How It's Made: NASCAR Hoods
We all know the importance of the parts under the hood of a racecar, but in NASCAR the hood itself plays several very important roles.
*Editor's Note: This article was originally composed during the 2011 NASCAR season. Since then, NASCAR has switched to carbon fiber hoods and decklids in competition. Read more about the new hoods here. This article is still provides a great look into the JGR Fabrication shop. We hope you enjoy it!
Aerodynamically speaking, the hood must fit seamlessly onto the body of our Toyota Camry. When you're traveling at 180-200 mph, even the smallest lip can affect the car's ability to cut through the air. Beyond the edges of the hood, per NASCAR rules the hood must maintain its original shape and angles under extreme forces. At times the air traveling beneath the car will try to suck the hood down towards the track, creating a large dent in the middle of the hood. This buckling can cause wind resistance to be reduced – an advantage that NASCAR does not permit. To counteract this, several support bars are built into our hoods.
It's also very important for all of our hoods to be identical. With all of the engineering and fine-tuning that is done to improve performance on the track, the slightest variation in one part of the car could potentially throw-off an entire setup.
Not only do we need conformity in shape, but also in weight. All NASCAR cars can weigh no less than 3,400 pounds. When the weight of a certain part of the car is reduced (such as the hood) it doesn't reduce the overall weight of the car, but it does allow us to repurpose the weight more strategically in other areas of the car. Think about it – a hood can add top-weight to a car and when it comes to cornering, the closer the weight is to the road, the better.
The Hood-Guy
The Joe Gibbs Racing shop is full of master fabricators. Jay Brassard is one of those fabricators. He is responsible for shaping, constructing, and fine-tuning every hood that sits upon our NASCAR racecars. (He also builds decklids, rocker panels, dashboards, and many other parts, but we'll stick with hoods for this story.)
Jay is in his fifth year at JGR, but has been racing his whole life, starting in the early days in New England. He has been fabricating for race teams for almost thirty years.
"My best work is the work that goes unnoticed," Jay says. "When the hoods do their job at the track, the boys at the track don't have to think about the hood, they can focus on the important stuff like car setups. When something goes wrong, people notice right away."
When Jay first started at JGR, there wasn't one person solely in charge of hoods. A year later, there was a need to streamline the production and development of our hoods, and manager Terry Saunier a.k.a. "Frenchy" tabbed Jay as the right man for the job. Since then, Frenchy, Jay, Paul Charcut (a 17+ year veteran of JGR), and others have developed a system that allows Jay to crank out over 80 hoods in a year. They have also shaved 5 pounds off of the overall weight of each finalized hood – finding an extra 5 pounds to play with is a big deal with these cars!
Jay's workstation is home to a welder, table, tool chest, several different kinds of metal shaping tools, and the life-blood of the operation – an air compressor. The name of the hood-building game is efficiency and precision. In addition to his template jig, Jay has hundreds off different kinds of tools such as drills, grinders, wrenches, grips, benders, vices, etc. Some of these tools were custom made by Jay to do specialized jobs.
Jay will be the first to tell you that good teamwork is the key to his success and success on the track. Welding and shaping metal must be done well, but without good communication, good morale, and a respect for the team and one another, the wins won't come. "We are like a big family here. Every weekend there are 400 people cheering for all three JGR cars, watching their hard work go around the track."
The Anatomy of a Hood
NASCAR hoods are made of steel and come to us straight from Toyota Racing Development as a raw "stamping". This stamping includes the basic form and contour of a Toyota Camry street vehicle. It is attached to the car by hinged brackets near the windshield and is held shut by four hood-pins. Additionally, the hood contains support braces and is also attached to the frame of the car by two tethers that keep the hood from leaving the car in an accident.
Each hood is assigned a unique number. Jay keeps a notebook that lists every hood he has made and the car it has been associated with. He also notes whether or not a hood has been damaged in a certain race. Because of a hood's low weight, Jay inspects certain areas of the hood that he knows are prone to damage and weakening. A hood goes through countless openings and closings throughout a race weekend in addition to the extreme vibrations and air pressure it faces on the track. The average hood will last three races before it needs a thorough inspection.
10 Steps: Making a NASCAR Hood
|When we receive the raw hood stamping at our shop, Jay inspects it and begins shaving some of the excess metal from the edges of the molding.
|The hood is placed on a custom template jig and the edges are folded under to create strength along the edges of the hood.
|Next, Jay cuts and shapes the tubing and rails that will act as support for the overall structure of the hood. There is somewhere around 12 feet of tubing in one hood. The design and placement of the tubing varies depending on the type of track the hood will visit. Superspeedways and tracks 1.5 miles or more need more support because of the large amounts of wind turbulence and pressure on the hood. The edges of the support tubing are filled with an epoxy that will dry overnight.
|While still on the template jig, holes are drilled for the hood pins and tether plate, and hinge brackets are positioned and installed.
|Jay also builds the ledge that will be welded to the cars fenders and nose. The edges of the hood will lie on this ledge. This enables Jay to create a flush fit when the hood makes it to the car. This ledge will actually be attached to the hood itself by Jay.
|Additionally, Jay attaches a bar that will be welded to the frame rails. The hood pin bungs (pictured) are attached to this bar. The hood posts will screw into this bung and poke through the hole in the hood. Then, a hood pin will be inserted into the hole at the top of the post which keeps the hood closed. There are four hood pins for every NASCAR hood.
|Jay welds tiny tacks at different points along the edge of the hood. These tacks keep the hood attached to the ledge and bar mentioned in steps 5 and 6. This entire package is called the hood assembly.
|Jay delivers the hood assembly to fabricators who work on the car body.
|Finally, the hood assembly will be welded to the fenders and nose and all hinges will be connected and aligned. Fabricators will smooth the welded areas and cut the tack welds, enabling the hood to open and close normally.
|The fully functional hood will then head to the paint booth with the rest of the car where it will be painted and decaled with the appropriate sponsor logos. Next stop – the race track! After races, the hood assembly is inspected for damage, especially around the hood pin bungs and the brackets near the windshield. If a hood is damaged in an accident or is weakened beyond repair it is retired and will often end up in the JGR gift shop.

