I also disagree with the reviewer complaining about how awkward it is to carry the package. It is no bigger or heavier, than a SOF kayak. Plus it can be set up in 20 minutes (I am LAZY) and took apart in 15, including wiping it with scott-towels.
The kayak feels bug one on water. It is not affected much by the wind, and tracking is nice with the included rudder down. Load capacity is HUGE.
Speed - this is the problem I find that it is essential to inflate the floor first. Inflate it to the maximum allowed pressure (IE until the release valve lets the air out). This way, you will get rid of the wrinkles in the bow. Loading the front also helps a great deal, otherwise you will "cut" the water with the flat bottom.
If I move 4 inches forward, and paddle constantly and determined, I can get 5 mph out of this kayak. That's decent in the world of recreational kayaks, but pretty slow for a sea kayak. It is a bit faster than a Dimension River Runner R5 I also have.
I give it a 9 because I got is so cheap.

The bottom line is if you paddle in a group with other hardshells or want to go somewhere fast this boat is not for you. If you don't mind that you travel slowly and you are able to lug a 60 # ungainly object around and you want a boat that is very unlikely to capsize and you don't mind to pay more for that privilege then you would for a decent hardshell this boat is for you.

For someone who doesn't plan on traveling great distances this is an awesome boat to get you out on the water. If you plan on paddling with friends who have hardshell kayaks and are going from point A-->B, you'll find yourself getting frustrated. Unfortunately this boat didn't work out for me and back to REI it went. I don't want to be too negative on it though, I do think it's a great boat for the right activity.

I bought the Seaker because I wanted to travel with my kayaks and I did not have the $5,000.00 or $6,000.00 it was going to cost me for a world class folder. I bought my boats from a store that would accept a return in case I didn't like the boats. I was nervous making the purchase without having actually tried the boats first. What I did do first was my research. Time and time again Innova boats were written up doing all the crazy stuff I wanted to do in a boat but couldn't always do with a plastic or glass boat or the folder I could never quite seem to be able conscience spending 5 to 6K to purchase. I enjoy coastal paddling and training for expedition sea kayaking. I have twice paddled to the Los Coronado Islands in kayaks, once from Mexico and once from San Diego Bay.
Knowing what I know now from experiencing Innova boats first hand, I wish I had been using my Seaker from Innova all along. I have played a lot in my sea kayaks, sit on tops, and inflatables and I have also been in serious trouble in kayaks where if I had not been rescued at sea once I would not be here now to write this review. The most important thing next to your training (classes, lessons, time on the water, skills practice) is your gear. Use good gear and have good training, good things happen. Use gear that isn't truly expedition ready and it can cost you big.
I routinely take my Seaker out when the Pacific is letting her hair down and the winds and waves are up. I have watched this boat punch through on-coming surf and dance on 3' to 5' haystacks on the Pacific while fighting currents of 2 mph or more with heavy chop and swell. This is my favorite heavy weather boat. My two favorite memories in the Seaker to date are when both ends of my boat were out of the water riding the rim of a 8' or better swell and when the surf line suddenly shifted and I got to watch a wave form up less than five feet off the WRONG side of my kayak. The boat felt so stable I felt like I could have played cards on the deck of the boat or sat back and had my lunch while watching the waves. The wave that formed and broke next to the Seaker took only a gentle brace and the swell took nothing more than a deep breath to enjoy the ride. I have loaded this boat with gear and supplies and found it to be a very sweet ride in the rough stuff. It is good in flat water too but it really shines for stabilty and sheer ability to enjoy the ride when the wind and the waves are up.
One thing I enjoy doing a lot of is paddling kayak support for long distance swimmers who are training for competitive events and channel crossings like the Catalina channel. On one recent training swim the wind was up and the chop was approaching 2 feet in addition to surf that was beginning to alternately build and dump on the beach. I was in too much of a hurry and forgot to snap on my spray skirt. I came through the surf DRY!!! Okay, it wasn't that big (less than 4 feet) but OPEN COCKPIT AND DRY??? If I had not been in the boat I would not have believed it. When I began paddling for my swimmer, I had to go beam to (side ways) to a two foot chop with about a 3 to 5 second interval and still an open cockpit. NO WATER IN THE BOAT PERIOD. The seaker was so stable that after a bit of paddling, I was able to paddle within a few feet of the swimmer even in the chop and still not be worried about running into the swimmer as they swam.
I have yet to get wet in the Seaker when I wasn't playing around with or practicing recovery with the Seaker. When I did get wet was when after a few rounds in the surf I got careless. Even then, the Seaker took good care of me. One of the worst things that can happen in a boat is to come in shallow in the surf and then get knocked over facing the beach. Well, it finally happened to me and thank you God that I was in the Seaker. When I wasn't paying attention (bad move on my part), I got surfed backwards in the shallows and chose the wrong brace. I flipped in shallow water facing the beach but because the Seaker is inflatable and flexible, the 60 lbs of boat plus me plus gear NEVER slammed me into the sand. I was able to come up flat to the submerged deck of the Seaker, wet exit, and stand up without a scratch.
Oh, the best part of paddling the Seaker generally is its combination of comfort, speed, and stability. During that training swim, the air temp was in the low fifties, the water temp was 56 F, and the wind was approaching 15 to 20 mph with a storm front moving in. I was WARM and DRY. Also, come summer time, the boat is nice and cool even when the air is 80 to 90, the spray skirt is on, and there is little to no wind. The contact between the inflatable floor and side tubes and the sea is your layer of insulation in the winter and your built in air conditioner in the summer time.
I could rave about how I never have owned a better built or more able boat. I could tell you how you could rig the Seaker with just about every piece of sea kayaking gear imaginable and yet retain speed and load capacity. I could even go on about the rocks, the rebarb, and the boats I've bounced the Seaker off of and have never been able to find a scratch on it yet. I wanted to share what fun these boats are most of all. Even though you can setup the boat in under 15 minutes which is almost 2 hours less than setting up a Klepper. I know. The first time a friend with a Klepper saw me setup the Seaker, he couldn't stop bragging on the boat or nagging on how long it took to set up the Klepper he and his wife loved so much. Yeah and the boats are quick. While they won't beat a glass boat for speed, few things beat being able to kayak in almost anything and to be able to land on almost anything you could stand on.
In short, if you want an expedition boat to last a life time buy an Innova Seaker and spend your time learning the boat. It is worth every penny and every minute. Like with any kayak, dress for immersion and don't go off shore until you've practiced your rescue and recovery skills. Every boat is different. The Seaker will take excellent care of you and bring you home with a lot of fond memories.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
hello there !!
the first thing and it is a quick test is to get the car running and take a cup of water and pour the water on the ignition coil and see if it dies first!!
if it does not stall then have the vehicle scanned for codes in the ecm to see if you have a crankshaft or camshaft sensor codes
please let me know
not accepting answer as i have already stated i have fitted new coil so answer is not appropriate
do not accept answer as i already stated i have fitted new coil
i understand it is a new coil but i have seen new coils been defective !!! that is why i asked to perform that test first to see if that acts up and dies!
have you had the ecu scanned for codes because if the first test i asked to do does not react then the ecu needs to be check to see if there is any codes pertaining to the crank or cam sensor on the vehicle!

