|The Phillies honor the tragic passing of Andy Reid's son, Garrett. (AP)
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- It is not up to Andy Reid to decide what to do next. It's is up to his players ... and I think we all know what happens.
They will rally behind him as the New England Patriots last summer rallied behind owner Robert Kraft following the death of Kraft's wife, Myra -- and they won't do it out of a sense of obligation because the New England Patriots didn't. They will do it because they care for their head coach as much as he cares for them.
And now, more than ever, they must demonstrate it.
|More on Reid, Eagles
|Related links
A year ago, players responded when Reid's future was in jeopardy -- or after angry Eagles' fans chanted "Fire Andy" during the third quarter of a humiliating loss to New England and after the Eagles followed that defeat with a listless performance in Seattle.
Reid's tenure in Philadelphia appeared over then. Only it wasn't, and it wasn't because his players came to the rescue -- winning the next four games to save his job.
"We love to go to bat for coach Reid," said wide receiver DeSean Jackson. "Last year we heard everybody booing him and things like that. So, as a team, we came together. It was like: This is our coach; this is who represents us. We just had to forget what everybody was saying and jell together as one. So we put ourselves on the line for coach Reid, and that's why we played the way we played toward the end of the year."
They closed the season on a roll, finishing a game out of first in the NFC East, destroying their final four opponents by an average margin of 19.7 points and keeping Reid in business for another year. But that was then, and this is now, and now Andy Reid needs more than victories from his players. He needs the compassion, understanding and support he routinely gives them.
Jackson earlier this year called Reid "a father-like figure," and it's time for Reid's second family to come to his side. I can't imagine the pain and suffering Reid and his family must be experiencing now, just as I couldn't imagine the pain and suffering then-Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy experienced in 2005 when his 18-year-old son died.
But Dungy pulled through, not only coaching the rest of that season but three more after that, and it was friends, family and faith that pulled him through. Reid will need all of that to overcome the loss of his son, Garrett.
Parents aren't supposed to bury their children, and there is no one who can prepare Reid and his family for the despair they're feeling. But there are persons -- and a lot of them -- in Philadelphia who can help the Eagles' head coach try to move forward from this tragedy and cope with the loss. I'm talking about his players, and as they rushed to support him a year ago they must rush to support him again.
I don't mean winning the NFC East or making it to the Super Bowl. I mean giving Reid what he needs most -- which is reassurance that they will be there when and if he needs their help. Heck, he was there when convicted felon Michael Vick needed someone to give him a job, and don't tell me that Reid's experience having two sons arrested wasn't a factor there.
Because it was.
Reid believes in second chances, and he believed in giving one to Vick -- and it's no coincidence that when the Eagles ran the table at the end of 2011 it was with Vick coming back from an injury that sidelined him three games before.
"As much as I hate to say it," Vick said, "that was the catalyst for guys pulling together. I know I pulled myself together. I got shot up, and I played hurt. And I came back with a totally different focus because I have unconditional love and respect for my coach."
Good. Because that's what he needs now.
When I sat down with Reid last week to ask him about his tenure in Philadelphia -- a career that enters its 14th season -- I wondered how he defied the odds and lasted so long. More specifically, I wondered how he defied Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh's advice, with Walsh once saying that no head coach should stay in the same place longer than 10 years.
"I'm lucky to be surrounded by good people," Reid said last week. "Honestly, I look forward to coming to work every day. I love it. I get fired up. But I think I'll know. When I can't get out of that beach chair then I'll know it's over."
We laughed then. Nobody laughs anymore. Those "good people" who surround Andy Reid need to surround him now because, as difficult as it will be, he must look forward again.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 22, 2010Reviewer: Fives in IllinoisI'm sorry but the peanut butter flavor is just plain nasty. I have not been able to find a way to use it without detecting a horrific chemical aftertaste, and the supposed peanut flavor doesn't measure up. Da Vinci should have left this one in the lab.
I've tried it in tea, smoothies, oatmeal, etc.This review is specific to Sugar Free Syrup, Peanut Butter

January 19, 2014Reviewer: Antoniea in North CarolinaI really wanted to like this syrup because I love, love, love marshmallows but I just could not get behind it. Most of the syrup went down the sink. I hate wasting it but I couldn't even give the stuff away. Even though the flavor is toasted marshmallow it tasted like coconut. There was a mild flavor of toasted marshmallow but the coconut flavor just kind of smacked you in the face.This review is specific to Sugar Free Syrup, Toasted Marshmallow
February 04, 2012Reviewer: BILLY in AlabamaI normally find product reviews quite reliable, especially when the quantity of the DaVinci products but cannot understand their consistently high ratings. I ordered three syrups and tried two (raspberry and pancake) and find them almost unusable. They should be labeled flavored water instead of syrup and neither had a taste of syrup. My Kroger brand LC syrup, which only reaches a "good" level is far superior to these. Both immediately made my waffles a soggy mess. I only give them two stars because of the outstanding service of Netrition and the fact they have quite attractive packaging. If this had only been the only items in my order they would have been one star.
I have not opened the chocolate syrup (or water).This review is specific to Sugar Free Syrup, Raspberry (plastic)

