Schylur played his role to the end. Props to him! Roxy is a piece of work!! Who are Rex's parents for heaven's sake??
Ford is a total pervert!! He is sickening! I want marty and John to have their baby! They are an adorable couple! Starr and Cole have become boring but I want them to stay together. Don't let Markko be such a sap. He is too sweet for that. If Langston wants to get played don't drag Markko along for the ride.
ford needs to leave langston alone and she needs to leave him alone because he doesnt care about nobody but him self i feel sorry for langston because she is ruining her life i think ford is a jerk and a player. and langston doesnt need to be hurtin.................................................. marco like that she shouldnt be doin that to him he loves her and only want the best for herr
Ford is not a great character. I don't think he should leave the show, I just think he needs to get away from Langston!
Ford needs to go. Although I'm female and use to be a TA I think that it makes a bad rap for TA's to have Ford do what he's doing. He needs to get caught and get out of there. I'm sick of Mitch Lawrence the man with 1000 lives. Give me a break!! I have to give it to him though he is a great actor and plays his part awesome. Great soap though.
I agree that Mitch is a great actor, but am tired of story line.
Alision is a goon

The Miami Dolphins swiped their biggest rival's tight end, signed a coveted receiver and courted a top-flight corner Friday. But for all their news from a busy Day 4 of free agency, one storyline loomed above all others. JAKE JAKE JAKE That's no random fan's opinion. It's Richie Incognito's take. Hours after the Dolphins further bolstered their revamped offense — signing tight end Dustin Keller and receiver Brandon Gibson — Jake Long returned from a three-day visit with the Rams. He did so without a new contract. That kept the door open for Long, the team's left tackle the past five years, to re-sign with the Dolphins. And his friends who don't want Long to leave put the screws to him on Twitter on Friday night. Incognito, the Pro Bowl left guard, started a digital campaign to keep him in town "It's time for the big guy to come home to the @MiamiDolphins," he wrote. Said center Mike Pouncey: "I want Jake Long back in MIAMI!!! #enoughsaid."

My girlfriend and I stayed here on Thanksgiving night after spending the holiday with my family on the way back to her home. We were very pleased with... the quality and comfort of the room, it was very clean and quiet. Breakfast was good, though it would have been better if it was served until later. 9am is pretty early for breakfast to be done, especially if you are on a leisurely trip where you don't need to leave early. Hotel is located next to a 24 hr Wawa, nearby are several pharmacies, and other businesses. I would recommend this hotel and would return again in the future! af Mike McGuire fra New Jersey den 02/12/2013

Pretty fun trails with no real elevation change. Like most trails, showing some sign of deterioration but still in good shape. Great choice for three or four visits a year, well marked reasonably flowing fun trails.
I have been riding the FOMBA trails for a year now since moving to New Hampshire. The trails range in length from 0.6 to 3 miles. Most of them are tight, twisty, rocky, rooty singletrack with little overall elevation gain, but steep ups and downs while navigating terrain features. 2 of the trails have decent flow to them (Hemlock and Woodpecker). My girlfriend loves these and I agree they are probably the most overall fun to ride. The others require you to fight for almost every inch of travel. They are still fun, and definitely will build your skill as a mountain biker. However, if you are used to trails that allow you to really get into a good groove, these will be frustrating at times. Fire Line and Long Trail are the two longest and will feel like 2 and 3 of the longest miles you will spend on your bike. All the trails are well marked with signs and there is a good map at the kiosk. Lots of parking available. You will never be more than a mile or so from your car if it starts to rain or if you break something important on your bike. When in the area, if you want to add some fire roads and snowmobile trails for distance, the Rockingham trail runs right next the FOMBA trails and Tower Hill Pond offers a relaxing loop on snowmobile trails (not at all technical).
Great trails. Tons of fun at any speed and good in any direction. Worth a drive to check them out.

Argentinian Wine Reviews
At first very quiet, the flavors expand like a peacock. Increasingly fun and rich, it brings eucalyptus and mocha first, then crushed blackberries with a wave of soft round tannins. Complexity is layered into the mix with wet leather, rain, and tobacco. A little serious, a lot of Argentinian wine fun.

CWV sells Anaglypta wallpaper brand
The British wallcovering brand, which celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, was sold to Erfurt MAV for an undisclosed sum last month.CWV has worked closely with Lincolnshire firm Erfurt MAV for a number of years to supply the embossed wallcoverings, since stopping its own production of Anaglypta in 2006.
As a result, Blackburn-based CWV believes the sale is the next step in securing the future of the Anaglypta brand. CWV managing director Martin Kellaway explained: "The sale of the Anaglypta business is the logical conclusion of our cooperation with Erfurt MAV and will allow the continued development of the Anaglypta brand, securing the future of the iconic embossed wallpapers that have been a familiar feature of UK decorating for 125 years."
CWV explained that the sale will allow it to focus all resources on its remaining fashion wallcovering brands, Crown, Vymerol, Coloroll and Lincrusta, adding that it is "energetically pursuing opportunities for growth".

Is it OK to sleep 11 hours on weekends and 5-6 on weekdays? - Daemon
Our bodies (and minds) need a certain amount of sleep each night to function at their best. Although you might feel great on Monday after a weekend sleepfest, all that shuteye won't help your performance the rest of the week.
Here's why:
Our bodies can only catch up on sleep. They can't store extra sleep to help us function in the days ahead. If you sleep a lot over the weekend but go back to skimping on Monday night, your body won't be at its best on Tuesday. You may not notice you're tired, but you won't be operating at your peak — and if you continue this pattern all week, your body will be seriously dragging by Friday.
How will this affect you? Sleep fuels our daily activities, whether it's doing well on tests, competing in sports, mastering skateboard tricks, concentrating while driving, or improving video game skills. That's why experts recommend that teens get 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep a night.

