One of the charms of our favored V-8 engine layout is a cylinder head topping the cylinder bores at each bank, processing the fuel/air mixture, and releasing spent gases in an efficient manner. As a necessity, bridging the gap between these cylinder banks is the intake manifold, fittingly the crowning component of the engine and garnering a large share of the visual attention. Besides looking good, an intake manifold is a major contributor to an engine's power production and performance characteristics. An intake manifold is charged with the seemingly simple duty of routing air and fuel via passages from the fuel and throttle source to these twin rows of cylinder heads. Although its function is simple enough to recognize, the subtleties of an intake's configuration and design play a key role in performance.
Early in the development of the internal combustion engine, intake manifold design considered little more than the requirements of connecting the various cylinders to the carburetor. It didn't take long for hot-rodders and racing teams alike to realize the relevance of the intake manifold to engine output. High-performance aftermarket intake manifolds have become one of the most popular components in seeking to enhance engine output, with a broad range of choices, even from a single manufacturer. The difficulty can be narrowing down the selection to a specific style and type.
One of the key distinctions in intake-manifold type is related to the layout of the various runners; and, of these, the commonly available configurations are single- and dual-plane manifolds. The difference is fairly easy to see. With a single-plane, all the runners originate from a common chamber under the carb, referred to as the plenum, and connect to the ports at the cylinder head directly, in as uniform a layout as practical. In a dual-plane configuration, the layout is more convoluted, with various passages laid out in two levels, originating from a divided plenum and crossing in a seemingly random way to the cylinder-head banks. The distinction here has a greater relevance than is apparent at first blush. Closer scrutiny will reveal that the runner layout mirrors the firing sequence of the engine, providing that induction is drawn from alternating sides of the intake manifold with each induction sequence of the engine.
Without getting deep into engine design theory, a V-8 engine fires a cylinder each 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation. A dual-plane intake manifold essentially isolates the induction to resemble two four-cylinder systems, doubling the separation of induction pulses to 180 degrees. As it relates to valve timing, this separation allows for a cleaner communication of the induction pulse of a cylinder drawing an induction charge from the carburetor than is the case with a single-plane intake manifold. The positive effects are improved throttle response, torque production, manifold vacuum, and engine smoothness, primarily at lower rpm. While a single-plane manifold disregards the low-speed benefits of 180-degrees pulse separation, at higher rpm the dynamic effects of high-speed airflow become more significant, and the direct passages of this intake manifold configuration often provide for improved high-rpm output.

Rating: 5.00 out of 5 votes cast
I didn't have particularly high expectations when ordering these leggings but was pleasantly pleased when they arrived. They went on like a dream and fit exactly like I like my leggings to fit. They shape my behind and make my thighs feel firmer. I was also surprised at how cool they feel against the skin so they will be great for summer. They do have a very slight sheen, but nothing that noticeable. Love them!!
Wichita, KS
I spent a few hours looking for good leggings on the web and then finally went through my metrostyle catalog and found exactly what I was looking for at the right price! These leggings are thick enough to avoid any embarrassing 'see through' issues and the tall medium is perfect for me, 6' 175lbs. So happy with this purchase and may grab another black pair before they go on back order or something crazy!
Portland, OR
Great Find
Love leggings in general, great go-to item and these are perfect. Form-fitting but comfy, love the feel. I ordered one in the black. They go great with leather boots
Milwaukee, WI
Nice leggings
I bought 3 pairs of these. I love the fit. I got the tall size as I am 5'9". The fit is very snug yet comfortable and shows all your curves. The waist is high with plenty of stretch. I am 160 lbs. and the MT size fits nicely. They are slim through the hips and thigh. Great for doing yoga or other workouts.
venice, FL
The one you've been waiting for
they're heavier than tights, not itchy, feels like they're holding me in all around equally. The exact fiber content is: 57% cotton, 38% rayon, 5% spandex. For where I live, this would NOT be for really hot days, I don't think. For that I go to all rayon.I've come back to buy more for when these wear out; how about more colors? I could do with a stone-washed denim color or a heather gray.

