SHANE SUTTON, the Australian coaching chief of the British cycling team, was put in an induced coma after he suffered bruising to his brain following a road cycling accident in which he also broke his jaw and has suspected broken ribs.
Sutton's brother Gary, head cycling coach of the NSW Institute of Sport and father of young professional road racer Chris, said on Friday that details of the collision with a car were sketchy. But after initially being advised to prepare for the worst, as Shane, 55, was expected to need surgery the family was told his condition had stabilised.
Woken at 1am on Friday by a call from Shane's assistant at British Cycling, Gary said the early news was very distressing.
''We were told it was bleeding on the brain and they were taking him into theatre to operate,'' he said. ''But we've since found out that it's bruising of the brain, and that he's stable but he's still comatose [and they are] keeping an eye on the swelling. It's really a waiting game.''
Shane Sutton's accident occurred within 15 hours of British Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins being hospitalised after a separate collision with a vehicle. Wiggins has been discharged with minor injuries, including bruising to his right hand and ribs, but his Australian mentor is expected to remain in hospital for several days.
Gary Sutton said he was unsure about the circumstances of Shane's accident, but British reports suggest he was on his regular pre-work ride about 9am, near Manchester's velodrome. A spokesman for British Cycling said Sutton could not remember what had happened.
Greater Manchester Police said officers had spoken to the 61-year-old driver of a Peugeot 206. It is understood the rider was between the car and the footpath when they clashed. A witness saw the cyclist lying in the road.
He said he was ''shaking'' and saying he was ''scared'' before being put in an ambulance.
The performance director of British Cycling, Dave Brailsford, told BBC Radio Five Live that Sutton's helmet ''probably saved his life''.
Shane Sutton is Wiggins's coach at professional outfit Team Sky - where his nephew, Chris, is also a member - and is the head coach of the British national cycling team that won 12 medals at the London Olympics in July.
Gary Sutton was due to see his brother in Scotland next week at a track cycling world cup, but is now preparing to fly to Britain on Sunday to visit him in hospital.
''I've been told they're investigating the accident and that there wasn't a mark on the car, apart from on the side mirror which was knocked back and had a few scratches on it,'' Gary said. ''There were no scratches on his bike, and it was very lucky he had a helmet on. That was the information I was given.''
Team Sky said on its website that Wiggins's injuries were ''not thought to be serious and he is expected to make a full and speedy recovery''.
Garage attendant Yasmin Smith, who went to Wiggins's aid, told the BBC: ''I was in the office and I heard a screeching of tyres and a bang. I ran outside and there was a gentleman on the pavement. I didn't realise who it was at first.
''He was in a lot of pain. He actually thought he had broken his ribs. His hands looked bruised and they were curled up a bit. And then his colour changed.''
Wiggins's wife went to the scene while they were waiting for an ambulance, she added. ''His wife [tried to] hug him and he said: 'Don't, my ribs','' Smith said.

Dulce de leche has become such an established cross-over success – easily made at home or store-bought, found in big brand ice cream and even all-American girl scout cookies - that it's hard to remember the excitement when it first hit markets. Until the early nineties, it was the once-in-a-while treat my uncle might bring from business trips to Chile or Peru (where it was introduced to us as manjar blanco) or that a Colombian friend shared from home (where it went by arequipe).
Alfajores – small sandwich cookies traditionally filled with dulce de leche then rolled in coconut or powdered sugar – came later. Popular throughout South America, they're also shaped into large, multi-layered tarts topped with meringue or crushed almonds. A rustic version of the mille-feuille, these sky-high tarts alternately known as alfajor de mil capas or torta de mil hojas can be made from large crumbly crackers or delicate puff pastry.
Using a simple shortbread recipe, this alfajor tart sprinkled with toasted coconut falls somewhere in between. The dough is rolled out into thin, flat discs that, when baked, easily break apart against the dense, caramel filling. Prepared the day ahead, the layers melding together while maintaining crispy edges, it's no less delicious for being perfectly familiar.
Alfajor de Coco
Yield: One 7-inch tart
The sandy, barely-held together texture of these cookie layers can make them tricky to shape. Rolling them between two sheets of parchment or wax paper so they be easily turned and rotated, then chilling them briefly before they're transferred to baking sheets, solves this problem.
8 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups dulce de leche, homemade or store bought (also known as manjarblanco, arequipe)
1/2 cup toasted, shredded coconut
In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar at medium-high speed until it is pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the flour and salt, add to the creamed butter at once, then stir with a wooden spoon or spatula for a couple of turns. Return to the stand and mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated, do not over mix. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces, and cover each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Place one portion of dough between 2 pieces of parchment or wax paper and roll out to a flat disc shape about 1/8-inch thick and 7 inches wide (see cook's note). Return the rolled discs to the refrigerator between layers of parchment and chill until firm again, 15 to 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liner. Working in batches, place chilled discs on prepared baking sheets (2 per sheet) and set them in the upper and lower oven racks. Bake them for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through so they color evenly, until lightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. The alfajores will firm up as they cool and should release easily from the liner before transferring.
Place one alfajor on a serving plate and spread evenly with 1/4 cup of dulce de leche. Top with the next alfajor and repeat with remaining layers. Cover top layer with toasted coconut. Serve with extra coconut on the side, whipped cream or ice cream.
Cook's Note: For more evenly sized discs, draw a 7-inch circle on parchment or wax paper. Use this sheet as a guide when rolling out the discs. Trim the dough as needed and re-roll the scraps into the remaining dough to make more discs.

