Mr Kennedy was asked about his
reputation as someone with a "fondness for drink".
He said: "If you are
accusing me of being a fairly sociable person who likes most of the creature
comforts of life, the answer is yes, but don't allow that to disguise the fact
that I am fighting a vigorous and determined campaign on behalf of the Liberal
Asked by Jeremy Paxman how much he drank, Mr Kennedy replied: "Moderately, socially, as you well know."
"You don't drink privately... by yourself, a bottle of scotch late at night?"
"No, I do not. No."
Mr Kennedy denied claims in The Sun newspaper that his
drinking habits were causing problems in the party.
He said: "I'm a sociable human being and that's been my way for the last 20
years in the House of Commons and I haven't changed.
"I think it would be a bit late to try to pretend that I had changed my
character and personality at this stage."
Following concerns about his health, Mr Kennedy said: "There is more exercise, there's no doubt about that. Alcohol is
next to zero, and I'm trying, although I cannot honestly look you in the eye and
say I've yet conquered Everest, but I'm trying to cut out the nicotine."
"I certainly do not have a drink
problem. I have always been a sociable person. And I am not about to change
But that is no impediment or interference with my life in general or
leadership in particular."
Asked if he drank too much,
Mr Kennedy replied: "No. And if people have that concern, they should not have
that concern, you're sitting right next to me now, you can tell and you see me
prove regularly that I'm as healthy as healthy can be.
"But, equally as a public
figure and as a party leader, perception is extremely important. Now I can't
prove negatives, nobody can prove negatives in life, all I can do is demonstrate
that I'm on form, firing on all cylinders and up for the task in hand."
Asked if he was cutting back on alcohol, he said: "Yes, I'm actually an
extremely moderate and infrequent consumer of alcohol as a matter of fact."
When asked if it had been a "battle to stay off the booze" and whether he had any medical support at all, he said: "No, no, no, that is not
the case, it is a matter on all fronts - if there's something my doctor really
wants me to do over this holiday period as a matter of fact is give us smoking,
and I think he's right."
Mr Kennedy dismissed claims he drank too much, saying: "If there's a perception about an anxiety on that front there needn't be."

Another complete cooling system replacement done
Yesterday we did a complete cooling system replacement in my 99 528i. I had no signs of leaks but at 108K miles figured it would be good to do.
Replaced, radiator, expansion tank, hoses, idler and tension rollers, water pump, thermostat, fan, fan clutch, and fan pulley.
The hardest portion of the job was removing the fan nut, used 32mm wrench, heated with oxy/acetylene torch, air chisel, nothing, would not budge. Ended up drilling a hole through nut into WP threads and putting in more liquid wrench, finally broke free. Unbelievable as the nut looked in such good condition i.e. not all rusted, and after removed the threads were fine.
Yes we used anti-seize on new nut.
My water pump had metal impellers and looked brand new as did thermostat.
Ones all was replaced we used an airlift device to decompress the entire cooling system and 'sucked' in all new coolant and water, no bleeding required! Never saw this in action neat.
Well done, few, and thanks to all for my questions leading up to this.
How much did the whole thing cost, I am replacing my water pump and thermostat in 2 weeks, I think I am going to do the hoses also just to play it safe.
man your not lieing that fan nut was the biggest pain getting back on, there was no room to hold up the fan while turning the nut, that took us 30 minutes to put on..did you use any Redline Water Wetter with your new coolant, I used it.. the temp gauge is just slightly left of normal
Some thoughts:
dmako, glad you did it, you will drive with peace of mind knowing that the next cooling job is some 80K away :)
1. 32-mm fan clutch nut, easy for me, simply use a long screwdriver and a big whack COUNTERCLOCKWISE...the fan clutch came out in 1 minute.
2. Redline Water wetter IMHO is snake oil :):):)
(I use Redline MT-90 in my manual trans and Redline 80W90 in rear diff).
So Water Wetter is unproven, a marketing tactic...........
i love my BluePoint Airlift tool. going to flush my system every year so i'll be putting mine to good use.
that nut definitely was a deal breaker for me too. I actually even ordered the special tool for that fan holder, it was still hard.
so $616.00 was all on parts? you did all the labor?
Ignore this......
hey dmako,
It is cn90...how is your baby running, good I guess?
I used the screw driver trick and in one whack with 32-mm wrench, it came right out.
Anyway, glad you did it......I did it alone so it was boring listening to music. At least you have a buddy to bs while doing the cooling job LMAO :)
Actually you are right, you can do the whole thing in 4-5 hours. It took me the entire Saturday because:
1. I did not have a repair manual (I have fixed so many cars before so I kind of used my common sense to get through this job)
2. I had to take notes and photos and verified bolt sizes in preparation for the write-up.
The write-up itself took another brutal 10 hours!!! To this date I have not made a single penny from my write-up....but I benefited from the bimmerboard forum for other things so I "paid" back by writing it up so other can benefit from it.......LMAO :) :) :)
Now you can drive in peace (D.I.P.) knowing that your cooling system will not let you down............
Also I am hoping as a bonus, I had a whine when cold and an indy told me it need a new clutch kit $1000. With the cooling overhaul I don't hear the whine any more.
Now it may be the fact that it is warmer now, not absolutely sure, but hoping.
But it didn't fix my VANOS cold idle issue, oh well.
Look can be deceiving
Your old parts may have looked OK, but functionally they are close the end of their life.
I bet you the whining thing may have been from a worn tensioner/roller.
I can tell you (see my write-up), the WP looked like new but when I applied pressure, the bearing is already worn (there was a play in the pulley); the nroller grease already dried out.
I am surprised your indy told you you need a clutch. The whine from tensioner/roller happens at rest, even without the car moving.
Re: clutch don't worry, my last car E23 (83 735i) the clutch went at 12y and 120K miles.
And it gives warning such as slipping. So I am pretty sure you do not have the clutch problem.
Anyway, now enjoy the drive!
For me idler and tension rollers, water pump, thermostat, upper and lower hoses, belts, and cabin air filters = ~214.00
In my write-up, EVERYTHING IN THE COOLING DEPARTMENT WAS INCLUDED.
In addition to your list, I also replaced:
- Radiator $170 or so
- Reservoir $55
- thermostat housing $30 or so
- There is a difference between 'rollers' and tensioners'
Unless you are aprt distributor yourself, in my write-up the retail for all thoses parts is $550 or so, give or take a bit
yeah... no fun included. just blew thru the whole disassembly and reinstall all at once... nonstop.
RE: your vanos issue is with the $h|t seal BMW uses in there. check the FAQ for the techincal thread on Roadfly about it.
Been there, time to bring that thread back to life? LOL