Not everyone has fallen in love with LatAm's domestic demand story. For equity investors, finding the turning point is the route to success – even for unloved large caps
At the start of the year, few international portfolio managers would have named Petrobras their favorite stock. The oil firm's weak equity performance had for many months weighed down portfolios and fund managers had resorted to underweighting its shares.
But in single a day in early March, news of a diesel price increase and new oil finds pushed its share price up 15%. The underweights were left out in the cold.
Petrobras's sudden reversal of fortune is unlikely to impact the underlying trend in equity investing in Latin America, where in recent years large cap stocks have largely fallen from favor. Investors have instead flocked to consumer industries, favoring them to metals, mining and oil, on the promise of Latin America's burgeoning middle class.
Yet as Petrobras shows, there are still returns to be found – even among industrial giants, Brazilian corporates, and non-consumer sectors – but only when stocks become cheap enough to buy again. A range of fund managers interviewed by LatinFinance say they are now grappling with identifying precisely that point.
Dean Newman, manager of Invesco Perpetual's $890 million Latin America Fund, which ranks fourth in this year's scorecard, says that in Brazil, there is a contrast between the "mega cap" stocks such as Petrobras and Vale; banks, which have performed poorly in recent years, but where the valuations look cheap; and domestic companies, which outperformed, but where the valuations are no longer cheap.
"It's going to be a big call for all of us investing in Latin America," he says. "We are in a bit of the transition towards putting money into those bigger companies. They look cheap."
Managers are quick to rattle off their concerns about Brazil. These include: requirements for locally produced inputs in industry; taxes; exchange rate uncertainty; low growth; and inflation.
Adam Kutas, portfolio manager at Fidelity, says his skepticism on Brazil dates back to late 2010: when the country was named host of the 2016 Olympics, valuations leapt "off the charts" for a number of companies.
"I was already feeling uncomfortable regarding earnings expectations," he says.
"That was the first time I could create a bear case on Brazil, having been visiting the country since 2000."
The fund lightened up on Brazil, focusing instead on Chilean and Mexican stocks. "Last year the big risk that emerged was political risk in various sectors. It manifested itself more significantly than expected," says Kutas. "Valuations now are better, but the fundamentals are still mixed at best. Brazil is still a country in transition."
Despite their concerns, the best performing funds in LatinFinance's 2013 equity investor scorecard still have heavy allocations to Brazil. As the largest market by a long way, investors need plenty of conviction for any other country to dominate their portfolio.
But the allocations go beyond simply falling in line with the index. The country's low growth and lackluster indicators may offer a potential entry point. Christopher Palmer, director of global emerging markets at Henderson, says that while "Brazil is a problem" it is "also probably a buy, because of the depth of the problems".
"Sometimes it's best to invest when things looking a bit uncertain," he says, adding that the administration is now demonstrating its commitment to addresses underlying economic problems. "The best time to buy other global emerging markets was when people weren't so sure about things: when Colombia was emerging from the FARC problems; Peru, when president Humala was elected. People had a lot of concerns, but we've moved on from there."
Fidelity's Kutas also looks for opportunities to pick up stocks when others take fright. His fund holds stocks for around five years on average – trading costs can be high and liquidity can be tough in these markets, he says. That contrasts with the strategy of many crossover investors who play for quick growth rather than long-term value. The volatility those accounts create can present opportunities, he says.
"I try to be cognizant of how fundamentals and valuations look relative to global peers and developed markets," says Kutas. "When these investors exit they're very price insensitive."
Worries that surfaced about Brazilian utility companies in 2012 are one example. "That can create a lot of downside momentum, but if you know the companies and the fundamentals, you can pick up stocks at fire sale prices."
Mexico sits at the other end of the spectrum. The best performing equity fund managers are upbeat about the country's economic fundamentals.
"One can have a high degree of confidence that Mexico will do the right thing from an orthodox fund manager perspective," says Invesco's Newman. "If they have to take a tough decision, they will take it."
Still, only a fifth of his fund is invested in Mexican stocks – compared to nearly two thirds in Brazilian ones. That is an underweight of the MSCI benchmark, and reflects relative valuations. "Some [Mexican] stocks are a bit expensive – you have to focus hard on stock selection," says Newman. "In Brazil, the aggregate market is cheap. It's generally unloved by international investors and sentiment is poor. That creates an opportunity. If valuations are cheap and sentiment negative, it doesn't take too much improvement in the news to move things the other way."
Consumer bias
A rapidly expanding middle class has put Latin America's consumer sectors in favor. Henderson's Gartmore Latin America fund was overweight consumer staples at the end of February. Brazilian banks Bradesco and Itaú Unibanco accounted for over 12% of the fund's allocation, while Pão de Açúcar, América Móvil, Ambev and Coca-Cola FEMSA were also among its 10 largest investments. "Right now our favorite sectors in LatAm revolve around the consumer," says Palmer, who manages the $1 billion fund.
"So that would be straight sector – we're overweight the consumer. We had been adding more money to financials in recent months and mainly in property related areas – real estate developers and real estate investment companies, like REITS or companies with REIT-like characteristics."
That strategy is one that others echo. Henderson's fund is underweight materials. Others are similarly bearish. JPMorgan's Latin America fund had a 9.6% allocation to materials at the end of February, in contrast to a 26% allocation to consumer staples and discretionaries, and 31% in financials.
JPMorgan allocates its Latin America fund according to expectations on how the region will look over the next five to 10 years. In 2010, the firm took a view that China's structural slowdown would have a long-term impact on Latin American economies, says portfolio manager Luis Carrillo. Heavy demand for natural resources from Latin America would wane as the Asian nation rebalanced its economy.
"As that transition happens we expect less consumption of raw materials," says Carrillo.
In the past, the Latin American equity index has resembled the commodities index. "That's not necessarily the best way to have exposure to the Latin America of the future," says Carrillo.
Today, rising domestic consumption is buoying GDP growth across the region. That is likely to push commodities out of the picture as the main economic driver — and alter the make-up of the index.
"Smaller companies not even part of the index today will become part of the index in the future," says Carrillo. "The bigger components today, the commodities firms, will be a smaller percentage the index in the future. We expect the index in the future to resemble more the GDP make-up today."
But not everyone loves LatAm's consumer story. Fidelity's Kutas worries that consumption in Brazil is driven by credit, and adding to inflation.
Although Fidelity's Latin America fund is overweight consumer staples and financials, it allocates just 2.79% to consumer discretionary companies. That's a sharp underweight of the 5.34% allocation in the fund's benchmark, the MSCI EM Latin America.
"The average guy walking down the street in São Paulo has never seen these rates before," says Kutas. "The ability to borrow is a lot better than it has been. But that can also put pressure on food and oil prices, which are very important for the average consumer. Pressure on the consumer from inflation is not reflected in many of the consumer discretionary stocks today."
Fundamental analysis
Beyond sector favorites and geographical bias, the top managers say they prefer to focus on the performance potential of individual companies. That involves examining the company's strategy and its management team.
Nicholas Morse, who manages Schroders' Latin America Equity Investment fund, says he looks for management teams that understand their industry well enough to anticipate upcoming trends.
"We try to find companies that are well run and that are winners in their sectors," says Morse. "If you find a well-run company that can continue to add value and think cleverly within the sector, you can do well."
The detailed, bottom-up approach has the fund weighted differently to some other top performers. It was underweight consumer staples, and marginally overweight materials, at the end of February, for example. But it has driven impressive returns: averaging 3.4% annually over the past three years, the fund is fifth in LatinFinance's scorecard.
"A lot of the companies we have are domestically orientated and have higher than average return on capital employed," says Morse.
"They might well trade at a premium to the market, but they have normally significantly better earnings growth than the peers in their sectors."
Realistic on returns
As portfolio managers jostle for next great performing Latin stock – scrutinizing spreadsheets and investigating on the ground – alarm bells are being sounded on investor expectations.
JPMorgan's Carrillo says that as economies mature, the risk-reward balance will change. "I don't think that the Latin America of the future is anything at all like the Latin America of the past," he says.
"The risk has changed a lot. In 2000, we had basically one country that was investment grade. Now every country is investment grade. The level of risk has changed, so it's difficult to get the same valuations of the 1990s. Some are looking at Latin America with expectation of 30%, 40% [annual] performance. We see something closer to 10%."
Henderson's Palmer is similarly cautious on the scope for outsized returns. It is "incredibly tough" to beat the benchmark over the longer term, he warns.
"It's interesting to see how many managers feel that they have cracked the code and can take big benchmark-related risks and somehow feel that they're going to outwit the benchmark," he says. "As time has shown us, it's really tough." LF