Fire demolishes Regent Street business
A fire which occurred around 22:00 hrs yesterday gutted a Regent Street business establishment and scorched the two building to its sides.
The name of the establishment is unknown but was housed in the building once occupied, but still owned by Full Works Motor Spares and Auto Sales which, sits on the northern side of Regent Street, three lots off Oronoque Street. Reports say that Chinese nationals began renting the building about two months ago, and were using it to sell a variety of clothing supplies.
A woman who was trapped in the building behind the burnt structure suffered minor injuries as firefighters fought to rescue her. No one else was injured.
There is no word yet on what caused the fire.

I actually thought this had a lot of flavor. I immediately thought about how good this would be on a tortilla. It is the green chile sauce that makes it.
Pretty Yummy! On the new favorite lis
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have tried most of the Mountain House flavors, and this one is a new favorite. It really takes more like chicken tortilla soup and has quite a bit of flavor! Great with a bit of hot sauce and filling. This was great after backpacking in the rain.
I liked this more than other flavors
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Simple flavor. It's not incredibly impressive but it's good trail food.
Mountain House rocks
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I spoke with a Mountain House rep a couple years ago. I work in Law Enforcement and was the Emergency Operations coordinator for my agency as well as a camper/hiker. Mountain House expressed interest in focusing on taste, and nutrition without sacrificing longevity. I said a lot health conscious high energy users need 2+ servings and low-moderate sodium is important for many of us. The MH rep demonstrated that many of their meals now meet that requirement. MH is now my first choice. If they went to free range meats they'd be PERFECT. Happy, healthy and safe travels people.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Its called chicken and white bean chili. After adding water it smelled like taco pizza. Upon a taste, I think its more like a chicken tortilla soup. But who cares, really. Any of those sound great, right? Its excellent and flavorful. Hot sauce advised.
Thanks for the tip Michael!
Buying powdered food is hard, I'll add this one to my list for backpacking in Canada! Thanks for the recco!
Six stars. The best of their meals!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm a backcountry guide in Yosemite, and I do a lot of personal backpacking and climbing trips. Sadly, I eat a lot of these meals. I'm incredibly familiar with almost all of them.
This is easily my favorite of all their meals. I was surprised because the name makes it sound downright bland. Moderately spicy, full of flavor, but not overly seasoned. Chunks of chicken and the beans are great. If you eat a lot of dehydrated meals... do not miss this one!
PS. Its a little complex and heavy for high altitude. Above 11,000 or 12,000 feet this meal can sit in your gut for a while.
PPS. Dear Mountain House, please never stop making this one.

Rear Brake Life?
Just found out that our 2011 JGC with 54K miles needs rear brakes. Had a slight but mostly inaudible squeak that ended up being from the wear indicators scoring the rotors. :(
Front brakes are still fine.
Sure that real-life brake wear is all over the place but would this be a reasonable amount of mileage to get out of the rears? Also would we have saved a lot if we had somehow caught the wear in time or is replacing the rotors typical for most brake jobs nowadays? A bit frustrated as well because the dealer claims to do a complete check at each oil change and we had no indication of a problem 6K miles ago.
Also wondering if it's common for these vehicles to wear out rears before fronts. Had a similar situation with my other daily driver, a Volvo S40, rears lasted about 55K miles and the fronts are still OK at 70K (although I do have rotor issues on the fronts).
Re: Rear Brake Life?
My understanding is that the traction control operates on the rear axle and therefore wears these out sooner than the front, which does most of the braking.
I have 55k miles on my '10 and plenty of life left, I'm told. Estimate is ~70k. This pisses me off because I can't wait to trade out the wobbly OEM rotors, but I am too cheap to do it before the need.
If my rears were done but my fronts had some life, I would swap out the pads and turn the rotors, buying a little time until I swapped in R1 or EBC rotors on all four.
Thanks for the heads up on the wear indicator, I'll check more often.
Re: Rear Brake Life?
Re: Rear Brake Life?
Most Jeep owners complain about rear pads wear. Liberties last maybe 35,000 miles. ESC and BTC contribute, but it is what it is. Those of us with QD see much less rear pad wear, which suggest the rear BCT is taking its toll.
Re: Rear Brake Life?
50,000 miles sounds like a good time to check the e-brakes and lube the adjusters as well as clean up things for the next time they're used. Otherwise, the e-brakes will freeze tight when used and won't release. I'll have mine done at 52,000 for piece of mind.