MotherWoman Announces Six Massachusetts Communities to Receive Community-based Perinatal Support Model© Brockton, Cape Cod, Lynn, New Bedford, Springfield, and Worcester
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—May 19, 2014
Liz Friedman
MotherWoman Program Director
MotherWoman Announces Six Massachusetts Communities to Receive Community-based Perinatal Support Model©
Brockton, Cape Cod, Lynn, New Bedford, Springfield, and Worcester
Hadley, MA— MotherWoman, a nonprofit organization aimed at creating community safety nets for mothers at risk for or experiencing perinatal emotional complications like depression and anxiety, is extending the Community-based Perinatal Support Model© (CPSM) to six communities across the state to address the issue of perinatal depression. The expansion of the CPSM will ensure that thousands more mothers and families can receive the support they need when they experience perinatal emotional complications. The CPSM provides communities with the tools they need to create a comprehensive safety net for mothers across systems including medical, mental health, social service and community programs. Funding for this project is made available through the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project (MCPAP). MCPAP is expanding the successful psychiatry access program for pediatric providers to address the issues of maternal mental health. MCPAP for Moms, the new program, will provide psychiatric referral services for maternal medical care providers and pediatric providers. The CPSM is a key component of the MCPAP for Moms expansion, supporting communities to address the issues of perinatal depression in communities across MA.
"I had thought postpartum depression couldn't happen to me. When I was experiencing a severe postpartum crisis, my healthcare providers did not know how to help me, nor could they direct me to community resources. It was scary and disempowering, until I found MotherWoman. The MotherWoman support group truly saved my life, and also directed me to providers who helped me recover. I am looking forward to the time when all moms will be screened for postpartum depression, just as we get screened for gestational diabetes and other possible complications." - Liz Reinke, MotherWoman Support Group participant.
Research shows that 10 – 20% of mothers experience postpartum depression. These numbers drastically increase when additional risk factors like poverty, domestic violence, addiction and teen pregnancy are taken into consideration. When undiagnosed and untreated, postpartum depression can have severe negative effects on mother, infant and birth outcomes, including infant low birth weight and social, emotional and cognitive developmental challenges to babies and children. This results in an increase in medical expenses, visits to the ER and loss of income to families. This demonstrates the importance of addressing perinatal emotional complications and expanding the CPSM statewide. MotherWoman has already demonstrated the impact the CPSM can make on a community ready to address perinatal emotional complications through their work with Franklin County. Within 18 months of implementing the CPSM, Franklin County saw significant change in coalition development, public education, professional training, community resources/support groups, screening, and referral/triage protocol, all aimed to improve maternal mental health.
The success in Franklin County demonstrates the importance of implementing the CPSM in additional communities to increase available resources to address perinatal emotional complications and allows for mothers to receive the necessary care and treatment they need to improve maternal and family outcomes. Expanding the CPSM within these six communities will ensure that mothers and families have access to essential resources to improve perinatal emotional complications.
"MotherWoman is thrilled to bring the CPSM to new communities across Massachusetts. The CPSM has demonstrated great success within the communities already implementing it. We know that when communities implement the CPSM they are able to address barriers to care like stigma, lack of training, and public education by helping care providers join together in identifying the needs of women with perinatal emotional complications. MotherWoman is committed to providing mothers and families with the care and treatment necessary for recovery in communities across the Commonwealth" said Shannon Koehn, Executive Director of MotherWoman.
Recipients of the Community-based Perinatal Support Model© will be provided with resources and training to create community coalitions which in turn will expand professional trainings for providers, identify and expand community resources, and ultimately create a system of care that allows for easy referral for mothers when they need it the most. The recipient communities were selected through a competitive Request For Proposal Process. The CPSM has three main goals:
- To increase knowledge of perinatal emotional complications among all service care providers (mental health, human service, medical) and introduce communities to the CPSM.
- To create integrated, community-based safety nets for mothers at risk for or experiencing perinatal emotional complications through the implementation of the CPSM.
- To increase access to mental health care for women and families through a network of statewide support groups.
Under MotherWoman's leadership, community leaders will be trained to develop this model in their own communities to fit their needs. The six communities include: the Baystate High Street Health Center-Pediatrics in Springfield, Cape Cod Child Development serving Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket, the Greater New Bedford Allies for Health and Wellness, Lynn Community Health Center, South Bay Mental Health-Brockton, and UMass Medical School/UMass Memorial Healthcare-OBGYN in Worcester.
- Baystate High Street Health Center Pediatrics (BHSHC-Peds) provides primary care to infants, children, and adolescents in Springfield. With a particular interest in toxic stress, BHSHC-Peds understands the importance of including pediatric providers in the screening, care and treatment for mothers and families experiencing perinatal emotional complications.
- Cape Cod Child Development provides primary care to infants, children, and adolescents in Springfield. With a particular interest in toxic stress, BHSHC-Peds understands the importance of including pediatric providers in the screening, care and treatment for mothers and families experiencing perinatal emotional complications.