This spring/summer, the new trend is the "flatform". It's pretty much what it sounds like:
They are basically a flat sandal/shoe on a platform.
In theory, I could understand the appeal. A extra height without the pain of putting your weight on the balls of your feet sounds pretty great. But I don't think I can get over the physical appearance of looking like you have a pair of bricks attached to your feet. Sure, maybe I can picture them on the beach, along with rubber high-heeled flip flops. But in the city? I think not. Some flatforms are a little less extreme than others, like these by Nicole (photo from Piperlime.com):
I may consider wearing them if there was at least a 1.5" arch.
As I write this, I think I actually owned a pair that would be considered a "flatform" when I was in my early 20s. LOL! I remember when I tossed them out after a few years thinking how incredibly ugly they were. How in the world did my BFF let me buy these? If I had know they'd be all the rage ten years later, I would have kept them...or not.
What do you ladies think of the flatform? Will you be adding them to your Spring/Summer wardrobe this year?

With the June 22 release of the J3500, Motion Computing has once again demonstrated a keen ability to cram loads of capabilities into a tablet-PC form factor.
The Austin, Texas-based slate maker on Tuesday unveiled the J3500 Tablet PC, with options including a dual-core Intel Core i7 vPro, Intel Ultimate-N WiFi and Wacom WXGA Touch and Pen Digitizer. Its devices cater to professionals in health care, construction, warehousing, government and anywhere that rugged mobile computing is called for.
The unit received by the CRN Test Center for review was also loaded with 32-bit Windows 7 Professional running on an Intel Core i7 Duo 1.2 GHz processor, 4 GB of DDR3 memory and Windows 7 Dual Touch capability. The bright 12.1-inch display is shock mounted and an accelerometer warns the 1.8-inch, 160-GB (a new high) hard drive of impending agitation. Built around a magnesium chassis, the J3500 carries a NEMA rating for dust and moisture ingress protection of IP52. Other options include Gobi 2000 Mobile Broadband and Corning's scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass.
Perhaps most impressive of the test results was the J3500's battery life, which approached four hours of continuous video playback. Not bad for an i7-based system with power saving features disabled. Credit for this relatively long up-time goes to the unit's dual batteries, which also account for one of its relatively heavy 4.25 pounds. Remember, there's no keyboard, track pad or optical disc drive. A small power brick and 30-inch "Mickey Mouse" (C-5) style AC cord add nine ounces to the travel weight. A right-angle cannon plug connects DC to the left side of the tablet and doesn't unduly protrude. Both batteries have charge gauges, but cannot be charged away from the mother ship.
Not surprising for an i7, the J3500 runs hot. After two hours of continuous operation, the screen radiated 104 degrees at its hottest, about 94 elsewhere, and some areas of the back reached as high as 114 degrees. It consumed 78 watts while running and charging. And for an i7-equipped system, the J3500 turned in a mediocre Geekbench score of 3130. In our book, Windows 7 also scores poorly as a tablet operating system. Even with its dual-touch capability, the operating system itself still behaves best with point-and-click.
Still, for its intended user -- the health-care provider, inventory clerk or field operator -- the CRN Test Center recommends the J3500 Tablet PC, particularly for purpose-built applications for enterprise and government.
There's a dedicated button for locking the system, and a fingerprint scanner can be tapped for opening it up again. A rubberized backside affords a steady grip.
List pricing starts at $2,299, and we suggest adding the portable (and spill resistant) keyboard/track pad dock for $149. But if the plan is to pitch the Windows-based tablet as a replacement for an iPad, customers will likely be disappointed; it's not running an Apple OS, screen orientation doesn't automatically change and there's no protection from accidentally powering on the unit in your bag. On the upside, it does run Flash.

