first, int x); /* puts x at the beginning of the list */
void print(struct list_item *first); /* prints all elements in the list */
/* input_sorted: find the first element in the list larger than x
and input x right before that element */
void input_sorted(struct list_item *first, int x);
void destroy(struct list_item *first); /* free everything dynamically allocated */
Hint1: You need to use malloc
of course) and a struct list_item
that contains a pointer to the same struct:
struct list_item {
int value;
struct list_item * next;
Hint2: Implementing the list will be easier if you make
be a static head element that does not contain
any real data. (Because there are fewer exceptions if you know
is never NULL.) Your main
can start like this:
int main( int argc, char ** argv)
struct list_item root;
root.value = -1; /* This value is always ignored */
root.next = NULL;
You need to demonstrate this part (3) for your assistant!
4. Browsing the code. [10 min]
Using tags with emacs. Install pintos using the instructions from Lab0. Change to your new${HOME}/pintos/src
and run:
gmake TAGSThis created an index of structs and functions in a new file named TAGS. Now let's find where the pintos semaphore is. Start emacs and press meta-. (hold meta and press dot). Type the keyword you wish to look for, "semaphore" in this case, and press enter. Press enter again to confirm the path to your TAGS file, and there you are!
Sometimes when you want to know where a file is in the hierarchy this command is useful:
find ${HOME}/pintos/src |grep filenameTry find the file
. Open it to see a more
complicated linked list implementation than the one you just
Now imagine that you want to find all files where this list is used, for this you can use the following command:
find ${HOME}/pintos/src -type f -print |xargs grep list_init

Checking receipts can really pay off!
Checking the Fine...Price
by Jenny Lin

Fight Higher Grocery Bills
Buying Grocery Store Manager Specials Grocery Savings |
Savvy shoppers know all about clipping coupons and checking the ads. And thanks to modern technology, there are numerous websites that make it quicker. However, there is one oft-overlooked way of saving money, which may not save a lot of time (in fact, it can be quite a headache) but can be very effective and certainly important. And that is checking your receipt.
Since becoming a parent, and thus more concerned about saving money and with considerably more shopping to do, I have been shocked at how often I am charged wrong. And while I'd be perfectly happy never to have to, it does pay to look.
One particularly distressing, though now almost funny, shopping trip to a major supermarket ended up with at least half the items charged incorrectly. I went, fussy twin babies in tow, to correct the items. After returning home, I once again began wondering how the total ended up as much as it did. Looking closely again, I found several more wrong items. I charged back to the store and corrected those too.
Later that day, I composed a letter to the store's headquarters. Some weeks later, I had an apologetic phone call from the district manager, followed by a less apologetic phone call from the store manager in which he did at least offer a gift card to try to retain our loyalty. He also asked that I notify him personally if it happens again. So the next time we were over-charged, I went and asked for him. Again, I received a gift card.
There is another grocery store, which I am particularly fond of, where it pays even more to check and where fewer hassles are usually encountered. This store, as all should, gives a full refund for any mischarged item, and there is rarely much wait to process it, which is a blessing with young children.
There are supermarkets that I try to avoid because mischarged items only mean waiting in a long line at customer service all to save a buck or two for something that is their fault to begin with.
Perhaps we are conspiracy theorists, but my husband and I believe some stores do this, or allow this, on purpose, knowing few people will check, or if they do, will decide complaining is not worth the hassle. Most may be honest mistakes, but I have seen items I pointed out to them as wrongly marked never get corrected.
If more people checked carefully, and if more people complained and wrote letters, more stores would either be more careful with their accuracy or at least grant better compensation to retain customers.
Take the Next Step: Decide from this point on to carefully check each receipt that you receive for errors.

Why I Love My Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens
In the "Why I love my…" articles we will be asking photographers to tell us about a specific piece of equipment that they have developed a strong bond with and whose presence has improved their photographic experiences.
It could be highly technical, or very basic. It might be a relatively new, current product, or an old, battered ever faithful bit of gear. It might be a near perfect combination of form and function that is to be put up on a pedestal and worshipped, or a flawed and challenging device that requires a fair bit of effort to wrangle the best out of, but whose companionship is essential.
Here, Keith Barlow tells us why he loves his Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens.
Why and When?