- Greater New Bedford Allies for Health and Wellness, Inc. reaches an ethnically diverse population with a large portion of the population living in poverty, particularly important in implementing the CPSM due to the unique barriers addressed by this community.
- Lynn Community Health Center provides primary medical, behavioral health, eye care, and dental services to the diverse and medically underserved community of Lynn, MA. The OB/GYN team provides comprehensive Women's Health, Prenatal and Post-partum care that includes on-site behavioral health and case management support for all women.
- South Bay Mental Health Brockton reaches an extremely diverse population and understands the importance of addressing the societal and cultural barriers mothers experience when seeking care and treatment for addressing perinatal emotional complications.
- UMass Medical School/UMass Memorial Healthcare-OBGYN is the primary referral for high risk pregnancies and deliveries in Central MA. UMass Memorial Healthcare-OBGYN will be able to reach a particularly vulnerable population of mothers due to the increased risk factors associated with high risk pregnancies and complicated deliveries and perinatal emotional complications.
"We are honored to receive the opportunity to enhance our community knowledge and resources aimed at improving perinatal emotional complications. BHSHC-Peds has specific interest in toxic stress, which includes the impact maternal mental health may have on a child's developmental and behavioral outcomes. We are so excited to provide our community with additional resources that will support mothers and improve family outcomes" said Annamarie Golden, Manager, Community Relations and Community Benefit, Baystate Health.
"We are particularly aware of the long term consequences for mothers and families that experience perinatal emotional complications and the stigma associated with maternal mental health. We are honored to have to have the opportunity to work with MotherWoman and improve access to care and decrease the stigma associated with perinatal emotional complications within our community," said Mary Wilson, Coordinator, Cape and Islands Maternal Depression Task Force.
"We are so honored to have the opportunity to bring the CPSM to New Bedford. Our community has been working on improving perinatal emotional complications for a number of years. However, we are confident in the success we will see in bringing an even more collaborative approach to our community and expanding the resources available to mothers experiencing perinatal emotional complications," said Barbara Acksen, Chair, Greater New Bedford Allies for Health and Wellness, Inc.
"This is a great opportunity that will allow the health center to better serve women in our community who face barriers to care that include poverty, lack of transportation, isolation, domestic violence, substance abuse, homelessness, and language barriers. These challenges put our patients at a significantly higher risk for perinatal emotional complications. We look forward to working with our community partners to implement a program that provides support, opportunity and empowers mothers in the community," stated Dr. Alex Kochowiec, OB/GYN Medical Director, Lynn Community Health Center.
"The announcement from Mother Woman of their six awards for the Community-based Perinatal Support Model has demonstrated their commitment to the residents and families of Massachusetts. South Bay Mental Health is pleased to be part of this clinical initiative and award recipient for the Brockton area. We understand the importance of maternal depression on mother-infant interactions, parenting practices, and the long term consequences associated with it. We are hopeful the CPSM can bring us closer to making sure all mothers receive the care and treatment they need and we will have a long term positive impact on families within Massachusetts," said Michael L. Pelletier, President and Chief Operating Officer, South Bay Mental Health Center Brockton.
"UMass Memorial Healthcare-OBGYN is thrilled to bring this model to Worcester. It is our goal to improve screening and overcome the barriers many mothers experiencing perinatal emotional complications report in receiving care and treatment. We know we can have success with the help of the CPSM," said Mary Elizabeth Gamache, CNM, NP, UMass Memorial Healthcare-OBGYN.
"We know MCPAP for Moms, which is a psychiatry referral program for providers caring for mother and children benefits from partnering with communities to gain the highest level of success. Therefore, we find it important to incorporate programs like the CPSM that promote community coalitions and active involvement of community leaders. There is no wrong door. We want every woman to get the services she needs," said Dr. John Straus, Senior Executive of MCPAP.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/5/2014 (1149 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Soprano Sarah Kirsch, with her pianist Christopher Kayler, have won this year's prestigious Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition.
The E-Gré, which began in 1976, is held annually at the Brandon University school of music and is an annual event focusing on the exceptional performance of contemporary music by Canada's top emerging artists.
The competition rotates through voice, strings and piano competition, with this year's event focused on voice.
Eight of Canada's best emerging singers and their collaborative pianists gathered at BU from Friday through Sunday, with three finalists chosen to perform in the final round of public recitals on Sunday.
Each semifinal and final recital were required to include at least 50 per cent Canadian music as well as this year's commissioned work "Execution Songs" by Andrew Staniland.
First place winner, Sarah Kirsch, received an almost $17,000 award including a cash prize of $10,000, a three-week residency and debut recital in Italy at the Casalmaggiore International Music Festival, and a 10-15 city cross-Canada winner's tour in November.
"Chris and I are honoured to have been a part of the competition," Kirsch said. "We were thrilled to be invited to the semifinals and it was a wonderful surprise to be invited to the finals. We are grateful to be among the gifted visionaries in contemporary music. It is very humbling."
Second prize winner Andréanne Paquin, received a cash prize of $5,000 and third prize winner, Alexandra Smither received a cash prize of $3,000. The city of Brandon prize of $1,000 for the best performance of the 2014 commissioned piece was awarded to mezzo soprano Catherine Anne Daniel.

