While a national denomination fitfully advanced an agenda of social justice and civil rights, my local congregation fractured. The session moderator, a host of leading congregants, and much of the attendance disappeared. Week by week, the numbers dwindled. Empty pews were disillusioning. Across the country, congregations were leaving and joining a splinter denomination, and bitter [Read More…]

These prices are not exact, i searched and when i came across a price i copied it, C-F-M.com has pretty much almost all of these intakes for good prices, but you can purchase from where ever you want, if you find a good price.
Cold Air Intake Pros:
-Cooler air brought in means denser air which = more power
-Bling Factor, having an intake tube snake down into the bay is liked by some
-Limited Heat soak
Cold Air Intake Cons:
-Chance of Hydrolock (low, but its still there)
-Price, typically more expensive
Short Ram Intake Pros:
-No chance of Hydrolock
-Bling Factor, having a big air filter in eyes view is liked by some
-Typically cheaper
Short Ram Intake Cons:
-Very absorbent to heat soak(this is where the air filter sucks in warm air from the engine bay, thus loosing power)
-Less horsepower/torque
Pros for ITB's (cosworth)
-Most N/A hp/tq available
-Huge Bling factory (everyone usually loves ITB's)
-Quality, Cosworth is 2nd to none
Cons for ITB's(cosworth)
-Makes N20 abit harder
-Makes S/C and Turbo near impossible
-Makes tuning alot longer/harder
Air Filters for Your CAI/SRI:
With our CAI/SRI's there are basically 2 options, the ITG with the focussport, or the K&N, all of the other intakes use a K&N or rebadged K&N filter, you can purchase the ITG or a Cone style K&N seperately, you can easily find the K&N cones, but focussport does sell the ITG "cone" by itself.

About ITG Air Filters
The Best Air Filters Ever Made, Period.
ITG's current range is the product of almost 19 years of constantly striving for the best designs, made from the best materials with the best manufacturing methods. Whether you're racing, rallying, cruising or shopping, you can be sure nobody makes a better filter.
The best proving ground for any performance product has always been motorsport, that's why top teams from WRC/F2 Rally Cars to Super Touring and Formula 1, make ITG their first choice in air filtration.
The technology of 'Reticulated Polyester Foam' allows itg greater flexibility in design and performance than paper or cotton gauze style filters. itg was probably the first company to manufacture a truly durable, high performance foam-based production air filter.
Why foam? Because, compared to paper or other filter technologies, reticulated polyester foam achieves optimum performance against three key criteria:
1. Maximum Air Flow - the filters ability to allow air to pass through without causing a large pressure-drop.
2. Cleaning Efficiency - the capacity of a filter to arrest a high proportion of the dust carried in the air, whilst feeding the engine clean air.
3. Dust Load-up Tolerance - the capability to absorb a large amount of dust, without reducing air flow capacity.
With the unique Tri-Foam System, which uses various thicknesses of finer or coarser foams, these factors can be varied for different applications.
Tri-foam gives us the flexibility to produce air filters to exact specifications and, where high flow rates are possible, we can tailor filters to arrest even the slightest dust traces.
What's more, because we use the very latest adhesive technologies to bond the foam layers, itg filter assemblies are totally resistant to water, fumes, oils and fuels - including the exotic brews used in racing.
From K&N.com:
We believe the primary function of an air filter is to deliver both high airflow and superior dirt protection. We design our air filters to provide minimum restriction allowing high airflow into an engine. In the vast majority of cases increased airflow will increase engine performance measured by horsepower and throttle response (torque). The performance benefits of maximum airflow are clear, compelling and well documented. That is why so many professional racers are willing to run expensive vehicles with no air filter, as opposed to installing a disposable air filter. They are seeking the additional horsepower and throttle response needed to win the race.
We design our air filters to provide superior filtration of the contaminants that can harm your engine while maximizing the airflow characteristics of the filter in question. The ability of an air filter to protect your engine is generally measured in accordance with testing procedure ISO 5011. We subject a sample of our filter designs to this test procedure using Coarse Test Dust, which includes particles ranging in size from less than 5.5 microns to 176 microns. As a point of reference, a human hair is approximately 50 microns in diameter. The result of the above test procedure is a specific air filtration efficiency number. This efficiency number represents the percentage of test dust retained by the filter and thereby kept out of an engine. Our goal is to design our air filters to achieve maximum airflow while targeting overall filtration efficiency at 98%.
Because no two air filters are alike, the specific airflow and overall filtration efficiency will vary depending on the filter in question. However, you can rest assured that each air filter we sell, has been designed to achieve high air flow while providing superior filtration.
Both air flow and dirt protection are critical to engine performance. For this reason a consumer should always evaluate an air filter based on both its filtration efficiency and air flow capabilities. It is very easy to design an air filter that exhibits high airflow simply by reducing its filtration to unacceptable levels. As the "look" of a K&N air filter has become popular, many companies have begun offering products that copy that "look." While imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery, our own testing has shown that many of these look-alike products do not provide a safe level of engine protection.
There are few areas more confusing than identifying dirt retention requirements when it comes to air filters. Most vehicle owner's manuals remain silent on the point. In fact, few air filter manufacturers publish any information as to the filtration efficiency of their filters. This stands in marked contrast to oil and fuel filters where there is a relatively large amount of information regarding filtration requirements and capabilities. Studies have shown most engine wear is caused by particles 10 to 20 microns in size. K&N air filters, like most quality disposable air filters, provide excellent filtration of these particles.
To ensure our air filters provide a high level of dirt protection, we regularly test our air filter designs using the testing procedure described above. Those tests demonstrate K&N air filters generally achieve overall filtration efficiency in the range of 97% - 98%, while some of our air filter designs have achieved levels as high as 99%. The fact that our air filters at times reach overall filtration efficiencies as high as 99% while maintaining high airflow is a testament to the quality and capabilities of our oil impregnated cotton air filter medium.
On occasion we see "new" air filter media's developed and sold under the premise they provide increased levels of dirt filtration. More often than not, as opposed to quoting specific efficiency numbers, this "increased protection" is described as increased dirt retention capacity, meaning the filter can hold more dirt before requiring replacement. Remember, K&N air filters have always provided a service life in excess of disposable filters and then only require cleaning and oiling for re-use.
We encourage customers to do their homework and be aware of the filtration capabilities of an air filter before they buy. Our own testing has revealed wide differences in filtering capabilities. We were surprised to see some disposable paper air filters with an overall filtration efficiency as low as 93%. We hope we have provided enough information to ensure consumers know what they are getting when they buy a K&N air filter.
those are just 2 quotes and alittle information on the 2 types of filters.
i hope this helps with any new people in their decision for the intake purchase for their car.
*2008* Ford Focus Intake's
[B] Well, with the growing number of Duratec performance members, owning and bringing in the 08 for Performance Mods, usually everyone typically starts with an Intake.
As of Right now, there are
limited options, and I will go through them below:
---K&N Replacement Filter---
Often these Go also by Drop-In filters, as they require
modification to be installed.
2008 has an advantage over the earlier Model duratecs, as the earlier models have a 100k non-serviceable filter from the factory.
Wheres in 2008, they have a serviceable filter, which allows it to be replaced by a "drop-in" filter
K&N's replacement air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. We make over 1,200 different replacement air filters for virtually every vehicle on the road. These filters are washable and reusable and are custom designed to fit into your existing factory air box. Their drop-in design means adding performance is simple. With most vehicles you simply remove the disposable air filter and replace it with a K&N. See applicable instruction sheet for details. Our stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million-Mile Limited Warranty™ and will be THE LAST AIR FILTER YOUR VEHICLE WILL EVER NEED.

