Don't use soap/shampoo. Wash with just water. You'll be amazed at the difference!
A few thoughts....
Are you breastfeeding? My neighbor eliminated dairy and her daughter's skin cleared up in a week. Her doc made the recommendation which was great. Many docs treat the symptoms, not the core issue.
If he's on formula or table fed, eliminting dairy from him could go a LONG way.
Also, like the other commenter said, just using water would be just fine. Depending on what age he is, most everything you're going to find at a Target or Walmart is going to have ingredients that are too harsh for sensitive skin (even the sensitive skin formulas). A few really clean options if you want to use soap: Honest Company, Weleda, California Baby, Avalon Organics, Oh My DeVita Baby.
I blog at My Wise Mom and wrote 2 posts about these products and where to find them:
Costco, Nordstroms and Buy Buy Baby also have Honest prodcuts now.
Good luck!
My sons allergist just recommended Vanicream. I found it at Walgreens.
Vaseline. Only thing that worked for us. Tried the natural route with no success.
Ds has bad eczema and the allergist put him on a regimen of Johnson's shampoo, cerave cleanser, and Elta md laser balm moisturizer on full body after every bath. and bath water should not be hot but lukewarm. And pat dry and apply moisturizer to dampened skin it works better. It works like a charm.
My DS has very sensitive skin. Eczema has been an ongoing problem. As an infant the only shampoo/body wash that would not result in a reaction was California baby Super Sensitive. Today he can use a few more lotions but they cannot contain dyes or fragrance. So I alternate between California Baby and Aquaphor. He is 3 now. We still use California Baby shampoo/bodywash.
My daughter gets eczema occasionally, so our pediatrician prescribed a cortisone cream for her, but I found using the Aveno eczema line worked for us. Its main ingredient is colloidal oatmeal, which I prefer to a steroid. Her eczema was really bad when she was little, but we found she had dairy allergy, and switching to a hypoallergenic formula helped it to clear up. She's since outgrown that allergy, but does have a severe peanut allergy.
My dd's allergist recommended Vanicream
Dr. Brommers Castile baby soap. But be careful because it is not tear free and stings like crazy. I used it on my son when he was small. Now he's 1 1/2 and I use Seventh Generation baby shampoo & wash. This one is tear free. It's made with olive oil.
My ds has it so bad, rx medication triamicinolone works great, dove, andost of the time just water, as almost everything irritates the skin
Aveno is my favorite they also make this power that comes in packets you can put in the bath tub that soothes it I love all their products! Take you child to the doctor and they will prescribe you this oil and it works wonders!
My daughter is also allergic to soy & tree nuts!

We picked up these beakers from Build It Green! NYC this weekend. They provide us with an interesting alternative to the typical glass vase's that we have and we created a set with the different sizes.
But Build It Green NYC is much more than recycled glass canisters. They specialize in re-used home elements such as doors, windows, water heaters, cabinets, and other miscellaneous building materials. This marble mantle caught our eye and can be had for a fraction of what it would cost to buy it new.
So the next time you're in Queens stop by or seek out your own local salvage shop which is always much more interesting to browse than Home Depot.

Heavy Topspin is Overrated.
Last night I watched the semifinal of a local 5.0+ tournament and there was this 14yo 5.0 phenom against an 18yo 5.5 topspin monster. The 14yo hit with a modest to normal amount of topspin just to keep the ball in while the 18yo used a full western grip with the typical overworked strokes. Every time the 18yo hit one of the massive topspin FHs the 14yo just nailed it back twice as hard. The massive topspin had no effect on a 14yo. The 14yo won 7-5, 6-3.
I've been noticing a lot of these matchups lately. It seems those who hit with more pace and just enough topspin to keep the ball in are doing more damage than those who try to hit massive topspin. Apparently, all the effort going into hitting massive topspin is robbing them of needed pace.
I know everyone is enamored with topspin, but it begs the questions: Do you really do damage to your opponent with all that topspin? Really? When was the last time a player beat you with topspin?
I agree, if the topspin has some pace
I agree that if you have flat to just needed spin on your shots then you can have an advantage over overworked spin players IF you get your timing used to their ball early in a match and all else is equal (movement, respective technique level, etc). One of 2 things happen:
1. you get your ball deep and they have to pick up on the rise, which is harder to do with a more vertical spin path and not end up with a defensive or short shot
2. your ball goes into their sweetspot / wheelhouse but because your pace is flatter they have to accelerate their racquet fast to get the loopy shot. if you can get the opponent running their capacity to do this consistently is diminished and eventually you get a weak ball you can flatten out for an approach or winner.
I think what throws a flat to mild spin player off more is a lack of rhythm that may result from a non-consistent, often non-pace shot, not necessarily a heavy top spin hitter that is consistent and provides some pace once the ball bounces off the ground.
tell Nadal that.....
it is overrated at the amateur levels up to 5.0. i play with many of these wannabes and topspin junkies types and their topspin are pretty weak. the ball just bounces high but has little pace. they are easier to handle than backspin slices for me. you can break them down pretty easily by just moving them around, hitting on the rise, throw in some slices and short balls, and not give them time to recover and set up.
but topspin at the ATP level is totally different obviously there is a ton of pace mixed in with ridiculous amounts of topspin. so players can still keep the ball inside even with big swings at the ball for crazy passing shots and create insane angles. but guys like nadal use way too much topspin it should be illegal lol
It's also difficult to believe that any 14 y/o can nail it back with "twice the power" that an 18 y/o can generate. Is this 14 y/o green skinned and a freak of nature?
