How to Make an Intercom Using Telephone Cable
An intercom that can be made in 10 steps and with few materials.
1First take the telephone cable and somewhere along the line strip the covering down to the 2 small cables (most likely red and green).Ad
2The green-white with a blue stripe should never be altered in any way.
3In that location, cut the red(or blue w/white stripe) wire in half.
4For the next steps you might want to have 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of wire spare around or cut it from red of the telephone cable.
5Strip the red wire on both sides where you just cut.Ad
1Attach one side of the red wire to one terminal of the power supply (Polarity does not matter).
2Take the 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of wire and connect the other power supply terminal to one end of the resistor.
3Attach the other side of the cut red wire to the other end of the resistor.
4Plug any form of telephone into each plug at each end of the telephone cable.
5Assuming everything is done correctly, one person on each end should be able to listen to the other clearly.Ad

Another great selection of tunes for Beth to belt out in her unmistakable style. It can only be a matter of time before Beth's career goes into the stratosphere she has to be one if not the best female singers out there.
It really makes me sick when you see the crap that we get fed on from the endless talent shows out there, (Did I say talent), yet artists like Beth get overlooked. I recommend you catch her live if you get a chance you wont be disappointed, believe me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy Number 2,
J. M. Green "john94682" (Sutton Coldfield) - See all my reviews
I thought that the original collaboration between Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa in 2011 was a class act and that it would be a hard one to better - BUT, my goodness me, these two are absolutely steaming on this album and whereas "DON'T EXPLAIN" had Joe pretty much down in the mix, leaving the rest of the musicians to shine, on "SEESAW" he comes very much to the fore with some compelling solos!
Certainly, this new album is much more in the line of the Big Band sound of Blues/Jazz/Swing a la Jools Holland but there are some real crackers here that make you sit up and listen including "Nutbush City Limits" sung with fire and passion as only (or so I thought) Tina Turner could manage with Beth truly belting out those lyrics!
Other highlights include "Close To My Fire" and "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" with Joe's steamy, sinewy solo as a real treat for blues guitar fans, but really, there is nothing but excellent musicianship, songcraft and passion sitting in the 11 tracks presented here - and if you're quick about it, you can pick up the special edition with bonus DVD including 3 music videos and interviews with both Beth and Joe and the rest of the people involved with the making of this album and "consumate" and "professional" are the two abiding words to sum this package up.
If you love the blues in all of it's forms then you'll love this album but even if you don't actually love this genre, the magic that comes across in the interchange between these two stars you will still find most infectious and entertaining!
A must for any serious music collector!

4.0 out of 5 stars The reason a Seesaw was made for two people...,
This review is from: Seesaw [VINYL] (Vinyl)
...is that when you go down, there will always be someone to lift you up again.
Seesaw dips further into the world of traditional vocal jazz with slower tempos and more restrained string arrangements than Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa's previous collaboration Don't Explain, which had more country and soul influences. Ms Hart's performance is smoother too. Anyone expecting the raw rasping vocals that are the trademark of her blues output might be disappointed. I emphasise might. Her performance suits the material, and the difference between a good singer with an interesting voice and a great singer is that they can choose exactly how much of a technique they want to use in a given performance. Her love for the material shines on this record with songs like Them There Eyes and Seesaw sounding sweet and bright, while Close To My Fire and If I Tell You I Love You have a rich, smooth late-night-in-a-smokey-jazz-club quality to them. And if you listen to the way she uses a sharp sustained notes in the final verses of Strange Fruit to reenforce the brooding sadness of the song, you will discover what a clean, powerful singer she can be.
Joe Bonamassa too is showing what a craftsman he is. He long ago dispensed with need to wow people with guitar histrionics and instead delivers tight guitar breaks and interesting rhythm and accompanying parts that bolster the vocal performance. It's fascinating to see him experimenting with funk and acoustic blues on his last few records and now traditional Jazz on this. (I have reached the point where I buy his new releases on spec, and I've yet to be disappointed.) That's not to say that there aren't good solos on this album though. The one on I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know is impassioned blues at it's best, as is the more restrained one emerges from the guitar atmospherics at the close of Strange Fruit. But on this record you are more likely to notice the snap of his opening riffs on Nutbush City Limit, and his rhythm work on Can't Let Go, where slide guitar drives the song throughout. The adjectives usually applied to slide guitar like `blistering,' or `howling' don't fit here. It's a warm, rich, vocal sound, that is as smooth as velvet.
I guess that sums up the album. Its warm, smooth and comfortable to listen to, with surprising depth when you start digging into it. If you enjoyed Warren Haynes' Man In Motion album, you will like this. If you long for a gritty blues work out like Sloe Gin or Leave the Light On, you might wonder where the fire went. Well it's banked up, low but alive under the cinders, suffusing the album with a warm glow.
With Seesaw, I went for the vinyl version, and the artwork in the style of older Jazz album covers is pretty good. A nicely illustrated inner sleeve has notes from Beth Hart about some of the songs. The 180g pressing is clean and very quiet (important on tracks like Strange Fruit), but it seems a little tight round the centre post of my turntable. Like other Provogue records it's priced so you can buy this with a download from your supplier of choice, which on balance might be better than asking for more and including a download code inside. There are so many choices of how to get your music now it's hard to find a package that suits every listener. I still prefer a download paired with vinyl, but a spotify subscription probably fills that need for a lot of people.
If you are fan of either artist, this album is worth a look, as it's suitably different from their solo output. But if you are interested in superb vocal jazz and blues, thats when it becomes an essential purchase.