Children of the Amazon airs on PBS on Earth Day
April 22nd, 2010 | Published in Google Earth
In 2008, Brazilian filmmaker Denise Zmekhol joined the Google Earth Outreach team to train the Surui people of the Brazilian rainforest on Google tools to help preserve their way of life. One year later, in 2009, another team went back to the Amazon to teach the indigenous people how to use GPS-enabled mobile phones and mobile data collection tools, including Open Data Kit on the Android platform, to show the world where and when illegal logging is taking place within their protected territory. Trading Bows and Arrows for Laptops -- One Year Later, documents the story.
Today, on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day 2010, Denise's film, Children of the Amazon, will air on over 100 PBS stations nationwide, as well as on Link TV. Check your local listings for your PBS affiliate's local screening.
Learn more about the film, view a trailer, watch a video about deforestation in Rondonia using Google Earth's historical imagery and explore maps inspired by the film at www.childrenoftheamazon.com.

I got a Brazilian Blowout!
Check it out: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlre...zilian-blowout
Wow - it looks so shiny and the curls are gorgeous. What products are you using to shampoo, condish, etc? I'll be interested in hearing an update and how long it lasts.
I'm confused about the part where you said Felice coated your hair with the lotion-like solution, then lightly dusted it.
How does your scalp feel? The shine looks great.
Very nice results! And I"m glad to see the curls are still there.
I gotta say though... $250-$450 every 12 weeks?! Who can afford that?!!! (and would they care to sponsor me :P )
I guess I should edit it. She lightly coated the hair. My scalp felt fine. No burning or discomfort. Felt very gentle. No chemical smell at all, which surprised me.
do they do these at most? I'm scared to get it done because, I to don't want to lose my curls now that I love them. The shine looks so good though!!!
I can only speak to what I had done, which was the Brazilian Blowout. And I definitely have my curls, which I'm happy about.
I'm amazed at how great your second day hair looks. So shiny and frizz free and really flattering. (And I like you better with curls than straightened, to be honest.)
I'm gonna wait to see if my area gets any qualified people. I'd love to not have to battle every morning with the summer frizz. But, I may only do this for summer. That's pretty pricey to do every 3 months. Yoiks.
Although my lingering concern is that the flat-ironing process is actually doing internal damage that will only show once the keratin wears off, and so one would have to KEEP doing it or go through another cycle of "repairing the damage." I know, it's only once, but I do wonder just how hot and how much internal damage to seal that keratin.
I love that it didn't smell toxic or burn though. The other straightening Brazilian and Japanese treatments sound horrid. :D
I also wonder about the damage being done by the 450 degree hot iron. I haven't seen reviews by people after their treatment has grown out. It would be nice to know if it feels more damaged than before the treatment. Is the Keratin really enough to protect the hair during this treatment?
Are you using the line of BB products they want you to use? Do you use gel for your curls?
I'm having the Brazilian Blowout done in a week and half. I'm really looking forward to not having FRIZZ! I've bought every product on the market in the hopes of combatting frizz and none of them have worked the way I had hoped. I used to be a slave to my blow dryer and flat iron but have come to love my curls over the last 5 years. The only thing that I don't love is the frizz, my hair dries out and looks like a bell (no matter which hair cut I have!) as the day goes on and it ends up in my all too popular ponytail. I'm 39 and people still think I'm in high school when I have my hair in a ponytail. I guess that's not a bad thing really...but I'd like to wear my hair down every once in awhile, but it's just not an option for me now.
My stylist had the Brazilian Blowout done on her hair and it looks incredible! The shine is amazing and her hair actually moves...that's something I only experience when she blows my hair out straight after my appointment (its the only time it's blown out- I wear it curly every day and let it air dry).
What I'm hoping for is loose, shiny curls without frizz. I'm hoping this is the service for me! My sister in law had a Keratin Treatment done last year- I think it was Coppola. She had the dreaded 72 hr wait period, I know I can't deal with that. She usually wears her hair straight, she hasn't embraced her curly girl yet! I'm still working on that with her. :smile: I did meet her for dinner one night and it was pouring rain...a day when she would have been moaning and groaning about frizz. She walked from her car to the restaurant without an umbrella and her hair was not frizzy...it looked like she'd just come from the salon...meanwhile, I looked like I'd just stuck my finger in the light socket. The one thing that I can say about the treatment she had is that, although it was much softer (she has very coarse hair), it wasn't shiny. Not as shiny as I would think it should have been. I'm hoping that the Brazilian Blowout gives me the shine that I'm looking for.
I'm very excited and I'm anxiously waiting for my appointment!
Have a great week!
Call me for an appointment in Los Angeles for the best keratin treatment around. I have an amazing product, it took me a while to find the best one and I am happy to say I have! The most manageable hair, silky, shiny, no frizz and it takes literally 5 mins to blowdry and looks amazing with no product! Maintenance free hair for the next 3-4 months!
I will come to you, or vice versa :)
Call or email to schedule
I haven't experience any breakage from the heat
I haven't experienced any breakage from the heat
My BKT hadn't "grown out" but due to the use of products containing salt, and yes, I went into the ocean and got my hair a little wet, my hair, when curly, was really really frizzy...i guess it was "wearing off," however, when straight it looked great, but definately more poofy than before my salt binge...so anyhoo... I couldn't stand the sight of it! my curls are still pretty loose, but the frizz was killing me! So...i did something crazy...ready? I was going to order the coppola system on folica, but my local beauty supply store was selling a 8 ounce bottle. I checked with the company and it was legit...so i spent $200 bucks, i paid cash, so no tax, but I'm pretty sure you can get it cheaper on folica.com...anyhoo...i applied the product as directed, but mostly in the frizzier section...and left the sections others alone. I didn't do 10 passes, because i wasn't looking to straighten my hair, and washed after 48 hours...and totally used a clip and pony tail holder occassionaly during those 48 hours..the result? My curls are now frizz free! Now...I'm not telling anyone to do this themselves, but if you can flat iron your own hair, you can do this yourself...the fumes bugged me a little, but since I only used like.75 ounce AND made sure to keep the fan going, I didn't have major issues. I did this because, we're having a major heat wave in the northeast, and straight hair is not the thing for me right now. I needed my manageable curls back, and here they are. I know I sound kind of crazy, but I'm glad I did it. From now on I'm doing all of my Coppola treatments at home. I have 7 ounces left, and this should last me at least a year and save me HUNDREDS!
Hairguru17 -
I looked on folica.com, and I saw the Keratin Complex Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for $160 (8 oz.). Is that what you used?
I also saw Liquid Keratin on amazon.com. This sells for $49 and is a 30-day treatment.
Do you think it is a similar product?
Anyway, I hope you like your hair and that it works out. How does it look today? I recently spent $300 on the Coppola Keratin treatment (in April), and it already seems to be almost gone. I wish it wasn't so expensive because I really liked it. It made my hair silky soft and easy to style.
yes that's it
No, I don't think liquid keratin is the same product. i mean, it's got to be so cheap for a reason! I'd sooner stick to the real deal. Once I've used up my Coppola treatment, I plan to purchase Marcia Tiexteira from a distrubtor I know on another hair forum. From now on, I'm doing these treatments myself!
BTW...my hair looks great. I know I could have gotten straighter results had I done at least 10 passes and waited the 72 hours, but I'm happy. From now on I'm going to only co wash and use as little product as possible. This should stretch out the treatment. Hopefully, I won't need to do it again until the end of September because it is time consuming.
Hairguru17 -
That's great. I'm glad you like it. I've heard that the Marcia brand is also good, too.
What brand products (conditioner) are you using now to maintain it? I tend to wash my hair way too often - pretty much everyday - and I think that's why my Coppola wore off in 3 months.
Keep us posted as to how long it lasts. :)
I'm a nut
and spent the money for the BB brand shampoo and conditioner. When it's finished, I'll probably buy a mild shampoo and conditioner from whole foods or aubrey organics. At one point I purchased the giovanni tea tree shampoo, but it totally sripped my bkt...I'm trying to stay clear of any form of sodium in my products but it's hard. Different forms of sodium,. even the coconut derived ones, can be harmful to the treatment. However, the BB product contains some kind of Disodium...so hard! for My own reasons, I steer clear of anything containing citric acid. Although I can't find anything online, I'm on the fence about whether or not citric acid can strip a bkt, so I stay away.
Marcia Teixeira
Even if it said formeldahyde free..i wouldn't believe it. no way does just Keratin straighten your hair...all of these treatments have hydes in them, although BB seems to not use anything with hydes...but then again you can't purchase BB to do at home so I'll never know!