Lewis Hamilton is refusing to let his Valencia retirement get to him, insisting it's all in the past.
The McLaren driver failed to see the chequered flag at the European GP when he was thumped into the wall on the penultimate lap by Williams' Pastor Maldonado. The two had been tussling over third place.
And although the DNF meant Hamilton dropped to third in the Drivers' Championship, the Brit says there is still a long way to go before the title is decided.
"I just move forward. It's in the past, it doesn't really matter now," he told Reuters Television.
"I'm still in the battle for the title, there's still a long, long way to go and I've been massively consistent all the way up until here and in terms of my preparation and my approach I will continue to keep the same.
"It's not as if I drove into the wall on my own. I didn't make the mistake on my own so I think I will just continue to do what I'm doing and try and stay out of trouble more."
Looking ahead to the British Grand Prix, Hamilton reckons Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel will be his main rival for the victory.
Vettel was flying in last Sunday's European Grand Prix and easily ahead of the field by 20 seconds before the Safety Car came out. Moments after the race restarted, though, the Red Bull driver's RB8 broke down due to an overheated alternator.
Despite not claiming the victory, Vettel was undoubtedly the driver to beat in Valencia and Hamilton reckons he will be running up front again at Silverstone.
This time, though, the McLaren driver is out to ensure the German stays behind him.
"I don't think we can be too surprised just because we've seen the rate of their development over the last couple of years," Hamilton told Sky Sports News.
"Of course to see him pull away so far - he was pulling over a second a lap - that was astonishing for me, but then again I wasn't really that fast so it wasn't like I was in the previous race.
"So hopefully in the next race we'll have a much better chance of keeping with him, if not being ahead of him.
"We've got hopefully some upgrades coming, the car felt pretty good in the simulator so I hope that we have a fighting chance to make the nation proud."
The Brit, though, downplayed the impact of racing at home, insisting he will be racing as hard for the victory next Sunday as he would at any other track.
"It doesn't really alter the way I go racing because I race to win, and that's what I'll be doing, especially at my home grand prix," he said in his team's preview.
"The Santander British Grand Prix is special because I get a massive boost from all the fans. To me, winning at Silverstone is right up there with winning at Monaco. Standing on the top step of the podium in 2008 was among the sweetest moments of my career.
"I know we can count on the fans to bring a totally unique atmosphere. We're going to give it everything we've got, put on a great show. I will be doing everything possible to get a win for my country on home soil."

It happens quite often that developers get into a rage about games that don´t live up to the true indie spirit and instead just go for the fast buck. Using cheap methods to gain attention instead of creating games that are awesome enough to stick out with brillance.
One developer that for sure is not the kind going for a fast buck is James Silva from Ska Studios – and with hit titles like I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1NIT!!!1 or The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai under his belt his games certainly stick out through brillance. The fast buck is just the result … and he has earned it. Lately he wrote a nice article about the honor behind creating real indie games – or the lack thereof with so many titles that recently hit the Xbox Live Indie Games channel.
Read his very interesting rant right after the "MORE" button (or you might miss his cute (or something) drawing!).

If Randle is so "unprepared" what does that say about Jernigan? Why wouldn't he be considered to help fill the void?
If Randle is so "unprepared" what does that say about Jernigan? Why wouldn't he be considered to help fill the void?
bc we have a guy who gives us what JJ might be able to give us; Cruz out of the slot.
If Nicks AND Barden are out, we need someone to fill in his role, and thats Randle
Jernigan wasn't as a high a pick as randle. That and the fact the Jernigan hasn't done squat tells me he isn't the player we thought we drafted. It happens.
Was thinking same thing...Plus the fumbles have put him in Coughlin's dog house and he is low enough on the depth chart...it won't matter how much talent he has ...he's in a tough place in Coughlin's eyes....mark my words he's going to force some people on here to eat crow
1st to use the phrase "In Reese we trust"
Jernigan was drafted to be the replacement for Steve Smith in the slot. Unfortunately for him, we have a slot receiver coming off a 1500 yard season and is now on pace for that once more. Tough break and he would probably only see the field if Cruz was injured.
2014 Giants Mock (Assuming Nicks is let go)
1. Anthony Barr, 'Leo', Clemson
2. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
3. Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio
3. Yawin Smallwood, LB, Connecticut
4. Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon
5. Rashaad Reynolds, CB, Oregon State
6. JaWaun James, OT, Tennessee
We got bigger fish to fry boys than worrying about Jernigan. Right now he's a non-factor at a position of strength. One just has to hope that as with other backups he's putting in his work, learning to be a pro, improving his game so that if/when his number is called he's ready to make something happen.
I understand it just seems that Randle is not ready to play at this level. They guy doesn't have a clue what he is doing and his work habits are not very good. I hope I am wrong but we will see if Randle can step it up. They will sure double Cruz and make it tough on the passing game again.

Menino's statement on the flu outbreak

BOSTON (WHDH) -- Boston's mayor released a statement Wednesday on the flu outbreak:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino this morning declared a public health emergency in Boston as the latest reports show an increasingly severe flu season. Since October 1, the unofficial start of the flu season, there have been approximately 700 confirmed cases of flu among Boston residents, a ten-fold increase when compared to the 70 cases confirmed all of last flu season. The flu season in Boston typically stretches through the end of March. Mayor Menino and the Boston Public Health Commission are working with community health centers around the city to offer free vaccination clinics this weekend.
"This is the worst flu season we've seen since 2009, and people should take the threat of flu seriously," Mayor Menino said. "This is not only a health concern, but also an economic concern for families, and I'm urging residents to get vaccinated if they haven't already. It's the best thing you can do to protect yourself and your family. If you're sick, please stay home from work or school."
Flu cases are now accounting for over 4 percent of all emergency department visits at Boston hospitals, compared to about 1 percent during non-influenza season. Of influenza cases reported to date in Boston residents, 25 percent have been ill enough to require hospitalization. Since October 1, four Boston residents, all seniors, have died from flu-related illnesses. Certain people, including the elderly, young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease or other conditions), are at greater risk for serious illness if they get influenza. Some individuals may not be at risk for severe illness themselves, but can transmit the infection to their families, friends, and patients.
The Boston Public Health Commission is urging people to contact their primary care doctor to get a flu vaccination, which can be administered as a shot or as a nasal spray. Everyone 6 months and older should be vaccinated against influenza. Boston residents that need help finding where to get vaccinated can contact the Mayor's Health Line at 617-534-5050 from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday, or the Mayor's 24-hour Hotline at 617-635-4500 after hours.