Stain Removal for Bruce Dura-Luster and Dura-Luster Plus Floors
Modified on 2007/12/27 15:20 by Administrator — Categorized as: Bruce Hardwood Floors
Tips on Repairing Blemishes
Most problems can be prevented or minimized by wiping up any spills immediately. We have provided some common first aid procedures for spot cleaning and touch-up/repair of your Bruce Dura-Luster/Dura-Luster plus finish floor. When removing a spot, always begin at the outer edge and work towards the center to prevent the spot from spreading. Keep a Bruce Touch-Up Kit which blends with your factory-stained floors available. This kit contains all the materials you will need to handle most of the accidents listed here.
Spots caused by food, water or animals
Place Bruce No-Wax Cleaner on a clean cloth to remove the stain or spot. More stubborn spots may require additional scrubbing with Bruce No-Wax Cleaner and a Bruce Scrub Pad.
Greasy spots or ink spots
Rub grease, tar, lipstick, crayon, rubber scuffs, or oil spots with a cloth or Bruce Scrub Pad dampened with Bruce No-Wax Cleaner. If stain remains, rub with a cloth or Bruce Scrub Pad dampened with Clean 'n' Strip and follow up by cleaning area with Bruce No-Wax Cleaner.
Cigarette Burns
Most common burns can be repaired with the Bruce Touch-Up Kit. Rub area with fine sandpaper, restain with Bruce Touch-Up Marker and refinish with Bruce Dura-Luster urethane. For cigarette burns that extend deep into the surface of the wood, individual plank, strip, or parquet boards may need to be replaced.
Chewing gum, candle wax
Apply a plastic bag filled with ice on top of the deposit until it becomes brittle enough to crumble off. Clean 'n' Strip can be helpful in removing stubborn areas. After deposit has been removed from the surface of the floor, clean entire area with Bruce No-Wax Floor Cleaner.
Expansion cracks and squeaks
Hardwood floors are affected by two distinct humidity seasons - heating and non-heating. Recognizing that wood floor dimensions will be slightly affected by varying levels of humidity, care should be taken to control humidity levels within the 35-55% range. If humid or damp weather causes a slight expansion in your hardwood floor, the edges of boards may rub together, producing a squeak. For solid oak floors, a liberal amount of tal*** powder between the squeaking boards will usually quiet things down. For engineered, glued-down floors with squeaking boards or loose popping sounds, inquire about the Bruce Adhesive Repair Kit at your local retailer. Avoid excessive exposure to water from tracking during periods of inclement weather, Do not obstruct the expansion joints around the perimeter of your floors.
Refurbishing scratched areas
Most scratches can be repaired with the Bruce Touch-Up Kit. Since Bruce floors are factory finished, individual planks, strips or parquets that are heavily gouged or damaged can be replaced. If needed, the entire floor can be refurbished by lightly sanding and recoating with numerous water borne finishes available from most re***ble floor finish manufacturers. Areas of light wear, gloss loss or when a general appearance improvement is required can be polished using Bruce Fresh Finish.

Can I use Time Capsule to stream iTunes videos to my MacBook Pro which is connected to my LCD television?
I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro and I connect the laptop to the TV to watch my iTunes movies and TV shows but many of them are on my iMac so I stream them through home sharing to my laptop. An Airport Express provides the network and the internet. With HD shows though i often find it lagging and skipping. So i want to use the Time Capsule to store all my itunes videos and stream them to whatever i want to watch them on. Possible?
- Asked by Davis W from Portland
QA Apple Time Capsule
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes, but your lagging will continue (nothing will change) as long as any part of the pathway is wifi. Time Capsule does not do anything different than the Airport Express, except hold data either on its internal HD or one attached via USB.
If you use the built-in gigabit ethernet switch on the Time Capsule to both connect (via Cat 5 or better wire,) the MacBook Pro and the iMac, then you could avoid the skips and lag.
If you only want to watch video on your TV, then the new Apple TV is the better device. It can (wifi) stream from either the content on your MacBook Pro or iMac. The difference is caching the data so no skips occur.
- Answered by Harold Z from Honolulu
It would be better to fix the lag problem, buying an apple tv and connect it by cable.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Nicola Clark, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 22 December 2011 10:30AM
The British Retail Consortium has revealed that numbers for the week beginning December 12 were up 2.5% year-on-year across all locations. Both high street and shopping centre Christmas shoppers were up by 2.6% each, while out-of-town stores experienced a 0.3% increase.
Research from shopper marketing agency Live and Breathe suggests that lavish Christmas windows are putting the theatre back into the retail experience.
The report praised Selfridges for integrating on and offline activity, stating: "The website carries the same icy look and feel. While the seasonal promotions were in evidence in both spaces, the initiatives were different."
However, not all retailers hit the right note with their windows. Harrods, famed for its lavish store windows, was criticised in the report, which said: "It's a shame that one of the wintery sets ends up looking like a stack of sun beds, one of top of each other, with a semi-clothed model topping up her tan."

• Is this how your grandparents farmed? great-grandparents? What would they say about the methods we're using today?
• Are you feeling peace about your stewardship calling (based on Genesis 1:28-30 AND Proverbs 12:10a)?
I confess, perhaps I am not as active as I could or should be. But I'm doing more today than I was 5 years ago. Today I'm alert. I'm as attentive as time allows. And I am making small steps to be active. I have to... The future of our food is at stake.