David P (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seesaw (MP3 Download)
Joe on guitar, Beth singing - what could go wrong? Answer: nothing. This is a superb follow up to their first collaboration. I agree with another reviewer, Beth's version of Nutbush is really exciting, every bit as good as the original. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOLY CANNOLI MY SPEAKERS ARE ON FIRE!,
Jeanie (United States) - See all my reviews
Beth and Joe have done it again. This effervescent follow up album to the exquisite Don't Explain is again stellar, yet more upbeat, high energy, soulful and rockin. No sophomore slump here. Beth & Joe have hit their stride and perhaps are even more in tune with working together on the second go around.
A classy choice of songs have been selected, previously recorded by Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Donnie Hathaway, Lucinda Williams, Buddy Miles, Tina Turner, Slackwax, Melody Gardot, and Nina Simone. From big band sounds, to sultry ballads, to balls out growl and howl, to French inspired with Arlan Schierbaum on accordion. Somehow the diversity of the songs are tied together to make a cohesive whole. Anton Fig gives a powerhouse performance on drums with the rest of the excellent band Blondie Chaplin and Carmine Rojas rounding everything out.
Vintage songs and in a sense vintage recording as well. Producer Kevin Shirley's method of recording live in the studio with the entire band playing together is the antithesis of so much of today's manipulated and computerized music. This band is interacting with each other and having FUN - and you can hear it in the music! Later in the process the horns by Lee Thornburg and Ron Dziubla are added as well as the strings by Jeff Bova which just takes everything to yet another level.
Beth Hart not only has an effing astounding voice, but the ability to truly connect with the material and make it her own, then communicate the emotion behind it. Joe Bonamassa augments the songs and compliments Beth's vocals perfectly with tasteful guitar work that is restrained in places and in some places he really lets loose. He shines on the solo at the end of I Love You More than You'll Ever Know with bluesy, soulful work.
Stunning record. Brilliantly done. Guaranteed to brighten your day. One of the best albums of the year. A big sassy bitch of an album!

4.0 out of 5 stars If it ain't broke, don't fix it ****1/2,
Leonardo27 (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Difficult second album? Not a bit of it.
Carrying on where the sublime "Don't Explain" left off a couple of years ago, Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa serve up more of the same albeit that it's a litle more punchy than its predecessor.
Kicking off with the frothy "Them There Eyes", made famous by Billie Holiday in the thirties, the pair once again run the gamut of musical styles taking in jazz, blues and soul along the way.
I can think of few vocalists brave or perhaps foolhardy enough to take on Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits", and even fewer capable of nailing it quite as comprehensively as Hart does here.
Elsewhere, a cover of Al Green's "Rhymes" is an undoubted highlight whilst "A Sunday Kind of Love" is at once faithful to the Etta James original but also infuses it with a whole new freshness. Another Melody Gardot song, this time "If I Tell You I Love You", adds a more contemporary edge.
The fifth star is missing only because there's nothing that tingles the spine quite like "I'll Take Care Of You" and "I'd Rather Go Blind" off the first album but this is still a triumphant follow-up with hopefully more to come.

was introduced to Beth Hart by a good friend of mine over some late night beers. Fell in love with the music ,think Jo Bonamassa is almost as good as Jimmy Page and much better than Clapton

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich is not on the injury report this week for the first time since he injured his ribs in the 13-10 loss the Baltimore Ravens back in Week 11. Although he has apparently returned to full health he has not returned to his spot on the quarterback depth chart as Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports via Twitter that Charlie Batch will be the No. 2 quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday behind starter Ben Roethlisberger. https://twitter.com/gerrydulac/status/279318967535927297 While Roethlisberger remained sidelined with his rib and Read more [...]

Girl I feel your pain.....I've been ttc #2 for 14 cycles now. After a year of hard core trying I decided NTNP, finally got a bfp but turned into a CP. Go figure right......So completely frustrating.

Gosh, you all are really making me wonder if DH and I should be waiting to TTC #2. DS was on first cycle! And we haven't "actively" tried yet because 'what if it happens on the first cycle again?' After reading your posts, I think we may need to take our "tryint" to another level!
good luck
I'm in the same boat. Today is the start of Cycle 12 TTC #2!!! Only took us 3 cycles off BCP to conceive DS with a chemical in the second month. I've been to the fertility doctor for all sorts of tests and both hubby and I check out great. I'm going to be starting some sort of treatments either this cycle or next (this process has taken much longer than I thought it would also!).
Good luck to all of you who are struggling with #2!
Allie (32) DH (29) ~ 9/15/07
Calli...NTNP is not trying not preventing.
Allie I also went to my midwife in Jan and she said I'm good. Plus if I had a CP last cycle then I know i can conceive. Just a matter of making it stick. What i don't understand is they say not to stress it but how do you not stress it after trying for so long?
"Some people think it's holding on that makes one strong- sometimes it's letting go."
Impossible not to stress it! I can not stand when friends, family, doctors say that! I know they think they are giving good advice but they have no idea what it feels like to feel so helpless over your own body!

Proud Mommy to our ECMO/PPHN miracle, K, born 6/2010 and TWINS W and L (IUGR), born at 32 weeks 1/17/14.
I too am getting down about ttc #2, DD took literally 2 cycles... Now I know its not been near as long as some of you, but its been 8 cycles now with nothing... at all. We have not been tested yet. I was waiting till we tried for a year. But... its soo irritating. Were both young, Ive conceived no problem once and he never has, and there are no issues within our families with conceiving... And yes it is very hard to not stress when you know it shouldnt be this hard!! And I too dont like when people say not to stress... Im actually going to try and do a little yoga here and there to help with stress... but Im annoyed. Cause there are alot of girls getting pregnant and they dont have to "try" and like one in particular has 2 kids and does not have custody of them, her ex husband does, and she has no pics of them on her facebook, but has ton of herself partying and such and now she is pregnant and doesnt know who the dad is.!!!

