PETALING JAYA: He has a small physique but Zulfahmi Khairuddin can walk tall in the motor-racing arena knowing he has shattered the perception that Malaysians cannot compete on the world stage.
With the psychological barrier broken, former ace Shahrol Yuzy expects Zulfahmi to scale greater heights in the Moto3 World Championships next season.
The AirAsia-SIC-Ajo rider closed off his third season in style – with a second career podium finish in a thrilling Valencia Grand Prix race on Sunday.
Zulfahmi fought his way back from 17th on the starting grid to take a well-deserved third place.
His first podium – a second placing at his home race in Sepang last month – was a breakthrough as he was only denied the chequered flag at the second last turn by German Sandro Cortese, who went on to take the world title.
But his second podium was equally satisfying as he achieved it on a wet track and after struggling throughout the weekend.
Zulfahmi finished eighth overall with 128 points, an improvement from last year's 18th placing with 30 points. It was no surprise then when he earned the Most Improved Rider in Moto3 award from the organisers.
Team owner Aki Ajo had offered a race seat in the factory outfit for the 21-year-old Malaysian even before he secured his first podium and his faith has been justified.
With better crew support and more confidence, Shahrol believes Zulfahmi can reap more success next year.
"He got the top bike this year and was able to produce competitive lap times. It's just that he was a bit afraid to be aggressive in the first few races," said Shahrol.
"But towards the second half of the season, we saw him leading races on a few occasions, though he could not hold on till the end.
"Winning the first podium at Sepang gave him the perfect confidence boost and now this. I watched on television and I was proud with the way he fought his way up in Valencia.
"It's not easy handling a bike on a slippery track and, what more, in Spain – where the current world champions all come from.
"I believe Zulfahmi has what it takes to fight for more podiums and win races. If he starts doing that, there is a chance to fight for the championship next year.
"I am proud as he showed the world that Malaysians can be competitive if we have the right support, patience and commitment," added Shahrol, who raced in the 250cc class of the World Motorcycle Championships from 2000-2002 and now manages the Pachie Yuzy Honda Racing team in the AAM Malaysia Petronas Cub Prix Championships.
It was also Shahrol who discovered and polished Zulfahmi's riding skills – paving the way for his entrance into the world stage.

HoopsHype Andrew Nicholson rumors
Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that a trade with those two players as the principles could happen as soon as this week and potentially could be expanded to include Magic forward Andrew Nicholson and a future first-round pick as compensation for the highly coveted Bledsoe. ESPN.com
Clippers veteran forward Caron Butler likely would be included in the deal to make the salary-cap math work, but sources say the teams are discussing a variety of options. And Rivers, just handed a large say in personnel matters by the Clippers, has to weigh in. ESPN.com
The L.A. Clippers seem to have done a good job outing the Orlando Magic and their pursuit of Eric Bledsoe. Sources say the Clippers are making sure there isn't a better offer out there for Bledsoe than the package that Orlando is said to be constructing. As of last night, it seemed the Magic's deal was centered around Arron Afflalo and possibly last year's first-round selection Andrew Nicholson. There was talk that a protected 2015 first-round pick would be included, basically replacing the draft asset the Clippers had to surrender to get Doc Rivers out of Boston. The Magic would in return get Bledsoe and forward Caron Butler. The deal is far from done, according to sources, as both the Clippers and the Magic are exploring other options, but some of the players involved in the deal believe it may happen on draft night, assuming the Clippers can't find a better deal. HoopsWorld
Magic rookie forward Andrew Nicholson has been chosen as a replacement for the Rising Stars Challenge game at the All-Star weekend in Houston. Nicholson replaces Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond, who can't play because of a back injury. Nicholson has appeared in 48 games this season for Orlando and made his 14th start against Portland on Sunday night. The 19th overall pick in last year's draft entered the game averaging 7.6 points and 3.5 rebounds. ESPN.com
Adrian Wojnarowski: Orlando's Andrew Nicholson chosen to replace injured Andre Drummond in Rising Stars game on All-Star weekend, league source tells Y! Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
"It's absurd that he has let all these kids down," says Joey Kratt, whose 7-year-old son Donovan had registered to go to the Dwight Howard youth basketball camp. That's right, there will be a Dwight Howard youth basketball camp next week in Orlando except there is one small problem: Dwight Howard won't actually be there. Instead Andrew Nicholson, the Magic's first-round draft pick, will fill in for him. With all due respect to Nicholson, this is like buying tickets to see the E Street Band and Justin Bieber is filling in for Springsteen. Orlando Sentinel
Josh Robbins: True MT @wdboinsidemagic: WDBO learns Dwight Howard will NOT be at his basketball camp Aug. 13 & 14. Andrew Nicholson to take DH's place. Twitter
Evan Dunlap: All-Summer-League 1st team: Alec Burks, Lance Stephenson, Austin Daye, Andrew Nicholson, Miles Plumlee Twitter
The Orlando Magic have signed rookie forward Andrew Nicholson, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed. NBA.com
Evan Dunlap: St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt has used the word "tremendous" at least six times describing Nicholson's offensive skill. Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: Nicholson will be the Bonnies first 1st round pick since Bob Lanier was selected first overall in 1970. Twitter
St. Bonaventure forward Andrew Nicholson is unlikely to get past the Boston Celtics at Nos. 21 and 22, but the Houston Rockets (Nos. 12, 16 and 18) and Denver Nuggets (No. 20), also have interest in him sources said. Yahoo! Sports
Andrew Nicholson is a hot name right now as teams in the late lottery are considering him and there's an excellent chance that he will land somewhere in the teens on draft night. There are a number of teams attempting to move up for him, and it's unlikely that he would fall past Orlando at 19 or Denver at 20. We hear OKC is one team that could be looking to add a mid-first rounder to grab him, with Eric Maynor as possible trade bait. NBADraft.net
The Heat also have a first-round pick, No. 27, this week that they are expected to use on a backup big man such as Fab Melo of Syracuse, Andrew Nicholson of St. Bonaventure or Festus Ezeli of Vanderbilt depending on who might be available. ESPN.com
Tom Moore: Evan Turner & Xavier Silas worked out after #Sixers predraft session. Lavoy Allen chatted with former A-10 rival Andrew Nicholson. Twitter
The Sixers, who have the 15th, 45th, and 54th overall picks in next week's draft, will bring in five more players Saturday, all of them big men. The group includes: John Henson, a 6-10 forward (13.7 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per game), and Tyler Zeller, a 6-11 center (16.3 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 1.5 bpg), both from North Carolina; Baylor 6-10 forward Perry Jones (13.5 ppg, 7.6 rpg); Mississippi State 6-10 forward Arnett Moultrie (16.4 ppg, 10.5 rpg), and St. Bonaventure 6-9 forward Andrew Nicholson (18.5 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 2.0 bpg).

