Even if you feel more at home in the weights room than the running track, a pair of secure, sweat-proof headphones can help keep your energy levels up as you're knocking out explosive power cleans.

We've looked at a whole range of headphones designed for running and exercise, whether that's pounding the pavement or hitting the gym, and also made sure they can deal with the sweat, rain and everything else you might throw at them.

Our Score:9
Unfortunately the Pioneer SE-E721 are hard to find in America and adds $25+ for shipping from Europe....I've been spending so much money on all types of running headphones that don't work, I'll brake the bank for these, they sound great.
The picture for the Monster cable headphones is for the intensity headphones not the victory ones?
this is supposed to be a review of the best headphones... surprised there arent the sony mp3 headphones, jvc's and so on... how the beats ones got on here are beyond me as everyone knows they are crap!
For me, there is only one king for sport headphones. FX-Sport VR1 wireless smart headphones. Genuinely great audio, comfortable, secure, sweatproof, rainproof, no wires, no phone on my arm [8gb mp3 built in], I can upload training sessions directly to the headphones, swim with them [with accessory - and it works!]. I just don't know why more people don't use them. www.fx-sport.net
Check this out! Have you considered - AZON
DEAL SHOPPER (Have a quick look on google cant remember the location)?
Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my coworker saved plenty
of money with it. They used that small gold box, that is located on the
site, to get a 65% discount on a laptop from Amazon. You may be able to
find an interesting item on Amazon at a extraordinary price using this
widget.Just checked and there are a few deals on this product
I am and Audio professional and an amateur runner. By far the best earphone I have ever used during exercise is the Sony W273, now soon to be replaced with the W610. Why this is the best? Because it most definitely will never ever fall out of your year, they are simply STUCK in proper position. Secondly, because audio quality is more than good enough for a work out. Thirdly, there are no wires. And they are waterproof. Very well done, Sony. My reference is the Sennheizer Momentum over.ear. See here: http://www.sony.co.uk/elect...
Any recommendations for the gym ( the music there coming out the speakers is beyond loud)
Here is the thing I often don't listen to music but watch a film instead and the sound level is always seems low, music I have the volume set about halfway but films even at the loudest settings are difficult to hear, thanks
So the Monsters are the most expensive, or is it the Jabras? I'm confused. Just saying. Contradictory information makes for a less trusted review.
For shorter distance runners or runners who don't sweat much these are good recommendations. However for serious distance runners or triathletes the reviews for lightweight vertical headband headphones (sony mdr-w08 or sonxtronic xdr-8000 or xdr-8001 ) which don't fill up with sweat and don't fall out seem to be as good ( or better )
I have been using the Yurbuds for the last 4 months and I don't recommend them. They are difficult to get seated properly and will come out if you sweat more than a little. Additionally, the black plastic caps the fit in the ear come off easily and have frequently gotten lost. I will not buy these again.
I have read over 15 different professional reviews on all the major brands and read reviews on Amazon. I find this TrustedReviews website FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS compared to everything I've read elsewhere and within their own reviews. I really do not trust their statements after going through bluetooth headphone reviews. They are missing other manufacturers!!!
I agree but I will take it a step further...Yurbuds are copmletly awful. Very, very uncomfortable and the sound is terrible. Nothging good about these. At all.
I always had troubles fitting headphones and usually they fell off. Truth is I dont' have that problem anymore with Yurbuds, but yes, sound quality can be improved. A lot.
What happened with soft cushioning ear buds? I have Sony MDR-G57, which I came over by luck on ebay. They are however not produced anymore. In this review: http://www.acemyrace.com/he... they are rated #2. But all the first three models have cushioning ear buds and have additional support behind the ear to avoid them falling down. But neither of these are produces anymore and impossible to find anywhere now! WHY!!!???
I saw this Yurbuds has been titled as "best running headphones for secure fit" and I would not agree with that. As far as I know, there are many great sport headphones out there. The Jaybird BlueBuds X, Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless and Axgio sprint would be much better in secure fit and overall.
Didn't find what you want in thsi review? Check out our offering in to the Sports headphones class. These just won Bronze Medal in the Men's Running Magazine's Awards Earphone Category!
While none of these reviews can be trusted(anywhere) here is mine. I have owned every type of headphone and destroyed them all. Skullcandy= crap. May as well buy a $10 pair off the bargain bin. They will break and you are only paying for marketing. Shure does sound great but when they break you cry. Beats are a waste of time because they whistle in your ear when the wind hits them. Nothing but marketing and not worth their price. Klipsch seems to be a good compromise but their cords are small and need to be reinforced. If you are going to exercise using head phone the mfgs are setting these up to break. Look at BT to avoid cords or just buy them cheap so you can toss them as they break.
I concur. My last run with my yurbuds, I spent almost the whole time putting them back in my ears after they fell out. Total junk and garbage. Wish I didn't buy them.
Absolutely correct. In Malaysia (tropical climate), I have gone thru numerous headsets, including many supposedly sweat-proof, including Philips Sport, Adidias/Sennheiser, etc. The best, BY FAR, have been Philips EXTERNAL headphones (the cheap ones with the foam cover over the speakers, and which are no longer available), because they keep the sweat out of the speaker. In the past I also bought as cheap as possible to prevent heartache when they failed.
However, I'm currently trying the jabra sport corded. The sound as well as fit is good, and the rubberized feel gives me some confidence, but we'll see how long the speakers last.
Just crazy not to include the FX-Sport VRX.
Why people want to train with a brick of a phone strapped to their arm, I will never know.
Once you train with the music actually on the headphones, the freedom from your phone is so noticeable. The VRX now has hundreds of workouts preloaded on there as well.
The review is for In ear phones!!!!
The review title says "Best Running Headphones"?
I think there is actually a good argument against "in ear" as the fit is more likely to change once you sweat and in order to get good bass, you have to have them half way down your ear canal, so more likely to noise isolate and not as safe for running.
I have used Yurbuds Inspire Limited Edition already. But, I think it's not perfect like it's name or brand.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c... FX-Sport VRX has the foam covers. Your correct, they do work well to prevent sweat entering. The VRX is ACE.