In October 12,124 Volvo trucks were delivered, an increase of 21% compared with the same month last year.
In Volvo Trucks' latest live test film 'The Epic Split', Hollywood action star Jean-Claude Van Damme performs one of his world-famous splits between two Volvo FM trucks as they are driven in reverse. However, the incredible stunt – a world first – was only made possible by Volvo Dynamic Steering.
Volvo Trucks' new Volvo FE and Volvo FL are easier to drive in urban environments than ever before. This promise is based on years of testing and product development. To guarantee efficiency and maximum driver comfort, everything has been tested – from steering wheel and mirror vibration to engine noise levels.
In September 10,896 Volvo trucks were delivered, an increase of 26% compared with the same month last year.
In Volvo Trucks' new film 'The Chase', the Volvo FL distribution truck faces the ultimate test. In the film the truck is chased by bulls in a race through the medieval Spanish town of Ciudad Rodrigo. "It's incredible that you can get a truck this size through a town this small," says precision driver Rob Hunt.
In August 7,590 Volvo trucks were delivered, an increase of 6% compared with the same month last year.
The film "The Hamster Stunt" has been a major success on Youtube and has been viewed more than 3.4 million times in just one week. It shows how the new Volvo FMX, equipped with Volvo Dynamic Steering, is steered by a hamster on rough, twisting tracks in a quarry.
A year after launching 'The Ballerina Stunt', Volvo Trucks is back with a series of new stunts. After the revelation of 'The Hook' comes the next film: 'The Hamster Stunt'. Here the aim is to demonstrate how easy it is to steer a Volvo FMX equipped with Volvo Dynamic Steering by letting a hamster guide the truck up the side of a Spanish quarry.
A year, almost to the day, after its spectacular launch, the new Volvo FH was elected International Truck of the Year 2014 by leading commercial vehicle journalists, representing 25 magazines throughout Europe. The Truck of the Year award was received by Volvo Trucks' President Claes Nilsson at a ceremony at the Comtrans exhibition in Moscow yesterday evening.
Volvo Trucks has created a new clothing collection inspired by the company's latest truck model for heavy construction duties – the Volvo FMX. The collection is a part of a newly launched partnership between Volvo Trucks and ninefold arm wrestling world champion Heidi Andersson.

The 29% drop in road traffic policing levels over the past decade suggests that road safety is being neglected by the police. Possibly connected to this is a fall in convictions for serious and slight motoring offences, which have dropped faster than the decline in road casualties.
This means bad driving is going unpunished or that many bad drivers are being issued with lenient sentences that do not reflect the severity of the offence.
The lorry driver who hit Mary Bowers in November last year as she waited at a traffic light in an advanced stop box was sentenced last Friday (14/12/12) to an eight month driving ban and a £2,700 fine. This sentence has been termed 'insulting' by Mary's father, who would have preferred to see the driver convicted of dangerous rather than careless driving offence, correctly reflecting the danger of his actions.

Oh Bio! I love that the moniker of this lovely little* restaurant–which I reviewed for its pastries once before here–can dually serve as an exclamatory greeting or a coddling remark of affection. And oh, what saccharine fondness I have for any place of business that provides authentic vegan crêpes and pastries in such a city bloated by the dairy-filled variety. It wasn't what you'd call a hard lunch sell to my two friends Rachel and Lizzy.
After a few tensely awkward moments of Oh Bio!'s cashier directly staring at our party ("Je t'attends") as we pensively mulled over ensuing food choices, we nervously placed our orders and retreated to the cramped upstairs dining area to wait for aforementioned edibles. And, naturally, to communally gripe about the rude cashier; we did have a duty to represent our heritage as Loud Obnoxious Americans to international admirers, after all.
My friend Rachel (remember her?) ordered this curried buckwheat crêpe with asparagii and other veggies; apologies, as I have very little descriptive prose to offer as I myself never tasted a forkful. I was originally given this by our server and was a not-remotely-tiny bit sad to have the plate mishap remedied a few moments later. That's saying something, I gander.
Although my goulash crêpe is now suffering from a ever-growing inferiority complex, I'm here for damage control: the crêpe was perfectly… copacetic. Don't sniff out a false aroma of paralipsis here; I truly savored every bite of tofu and veggies swimming in an erubescent mystery sauce with gusto. Hungarian food is alluring in the same sexist way in which foreign women ooze attractiveness to locals: a brazen exoticism and mystery. Satisfactory eating, all around.
Oh Bio! is a stone's throw away from the Pompidou; however, if you claim a proclivity towards hurling damaging object in the holiest of all modern art museums (for mere carnal gratification), I must henceforth request you unsubscribe from my feed. Clichés, man! Who knew the extent of their dangers to society?
I shan't conclude on quasi-threats: Oh Bio! also has a clusterfuck of vegan pastries that are sure to bring forth a trite "kid in a candy store" type of reaction. Come now: if crêpes aren't part of your particular demographic's selling points, surely vegan chocolate éclairs must have some level of sway?
*"Minuscule" was my honest word choice, but the adjective "little" drapes such a pesky truth in a quaint light, wouldn't you concur?
Oh Bio!

