Folded Size: L: 106cm W: 30cm H: 32cm
Handle Height: 106cm
Weight: 8kg
Size: H: 110cm W: 50cm D: 74cm
Where shall I start? I think it is best to start from the bottom and work my way up. The front wheels can be swivel or locked into position for rougher terrain, they each have red wheel rims with Cosatto and a cute little cats head on them. When your pushchair is folded a handy stand automatically comes down which allows you to free stand store your pushchair. This feature I like because in the past I have had dirty walls as a result of leaning a pushchair against them when not in use. The seat has a 1 hand recline which is smoothly done & it has 4 recline positions. I have found the lie flat position to be the flattest I have ever seen on a stroller type pushchair.
The basket is big enough for a trip to the local shops for essentials or for all the lunch boxes on those school runs, like most strollers the basket can not be accessed if you have the seat fully reclined.
The Cosy toes can be used in 4 different ways which is great if you want to change things about. On the liner part of the cosy toes it's fleece on one side and the other side is the same design as what you can see on the interior of the hood. The liner can be used without the cosy toes cover on for the warmer days. The cover features the blue fleece kangaroo pouch on both sides, handy for those toddlers like mine who refuse to wear gloves. One side is the same design as the exterior fabric and the other is red with a outlined cat design in white. As much as I love this feature I have come across a few niggles. If your child has been walking and got a bit muddy, that mud will transfer onto the cosy toes design that is not in use, I would check it after each use and clean it if necessary. My other niggle is that the cosy toes does not seem long enough. My little lady's feet are right at the end so there is no room for growth and she is 21 months and not a tall child either, she does fit in it there is just no room for growth so bare this in mine if your child is tall and you want to use the cosy toes.
Cosatto have designed the seat unit that allows you to take it apart for easy cleaning of the fabric, this is brilliant for when you need to give it a good old clean. The hood is brilliant, it comes with its very own sun visor which my little lady loves, all you need to do is unzip the zip and pull down the visor. I have used this a few times when we have had a sudden down pour, it gave me time to get under shelter to put the rain cover on. It is brilliant for keeping the glare of the sun(when we have some) off your child especially as they are sleeping. In the hood there is a nifty pocket that allows you to place a tablet in there so your child can be entertained whilst on the go. In the back of the hood you will find the mp4 pocket. When I first read about this I did think that I didn't want music blaring from my pushchair but in all honesty it is not loud, I used my iphone to play the music from and I could hardly hear it but my daughter could from where she was sitting. I have also used this pocket to store my phone and keys which is handy because I can find them without rummaging through the changing bag.
The raincover is easy to put on, it stays in place around the frame using velcro tabs, press studs are used to keep it in place at the front wheels which means your child can't kick it off. I take off the cup holder when I am using the raincover just because I find the fit much better when the cup holder is not in place. The cup holder is my husbands favourite feature, he has complained that most pushchairs I have had don't have anywhere to put a cup so now he is finally happy. The cup holder can be placed on either side of the frame.
I think Cosatto have been listening to their taller customers because they have added a feature that allows the handles to be adjusted to a height that is suitable for the taller parent. My sister in law is quite tall and many times I have watched her having to lean over to push her daughter and this must put a strain on any parents back. So if you are tall then Cosatto have made their Supa's perfect for you. Don't worry if you short like me, the Supa is just as perfect for you too.
I would recommend the Supa to family and friends, I shall be taking my Supa away on holiday to give it the beach test so look out for that post.
I received this product for the purpose of the review, all opinions are my own.

The acclaimed Off Broadway production of "Fela!" will transfer to the Eugene O'Neill Theater, with the first preview scheduled for Oct. 19 and an opening night of Nov. 23, the show's publicist announced Thursday evening.
The musical, about Nigerian composer and performer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, is directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones. Mr, Jones and Jim Lewis wrote the book, and Mr. Lewis wrote additional lyrics to go along with several original songs by Mr. Kuti.
"Fela!" opened at 37 Arts last summer and ran through October 5; it went on to win 2009 Lucille Lortel awards (recognizing Off Broadway theater) for outstanding musical, choreographer (Mr. Jones), and costume design (Marina Draghici).
Drawing on Mr. Kuti's blends of jazz, funk, and African rhythm and harmonies, the musical centers on his life as an artist and as political activist in Nigeria, where he was often a scourge of the government for writing songs and musical pieces that criticized corruption and abuses in the nation's military.
The cast will again be led by Sahr Ngaujah as Mr. Kuti; Mr. Ngaujah won an Obie and was nominated for a Lortel award for his performance.

CLEVELAND, England, April 27 (UPI) -- Police in northern England were involved in a massive manhunt Thursday for a man believed to have killed two people who were alone in their homes.
James Allen, 35, was named as a suspect in the killings of Colin Dunford, 81, of Middlesbrough, and Julie Davison, 50, of Whitby, both in Yorkshire, The Guardian reported. Dunford's body was found after he failed to turn up Monday at the working men's club where he was a daily visitor, while Davison's sister found her body Wednesday.
Both died from head injuries, police said.
"Anyone who can carry out such callous acts needs to be caught as a matter of urgency," Temporary Detective Chief Superintendent Gordon Lang said. "We have over 100 officers working on the incident to trace Allen, and we are focusing our efforts in Cleveland and in the Whitby area of North Yorkshire."
Dunford was last seen alive late Sunday afternoon. Investigators said a man with a mountain bicycle was seen near Davison's home at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Weather-ready gear, practical carry-ons and cozy blankets for chilly flights are all you need to pull off a spring trip in style. I count down three of the hottest items for spring travels, both for those on a budget and those who don't mind a splurge.
Carry-on luggage is the way to go when travelling this spring. Pack light and save yourself both checked baggage fees and time at the airport.
Budget: Walmart's 19 inch upright carry-on
This 19 inch upright carry-on is durable, while also being light weight. Pouches expand to fit souvenirs and wheels mean your luggage will keep up with you, no matter where you jetset. $52. See walmart.ca.
Splurge: Mancini 20 inch M-Tech 4
The hard polycarbonate shell on this 20 inch carry-on ensures your belongings stay safe through turbulence and more. It's extremely light despite the shell, at only 7.5 pounds. $174.99. See shopbentley.com.
Spring weather can be extremely unpredictable. Prepare for spring showers by tucking a foldable umbrella in your carry-on or purse. The CATSA has approved umbrellas for carry-on.
Budget: Samsonite Pocket Size Mini Umbrella
This tiny umbrella is only 6.5 inches when folded. $18.45. See amazon.ca.
Splurge: Senz Mini Storm Umbrella
This umbrella certainly looks odd, but the unconventional shape helps to break through wind. Plus, the patented frame won't turn inside out even in 80 km/h winds. It's super light and is only 11 inches in length when folded. $65. See raindropsto.com.
Temperatures can change at a moment's notice in spring, but travellers who bring along a cozy blanket on a flight will be prepared for the chilliest of flights and fluctuating weather no matter the destination.
Budget: Walmart's print fleece reverse throw
This cozy fleece blanket will keep you warm on the coldest of flights and on those chilly spring evenings when relaxing at your hotel. This blanket is also large enough to cuddle under, at 50 by 60 inches in size. $7. See walmart.ca.
Splurge: Roots Tweed Cabin Blanket
This cool "work sock" style blanket from Roots is made in Canada from a cotton-acrylic blend. At 96 by 90 inches, it's perfect for an extra layer on a bed or warming you – and your neighbour – up on a plane. $275. See canada.roots.com.