The staff at the DoubleTree Westminster is great. So polite and attentive. The hotel is very clean. It's quiet and the rooms are positively palatial for London. The location is lovely.
So why two stars? The food. The food is so bad that it puts the whole hotel on my "never, ever stay here again" list. Before you think I'm crazy, hear me out. Yes, it's London and there are plenty of great...more
Great location in quiet area - excellent big breakfast too!
This hotel is located about 4 blocks from the Pimlico tube station on the Victoria Line in a quiet residential area.

This was a pretty decent hotel. The price was expensive, but its London. The hotel was clean and service was pretty good. The room was pretty small. I got a room with two twin beds as I was staying with a colleague. I thought it quite strange that the two twin beds were right together. Fortunately they easily rolled some apart, but each day housecleaning put them back together. Generally two...more

Police: Robbery of Vt. couple was set upOctober 17,2013
The Associated Press
THETFORD - Vermont State Police say a couple robbed at gunpoint in an acquaintance's driveway had been lured there.
Police said Caitlyn and Chris Burnham of Bradford were visiting with McKayla Jordan in Thetford. The three were in the Burnhams' car when two masked men came out of the woods and pointed a handgun at Chris Burnham. They left with his wallet and about $1,000.
The Burnhams told police that despite the masks, they were able to identify both men.
Police later arrested 28-year-old Buddy Covey of Bradford and 42-year-old Jamie Lussier of Croydon, N.H., on charges of assault and robbery. They were being arraigned Thursday.
They said the 24-year-old Jordan will appear in court at a later date.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...

PopCap Lays Off Staff Following Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare Launch
Written Friday, March 14, 2014 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
A number of redundancies have been announced at PopCap.
In a statement, PopCap general manager John Vechey said, "The changes we made today at PopCap were painful and we're sorry to lose some of our friends and colleagues.
"But it was also necessary in order to stay on course with our future plans for mobile games, live services, and new IP.
"PopCap is a studio that made its name building great games that the world can fall in love with, and that's what we'll continue to do."
While PopCap itself has not confirmed the number of employees made redundant, a Kotaku report claims that between 30 and 40 staff have been let go.
PopCap's most recently released game was Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare.

I've been reading this book lately (google it and you can get a pdf for free). It's basically a critique of feminism written in the 70's by a woman. It's main thesis is that women are the ones responsible for perpetuating the stereotypes of women as weak, good-for-nothing housewives which they used to swindle men with. Amongst some of the more dated views about females which maybe don't apply as much, the hyperbole and generalizations there are some profound insights in it.
If you read the reviews on amazon there are men who have read it and said it changed them. Drastically. I can see why. I've seen the same sentiment expressed on forums about the book.
Although I haven't really accepted a lot of the ideas in there (probably because of a lack of understanding more than anything) there are a few ideas in there that have kind of hit me like a freight train once I let them stew in my brain over the space of a few days.
The main one being that women basically don't like men.
They don't care what they think of them, they don't like them physically and they are emotionless towards them. The reasons they get excited about a 'good looking' guy are not the same reasons men get excited about a hot girl (the desire to shag them). The reason they get turned on by a 'hot' guy, so the author contends is because it provides them an opportunity to make other women jealous. They don't care what guys think but they care deeply what other women think.
At first I thought that might be a tad cynical but then I just imagined a women eying up a guy and being consumed with thinking about how she would look in front of her friends with her on his arm. It seemed pretty hard to dismiss as mere cynicism when I thought about that.
Another reason the author says women like a guy with a 'good body' is because it says to them that he'd make a good workhorse (he can lift stuff for me around the house and if my safety is threatened by another male he could probably win in a fight).
Again, I thought this was mere cynicism but I fear the authors views are correct and most women are simply venal and heartless users who see men as nothing more than a utility to make their lives easier or an accessory to make other women envious. She makes a really good case for women being quite horrible creatures who manipulate men through a combination of sex and feigned emotion.
When I think about to some of the women I've been with I can definitely see some of these qualities in them and others mentioned in the book such as the sense of entitlement women have. Some examples include a girl telling me the guy 'should pay for everything', excepting to be picked up and carted around and be given little jobs to do (which I did because I was 'in love' with her), her crying before announcing something quite serious she assumed I'd be very angry at (I wasn't anyway though but now wonder if the waterworks were just an attempt to garner sympathy for the anger she was expecting, not because she was scared of me breaking up with her over it).
I now have the uncomfortable suspicion that this and other displays of emotion from her were totally fake and used purely for manipulative purposes.
How do you tell if it's real or not? How? Are we total fools who have just been played our whole lives? I know what you are thinking- that women are the more sensitive types and more emotional etc and could never use men like that- only men do such things. I believe this could be part of the propaganda. Just think back to some of the relationships you've had- did she trivialize your relationship in anyway? (cheating, hooking up with someone soon after, going out and having fun after telling you how cut up she was over it) did she expect you to do things all the time? did she take advantage of your kindness and let you spend money on her?
Men simply are not users of women like women are of men. It's bull**** when you think about it. A man might shag a bird and string her along so he can keep bonking her but would he allow her to pay for everything? to drive him places? to buy him nice clothes? you NEVER see that ****!
Tell me I'm wrong. Please. Because if I'm not then women are just more nasty then any of us could have imagined and they should definitely not be entertained beyond sex or friendship. That would be a very sad thing to realize.
I've also thought about the look on woman's face when she gets married. Am I wrong or is the same look on a marathon runners face when he wins at the olympics? I think it is, and it's very telling.