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

The Manchester United-bound striker Manucho scored twice to help Angola come from behind to earn a surprise 3-1 win over Senegal in Tamale yesterday.
Abdoulaye Faye's header after 20 minutes had given Senegal a first-half lead but Manucho headed in an equaliser five minutes after the restart and put Angola ahead following a goalmouth scramble midway through the second half. Flavio's header in the 77th minute made sure of victory, leaving Angola top of Group D with four points from two games while Senegal, with only one, are in danger of an unexpected early exit.
Several Namibia players were offered money to throw today's match against Guinea, the president of the country's football association has said. John Muinjo admitted players were offered £15,000 each by a syndicate to lose the game, which takes place in Sekondi today. It is the second match-fixing claim to hit the tournament after Benin's coach, Reinhard Fabisch, revealed last Thursday that he was approached by a man with a similar offer before his side's game against Mali.
Muinjo said several players had been approached, adding: "These players then came up to us as members of their management ... We had a meeting amongst us and then contacted CAF [Confederation of African Football] explaining to them what had happened. They sent someone over to the hotel to speak to the players and question them about the issue."
Kolo Touré has been ruled out of Ivory Coast's final group match against Mali tomorrow. The Arsenal captain limped out of his side's win over Benin last Friday and officials have confirmed that he has a groin injury. Reports have suggested Touré has suffered a muscle tear, although it is not yet known how severe the problem is.
The defending champions Egypt maintained their prolific scoring form with a 3-0 win over Sudan in Group C on Saturday. Hosni Abd Rabou's twice-taken penalty in the 28th minute put them in front in Kumasi before Mohamed Aboutrika scored twice in a five-minute spell late in the game. Aboutrika, however, earned a rebuke from the CAF for displaying a t-shirt with the slogan "Sympathy with Gaza" as he celebrated his first goal. The midfielder was booked for the gesture.

