Kumble, 37, was chosen to lead for three Test matches against Pakistan starting later this month at the conclusion of the current one-day series, Indian cricket board official Mohinder Pandove said.
"Kumble has been named only for the Pakistan series," Pandove told reporters in a brief statement.
Dhoni, 26, who took over as one-day and Twenty20 captain in September, was considered the frontrunner for the Test role after senior pro Sachin Tendulkar turned down an offer from the selectors.
But the five-man selection committee, headed by former captain Dilip Vengsarkar, felt Dhoni's 20 Tests in two years left the dashing wicketkeeper-batsman too raw to assume the mantle.
Kumble, a veteran of 118 Tests, succeeds his Karnataka team mate Rahul Dravid, who unexpectedly resigned as captain after the England tour in September for unspecified reasons.
The leg-spinner is India's most successful bowler and his 566 Test wickets are bettered only by Australia's Shane Warne (708) and Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan (702).
The new Test captain was announced soon after Dhoni's home team crashed to a four-wicket defeat against Pakistan in the second one-day international here, which levelled the five-match series 1-1.
Kumble has captained India in a lone one-day international against England at Chennai in 2002, which his team won by four wickets.
The popular cricketer, who retired from one-day cricket after the World Cup in March, said on Wednesday he would accept the captaincy if it was offered to him.
"I would certainly do the job if asked to," Kumble told the Cricinfo website. "I don't know what the big deal is, why so much is being made of this. I have said this before also.
"I don't know whether I'm in the race, but if it's offered it would be a great honour. I have relished it whenever I had the opportunity. But that's not something for me to decide."
Former India coach Greg Chappell and ex-captain Ravi Shastri were this week quoted as saying that Dhoni was still too inexperienced to captain in Test matches.
Tendulkar, when turning down the captaincy on Tuesday, told the Indian board president Sharad Pawar that a younger man should be appointed.
"Tendulkar was of the view that presently the Indian team was doing extremely well and the board must think of appointing a younger person as the captain looking at the future of the team," a statement from the cricket board said.
The first Test against Pakistan opens on November 22 at the Ferozeshah Kotla in New Delhi, the same venue where Kumble took all 10 wickets in an innings against the same opposition in 1999.
The second Test will be played in Kolkata from November 30-December 4, while the third will be held in Chennai from December 8-12.
India are due to tour Australia in mid-December, playing four Tests, before hosting South Africa for three more Tests in March.
The ODI squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Irfan Pathan, S Sreesanth and Praveen Kumar.

Tocotrienols and Cancer Cells
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Western Medicine is desperately searching for compounds that can help trigger the death signal in cancer cells – and it appears they are now actively researching the natural toolbox as the tocotrienol form of vitamin E may be a superstar.
Tocotrienols are a superior form of vitamin E due to the biological activity of their side chain molecule which is an isoprenoid called farnesol. Isoprenoids occur widely in fresh fruit, vegetables, and grains and are believed to be the reason diets rich in such foods are associated with lower cancer rates. Tocotrienols are a high source of isoprenoids – especially the unique one they possess – as farnesol is a direct communication molecule within cells. We are just beginning to understand the role of farnesol in human health and disease.
I have previously summarized the dramatic findings on the tocotrienol form of vitamin E for cardiovascular and immune support. While cancer researchers have been looking into combining tocotrienols with other cancer therapies for some time – this research is now heating up. Central to the issue is how to get cancer cells to die without killing the person. Most cancer drugs work on a principle of toxicity, and the hope is that the drugs will kill cancer before weakening the individual too much. This approach can be successful and has obvious limitations.
Tocotrienols possess a rather astounding ability. They are the great protectors of healthy cells and never bother them. On the other hand they can tell when a cell has gone wrong, including a cancer cell, and can facilitate its death. Last year this dramatic finding led US researchers to conclude that combining tocotrienols with cancer drugs1 for patients with drug-resistant forms of cancer offers tremendous hope for many individuals with different types of cancer.
A new study further backs up this new area of tocotrienol research2, a true bright spot of hope for many. While I like tocotrienols as a top cardiovascular support nutrient, it is nice to know they also help keep your cells in tip top working condition. Tocotrienols are a superior antioxidant and work synergistically with other antioxidants to protect your health.

Weekly Standard: NYT Hates Criticism and Won't Publish Challenging Letters
According to an expose in the August 18 Weekly Standard, the New York Times hates critical comments and won't print letters to the editors that challenge NYT facts. Writer Kenneth L. Woodward detailed a behind-the-scenes battle to get the paper to correct inaccurate information by Maureen Dowd.
After dealing with an editor, Woodward recounted, "In sum, the Times was telling me that they will accept letters that offer a different opinion, but those that challenge assertions of fact are relegated to the editors of the Corrections column, where minutiae like misspelled names and erroneous dates are corrected for the record."
Woodward, an author and expert on how the Catholic Church determines sainthood, wrote a letter correcting a Maureen Dowd column:
On April 24, I wrote a 190-word letter to theTimes contesting a very angry column entitled "A Saint He Ain't" written by Maureen Dowd on the dual canonizations of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Dowd's main beef was that Pope John Paul II did not deserve canonization because, she argued, the clerical sex abuse scandal and its cover-up occurred during his reign, for which she held him accountable. She also criticized the now-retired Pope Benedict XVI, whom she dissed as John Paul's "Rasputin," for rushing to canonize his "mentor." In other words, Dowd was saying that here was a case of one conservative pope canonizing—and therefore justifying the papacy of—another.
In my letter to the Times, I did not question Dowd's opinion of Benedict or John Paul II, or challenge her clichéd political categories for distinguishing one pope from another. What I did do was contest her basic assumption that the canonization of a pope means approval of everything he had done as a pope. On that point, I wrote, "Nothing could be further from the truth," and then went on to give examples from history that disprove her point.
Since the Times loves to publish letters from people with a claim to expertise, I identified myself as the author of the book Making Saints: How the Catholic Church Determines Who Is a Saint, Who Isn't and Why. And because the Times trusts the judgment of its own reviewers, I noted that my book had been reviewed (at length on publication in 1990—and very enthusiastically, though I did not mention this) in the Sunday Times Book Review.
Two hours later I received an email from Mary Drohan of the Letters Department telling me that they wanted to publish the letter if I approved of their editing. Gone from the original letter was my dig at Dowd for once again reminding readers of her Catholic childhood, as if this credentialed her as a judge of which popes are worthy of canonization. Okay, I already knew that the Times does not publish letters that reply in kind to their sharper-elbowed columnists. But I did object to the editors' replacing my "Nothing could be further from the truth" with "I disagree."
This bureaucratic process continued:
Ms. Drohan was very gracious and straightforward in explaining why: "Here's the problem," she wrote. "Saying 'this is a common misunderstanding' sounds like a correction of a factual error (which in this case it is). We don't use letters to make factual corrections. That's for the corrections people. There is no such problem with 'I disagree.'?"
For the same reason, she went on, another line I offered was unacceptable: "Likewise, 'Ms. Dowd claims that Pope Benedict chose to make his predecessor a saint, but popes do not choose saints: they merely approve candidates found worthy after due canonical process.' So unless we find a way around this, I don't think that we'll be able to use this letter."
We couldn't and they didn't, which was fine with me.
Woodward recounted just how different the Times's response was to other media outlets:
This was alien to my experience at Newsweek, where I wrote some 750 stories, including nearly 100 cover stories, over my 38 years at the magazine. Like the Washington Post, theWall Street Journal, and every other publication I have written for except the New York Times, Newsweek acknowledged errors in its Letters column and, in the days when the magazine was flush with staff, very often wrote letters back to those who contested something we had published to explain why we stood by our story.
The Weekly Standard writer concluded with the impact of the Times's no complaints" policy: "...It permits Ms. Dowd and her colleagues an illusion of authorial infallibility that even a pope might envy."
This is certainly true of Times writers. Since the paper doesn't want to be bothered with criticism, you can find them, courtesy of the MRC, here.