Pro HDR by eyeApps is an HDR photography app which takes high dynamic range photos using your iPhone camera. As iOS 4.1 brought this functionality to the iPhone 4, it left 3GS owners out in the cold. No worries, as Pro HDR is one of many apps that give you this functionality, and then some.
Let me start out by going over what HDR actually is. If you've ever taken a picture with your iPhone, you've noticed how dark some areas end up in order to brighten up another area. HDR is the process of taking multiple shots at different exposure settings, and intelligently blending them into 1 image. The result is a clear picture just as your eye sees it, but your camera cannot.
Note: Pro HDR is compatible with the iPhone 4 and 3GS only.
Pro HDR features Automatic, and Manual photo capture. Automatic mode automates the process of taking multiple shots, and blending. Manual mode has you take each shot, and choose the exposure for each image.
There is also Photo Library support, where you can work with existing pictures from your Photos app. With the inclusion of Live-updating, you can fine tune your HDR photo by tweaking image adjustment sliders for the perfect amount of brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth and tint. If file size is important to you, you'll be glad to find the option to output images at 3, or 5 megapixels. Images can be shared straight from the app via email.
The Good:
It's no secret that the App Store is full of apps that promise HDR. What makes Pro HDR so significant is that it actually takes multiple shots, rather than manipulating a single shot to look like HDR. It's as authentic as it can get for an iPhone.
I found Pro HDR to be much more capable than the built-in the iPhone 4 version. Instead of Apple's 'you get what you get' method, Pro HDR actually lets me customize the image further after the fact. Even though the app does a good enough job taking photos in Automatic mode, I found it handy being able to fine tune the shot just in case I needed to.
The interface is very minimal and easy to navigate; Automatic mode is pretty much a one step process. All you really need to worry about is keeping your hands still while Pro HDR does its thing. While Manual mode does a fine job at producing high range photos, I found Automatic to be sufficient enough to ditch Manual.
The Bad:
Upon launching Pro HDR, I noticed the "Library HDR" option. I wondered how this would work, given the fact that you need two shots taken at different exposure settings. I thought it may just manipulate single shots like I had mentioned about other apps. Turns out you actually do need to have two existing shots, and I doubt many people have that in their image library.
The amount of time it takes the app to analyze, then take 2 pictures takes up to 12-15 seconds on an iPhone 4. During this period your hands need to be very still as the app tells you during the process. This can be very difficult for some people, so if keeping your hands still for that amount of time is a problem, you may want to re-consider as your shots are not going to look very pleasing.
The sharing option left much to be desired. With Twitter and Facebook integration being so common within apps these days, I don't see why it was left out. I won't judge too harshly though, as it may likely be added in a future update.
If you're a disgruntled 3G S owner upset over being left out of the HDR party in 4.1, your solution has arrived. Pro HDR, while not as painless as Apple's solution, offers features that are essential to good photography. With Auto and Manual modes, along with scalability in Brightness, Contrast and more, it has enough reasons for iPhone 4 owners to make the switch as well. Pro HDR is a should buy!

Mojo means your influence, confidence or personal charisma. It was originally a slang term from the US associated with the music and dance culture, but has entered the English as well as the American language and is being used more widely. It has also taken on an additional meaning of personal confidence and charisma with regard to sexual relationships. The word Mojo itself probably derives from African-American language where it refers to a personal talisman or witchcraft charm, and is itself derived from the word Moco used by the Gullah people meaning witchcraft. The word First received widespread exposure in the 1957 recording of the song Got My Mojo Working by Muddy Waters.

Wow, I didn't even know there was a newspaper strip!
I saw this female Eternian soldier character named Diana or Diane from MOTU Newspaper Comic Strips.
The comic I have is in Serbian, and in two places the name is written differently, in English it would be "Soldier Diana" and "Soldier Diane"...so I was wondering which one is right?
I have just a few pages of these newspaper comic strips so I was wondering is there more pictures of her, is there something interesting about here in that story, since she is the third female in the Eternian Royal Guard, besides Captain Teela and Lieutenant Andra.
Wow, I didn't even know there was a newspaper strip!
From 1985 to 1989, the daily He-Man and the Masters of the Universe comic strip was syndicated to newspapers all over the world. As is generally the case with newspaper comic strips, the weekday strips were printed in black & white and the Sunday strips were presented in glorious color. These daily comic strips featured a cohesive continuity and often explored characters and concepts which had little exposure in either the cartoons or comic books.
Hadn't heard of Soldier Diana. Very cool find! Some of the folks involved with the strip will be at Power-Con again this year, including Chris Weber and Karen Willson. Maybe someone can ask about Soldier Diana.

Are there any updates about the newspaper strips released ?
Since the amazing Penny Dreadful interview with Chris Weber, I heard nothing more...

Does anyone have a scan of some comic pages showing Diana where we can see how she is colored in some normal edition, since this Yugoslavian edition has all wrong colors?
And can someone confirm her name, is it DianA or DianE or something third?

|Complete Experiment Safety Documentation
|Wednesday, 02 June 2010 14:26
The steps for authorization of your experiment are described below.
Prior to Your Arrival at the ALS
If you did not submit a General User Proposal, you must submit an ESS one month prior to arrival at the ALS.
2. Biological, Radioactive, and Hazardous Materials
If your experiment involves the use of any of the above materials—no matter how small the quantities are or how innocuous the sample may be—additional authorization may be required. Please submit your ESS early and clearly identify your materials. Our staff will assess the hazards and contact you about any necessary supplementary documentation.
3. Electrical Equipment and Lasers
Experiments involving electrical equipment or lasers that are brought to ALS will need an inspection before the experiment starts. Please submit your ESS early, clearly describe the equipment and work with the Experiment Coordinator to schedule the inspection.
If you need access to the ALS Chemistry Lab you will need to complete training and documentation.
5. Experiment Coordinator will contact you
Upon Arrival at the ALS
On the outer wall of the ALS at the appropriate beamline sector board you will find a paper copy of the ESS plus any other required documentation in the plastic ESS holder.
7. Check the ESS for accuracy and have all participants sign on final page
The ESS also needs to be signed by subject matter experts, depending on the hazards, and finally by the Beamline Scientist to authorize the experiment. No work should be done until the ESS is authorized.
8. Changes to an Experiment
At this stage, any changes to the experiment, including sample materials, hardware, or personnel must be documented on a Functional Change Form. Please notify the Beamline Scientist or Experiment Coordination any time you need to make a change.
9. User Experiment Form (UEF)
The UEF (to be placed in front of the ESS) also needs to be completed and signed by the participants, and initialed by the beamline scientist. This form provides "real time" experiment information i.e., dates and times when the work is being performed, participant contacts and possible experiment hazards.
10. Final Experiment Approval
Once all documentation is signed, and the ESS and UEF are posted, the experiment may proceed.
During the Experiment
All work must be carried out following the hazard controls identified in the ESS and with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the type of work and for the area where the work is being performed.