The battle for supremacy among transportation apps is getting more personal.
Uber is underway with a social-media ad campaign that includes a Facebook newsfeed ad taking aim at Lyft, the ride-sharing service distinguished by fuzzy pink mustaches that drivers affix to the front of their cars or on their dashboards.
The ad depicts a middle-aged man and woman bumping fists — which Lyft drivers are encouraged to do with their passengers — with the copy "Don't pay a premium to fist bump."
Uber's spokesman declined to comment on the reach of the Facebook ads or the geographies they're targeted to, or whether they would be distributed on other social channels.
It's not the first time Uber — which got off the ground offering black cars, dispatched from private car companies — has taken aim at Lyft in advertising. Last May, billboards cropped up in San Francisco urging Lyft drivers to "shave the stache." It encouraged them sign up to drive for UberX, the company's lower-cost ride-sharing service staffed by non-professional drivers in their own cars, in the vein of Lyft and another competitor, Sidecar.
The company is pushing hard to attract more customers to UberX. It announced earlier this month that it was cutting prices in 16 out of 24 cities where UberX is available, and by as much as 15 to 34% in Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Orange County.
It's also trying to hire away Lyft drivers, offering $50 gas cards if they stop by Uber's headquarters in San Francisco and a signing bonus to join UberX, according to TechCrunch.
While a lengthy comment thread under Uber's Lyft-aimed Facebook ad drew plenty of Uber fans, some Lyft loyalists were outspoken in their defense of the brand. Some pointed to the irony that the ad promised lower prices on Uber in light of the company's well documented policy of implementing surge pricing during high-demand times.
One such comment reads, "Ask people that used Uber on New Years what's more expensive."
Asked what he thought of Uber's ad strategy, Lyft's president John Zimmer gave this statement: "We're focused on the Lyft community and providing our community members with the best possible experience at the best possible price."

Bristol-based TLT Solicitors has swallowed £4m-turnover London shipping firm Constant & Constant, increasing TLT's partnership by 25 per cent and giving the firm its first office outside the UK.
Fifteen-partner Constant is based in London's Sea Containers House, also the home of TLT's London outfit, and has a second office in Greek shipping centre Piraeus.
This is TLT's second merger since it launched in London, the first of which being the tie-up with £3m corporate boutique Lawrence Jones two years ago (The Lawyer, 11 April 2005).
TLT managing partner David Pester said: "We targeted Constant & Constant as it's a strong commercial firm whose work in specialist banking and finance complements our own practice.
"It also brings additional resource in real estate, as well as further expertise in commercial trade, shipping, logistics and transport.
"It's also extremely good fortune that we're in the same building – we can increase our London infrastructure overnight without significant disruption."
However, the merger mirrors the Lawrence Jones tie-up in that none of the group will immediately join the merged firm's equity tier. The newly merged firm will operate under the TLT name and be headed by Pester.
Constant senior partner Richard Wilson said: "The merger will provide us with the resource not only to grow our traditional maritime practice, but also to enhance our commercial, property and private client business, [which will] enable us to provide the range of legal services that our clients demand of us in a more complex legal world."

We recently received a question from a user about Flex Builder security sandbox settings. I thought the answer to this question would be of general interest.
Question: In Flex Builder 2, the security sandbox settings for both debug mode and release mode was local-trusted. In Flex Builder 3, why is release mode now local-with-network?
Short Answer: Whether a given SWF, when run locally in a non-trusted location, is local-with-filesystem or local-with-network is a compilation setting. This setting is stored as a flag in the SWF header and is the only compiler flag. The default is local-with-network and has not changed in Flex Builder 3.
What is new with Flex Builder 3 is that we no longer put the release SWF inside the trusted debug output folder by default. The advantage to the developer is that the release SWF will run in the same security sandbox in which it will be deployed. Thus you get accurate application behavior instead of the more permissive local-trusted, which is only available to the developer.
Detailed Answer: In Flex Builder 2 we put the release SWF alongside the debug SWF, which was inside an output folder that we configured the flash player to trust for the following reason:
You could click, debug, and launch your application and have it access network services without first configuring the project to host the SWF on a web server (and thus have to launch it with a proper http:// URL). Basically, you can launch your application from the file system using file:/// URLs.
The problem with this approach is that when testing the release SWF, even if you edited the launch URLs to use http://, you would be running the application out of local-trusted instead of the actual deployment sandbox (remote).
There are other problems with this arrangement, such as facilitating the accidental deployment of both debug and release SWFs in the output folder.
So, for Flex Builder 3 we separated the notion of the Run button from the release SWF. The Run button merely launches the debug-capable SWF with debugging turned off. The Export Release Wizard creates the actual release SWF. Flex Builder 3 encourages you to put the release SWF somewhere other than your debug output folder. Thus, to test the release version, you must launch and test it as an end user would using a browser and web server (that is, unless you actually want the end user to try to run it locally).
Note: Use the custom compiler option,
use-network=false, if you want to override the Flex Builder default compiler option. This would change the settings to local-with-filesystem.

Prom flyer by Michelle Cavigliano.
Do you like partying with other vegans and playing fancy dress and shouting in the street about how vegan you are? This is your weekend!
Kick things off Friday (May 13) night with the Veggie Prom at Public Assembly (in Williamsburg, where Galapagos used to be). There will be a dance-off, King and Queen elections, "super cheesy" photo backdrops, vegan white russians, the works. And you don't even need to bring a date! Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
Saturday (May 14) night, the generous-of-pocket (or just well-connected) and haughty-of-wardrobe will be at Cipriani Wall Street for the Farm Sanctuary 25th Anniversary Gala.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! I read all of your comments and it is one of the main reasons I keep posting. My family and I moved to Anchorage, Alaska this summer (2009) from Orlando, Florida. My photos have improved with the help of observing the great pictures that you have all posted and by the ratings that you have given my photos. I feel fortunate to have found this site and to be part of this great community. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. John Muir

Gopinath, R (1990) Wall interference studies (Closing Report Apr. 1983 - Jun. 1989). Technical Report. National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore, India.Full text not available from this repository.
A closing report on the activity, Wall Interference Studies, is presented. Codes were developed to assess wall interference both for 2-D and 3-D cases, where the test section is ventilated, and validated. TSFOIL code was adapted for operation on the Univac computer. Instrumentation was developed for measuring the pressures on a control surface in the 1.2 m facility and once this is installed in the above facility, correcting the data from it for wall interference effects should be a routine affair.