It appears Xbox has jumped the gun on revealing a few screens of the upcoming Zombies mode in Treyarch's newest first person shooter.
Treyarch is gearing up for the World Reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops II's Zombies, unveiling tomorrow September 26, 2012. Prior to the reveal however, the Xbox dashboard published a pair of new screens from the mode.
Fans got a preview at the mode in the short teaser released a few days back, but besides that, Activision has kept the lid on any other details of the awaited Zombies mode. Dont fret as all will be revealed tomorrow during official World Premiere.
What do you think we'll be seeing in the reveal tomorrow? Check out the images below.
[Update] Four brand-new multiplayer images have also surfaced on the Xbox dashboard ahead of the Multiplayer Reveal at the Eurogamer Expo. Images can be seen here.

Omg I feel so bad that I've abandon my blog for so long. My life is like in a total havoc right now. My maid just left, leaving my house is in a total mess. The laundry is stacked so high that I have a hard time finding clean clothes to wear! My dog is suffering from depression due to my maid's departure. And I finally found a job so I've been really busy, trying hard to keep up but I'm really quite dumb. I'm quite useless without a computer screen in front of my face. I can't even write properly! My colleagues was actually making fun of my hand-writing. ;(
I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing that I finally got a job. I really think it's a bad timing. Well, lastly, I still have to study for my exams.
Omg omg omg. First time in my life, I've gone without a maid around. I think for a princess attitude person like me, this is way too much for me to handle. T-T
Anyway, I have something to share with the ladies residing in Singapore that love/want natural long lashes! (who doesn't?!) or want fuller lashes. Like this facebook page now! Dazzling Style and Beauty. They'll be giving away a product that will definitely astonish you!
Dazzling Style and Beauty is a little beauty salon run by Michelle Gait. It's located in Holland Village Shopping Center (#03-13). They provide services like waxing, facial, eyelash perming/tinting, eyebrow shaping/embroidery, make-overs and even teaches private makeup lessons.
Also, they have this really interesting product that has been selling really really well!
Introducing… ILASH.
I've just started using it too, and trust me! It REALY works! I was quite skeptical myself really. But after seeing the difference it did upfront, I know I had to get it too! I'm such a sucker for anything to do with lashes. Haha
Anyway, if you're interested to try their services, why not book an appointment! Call or SMS/Whatsapp to +65 8223 6332 for an appointment now!
Got a new phone today! Samsung Galaxy S3. It was like sold out almost immediately after it was released over here in Singapore! They just restocked today and there was still a super long queue at the shop!
Can't wait to play with it! 8hours of charging in progress! But argh! I feel like I'm betraying Apple, but I had no choice! The mobile plans here are changing to 1GB data, so if you subscript next time you won't get 12GB anymore.
I'm sorry Apple. & please don't release Iphone5 anytime soon. T-T
Anyway, I bought this rose bangle from Zalora.sg for like $9.90 and actually received it on the same day, in the evening!
Super impressed with the delivery — delivered to my doorstep even! I only purchased a bracelet that's less than 10bucks and it was wrapped so nicely in a box and they even gave me a voucher. o_O; Super shocked!
So! About the title…
Week before when I was out with my friend, I passed by the UFO machines and saw the Arpa that I wanted most! Was soooo happy! But I sucked at catching, tried afew times failed and gave up.
My boyfriend is super awesome at catching toys from the UFO machine though! But it took a week after days of showing pitiful face to finally managing to convince him to catch it for me.
So after dinner we rushed down to get it!
The cutie that I wanted:
Wasn't there anymore! ;(
But Dada said that he promised to get me a arpakasso, so I must bring home a arpkasso.
And so he caught me a arpakasso…… with 2 tries!
I was instantly shocked! Not cause he caught it in 2tries, but because there was this girl next to me that screamed into my ears. T-T
The arpakasso's in this set.
I chose this one cause of the retarded mask on it's head. Haha
But my baby is super scared of it! Haha! So I might just cut the mask out to bring it around just to scare her when she annoys me! She's been so gluey to me these few days. & It's not like her to be so super gluey!
It usually takes her afew minutes when I call her to come. She seem to have a problem deciding if she should waste her energy to walk to me or pretend she didn't hear me call. But now! she runs to me without thinking, even if I didn't call out for her.
Seriously! What is wrong with her O_O?!
It was really cute though. She straggled away the second I put the arpa next to her! HAHA
So! Here's my family of Arpakasso's!
I was still quite upset that I couldn't get the arpa that I wanted though. And my boyfriend hates it when I'm not happy. So to make up for it… he when to the Sanrio shop and got me this instead!
The hello kitty I saw before but didn't buy it cause it was too expensive. o_o;
It's super super cute! Had wings at the back! Angel Hello Kitty! Hehehe
And the tag on it made us laugh!
"This is not a toy" … Really? Lol It's a cushion! Not a toy!
I think I have the most awesome boyfriend ever!
We had a big fight yesterday actually. We use to fight alot in the past but not so much now. So it's been a long time since I had the feeling of wanting to strangle him to death.
I kinda feel bad cause I know I could've avoided it but somehow I didn't want to. It's stupid! Sometimes I really forget the things he has done for me, and just keep implanting unhappy vibes instead. I know it's wrong but sometimes when you're angry, you just don't think straight. It's like you're itching for trouble.
But really, no relationships are perfect. It's really your choice to bypass the unpleasant memories and accept only the good ones. Because chances are, "perfect looking ones" are the worse case scenario.
I know everything's fine now. But I'm sorry my baby boy, I love you. ♥
XOXO, your baby love and the dog that hates you. ♥
I think I suddenly forgot the purpose of this blog. It was first created as a personal blog for me to spill all my stress, unhappiness and worries to. But somehow it has become something else? I'm not sure… but I wonder, do I really not have any unhappiness anymore? I don't know. Maybe I've tried so hard to sensor everything off that I finally manage to do it? So… that endless talking to myself, self-psychoing weird behavior/bad habit does work! Haha
It's not that I'm super carefree now, though, I'm really feeling much more stress free. My secret! Not much a secret actually, just… IGNORE everything that makes you unhappy. If you can't change it, leave it alone. If you can change it, then you won't be stressed anyway. So yea, "I don't give a damn" attitude works sometimes. But of cause you must get your priorities right. Know when to care and when to ignore.
Or possibly my vitamins are helping me expel stress? At least that's what the description says "Helps relief stress and fatigue" Haha!
But you know, I do still have my worries, I would be lying if I said "I'm so freaking happy! my life's so perfect!" cause it's obviously not.
But yea.. life has been boring or has my expectations changed? How I see it, everything has been the same, but I feel different? And seriously. I NEED A JOB. ;(
Before I start… Here's a picture of the junk food my boyfriend just stocked up for me! *puts on a blissful face* Please tell me how am I ever gonna lose weight? Haha
Alright now!
I received this yesterday.
This is the Invicible Scars – Advanced Scar Therapy Cream.