Islam (; ' ) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a text considered by its adherents to be the word of God ( ), and by the teachings and normative example (called the Sunnah and composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, considered by them to be the last prophet of God.
Islam n 1: the religion of Muslims collectively which governs their civilization and way of life; the predominant religion of northern Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and Indonesia [syn: {Islamism}, {Muslimism}, {Muhammadanism}, {Mohammedanism}, {Mohammadanism}] 2: the monotheistic religion of Muslims founded in Arabia in the 7th century and based on the teachings of Muhammad as laid down in the Koran; "the term Muhammadanism is offensive to Muslims who believe that Allah, not Muhammad, founded their religion" [syn: {Islamism}, {Mohammedanism}, {Muhammadanism}, {Muslimism}]

A Muslim, also spelled Moslem, is an adherent of Islam, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an—which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God as revealed to prophet Muhammad—and, with lesser authority than the Qur'an, the teachings and practices of Muhammad as recorded in traditional accounts, called hadith.
Muslim adj : of or relating to or supporting Islamism; "Islamic art" [syn: {Moslem}, {Islamic}] n : a believer or follower of Islam [syn: {Moslem}, {Mohammedan}, {Muhammedan}, {Muhammadan}, {Islamist}]

Hello everyone,
I am posting this to help out a friend of my sister. I am looking for information on possible options on what to do next. Here is the story:
My sister has a friend who owns a german shepherd. Recently, this shepherd bit someone. It seems that this person required stitches and the authorities were notified. From what I understand, the authorities are requiring the shepherd to be sent to the shelter to be euthanized. Is there anyway to save this dog? This is all the details I currently know. Thank you in advanced for the help.
Where do you live? There's different rules in different states. How bad was the bite?

Golden memories
The window is always important, if not the most important thing. It's the view that makes a poor room bearable and a good one, perfect. I like to see green trees or ones with boughs covered in snow; I adore the sight of an old town's streets and alleys and the view across its roofs. But my favorite is the classic: a window onto the ocean or onto a lake or river. The Vltava River, for example. I'll never forget what happened there although it was so long ago. I woke up on a hotel ship, not a cruise liner, but one that had dropped anchor for the last time and was securely lashed to the dock. My cabin had no window as such, but it did have a porthole, right next to the head end of the bed, or would "berth" be more apt? There was nothing particularly roomy about the place. It was also not very expensive: There are far grander hotel ships in Prague.
Maybe I wanted to save money, maybe it was coincidence, and maybe a cab driver just happened to drop me off there, but the hotel's two stars multiplied into thousands when I woke up and opened my eyes. My porthole was barely above the surface of the water, and the sun was just rising, its rays glittering on the waves and dazzling me a little, so at first I couldn't believe or grasp what
I was seeing outside. A large, white swan glided by, close enough to touch, then another and another, followed by some little ones. The whole family swam right past my nose in what looked like molten gold. Is this paradise, I asked myself? Then I remembered: I was in the heart of Prague, and that is sometimes the same thing. For that divine moment, my window was just perfect.

SURFACE: Field Turf
PREDICTION: Falcons 34-16
KEYS TO THE GAME: Panthers rookie QB Jimmy Clausen hasn't thrown for more than 195 yards in nine starts, and is coming off a 72-yard outing at Pittsburgh. Atlanta doesn't pose quite the same challenge as the Steelers' 3-4, but the Falcons will play downhill in attacking RB Jonathan Stewart and daring Clausen to beat man coverage.
Unfortunately for Carolina, the Falcons need to win to secure the division title and home-field advantage and will come out looking to put the game away early. Atlanta jumped to a 17-0 lead and then swarmed defensively in a 31-10 Week 14 win at Carolina.
FAST FACTS: The Panthers are the only winless team on the road this season. ... Falcons QB Matt Ryan has 32 victories, one shy of Dan Marino's NFL record for the most by a quarterback through his first three seasons.
Jimmy Clausen isn't concerned about the possibility of the Carolina Panthers drafting a quarterback with the No. 1 pick in next April's NFL draft.
The idle Panthers secured the top pick in 2011 over the weekend by virtue of wins by Denver and Cincinnati and speculation is they'll take Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck if he decides to declare himself eligible for the NFL draft. If Luck, a redshirt sophomore, stays in college, the Panthers still could go for a quarterback like Auburn's Cam Newton, Washington's Jake Locker, Arkansas' Ryan Mallett or Missouri's Blaine Gabbert. Luck must declare himself draft eligible by Jan. 15.
QB Jimmy Clausen
Jared Wickerham/Getty
Clausen is 1-8 as the team's starting quarterback with a quarterback rating of 56.8, the worst mark in the NFL.
He's thrown only two touchdown passes with eight interceptions and has been sacked 30 times. Of his eight picks, two have been returned for touchdowns.
"That's a tough question because being a rookie and trying to do as much learning as you can," Clausen said when asked if he thinks he's done enough to keep the starting job. "Obviously, I haven't played like I want to play. But I think it's just a transition that I'm going through right now."
As for the talk about the Carolina's potential interest in Luck, Clausen replied he's going to "just keep doing what I'm doing. In the offseason, getting bigger, faster, stronger and doing the little things I need to improve on for next season is what I'm going to be focusing on.
"It's all talk and speculation, so you can't listen to that kind of stuff."
The Falcons just played the Carolina Panthers three weeks ago.
However, the NFC South title and the No. 1 seed for the playoffs will be on the line in the rematch on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
The Falcons jumped out to a 17-0 lead and then cruised on in for a 31-10 victory.
The Panthers have since won their second game, while still securing the top spot for the 2011 NFL draft.
The Panthers' defense, which is led by linebacker Jon Beason and defensive end Charles Johnson, is still playing pretty hard.
"I've watched them on tape these last three games and the situation they are in, they are still playing with quite a high effort level," Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey said. "They are taking the ball away. They have 10 turnovers in the last five games. They are one of the top 10 teams in takeaways so we have to be very good with the ball."
The Falcons had two costly fumbles against New Orleans last Monday. Michael Turner fumbled on the 1-yard line and center Todd McClure skipped a shotgun snap back to Matt Ryan that was recovered by New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma.
The offense is coming off its least productive game of the season in which the Falcons were held to 215 yards and scored just one touchdown. They were a miserable 25 percent (3 of 12) on third downs.
All of the key weapons -- wide receiver Roddy White, tight end Tony Gonzalez and running back Michael Turner -- were held in check. Wide receiver Michael Jenkins stepped up at times, but the other weapons did not.
Look for the Falcons to attempt to get the running game rolling as they head into the playoffs. The Panthers are ranked 23rd against the run while giving up 125.5 yards per game.
"The guys are just unselfish," Mularkey said. "There is never any bickering about it. There's never anybody in Matt's ear about waiting the ball."
--WR Steve Smith was seen limping through the locker room Thursday with a stim unit on his right calf. He practiced on a limited basis Thursday and it's unclear if he will play.
--RB Jonathan Stewart returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday after sitting out practice the day before.
--FB Tony Fiammetta is likely to miss his second straight game Sunday with an ankle injury. He did not practice Thursday.
--FB Rashawn Jackson could see more playing time on Sunday against the Falcons with Tony Fiammetta out, but more than likely the Panthers will go with one-back sets and two tight ends.
--CB Chris Gamble is expected to miss his fifth straight game with an injury on Sunday.
--LB Nic Harris may not start Sunday. He missed practice Thursday with an ankle injury. If he can't go then Jordan Senn gets the start.
--QB Matt Ryan has 32 wins and can tie Hall of Famer Dan Marino (33) for most wins by quarterback in his first three seasons since 1970. Ryan is 19-2 (.905) at home as starter.
--RB Michael Turner leads the NFC with 1,304 rushing yards. He has rushed for 445 yards (111.3 per game) and eight touchdowns in the past four meetings with Carolina.
--WR Roddy White leads the NFL 109 receptions and needs three to pass Terance Mathis (111 in 1994) for the team record.
--TE Tony Gonzalez has a touchdown catch in two of past three games against Carolina.
--DE John Abraham has 11 sacks in the past 10 games. He has 102.5 sacks since 2000, second most in NFL over that period. He had a sack and an interception last week against New Orleans.
Who will win Sunday's Panthers-Falcons contest? Discuss in the message boards.