The Monday workout will also feature guard Cameron Tatum (Tennessee) and forwards Kevin Jones (West Virginia), Kris Joseph (Syracuse) and Andrew Nicholson (St. Bonaventure). Memphis Commercial Appeal

The fledgling online healthcare space is attracting venture capitalists and private equity funds. Consumer healthcare IT service providers such as Practo, HelpingDoc and Lybrate have either raised or are in the process of raising funds to expand their network bases.
The funds raised by each e-healthcare start-ups may not be substantially high, but venture capitalists have begun discovering their potential. Industry officials said an estimated Rs 60 crore ($10 million) could have found its way into the sector over the first eight months of 2014. And with Bangalore-based online e-healthcare platform Practo likely to raise an upward of $15 million, the industry may see an investment of around Rs 150 crore in the segment.
Delhi-based HelpingDoc, a website for booking doctor's appointments, has recently raised funds worth $1.5 million (Rs 10 crore) from Singapore-based Senior Marketing System (SMS). Similar platform, Lybrate is also said to have raised $1.23 million from a venture fund and DocTree, too, secured a funding of Rs 1 crore earlier this year.
Amit Bansal, founder and CEO, HelpingDoc, said, "We have recently raised about Rs 10 crore from a Singapore-based Japanese company called SMS. Earlier, we raised around $0.25 million as seed funding in 2012. Right now, the current fund infusion is sufficient enough to expand our model and we would not be looking at raising more funds in the next 12-18 months."
The e-healthcare provider, with its network in Delhi and the NCR region, plans to expand into other cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune and Hyderabad. It currently has a base of 4,000-5,000 doctors. The website gets 1 lakh visitor every month of which 3-5% gets translated into actual patients.
Shashank ND, co-founder and CEO, Practo, said, "We have an aggressive expansion plan in place. After India and Singapore, we now want to enter new geographies. In the next 12 months, we would be looking at expanding in other Southeast Asian markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand and also to the Middle East. We will also tap 26 tier II cities in India in the next 12-18 months. For our expansion drive, we would be needing fund and ideally we think we would be raising over $15 million. However, we are yet to finalise on the amount."
Practo has earlier raised $4 million from Sequoia Capital. The company has 400 employees at present and expects to take that number to 1000 by mid 2015. Practo is also mulling opportunities to bring diagnostics and hospitals on its online platform.
Both Shashank and Bansal said that the space has a lot of potential with majority of the market still being untapped.
"There are 1 million medical practitioners in India but only 2.5% of doctors have been brought on the online platform. Rest 97.5% is yet to be tapped. This leaves immense room for growth. The industry is still at a very nascent stage with an estimated size of about Rs 50 crore at present, but the potential market size is worth Rs 1,000 crore. We are quite optimistic that this sector will have a similar growth as we have seen in the case of the e-commerce business," said Bansal, adding that till now it is the international VCs who are taking interest to invest in the segment. "The business model is yet to be proven. So, as and when we attain a maturity, I think we will see investments coming from Indian VCs as well," he added.
The healthcare industry, which was worth $80 billion in 2013-14, is expected to touch $170 billion by 2017. Shashank said, "The e-healthcare industry is getting a lot of traction, thanks to the increase in internet penetration. Around 25% of the entire healthcare industry by 2017 is expected to be powered by e-healthcare segment."
He also said that big global players such as Zocdoc.com, Practice Fusion and Healthtap are all looking at Asia and India as the next potential market for them to enter.

