GM executives actually made two references to the future of Voltec. Bill Wallace, Director of Battery Systems Engineering stated that the focus on Voltec "1.5" is longer battery life within the physical size of the current battery. He also stated that the focus on 2.0 is achieving higher power density out of the battery—specifically 40-50% more than the current cells. Wallace cautioned that the chemistry currently "does not exist," but GM is working on it.How seamless is the transition between modes?
The transition is seamless enough that you won't know when it is taking place. The only indication is a graphic change on the interface of the gauge LCD. At some point you will likely hear the internal combustion engine running, but when the car initially goes into extended range mode it is entirely seamless.Also how long does GM anticipate the lifespan of the current car to be?
GM has not specified, though considering they were talking about what they were going to do on version "1.5," it sounds like an update is inevitable.I want to know how much quicker the Volt is in electric mode vs. the ICE when the battery is drained.
There really is no performance difference between EV and extended range mode. Electricity is constantly driving the car (in all modes), so that instance torque factor is always there and it is noticeable.I am curious as how far along they are on the 2.0? Will the Lithium battery or other battery technology improve much in the next 4 years?
Engineers made it very clear work is underway on Voltec 2.0. They also made it clear they intend for battery technology to advance greatly over the next decade.Can it do a burnout?
Oh yeah. In fact, it's pretty good at it.More information on the conditions that will result in the ICE being coupled to the wheels.
GM refers to this as "combined mode." This mode can engage at speeds as low as 40 MPH, but the mode is "generally" used at high speeds (above 65 MPH). In combined mode the Volt can be running on up to 60-70% mechanical energy.MPG after battery reaches depletion.
We observed 35-40 MPG in extended range mode and that seemed commonplace amongst most of the test drivers. This was during conditions of about 50-degrees ambient temperature and a wide array of driving conditions and styles.How much of the 16kW battery will be used initially.
The Volt can use up to 10kWh of the battery pack.Is it possible to replace a battery cell as opposed to the whole battery to bring a vehicle back up to warranty "range" as the cells begin to wear out?
GM told us that the battery is designed to never need service work, so we would venture to say "no."More information about battery management. I assume the battery is used and will "wear" evenly over the entire portion being used (say 8 - 10 kW at first) - is this the case or will the "lower" 10% become "more warn and less usable" over time first - followed by more of the battery?
There is a tremendous amount of battery control systems on the Volt. More than we or GM can explain. From what we can grasp, the car can use more or less of the battery over time. But again, it depends on conditions and situations.Any word on EPA ratings?
The EPA is telling GM it will be two to three more weeks until a methodology is finalized.How customizable is the display on the LCD screens?
It depends on your definition of customizable. You can display just about any information imaginable on either screen- you select. However the manner in which said information is displayed is fixed and not customizable.When will it be rolled out to the rest of the states? When can I buy one in Pennsylvania?
GM is currently saying the nationwide rollout will begin in 12-18 months.Can you see if you can get more details on the battery warranty?
GM did not divulge much information on the warranty itself. It is likely one of those things that owners will have to read the fine print of the owner's manual to learn the details.I'd like to know a bit more about the ICE.
Well, it's a 1.4-liter ECOTEC four-cylinder from the Family 0 lineup of engines. GM has capped the engine speed to just 4800 rpm, at which point it produces a maximum of 83 horsepower. The fuel system for the ICE is pressurized and sealed to minimize debris and hydrocarbons from entering the system. As such, it does require premium octane fuel, which GM swears gives the Volt a 5-10% increase in fuel economy. Oil changes on the ICE are dictated by GM's oil life monitoring system just like every other GM product.Much has been stated about the OnStar interface. In a garage like mine, cell phone connectivity is virtually non-existent. (Combination of weak signal area and the structure with no windows). Are there special things someone in that situation should be concerned about?
The Volt has an external cellular antenna for OnStar (like all GM products). In theory it should get a signal in areas handheld phones do not. If not, you will just miss out on the OnStar features when it's in the garage.What does it sound like?
It's very quiet in all modes. During EV mode you only hear the tires rolling and a very faint electric-like noise. When in extended range mode you occasionally hear the ICE running, specifically if you are driving aggressively. At that point the Volt sounds sort of mean.When it is -10 degrees, will the Volt be anything close to a practical vehicle? I would think the engine would run until the battery is at a comfortable operating temperature. If so, what does this do to mileage? GM certainly has an endless mountain of data on cold weather testing.
The battery is constantly kept to a "comfortable" temperature range, even if the car is turned off. GM stated that even during their extreme cold weather testing the battery never got down to ambient temperature. It is almost constantly doing something, which generates heat. The only time the battery would be at the ambient temperature—according to GM—is when the car has sit outside for a week or so.I'm interested in how the ride and handling compare with any of the truly good mainstream mid size cars that the average consumer is attracted to. Once we get past the initial sales success to the eccentrics it comes down to Joe Average consumer to determine if cars like the Volt are sustainable.
Ride and handling is obviously subjective, but my personal preference is that the Volt handles better than most front-wheel drive sedans that are of similar size. No, I'm not kidding. The instant torque from the traction motor simply makes it a really entertaining drive.Does the car have traction/stability control (StabiliTrak)?
Yes, it has StabiliTrak like all GM products. It operates very similarly too.What are the differences in terms of design, build, and operation between the Ampera for European markets and the Volt for the USA particularly in terms of the powertrain?
The one difference GM did discuss is the addition of a fourth driving mode. European models will have a "hold" mode that allows you to drive the car in extended range mode even with a fully charged battery. The logic behind this is that a driver that lives 20 KM out of Paris could drive on the highway in extended range mode, then drive in all EV mode while in city traffic.Will there be a demo mode to show the different modes of operation to customers at dealers and test drives?
Every Volt has a "tutorial" mode that walks the user through the whole car and user interface. This can be viewed anytime the Volt is in park and is accessed from the DIC.What is the towing capacity? Can I put my boat in the water with it?
GM recommends that you NOT tow with the Volt.Is it possible to recharge the batteries to a serviceable level without plugging into an outlet?
Theoretically, yes. Through regenerative braking it could happen if you have enough downhill action going on. GM did state that if such were to happen, you would have to power cycle the car before it would enter EV mode again.Can the Volt get me to and from my job everyday without engine recharge if the battery is fully charged before use?
Depends on your commute. We found it fairly easy to get 40 EV miles out of the Volt.How long is the battery life expectancy before it needs to be replaced?
GM told us that the battery is engineered to last 10 years and/or 150,000 miles.When the Volt is plugged in for charging, is the gear leaver locked in Park? Are you unable to move the vehicle until you unplug it from the power source?
The Volt gets very unhappy if you have it plugged in or leave the charging door open when you attempt to take off. Not only does a warning message and graphic display in the gauge LCD, but it also beeps very loudly. In our experience the gear selector was not locked in park.A question that I have is what fail safes or safeguards are built in with regards to battery pack failure. Can the failure of an individual cell disable the car?
To our knowledge, no. A cell failure will not disable the entire car.