Everybody seems to be talking about the 200th Anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth.
I started reading Nicholas Nickleby on my new gadget at Christmas. For someone who can only use one hand I have put off reading any big books long ago. My gadget solved that.
Into the second chapter and enter the Muffin Company, a great ruse for making money that wasn't really there (modern day parallels, Fanny Mae and RBS, abound).
The treatment of Smike in Dotheby is extreme by today's standards but you only have to listen to the testimony of Edna James to realise that sort of thing was still going on into the 1950s.
Smike has essentially been left at the school and the school master has neglected to educate him because the fees have not been paid.
Smike then befriends Nicholas Nickleby who then adapts his writing so that Smike can appear in his plays. When Nicholas returns to London Smike goes with him.
Squeers and Nickleby's wicked Uncle Ralph try to reclaim Smike and in the process label him an "imbecile". The Nickleby family all rally round and protect Smike who finds a skill and something he is good at – gardening. He is loved for who he is and what he does for those around him. He has value in a Dickensian World.
Dickens explains at the start of the novel his reasoning for exposing malpractice in schools. He was criticised for writing about schools in such a negative way, but this novel was to expose bad practice and help to stimulate discussion that resulted in the first regulation of schools by Act of Parliament.
Dickens also depicted people with physical impairments as positive role models. Newman Noggs had a definite limp and stoop and was fond of a pint, but he is a loyal friend and a hero (the strike of the bellows which fells Squeers and results in Squeer's arrest is a key part of the novel).
I would have to say Dickens was ahead of the curve as far as writing about Education. He had a paternalistic attitude towards disabled people but he valued people for the qualities they individually possess and this novel brought about changes that have resulted in, on balance, a more inclusive education system. I don't think we should go back towards segregation and exclusion.
Disabled children have value and we should do everything in our power to ensure they are fully included in our society.

Jay Cutler's character and gusto has long been questioned.
Even coming out of Vanderbilt in the 2006 NFL Draft, Cutler had some questions raised about his leadership and general attitude. Even still, the Broncos picked him No. 11 overall in the draft and he appeared to be the next John Elway for a while.
Then, all the wheels came off. He butted heads with Josh McDaniels when he was brought in as head coach prior to the 2009 season and was ultimately traded to the Bears for Kyle Orton before even playing a game under McDaniels.
On Sunday, all those questions about Cutler were brought up again. "Sometime in the first half" of the NFC title game at Soldier Field against the Green Bay Packers, Cutler suffered an odd knee injury.
He was never seen getting worked on on the sideline, never really showed any signs of pain, he was just "hurt". He was also terrible. He completed just 6 of 14 passes for 80 yards and a pick.
Now, reports are coming out that Cutler suffered a torn MCL, an injury that isn't all that catastrophic for the average joe, but for NFL player it makes it pretty difficult to plant and cut, both of which an NFL quarterback must do. So he gets a free pass there, but it still doesn't excuse his history and his awful play on the biggest stage of his career.
After attempting to play a series in the third quarter, he came out and was relieved by backup QB Todd Collins. That went even worse. That forced the Bears to bring in third stringer Caleb Hanie, a former Forney Jackrabbit, who almost led the most improbable comeback in NFL history by leading the Bears on two fourth-quarter scoring drives and nearly a third while the Packers' offense stumbled.
Perhaps the Washington Post put it best when in a column on Monday, Tracee Hamilton said the 25-year-old third stringer out of Colorado State "was this close to being [able] to drink free in Chicago for life." And she was right. All of this happened while Cutler was standing on the sideline, all by himself, just watching.
In postgame interviews on FOX, Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews basically said they would've been better off had Cutler not gotten hurt, and how Hanie almost sent them packing in a game that they dominated for much of the day.
Is there a QB controversy in Chicago? Probably not. But Cutler's poor play and subsequent, but no longer mysterious injury, coupled with Hanie's near-storybook performance made things interesting for at least a day.

