Understanding Physics: Student Guide
€ 60,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juli 2002
BeschreibungUnderstanding Physics is an innovative undergraduate course designed for students preparing to enter careers in fields outside of science or engineering, including students planning to teach, or already teaching, in K-12 classrooms. It is inspired by the famous Project Physics Course, which became known for placing the concepts of physics within the broader humanistic contexts in which they arose. The course materials comprise: - The textbook, which is divided into two parts that may be studied in either order; - This Student Guide, containing inquiry-based laboratory investigations and additional materials; - An Instructor Guide with examination questions, resources, and other helpful information. These components work together to provide an integrated educational experience in physics. The text contains questions designed to help students confirm what they have learned and to encourage them to explore further, by reading, by experimenting, and in group discussions. The inquiry -based laboratory investigations include in-depth explorations, student-designed inquiries, and text-related mini-laboratory explorations that may be used as hands-on activities or as demonstrations with student participation. The suggested equipment is deliberately "low tech" in order to afford students maximum experience with the phenomena. The apparatus is inexpensive and common to most instructional laboratories. Some ways to incorporate computer usage are suggested as students gain familiarity with the laboratory apparatus and methods.

PortraitGerald Holton ist Mallinckrodt Professor für Physik und Professor für Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften an der Harvard University. Er ist daneben Mitherausgeber der Gesammelten Werke von Albert Einstein und hat schon mehrere Bücher veröffentlicht, so z. B. "Themata" aus der Reihe "Facetten der Physik".
PressestimmenFrom the reviews:
"If a book is required which develops the basic concepts of physics in a detailed but completely readable and always interesting way from first principles, then this could certainly be a candidate. It uses the rather outdated historical approach to each chapter's material, but far from obscuring the important physical results, the approach as used here has been so carefully constructed that one is led to an understanding of the concepts without really noticing that one has arrived!" (Prof. F. W. Bullock, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 44 (6), 2003)

New Weapons and Fifth God Mentor???
I already posted a message about this but no one really replyed so i want to know if the game should add
daggers (Claw of Hades)
and spears (poseidons trident)
also at the start of the beta when your in the arena thing choosing a god between zues and ares (theres also hades and poseidon but there locked in beta) there is a fith stair case at the far right opposite of hades do you guys think there will be a fith god and if so who and what do you think about new weapon types ?
Re: New Weapons and Fifth God Mentor???
If they decided to add another God to the mix for multiplayer, I can only imagine it would be Apollo. I think it could be argued that he more than anyone is the closest to the 4 primary gods they already have to choose from. In most greek mythology, Apollo and Helios are actually synonomous with one another and eventually were thought to be one and the same. So if you have Zeus reigning over the sky, Poseidon the sea, Hades the underworld, along with Ares the god of war, then Apollo, god of the sun and light seems like the right fit to me. Hopefully a new God will arrive in the form of DLC somewhere down the line.
As far as a third primary weapon class to choose from, I can't imagine what else would work besides a spear. Anything else might render the game too unbalanced if the reach of the weapon is too long or short from say a bow or short-sword. My money is on the spear, seeing as how if you pre-order at Gamestop and get Leonidas, it says in the advertising that you "unlock his armor and SPEAR from 300."
Cool question though. I wondered the same thing when I went through the training and saw the open staircase. Glad someone brought it up. I'd love to hear other people's suggestions or predictions.
Re: New Weapons and Fifth God Mentor???
your probaby right but i rather helios than apollo cause apollo fights with a bow and the long range fighting would probably be really cheap and anoying and people are probably going to spam the hell out of th bow if they put apollo so my vote goes for helios who dosent want to be the personification of the sun
Re: New Weapons and Fifth God Mentor???
better yet what if it was say a titan this way they could have an enemy faction thats against both startans and trojens. And since the SP has the furries why not make it Oranose we havent seen him before. But if it were a god id say Heliose because you could have a perk where he blinds and stuns his foes with a blast of light.

You upgrade your crowbar to a super-ultra zap beam teleporter laser. You upgrade your armor from a Cheap Shirt to Full Plate With Fuzzy Trim And Spikes. Why wouldn't you upgrade your eyes IRL? See? You can't answer. Because you know we're right.
I see three 'Edge' products, but only one is listed with a color - Espresso. Can you shed any light on the colors of the other two? I suspect one will be a silver/chrome and the last a gunmetal/black, but cannot tell without a name update/specifics.

Thanks for spotting the differences.
I'm unsure as to the colors of the other two (since they're unspecified). I've forwarded a message to the staff to clear up the difference.
We'll post/change the info as soon as it arrives.
UPDATE: One is onyx and the other Ash. The sale has been updated. Thanks!
In the Edge versions. it looks like the first pair is copper frame with black ear pieces. Second pair is copper frame with brown ear pieces and the third is black frame with black ear pieces. I own four pair of Gunnar computer glasses and they are great wear them to work and they really take glare off and cut down my my "tired eye" feeling while working all night long.
I bought the e11vens when they were on Woot a few months ago. I've used them roughly a dozen times. I'm not sure I notice all that much difference in eye strain. I use them primarily for work, and the amount of time I spend on a computer can vary from all day (8 hours) to 5 or 6. But I don't notice much of a difference at the end of the day when wearing them.
Any details on sizing? My face/head is large. The descriptions and specifications are disappointingly lacking.
I've been using my Gunnars now for 6 months and have noticed a huge difference. I stare at a computer screen for 8-9hrs a day and used to suffer from headaches regularly. Now nothing! I just bought a back up pair in case anything happens to mine.
Would definitely recommend!
The mannequin head looks hawt.
Y'know, for polycarbonate. Or plastic. Or whatever.

Hi gavilandorado. You can view the sizes here:
vanuary wrote:Hi gavilandorado. You can view the sizes here:
Gavilandorado, some of those measurements are misleading and uninformative.
I previously purchased the MLG style Gunnars in a previous sale here on Woot. They seem like they would be great to use, however like you I have a larger than average head.
The MLGs absolutely will not fit despite the measurements here. The temple 'measurement' is linear, not taking into account that the MLG glasses have a very steep curve on them, essentially making them 'shorter' on your head (going from eyes back to your ears).
However, someone has recommended to me that the MLGs are not great but the Talon model are both better constructed and a better fit (as the temple arms are much straighter). I would even be purchasing a pair of Talons myself, but I'm still trying to unload these tiny MLG ones to get some of my money back from them...
I bought some Gunnar glasses a couple of month ago and only wear them occasionally. But sometimes when I feel like my eyes are strained already, I put them on and feel better about looking at the screen afterwards.
So to me they are not a permanent aid, but rather a hotfix when I need it.