I started out in photography a few years back with a Canon 400D and the 18-55mm kit lens. While the camera and lens were great as an introduction to photography I soon found that there were limitations, especially with the lens. I love taking pictures of our young children but it was really difficult getting good shots of them, particularly in low light (indoors, etc). I tried off-camera flash but this wasn't practical most of the time and didn't solve the whole problem. I needed something that would allow me to capture my subject in low light, provide a nice depth of field and be fast enough to stop motion.
I mentioned this to a colleague at work who immediately told me about his favourite lens, the "50mm f1.4". He had used one for a while and could not fault it. In fact he practically begged me to buy one. With that sort of endorsement it was quite easy to take the plunge and the lens was ordered the same day. That was almost 3 years ago and since then the 50mm f1.4 is almost permanently attached to my camera which is now a Canon 60D.
The pros?
If you want a shallow depth of field and a really sharp subject then you can't go wrong with this lens. Using the lens wide open is sometimes tricky as the depth of field is so shallow but the results can be fantastic. I mostly shoot at f/2.8 (sweet spot) and can't fault the results at all. Sure you get some softening around the edges at f/1.4 but if your subject is sharp then soft edges shouldn't take anything away from the overall image. Whether your subject is up close up or distant the lens enables you to single out your subject and blur the background away. Alternatively, if you want the whole scene sharp then using a smaller aperture still delivers. Furthermore, if you use the lens with extension tubes or a reversing ring you will not be disappointed with the results.
The cons?
To be honest I can't really fault this lens. Sure it's a fixed focal length but that's one of the reasons I went for it in the first place. Obviously a tele/zoom lens gives you more flexibility but then if that is what you are after you wouldn't go for a prime lens. The lens doesn't have IS but then with a 50mm lens capable of shooting at f/1.4 there are very few situations where you are going to be shooting with a slow shutter speed. You would have to be shooting slower that 1/80 hand held for stability to be a problem and these days increasing ISO to compensate for a couple of stops isn't going to impact overall image quality.
So why do you love it?
I originally purchased the 50mm f/1.4 so that I could get nice clean, sharp pictures of our children. They never sit still and most of the time I'll be trying to get shots of them indoors where low light is a big issue. The lens helps me get great headshots as well as full length shots and it focuses quick enough to enable me to capture those candid shots without the subject noticing. I have used the lens in all sorts of situations and it has never let me down. One time I was at a concert and after taking a few shots with a zoom lens and flash I could tell that the flash was killing the atmosphere. The same shot with the 50mm at f1.4 captured the mood perfectly.
I prefer taking pictures that get up close and focus in on specific detail so the 50mm f/1.4 is perfect for me. Capturing my subject is one thing but making them pop out of the picture is another. There are other prime lenses on the market and I'm sure I could fall in love with some of them too, but from what this lens has delivered so far this is definitely worth the money and will be on the end of my camera for a long time to come.

Do you have a particular piece of kit that has become your trusted photographic friend? Is there a gadget in your bag that, despite being old and superseded, you keep going back to time and time again? Have you got a bit of equipment that has become your talisman for great photographs?
If so, we'd love you to write a Why I love my… article for the Wex Blog! Simply write to us telling us what the item is, why and when you originally bought it, its pros and cons, and why you've come to love it so, plus include any own photos of your gear in use.

Mineral Rights are property rights to exploit an area for the minerals it harbors. Mineral rights can be separate from property ownership.
Mineral estate[edit]
Ownership of mineral rights (more properly "mineral interest") is an estate in real property. Technically it is known as a mineral estate, although often referred to as mineral rights. It is the right of the owner to exploit, mine, and/or produce any or all of the minerals lying below the surface of the property.
The mineral estate of the land includes all organic and inorganic substances that form a part of the soil. Exceptions include sand, gravel, limestone, and subsurface water—which are normally considered part of the surface estate.
Mineral estates are sometimes severed from the surface estate. Such severance is accomplished with a conveyance or reservation of these rights. This conveyance or reservation includes minerals or substances considered minerals. Although technically not minerals, which are naturally occurring crystalline "solids," legal regimes typically include hydrocarbon resources such as oil and natural gas under the term "mineral rights." Such a conveyance or reservation includes royalties, bonuses and rentals. In the absence of such a conveyance, the surface owner retains the rights.