The BVIs are the place to go...
The British Virgin Islands have to be one of the world's best-kept secrets! After a recent visit to this wonderful destination I can not wait to go back and send my clients to this idyllic Caribbean destination, it's a secret I won't be keeping.
On arrival in Antigua we were met by the Private Charter Company and were escorted to check in for our short 45 minute flight to Tortola (Beef Island). On arrival at the small airport you are met and transferred 5 minutes to the dock where you are picked up by your island resort by boat. Our first stop Scrub Island. A beautiful private island resort with a large 55 slip marina and all rooms/suites facing the ocean. I was lucky enough to stay in the resorts only Two Bedroom Villa with access to a private beach. This resort is great for those who are experiencing the BVI's on the water and want to have a active holiday exploring, as there are many options of excursions and day trips from the resort.
The next resort I stayed at was Peter Island Resort and Spa, the largest private Island resort in the BVI's with 1800 acres and only a 35 minute boat transfer from Tortola, the resort has three amazing villas and luckily we were able to visit Falcon's Nest (the only 6 bedroom villa in the BVI's) and Crow's Nest (4 bedroom villa) both perfect for a family holiday and both come with chef, butler and full board basis included in the rates! Lunch at the Deadman's Bar and grill was superb and situated on the beautiful white sands of Deadman's beach and serving light meals including an amazing Mahi Mahi burger, which is a must try if you like fresh Caribbean fish dishes! After a relax on the beach we were picked up from our Beachfront Junior Suites and taken to the Sunset point where we were provided with a platter of cheeses, fruits and biscuits and wine to watch the sunset.
The following day we were picked up from Peter Island by a 5 berth luxury catamaran for our day of sailing around the islands. We anchored at Cooper Island where we took the opportunity to snorkel and swim in the crystal clear waters before returning to the Catamaran for a light lunch. We then arrived at Biras Creek in the North Sound.
Biras Creek has the closest rooms to the ocean and literally you are steps away from the wonderful sound of crashing waves and the Ocean Suites benefit from large windows which you can open and listen to the ocean while you are settling in for the night. On waking up here I was greeted by the pelicans fishing for their breakfast and with nothing else in view it felt very private and wonderfully peaceful.
Next stop was a look around three amazing villas, Villas Aquamare on Virgin Gorda. Three 8000 sq-ft five bedroom villas with a wonderful private beachfront and villa manager who will take care of your every need; with previous guests being A-list celebrities these villas are special for an exclusive private experience.
Following our visit of Aquamare we stopped and visited the Baths on Virgin Gorda. The Baths, are comprised of awe-inspiring granite boulders, which form sheltered sea pools on the beach's edge. The protected area also includes Devil's Bay, which can be reached from The Baths by a series of ladders scaling the boulders. An adventure if you have spent too much time on the beach! You may need to pick up a rum punch on your way back up the hillside to help ease the walk!
On to our next accommodation for the night Rosewood Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda. Offering a wonderful family experience with the amazing Rosewood facilities of interconnecting room options and children's club from ages 3-12 years, along with an impressive tennis academy. Monday night was Sea Food buffet night at the main restaurant and I had the freshest Anegada lobster, a must!
The spa at Little Dix Bay offers complimentary Yoga classes in the mornings from the spa pool with an amazing view over the ocean, a perfect way to unwind before a busy day ahead! The trip ended with a night at the Bitter End Yacht Club; if you are keen sailor and look forward to getting on the water all day everyday this is the place for you. If you stay more than 7 nights here you will have included Unlimited use of Club fleet of over 100 boats and day sailers, including Lasers, Hobies, Hunters, kayaks, windsurfers and Boston Whalers plus many more benefits. Having visited a few of the main Caribbean Islands previously it was great to explore such an unspoilt and naturally beautiful destination and I can't wait to go back.

Wetlands Loop Trail is a 2.4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Hampton, Virginia that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Hampton's premier park is a 456 acre environmental education and wildlife management facility. Born from borrow pits and garbage dumps, the park is truly a success story of reclamation of our natural resources.
Not the best for bikes as there are so many roots everywhere so makes for an extremely bumpy ride. There are parts of the trail where you feel you are so far from the city which is really nice. Saw some pretty amazing birds (very large), and beware of the black snakes as they like to frequent the trails. Great place to kayak too. Rented one of the yurts for a nite, had 2 bunk beds with trundles underneath so can sleep quite a bit.