Don Letts - Culture Clash, Chapter 6
Wednesday, 11th Apr 2012
You're Gonna Wake Up One Morning...
In an atmosphere of IRA bombs going off in London, racism and the rise of the National Front, Chelsea continued to be a melting pot of fashion and counter culture. I remember one day in the early seventies, I was walking up the King's Road and came across Let It Rock. It was like an Aladdin's cave of subculture. Then, in 1973 Let It Rock mutated into Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die, selling biker jackets, black sleeveless T-shirts, and custom-made zoot suits. While I was at the Jean Machine I got to know Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood when I dropped into their shop one day. Soon after that, they shrewdly changed the name from T.F.T.L.T.Y.T.D to SEX, and the scene around the new shop became very exclusive, like a secret society. Customers didn't want to tell anyone else where they had got their clothes from, or even where the shop was, for fear of being scooped. There were very few people in the funk scene at that time that were tapped into what Malcolm and Vivienne were doing. But I thought nothing of moving between the world of funk, reggae and the desire to be unique. This meant that back in Brixton I was a laughing stock for a while. I was wearing wet-look peg-leg trousers with winkle-picker boots, as well as my earrings.
SEX was a shop with a definite ideology. It was not about selling golden oldies or any old tat; it was about creating ATTITUDE with a capital A. The shop could be intimidating to the passer-by, or even the customers, with its blacked-out windows. Once inside there was chicken wire on the walls and excerpts from Valerie Solanis' SCUM Manifesto scrawled all over the place which gave the shop a dark and claustrophobic vibe. One of the earliest SEX T-shirt designs had "You're gonna wake up one morning and know which side of the bed you've been lying on" printed on it. There were two columns; on one side were things that were "in", and on the other side things that were "out". What was cool was that it didn't specify which side was which. Listed on the T-shirt were Jamaican rude boys, Zoot suits and dreadlocks and stuff like Durrutti. It gave the notion that cultural ideas were being shared and absorbed. There had been a brief moment while Malcolm was away in New York with the New York Dolls that Vivien actually offered me a job, and I remember her taking me to a Lou Reed gig.
We must have looked pretty strange, me in my electric blue zoot suit and dreadlocks, Vivienne in her see-through rubber cat-suit. The main reason I had not taken up her job offer was that I could not really see myself in black patent leather gear and high heels; it would have been a move too far even for me. She demanded total loyalty and commitment. You were with her or not. Soon after the shop would be run on a day-to-day basis by a guy called Michael and Jordan (not that one!) a curvy bouffant blonde who dressed like a dominatrix. We became good friends, which was useful as they 'looked after' me. I remember being up in my bedroom trying on a rubber T-shirt Michael had given me. I wasn't sure I could pull off wearing it in Brixton, so I thought I'd try it on in privacy first. I put the T-shirt on and it was really uncomfortable and hot, so I tried to take it off and it got stuck over my head. Michael had neglected to tell me about covering myself in talcum powder before putting it on. Talk about panic, the T-shirt was wedged around my neck and the bastard thing did not want to come off. It was stuck like one of those face-hugging creatures from Alien, and I'm suffocating, literally. So I hooked the T-shirt onto the bedpost and tried to force the bastard thing off. When I eventually did manage to remove it I was out of breath, red in the face and the T-shirt was a heap on the floor with a huge rip in it.
In early 1975 I left Jean Machine and found myself once again unemployed for a brief while. On the Brixton Road I stumbled across a shop called Acme which sold jukeboxes, pinball machines and one-armed bandits. The shop intrigued me and I wandered in one day and struck up a friendship with the shop's owner John Krevine. In late 1975 he decided to open a stall in the Antiquarius indoor antique market on the King's Road. As I was unemployed, had experience at working at the Jean Machine and the gift of the gab, Krevine asked me to manage his newly named Acme Attractions stall and I accepted. One of the first things I did was load the jukebox with all my favourite reggae tunes. The Antiquarius market had some very old fogey-style antique stalls in it. There was a prehistoric atmosphere with lots of people selling antiques—and then there was me on my stall pumping out reggae and pissing everybody off. Also in the Antiquarius market around that time was Bernard Rhodes who had a stall selling his screen-printed T-shirts and vintage reggae albums, which obviously caught my attention. Our paths would soon cross as he would go on to manage the Clash and through my connection with them, I had a lot of dealings with him.
Malcolm McLaren sadly passed away April 10th 2010. Now a lot's been said about him in his time and its probably all true but I have to say it was an honour to know the man. He showed me how to join the counter-cultural dots and set me on a path that led to where I am today. And let's be honest today's culture just ain't making mavericks like that anymore.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Thriving entrepreneurial hot spots do not just pop up overnight. It takes more than a few growing startups to turn a city intro a hub of entrepreneurial activity. This thought is confirmed by a new Kauffman Foundation white paper entitled "Path-Dependent Startup Hubs – Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density".
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
Fast Company's latest list of "The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies" contains many of the usual suspects we see on lists of this type. It's pretty commonplace to see Apple, Google, Cisco, and Intel in lists of innovative firms. However, this year's No. 1 company...
More than 20 years ago, MTV launched the reality TV genre by throwing a group of strangers together in the same house to live and work. The show started in New York and has been filmed in 27 cities since. While Kansas City never had a chance to "find out what happens when people stop being polite... and start getting real" it is getting something even better—and certainly much less annoying—the Brad Feld's KC Fiberhouse.
Today is a very exciting day for the 1 Million Cups program. We are three quarters of the way to our goal of twenty U.S. cities by then end of 2013. But more importantly, the debut launch of 1MC Orlando and San Diego demonstrates the power of collaboration at the grassroots level.
The U.S. is gearing up for the launch of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) on Nov. 15. More than 1,300 U.S. organizations in all 50 states are collaborating to celebrate entrepreneurship Nov. 15 – 21. These organizations include top universities, non-profit organizations, successful entrepreneurs, government agencies and corporate sponsors. The state of California is the most active with over 106 partner organizations, closely followed by Michigan (100 partners).
What is going on in Canada?
A couple of weeks ago, we pointed out a recent Forbes study that ranked Canada as the 'best country for business.' Apparently Forbes weren't the only ones impressed with the US neighbors to the north as another study emerged last week with Canada on top.
Last week marked an important milestone in the development of the 1 Million Cups program. For the last year, each city's weekly 1 Million Cups event has been run by our community organizers, a team of volunteer entrepreneurs. That's right people,VOLUNTEERS! Our community organizers are some of the most talented, creative, genuine, and collaborative entrepreneurs on the planet. In addition to being the thought leaders in grassroots entrepreneurship in their communities, they hold down day jobs working with or running startups. With all that brainpower at our disposal, we knew we had to get all of our community organizers together in Kansas City to plan for the future of 1 Million Cups as it continues to grow.