And since when do they have NTRP rated tournaments in Italy?
I don't seen how you can possible conclude that in a flatter v spin match up, the flatter hitting player will prevail and that "top spin has no effect". That's just simplistic nonsense.
Topspin is not overrated. Nadal, Federer and Djokovic have the one of the highest average topspin rpm. It simply has so much more benefits. Some include:
*More depth, height and direction control
*Heavier balls i.e. requires more effort to change direction of the ball
*Less pace is lost
*Causes balls to bounce higher than usual, meaning higher contact point and longer depth
So, how many people play ATP level tennis here? Is the average 4.0 able to hit 4000rpm with heavy pace like Nadal? I would like to see the video please.
Let's be realistic here. How many people are hitting spin and pace like Nadal today? Maybe just Nadal. But, how many are trying to hit spin and pace like Nadal and not doing a very good job? Millions. OTOH, I see people trying to use just enough topspin to keep a ball with heavy pace in, like Djoko does, and getting better results.
Let me make this as clear as I can. I'm not saying to not hit with topspin, I am saying maybe it is more reasonable to just use enough topspin to keep a ball with heavy pace in, rather than put all the energy into creating a 4000rpm ball that just loops through the air and takes it's time arriving. Pace does more damage than spin does. But, if you can do both, like Nadal does, great for you.
I would argue that in case of Nadal it is not exactly
spin AND pace, but rather
spin OR pace
I mean statistically his forehands land more in the middle of the court and then bounce high because of all those rpms. During USO 2009 he hit more flat, penetrating shots instead of his usual spin and it took many by surprise when his forehands landed so deep all the time. But then he went back to his all spin game.
There is an advantage to this spin only game as one does not allow opponent to feed off pace and forces him to develop his own power all the time (and that's what 2011 Djokovic did brilliantly with all those shoulder level backhands) . But then you better be ready for this defensive/survival game and chase every ball the opponent tries to nail (younger/healthier Nadal style)
Heavy topspin provides you with:
-Better consistency
-More angle
-A higher point of contact for your opponent (makes it uncomfortable for him if you're looking for how topspin can be made a weapon)
-The ball will travel much further after bouncing. This combined with the height of the shot may force the opponent back, giving you a court positioning advantage
-It's another shot in your repertoire that you can use to mix things up, disrupting your opponent's rhythm
Topspin is not essential to having a great stroke however it never hurts. As long as you have sufficient physical strength and technique, generating enough power will not be an issue. The best groundstrokes in the game right now are those that possesses both pace and heavy topspin, e.g Fed & Nadal's forehand
Guys, I think we all know what topspin does.
My question is "What is the point of full western grips and overworked strokes, especially on the FH, if they don't do so much damage?" At worst, they create junk balls because the technique is too demanding, and at best they produce a ball that jumps off the bounce and bounces higher than normal. But, those ball get sent back every time.
What I am seeing at the NTRP equivalent of 5.0+ here is way too many people who try to create a lot of spin with their western FHs and crazy looking strokes, but are neutralized by heavy hitters who use a normal amount of topspin. And this is on clay. On cement the advantages of killer topspin are seriously diminished.
And I agree, that "after years of falling into that, it is WAY better to have a mix".
I also see more rec. players that can handle pace but not the big spinny ball. As you said, if you can do both it is the best of both worlds. Find out what gives your opponent the most problems and adjust.
You described that the 18 year old was hitting it with more spin but with less pace. Doesn't that just mean the 14 year old was better? It's not that topspin is better than pace but rather spin helps you put a lot of pace on the ball and still keep it in. It's a little redundant if the shot has no pace to begin with, that's like saying a junk baller is better than a basher.
Junior level and college is a whole different ballgame.
when adding pace to a stroke comparable amount of spin must be added otherwise loss of control. spin is the foundation where you can add pace. that 18 y o hasn't found a way to add pace to his spin and that 14 y o progressed with more balance of spin and power. dismissing spin is silly. but not able to find the balance between the spin and pace is also a limitation. this balance also depends on the competition level. as the level goes up spin becomes more important.
Of course the other extreme is to constantly chip-and-charge putting slice approaches deep in the court (often down the middle so there's no angle) and ankle-high. Make the topspinner constanly have to pass you while hitting the ball from an uncomfortable position.
Heavy topspin works best when it's used by a match smart player, not by a strong dummy who just pummels the ball hard up the middle.
Heavy top allows for increased short angles, running the opponent well past the doubles sidelines. It's also effective for dipping teasing passing shots, to make the netperson volley upwards.
Great for driving tentative players off the baseline, so your short angle works even better.
But no, a dummy hitting hard topspin is not the best player on the courts.
I don't agree if you hit big TS, you can't have big pace.
I do agree if the OP is just saying overworking the TS without some good pace
has little application against good players, but
I don't know anyone who suggests to do that...do you?

"House panel prepares subpoenas for CIA officials."
After Attorney General Mike Mukasey blocked CIA officials from appearing at a closed hearing before Congress last week, the House Intelligence Committee "said Wednesday it has prepared subpoenas to force CIA officials to testify about the agency's secret destruction of interrogation videotapes." The Committee's threat marks "the second challenge to a White House attempt to shut down independent investigations," after "a federal judge rejected an administration effort to keep the courts out of the investigation."