Fox Home Entertainment sent me the new Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever DVD to review on my dad blog. My kids have seen Strawberry Shortcake before, but this was the first time for me. The Strawberry Shortcake episodes on the DVD are very girly, but I still enjoyed watching them. So did my two boys — especially my toddler. He's at the age when he's has not been brain-washed into what movies and toys are considered girls movies and toys. Or maybe he just doesn't care. Anyway, Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever is available now on DVD. It has a list price of $14.98, but you can currently purchase it for $9.99 on Amazon.
Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever DVD features four Berry Bitty Adventures and a couple of bonus features. It's about 96 minutes.
Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever DVD
Episode 1
In this episode, everyone is excited about Berry Bitty Buggy Derby, which is a very formal event. Blueberry Muffin wants everyone to behave properly, but she soon becomes too obsessed with good manners.
Episode 2
In episode two, Plum Puddin' doesn't get a club pin. When she asks why, the Ladybug Twins tell her it's because she has to pass some tests first.
Episode 3
In this episode, Lemon Meringue and Rasberry Torte are in charge of a makeover for the playground. But they can't agree on what the playground should be like.
Episode 4
In episode four, the post office is short-handed so Strawberry Shortcake volunteers to deliver a birthday package so it won't be late.

Further to a post last week regarding building greater customer satisfaction by providing accessories (here), Samsung have confirmed to us that they are no longer producing a popular keyboard dock for a range of their tablets.
Samsung have decided to discontinue the popular keyboard dock for the Galaxy Note 10.1, Tab 2 7.0 & 10 due to supply issues.
Here are Clove we have had a number of customers waiting for us to supply these docks, many of whom had been waiting since November, when stock was last available.
It has not been disclosed as to what 'supply' issues Samsung are having, but from our knowledge there is nothing particularly rare or sought after within these docks; unless we are missing something?!
Samsung are intending to replace these all in one docks with a Bluetooth keyboard and a tablet stand (shown here) subsequently meaning 2 accessories rather than one and inevitably a higher cost and not exactly practical for mobile computing.
We have been provided a part code and indicative price for the keyboard, but no images, description or dimensions. It sounds crazy but this is the truth.
We find this extremely disappointing and believe a company the size of Samsung should be able to deliver such an accessory, especially as over the Christmas period there was a massive push on tablets with a cashback offer up to £50 and by all accounts this was very successful for Samsung.
Those customers who have invested in Samsung and bought one of their tablets have now been limited by not having the keyboard dock. Whilst not all customers would want the dock, for professional users this was a very practical solution.
Many customers would no doubt be happy to wait to a point, providing they were updated, but as with many accessories from Samsung there seem to be infinite delays. Samsung has had great success over recent months and it seems they are putting more effort into getting handsets out than getting the accessories that existing and new customers want.
Thankfully there are other options available, such as a case that you can manipulate into a stand and too protect the tablet, but for many this are not ideal options.
Many are investing their hard earned money into these premium products and they are rewarded with complicated cashback procedures and poor support in terms of accessories.

McConnell Urges DOD To Continue To Make Disposal Of Chemical Weapons At Blue Grass Army Depot A Top Priority
from the Office of Senator Mitch McConnell
Monday, June 26, 2006
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell announced today that an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill that he cosponsored passed the full Senate. The amendment exhorts the Department of Defense to continue to make chemical weapons disposal a top priority in the years to come. It also calls on the Department to provide Congress with annual updates on the disposal schedule at each chemical demilitarization site.
In early April, DOD notified Congress that it could not meet the 2012 Chemical Weapons Convention deadline to dispose of all the chemical agents stored at the chemical demilitarization sites nationwide. This amendment expresses the strong view of the Senate that the Department should make every effort to dispose of these lethal chemical agents by the 2012 deadline or as soon as possible thereafter.
"I want DOD to know that I will continue to keep a close eye on its chemical weapons disposal efforts," said Senator McConnell. "The people of Madison County can rest assured that my goal remains the same and that is to have the chemical agents at the Blue Grass Army Depot disposed of as safely and efficiently as possible."