Hi all,
I'm reaching the end of my running in period (finally!) and its time to do my first engine oil change from mineral to synthetic.
Kah Motor uses the standard Shell Helix Ultra, but I'm thinking of using my own engine oil. Any recommendations as to which engine oil I should use? Apart from viscosity, are there any differences between the leading brands?
Also, I've cut and pasted one of J-AP2's posts on this topic which I think should be stickied:
"Hi J,
I have a question which sounds silly.
For the gear fluid, rear diff oil & the engine oil, is there only a certain type of oil you use and are they a different type of oil? Which oil do you use? Do you buy the oil prior to servicing? Where can I buy them?
Well there are different oils that everyone uses. The original engine oil is of viscosity 10w-30, which is fine fer newer cars and if u dun track. The first number, which is cold viscosity, isn't that important in our climate. Pay more attention to the latter figure, which is hot viscosity. If u bring the car to track, pls switch to a 40, e.g. 10w-40 or 5w-40 etc. Sepang can get very hot, and too low a viscosity will break down faster due to the hot temps, robbing the oil of its lubricative properties. Orginal gearbox oil is Honda MTF, not too sure about its viscosity, I think it's 75w-85 or something. 75w-90 is the most common aftermarket gearbox oil viscocity used. Not too sure wot rating the oem diff oil is, but I would change it out as some guys in the US have done UOA on the stock diff oil if I remember correctly and results weren't very positive. On top of that, our rear really runs hot so using a 140 will be better when it heats up. 75w-140 is the common aftermarket viscosity used for our rear diff.
There are too many engine oils to list out but below are a few examples.
Mobil 1 0w-40 (Available at many workshops/petrol kiosk)
Amsoil 5w-30 (Not too sure who carries it, may have to order?)
Elf Excellium 5w-40 (Available @ a few workshops,I only know Uber carries it)
Motul 300V 5w-40 (Maximus Racing, Uber Garage, BMS etc etc)
Roar RS 5w-40 (U can get it directly thru me if u want)
Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 (Available at many workshops/petrol kiosk)
Royal Purple 5w-40 (Think LTM has it? Not too sure, may have to order)
The oils above were all ok except fer Shell Helix Ultra, I didn't like it at all. Personally I've been on the 300V fer the last few years. Currently my s2k is running on Roar RS. There is a thread on page 2 or somewhere on it.
Gearbox Oils
HKS Super Synthetic 75w-90 (Garage-R)
Motul Gear 300 75w-90 (Maximus Racing, Uber Garage, BMS etc)
There are many other gearbox oils around but the above 2 are wot I have used on the s2k. I prefer the Motul Gear 300 over the HKS, it generally gives better shift feel, both hot and cold. There are a couple of gear oils that I want to try but I've had problems getting them in the past and still haven't gotten them yet. Tried a GB before fer it and the GB failed.
Diff Oils
HKS Super Synthetic 75w-140 (Garage-R)
Motul Gear Competition 75w-140 (Maximus Racing, Uber Garage, BMS etc)
Similarly, these are the 2 I've used before and I prefer the Motul once again.
With regards to the fat PCX honda filter, do you buy them first or would the workshop definately have these in stock?
Many workshops might not have stock all the time, u could order a batch of them and keep stock. I think if u did a GB fer these, people will place orders too.
Note: Get an oil filter stopper done on yer ride. It doesn't cost much and goes a long way in terms of preventive action. A couple or more s2ks have blown their engines because of the oil filter coming loose on track.
I had mine done at Uber Garage and quite a few others have done the same as well.
Also, for the brake fluids, coolent & brake pads, just to check with you, is there a certain type of brake fluid and coolent to use? Should I buy my own prior to servicing? For the brands of the coolent & brake pads (for the 6 spot ones) which do you recommend?
Honda uses their OEM DOT3 brake fluid fer both brakes and clutch fluid in our rides. Coolant I would presume it's Honda OEM as well. I used to have a rather detailed brake fluid thread somewhere but I think it's gone.
U can change out the OEM DOT3 brake fluid, which has a rather low dry/wet boiling point to any of the following below:
Castrol SRF (Note: this is quite exp, it has the highest wet boiling point.)
Brembo LCF600 (Driven Performance and other shops)
Motul RBF 600 (Maximus Racing, Uber Garage, BMS etc etc)
Wedsport REV fluid (Garage-R)
AP Racing Super 600 (Not sure but there should be a few shops carrying it)
Project Mu G-Four (Stanford tires?)
HKS Super Brake Fluid (Garage-R)
All the brake fluids I listed above are above dot5.1 specs with high wet/dry boiling points. The RBF600 is a good choice to start with. I've used RBF600 many times and it does its job well. Currently I'm using the Wedsport REV, which is working great as well.
Dry Boiling Point Wet Boiling Point
DOT 3 401ºF 284º F
DOT 4 446º F 311º F
DOT 5 500º F 356º F
DOT 5.1 518º F 375º F
Above are minimum spec requirements to meet in terms of boiling point fer a brake fluid to be DOT classified.
The minimum temperatures that brake fluids will begin to boil when the brake system contains 3% water by volume of the system.
The temperatures that brake fluid will boil with no water present in the system "

I am 11 days post-op, submuscular, and fear I have been lifting too much weight. I was told no more then the weight of a gallon of milk. The problem: Prior to surgery I was extremely active and ran 6+ miles a day, uphill/mountain pushing 50 lbs of baby & stroller, as well as doing many pull ups on my pull up bar every other day. To me, lifting a gallon of milk is like picking up a pencil. It's very lightweight to me. So I have trouble gauging how much I am lifting. Could I have caused problems?
Have I Caused Damage by Lifting Too Much Weight?
Doctor Answers 6
Can lifting cause damage to my surgery
Normal activities will most likely have not long term effects on your breasts. Just be careful and avoid activities that make the breasts bounce up and down. Moderation of activities is the key after breast surgery. It is the repetitive bouncing up and down that you want to avoid. Also it helps to wear a well fitting bra.
Lifting After BA
Unless you are experiencing any pain, it is highly doubtful that you have negatively altered your results. Post op instructions are different for every case, but it is best to take your doctor's orders and slow down a little bit until your healing is done.

Have I Caused Damage by Lifting Too Much
It would be most unusual for you to have caused any problems if you are not aware of any at this point. It is more than likely that you would tolerate lifting a gallon of mile more readily than other lifting a quart. Your best resource for questions like this would be your own surgeon, who knows what was done and who knows you!
Thanks for your question, and best wishes. (And don't take this reassurance as a licence to do more than you should).
Damage by lifting too much weight
It is very unlikely that you have damaged anything. You are probably very sore and recovering from surgery.
Can my breast augmentation result be altered by lifting to much weight?
Breast augmentation behind the muscle always is more lifestyle altering in the beginning than anyone expects. The goal you and your surgeon have is for everything to heal into position properly so that you have the best possible result. Things are usually swollen the first 1 to 2 weeks. The muscle during that time can be swollen and cramp up at times. This is not muscle soreness like workout soreness that can be or should be pushed through. This is from your surgery and needs some time to heal. I just limit the amount of upper body excercise in the beinning. So no benchpressing or other upper body exercises that would not cause your petoralis muscle to tighten up. I don't mind my patients using the treadmill or exercise bikes provided they use good sports bras.

Hi Ronnie
Do you know where I can find a copy of a pdf instruction sheet for removing the rear door panels on my E46.
Boostist listed one a few messages ago but it was only for the front door of a coupe (E46) will this be the same instruction for a (46 Touring)
If you can help it would be appreciated thanks Martin
There's a good write up in the Bentley workshop manual if I remember rightly. I believe Boostist or Ronnie have a link for the download... I've used it a few times but i've got a copy of the disc not the downlaod version.
There are a couple of links if you google Bentley bmw manual download
Great writeup Bootist. Just replaced my passenger side wing mirror om my 318ci using this guide to the letter.perfect
Many thanks
The door mirror has been snapped off my E46 convertible so I turned to Google to see if there was help out there....
As a result I've landed on this thread and become a member of Bimmerforums. Hey Presto! Here's a guide which gives all the help I needed to avoid breaking anything! Many thanks indeed to Boostist for the guide which looks perfect - if I don't report back you know it was 100% right.
OK, job's done! One point I will add - when you go to bolt the new mirror to the door there are NO THREADS in the new mirror. The bolts are a kind of "self tapping" screw which cuts its own thread. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN or you will strip the aluminium and be in real trouble with a damaged and very expensive new mirror housing. To see how tight it should be fitted, wiggle the mirror the other side of the car and you can feel how much play there should be.
Thanks again!
Quick thanks to the OPs for the detailed guide. I had a "close encounter" of the wing mirror kind a couple of days ago. Nothing obviously broken, until I looked and saw the mirror plate mounting ring on the actuator was missing - along with the racks that engage with the motors.
Long story short - only way to re[place that is a new actuator assembly (£147!)- however the new one, while it works, has an extra ribbon cable in addition to that for the mirror heating. I guess it is a universal part and is for some other feature mine doesn't have or wasn't available when it was originally made.
all i have to say on this subject is HOLY FUCK its got 24k views!
Boostist - Thank you kindly. Explained very well and helped me greatly

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by Davandy, Sep 1, 2005.
It is so quiet on the forum the last couple of days.
I don't know where everyone lives.
I was in Mississippi, about 90 miles north of the coast, when I took my trip last week.
We almost went into New Orleans on our way back. I have never been there, but I said that I would get back some day in the future. I guess not.
My wife's father and his wife and their son live about 10 miles from the Mississippi gulf coast that was destroyed in the hurricane. He was in Italy working, they were at home, we have heard that they are allright, trying to leave the area and get to Texas to stay with some family. I have to assume that their house is destroyed.
Wow, that sucks. Any news?
Yeah, we've heard back from them that their house appears to be ok. The roof is gone, a window or two was broken out ... no power and no water though. They have about 20 relatives staying with them in their house because they all lost their homes.
Separate names with a comma.