Whycocomagh Gathering
|Sunday October 11th 7:30 PM
|Whycocomagh Education Centre, Whycocomagh
|$30/25 Reserved Seating
What an incredible gathering in Whycocomagh tonight! The String Sisters, with their full band making the group ten in all, have been on our wish list at Celtic Colours for many years so we're delighted that they are finally here. And this will be our first chance to see a solo set by amazing hardanger fiddle player Annbjørg Lien from Norway. Siblings Troy, Kendra and Sabra MacGillivray will be here with fiddles, piano, bodhran and dancing. They're all celebrating tonight because it happens to be Kendra's birthday and the three don't get together as often as they'd like. The String Sisters and the MacGillivrays have met earlier in the festival and we're curious to see what tunes they may have picked up from each other. The incomparable Buddy MacDonald wouldn't miss this gathering with his old pals the MacGillivrays. But don't worry, we'll get him back to the Festival Club in time for the late night fun.
Hosted by Whycocomagh Volunteer Fire Department

It never ends.
Yeah Hamas will not get any of this money. :abuseme:
I think we should cut off all money, present and future, to Palestine, Israel, Iraq or Afghan (except for our soldiers there), Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
We should not be sending money to those areas when we have so many problems in our own country.
Screw those countries and giving them money.
Charity begins at home. No money for any other country.
I might get a ninja suit and do a happy dance with you for that.
I'm guessing that ninja suit would be made in China. Hard to get a made-in-America ninja suit.
wouldnt it be a Japanese made one?
and Isolationism!!!
Actually, it's a little known fact that ninjas originated in Spain. Look it up.
you know what mason...
uh mason, you're supposed to say, "what?"
Ooops, haha.
No no no it's ruined now. You ruined any chance of it working by waiting so long.
I think we are going to have to send you back to the minor leagues because you are slacking here recently. :
so frustrating
I pretty much suggested the same thing a few weeks ago and was hammered for the thought.
You forget that Israel is more important than us.
How dare they think about forging connections with the Muslim world?
It is almost like this administration has one of those "forward thinking agendas" or something.
Go figure.

Ugli fruit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ugli is a type of Destin. It is related to the Jackson family. It started to grow quickly all across Jamaica over 69 years ago and was quickly discovered by the Swegmen there. It became popularly known, but it did not have a name. The natives on Jamaica named it the Ugli fruit because of its ugly appearance. It was shipped to the United States and South America on cargo ships and after it arrived in the Americas, its popularity only grew. The original fruit is believed to have been a hybrid formed from the Seville orange, the grapefruit, and the tangerine families.