Smoked Fish Cakes with Root-Vegetable Slaw
Any kind of smoked fish works well for chef Kerry Sear's fried cakes. He uses cod, which comes from Alaska and is widely available in the Pacific Northwest. You could also use trout or salmon.
Slideshow: Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Servings: 8 FIRST-COURSE SERVINGS
- 1/2 cup julienned celery root
- 1/2 cup julienned carrot
- 1/2 cup julienned parsnip
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 large baking potatoes
- 1 pound skinless, boneless smoked fish, flaked
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped chives
- 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
- Canola oil, for frying
- Onion Mustard Sauce, for serving
How to make this recipe
In a medium bowl, combine the celery root, carrot and parsnip. Add the vinegar and parsley, season with salt and pepper and toss well.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Roast the potatoes for about 35 minutes, or until tender. Let cool slightly, then peel the potatoes and pass them through a ricer or coarse sieve. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, smoked fish, eggs, butter, chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 16 patties.
Lower the oven temperature to 300°. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate. Dredge the fish cakes in the bread crumbs and tap off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of canola oil until almost smoking. Fry the fish cakes in batches over moderately high heat until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn the fish cakes, lower the heat to moderate and cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven while you fry the rest of the cakes.
Spoon the Onion Mustard Sauce onto 8 plates. Set 2 fish cakes in the sauce on each plate, spoon the root-vegetable slaw on top and serve.
Make Ahead
The uncooked fish cakes can be refrigerated overnight.
Suggested Pairing
A restrained Washington State Sémillon would be the perfect way to match the smoky flavor of these fish cakes.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Week Day 2: "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" And the Importance of "Branding"
Whether consciously or not, rappers have understood the concept of branding since the on-and-on-to-the-break-of-dawn days. You can listen to everything from the "The Breaks" to "Crank That" and figure out pretty quickly that they were performed by Kurtis Blow and an autistic 4th Grader with a rudimentary understanding of Pro Tools, respectively. You don't see that sort of self-promotion in other genres. Thom Yorke doesn't ad-lib "Radiohead, up in this bitch!" in the middle of "Paranoid Android." Jimi Hendrix never wrote hooks like "J-I-M-I/How do you stay fly" Though Benny Goodman once write a pithy couplet big-upping the fact that he was the"Good-Man."
The thing is, it's good business sense. You can't buy someone's music if you don't know who they are and logically, you'll increase your notoriety the most by repeating your name 15-plus times in the course of a three minute song. Of course today, most every pop star is a brand, with their own clothing line, fragrance, and unique sexually transmitted disease. But rappers have been doing this sort of stuff forever and out of the thousands of mostly worthless odes to themselves, "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" is one of the greatest, every bit as as good as "Nobody Beats the Biz," "Who Am I (What's My Name)" and "Ice Ice Baby." (relax, it's a joke.)
Yet it takes on an added resonance with its video, one of the most gully affairs ever filmed that doesn't involve someone named Freekey Zeekey. Shot in '94, it's a bare-bones ode to Bone Thugs' Cleveland ghetto (I'd write "C-Town" ghetto, but I'm probably a bit too white to get away with that). The video tells you everything you ever needed to know about Bone Thugs. Who are they? Thuggish. What else are they? Ruggish. What does ruggish mean? Who cares? (though I always fancied it to be a combination of sluggish and rugged.) Either way, the song's awesome. The sound of five innovators who discovered that the only way to put a fresh spin on Eazy E's hood nihilism was to do speed-rapped thug gospel, with a touch of barbershop. They were like the B-Sharps, but much higher.

"Thuggish Ruggish Bone" is the sort of video you'd never see today, with practically every major label rapper concerned with depicting their faux-billionaire life style. By contrast, "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" is straight-up grimy, depicting Cleveland as somewhere between Major League and a lower rung of the Inferno (if you squint hard enough you can see Willie Mays Hayes in one of the group shots). Murky gray Cleveland freeways melt into stark urban decay and we see grainy shot after shot of Bone stalking through their hometown, past liquor stores and bail bonds joints, crew intact, burning tires in junkwards, shirtless and menacing.
It's hard not to see the imprimatur of Eazy-E. Say what you want about the man. That he can't "scrap a lick" so you know he's got a gat, that he "fucks with his road dogs," but Eazy knew how to market and package a rap group as well as anyone. "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" is an updated "Straight Outta' Compton." The lyrics are pitch-black, nothing but talk of getting high and remorseless killing. The look is similar. Oversized baggy t-shirts, graffiti-scarred walls, Loc sunglasses and a whole lot of very scary looking dudes scowling. Not to mention, put Eazy E in any video and I'm willing to give it a +5.
Wildly original, Bone's whirlwind raps seem effortless, but are nearly impossible to mimic. Want to feel stupid? Try rapping along to a Bone Thugs song. Needless to say, this made for outstanding laughs on the Bar-Mitzvah circuit in 1994. I suspect that part of the reason why Bone don't get much critical love is that they haven't had much of an influence on subsequent groups. But I'd argue that Bone Thugs were so unique and inimitable that any group that tried to copy them would look totally ridiculous (though Crucial Conflict's "Hay" and Do or Die's "Poor Pimp" are wonderful exceptions to this rule). More importantly, they made great songs, which I will continue to needlessly over-analyze in the next two days. But arguably none were better than this, their first Ruthless single, which taught 3,432,124 8th graders that it was perfectly alright to use "ruggish" as an adjective.