Should you take a gap year?
We wrote a while back about how taking a gap year between school and university is a great opportunity to grow up quickly. But is it right for everyone?
The short answer is: of course not.
So what should a pupil consider if they are thinking about taking a year off?
It mustn't be a "year off"
Just as America is waking up to the value of the gap year – with even Malia Obama taking time out before going to Harvard – we have seen a rising fear in this country that travelling the world before uni simply isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Sure, there may be an element here of grumpy old(ish) people saying "it's not like it was in my day". Still, the common thread in the video is that all those people worked hard in their time away to earn money for when they became a student, or to fund their own travels.
In this video from the BBC in 2014, the accusation (as in the Loose Women discussion) is that so many gap year students seem to tread the same paths, seeing the same things, and in such a structured way that it's almost like a package holiday:
Certainly, if mummy and daddy pay for you to go volunteering somewhere remote in South America then you will probably have a great time doing something worthwhile. If you do it as part of a group of 20 well-off, English-speaking people of your own age, organised by a specialist gap year company and with 24-hour Skype access, then perhaps less so. It's hardly far outside your comfort zone.
So the gap year, which used to be the preserve of the privileged, almost seems to have become least valuable for the ones who can pay most for it.
A pupil who wants to take a gap year should stop thinking about it as a "year off", and make it a "year on".
That's what this American student did, as he tells in a TEDx seminar from 2014:
Weigh up the benefits
Brandon Hill, in the video above, came to his gap year because one of his grades slipped and he was urged to take a year to improve it.
That's a perfectly valid and common reason for UK students to think about taking another year before going to uni, too. If a pupil is determined to follow a particular path and needs a better grade to do it, then resitting the exam and applying again through UCAS is perfectly sensible.
The key thing is determination. Brandon Hill had plenty of that.
UCAS has a great list of pros and cons to think through before deciding to tick the "deferred entry" box on the application form.
Among UCAS's warnings is the possibility that the gap year won't add anything much of value. It's only a pro if it's "productive".
Gap years were always supposed to be about pushing your limits and seeing something of the world outside the bubble of your childhood. If you're not going to earn money, you're not going to make a contribution and you're not going to learn anything you couldn't learn on a Saturday night out with your mates, what's the point?
Learn and earn
A gap year ought to be successful if:
- the pupil is organised about it, and can do their research and get valuable activities set up in advance, which is not the same as getting someone else to organise it all;
- he or she is determined to do something worthwhile – not just to "see the world" but actually experience and learn from it;
- the pupil is going to work hard. Volunteering somewhere exotic at your parents' expense is all well and good, but independence comes from earning your own keep;
- it points you back towards your studies and helps to clarify or move you along your career path. (It's also worthwhile if it helps you decide that you've got it all wrong and reveals a new path.) The year could include some kind of part-time course, or have an element of contributing to an academic study.
We're not all like Malia Obama, and we can't just walk into an internship in the US Embassy in Spain. Still, a pupil who wants to take a "year on" ought to be looking at who they know, and where they are around the world (remembering, too, that the world is also on your doorstep). They might see that working in their uncle's garage down the road is going to help their engineering studies. Maybe they want to study sports science and could offer to help with groundskeeping at the French football club they once played against. If they're going to do English, why not ask to work for six months in their great aunt's bookshop in Vancouver? A would-be chemist could gain a lot from chipping in with their friend's mother's wedding catering company, while spending their evenings trying to master Heston Blumenthal's recipes.
It seems curmudgeonly to urge young people not to undertake anything that won't look good on their CVs. But maybe that's not a bad yardstick. It's going to sound better if they can say "I travelled the world working on cruise ships, having a blast with some great people" than if they say "I travelled the world Instagramming beach parties".
If it's a year spend drifting, then it's worthless. A pupil who can't see a valuable way to spend the year should think seriously about whether it's the right choice , because they may find it hard to get back into the discipline of study or wander away from that university place completely.
And a pupil who knows what they want to study and is keen to get on with it might simply be better off… getting on with it.

Movies like "Trade," "Nymphomaniac" and "Her" shine a light on the darker side of intimacy.
Movies like "Trade," "Nymphomaniac" and "Her" shine a light on the darker side of intimacy.
Who wouldn't want to grab a coffee with the ladies in "Bridesmaids," "Trainwreck" and "Carol"?
"Animal House" is just the beginning…
Melissa McCarthy is an incredibly funny, down-to-earth, all-around great gal–and for obvious reasons, we're pretty much obsessed with making her our best friend. But in case you've somehow missed out on the awesomeness that is McCarthy, here are 10 reasons why she'd be an amazing BFF–from being the perfect wingman on Bridesmaids to intuitively understanding you a la Sookie in "Girlmore Girls."
"Bridesmaids," "Love, Actually," "When Harry Met Sally…" Here are 10 movies that expertly capture what a one night stands (or attempts at having them) are really like.
South by Southwest Film Festival is known for its mumblecore, raunchy comedies, unique horror films—and in recent years, large world premieres. Here are ten of our favorite movies that premiered at SXSW, including "Bridesmaids," "The Hurt Locker" and "Knocked Up," that have gone on to launch careers and interesting collaborations.
There's no denying Jon Hamm's TV superstardom—Don Draper is one of the most indelible characters of our time, but the actor shines on the big screen as well. As Mad Men draws to a close, take a look at Hamm's Top 5 movie roles—including one you can catch in theaters now.
I know the very IMPORTANT opinions of the showrunner, and executive producer, of Two and A Half Men are probably almost TOO important to you people. So you probably agree with him when he says there are just too many tv shows and movies starring women these day. I mean why wouldn't you? He's the guy that came up with the solution to "but what happens when three men are too much?" I happen to be on the same page as this dude. There are too many models on Entourage, too many Victoria's Secret Specials, too many women wearing bikinis on Spike TV, and most of all, there are too many women having sex with Ashton Kutcher on Two and A Half Men. I happen to like a movie with a little more bite to it–starring females that are asskickers, every day heroes, or just happen to not worry what they look like in a bikini. You know, girls that stay away from Turtle (Entourage shout out!) and perhaps might be a role model for the millions of young girls out there who are six and already starting to worry about their love handles. Here are my favorites:
Note: This review is written by Em, who loved the movie FRIENDS WITH KIDS. Lo, who begs to differ, will weigh in tomorrow.
The Los Angeles Times just posted a massive investigation into the demographics of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the 5,765 largely anonymous voters who every year decide who will receive the highly coveted and ultra-influential Oscars. Their findings, which will come as a shock to no one who has watched the Oscars at any point in the last 25 years, revealed a membership that is very old and very uncool. 94% of Academy voters are white; 77% are male. 54% are over the age of 60; just 2% are under the age of 40.
Happy New Year! And if your 2012 resolution is to watch every episode of FREAKS AND GEEKS, then you are in luck. Starting tonight at 7 PM et/pt, Sundance Channel will air them all — including the ones that never saw the light of broadcast. This is the perfect opportunity to reminisce about a time before TV got all Real Housewives and Teen Mom (1999-2000, to be precise). It's also your chance to get that one friend who has never seen the show hooked. To help us dig deeper into one of the most beloved (by us indie nerds, at least), short-lived TV shows, SUNfiltered spoke to the show's creator, Paul Feig (BRIDESMAIDS), over the holidays.
From Bridesmaids to Crazy Stupid Love to Beginners, 2011 was a year during which the onscreen heat was palpable.