A NEIGHBOURHOOD allotment scheme to increase local food growing is looking for more volunteers to either grow food or offer their gardens to gardeners.
Andover Garden Share is an alternative choice for people looking for an allotment to grow fruit and vegetables near where they live.
Applicants are matched with suitable offers of private garden spaces.
A plot can be anywhere around Andover.
The crop is then shared in return for the use of the ground, a concept that came from the Transition Town groups based on the grower and the person owning the garden forming a working partnership. Transition Town is looking for volunteers to be share gardeners as there are gardens waiting for a match at the moment.
The scheme is voluntary and there are no fees.
Amanda Squires, Andover scheme organiser, said: "The success is in the quality of a partnership, though we of course want more people to be able to benefit.
"Sharing a garden is not to help people maintain their garden, it is to help grow community links and local food growing."
To find out more or get involved contact Amanda on 01264 771175 or visit f acebook.com/Andove r GardenShare.

IT'S BEEN a busy year for Lucy Gowar since being shortlisted for the County Gazette's Local Business Accelerator award last year.
She has seen her business, Sweet Cicely grow and grow thanks to the huge trend towards the demand for British flowers.
Since the BBC programme 'The Great British Garden Revival", which showcased British flower growers, Lucy has had an enormous volume of requests from other florists.
Some as far away as Bath asking her to supply flowers this year. Her wedding bookings have also increased by 85%.
Lucy said: "I've outgrown my kitchen table now so I'm opening the new premises at the Flower Shed.
"I've renovated the building and as well as my freshly picked flowers and plants, you can also fund a useful range of florist supplies.
"I want everyone to be able to find everything the need to grow their own British flowers or to buy them."
Lucy has also turned half the space into a workshop where she will be running demonstrations on growing and arranging techniques.
The Flower Shed opens this Saturday (March 15) from 10am-3.30pm, just in time for Mother's Day.
The Flower Shed is located at Deans Cross near Lydeard St. Lawrence, TA4 3QN.
"There's tea or coffee and cake as well, so please do come along," Lucy added.