This offers a nice and easy three mile hike with plenty of wildlife. When I went the end of July I was able to see four or five deer including a doe with her fawn. The bad thing about this park is there is a section of the trail very close to a busy road.
There is a nice information center that has different kinds of turtles, snakes and lizards that are in small habitats for people to look at. There are other items on display for guests to look at such as insects and animal bones. Guests can also rent kayaks, canoes and paddle boats. The trails are decent, very wide with some nice look out points. There is also an area where injured animals are being cared for, not many can be seen as this area is not open to the public. The down side was that the highway is so close that there are areas on the trails that cars can be seen, heard and exhaust can be smelled.
Meriwether B.
Overall something for everyone at this park. Somewhere to ride, run or hike!
This is a nice park. The Trillium has to many open area fo this July heat but it is still nice.
I have been coming to this park for years. Today it is a nicely kept park with a great trail system. It used to be more of a 2 star 20 years ago. Hats off to the rangers and the city. The Bark Park seems to have disappeared too but I do not have a dog.

Their Child
A poetic love story for them who are beloved..
A rose behind her ear,
And pearls around her neck.
She gracefully comes near,
Suddenly stops to an end.
A suit worn perfectly,
And a bow below his chin.
He smiles with flowing glee,
At the beautiful maiden.
Matching rings on their fingers,
The vow has been spoken,
Which cannot be broken,
A kiss to seal the promise.
A love to keep forever,
Begun under a tall tree,
With a boy who cut his knee,
And a cute girl sitting there.
Her small hands were gentle,
A wound cured by a miss,
Finished with a healing kiss.
Into her, he helplessly fell.
Parents they became next,
I am their second love.
Both of them are my first.
Their child given from above.

DNA Technologies Will Be Used to Identify Vietnam War Dead
Wednesday, January 13, 2016
HANOI, VIETNAM—The government of Vietnam will upgrade three DNA testing centers, and a private company will assist with the identification of the remains of Vietnam War victims. "The technical challenges are considerable but tractable," Wolfgang Höppner, chief executive of medical-diagnostics company Bioglobe, told Nature News. Those challenges include Vietnam's climate and soil microbes that can contribute to the degradation of DNA, and the large numbers of remains to be identified. The International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), located in Sarajevo, will help train Vietnamese scientists to exhume remains from mass graves and recognize identifying characteristics in the skeletons. Reference DNA will also be collected from family members to be compared with DNA recovered from victims, many of whom died without children, and whose parents have probably passed away in the 40 years since the Vietnam War. "That is why it is particularly important to do the DNA analysis with a larger than normal set of markers," Höppner explained. The program is expected to identify between 8,000 and 10,000 sets of remains a year. To read more about archaeology in the area, go to "Settling Southeast Asia."

I went to 4 surgeons and got 4 varied recommendations. I am unable to decide the way to go....2 out of 4 would use alloderm. I am concerned about the risk for infection using that matrix-I don't want the long surgical procedure of diep or tram. I am therefore just unable to go ahead since there are obvious pros and cons using alloderm.
Revisional Breast Reconstruction for Capsular Contracture - Best Option?
Doctor Answers 9
Options for capsular contracture in breast reconstruction
If you are experiencing capsular contracture following implant reconstruction, you have several options. One option is to consider an autologous reconstructive option such as a TRAM or DIEP free flap. If you have enough excess tissue in your lower belly, then you may be able to restore your post mastectomy breast using your own tissue without an implant. Another option would be the latissimus flap with an implant. If you are not interested in an autologous procedure, then revision implant surgery is the remaining option. This would entail a total or partial capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue), your current implant and placement of a new implant. Alloderm has shown promise in slowing the process of scar tissue. In fact, I authored a recent paper in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery on this exact topic (dec 2010). However, it is still too premature to say definitively that alloderm prevents capsular contracture.

Treatments for breast implant capsular contractures include the with or without AlloDerm, removal and replacement of the breast implant along with capsulectomy to remove the scar capsule; exchange of the breast implant and placement of a new implant in another pocket; removal of the implant and breast reconstruction with a tissue flap
Flap reconstruction of the breast makes it possible, using your own tissues, to provide a soft, natural, warm breast reconstruction.
Although more complex than implant expander breast reconstruction, flap reconstructions such as TRAM flap, or DIEP flaps may actually have less complications. The flap reconstruction techniques once healed, last a lifetime as they are already a part of you.
Revision breast reconstruction with Alloderm works.
1) Most of the time, capsular contracture can be corrected just with your existing tissues, without the need for either Alloderm or a flap.
2) If Alloderm is indicated for some other reason (rippling, thin tissues, etc.), I assure you that we use it all the time, that it is very safe, and that the risk of infection is very low. There are really no "cons" here. And Alloderm actually lowers the risk of capsular contracture coming back.
3) I have the feeling that your situation may be a little more complicated than it sounds, because surgeons would not be recommending complicated flaps (certainly not risk free) just to correct a capsular contracture.

Alloderm is excellent choice for treatment of capsular contracture
Sometimes it can be confusing given the fact that often there is no one great answer and therefore no consensus. It doesn't mean that there is a "wrong" answer. Given that you don't want the far more extensive procedures which is a quite reasonable decision, using Alloderm is an excellent choice and is what I like to use.
The Alloderm significantly reduces the incidence and extent of capsular contracture even in irradiated tissue though the effects are even better without previous irradiation. New implants should be placed and the capsules removed.
There is never any guarantee but this appears to be the most prudent choice given what you have, the information provided and without performing a personal examination.