M$ To Clone Open Source
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, developer of the open source fire transfer tool rsync, Andrew 'Tridge' Tridgell has every reason to smile as Microsoft announced a similar utility will feature in the next Windows server release.
Speaking at this year's TechEd conference on the Gold Coast on Wednesday, Redmond-based Windows Server group director Iain McDonald said the next update of Windows Server 2003, dubbed "R2", will reduce bandwidth for file transfers for organizations with many branch offices.
"There is new functionality we wanted to be able to provide to you in R2," McDonald said. "First of all there is a bunch of stuff for branches. In the US there are new regulations about what [organizations] have to do on branches, what they have to keep around over longer terms. We had a look at that and in discussions we knew one of the big things was 'let's minimize the amount of bandwidth that stuff takes to get into a central location'."
To achieve this, Microsoft will introduce DFSR, or Distributed File System Replication, with R2, which is due for release later this year.

Nike has teamed up with TomTom to produce the Sportwatch to help runner track the miles they put in. Even armchair athletes will be able to check how far they have travelled to the fridge thanks to the inbuilt GPS functionality.
As well as GPS tracking, the watch also works with the Nike+ sensor which can be attached to a runner's laces or inserted into a compatible Nike shoe to measure distance and pace based on footfalls. This means not only will it work in places where GPS coverage is poor, runners can equally can monitor their progress on a treadmill when they aren't actually going anywhere.
Stefan Olander, VP of Nike Digital Sport says: "The Nike+ SportWatch GPS is a game-changing product that furthers our commitment to provide all athletes with unparalleled motivation and the tools to get better."
The watch is the latest addition to the deluge of products aimed at the fitness market and we can report that it feels very comfortable and light, with unobtrusive buttons which don't come into contact with the wrist when excercising. Thankfully, Nike has avoided the design trend of placing the watch face at a jaunty angle, a rediculous feature of timepieces designed by people who presume that athletes are to lazy to turn their arm at a natural angle to check the time.
The Sportwatch has a USB connector which is hidden in the strap's buckle, therefore not compromising the design for the sake of connectivity. This syncs up with Nike's software so that athletes can check on their performance and share their acheivements with Nike's running community.
As well as the easy-access buttons, the watch screen can be tapped to activate the backlight and register a lap. Other features include Heart Rate Monitor compatibility, achievement history and a post-run, err, rundown.
No word on price yet, but it launches 1 April in the US and UK and the rest of the world on 1 July.

JavaScript Enlightenment by
Cody Lindley is a guide to JavaScript by
giving native objects centre stage. It's self-published and available as
a PDF for \$15 through Google Checkout and PayPal (bulk licensing is
also available).
The book begins with an explanation of objects and properties:
In JavaScript, objects are king: Almost everything is an object or acts like an object. Understand objects and you will understand JavaScript. So let's examine the creation of objects in JavaScript.
Objects are explored in detail, with full examples of constructors,
native constructors, literals, and even how values are stored and
copied. Each example has source code with a link to jsFiddle, so it's
easy to play around with examples to attain new levels of JavaScript
Some of the more confusing aspects of JavaScript are covered early on,
particularly object comparison, primitive value object wrapping, and
prototype chain property reference resolution. The language used is
clear and easy to follow:
All object instances have a property that is a secret link (aka proto) to the constructor function that created the instance. This secret link can be leveraged to grab the constructor function, specifically the prototype property of the instance's constructor function.
Other fundamental JavaScript concepts like using
hasOwnProperty to correctly enumerate over objects are also
explained. In fact, I really couldn't find anything missing. If you've
ever wondered why JSLint is complaining about something, the root cause
is likely to be explained somewhere in this book.
The author even references modern libraries like
It's also encouraging to see solid coverage of
objects -- one of the hidden aspects of JavaScript that can unlock
serious power if used carefully. Slightly confusingly,
apply and
call are only covered briefly here,
with more thorough coverage in chapter 6. The split between explaining
this and
Function felt slightly awkward, which
is one of the reasons why this book works better taken as a whole rather
than discrete chunks.
The author carefully notes where JavaScript implementations deviate from
the ECMA standard, and explains the cleanest way to mitigate this.
If you've ever wondered how prototypal inheritance works, or just want
to bolster your JavaScript knowledge, this is an extremely potent book.
It's short -- readable in a handful of sittings, but it works best read
from start to finish.
Although the technical foundation of this book is solid and the writing
is clear and concise, it would benefit from an editor with a more
scrupulous eye. There are a few typographical and grammatical errors
that conspire to undermine the author's authority. For example, I got
extremely tired of repeatedly reading the phrase the take away.
Hopefully Cody will keep publishing new editions, so don't let this stop
you from reading one of the most interesting books on JavaScript this

The world has gradually witnesssed the destruction –murder, that is– of thousands of people by the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Of course, this petty ruler has been aided and assisted by "democratic" government of the Supreme Ruler of the world, Vladimir Putin. A shipment of missiles from Russia to Syria was targeted, bombed and destroyed by the Israeli air force when their presence in Syria was discovered. It is now clear Israeli sources were responsible for this source of violence and destruction.
We can assume the United States will look the other way even though this was an act of war. Each day uncovers new evidence of recreating the meaning of what constitutes legal or illegal actions in Syria. How about a "no fly" zone?

However the Exiles have come to an agreement with Armitage that paves the way for him to return to France, where he grew up as a child.
And coach Philippe Saint-Andre was quick to welcome his new arrival who will replace Australian George Smith.
He said: "He's a very fast player and very powerful, given his size and his weight. He can also play at centre and he speaks French."
The move, however, will almost certainly stop him adding to his five England caps - the last of which he won against Italy in the 2010 RBS 6 Nations - with the RFU promising to only pick foreign-based players in 'exceptional circumstances'.
The openside flanker had already slipped down the pecking order for the No.7 shirt with James Haskell starting there in the 2011 RBS 6 Nations while both captain Lewis Moody and Hendre Fourie are also ahead of him.
Ironically, Armitage's replacement at Irish could be Fourie after Leeds accused the Exiles of making an illegal approach for his services.