Re: Solving non linear equations
Please use lower-case letters, such as 'a', instead of upper-case
letters for names you devise. (To avoid clashes with built-in
Mathematica names, all of which begin with '$' or else an upper-case
letter.) Thus you should use for your equation:
x + 1/(1 + r^x) + a == 0
Are r and a supposed to be real, or would complex values be OK? What
range of values do you want for r or for a?
What makes you think there is a solution? Have you tried plotting. Look,

Maybe it's the drugs, maybe it's the boxing career....I dunno. But, I am having what seems to be a newbie problem that I just can't figure out.
I wanted a clean install of BT3, so I downloaded the vmware image and went from there.
I updated fast-track, then updated all under the fast-track menu. I then upgraded the vm from the vmware menu to 6 because I could not install the vmware tools (it just showed a blank image and no tools to install).
That didn't help either. When I try and install vmware's tools, BT3 opens a file explorer that shows nothing.
I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find an answer to this seemingly simple task.
Damn I feel stupid.....
I think you have to manually mount the tools:
mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom (or where ever the cdrom mount point is)
cd /mnt/cdrom
cp * /tmp
cd /tmp
umount /mnt/cdrom
(that is if memory serves correctly)
Its showing a mount error now.
I have uploaded a flash video to http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b...17756147830e53. Maybe this will make things more clear.
try mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom instead of mount -t iso9660
Does this mean anything?

Brick house, no insulation
We have a brick home built in the 50s. It has plaster walls with about a 2" gap between the plaster and brick with no insulation. I have read all the debates regarding insulating behind the existing walls. So here is where I need help. Could I build 2x4 walls over the existing plaster and insulate them and then cover them with drywall? What would be the steps? Vapor barrier? There is none in the cavity now. The house is on a slab. I live in northern Indiana where it is cold and windy in the winter. The exterior walls are very cold to the touch. I have insulated the attic.
Thanks for any help you can give!
If there's A 2" gap what's the plaster attached to?
Contacted any local company's that do foam insulation yet to have them do any on site quotes?
You could add that wall but you would also have to add jamb extensions to all the window and doors.
I'm interested as well as to what the plaster is attached to.
Maybe a bunch of goony feathers?
Apparently no sheathing on the studs.... just the cavity/air space (required for brick veneers) that you don't SPF directly on the brick. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...,d.cGU&cad=rja