Frank G. Caruso - "This is My Sister"
Frank G. Caruso - "This is My Sister"
Premiere date: May 25, 2012
"This Is My Sister" is a journey of Love, Strength and Commitment, all taught by example, by Earl & Marion Fischer to their three daughters.
In 1957, when nearly all babies born with developmental disabilities were institutionalized, Earl & Marion said, "No, not Mary," even as the doctors said Mary would not even know their name or may even harm their family.
The sisters take Earl & Marion's example of what unconditional love is, redefining it evermore.
"This Is My Sister" is a rare, life-affirming journey from those who have been in the shadows, doing the hard work of everyday living. They are the eternal flame of dignity and grace. They ask for nothing and give everything without pause.
Frank G. Caruso|Unlike the filmmakers before him, Frank did not see a film when he was five years old and then dream of becoming a filmmaker. His first dream of what he wanted to achieve in life was breaking the four-minute mile, but genetics would lead him to other dreams. His mother had always told Frank to have many dreams for they are where all things begin. If you do that, you will be on your way to a life filled with joy.
Growing up in Utica, NY, Frank went to the matinees as often as he could. He'd sit and eat five bags of McDonald's French fries, which cost all of a buck back then. "I smuggled those fries into the Stanley Theater, always waiting to get thrown out by one of the flashlight crazy ushers." "To me, people never made films—they just appeared from a beam of light onto a two-story screen. And there I would sit, like a king on his throne, surrounded by velvet walls, sitting in my velvet chair, listening to those velvet words, entombed in a giant kaleidoscope."
In the summer Frank turned 12, he was able to buy a used Kodak M22 with two rolls of film and a Keystone 250 editor. "I filmed everything I saw and called my first film "Lives in the Wind", which was a distant and maybe the first of its kind look at people living on the streets – old and young, Black, white, dismayed and virtuous. They danced, and sang, and ate from the garbage; it was visceral." Frank would wait with intense patience for two weeks to get his film back from Tracy Adams, the local photo developer, then run up to the attic, loaded the reels on the Keystone that sat gingerly on his mother's ironing board and cut the film together. The joy he felt was ineffable. "I fell in love with film that summer and harnessed a new dream".
The Stanley Theater, where Frank studied film early on, would become his beloved Stanley Pictures production company. Frank has written, produced and directed several feature films and documentaries. His award winning screenplay and film short "The Red Umbrella" was Sony's "Shoot Like a Pro" number one video this past year. He has created commercial videos for corporations and small businesses. Most recently, he is deep in production with his documentary "What Color are My Eyes," the story of the labor movement that will be narrated by Norman Gilliland.

Rethinking prefabricated construction management using the VP-based IKEA model in Hong Kong
Li, Heng, Guo, Samuel H.L., Skitmore, Ronald Martin, Huang, Ting, Chan, K.Y.N., & Chan, Greg (2011) Rethinking prefabricated construction management using the VP-based IKEA model in Hong Kong. Construction Management and Economics, 29(3), pp. 233-245.
Accepted Version
(PDF 563kB)
Prefabricated construction is regarded by many as an effective and efficient approach to improving construction processes and productivity, ensuring construction quality and reducing time and cost in the construction industry. However, many problems occur with this approach in practice, including higher risk levels and cost or time overruns. In order to solve such problems, it is proposed that the IKEA model of the manufacturing industry and VP technology are introduced into a prefabricated construction process. The concept of the IKEA model is identified in detail and VP technology is briefly introduced. In conjunction with VP technology, the applications of the IKEA model are presented in detail, i.e. design optimization, production optimization and installation optimization. Furthermore, through a case study of a prefabricated hotel project in Hong Kong, it is shown that the VP-based IKEA model can improve the efficiency and safety of prefabricated construction as well as reducing cost and time.