>Racing>2013 Sub-3:45 Marathon Goal Thread
Finally PRed!!!
Peoriarunner: Great job! Those are some good times for the 10K and HM. Have fun at Ragnar, looks like you have a pretty busy schedule.
Good luck on Sunday to snapa55! Hope you have a great race!
I've got a pretty hilly (and probably rainy) 22 on tap for tomorrow morning. Middle of next week I'll hopefully have a good MP run, then a 10K next Sunday. Training sees to be going reasonably well.
Happy running everyone!
PRs: 5K: 22:09, 10K:44:55, 15K: 1:10:35, HM: 1:42:49, M: 3:32:09
Thanks not too swift! Getting my last run in this morning, short 3 miles. I'm still debating if I should stick with a pace group or not. I think I'm going to stick with the 8:30 group for the first 10 miles and then break out @ 8:20 pace for the next 10. At the 10k marker, all bets are off. I'm excited to see all of my training pay off!
Congrats for the great time! Care to share the details of your race? Curious about your splits? and your age?
Awesome job, snapa! Congrats!! It is easy to see from your shorter distances that you will go much faster in future ones, but that's a really good time for your first!
Cowtown Marathon - Feb 24, 2013 - Fort Worth, TXVitals - 27 | M | 5'5 | 140lbs | Sprinter / Soccer build | Less than 1 year of running experience | 430 miles in my marathon training cycle (Hanson Brooks Method) since Nov 2012Background - I started running in May 2011, mainly due to the Warrior Dash. I knew I would be fit enough for the obstacle portion of things, but the 5K run would be my downfall. So I started running 1-2 miles every other day. Post Warrior Dash, I realized I really enjoyed the running part of things, so I signed up for my first 5K. I fell in love with setting goals and accomplishing them. Seeing my hard training efforts translate into PR's drove me to push myself harder. My first big hurdle was the HM. It seemed like a daunting task at first, but come race day I "thought" I was ready for it. Well I wasn't quite ready, as I ended up battling through calf cramps with about 2 miles left. I'm really glad I had that had that experience though, I really taught me how to push through pain.Saturday - Drove the course and realized it involved a lot more hills than I initially thought. I'm from RI, so it was the first time I actually got to see the course. After spending the day with my friends and relatives, I worked hard to memorize the course and elevation. Bed time was around 8PM after I finished laying out my gear.Saturday Food Dairy7AM - English muffin topped with peanut butter and bananas9:30AM - 2 giant waffles with fruit and syrup12PM - Chicken burrito, beef taco, copious amounts of rice and tortilla chips2PM - Gatorade chews6PM - Mongolian noodlesWater and Gatorade throughout the daySunday Morning - I wake up at 4:22AM, slightly freaked out as that means I missed 4 alarms that I've set. After calming myself down, I make myself breakfast (english muffin with peanut butter and bananas on top). My friend and I are off to the race by 5:45AM and I'm trying to visualize the course one last time.Race - My friend, Laura, drops me off around 6:15 and I handle my pre-race preparations: bathroom visit, stretching, and reflection. I kept telling myself, trust in your training, it's going to be tough, but you're ready for this. 6:50AM - I meet with up the 3:40 pacer, Tony, to find out what his strategy is for attacking the course. He's going to shoot for even splits, a little slower on hills, which is fine by me. I was originally shooting for 8:00 pace, due to my recent 10K time of 42:50 in December, but January turned out to be a rough month with illness, vacation, and injury. 7:00AM rolls around and we're off! There were about 12,000 runners on the course, mixed with half-marathon, marathon, and ultra marathon runners. I was having a hard time nailing down my pace, as I did all of my MP runs @ 8:00 pace, so I just tried to keep Tony in sight. I'm glad I toured the course and saw some sights during the Saturday's course tour because I don't remember seeing many sights! I was so focused on trying to get warmed up and finding a rhythm. The other issue I had was that I missed the mile marker flags, so I couldn't really tell my pace from my watch, as I don't have a GPS watch.5K - 26:22 | Pace - 8:29I was able to see Laura around mile 2, she was a giant confidence boost throughout the race. Around mile 4, I striked up a conversation with a fellow runner. He was telling me how he BQ'ed and how he didn't really agree with not putting in the 20 mile long runs. That didn't really bother me at all as I trusted in the Hanson Brooks training, knowing that my 16 mile runs put me through the ringer. At this point, I'm feeling comfortable with the pace and I finally feel like I've found my legs.10K - 52:17 | Pace - 8:25 | Pace Between - 8:20Mile 6 brought the Fort Worth Stockyards, with their bricks. Mile 8 brought another Laura spotting, drawing a huge smile on my face. At this point, I'm still feeling fine, but the course's largest climb was impending. 100ft up, over miles 8-9. I maintained my current effort and pulled my way into Downtown Fort Worth. A few more hills and I'm at the HM point. Tony is doing a great job of pacing. Laura spotting @ mile 12.13.1 - 1:50:06 | Pace - 8:24 | Pace Between - 8:23Miles 13-20 were pretty uneventful. I'm surprised at how good I'm feeling. My form isn't suffering and I'm cruising along at a steady clip. Tony and I trade a few short chats. He tells me that he's surprised that I haven't broken off to do my own thing, since I don't look like I'm laboring at all. Since it's my first marathon, I tell him that I don't want to end up on any YouTube videos, dying at the finish line. But I said, if I'm still feeling good, give me a kick at mile 24. Laura spotting @ mile 16.20M - 2:47:57 | Pace - 8:24 | Pace Between - 8:24As I pass mile 20, all I can think is here comes the wall. By mile 23, I'm wondering where's this wall that everyone talks about? I'm still feeling great at this point so I thank Tony for everything he's done and burn my own path. As mile 24 comes, so do the dreaded calf cramps. There's no way I'm not finishing this, but each step sends brief pains of cramps. Each step from here on out is fairly cautious. My relatives find me around mile 24 to cheer me on. Tony catches back up to me around mile 25 and I tell him "take me home Tony." With that, I fall back behind him, following his pace for the final 1.2 miles. Each step is filled with pain but the I can taste the finish. There's no way I'm not going sub 3:40. With Laura and Tony cheering me on at the finish, I was able to power through the pain to a 3:39:29 finish!Finish - 3:39:29 | Pace - 8:22 | Pace Between - 8:17Overall Strategy - 6 Roctane gels - 1 every 35-45 minutes. Water at every station, 2 cups. Stick with the 3:40 pacer as much as possible.Shoes - Saucony Grid Type A5The whole experience was amazing. I probably rushed my first marathon, but I never would have put up the mileage I did without this giant goal. I'm couldn't be happier about how everything played out. It's certainly a day that I won't be forgetting and one that will propel my running. Sub 20 5K, I'm coming for you!
Snapa - great job on the race and the race report !! Well done !!
I dont sweat. I ooze liquid awesome.
snapa: Great report, you ran a really good race, especially for your first. Congrats again!
Good luck to CC and bluesky this weekend!
I have a 10K on Sunday, but not necessarily expecting a great time, since I'm planning 13+ with some MP miles tomorrow. We'll see how the ol' legs hold up for that combo.
No more marathons