The Senate Environment & Public Works (EPW) Committee released a bipartisan six-year surface transportation bill late yesterday evening. The bill, titled the MAP-21 Reauthorization Act, will be marked up by the committee on Thursday, May 15, at 9:30am.
The EPW Committee has jurisdiction over the major part of the transportation bill, including highways and other traditional transportation issues like bridges and tunnels. Mass transit falls under the jurisdiction of the Senate Banking Committee, while rail and transportation safety issues are handled by the Senate Commerce Committee. The most critical part of transportation reauthorization – funding – is the responsibility of the Senate Finance Committee. These other three committees have not released any proposed reauthorization language for their titles.

On May 30, the California Assembly passed AB 10, a bill that would increase California's hourly minimum wage from $8 to $9.25 in three separate increments over the next three years. Thereafter, the bill would require the minimum wage to adjust annually for inflation.
The bill passed 45-27 with a vote along party lines.
Assemblyman Luis Alejo (D-Salinas) authored the bill in an effort to address the widening income gap. According to Alejo, minimum wages have not kept pace with the cost of living and has equated to a decrease in purchasing power. "We have created a system where we pay workers less but need them to spend more," says Alejo. "That causes middle class families to fall down the economic ladder. It's the reason our middle class is shrinking and the reason we are facing the largest gap between upper- and lower-income Californians in at least 30 years."
The California Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) along with a coalition of business groups, opposes the bill, labeling it a "job killer." The Chamber states that California's economic recovery is still in the infancy stage and that an increase in the minimum wage in 2014 will negatively impact any economic recovery by either limiting available jobs, or worse, creating further job loss.
The measure now goes to the Senate for consideration. Stay tuned for further developments.

Training Tips For The Spooky Horse
Jane Savoie
I know that riding a spooky horse can be challenging and frustrating so here are some tips to help you understand why your horse spooks and to give you some tools to help cope with shying.
1. You might be more patient with your spooky horse when you understand that horses have survived in the wild all these years because of their natural flight response. So, when you think your horse is being unreasonable because he's shying from something that seems benign, change your attitude toward his behavior. Say something like. '"You have incredible survival instincts." or "You don't need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I'll keep you safe."
2. Do you get frustrated when your horse spooks from the same flower pot he saw two minutes ago? Maybe the answer lies with the "theory of the dominant eye".
You see, most of us (including horses) have a dominant eye. To find out which is your dominant eye, keep both eyes open and point at an object like a tree. Then alternately close each eye. You'll find that when you close one eye, your finger doesn't move, but when you close the other eye, your finger jumps to the side. For example, if you close your right eye and your finger doesn't move, that means your dominant eye is your left eye.
The dominant eye explains why a horse tends to shy more when perceived danger is on one particular side of his body. Let's say you're circling to the right and your horse is left eye dominant. He seems pretty secure about his environment because his dominant eye (the left one) is on the outside. He can see his surroundings and keep himself alert and safe from "danger". However, if you're circling to the right and he's right eye dominant, he'll want to whip his head around to the left so he can check out the environment with his right eye. The result is that he spooks more from objects that are on the left side of his body.
3. Here are some "Don't's" for riding the spooky horse.
--Never punish a spooky horse. Shying comes from fear. If you punish your horse for shying, you convince him he was right to be afraid.
---On the other hand, don't soothe him by patting him for "being brave" while he's shying. You're just rewarding behavior you don't want.
--Don't make a nervous horse walk straight up to something scary. That's the most frightening thing you can do. That's like asking a horse to come face to face with a cougar when every instinct tells him to flee from danger.
4. Here are some "Do's".
--If the scary object is at one end of the ring, circle in the middle of the ring. Then, as your horse relaxes, gradually shift your circle toward the scary end of the ring. Your horse doesn't have to eat a whole bale of hay at once. Let him eat the bale a flake at a time. This "slow" way usually ends up being the faster way...and you accomplish your goal with a minimum of resistance and trauma to your horse (and you!).
--When you're at least 15 meters from the scary object, use your inside rein to gently but firmly bend your horse's neck enough to the inside so he can't see it with either eye. Remember, a horse has both binocular vision (like us) and monocular vision where he can see with each eye separately. So, you need to bend the neck enough so he can't see the object with either eye. He won't shy from what he can't see.
--Once you are directly beside the scary object, relax both reins. Many horses are claustrophobic, and you don't want your horse to think he's being "pinned" against something with no escape. That's very scary.
--Don't stare at the scary object. If you focus on it, your horse will too. Look at your surroundings instead.
--Breathe! If you're holding your breathe, you'll convince your horse there's good reason to be afraid. Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, feel your butt lowering down into the barrel of the horse like a centaur.

Terminal diagnosis inspires iron will
Former Marine looks to help others with knowledge gained
And what he'd like to do.
• • •
Today, Treska works as an analyst for the UCSD Health Systems chief of staff while closing in on his degree in kinesiology at San Diego State. In his off hours, he's an advocate for cancer patients — working for them and their families.
After graduation this spring, he hopes to get into health-system administration, where he can help shape cancer treatment toward a more integrated approach, combining traditional medicine with everything from psychological counseling to massage, physical therapy and acupuncture.