Thatcher 'sparked storm of opinions,' bishop tells mourners
More News from Agence France-Presse
LONDON — The Bishop of London told mourners at former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral on Wednesday that she had sparked a "storm of conflicting opinions".
Thatcher's coffin was carried into St Paul's Cathedral after being applauded by thousands of people lining the route, although several hundred protesters turned their backs in protest.
Queen Elizabeth II led 2,300 mourners in the cathedral including Prime Minister David Cameron, three of his predecessors and guests from 170 countries.
The funeral service was strongly influenced by Thatcher's strict Methodist upbringing.
After a bible reading from Thatcher's American-accented granddaughter Amanda, the Bishop of London Richard Chartres said the point of the funeral service was to remember the person, not the politician.
"After the storm of a life led in the heat of political controversy, there is a great calm," the bishop said.
"The storm of conflicting opinions centers on the Mrs. Thatcher who became a symbolic figure — even an -ism.
"Today the remains of the real Margaret Hilda Thatcher are here at her funeral service," he said.
"There is an important place for debating policies and legacy; for assessing the impact of political decisions on the everyday lives of individuals and communities.
"Parliament held a frank debate last week — but here and today is neither the time nor the place."
The body of Britain's first woman prime minister, who was in office from 1979 to 1990, was to be taken after the service to be cremated.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The turnips were perfectly cooked, but the miso butter was a bit too intense. If I make it again, I'll use a more mild miso and add some warm water to thin it out.
I hate to admit it - because I used high-quality Japanese turnips from an organic market - but I think the delicious sauce, and not the flavor of the turnips, makes this dish. It was lick-the-bowl good.
Turnips are naturally bitter, and the miso, butter, and mirin are just the thing to counter that bitterness. I found myself licking the spoon I used to stir the turnips around -- to me, that's the sign of a good recipe. I used somewhat larger turnips, so I actually sliced them into 8ths, and they were done after fifteen minutes as the recipe predicts. Will definitely make this again.
Can't say it was a four forker for me--the turnips had a somewhat bitter note to them--and overall, the dish seemed lacking. If I made it again--I think I might add in additional cup or two of miso broth at the end--and parhaps some tiny shrimp--or gyoza dumplings--and make it more of a soup.
Butter is a rare ingredient in traditional Japanese cooking but it went so well with the miso and really added an extra depth to the flavor of this dish. Very easy too. I'll make it again when we get another crop of fresh Japanese turnips from our garden.
I had a bunch of Japanese turnips that I had no idea what to do with, and this recipe was most definitely the answer. I definitely didn't have 3 pounds of them, or probably even an entire pound so my estimations of other ingredients could have been off, but this was delicious! I'll definitely be making again, perhaps as a side for a fancy dinner party. The greens were delicious and I loved the miso butter. Excellent!
This is the best turnip recipe. I was about to give up on ever liking turnips, but then this recipe came along. Now I love them and I think I will look no further and just eat turnips this way forever. Thank you!

Experts: Exercise Crucial for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Dec. 10, 2010 -- New guidelines jointly issued by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Diabetes Association call for people with type 2 diabetes to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise over the course of at least three days during the week, and not to skip more than two days of exercising.
Strength training, using weights to develop muscle mass, is also important in diabetes management. Resistance training should be part of a diabetes patient's exercise regimen, according to the new guidelines, which are published in the December issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
Exercise is critical to reducing the risk of diabetes, as well as helping people with diabetes improve insulin and blood sugar production. Exercise may also improve a diabetes patient's lipid profile, such as lowering the levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood, and also lead to losing weight.
The authors of the guidelines note that sustained intensity and duration of aerobic activity is important and may likely achieve biological effects that cannot be achieved from mild physical activity alone. Patients with type 2 diabetes may be hesitant to exercise, but the authors say the benefits far outweigh potential risks and that doctors play a role in encouraging diabetic people to exercise.
"Many physicians appear unwilling or cautious about prescribing exercise to individuals with type 2 diabetes for a variety of reasons, such as excessive body weight or the presence of health-related complications," says Sheri R. Colberg, PhD, FACSM, an exercise physiologist and professor of exercise science at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., who chaired the writing group. "However, the majority of people with type 2 diabetes can exercise safely, as long as certain precautions are taken. The presence of diabetes complications should not be used as an excuse to avoid participation in physical activity."
Recently, the CDC reported that as many as one in three Americans could have diabetes by 2050. About 24 million people in the U.S. have diabetes and 60 million are estimated to have prediabetes, a condition in which blood sugar and insulin are approaching abnormal levels. One in three Americans born in 2000 are estimated to develop diabetes later in life.

Avery Brooks was freakin' EPIC as Joran. So,
creepy. I heard he was even creepier on the dailies, and they had to ask him to tone it done, so one can only wonder what the first few takes were like! But for all those of you who were curious as to what Hannibal Lecter would sound like when crossed with a Catholic priest ... well, now you know ...
Other than that, I was kind of "meh" on the episode. It was fun to see the other actors get to play different roles. Quark playing a female was of course milked for humor, and the others did a serviceable job as well. I really liked Kira as the first host, he mannerisms were great, letting you know this was a completely different person without being hammy. I do think Leeta being part of it was kind of out of left field. I remember reading on Memory Alpha that the writers had planned before this to establish that there was a friendship between Jadzia and Leeta, but they never wrote those scenes, so we just had to sort of accept that they were appparently close enough for Jadzia to ask her to do this.
I thought the whole Kurzon was in love with Jadzia thing was kind of wierd. As others have pointed out, how would she not know that already, since she carries his memories? And how does that work once he's reintigrated into her pysche or whatever? I did enjoy the conversation between her and Odo at the end, although they didn't really revisit how the experience seemed to have bonded them after this.