Yesterday I made dinner for my love.
Sirloin Steak with Caramelize Onions & Mushrooms with Truffle Fries ♥
I seriously need to get a proper grill-pan, my steak look so unprofessional without those grill lines! Haha. Does anyone have any recommendation for a good grill pan?
Look at the generous amount of shrooooms! Cause Dada loves shroomies!
I remember the last time I prepared steak was for my girlfriends, and it was a BIG DISASTER. Only because there was an uninvited guest that day. Not my girlfriends of cause, but someone they brought over. I really can't cook when I'm unhappy! Period.
So I'm quite proud of myself this time round! Cooked the meat just nice! Would've been better if I took it out 10seconds earlier though. Still, I think I did a good job! *Yes, Vanessa! Well done!*
When you do something for someone you love, it always has to be the best! If not, out the window it goes! ^___^
Well, after that Dada decided to cook the left over scallops we had in the freezer. He tested 2 different types.
Caramelize black vinegar with lemon zest flavored sauce coated with truffle oil. I don't know why, we have been obsessing with truffle oil these days! We coat EVERYTHING with it!
And the other one was, garlic & parmesan cheese with chili flakes.
Looks super yums right?! Haha. The reason for my happily being fat life style! …Someone slap me please. O__o; LOSE WEIGHT! Musttt loseee weighttt! BUT HOW?!
Well, about truffle oil. This is the one Dada got for me! Also the one his restaurant uses.
I think it's a really good and cheap! It's called "Plantin Delices White Truffle Oil" & it's only $35 for a 250ML Bottle! The previous one we used was a 50ML bottle that cost more than $40!
I was actually searching for Glossybox on google and found this instead. & Decided to give it a go since Glossybox isn't in Singapore yet!
Felt like I was opening a present! It's so pretty!
BellaBox is like a monthly membership where you pay a small fee and receive a sample box of beauty products (skin care, makeup, fragrance etc) delivered to your doorstep!
These were the products in June's box.
I was actually quite surprise with the samples they gave. Not those ridiculous sachets! & It even had 10% vouchers if you decide to purchase the retail size.
I'm excited to try the Biotherm White D-Tox BB Cream!
Also, very handy, the price list for the products given!
Pretty happy with it, probably gonna sign up monthly for it!
My new kitty… in towel material. ^____^ Yes, towel! o_o;
A strange material for a stuff toy you think? Well, my boyfriend is allergic to furry stuff thus furry stuff are forbidden.
But you know what? My boyfriend can be really really irritating! Even though his allergic, he gives me ALOT of toys. -_-; And by alot I really mean A-L-O-T!
Those are just afew of them!
I have a habit of hugging toys to sleep, so sometimes I would sneakily grab my toy when I think his asleep. But sometimes his not exactly asleep and starts to sneeze. In my head I'm like… SHIT! and before I know it.. I'll see a demon face in front of me and there goes my toy. Kinda creepy in the middle of the night really. o_o;
Apart from my 3 favorite giant plushies having the privilege to be seated at the edge of my bed.
Shelliemay, Champouf & Duffy!
And the only other exception, my cutie Arpakasso! Cause it was given by the 2 most favorite/important people on earth, Kristy & Kevan. My arpa gets the honor to be right next to my pillow all the time!~
Either than that, all my poor plushies shares the same fate of getting wrapped into plastics and hidden in parts of my room. ;(
So I guess buying this kitty was a really gooooood thing! Don't you think online shopping is just awesome? You can buy almost anything! Kekeke
Talking about kittys! Here's my McDonald's Hello Kitty set! Thank you Dada for having maccas during the hello kitty period! ^_^
This is the number one beauty product I can't can't can't live without! — Mascara.
Here I'll show you some of the products I use/have and a short tutorial!