Capsular contracture and implants
Of course, without a physical exam by me, I am not sure what is going on for you. However, Alloderm is being used quite often for capsular contracture because it seems to diminish the recurrence.

Strattice acellular matrix for capsular contracture
The best chance of correcting capsular contracture is probably with implant replacement, removal of the capsule, and acellular dermis graft. Alloderm is popular for this application because it was found to be associated with an extremely low incidence of CC in breast reconstruction patients. There is some theoretical concern however, because technically alloderm is aseptic, not sterile. A good alternative is a similar material called Strattice, which is sterile and works the same way as alloderm.
Options for Capsular Contracture after Breast Reconstruction
According to information published by one of the major manufacturers of breast implants: "Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. You will likely undergo implant removal with or without replacement over the course of your life."
Data published by the by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration show that:
- Approximately 50% of women will require unplanned re-operation within 7 years of undergoing reconstruction using saline-filled implants
- Implant removal is required by approximately 30% of women within 5 years of reconstruction with a saline-filled implant
- Within 7 years of surgery, nearly 40 % of women will require implant removal
Data available for silicone-filled implants shows similar trends
If radiation has been part of a woman's treatment, the incidence of capsular contracture is even higher.
Once a women has had surgery to address a complication such as a capsular contracture, she has over a 30% chance of needing additional surgery for implant related problems within just 3 years of the first revision surgery. Because there is no "sure-fire" way to cure/eliminate a capsular contracture and prevent its subsequent return, it is not surprising that different surgeons would have different approaches.
While I can appreciate your desire to avoid a surgical procedure such as a DIEP flap that would typically take longer to perform than an implant-based reconstruction procedure, in the hands of experienced microsurgeons, a DIEP reconstruction can be completed in about 4 hours. Given the ability of natural-tissue to resolve the problems of capsular contracture and the lifetime durability of such reconstructions, you may want to consult with a surgeon who has significant experience with perforator flap procedures before totally eliminating the possibility. Surgeons who perform these procedures often have patients who are willing to talk to women considering this type of surgery; many of my patients have volunteered to speak with women confronting difficult decisions such as the one you described. Regardless of which method of reconstruction you choose, I suggest that you consult with surgeons who have significant experience dealing with capsular contracture.
I hope this is helpful.
Acellular dermal matrix is a good option for capsular contracture
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM), of which Alloderm is one option, seems to be beneficial for people with capsular contracture. It may work where previous capsulotomy or capsulectomy has failed to prevent the contracture from recurring. Other manuevers should be used as well - implant exchange, creating a new pocket for the implant, etc. I wouldn't be too worried about infection - although the risk might be slightly higher, it is still very low. There is a higher rate of seroma formation with ADM, but many surgeons will place a drain, and seromas are fairly easy to deal with.
Revisional breast reconstruction for capsular contracture - best option?
The use of the acellular dermal matrix has grown in its applications and use in plastic & reconstructive procedures, and growing. It has truly been a remarkable addition for breast reconstruction.
The acellular dermal matrix is a tissue that is specially-prepared, which comes from cadaveric skin. It is placed on the inside, not on your skin. It has been processed in such a way that the basement membrane and cellular matrix remain intact, while removing all other cellular components that may lead to both rejection and infection. Packages as a sterile tissue product, due to its preparation, the chance of acquiring viruses and such is nearly absent.
Its applications for breast reconstruction alone include its use in tissue expander/implant reconstruction, to act as a "hammock" at the inferior portion of the breast for which the implant lies within. This creates a natural "sling" which mimics the ptosis (sag) of the breast, while supporting it in place. By suturing this matrix to its exact position of the breast margins, the plastic surgeon is able to precisely recreate an excellent contour for your breast, especially at the inferior, medial, and lateral positions. This also minimizes migration of the implant, as sometimes seen with "bottoming out" inferiorly or its displacement into the axilla (armpit). In addition to its increased aesthetic results, the acellular dermal matrix provides additional coverage over your implant. This is especially useful in those instances of dehiscence (your incision opening up), thus protecting the implant from exposure, and threatening its necessity for removal. Furthermore, in cases where the overlying mastectomy flaps are thin or damaged, leading to partial flap necrosis, the tissue matrix again provides a coverage over your implant, which can heal over time or a graft placed over the are or simply closed. Lastly, the additional coverage lessens implant visibility and palpability and is a great adjunct for revisionary breast surgery. The use of this matrix, along with the advantages listed above, has reduced the time of the reconstructive portion of the procedure as well. There is less pectoralis muscle retraction and eliminates the need to raise any other surrounding muscles in order to achieve complete implant coverage. It doe an excellent job for capsular contracture and is certainly a reasonable modality. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Martin Amis and Katie Price have much in common. Both are famous for their shag-happy pasts – though Katie is only a modest 3x2 breeder and Mart a majestic 5x3, which if he was a woman would mark him out as a tramp, but as he's a man means he's a stud. Or something.
Then there's their love of cosmetic enhancement (her tits, his teeth), their habit of going where the money is (her numerous merchandising opportunities, his dumping of his agent of more than 20 years in favour of Andrew "The Jackal" Wylie) and their mostly unreadable books. Though definitely not unread, in the case of Miss Price, who is currently one of this country's best-selling authors.
Another difference between them is that whereas Katie has probably never heard of Martin, Martin seems to spend quite a lot of time thinking and talking about Katie – and even writing about her. Last year at the Hay Festival, Amis revealed that he had '"honoured" The Author Formerly Known As Jordan "with a character bearing some of her traits in a forthcoming novella to be called State Of England". (If it was possible to have written that title in a font called Predictable Grande, how I would have!) Amis went on to "explain" that though the character Threnody "isn't based on" Jordan, readers should "bear in mind" the feisty icon when they read the book. Oooh, SOMEONE'S been getting pre-match legal advice! Still, the old devil couldn't keep a civil tongue for long, and ended up bitching: "She has no waist, no arse... an interesting face... but all we are really worshipping is two bags of silicone." Miaow!
In this very paper David Lister called him "a real fool... in turning his critique of celebrity publishing into a personal attack on a woman's physical attributes in language that would have seemed chauvinist 40 years ago, let alone now, he has shown his true colours". While Janet Street Porter summed him up as being "reduced to slagging off a woman who will never have read one of his own books, or even have heard of him, in order to drum up interest and grab a few headlines for his next opus." Ouch!
It's a pretty sure bet that Martin won't be turning up in any of Jordan's novels soon, seeing as how she likes her heroes tall and fit, with their own teeth. But he can't step away from the siren, and just keeps digging deeper. This year, he added: "I think it is slightly depressing that Jordan's autobiography is a best seller and people queue for five hours to meet her." Well, Mart, no one FORCED you! And now, in a classic kiss-chase come-get-me ploy, he is huffing off to the USA, partly because of the nasty way the print media treats him, according to his publisher. I THINK that means he's miffed because Heat haven't put him on the cover yet.