Steeda calls it a Cold Air Intake on their website, but infact, it really is a short ram intake.
Steeda's new high flow air intake for the 2008 2.0L Ford Focus is 2 intakes in one all inclusive kit!
Our high flow cold air intake includes an insert allowing you to use it as a direct bolt on intake kit with no tuning required, or remove the insert to for even more airflow and combine it with a custom tune for the most powerful kit on the market for your Focus.
Steeda's cold air intake kit is also designed to use your stock air induction system, helping to take in cooler outside air!
Steeda's high flow intake also features a stainless steel heat shield and high flow cone style air filter for great airflow. Low intake air inlet temperatures can be accomplished with the heat shield and a provision to re-use your factory Ram air. Improved gas mileage will also be noticed!
We got an easy 7hp and 12ft/lbs of torque in mid range RPM's with peaks around 6hp and 5ft/lbs with the insert in place. More to be had with no insert and custom tuning.
To read Specifics and information directly related to the filters these 2 use, please check out

Next is the Fuel Economy thread:
All information was taken from:
Fuel Economy.Gov
Well with a certain and obvious (with gas prices) reason to talk about economy, I have decided to help out, and make a more singular source for the economy enthusiasts.
or MPG-Mongolars. lol
So here it goes!
All the information Sourced on this Post is from
, but feel free to add information, remember this is a discussion thread on Fuel economy, so please add all that you can!
Next I will List some helpful tips, on how to obtain and increase fuel mileage!
Drive Sensibly
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.20-$1.31/gallon
Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.
You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.30 per gallon for gas.
Observing the speed limit is also safer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.28-$0.91/gallon
Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%/100 lbs
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.04-$0.08/gallon
Avoid Excessive Idling
Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.
Use Cruise Control
Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.
Use Overdrive Gears
When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.
Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $3.96/gallon.
Next is a quick excerpt that can easily help in day to day life!
Combining errands into one trip saves you time and money. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longer multipurpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Trip planning ensures that traveling is done when the engine is warmed-up and efficient.
With a little planning, you can avoid retracing your route and reduce the distance you travel as well. You'll not only save fuel, but also reduce wear and tear on your car.
If you can stagger your work hours to avoid peak rush hours, you'll spend less time sitting in traffic and consume less fuel.
If you own more than one vehicle, drive the one that gets the best gas mileage whenever possible.
Consider telecommuting (working from home) if your employer permits it.
If possible, take advantage of carpools and ride-share programs. You can cut your weekly fuel costs in half and save wear on your car if you take turns driving with other commuters. Many urban areas allow vehicles with multiple passengers to use special High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Consider using public transit if it is available and convenient for you. The American Public Transit Transportation Association has links to information about public transportation in your state.
A roof rack or carrier provides additional cargo space and may allow you to meet your needs with a smaller car. However, a loaded roof rack can decrease your fuel economy by 5 percent. Reduce aerodynamic drag and improve your fuel economy by placing items inside the trunk whenever possible.
Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 lbs in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
And heres the section that we all love! Maintaining your vehicle properly!
Keep Your Engine Properly Tuned
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.
Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 4%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.16/gallon
Check & Replace Air Filters Regularly
Exempt except for 08+
Replacing a clogged air filter can improve your car's gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. Your car's air filter keeps impurities from damaging the inside of your engine. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter save gas, it will protect your engine.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 10%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.40/gallon
Keep Tires Properly Inflated
You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 3%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.12/gallon
Use the Recommended Grade of Motor Oil
You can improve your gas mileage by 1-2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. For example, using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by 1-2 percent. Using 5W-30 in an engine designed for 5W-20 can lower your gas mileage by 1-1.5 percent. Also, look for motor oil that says "Energy Conserving" on the API performance symbol to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.04-$0.08/gallon
Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $3.96/gallon.
Also! just because People advertise MPG this and MPG that! here are a couple quick facts about that marketing:
EPA tests are designed reflect "typical" driving conditions and driver behavior, but several factors can affect MPG significantly:
• How & Where You Drive
• Vehicle Condition & Maintenance
• Fuel Variations
• Vehicle Variations
• Engine Break-In
Therefore, the EPA ratings are a useful tool for comparing the fuel economies of different vehicles but may not accurately predict the average MPG you will get.
To find out what you can do to improve the fuel economy of your car, see Driving More Efficiently and Keeping Your Car in Shape.
and a quick question that I'm sure is on a few people's minds.
What's up, and down, with gasoline prices lately?
EIA analysis of the petroleum market points to the cost of crude oil as the main contributor to the large run up in the first half of 2008 and the recent decline in retail gasoline prices.
The cost of crude oil accounts for about 74% of the gasoline pump price (see graphic on gasoline price components). The cost of crude oil for U.S. refiners reached a record high in early summer 2008 (as did retail gasoline prices) due mainly to high worldwide oil demand relative to supply. Other contributing factors included political events and conflicts in some major oil producing regions, and other factors.
EIA believes that the high prices for petroleum products and relatively weak economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries has helped to reduce demand and prices for crude oil. This has contributed to the recent decline in crude oil and retail gasoline prices.
I hope this clears up some questions, But I mainly did this to help center all of the Mileage and fuel threads to one local area, so that way we don't all have to go through a lot of different threads!
Good Luck on saving fuel, and keep posting!

Live a Little
Break some conventional dieting rules and get healthy.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Live a Little!: Breaking the Rules Won't Break Your Health is a book written by Dr. Susan M. Love, Dr. Alice D. Domar and Leigh Ann Hirschman, and a foreward by Dr. Nancy Synderman. This book is available in eBook form as well as a hardcover.
Live a Little shows you how to break some of the set "rules" that have been long held for women and their health. Some of the suggestions include eating a brownie, blowing off a morning run, staying up late and not worrying about your health.
This book was written by a surgeon and a psychologist who were both concerned about women's health as it is covered in popular media. Dr. Love and Dr. Domar show that there is a sensible way to stay healthy and they expose some of the studies out there that are full of holes.
Overall, Live a Little is a guide for women who want to live healthy lives without constantly stressing over what they can and can't do to achieve that. Some of the major things that are covered are various health screenings, eating well, stress, sleep, exercise and healthy relationships.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Takes an in-depth look at popular health studies
- Provides an easier approach to healthy living
- Written by two doctors who specialize in women's health
- Addresses nutrition and exercise, among others
- Book contains contributions from other health experts
- Not a diet or weight loss plan
What you eat is just one of the important sections that are covered in Live a Little. You will learn what's truly healthy and what is mostly hype when it comes to your nutritional health. Eating the occasional brownie or order of French fries is actually encouraged because perfect health is not something anyone can obtain.
Rather than giving a list of forbidden foods or giving a detailed diet plan, Live a Little takes a more high level approach. Foods are discussed according to their cholesterol levels, fats versus sugars, emotional eating and many others. There is some coverage of healthy eating plans, but that is not the whole of what is covered in the nutrition section.EXERCISE
The exercise portion of the book covers a breakdown of more of the rules that have been set forth about exercise and the realities of those. The authors cover the extremes of some of the statements about exercise and other diseases and how frightening those can be. The accuracy of statements like "if you don't exercise, you will die from a heart attack and other diseases" simply vary depending on each person and their overall health.
The exercise section of Live a Little does include a fitness test that the author has come up with based on actual research. If readers of the book can walk a mile in 20 minutes, they are pretty fit. It's that simple. Recommendations are given for how you can get to that point, but the overall premise is that you don't have to stress about being able to run a marathon to be considered healthy.CONCLUSION
With all the information available on being healthy and the popularity of diets and exercise for people to lose weight, it's nice to have a guide to cut through the clutter. Live a Little offers women a credentialed resource that easily explains what types of things they can do to be healthy. Without going to extremes, this book, written by medical professionals, breaks down what you need to know in order to live as long as you can in the best health condition possible.Common Misspellings