Everyone complaining, pleas stop! Lol sorry guys you are acting like a bunch of babies. Jim said if you nerf someone report it, if you don't then you are dqed. What's so hard about that? I have been racing for 12 years, I have nerfed one class 9. One car! I felt bad afterwards lol. You shouldn't nerf at every chance you get. Jim is working his ass off right now. Then he has everyone on here bicthing bout the first rule he lays out for us! What going to happen if BLM makes up some crazy rules Jim has to enforce it and we all act like this? Please if you racing the next race MORE race then give Jim all of your support. I don't appreciate people talking a bunch of crap bout Jim and more. My dad and I support MORE and everything they are doing so YOU can go racing. So in closing please stop your crying.
I love this site.
I was having a boring Sunday.....nothing on TV,....... too hot to work in the yard, ....ran out of beer last night......let's check Race-Dezert !!!!
I was gonna get a comedy on PPV,...maybe "She's Outta My League"....no way,....this is a way better comedy !!!!!
Thanks guys !!!!!
This is why I always say, "Farmers and Dunebuggies !!!!" All we need is a Sippy Hole and some toothless women !!
Swine Flu Recovery Counselor
maybe you dont get it......maybe we dont......what does no bumping to pass have to do with the BLM?????? ill bet it has nothing to do with them......by making this new rule he is going to creat a huge mess after everyrace......so now you catch someone, they wont let you by, you are supposed to stop at the next checkpoint and explain it to them , then somethings going to happen to them? you?......and if you rub someone and they pull over and let you by, you are supposed to report yourself? and the other guy is supposed to report you as well?..........sorry jr, this sounds pretty stupid when its all typed out for you to read, dont you think?.....what a mess.....
In just about every form of motorsport bumping/nerfing/whatever you want to call has been for all practical purpose banned with penalties....
I remember when I raced in class 9 back in the HDRA days sharing the track with the likes of Ivan Steward and others being asked/told by the fast guys "do not try to get out of the way, we will deal with the overtaking".... True to their word THEY went around sometimes in areas that I cringed watching in wonder how they did it. Everytime I got nerfed, it was by cars travelling maybe a whole 3 mph faster than me. Like you said it takes skill, capability and IMH balls .......... BTW blocking will also de dealt with.
It amazes me that something as insignificant as this gets this much attention. No wander some in the media think that off-road racing is a Mad Max kind of culture....
The No bumping rule won't last. It's a part of the sport. Bumping and slamming are two different things but people will use it as leverage if they get beat.
Look all of this is response is because a dillhole that threatened to use his bumper at the next MORE race. Jim knows everyone is watching this sport and wants to do everything in in his power to keep it alive. Everyone needs to chill....

It started in May of last year for Beth Ulibarri, as she would go on the occasional long run.
"I would experience a tingling sensation throughout my lower legs. I described it as feeling like something was tickling my legs from the inside and just figured it was my muscles firing away from the exertion of the run."
Less than a year and many medical tests later, the Albuquerque, New Mexico, resident was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, or MS.
"My biggest struggle has been dealing with the unknown -- questions that do not have answers," she said. "Concern for my children -- will they get this disease as well? Concern for my future. Will I end up in a wheelchair? Concern for how my husband will handle everything to come."
Multiple sclerosis affects about 400,000 Americans and 2 million people worldwide, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It can damage the protective outer lining of nerve cells, making it difficult to control muscular activity.
Ann Romney, scheduled to speak on Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention, has spoken often about her experiences with the disease during the presidential campaign.
Jack Osbourne's recent diagnosis has received a lot of attention as well.
Ulibarri is one of many who shared their stories of struggle and triumph with the iReport community.
She confessed that she worried that the disease would affect her ability to take part in athletic activity.
"One of the first things I did was research athletes who have MS," she said. "I was relieved to find many runners and triathletes who have MS who continue to train and even do amazing things like run marathons and do Ironmans."
Dr. Timothy Vollmer, the director of Neurology Clinical Research at the University of Colorado-Denver, even says that such activity can be beneficial.
"We encourage patients to really think about lifestyle issues, to maximize their activity and exercise, and also to maximize healthy diet, because we now know those things do impact the amount of residual disability people have."
Since she was diagnosed, Ulibarri has completed one marathon and has qualified for the Boston marathon.
"I know that eventually this disease may prevent me from doing things like running marathons, and I will have to accept that as it comes," she said. "For now, I am incredibly grateful for each day I can get out of bed and head out the door."
Beat goes on for music producer diagnosed with MS
As CNN's iReporters showed, no two people afflicted with MS have exactly the same symptoms, and no two people will react to it the same way. While Ulibarri lives her life publicly with MS, others have felt the need to hide their disease.
One such person is an Ohio man who wanted to go by the name of Michael Taylor for this story.
"All I want is to build a career (and) a family, work out and golf. Pretty normal for an active and ambitious 25-year-old," he said. "But I find myself attempting to plan for the future and ask questions. I find myself injecting my leg with medication I know little of, and asking questions on a daily basis."
Taylor has had MS for years but only found out about it earlier this month. So far, he has hidden his MS, over worries that it could hurt his career.
"The fact is that most adult Americans know someone with MS, they just don't know they have MS because they keep it quiet," Vollmer said.