Treska's father, also named Clay, has never had any doubts his son would succeed at anything, including tackling an Ironman while declared terminal.
"That's him," says the senior Treska. "That is a typical M.O. for him that he wants to battle the odds and do whatever he could."
At 6-foot-2 with the frame of a bodybuilder, the younger Treska's physical strength has always been imposing. His father recalls the time his son represented the Marine Corps in a Marines-vs.-Navy arm-wrestling contest — and won both the right- and left-handed championship in his division.
But it's his son's inner strength that's more special, he says.
"I've met many people through the last few years that have cancer or some other illness, that have been pushed along because of his story," he says. Now the senior Treska, 69, is fighting his own battle against leukemia, and he says he doesn't have the force of will his son has.
"God only makes a few people like him, and an awful lot of people like me," he says.
Yet his son, who's feeling good these days, waves off talk that he's special. He fought through depression, loneliness and thoughts of suicide; only good fortune and terrific people pulled him through, he says. Now he wants to return the favor by working within the health system to make holistic, integrative care the standard.
When that's achieved, the Ironman will have truly crossed his finish line.

After 4,000 miles and change the stock seat seemed to be getting harder rather than a bit broken in. So after not riding for 3 days, I took off for a bit this morning to test out an item that UPS delivered yesterday...
The storms that swept through last night provoded a somewhat decent early morning with soft muted colors ...
As this was basically a test ride for the seat and i wanted to knock out some miles quicklyI made one stop only and it wasn;t to relieve my butt, I just dug the view
And apparently so did this guy..........
It looks like crazy weather tomorrow and Saturday with severe thunderstorms during the evening and afternoon both days and while it sucks for riding it usually means gorgeous views pre dawn and sunrise so it looks like 1 or 2 magic light sojourns coming up. Sunday looks like a beauty all day and i,m already mapping a route out
Thanks again to all who have stopped by and commented
Oh and I almost forgot - 125 miles on it and I.m loving the seat, Sunday I'll shoot for 250 and see how that feels
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. - Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Middle-Weight Sport-Tourer
It's cold as hell (about 5F as I type this), so that makes it the perfect time to start thinking about a spring (or midwinter) bike purchase. If you're as bored as I am, read along, and offer some suggestions/advice/experience.
Need: Bike for 1-up trips ranging from a weekend to a week. Nothing more adventurous than gravel roads. Interstate mostly avoided (but 100% avoidance is nearly impossible). I'm 5'11" with pretty long arms.
Experience: Previous bike for this purpose was an ST1300 w/ bar risers (too heavy, too boat-like, upright seating made uncomfortable). Current bike for this purpose is a Street Triple R (too little wind protection, too twitchy, kinda short range). I can stand (some) more forward lean, but no more leg bend than the Street Triple.
Considering the following (with perceived pros and cons; note I've never ridden any of them):
+comfort for the long-armed
+factory storage
+electronic toys
+good suspension
+shaft drive (? I'm not sure if I really care enough to call this a plus)
-way more power than I'll ever need/use (I'll never see the top half of the speedo)
-pretty heavy
Honda VFR800
+Honda reliable (other than electrics...)
+ <500lbs wet Note: This is False
+V4 motor
+pretty good deal used
-average / poor suspension
-can it power heated liners?
Triumph Sprint ST
+awesome motor
+factory bags available (?)
-cramped riding position
[600cc Sport Bike] with bags (e.g. R6, CBR, GSXR, maybe even SV650 and FZ1)
-too aggressive riding position
-Japanese bikes tend not to fit me without ergonomic modification
-looks awkward with hard luggage
[Touring Land Barge] (e.g. FJR, Concours, R1200RT, etc)
+factory luggage
+good wind protection
-heavy and pig-like
-too upright seating position
So, what am I not thinking of? Or, do you have one of the bikes above, and am I wrong about it?
BMW 800GT seems to be about the only middle weight sport tourer not yet mentioned...
Haven't ridden one... don't think I'd want to pay for one...
Of course, there's always a Wee...
vfr1200 and ktm 990 smt
Riding position is quite neutral, slight forward lean into the breeze.
Speaking from what I've ridden and having a similar build (assuming you have a 32" inseam; yes?) me thinks the V or Wee strom would fit the bill nicely for you.
Of all the you mentioned the VFR is probably the nicest (the motor extremely sweeet) but it's a bit cramped for long jaunts unless you lower the pegs, raise the bars and put a touring saddle on. Too, I could never get the wind noise quiet.
The Stroms are plenty roomy. My Wee sips low amounts of fuel and is as comfy as any sport-tourer out there. It rails throught the corners with the uprated rear shock, continuous rate front springs in 15wt oil and a fork brace. Sargent saddle........and assorted other acoutraments to make this a very very competitive tourer. Mine rivals my GS.
Ninja 1000 is my pick!
Honda NC700X
Doesn't anyone read past page one any more before posting?
Not sure where you got the sub 500 pound wet weight for the VFR800. Pulling wet weights from Total Motorcycle shows the VFR800 at 551 wet, the K1300S at 560 wet and the Sprint ST at 530 wet.