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard threw a four-hit complete game shutout to guide the UAB baseball team to a 1-0 victory against No. 29 FIU on Friday night at Young Memorial Field. It marked UAB's first win against a nationally ranked opponent since May 3, 2013 against then-No. 18 Rice.
"He has done it every single time out," head coach Brian Shoop said. "That was against a really good offensive team, whether it looked like it or not tonight. That lineup is just pummeling people. They are putting up runs like crazy. It's just Chase Mallard again."
Mallard shut down the top offensive team in Conference USA on Friday night. Heading into the series opener, FIU (21-5, 6-4) led the conference in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs scored, hits, runs batted in, home runs, total bases, and stolen bases.
"He is just good at every phase of the game," Shoop praised. "Our kids play with a lot of confidence behind him."
The Cullman, Ala. native now has nine consecutive quality starts, dating back to 2013. Mallard, who had eight strikeouts on the night, has gone at least 7.0 innings in every start this year and now owns a 5-0 record with a 0.85 ERA.
The visiting Panthers recorded its first hit in the second inning. FIU sophomore infielder Edwin Rios hit a towering flying ball to left field. UAB senior outfielder Ivan De Jesus lost the ball in the air and it dropped for the Panthers' only extra-base hit of the night.
UAB (18-8, 5-2) finally broke through for its first hit of the game in the fourth. Junior outfielder Chase Davis singled up the middle, pushing his current hitting streak to five games. On the next play, De Jesus hit into a fielder's choice and was ultimately left on.
In the very next inning, UAB got the only run it would need for the night. Junior first baseman Jeff Schalk led the frame off with a walk. After consecutive UAB strikeouts, sophomore infielder Evan Peterson secured a walk. Sophomore infielder Adam Smith then hit a ground ball to FIU junior infielder Julius Gaines. Gaines made a throwing error on the play, allowing Smith to reach first and Schalk to score.
Mallard would stay in cruise control for the rest of the way, guiding the Blazers' to its 18th win of the year. The senior right-handed pitcher allowed singles in the third, fifth, and sixth innings, but would not allow a hit in the final three.
FIU junior right-handed pitcher Mike Franco put on a display on the mound, as well. Franco fanned 11 in 6.1 innings pitched, while only allowing three hits. His record dropped to 4-1 on the season.
The Conference USA three-game series resumes on Saturday afternoon. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. at Young Memorial Field. The original game time was 2 p.m., but was moved back an hour due to impending inclement weather.
Notes: The UAB baseball team defeated a nationally ranked opponent for the first time since May 3, 2013 against then-No. 18 Rice … Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard became the first Blazer to throw a complete game shutout since Alex Luna on April 24, 2013 against Alabama State … Mallard has nine consecutive quality starts dating back to 2013 … Junior outfielder Chase Davis extended his hitting streak to five games on Friday.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I bought this hairdryer a couple of years ago for £22 from Argos on offer. It caught my eye due to a number of reasons. The design was good as it looked like quite a stylish hair dryer and I liked the option of different heat/power settings. I also liked that it included a curling brush and it was quite cheap. Babyliss is quite a well known and respected brand when it comes to haircare so I didn't really have any reservations.
The first time I attempted to use the curling brush was an absolute disaster. It tangled my hair up and within a few minutes the brush had started to melt.
After a couple of uses, the hairdryer would occasionally start to glow orange and just turn off by itself. This became more frequent the more I used it until one day it just stopped working altogether.
The other brush it comes with is more suited to long hair I feel as it allows you to concentrate the heat on sections of your hair. The downside is that it would take quite long to dry all my hair (it is very long) even on the highest heat setting. The hairdryer was also quite heavy. As anyone with long hair will tell you, holding up a hairdryer for a prolonged amount of time will eventually make your wrist ache. This happened to me and would sometimes result in me leaving parts of my hair damp as it took too much effort to keep holding the dryer up.
The hairdryer is okay but there is a reason why it's so cheap. My advice, especially to those with long hair, would be to spend a bit more and invest in a more reliable hair dryer which won't burn out.
I had been borrowing my daughter's hair drier for a while now as my old one was so bad it had no power to it and was taking ages to dry my hair so I asked my Other Half if he would get me one as an extra present for Christmas.
The one he bought me was the Babyliss Pro power 2100 watt hair drier. It was quite a big box so I thought it would be a big drier and I wasn't wrong, it was quite a size up to the ones I have been used to. My first thought was that I would struggle with it as I have bad arms and can't lift them up properly for blow drying my hair but once I tried it out I found it was not that much heavier than the one I had used before.
There are three setting on the drier plus a cool button on the opposite side so if you are feeling it burning you can press this and it cools it down right away. I have found that I like to use the drier on the highest setting as this dries my hair the quickest and so means I don't have to hold it up for so long.
There are two styling brushes that come with the drier, ones is really good for my hair, it is one of those round brushes with the bristles, not just firm plastic. I find this excellent in conjunction with the drier for getting my short hair to style how I want it and giving it lots of body. The other brush you get is a flat brush which is more suited for long straight hair. I would not use this on my own hair but it has come in handy when I have my grand daughter over as she has really long hair and this brush does her hair without it tangling up in the bristles. You also get a couple of rollers in the box but again I would not use these on my short hair but you never know, they might come in handy for my daughter one day. Another thing you get is the end bit that you stick on the end of the drier so it sends the hot air in the direction you want it to, this is long and flat and I have tried it out but can't get on with it, it was either burning my scalp or missing my hair altogether so I have taken it off and just us the hair drier on its own.
I would really recommend this hair drier, the price is good, it is just £18 to buy on Very web site, might be cheaper elsewhere. It is solid and made really well and does a brilliant job of drying your hair.

Whilst the rest of the world was mourning the passing of Michael Jackson back in 2009, and with the deepest respect to Michael, I had more pressing concerns... My trusty old hair dryer had come out in sympathy and passed away at the same time. Time and cause of death, much like Mr. Jackson, have never really fully been known. Perhaps my hair dryer had also taken on a bit more than it could chew with drying my hair ever day, who knows. With money being a tad sparse, I made do for a little while with the spare hair dryer before that too sadly died one snowy winter morning. Not wanting to have to go to work with soaking wet hair in the middle of January, I bravely drove to the local supermarket in search of a replacement for the morning.
Now to be fair, I didn't have an awful lot of choice, I could either buy a Babyliss hair dryer for about £30 or this one for £14.99. Seeing as I only ever intended this to be a temporary measure, I opted for the £14.99. Not a bad price for a hair dryer and I have often found, the cheaper ones to be the best. Not so with this one.
I find that the top heat setting dries my hair super quick but also leaves it in an appalling, weak, damaged fluffy condition. So I tried the middle setting which took forever in comparison and whilst my hair was quite smooth, it also felt a bit lank and greasy. I have never bothered trying the lowest setting as I suspect my hair would end up feeling even more greasy. So now, I have managed to work out a complicated switching method between the high and middle settings for temperature and speed but even that I'm not completely satisfied with. The cool shot is a useful setting and comes in handy when I'm switching through all the different heating settings trying to find my desired temperature.
The hair dryer is quite loud but to be fair, I dry my hair at 6am in the morning and everything is loud at that time! This one does seem to be louder than my previous one though.
The box doesn't state the length of the cord on it but I am 5'7 and I find the cord is ample length for me.
It's an okay hair dryer for the price but if money wasn't so tight at the moment - I would have replaced it some time ago.
Finally after hours of searching through amazon, I came across this. A reasonably priced hairdryer which I was in desperate need of as my last had recently given up its ghost and blown up.
Although a bit clunky and big, it does its job fairly nicely. My hair has never dried so fast, which for someone who is constantly running to lectures and seminars, this was a little bit of a godsend.
The hairdryer had three setting of heat, a 'cold blast' button and two other settings of power. Which if you want to take it slow and carefully dry your hair and minimize the damage and upping the styling this it is pretty good.
Thedryer comes with two attachments, a 'curl' attachment, which for someone with pan straight hair was pretty useless at first, but after some time on youtube I can now effectively 'crimp' my hair. The other attachment which focuses the air of the dryer is brilliant for styling, something I use a lot with a big round bristle brush in order to give my hair that extra lift.
Overall its a nifty chunky dryer, that I wouldn't recommend traveling with, but it does the job for the price your paying.