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
|A friendly, comfortable pub, far more pleasant inside than the rather austere exterior suggests. I paid my first ever visit on a weekday lunchtime and relaxed in a leather armchair with a pretty decent pint of Black Sheep.
tbennett54 - 14 Apr 2010 21:48
|Former hairy old armpit of a pub now shaved and deodourised for the better! Had Youngs and Courage beers on when I went which were in good enough nick but much too cold. Was less than impressed with the Ł2.70 a pint pricing.
founddrunkinyourgarden - 20 May 2009 00:57
|Definitely changed for the better. (a few years ago was a real dive)
Nicely decorated. Selection of beers including real ale.
Pleasant staff.
Often a singer at weekend.
One of the better Neston pubs.
wirraldrinker - 29 Jan 2009 19:33
|The Brown Horse in Neston has changed radically under it's current management.Terri (the licensee) and her friendly staff serve an extensive variety of beers (including real cask ale which is regularly rotated) along with wines and spirits galore! Food is available (either meals or snacks) for most of the day.
Most saturdays and some fridays the Brown Horse features live music.
A great, friendly pub. Well worth a try!

A color commentator serves to enliven television and radio broadcasts with analysis of sporting events. Color commentators work with play-by-play broadcasters, who provide a running summary of the action. Together, they form a broadcast team designed to give viewers or listeners a deeper understanding of the sport being contested and to make the experience more fun. Covering events from middle school track meets to international competitions, color commentators can earn an extremely wide range of salaries.
The chief role of color commentators is to provide insight about the contest. They deliver this in different formats. Often, it means using their knowledge of a sport to offer opinions on the action on the field, such as questioning or applauding a decision a coach has made. Color commentators frequently use statistics, anecdotal evidence, experience and information learned through interviews with players, coaches and front office personnel to attempt to give their audience a unique view on the contest. This analysis involves planning, research and an ability to think quickly during high-energy contests.
A color commentator's insight often is delivered in the form of a conversation with the play-by-play announcer, so camaraderie and chemistry between the pair is critical for fans to engage with the broadcast. Color commentators often are better known for their on-air personality than for their cogent breakdowns of the sport. Therefore, color commentators with a sense of humor and pleasing on-air style are prized by broadcasters. They must present their opinions in an accessible, lively fashion. Some color commentators attract attention for famous catchphrases that they use routinely when commenting on the action.
Color commentators often are former athletes or coaches who can bring an experienced understanding of the sport to their analysis. This type of color commentator also offers a familiar face for fans, who may already have formed a connection with the individual. An ex-player in the role can make particular sense for a local broadcast, allowing an old pro already embraced by fans to speak about his or her old team. In more rare cases, a color commentator is a journalist who has developed an expertise about the sport being played and can offer a perspective based on that knowledge.
Color commentators work for a variety of television, radio and even Internet programming outfits. They supply coverage for both professional sports and amateur sports. In both categories, color commentators exist to spice up coverage of sports contests ranging from the most obscure, such as a local high school contest, to the most prominent, such as the Olympics or the Super Bowl. While play-by-play announcers frequently work on different sports, color commentators typically stick to the one sport where they have particular expertise.

Vermont's Progressive Party Likely To Support Democrat For Governor
06/21/10 5:50PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
(Host) The head of Vermont's Progressive Party says it's likely that his party will support the Democratic nominee for Governor this year. But that's only if the winner of the Democratic Primary supports several key Progressive priorities.
VPR's Bob Kinzel reports.
(Kinzel) If you visit the Progressives' website, you'll see that they're conducting a survey. Here's the question: should Martha Abbott stay on the ballot as the Party's gubernatorial candidate regardless of who wins the 5 way Democratic primary.
Morgan Daybell is the executive director of the Vermont Progressive Party.
(Daybell) "We've had these discussions at the state committee level, but not everybody can take a Saturday off and get to the state committee. So we thought we'd put it up on the website and give more people an opportunity to weigh in."
(Kinzel) About 30 percent of the people responding to the survey say 'yes', Abbott should stay on the ticket no matter what.
But Daybell says the reality of the situation is quite different. He says that Abbott will almost certainly step down as a candidate, no matter who wins the Democratic primary, as long as the winning candidate is committed to closing down Vermont Yankee in 2012 and supports a single payer health care system.
(Daybell) "So I don't think the poll results are going to change her mind. I think the only thing that might change her mind is if one of the Democratic candidates goes on to win and goes on to win with a platform that's really remarkably in contrast to the issues we've been talking about over the last two years. But I don't see that happening."
(Kinzel) Daybell says there's no question that some of the Democratic candidates enjoy more support among Progressives than others. But he says, in the end, there's a practical bottom line to consider.
(Daybell) "Looking at the landscape now, the most important thing is to unite and make sure that we give someone the best opportunity to beat Brian Dubie."
(Kinzel) The person who wins the Progressive gubernatorial nomination in the August 24th primary will have several days to decide if they want to stay in the race or endorse the winner of the Democratic race.

Eng Hp 1978 350 vete engine
How much HP would I be getting from my 1978 vete 350 chev eng.the bottom end is stock but it has 202 heads straight plug, headers ,650 holly carb ?
What manifold do you have,what 202s do you have,is the cam still original?
I had that same setup in my 78 Impala station wagon man... It had 178hp.
Rat Rods Rule!
i'd have to agree, my 75 in its stock form was a real dog out of the hole, it was 165 h.p.
a 460 lift cam, headers, 2 1/2" exhaust,weiand excellerator intake , holley 680 d.p. msd ignition. it is only 1.95 / 1.6 valves though. the best guess i got for those mods was 325 h.p. max.mike
The highest stock specs were 185 hp for 1978. Emissions killed the HP output on the SBC in the 70's. My 1974 350 Vet only has 8.5:1 CR and that all by it's self limits the amount of HP it can make. Closed chamber heads will boost compression and everything else with help but your still limited.