Contrary to what is written below, this is not a compiler feature or CPU instruction.
What NVidia wants is control which VM pages can be cached (as in CPU cache) in what way, where the VM pages in question are both pages that are device mapped from the graphics card and pages in annonymously mapped memory.
What I don't understand is why this blocks AMD64 and not i386, to my knowledge the i386 port doesn't have it either.
NVidia also seem to have had earlier Linux drivers without that kind of control.
I also generally fail to see what advantage cache control over annonymously mapped memory brings except a minor performance advantage, respectively saving some work for manual cache control in the driver code when using this memory. For the device mapped memory I can see that it might be required, but for other memory this seems to be microoptimization only. If my assumptions are correct we are blocked on this for a performance advantage in the single-percent area. While I applaud NVidia's desire to make the Unix drivers as fast as the Windows drivers, I personally don't care too much because I have graphics cards that are overkill for what I need. And if I hadn't I would be willing to spend the money for a bigger card than I need if I just get drivers (think of it as paying for the drivers).

Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo is a small hatchback designed specially for city driving and is perfect for the small families. The car resembles Suzuki MR Wagon in overall styling with slight differences in the technical specifications and engine type. Zen Estilo is equipped with Suzuki's revolutionary K series engine that also features in the Maruti Wagon R, A Star and other vehicles from Maruti's stable. From exteriors, one may find new Zen Estilo small; however it still manages to accommodate five adults comfortably. An effective mileage in city traffic, lower price bracket coupled with Maruti's unmatched service network and brand image, makes it a very popular car in the Indian market.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Launch History
For a long time Zen remained Maruti's premium segment hatchback in India. The company was forced to discontinue production of Zen in 2005 with arrival of a wide array of hatchbacks from different manufacturers. However, Maruti realised that it can still cash the brand image of Zen and launched Zen Estilo in December 2006, which had nothing but its name common with the predecessor. Again in August 2009 due to some reasons, Maruti Suzuki re-launched the vehicle, striking off 'Zen' out of the name and it is now known as Maruti Suzuki Estilo.
Later in August 2010, Maruti Suzuki launched the CNG variants of its cars, which included a variant of Zen Estilo. New Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo comes with AC, power steering (excluding the base variant Lx) and the upper variant even has ABS as part of advanced breaking system.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Variants
All the variants of new Maruti Zen Estilo 2011 are equipped with common standard accessories and engine. The chassis, instrumentation panel, AC vents and space remain constant; however, there are additional safety systems and comfort accessories included in the higher variants with minor cosmetic changes in exteriors. Details of the variants of new Zen Estilo are discussed below:
|Key Specifications
|Zen Estilo Lx

|Zen Estilo Lxi CNG
|Newly launched CNG variantiGPI technologySame specifications as Lxi
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Pricing
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo price varies ranges from Rs.3.3 lacs to Rs.4.7 lacs. The prices may vary with inclusion of optional accessories and taxes levied by the states.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Review
Initially there was a mixed response due to car's marketing as a Zen, which evidently was not a very successful gimmick. However, its second facelift as Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo has been very successful with a lot of automotive magazines and TV shows, describing it as a fierce competitor in the lower segment. It has been compared with Hyundai i10 and Chevrolet Spark, which belong to the same segment. New Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo is available just above Alto's price bracket and offers value for money.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Used Car Market
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo is comparatively a new entrant in the market and even its oldest models are generally in a better shape. Hence, if someone is planning to get a second hand Zen Estilo then it is a very bright option. Moreover, Maruti has a very large used car market in the country. According to company's reports by 2009, it had established 304 'True Value Dealerships' in 179 cities across the nation. These dealerships organise the used car market by correct evaluation of the engine and car's overall condition to offer best exchange prices. The Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo cars, like all Maruti cars, generally have a good resale value.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Specifications
New Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo 2011 is a powerful hatchback that performs well on city roads, highways and even in hilly terrains. The engine, chassis, suspension and transmission, all have gone through considerable improvements in the past years to make it one of the fastest selling vehicles in the Indian market.
Major drawback of previous versions marketed as 'Zen Estilo' was its clumsy gear and transmission, which used to cause a lot of trouble, especially in city traffic. New Zen Estilo 2011 is equipped with advanced systems that have improved the driving experience. The cable type transmission provided as a change to the existing synchromesh, improves gear shifting by reducing the loss in transmission of previous mechanical system.
A 'detent pin' gear shift and select mechanism also works in tandem to make gear shifting effortless by converting the sliding friction into rolling friction. Other specifications of Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo are mentioned below:
|Engine Type
|All Aluminium light weight K10B
|Swept Volume
|BS-IV compliant
|Maximum Power (Ps/ rpm)
|68/ 6200
|Maximum Torque (Nm/ rpm)

Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Exteriors
New Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo does appear a lot different from the other hatchbacks of this segment. The small car has trendy and proportionate exteriors that are designed to suit Indian sensibilities.
Exterior Appearance
New Zen Estilo cars have an aerodynamic design, which looks like a scaled down version of any premium segment MUV. It is not as bold as Swift and yet is not very dull. One can see that Maruti has done a lot of work in over all styling which includes body coloured bumpers, prominent wheel arches, distinctive large perforation radiator grille and unique head lights.
Similarly, the stylish wheel covers also add to the class of Zen Estilo. Rear designing is more contemporary and the smaller boot door gives an idea about the limited space. However, it is the profile of new Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo, which attracts most of the people. It is tall but not as much as Wagon R and at the same time is more curvaceous at ends.
Exterior Dimensions
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo is compact hatchback, which can easily accommodate five passengers. Other dimensions of this Zen Estilo car are mentioned in the table below:
|Measurements (in mm)
|1495 (Vxi)
|1475 (Lx, Lxi)
|Front Tread
|Rear Tread
|Minimum Ground Clearance
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Interiors
New Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo car is undoubtedly an improvement with better upholstery and best possible use of available space. Things are kept simple and does let one remain comfortable throughout the drive.
Interior Appearance
The new age interiors of Zen Estilo are miles ahead of the low grade plastic interiors of Maruti 800's and even its predecessor Zen. One can simply recline in the dual tone comfortable seats that have adjustable headrests. General convenience features like cup holders and instrument panel pocket add to the convenience of the passengers. Upholstery of Zen Estilo car has been improved a lot to compete with other hatchbacks in this segment.
Three-spoke steering wheel is beautifully crafted and resides near the illuminated instrument panel, which gives accurate information about car's fuel level with its digital display. The highest variant of New Zen Estilo 2011 carries a tachometer, which is a very useful device if someone wants to extract maximum from the car.
Interior Comfort
Like all modern hatchbacks, Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo carries all necessary accessories like electrically operated ORVM (outside rear view mirrors), power windows and steering, cup holders and even vanity mirrors. All these accessories allow driver to control most of the car's functionalities at the touch of a button.
Steering tilt adjustment and driver's seat height adjustment are two important features loaded in Zen Estilo cars. An ash tray has been provided but again on misses the cigarette lighter, which is not included as a standard accessory. Overall it might not disappoint the new users who are accustomed to Maruti 800 and Zen.
Interior Dimensions
The headroom of new Zen Estilo car in India seems to be just fine and the overall space might be a notch bigger than one expects from its exteriors. Nonetheless, Zen Estilo doesn't have extraordinary boot space and might cause a bit of discomfort for the rear seat passengers over a long journey due to very limited knee room. Needless to say, for city driving and office going purpose, Zen Estilo car remains best vehicle in the class.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Mileage, Average and Fuel Economy
As per company claims, BS-IV compliant Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo cars offer a healthy average of 19 kmpl in petrol variants. It doesn't vary a lot even with air conditioning, which is a remarkable accomplishment. However, the figure might change with driving conditions and style. The CNG variant of new Zen Estilo car is also available, which is an excellent option, as it reduces the running costs by as much as 60 percent. Maruti's new technology called iGPI ensures all safety and improvements in chassis of the cars (to bear additional weight of CNG system) to maintain performance levels.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo On Road Drive
One has to really drive a car to get the feel, which cannot be by mere facts and figures. On papers Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo might appear just another car with a K series engine; however it's a pleasant surprise as soon as one puts the feet on accelerator. The Zen Estilo car is lighter and leaner than most others and swifts past with extraordinary pace on highways. The cabin is adequately insulated from outside noise and one hears a very low mum of the engine even at high revs.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo comes with power steering and ABS in high end version, which proves more than effective on slippery turns. Its overall design is a fine example of Japanese engineering, which provides enough stability in all conditions. Suspension has been designed specially for Indian roads and the ground clearance is just fine to tackle most of the speed breakers that appear intermittently on city roads.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Power
Like other cars in Maruti's inventory new Zen Estilo cars 2011 are fitted with BS-IV compliant 998cc K series engine. Delivering 67 hp at 6200 rpm and a peak torque of 90 Nm at 3500 rpm, this engine might appear similar to others; however it has been tuned to offer maximum mileage. The engine has a light weight aluminium body, which provides best power to weight ratio.
Plastic engine manifold, advanced injectors, an intelligent distributor less ignition system with dedicated plug top coils and innovative rocker-less dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) are salient features of this powerful engine. The power of new Zen Estilo car proves to be more than sufficient on city roads and on highways one can achieve more than 100 kmph speeds easily with its five speed manual transmission.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Acceleration and Pick Up
Zen Estilo cars 2011 don't get too many references in talks pertaining to pick up of the car. Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo cars are decent performers in terms of acceleration and are perfect for city driving where one has to drive between the frequently occurring traffic lights. One can easily cross the 100 kmph mark before 17 seconds with this car, which if not better is comparable to the acceleration of other cars in same category. The performance of new Zen Estilo car is much better in the 40 to 100 kmph range.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Safety & Security
New Zen Estilo cars are equipped with advanced safety and security systems. These systems have gone through rigorous research and testing to insure they are unfailingly responsive at the right time. One of the most advanced safety features is Anti-Skid Braking System, which is used in the braking of cars and has been made available in Zen Estilo Vxi as an optional safety system. Apart from prevention of skidding at slippery turns this prevents wheel lock up during panic braking.
TESS (Total Effective Strength Structure) is another safety feature equipped in Zen Estilo cars in India. This structure refers to the chassis of the car, which has been fabricated on the basis of advanced safety studies conducted to ensure occupant safety. Another optional safety system offered in the Vxi is dual airbags. These supplemental restraint systems are very effective in reducing severe frontal injuries during head on collisions.
ICATs (Intelligent Computerised Anti-Theft System) make it impossible to start this Zen Estilo car with counterfeit keys or by hot wiring. The computerised systems requires a communication between the mini transponder incorporated in the car's keys that hold a unique code that is recognised by cars on board computers. In case of loss of keys a new key could be issued only by the authorized dealer which again has to be configured for the car. Security Alarm is perhaps the most common and evident security system of Zen Estilo cars, which is offered as a standard security system in new Zen Estilo Vxi.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Comfort & Convenience
Maruti has become more concerned with detailing of interiors after the launch of Swift and its cabin accessories are increasing with every successive launch. Zen Estilo cars, though just above the Alto's price bracket have a lot of added features that might improve the overall drive experience and comfort levels. Keyless entry, power windows and locking, electrically operated ORVM, remote backdoor and fuel lid opener are few such accessories, which were unheard of a decade ago in most of the lower segment Maruti cars.
Even small details like front door pocket and vanity mirror are included which might add to the convenience of passengers. Cup holders are provided as standard accessory in all the variants and rear luggage shelf is useful for concealing expensive luggage from prying eyes in the parking areas. All variants of Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo cars come with power steering and air conditioning which have become 'must haves' of Indian cars in the last decade.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Wheels & Suspension
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo cars come with tubeless tyres and central tap wheel covers excluding the highest variant Zen Estilo Vxi, which comes with full wheel cover. These wheels combined with gas filled suspensions offer a stable ride even on treacherous roads. Other details of about wheels and suspensions are mentioned below:
Suspension FrontMcPherson Strut with torsion type roll control deviceSuspension RearCoil spring, Gas filled shock absorbers with three link rigid and isolated trailing armShock AbsorbersGas filledTyre (Tubeless)155/80 R13Steering TypeRack & Pinion, Power assisted (excluding Lx)

Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Company Quotes
At the launch of Zen Estilo in December 2006, Mr. Jagdish Khattar, the Managing Director of Maruti Udyog Limited said, "...Young people in India today desire products with contemporary styling and international appeal. The new Zen will appeal to this new India, just as the original Zen appealed to the India of the mid 1990s. It incorporates features and attributes that are uniquely suited to India and valued by Indian car buyers..."
Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi, M.D. & C.E.O of Maruti Suzuki India Limited at the launch of new BS-IV compliant Maruti Suzuki Estilo in August 2009 commented, "...The new Zen Estilo, with a new technology engine and a new transmission, is sure to delight the customer. We are confident that the new Zen Estilo with its bolder new design and interiors will add to the competitive edge of Maruti Suzuki in compact car segment...Product upgradation is an integral part of Maruti Suzuki's business strategy and future plans. This is a way to include feedback from the customers and offer better products that match their tastes..."
At the launch of CNG variant, Zen Estilo Lxi in August 2010, Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi, M.D. & C.E.O. of Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, "...The development is significant on multiple counts. This is the first instance when a car manufacturer has developed and launched factory-fitted technologically superior CNG engines in India. Compressed Natural Gas is environment friendly and also reduces country's dependence on imported fuels. Maruti Suzuki's big ticket entry into CNG fuel segment augurs well for the environment."
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Competitor Analysis
New Zen Estilo is offered in a very competitive price bracket and gives strong competition to the other vehicles from its own family. Estilo's main competitor is Wagon R, which has same engine and almost same dimensions, though it appears roomier with exceptional overall height. Even the technical specifications of the two cars are very similar, but somehow the boot space and over all comfort level of Wagon R is much better. On the other hand, new Zen Estilo car is more stable at turns and high speeds.
Even the engine noise levels of Zen Estilo are lower, which is surely achieved by better tuning and improvements in the engine. Zen Estilo appears to have a lead in terms of initial pricing, which has been kept quite low considering the high standards of the car. One may also like to compare new Zen Estilo with Hyundai Santro and i10 cars. These cars surely have a better engine with exceptional pick up and even the mileage seems to be fine. Luxury and comfort features again are of better class in the Hyundai cars. Moreover, i10 comes with audio system (with controls on steering) and bluetooth connectivity; features that are absent even in higher segment cars of Maruti. However, all these advantages get reflected in the prices of these cars.
Chevrolet Spark seems to be the only contender outside Maruti's inventory, which gives strong competition to the new Zen Estilo cars. Spark is neck to neck in most parameters and even better than the Zen Estilo at some. Even then Chevrolet does not have a big fan following as in India, which gives Zen Estilo cars a slight edge. Zen Estilo price in India might suit the budget of most of the service class and enjoys unmatched support of Maruti's sales and service network.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo LPG/CNG version
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Lxi CNG variant is based on revolutionary iGPI (intelligent gas port injection system). This variant has been specially designed by the manufacturers, in such a way that it causes no adverse affect on the engine performance. Moreover, it reduces the running cost of car by 60%. Special switch has been provided in these cars to switch from CNG mode to petrol mode and vice versa. A special switch mechanism is provided to the driving control panel which facilitates switch over from petrol to CNG mode and vice versa.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Pros
New Zen Estilo cars have a powerful engine, better mileage, effective air conditioning and superb control provided via wider wheel base and power steering. Even at high speeds the new suspensions provide better stability over the potholes. One needs to consider its unmatched price range, resale value and Maruti service network before striking off this vehicle out of available options.
Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Cons
New Zen Estilo 2011 is small even for small families, with very little boot and leg space at the rear seats. Interiors even after having a dual tone designing aren't much different from previous versions and the plastics in dashboard don't have an upmarket feel. Zen Estilo cars do get a little out of control at high speeds and needs more refining in the suspensions and maybe chassis. For city driving it might be a good option considering the price range it comes in, however long excursions can be very tiresome wMaruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Conclusionith this vehicle.
New Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo 2011 is a perfect entry level luxury car, which offers air conditioning, five speed transmission and power steering at a very economical pricing. Like all Maruti cars that perform well in Indian conditions and offer unmatched mileage, new Zen Estilo is also fine tuned to meet expectations of the middle class families. Although, it is not meant for long tours there isn't a better option for city driving and office going purpose for youth.

'Sadak bandh' lasts only till noon; SI killed in mishap
The 'Sadak bandh' sponsored by Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) on the Hyderabad-Bangalore National Highway -7 lasted only till the afternoon on Thursday but left quite a few scars as the committee chairman, M. Kodandaram, and two TRS MLAs landed in jail and a sub-inspector patrolling the highway was killed.
Mr. Kodandaram apart, MLAs Eatala Rajender and Jupally Krishna Rao, former MP A.P. Jitender Reddy and Telangana gazetted officers association president V. Srinivas Goud were lodged in the district jail at Mahabubnagar as they were booked for instigating violence by the crowd during the agitation at Alampur. They were remanded in judicial custody by the junior first class magistrate at Alampur till April 4.
The programme also left a pall of gloom on the huge police force that was drafted for security as a Sub-Inspector from Warangal, P. Chinnappa, was killed and four home guards were injured when a DCM van hit them when they were patrolling the highway at Jadcherla in the early hours.
The Hyderabad range Deputy Inspector General Y. Nagi Reddy told The Hindu that the TRS and T-JAC leaders were charged with causing damage to two RTC buses and one lorry in stone pelting at the toll plaza in Alampur. There were six other similar criminal cases in connection with the bandh but no VIPs were involved. About 1,177 persons were arrested and released on preventive grounds, he added. Advocates owing allegiance to JAC filed a bail petition on behalf of Mr. Kodandaram and others as soon as they were remanded but the magistrate put it off for hearing on Friday. As news about their arrest spread, the employees JAC gave a call to the staff to observe 'black day' on Friday. The JAC convened an emergency meeting at night, while TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao gave a call for protest demonstrations in the region on Friday.
Barring the violence at Alampur, the 'Sadak bandh' was peaceful, although it affected movement of traffic till 1 p.m. Hundreds of activists of TRS, BJP, CPI, CPI-ML (New Democracy) and JAC converged at seven designated points along the highway to block traffic since morning. Cultural artistes of 'dhoom dham' even set up a tent at Palmakula.