PARIS - Radovan Karadzic faced a judge on Friday for the second time since his arrest and quickly seized the chance to demonstrate his defense strategy.
After his first month in the custody of the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, was back in court, seeming more relaxed, and evidently fully engaged with the proceedings against him. He refused to enter pleas to all 11 charges against him and dismissed the tribunal as a "court of NATO" disguised as a court of the international community.
But, acting as his own defense lawyer, he has already fired off lengthy motions, letters and requests in recent days. He wants copies of warrants to search his former home, copies of orders to freeze his assets, and answers to his challenge of the court's jurisdiction. He has demanded to know whether NATO or the United States intended to kill him, as he has claimed.
The hearing on Friday was one of a series of steps leading up to his trial on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes during the Bosnian war between 1992 and 1995.
Prosecutors will seek to prove that as political leader and commander in chief of a Bosnian Serb mini-state, he bears the legal responsibility for some of the greatest atrocities of the Balkan wars, including a massacre in Srebrenica, where close to 8,000 unarmed men and boys were executed in 1995, and the three-year siege of Sarajevo, which left 10,000 civilians dead.
Seated between blue-uniformed U.N. guards, Karadzic alternately delivered broadsides against the court and tried to joke with the judge, seated across the room.
But Iain Bonomy, the Scottish judge in charge of the proceedings, kept a brisk pace, giving Karadzic little chance to stray from the day's agenda.
The judge asked the defendant to rise to enter his pleas. In the indictment, he began, "you are charged with genocide. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?"
Karadzic, standing, replied: "I will not plead.'standing, replied: "I will not plead."
In keeping with court rules, the judge said, he would enter for all 11 charges the words "not guilty."
Karadzic resumed his seat, and called out: "May I hold you to your word?"
"Which word?" asked the judge.
"That I'm not guilty," said Karadzic.
"We shall see in due course," the judge replied.
The next hearing was set for Sept. 17.

NBC Sports Reportedly Confirms It Will Remain Sponsor Of Nation's Largest Gun Trade Show
A spokesperson for NBC Sports has reportedly confirmed that the network will remain a top sponsor for the nation's largest gun trade show. Organizers have billed the event, which comes during a fierce debate over strengthening gun laws, as a show of industry strength in the face of such laws.
Bloomberg News reports [1] that the spokesman further stated that the network participates as a sponsor "as part of our commitment to our outdoor-programming block":
NBC Sports Network will remain the 2013 SHOT Show New Product Center Sponsor, said Greg Hughes, a spokesman for the channel. One of NBC's marquee broadcasters, Bob Costas [2], criticized gun laws weeks before the Connecticut shooting, after the murder-suicide of a Kansas City Chiefs football player.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc.'s SHOT Show last year billed itself as "more than about selling and buying; it's a powerful display of industry unity and its resolve to meet any challenge affecting the right to make, sell and own firearms." The NSSF is headquartered in Newtown, Connecticut, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults in an elementary school on Dec. 14 with a semiautomatic rifle.
NBC Sports Network, formerly called Versus, has been a sponsor of the show for "several years," according to Hughes. The cable channel airs hunting and fishing shows and participates as a sponsor "as part of our commitment to our outdoor-programming block," Hughes said in a telephone interview.
Media Matters first reported [3] on the network's sponsorship of the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) earlier today. In addition to hunting rifles, the gun manufacturers and dealers who attend the SHOT Show will view an array of assault rifles, tactical shotguns, and pistols with high-capacity magazines.
According to the event's organizer [4], the gun manufacturer and dealer trade association National Shooting Sports Foundation, "Any SHOT attendee will tell you the show is more than about selling and buying; it's a powerful display of industry unity and its resolve to meet any challenge affecting the right to make, sell and own firearms."
The event appears to promote the same dangerous "gun culture" that NBC Sports' Bob Costas referenced [5] in his now-famous Football Night in America commentary following the murder-suicide committed by Kansas City Chiefs football player Jovan Belcher.

Apple iPod Nano (old)
Because the newer 'fat' nano's have been released the older versions of this tiny music player can now be had for bargain prices. Sure the newer nano's have a larger screen, but it is still too tiny to watch a movie or tv show from comfortably. The surface of the older nano's do scratch easily but it's a small price to pay since these are going for so cheap now.

About Jack Whelbourne
Jack Whelbourne represented Team GB in short track speed skating at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. They were his debut Games and he placed 16th in the 1500m, as well as being a member of the 5000m relay team which placed sixth.
He began skating at the age of six and first represented Great Britain as a junior eight years later. After an impressive junior career, which included becoming Junior World Champion in 2011, Jack has become a successful senior that has already won a number individual medals at the European Championships, including gold in 2011 and silver in 2012 both in the 500-metres.
Jack has achieved several top eight finishes at the ISU World Cup series over the past two seasons in a range of distances. He will be competing in all the distances at Sochi, and despite favouring the 500-metres, Jack feels he is stronger over the 1000 and 1500-metres.
Jack, who has lived in Nottingham all his life, trains and competes alongside his sister Alex Stanley and brother-in-law Paul Stanley, who are also long standing members of the national squad and both accomplished skaters.
Jack's girlfriend is Elise Christie and they have recently moved in together. He has a Chihuahua called JJ (Jack Junior), who is kept company by Elise's dog Benji and her two cats. He is a big fan of cars, motorbikes and mechanics, and his latest project is restoring a bright yellow1972 VW Beetle.