LUBBOCK, Texas • Landry Jones passed for two touchdowns, Blake Bell ran for two more and No. 17 Oklahoma beat Texas Tech 41-20 on Saturday to avenge the Sooners' home loss to the Red Raiders last season.
The win was crucial for Oklahoma to remain in the conversation for the Big 12 title.
Both of Jones' touchdown passes went for 13 yards one each to Justin Brown and Kenny Stills. Bell, in at quarterback, scored his touchdowns from a yard out.
Javon Harris put the game out of reach midway through the third quarter when he returned an interception 46 yards for a TD to put the Sooners (3-1, 1-1) up 38-13.
The Red Raiders had their worst defensive performance this year, giving up 380 yards after coming in ranked No. 1 in the nation.
Seth Doege was 22 of 36 for 203 yards and had three interceptions for Texas Tech (4-1, 1-1).
The win was sweet for the Sooners, who lost 41-38 to the Red Raiders last season a defeat that broke Oklahoma's 39-game win streak in Norman.
It was the first time the Sooners won in Lubbock since 2003.
It also upped the Sooners' record to 19-0 in games following a loss going back to 2004. They lost two weeks ago at home 24-19 to Kansas State. OU also avoided having back-to-back Big 12 losses under coach Bob Stoops.

" Brand: The First Years / Type: Activity Gyms "
This 3 in 1 toy is great is you are pushed for space or cash. It is an activity gym which can be changed for multiple uses as the child gets bigger. It is made of a sturdy plastic.
It starts off as a play gym for children 0-6 months. It is brightly coloured and the baby lies underneath it and reaches and tries to grab the objects hanging off the bar. The frame is yellow and it has a large roller bar in the centre at the top which spins round and displays different images. It has beads inside it to make a rattly sound. The frame also has a lion dangling off it which when pressed plays music. The lion is in the centre and on either side are 2 hanging toys which the baby can try to grab, one of these is a bell shape and the other is a ball which rotates when touched.
As the baby gets older and is able to sit up they are able to use the play gym as an activity centre. The only difference is that they are able to view the images on the roller bar.
As soon as the child is able to stand the walker can be changed into a push walker. This helps to give them a steady support when walking as they can push it along at their preferred speed.
The walker is easy assembled, there were only 6 pieces to fit together and it is easily converted into the walker. The walker turns upside down and 2 extra wheels are added to front ( they just click into place). The roller bar separates to provide a handle bar. It sounds complicated but it isn't!
The walker takes 2 AA batteries for the musical lion and I think I only ever changed the batteries twice in the 2 years I have had it.
This walker is a really good idea, it doesn't take up much space considering it is 3 toys and it is simple to adapt to each stage. The play gym is stimulating to babies because of the noise and colours, it also helps to develop their hand eye co-ordination.
I found that the first and third stages were perfecr for my childs development but the second stage he did find a little boring. The activities aren't any different, the only thing that changed is that he was viewing it at a different angle. Maybe a few toys on the side of the top bar would be better so it is something new for them to play with.
Another problem I had was that the space between the legs of the play gym isn't very wide and once my son had started rolling he kept getting himself stuck on the wheels. A little bit wider would have been better.
All in all I found this product very useful, it got a lot of use out of it.
The ultimate activity toy, which has won numerous awards. Converts from a play gym to an activity center and then to a push walker, providing support for those first steps.

Best WAY TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR??
The SVTF I bought this weekend has red and black seats with red trim in the doors. What would be the best way to change the red to black? I"ve looked online and seen a lot of people useing some sort of interior spray paint on their seats and trim with so-so results. Is this the best way without getting a new interior installed? Any help would be great, and thanks!
Well like door pieces, yes they can be changed or painted, as for the seats I wouldn't paint them, but maybe look at changing just the leather out for another set of one's that are just black, you know what I'm saying? Just take the leather off not the foam and whole seat.
As for the dash and other trim panels yes there is ways to paint them, check out our how-to's and it will tell you the whole sanding and priming before paint process.
EDIT: here we go, this is how to change the color of the door material. http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/mk1-interior-mods-upgrades/243997-how-make-custom-inserts-door-panels.html
And with this link here, you can find the rest of the ways to change the inside of your car.> http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=65218
The leather portion is already black, and thats cool, but its the cloth portion thats red. I was hopeing to paint or dye them black to match the leather. I"ll try to post pics if I can do it with my cell. Thanks for the link to changing the panels, I"ll add it to my to-do list. Where can I get black seude?
id try to trade for a set of EAP Recaros +cash on your end if I were you. that way you have black seats that are awesome, someone else can enjoy the red svt seats and you dont risk ruining a set.
i wouldn't bother with trying to spray out the red in the seats. Either trade the interior pieces with somebody who has full black leather seats, or buy some seat covers that you like.
As for the panels in the side, you can probably trade thouse out too if you want, or you can follow the instructions, and replace the cloth to your liking.
It depends on what you wanna spend. Ill post a link tomorrow for new leather skins. But it's gonna run you 700 - 1k. I found a company online that already has done our tote of seats. You can get pretty much anything.
Changing the inserts is relatively easy, just be super patient with it when pulling them off so you don't have to recreate them like I did. I looked into it and the best I could tell the easiest way to change out the seat cloth is just buy a new set of seats. I was hoping to change if for a lighter red that matches my suede but thats WAY too expensive for me :(
Thanks for all the tips guys, I've posted in the WTB for the EAP seats, and I"ll be changing over the panels myself....as soon sa I find a store that sells black suede!

Paterson Calls for Doubling DNA Database
Governor David Paterson has proposed roughly doubling New York's DNA database to include samples from low-level offenders. It would make it the first in the nation to so broadly collect and use DNA evidence.
The proposed law would require adding about 48,000 samples a year to New York's laboratory system. State officials say it is capable of handling the extra work, with no current backlogs.
"We have samples on so many people that recommit crimes already - it's the old rule of criminals don't specialize," Sean Byrne, acting commissioner of the Division of Criminal Justice Services, told the Associated Press.
State police already have DNA samples from 356,000 people convicted of felonies and certain misdemeanors, including petty larceny and endangering the welfare of a child. The database was started in 1996 with the genetic material from killers and sex predators. The pool has been expanded three times since that time.
The governor's plan has drawn support from a law school center involved in efforts nationwide to use DNA evidence to reverse wrongful convictions. Over the past two decades, there have been 254 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States, according to a nonprofit legal clinic, the Innocence Project. Associated with New York's Cardozo Law School, the project is part of a network that encourages use of DNA evidence to overturn convictions.
But Robert Perry, legistlative director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, told the Associated Press that there are questions of privacy and the rights of defendants to due process - and that an independent analysis of the database expansion is needed first. He putting the DNA of thousands more people into the data bank might bring with them risk of degraded samples, human error in testing labs and even intentional fraud.
"The complexity and importance of the issues raised by the proposal to expand the state's DNA data bank - issues of law, science and public policy - are matched only by the indifference of lawmakers," Perry said.
Through April 30, there were 7,825 positive matches against the state's data bank, including 137 homicide convictions and 453 sexual assaults, according to the criminal justice department.
Governor Paterson said it would cost about $1.6 million more annually for state police to increase data collection to get a complete list of New York criminals' DNA, adding many other misdemeanors.
"DNA is the most powerful tool ever discovered to solve crimes, prevent crimes and exonerate the innocent, but remarkably in New York State we are still collecting DNA from only 46 percent of the criminals convicted," he said.