Mexico's Bright Light
Even as the country around it sinks into a morass of drug-fueled crime, Mexico City has remained surprisingly safe.
- By Larry KaplowLarry Kaplow is a freelance journalist in Mexico City. You can follow him on Twitter: @larrykaplow.
Let's say you've just been burgled in Mexico City. These days, you'd be wise to call the "Citizens Council for Public Security and the Prosecution of Justice in the Federal District." Located in a modest colonial-style building downtown, the Citizens Council will dispatch a legal expert to your home. He or she will file the crime report on the spot, using a laptop connected by teleconference with the prosecutor's office, at no cost to you. As a result, the authorities know that you have an influential middleman on your side. And you avoid a trip to the prosecutor's office, sparing you wasted hours begging for attention, shakedowns for bribes, and possibly even charges that you committed a crime yourself — common hassles that render most crimes in Mexico unreported.
The Citizens Council initiative sprang from the chaos that existed in the late 1990s, when the Mexican capital was known as the nation's criminal epicenter. Mexico City was infamous for ransom, murder, and "express kidnappings" in which cabbies and accomplices hijacked clients and drained their ATMs. "It was ungovernable," says Fernando Schutte, a real estate executive who led a movement against crime that helped create the council.
Yet over the past decade, even as the country around it has descended into drug-fueled bloodshed, Mexico City has transformed itself into an unlikely crime-fighting success story. And what's more, that achievement has come amid a transition to democracy — a process that has often been accompanied by a rise in lawlessness in many other parts of the world. It was just 12 years ago that Mexico, a historically divided and restive country, ended 71 years of one-party rule sustained by rigged elections and brutal repression. In the years since then, Mexicans have watched rival mafias capitalize on weak domestic institutions as they fight each other and prey on the innocent for access to the booming U.S. drug market. Some 50,000 citizens have lost their lives in the resulting violence.
But Mexico City has managed to escape the carnage. According to the United Nations, the capital's murder rate in 2009 was 8.4 homicides per 100,000 residents (approaching New York's 5.6). That contrasts starkly with a national rate of 14.6 nationwide the same year; last year that figure soared to 19.4. From 2002 to 2011, the capital's murder rate increased by a mere 2 percent; nationwide it was up about 47 percent over the same period, according to government figures. Where 163 cars were stolen daily in Mexico City in 1998, police say, 53 are stolen today. There's a feeling of comparative safety in the capital. "It's relative, but it's real," says Pablo Piccato, director of Columbia University's Institute of Latin American Studies, who researches the history of crime in Mexico City. People and businesses now move there from areas dominated by violent gangs. Once-ubiquitous pirate taxis were impounded and you can now hail a cab off the street. People use their iPads on the crowded subways.
The capital has achieved its success through a mix of creative coping strategies (like the privately funded Citizens Council) and political will. Unlike many other parts of the country, Mexico City has made a point of collecting taxes and investing the money in public safety. Unlike puny local security forces around the country, Mexico City has muscle. The city of 8.8 million people has three times more police — about 1,061 cops per 100,000 population — than the national average, according to watchdog group Mexico Evalua. You see them on foot, motorcycles, bicycles, or in cars every few minutes. Around 11,600 security cameras have been installed in the last few years. Court procedures now allow video evidence, reducing the need for witnesses, who can be scared off by crooks. The city has written procedures for police to follow, like how to arrest or use handcuffs, which are lacking in many municipalities. It has trained law enforcement staff to collect and analyze crime stats, which were an afterthought in the past, and made commanders answer for them.
The city's use of breathalyzers, which experts say have curbed drunk driving, typifies its aptitude for pragmatic, if not ideal, solutions. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's consulting firm, hired by business leaders, recommended that all police carry them. Local city officials knew that that would be too expensive – and also that the devices could be manipulated by cops to extract graft from innocents. So they deploy them specifically at organized checkpoints with a doctor and human rights monitor on hand to verify the results. It's not as good as having one in every squad car, operated by honest cops, but it helps.
The focus now is on building trust in the police who, as in so many countries, served in the past mainly to protect elites from the people, and often bent the law accordingly. In police headquarters, amid screens showing incoming reports and video of key intersections, Mexico City's Undersecretary for Intelligence and Information Pedro Ibarra describes how cops started patrolling beats of just a few city blocks last year instead of the much wider areas they roamed before. The cops went door to door, giving residents the photos and cell phone numbers of district police chiefs. The program, says Ibarra, cuts reaction times, enables better analysis of trends, and reaps intelligence. He says police making their introductions recently encountered a baker who immediately complained about a local protection racket — a scourge in much of Mexico. Police arrested the extortionists when they came to collect.
The private sector, meanwhile, has helped to refurbish streets, businesses, and housing in the once-frightening historic downtown, a focal point for people from around the city. A series of mayors, including incumbent Marcelo Ebrard (who hosted the Giuliani mission when he was security chief in a previous administration), have stressed the "recuperation of public spaces" by improving parks and other meeting areas to foster a sense of security. Mexico City also benefits from having a better welfare safety net than in other cities.
There are shortfalls obvious to any resident. The police emphasis is on preventing disruptive violence while other crime is tolerated or even abetted, like the drug sales at subway stops, ubiquitous black markets in counterfeit goods, and even the self-appointed attendants who control curbside parking for obligatory tips. "Crime is fought, but also managed," concedes Edna Jaime, Mexico Evalua general director. Police settle traffic infractions with streetside bribes. At other times they do nothing. "The thieves steal and the police are right next to them," fumes Victor Gomez, a clothes vendor in a working class neighborhood. Three cruisers were nearby but he said he wouldn't bother calling police and didn't when he received a common "extortion" call from people threatening his family. He just hung up.
Like many other places struggling in the wake of dictatorship, the rule of law remains weak. Mexico Evalua says the capital has twice as many prisoners awaiting trial and three times the number of reported rights abuses as the national average. (Amnesty International and the U.S. State Department have both recently faulted human rights abuse on the national level.) People pay bribes to get out of jail even when they have completed their sentences. It's hardly encouraging that, according Gustavo Fondevila, a justice specialist at the capital's CIDE research institute, the use of torture to extract confessions has gone from "systematic" a decade ago to "sporadic" now. Last year police were videoed holding a suspect's head under water.
The authorities allow scant transparency. Unlike in the United States, home of Miranda Rights, judges rarely review police actions. "There's practically no jurisprudence," Fondevila says. Police cliques, he says, divide up graft and "mafias," in a prosecutor's office infamous for abuse still confound reform efforts. But new investigators, brought in under tighter screening, often blow the whistle on what they see. Fondevila recommends broad purges. Others recommend outside inspectors with powers to cleanse the force. A grim reminder came this week amid reports that three federal police were shot and killed in the capital's airport while trying to apprehend fellow police suspected of ties to narcos.
The city clearly needs better cops. A couple years ago the city required police to have high school diplomas, but some 14,000 still don't. Again, that compares favorably with the dreadful picture around the country, where studies a few years ago showed that 70 percent of the country's local police had less than an 8th-grade education.
Yet despite all this Mexico City has managed to hold off the wave of massacre and mutilation afflicting much of Mexico. One theory holds that there's little incentive for gangsters to inflame the capital because it's not on strategic trafficking routes along the coasts or the U.S. border. That calculation could change. But experts say the criminals know too that they would pay a price for upsetting the capital's normalcy because of the concentration of law enforcement. And that has helped the capital to become a model, however imperfect, as the country weathers a perilous time.