[USA WOMEN] U.S. interim coach Jill Ellis was confirmed as the eighth head coach in U.S. women's national team history. Just three coaches were considered for the job. U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati said said Ellis' job description consists of one thing: win next year's Women's World Cup in Canada.
The other final candidates for the job of replacing Tom Sermanni were Swede Tony Gustavsson, head coach of UEFA Women's Champions League finalist Tyreso and a former U.S. women's assistant, and former U.S. women's coach Tony
"Jill has got all of the right credentials, both in terms of experience and how she relates to the players," said Gulati in a conference call with media after the
announcement of the hiring. "We've seen that first hand in the two times she has been with the senior team and with our youth teams. She gets top marks in all the work she has been doing on the
technical side with all of our programs."
U.S. women's head coaches:
Mike Ryan (1985)
Anson Dorrance (1986-1994)
Tony DiCicco (1994-1999)
April Heinrichs
Greg Ryan (2005-2007)
Pia Sundhage (2008-2011)
Sermanni (2012-2014)
Jill Ellis (2014-)
Ellis, 47, has served as interim head coach on two different occasions, including the two most
recent matches, and officially starts the job with an all-time record of 6-0-3. She has been involved with the national team program since in various capacities since 2000. She was most recently U.S.
Soccer's women's development director, a position she held since January 2011, overseeing three U.S. girls national teams.
She coached UCLA for 12 years, leading the Bruins to
eight Women's College Cups, including seven straight appearances (2003-09). Ellis was born in Portsmouth, England, and grew up in Northern Virginia, where her father, John Ellis, played a key role in soccer's development. She attended William & Mary, where she was a third-team All-American in 1987. In 1984, Ellis helped Virginia's Braddock
Road to the Under-19 club national championship.
Ellis withdrew her name for consideration during her first interim stint as national team coach. She said it was a "personal and timing
issue." Sermanni was picked from among six final candidates but was fired in April after losing just two games in 15-plus months on the job.
This time, Ellis said it "felt right" to seek
out the national team job. "My energy is there and the excitement of moving forward with this group is a huge honor," she added.
Ellis' first matches as the official head coach will
come on June 14 and 19 against France. Her first major tournament will come on home soil as U.S. Soccer has been selected to host the Concacaf qualifying tournament for the 2015 Women's
World Cup in Canada.
"I know the expectation, embrace
the expectation, know we want to win, and I know this group is capable of winning," Ellis said. "That is what we want. It is always the expectation."

Any time that you want to make sure that you are able to get money with bad credit, you should keep in mind that there are plenty of companies available who are willing to help you out. There are a number of companies that can provide you with cash loans for bad credit whenever you need them. With this in mind, make sure that you do all that you can in order to provide yourself with anything that you need, in order to keep your finances intact in the event of an emergency.
When thinking about these cash loans for bad credit, keep in mind that in most situations they are very temporary. These loans come in the form of short term cash loans or payday loans. As a result, they will typically have much higher interest rates than you are typically used to dealing with. Because of this, you will be able to always make sure that you are doing your due diligence and paying it back, so that you can be a good steward of this loan.
Make sure that any time that you are applying for one of these loans that you reach out to a company that will be glad to assist you. These companies are excellent at what they do and would be glad to keep you in a great position to help you out when you are in the middle of any sort of financial emergency. These setbacks do not have to last forever, so make sure that you take it upon yourself to always apply for one of these great loans, even if your credit score is not good. This can be one of the best things that you do for your finances.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Break-in time really depends on the boot.
I had a pair of Salomon Dialogue's that took me 5-6 days to break in, although there was nothing too sore in that time, just a bit snug around the ankles.
Then I got a pair of Burton Cartels this season, which had zero break in time. I was up at Whistler for almost 3 weeks, wore them new the first day, no problems at all.
By that time of year, probably a lot of the shops on the mountain there might be starting to run down a bit on stock, so there may not be a huge selection available.
|all boots break in and then need some adjustment, very general, the higher end the boot the more time to break-in. I do not heat mould 32's focus boas but it will take 6-8 days of full riding to get comfortable and then another 10-12 days and it will need to be fitted with bits of foam. A good snow boot fitter/pedo will be helpful but as you get better, you legs/feet toughen up...you will notice little adjustments that can be made and will help your comfort and performance. Take a look at the boot sticky for some ideas.
|Insoles and eventually professional orthotics are your best bet. Good othotics makers can tailor your inserts for boots.
I think break in time depends on the boots you get. Whether or not you heat mold them. I've had shop guys suggest ride the boots a bit before heat molding them. Though didn't ask why. I suppose that if you don't need to need mold them don't. In addition I think that if you get properly fitted boots.
I too, suffer from foot pain. I have gone through more boots than I can count on 2 hands in the past year and a half. I would suggest seeing a podiatrist. Ask if the podiatrist is familiar with snow sports. Not sure where you live, but I found a podiatrist in the Puget Sound that specializes in sports including snow sports. Though I would imagine most podiatrists could help you. He/she would probably be able to help you regardless. A simple consultation was a great help to me.
Buying boots at a resort? Break in time?
I'm heading out to Whistler in March and I'm thinking I need some better boots. I have flat feet and always struggled with foot pain. I'm hoping I can find someone out there who knows what they are doing and I can finally after all these years get a pain free ride.
I saw my doctor and he said to try some over the counter orthotics and schedule and appt. with the podiatrist. I just have a feeling this guy is going to have no clue when it comes to snow sports so I'm thinking about cancelling the appt.
My only concern is that if I get the boots on the mountain there will be 0 time for me to break them in. What do you guys think? Does heat molded inserts take care of the break in problem? I know it wont do much for the flat foot issue.