Let's start!
#1: Curl!
This is the most essential tool for your lashes! If you don't curl your lashes you might aswell not apply mascara. Unless you have mad crazy eyelashes that's naturally curly then… please do not talk to me!!! Keke just joking.
Shu Uemura's Curler is well known to be one of the best curlers. But that does not imply it's for everyone! Different people have different eye shapes, some wider some deeper. It doesn't make sense if you have smaller/flatter eyes and you use a curler that has a rounder shape. It won't even reach your lashes properly to clamp it! — Simple logic, get a curler that's flatter.
Shiseido's curler could be an option, it's flatter. & cause it's flatter you can use it to curl the outer side of your lashes, whereas sometimes you didn't manage to curl properly.
#2: Treatment!
Ettusais Eyelash Essence, it's like a white liquid serum with a spongey wand applicator. This is the very first coat I ALWAYS apply before anything else. It's use to protect and strengthen your lashes, and was also said to help them grow longer! (Which really did for me!)
You can even use it daily even if you're not applying makeup, it's like a moisturizer for your lashes. Haha
#3: Primer
Eyelash primer/base, this is used to "extend" your lashes with little fibers and of cause to protect them aswell.
Pretty much when a mascara claims to be for volume/lengthening etc are just bullshit to me. This is the real deal! Without this, even if you apply a mascara for lengthening, it won't extend as much as applying this first. So I guess a good primer could actually be more important than the mascara itself.
1 coat of this is like 3 coats of mascara. It lengthens and thickens your lashes without damaging them.
#4: Mascara
Some people always forget to coat the top side of the eyelashes! (I'm guilty too! Haha) Applying on the top side of you lashes is actually the obvious secret in making your lash look fuller.
These are the 5 mascara's I'll be talking about.
#1 Fairydrops Volume Burst
Right now this is my favoriteeeeee mascara! Just 1 coat makes a dramatic difference! 3coats and no clumps! This one has a waterproof formula. The last time I when to universal studios I had this on (obviously you would sweat alot!), from morning till night the curl was still holding! I ever rinse my face with it on (I forgot I had mascara on haha) dried my face with a cloth and it didn't even smudge, nothing came off! and the curl was still holding too! Even so, it's actually really easy to remove. (I use Shu Uemura's Cleansing Oil)
Before & After application, 2 coats of fairydrops' mascara:
#2 Lancome Oscillation
Quoted from my previous post, "I love how it look so natural and feels so light! The vibrating wand makes it so easy to evenly apply, therefore reduces clumps! The brush is really slim too, so it makes application on the bottom lash much easier."
#3 Lancome Precious Cells
These is probably one of the mascaras that actually really lengthens your lashes! Nothing much to say. It's Lancome! You can't go wrong with Lancome! That's why they are the leading brand for mascaras/makeup. The price might look expensive but totally worth it! Simply because THEY DO NOT DAMAGE YOUR LASHES! But of cause I cannot guarantee that. It doesn't hurt mine doesn't mean it won't hurt yours.
Though…. Funny story, yesterday my dog accidentally bite my face. I immediately burst out in tears! (I'm a crybaby haha) Well, my sister came and started laughing then passed me a mirror. Apparently, my mascara had completely smudged and I looked like a creepy panda. Lolol. So we have learn that, this mascara is not tear-proof! Lol. But don't worry, it doesn't really smudge apart from tears. Lol
#4 Majorca Majolica Lash King
This is probably one of the best mascara for a dramatic look. However, there's a very bad after effect for that momentary luscious look… It's nearly impossible to remove! Usually 1 full press of Shu Uemura's Cleansing Oil removes anything on my face! But it took me 3 wash before I could get everything off my lashes for this! Making things more painful, I found many strains of lash hair on my palm. T-T
#5 Dollywink Long
My previous loved. The problem with it is it makes my lashes feels really hard. It doesn't hold the curl as long as Fairydrop's and it isn't as gentle as Lancome's. But it does a pretty good job for lengthening and doesn't seem to clump, even applying another coat once dried.
So that's it! Hope this helped.
Thank you for this 5years, Baby boy. & thank you for the little (not so little) gift! I love you ♥

Objectives: It is questionable whether the stress response to surgery is necessary. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia on energy metabolism and compare cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor with tramadol in postoperative pain management after major abdominal surgery.
Methods: A total of 112 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to one of the 4 treatment groups before surgery. Then, patients were scheduled to receive different analgesic drugs after surgery: group parecoxib/control received intravenous parecoxib (40 mg bid) for 3 days; group parecoxib/celecoxib received intravenous parecoxib (40 mg bid) for 3 days and continued oral celecoxib (0.2 mg bid) for 4 days; group tramadol/control received intravenous tramadol (0.1 g tid) for 3 days; and group tramadol/tramadol received intravenous tramadol (0.1 g tid) for 3 days and continued oral tramadol (0.1 g tid) for 4 days.
Results: Group tramadol/tramadol showed much lower rest energy expenditure 1 week after surgery (P<0.05). The measured rest energy expenditure was significantly lower in patients treated with analgesic drugs administered from day 4 to 7 after surgery relative to control group (P<0.01). From the fourth day after surgery, groups parecoxib/celecoxib and tramadol/tramadol showed significantly lower pain intensity ratings compared with groups parecoxib/control and tramadol/control during leg raising (P<0.05).
Conclusions: These results confirm that sufficient postoperative analgesia may be efficient to reduce some of the stress responses to operative trauma. In addition, intravenous parecoxib (40 mg bid) followed by oral celecoxib (0.2 g bid) is as effective as intravenous tramadol (0.1 g tid) with continued oral tramadol (0.1 g tid) after major abdominal surgery.

Our two or three day 'Four Thousand Islands' program takes in the best of this fabulous area. Furthermore enjoy beautiful waterfalls, villages stretching out into the islands, and a boat ride to see the rare Irrawadi dolphins. Travelers heading to Cambodia can end their Laos tour at the border town of Veunkham.
Day 1: Pakse – Ban Hat Saykhoon - Don Khone
We depart from Pakse toward the Four Thousand Islands or Si Pan Done, as they are called in Lao. We start kayaking at Hat Saykhoon village and paddle with the flowing waters of the Mekong. We pass peaceful island villages with coconut trees and stop on an island shore for a picnic lunch. We then continue to Don Khone island, spending the night in a guesthouse from where we can watch the marvellous sunset.
Approximately: 2½ hours transfer / 4½ hours kayaking or rafting
Day 2: Don Khone – Liphi Waterfall - Ban Hang Khone – Dolphin Area - Ban Hang Khone
After breakfast, we take a short morning walk to see colonial buildings on the island and continue to the Liphi Waterfall to view this gorgeous natural phenomenon. We can hear the spine chilling thunder from a fall that already vexed the early French explorers.
We enjoy lunch at Liphi Waterfall before paddling downstream to Ban Hang Khone through more tranquil waters and through some of the many channels in the Mekong here. Once we get to Ban Hang Khone, we take a boat for a ride to a special area in order to spot the rare Irrawaddy dolphins (in the dry season we may be able to paddle directly to this place), the only site left in Laos for this highly endangered species. Green Discovery Laos is working with local authorities to contribute to a dolphin conservation fund - to which a fixed percentage of all paddle tours in the area are being dedicated.
Approximately: 3 hours walking / 2½ hours kayaking or rafting / 1 hour boat
Day 3: Ban Hang Khone – Don Khone - Don Ae - Khone Phapheng – Veunkham border or Pakse Khon
In the morning we take a bicycle for a tour around Don Khon island. After lunch we enjoy a short boat ride to Don Ae and then paddle from here on the Mekong for about 1½ hours. We kayak into a huge class 1-2 rapid where we are washed downstream into a long section of large whirlpools. These whirlpools have kept people out of the area for centuries so the surrounding forests shelter a surprising variety of wildlife. We continue by Tuk-Tuk to Khone Phapheng Water Fall.
At the view point we overlook the Khone Phapheng falls from above. To see the sheer power of water at such close range is staggering. From here, we'll drive back to Pakse
Approximately: 3 hours transfer/ 2 hours kayaking / ½ hour boat
Trip ends at Khone Phapheng, we'll return to Pakse (approximately 3 hours). You can continue onward to Cambodia. Transfer to the border is included! Contact us for the road tour to Siem Reap.