Dear MathGroup
Somewhere, I have read an article or chapter on a related problem, but I
cannot find the source? Can you help please?
Here is a problem statement:
There is a rectangular plot of land, several acres in size, which is
contaminated by a single hazardous waste. We have some chemical
measurements of the concentation of the waste in the soils at N randomly
spaced points -- these points are NOT on a grid.
From other information about the deposition of the waste, we know that the
concentration( x, y )
is well behaved and smoothly varying.....
So, I want to use a 2D InterpolationFunction in Mma to model the
concentration in the soils, but first I have to estimate the concentrations
at each of the intersections on a square grid (or a rectangular grid). From
that point, the InterpolationFunction is easy.....
Any suggestions? Thank you for your help

N-Y Historical Society Announces May Exhibitions
The N-Y Historical Society has announced the following upcoming events:
May 4, 2012 – September 23, 2012
The New-York Historical Society will present Stories in Sterling: Four Centuries of Silver in New York, an exhibition highlighting the histories of 150 notable examples of silver from its collection. Made across the span of four centuries, the objects in the exhibition tell a diversity of stories: many speak to individual accomplishment and family pride, while a few have unsettling ties or backgrounds. The silver, ranging from simple spoons to extravagant trophies, culled from a trove of over 3,000 objects, includes powerful eyewitness artifacts linked to significant moments in the history of New York and the United States.
May 15, 2012 – September 2, 2012
"Get Vaccinated!"—part of a slogan from an incredibly successful 1947 campaign requesting voluntary vaccination (when five million New Yorkers were vaccinated in two weeks)—will trace the history of smallpox and efforts to manage it in the crowded environs of the nation's largest city. The exhibition will begin with the use of inoculation (the introduction of matter from a pustule on the body of smallpox sufferer), in the eighteenth century, and George Washington's dramatic decision to inoculate his troops during the Revolutionary War, amid rumors that the British were intentionally infecting rebel populations. Themes that will be emphasized in Get Vaccinated! include the history of vaccination itself, the painful conflict between the need to manage disease in an urban environment and the rights of individuals to resist government interference in their private lives, the growing effectiveness of public relations campaigns in promoting public health initiatives, bioterrorism and the political and economic impact of all epidemics in the city, including cholera, typhus, yellow fever and AIDS.
May 25, 2012 – September 2, 2012
To consider the fascinating yet largely anonymous legacy of beer brewing in New York City, the New-York Historical Society will examine the city's long relationship to this age-old drink in Beer Here: Brewing New York's History, on display from May 25, 2012 to September 2, 2012. This exhibit will survey the social, economic, political, and technological history of the production and consumption of beer, ale, and porter in the city from the seventeenth century to the present. Exhibit sections will explore such topics as: the nutritional properties of colonial beer and early New York brewers in the age of revolution; infrastructure innovations and the importance of access to clean water; large-scale brewing in nineteenth-century New York and the influence of immigration; the influence of temperance and impact of prohibition; bottling, canning, refrigeration and other technological advances; and the state of the city's breweries in the age of mass production. Featured artifacts and documents will include: a 1779 account book from a New York City brewer who sold beer and ale to both the British and patriot sides; sections of early nineteenth-century wooden pipes from one of the city's first water systems; a bronze medal that commemorates an 1855 New York State temperance law; beer trays from a variety of late nineteenth-century brewers; sign from the campaign to repeal prohibition; and a selection of advertisements from Piels, Rheingold and Schaefer, beloved hometown brewers.

AUDUBON: National TreasureS—SELECTED GULLS FOR THE BIRDS OF AMERICA (1827-38)
Until July 1, 2012
Looking at these five watercolors you are enjoying an experience similar to that of John James Audubon's (1785–1851) original subscribers to The Birds of America (1827-38). The watercolors are rotated on a quarterly basis to limit the potential damage caused by their exposure, ensuring that these National Treasures are available to future generations. Gulls, more informally called seagulls, are birds in the family Laridae. Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores, which dive to the water's surface for live food, like small crabs or fish, or scavenge opportunistically. They are, therefore, beneficial to the environment but also are beach beggars and thieves! Audubon executed nine watercolors of various species of gulls for plates in The Birds as well as three alternate watercolor studies, all in the collection of the New-York Historical Society.
Until September 9, 2012. Will be temporarily closed on May 1, 2, 3
Featuring fifty-five works from New-York Historical's great collection, Making American Taste casts new light on both the history of American art and the formation of American cultural ideals during a crucial period from roughly the 1830s to the late 1860s. The exhibition includes the long-awaited debut after conservation of Louis Lang's famed monumental history painting of 1862: Return of the 69th (Irish) Regiment from the Seat of War. The painting is a centerpiece of our commemoration of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War.
Until April 29, 2012
This installation of large-scale images by the celebrated photographer Platon, gives the historic struggle of the 1950s and 1960s a stirring contemporary presence. Julian Bond—statesman, professor, writer and a leader in the Civil Rights movement—has written a personal introduction to the exhibition. Among the subjects of the photographs are the Little Rock Nine, whose attempt to enter Little Rock Central High School in 1957 became a national cause célèbre; Joseph A. McNeil and Franklin E. McCain, participants in the 1960 Greensboro lunch-counter sit-in; Southern Christian Leadership Conference members Joseph Lowery, Fred Shuttlesworth, C.T. Vivian and Andrew Young; Student Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee leaders James Lawson, Robert Moses and Diane Nash; Chris and Maxine McNair, parents of Denise McNair, murdered in the bombing of Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church; Black Panthers Kathleen Cleaver, Emory Douglas and Bobby Rush; Muhammad Ali; Harry Belafonte; Congressman John Lewis; and Jesse Jackson, Sr.