Oven-Baked Chinese Spareribs
Recipe by Hey Jude
Get your butcher to cut your ribs in half lengthwise for this terrific rib recipe. This has been a hit at every party I've ever taken it to so now I just bring copies of the recipes with me when it's my turn to provide the appetizer. You can also make a meal out of these with some rice and flash-cooked greens. Prep time does not include marinading time.
Top Review by startnover
I finally tried these Judy! They are way good! My 13 yr old was licking the marinade from the bottom of the mixing bowl so we wouldn't "waste" any. The whole house smelled amazing! I made a whole Costco pack of Pork ribs which is a lot but got started on them to late. They only marinated on Christmas eve for 4-5 hours but were still good. I left the other 1/2 in the marinade for about 36 hours and then simmered the remaining marinaide in a sauce pan while they were cooking. When they came out of the oven I poured the marinaide over them and coated them in it. Lots of flavor ( I did add more garlic cause you can never have to much :)

Publication Acceptance Date: 8/29/2001
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Knowledge of the surface emissivity is important for determining the radiation balance at the land surface. For arid lands with sparse vegetation the problem is difficult because the emissivity of the exposed soils and rocks is highly variable. Multispectral thermal infrared data from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflectance Radiometer (ASTER) instrument provides a new tool for estimating emissivity. ASTER ha 5 channels in the 8 to 12 micrometer band with 90 meter resolution. These data can be used to assess the spectral variations of surface emissivity. We will present ASTER data acquired over the Jornada Experimental Range and White Sand National monument in New Mexico in May 2000 & 2001. The Jornada site is typical of a desert grassland where the main vegetation components are grass and shrubs. Good quantitative agreement with laboratory measurements was found for the emissivities extracted for the gypsum sands of the White Sands. For the sites within the Jornada the results were qualitatively consistent with ground measurements made with a multi-channel CIMEL radiometer having similar bands to those of ASTER. The resulting estimates of the surface emissivity are in good agreement with the laboratory measurements of the soils emissivity spectra. The results show considerable variation amongst the samples in the 8 to 9.5 micrometer region. Thus it is now possible to estimate the spectral emissivity variation for these surfaces on a global basis at high spatial resolution.

What kid doesn't love pinwheels? I colored this little guy with m watercolor markers. I used the colors of one of my son's shirts for inspiration.
See the cute little blue strip with the boat? That's actually the top of a paint chip. I thought it was the perfect little somethin' somethin' the ATC needed to add a bit more of the "playful" feeling.
On to Bombshell! I chose to challenge our hoppers this month to a color challenge. I love color challenges! I found a beautiful palette from Design Seeds. Here it is.
I told the hoppers that they need to use at least 3 of these colors, and can only add black, white, and neutrals to their projects. Here's my creation.
My focal image is from the Girl's Ruin set. My leopard print is from the Bombshell Patterns set, and the flower is from Bombshell Angel. I colored the image with my watercolor markers, and used Distress Ink for the others. Also, the main image was stamped with brown Memento, which I thought looked really nice.
There you have it! I hope you enjoyed my projects. Here is the full hop list. Thank you for stopping by! Have an inspiring day!

'Puttin' On The Green' Party Is Saturday In Grand Rapids
Good things, like St. Patrick's Day parties, come to those who wait. But occasionally we get sick of waiting. Why not just have an Irish party this weekend?
Enter…Puttin' On The Green.
Puttin' On The Green is run by St. Adalbert's Aid Society. The party will take place at Fifth Street Hall on Saturday, February 24, from 3:30pm to 12:30am.
Nothing wrong with a little practice in anticipation of March 17. Plus, it gives us a chance to make sure our green St. Patrick's Day clothes from last year still fit.
Food includes bangers and mash, and there will be no shortage of drinks. There's Irish Step Dancing at 4:00pm and 6:30pm, plus live music from Craic Wisely, Gasta, and String Cheese. Suggested donation is $10. No charge 15 and under.
This latest snowstorm has kind of ruined our "it's spring in February" buzz. Let's get that springtime feeling back tomorrow at Puttin' On The Green!

In F1 they have wet tyres (ie the tread is cut for water evacuation) and they red flag wet races sometimes. What's wrong with not running on a wet track when you only have full slicks ? 2 agree 1 disagree

Sneak Review: Grateful Bread
Sancocho at Grateful Bread
Photo by Lee Klein
First, the answer: The sancocho pictured above and in last weeks' Where It At? is taken from the specials menu at Grateful Bread.
And now, the abbreviated sneak preview of the New Times restaurant review for next week:
Our strongest recommendation from Grateful Bread's regular menu is chicken Veracuzano, the tender breast meat bathed in a sauté of tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, capers, and parsley -- accompanied by rice, beans, and steamy corn tortillas.
Grateful Bread 927 NE 125th St; 305-873-6440.
Moises' Venezuelan empanada rocks, the half-moon dough tasting of corn meal, fried to soft consistency, and plumped with moist shreds of chicken or beef. As the juice drips down your chin, you'll be thinking about just how well your three dollars have been spent.
Moises Bakery 7310 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-868-0548.

When things go right, the special teams coach is all but invisible on his media access day. But coordinator Tom Quinn was very much in demand Thursday, not just because the special teams had two major gaffes in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Eagles, but because the punt coverage team has been seriously flawed all season.
The strange thing is, most of the members of the punt coverage unit are the same ones that appear on kickoff coverage. Yet, when you put the two groups next to each other, the kickoff group is doing so much better than the punt coverage.
"That's the big question," Quinn said. "We talked about that today in the meeting because a couple of years ago we could cover punts, but we couldn't cover kickoffs, so we kind of put the verbiage on how we cover kickoffs. We stole it from the punt, so now I'm like, what do we have to go back to using the verbiage on how we cover kickoffs?
"But it is the same guys. It's a confidence factor. The kickoff team has a lot of confidence running down the field, so you show them anything and they try to defeat it and attack it. Punt team you get back on your heels a little bit because you haven't had the success. We told them to just go fast and believe what you see and make it into a kickoff coverage if you can."
It hasn't worked so far. The punt coverage has given up returns at a whopping 14.7-yard margin, which includes touchdown returns from Dallas' Dez Bryant and, of course, Jackson. Nobody has returned one off the kickoff coverage, and that unit has limited returners to a respectable 19.9-yard average.
Some of it may have to do with the fact that Lawrence Tynes is knocking his kickoffs better than he ever has in his four years as a Giant. Though he only has six touchbacks this year, Tynes has placed his kickoffs well for the most part, with enough hangtime for the coverage to get downfield. Dodge has suffered a rocky rookie season, with more than one line drives like the one he sent Jackson's way in the final 14 seconds of last Sunday's game.
But despite Dodge's problems, someone still should have tackled Jackson as he scrambled to retrieve his fumble. Instead, Duke Calhoun missed him at the beginning of his return. No one was close to him as Jackson headed upfield. And Dodge, really, was the only one who had a shot at him before he broke into the clear for the miracle, game-winning touchdown. On tape, it appeared Dodge even touched Jackson as the returner flew past him.
"I don't know. The kicks that we haven't covered well, the three ones, we had guys in position, we just didn't make the plays, so that comes down to me coaching them better, getting them better prepared technique-wise," Quinn said. "The Dez Bryant one, we had a guy there, the DeSean Jackson one we had one there, and then the one from Minnesota (Lorenzo Booker's 49-yard return), we'll just put that one in that category too, we had multiple guys there."
Tom Coughlin said there would be no wholesale changes on the punt coverage team.
The ones on the team now are the ones who are going to have to fix the problem.
"There are a lot of reasons," Coughlin said. "But let's just leave at that. We are not covering very well."