Having pumped their way through New Zealand's electronic music scene since their inaugural performance at the annual Gathering New Year's Eve festival in 1997, Pitch Black have spent the last nine years rousing dance floor punters, generating rave reviews, winning awards and gaining thousands of fans across the world.
Hard to box into a single audio 'genre', Pitch Black is a combination of musical journeys, created by Paddy Free and Michael Hodgson. Their sound is distinctive; ranging from organic ambient beginnings and layered soundscapes to skanking keyboards, cutting acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves, with dub being the glue that holds their sound together. One critic has described them as like "Richie Hawtin meets King Tubby, or Rhythm and Sound in Technicolor".
Their debut album, 'Futureproof', was released in September 1999 and rose to the top of the New Zealand electronic charts, despite no marketing or advertising. Their second album, 'Electronomicon', followed in August 2000, and led to a sell out 30-date tour of New Zealand and Australia. Both albums spawned remix projects, featuring mixes by local luminaries such as International Observer, Epsilon Blue and Downtown Brown.
Their third baby, 'Ape to Angel', was released in New Zealand on October 4th 2004 to critical acclaim. The Ape tour was the biggest yet, with 42 shows across the world, including their debut performances in America. The album was then released in Europe thru Dubmission in July and in America on Waveform in August 2005. Englands DJ Magazine rated it Album of the Month, giving it 5 stars.
Tracks from 'Ape to Angel' have been undergoing the remix treatment of late. The first installment of mixes came out as 'Halfway' in New Zealand in November 2005. This collection featured versions by Bluetech, Antix, peak_shift, Agent Alvin and others. Another selection was released in Japan in July 2006 as 'Halfway from Ape to Angel', which had extra tracks by Youth, Kenji Williams, System 7 and more.
The final collection came out on September 25th 2006, with mixes by International Observer, Red Star, Youth, Alucidnation, son_sine, Module, Bluetech, peak_shift, Minuit and more. Called 'Frequencies Fall' it is out on Dubmission Records or thru iTunes, Beatport and other online stores.
Pitch Black's live show really makes them stand out from the rest of the crowd, both sonically and visually. Their tracks take on an added dynamism and their performances reveal the dialectic behind the band - Paddy wants to do it for the crowd, Michael wants to do it to the crowd. Visually they are in another dimension due to Mike's cutting edge visuals, which he manipulates at the same time as mixing the sound! Not for nothing have they been hailed as the "Hexstatic of New Zealand" and have been warmly embraced by England's Big Chill community - playing 3 times at their annual festival.
Over the years they have also found favour among many DJs, both radio and club, including John Peel (Radio One/BBC), Nick Luscombe (Xfm), Greg Roberts (Dreadzone) and Pete Lawrence (Big Chill). Their music has been used in fashion shows and several films, the latest being the Oscar nominated Whale Rider.
Their new album, 'Rude Mechanicals', came out on Remote Recordings in NZ on August 6th and Australia on September 3rd, on Dubmission Records in Europe and the US on October 27th and finally Wakyo Records in Japan on November 7th.
The first single from 'Rude Mechanicals', '1000 Mile Drift', will be out on July 14th 2008 via iTunes, Beatport and the like, and features remixes from dubmeister International Observer, Poker Flat's Simon Flower and cutting edge Catalan producers Ashton&Barbena.

Pitch Black Not Dead!! Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:37 am Pitch Black Not Dead!! Remix Album, Tours Coming Up Although Paddy and Mike have been keeping a relatively low profile in NZ of late, it does not mean that they have disappeared from the scene completely! Gigging overseas more often than at home, the alleged-Godfathers of Kiwi Electronica have been going hard out in many parts of the world especially the virtual ones. No, this doesn't mean they've become addicted to Second Life, but are taking their music and their careers more and more online. Their tours to Japan and the US late last year were their biggest yet - their 3rd and 5th time playing there, respectively - and will be followed by almost three months of solid touring in both those countries plus the UK and Europe this year from June through to August. Internet download sales has been working well for the band, with (legal!) paid downloads currently averaging 5,000 per month from places as far a field as Finland and Invercargill. The band recently posted one of their tracks, Harmonia, up for remixing on the web, and after the demand for the files crashed not only the download site, but also the server AND the network carrying them, they received 35 fully finished versions! Two of these will be among the tracks on the forthcoming Rude Mechanicals remix album entitled: Rhythm, Sound and Movement (inspired by the lyrics from the title track). Rhythm, Sound and Movement is released digitally worldwide on April 28th, and on CD on May 4th. It features remixes from Kiwi electron-herders International Observer, Simon Flower and Kerretta, American dub-tronica artists Bluetech and Patch, Melbourne-based Deep Fried Dub, plus a wide range of international remixers. The remix album, like Pitch Black themselves, covers a wide variety of styles from ambient through to downbeat dub, up to 4/4 stomping bizniz and full-on drum'n'bass workouts. As a teaser, the remix of Transient Transmissions by Deep Fried Dub will be available for free download on April 14th from Amplifier. Also, seven additional remixes will be available as bonuses for people who buy the whole album as a download. Mike and Paddy's semi-emigration to cyberspace has contributed to keeping the boys busy in other ways. They are currently working in the studio on remixes for International Observer, Friends Electric (UK), and The Laya Project - an album of music from countries affected by the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami that was released last year as a fundraising effort. Paddy is now considered a world authority on live-performance music software Ableton Live, He was flown to Ableton Headquarters in Berlin to give input in developing the software, and Pitch Black frequently give workshops all around the world about live electronic performance. The last ones in London and Amsterdam were standing-room only affairs. Upcoming Gigs: NZ Wellington: Saturday 18th April - Summerset Festival Australia Melbourne: Thursday 4 June Roxannes Sydney: Friday 5 June Void @ Spectrum Brisbane: Saturday 6 June Step Inn Byron Bay: Sunday 7 June Buddha Bar USA Santa Cruz: Friday 12 June - Raindance Festival Southern Washington: Saturday 13 June - Oracle Festival Los Angeles: Tuesday 16 June - Zanzibar San Francisco: Thursday 18 June Fat City Marin County: Friday 19 June Know:Audio Festival Northern California: Saturday 20 June - Stilldream Festival |