Safavieh to Debut New Cotton Bath Rugs with Designer Looks
February 19, 2013,
PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.-At the New York Home Fashions Market next month, Safavieh will expand its bath rug collection with two additional lines, which will target the mid-tier market. The company shows in its Manhattan showroom, 153 Madison Ave. at 32nd Street.
"Since launching our first bath rug collection a year ago at the March 2012 Home Fashions Market, we have had great response to our designs and price points," said Cyrus Yaraghi, Safavieh principal. "The program has been expanded to include products for all retail categories from department and linen specialty stores to large discount chains. The strategy for our March introductions is to bring a custom designer look to cotton bath rugs for the mid-tier market."
The two new lines are the Plush Master Bath collection, which will include a blue and white awning stripe bath rug of 100 percent cotton, shown; and the Boston Bathmats collection, one design of which has a diamond motif in five colorways and is made of 100 percent cotton. The Plush Master Bath collection is available in sets of two in either a 22-by-34-inch size or a 27-by-45-inch size, while the Boston Bathmats are packaged individually and come in sizes of 30 by 48, 36 by 60 and 48 by 72 inches.

A common call for Maintenance comes from a clogged or slow drain. Unfortunately, there are a multitude of commercials telling our residents that such irritants can be easily removed by using a bottle of chemicals. "The commercial says "safe for all plumbing," so that means it's OK for us to use it as well, right?" residents think.
First of all, every service request that involves standing water in a sink, tub or toilet should be treated as if the substance in the bottom is dangerous. Many chemical drain openers do not have an identifying odor or color to warn us of impending danger so we must act accordingly. This means that Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required for every clog or slow drain notice received from a resident. At the very least, you should use gloves and goggles.
In a previous post I wrote about a snag tool—the best solution I've found to stop slow or clogged drains. A major brand of drain opener is actually now including a version of this tool with their chemical.
Other tools can help to defeat these clogs, and, with a little training, can be used to safely and inexpensively get the water running with gravity again.
The first is a plunger. With a little knowledge, most of our residents can use this safely and cleanly to free an obstruction in the toilet without help from maintenance. But did you know that the plunger can work in a sink as well? In a toilet, the plunger is used to push the obstruction down the pipe. For the tool to perform well in a sink, the opposite action is used. This means that instead of trying to force the offending material further down the pipe, the plunger is actually used to attempt to pull it back toward the drain opening.
Here's how:
With a little standing water covering the drain (this can be done with as little as ½ inch of water)…
If this trick doesn't work, do not despair! There is another tool that most communities have on hand that can make short work of this issue—the toilet auger (commonly called a Toilet Snake).
The toilet auger is a device that has a hand crank attached to a 3 ft. to 4 ft. cable that is run through a pipe that has a handle on one end and a curve at the other. (My favorite model has a button at the bottom of the crank that, when pressed, releases three more feet of cable hidden in the handle.) On the open end of the cable is a fitting that looks like a corkscrew. By removing the trap under the sink, the end of the corkscrew will fit nicely into the pipe, allowing for quick removal of any debris.
If the problem is a bathtub, the technician can gain access to the pipe through the drain overflow cover.

A five-year project ended with a quiet gathering of Helping Hands Hospice board of directors members and artist Doug Quarles, who posed for pictures Monday at the Eyes on 66 mural in Tucumcari.
Quarles, a former Tucumcari resident whose murals have given the city the nickname "the City of Murals" returned to the city over the weekend to finish the Eyes on 66 project, which he started five years ago, along with some other projects.
From the mural, 32 pairs of eyes gaze eastward onto Historic Route 66, each belonging to an individual who donated money to have their eyes join the stare-down onto Tucumcari's main drag, according to Mary Jimenez, president of the hospice board.
Eventually, Jimenez said, the hospice group hopes to hold a fund-raising contest in which the object will be to name all the eye-owners.
The mural also includes some subtle reminders that it's on Route 66, Quarles said. Each rectangle, he said, is 24 by 66 inches. In addition, he said, there are 66 eyes in the mural.
A visitor is likely to count 32 pairs of eyes on the wall, making 64, but there are two more eyes on the mural. They belong to hospice board member Diana Beck, whose life-size likeness appears at ground level on the lower left corner of the wall-size work. Her peepers bring the total to 66.
The mural has raised about $10,000 for the hospice group, Jimenez said. Proceeds have come from the people whose eyes appear on the wall. Each paid for the privilege of having their forward gazes painted into the mural.
Quarles said there is no plan, alphabetical or chronological, to how the eyes are arranged on the wall.
"It's random," he said.