White will fire back with lawsuit
Ex-county employee says he was target of a political plot by commissioner Mary Zemke and othersNews Editor
May 7, 2003 — Dave White, the former county employee who recently was cleared of allegations that he had sexual relationships with three mental health clients, says he intends to sue Jefferson County.
White says he was the target of a plot by former county mental health employees, BestCare workers and Commissioner Mary Zemke to get him ousted from his position.
"I just think this was way, way over the line," said White, who once served as the county's mental health director before that position was dissolved. "This shouldn't be allowed to go unnoticed and people who do this shouldn't be unaccountable for their actions."
On Jan. 28, the Jefferson County Commission voted 3-0 to place White on administrative leave pending an investigation into allegations Zemke said were brought to her attention by mental health clients.
After a three-month investigation, a state investigations office found those allegations "unsubstantiated."
Zemke says she stands by her decision to have the matter investigated because the allegations brought to her attention were serious.
Further, she said public testimony and the investigation itself raised several additional concerns about White that wouldn't constitute him being exonerated.
"Exonerated is not the same as unsubstantiated," Zemke said. "I've read the entire report and I think exonerated is much too strong of a word to use."
According to a four-page public document from the Oregon Office of Investigations and Training, the three alleged victims each denied having a sexual relationship with White.
"The reports didn't come from those people, but others," said Eva Kutas, director of the office of investigations and training.
In one case, a state investigator could not determine the source of the allegation. In the other two, the supposed witness who came forward with the claim of sexual abuse was described as "questionable."
White's job was eliminated by the commissioners in a cost-cutting move on April 3, while he still was on paid administrative leave.
He said he supports that decision based on its financial merits, but feels that he was defamed by the allegations and believes his civil liberties may have been violated.
"Based on the information I have, Mary used this as a political platform," White said. "Basically, it comes down to individual people coming to me saying she made campaign promises to get me fired once she got in office."
Zemke denies that claim, and said her only motivation was doing the right thing. She said the county would have been irresponsible to not at least look into what it was being told.
"You've got to realize, I don't know Dave White," Zemke said. "I have never even had a conversation with him."
Public spectacle
At the time White was placed on leave, he was serving a dual role as director of the adult community corrections and developmental disabilities departments. He also managed the contract between the county and BestCare, a private nonprofit corporation that provides the county's mental health services by contract.
A week after the allegations were raised, several individuals showed up at the county commission's regular meeting unannounced, offering public testimony critical of White and blasting the county for not taking action sooner.
The standing-room-only crowd of former county mental health employees and clients criticized White as a horrible people manager, a terrible counselor with clients and someone who had a pattern of seeking retribution when confronted with possible wrongdoings.
At that impromptu hearing, Cathy Howes-Yates, a client, said White enabled her to continue using drugs by illadvisedly giving her her money.
"As a drug addict, he took care of me," Howes-Yates said at the time.
And Peggy Adams, the volunteer administrative coordinator of the Determination Social Center, a self-run, self-help group for mental health clients, told the commissioners: "We deal every day with Dave White's screw ups."
Now, those two and others who receive support at the DSC are saying they were pressured by White's enemies — including former employees under his supervision and Zemke — to make those statements publicly and cooperate with investigators.
"Everybody wanted me to say I had sex with Dave White and I did not," said Howes-Yates, who revealed that she is one of the alleged victims. "I feel like we were tricked into this situation."
Said Adams: "You've got to understand, we're not crazy about Dave White. I believe he's probably his own worst enemy, but as far as inappropriate relationships go none of us knew anything.
"BestCare had always wanted Dave White out of the picture."
Zemke, BestCare and Jefferson County also are now the targets of animosity by DSC members because the lines of communication between their independent organization and the county have deteriorated. DSC clients agreed last week to move out of their facility near the hospital after their landlord served an eviction notice for not paying rent, and they believe some state mental health funds granted to Jefferson County belong to them, not BestCare.
Zemke said she didn't coerce anyone to testify against White, and the allegations were corroborated by clients.
"I don't understand why they're changing their mind, but I haven't talked to them," said Zemke. When asked, she declined to speculate on whether DSC's financial situation has anything to do with its client's sentiments.
Commission chairman Walt Ponsford said conducting the investigation into White was the right thing to do. He said he began learning of many grievances individuals had against White well before he and Zemke were elected in November.
"The accusations were made by many people and we by law were required to investigate and that's what we did," Ponsford said. "And right now we still have upset people."
The three-page report on the investigation into White noted that despite no substantiated evidence of sexual abuse, several concerns were raised regarding his financial responsibilities and "a number of witnesses expressed a fear of retaliation for providing information to this investigator."
The recent state investigation into White was not the first. In August 2001, the state substantiated three of five allegations against White: That he had violated state foster home administrative rules in two cases of verbal mistreatment and in one instance of neglect.
The state told the county to provide White training on therapeutic relationships with mental-health clients and to place him under clinical supervision.
The previous county commission stripped him of his role as mental health director, prohibited him from having contact with clients and reassigned him to the job he had before it was eliminated last month.
Commissioner Bill Bellamy said the latest uproar over White was partially a product of bad communication the previous time he was brought up on allegations.
"These people had strong concerns and they felt they'd been ignored," Bellamy said. In regard to the unsubstantiated allegations, Bellamy said: "I don't want to comment on that. That needs to come from Mary."
White said he will send a tort notice to the county soon. He said he's been told by several people that Zemke, former county employee Mark Levno and others recently had a party to celebrate his departure.
"Mary was carrying on her own investigation and this is not the way commissioners are supposed to act," White said. "I think she should be held accountable."

You are herecontent / US working on multiple kill vehicle
US working on multiple kill vehicle
From Herald Sun
WEAPONS maker Lockheed Martin has tested a hovering robot intended to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles.
Video of the December 2 flight test of the "Multiple Kill Vehicle," at Edwards Air Force Base in California, has made it onto YouTube, and it looks like something out of the Terminator movies. [Click on link above to watch the video.]
Inside a large steel cage, Lockheed's MKV lifts off the ground, moves left and moves right, rapidly firing as flames shoot out of its bottom and sides, FOXNews reports.
The MKVs would be mounted on carrier missiles which would take them into space to engage enemy nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles at the peak of their trajectory arcs, The Pentagon said.
The MKVs would then break off from the carrier vehicles and shoot at enemy warheads with big bullets, "kinetic interceptors" in military-speak, before dropping back down to Earth.
Rival defence contractor Raytheon was working on its own multiple kill vehicle program, the US Missile Defence Agency said.