TimeSplitters is a first-person shooter video game developed by Free Radical Design and published by Eidos Interactive. It is the first game in the TimeSplitters series. It was released on 23 October 2000 in North America and 24 November 2000 in Europe as a PlayStation 2 launch title. The game revolves around the concept of travelling through time in a story mode spanning 100 years. The game features a story mode, arcade mode, unlockable challenge mode, and map maker.
It was met with positive reception and was followed by a second game, TimeSplitters 2. A follow-up, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, released in 2005. In June 2007, a fourth game was announced to be in development, titled TimeSplitters 4 but was indefinitely postponed.
Gameplay and premise[edit]
As a first-person shooter game, TimeSplitters bears several gameplay and presentational similarities to GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, including a similar aiming system and unlockable options through quick level completions.[1] The game's story mode can be played alone or co-operatively with one additional player. Every level in story mode can be played on three difficulty settings; several aspects, such as the enemies aggressiveness and the addition of new areas, can vary in function of the chosen difficulty.[2] Taking place at nine fictional locations between 1935 and 2035, the story follows 18 characters' individual attempts at defeating their own foes and the "TimeSplitters" with whom they have sided. In each level, the player can choose from one of two characters specific to each mission, and must kill enemies as they move through the level to retrieve an object and then carry that object to the exit portal. After a player picks up the object, TimeSplitters, evil mutant creatures, spawn endlessly throughout the level and attack the player.[3]
TimeSplitters features a multiplayer mode, known as "Arcade", where up to four players and ten computer-controlled bots can compete individually, or in up to four different teams in certain modes. There are six multiplayer modes and aspects of each mode — such as the weapons and levels available, the winning condition, and managing characters — can be customized to match player preference.[4] Completing the story mode on the easiest difficulty unlocks "Challenge Mode", which provide certain goals on a pre-set map within the time limit.[3][5]
The game contains a level editor that allows the player to create their own level from a selection of various pre-made tiles. Light settings of the tiles can be edited individually and items can be added to the map. The map can be given any one of five themes; these themes change the interior shape of the tiles and their appearance. The player can also play and test their levels in any certain mutliplayer modes, as well as saving them to their memory card.[6][7]
Development and release[edit]
In February 1999, several members of the GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark development team — including David Doak, Steve Ellis, Karl Hilton and Graeme Norgate — left Rare to form their own company based in Nottingham, England called Free Radical Design.[1][8] TimeSplitters was the first project for Free Radical Design team,[1] and the development was carried out by eighteen people.[8] Graeme Norgate composed the music for TimeSplitters.[9]
David Doak, the designer of TimeSplitters, said that the team focused on "action-based gameplay, but there are many other elements" and stated that the game would be "using both analog controls on the DualShock 2 and all of the controls will be fully customizable."[1] The team additionally included a "sign-on" system, which saves individual player profile and preferences stored on the memory card.[1] Because of the PlayStation 2's hardware limitations, Steve Ellis explained that "[g]etting a four-way split screen working at a good frame rate is a problem on any console, and the PS2 is no exception".[1] The team did not use anti-aliasing for TimeSplitters as it would reduce the frame rate drastically.[1] TimeSplitters uses a modified version of the GoldenEye 007 engine, which is written in C.[10]
TimeSplitters was released in North America on 23 October 2000 and in Europe on 24 November 2000,[11] as a launch game for the PlayStation 2. As part of the Platinum Range, it was re-released on 8 March 2002.[12]
TimeSplitters received generally favourable reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[13] Edge praised the game's fluid and action-packed multiplayer mode, comparing it favourably to the Quake series, and credited the artificial intelligence of enemies for being relentless, especially during multiplayer matches.[15]

Connecticut Moves to Cut Pot Penalties
Starting next month, getting caught with a small amount of marijuana could cost Connecticut tokers as little as $150.
Over the weekend, the State Senate passed a bill decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana. The bill is backed by Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy and is likely to pass the House.
Connecticut follows a string of state that have decriminalized pot, including New York where a first offense of 25...

Nose filled w/fluid due to setbacks; how do I make the itching/irritation and tingling stop? Is it prednisone? Uncomfortable

- Last updated: 3 years ago
I'm sad and disappointed to be this swollen at 3 months when I seemed to be healing well. A week ago I rubbed the nose too hard & it balled up with fluid again, so I went on prednisone. Is it just pointless this late post-op? I am trying to prevent further scar tissue formation around my implant. I wish I had known from the start prednisone can cause anxiety/restlessness. More than that, it makes my skin and eyes itchy and the fluid I feel in my nose is really distracting/uncomfortable. What can I do, other than wait? Clean out the nostrils (gently)? Take an antihistamine?

This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Pami 2 years, 10 months ago.
My husband recently dined at a wonderful Korean restaurant outside Ft. Hood, TX, and fell in love with some zucchini kimchi. He said it was from the Seoul area, in terms of recipe. He would love for me to make some, but I'm having trouble finding a good recipe. Apparently it looked similar to cucumber kimchi, but with the zucchini sliced into rounds. Help?
Yes! I have so much zucchini to use from the garden! Making kimchi with them would be an awesomely delicious way to preserve them!

|Sophomore Zach Johnson posted his fourth shutout of the season on Sunday.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – In its second BIG EAST match at home, the West Virginia University men's soccer team finished a double-overtime contest with Rutgers knotted at 0-0 on Sunday afternoon at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
In a match that saw 1,413 people pass through the gates, the highest 2008 single-game home attendance total through five games, the Mountaineers made threat after threat on offense.
Sophomore Zach Johnson posted his fourth shutout of the season. The Lumberton, N.J., native, who now has 17 career shutouts, continues to climb in the record books as he is just one shutout short of tying Mark Bachteler, who has 18 career shutouts. Johnson also jumped past George DeAlmeida into eighth place in career goalkeeper minutes as he has spent a total of 2762:14 between the posts.
WVU, now 1-3-3 overall and 0-0-2 in league play, has held opponents scoreless for a time span of 314:05, which includes two double-overtime contests, and the one overtime match against Saint Francis (Pa.) that was ended early by junior Ryan Gillespie's goal at the 94:05 mark.
"We're better again," Head Coach Marlon LeBlanc said. "Every time somebody talks to me postgame, we're better than the game we were before and that's a positive. Hats off to Rutgers for defending well, and hats off to our kids for pushing the game."
With 18:46 left to go in the first half, WVU had a good-looking chance to score, but the opportunity was nixed after referees whistled an offsides call on the Mountaineers.
Just three minutes later, WVU freshman Alex Silva took a corner kick at the 15:26 mark. After a Scarlet Knight defender cleared it back to Silva, he crossed the ball to freshman Ruben Garrido who took a shot, but could not get it past Rutgers goalkeeper Amir Haghshenas.
"Our kids played hard," LeBlanc added, "and certainly we're disappointed not to get a win, but from a coaching perspective, you're happy to see that a team as young as ours is continuing to get better."
In the second half, WVU continued to press the Rutgers (3-2-2, 0-1-1) defense.
With 38:25 left to go in regulation, junior Mo Travis sent a cross near the 18-yard box from the left wing to sophomore Paul Paradise, who just missed putting a foot on the ball and sending a shot toward the net.
Moments later, Paradise was back in front of Rutgers' net on the right wing, and sent a blast just wide of the net.
At the 75:53 mark, Gillespie took the ball on WVU's side of the field and sprinted with it up the left wing, but after dropping it to Travis, was whistled for offsides.
The Scarlet Knights were led offensively by Nye Winslow, who took two shots, each on-goal.
WVU will have four days off before traveling to Chicago to face DePaul on Friday, Sept. 26. Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m. EST.