Pressure Washing Huntsville AL

Our services include residential and commercial building and house washing, concrete washing, brick, stone and stucco washing, graffiti removal, low pressure roof washing, and deck and fence restoration services. Window Gang Huntsville, Alabama can handle all your pressure washing needs.
Pressure Washing Services
Pressure Cleaning
If done correctly, there are many benefits to pressure washing; however, using too much pressure when washing, can damage decks, fences, concrete and siding. When we wash exterior surfaces, we use a low pressure chemical wash. This method is approved by the American Hardboard Association and the American Vinyl Siding Institute, and will not damage property.
Pressure/chemical washing can extend the life of siding, concrete driveways, porches, sidewalks, decks & fences. When done on a regular bases (at least once a year), pressure/chemical washing can eliminate contaminates that can rot, decay and prematurely age the home's exterior. In other words, pressure washing can add years of life to your property. Not only will it breathe life back into the property, making it look like new, pressure washing will save money on costly repairs.
Pressure Washing
When dirt, dust, mold & mildew collect and grow on surfaces, you are surrounded by contaminants that pose health risks. Pressure washing alone will not remove dirt, dust, mold & mildew. Chemical washing is the only process that has been proven to successfully treat and removed these contaminants. Pressure/chemical washing on a regular basis will remove these contaminants, and ensure your family is safe.
Pressure Cleaning
Another reason to pressure wash is to improve the homes appearance. This will also increase the homes value. For those looking to sell their home, consider the value of curb appeal. Pressure washing is considered to be one of the most affordable ways to increase the property value. According to the National Association of Real Estate Appraisers, "a good first appearance on a home can add as much as 5 to 10 percent to the value of the home."
Let Window Gang show you why we are the industry leaders in pressure washing across the country. From our knowledge and experience in the correct process of pressure washing, to our clean, educated & fully trained technicians, Window Gang will provide you, "Service Beyond Your Expectations!"

In just five days time, the Emirates Stadium will play host to an absolutely mouthwatering tie between two of Europe's premier clubs in the Champions League Round of 16 knockout stage. Arsenal come in as the underdogs at home on Wednesday the 16th, looking to upset Barcelona and take a vital lead to the Camp Nou on March 8th. Can the Gunners breach the stanch "Blaugrana" back line led by Carles Puyol? I think so, but, more importantly, can they contain David Villa and Lionel Messi?
The match is so compelling for so many reasons. Arguably the two best youth systems will be matching up again on Europe's biggest stage. The styles dictated from the managers are similar, the midfield play is stellar and there's no doubt the entire world will be watching. The following is my prediction and whom will play the pivotal roles in deciding this epic Champions League tie.

Ashley Jones Returns as Bold and Beautiful's Bridget
By Jamey Giddens
Just as the Logan family is once again being torn asunder by one of Brooke's (Katherine Kelly Lang) indiscretions, comes news of the femme fatale's most tragic victim returning on The Bold and the Beautiful. Ashley Jones revealed she's reprising the role of Bridget Forrester to our pals over at Zap2it!
Long-time B&B fans will remember Brooke was impregnated by Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), while he was married to her daughter Bridget (then Jennifer Finnigan). Once Jones took over the role, Bridget and her mother both bedded sailor-turned-mogul Nick Marone (Jack Wagner). Bridget's aunt Katie (Heather Tom) also swabbed Nick's deck — while he was still involved with her niece!

She is probably going to shake her head and said "mom you did it again".
Then she is going to tell Katie, you have known mom is a barracuda. She eats every man in sight.

|I guess everyone forget that Bridget did her own version of Brooke, when she got pregnant with Logan when Owen was still married to Jackie. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

Naah, I didn't forgot that Bridge did her fair share of Loganism.
But seriously, Brooke indiscretions takes place on a daily basis.

Background: Sex-related differences in end-of-life decisions (EOLD) are underresearched and unexplored.
Objectives: To investigate whether there are (1) differences in demographic and/or clinical characteristics between male and female decedents; (2) differences between men and women in the prevalence of EOLD with a possible or certain life-shortening effect; (3) differences in EOL decision making between men and women.
Methods: In 2007, we performed a postmortem survey in Flanders, Belgium among physicians certifying a large representative sample (n=6927) of death certificates. Response rate was 58.4%.
Results: Of patients with nonsudden death, women more often die in a care home than men (31.4% vs. 18.2%) who more often die at home (24.1% vs. 17.9%). Men tend to die more often from cancer than women (45.4% vs. 32.1%). Decisions to withhold or withdraw potentially life-prolonging treatment are more often made in women (28.0% vs. 22.8%, P=0.003); euthanasia and pain and symptoms treatment [alleviation of pain and symptoms (APS)] occur more often in men (3.6% vs. 2.1% euthanasia, P=0.023; 41.8% vs. 36.9% APS, P=0.012). These differences disappear after controlling for confounders. Bivariate associations were found between sex and EOL decision making. Some of them remained after controlling for confounders.
Conclusions: It is not the patient's sex in itself that determines the likelihood of an EOLD, but the different clinical profiles of men and women at the end of life. Although sex is not a determining factor in the prevalence of EOLD, it influences the decision-making process, indicating that there may be a difference in the way that male and female patients participate in EOL decision making.

Apologies to BioWare fanboys, but I have to admit that I was skeptical of a Star Wars MMO. I never played Star Wars Galaxies and I had a hard time putting my finger on why the idea didn't appeal to me until the fine folks at Red Letter Media summed it up for me: lightsabers lose their impact when everyone has one.
For instance, in the original trilogy they were a rarity, wielded only by Jedi knights. By the time the prequels came out everyone and their mother had one. In an MMO, just any Joe schmo can get one, making the once-beloved weapon rather passe.
Star Wars: The Old Republic also has a Clone Wars-like aesthetic, which didn't help. The Tatooine area I saw looked like it was built of plastic sand and green screens. Resembling the reviled prequels over their beloved predecessors, The Old Republic makes a bad first impression.
It is a BioWare game, though, and they're notorious for making high-quality RPGs. They even turned the impressive trick of making non-trilogy Star Wars cool again with Knights of The Old Republic in 2003. So if anyone can make this tenuous concept work, it's BioWare.
According to the developer, the foundation of a compelling role-playing experience is exploration, progress, combat, and story. They claimed that lots of MMOs succeed at the former three, but BioWare themselves wanted to create a story-driven experience in this space as well.
To achieve this, each class has their own unique story in the Star Wars universe. From there, plenty of choices will affect your specific story. So you could play the game for 100 hours with a Jedi Knight, then start over as a bounty hunter and have a completely different experience. "We're giving players Knights of the Old Republic 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in one MMO package," said the demo rep.
Like other BioWare hits, The Old Republic will feature moral choices. The one shown off today portrayed a Jedi Knight deciding whether to slay a defeated Sith Lord or spare him. The former obviously results in bloodshed, while the latter ends with him joining your cause.
It also leads to some embarrassingly cheesy dialogue like, "It's a strange thing, saving lives instead of taking them. It feels right." It feels pandering, more like. Hopefully other choices won't be as blatantly black and white.
For better or worse, The Old Republic is the first fully-voiced MMO. Every class and every NPC will speak. From what I saw, most of the voice-acting was decent, but not up to the standard of Mass Effect or Dragon Age.
The dialogue operates almost exactly like in Mass Effect, with a wheel in the middle dictating whether your responses lean toward the dark side or the order of the jedi. Keeping track is a karma meter, letting you know at any time where you stand.
Combat is much as one would expect, with different attack options and abilities for lightsabers, guns, and force powers. Vehicles are also a major component, and trailer gave a brief glimpse at space combat which looked more exciting than on-foot action. Sadly, these sections were not available to play.
Elsewhere, Bioware is promising dozens of worlds, complete with many famous locations from the movies. We even get to see Alderaan thousands of year before it got blown up by the Death Star.
It's unclear who The Old Republic is supposed to appeal to. Its complex mechanics and the dark tone of its trailers seems to indicate an older crowd, but the bright, cartoony look, obvious moral choices, and hokey dialogue would appeal more towards a younger audience.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg and given BioWare's pedigree it's likely that the script will get exponentially more mature as it goes. It's certainly an ambitious undertaking at any rate and though I remain skeptical, I have to give BioWare credit for attempting such an arduous task. As Han Solo once said, "Never tell me the odds."