Anne Vawter Joins the Oakville Ranch Vineyards
Oakville Ranch Vineyards has announced that Anne Vawter has been hired as winemaker. After completing the B.S. in Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis, Vawter earned her chops in a series of wineries from Washington State to Chile. As assistant winemaker at Paradigm Winery in Oakville, she honed her skill working alongside consulting winemaker Heidi Barrett. Blending is Vawter's favorite part of the winemaking process, as it gives her a chance to put her mark on the brand. "Not taking the vineyard expression and changing it to something totally different," she says, "just focusing it in a way that appeals, that approaches my ideal." You can hear the reverence (and the excitement!) in her voice when she talks about working with our yield here at the ranch. Vawter follows Ashley Heisey, who left to devote more attention to her own wine brand and consulting projects.

War Is Also a Health Hazard
If an international body - let us say, the World Health Organization - were to rate Israel solely on the basis of its newspapers and evening news shows, it would reach the conclusion that no country in the world takes such good care of its citizens.
If an international body - let us say, the World Health Organization - were to rate Israel solely on the basis of its newspapers and evening news shows, it would reach the conclusion that no country in the world takes such good care of its citizens, at least in all that concerns health, hygiene and protection against pests and diseases. I bet you would not find a pastoral village in Switzerland, with not a security threat in the world, as obsessed with the purity of its food, the sterility of its meat, the freshness of its vegetables, the quality of its water and air and health hazards as Israel has been of late, in a kind of strange, though not entirely unwelcome, frenzy.
Whether this is a reaction to the negligence in national affairs (peace and security, for example), a light break from such concerns or just part of the country's habit of being in constant fear of something (Iran, West Nile fever, a pedophile on the loose), not a day goes by without some kind of worry, something to cluck our tongues over, something to keep us anxious: killer viruses lurking in the fins of innocent-looking fish; a sea full of E. coli plotting a joint offensive with monster jellyfish; vegetarian meat that plays tricks in the freezer and forges its own sell-by date; ordinary vegetables sprayed with poison and organic vegetables full of worms; water just waiting in the tap to attack our inner organs; days when breathing is absolutely not recommended in Gush Dan.
The investigative reporting never lets up. The media have appointed special "scary affairs" reporters whose job is to come up with a new threat nobody has ever heard of every day. Their orders: find the carcinogen of the week! Neither the worry nor the investigation makes Israelis healthier or more robust, but how can you complain when such awareness, such concern about the environment and the health of every one of us, has suddenly surfaced after years of neglect?
The new trend is welcome in itself, of course. Unfortunately, the neglect was due to a different set of national priorities: Israel has spent the last 60 years on primitive and primal matters such as wars, occupation and defending territory. So shaking our heads and saying tsk-tsk would definitely be in order, if it were not for the fact that we are still engaged in these prehistoric endeavors today.
Proof of the fact that not one of these primordial, antediluvian issues has been resolved is that just a few months ago, dozens of Israelis were being injured by Hezbollah's missiles, which are not exactly healthful, and which also did not do wonders for Israel's environment (especially not the forests). The same goes for the Qassams falling on Sderot, which have opened more roofs and walls than chakras. Mainly, one sees it in how naturally we discuss the advantages of antioxidants and lycopene in organic tomatoes, and in the same breath, almost parenthetically, the likelihood of war with Syria or Iran - although it will not help the air quality around Haifa Bay, or contribute to the balance of iron and magnesium in the body (unless one sustains a direct hit), or improve the quality of the water in any faucets that remain intact.
Some will say: What do new, improved Scud missiles have to do with the benefits of oatmeal? Others may say: If we have to go to war, at least let us go into it healthy. And yet, when it comes to public welfare, without belittling the value of quinoa and wheat germ oil, maybe there is something in the old priorities. To put it another way, if we had insisted that our leaders invest in diplomacy, defense and peacemaking even one-tenth of what we are demanding today from food suppliers and delis, it would contribute a lot more (statistically, at least) to our health and longevity.

Stone Sour Issue Live Music Video for Energetic New Song 'Mercy'
Stone Sour have been building up a considerable amount of hype regarding their forthcoming album, Hydrograd. So far, "Fabuless," "Song #3" and "Taipei Person/Allah Tea" have offered a dynamic look at what the follow-up to The House of Gold & Bones double album will sound like and fans are getting yet another glimpse with the newly released song "Mercy."
This time, the track has arrived in the form of a live music video, which aligns itself with the recording values of Hydrograd as it was tracked live rather than being stitched together using Pro Tools. We're treated to mutli-angle shots of Stone Sour jamming at Sphere Studios, moving with the rolling energy of the jangling melody of the opening moments of "Mercy." There's a fun push and pull to the song's pace as listeners are swept away by the soaring chorus.
When Corey Taylor spoke to Full Metal Jackie, he shared why he's so enthusiastic about this latest slab of music. "It just has so many different musical spirits; so many different kinds of good hard rock, metal, punk, rock 'n' roll. There's even some bluesy California country on it which is really really cool," the singer said, adding, "We went all out on this album and it paid off in so many different dividends that it is going to blow people away and that's why we are so… that's why I'm so excited about it. I'm still listening to it. That's how good it is."
Hydrograd will be out June 30 through Roadrunner and pre-orders can be placed here. Look for Stone Sour on tour this summer as they support Korn starting June 16. To get more information and to see if the trek is stopping at a city near you, click here.