Every caretaker of a car should take steps to make sure their car is preserved in the best possible manner, if nothing else for future generations. After all, we're all here on this earth for a short period of time and it is up to us to make sure future generations will have the "real deal" to peruse after we are gone. This always begins with the facility in which the vehicle is stored. It does not have to be the Taj Mahal but should be dry, secure, and free from pests. I will touch on each of these subjects in this article.
A concrete floor is a must, in my opinion, but there is a problem with concrete. It will release moisture up under your car unless you take steps to protect your car from that release of moisture. I do the following: I first lay down a layer of Visqueen, a heavy duty plastic sheet, as a moisture barrier. I tape it down on all four sides with heavy duty tape directly to the floor. This is your first layer of defense from moisture. Secondly, I go to the carpet store and ask them if they have any end of rolls or leftovers they want to get rid of cheap. Usually they are happy to make a few bucks on something they otherwise would have to pay to throw out in the trash. I place the carpet on top of the Visqueen, taping it down also. I now have my foundation complete and any moisture from the concrete is contained and unable to reach the underside of the car.
The next thing to consider is the environment in which the car is stored. It should be temperature controlled, both summer and winter. Yes, I air condition my building and some say that is overkill but remember we are trying to prevent moisture from attacking any and all surfaces of the car, not just the underside. Humidity control is the key in preservation and to control humidity, you must also control the temperature; otherwise your car will attract moisture from the air much like a cold bottle of pop will on a humid day. I also use a dehumidifier in my situation to keep the air as dry as possible. Ohio is known for having high humidity during certain times of the year and I have to, in those times, further control the humidity with the dehumidifier. In winter, the building is heated, again to control temperature swings and prevent the formation of water on the surfaces of the car. In winter, the outside air is generally dryer and it is much easier to control the humidity in your storage area. When air is heated, it tends to dry out, but if you allow the air to become too dry, bad things can also happen like seals and weather-stripping will become aged. For that reason, everyone should have a hygrometer, or humidity gauge, in your storage building. You should have between 35% and 50% humidity in the building on a year-round basis and in some times of the year you may actually have to introduce some humidity into the facility by leaving out a pan of water or sprinkling the floor (not covered by your "foundation") with water in order to raise the relative humidity inside.
Pest control is another consideration as vermin such as mice will attack your car damaging everything in their wake. Moth balls, slices of Irish Spring soap, Bounce dryer sheets are all common methods of dealing with mice. I have never found those ultrasonic plug-in-the-wall things to work, so save your money on them. There are other kinds of pests…the two legged variety, who will do things we don't even want to think about. All those people with a valuable car should consider a central station alarm system. They are not very expensive, but do require a monthly fee for monitoring that is very reasonable for the peace of mind it gives. Most alarm companies will install an alarm system at very little cost as they really make their money in the monitoring fees. I, for example, pay about $30 per month to have my entire home and building monitored for both fire and break-in. Most people spend more than a dollar a day on a pop from a vending machine, so use that money to protect your belongings. Report your alarm system to your auto and homeowners insurance company. There are discounts available for having a central station reporting alarm system installed. One more thing on alarm systems, have the alarm company install a cellular backup instead of solely depending on the telephone line to dial the monitoring station. This only costs a few dollars more per month, but if the bad guy clips your phone line, you're still covered.
Now, on to car covers. I have used everything from a 100% cotton cover to storage bags to "bubbles". If you are going to just use a cover, the best one's out there now are made by Covercraft and use a material called Dustop. The covers using the Dustop material will prevent dust and other nasty things from going through the cover and laying on the painted surface of your car. They are NOT waterproof, so you still need to use care with anything "wet" around the car (brake fluid, gasoline, etc) but they will prevent dust from going through the cover like a cotton cover will allow. Cotton covers are "old tech" dust bags and should not be used as a barrier on your car. They can cause more harm than good.
The next type of cover is a bag. You simply unzip the bag, drive your car in, throw in a couple of bags of desiccant and zip it back up. Their advantage is they are very portable and can be used even away from your storage facility such as at a car show, to protect your investment. Mice don't seem to like them and they will completely seal off your car. Once your car is inside, you should not open the bag up until you are ready to drive the car again. For that reason, showing off your pride and joy to friends and family is not very easy once the car is inside and tucked away.
The last type of cover isn't really a cover at all, it's a bubble. I use a bubble on each of my GSX's to protect them from all kinds of trouble. They are clear plastic with a "basement" made of heavy duty material that not only protects the top of your car, but also the undercarriage from moisture from the concrete it sits upon. They use a small electric fan that keeps the plastic from touching the surface and also allows air to circulate in and around your car. The manufacture advises that you keep your windows down and trunk lid ajar to allow the air to freely circulate. Friends and family can view your trophy through the clear plastic without you having to unzip. The car is also protected from small objects that may be accidentally dropped on the car; they simply bounce off the bubble! The manufacture advertises than you can drop a 5 pound sledgehammer on the bag and it will not touch the car or cause damage to the bubble…I personally have not tested this theory but can say for certain that handles from leaf rakes, shovels, etc. that have been accidentally dropped will bounce off and not strike the car inside. They use less than 25 cents of electricity per month to keep the small fan running and the bubble inflated. Mice do not like the vinyl it is made from, so they leave the car inside alone.
Two last things: Batteries and gasoline. By now, everyone has heard of Sta-bil gasoline stabilizer. Use it. The gasoline today will go stale in as little as 3 months or less and cause real harm to your tank and fuel system. If you do not "use up" the gas in your tank in one year, remove the fuel and use it in your lawn mower or something else and re-fill your tank with fresh fuel and Sta-bil. This should be done at least on an annual basis for cars not driven enough to use the fuel in the tank.
Batteries. DO NOT KEEP YOUR BATTERIES IN THE CAR WHILE THEY ARE STORED!! You should remove the battery from the car and attach it to some type of maintainer. I use the Battery Minder brand that keeps the battery at full charge and also desulphates the battery while it is stored. Sulphation is the leading cause of battery failure and the Battery Minder is the only charger/maintainer on the market today that will desulphate the plates of your battery.
There you have it. This is exactly what I do and my cars were restored now over 10 years ago and look as good today as they did when they first rolled out of Dave Kleiner's shop. If you follow the simple steps above, your car will look as good in 10 years as it looks today!