Thanks for the good wishes - basic miserable marathon - full report here:
Boston 2014 - a 33 year journey
Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
He's a leaker!
Wow, sorry about the tough race, bluesky! Marathons can be pretty brutal. Hope Boston goes much better for you.
Thanks NTS - after reviewing some of the info from the race, and talking with others, It seems I really underestimated the toughness of this course. Not having the ability to preview most of the course since it was on private grounds we really had no idea how difficult it was. Really was more a trail marathon, with lots more overall elevation change (ups and downs) that I thought. So I'm not too disappointed with my time - some days you have it, some days you don't. It was a great experience. And fortunately, my Boston experience won't be until 2014. I get to watch my DS this year. Woo Hoo.
bluesky: Sounds like a sensible perspective. I am hoping to run Boston 2014 also, we'll see if I manage to qualify. If I don't get it on 3/17, may seek out a flat course later in the year, because I'm pretty confident I have the fitness to do it, as I only need < 3:55.
That was my qualifying time too. Once I picked a suitable course, and then ran not to get my best possible time, but to simply get my BQ, all was right with the world.
So how have the March attempts gone?
Add my name to the list for October, please. It's not officially official yet (meaning haven't registered as of this moment but will in a couple of weeks), but I'll be going for the BQ at Twin Cities this year.

Hey there folks,
What is the overall consensus of the quality of meat from Omaha?
The prices are a little high but usally they seem to throw in free stuff so that makes it a llittle more attractive.
For example, yesterday in the email I got from them they had 4 FILET MIGNONS for 21.99 but they threw in 6 burgers and a cutting board for free.
The total with shipping came to about 30.00, of which I will have 5 meals for my wife and I.
What has been your experience with them?

RCMP warn of computer scam circulating the Okanagan
Penticton RCMP said they have received calls related to a computer scam that has been flooding the Okanagan.
RCMP Const. Kris Clark said messages that are appearing on computers that state they are from the RCMP or a government agency are a fraud.
Residents have reported being "locked out" of their computer and received a pop-up message stating that their computer has been frozen by the police for a criminal investigation. In some cases the pop-up provides a list of possible offences, while in other cases the pop-up may list a specific offence such as child pornography or illegal music downloading. The message then tells the recipients to pay $100 via a payment service provider so their computers can be unlocked.
The warning messages claim to come from the RCMP or other Canadian government agencies, but RCMP advise they are not coming from them and to not send any money.
Const. Clark said these types of messages are commonly known as ransomware or scareware and are designed to create such a shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly. RCMP said your computer will most likely not be unlocked if you pay the money and you will never get your money back. If you receive one of these messages it is an indicator that your system may have been infected with malware and you will need to take steps to address the problem.
While Penticton RCMP have fielded some calls related to this scam, Kelowna RCMP were swamped with calls on Thursday receiving around 250 complaints. Clark said if you have only received a ransomware/scareware message do not call the police. To report it you must call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501) to report it. As well you may require the services of a computer technician to have the malware removed.
"If you have been a victim or fraud, meaning that you paid money through the ransom ware pop-up, please contact your local RCMP detachment or police force of jurisdiction," said Clark.
Penticton RCMP Sgt. Rick Dellebuur said these types of scams come in various forms from email messages, computer malware to phone calls. He said the success of laying charges for these types of fraud is low.
"People are running these things out of who knows what country, out of a post office box and a phone number," said Dellebuur.
He said just remember the old adage you don't get something for nothing and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
"I got a phone call the other day about winning a cruise, all of these things are scams. This is just another twist," said Dellebuur.
Tips to protect yourself:
-Never click on a pop up that claims your computer has a virus
-Update your anti-virus software often and scan your computer for viruses regularly
-Don't click on links or attachments in emails sent to you by someone you don't know
-Turn on your browser's pop-up blocking feature
-Never download anti-virus software from a pop-up or link sent to you in an email
-If you've received a ransomware/ careware message, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501) to report it. If you have been a victim of a fraud, contact your local RCMP detachment.

GENEROUS visitor Thelma Neate has said a big 'thank you' to all those involved in keeping Minehead blooming lovely all year round.
A regular visitor to the resort, she has written to West Somerset Council to express her gratitude for the wonderful displays in The Parks and Blenheim Gardens.
And as a thank you to the staff and volunteers, she is arranging for a sweet treat – biscuits and cake – to be shared among those who keep the spaces in tip top condition.
She wrote to Adrian Turner, the council's grounds maintenance manager, saying: "As a regular visitor to Minehead I want to say a very big thank you to the people who care for Blenheim Gardens and The Parks.
"Both always look well cared for and I know that someone is always there working.
"I was thrilled to see the daffodils and snowdrops this week, and the squirrels have been a joy.
"If possible, I would like to give perhaps a (large) packet of biscuits or some cakes for these special people to enjoy on their break to show my appreciation."
Cllr Anthony Trollope-Bellew, environment portfolio holder said: "West Somerset Council is understandably very proud of its wonderful open spaces which provide so much pleasure to residents and visitors.
"It is always gratifying to get a compliment and one so deserved for the staff and volunteers who work so hard in all weathers."
A team of volunteers work with the council to help keep Blenheim Gardens looking at its best – and new members are always welcome.
Sessions run on a Monday and Tuesday between 9am and 3pm and volunteers can do the hours that suit them.
For more details on volunteering contact Gail Sloman on 01984-635-208 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Bobby Flay stars as himself tonight on Portlandia's Brunch Special, attempting to make the perfect marionberry pancakes for Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and show director Jonathan Krisel (pictured above). We don't know if he'll pull it off and, since we'll be watching Bobby on Iron Chef America on Cooking Channel during the same time slot, we may never know*.
That's okay though, because we do know the secret to scoring a Bobby Flay brunch any time we want — follow his recipes from Brunch @ Bobby's and make it at home. You don't have to wait in any lines to enjoy his easy Silver Dollar Buttermilk-Pecan Pancakes with Bourbon Butter, or his Carrot Cake Pancakes with Maple-Cream Cheese Drizzle or his thirty-minute Orange Ricotta Pancakes with Caramelized Fig and Pistachio Compote. Just top one of his pancake recipes with marionberries and you'll be living like Fred Armisen for a meal. S'cool with us.
Check out a clip from Portlandia's Brunch Special — a Hearts of Darkness-type documentary about the making of their season finale — after the jump.
*Okay, we'll DVR it. Both air at 11pm ET.