This application is a U.S. National Stage application of co-pending PCT Application Number PCT/EP2004/007196, entitled "Athletics Shoe" and filed Jun. 30, 2004, which claims priority to Great Britain Patent Application Number GB0315277.4, entitled "Athletics Shoe" and filed Jul. 1, 2003. These applications are incorporated herein by reference in there entireties.
The invention relates to footwear and, more particularly, to athletics footwear for track events.
Current sports shoes for athletes have a plastic sole and textile upper. Such shoes are manufactured to be as light as possible in order to improve the performance of the athletes, particularly over short distances, e.g. 100 m or 200 m.
One example of a sports shoe is known from European Patent Application No. EP-A-0 799 583 (Technica S.p.A). The shoes described in this patent have a sole made from a resilient material such as rubber with a strengthening insert. This shoe is not suitable for short distance track events because of its weight.
A variety of athletics shoes are produced by several manufacturers. The Saucony middle distance race shoe has a very light-weight fabric to keep the total weight of the shoe as low as possible. An Asics sprinting spike shoe uses a rubber grip on the sole of the shoe from the footplate backwards.
Sandals are also known in the art which can be used for trail running and hiking. These sandals, such as those manufactured by the Teva Company, Flagstaff, Ariz., United States, have an open structure with straps to hold the sandals on the foot. The sandals have a substantially flat sole with an open toe, arch and heel areas. Whilst such sandals, such as the Wraptor 2 model, may be suitable for long-distance trail running their heavy weight makes them unsuitable for use by track athletes.
Cycling shoes are known in the art which are designed to be as light as possible and also to allow as much transmission of the athlete's muscular power to the cycle. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,836,094 (Figel) teaches a cycling shoe in which a composite made of fibre and resin replaces the sole and part of the upper of a traditional shoe. In this patent, the complete sole of the shoe is made from the composite. Manufacture of the composite is from carbon fibre, Kevlar fibres and epoxy resin which are built up using layers of carbon fibre sheets and Kevlar layers.
Another cycling shoe is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,406,723 (Okajima, assigned to Shimano, Inc., Osaka, Japan). This patent describes a sole of a shoe with a fibrous layer surrounding a core made of polyurethane foam. A glass cloth is applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the core to form a layer. A carbon fibre sheet impregnated with phenol resin is then placed over the glass cloth followed by an impregnated glass cloth. This process is completed until a stiff sole is manufactured.
Cycling shoes are, however, not suitable for use by track athletes because they have a stiff sole which is substantially inflexible. Track athletes require a shoe which is flexible in order to maximise their performance, particularly at the starting blocks.
There is therefore a need to produce an improved shoe, particularly for use in short distance track events.
There is furthermore a need to reduce the weight of the shoe.
There is in addition a need to design a shoe for the maximum transmission of a track athlete's power to the track, particularly at the starting blocks.
These and other objects are achieved by providing a sole for footwear having a toe part, a ball part and an instep-heel part. The toe part of the sole is the area of the sole substantially adjacent to the athlete's foot. The ball part of the sole is the area of the footwear substantially adjacent to the ball of the athlete's foot. The instep-ball part of the sole is the remainder of the area of the sole and covers the arch or instep and ball parts of the athlete's foot. In the inventive sole, both the toe part and the instep-heel part of the sole are made of a substantially inflexible material. This material remains stiff whilst the athlete is running. On the other hand, the ball part of the sole is made of a flexible material which can bend when the athlete is at the starting blocks and during the race. This flexible material allows the athlete to flex the shoe at the natural position of flex of the foot (i.e. at the ball of the foot) and thus achieve maximum transfer of power at the start and during the race.
The substantially inflexible material is preferably a composite material of carbon fibre in a thermoplastic resin. This material is very strong and lightweight. The flexible material is preferably a composite material of carbon fibre in a thermoplastic resin. This material is also strong and lightweight, and furthermore resilient.
The shoe according to the invention has a substantially better strength to weight ratio compared to shoes made with conventional textile fabric. Furthermore stretching or movement of material is substantially elminated due to the non-elongation properties of the composite materials.
The objects of the invention are additionally solved by providing an article of footwear comprising a sole, an open toe section, an instep section having two instep side supports, the instep side supports being connected to the instep part of the sole and otherwise being open, and a heel section. This construction uses a minimum of material to maintain the stability of the athlete's foot.
Alternatively and additionally the objects of the invention are also solved by an article of footwear comprising a sole, an open toe section, an instep section, and a heel section. The heel section comprises two heel side supports and an end heel support, and the two heel side supports and the end heel support are connected at a first end to the heel part of the sole and are connected to each other at the other end.
To improve the stability of the footwear, the article of footwear has two instep side supports being connected to the instep part of the sole and otherwise being open. In this context "being open" means that the upper ends of the instep side supports are not connected together as they would be in conventional prior art footwear.
To hold the article of footwear onto the athlete's foot, the article of footwear further includes an upper instep section which is preferably attached to the instep side supports by means of adjustable ties.
The article of footwear can also be provided with one or more straps attached to a surface of the open toe section. These straps hold the toes into position.
The invention also comprises a method for the manufacture of the shoe having the following steps:
The first and second materials are overlapped at the seams in order to ensure a strong join between the materials.
In both the first and third step, more than one ply of material can be used in order to strengthen the shoe.
The sole 20 of the shoe 10 is divided into a toe part 70, a ball part 80 and an instep-heel part 90. The toe part 70 is substantially adjacent to the toes of the athlete's foot and the ball part 80 is substantially adjacent to the ball of the athlete's foot. The instep-heel part 90 of the sole 20 comprises the rest of the sole 20.
It can be seen that the toe part 70 is curved in order to maintain forward momentum of the athlete and to minimise a "slapping" effect onto the ground which results in the loss of energy. The shape of the toe part 70 encourages the athlete to "roll" the foot. For a shoe of UK size 7.5, the radius of curvature is found to be 6.2 cm from the start of the curvature to the point where the curvature falls out.
Spikes 100 can be attached to the underside of the toe part 70 of the sole 20.
The upper instep 50 is located over an instep portion of the instep-heel part 90 and is engaged with the instep-heel part of the sole 20 by an adjustable connection. The upper 50 is located such that a foot-receiving opening for the article of footwear is defined between the upper and the heel portion 30 of the instep-heel part 90. The upper does not extend over the ball part 80, toe part 70, and heel part 30 of the sole 20 such that an entire area of a top surface of the sole forward and aft of the upper 50 is openly exposed. The straps connecting the upper instep 50 to the instep side supports 40 are adjustable by means of the ties 60. In the figure, the ties 60 are shown as cable ties. Other types of attachments could be used, including laces, Velcro fittings, buckles and straps.
The heel 30 comprises three parts as can be seen from
As can be seen from
The toe part 70 and the instep-heel part 90 are made of a stiff, substantially inflexible material. By stiff, substantially inflexible material is meant a material which shape remains substantially unchanged under the normal forces experienced in athletics. This material is a composite material and in one example comprises carbon fibre sheets. The carbon fibre sheets are made of carbon fibres embedded in a thermoplastic epoxy resin. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, both the toe part 70 and the instep-heel part 90 are made of the same material, but they could be made of different materials.
The carbon fibre sheets used were made by Advanced Composites and had a two by two weave and weighed 200 g/m2. The carbon fibre is a T300 fibre and the carbon fibre sheets.
The heel 30 and the instep side supports 40 are preferably also made of the same material. Indeed they are usually formed integrally with the instep-heel part 90 of the sole 20.
The ball part 80 of the sole 20 is made of a flexible material. This material is flexible at the ball of the athlete's foot. In use, the material flexes at an axis within the material. This is particularly noticeable when the athlete is at the starting blocks. The flexible material is preferably made from a woven aramide fibre sheet comprising aramide fibres, such as Kevlar®, embedded within a thermoplastic epoxy resin.
The flexible material used was a two by two weave of Kevlar fibres made by Advanced Composites and weighing 135 g/m2.
Manufacture of the shoe 10 is carried out in the following manner. Six spikes are cleaned and positioned in a toe part of the mould. A first ply of the carbon fibre sheet was placed in the mould in the toe part of the mould and the instep-heel part of the mold. Firs reinforcements of 10 mm diameter carbon fibre sheets were placed over the spikes. A second ply of the carbon fibre sheet was placed over the first play and second reinforcements of 10 mm diameter carbon fibre sheets were placed over the spikes. A ply of the flexible material was then placed in the ball part of the mould. The flexible material overlapped the second play of the carbon fibre sheet by 10 mm in both the seams with the toe part of the shoe and the instep-heel part of the shoe. A third ply was then placed in the toe part of the mould and the instep-heel part of the mould so that a 10 mm overlap with the ply of the flexible material was achieved at both seams. Third reinforcements of 10 mm diameter of the carbon fibre sheets were used at the spikes. Finally a fourth ply of carbon fibre sheet was laid in the toe part and the instep-heel part of the mould over the third ply of carbon fibre sheet.
The vacancy 95 in the sole 20 and the holes in the heel 30 are made by trimming the material with a diamond-tipped tool.
The mould was closed by vacuum and baked at 135° C. at 90 psi to cure the shoe. The time taken to reach 135° C. is around one hour and the total time, including curing, to produce the finished shoe is 3.5 hours (without trimming).
The shoe 10 made from four ply composite material would weigh between 40 and 43 g. Depending on the size of the shoe 10, these weights will vary slightly.
In another embodiment of the invention, a three ply composite material is used (i.e. three plies of aramide fibre sheet and one layer of carbon fibre sheet). The shoe weighs then about 25-27 g.