Major elements[edit]
The five elements of a mineral right are:
- The right to use as much of the surface as is reasonably necessary to access the minerals
- The right to further convey rights
- The right to receive bonus consideration[1]
- The right to receive delay rentals[2]
- The right to receive royalties
The owner of a mineral interest may separately convey any or all of the above-listed interests. Minerals may be possessed as a life estate, which does not permit a person to sell them, but merely that they own the minerals so long as they live. After this, the rights revert to a predesignated entity, such as a specific organization or person.
It is possible for mineral right owners to sever and sell oil and gas royalties, while keeping the other mineral rights. In such case, if the oil lease expires, the royalty owner has nothing and the mineral owner still owns the minerals.
Mineral rights leasing[edit]
The four major stages for mineral rights leasing are:
- Ownership
- Leasing
- The Division Order
- The Royalty Check
There are three distinct but related aspects of ownership. They are:[3]
- Legal description
- Net mineral acres
- Ownership type
To bring oil and gas reserves to market, minerals are conveyed for a specified time to oil companies through a legally binding contract known as a lease. This arrangement between individual mineral owners and oil companies began prior to 1900[clarification needed] and still thrives today. Before exploration can begin, the mineral owner (lessor) and the oil company (lessee) must agree to certain terms regarding the rights, privileges and obligations of the respective parties during the exploration and possible production stages.
Although there are numerous other important details, the basic structure of the lease is straightforward: in exchange for an up-front lease bonus payment, plus a royalty percentage of the value of any production, the mineral owner grants the oil company the right to drill for a period of time, known as the primary term. If the term of the oil or gas lease extends beyond the primary term, and a well was not drilled, then the Lessee is required to pay the lessor a delay rental. This delay rental could be $1 or more per acre. In some cases, no drilling occurs and the lease simply expires.
The duration of the lease may be extended when drilling or production starts. This enters into the period of time known as the secondary term, which applies for as long as oil and gas is produced in paying quantities.[4]
The division order[edit]
A division order is a binding contract between a mineral rights lessee, which is usually an oil or gas company, and the purchaser of oil and/or gas extracted from the property. The purpose of the division order is to show a schedule of how the mineral revenues are divided up between the oil company and the owners of the mineral rights. The division order is a contract that must be negotiated by the purchaser and the lessee. Some common basic terms that are typically be decided on are:
- The term of the lease. Usually there is a primary term and a secondary term. Each term has conditions set up either by the lessor or lessee to fulfill.
- The royalty rate. This is how the rates are divided and how it is calculated from the revenues produced from the mineral rights.
- If the lessor receives a bonus
- If there is a delay rental agreement—any delay in production by the lessee for a negotiated period, the lessee can pay the lessor a negotiated amount of money per year to keep the contract active
- If there is a "shut-in royalty" agreement—royalties are paid at a negotiated rate per acre, only while the well is not producing oil or gas
Many other line items can be negotiated by the time the contract is complete. When all parties come to an agreement the division order states how much revenue goes to each party involved.
Royalty check[edit]
Mineral owners may receive a monthly royalty check if oil, gas, or any other substances of value are extracted from below the surface and either sold or used by an oil and gas operating company. The royalty paid is a function of the net value of the proceeds from the sale of the oil, gas, or other substance, multiplied by the owner's revenue interest decimal, less any amounts deducted for taxes or other deductions.
The revenue decimal used to calculate the amount of an owner's royalty check is calculated with the following equation:
- A = Net Mineral Acres owned
- U = Number of Mineral Acres in the oil and gas drilling unit or pool
- R = The Royalty assigned to the mineral right owner by the oil and gas lease covering his or her minerals
- P = Participation Factor assigned to the tracts owned by the mineral owner as described in a unit agreement
- Y = Additional Ownership Factor assigned to the owner's mineral rights by any other arrangement or agreement
Revenue interest decimal = (A÷U) × R × P × Y
It is common for royalty checks to fluctuate between pay periods due to monthly changes in oil or gas prices, or changes in the volumes produced by the associated oil or gas wells. Additionally, royalties may cease altogether if the associated wells quit producing marketable quantities of oil or gas, if the operating company has changed hands and the new operator has not yet established a new payment account for the owner, or if the operating company or product purchaser is missing appropriate paperwork or proper documentation of changes in ownership or contact information.

The Tumultuous And Parallel Lives Of The Jesse Jacksons
Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. and his son Jesse Jackson, Jr. have been an active part of the Democratic party – and American political life – for more than half a century. But has their dynasty come to a close?