I've have a K1300S and rode a 99 VFR800 for five years. The VFR was a great bike but the K13S doesn't feel any heavier and has gobs more power and a much better suspension. BMW weird, I know, but it works very well on the road. A chain wouldn't keep me from buying a bike I want but I do not miss chain maintenance. Riding position between the VFR800 and the K1300S are almost identical. I thought it was interesting that I found the VFR1200 to be a little tighter, more like the Sprint ST.
I spent a year with an FJR1300 too. Nice bike, very capable, easy to work on and dead reliable. Too much bike for me though as I never got it out unless I was going out for the full day. Just seemed too big/heavy for a local ride.
You might consider the Ninja 1000 too.
Ducati ST3, ST4, or ST2, or MultiStrada (older 2V or newer 4V).
Aprilia Futura.
Moto Guzzi Norge.
Kawasaki Ninja 1000 or Versys 1000
Suzuki SV1000 or V-Strom 1000
Honda VFR 1200
Yamaha FZ-1
Buell Ulysses
Lots of adventure-type bikes.
2001-2005 fz1.
FZ6 is plenty capable too. Farily roomy ergors, I'm 6'1 32" inseam.
The OP seems to have had a DL650 already from his signature.
I would recommend the FZ6 for what you're looking for. fuel injected, centerstand, 26,000 mile valve checks. It's got the total package.

Carlsbad biotech center opening nears
But evolution is conservative; once it has found a way of doing something, it tends to keep it, even in remote descendents. For example, there's evidence that genes involved in constructing the eyes of Drosophila also takes part in human eye formation.
What this means is that human diseases with a genetic component may have homologous equivalents in other organisms. (Of course, extrapolation be taken too far; it's difficult to imagine detecting symptoms of Alzheimer's in yeast.)
Pearlstein moved to the Bay Area a few weeks ago, and is now looking for a place to base his research.
"The big questions are how to fund and staff this rare disease drug discovery enterprise, and of course where to house it all," Perlstein wrote on his blog. "I am, after all, an experimentalist. And being a recent transplant, I also happen to be looking for a place to live, so I'll focus on the search for lab space here, and save funding and staffing for future posts."

EDIT: With 15 beta testers, we now have enough participants to try this new firmware. For all the others, please wait a few days until the beta ends and we can finally publicly release the custom firmware.
We are almost done with our custom firmware offering Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Android Market (2.2.7 or 3.0.26) to the Arnova 8 Tablet. So far our tests give positive results, but considering the problems that have been reported on the Arnova 10 custom firmwares, we would like to run few extra tests before publicly releasing the firmware.
By tomorrow 2011/09/15 and for a few days, we would like to open the tests to a small group of the Archos/Arnova users community. If you own an Arnova 8 and want to participate, please leave a comment in this article, we will contact you by email to give you access to the firmware. The firmware will be released the following days, when there is enough feedback confirming proper work.
As usual, there are always risks with flashing a non official firmware and we recommend that you contact us only if you are able to restore a broken firmware with Rockchip tools in case things go wrong.
This firmware is specific to the Arnova 8 and should not be installed on other devices.
Edit 10/17/2011: Please note that the final release for this firmware is currently delayed. We currently have a lot of work with custom firmwares for other Archos and Arnova machines as well. If anyone want to jump in and help on custom firmwares, don't hesitate to give us a hand.
I'm also interested for testing this firmware
hi could you please let me try this firmware if still available many thanks mark
Is Skype working with this ?
Hi, Is this firmware available still for testing as I've noticed the protected page for this firmware and very interested in trying this firmware?
This firmware hasn't been updated since a long time, it's still unfinished work. I've sent you the password thru Private message on our forum.
can i get this rom for testing? PLZ
Hi, hope someone is still reading this… noob in need! Is there any way to update the superuser binaries? I can't mount / as r/w and overwrite the files using root explorer etc so I'm guessing the update has to be part of a flashed rom image? any help gratefully received…
Hi can someone please help me, I brought a arnova 8 and was wondering if there is anyway of playing flash or do i have to wait for the froyo update for the tablet?
The Arnova 8 does not support Adobe Flash and probably will never support it, due to its limited ressources (mainly CPU).
The manufacturer hasn't released an update since months, there is very little chance to see an official Android 2.2 Froyo on this device.
There seems to be an unsupported gingerbread firmware which should/will work on this tablet at http://androtab.info/cyanogenmod/rockchip/
Please do not blame me if this destroys your tablet.
Hi i am new is there something new about firmware?
Dear Admin,
Please could you provide us with an update for this project, as it's been a little while since we heard from you.
All the best
Hello Webalistic,
It's currently hard to find time to work back on older Arnova firmwares. Current progress on G2 models may help finding new leads on improving Arnova first gen firmwares, we'll see.
hi, i would like to try this rom to, if my i ask
I also need the room and help test it.
I'm also interested for testing this firmware
I also need the room and help test it.
yes please i want to test it too !
I would test this rom please
can i get this rom for testing?
Can I get the ROM for testing?
Hello admin,
Please would you be so kind to tell us if the new update will still become available? And if so, would that be on a short term, or will it take much more time? If it won't become available, is there any way to get rid of the annoying Market problem (not able to download any app). I will not pressure you, but I would really like to know where we stand
We can hardly set a date, but it's quite looking like a medium term project that will require weeks. We do it all on our free time and currently have new devices to take care (Arnova 7 G2, Arnova 7c G2, Arnova 10 G2).
In the meantime if we hear about a more stable solution from other developers, we will be happy to publish it on the Blog.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, I appreciate that!