This classic high/low culture-cum-ugly writer/sex symbol situ also featured recently in the Andrew O'Hagan/Angelina Jolie dust-up when he claimed that she was to play Marilyn Monroe in the film of a book he wrote and she said that she'd never heard of it. OUCH!
Talking of MM, I blame Arthur Miller for the silly spectacles these speccy swots make of themselves with any goddess going; once he'd bagged the Best of Breed, every nerd thought he too could be in like Flynn with the pin-up of his choice. Serge Gainsbourg, who cut a swathe through the beauties of France, and that cute geeky actor who hooked Christina Hendricks sorely misled the likes of Andy and Marty too. Boys – it's AMERICA, the land where dreams come true and dream girls come easy! (Maybe THAT'S why Mart's going there – to try his luck with, sorry, DECONSTRUCT Lady Gaga.) Did you hear the old joke about the Polish starlet? Went to Hollywood and slept with the writers!
I somehow can't imagine the reverse happening – Hilary Mantel claiming that Zac Efron is to star in the film version of Wolf Hall, or Germaine Greer drooling embarrassingly over beautiful boys in a purply-prosed coffee table book (oops, sorry, scratch that). But you get my drift. Because girls are brought up judged on their looks more, we learn our league earlier, and we rarely make fools of ourselves by aiming above it. I would never ever, even if I wasn't happily married, believe that any of the men I admire – Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Ronson before he dyed his hair blond, the Israeli national football squad (and reserves) – were interested in me; women just don't have that sort of Magic Mirror ("Who's the fairest of them all?") at home. And so many men, even ones with faces that surely only a blind mother could love (Chris Moyles, Chris Evans, Frankie Boyle), appear to have one, judging by the hilariously inappropriate way they assess women's appearances.
To me, one of the most interesting bits of biological research of the past few years proved that "most men find most women at least somewhat sexually attractive, whereas most women do not find most men sexually attractive at all". Wake up and smell the skinny latte, lads. See that girl you like? Don't text her, don't stalk her, don't write about her in your poxy miserablist novel and don't claim she's going to be in your film. Boys – step away from the Dream Girl. For all you'll get from her is the chance to make yourself look like seven sorts of fool.
George Michael: Pillars of pop have to commit real crimes
I love George Michael. I consider him a songwriter of massive talent, occasionally touched with genius. I met him only once, just before Wham! broke up, and a small thing he did on that occasion spoke volumes. I rocked up to interview him for The Times, to his flat in Kensington, knocked on the door - and there he stood, in a doorway that opened right on to the busy street. In a business in which even minor stars have lackeys to open doors and pour drinks ("Shall I be mother?" he twinkled over the teapot – and I STILL didn't catch on...) this was more than refreshing – it was revealing.
His crime, while foolish and certainly deserving of the short custodial sentence it received, hurt no one. So when he gets out of jail next month, how about calling off what appears to be open season on this sweet, soulful, solitary man? So many vile crimes have been committed by crooning cretins. Yet GM is pilloried far more than any wife-beating Beatle, paedophiliac ex-Stone or child-pornography-downloading member of The Who.
I suspect his real crime, in the eyes of many, is being true to himself; a complex, tormented but ultimately honest man who will have no truck with the Big Lie that families are fun and that monogamous marriage, be it straight or gay, is the ultimate goal for everyone. Never mind, George, just download some kiddie porn, sleep with a 13-year-old and beat up a woman, and you too can become a pillar of the pop establishment.
Middle age: Why do these women want a little whistle?
Maybe it's because I am happy in my marriage, but I find it impossible to worry about being "invisible", as so many media broads of middle-age appear to. If from the onset of one's teens one is ogled over, growled at and propositioned every time one goes to the corner shop for a can of Tizer – admittedly quite fun when young – it comes as a pleasant surprise finally to pass unhindered.
Maybe women who want to be leered at by strangers aren't getting any at home? It does seem to be a case of wanting one's crumpet and eating it, though; to complain about being judged on one's physical appearance – and then also to complain when that judging stops.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a very complicated and twisted situation. I have been paying child support for years now for my soon to be 20 year old daughter. About a year ago my daughter told me that her mother had her adopted by her step father when she was 9. Low and behold I needed a copy of my daughters birth certificate recently for some family court cases and when I sent off I received a letter from vital records that they did a due diligent search for my daughter and no record was found. I immediately called vital records and the lady who answered the phone was very nice and gave me more information than she should have and it turns out that this did take place without my knowledge. Since the stepfather owes the support and not me legally can I get my money back or sue child support for my money?
In order for them to adopt then they had to terminate your parental rights. That is a court proceeding in which yoiu have to be personally served with papers. I would first go to the family court where you lives when the adoption took place and look at the records. As to the support you have paid, the current answer in New York is no, but you should have a attorney in your area look this case over to see how a child support order was entered and then your rights were terminated
I will allways give you a free consultation, so we can discuss all the facts of your case call us anytime at 718-263-6800Ask a similar question
I agree with Mr. Zalewski and I'd like to offer a few additional comments. 1 - If you were never served with notice of the adoption, you have the right to ask the court to re-open the adoption and to argue to the court why you feel the adoption should not be granted. 2 - As a general rule, any money paid as child support is non-refundable but you may be able to sue the mother for fraud. It would be a very difficult case but it may be worth contacting an attorney.
I understand that anybody would agree with that concept of my rights having to be terminated, but I checked with family court in both counties that could possibly have jurisdiction and both told me there was no record of my termination of parental rights. I am assuming that she forged consent papers. I understand that their are very limited circumstances where child support would allow reimbursement of an overpayment of child support, but if the money was collected in an erroneous manner that constituted fraud I think that should be considered. Technically NY would have no jurisdiction to collect support under such circumstanced, and every family court clerk I have spoken to has told me the support order should have terminated immediately. Any thoughts on that?
Money paid for support is presumed to inure to the benefit of the child and is may not be recovered under New York law. Take some comfort in knowing that you provided something for your biological child. It was, regardless of her adoption, the right thing to do morally.Ask a similar question
I should take comfort in knowing that my ex wife moved around so much that it made it impossible for me to have a relationship with my daughter and then defrauded the system in order to have my child illegally adopted out from under me and continue to collect child support when I was not even the one legally responsible any longer. I am sorry I thought that laws where put in place to preserve justice not to beat up our citizens. I have no problem with paying child support, but the fact is that I was robbed, of my watching my daughter grow up and then to find out that she is no longer legally my daughter while I have been paying all these years?
I fully understand all of your concerns, and you were deprived of a significant right, but my advice is not to focus on the money and to see if you can have some contact with your daughter. To know you, if you could let go of your anger, would be in her best interests.