Wladimir Klitschko outclasses Wach in Hamburg
Wladimir Klitschko ended the unbeaten run of Poland's Mariusz Wach in a one-sided defence of his WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight titles in Hamburg.
The Ukrainian incumbent controlled his outmatched foe from the get-go, with only a solid Wach right from out of nowhere at the end of round five offering any sort of doubt.
Klitschko, though clearly fazed by the shot, recovered between rounds and continued to wear the Pole down, though he was unable to complete a clear knockout or stoppage.
The win by scorecards of 120-107, 120-107 and 119-109 takes Wladimir's record to 59-3 from 62 fights, handing Wach his first loss in 28.
The dominant champion had minor question marks hanging over his head going into the bout at the O2 World Arena, having lost his famous trainer Emanuel Steward weeks prior, and facing an opponent bigger and taller than he for the first time.
But Klitschko soon eased into his usual command of the ring, showing superior movement and reflexes to leave Wach looking mostly sluggish.
The contest resembled more of an exhibition than a world title bout after the first four rounds went the Ukrainian's way, but with seconds remaining in the fifth Wach landed a strong right which left Klitschko's eyes glazed as he struggled to fend off the approaching challenger for the remainder of the round.
Once he was able to do so, however, Klitschko returned to full control and weakened Wach sufficiently, including leaving a sizeable mark on his right eye. But despite numerous attempts in the championship rounds Wladimir was unable to find the killer combo to cut the fight short.
Nonetheless, after 12 rounds the judges were in no doubt of his successful defence, with just one awarding a solitary round to the Pole, presumably for landing such a shot in round five
"It was a very tough fight and Mariusz had to take a lot of punches," Klitschko said after the win. "I thought that Wach would go down but he fought on."
Klitschko then paid tribute to late coach Steward.
"On July 7 after our last fight we sang happy birthday to him. We miss you, we love you, you are always here in the ring, thank you Emanuel," said Klitschko.

NL Central rivals square off in opener
The St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers are wasting no time in resuming their fierce National League Central Division rivalry. The Cards already have a 1-0 record after a successful one-night stand in Miami, but it will be Game
No 1 for the Brewers when the teams meet at 3:10 p.m. today at Miller Park.
The Cardinals ended the Brewers� World Series hopes last fall, pounding them, 12-6, in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series at Miller Park. It was a turnabout from the regular season, when the Brewers captured the division for the first time and St. Louis got hot enough at the end to claim the wild card, only to get the last laugh by winning it all.
Now, 173 days after that NLCS clincher, the Cardinals return to the scene of the crime.
�It�s almost like it has to happen this way,� said Brewers right fielder Corey Hart. �You get it out of the way and get on with the season. But it�s going to have a different feel this time.�
Indeed, the three major protagonists from past battles are missing. Prince Fielder is playing in Detroit, Albert Pujols is wearing a Los Angeles Angels uniform and former St. Louis manager Tony La Russa, the man Brewer Nation loved to hate, is a new employee of the commissioner�s office.
Can former Brewers catcher Mike Matheny, St. Louis� rookie manager, engender the kind of passion that La Russa fueled when these combatants squared off?
�Obviously, he was good at what he did,� Hart said of
La Russa. �He was good at getting the other team riled up and have it work in (the Cardinals�) favor. He managed very well; I�ll say that. But there always was stuff going on.
�(St. Louis right-hander Chris) Carpenter isn�t going to be there, either (Carpenter is on the DL). There was always a little something with him. Prince was a big part of all of that, too. So you wonder what it will be like.�
Despite the losses of the two biggest personalities on the club, not to mention respected pitching coach Dave Duncan, the Cardinals are the preseason pick of many to win the division. The Cincinnati Reds, who now must make do without injured closer Ryan Madson, are considered co-favorites.
The Brewers? Nationally, nearly a consensus pick to finish third. That�s how much the pundits believe the club is going to miss Fielder.
Those who will line up on the first-base side for pre-game introductions today don�t see it that way, however. They note that a solid pitching staff returns nearly intact, but with uber-setup man Francisco Rodriguez on board for the full season.
The Brewers also point to the spectacular spring of veteran shortstop Alex Gonzalez, who replaces the erratic Yuniesky Betancourt. They quietly note that third baseman Aramis Ramirez is bound to fare much better than struggling Casey McGehee did in 2011. And teammates have confidence that Mat Gamel will hold his own as the new first baseman.
�I guarantee you that nobody in this clubhouse thinks we�re going to finish third, and that�s all that matters,� said Ramirez. �We don�t worry about the media and baseball writers. We know what we can do.
�It�s a good thing, actually (that few expect a lot from the Brewers). We know what we are capable of. If we do things we know we can do and stay healthy, we should do much better than that.�
As for the Cardinals, Ramirez added, �We know they are the World Series champions. But we are in the same division, so we are going to have to play them many times. It�s good to see what they are going to bring to the table.
�They still have a pretty good team. We�ll see how things go. We�re ready for the challenge.�
To hear general manager Doug Melvin tell it, those who expect the Brewers to have �Prince-partum depression� might be a bit surprised. No one is saying that Fielder didn�t cut a wide swath through the clubhouse, but Melvin liked the way the players went about their business during spring training.
�I think everybody has accepted life without Prince,� said Melvin. �It�s not something that�s lingering or something where we say, �How are we going to survive without Prince?� They turned the page pretty quickly on that. They understood that he�s not here and we�ve got to move on.
�The guys in the clubhouse, the fans, everybody understood that.�
Another reason the Brewers are getting little preseason love is the expectation that Ryan Braun�s production will drop in 2012. Beyond being pitched to differently without Fielder as protection, folks want to see how he�ll react to the pressure and fans� taunts on the road after the drug-test saga that dominated his off-season.
Braun did not look like himself in the early weeks of exhibition season but gathered himself nicely at the end and finished with a flourish, booming a double to center in his final spring at-bat Wednesday against Arizona.
�You can�t bring (hits) with you (from spring training),� said Braun. �You always want to have success. I think you dictate and define your own success. For me, at the beginning of spring training, success means getting your work in, physically preparing yourself for a 180-game season, hopefully.
�Then, you hopefully are locked in at the end of spring training. I feel great. The last week, week and a half, I�ve hit the majority of balls on the barrel.�
The Brewers have no choice but to be ready from the outset, with the ring-bearing Cardinals cracking the lid on Milwaukee�s home season.
�We enjoy the atmosphere when we play these guys,� said Braun. �They have a great team, year in and year out.�
You know they�re going to be in it at the end of the year. We certainly hope to be in it and expect to be in it at the end of the year. Those guys always play hard, so it just makes it that much more fun to compete against them.
�Even without Pujols, I think they still have a really good team. There�s a reason they won the World Series last year. I�m sure they have the same expectation they have every year, which is win the division and go back to the postseason. That�s our expectation, too.�

Supported by the commitment of the University of Connecticut and the state to stem cell research, a UConn Health Center researcher is advancing the understanding of the devastating inherited condition known as spinal muscular atrophy.
Xue-Jun Li, assistant professor in the Department of Neuroscience, is corresponding author of a paper published in the prestigious journal Cell Research in December 2012 entitled "Recapitulation of spinal motor neuron-specific disease phenotypes in a human cell model of spinal muscular atrophy." The paper's other authors are UConn Health Center researcher Zhi-Bo Wang and Xiaoqing Zhang of the Tongji University School of Medicine in Shanghai.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of inherited diseases that cause muscle damage and debilitation, which progress over time and eventually lead to death. To be affected, a person must inherit the defective gene from both parents. About 1 in 10,000 people have SMA, and most do not survive childhood due to respiratory problems, heart failure and infections.
"There is no effective treatment for spinal muscular atrophy, and one of the roadblocks is not knowing why the spinal motor neuron degenerates," Li explains. "One of the aspects of our research is to understand how specific types of neurons are specified and degenerated. We are trying to model neurological disorders by using human motor neurons derived from stem cells."
Establishing human cell models of SMA to mimic motor neuron-specific phenotypes holds the key to understanding this destructive disease, she says. The model described in the journal article provides a unique paradigm for studying how motor neurons degenerate. It also highlights the potential importance of antioxidants for the treatment of SMA.
Understanding how motor neurons are specifically degenerated can lead to effective interventions in the future. "It can help us find some way to rescue the motor neuron degeneration in this disease," Li points out. "Understanding the role of antioxidants can provide potential clues to finding a treatment."
Li's interest in medicine began in high school when she considered a career as a physician, but she refocused on medical research as a college undergraduate in Shanghai. She describes her cousin's battle with a neurological disease as the trigger for her concentration in that field. "It made me really want to find some cures and understand the disease," she says. "I wanted to do something that improves general health."
Li moved to the U.S. in 2002 and worked for five years as a researcher at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She was drawn to the University of Connecticut because of the state's stem cell research grant program and the university's creation of a Stem Cell Institute. Now there are even more opportunities with the commitment of state leaders to support genomics and personalized medicine, and The Jackson Laboratory construction of a major research facility on the Health Center's campus.
"That's why UConn was so attractive to me," she says. "There was strong support for my research. I applied for a grant from the state and got it right away. I feel very lucky to be here."

OTTAWA - Two-thirds of Canadians support the death penalty, according to a recent poll, although less than half of the country wants the government to bring it back into Canadian law.
Capital punishment jumped back into the news last week when Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in an interview he supported the death penalty.
"I, personally, think there are times where capital punishment is appropriate, Harper told CBC, but insisted he had no plans to bring the measure back.
Parliament banned capital punishment in 1976.
Opposition parties slammed Harpers comments.
If Mr. Harper is genuinely in favour of capital punishment, then he should say so and bring a bill to floor of the House of Commons, Liberal MP David McGuinty said.
It turns out such a bill would garner more support than Harper's Conservatives currently do in the polls.
Over the weekend, Ottawas Abacus Data found that 66% of Canadians agree with Harper and support the death penalty in certain circumstances, but only 41% want the feds to bring back it back a punishment for murder.
The largest group, 41%, said they agreed with the death penalty in certain circumstances and believe the government should reinstate it, while 25% said they support the death penalty but do not believe it should be reinstated.
Total opposition to the death penalty came in at 28%, and another 7% were undecided.
Abacus CEO David Coletto said he doubts Harpers comments will cost him much in the way of voter support.
The prime minister's comment demonstrates how well he knows his core base of support. Only 16% of Conservative supporters said they opposed the death penalty outright, so his comment could be interpreted as a signal to his base that he is still on side and is with them on many social issues, Coletto said.
Support for the death penalty today is nearly identical to where is was in 1978. A Gallup poll that year showed 68% of Canadians supported reinstatement of the death penalty for those convicted of murder.
Abacus polled 1,105 adult Canadians between Jan. 21-24, in a survey of randomly selected adults from an online panel of over 400,000. The margin of error is 2.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

text: Victoria Beckham may favor skintight jeans for herself, but when it comes to men, she wants to keep things loose - and her new line of jeans for men are designed just for that. "I think guys should wear jeans big and baggy, with a big pair of boots or flip-flops - exactly how you see David [Beckham] when he's out in his jeans and T-shirt," says Posh. "Do not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang!" Victoria's dVb denim line for men will hit stores this August and the jeans will retail from $220 to $285. The singer fashionista reiterates, "These are not skinny jeans. They are what I call proper men's jeans. I didn't want anything too tight around the crotch. That really repulses me."