Do One Thing: Reuse Paperbags As Shipping Envelopes.
You know that sometimes, no matter how hard you try to remember them, you forget your bags when you head to the grocery store. We all do it, so don't feel bad! I have always asked for paper bags when do forget so I can use them at home to hold our paper recycling, but now I have started using them for another purpose – shipping unbreakables through the USPS. Normally, everyone goes out to their favorite store and buys envelopes for $2-$4 each, but why bother if you are just shipping a book or something like that? I just wrap the book up in the paper, put some tape on it, write the addresses on the "front" and take it to the post office. Voila, free shipping supplies!
While I do not advocate replacing your reusable bags with paper bags on each grocery trip, if you do ship a lot of unbreakables through the mail keep this in mind next time you go to buy a padded envelope. You might already have something you can use right at home!Like this post? If so, please consider subscribing to my full feed RSS. Or, if you would prefer, you can subscribe by Email:

Great idea!
I use them as gift bags too. They look great with a bit of raffia or reused ribbon tied around the top, or last year, I stamped snowflakes on them with white paint for holiday gifts.
You can also use them to wrap small gifts. Just open along the seams and lay flat.
Fun to let kids decorate with markers or stamps or use super cool wired ribbons.
Thanks for this simple and direct idea. I will start trying to save some paper bags as shipping envelopes.

"5, Westbourne Grove Terrace, W.,
"Thursday [1863].
"Dear Bates,
"Supposing you are still in Leicester I write a few lines to tell you that I have just finished reading your book [The Naturalist on the River Amazons --Ed.], from which I have derived much pleasure. It has recalled to me old and familiar scenes which had almost faded away from memory like a dream.
"I am therefore, perhaps, not well-fitted to judge of its effect on the public; as for me it has an altogether peculiar charm, but it is so thoroughly well written, the style is so easy and the matter generally so new and interesting that I am sure most persons who will read it carefully will be pleased and delighted.
"The bits of Natural History are very good, and they too have a charm for me on account of our opinions on such topics which, perhaps, others may not feel in an equal degree. Your vindication of butterfly study at Vol. II. p. 326, is in particular most admirable. Your estimate of the character of the Indian is, I think, very just, and you have dwelt upon it so that I think it will leave a distinct impression upon any reader.
"The most interesting part to me is the latter half of Vol. II., as it is the most novel. To others the whole book will probably be equally delightful.
"I see no signs of labour in the style, neither do I detect any of that flowery exaggeration you had led me to expect. There is not a line nor an epithet on [[2]] [p. 65] subjects of natural scenery, vegetable and animal life, that I cannot fully support and agree with. On the whole I must congratulate you on having produced so extremely pleasant and interesting a book, which I am sure will delight all who know you, and if the general public do not also appreciate it, it will show that they have no taste left for unadulterated and unsensational books of travel. Thanks for the kind manner in which you have mentioned my name.
"I remain, dear Bates,
"Yours very faithfully,
"Alfred R. Wallace."

BEREA, Ohio -- Brandon Weeden won the Browns' starting quarterback job without playing a game.
Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur announced what had been an open secret after practice on Monday: Weeden, the No. 22 overall pick, will start Friday night in Detroit.
"Brandon is the starter and we're moving forward," Shurmur said. "We're rolling and I'm not looking back."
Weeden has taken snaps with Cleveland's first-team offense throughout training camp. He was pleased by the decision.