MBA Job Outlook ImprovingAlison Damast
This year's class of MBAs arrived on campus in September expecting a challenging fall recruiting season and now many are bracing themselves for an even tougher spring ahead. One of them is Aashini Shah, an MBA student looking for a job in the entertainment industry, who is feeling the pressure because most movie studios and entertainment companies don't hire until the spring. To get an edge, she's spent every spare moment she has networking with alumni, going on informational interviews, and keeping in touch with the contacts she made last summer, she says.
"It is slightly nerve-wracking now in the sense that there are only going to be so many positions available and that there are many people from the class of '09 that are still unemployed," says Shah, 29, a second-year student at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business (Marshall Full-Time MBA Profile), who interned at Disney (DIS) last summer. "Not only will you be vying with your own classmates, but you are vying with the class behind you for the same job."
With uncertainty about the economic recovery looming, students trying to secure full-time offers are entering a job climate that looks eerily similar to last year's brutal MBA job market, career services officers say. Compounding the problem, fewer second-year students came back this fall with full-time job offers from their internships, they say, making an already tight job market even more competitive. This fall, recruiters continued to shy away from campus and many are being cautious about hiring, according to a recent survey of 78 business schools by the MBA Career Services Council (MBA CSC), the umbrella group for business school career placement officers. Recruiting remains down, with 79% of schools reporting a decline in on-campus recruiting for full-time MBA jobs in the fall of 2009, the same number as the previous year. To assist students, career services officers are using many of the same tactics they used last year to dig up jobs. They're cold-calling recruiters, adding executives in residence to counsel MBAs, and tapping into alumni networks. Meanwhile, they're preparing students to seize on what they believe could be a last-minute flood of job opportunities that they expect will emerge closer to graduation.
Encouraging Signs
At the same time, there are a number of signs that the MBA job market could improve, albeit slightly, in the coming months and a growing sense of optimism prevails among career services officers, says Kip Harrell, president of the MBA CSC. According to his group's survey, full-time MBA job postings appear to be rebounding; 34% of schools reported an increase in full-time postings this fall. And, perhaps even more important, fewer schools are reporting declines, with 48% of schools seeing a reduction in full-time postings, as compared with 70% of schools last year.
The still-shaky job market is a bitter pill for many MBA students, who came to B-school 18 months ago in the hope that the recession would be long gone by graduation and are now finding that it isn't. The surge in B-school applications at the start of the downturn was one of the biggest on record, as many fled the uncertainty of the job market for what they viewed as a surefire career boost and six-figure salary. Today, that all seems like a cruel joke, but on campus a fragile optimism prevails. "We are seeing signs that the economy is turning around, so the mood at business schools now is that everyone is waiting with lots of hope," says Harrell.
Another bright spot is that internship opportunities for first-year students may be bouncing back. In the survey by the MBA CSC, 31% of career services officers say they expect internship recruiting activity to be down, while 33% expect it to be up and 36% expect it to be flat. Last year at this time, 62% of career services officers said they expected internship activity to be down.
"It is definitely an improvement over last year," says Harrell, vice-president for professional and career management at the Thunderbird School of Global Management (Thunderbird Full-Time MBA Profile). "We do expect the internship process to run longer than usual this year, with some just-in-time internships coming up going into the summer."
Many first-year students came into business school this fall anticipating that it would be difficult to land an internship, says Joyce Rothenberg, director of the Career Management Center at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management (Owen Full-Time MBA Profile). With fewer recruiters visiting campus, she encouraged her first-year students to attend national MBA conferences this fall, venues where they would get exposure to a larger cohort of companies. Some students decided to take her advice; she had a group of 25 first-year students go to the National Society of Hispanic MBAs Conference this fall, some of whom were able to secure job leads and internship offers, she says.
"I think my first-year students were expecting it to be tough, so they've been more creative about their internship searches," she says.
"Cautiously Optimistic"
On the full-time job front, career services officers say they are encouraged by small signs of progress. Michelle Antonio, director of MBA career management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School (Wharton Full-Time MBA Profile), says she has seen double-digit growth in off-campus job postings on the school's job board, despite a slight decline in the number of employers that came to campus this fall. Another encouraging sign? More second-year students appear to have accepted full-time job offers now than last year at this time; of those, many have come from on-campus recruiting opportunities, she notes.
"I think it definitely looks and feels healthier than it did last year," she says. "I'm cautiously optimistic that come spring, things will look better than they did last year."
At the Marshall School, on-campus recruiting has been down about 15% to 20% so far this academic year, says Pete Giulioni, executive director of Marshall's Keenan MBA Career Resource Center. With tighter budgets, some recruiters are taking a different approach to finding talent, he says. For example, rather than come to campus, recruiters with openings are calling him directly and asking him to send them a package of student résumés.
"The spigot hasn't been turned off, so to speak, but employers are being much more cautious and very deliberate about their hiring and hiring patterns," he says.
Ken Keeley, executive director of the Career Opportunities Center at Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business (Tepper Full-Time MBA Profile), has been keeping a close eye on the MBA hiring scene. He runs a program on his computer every Friday that tracks job and internship placement figures for students. As of Jan. 22, there were 71 companies that made full-time offers to second-year MBA students, the same number as last year, Keeley says. But of this year's second-year class, 44% have received job offers, down from 61% last year, said Keeley, noting that those numbers are slightly skewed because this year's graduating MBA class has 43 additional students.
"We've Hit the Employment Bottom"
Meanwhile, starting salaries are down slightly, with offers now averaging $103,382, down about $700 from last year. Says Keeley: "My take would be that we've hit the employment bottom, unless something dramatically changes in the next few months."
Like many career services officers, he's expecting that there will be more recruiters who will want to interview students come March and April. And he's aggressively taking steps to ensure that students get a chance to meet with them, organizing the school's first-ever spring break career fairs in New York and San Francisco this March.
"We're going to try to capture some of that just-in-time recruiting activity by going back to the New York and West Coast markets on our own," he says. "There will still be a lot of good students available in March, April, and May, so we are going to make it as easy as possible for companies that might want to recruit students."
Career services directors' hunches may not be so far off. Nearly 70% of MBA recruiters expect that their business will improve in 2010, according to a recent survey of 317 employers conducted by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), which administers the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Meanwhile, more than one-third of employers, 35%, said they plan to hire more recent MBA graduates in 2010 than they did in 2009, while 45% say they plan to hire the same number of MBAs this year and only 20% say they expect to reduce MBA hiring. A year ago, the estimates were far more downbeat, with only 19% of employers surveyed by GMAC predicting an increase in MBA hiring.
Busy Spring Expected
Recruiters say they are in the midst of finalizing their employment projections for the year, but many expect a busy spring hiring season ahead.
Susan Shald, director of talent sourcing for Gallup Inc.'s consulting division, says she expects her firm to continue to hire MBA students this spring, especially in key areas like business development. While the firm has cut back on some "less significant campus visits" in the last year, she says she's moving forward with plans to visit several schools this spring, including the Marshall School, the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business (Haas Full-Time MBA Profile) and the UCLA Anderson School of Management (Anderson Full-Time MBA Profile).
"I think the fall was a bit tighter, but I am seeing things pick up a bit. We are seeing an increase in need for our services and, as a result, we have more postings," she says.
Ann Nowak, director of recruiting for professional programs at Liberty Mutual Group Inc. (LMG), the policyholder-owned property and casualty insurer, says her company is also still hiring, but that the competition for the company's openings is stiff. Unlike some recruiters, Nowak says she has not cut back on her recruiting schedule at all this year. Rather, she has used this fall's quiet recruiting season as an opportunity to introduce more students to her company and, as a result, has done more work with the company's core schools.
"We have more opportunities, but the flip side is that we are seeing a tremendous uptick in the number of applications for positions," says Nowak, noting that her company is receiving about 1,000 résumés a day for job openings, up from 350 a day last year. "MBA students have always had to be really good, but now you have to be even better in how you approach the company."
Staying on Recruiters' Radar
That's advice that many MBA students still looking for jobs are taking seriously as they continue their job hunts. Christopher McFall, a second-year MBA student at the Wharton School, is looking for a job in the real estate industry, a sector that has been particularly hard-hit by the economic downturn. He was able to secure a paid internship at a real estate firm in New York last summer—most of his peers had to take unpaid ones—but did not receive a full-time offer after the internship.
Most real estate companies don't hire until the spring, so he has been trying to stay on recruiters' radar in the meantime, says McFall, co-president of Wharton's Real Estate Club. He typically goes to New York at least twice a month to meet with companies, and last week attended a real estate career fair on campus. There were about 40 to 50 recruiters at the fair, down from last year's 70. Many of the recruiters encouraged him to keep in touch, but told him they are not hiring yet; others said they were still not clear on their needs.
Despite the uncertainty, McFall says he is still determined to pursue his dream job—as an acquisition manager at a large property owner—even if it takes him a little longer than he'd like.
"I would say I have good days where I feel great about what I'm doing and I have bad days when I wake up and think about all my friends who have concrete plans for next year and panic a little bit," he says. "But the more I talk with people and the more meetings I have with professionals in my industry, the better I feel about waiting it out."