God, give me him out sooner or beta. ;.)
Any updates on the firmware?
admin por favor sacarlo pronto que mi tablet es una mierda
Admin, Please Beta, Beta, Beta….I want to know the potential of my ARNOVA 8, and almost throw it away
Admin, I can't help with the coding but I could donate some hosting if that helps at all. Please contact me offlist.
Thanks for your help, but we already have a dedicated server booked for few months and currently quite painfull to move and reinstall… We'll see in 2012 😉
Even i you just need somewhere to link a download to, just let me know. It would be nice to give something back.
107 post's come on admin put the software out
you're right. admin should put out the beta. i haven't got a problem with waiting for final version but getting the beta would be awesome.
enough already, release the beta
I hate to say it boys….but I think we're SOL on the 8 platform. May have to call it garage sale fodder and move to something that will get more bandwidth on the hacking scene. I'd be happy enough on the Kasty 2.1 firmware…if the GD market would only work! Hope is fading fast…..
Hope has faded.. Google market has closed to unapproved devices, this is why the firmware is 'delayed'
I'm pretty interested in this project. My aim would be to use a usb ethernet adapator (DM9600) on my arnova 8. Maybe we can tweak drivers from new g9 firmware for this.
I have some linux knowledge and want to help.
Hello everybody!!!
May be today we can get Android 2.2?!!!
I hope!
Дайте ссылку на ссылку ссылки!
Dear testers can you put link on 2.2 firmware, and administrators have forgot about us.
Hi every body!!! Realy, we are waiting update 2.2 to long, kindly ask ADMIN to get link to Froyo 2.2.
Thanks a lot!!!
Come on admin put this software out. Been running this software since my last post and i think its good to go. Even the start up problem seems to have sorted its self out. Put it no charge the other night when i got up it start ok with no reset and today i had it in standby and its just booted up great. I love the new market, kindle works a treat. Yes there is something like the doublebar in video that to be looked at and the clock but so what i think you have done a great job. Release it.
Any chance you could send 2.2 to me?
I would like to get my google market to work.
When ? Froyo update will be available …………. one month …………..
This machine is great so put the link on ! We can't wait anymore because adobe flash is necessary for a tablet !
Well I'm as eager as the rest of you. The 2.1 update worked well for me so the 2.2 update should be great, but let's give the guys a break… I'm sure they are working hard to bring us a stable working version of 2.2 and who knows it could be available soon for us all to enjoy.
There will be no flash support for this device, the hardware inside the arnova 8 doesn't have enough performance to run flash. If you absolutely need flash I would recommend you to buy a different tablet.
Некогда она не выйдет .Зашились совсем!
Сколько можно ждать, хватит мозг пудрить, будет прошива или нет??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Мужики, у меня проша эта есть. но она глючная шо писец. два раза из планшета кирпич делала, пришлось откатиться на 2.1. Советую подождать пока откатают. Из нового в ней почти ничего нет, одни глюки.
Скинь прошивку, очень надо… глюки по барабану.
Mail: email@example.com
admin cuando lo vais a sacar que hace ya 1 mes ya va siendo hora.
please give update on FROYO.
link for?
Any news from the BETA tester?
I'll not able to look you tube now… FROYO will allow this?
TGI friday!
I just bought last week the arnova 8 tablet with 2.1 eclair inside. I found it great for the price. And i'd like to try the froyo beta firmware.
Thanks for your help.
some new about this ROM? many funs wating on this ROM 😀
Whats the news with this? Ive not heard anything in over a month about the firmware. Is it going to be released or is there still to many bugs?
Could you release any information you have on it as my arnova 8 is collecting dust and I would like to put it to use.
Hi Admin,
Just been away for a couple of weeks and this board seems to have gone out of control.
Is it possible to put a sticky post at the top of the blog giving the latest about the froyo update, maybe with a download link for the Beta?
It might stop the meetoos and people posting their email addresses.
Thank you.
Hello, is there still time for me to join the experiment?
Thank you
im interested in android 2.2 for my arnova 8!
Very interested to test Android 2.2
Je suis preneur pour tester Android 2.2
je suis un fan de l'anorva 8
aussi j'aimerais participer au custom fmirware froyo 2.2
please give me this custom for the test
thank you..
i want to try this firmware please, thanks much
Hi, I would like to test the firmware.
contact me on my email:
tanks fo the firm were
I would like to test the firmware. My tablet has to be reset every time it goes into sleep modem.
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
yes, this is a common fault with the arnova 8 – it will die in it's sleep and need to be RESET to wake it up.. maybe a froyo firmware will fix this, maybe not.. but at this time (october 9th) there is no sign of any help for this device – the rooted/market firmware is entirely useless, with market looping errors, and archos themselves have moved on.
J'ai toujours l'ancien firmware custom pour mon arnova 8.
Ca marche toujours.
Mais je passerais bien au 2.2 ^^
Alors… What's new Doc ?
I would like to parcipitate in the beta testing…
contact me on my email:
Hi there, would like the chance to help you guys out and test this for you.
Thanks in advance.