The single-lever-shifting design allows for faster, smoother shifts while being completely independent of the brake levers, eradicating the possibility of braking when you shift. Plus, thanks to their carbon and magnesium construction, these levers won't slow you down.

Rated 3.6 out of 5Â by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Fynola Love it! XS would fit most. I love the weight of the material -- because of the slight weight to it, it hangs big in a way that looks right as opposed to it looking like you got a shirt 3 sizes too big. So, get the xs and enjoy a super comfy shirt that is also stylish. I gave it 5 stars because although it is not the most beautiful thing in my closet, it is excellent for exactly what it is. You need basics as much as you need those pain-in-the-butt-must-hand-wash-only garments! And regarding the other reviews: because I have an xs, the shirt does not come down to my knees (I'm 5'4") nor does my bra show when I lift my arms. The arm holes are big but that doesn't happen for me. I really like this shirt! 12.12.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Scooby Runs large but it's cute Size down like everyone says. I got this shirt because it's relaxed fit. I want something comfortable and that will go well with leggings. The material isn't flimsy which is a plus and I liked the Black/Grey color combo. I'm 5" 4' and the length is fine. 12.20.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dallasdiva 1 Problem The vertical stripes in the back are awful and wildly unflattering. I ordered from the catalog and didn't get to see the online pics to know about the back or I wouldn't have ordered. To be fair, I think the stripes look bad in the studio shots, and what I got isn't different from the studio shots. If you like what you see, then you'll be happy with what you get. A note on sizing: I ordered a size up to get a baggy sizing. If I kept this, I'd return it for two sizes smaller... ie a size down from my usual size to get a fit like the model. This thing is huge. FP should really start telling us what size the model normally wears, and what size she's wearing in the shot. EVERYONE else in the clothing industry does this. 10.7.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by samnjustin comfy and cute I sized down to an xs from my usual small. This shirt is still very roomy, but it's cute. Worth the sale price! 6.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by felicia2106 good shirt! Got this shirt and it does run very large.. i got an xs and wish there was an xxs. but it will do. i love the length it falls to bc i can wear with with leggings and it looks fine. i did however, cut the sleeves so that they fall to the original length because i wasn't really feeling the rolled up look.. i'm not so sure if i like it better now.. but there is nothing i can do about it! it will have to do.. it still a perfect go-to spring basic. 3.31.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by patibob HUGE, I second that! I am 5'6" and I ordered a medium waaay too big. I didn't care for the fit at all even if I were to reorder in a smaller size which would have been an XS that's how big it was. Didn't like the arm holes the minute you lift your arm your bra shows unless you were to wear another shirt underneath.....no thanks, not as cute as it looks in the picture. One last thing the med. size came down just above my knee....it was more like a tunic. 10.18.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Rawrosaur Huge I bought this in a small, (I'm 5'6'', 120lbs, small bust) which is what I normally have to order from FP because all their stuff seems to be made a bit large (normally a medium with most other places I shop). Anyway, this was enormous on me. I realize it's supposed to be baggy but when a small fits like an XL normally would on me, it seems a little ridiculous. Will be ordering an XS. However, I will give it 3 stars for being super comfortable. 10.14.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Mikalah Great basic I believe this is the same cut as the Keep Me Tee, as it's very loose and airy, but the fabric has a little weight to it. It's a great, edgy basic, but definitely very over-sized. I normally go for a size S (5' 110lb), and I stuck to that with this top and it's maybe two sizes bigger. I wanted to keep the roominess so I kept the size. The slits on the side let you tie it up at a corner should you wish, or it has a little bit of a hi-low hem if you leave it draped. It's really just a basic tee, and the black is a great selection for fall. It's comfortable, and something you can throw on last-minute and still look great. 10.5.2012