I have recently been working my way through the online book:
Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming by Jason L. McKesson
I have thus far translated the tutorial code from chapters 1-6 (of 17) into python . I use pygame for the window creation and event control; pyOpenGL for the OpenGL bindings; and numpy (where applicable). GLSL 330 or higher is also required (updating your graphics driver may be necessary if you have a lower version).
I personally found it pretty difficult to find information on this subject (almost everything you find is either obsolete (using the fixed function pipeline) or geared only towards C++). I have posted my work so far on bitbucket.
Hopefully some will find these useful.
Alternately if you are an experienced OpenGL coder I would love to hear advice/suggestions if you have any.
I will continue to work through the book, and will hopefully eventually have a complete conversion of all tutorials... but this may take a while.

Ben-Zion Wacholder, professor emeritus of Talmud and Rabbinics at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati who played a critical role in making the Dead Sea Scrolls accessible to everyone, passed away in March at age 86.
In 1989, Wacholder, along with his then-student Martin Abegg (now professor of religious studies at Trinity Western University in British Columbia), obtained a secret concordance of the unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls. The concordance consisted of photocopies of index cards on which every word in the unpublished scrolls was listed, including its location and the few words surrounding it. Using a computer (dubbed by the press "Rabbi Computer"), the two were able to use the concordance to reconstruct the unpublished texts of more than 500 scrolls. The result was Abegg and Wacholder's A Preliminary Edition of the Unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls in four fascicle volumes, the first of which was published by the Biblical Archaeology Society on September 4, 1991.*
A specialist in the origins and development of Jewish law, Wacholder was well known for his studies of the Dead Sea Scrolls, especially the scrolls' sectarian writings and commentaries. In 1999, he wrote an article for Bible Review arguing that the Teacher of Righteousness and the Wicked Priest, two of the most important but enigmatic characters mentioned in the scrolls, were not actual historical figures, as many have claimed, but rather eschatological figures who were expected to appear at the End of Days.**
* "BAS Publishes Dead Sea Scrolls," BAR, September/October 1991.

2007 Atomic Athletic Great Black Swamp Olde Time Strongman Picnic Poster
Bar-B-Que Sauce Finger Prints not included!
Most Strongman Picnic attendees actually buy their posters before the event. We mail them, rolled, in cardboard tubes. This way, they stand a better chance of getting home in pristine condition. On the other hand, you may want to commemorate you Picnic experience with some of your kid's cotton candy or Bar-B-Que laden finger prints...
2007 performers were:
Pat "The Human Vise" Povilaitis, who is pictured on this year's poster lifting his 350 Chevy engine block with only his forearms... AND tearing full plastic coated casino decks of playing cards! And you thought your buddy down the street was good when he tore that inch thick phone book in half.
Pat "The Human Vise" Povilaitis: Pat makes a Red Nail bend a little tougher by hanging a pair of 25 Pound Jade Padlocks off his arms, while perfoming the bend. Guess what? Piece of cake!
Sensei Mike Sherman & the American Kempo School: You will also see a traditional Okinawan Karate weapons demonstration, featuring the rare Nunti Kata! Sensei Mike Sherman has been featured in Martial Arts World magazine, now you can see him at the Picnic!
Andrew Durniat: Standout impromptu event winner Andrew Durniat will be doing a weight juggling act that was featured as part of Steve Cotter's Kettlebell Demonstration at this year's Arnold Classic.
Pretty impressive stuff. You don't want to miss it. Yet, if you have to, certainly get the poster for your gym!