COOL STORY BRO!Posted: June 24, 2011 5:24 AM
Wow, is this a movie-comparison or a MMO-preview? I don't mind negativity towards games, but this preview was just plain bad, not informative, pretty inacurate at certain points and just plain dumb.
U mad bro?

joy, more cartoony wow looking crapPosted: June 12, 2011 2:03 PM
Thats just how it is on g4tv. Not one person has their own opinion about anything. everyone likes the same crap. I mean lets see some have an opposing point of view for a change and not be told what to say by the execs.Posted: June 12, 2011 1:57 PM
Really getting sick of people blasting the Prequel trilogy. Really? It's Star Wars. How can you not like it. Once you start blasting people for liking it then you just become another ignorant douchebag.Posted: June 12, 2011 1:07 PM
Is that December 1, 2011 release date for real or what?Posted: June 10, 2011 5:06 PM
This reviewer seems more like a troll or someone who is a bitter drunk and decided to write this. I don't get it. Its called a preview, not a "let me tell you why I don't think this is going to be a good game". Piss off dude and learn some writing skill. And maybe in the future lets not piss off people who are potential fans of your articles.Posted: June 9, 2011 7:00 AM
Please, get Leah on Feedback to talk about this game. The guy who wrote this doesn't even have an explanation for the graphics which were chosen 2 years ago. A MMO Person should review/preview MMOs. Simple as that.Posted: June 8, 2011 6:50 PM
If you were skeptical of a Star Wars MMO and have never played galaxies, why then didnt you at least take the 2 week free trial and play a little before sticking your foot in your mouth. Also, why wasnt this assignment given to someone who had either played galaxies or the TOR hands on demo from last years e3. Its like asking a virgin to write an article describing sex, without first hand knowledge its all just second hand gossip.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:13 PM
Yikes. Well, he told us nothing anyone with internet didn't know before (moral choices, space combat, length of story). Also if you think TOR looks like Clone Wars, you need your damn eyes checked! It's stylized sure, but not even close to the cartoon version of Clone Wars whose style was directly lifted and put into CG from the cel animated series.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:12 PM
Ok I understand if the game was bad to say something but to honestly just spend the whole time complaining about how you like the original trilogy better is a waste of a preview. I have read quite a few reviews on this site and usually they show both sides of the coin. This preview makes it look like the game is crap from the get go and there is nothing appealing at all. So maybe next time G4 gets someone to preview a game it should be someone who will actually note both the pros and cons and not just their negative opinions.
Seriously though go troll about how jedi have lightsabers somewhere else thats the way it is.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:11 PM
"So you could play the game for 100 hours with a Jedi Knight, then start over as a bounty hunter" This goes along way in forming my opinion!
Pointing out mechanics and playstyle of a game doesn't make Jeff's preview biased/negative. It seems to me that to many of you so what this game to be epic, that you refuse to hear anything that would give reason to be wary of the game. I love Star Wars IP stuff and Bioware is an amazing company. But I won't be blinded by them.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:09 PM
Aren't Previews to be about what the writer has learned about the game? I'm not understanding the need to interject this negativity and mistrust over an unreleased product. This isn't because it's Bioware or Star Wars, either. I would ask the same of any product being previewed in this manner. If this were a REVIEW of the final game, I could understand. And lets also make something clear. In the beginning of 'Galaxies', NO ONE could be a Jedi or Sith. You had to work a very long and at times difficult path to have a force using class open for your character. Becoming a Jedi/Sith was the ultimate reward in the game. But many people complained about this. Eventually, SOE gave in. THAT is when the game went south. So don't blame the game for what happened to Galaxies. Blame it's user base. With SWTOR, it's set in a time in the SW universe where there were tons of Jedi/Sith running around. I hope more people understand this.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:06 PM
meh I'm not too worried about this guy's impression(I'm hesitant to call this a review). He's a freelance writer so it's much more likely that G4 hired him just because of the sheer scope of the convention. But since SWTOR is a high profile title I'd rather have seen a article by Leah Jackson or Casey Schreiner(I know he doesn't write articles but I'd really like to see his perspective on things). Really any of the regular G4 MMO or RPG article writers would have been better that Jeffrey here.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:05 PM
Maybe if he hadn't said things like, "for better or worse, this will be the first fully voiced MMO" the bias wouldn't be so obvious. Seriously? Fully voiced is clearly, unarguably better in this situation.Posted: June 8, 2011 3:01 PM
"Hopefully other choices won't be as blatantly black and white."
You've never played a bioware game I take it?
Stop messing with the previewer guys.Posted: June 8, 2011 2:38 PM
coolcoollo's comment is abusive and has been removed.Posted: June 8, 2011 2:35 PM
I'm fine with unbiased reviews but this was negatively biased from the start. Not very good journalism. It's like asking a prison inmate with a life sentence to review his sentencing. YUCK!Posted: June 8, 2011 2:17 PM
I'll try not to be too judgmental here but this preview seems pointless and obviously rushed. I understand a game not giving a great first impression, but this is an MMO. It's not about first impressions, it's about a persistent world and long term gameplay.
I don't want to belittle this reviewer's opinion as it's difficult to write about such a large game with so little experience with it. I do, however, wish that he focused on game features rather than art style and his personal opinions on the IP before even touching the game.
Again, I really don't see the point of this preview.Posted: June 8, 2011 2:15 PM