In Brief: Hans Juergen Abt of Abt Sportsline Sits Down for Chat at 2011 Geneva Motor Show
by, 03-08-2011 at 02:47 PM (16748 Views)
Anyone keeping track of Audis DTM efforts will immediately recognize one very regular face in the Geneva Motor Show stand of Abt Sportsline. One of the brothers behind the fabled Audi tuning brand, Hans Juergen Abt is also the Team Director of Audi Sports Team Abt Sportsline. No surprise, Hans Juergen was on hand at Geneva to help launch his companys new R8 GT S and the tuning mogul was kind enough to sit down with us for a brief chat. Heres a quick rundown of what he told us.
On Abt Company History
The Abt company has been in business before there was even a car. In the 1800s the Abt clan was modifying wagons and buggies albeit with less of a high-performance take. However, converting the horse-drawn contraptions to runners for winter use was quite lucrative and helped position the company to be an early adopter of the automobile by the time the carriage went horseless.
Abts tie with Audi goes back longer than you might expect. Prior to World War 2, the Abts managed a dealership for Auto Union. Following the war, the Abt family also took on the Volkswagen brand and, by the 1970s, had begun modifying the Volkswagen Golf and racing it in the Golf Cup.
By the time the Ur quattro arrived on the scene, the Abt family was well seasoned in the art of performance so tuning and upgrades for the legendary all-wheel drive coupe came quite naturally.
On the R8 GTR and new R8 GT S
When Abt Sportsline launched the R8 GTR hot on the heels of its own R8 LMS racing team, the brand stated theyd build just 25 of the cars. To this date 20 have been ordered and/or delivered though none have yet sold in the States.
We noted parts like the carbon fiber mirrors appear to be taken directly from the R8 LMS racing program and inquired about the many components that make up the GTR for R8 owners who might be interested in doing some of the changes without buying one of the planned 25. Mr. Abt said items like the mirrors can be sold separately but that others such as the rear plexiglass cannot. As it turns out, the plexiglass requires the carbon fiber rear hatch and rear wing, which also all requires the GTRs rollcage. A major component set such as this has been reserved only for GTR orders.
On the DTM Coming to America
Hans Juergen Abt is quite excited about the prospects for the DTM coming to America. Organizers of the Grand-Am series announced late last year that the DTM model would be rolled into Grand-Am race weekends by the 2013 racing season and we asked him about it.
Intentionally, we stayed away from asking Mr. Abt to confirm Audi involvement in the series but did ask him what his take was on the American move and if he saw potential for his company in that eventuality. Hans Juergen explained that he saw a lot of potential, be that fielding a team or providing support to an American operation and also added that it should be very good for the series as a whole.