The Manchester Evening News editor, Paul Horrocks, is leaving after 12 years in the job and more than 30 at the paper.
Horrocks, who has been with the MEN for 34 years, will leave to set up a media and communications consultancy. The MEN deputy editor, Maria McGeoghan, will be acting editor until a successor is appointed.
As one of the longest-serving regional editors in the UK, Horrocks was editor when the MEN set up its integrated multimedia newsroom and when pioneered its part-paid, part-free strategy that saw copies of the paper given out for free in Manchester city centre.
Horrocks joined the MEN from the Daily Mail in April 1975, working as a reporter, crime correspondent, news editor, assistant editor and deputy editor before becoming editor in 1997.
He said it had been a privilege to work with talented journalists at the MEN, part of the Guardian Media Group, which also publishes MediaGuardian.co.uk.
"I have had an immensely enjoyable and rewarding time as a writer and later editor of a great newspaper. It has taken me to some incredible places and I have met so many interesting people," he added.
"Leaving after such a long time is a wrench, but it is the right time for me and my family. I leave on the best of terms with Mark Dodson and the rest of the management team and wish them every success in a tough environment," Horrocks said.
"At the MEN we have created an integrated, multimedia newsroom that is the envy of many other publishing companies. It is an achievement I am proud of, and the whole editorial department shares in that. I wanted to see that process through, and oversee the move of our weekly newspaper journalists into Manchester, before departing. Through all that change, we have never lost our focus on community campaigns and quality journalism."
The chief executive of GMG Regional Media, Mark Dodson, said he was sorry to see Horrocks go.
"Paul is a superb journalist who has excelled at the highest levels of his profession. He has led the MEN to countless editorial achievements and awards, and implemented one of the UK's best examples of a converged news operation. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to him for everything he has done for the company over the last 34 years," Dodson added.
The chief executive of Guardian Media Group, Carolyn McCall, said: "Paul has been a hugely important part of the success of the Manchester Evening News and GMG for many years. He has steered the paper through a period of unprecedented change in the regional press with total commitment to quality journalism and to building the MEN's well-earned reputation for ground-breaking innovation. He will be greatly missed, and we wish him well for the future."
Horrocks was president of the Society of Editors in 2007 and served on the Press Complaints Commission from 2002 to 2006.
He is a member of the Defence, Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee. He also sits on the appeals board for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and is a non-executive director of MIDAS, which promotes business investment in Greater Manchester.
In March, GMG Regional Media business MEN Media, the publisher of the Manchester Evening News and 22 weeklies based in the north-west, including the Stockport Express and Rochdale Observer, announced it would close all the editorial offices of its weekly newspapers and axe 150 jobs. Some 70 of the roles were editorial. In April there were 11 compulsory redundancies at the MEN.
The newspaper withdrew from the Audit Bureau of Circulations regional newspaper sales survey in August.
During April and June, MEN sold or distributed 165,238 on Thursdays and Fridays, compared with 88,555 between Monday and Wednesday, when advertising demand was less. On Saturdays, when no copies are given away for free, the paper sold an average of 67,349.
The MEN began handing out free copies in the centre of Manchester in May 2006 to increase the paper's reach for advertisers.
While paid-for sales have fallen by around a third since then, the move allowed the MEN to become the UK's top regional newspaper after the ABC gave the paper a combined sales and distribution certificate last year.
In the second half of 2008 this was 153,724, with more than 81,000 copies handed out and almost 72,000 sold.

It took injuries to two celebrated Australians to bring actress Jodie Foster back to Australia after an absence of almost two decades.
The two-time Oscar winner replaced Nicole Kidman in the thriller Panic Room, which premiered in Sydney last night, after Kidman injured her knee before the film's physically demanding shoot.
Foster was only available because her next film as a director, Flora Plum, had been postponed when her lead star, Russell Crowe, had to undergo shoulder surgery. The New Zealand-born actor had been training to play a circus freak.
"Those crazy Australians," she said yesterday. "They need a lot of surgery."
Star of such critical hits as The Accused and Silence of the Lambs, Foster this time around plays a woman who takes refuge with her daughter in a secret compartment during a New York home invasion.
During filming, Foster had her own medical surprise for director David Fincher. She was pregnant with her second child - a development that required her to go from skimpy top to baggy sweater and then cashmere coat during the film.
"Normally the pregnancy wouldn't have been an issue but [filming] just went on too long."
Foster gave birth to Kit last September. Her other son, Charles, is now three.
So how did she play the role differently to Kidman?
"Every actor is different. Just by pure physicality, we're all different. She's almost a foot taller than me. The baggage that you bring, everything that you are, all of that changes who the character is. But I'm proud and honoured to be Nicole's understudy."
Asked about her friendship with Crowe, Foster came up with a theory about why he often seems so serious in public.
"There are many sides to Russell. My favourite side is the funny, charming, leprechauny side. Sometimes I think that in the public eye he often offers another side of his personality - the much more intense, serious, dour side - because it's his way of coping with the nervousness."
However, Foster ducked a question about whether Crowe was robbed at the Oscars this year.
"Winning the Oscar is no measure of performance - it's just bingo. You get five names that are thrown in a hat. One name is going to get pulled out and somebody goes 'bingo'. You just wish it was your name."
While she seems to act in relatively few films these days - her last, Anna and the King, was made over three years ago - Foster said it felt like just enough.
"I really believe that to be an actor who brings something to the screen, you need to have lived a bit."
Actors who work too often become "very empty people" with nothing to say.

He may be the best high school basketball player in the nation since LeBron James -- Sports Illustrated's latest cover certainly claims so -- but he's not fast-tracking his way to the NBA.
You see, we're talking about Jabari Parker, the junior at Simeon Career Academy in Chicago who was named the 2011-12 Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year and Mr. Basketball of Illinois. Parker, ranked the No. 1 recruit by Rivals.com, was also the only junior on the USA TODAY All-USA boys basketball team.
The 6-8 forward led his team to a state title averaging 19.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
Skip forward a few years.
Of course, we don't know where he'll go to college, but no matter where it is, many people will expect that he'll spend one year in school and go pro. At the very least, he's expected to be in a position to declare for the draft if he wants.
Maybe he won't, though. In the SI story, Parker discusses his Mormon faith at length. It's customary for Mormons to go on a two-year mission when they turn 19.
Parker's older brother did, in Atlanta, and Parker respects that. He also sees the path forged by Danny Ainge, who chose not to go on a mission at age 19 and went on to win two championships as a member of the Boston Celtics.
What about Parker? Does he plan on embarking on a mission himself?
"I want to go," Parker told SI. "But I have doubts. The NBA is the biggest dream of basketball players, and I'm no different."
Doesn't appear to be a slam dunk decision -- either way.