What a mo-ron.
This is a discussion on Glock 17 Torture LUBE test! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; You have to see this video to believe it. First torture test of it's kind I've seen. I think over lubrication is an understatement Glock ...
You have to see this video to believe it. First torture test of it's kind I've seen. I think over lubrication is an understatement
Glock 17 Torture. Too Much Lube Causes Failure? (Ultimate Glock torture lube test) - YouTube
The only real proof found in that video is that some guy has more time and money to waste than brains.
That is one reason I don't like buying used guns.
That guy is a moron.
How is he a moron? He obviously doesn't lube his gun like this......this was a torture test. What a bunch of negative nancy's. Very interesting video.
Glock Pocket Lint test. Concealed Pocket Carry Consideration. Ultimate Glock Torture test. - YouTube
Hah. Watch what the first round does.....hilarious.
Well some people just like to do things to see if it can be done. Not my cup of tea, but what the heck. It's his gun and his hobby.
I agree with the masses. These type of tests serve no purpose.
If you want to impress me with a true "torture" test, fire 2000 rounds without stopping or cleaning.
As Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin? He replied: A republic, if you can keep it.
Project: Break my P2000
He goes over 4000 rounds twice without cleaning or lube. That was pretty impressive.

Ferrari got an edge on the peloton by two seconds to seal the victory on an uphill finish ahead of Laurent Pichon (Bretagne Schuller) and Julien Simon (Saur Sojasun).
Earlier in the race, a group comprising of the Ukrainian Oleg Chuzhda (Accent Jobs - Verandas Willems), Mathieu Delarozière (La Pomme Marseille), Pierre Drancourt (Roubaix - Lille Metropole) and Russian Alexandr Efimkin (Team Type 1 - Sanofi) had built up a lead of as much as 8'40" but they were reeled in just under 60kms from the finish.

London's productivity could rise by £12.5 billion a year by 2030 with astute spending on transport projects such as Crossrail 2, according to the most detailed study of its kind.
The research by German engineering giant Siemens said the proposed express rail link from Surrey to Hertfordshire was pivotal to help boost London's economy and meet the demands of a booming population.
London was third behind New York (£15 billion) and Moscow (£14.5 billion) in the survey of 35 cities, which looked at the potential for strategic transport spending to boost productivity.
London scored well for its comprehensive Tube network and the congestion charge, but was criticised for overcrowding and a housing shortage that was creating longer journeys for commuters.
Speaking at the World Cities Summit in Singapore, Dr Roland Busch,
Dr Roland Busch, Siemens chief executive for Infrastructure & Cities said the worldwide urban population boom meant cities had to invest in transport and it was a "fairytale" to suggest there was insufficient funds.
Speaking at the World Cities Summit in Singapore, he said: "The study is about giving an idea of the benefits of proper investment infrastructure; its about stimulating discussion on how our cities need to invest. When im talking to mayors they ask me how they can justify spending billions on a metro line and this study is a first shot at helping them argue that case.
Its a fairytale to say that cities don't have the money to spend. They have to in order to feed the engine of economic growth. We are going for funding models where we are using banks to help get the financing and we also realise that a lot of pension funds that used to buy government bonds don't see the yield so they are looking for a long term investment with a decent return and low risk they end up with (transport)."
According to Credo, the study is the most detailed of its kind to look into the economic benefits of transport investment, and the cost of failing to spend.
It rated Copenhagen as the best-value public transport system with Singapore ranked first among smaller cities. Chris Molloy, the study's author, measured journey times, reliability, fares, network density and crowding to assess the impact on a city's productivity, although he admitted it was "not an exact science".
He said: "All cities can learn from the leading cities in their category in order to close the gap on their transport network's efficiency, reduce costs and increase productivity. The more efficient a city's transpirt network is, the more attractive it is to business and people."
But to achieve that boost in London, the mayor must find ways of funding transport improvements even beyond committed major projects such as the upgrade of the Tube and crossrail 1.
The mayor has championed Crossrail 2 as a means of complementing crossrail 1 - to open in 2018 - and absorb passengers arriving in London on HS2.
As well as rubber-stamping Crossrail 2, London needs to boost bus capacity the report said.
In the study, London scored well for the Tube's comprehensive network; the congestion charge. But a shortage of housing is forcing commuters into longer journeys while peak time overcrowding on tube and rail and high fares were pinpointed as weaknesses.