Anyone who has ever watched the TV show "Hoarders" is probably drawn by the sheer shock of how those "filthy" people live. But the truth of the matter is, none of us is clean as a whistle.
While we may not live like the folks on "Hoarders," we aren't clean freaks, either. There are horribly disgusting things we live with every day, we just don't notice them.
In fact, if you thought about it too hard, you'd stay in a hot shower, scrubbing yourself until you were raw, and you'd never eat a hot dog again. But that is the goal of this article -- to gross you out.
Sure, there's some educational merit to knowing the kinds of germs and filth in which we exist, but, really, we just want to make you uncomfortable in your own skin.
And there's plenty of reason to be grossed out by your skin ...
No. 5: Your body is crawling with bacteria
What kind of filthy animal allows himself or herself to be covered in bugs? Even if your dog brings them home, it reflects badly on the pet owner who is covered in the parasites. But that's only lazy, dirty people, right?
Not so fast. You may not be crawling with bugs but you yourself are -- at this very minute, in fact -- covered in bacteria.
We're coated, from head to toe as a matter of fact, in the stuff. That's the bad news. The good news is that those bacteria serve a purpose. They're there to improve health and defend against disease.
So the argument is that if we didn't have those critters living on your skin -- and again, to be clear: every... single... solitary inch of it -- we'd have far more health problems, because the bacteria acts as a defense against disease.
Does that make you feel any better? Us neither, but we're just getting warmed up ...
No. 4: Dust is dead skin
One of the cliches of the Army drill sergeant is wiping the tops of lockers and other furniture with white gloves looking for dust. If Sgt. Pain finds even the slightest hint of dust, it's non-stop push-ups for the whole platoon.
But even after you dust something, it doesn't take long for a fine layer of the stuff to accumulate. And if you wait too long between dustings, the stuff really builds up.
The bad news is it's not just dirt that's coating your stuff -- it's you, too.
Household dust is make up of such delightful things as dead skin, hair, waxes, pollen, mold, fungi, particles of fabric, insect parts, and even tiny bits of metal debris from anywhere metal touches other metal (think hinges, for instance).
Mmm! Breathe deep!
No. 3: Trillions of bacteria call your intestines home
We learned how it works in biology 101: You use your teeth to chew food, breaking it down into small bits. Then muscles in your throat push it to your stomach where it is digested as it works its way through the digestive system. But there's more.
Once food gets into the large intestine, bacteria goes to work on it, breaking it down so your body can use it. The stuff is actually good for you, because they help fend off "bad" bacteria that are trying to create infections.
And the bacteria are part of a team -- one little critter can't do it alone. In fact, there are about 100 trillion cells from up to 1,000 different species alive and thriving in your intestines.
So how big are 100 trillion bacteria cells? If you were to weigh them all, they'd weigh about 2.2 pounds.
Enough to turn your stomach, huh? But you haven't seen nothing yet ...
No. 2: Your urine is cleaner than your saliva
If you're not sitting, please do so now. OK. Now, brace yourself.
Fresh urine is cleaner than spit or skin, because urine does not hold any bacteria. That's right: Urine is sterile.
Urine only gets bacteria in it if someone has a bladder infection or it gets exposed to air for a long time. Otherwise, it's the cleanest fluid in the world.
So this leads to the natural next question: Is it safe to drink your own urine? Experts -- and Tyler Durden -- say it's OK. And if you've ever watched "Man Versus Wild," you'll know that Bear Grylls practically lives on the stuff.
There are complications to drinking your own urine -- and we're not doctors, or we'd probably be off saving lives or playing golf somewhere rather than writing these articles -- so we're not suggesting you do it, but if you're so inclined ...
No. 1: Your food contains more than food
By now, hopefully you've come to terms with all the creepy crawlies that you share with your body. Regrettably, there's more nastiness in your food that is plenty alarming.
"Surely the Food and Drug Administration is looking out for me," we hear you say. You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? Actually, it is ... to some degree. But there are tons of stuff the FDA allows in foods that could inspire a hunger strike.
Such as? Here's some of the stuff the FDA allows:
- Insect eggs and maggots. The FDA allows more than 20 or more maggots per 100 grams of mushrooms.
- Rodent hair. Peanut butter can contain up to 1 hair per 100 grams.
- Insect parts. There can be up to 325 insect fragments per 10 grams of ground thyme.
- Parasites. There can be up to 60 parasitic cysts per 100 fish.
Of course, this is all organic, so it's safe. Now, chow down!

Max- - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkWhy isn't there any mention of what the input voltage is?
I assume you're testing in 120V but i'm quite sure a large percentage of your readers are coming from somewhere with a voltage more around 230V.
Please, how does this affect the efficiency? Surely there's some way you can get a power supply that can provide these tests with both 120V and 230V tests? Reply
Omoronovo - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - link~220v inputs generally make for more efficient PSUs, though ripple will often increase by around 16% to account for the variance of 50 vs 60hz commonly used in 220v-based countries like the UK. Reply