A novel fabrication method for LIGA (from the German "Lithographie", "Galvanik", and "Abformung") microneedles with through holes is presented. Such microneedles are in demand by most bio-medical MEMS applications and in some fluidic MEMS applications. We propose a technique that combines conventional deep X-ray lithography, plane-pattern to cross-section transfer (PCT) process, and alignment X-ray lithography. The technique provides precise hole alignment with ± 3 μm tolerance. Finite-element simulations on various hole locations were performed to determine the optimum position. We previously fabricated a microneedle with a 100-μm base and a 300-μm height by a right-triangular mask. The resultant microneedle had a very sharp tip but was excessively steep, and thus resulted in a very low strength. Improved strength and tip sharpness was consequently achieved by changing the mask-pattern from a triangular pattern to a polygonal mask and changing the dimensions of the microneedle to have a 300-μm base with various heights between 350 and 800 μm. Using the proposed technique, we could produce a total of 100 hollow microneedles on a 5 × 5 mm2 chip. Moreover, we successfully fabricated sharpened microneedles that were stronger than that we have fabricated so far. The molding process or electroplating and the cost list of the LIGA microneedle will also be included.

Birds communicate by the production of vocalizations and non-vocal sounds (like the drumming of a woodpecker or the wing-whirring of an American woodcock). Dr. Herb Wilson of Colby College will begin by describing how bird vocalizations are created. Using a number of examples, he will examine the diversity of vocal and non-vocal sounds. He will show how different sounds can communicate a variety of messages. You will learn how and why some birds mimic others, how some birds can harmonize with themselves and vocalizations can even be used to fly in the dark. Come to the songfest!
Dr. Herb Wilson is a professor of biology at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. He has a broad range of ornithological interests. Over the past quarter century in Maine, he has conducted research on the ecology of Black-capped Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatches, Palm Warblers, Semipalmated Sandpipers and Purple Finches. For the past 20 years, he has been tracking patterns of spring arrival of migratory breeding birds with the assistance of over 200 citizen scientists.

The jet engine is an integral part of the commercial aircraft and is a determining factor behind aircraft selection by all airlines. More time and money is spent on the jet engine than on any other component and it is not surprising that considerable developments in technology have made the modern day engine vastly different to those engines which were designed in the 1930s. We have determined that the value of the global commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market in 2013 will reach $24.6bn.
Whilst deregulation has altered the make up of the wider aviation industry, this is not the case within the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market. The industry is still heavily concentrated on three main companies - GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce, coupled with a few joint venture partnerships that deal with specific engine programmes. High barriers to entry, the importance placed on establishing a reputation for quality, and considerable sums earned from after sales services mean that this market structure for new jet engines is unlikely to change.

Watch your weight are you in ideal weight? Just you can check like this height in cm. minus 100 is your ideal weight. i.e 175cm-100 = 75 this your weight. Lose your excess FAT from your body. you can visit my site www.shapeofyourlifeindia.com/vanand
It's very well done, illustrated and clear for a lay person. Learn Nutrition and English. Match the two.
Thanks to Allah that He created us with an excellent body & also abundance of nutritious food to maintain it. Negligence to maintain it is unforgiveable. Nature will surely take its revenge from those who take their bodies as granted. A fair knowledge of Nutritious Food & Proper Excercise is what we require to stay healthy. I highly appreciate Rocky's endeavour in this regard...
It is important to note that the presentation has brought out the issue of Organic junk food. some time we eat it and continue to pretend that it is okey and healthy. but she has said it all Junk Food is Junk food. period.

A self-styled "Jewish Indiana Jones" who claimed he criss-crossed the globe rescuing Torahs is to face fraud charges after authorities said he duped benefactors by fabricating dramatic stories about sometimes dangerous trips. Court papers say that 50-year-old Menachem Youlus carried out the fraud from at least 2004 until last year, pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars through the "Save a Torah" charity he co-founded in 2004 as a not-for-profit organisation.
He is accused of passing off Torahs he bought from US dealers to synagogues and congregations nationwide, sometimes at inflated rates. It is alleged that he put nearly one-third of the $1.2m (£735,000) collected by the group into his personal accounts and on personal expenses. More than $1m was forwarded by the charity to the accounts of Mr Youlus's bookshop.
The publicly stated mission of the charity was to locate and acquire Torahs that survived the Holocaust. But investigators say there are no facts to support claims that Mr Youlus rescued an "Auschwitz Torah" in Poland in 2004 or discovered a Torah in 2002 that had been hidden during the Second World War at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany.
A review of travel records showed that Mr Youlus did not travel to Poland in 2004 and that he didn't travel internationally from early 2001 to August 2004, when he claimed to have made the trip to Germany. Mr Youlus's lawyer, Paul Rooney, said: "We deny this accusation, and anything else we have to say will be said in court."

The manager of an exclusive boutique hotel (who shall remain nameless) exposes the low-life styles of the rich and famous.
And we're not talking just loud all-night bashes…
The anonymous author has encountered lavish drug parties, gorgeous call girls, naked guests falling out of windows, $9,000 bottles of wine, astronomical telephone porn bills, bathtubs of Evian, and on more than one occasion, dead sheep. And every dirty word of it is true.
This is a trawl through the decadence and debauchery of the ultimate service industry—where money not only talks, but gets guests the best room, the best service, and also entitles them to behave in any way they please.