Shailene Woodley: Time Twisted My Words On Feminism — LISTEN HERE!
Shailene Woodley clarified her comment to Time magazine that she wasn't a feminist because she loves men in an interview with Entertainment Weekly Radio.
The actress explained, "Listen, I think the that word feminist is beautiful just in the same way that I think the word Democrat or Republican or whatever you are is beautiful, but any sort kind of label in my mind segregates."
When asked if she thinks the word "feminism" means that you don't love men, Woodley answered, "not at all." "That was a journalist who decided to take what I said and cut things together in order to get her point across, so no not at all," she continued. "That's not the way I said it in the original interview, which is why it makes me laugh really hard."
Woodley added, "For me, the big thing in life is about sisterhood… Bringing sisters together and supporting one another… What I found so funny and so sad about that article is that I talked about that the entire time."
What do you think of Woodley's explanation?

As in, how many dogs can a person legally keep in one house?
It depends. In my city, you may own up to four dogs over the age of six months. Above that, you need to get a kennel license. I have no idea what is involved in getting one, though.
You should look up your own city or county codes on the matter.

I have been using it since January.I wash the car about once a week with it.It has some sort of wax in it & leaves a nice shine.
All you need are 2 buckets(5gal from Home Depot),a wash mitt(not sponge),2 grit guards & micro fiber cloth & 4 gallons of water divided equally in the 2 buckets.
Mix 2 ounces of ONR in 2 gallons of water in one bucket,and use 2 gallons of water in your other bucket to clean the mitt once it gets dirty.The more dirt you are cleaning off,the more you need to rinse the cloth to avoid swirling your paint.

By Chris Joyner, USA TODAY
BYRAM, Miss. Kathy Adkins moves from target to target, firing with deadly efficiency a .38-caliber revolver and then a 9mm semiautomatic pistol at human-shaped targets.
Adkins, 48, owns a real estate firm in nearby Jackson and has been taking firearms training since March. Instructor Cliff Cargill says she's among the new students he has racked up since the Legislature passed a law last year giving citizens expanded legal rights to protect themselves in their homes, cars or businesses.
The "Castle Doctrine " law removes the requirement that citizens first must seek a safe retreat from an intruder before using deadly force. Similar laws have passed in 19 other states in two years, in large part because of lobbying by the National Rifle Association (NRA).
A recent spate of shootings in Jackson, the capital, has reinvigorated public discussion of the law. In one week in late September and early October, four Jackson homeowners fired shots at four suspected burglars. Two of the suspected intruders were killed and a third was injured.
Only one of the homeowners in those shootings — a convicted felon who is not allowed to own a firearm — faces criminal charges. Jackson police spokesman Cmdr. Lee Vance says virtually every local news account about the shootings mentioned the Castle Doctrine law.
"Whether it was a factor … or not, it's getting a lot of credit," he says.
Loaded questions
That's what critics of the law and anti-gun advocates are afraid of. They say it promotes violence and weakens police powers.
Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, says the measure bucks a long trend in American law toward reduced public violence dating back to the taming of the West.
"Do we want to kill every 16-year-old kid we find stealing a car stereo?" he says.
The NRA says the principle behind the law is more basic.
"We want to make sure that in America the right to self-defense continues to exist and that the American citizen's home remains his castle," says NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre.
Stories behind statistics
While it might be too early to tell if the laws have had an impact on justifiable shootings, FBI statistics show 241 justifiable homicides by private citizens in 2006. That's a 23% increase over the previous year, but that is fewer than the 247 killed in 2003 before the NRA push began. Overall, Department of Justice records show a 13% decrease in justifiable homicides over the past decade.
Mississippi isn't the only state making news over the Castle Doctrine law.
Last week, Joe Horn, 61, of Pasadena, Texas, shot and killed two men that he told a police dispatcher were burglarizing his neighbor's home, according to a transcript of the tape.
Bill Delmore, legal services bureau chief for the Harris County District Attorney's office, says it is too early to speculate.
"One issue is going to be whether the so-called Castle Doctrine law applies to a neighbor's home," he says, adding that the state has other laws governing self-defense and the protection of property that might apply. A grand jury will decide if charges will be filed against Horn.
Also in Texas, the Associated Press reported in September that Dallas musician Carter Albrecht was shot and killed when he tried to kick in the door of his girlfriend's neighbor. The shooting happened just days after the state passed its Castle Doctrine law.
Dallas police Sgt. Larry Lewis says no charges are being pursued against the shooter.
Mike Snider, a Dallas concert promoter who knew Albrecht, says Albrecht had been drinking and arguing with his girlfriend and might have banged on the wrong door. "There is no excuse for blindly shooting a gun in anyone's direction," he says. A number of people convicted of killings in Arizona are attempting to get their cases reheard by claiming the Castle Doctrine law in their state should retroactively apply to them.
Arizona lawmakers passed the law last year, then approved another measure over the summer that applied the Castle Doctrine statute to earlier cases. Gov. Janet Napolitano, however, vetoed the bill on the grounds it would reopen too many cases.
Advocates for retired Arizona schoolteacher Harold Fish were behind the measure. Fish was convicted in 2006 of shooting a hiker Fish claims attacked him on a rural trail two years earlier. Fish was sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. His case is being appealed.
In all, the Brady Campaign has noted at least nine shootings they believe to be inspired by Castle Doctrine laws or prosecutions complicated by them.
In one 2004 Kentucky case, where James Adam Clem beat to death a man to whom he owed drug money, prosecutors offered him a manslaughter plea. Clem claimed he felt threatened by the man after he let him into his apartment.
Prosecutors say they offered the deal fearing the state's Castle Doctrine law would confuse a jury.
George Washington University law professor Robert Cottrol says the Castle Doctrine law is a more incremental change than either side of the gun-control debate wants to admit. Realistically, he says, prosecutors have not been eager to prosecute people who truly act in self-defense.
"There is a fundamental feeling on the part of many that the aggressor should not profit and the person who is defending should not be held in legal jeopardy," he says.

The dirty war of words between TV divas Barbara Walters and Star Jones shows no sign of simmering down.
Walters has launched yet another scathing attack on her former View co-host, Star Jones.
Speaking to Larry King on his show on Monday, Walters took to the airwaves to respond to catty comments made by booted View co-host Jones last week.
Verbal barbs
Jones, responding to claims made about her in Walters' autobiography, said:
"It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character."
To which Walters replied: "I think [Star's] suffering now and that's why she's lashing out."
Walters claims in her new memoir that Jones had forced her and the rest of the View hosts to lie about her gastric bypass surgery - a claim that Jones has denied outright.
Before the proverbial hit the fan, Walters insists she was a fan of Jones.
"I was very fond of Star," Walters told King. "The network wanted to let her go. The ratings were going way down... It took her a long time to get a job.
"Poor woman, she's gone through so much," Walters added.
Miaow! Oh, the feud is so on between these two.
What tickles me is the way Babs comes out with the barbed comments in such a loving manner.
She's clearly been drinking from the bitchy bowl and taking notes from the ultimate cat fighter, Alexis Carrington...

Please watch, it's fascinating...
Brad's back tat
The blogosphere is buzzing with news that Brad Pitt has got himself a new tattoo.
What's got everyone gassing is its rather unusual nature.
Pitt inadvertently revealed the new tattoo while boarding a plane at Monaco airport this week.
Have a peek at the curious-looking tattoo here and here.
Various theories as to what the tattoo symbolisies range from it being a map of New Orleans, to random etchings drawn in felt pen by one of his kiddies.
But this particular theory happens to be my favourite.

Crazy and the City
The gals of Sex and The City fame trotted their merry way down the red carpet at the movie's big premiere in London this week.
Aside from the fact that everyone's dumbfounded by the fact the premiere was hosted in London, not New York, the bigger question on everyone's lips is this: "WTF was that thing on Sarah Jessica Parker's head?"
I'm talking about this UFO .
She appears to be wearing a garden on her head. Either that or someone's regurgitated a brussell sprout in her general direction.
Listen to new tracks from the SATC movie soundtrack here and here.
Ooh and the first review of the movie is in. Not exactly complimentary, but that's only to be expected from a Times reviewer.