connor4312 - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkYou can see in the picture on the second page that a European plug is included, so I assume it supports 230/220V. Reply
entity279 - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - link"for the difference ($17 USD) customers get a better fan and a few extras such as cable ties and a bag for the unused cables"
The fan difference my be important important. Also, and it's not mentioned in the review, Seasonic offers 7(!!) years waranty versus XFX's 5. Reply
Martin Kaffei - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkYou're right.
Warranty has been added.. Reply
mattgmann - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkThe last high end PSU I've bought was an Antec Signature 850W a few years back. I believe it cost nearly $300, and there was NOTHING on the market that approached its quality at the time.
It's nice to see there are a lot of new units coming out that are giving great power quality with even higher efficiency at much lower prices.
Hopefully the quality/pricing continues to trickle down to <500W power supplies. Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - link"option to have the CPU run passively has <40% load is a nice feature if you don't need the airflow a PSU can provide"
Having a CPU run passively (without external power) would be nice indeed ;-) Reply
dqniel - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkThis makes it sound like 80% is the minimum efficiency for the Platinum certification.
This PSU only makes Platinum certification with 0.56% room to spare at 20% load, so I'd hardly say it "easily" makes it. Not that it matters, because the efficiency is still astounding.
80 Plus Platinum requirements at 115v:
20% load - 90% efficiency
50% load - 92% efficiency
100% load - 89% efficiency Reply
dqniel - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkAnd yes, you should edit the efficiency testing charts to say the voltage at which it was tested (115v, 230v). Reply
ZekkPacus - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkThey used to test with both, which I would personally like to see come back. They also used to use a proper dbA measurement for noise and not the 'subjective' measurement they now use. A bit of a shame. Reply
sonci - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkso, whats next, a Seasonic PSU with the Corsair name on it?
I wonder how fanboys will swear how good is their psu,
they even have the same market USA, Europe, don`t know if they sell in Asia though... Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkWhat's your point?
There have always been far more PSU brands than manufacturers. Seasonic, at one time, didn't put their name on anything, they made PSUs for other companies to retail, and it was only through being mentioned in articles by sites like Anandtech and Tomshardware that end users came to know the name.
Any company that chooses Seasonic as a manufacturer deserves credit for making a great choice, since overall there is none better or more consistent (I rank Enermax up there as well, though being very picky about the electronic results puts Seasonic slightly ahead, overall). And, there is nothing wrong with having someone manufacture something you tweak the specs of to make your own design variation, or even just add a little "bling" as is pretty much the case here.
Just as an example, one reason I won't buy another Silverstone PSU is that you need a chart to figure out who made their particular product, and they more often choose by the manufacturing cost than by the quality of the work. Antec, on the other hand, chooses manufacturer quality over cost, generally speaking. You are more likely to find an Antec made by Seasonic than a Silverstone made by Seasonic. In fact, as far as I've read Silverstone has never used Seasonic. (Regardless of who's name is on it or who made it though, I firmly believe in buying a unit that you've read a proper review of.)
;) Reply
aranyagag - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkyes please do mention the voltage, at which you test. Reply
IKeelU - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkBut I don't understand why anyone would care even the slightest about how their PSU looks. I read the review and watched the video (which was almost entirely focused on the exterior design), but...I still don't get it. Reply
ZekkPacus - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkSome people like to have a showy case with windows. If that's the case, an 'agressive' looking power supply such as this might appeal to them. Same reasoning behind Corsair's GS series. Reply
Beenthere - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkSome folks get all excited about the exterior look of the PSU. It's strange for sure. Some reviewers actually rate the BOX that the PSU comes in. Does it have pictures of a sexy girl and a carrying HANDLE? If not they deduct points from the score... Some people are really gullible. ;) Reply
dj christian - Thursday, March 01, 2012 - linkIt's not relevant to the article but how can i keep track on my posts and the comment replies in the articles and such with my account? Must i get a forum account?
Thanks! Reply

ExarKun333 - Friday, March 02, 2012 - linkNot usually one to care about how an internal component looks, but this PSU is god-awful ugly. I would get the Seasonic in a heartbeat if these were side-by-side every time. Reply
kenyee - Friday, March 02, 2012 - link1000W systems would be hot, loud, and power hungry :-P
Get me a 600-700W power supply w/ platinum specs and I'll be happy to stuff it in a low power build ;-) Reply
B3an - Saturday, March 03, 2012 - linkI have the XFX Pro 1250W Black Edition, which is very similar to this PSU and looks the same. All i have to say is that it's an excellent PSU, i've nothing bad to say about it at all.
It's powering a VERY high end socket 2011 system with multiple GPU's, SSD's + HDD's, water cooling, 32GB RAM, and a highly overclocked i7 (4.9GHz) and the PSU remains quiet. Looks sexy too, even the cables are nice and all black. Reply

SERPERATE Reply
mikbe - Sunday, May 27, 2012 - linkAs you said this PSU is made by Seasonic and they reuse their own design so this is almost exactly the same as the Seasonic eponymous version with the differences being the Seasonic has the better San Ace fan, it doesn't look like it was made by the Dharma Initiative, it has a connection from the main PSU board to the back that the XFX doesn't have (no idea what it's for), and the Seasonic is $25 more than this XFX version. Looking at the parts I think the XFX may also use some less expensive components that are spec'd near the same tolerances to shave a few dollars off production costs.
If you want to save $25 (a good 10% of the cost) and don't mind the inferior, but still OK, fan and possibly some inferior components go for it. I'm not sure the better parts will make a real difference. That said I decided to spend the extra few dollars and went for the "real" Seasonic because I was buying the best and didn't want to skimp.