Hotel Monterey Group brings a new hotel to Sendai (the City of Trees) called Hotel Monte Hermana. Meaning "sister" in Spanish, the name could also mean Princess Mountain since Monterey derives its name from King's Mountain. The Spanish connection is particularly appropriate in Sendai, as the city's founder, the samurai Masamune Date, funded a rare expedition to Spain in the Middle Ages. This relationship between Spain and Sendai is reflected in the design of the hotel.
Located just a few minutes from Sendai Station via the pedestrian deck, the hotel is ideally situated for a diverse range of activities, from business to sightseeing and shopping.

This is the website of Sarah Ward: a crime fiction writer, reviewer, blogger and reader.
Crime fiction is in my blood. From Enid Blyton's The Famous Five to Carolyn Keene's Nancy Drew, I was reading the genre at an early age. In my teens it was Agatha Christie followed by Ruth Rendell and PD James. Later influences include Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton, Minette Walters. Then I discovered Scandinavian crime writers.
I'm the author of two crime novels In Bitter Chill and A Deadly Thaw which are set in the Derbyshire Peak District where I live. They are published in the UK by Faber and Faber and by Minotaur Books in the US.
In addition to this blog, I have reviewed at the Los Angeles Review of Books, crimesquad.com and Eurocrime. Articles and short stories have appeared in the Sunday Express magazine, Traveller and other publications. I'm one of the judges for The Petrona Award for the Best Scandinavian Crime Novel and I particularly love reading translated crime fiction.
I hope you enjoy looking at the reviews on this blog. It's great to have a passion – and books are mine. Please do feel free to leave comments on any reviews. I'd love to hear whether or not you agree with my opinions. I can also be contacted via the form below although I'm not able to take on any more books for review until I've cleared my backlog.

Nicander of Sparta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicander (reigned from c. 750 to c. 725 BC) was king of Sparta and a member of the Eurypontid dynasty.
Sparta was a dyarchy, having two kings at the same time, an Agiad and a Eurypontid. The Agiad king at the time of Nicander was Teleclus, who was allegedly assassinated by the neighbouring Messenians. Nicander was the son of the previous Eurypontid king, Charilaus and was succeeded as Eurypontid king by his own son, Theopompus of Sparta. [1]
As king, Nicander and his allies the Asinaeans carried out a raid on nearby Argolis, causing the Argives to attack Asine in return.

Nice corruptions of Windsor chair forms from Norman Kelley
Nice corruptions of Windsor chair forms from Norman Kelley
We've had to take an unplanned break from the blog lately, but just thought I'd post a quick little update on some iPhone covers that were recently made featuring my artwork! All are compatible with 4 & 4S models. :D
I spent a good bit of time this past Saturday checking out classic American cars at the Volo Auto Museum. Here are a few things that caught my eye- I got a lot of good stuff so I'll break this up into two posts, more next week.
Your Apple product will eventually be made of an amorphous metal- Vitreloy. This is a member of a strange family of alloys called amorphous metals, otherwise known as liquidmetals. Amorphous alloys are metals that do not have a crystalline structure (if you have ever seen a broken piece of cast iron I'm sure you probably noticed the dull, gray crystalline structure) but they instead have a liquid/glass like composition. These amorphous metal alloys are much stronger than their crystalline metal counterparts, so parts can be lighter.
Liquid Technologies, inc is a spinoff of a long Caltech/NASA/DOE research project into amorphous metals. While Vitreloy has been commercially available since 2003, it is relatively expensive and we have not yet seen widespread use of the material- but that may change soon- Liquid Technologies granted Apple an exclusive license to use their alloys for consumer electronics last year.
An amazing thing about liquidmetals is that once formed, they can be reheated and molded- while retaining their amorphous, non-crystalline structure. In my mind I compare this to glass- once sand, etc becomes glass, the glass can be remelted, cool, and it is still glass- it doesn't become sand again. So, liquidmetals can be diecast, injection molded, etc. Here is an article in Nature News, another in Plastics Today, and one more.
So, watch for the Ipad3 or 4 to have a Vitreloy frame. For you bicycle riders out there, amorphous metals will be playing their part soon.
If you get a wild inclination to be a penny stock investor, Liquid Technologies is trading at 16 cents a share, search "LQMT.OB."
Pulled from flicker, here's ten blow dryers:
This little speaker is made of carbon nanotubes, and it functions as a thermoacoustic speaker. Whats kind of amazing is, unlike a conventional speaker, it doesn't have to move to make sound. This speaker makes sound by way of abrupt temperature changes that pressurize the air, sending pressure waves (sound) without actually moving. So, look forward to one day walking through the trade show and picking up a promotional wind-breaker that will play a jingle. Wall paper as our surround sound. Maybe we can even have sound canceling blinds for the city sleeper. The nanotube & graphene era will be an interesting time. This particular speaker is made by the Finnish company, Canatu. Canatu, among others, is working towards commercializing this technology.
Some recent work from Josh Longo's unordinary mind:

I can't articulate it, but I kind of love these shoes. Bates makes these for the US Navy. I've had two or three of the US Army versions of these, which are black. You can usually find these in any decent surplus store, they are tough shoes. They are graceless, but there is an appeal in their brutal simplicity- that is, in black.
In white, they are surreal, and somehow I like it.