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - UCLA center Josh Smith sat crouched in his locker, shoulders touching both walls and people crowded around him. His presence hardly seemed imposing.
Then he stood up, giving everyone a clear view of his 6-foot-10, 325-pound frame.
Smith was the center of attention Friday - in the Bruins' locker room, in two news conferences and especially in Florida's team meeting room.
"It's not like I'm like the Hulk or anything," Smith said.
Uh, Florida disagrees. The No. 2 seed in the Southeast region is focusing on Smith heading into Saturday's third-round game. With good reason, too.
The freshman from Kent, Wash., the one simply nicknamed "Big Josh," was a major factor in No. 7 seed UCLA's opener in the NCAA tournament. He had 14 points, three rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block.
His numbers were only part of the story. Smith dominated the paint, forcing Michigan State to settle for jumpers and 3-pointers.
"He's a mountain," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "He's a freight train. I would say every game that Josh Smith goes into, he has a physical advantage. I don't think there's any question about that. ... I don't think that necessarily any of our frontcourt players are just going to line up and move him around."
Probably not.
UCLA coach Ben Howland moved Smith back in the starting lineup against the Spartans after bringing him off the bench since early January. The reason?
"He changes the game when he's in there because he's a low-post threat," Howland said. "There's so few guys that are really good in the low post, or anywhere, whether it's in the NBA or college basketball. When you find one and you have one, it's important to take advantage of it."
Howland and Donovan know that as well as anyone.
Florida beat UCLA in the Final Four in consecutive years in 2006 and 2007. The Gators had a significant size advantage inside, with 6-foot-10 Al Horford and 6-foot-11 Joakim Noah in the starting lineup and 6-foot-9 Chris Richard coming off the bench.
Horford, Noah and the Gators dominated both meetings, winning 73-57 in the title game in 2006 and notching a 76-66 victory in the semifinals the following year.
"A lot of UCLA fans have texted me saying, 'Hey, get revenge on the Gators for what they did to us,"' Smith said. "I don't really have an effect on that, though. I was still in high school watching the games. I remember what Horford and Noah were doing to us and they just kind of beasted us.
"We're going to use that as motivation - the team that knocked us out of the championship game and the Final Four the last two years we were in it."
Howland and Donovan downplayed those past games.
"We don't need what happened in the past to motivate us any more than we're motivated," Howland said. "This is the NCAA tournament. If you don't win, your season is over."
Donovan took it a step further, saying he wanted his players to approach the game as the first time the teams have ever played.
"What happened two, three, four, five years ago, really to me has nothing to do with this game," Donovan said. "This is a new, separate challenge for our team to go out and to play against a very talented and athletic UCLA team. And I would say the UCLA teams, personnel-wise, today are totally different than the ones we played four and five years ago."
That's mostly because of Smith.
Although he's averaging only 10.7 points and 6.3 rebounds, Smith changes the way teams attack the basket. He laughed at the thought of Florida point guard Erving Walker, generously listed at 5-8, driving into the lane. He also showed off scrapes and bruises on his elbows from taking charges.
Smith grew up playing shortstop on baseball teams, which explain his soft hands and smooth footwork, and even played offensive tackle as a high school senior.
"Coach Howland would call me after every practice, after every game," Smith said. "It was funny. He came up to about four of our games just to make sure (I was healthy)."
Smith kept getting into early foul trouble during his first few games, so Howland starting bringing him off the bench. The moved paid off. Smith has fouled out just once in the last 17 games.
"He's just going to get better and better," Howland said. "Josh is a very good passer, very skilled. ... I think Josh is special. I think Josh is just scratching the surface of where he can go with his talents."
Smith arrived on campus around 370 pounds, but has been shedding weight ever since.
He checked in at 323 pounds a little more than a week ago. The Gators haven't faced anyone like him. Vanderbilt's Festus Ezeli and Mississippi State's Renardo Sidney are loads, but they pale in comparison to Smith.
So how will Florida's frontcourt - center Vernon Macklin, forward Alex Tyus and reserves Patric Young and Erik Murphy - fare?
"It's going to be a different look," Macklin said.
Added Young: "It's going to be a real tough challenge. I'm 245; he's (325). I'm going to be giving it all I've got and he's probably going to be chilling."

28% of tickets it sold in May came from the Fandango mobile app. That represents a 47% increase in such ticket sales year-over-year. Furthermore, the number of users flocking to the Fandango mobile app increased 29% in May from the previous year.
The numbers are not just a statement on the increasing use of smartphones in our everyday lives, but is also evidence to how Fandango has created a brand that is almost synonymous with a night out at the the 'talkies'. The Fandango app is available for free from the App Store, Google Play Store, BlackBerry App World, Windows Phone Market and the HP App Catalog.

There's an odd report in the Sunday papers that Newcastle may try to get Charles N'Zogbia back on Tyneside in the summer.
Charles N'Zogbia – does he want to come back?
Newcastle sold N'Zogbia to Wigan for £6M plus getting Ryan Taylor coming the other way, so that could be for around £8M approximately.
Charles has done well at Wigan, and may even be showing some signs of maturity, and the lad has played well for the Lancashire side this season – their best player easily.
But the fee is said to be £6M, and there's no way Newcatsle can get him for that low price, surely.
Charles, who is now a full French International seemed to be willing to come back to Newcastle when Pardew went after him on January 31st, after selling Andy Carroll, and that surprised us a little.
At the time the price Wigan wanted was of course sky high, and they were hoping the Magpies were desperate enough – but they weren't – they are not quite that daft these days
The news is that Newcastle are willing to put together a lucrative package for the 24 year-old, who was at Newcastle from August of 2004 until January of 2009, and there's no doubt the lad is a very good player.
Sunderland and Birmingham are also said to be interested in the player – and it's not surprising Sunderland are interested in him. 😀
It would be a big surprise if Charles N'Zogbia comes back to Newcastle, and in our poll asking if readers wanted him back, around 62% said they didn't want him back on Tyneside.
Comments welcome.