I think the most important point about this though is that it's the choice of the individual.
Why shouldn't people have the right to decide when they want to go?

He woke up 5 days later having been in a coma and doing further damage to his innards in addition to the pain/distress he was in with his MS.
It's for people like that, who pro-actively and seriously seek death (not impulse/'cry for help' cases like TB) with or without a terminal condition who will most benefit from legislation to allow 'elective' death, as it will offer them a socially sustainable avenue to ending their lives in a less distressing and uncivilised manner which is the mark of genuine suicides in most cultures at present, where it's still mostly stigmatised in some manner for whatever reason.

Hi there,
My current Microsoft Sidewinder X8 is on it's way out from old age and I'm looking at replacing it, ideally something wireless, big and chunky (My hands are big and chunky for strangling Badgers). Also some buttons for changing buttons for the sensitivity on the fly would be very handy (My sidewinder has 3 setting buttons on top)
gaming + wireless mouse is a bad idea. I'd just find a good solid mouse

While the British and Ecuadorian governments continue to maneuver around each other over how to deal with Julian Assange—with each detail breathlessly described by journalists all over the world—one question continues to haunt me: Would any of this be happening if Assange faced charges of any violent crime other than rape? Would Ecuador be offering him asylum if the Swedish government sought Assange for allegedly stabbing two men? Would so many liberal pundits be rushing to defend Assange if he were accused of getting drunk and running someone over with his car? Despite the deep abhorrence of rape all participants in this dispute claim to have, it doesn't seem likely that they'd be defending Assange were he wanted for another violent crime.
Currently, Assange—the founder of open-information website WikiLeaks, which riled the U.S. by releasing thousands of confidential diplomatic cables last year—is holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy, where he is seeking to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces questioning on sexual-assault allegations. Despite claims that the site endangers national security, many see WikiLeaks as a necessary check on government power and champion of transparency. But the organization's aspirations have been called into question by the conduct of its founder.
Even Assange defenders who claim they want Assange to face his accusers seem to be directing anger at everyone but the person who likely bears the most responsibility for the current situation. They're mad at Sweden for not brokering a deal that would shield Assange from extradition to the U.S. They're mad at the U.S. for hanging on to the option of prosecuting Assange for WikiLeaks-related crimes. They're mad at the British government for threatening to arrest Assange. But they don't seem to hold Assange responsible for creating this situation in the first place.
If the accusers in the Assange case are telling the truth—and so far, there's no evidence that they're lying—supporters of WikiLeaks should be furious at Julian Assange. He put the whole WikiLeaks operation at risk in order to sexually dominate women. Even if he didn't rape the accusers, Assange's reaction to the accusations has demonstrated a strong disdain for the notion that women have a right to bodily autonomy. He accused Sweden of being the "Saudi Arabia of feminism" for no other reason than its willingness to take seriously a woman's claim that she was penetrated against her will. He trotted out the idea that a woman's clothing choices and flirtatious behavior matter more than her consent. He's admitted that he's a "chauvinist pig" while reiterating the assertion that the only way you could read the accusations as rape is if your view is "distorted." He doesn't seem to give a whiff if he comes across as a dangerous sexual predator.
That liberals have not erupted in rage against Assange suggests that we haven't abandoned the belief that rape, especially acquaintance rape, doesn't count as a violent crime. It also suggests liberals still don't quite see misogyny as a serious problem so much as an unfortunate character flaw that can be overlooked if someone is designated a "Great Man."
There's an important lesson in all this. The inability of Assange's supporters to see him in the same way they'd view anyone else suspected of a violent crime evinces a broader problem. We give in to the temptation—which I admit I've succumbed to plenty of times—to overlook the lecherous behavior some men display because they otherwise have exemplary politics. But in doing so, we create more problems than we solve. Creeps and chauvinist pigs make women feel unwelcome, which should be reason enough. But even more than that, we have to accept that our community, like any other, has undetected rapists moving about, looking for opportunities. If we don't cultivate a culture where women's need for safety is prioritized, rapists will feel more free to attack, and victims less secure in stepping forward.
If sexual predators are in leadership positions, they not only threaten women's safety, as the Assange case has demonstrated, but could end up destroying everything that activists strive for. As painful as it may be, keeping up your activist community's reputation as a sexual-harassment-free and rape-free zone matters. Look at how hard it's been for Occupy Wall Street to shake the image of being an unsafe space after a handful of sexual assaults. The success they have had in doing so has been the result of immediately taking the situation seriously.
The best way to shut out men who threaten a movement's good name with sexually predatory behavior is to take sexual assault seriously as a violent crime. A good place to start would be in taking some of the anger brewing around the Assange case and aiming it directly at Assange. Even if he didn't rape those women, he has acted like a grade-A creep who doesn't believe that women deserve to feel safe. He is not a sympathetic character, and his pompous sexism adds to the image of WikiLeaks as an organization of lawless types who don't care who they hurt as they pursue their goals. If the world could look at this situation and see that WikiLeaks supporters are furious at Assange for screwing everything up, that would go a long way toward salvaging the reputation of the entire operation.