Mariana was back again with that huge round ass. This time she came to workout her body before she got her pussy worked out. Mariana did some exercises with her enormous booty in the air, and it was pure pleasure. Then Tony joined the party, and soon after, she was sucking and fucking that cock. Mariana got her pussy pounded and even got her asshole drilled in some awesome anal action. That pussy and asshole got rammed until Tony exploded his man juice all over her huge ass.


text: Comment #15 on issue 230 by YitzGale: Modular config support http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=230 Here's another idea: if xmonad.hs contains just import XMonad main = useModularConfig then xmonad reloads again using whichever modular config scheme we choose. That does slow things down, but then we can also provide a command-line flag that skips directly to modular without worrying about compatibility issues. We are then free to choose whichever scheme we prefer for modular configuration. We could also arrange things so that if xmonad.hs is not the above, old-style config files would still work as always even with the --modular command line flag. That requirement would slightly limit us in our choice of modular scheme though. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

The Unexpected Being in Laurel Canyon House, Everything Changed
Directed and written by Lisa Cholodenko, �Laurel Canyon� is a drama romantic musical film that introduces different feelings, which are all destined to change at a certain point .
Directed and written by Lisa Cholodenko, �Laurel Canyon� is a drama romantic musical film that introduces different feelings, which are all destined to change at a certain point.
Joining the San Fernando Valley to the heart of the city of Los Angeles, Laurel Canyon is a street that runs through the heart of the Hollywood Hills. The canyon is notable for its varied residents. Among its current residents is Jane (Frances McDormand), a legendary record producer, currently producing an album for a British band led by singer Ian (Allesandro Nivola), who is supposed to be her lover. Jane and the band are creating the album in her Laurel Canyon house where she has a recording studio.
Jane�s son Sam (Christian Bale) and his fianc�e Alex (Kate Beckinsale) are both recent graduates of Harvard medical school. They decide to move to Los Angeles to complete their studies. Jane has offered her Laurel Canyon home for them to stay in, promising that it will be vacant.
But when Sam and Alex arrive Jane and the Band are still working in Jane�s home recording studio to complete the album. Sam and Alex begrudgingly stay at Jane�s house until they can find an alternative place to live.
Few days later, unexpected incidents begin to take place, filling the house with tension and doubt.
Director Cholodenko does a great job exploring the complications around intimacy. Each of the characters changes in a way that is enlightening, whether significantly or subtly.
The film was released in 2002. It runs for 103 minutes

Christmas can be a real downer for those who are gluten free, especially kids who look forward to treats at holiday parties at school and at home. Even if you're a mom who's made the effort to make gluten free treats, you know how expensive many health food brands can be. That's why I'm sharing this recipe from Gluten Free Rice Krispies.
Not too long ago, Kellogg's came out with a gluten free version of their classic cereal made from brown rice. Even though I'm pretty loyal to my favorite GF brown rice cereal, I gave Gluten Free Rice Krispies a try and was surprised how tasty they were. While they're not organic like my other favorite brand, the ingredient list is pretty straightforward – just brown rice, sugar and some salt.
Better yet, you have to love the price, especially if you can stock up during a Kellogg's sale (and use coupons!) at your favorite discount grocery chain. With the price of groceries increasing, it's nice to know that gluten free families can afford something like Gluten Free Rice Krispies on a regular basis.
Gluten Free Rice Krispies Tree Trimmer TreatsTM
I ADORE homemade Rice Krispies treats. They truly are one of my favorite indulgences. This recipe for Rice Krispies Tree Trimmer Treats is sure to be a hit with your kids, whether they're gluten free or not!
Since licorice (as shown above) is NOT gluten free, you could try using strips of fruit leather instead. Or you can forego the loops entirely and "glue" the mini marshmallow on top with a dollop of icing. Also, according to this article, Kraft's Jet Puffed marshmallows do not contain gluten.
- 12 (6-inch lengths) red, gluten free fruit leather, cut into thin strips
- 12 miniature marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 package (10 ounces, about 40) regular marshmallows
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 6 cups Kellogg's Gluten Free Rice Krispies cereal
- Gluten free cooking spray
- Gluten free frosting
- M&M'S brand chocolate candies
- Fold each fruit leather strip in half and push ends through centers of 12 miniature marshmallows. Set aside.
- In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add 10 ounces marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Add Kellogg's Gluten Free Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
- Using 1/2-cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray divide warm cereal mixture into 12 portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into ornament shape around licorice ends. Cool. Decorate with frosting and M&M'S brand chocolate candies. Best if served the same day.
MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 through 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.

About Me
Easy like a sunday morning
Born in Rio de Janeiro, I'm a Brazilian Portuguese teacher and a Brazilian music lover, Im in Siena to study methodologies teaching of language for foreigners. I dont drink nor smoke, but I love parties, Brazilians always find reason to celebrate. I think if I were not a language teacher, I would be a cook; I very like so much cooking for friends at the weekend and create and discovery and try new dishes. I like to give an attention healthy eating and I like also to breaking the diet. I like to run and swim during the day and singing and laughing at night.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
hm, I get high with a little help from my friends
hm, I gonna try with a little hepl from my friends
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Sometimes I have find couchsurfing people in recent years on Rio de Janeiro on our meeting weekly whenever possible, but I have never travel because the studies and never give couch because I dont live near the beach. But I already have recived travelers and students friends in my house to birthday party, meeting or lunch.
I attended some couchsurfing meetings at, Copacabana, Rio, recent years. Have never trevel or give couch. Lacked time maybe, I have wish study.
Every types of music, all segments, irrespective of importance. It needs only touch us. Social issues always caught my attention, necessary struggles and campaings for human rights lot often touch me.

Music, Movies, and Books
Bebel Gilberto, Marina Lima, Maria Bethânia, Ivete. In Brazil literature and music's history blends. We have 500 years of a very very great country, poor people and so so much songs, noises, sounds, instruments. Create music and new songs and parties, even before major adversities, is the Brazilian nature, our way of life.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Observing anybody arrives in my country without saying just one word in Portuguese and see hir/her learning and development and can communicating himself/herself with my language is for me a great prid and hapyness. There are histories, drinks, laughs, sun passing over friends. Have made great friends also let me always always so much happy.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some Portuguese word or teach to cut an onion without crying, I can show how we give a party or carnival or how to peel garlic quickly and easily without a knife. But everything all we do needs be funny and we have always save good memories together, otherwise not worth it.