We have posted before about medical monitoring claims, and recently noted how plaintiff attorneys have cast their eyes on hydraulic fracturing operations as a new source of revenue.
Now let's see how they combine: some Pennsylvania residents are suing various drilling companies over hydraulic fracturing operations, alleging that such operations have increased their risk of future disease such that they need medical monitoring. Fiorentino v. Cabot Oil & Gas Co., et al., No. 3:09-cv-02284 (M.D. Pa.). Plaintiffs seek a medical monitoring trust fund, paid for by the drillers.
The case is in the discovery stages, and defendants, logically, are seeking medical records of the plaintiffs. Those not familiar with medical monitoring may wonder why medical records would be relevant regarding those plaintiffs who do not allege a traditional present physical injury but only the risk of future injury. Indeed, plaintiffs earlier this month filed a motion seeking to block defendants from obtaining the medical records.
However, defendants correctly point out in response that, in Pennsylvania, plaintiffs must prove all of the following elements to succeed on a claim for medical monitoring...

Mahoney believes Kenya's inquest probe was far more complete than the "official" one by the FBI. "So many people who should have been interviewed came forward at the inquest," she says.
On August 1, 2007, the inquest finally came to an end. Kenyan Magistrate Maureen Odero ruled that John Kaiser did not commit suicide, thus rejecting earlier findings by Kenyan authorities and the FBI that he shot himself in the back of the head with a shotgun. Kaiser was murdered.
Kevin Foust, the FBI agent who led the investigation, offered but two words last week when asked to square his determination of suicide with the findings of the inquest: "No comment."
"The wonderful thing about this whole thing is that there are thousands—thousands—of Kenyans who absolutely knew John was murdered," Fran Kaiser, the priest's brother, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "He had been their greatest advocate for years. Their hope for any justice was bashed, but now it is resurrected again."
Mahoney, though, is not optimistic about the Kenyan government's chances of ever finding her brother's killer. "It's a cold case," she says. "Whoever pulled the trigger is probably dead themselves."
Four thousand people attended Father John Kaiser's funeral on August 31, 2000. They packed the basilica in Nairobi and stood in the street outside. Pigeons circled the rafters of the cathedral—"like the Holy Spirit," Mahoney says—as the crowd sang the missionary anthem, "Here I Am, Lord." As Kaiser himself had requested, his body was laid to rest under a fig tree in Lolgorien. His family covered the grave with a protective layer of cement.
In Kenya today, the American missionary remains a national hero. Children are named after him. "Every August 24 is celebrated like Martin Luther King Day here," says Father Vos. "He's a focal point for anyone working for peace and justice in that country."

An update on rotator cuff repair procedures and new anchor designs.
Why this is Important
New materials used to improve the design of medical devices often may be the source of new failure modes. According to the study's authors, recent innovations include the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in anchors, a strong, radiolucent material that can be drilled if revision surgery is necessary. Other new materials include the use of bioabsorbable materials for shoulder anchors. Many designs incorporate multiple high-strength sutures, made partially or fully with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).
Shoulder Anchors and the Market for Arthroscopy Devices
In the arthroscopy device market, the value of the shoulder anchor segment is the largest of all arthroscopy devices (estimated at $575 million in 2011) and is one of the top three rapid growth markets, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5 percent in 2011. Compare this to rotator cuff repair grafts and meniscal repair devices, which had 2011 CAGRs of 13.6 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively. (2)
Drivers to Procedure Rates for Shoulder Fixation
Rotator cuff and glenohumeral repair procedures are projected to increase, driven by the aging U.S. population; a growing map ket of active baby boomers, with corresponding increases in injury rates; and adoption of products with claims of higher performance, at premium prices. (3)
Trends in Shoulder Anchor Design
From the data, the authors concluded that there is a trend toward non-metallic, higher strength anchors, especially for rotator cuff repair. High-strength sutures containing UHMWPE may be replacing braided polyester sutures. Newer anchor designs impact load-to-failure strength complications centered on suture strength and suture eyelet design. Anchor pullout was seen less frequently in this research, making anchor eyelet design more important. However, the authors were careful to note that the most common failure mode, even in anchors with high failure-to load strength, is in the rotator cuff tendon/suture interface. (4)
Final Analysis
In most cases, shoulder fixation surgery is elective and annual procedure rates for shoulders are still recovering since the recession in 2009. However, the shoulder and elbow surgery market is one where new materials, design and technology make a difference, and the opportunity for medical device innovation continues.