... pretty appalling journalism, sorry. Perhaps it's time to dust off Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird' ... you know, where the rabble take over and want to kill an innocent black man. Trial by media is bad enough but when the 'facts' are manipulated every which way it makes me want to cry. I'm keeping an open mind; it's the least I can do for all concerned.

"If the accusers in the Assange case are telling the truth—and so far, there's no evidence that they're lying—supporters of WikiLeaks should be furious at Julian Assange"
Ahem. The condom in question was handed in to police by Anne Ardin on 25 August 2010 (12 days after the event to which it relates) as evidence of her claims that Assange "did something" to deliberately tear it halfway through sex. The condom was sent by police to the SKL (Sweden's National Forensic lab) the same day. The first set of results could find no chromosonal DNA - male or female - on it at all, although it did have a tear in it and look 'used' (there are pictures, if you really must...). The lab did find a tiny speck of 'something' on it so the police requested a second test. Apparently this tiny speck did contain mitochondrial DNA but bear in mind two things: 1) Mitochondrial DNA, if there is no chromosonal DNA present, can ONLY come from hair or nails, 2) any condom used for sex should be awash with chromosonal DNA from both parties. I will forego saying what I personally think this lab result does to the credibility of Anne Ardin's allegations and instead restrict myself to what it does to the credibility of the Swedish prosecutor's action. The 2nd set of results arrived back from the lab on 25 October 2010, at least three weeks before the Swedish prosecutor described the 'deliberate tearing' of this condom on the EAW extradition warrant (18 November) as the offence of "sexual molestation".
As regards one of Anne Ardin's other allegations - the 'forced pinning down' to stop her from reaching a condom as she twisted her legs sideways to prevent penetration - described on the EAW extradition warrant as sexual assault and coersion, what seems to have been overlooked is that the very next sentence of her witness statement describes Assange asking what on Earth she was doing. She explained for the first time that she wanted him to use a condom. He let go. She fetched one. He put it on and they resumed.
The second woman's witness statement describes being "half asleep", which the prosecutor has bumped up to "fully asleep" on the extradition warrant.
Stop trying to make the stories of two individual women stand in for ALL women's experiences of sexual violence. Stop believing that because women routinely experience sexual violence all over the world and are generally poorly served by the courts in getting justice that individual women can NEVER be being untruthful if they make such claims. I am a woman. I was raped. I went to the police although the case never reached the courts. But I never lied about my experience and I didn't hand in any false evidence.
Turn your anger onto the Swedish prosecutor who has abused due legal process in this case and has lied to and misled the UK courts. She should be investigated because she has done a great disservice to ALL true victims of rape.

Thank you Arbed for all of this information. I knew the case, but didn't know specifics as you do. I was also raped, however, I can see through the falsity of the charges against Assange.
When Paul Craig Roberts suggested that feminists were up-in-arms because Assange wasn't taken in for questioning, I commented that such stereotyping was unfair, and then I stated my opposition to extraditing Assange. Roberts must have read this article before making the comment.
Fri, 2012-10-26 15:21
Dear Arbed,
I am sorry about what happened to you. I hope you are keeping well now. Your reply seems factual and straight from the heart. I am really impressed by your research and command on this subject. You have really hit the nail with your reply.
Many thanks again,