Schools breaking law on class sizes
New official figures show that hundreds of infants in England are being taught, illegally, in classes of more than 30 pupils.
The government's drive to cut sizes - one of the great pledges of the 1997 election - has been 99% successful.
It seems likely that the actual pledge - to have no five, six or seven year olds in classes of more than 30 by 2002 - will be met.
But the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 specified that the limit should apply from the current school year which began in September.
At this time last year, 30,000 children - 2% - were in classes of more than 30.
Teacher shortages
Figures on class sizes for September, released 15 November, show that the percentage of children in 30-plus classes has fallen from 22% in September 1998 to less than 1%.
The shortage of teachers in some areas, notably in the South East, has caused problems for some schools in complying with the law.
The Department for Education said there would be no automatic prosecution.
The Education Secretary Estelle Morris said the department would work with local education authorities which were breaching the legal limit to find ways they could meet it.
"Reducing class sizes has been a key priority for this government," she said.
"We have seen a remarkable improvement over the last few years.
"Infants are also benefitting from smaller average classes - the average size of an infant class is now 24.4 compared to 25.7 in September 1998."
Ms Morris said the government had spent �620m in trying to reach the target - enough to pay for up to 6,000 extra teachers and 2,000 new classrooms.
"It is absolutely right that the limit is flexible, allowing the entry of additional children in certain circumstances," she said
"The alternative would be to require schools to reorganise their classes each time an additional pupil was admitted which would be unwelcome and disruptive."
Opposition parties
The Liberal Democrats say the government's pledge on infant classes has acted as "a smokescreen" for the largest secondary school class sizes for 20 years.
The party's education spokesman, Phil Willis said: "Labour's pre-election claim that the class size pledge would be met rings hollow for the 8,000 children still in large classes.
"There has been an increase in mixed aged classes as headteachers have had been forced to apply the '30 or bust' rule to their classes.
"Whilst the general movement towards smaller infant classes is to be welcomed, the government must tackle the largest second class sizes for a twenty years."
The shadow education secretary Damian Green said: "These figures disguise a severe crisis in some infant classrooms.
"Only last week it was revealed that seven local authorities reported classes of over 30.
"With the problem of teacher shortages getting worse, they will find that the strain on infant classes is likely to increase in the year ahead."
Breaking the law
Where schools are breaking the law by having classes of more than 30 pupils, the department for education says if a parent complained it would up to the school to resolve the issue in the first instance.
If the school did nothing the parent could go to the local education authority and ultimately to the Education Secretary Estelle Morris.
But there have been more complaints from parents about the side effect of reducing classes - that they cannot get their children into an infant school because it is "full".
Ministers say they have tried to create as many extra places as possible in popular schools, and deliberately not expanded places in schools where parents do not want to send their children.

NewClients Promotional Marketing Acquires VATEX America
Distributor NewClients Promotional Marketing (UPIC: clients), headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, has acquired VATEX America, Inc. (UPIC: vatex), also in Richmond, in an all-cash transaction. NewClients will retain VATEX's current sales, account management and operations teams, including its embroidery operation. VATEX associates will move into NewClients' corporate headquarters immediately.
Teki Hall, NewClients president and CEO, says: "The acquisition of VATEX falls perfectly into our business plan of strengthening our regional and national exposure. VATEX brings an exceptional sales team with many years of experience, along with a strong diversified client list. The company has a long established history of representing some of the country's largest brands and we are excited to have them join the NewClients family."
Ben Kutner, VATEX President, added, "NewClients aligns perfectly with our core values. They have a long established reputation similar to VATEX, built on providing excellent service to their clients. There is also a common thread in the team atmosphere in which both companies operate. As opposed to many promotional product distributors and franchise companies that allow their sales people to compete amongst one another, NewClients and VATEX offer named accounts and industries. With my pending retirement, the timing was right to partner with a larger entity and NewClients was the perfect choice because of their management and operational expertise."
One Response to NewClients Promotional Marketing Acquires VATEX America
Where is the new VA. located business office? I am interested in acquiring a catalog for some upcoming business ventures.

STA Travel Signs Five Year Regional Network Contract with Azzurri
STA Travel has renewed its network management contract with Azzurri Communications Australia (Azzurri) for the Asia Pacific region.
Part of a global contract renewal, the deal includes network monitoring, hardware support, firewall and WAN management and vital network connectivity to access the centralised STA Travel Citrix applications hosted in UK.
'Our business relies on Citrix applications hosted over 10,000 miles away,' said Blair Smith, Information Systems Manager at STA Travel. 'We can't afford for those applications to be impacted by under-performing data links and networks. Azzurri ensures our network connections suit our business critical applications with best path routing and minimal latency.'
Azzurri has provided network management for STA Travel in Australia since 2007 when the centralised applications were first rolled out and now connect over 100 Australasian stores to the virtualised Citrix servers in the UK data centre. The contract includes the management, monitoring and support of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) based networks and dynamic multipoint virtual private network (DMVPN) access for remote stores like Singapore and New Zealand.
'With hosted or web-based applications our network is as important as the app itself,' commented Smith. 'Our business is impacted if anything happens to the network so it is essential that our networks are first-class with efficient and responsive support; but without costing an arm and a leg.
'Azzurri has proven it can deliver everything we need for our business - they make everything work seamlessly,'
The STA Travel's centralised technology strategy allows travellers to walk into any store, anywhere in the world and be able to access and change their travel itineraries. Using the global Azzurri network STA staff access huge amounts of rapidly changing information on flight schedules, prices and seat availability from dozens of carriers, as well as information on domestic travel, accommodation, weather conditions, visa information, travel and insurance.
STA Travel started on campus as a travel service to meet the travel needs of adventurous students in the 1970s and by the 1980s had extended its services beyond the student to cater for all young travellers who subscribe to the STA Travel values. STA Travel stores are now not only found on campus but extend to high street and shopping centre locations.
Australian-owned Azzurri provides managed networks for clients such as STA Travel, Rubicor group, Reed Employment Services, Law in Order, and BBC Worldwide.
About Azzurri Communications Australia (Azzurri)
Australian-owned Azzurri was established in 2006 to provide a responsive, technically adept alternative to traditional telco providers.

Review Roundup: Lindsay Lohan Stars in Lifetime's LIZ & DICK
Tom Gliatto, People.com: Lohan, 26, suggests this Taylor only in a few carefully lit close-ups: She's gorgeous, full-faced, worn. As the still-later Taylor, the perfume merchandiser with the spiked plumes of hair, she looks more like Joan Collins stapled in half. She captures none of Taylor's generously displayed voluptuousness, none of the sloppy good humor that endeared her to the public – not even that glass-scratching voice.
Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly: Liz & Dick was a peculiar, drab, damp little TV-movie indeed, wasn't it? The opening seconds flashed a "based on a true story" message across the screen. But the "story" – that is, the life that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton shared, chronicled here primarily during the 1960s, after meeting during the making of Cleopatra (1963) – was so much richer in reality than it was in this dinky, tin-eared production. Instead, the primary interest in watching Liz & Dick was to behold Lindsay Lohan trying, with varying, wobbly degrees of effort, to make her own career comeback.
Tim Molloy, Reuters: It's impossible to feel any emotional connection with the characters, because, as portrayed here, they're self-centered asses. It doesn't help that the dialogue is awful, and that many scenes are less than 30 seconds long, which doesn't allow us into the character's heads. The scenes are strung together by sub-sitcom transitional music that at least tips us off to the disposability of the entire movie.