We comment on the following points:
20 Foot Container
They have restricted the length of the new multihull to be a maximum of 5,898m (the inner length of a 20 foot container). No one will travel, in sailing, with a 20 foot container. It's too small and not eco-friendly and sometimes more expensive than a 40 foot container. If you want to travel eco-friendly with multihulls (10 Tornados in one container) and ribs (coach boats); the sailing world has been using 40 foot containers for decades. So why is there a restriction to the length of 20 foot containers?
Two piece mast
Such a mast is heavier. It's more complicated to make it watertight. After a while the joint/conjunction gets loose and the mast has a chance of bending characteristics. This has nothing to do with strict one design. You can change mast bending a lot by playing with the conjunctions. Also there is a risk for breakage and leaking in a simple capsize.
120-140kg crew weights
Another class aside 470, surfers and 49er for light weight teams. An average man with a weight of 80kgs or more has no chance any more. The Finn Class is the clear winner of them all. Every person above 80kgs must sail Finn. Star is out. Match race women too. Women and men with an average or higher weight have no chance to sail mixed multihull. Many mixed multihull teams weight above 140kgs. And the new average weight of a mixed team should be 130kgs? This actual disqualifies 50% of all mixed sailing teams.
What weight statistics have ISAF used? If you watch real Olympic athletes and normal average weight statistics, we end up above 140kgs. Click here for more details.
The 120-140kg team weights with an average of 130kg forces bulimia for Olympic athletes. More details here.
National Sailing Federations - MNAs
They lost the Star boat. They lost the Elliot's. Now they have lost the Tornados which are ready to sail on all continents. Let's ask the MNAs what they think about this. Every four years the MNAs have to buy new Olympic sailing equipment. Who should finance this?
ISAF want to have a small boat. The media will have less interest in this. Sailors will get fewer sponsors. This means: Downsize Olympic multihull sailing in a way that the media has no interest any more.
ISAF Committees
If you looked carefully inside the technical committees of the ISAF, you will see sailors with great commercial interest who create the rules the way it fits perfectly to their boats/products that they sell. The Tornado Class is a real non-profit organization. Now commercial interest of some sailors have made the rules and kicked the Tornado out before it can reach the starting line of the ISAF trials. What would you call this?
ISAF must act now!
There is only one way to come out of this dilemma. Change the rules and allow the original 'Tornado' to sail in the ISAF evaluation trials!

Let's start with understanding what exactly an AGV or automated guided vehicle is. AGV is a mobile robot (automated self-driving vehicle) that will follow a set path of markers or wires in order to carry goods, raw materials and other hardware from point A to point B.
Other technologies that AGVs uses are lasers, GPS navigation and magnets which more or less help the computer chip running the AGV in determining the set path laid ahead of it. You can easily see an AGV in action by visiting a large manufacturing unit.
So what happens when more than one AGVs is running around in the warehouse? Think about a train system. There are many trains that are moving at high speeds and often, on the same tracks. They are all controlled using computers and complex algorithms where the distance between two trains are measured and controlled.
Instead of using train tracks, AGV uses magnetic tapes, GPS and lasers to determine the path they are supposed to follow. Their speeds are set and paths are laid out for them in advance. Using complex algorithms and computing power, it is made sure that no two AGVs are on a collision path. This way, all the heavy goods are delivered to their respective areas and sectors without meeting any accidents.
In order to steer, instead of using human intervention as in case of trains, AGVs uses steering control which are of three different types, the most commonly used among them being differential speed control. AGV is supported by two independent drive wheels which are capable of rolling at different speeds, and hence helping the AGV to make turns on their chosen pathway.
The second one is very similar to a car steering wheel which is much more precise in following the chosen path laid out in front of it. The third one is a combination of the first two and is less common and more complex.

In June, Southwark Council will announce its development partner for a £1.5 billion project that will deliver 5,300 new homes and transform the shambolic Elephant & Castle shopping centre into a fashionable commercial and retail hub.
A cluster of landmark towers - one designed by Richard Rogers - plus civic squares and an improved transport interchange are planned, too.
Canny investors spotted the area three years ago when values were rock bottom. So, have new buyers missed the boat? No, say experts.
"Prices are about 20 per cent lower than the average for a travel Zone 1 location, and that anomaly will not endure," says Andrew Palmer, of property consultant DTZ Residential. "The area is ripe for take-off."
Resurgent London is not short of regeneration zones, but Elephant & Castle is arguably a special case because it is equidistant between the West End and the City (both less than two miles away). It has been discovered by walk-to-work young professionals, and as more glamorous homes come on stream, values are expected to rise.
Developers report pent-up demand because so few new homes have been built to date in spite of the Elephant's up-and-coming status.
Available off-plan now are flats at Strata, a 43-storey skyscraper being built by Multiplex; 400 homes are priced from £245,000. Call 020 7710 8116 for more details.
Coming soon is Oakmayne Plaza, featuring 219 flats built around a new market square; call 020 7407 3667. Meanwhile, developer First Base is putting the finishing touches to Newington, a scheme of 470 flats (a mix of private and key-worker homes). For more information, call 020 7851 5555.

Musicians take social networking into their own hands
By Jennifer Netherby
NEW YORK (Billboard) - 50 Cent has more than 1 million friends on MySpace, but if the rapper ever decides to leave the social network, he'll be leaving behind those friends, too. So like a growing number of artists, he's started his own social networking site.
On Thisis50.com, fans can create profiles and friend lists just like on MySpace, but 50 Cent has direct access to the site's users and their e-mail addresses.
More and more acts, from Kylie Minogue to Ludacris to the Pussycat Dolls, are launching their own social networks, which are becoming a sort of next-generation version of artist Web sites.
The social networking component gives fans a reason to hang out on a site and visit more often than they would a standard Web site. And artists can sell advertisements on their sites and offer downloads and merchandise for sale -- options they don't have on MySpace or Facebook. Plus, they own the content and data on how fans use their site, which they don't get on other social networks.
"The thing that separates Thisis50 from MySpace is we control the e-mail database," says Chris "Broadway" Romero, director for new media at G-Unit Records, which handles Thisis50. "We can e-mail members if we want to."
Thisis50 isn't meant to be a fan club, but rather a platform for 50 Cent to showcase his music and music he likes, and comment on news and user profile pages. Ludacris' WeMix.com, on the other hand, is more of a hub for aspiring artists to upload their music.
The artist networks aren't meant to replace MySpace or Facebook, which tend to attract a broader audience and more users.
"(Artists) think about MySpace and Facebook as funnels for their own social networks," says Gina Bianchini, CEO of Ning, a company that provides social networking tools for Thisis50, Sara Bareilles and others. "They take and use services where they don't know the users, don't have access and don't have full control, and funnel those fans to something they do control." Continued...