1954 AJS 497cc E95 'Porcupine' Racing Motorcycle Frame no. F3, Motor No E2 / 54
Britain's first success in the modern era's Grand Prix World Championships was achieved by a marque with an illustrious racing history – AJS. And the machine that carried Les Graham to his, and AJS', first and only World Championship in 1949 was, of course, the legendary Porcupine. To this day the Porcupine remains the only twin-cylinder motorcycle to have won the 500cc World Championship.
The 1954 AJS 500 c.c. E-95 Porcupine represents the final development of the most exotic, innovative, and graceful British Grand Prix racing motorcycle ever made. New for 1954, its final year of competition, the unique low handmade alloy "pannier" fuel tank wraps around the motor. The magnesium camboxes protrude out from under the front of the tank, capturing the cooling air.
Only four E-95's were built. They first appeared at the 1952 Isle of Man TT. Development continued, eventually under the genius of race shop head Jack Williams. For the 1954 Season he introduced the pannier fuel tank (which required a fuel pump) with the matching lowered chassis.
Unlike the rival works Nortons, the Porcupine shares little with the production machines sold to the public. The motor and gearbox are unit construction with gear primary drive. Power is transmitted through what may be the most beautiful exposed clutch ever seen. The long graceful cast alloy underslung oil tank is a full gallon in capacity. The twin overhead camshafts are driven by a train of gears that also drive the special aircraft magneto and the high capacity oil pump. Extensive use is made of lightweight ELECKTRON castings.
Conceived towards the end of WW2, the Porcupine was originally designed to be run either with or without forced induction. Supercharged multi-cylinder engines had begun to threaten the single's supremacy towards the end of the 1930s and indeed, AJS themselves went down this road with their fearsome water-cooled V4. Fast yet difficult to handle, the latter had demonstrated that horsepower bought at the expense of excess bulk and weight was not the answer, so the thoughts of designer Vic Webb turned to a twin. Laying the cylinders almost horizontally with their heads facing forwards ensured adequate cooling and a low centre of gravity while at the same time providing room, if required, for a blower above the gearbox. When the FIM banned supercharging at the end of 1946, AJS was ready with new cylinder heads designed for normal aspiration!
Typed E90 but dubbed 'Porcupine' by the motorcycling press because of its distinctive spiked 'head finning, AJS' new challenger debuted at the 1947 Isle of Man TT in the hands of Les Graham and Jock West, the pair finishing 9th and 14th respectively after encountering a variety of minor problems. By way of consolation, West's best lap was only three seconds down on the fastest and showed that the bike had promise. The Porcupine's first race victory was achieved later that year by Ted Frend at the Hutchinson 100. Development continued throughout 1948, with a number of Grand Prix podium finishes and 18 world speed records among the season's highlights.
The inaugural 500cc World Championship of 1949 consisted of six races, with victory going to Les Graham at the Swiss and Ulster Grands Prix. Bill Doran won the Belgian GP to assure AJS of the manufacturers' title, while Graham's two wins were enough to take the riders' championship from Gilera's Nello Pagani.
Many years later, AJS works rider Ted Frend – the first rider to win on the bike – recalled that carburetion had been the Porcupine's biggest problem. Over the years several different induction arrangements were tried. Eventually, the 1954 pannier fuel tank and fuel pump solved this problem. The E90 was also bedevilled by failure of the gear driven magneto shafts – the cause of Graham's retirement from the lead of the '49 Senior TT just when two minutes from the finish. The problem was solved when chain drive for the magneto was adopted on the revised E95 engine.
Introduced in 1952, the E95 engine had its cylinders tilted upwards at 45 degrees, an arrangement that permitted a shorter wheelbase. The new motor layout featured a more robust crankshaft, and improved cylinder head architecture. Its distinctive spike fins had gone, but the 'Porcupine name stuck. The E95 enjoyed a dream debut, new recruit Jack Brett and Bill Doran finishing 1st and 2nd respectively at the season-opening Swiss Grand Prix, with New Zealand star Rod Coleman in 5th place.
Another new addition to the AJS team for '52, Coleman had first been given an E90 to try at the '51 Ulster GP and followed that up with a strong showing at the Grand Prix Des Nations at Monza. 'In the race it was quite definitely faster than the Nortons and I had little problem getting past Geoff (Duke) and Ken (Kavanagh) with just three Gileras only a short distance ahead,' Rod recalls in his book, The Colemans. 'I did get with them and found again that the Porcupine was just as fast as the Gileras but was down a little on acceleration from the slower corners, but not by much. I was just beginning to think I had every chance of second place behind Milani when the motor stopped.' The cause? Yet another magneto shaft failure.
For 1954, the final year of competition, the E95 Porcupine (and works 'triple-knocker' 7R3 350 single) gained the new pannier-style fuel tanks which extended down on either side of the engine, thus lowering the centre of gravity and affording a measure of streamlining at the same time. An AC fuel pump was used to raise fuel to the carburetors, a delivery system that involved mechanics standing the bike on its rear wheel to prime the internal header tank for starting! Jack Williams took over the race team that year and the result of his development was a much smoother engine, which now produced a maximum of 54bhp at 7,800rpm. Bob McIntyre, Derek Farrant and Rod Coleman were the riders, the latter providing the Porcupine with its best international results of the season, placing 2nd in Ulster and winning the Swedish Grand Prix. Other riders to swing a leg over the Porcupine during its short career include Bill Lomas, Robin Sherry and Reg Armstrong.
Sadly, 1954 would prove to be the Porcupine's swansong year. With the death of AMC founder Charlie Collier, AJS withdrew from direct involvement in Grand Prix racing at the season's end, never to return. But the record books tell the story: between 1949 and 1954, Porcupines finished 24 races with five wins, seven 2nd places and one World Championship. In total, only four
complete E90 and four E95 machines were built. Only one E-90 survives. With the exception of the E95 acquired later by privateer Tom Arter, they were raced exclusively by the works team and never offered for public sale. Fortunately, all four E95s survive today. Two are in a Chartered Museum. One other is in private hands, owned by Team Obsolete.
The E95 Porcupine offered here was acquired by the late Roy Richards, founder of the UK's National Motorcycle Museum in the 1980s. On display at the Museum for decades, 'F3' was mechanically restored in the USA between 2000 and 2004 by New York-based Team Obsolete – luckily escaping the Museum's disastrous fire of 2003.
Quoted in Motorcycle Sport & Leisure magazine (August 2011 edition) Team Obsolete's Rob Ianucci enthused about the Porcupine: 'It's the Holy Grail of British motorcycles. It was conceived in the darkest days of the Second World War, and was created on limited budgets during the austerity of post-war Britain by dedicated men who were passionate about their craft. Yet they created a motorcycle which won the 500cc World Championship, and in my opinion was a truly beautiful mechanical object… It's a two-wheeled work of art.'
After the rebuild's completion by Team Obsolete, the Porcupine went back to the NMM, arriving in time for its reopening in December 2004. The machine was acquired by the current owner after the passing of Mr. Richards, who had planned to have it do a Lap of Honour at the Isle of Man TT. Ultra-rare and of immense historical significance, 'F3' represents a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the most legendary and exotic of all Grand Prix racing motorcycles.