Early '90s WR250 Yamaha
OK, tell me about your two stroke version of this bike. I just bought a '93 version with low time on it. Bike rips. Have you changed anything? What do you recommend???
you should re-title your thread like, wr250 2t info or something like that. I am a noob on this form as well, i had to learn the hard way.
Unfortunately i cant help, i own a ktm 250sx and a 1983 tt600 and i have never seen a wr250 in person.
Best of luck from a fellow noob :D
I had a '92-great bike! To make the bike more tractable for eastern (NY, PA, NJ) enduros & scrambles, I swapped out the aluminum clutch plates for steel (Yamaha replacement parts), this added inertia was noticeable, though i also added a 12 OZ. flywheel, which made the power deliver just electric. It was nearly impossible to stall the bike and perfect for gnarly, tight root infested trails. Yamaha also had an intake spacer that broadened the power delivery. In all, my changes made the bike trialsy, though reliable and easy to ride in enduros. Other more personal changes included a seat foam (taller) kit and pro-taper bars.
With the mods removed, the bike was an able mx'er.
thanks for the info. I'm reading how changing the Mikuni carb out for a Keihin PWK carb transforms the bike. Low speed throttle is kinda iffy but the mid to upper range, the bike is a rocket. Having more fun on it than my YZ400F I used to have
I had a 98 for awhile (the same as the US 97model), but only kept it for a few months.
Power was just a bit much and it was a bit loud for my liking.
We also had a road registrable version, but unfortunately mine wasn't one of them...
And considering I already had a KDX200 and a KTM200EXC (both road registrable here) I got rid of it.
Fun bike though.
The 2 stroke WR 250's were basicaly the same bike as the YZ's of that era with a wide ratio transmission and a larger tank.
The only problem I had with mine (It was an 89 YZ250wrw) Was the flat slide carb was a POS (made for very hard starting) Went to a VM mikuni and solved the issues I was having. otherwise it was a matter of setting up the suspension for me and I rode the heck out of it. (oh and check the linkage bearings. mine where bad when I got it used from a bike shop. Just put it up on a stand and lift the rear wheel. should be no play.)
Just had the shock rebuilt and the ugly spring replaced since it was one size too weak for my weight. Hoping the stock fork springs can handle it after getting rid of the 19 year old mud....I mean, oil
I think it had a power valve? (Been a long time) just make sure it is not carboned up if it does. My 89 was a good bike. Fast
A friend of mine has a collection of WR250Z's from 92-97 he even has a 93 WR500 2T which is a ton of fun. 89's were known as the YZ250WR while later years were just WR250Z. Imo they are one of the best 2 stroke dirtbikes of all time even by todays standards. Unlike the YZ they had XC suspension, heavier flywheel with lighting coil, 18" wheel, larger fuel tank, wider gearbox along with a few other changes to make them more trail/xc friendly its really a shame they quit selling them in the US in 97. Unlike a lot of the enduro/xc bikes during the 90's the WR's were NOT detuned in any way shape or form--they rip and are every bit as powerful as the motocross bikes of the time.
My biggest complaint with them is the stock fuel tank on the 94-97's... I don't know what Yamaha was thinking but its like riding with a beach ball between your legs :eek1 A good solution (like the later 4T WR's) is upgrading to the YZ seat and aftermarket desert tank.
Imo the later round slide Mikuni carbs that came on the WR's were not too bad. If yours has one I'd try tuning it in first before you decide to bail on it. The earlier models had the flat slide TM which is a total POS. That said the PWK is an upgrade to anything Mikuni imo :deal
yes, this does have the power valve. I've richened up the float level and needle position since it was running on the lean side on the last ride. Going to test it out this friday. I had a problem back then on it stalling on long downhills with the clutch pulled in back then. Hope this helps
I was trying to remember something about this earlier model and that was it, the YZ250WR. Can't imaging what its like riding a 500
I've tuned carbs before but this Mikuni VM38 is'nt cooperating, I can tell it's way too old school for this motor. I've got a Keihin PWK on order
It's taking forever for JD Jetting to receive new carbs from japan, Got the stocker to work for now.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
When Nancy Silverton, the celebrated pastry chef and baker at Campanile and La Brea Bakery in Los Angeles, decided to add pastries to her shelves of rustic breads, she didn't want the usual suspects: fragile, overdecorated desserts requiring elaborate techniques. She wanted homey baked goods like cheese scones, fruit cobblers, and real jelly doughnuts.
"The pastries we make are deliciously simple and rustic and never too sweet," says Silverton, and they are the stars of her new book, the successor to Nancy Silverton's Breads from the La Brea Bakery. With its handsome layout, clear instructions, and deep, true flavors, Silverton's book is a baker's delight any month of the year. Its more than 150 recipes include La Brea's signature pastries, such as Summer Camp Coffee Cake, Rosemary Corncakes, and Breakfast Bars. Novice bakers can easily whip up quickbreads, muffins, and cookies; experienced bakers can tackle croissants, make homemade lollipops, or head straight for the chapter on doughnuts.