Little Prince Christian warms a nation's heart
Royal family ... Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik with
Christian after the ceremony
Photo: Reuters
CHRISTIAN Valdemar Henri John - it's going to be a hell of a squeeze to fit onto the royal pencil case, but the half-Australian future king of Denmark finally has a name.
He received the four-barrelled moniker late last night in snowy Copenhagen, surrounded by the cream of European royalty.
The fourth name - a nod to the baby prince's Australian family - was given in honour of Princess Mary's father, John Donaldson.
His mother, Princess Mary, formerly of Sandy Bay in Tasmania, designed much of the service and arrived looking beautiful in a china-blue jacket with cream trim, floaty pleated cream and blue skirt and cream heels.
Her hair was pulled into a smooth bun with a headpiece of cream fabric flowers.
The royal baby himself was in designer vintage - a 137-year-old gown of brussels lace that his father, Crown Prince Frederik, wore at his own christening in 1968.
The gown had to be let out slightly under the arms, as Prince Christian is two months older than his father was at that event.
Delighting Scandinavian punters who had wagered on the child crying during the ceremony (NordicBet offered 2-1 on this outcome), the baby prince was restless during Bishop Erik Norman Svendsen's address, but was placated when his mother offered him her little finger to suck.
He was christened, as tradition dictates in Denmark, from a solid silver christening font constructed for royal use in the 1600s.
Prince Frederik looked on with tears in his eyes.
The godparents ranged from Princess Victoria of Sweden to plain old Hamish Campbell, Princess Mary's flatmate from Sydney.
And though the temperature was below zero when the half-Australian heir to the Danish throne was christened last night, there was a definite Aussie whiff to the proceedings.
Eucalyptus leaves and agapanthus adorned the royal chapel and, among the traditional Danish music programmed for the reception, the royal guest list also heard Gundagai Groove.
The baby prince was attended by the godparents, including his uncle Prince Joachim, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, his father's friend Jeppe Handwerk and Mr Campbell, who was a surprise addition from Princess Mary's side.
Godmothers were his aunt Jane Stephens, as well as Princess Victoria of Sweden and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.
The chapel was decorated with grape hyacinths, anemones, jasmine and narcissi along with the Australian floral imports.
Princess Mary's bridesmaid and best friend Amber Petty was in attendance, as was her father and stepmother Susan Moody.
The future Christian XI is expected to be informally known as "Chris" or "Kette".
After the ceremony, Prince Christian immediately fell asleep, while both his parents appeared close to tears as the music played.
The couple left the church in a black Bentley and were surrounded by cameras as they entered the reception.
Princess Mary, exercising her Danish language skills, told the Danish media her nickname for the child was "Lillemand", "little man" in Danish.Source: The Sun-Herald

The short lived winter months are coming to an end and all hail summers is approaching really quickly. Well as we embark from the colder months to the hot ones, it is very important to alter our clothing in the same respect. To make it easier for you to opt for summer clothing we have listed down some options that'll help you switch from one climatic condition to another in style.
Jacket to light blazer
Don't go with the word 'blazer' because you might take it for the winter months. However, it is the fabric that plays a pivotal part here. In order to keep it stylish, we have swapped the heavy woolen jackets with lightweight fabrics like linen and chambray. It will not be just plain breathable or maintain your cool; it will add versatility to your attire.
Heavy denims to summery chinos
Lowers or trousers in an essential men's clothing article 24*7*12. It is just that you have to adapt to the climatic conditions in order keep it comfortable and splendid down there. Chinos are available for both cold as well as warmer seasons because men prefer to keep it classy down there. Hence, opt for tailored chinos in cotton- and linen-blends that are smarter; they help take any off-duty outfit up a notch instantly. Opt for lighter colors like beige and white or the classics like navy and gray.
Leather boots to suede styles
Why did I not mention any specific alternative men's footwear style in the heading? The reason here is I, myself was a little confused with the gushing number of options available for men. From suede derbies, we can make a selection all the way to boat shoes, leather sandals, woven slip on and many others. What matters here is, that your feet should be able to breathe well in order to avoid situations like various infections (due to sweat).
Long sleeves Oxford shirt to short sleeves shirt
Whether you call it short sleeves or half sleeves, it means the same. The point of focus here is that you must adapt to the hotter months by trimming down the length of the clothes. You can continue to wear white Oxford shirt to your office, but the weather doesn't allow that. Hence, go for voguish short sleeve shirts that'll magnify your style quotient. Cotton-blend, chambray and linen shirts in lighter shades of beige or off-white are the most appropriate for high summer, with their neutral shade also allowing you to sub them straight into any of your current looks.
Briefs/boxer briefs to thongs/jockstraps
Why is men's underwear even mentioned here, you must think? Aye! Winters call for warmth to your most sensitive popliteal whereas; summer demands for something that is breathable, comfortable and lets you feel summery down there. Hence, it would be a wise decision to opt for sexy underwear styles such as male thongs or jockstrap underwear for men. They offer support, exposure and just what you need for the heat.
These substitutes or you call them alternatives will lead you to a stylish and comfortable summer path. Keep looking stylish by the choosing the right clothes. For men's underwear, check out the new arrivals range at mensuas.com.