2. Jesse Jackson, Sr.
Born: 1941
Grew up: In South Carolina.
Schooling: A racially segregated high school. He became student class president.
3. Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Born: 1965
Grew Up: In South Shore on Chicago's west side
Schooling: Le Mans Military Academy and St. Albans School in Washington D.C. He wrote that he struggled academically in school because of his ADHD, but did well in sports.
5. JJ Sr.
Undergrad: Went to the University of Illinois with a football scholarship. He said he faced racial discrimination at UofI, prompting a transfer to North Carolina A&T State University for a degree in sociology.
Post-graduate: Received a scholarship to the Chicago Theological Seminary. He left the seminary right before earning his master's so that he could devote his life to the civil rights movement. He was ordained a minister in 1968, and eventually given his Master's of Divinity. This means people can call him Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr.
6. JJ Jr.
Undergrad: A&T with a degree in political science.
Post-graduate: Masters from Chicago Theological Seminary; did not become an ordained minister. This means people can't call him Reverend Jesse Jackson Jr.
He then went to law school at the University of Illinois, convincing his wife, Sandi Jackson, to transfer from Georgetown to be with him. He never took the bar exam.
8. JJ Sr.
He spent his formative years working closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When King died, Jackson was considered by many to be his rightful successor to lead the civil rights movement.
9. JJ Jr.
He spent most his younger years working for his dad. He became the director of the civil rights foundation JJ Sr. had started, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, and the Reverend got him a position as part of the Democratic National Committee in 1988.
11. JJ Sr.
In 1984, he ran for President of the United States, becoming only the second black person to run for office. Jackson won 18.2 percent of vote in the Democratic Primary, losing the nomination to Walter Mondale. He ran for president a second time in 1988 but failed to capture the nomination, though won 11 states.
He spent 1992 from 2000 working at CNN, hosting his show "Both Sides with Jesse Jackson." It was spoofed on Saturday Night Live, which wouldn't be the first time Jackson had gotten involved with the program.
13. JJ Jr.
In 1995, he ran for Congress, for the 2nd District seat in Illinois, ignoring his father's advice to instead run for local office in Chicago. He won.
Jackson was reelected to Congress several times.
He waffled back and forth several times over whether he would run for mayor but ultimately decided not to pursue it. In 2008, he spoke at the Democratic National convention.
Both Jackson's were actively involved in the 2008 election.
18. JJ Sr.
In 2001, it was revealed that he had had a child out of wedlock with a staff member at Rainbow/Push, and reports indicated that she may have been overly compensated for her work. JJ Sr. announced that he would be stepping back from the public eye "to revive my spirit and reconnect with my family."
19. JJ Jr.
In 2008, he was accused of involvement in the Blagojevich corruption scandal, allegedly offering to raise money for the former Illinois Governor so that he could be placed in President Obama's empty Senate seat. This landed him a spot on the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington list of the "15 most corrupt members of Congress."
As part of the Blagojevich scandal, it was revealed that in 2010, JJ Jr. had an affair with a nightclub hostess who was flown to Chicago by a fundraiser of his. Jackson allegedly asked the fundraiser to help raise money for the senate seat.
That investigation is ongoing, and in 2012, it was reported that he was also being looked at by the FBI for possible campaign finance improprieties. He'd previously been investigated for not returning a donation received by fundraiser John Huang for his 1995 campaign. Huang was convicted of campaign finance fraud.
He was also very publicly in and out of treatment for bipolar disorder. During this time he was seen meeting with some ladies who were not his wife.
Though he barely campaigned, JJ Jr. handily won reelection for Congress with over 60 percent of the vote. However, he resigned a few weeks later. Here is Congressman Bobby Rush holding Jackson's resignation letter as Congressman Danny Davis stands by.
And in January, his wife Sandi Jackson left her position on Chicago City Council. In a letter to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, she said that she could not adequately represent her district "while dealing with very painful family health matters."
25. JJ Sr.
As of now, it's unclear what the legacy of the Jackson family will be. JJ Sr. is still involved in activism. He's helped negotiate with high-profile leaders of state around the world and was vocal around issues like the death of Trayvon Martin and Hurricane Katrina. He's often called upon to speak at the memorials of high-profile members of the black community, many of whom he counts as friends.
Since leaving office, his son has kept out of the public eye.
And despite their mixed familial legacy, the elder Jackson will always have this appearance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1990.