Just when did Great Salt Lake become the Great Salt Lake? What's next the Utah Lake, the Bear Lake, the Sevier Lake, the Yellowstone Lake?
Considering how many times Great Salt Lake is mentioned in the local press, a considerable savings in ink and paper could be achieved by dropping the "the" and returning to the time-tested, shorter designation.

On record-breaking extremes
Fig. 3. The ratio of records for the U-shaped climate to that in a stationary climate, as it changes over time. The U-shaped climate has fewer records than a stationary climate in the middle, but more near the end.
So here is one interesting result: even though the linear trend is zero, the U-shaped climate change has greatly increased the number of records near the end of the period! Zero linear trend does not mean there is no climate change. About two thirds of the records in the final decade are due to this climate change, only one third would also have occurred in a stationary climate. (The numbers of course depend on the amplitude of the U as compared to the amplitude of the noise – in this example we use a sine curve with amplitude 1 and noise with standard deviation 1.)
A second thought-experiment
Next, pretend you are one of those alarmist politicized scientists who allegedly abound in climate science (surely one day I'll meet one). You think of a cunning trick: how about hyping up the number of records by ignoring the first, cooling half of the data? Only use the second half of the data in the analysis, this will get you a strong linear warming trend instead of zero trend!
Here is the result shown in green:
Fig. 4. The record ratio for the U-shaped climate (blue) as compared to that for a climate with an accelerating warming trend, i.e. just the second half of the U (green).
Oops. You didn't think this through properly. The record ratio – and thus the percentage of records due to the climatic change – near the end is almost the same as for the full U!
The explanation is quite simple. Given the symmetry of the U-curve, the expected number of records near the end has doubled. (The last point has to beat only half as many previous points in order to be a record, and in the full U each climatic temperature value occurs twice.) But for the same reason, the expected number of records in a stationary climate has also doubled. So the ratio has remained the same.
If you try to go to even steeper linear warming trends, by confining the analysis to ever shorter sections of data near the end, the record ratio just drops, because the effect of the shorter series (which makes records less 'special' – a 20-year heat record simply is not as unusual as a 100-year heat record) overwhelms the effect of the steeper warming trend. (That is why using the full data period rather than just 100 years gives a stronger conclusion about the Moscow heat record despite a lesser linear warming trend, as we found in our PNAS paper.)
So now we have seen examples of the same trend (zero) leading to very different record ratios; we have seen examples of very different trends (zero and non-zero) leading to the same record ratio, and we have even seen examples of the record ratio going down for steeper trends. That should make it clear that in a situation of non-linear climate change, the linear trend value is not very relevant for the statistics of records, and one needs to look at the full time evolution.

I received many comments on my four-part series on AC Power, and most of them were very positive. Several readers, however, thought they were too elementary. I
reminded them that the title of my column is "Pump Ed101" not 201 or 301, and its purpose is to introduce people to new and unfamiliar topics. Why do I use this approach?
Things have changed quite a bit since I attended high school in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Back then, serious science started in the fourth grade, and there was no opting out of physics and chemistry in high school. The physics education I received in high school was conceptual and did not delve into complex mathematical relationships. That made it interesting and understandable—even to a teenage boy with lots of other things on his mind. Had it not been, I doubt that I would have pursued it in college and grad school.
High school education changed substantially in the 1970s and 1980s, and I am not sure that our current system achieves what was achieved back then. Because of this, a lot of us did not learn how simple physics can allow us to simplify many of the complex topics that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. That is the purpose of "Pump Ed 101," so this introduction to AC motors will start with the basics. I will also provide several references if you would like to further your understanding of this interesting
and essential topic.
One of the more neglected subjects taught in science class is magnetism, and like many science topics, it is almost always presented in a boring manner. It is at the heart of both AC and DC motors and is a primary reason that AC power became the dominant power source in the world. The rudimentary definition of a magnet is an object that attracts iron. Although undoubtedly discovered in prehistoric times, it was not until 600 BC that the Greek philosopher Thales reported its properties. He studied a sample of loadstone (iron ore) from the town of Magnesia on the Aegean coast and because of its attractive properties, called it Magnesian rock.
Thales also discovered that amber (a fossilized resin known as elektron), when rubbed, also exhibited an attractive force. It was different, though, because its attractive forces were not limited to iron but would attract any number of objects including feathers and parchment. In this latter case, he had unknowingly discovered what we call electrostatics or electricity at rest.
An object that exhibits magnetism without the aid of electricity is called a permanent magnet. These magnets have two areas of maximum attraction, referred to as their north and south seeking poles. Although a number of rules apply, the most basic is that opposite poles attract and like poles repel one another.
A moving electric charge can also give rise to a magnetic field, and a magnetic field, regardless of how it was produced, exerts a force on a moving electric charge.
Before the 19th century, electricity and magnetism were thought to be independent forces. In 1819, however, Hans Christian Oersted performed an unplanned experiment that demonstrated that they are intimately related.
This experiment occurred during a lecture when he accidentally placed a wire that was connected to a battery over the face of a compass and noted that the needle moved to the right. Upon reversing the battery connections, the needle swung to the left. He had accidentally discovered the interaction between electric current and a magnet.
The French physicist Andre Ampere, for whom the unit of current intensity is named, went on to demonstrate that a magnetic force generated by an electric current is indistinguishable from that of a permanent magnet. His simple experiment consisted of two parallel wires that were connected to separate batteries (electromagnets). One wire was fixed while the other was free to slide toward or away from the fixed one.
Figure 1. Components and magnetic field relationships.
When current traveled in the same direction in both wires, the movable wire slid toward the stationary one. When current traveled in opposite directions, the movable wire slid away. His experiment demonstrated that an electric current could exhibit the same attractive and repulsive forces as a permanent magnet. It also showed that reversing the connections to the battery reversed the polarity of the magnetic field by causing current to flow in the opposite direction. The changing polarity of the electromagnet, when combined with permanent magnets, is the basis for the simple DC motor.
The DC Motor
It is difficult to credit any one person with the development of the DC electric motor. Obviously, it started with Oersted'sdiscovery of electromagnetism, but many others—including Sturgeon, Henry, Ampere, Faraday and Davenport—contributed to the development process. Unfortunately, none of these early designs had any practical value due to their low output power.
In 1873, and once again purely by accident, one appeared on the scene. In 1871, Belgian inventor Zénobe Gramme developed a high output DC generator that used 34 poles and produced a waveform that was nearly constant. During a demonstration in Vienna in 1873, his assistant accidentally connected a generator to one that was already running, and its shaft began to rotate. The same machine that produced high electrical power as a generator also produced high mechanical power as a motor.