Walgreen Co. (NYSE:WAG) is the nation's second largest pharmacy chain that needs no introduction. What you may not know is that it operates 8,683 locations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The company has 8,217 drugstores nationwide, 120 more than at this time a year ago. Besides pharmacy services, Walgreens also operates worksite health and wellness centers, infusion and respiratory services facilities, specialty pharmacies, and mail service facilities.
Its Take Care Health Systems subsidiary manages more than 700 in-store convenient care clinics and worksite health and wellness centers. Walgreens' e-commerce business includes Walgreens.com, Drugstore.com, Beauty.com, SkinStore.com and VisionDirect.com. The stock caught my eye on Tuesday, as it is down 3 percent on the back of disappointing earnings. The question is should we take advantage of the small selloff and do some buying, or should we abandon ship and take profits? To address this issue, let's walk through the important aspects of the quarter.
The first thing you need to know is that third-quarter sales were up year over year. In fact, they increased 5.9 percent compared with the prior-year quarter to $19.4 billion. Comparable store sales were also up. They increased 2.2 percent in the third quarter, while customer traffic in comparable stores decreased 0.7 percent. Despite reduced customers, the average basket size per customer increased 2.9 percent. The Walgreens Balance Rewards loyalty program hit a new milestone, as well.

A guide to summer fun has been produced to give families the lowdown on things to do in Aldershot and Farnborough during the school holidays.
The guide, produced by Rushmoor Borough Council, contains information on holiday play schemes as well as low cost and free things to do for young people aged three to 19 from sports to art, craft, drama and music.
Among the sporting activities featured in the guide are the one-day activity ski camps at Alpine Snowsports in Aldershot for £30, which includes skiing, donutting and snowboarding.
Already proving popular are the Soccer @ Six weekly football coaching sessions held in selected parks across Aldershot and Farnborough until August 29. Sessions cost £3 and are run by the Aldershot Town Football club Community Trust for boys and girls of any skill level from five to 14.
Young people aged 16 and under can also enjoy swimming at Farnborough Leisure Centre and Aldershot Pools (indoor) for £1 from July 24 until September 1.
For children who like arts and craft or drama and music, there are a host of workshops at the Princes Hall in Aldershot over the holidays, including opportunities to learn a play or dance in a day and even the chance to find out what it's like to work backstage at the theatre at a technical workshop.
There is also willow weaving, pottery, music and more at the West End Centre's Summer Westival from August 1 to 3.
Councillor Sue Carter, cabinet member for leisure and youth, said: "This free guide is guaranteed to deal with summer holiday cries of 'I'm bored'.
"Farnborough and Aldershot have some wonderful leisure facilities – there aren't many places where you can be at a beach one day (the lido) and on a mountain (Alpine Snowsports) the next."
The Wellington Centre also has a series of activities going on this summer, including Punch and Judy shows from midday-2pm and free puppet-making from 11am-1pm in the lower mall on July 31.
A free loom band workshop on the upper mall will take place on August 5 with biscuit-making on August 7, both from 11am-1pm.
Other activities are a toddlers' story time session on August 12 and 27, Teddy Bear's Picnic on August 14, uniform and rifle displays from Aldershot Military Museum on August 20, a Showshack Theatre School showcase on August 30 and face-painting on various days.

Mayhem # 1205375
About MeI am currently a BA Photographic Arts student at the University of Westminster. I love photography but seriously need more practice!
I enjoy most types of photography but am limited with my models and experience at the moment. My favourite types of photography are portrait, glamour, documentary, art, artistic nudes, fetish, fashion (alternative mainly) and staged images but many other types interest me but I have not had the chance to practice them much.
In the future I would like to teach photography to others as well as continue to display in galleries and have my work published in books and magazines. (when I have had enough experience)
I would like to use this site to contact models who want to build their portfolios: will do TFP or TFCD.
Contact me if you are a model in need of a shoot - specific or not- and photographers who would like to pair up for a shoot to bounce ideas off each other - or make up artists looking to show their work - don't mind just wanna get experience - especially over summer whilst I am not at uni - contact: email@example.com

Here is Version 3.0:

This works because Rule has the SequenceHold attribute.i

Data Protection F.A.Q
Why does PDSA ask for my date of birth?
Occasionally we need birth dates to validate certain legal requirements such as sending lottery tickets (where the minimum age is 16 years) or where supporters are signing up online to children's clubs such as Pet Protectors.
However, age is an important variable in selecting the most appropriate communication for you to receive, saving un-necessary fundraising costs. We may ask supporters to provide date of birth information voluntarily to help improve the efficiency of our marketing communications. Where you don't want to provide full date of birth you can still help by provided just year of birth.
Why does PDSA ask for my telephone number?
In many situations it is very convenient for our supporters to talk to us on the telephone. We ask for your telephone number so we can deal with your specific requests for information or to handle administration issues promptly. If you enter your telephone number on this web site, or on any direct marketing material, we will assume that you are happy to receive a telephone call about any enquiries or administration issues.
There are also times when we would like to use the telephone talk to you about other fundraising opportunities or even to tell you about discounts and product offers we may have negotiated. We must ask for your express consent to use your telephone number in this way. If you give us permission then we can call you with marketing communications without reference to the telephone preference service.
How do I stop receiving marketing communications from PDSA?
The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to stop any marketing communications that you no longer wish to receive. You can choose stop all marketing communications from PDSA, or you can select the types fundraising communications you are interested in receiving. If you wish to amend, or stop further marketing communications from PDSA then simply write to PDSA, Whitechapel Way Telford, TF2 9PQ, or call our Supporter Care team during normal business hours on 0800 0199 166 explaining your contact preferences

Linux helps Navy keep high-tech weapon system updated
General-purpose computing systems (in other words: personal computers and workstations) could be useful within a variety of control systems as human machine interface (HMI) platforms, network interface systems and even host computers, but many engineers hesitate to incorporate them because of the many stability and security issues surrounding the dominant PC operating system, Microsoft Windows XP. Linux provides an open-source alternative that avoids these Microsoft-related issues. As more engineers become acquainted with Linux, and Linux vendors make their implementations easier to use, PCs running Linux OS have begun to appear in many mission-critical applications.
For example, Real-Time Innovations (RTI) and Concurrent Computer Corp . have partnered to provide RTI's standards-based real-time data distribution middleware with Concurrent's RedHawk Linux in support of the U.S. Navy's Aegis Open Architecture program.
Able to simultaneously fight battles on several fronts (air, surface, subsurface, and strike), the AEGIS weapon system is the most capable surface launched missile system the Navy has ever put to sea. It is said to be capable of defeating an extremely wide range of targets from wave top to directly overhead. AEGIS is extremely useful against anti-ship cruise missiles and manned aircraft flying in all speed ranges from subsonic to supersonic.
The Navy conceived Aegis Open Architecture to be the foundation for modernizing Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers. The Navy expects open architecture to make it easier to incorporate software and hardware updates into its Aegis systems, enabling them to be maintained at the highest level of capability while employing low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies.
Concurrent's RedHawk Linux provides fast response to external events, optimized interprocess communication, and high I/O throughput needed for time-critical applications. The operating system has gained acceptance as a leading real-time Linux platform for high-performance applications, guaranteeing response on a dedicated processor to an external event in less than 30 microseconds.
RTI Data Distribution Service provides a rich publish/subscribe middleware environment that complies with the Object Management Group's (OMG's) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) standard. Update distribution with this service significantly reduces time required to implement communication within a distributed real-time system while providing a more scalable, maintainable and manageable infrastructure.

After a mysterious mist envelops a small New England town, a group of locals trapped in a supermarket must battle a siege of otherworldly creatures . . . and the fears that threaten to tear them apart.
©1985 Stephen King; (P)2009 Hodder & Stoughton
I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry.
"A great short story but a sub par narrator"
I have read this story before and was looking forward to the audio version. Not a fan. Perhaps the narrator needed a little more time to get into the story. I don't know but I was surprised at how the narrator made this story boring.
"You cant even hear this properly"
NO ONE... very low quality recording
yes, its the recording thats the problem not the story.
if you could her it
"Missed opportunity"
I'm a huge fan of King but this left me disappointed. The audio is presented with a whole bunch of sound effects and voices panned in and out to make it seem like you are there.
The reality is that they should have just been faithful to the source material and presented it like a normal audiobook.
King's writing is so good it doesn't need gimmicks like this. The strange audio presentation is distracting and it doesn't add anything to the experience.
Maybe some people who prefer movies/find books too slow or something might find it to their taste, but if you don't like books, why are you on Audible.
loved it have seen movie too but really enjoyed dramatisations. wish there were more of these.
This is staged as a performance with amazing sound effects. In reality when played on a car stereo most of the dialogue waqs unitelligable due to accents and production with occasional well ground out phrases. " what, do you mean the secret government facility?, something strange going on, we're getting out of here"
Which is what I did. The book is probably good.

"The Toro Company completed a record year with new highs for revenues, operating earnings and earnings per share," said Michael J. Hoffman, Toro's chairman and chief executive officer. "We are particularly excited to have crossed over the $2 billion revenue milestone for the first time in the company's history, a timely accomplishment as we head down the home stretch to our Centennial in July 2014. In addition, we remain focused on returning value to our shareholders, as demonstrated by the increase in both our annual dividend guideline and quarterly cash dividend."