The Antipodean actress tells Britain's Glamour magazine, "I see someone's face, someone's body who has had children, and I think they're the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that? Death is not going to be any easier just because your face can't move."
Beyonce's 'not pregnant'
Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland has laughed off claims that her pal Beyonce Knowles is pregnant - claiming the Bootylicious star would be "mad" if she heard what was being said about her.
Rumours began spreading like wildfire last month that Knowles was up the duff after her hush-hush wedding to rapper Jay-Z.
We've yet to receive confirmation from the pair that they actually got hitched, let alone a yea or nay on a rumoured pregnancy.
Still, that hasn't stopped Rowland from piping up with her take on things.
"Everybody keeps talking about this wedding that supposedly happened. That's a question that you'd have to ask her!" she said.
And as far as the bambino rumours are concerned, Rowland laughs, "You know what's funny about this, all three of us (Destiny's Child members) have been pregnant at one time. We were on stage and supposedly we looked pregnant!
"I think that it happens, people say that all the time and there are so many rumours about a wedding, so many rumours about so much stuff that it (Beyonce being pregnant) is probably next in line.
"I mean, even before (there were) the wedding rumors (there) were baby rumors; before the wedding rumors there were wedding rumors, you know what I mean? So, no, there's no truth to that. She would be mad, she'd be like, 'I'm what?'"

Dempsey goes commando
Grey's Anatomy hunk Patrick Dempsey reportedly went commando while preparing for his role in chick-flick, Made of Honour.
The McDreamy doc with healing hands pops on a kilt in a scene in the cheesy rom-com, and says he had intentions of following tradition and wearing nothing underneath.
"For a short time [I was]," he tells AOL. "I tried it out and I realised that this is not the kilt I want to be doing that in. Yeah, I didn't need to show that."
McDreamy also shared some thoughts on how he sees his alter-ego's on/off relationship with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) developing in the hit TV show.
Warning: plot spoiler ahead
"I have like a rainbow color of pages in front of me that I'm trying to put together in my script, and I just got to the final scene. And it's a beautiful scene where we get back together.
"It's really quite something. It's unexpected, I think, the way it plays itself out. It kind of gets back to the essence of what made this show so great."

Hickey hokey?
Random video footage of Lindsay Lohan and best pal Samantha Ronson trotting around Paris has emerged online.
Not exactly earth shattering news, I concur.
What's mildly diverting is the hickey that Ronson has on her neck. Some folk claim Lohan gave the lass the old vampire routine and indulged in a bit of sisterly love.
So what if Lohan does turns out to a lesbian? Who gives a Gone with the Wind damn?
Verbal deposits
Brooke Hogan has spoken out about her brother Nick Boella's incarceration for reckless driving.
The gobby celebspawn just posted this on her MySpace page:
"Monday, May 12, 2008
Current mood: pi**ed off
Category: Life
I know most of the public thinks my brother is some rich little selfish kid, but NO ONE knows the real story and I'm really pissed that the truth didn't come out from either side. A LOT of lies were told in that trial. Believe me. And it wasn't from us. John was NEVER home. He was at our house. ALL THE TIME. that should say enough.... Im not going to be out spoken right now, but If some s*** doesn't start getting straightened out, A lot of people are going to eat their words for lieing. I know all of the truth and I have back up. I never know how twisted this world could be but I'm starting to figure it out. And I'm gonna have to jump off my high road and tackle some ppl who are taking the low road. I know you guys don't understand, but you will really really soon. Keep praying. And by the way, before you judge anybody, make sure you really know them. I promise you if you were to meet my brother he would give you the shirt off his back. He's not "NICK HOGAN." AND hes not the person he plays on tv. People are so gullible now a days..."
And there's more...
She later deleted the above post from her page, and replaced it with this tender little missive:
"Monday, May 12, 2008
I have the truth on my side. And the truth will set everyone straight sooner or later. PEACE
ps: yes I took my last one off cause I know itll go around anyway. Have at it ppl.
Regrets? Affleck has a few...
Poor Ben Affleck has only one regret in life - that he appeared in former flame Jennifer Lopez's Jenny from the Block video.
"If I have a big regret, it was doing the video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on."
And being the gentleman that he is, Affleck restrained himself from blaming the Latino lass for making his career nosedive after their relationship went kaput.
"It not only makes me look like a petulant fool [to blame Lopez], but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No."
I'm sure this gem of a video did, mate.
Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson dunzo?
News reports are coming in thick and fast that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo's romance is over, O.V.A.H.
While my ears instantly pricked up when I heard this morsel, the cynic in me has spoken and tells me it's a load of baloney.
But that doesn't mean I'm above reporting it, obviously. Read for yourselves and form your own opinions...
An imaginatively titled blog called These Boots Are Made For Stalking is reporting that Simpson and Romo have secretly pulled the plug on their relationship.
The story goes that Romo was spotted celebrating his alleged new-found single status with a bunch of drinking buddies last weekend in Chicago.
"They're broken up," says a close pal of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
"He told us they broke up and that was that. We're guys so we didn't talk about it much."
An eyewitness supposedly said: "He was surrounded by girls.
"We had to restrain some who forcibly tried to make their way to his table. He zeroed in on one blonde all night," added the source.
"That blonde wasn't Jessica Simpson."
Meanwhile, Simpson's rep insists that there is absolutely "no truth" to the rumors.
It can't be over between these two, surely?
Simpson's little sis Ashley is all set to get hitched this weekend, so if it's true, it's very bad timing.

Messrs Helstone and Sykes began to be extremely jocose and congratulatory
with Mr. Moore when he returned to them after dismissing the deputation. He
was so quiet, however, under their compliments upon his firmness etc., and wore
a countenance so like a still, dark day, equally beamless and breezeless, that the
rector, after glancing shrewdly into his eyes, buttoned up his felicitations with his
coat, and said to Sykes, whose senses were not acute enough to enable him to
discover unassisted where his presence and conversation were a nuisance,
'Come, sir; your road and mine lie partly together. Had we not better bear each
other company? We'll bid Moore "good-morning" and leave him to the happy
fancies he seems disposed to indulge.'
'And where is Sugden?' demanded Moore, looking up. 'Ah, ha!' cried Helstone.
'I've not been quite idle while you were busy. I've been helping you a little; I flatter
myself not injudiciously. I thought it better not to lose time; so, while you were
parleying with that down-looking gentleman - Farren I think his name is - I
opened this back window, shouted to Murgatroyd, who was in the stable, to bring
Mr. Sykes's gig round; then I smuggled Sugden and brother Moses - wooden leg
and all - through the aperture, and saw them mount the gig (always with our good
friend Sykes's permission, of course). Sugden took the reins he drives like Jehu -
and in another quarter of an hour Barraclough will be safe in Stilbro' jail.'
'Very good; thank you,' said Moore; 'and good-morning, gentlemen,' he added,
and so politely conducted them to the door, and saw them clear of his premises.
He was a taciturn, serious man the rest of the day. He did not even bandy a
repartee with Joe Scott, who, for his part, said to his master only just what was
absolutely necessary to the progress of business, but looked at him a good deal
out of the corners of his eyes, frequently came to poke the counting-house fire for
him, and once, as he was locking up for the day (the mill was then working short
time, owing to the slackness of trade), observed that it was a grand evening, and
he 'could wish Mr. Moore to take a bit of a walk up th' Hollow. It would do him
At this recommendation Mr. Moore burst into a short laugh, and after demanding
of Joe what all this solicitude meant, and whether he took him for a woman or a
child, seized the keys from his hand, and shoved him by the shoulders out of his
presence. He called him back, however, ere he had reached the yard-gate.
'Joe, do you know those Farrens? They are not well off, I suppose?'
'They cannot be well off, sir, when they've not had work as a three month. Ye'd
see yoursel' 'at William's sorely changed - fair pared. They've selled most o' t'
stuff out o' th' house.'
'He was not a bad workman?'
'Ye never had a better, sir, sin' ye began trade.'
'And decent people - the whole family?'
'Niver dacenter. Th' wife's a raight cant body, and as clean - ye mught eat your
porridge off th' house floor. They're sorely comed down. I wish William could get
a job as gardener or summat i' that way; he understands gardening weel. He