Pitch Black release and Aussie tour Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 2:07 pm On the back of a massive year, Kiwi electronic act Pitch Black announce the release of their first two artist albums and a return to Australia for four very special shows. Having wowed us with their 'Rude Mechanical' album in 2007 Pitch Black have decided that the time is right to make their first and second albums 'Future Proof' and 'Electronomicon' available to Aussie fans. Not only have the double-disc recordings been re-mastered so they sound better than the original releases, but they also include a number of hard to find remixes. Paddy Free and Michael Hodgson aka Pitch Black could be best be described as Kiwi Electronic Royalty. They have been blowing crowds away since their first spin back in 1997 and have continued to impress with world-class performances ever since. The Pitch Black sound is a distinct combination of musical journeys ranging from organic ambient beginnings, layered sound scapes to cutting-edge acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves. Their live show is a full-sensory experience with revolutionary visuals like nothing you have seen before, mixed with their signature scorching beats. If you like your electronic music with drive, atmosphere and little shake of imagination thrown in for good measure, you won't want to miss Pitch Black! Catch Pitch Black live on Sat 26th April Groovin The Moo / Maitland Showgrounds, Newcastle NSW Sun 27th April Bald Faced Stag Hotel / Annandale, Sydney NSW (with The Versionaries & Foreign Dub) - tickets: www.moshtix.com Fri 2nd May Hobart Fringe closing party / The Loft, Hobart, TAS Sat 3 May Miss Libertines / Melbourne (with Deep Fried Dub, Systah BB & ShiKung) - tickets: www.moshtix.com |

Pitch Black Turns 10 Posted: Tue Jan 16, 2007 10:02 pm Pitch Black are ten!! On 31st December 1996 Paddy Free and Michael Hodgson played their inaugural gig at The Gathering on Takaka Hill. They rocked up with only two songs that they'd written to date, and played a stonking 40 minute set. "It seems like only yesterday we were bumping down the one-way metal road to the first Gathering" says Mike. "We jammed with samples on top of beats - with my mixing desk way off to one side... but we soon sorted that one out." Since then they have shared the stage with acts such as Coldcut, Kraftwerk and Underworld, and rocked everywhere from small basement clubs to massive stadiums. They have released three albums, three remix discs, and embarked on six world tours. Pitch Black songs have been included on many international compilations, film soundtracks, and they recently licensed tracks for use on CSI: Miami. Their latest project has been the music and sound design for "Cube", a forthcoming game for the Sony PSP developed in New Zealand by Metia Interactive. Having been introduced to each other at a party in 1996 by a mutual friend who said "you two have to talk about music", they did just that. Subsequently Mike turned up at Paddy's house with a 25 minute track and said "can you turn this into a song?" Paddy added his ear for sounds and structure to Mike's dub madness - the likes of which he'd never heard before, Mike said he loved it, and the unique sound of Pitch Black was born. "We come from such totally different musical backgrounds and headspaces" says Paddy. "I love a good pop song and an arrangement that grabs you and takes you away into another world, and Mike is a sonic terrorist who enjoys pushing unfeasibly large subs at people, while melting their brains with the dub". Their inaugural album, Futureproof came out in 1999, and was heralded as "a New Zealand classic" by Loop Magazine. Pavement went even further: "This debut collection wipes the floor with all who have come before and sets a new benchmark by which all future local electronica releases will be measured". Sophomore album Electronomicon was released in 2000 with a sold out NZ tour, to be followed by Ape to Angel in 2004: which earned Album of the Month and five stars from London's DJ Magazine. Applauded not only for their sound, Pitch Black have built a reputation as a live electronic/multimedia act of world standard. Collaborating with computer programmer Ross George, Mike developed the Mideo video sampler for triggering synchronised video to music in real time. Delivering the full-sensory experience has always been central to their gigs, and performing live is fundamental in the development of their music - No accusations of email-checking or "just pressing play" for these men! Both Mike and Paddy mix individual projects into their creative lives, which in turn feeds back into Pitch Black. Mike has been producing experimental music under the name Misled Convoy and producing large format video shows, with ex Kog man Bruce Ferguson, all over the world for clients such as Louis Vuitton, Lancome, NBC, LOreal and Tourism NZ. Paddy's long-term association with Salmonella Dub has seen him act as producer and engineer on their multi-platinum albums One Drop East and Inside The Dub Plates, as well composing soundtracks for Atamira Dance Collective and art installations at the Sydney Biennale. Paddy's debut solo album, a project combining Taonga Puoro (traditional Maori instruments) with electronics will be released this year. Not content to rest on their laurels, 2007 will see Pitch Black busier than ever. A return visit to Japan, more tours to the UK, USA and Europe, and last but not least a new Pitch Black album in September. |

Summary and Book Reviews
Something Red: Summary and book reviews of Something Red by Douglas Nicholas
Something Red is not your run-of-the-mill horror novel, and is more likely to appeal to historical fiction readers than to horror aficionados. Nicholas's beautiful prose, his detailed portrayal of life in medieval England, interesting characters, and underlying supernatural themes make this book a real gem. It's without doubt one of my favorites of the year and I eagerly await the next entry in what I hope will be a series. (Reviewed by Kim Kovacs). Full Review (1236 words). Media Reviews

More on Telecommunications Wiring - Cabling
Most every home has local telecommunications wiring. It generally consists of one or two pairs of coated copper wire. One wire is called the tip, and carries no voltage. The other wire is called the ring, and carries -48 to -52 volts. These wires can be spliced together to provide multiple telephone jacks in any location for any given phone number. The telephone jack in your house is wired to the network interface box on the outside of the building. In some buildings, the network interface is located in the basement. It is where the local phone companys responsibility ends and the consumers begins, unless they have bought a service contract that includes inside wiring. This is the location that either the consumer or the telephone company uses to test the line. The network interface is connected to the pole via a drop line, where it joins hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other cable pairs. This cable leads to the telephone companys central office, where all local telecommunications wiring is terminated. Even if the call is destined to go across the street, it must first go through the central office. Cell phone towers are cabled to the central office. The cables leading to the central office may be underground or on poles. The central office contains computerized switching equipment that records billing information, then routes the call to the appropriate cable to achieve its final destination. The central offices are redundantly networked, meaning that each one is cabled to at least two others. They are also where cell phones, fiber, and DSL connect to fiber optic cables that go to the internet hub, allowing the consumer online access. Communication using a land line, cellular telephone, or internet is an important part of society today, and is all possible due to local telecommunications wiring.