I think that could be the undercard fight but not the main event, Dana white said its going to be a really big fight...Tito vs Franklin isnt a really big fight imonot at this point anywayI think the main fight on the FOX card is a title fight ? if possible...idk, but something BIGger
9/2/11 7:48 AM by Mulletron5000
Tito is probably one of the most recognizable faces in MMA, right next to Chuck Liddell. Being on The Apprentice pretty much guaranteed that he will be on the FOX fight.
9/2/11 7:41 AM by Chimonos Revenge
People need to stop thinking about it like the FOX fight is going to be a hardcore fan superfight.Its far from that.Its going to be a fight to sell MMA and the UFC to people who may not have otherwise watched it much before.
9/2/11 7:40 AM by Chimonos Revenge
They are both still very popular with fans and recognizable.Plus Rich is a perfect guy to put out to the Fox masses.Clean cut, well spoken, great ambassador for the sport.From a meaningful standpoint, it isnt really that important of a fight, but to casual fans (and the new fans they hope to attract with FOX) it is a good match up.All speculation until 1:00pm though.
9/2/11 7:35 AM by torquemada
I'm a fan of both, but I don't think using two of your older (and forgive me) declining fighters is the best start for the FOX broadcasts...
9/2/11 7:18 AM by InvisibleControl
Agreed with everyone else. This isn't a main event worthy fight. They would never have this fight main event a PPV, they would have it as a co-main. If this is the main event I will be terribly disappointed. Good fight, but not good enough.
9/2/11 7:14 AM by duckhuntgangsta
He's messing with you.
9/2/11 7:10 AM by aatard
I think it's a good main event from a business standpoint. Hardcore fans are going to watch regardless. Casual fans will watch because it's two big names in the sport. People tuning in for the first time will get a very good technical fight which is good for the sport. If the second fight is between a couple of solid featherweights or lightweights, it could be a great business move.
9/2/11 6:19 AM by Don_Dada
Great main event for FOX, if it was 5 years ago.

9 Thoughts About This Actual Butthole in an American Apparel Ad
So, um... a bit old news but this article is killing me.
Source : http://thoughtcatalo...can-apparel-ad/
Regarding: http://americanappar...merican-apparel
- I feel like we're way overdue for glorifying the butthole. Like, there's nothing wrong with a butthole. I know that a lot of people know that, and embrace their own buttholes, as well as the buttholes of others; some people unabashedly celebrate the butthole. But as a whole, as a society, we aren't yet fully loving ourselves anally.
- In some ways, this ad isn't even that unrealistic. Sure, there are more appropriate things you could wear on a bike, but anyone who's ever spent a summer with a bike as their primary form of transportation knows that there are some days when a combination of high temperatures and not giving a fuck result in you biking around wearing as little clothing as possible. The creeps and prudes don't matter in those moments. Sometimes, it's just you, the road, the heat, and your butthole in the breeze.
- Even models' buttholes are more photogenic than normal buttholes.
- I feel like if her eyes weren't cropped out of this, it would feel entirely different. Like, maybe they're predictably blank, fuck-doll eyes, but what if they were wide open, terrified, OMG IT'S RIGHT BEHIND ME eyes? They pretty much had to crop out the eyes so you wouldn't get distracted from dat ass.
- Wait, we are right behind her. Doesn't this feel like she's trying to haul ass away from the audience? Are we supposed to assume that she's looking back in a coy, "hey, follow me, let's have sexy fun!" way, as opposed to a "Please leave me alone and stop staring at my butthole" way? Isn't that assumption on the part of the viewer – and the assumption by American Apparel that we would make that assumption – indicative of a really unhealthy sense of entitlement to women's bodies and the notion that, just by existing and having buttholes, they are implicitly consenting for you to look and follow (and…???) This is getting dark.
- "They pretty much had to crop out the eyes so you wouldn't get distracted from dat ass." – I think this is a direct quote from the "How To Objectify And Dehumanize The Female Body To Sell Things" handbook.
- This is also very body-positive. Possibly rape-positive too. But body-positive for sure. Don't shame the butthole.
- That thong looks really comfortable as far as thongs go and I would like to buy several.
- I understand that, ultimately, me writing this is all American Apparel wanted. They weren't making a statement. They weren't being exploitative. They just wanted people to write about them and maybe sell some extra thongs as a result. Advertising is less about who you can pay to promote your products and more about what you can do to get people to talk about them for free.

What are some of your favorite meals/recipes that are relatively simple, or not too weird for non-vegetarians. I've found some nice blogs and websites for this, but I'm curious as to what kind of things you all make that everyone* can enjoy.
I've been to a lot of potlucks lately, and I have one tomorrow, and I wanted to try something different than what I've already made. Plz share <3

so last night Summer added a bunch of movies to streaming Netflix, and we were kind of in the mood for something scary. so one that she added was Last House On The Left. unbeknownst to her it was the original 1972 Wes Craven version. which may just be the WORST "horror" movie i have ever seen. also the most not scary.
not sure if you've seen it, but if you have, you will know that all the scenes that are supposed to be tense and scary are paired with Benny Hill-style goofy music or tripped out bongo-laden mystical crap that just makes the whole movie laughable. add on horrible acting, dialogue, script, and the worst part: CINEMATOGRAPHY AND DIRECTION. the chase scenes had everyone running at best a speedwalk, and the one girl gets so far ahead of her attacker she is on the other side of a river yet he still catches up with her. by walking hurriedly.
anyway. a good amount of nudity and rape. so there was that.
^ this link better show up
great idea, horribly executed. do want to see the new one though.