Being a self-declared feminist doesn't give you special license to play judge/jury/executioner.
Your article goes way beyond the reasonable position of wanting to see the charges addressed. Instead, you attack a strangers character by calling him a creep and shamelessly declare him guilty.
The previous commentator is correct. Your behaviour resembles that of a southern white supremacist, for whom the word of a white woman was enough to ruin (and take) lives.
Personally, I think you're no better than American reporters who attacked alleged WikiLeaker Bradley Manning - by describing him as a "lonely creepy homosexual".
This is why we have inconvenient things like process, trials, and presumption of innocence. Though you've clearly reached a verdict, the Assange case is still stuck in process.
Ecuador has made clear that it wants Assange to face an investigation for the allegations of sexual misconduct, but there must be guarantees that this is not a backdoor way of shipping him off to America to face espionage charges.
And, please, spare us your disingenuous concern for Wikileaks & transparency. Where was your concern when Bradley Manning was condemned to a military kangaroo court & solitary confinement?
Thu, 2012-08-30 23:36
This is very disappointing. The Propect just got a large "donation"? Or something? Because Assange hasn't been charged with rape. He hasn't been charged with anything, yet. The Swedes claim they want him for questioning prior to deciding whether to charge him with something or not. Granted, it's understandable the Swedes don't want to give a blanket guarantee they wouldn't extradite him to the U.S. Just suppose the U.S. government had a Grand Jury indict him for third degree mopery (or maybe they already have but are keeping the indictment secret, which they do all the time except for Anwar al-Awlaki whom they never bothered to indict). In that case, how could the Swedes refuse? But the final decision is up to the government, not the courts and the appropriate government official could announce that he would regard charges of espionage against Assange a political persecution and that he would not extradite him under those circumstances, even if the courts found no legal impediment. Meanwhile, I would think the British government should take steps to prevent any of its citizens being close to Assange. I don't know what the lethal radius of a Hellfire missile is, but a had grenade is 25 yards, so no one should get any closer to him than that -- hey, what's that buzzing sound in the sky?

As a constitutional lawyer specializing in criminal procedure, I have no interest in addressing the issues of feminism this column raises, despite my general ideological orientation in favor of women's rights and in favor of punishment of sexual violence.
Nevertheless, I find it appalling that the author refuses to acknowledge the fact that, whatever the merits of the Swedish charges, a larger issue exists: namely, the fact of a possible extradition and potential death penalty sentence in the United States of America. It is ably pointed out by other comments that the U.S. is capable of atrocities against even its own citizens accused of such capital offenses as Assange's. See Bradley Manning, held naked in a 6'x12' windowless cell for two years for allegedly taking part in the Wikileaks leak.
Perhaps the author, Amanda Marcotte, believes that any man accused of sexual violence deserves such treatment, and, eventually the death penalty; if so, she does her argument a disservice. She has convinced me more than ever that Julian Assange needs to be kept out of British, and Swedish hands.

Long time reader, first time commenter.
I feel this is the single worst piece of journalism I've ever read on The Prospect. Arbed's comment above outlines the missing detail resulting in misleading conclusions for the accusations levelled at Mr Assange.
Dexter's comment above outlines the absence of international context for the motive for the behaviour of the prosecutor.
This is substantively lack-lustre journalism and is beneath you Ms Marcott, and beneath the (otherwise very rigorous) entity you write for. This is a sad day for the Prospect, here's hoping you all learn from this experience.
Wed, 2012-10-17 18:40
Excellent article. Whilst it is extremely difficult to prove rape, particularly acquaintance rape, the media support Julian has received has set women's rights back decades. No is always No. If a woman says no sex without a condom, and the man has sex with her in sleep without a condom, then that is rape.

THE LEADER went to press Tuesday evening, October 23, it was learned that the NassauCounty Planning Board had disapproved an application for a change of zoning of the property presently occupied by the Freeport Elks. The Merrick Road site has been bought by Morris Sussman and George Bellcsls. Their application to change the zoning from Business AA to Business B had come before the. Village of Frecport's Planning Board and had, in turn, been presented to Nassau County. . The County Planning Board disapproved of the application calling It '•spot zonjhg." Accord- • log to Mr. Lister of the Planning Board, under, the 235 L&M law, .•which deals with zoning questions, if the County Planning Board disapproves a change of zoning for property within 500 feet of a county liighway or facility, the villagers board could only pass it wilh"a"volFbf a iiiajut-ity plus one, i.e. four votes on the Board of Trustees would be needed, Merrick Road is a county highway. The County decision pointed out that the surrounding and contingent areas to the plot were zoned cither Business AA, the most restrictive business zoning in the village, or for apartment houses. The proposal brought before the village's Planning Board showed plans for the building of a McDonald'^ fast-food Operation, a two-sltffy.bank. shops and a mini-duplet movie theatre, as well as.137parking spaces.

Panasonic has announced a 4K-native Blu-ray player at CES 2015 in anticipation of the forthcoming UHD standard.
At CES 2015, Panasonic announces a new Blu-ray player that plays native 4K and high dynamic range content.
The Samsung BD-H6500 is simply the quickest Blu-ray player we've seen which means the speediest access to your movies and Netflix.
The Sony BDP-S3200 will play your Blu-rays just fine but it's not quite as up-to-date as competitors especially when it comes to streaming media.
Learn about CNET's testing procedures for Blu-ray players.
This may well be the last Blu-ray player you ever need -- or want.
For the price, they don't come much better than the Samsung BD-F5900.
The disc-based movie's days may be numbered, but Blu-ray is still the best way to enjoy pristine audio and video. Plus: two bonus deals!
Oppo's new player not only sounds great; for some buyers it eliminates the need for an AV receiver.
The Editors' Choice-winning Panasonic DMP-BDT220 is available for just $75 at Amazon for a limited time.