Legal Professionals: Build Your Business
|Lawyers.com > Discuss Your Legal Issue > Ask a Lawyer > Criminal Law > How much time would my boyfriend get if he has a armed robbery and this being his first felony case?
The fact pattern that you described does not mention a weapon. Without knowing more facts, it is impossible to answer how your boyfriend's case may be resolved. He may go to trial, by bench or jury, and be found not guilty or guilty. He may plead. He may have a triable pre-trial motion. Only consultation with an experienced defense attorney will give you the information that is needed to determine strategies on how to handle the case.
Robbery is generally a Class 2 felony but can be enhanced under certain circumstances.Under 720 ILCS 5/18-2, the penalties are proscribed for armed robbery. Armed robbery with a dangerous weapon other than a firearm is sentenced as a Class X felony. Class X felonies are not probationable. A violation of the armed robbery statute where a person is armed with a firearm is a Class X felony where an extra sentence of 15 years shall be added to the sentence. If a person personally discharges the firearm during the armed robbery, it is a Class X offense where an additional 20 years shall be added to the sentence. If during the course of the armed robbery, someone personally discharges a firearm that causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, permanent disfigurement or death, it is a Class X felony for which 25 years or up to natural life shall be added to the sentence.
If your boyfriend is charged with robbery, he may be eligible for probation, periodic imprisonment or other sentences short of the 3-7 years in the penitentiary for a Class 2 felony. If he has been convicted of a Class 2 felony on a prior occasion, once again, the penalties may be enhanced.
The question is too complicated to be answered on the internet. Your boyfriend should obtain an experienced criminal defense attorney who can best advise him after learning his background and reviewing the evidence against him.