I'm also interested to test new firmware on my Arnova!
ola esta ya el nuevo firmware? cuando lo puedo descargar? gracias
can't wait anymore …can i test the new firmware ?
can't wait anymore …can i test the new firmware ?
can i test the software please
can i test the software ?
me too
I installed the firmware 2.2 with RKAndroidBatchUpgrade like someone had mentioned earlier on the 2.2 protected page and what a differance. First i noticed the file structure has changed when viewed with my computer. The books I manualy load in to my kindle folder now show in the kindle app . Auto rotate works. The Market has updated it self to 3.1.5 and works great .
I now I feel my frist reaction was a bit rushed and this firmware should be made downloadable to others if they want it.
Thankyou for the great work
can i test the software please
Sounds hopeful!
Can we test it too?
can i test it
How about root access?
I do hope this firmware works. I like the tablet but would like access to the android app store.
Can I also test the firmware?
Hola. Estoy intersado en testear el nuevo firmware froyo para la tableta arnova 8, soy desarrollador y me ayudarían mucho si me lo dieran.
Muchas Gracias.
Can I test this firmware? Thanx.
i m buy this tablette on 05092011, and i m intested by android froyo.
I would like rick take part. Rick not rick there a fix for the Android market ??
Not rick just take part
I'm interested! just have the arnova 8 for a few days so I wouldn't mind testing the new firmware!
i wold to test this firmware
Please read all the messages below! Like i said before, the firmware isn't ready…. for example there were calibration errors, wifi errors, sd card errors double menu bars etc and perhaps most important there were people who had to recover their tablet from scratch because the firmware actually could brick the device.
I hope you all get the point, why it hasn't been released jet and that will spare this forum a long list of unsatisfied people with angry faces because their device isn't working proparly or was bricked during the process.
can't wait anymore …
I think you have too wait longer, as one of the beta testers we all concluded that the firmware wasn't ready to go on a public release or public beta.
When the release will be,, that will depend on the available time of the people who create it. We just have to wait for an official announcement from the admin.
As Kevin and other beta testers reported, there are currently issues on the firmware that prevent us from releasing it.
We'll make our best to fix these problems, as time permits.
Any news on the custom firmware for Arnova 8 will be announced on the Blog.
Please be patient, thank you.
ok. thank you. you're right no firmware is better than a bad firmware. 2.1 works very stable. the only thing i would swap for is the market …
i also would like to test the new firmware. thanks a lot.
I want to test Please shoot me an email.
Love xxx
Hi Admin,
Any idea of a target release date yet?
Has anyone else tried flash? It should be supported under 2.2 or is there really a hardware barrier that prevents Flash from working?
I shall quete, from the topic where the android 2.2 version is being tested, because I asked the very same question.
Something went wrong, but here it is:
"Kevin, it's very unlikely. There is currently no support on Adobe Flash for the devices based on Rockchip 28xx processors. There is an "hacked" apk file that let Flash install and run, it's better than nothing, but it's completely unofficial and gives quite poor performance.
The main reason for that is the Rockchip 2818 on most the Arnova tablets (including Arnova is not powerful enough to play smoothly Flash content.
The new Arnova G2 with the Rockchip 2918 works perfect with Flash.
There isn't much hope for Flash on RK2818 CPU based tablets.
The hardware is really too slow for a good Flash experience, that's probably why Adobe doesn't support it on this platform.
I understand the issue now. Thanks to all that responded.
Yes !!
I want to try this firmware, please please please
A frenchie
I have tested other firmware including the cyanogen release that needed some additional care and attention before it would function on the Arnova 8.
I would like to help with this beta – please contact me asap as I will be flying out of the country soon and will be able to test this firmware on my travels.
Please can I take part in the testing?
I've been waiting this release for weeks it will be amazing to have an actual working Arnova 8.
If you have a little place for me, i really enjoy to test your firmware.
By the way, Many thanks for your job
After 3 days of testing the new CFW i have to say it's a really good job.
I liked the Android logo at booting.
I liked the transparent top bar.
The new features at clock.
But the most important part is that the market works fine.
I didn't like that when playing videos if you touch the screen to show the option the top bar displays twice.
I liked very much the improvement that Froyo has in Greek Language.
I didn't like that when you suspend your device and switched it on again the SD card has been unmounted and you have to take it off and on again.
Thank you for giving me the option to try it and i can say that many problems solved and it's a good update for my Arnova 8 tablet.
Prompt please when approximately to expect, the testing termination, and release of high-grade updating
oui je veux bien tester ce nouveau firmware avec mon arnova 8
Would love to test this…
Are you still looking for testers? If not how long do you estimate to the code release?
yes yes i want test this firware for my arnova 8 !!!
Hey guys, thanks for the hard work. I'd love to give this new firmware a spin, please count me in !
Paul, Mel and others, the testing is currently closed.
Many bugs have been reported, some are quite embarrassing.
We'll see if some can be fixed easily or if we release the firmware as is.
Thank you for your patience.
Great job guys. I would love this update as well. Please count me in.
Just flashed to the beta version a couple of times (just part of testing – make sure I can go back to previous version). On the whole looking good – doesn't appear to be any nasty regressions.
Some observations from my quick initial tests:
* keyboard calibration is a little off. Initially thought it was my sausage-like fingers but even using a stylus to calibrate gives occasional mis-readings of keys when keyboard in use (it appears to select the key above e.g. "l" rather than DEL).
* On-screen calibration did hang on a couple of times – not sure why as I was unable to reproduce on-demand but it just seem to stop responding by the second cross.