@mrjonesLocale: best place in the world !?
i have a question…
will the Maccat Deluxe tarp be long enough to give me decent/effective/safe coverage if i was using the Warbonnet XLC Blackbird hammock?
going by all the online measurements, im sure that the original BB would be fine, but think the XLC may be a bit long, any real world answers?
@kat_pLocale: Pacific Coast
From what I could find all Warbonnet Hammocks have a structural ridgeline of 100 inches. Even if the hammock itself is longer the ridgeline determines how long it really is under the tarp. The Maccat deluxe is 130 inches long so you should be fine. A lot depends on how you pitch it, but I think you have enough coverage even in some real weather.
The XLC has a 110 inch ridge line You still should be dry under a MacCat Deluxe.
@papasmurfLocale: Dream Hammock
In foul weather, you may need to hang this tarp slightly lower to provide enough coverage on the ends, but it should work just fine.
There's a tarp coverage calculator on the right hand side of this page on my website.
It's made for different hammocks and different tarps, but might be helpful for your gear.
@brooklynkayakLocale: South West US
Yes, hang your tarp lower if you think you could get wind blown rain/snow.
I am also a big fan of the Warbonnet hammock sock when the weather could be cold/wet/windy.
I set it up ready to use when I hang my hammock, but roll it up and tie it along the ridgeline until I need it.
It helps add warmth, especially in wind, and helps keep spray, splash and snow from getting on you and your puffy layers. You pack up relatively dry gear which saves weight.
It also makes it so you can get by with a smaller/lighter tarp in adverse conditions.
No need to carry a heavier/bulky winter tarp and you can extend the temps of your insulation.
Your experience with a sock may be different than mine, but I consider it one of the best ways to reduce weight. 9 ounces for a Warbonnet Travel Sock saves more weight that you would have to carry with your additional insulation and tarp coverage for adverse weather.

Andrea, Bill and I had a dachshund/German shepherd mix (no, I don't
know how
that happened) that one morning (4:00 a.m. or so) presented me with a
dead rat at the back door! Mice I'd dealt with, but this was the
first rat.
I woke the neighborhood as well as Bill, who was smart enough to
praise the
dog. I never saw another rat around the property as long as the dog
(I think he knew it was good to catch them, but not drop them on my
again. LOL!!!)
If you go the rat terrier method, remember to praise him/her when a
rat has
been "neutralized."

Intergeneric Relationships Among Macropodoidea (Metatheria: Diprotodontia) and The Chronicle of Kangaroo Evolution
- Cite this article as:

The superfamily of kangaroos (Macropodoidea) is comprised of the subfamilies Propleopinae, Hypsiprymnodontinae, Paleopotoroinae, Potoroinae, Bulungamayinae, Balbarinae, Macropodinae, and Sthenurinae. Of these, Hypsiprymnodontinae, Potoroinae, and Macropodinae are extant. Competing phylogenetic hypotheses unite potoroines with either hypsiprymnodontines or macropodines, with most recent workers following a classificatory scheme that recognizes Hypsiprymnodontidae (hypsiprymnodontines) and Macropodidae (macropodines + potoroines). To address phylogenetic relationships among living macropodoids, we analyzed sequences from three mitochondrial genes (12S rRNA, tRNA valine, 16S rRNA) and one nuclear gene (protamine P1). MtDNA and protamine P1 both support a basal split of Hypsiprymnodon from other macropodoids rather than an association of Hypsiprymnodon with potoroines. This suggests that bipedal hopping and a complex stomach evolved once among macropodids. Monophyly of the Macropodinae is supported. Among macropodines, there is support for a Dorcopsis-Dorcopsulus association. Potoroine monophyly is less clear, although among potoroines there is support for an association of Bettongia and Aepyprymnus. Divergence times were estimated using 12S rRNA, tRNA-valine, and 16S rRNA transversions and suggest that kangaroos separated from a possum-like ancestor approximately 38–44 million years ago. Hypsiprymnodon diverged from other macropodoids approximately 34 to 38 million years ago. In agreement with the fossil record, the diversification of potoroines predates the diversification of macropodines. The latter have radiated in association with the development of a more arid climate and emergent grasslands over the Australian continent.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Regular readers know that I'm not a fan of the proposed LA-San Francisco high-speed rail project, and as the projected costs have ballooned I've become even less of a fan. But lord almighty, stuff like this could change my mind:
The fast trains connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco would create new communities of high-density apartments and small homes around stations, reducing the suburbanization of California, rail advocates say. That new lifestyle would mean fewer cars and less gasoline consumption, lowering California's contribution to global warming.
....Opponents, most of whom are political conservatives, regard the ambitious project as a classic government overreach that will require taxpayer subsidies. But they also see something more sinister: an agenda to push people into European or Asian models of dense cities, tight apartments and reliance on state-provided transportation.
...."It is a real movement in California of controlling the masses, controlling land use, deciding where people should live," said Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Tulare). "I oppose that absolutely, because it is a form of left-wing social engineering."
...."It has nothing to do with transportation. This is entirely social policy," said Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Granite Bay). "It is all about the far left's fever dream to get mother Earth back to a pristine condition by elbowing us into these dense urban cores."
So who spilled the beans, anyway? Now the whole world knows that we lefties are drooling over the prospect of taking away everyone's homes and engineering a forced march into modern-day high-rise concentration camps where the cable companies don't offer Fox News. All the better to control you with, my sweeties.
Yeesh. But that's the mindset we're up against. Not we're giving people more lifestyle choices but your lifestyle choice is inherently insulting to the one I prefer. And sweet reason will do little to change this. As Matt Yglesias, one of our most vocal proponents of denser lifestyles, says, "A lot of the time there's genuinely no substitute for changing people's minds."

Over the years the scope may have changed, from Tupac rapping about his Explorer Eddie Bauer to Bugattis and the like popping up in any number of songs or videos, but cars have always been a consistent component of urban music and music videos.

The Financial Times is reporting today that Audi board member Pter Schwarzenbauer recently commented about the upcoming Audi A2 and a likely 'app store' that would go along with it.