This app does exactly what it says on the tin: it reads out comments from your favorite websites. There are some nitpicky ui problems though. For example, reddit stories show the score but not the number of comments(so a story with lots of votes but few comments is deceptive), and the hard limit of 200 comments read can't be passed. A bit more user testing would go a long way, but despite the toug

March 2012 Re-cap
Aside from busting my miscellaneous spending (compliments of my crazy kitty and an auto-refill of my turnpike toll account), I'd say that this month was a great success! Instead of sending $580 extra to the mortgage, I chose to put it in savings because my refinancing will officially be going through (I hope to have the Clear to Close in April so that my May budget reflects the new payment amount).
Thanks to some extra blogging/writing income, I was also able to pay for my Chicago Marathon flight (~$170), MA state taxes ($84), and $117 in business expenses without touching savings. It also helps that this month was a 3-paycheck month!
Financial Goals:
- $1,200 into savings CHECK–Saved $1,580
- $800 into retirement accounts CHECK
- $600 saved for Ireland trip CHECK
- $580 extra to mortgage Goal modified due to refinancing–sent $200 extra
- $500 for crown molding projects CHECK
- $200 extra to student loans CHECK
- Limit variable spending to $500 Fail
Household Goals:
- Complete entryway decor project Fail
- Crown molding in master bedroom, dining room & kitchen Completed master bedroom

All she wants to eat are fruits and vegetables. And raw pasta. If I want her to eat anything else, I have to feed her by hand and pretend that she's a possum. Or sometimes I just tell her that she has to eat 5 more bites of the food before she can go play. I don't give her anything that she dislikes. But she just doesn't want to eat it and it's always a struggle - every...single....meal. It's worrysome and it's driving me crazy.
I've tried not saying anything, and going by the theory that she will eat what she needs when she gets hungry enough, but then she will literally go all day eating half a package of raw pasta, 5 raw turnips, some lettuce, a carrot, a bunch of basil and dill from the garden, 3 peaches, and a popsicle from my mom. Not anywhere near enough for a child to grow on, even if her belly feels full from all the fiber. And I don't even know if raw pasta is digestible. I don't feel like it's responsible to trust her to eat what her body needs. She just doesn't seem to crave foods with protein or carbohydrates.
I'm starting to feel like a bad mom by engaging in the mealtime struggles. It's obviously not good for her to be coerced to eat at every meal. But I think it is worse for her to not get any good food into her body. Any ideas?
No ideas, just a hug. What she eats seems very, very healthy, if that makes you feel better. (Well, I don`t know about the raw pasta, but everything else seems great.) There are carbs in all fruit and vegetables, so I bet she IS getting atleast a part of the carbs she needs. But it seems like she isn`t getting much protein. Are you vegan, or vegetarian? I ask because I thought about cheese. Would she eat the veggies if you made a cheese sauce?
I really hope you will get a lot of replies.
what about kabobs? If she likes raw veggies skewer raw veg and cubes of cheese and tofu along with it and a hummus to dip the sticks into?
Could you put your focus on having her eat something higher protein/fat weekly (1-2x/week) instead of every day? It's easy to feel like every meal needs to be balanced - even when you know it doesn't need to be and the bigger picture of balanced eating is more important. Might be able to ease the stress for each of you a little bit, yet still get a bit more of something 'better' eaten.
One of my dd's cuts how much and what she eats WAY down during summertime, drinks tons of water and ice. Probably stops gaining weight or even loses some because of this. But eventually when it isn't so hot she'll pick up on eating. It's kinda hard to see cause she's so tiny already and we do feel like she needs to eat more in the first place, but because it's happened before we also know it's just her habit to do this. If it's really hot where you are, that might be going on for your dd too.
Would she like raw tofu (might be sorta like the raw pasta - is that uncooked fresh pasta, right? can you get tofu or ricotta filled for a bit of extra fat/protein? If you're worried about the rawness, you can cook some and keep it in the fridge cold)
Popsicles made with greek yogurt or tofu blended with fruit.
Cold fruit/yogurt or veggie/yogurt soups.
Thanks for the ideas. It is really hot here - maybe that does have something to do with it.
She is nearly vegan. We have pet chickens and eggs, but she doesn't really like them, so she doesn't eat much of them unless I cook with them. And since she doesn't eat too much prepared food, there aren't too many eggs. Sometimes she eats dairy if we go out to eat and she orders a dessert.
I think I will try the popsicle idea. She definitely likes popsicles, and I don't think she would notice if I put some soy yogurt or tofu in them. The kabobs may be appealing to her too.
BTW, the raw pasta is the dried crunchy kind from the bulk aisle. Odd. She seems to have a need to eat strange things like crayons, strings, cloth, sticks, woodchips, glue sticks (yuck!). So I am sort of worried that she has some kind of a nutritional deficiency. We give her a multivitamin and calcium and B12. She looks healthy though - not super skinny, round face, soft skin and hair.....so I don't know.
Pica? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_%28disorder%29 (keep in mind this is a Wikipedia article). Then again, my DD chewed her clothes and paper as a younger kid, but grew out of it. You sound concerned, though, so maybe check this with a doc?
Mom "D" to DD1 "Z" (15) and DD2 "I" (11) DH "M"
I loved sneaking raw pasta when I was a kid! I also remember loving to eat raw rice. DS2 likes it, too, but I limit him to having a few pieces when I'm cooking pasta. I'm curious if their little bodies can digest it.
I agree that having her eat carbs/protein a few times a week makes sense. So much less stressful for you and it should be enough for her growing body. Maybe ask her what textures she likes... and try to cook things that resemble that. It seems like she likes crunchy and chewy. So maybe tofu jerky? I recently saw and bought crunchy edamame at the store. It doesn't have a ton of protein in it, but it's a legume, so that's something.
Jean, feminist mama raising three boys: W (7), E (5) and L (2.15.13)
If she likes crunchy food, to improve on the uncooked pasta you might try dehydrating some cooked black beans in the oven (or a dehydrator) -- they dry out to be a super crunchy snack, and they're loaded with healthy stuff and protein/carbs. I toss mine with a pinch of mild chili powder, salt, nutritional yeast and olive oil, then spread thinly on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for an hour or so, stirring occasionally, until they're really dry. These keep well, too, and make a good purse snack.
ETA: unless they're the little salad turnips, I'd be careful about allowing her to eat so many raw turnips! They taste good, but uncooked turnips are really indigestible and can make her really sick to her stomach if she eats too many. My FIL tells a (really inappropriate for the table) story about a time when he ate too many raw turnips -- every time we make them for dinner, which is often.
I like the bean and lentil ideas. I didn't know that you could dehydrate cooked beans. We'll have to try them.
The turnip she eats are salad turnips. My sister's farm grew a huge amount of them this year. They were tasty, but I had to stop at 2 or 3. I'm sure they would cause stomach upset if eaten in quantity.
Hopefully she doesn't have pica. Maybe I will check with a doctor though, because she likes to eat lots of things on the list in that Wiki article. She always has eaten strange things though. I used to jokingly complain about spending a lot of money buying organic food for her when I spent most of the day removing strange inedible objects from her mouth. When she was 1-4 it was developmentally appropriate, but now maybe it's starting to get on the worrisome side.
My son ate a lot of non-food items (crayons, ash, soap, etc) until we figured out he couldn't eat gluten. He finally started gaining weight and stopped eating non-food.
Hope you get an answer soon! All the best to you and your daughter!
Mom "D" to DD1 "Z" (15) and DD2 "I" (11) DH "M"
I make a smoothie for my son a few days a week. I'll squeeze some fresh OJ, add a few frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 banana, teaspoon coconut oil, few spinach leaves,nuts-almonds and sunflower seed. Also some flax seed and hemp seed. He has gotten tired of them but I only make him a small glass and he has it before he leaves in the morning. You can also mix in some yogurt or kefir. I do it in the vitamix and its really good.
If I know he has had this for breakfast I don't have to worry so much if he has pasta for lunch. Good luck!