Sam Fischer '12, Hitter
When the LMU softball season ended April 29, Sam Fischer held the highest batting average, .492, in NCAA Division 1 softball.
Published: May 7, 2012
By LMU Magazine staff
Senior shortstop Sam Fischer is the greatest hitter in LMU softball history. She is the all-time home run and RBI leader in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference, and she's on track to finish as LMU's career leader in home runs, RBIs and batting average. That would make Fischer a career Triple Crown holder. We asked about her hitting secrets. She was interviewed by Editor Joseph Wakelee-Lynch
"My approach is to be selectively aggressive, to swing hard at good pitches. Even the best pitchers, like Blaire Luna of Texas, throw one good pitch in every at bat, because they need a strike to get ahead of the batter. You never know when that pitch is going to come, so you have to be ready all the time."
"In softball, pitchers' release points are important. When I'm at the plate, I don't look at the pitcher's face or glove, I look at her hip. I call it the 'window.' That's the only thing I'm looking at. When I'm zoned in, I see the ball the whole way, from the pitcher's hand to my bat. I never take my eyes off it."
"I take hundreds of swings a week to perfect my swing. I've been doing it with my dad since I was 10. It's hard to work on the things that you're not very good at. If you only work on your strengths, that's when your weaknesses develop."
"My favorite is a one-handed drill. I use a little bat, and I first swing with one hand, then the other. In another drill, I turn my lower body as
if my swing is already finished, then swing. That drill makes me aware of how the core of my body pushes through the whole swing."
"There isn't any one pitch. Some girls don't like the outside pitch, but I really like hitting that pitch. My record-breaking home run was on a one-and-two count, and the pitcher tried to pitch me outside. I know the Utah Valley coach, and he said, 'Where are we supposed to throw to you? You're hitting it everywhere.'"
"Mariano Rivera. If I could get a hit off him, I could quit playing. And Danielle Lawrie, who now plays professional fastpitch softball. I faced her in the fifth game of my college career when she pitched for the University of Washington, and I struck out three times. I just want another shot at her."

Stars over Los Angeles
Whenever I can locate the AFRTS-LA jocks I ask if they mind us sharing the programs. So far their reactions have been anywhere from excited to not believing that anyone would still care. So far everyone has said 'hey, why not' or better when I've asked. Thank you Charlie Tuna, Gene Price, Jim Pewter, LaRita Shelby, Chris Noel, the Wolfman Jack estate and I've probably left someone out. Thank you.

Elpida Memory, Japan's leading supplier of computer memory, said Tuesday it was close to begin making DDR2 SDRAM memory using its advanced process technology with the aim to address higher-end applications with 533MHz and 667MHz chips.
"Elpida strives to offer the industry stable production of high-performance DRAM products," said Yukio Sakamoto, president of Elpida Memory.
The company said mass production of DDR2 SDRAM at speeds of 533MHz and 667MHz using 0.10 micron fabrication process and 300mm wafers would begin in August, 2004. Earlier the memory firm produced its 1Gb and 512Mb DDR2 chips for servers using 0.11 micron process technology.
"Our ability to mass manufacture 0.10 micron DRAM enables us to meet increased demand for advanced DDR2 SDRAM as the industry transitions from DDR to DDR2 architecture," Mr. Sakamoto added.
High-speed dynamic random access memory chips are cheaper to produce using thinner manufacturing technology. 0.10 micron and more advanced processes are likely to enable more cost-effective DDR2 products at speeds of 533MHz and 667MHz, which is likely to speed up the transition to DDR2. Other leading memory makers, such as Samsung and Hynix, also tend to produce high-performance DDR2 products using 0.10 micron technology.
Elpida plans to increase production capacity of 0.10 micron-based products to more than 50% of their 300mm wafer line capacity by January 2005, the company said.

Just multiply by the given density of iron. Note that you're asked to find the weight, not the mass. Thus, you'll need also to multiply by g.
Can someone please help me with the following problem?
An iron pipe is 21 m long & its exterior diameter is 8 cm. If the thickness of the pipe is 1 cm & iron weight 8 g/cu.cm, find the weight of the pipe.
How do I do this? I have found the volume of the pipe by first finding the external volume, then the internal volume & then finding the difference but what do I do after that to find the weight?
I tried what you suggested but am not getting the correct answer. This is what I did:
External Volume=22*4*4*2100/7=105600 cu.cm
Internal Volume=22*3*3*2100/7=59400 cu.cm
Volume=105600-59400=46200 cu.cm
Weight (or mass...whatever it is)=46200*8=369600 gm=369.6 kg
But the answer is 92.4 kg.
Assuming it's a cylinder then, as for all prisms the volume is cross sectional area multiplied by length or . You may also have a unit mismatch - your length is in metres but the diameter is cm!
-- this is the whole cylinder
Edited this lineBy the same token: (you should see if you can figure out where this figure came from) -- this is the volume of empty air on the insde
Edited this lineHence the difference in volumes -- this is the volume taken up by the tube itself
The weight (your question erroneously uses kg to describe weight so they might mean find the mass) is given by
I don't get your answer but I can't see where I went wrong.
Edited - thanks to Ackbeet pointing out where I went wrong

There are a number of compelling reasons why tech-entrepreneurs in the SiliconCape should start their own non-profit. Firstly, most tech start-ups don't register as a company until they have developed their product. They typically grind away for at least six months to a year. One generally avoids the bureaucracy of having an entity until the foundations are in place. So why would starting a non-profit make any sense for someone trying to avoid the cumbersome nature of any enterprise other…Continue