Norwich's Bridge House pub gets new name and makeover as Lollard's Pit
PUBLISHED: 06:30 06 June 2012 | UPDATED: 08:44 18 June 2012
It's a famous site in Norwich and now the people running a revamped city pub are hoping to use its history to help bring in the customers.
The former Bridge House pub in Riverside Road is built on the site of a place of execution for heretics and other offenders in the 16th century.
The site, therefore, has always been known to locals as Lollard's Pit, and now the newly reopened pub has also adopted the name.
There's even an impressive new sign hanging outside the pub portraying a group of Protestant martyrs going up in flames, to add to the existing plaque on the wall marking the spot.
Assistant pub manager Mario Elia said: "Since we changed the name of the pub and put up the new signs, we have been getting loads of interest from people.
"People in Norwich know the pub as the Lollard's Pit, even though it's never officially been known as that.
"I was not really into history before I came here, but I'm falling in love with the place and its history."
The new pub, which is privately owned, is open daily throughout the City of Ale event, a 10-day celebration of pubs and brewing in Norwich, which started on Thursday, May 31, and runs until Sunday, June 10.
It will then only be open on weekends before the official opening on July 6. After that, the pub will be open daily.
The Evening News has been urging people to return to pubs in our Love your Local campaign.
To see more stories from the campaign visit eveningnews24.co.uk/loveyourlocal.

Pension funds in Central Europe and Russia : their prospects and potential role in corporate governance
Social pension systems in most countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union face severe financial pressure. Aging populations are increasing that pressure, which stems mainly from in the%design in the %in the flaws and incompatible incentives in the systems. The authors describe the features of the ion systems that have led to the current dire predicament: a big discrepancy between system and demographic dependency ratios, unsustainable targeted replacement rates, the high contribution rates needed, growing evasion, and growing deficits. Radical basic reform is inevitable, they say, but may not be politically feasible or even advisable in the short run. After reviewing experience in other countries, they conclude that restructuring and downsizing the social ion system will leave adequate but affordable (thus sustainable) benefits and will allow for the creation and growth of private pension funds. The shortcomings of company-based defined benefit plans (limited portability, restricted vesting, inadequate funding) suggest that transitional economies should opt in the longer run for non-employer, defined contribution plans based on individual capitalization accounts with full immediate vesting, full portability, and full funding. To cope with the need for a targeted replacement rate, such schemes could operate with variable contribution rates, reset each year in accord with the salary growth of each worker, the cumulative investment return on his/her acount, and the targeted pension benefit. Once private pension funds are established, long-term financial resources should accumulate rapidly. They can then play a major role in modernizing securities markets, stimulating innovation, fostering better accounting and auditing standards, and promoting more disclosure of information. They could also greatly help improve corporate governance and the monitoring of corporate performance. Their"voice"in corporate affairs could be exercised more effectively through collective bodies. They could thus help create more robust structures of corporate governance, lower monitoring costs, and avoid the problems caused by"free riding".

Caligari and CADopia Partner on Customized trueSpace(August 13, 2001)
trueSpace for IntelliCAD is a conceptual design tool with photorealistic rendering, animation, and modeling tools, and supports import and export of CAD/CAM industry standard IGES, SAT and STL formats.
trueSpace for IntelliCAD Features
** Photorealistic rendering produces life like images of designs with precise lighting controls and environments. Rendering supports hybrid raytracing, image-based lighting, and advanced post process editors as well as shadows, fog, motion blur, depth of field and physically accurate, goniometric lights.
** Animation controls and capabilities not found in most CAD programs like keyframing for lights, textures, cameras, objects and geometry features, down to the vertex level. This includes hierarchical key-frame editor with spline paths and function curves as well as scripting and the ability to control virtually any object.
** Flexible Material Editing and application of materials and textures with mapping control down to individual faces. Offers user-friendly 3D Paint and easy creation of layered materials right in the material editor.
** Advanced modeling tools, include editing of individual faces, edges and vertices, surface deformations, boolean operators, and surface subdivision.
** Complete set of NURBS tools, including all Sweeps, Rails, Lofts, Skinning and Cross-sections. NURBS can be combined with stitching and blending and cut with trimming curves. All this happens in real time, in perspective. During editing, surfaces are fully transparent, making it easy to select control vertices and see edit changes precisely.
** Fully integrated visual asset libraries with universal Drag-&-Drop. Any element in a project, including a 2D or 3D objects, lights, materials, image, scene, collection of tools, configurations, etc. is represented by its preview image in the library and launched with a click. Use Image Browser to drag your visual assets into the scene or asset libraries, then simply drag materials from the library onto any object.
** Customize your current working configuration with any set of views, floating toolbars and individual tools, then simply drag your current configuration into a library, for future use.
** Context Based Editing in trueSpace for IntelliCAD is simple and straightforward -- you only see the tools applicable in the current context. By right clicking on a selected object you can perform editing operations relevant for that object. Each window is completely resizable and traditional 4-views are available.
** Manipulate Geometry Easily using the Magic Ring widget to draw parameterized 2D and 3D primitive shapes interactively in your workspace. The selector cage allows direct manipulation of your objects placement, orientation and scale. The Draw Panel allows you to perform any 2D operation with its own mini window inside your 3D workspace. Tri-View Panel extends the Draw Panel into the 3rd dimension so you can draw your profiles, rails and cross sections in the same visual context where you drew the original curve. You can also trace images for advanced interactive skinning in all three orthogonal planes at once. While in this mode, you have full access to the construction history of edited objects.
** Real Time Implementation of Subdivision Surfaces provides total control of smooth organic surfaces.
** Powerful Generalized Primitives provide an unlimited number of basic and custom starting shapes for creating design concepts.
** Precise object placement. In addition to grids, collision detection and the magnetic tool, trueSpace for IntelliCAD includes a full complement of snapping tools such as snap to vertex, grid, edge or face.
trueSpace for IntelliCAD requires a Pentium II CPU (Pentium III recommended), Windows 95/98/2000/NT, 64MB RAM, and 50MB of free hard disk space. For optimum performance, 128MB RAM and a 3D accelerator are recommended.