Dressed in drab, two military hotties (and All American favorites) Timo and Marco pair up for a little R&R. Marco is a soft spoken Latin stud that joined the military to be the best he could be and find out just how good bunking with a bunch of horny guys could be too. Timo is fresh out of the service, has some major decorations on his uniform and a few notches on his belt. Both of these hunks were in the infantry and Timo just happens to be a specialist in fucking army studs. The two swap war stories and Timo starts to sound like a real vet when he complains about some residual body aches. Marco wouldn't mind getting his hands all over most of the sexy soldier and offers to help stretch him out some. Marco, the tall tanned latino who towers over Timo reaches his broad arms around the scheming soldier. He lifts, cracks and provides some relief to his little friend. Timo is obviously in need of some deeper healing and Marco starts paying attention to the most important muscle of all. Ma

Intel Predicts Ubiquitous, Almost-Zero-Energy Computing By 2020 144
from the day-after-tomorrow dept.
Aren't there some fundamental physical limits on how low your energy usage can be for a given amount of information based on thermodynamics? Is it just the case that they're way, way less than what we're using now?
For any sort of data storage the energy barrier between the two states needs to be large enough that the system doesn't thermodynamically fluctuate between them very often. In practice, this means that the barrier needs to be several times larger than kb*T where kb is the boltzman constant. For computation there's not any hard and fast rule about the energy required, but there's lots of practical ones...
You don't really mean zero. There is a fundamental minimum [wikipedia.org] amount of energy it takes to do a calculation. When Intel says "almost zero energy computing" how far over this limit are they actually talking about? 101% of the Landauer limit? 200%? 1000%?

Three wins out of three and yet, the mood is not as ecstatic as one would expect. "Doesn't matter," quipped Ashley Jackson. But, he offered a more serious reply immediately after.
The ongoing Hockey World League's format has befuddled many as all teams, irrespective of their performance in group matches, go through to the quarterfinals.
"We trained hard in dark and wet weather before the tournament. These six games here will serve as good preparation for the World Cup. It's a strange format," said Jackson.
The 2009 FIH young player of the year converted two penalty corners as England trounced New Zealand 5-1 at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here on Monday.
But, if Jackson is to be believed, his side is yet to play its best hockey. "We have played good bits through the games. In our previous match, there were periods when Germany was better than us.
"We struggled with our energy, especially at the start. But we defended for our lives and held on.
"We showed a bit of class today (against NZ), scored a lot of goals," he said.
England meets Belgium in the quarterfinals and seems a good bet to win a medal. Jackson is certainly driven to win silverware here, claiming that the experience of playing in the 2013 Hero Hockey India League has given him the motivation to excel.
The 26-year-old underwent surgery last summer after playing with a bad ankle for almost a year. The midfielder has three goals to his credit already in this tournament, all from penalty corners.
"I'm reasonably happy with my performance. Before scoring against Germany, I hadn't scored for a long time. The surface is a bit wobbly and harder here.