* "ARNOVA 7″ is the title in the notification area.
* Market place appears to work (with one exception) this time around retains settings (the eclair edition kept "forgetting"). Successfully installed a couple of apps from the market.
* Only problem with Market that I've found is with Adobe flash player – which I cannot install. If I install version 2.2.7 of market the adobe download page just tells me the device is unsupported. Removing 2.2.7 and installing 3.0.26 makes no difference. If I install 3.0.26 from a virgin reflash (of froyo) the adobe site does then take me to the "Flash player 10.3″ application page but there is no "Install" button (as I say other apps work/download/install nicely).
* Trying to manually install an APK for flash 10.3 that I downloaded does not work either – it says it is installing, goes through the motions and then simply says "Application not installed".
I'll keep testing things and see if I'm being stupid when it comes to Flash. I will post back when I have more. Many thanks for the good work.
NooBie ALERT!!!!!
I would lie to try this firmware ASAP.
I would like to help testing the new firmware!
Please consider met too, in this test. Given the limited choice in the Apps Lib, my Arnova is starting to gather dust … bring on Froyo
I'm also interested for testing this firmware
I've flashed my Arnova 8 tablet since 4 hours.
It works well and no big problem noticed. Wifi ok. Reactivity similar to 2.1 custom firmware.
I've installed Android Market 2.2.7 through ArcTools (it has been then updated to 3.0.26, I think) and I've used it to install 10 apps without any problem.
But I had some problems with calibration and then with virtual keyboard, especially with "TAB" and " ?123″ keys.
Screen timeout was also set to nothing…
Like TomVS, I've noticed a double bar when playing video and calling menu.
There's also a "(ARNOVA 7)" label in notification center.
That's all!
So, great job done on this custom firmware! Thank you!
Just flashed my arnova 8. Went straight to videoplayer. Some remarks here…
user the same h.264 encoder videos as before.
Video starts black, only sound…
Changing aspect ratio brings up video. But only aspect ratio is available…. changing does not work
The bar on top does not disappear… calling menu give double bar!
Video framerate is choppy, not fluent. This was also the case in previous firmware but only after fast forward
Typing this message feels more sluggish than before
This is exciting will try the market now
Ps video was encoded in handbrake normal profile
Typing from computer now. Sorry for the typo's.
Just installed market. No problem.
Downloaded adobe pdf reader… Seems to work now. You can select pdfs on your device ! Never worked before in 2.1
Installed KINDLE works now. Home bar goes away in this firmware so the first lines of text are readeable…
This looks promising !
let me know if you need more people…
I would like to help testing the new firmware!
I am the owner of such a device. And I am willing to participate in testing.
I'm also interested for testing this firmware
With 15 beta testers, we now have enough participants to try this new firmware. For all the others, please wait a few days until the beta ends and we can finally publicly release the custom firmware.
To all the 15 beta testers: you will receive today the download link by email.
I have an arnova 8 and would be very happy to help beta-test your new froyo update.
would like to be a beta tester for this custom firmware.
I own a Arnova8 tablet and waited for the first time i used this tablet for such an update. AppsLib is no bad but it has none of the Greek Apps while Android Market is Full of Greek Apps.
I would like to be a beta tester for this custom firmware.
I've bought an Arnova 8 but I'm not satisfied at all with the official firmware. Each time I want to connect to a website, I have to restart the tablet. Very frustrating !
So I hope that your custom firmware will make the difference ! 😉
Thanks, cheers !
staki, switzerland
Also interested in the testdrive…
I'm also interested for testing this firmware
Does this firmaware also works for the Arnova 84 ?
I won't work, but we should prepare a release specific to the Arnova 84 in the near future, when the Arnova 8 firmware is stable.
I would like to participate in the testing
I will have a go. Have you got a video of it working you can post
I'm interested! I tried the other custom firmware's but i wasn't very satisfied there were a couple of bugs this looks promising!
I'm very interested, just have the arnova 8 for a few days so I wouldn't mind testing the new firmware!
bonjour je suis intéressé pour tester merci
I аm ready! If the firmware doesn't kill my device.
I would be interested. I am going on holiday on the 19th of this month, and will take my Arnova 8 with me to test, and report my findings when I get back on the 23rd, if this is ok?

Train service reliability improved in 2013; more train trips to be added: LTA
Published on Jan 9, 2014 12:33 PM
The number of train delays last year has gone down compared to 2012, based on latest figures from the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Across the MRT network, the number of incidents causing delays of more than five minutes for every 100,000km travelled went down by 20 per cent, from 1.49 in 2012 to 1.18 last year.
The LTA attributed the improved reliability to the implementation of several targeted measures by joint teams it formed with rail operators SMRT and SBS Transit. The number of rail disruptions had spiked in 2011, with several high-profile breakdowns.
For instance, since the middle of last year SMRT has adopted new technologies, such as an automated detection system on the North-South and East-West lines to pick out flaws on current collector shoes, which draw power from the third rail so the trains can run. It will also complete a project to replace all power cables on the Circle Line by the end of this month.
On the North-East Line, SBS Transit and the LTA have found an alternative material for components of its overhead power system, and started replacement works. Faulty components such as U-bolts had previously led to several major disruptions on the line. Separately, the LTA said commuters can expect shorter waiting times this year especially during off-peak periods, as the operators have bumped up the number of weekly train trips to improve service.