"Orlikins Goes To ......" orlikins's Profile
My most popular VT page seems to be Dublin, which I'm delighted about. Dublin is such a popular destination, it can be hard to try to write something that doesnt sing the praises of Temple Bar & Trinity college! There is more to Dublin than that.
But don't just look at this page and Dublin, please check out my other pages too!
I did quite a lot of backpacking when I was a student, but now that I have joined the real world, I get to travel for my business sometimes. Which is nice :-) I still enjoy going on road trips. But I've been a bit spoilt by executive travelling, I couldn't share in a hostel dorm now full of snoring strangers, now that I'm used to hotel suites WITH FREE SOAP & TOWELS!!!!
So here is a basic history from my first foreign excursion in 1998 til now.
1998 - Geneva (my first time on the Continent!), Munich, Spain
1999 - Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Belgium.
2000 - Prague
2001 - Backpacking around the Baltic states from Finland to Poland in two weeks. Germany on business.
2002 - Andorra, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the UK. Learned to drive, got a car and did a couple of daytrips in Ireland.
2003 - Did not stray too far. I visited Paris, the Isle of Man and Belfast, Northern Ireland. And the usual weekends away in Ireland.
2004 - Germany & Switzerland. Northern Ireland, Netherlands.
2005 - Weekends away around Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland, business trip to England, a week in Portugal
2006 - Killarney, Limerick, Wexford, Amsterdam, Belfast, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego and Mexico. (a pretty good year so far!)
2007 - Berlin, Aran Islands, Belfast, Hungary
2008 - Galway (for work), Lough Ennell, France (Lille), Belgium (Bruges & Brussels)
It is important for me to try to blend in as much as possible. I _hate_ to stick out as a tourist. As a translator and language professional, local accents and dialects fascinate me & sometimes I might even learn something ;) If I don't go abroad at least twice a year, then I get very upset *grin*
Also, out of reasons of convenience, necessity, whatever, I usually travel on my own, which is why I think "blending in" is important. As a single female traveller, I do not want to draw attention to myself, who needs that kind of hassle? Some of my pages will have tips for single female travellers, which are 100% based on past experiences.
I refuse to stick to a guide book - I prefer to discover a place my way.
Why follow a path that has already been trod upon? Just because some bar/restaurant/musueum is in a guide book does _not_ mean it has to be visited for the sake of it.
I believe in only visiting places that genuinely attract you, not for the sake of ticking it off in a tour-guide list just because some book says it is a "to-do" thing. You would not catch me dead in any of those Dublin bars recommended in tourist guides! :) They've been completely ruined for me and other locals because they are are now full of tourists consulting their little guidebooks, marking it off as "OK, we've done that one". HOW BORING!! Grrr! Look up from your precious little book and actually SEE what is going on around you! I'm not a big fan of package holidays either - I don't see the point of going to some ugly resort in Spain full of Brits & Irish people getting drunk and avoiding the person they shagged the night before. Depends on the resort, of course. :) Some people love that sort of holiday, I don't.
I hope you enjoy reading my pages & I'd love it if you left a nice comment.
I've kinda stopped logging in to VT as much as I used to. I've been here for 6 years now so I guess I've gotten bored with it and a lot of people I used to know here aren't here anymore, so it is why I've lost interest, to be honest.
I'm just here to stick my travel pics and tips online and maybe check out a couple of forums. I don't bother with my VT mail either.
Sorry if that comes across as being harsh (I don't mean it to be), but if you're looking for penpals, there are plenty of other nice people you can write to :)
- Whatever I know about a country/town goes into the relevant pages.
If I don't know about it or have not seen/done it for myself, then I don't write about it. You'll have to keep looking in VT or do a Google Search. :)
So what's with the pic? Only Irish people would really get this, but this little red-head is called Bosco, who was a puppet who was repeated on Irish day time TV for like 20 years. Even more annoying than Barney, if that is possible. He's gotten a bit naughty now that he's hit the puberty years, as you can see ;) He's the Irish version of the Evil Bert phenomenon, really...

Queen of radio soap operas dies
Eloisa Cruz Canlas, otherwise known as "Lola Sela Bungangera," the inimitable Queen of Radio Drama, died on July 15 from an illness she contracted following a road accident on November 3 last year.
She is survived by sons Robert and Edward.
Her remains lie at Holy Trinity Chapels, Dr. A. Santos Avenue, Sucat, Parañaque City. Cremation will be held on July 18 at 10 a.m.
Lola Sela began her voice-acting career on campus radio as a hobby and later turned her exceptional talent into a career on dzRH radio and the Manila Broadcasting Corp. for more than five decades.
She pioneered in radio operas in the 1970s that endorsed soap products such as Safeguard, Tide, Mr. Clean, Camay and many others.
Earlier last year, she was conferred the University of the Philippines Gawad Plaridel Award for her unique abilities and contribution to the broadcast industry.

The government on Monday revised upward its foodgrain production estimates at 218.20 million tonnes in the 2009—10 crop year, even as it sees lower output of rice, wheat and pulses.
Although foodgrains production in the 2009—10 crop year (July—June) is anticipated to surpass the earlier estimate of 218.19 million tonnes, it is still lower than the output of 234.47 million tonnes achieved in 2008—09, it said in a statement.
The Agriculture Ministry, which forecasts foodgrains production at different stages of harvest, has lowered the production estimates for rice, wheat, pulses and oilseeds, but has augmented the projections for coarse cereals output in its fourth advance estimates of crop production for 2009—10.
As per the fourth estimates, rice production is likely to be around 89.13 million tonnes in 2009—10, lower than the earlier projection of 89.31 million tonnes and much lower than the record 99.18 million tonnes achieved in 2008—09.
The sharp fall in rice output was mainly due to the severe drought in 2009 that hit more than half the country.
Though wheat output is seen marginally down from the earlier estimate at 80.71 million tonnes, it is still higher than the previous year's record output of 80.68 million tonnes.
Pulses production is also pegged at 14.59 million tonnes, lower than the earlier forecast of 14.77 million tonnes, but higher than the previous year's 14.57 million tonnes.
Similarly, oilseeds production is likely to be 23.94 million tonnes less than the earlier projection of 25.41 million tonnes for 2009—10. This is also lower than the previous year's actual production of 27.72 million tonnes.
In contrast, coarse cereals production is likely to have improved to 23.63 million tonnes in 2009—10 from the earlier estimate of 23.20 million tonnes. Nevertheless, coarse cereals output is still lower than the production of 28.54 million tonnes in 2008—09.
Sugarcane output is likely to have slightly improved to 277.75 million, lower than the previous year's production of 285.03 million tonnes.
Among non—food crops, cotton production is seen to have risen to 24.93 million bales in 2009—10 from 22.28 million bales in 2008—09. One bale of cotton contains 170 kg.

Very good halter
posted 5 years ago
We have several of these halters. We buy different colors for each horse. That way we easily know which one fits which horse. They are durable and washable. We do not keep halters on our horses when turned out, but I have not seen any rub spots on their faces because of them. Good buy!
Pros: Durable
Cons: None