Girl Talk: Being A Lesbian Doesn't Mean I Can't Enjoy Sex With Men
For 10 years, I struggled with my sexual orientation and what to call it. I searched for labels that seemed to fit me best — bisexual, lesbian, fluid, queer? I had been with my first girlfriend for over two years, but still didn't identify as gay because I continued to be attracted to men.
When I started dating men again at the age of 26, I wasn't really falling for any them. One night, while I was having sex with a new guy for the first time, I burst out into tears because I realized I was a lesbian.
It wasn't the intercourse itself that made me come to this realization, it was that being with a man emotionally and physically didn't feel right. I wasn't emotionally capable of loving a man. I had feelings of lust, even romantic attraction to the guys I dated, but I never felt that magic spark that bring couples together.
For a few weeks, I abstained from sex altogether as I tried to understand what being a lesbian meant to me. When I figured it out, I felt that I was attracted to women both sexually and emotionally, that I loved women, but didn't feel I could ever love a man. I wasn't ruling out being with a man in the future, but at that time, I felt certain I couldn't be romantically involved with one. In a way, I felt liberated, because 10 years of confusion seemed to come to an end.
"I've figured it out! I am a lesbian!" I exclaimed to my other Sapphic friends.
Within weeks though, I was engaging in very unexpected behavior. I resumed sleeping with men with a vengeance, and yet, still identified as a lesbian.
It started with an ex-boyfriend, Eli*. He got back in touch with me a few months after we broke up. After some email exchanges, we decided to hang out. I met him at his apartment and we caught up over wine. As the saying goes "one thing led to another," and like a scene out of a movie, I was laughing, fell on top of him, looked into his eyes, and we started to make out. Minutes later, we were having sex.
For nearly a year the pattern continued. Whether I had one-night stands or was screwing guys casually, I still identified as a lesbian, and most of these men knew it. I never experienced any cognitive dissonance, confusion, or felt I wasn't gay. I had learned the art of compartmentalizing and detaching emotions from sex. Sex was sex, not a declaration of sexuality. I liked having sex with men because it felt good and fulfilled all of my urges and cravings.
I found it easy to get laid. Maybe men picked up on the fact that I wouldn't get emotionally invested or clingy. Maybe I finally figured out how to flaunt my sex appeal or flirt well — two things I never felt I figured out how to do while I was questioning my sexual orientation. Whatever made me attractive to men, it worked, and I relished in my very own sexual revolution.
I'm not saying this is something all lesbians do, quite the opposite. Most of my friends who identify as lesbians have either never had sex with men or stopped dating and sleeping with men as they came to terms with their sexuality. Some of my friends don't even find men sexually attractive. I've only met two gay women who've slept with men while they were out-of-the-closet lesbians. One was a girl I dated years ago, Monica*. She told me she still slept with men on a regular basis. Being naïve and still very label-oriented, I told her she was bisexual, not gay.
"No," she replied. "I'm a lesbian. I still have sex with men because it's just sex. If I'm horny, and I can't do it with a girl, I do it with a guy."
About a year into my sexual spree with men, I stopped. Not because I didn't want to, in fact, I did want to. But, I met my fiancée, a woman, and fell in love.
I'm lucky in that I can share my feelings about men with my fiancée, and she is neither jealous nor threatened. We even had a trial while she was out of the country of being allowed to kiss boys. I kissed one guy, in a bar. He was definitely sexy, and a great kisser. I got aroused and I knew I would have slept with him had I been single. I still have sex dreams and fantasies about men, but as long as my fiancée and I remain monogamous, my love and sex will remain strictly with my lady.

Seven teams—made up of musicians the likes of Jermaine Dupri, Jim Jones and Of Montreal—competing in a round robin basketball tournament in a gym small enough to allow fans a front row seat to the show, followed by an after-party with DJ sets and some southern BBQ. All because there's really no way you can have one without the other.
The action was hot and heavy as the teams made their way through the brackets. You can check out all the action in the recap video.

Listen to Jim Jones, and he will tell you the result was never in doubt. Check out highlights from the team captain and his squad, as well as some top notch trash-talking.
So So Def
The So So Def team was headed up by veteran music producer and label mogul, Jermaine Dupri, a prodigy who began producing before he could legally drive the congested highways of ATL. His squad was made up of some of Atlanta's hip-hop royalty, and they weren't too shabby on the hardwood either.
Southern Hospitality
Southern Hospitality is a five-man wrecking crew of ATL home grown rappers, DJs and producers. Check out their performance on and off the court at Band of Ballers.