Average Customer Review: based on 41 reviews.Rating: Ocean Quest Arctic Clear High Definition Panoramic Purge Mask Review - Scuba Gear Reviews
Leak-free fit is my major concern. I need 2 adult masks: one is for a 130# thinner faced female and the second for a 230# wide faced male. Your guidance would be appreciated.
Your add says this mask is for medium to large faces yet your answer to a question referring to fit says it fits anyone 60 lbs and up. I have a small face and would like to know if you think it will fit me
If you have a narrow face check out the Fusion Jr. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-45/027825/XS-Scuba-Fusion-Scuba-Jr.html
i just pool tested my new mask and think that it is fabi have only concern: i will winter in asia and worry that the rigid plastic connecter between the mask and snorkel might break at some inconvient time. can i order one or two replacement connecters to take with me on the trip?
When I check it out, the price up to 59.9 (formerly 29.9). I regret for not find and check it out early. When could I get such promotion price again, please?
Sir, I I buy the mask with the purge feature and the purge valve breaks do I have to buy a new mask or can I replace the purge feature?
The purge valve itself is a simple silicone flap valve. If it breaks or becomes disfigured within the first year of use, without reason (meaning it wasn't left on a hot dashboard or dragged through the sand or something) it would be under warranty and be replaced. Purge valves in masks go bad very, very seldom. It's infrequent enough that very few retailers will ever carry spare parts for them.
I notice a lot of nice masks do not have the purge feature like this one. Why do some people prefer to just clear and not have purge capability?
The use of purges is completely a personal preference. When purge masks were new they had a bad habit of leaking. The rubber would curl when it got hot due to being left in the sun or in a car and they'd never seal. Some had issues with debris getting in them and leaking. For the most part there is no reason NOT to use one if you like them. They are designed as a convenience.
Do you have this or something comparable in a youth 9-12 year olds ( not little kid) sizes? If not what would you recommend?
yes here is the link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-45/027825/XS-Scuba-Fusion-Scuba-Jr.html
Can prescription lenses be placed in this mask?
Hello Karlin, no this mask is not one of mask that has the option for optical lens. Here is the link to all of the mask that have the option for optical lens: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-53/Masks-Masks-w--Optical-Lenses.html.
Ocean Quest is taking steps to improve the over all experience for divers by introducing the Arctic Clear High Definition Panoramic Purge Dive Mask. Ocean Quest utilizes a new lens called the Arctic Clear High Definition lens. The glass used in this process is of optical quality and far more pure than standard tempered "float glass" used in other masks. The optical quality glass in the Ocean Quest Arctic Clear mask offers the best possible clarity and little to no color distortion. This feature actually enhances the available light offering improved vision and visual acuity that is most noticeable in low light conditions!
The skirt on the Arctic Clear HD mask uses the highest grade of surgical silicone available and a panoramic design featuring low profile side windows that maximizes your peripheral vision when wearing the mask. Utilizing easy adjusted swivel buckles and a design that fits just about any face, the Arctic Clear HD Panoramic mask is the perfect mask for just about any diver enjoying most types of diving or snorkeling.