Thomas, I think it's a great idea and I thank you for doing this!
i actually dig the design , great idea , hope it turns out successful
Who is your intended audience ? For example my primary audience for my music site are game producers and directors, people who work with video primarily. People who intend to profit from their productions and understand the business of production. With graphics and web templates there is variety of people to market to. Right now it seems like envato has a lot of designers. Which is a good thing, but perhaps you can market to groups that are under represented here.
These are good points inkaudio and since the site is about to target any industry due to the nature of the products offered throuhg all of the 5 marketplaces, i think we will be marketing the site on any platform possible. You can start from gaming, video, audio forums and groups on facebook,yahoo etc., and expand to blog commenting with anchor text on popular doFollow blogs related to this industries…anything is possible and every visitor count. We have experienced link building guys that can ensure the site ranks higher on search engines for most popular keywords related to marketplaces items…they have their own methods doing this.
First we are going to register the site at about 6000 search engines and submit the site also to 120+ bookmarking services. We will also register the site with popular RSS engines to ensure rss freaks catch on our site content with easy
@ DreamWarrior and Madness, thanks guys for your feedback
@ blabus, i know the images up on flickr are not very recognizable and you cant see much details, but just wait untill the site is up and you may change your opinion. The site design is not much graphics rich to messup with the content or rest of the site
I know we announced the launch to be on 10 september, but we got busy with some other stuff in between. We are almost there, the site is up and runing but there are still many things to fix and we are doing some small tests right now and still pulling contents to pages.
Originaly our plan was to have only 1 page (named "the store") where we will feature some stuff from the marketplaces, but we extended that now and created custom page templates for every single marketplace. This way we got the option to feature much more items and authors, as every marketplace now has its own page. When everything is ready and running, i gues we will be featuring about 400 items and 70-80 authors in a week or 10 days. If you want to check the progress, you can do it here and start to discover small parts of the site.
There will be some small issues with AudioJungle files and authors, but i will announce that later. For now you can wait with submissions…we will let you know the exact page links where we will be publishing informations on how the whole thing will work separated for each of the marketplaces.
There are some additional features we plan do add to the network like flickr group etc., but all this will be announced and explained in detail. We recommend you to bookmark the site and check back next week on Tuesday evening. I hope you enjoy what we have so faar
...some sneak peeks are:
audiojungle graphicriver another graphicriver theme forest flashden
An example of how your sumission will looks like can be viewed here ...you will be allowed to use your Ref. ID at your posts and this will gain you extra $. There will be more pages like this, the plan is to have about 2 pages per marketplace displaying items.
looks good. if you get just enough visitors this could be great for further promotion. thanks for your work
Hey this is a great idea! I love it =D
Looks good Thomas, well done
alright, we are back with some updates. We are almost so faar to go. We have got now about 60 articles writen each related to specific category of all the 5 marketplaces. These articles are heavily keywords rich and will boast the site search results on engines related to that keywords. The article publishing will start by the end of this month when all the site copy contents are finished and published on the site. We will allow also authors to register for their account, login and publish their items with their refferal ID on the site at the same time (end of this month)...for sure all this goes free and there is no charges for that, this site purpose is to get authors extra online exposure and boast their sales, increase customers base etc.
The site has been registered already at approx 3000 engines (mixed, search engines and blog + rss engines) and the number count. We have about other bunch of 3000 engines to register at, but all this will come within next month.
Out of this we are now fully setup with materials and tools to advertise the site online and drive huge number of traffic daily…even with the recent "maintenance mode" and testing some advertising methods, we received 100K+ hits from september 5th untill today (click the image for larger and detailed preview of AwStats).
We have received already 3K+ indexes (backlinks) on 34 pages see here for details ...all this ofcource is result of the hard work we perform on heavy backlink building right now (and this will continue at the same speed). For us is important first to get backedup with huge number of backlinks to get an better possition on rankings.
We operate other 12 websites/blogs related to the web and design niches and we plan also to get a huge number of traffic from these sites. Some of this blogs are already well known resources with massive readers base. This websites uses the cross-advertising method and rotate/redirect visitors to eachother. Once GraphicTuning site is ready to go, we will add it to that network as well.
Well…this is the short update for now…i will be back in a few days with more finished site (contents based) and updates.
Very cool.
Hello all, we have been busy the last month with many client projects we got assigned as freelance gigs to us and this is why we was not able to put our hands on the GraphicTuning project.
We have an small update for you available at http://www.graphictuning.com/featured/the-item-listing-pages where you can read an explanetion of how the "item listing pages" will work. Please stay tuned, we will have tomorrow another small update that wil lexplain how you can get your items up on there. We already have 3 authors tested the system and posted an item or 2, you can check them at the "blog" section on the site.