Funny you should say that. I have an older DICE that I have used for years but it is not compatible with the iPhone 4S so I bought a new - later model - firmware upgradeable DICE unit. After having to return the first unit as defective (no left channel) I found that the replacement unit is very noisy - more apparent with the newer audio - so much so that the older DICE is back in service and I will live without the 4S integration. As an aside, I found the DICE remote control of the ipod (head unit display of track etc) to be useless (so slow) and I switched it off in the older DICE - this is not an option in the newer DICE it seems - another negative point. . . . sorry slight thread hijack here.

Tess Vigeland: Don't hate me because I'm done with my taxes. Yup, finished them last weekend. Getting a refund from Uncle Sam and probably an IOU from the state of California.
For those of you who haven't even gotten all your paperwork together yet, we've brought in Frank Degan, an enrolled tax agent who's been with us over several tax seasons.
Welcome back.
Frank Degan: Thanks Tess. It's good to talk to you again.
Vigeland: You know, 2008 was a pretty terrible year -- all kinds of surprises on all kinds of fronts. As we look at getting our taxes done, is there anything that we need to brace ourselves for in terms of this particular season?
Degan: Well, this year we hope for a fairly positive filing season. Because of the economic conditions, we may see some situations we haven't seen in the past: people maybe taking more money out of their 401(k)s or IRAs and that type of thing.
Vigeland: And that's something that you want to watch for because if you did that, you're going to get a pretty hefty hit, right?
Degan: Yeah, typically, and especially if you're under 59-and-a-half, you do have to pay a 10 percent penalty. Unfortunately, just the fact that you were out of work or you needed the money doesn't absolve you of that penalty, though I will tell your listeners in the Midwest there are some exceptions to that general rule so do a bit of research or if you have a tax professional, make sure you touch base with them on that.
Vigeland: Is that because of natural disasters that they went through?
Degan: Yes, that was because of the severe flooding in the Midwest and certain counties are affected, so it's something to pay some attention to.
Vigeland: Let's talk about the Recovery Rebate Credit. Now this has to do with last year's stimulus package. What should folks be looking out for?
Degan: What happened was when Congress passed that stimulus package, they authorized I guess what we would call a "prebate" of 2008 taxes. Obviously, they only had the 2007 tax returns to go by, so they gave these stimulus payments based on filing a 2008 return that was going to be done in the future, but using 2007 numbers. So if you're over a certain amount of money, you may not have qualified. Obviously, with the economic downturn, there may be some people who's gross income is certainly not as high as it was last year. So there is a special line on the tax return where you can get this credit as a result of not being able to take it in 2007.
Vigeland: You know, one question that we got into our inbox here at Marketplace this past week was someone asked whether they should actually hold off doing their taxes until there is a new stimulus package passed by the Congress. Now they're wondering if that could change their taxes for 2008. Any advice there?
Degan: I don't think so. I wouldn't recommend that to my clients. The only possible place I see it is maybe in this first-time home buyer credit. Let me explain that to you Tess, because a lot of folks have been asking about this. Taxpayers who have certain adjusted gross income limitations are eligible for a $7,500 tax credit for what they call a first-time home buyer, meaning you cannot have owned a home in the past three years. It's basically a loan that must be repaid over 15 years starting with the 2010 tax return. So the taxpayer will get $7,500 now, but based on current law, they will have to pay that back over a 15-year period in $500 increments.
Vigeland: You say that that's based on current law. Sounds like maybe there are some changes in the offing?
Degan: There are provisions in the Congress right now that the $7,500 would be forgiven, that the credit would really be a credit, you wouldn't have to pay it back.
Vigeland: Well, we're supposed to have more votes on the stimulus this week, so I guess we'll see what happens. Frank Degan is an enrolled agent, which means that he is licensed by the IRS itself to represent taxpayers. Thanks so much for your help.
Degan: Thank you Tess.

I went through a very similar exercise in developing an H-bridge not too long ago. In my case, I was translating TTL into +/- 12 VDC for an EV charging station circuit. The problem I had was that the input was a microcontroller output, which sometimes is Hi-Z. When it is, what happens is that the first stage transistors were biasing each other, and you short +12 to -12. I wound up using MOSFETs to solve the problem. Since there's (effectively) no gate current, a relatively high pull-up resistance is sufficient to prevent any ambiguity in the state when the input was undriven. It also made the whole thing a lot faster. With BJTs, there was a tension between the speed and the base bias resistors and the pull-up. With MOSFETs, there's no longer any gate bias resistor, just a pull-up to the common gate on the primary side (my circuit is two stages. The first stage turns the TTL into complimentary switching used to drive the secondary pair that switches the output voltage).
This is a personal first: Kudos to Microsoft for doing the right thing.
Well THIS little incident isn't going to do good things for their reputation, that's certain.
FTDI doesn't own the Linux driver. What they're doing prevents you from using an affected device with Linux.
Pretty sure that talking my mother through that procedure is a non-starter.
How confident are you that, having done this once, that FTDI won't make a mistake in the future and release a driver that accidentally bricks legitimate FTDI devices?
For all intents and purposes, reprogramming the PID to zero bricks the chip. It's not just unusable by their driver, it becomes unusable by ANY driver on any OS. It is recoverable by a guru, but suggesting that this isn't sabotage is disingenuous.
That other companies may or may not have done it doesn't make it more acceptable.
Oh, and [citation needed]
If they did what prolific did a while ago and BSOD/panic on detection, I'd be fine with that.
Deliberate hardware bricking is unacceptable in any context.
I can understand that. And I'm not calling on SparkFun to throw away stock on hand. But when products need to be revised or new products created, I hope SparkFun will remember the dangers involved in trusting FTDI not to pull a Stuxxnet.
Besides, what if the next time they try this little stunt they mess something up and it starts bricking legitimate FTDI product? Maybe a chip revision they missed in driver testing? Who knows what might happen. It's just not worth the risk to use their chips.
No public wish lists :(