After vocals, acoustic guitar must be the most popular thing to poke a mic at — at least in a typical home studio — yet it isn't always the easiest instrument to record, because as soon as you find that magic sweet spot, the player moves! Solutions to this problem include pickups, which are reliable but not necessarily natural-sounding; mics that clip onto the edge of the sound hole, which also tend to pick up a less than optimal representation of the instrument; and conventional microphones that are fixed above the body of the guitar using some kind of stand-and-clamp assembly. Though the latter is the most cumbersome option, it is also the most effective in achieving a good sound.
We've already reviewed the excellent Xploraudio clamp system, which enables you to fit just about any type of microphone securely to your own guitar. This has the advantage that you can use anything from a small pencil mic to a large-diaphragm tube model, if you want to. SE have opted for an alternative, fully-integrated solution, using a true capacitor microphone with a very small capsule diameter. Small-diameter capsules offer an advantage when working close to a sound source: their off-axis response tends to be better than you'd get from a large-diaphragm model, which is important, given that an acoustic guitar radiates sound from all over the body, not just from the spot you aim the mic at.
Mechanically, the GM10 (which retails at £319) features a solidly-engineered clamping system that grips the body of the guitar. The clamp jaws are sleeved in a rubber-like material to improve grip and avoid damage to the finish of the instrument. There's also enough give in the rubber to allow the clamp to hold securely on instruments that don't have parallel front and back surfaces — which most acoustic guitars don't. A short boom-arm protrudes from the clamp on a swivel-joint. The boom-arm can be slid through the fixing and adjusted in angle to allow flexible positioning of the mic over the guitar body. The small mini-pencil-style microphone capsule assembly is fitted to the end of the boom arm and can also be swivelled, so there's no problem getting the mic in just the right position. Once you've found the sweet spot, the mic stays in the correct relative position no matter how much the player moves. The usual thumbscrews are used to tighten the assembly and, though the engineering looks (in true SE fashion) to be on the heavy side of robust, it doesn't seem to upset the balance of the guitar significantly. The only potential problem I found with the clamping system is that it protrudes quite a long way from the back of the guitar so you have to be careful where you fit it — otherwise you may not be able to hold the guitar comfortably. However, the mic boom is quite long, so you are able to reach the sweet spot from several locations on the guitar body.
The microphone is effectively split into two parts. The capsule assembly housing is on the end of the boom arm and the XLR output connector is close to the clamp assembly, providing a sensibly located connection point for a regular mic cable. This connector is attached to the capsule housing via a thinner cable which, again, makes for a more comfortable setup. This arrangement is good, as it saves having too much mass out on the end of the arm, where the cantilever effect conspires to magnify its effect on balance.
The microphone itself features one of the smallest diameter true-capacitor capsules I've come across (most mics this size or smaller are back-electrets) and requires 48 Volt phantom power to operate. It offers a fixed cardioid pickup pattern, which is good for minimising spill from other sources but may sound less natural than an omni when used under ideal conditions. A resilient shockmount separates the mic capsule from the mounting, and a further shockmount at the end of the boom-arm doubly isolates the mic against vibrations.
Sonically, the mic sounds just as you'd expect a good quality, small-diaphragm mic to sound, and it captures the acoustic guitar's tonality well, with plenty of weight at the bottom and open-sounding detail at the top. As ever, you have to move the mic around to find the sweet spot but this one generally seems happy pointing somewhere close to where the neck joins the body, though you can, of course, experiment with other positions. The double shock isolation is effective in keeping most of the guitar body vibration out of the mic and, at the distance this mic is normally used, there's no audible noise.
A system such as this completely eliminates tonal changes due to the player moving around, and can help gain more separation where the player also sings. Ergonomically, I think the clamp assembly of this SE system could use a bit of a rethink, to eliminate bits of hardware digging into your ribs when you're playing — but, as mentioned earlier, you do have plenty of scope in exactly where you mount the mic. In short, the GM10 is a good idea, it sounds good and, other than the somewhat intrusive mounting hardware, it is very nicely designed, combining light weight with robust engineering. Paul White
The GM10 offers an original and effective approach to acoustic guitar miking, which keeps the microphone in a consistent position in relation to the guitar.

Actor Akshay Kumar, who is said to be endorsing about 13 brands, has raised his fee for endorsement, and says it is a give-and-take relationship and therefore no harm in hiking his fees for such endorsements.
"When some thing is selling well, then I don't think there is any problem in increasing the rates. I don't think anyone should have a problem in that. It's a give-and-take relationship," Akshay told reporters Thursday at the unveiling of Eveready batteries' new range here.
In 2011, Akshay was appointed the ambassador of the brand, while megastar Amitabh Bachchan endorsed it for two years.
The 45-year-old actor, who delivered three hits last year - "Housefull 2", "Rowdy Rathore" and "Khiladi 786 - Made in Punjab" - will next be seen in "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Again" when it hits screens Aug 8.

I am working with a 3rd party web testing API which has a Src property for image.
What I need to do is say:
if (t is HtmlImage) { // Do cast here. } // t is a variable of type T (my generic).
However, my cast does not work. The cast is as follows:
Controls.HtmlImage img = (Controls.HtmlImage)t;
This gives an error stating that I cannot convert Type 'T' to HtmlImage. BUT type T is the base class for all controls, including HtmlImage.
The problem I am trying to solve is I have a utility method to loop through a site's pages, but if I am passing Html Image as the value of T, I get the src property as I need the paths (to identify which images have no alt tags, and the src property can never be null). If T is of another type, I will get another property as an identifier. I am testing if images have alt tags, links have meaningful descriptions, etc. For a possible type total of about 30, is this scalable? Because I will be saying if T is Button, else, etc etc for quite a lot of types (could use table driven method).
HtmlImage inherits from:
public class HtmlImage : ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.HtmlControls.HtmlControl
T is of type HtmlControl