Music use by exercisers and athletes has become commonplace but selection of music is often intuitive rather than scientific. For this reason, sport and exercise scientists have considered the role of evidence-based music prescription for physical activity. In this expert statement we will outline the current status of music research, summarise research themes and findings, and conclude with recommendations for practitioners and researchers. As the title of the statement suggests, the evidence presented refers primarily to exercise participants rather than elite athletes.
Background and evidence
Research conducted in the exercise domain prior to the mid- 1990s was of variable quality and produced equivocal findings. This equivocality has been attributed to methodological limitations and the lack of a guiding theoretical framework (see Karageorghis). Researchers often misused musical terminology, operated poor music selection protocols, chose inappropriate measures and failed to standardise important aspects of experimental protocol, such as playing music at a consistent volume. Developments in conceptual understanding and standardisation of music selection (e.g., Karageorghis et al., 2006) have helped to rectify these limitations.
A corpus of research work has focused on identifying factors contributing to the motivational qualities of music; that is, qualities which stimulate or inspire physical activity. Following more careful attention to music selection by researchers, a range of benefits have been shown in the exercise domain that include diversion of attentional focus, triggering or regulation of specific emotions, alteration or regulation of mood states, evocation of memories and other cognitive processes, control of arousal, induction of flow state, reduction of inhibitions and encouragement of rhythmic movement (see Terry & Karageorghis, 2011).
These responses to music may, in turn, promote an ergogenic (work-enhancing) effect. This occurs when music improves exercise performance by either reducing perceptions of fatigue or increasing work capacity. Typically, this results in higher-than-expected levels of endurance, power, productivity or strength. Long-term benefits of music use have yet to be investigated thoroughly but are thought to include increased adherence to exercise programmes. This is especially pertinent to music use in medical rehabilitation settings in which exercise plays a role (e.g., physiotherapy, stroke, chronic pain, cardiac episodes; see Siedlecki & Good, 2006). Exploratory work has demonstrated the utility of music in these secondary care contexts where, owing to their condition, patients are in particular need of encouragement, affective enhancement, distraction and stimulation.
Primary factors that influence responsiveness to music in exercise and sport settings are the musical qualities of rhythm, melody and harmony. Secondary factors include the extra-musical qualities of cultural impact (i.e., pervasiveness of the music within specific cultural groups or society generally) and associations that a piece of music may carry (e.g., Heather Small's Proud is closely associated with the British team at the 2000 Sydney Olympics). The latest iteration of our conceptual model incorporates the influence of gender and personality. Research findings suggest that these variables play a role in determining musical preferences and responses within exercise settings. For example, males generally express a greater preference for bass frequencies compared to females (McCown et al., 1997), and extraverts respond more favourably than introverts to lively musical selections (e.g., Crust & Clough, 2006). Further, Hargreaves and North (2008) have identified situational context as a key influence on effects of music, whereby exercisers have pre-conditioned expectations about music that should be played in different contexts (e.g., upbeat, arousing music in gymnasia).
Effects of music prior to exercise and sport have been studied extensively. Pre-task music has been shown to act as an effective stimulant that can optimise arousal level and psychological states (see Terry & Karageorghis, 2011). Effects of music during physical activity have also been investigated thoroughly. Use of asynchronous music (i.e., background music to which movements are not consciously synchronized) provides both psychological (distraction and enhancement of positive feelings) and ergogenic (performance-enhancing) benefits. Although the role of such music is typically motivational, it may also serve to promote relaxation and efficiency in long-duration, repetitive activities such as distance running (see Terry & Karageorghis, 2011). Some of our experimental work has addressed the association between heart rate (a proxy for exercise intensity) and preference for musical tempo (speed). Findings indicate that, among young adults, preferred music tempo generally falls within a narrow band (125-140 beats per minute) regardless of exercise intensity (Karageorghis et al., 2011). Contrary to theoretical predictions, the relationship between exercise heart rate and preferred music tempo is nonlinear, characterised by a series of inflections. The relationship has yet to be examined among older exercisers, and may possibly be different for them, given that maximal heart rate reduces considerably with age.
Synchronous music use (i.e., when an exerciser consciously moves in time with a musical beat) has been shown to provide ergogenic and psychological benefits in repetitive endurance activities. For example, motivational synchronous music used during treadmill walking improved time to voluntary exhaustion by 15% compared to motivationallyneutral and control conditions (Karageorghis et al., 2009). Other findings suggest that synchronous music may increase rhythmicity of movement, resulting in an efficiency gain that is associated with lower relative oxygen uptake (see Terry & Karageorghis, 2011).
In steady-state aerobic exercise, motivational music has also been shown to improve affective states by up to 15%. Similarly, music listening can be an effective dissociation strategy, reducing perceptions of effort and fatigue by up to 12%. However, this distraction effect is attenuated at higher exercise intensities (> ~70% VO2 max) as internal feedback dominates due to the limited channel capacity of the respective afferent nervous system. Notably, the affective and attentional effects of music appear to interact, in that positive feelings can alter perception of intense effort. The effects of post-exercise music, to aid recovery from training, competition or injury – known as recuperative music – are now beginning to receive research attention (see Terry & Karageorghis, 2011).
Conclusions and recommendations
Research evidence demonstrates that music has consistent and measurable effects on the behaviour and psychological states of male and female exercise participants. Music can also positively influence performance by improving endurance and/or exercise intensity. When music is selected according to its motivational qualities, the positive impact on performance (e.g., increased endurance) and psychological states (e.g., enhanced affect) are even greater, which has important implications for exercise adherence. Salient recommendations are that music should be:
• Congruent with the socio-cultural background and age group of listeners (i.e., reflect familiarity and preferences).
• Functional for the activity (e.g., rhythm should usually approximate motor patterns involved).
• Selected with the desired effects in mind (e.g., loud, fast, percussive music with accentuated bass frequencies as an arousal-increasing intervention).
• Selected in consultation with participants using some form of objective rating method (e.g., Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2; Karageorghis et al., 2006).
• Characterised by prominent rhythmic qualities and percussion in addition to pleasing melodic and harmonic structures for repetitive aerobic and anaerobic exercise tasks. Harmony refers to sounding multiple notes together, giving music its emotional "colour" (e.g., happy, sad, ruminative).
• Within the tempo band of 125-140 beats per minute for most healthy exercisers engaged in repetitive, aerobic-type activity (slower music is appropriate for warm-up and cool-down).
• Imbued with motivating associations, conditioned either through the media or the personal experiences of the listener.
• Accompanied by lyrics with affirmations of movement (e.g., "run to the beat") or generic motivating statements (e.g., "the only way is up").
• Used in ways where safety is not compromised (e.g., exercisers should not use music when running or cycling on the roads).

text: Hello everyone. I'm obviously new to these parts, but it appears as though you folks have put together a great community here. I'm a prior active duty officer of Marines who's now working in the construction industry. As a resident of the L.A. area who's neither a movie star nor a politician, I've never had much need for information concerning concealed carry. Now however, thanks to the people of the great state of Utah, I will soon have the opportunity to exercise a few more of my Constitutional rights, at least when visiting 35 other states. I look forward to spending some time here and learning a bit more about how to do it properly.