Note: This topic has been unedited for 1019 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not add to unless it really needs a response.
In the character infobox, the chakra natures of a character are often annotated with (Main) or (Secondary). Now I was wondering what this means exactly. Is the main nature of a character the one they use the most or is it the character's affinity?
Either way, I propose certain changes. If it's the affinity of the character, I propose removing the (Secondary) annotation and replacing the (Main) annotation with (Affinity). If it's the nature the character uses the most, I propose removing the annotation altogether and replacing it with an annotation for the character's affinity. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 15:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- I believe it's for affinity. ^_^ And I think you just sparked something in my head. New infobox will use a newline separated list, a * at the end of a name will indicate nature affinity.

Is there any law that says I cannot wrap the larger part of a web page INSIDE an HTML Form??
I am building a page where Users can check their Messages, and currently I just have my Inbox - which is an HTML Table - inside my Form. Doing so allows me to have Submit Buttons and to use the $_POST array in PHP.
Everything is working fine, except that now I would like to add a side bar with the following links: Inbox, Sent, Deleted, etc. (Basically I'm trying to mimic how my Yahoo Mail account looks.)
This side bar - with the above mentioned links - will likely have some "Form-like" properties (e.g. containing a "Check Mail" and "Create PM" buttons), so it would make sense to include it in my existing Form. (Unless I create a second Form, but that seems inefficient.)
So, is what I am describing legit?! :-/
Why do you consider the actions of checking mail and creating a pm a form action? Those would both suffice as standard anchor element considering they navigate to another page? If the only reason your using form elements rather than anchors is to achieve design goals than your wrong from a idealistic view point.
Who said anything about Mail? This is entirely with Private Messages.
Those would both suffice as standard anchor element considering they navigate to another page? If the only reason your using form elements rather than anchors is to achieve design goals than your wrong from a idealistic view point.
Having a hyperlink won't allow someone to "Create a PM" or click on a "Go" button that deletes PM's or a series of other actions...
Yes, going from the "Inbox View" to the "Sent View" can be done using hyperlinks back to the same page, but performing actions like "Creating a New PM", "Deleting PM's", "Flagging PM's" cannot be done with hyperlinks.
So my question was, "Is it a sin to wrap all of my Command Buttons on the Page in one Form so I can use them as one working unit?"
Follow me?
Not really…
Anything that can be done with a button can be achieved with a hyperlink. At least in terms of single actions.
Same concept within the confines of an application.
Uhm... you've lost me... why not?!? That's what GET is for; just don't trust get for auth -- that's what sessions and cookies are for.
Though if you want to send data back and forth that has no business being sent as POST or GET, then sure...
that's the real laugh of it
PM this user
is really no more or less secure than
<form method="post" action="index.php"><fieldset><input type="hidden" name="to" value="someUser" /><input type="submit" name="createPM" value="PM this user" /><fieldset></form>
Since authentication that the user should even be allowed to do that shouldn't even be in the markup.
This is minor in terms of your users but I'll say it: screen readers with a Forms Mode will ignore everything that's not a form control while inside the form. If you put a whole page inside a form, it's all non-form stuff (except the buttons you want). Users can switch out of Forms Mode, of course, but also semantically, is the whole page a form? And I'd rather multiple dedicated forms on a single page than multiple actions within a single form myself.
ASP had this nasty, nasty, nasty horrid habit of wrapping whole HTML pages in forms.
<form runat="server" blah blah>rest of web page...
later they want a contact form cause it's the contact page...<form> contact stuff...</form>
That sucked since you can't (and shouldn't) nest forms, and at least older Opera would actually puke on it (8? 9?). Not saying you would nest your forms but, it's what we used to see a lot. Actually I still see it. Anything ASP.net without the newer... what's it called? Razor? Something that generates HTML that's actually... HTML. But not everyone has updated... Funda.nl still uses an awful form. It doesn't have the runat=server thing, but it used to. They're in the process of updating.
Because I am taking the approach of having several "Submit" buttons - each with different names - that determine which actions my PHP takes.
if ($_POST['submit']=="Create PM"){
// Do Create PM stuff...

Us ing that approach, I have One Form, Several Command Buttons, and I run everything through my Form, which makes sense to me since everything on the page - in this case my "Message Center" - relates to the Form...
And the benefit is I can use the "out-of-the-box" Command Buttons if I don't want to have to tinker with Image Buttons or Background Buttons or JavaScript (which I always avoid).
So it is a visual design decision.First step to the dark side…
Not my site so I could really care less but the way your doing things is not ideal.
While multi-submits are handy in many cases -- it doesn't sound like you actually HAVE a form or formData.... though without seeing the actual page I'm guessing a bit on that; it sounds like you're wrapping a non-form in a form.
No, it is definitely a Form because I am using Check-Boxes to select Private Message, am using a Drop-Down to select Actions to take, and I have at least one true "Submit" button while he other one is admittedly a glorified hyperlink...
See a screen-shot of my completed Inbox...
Hi Debbie, I see one form and one link.
The form is the "what does the user want to do with messages in their inbox/sentbox/draftsbox/etc." That's a single form with multiple checkboxes, with the message/subject name as the labels... looks good.
Create PM is, in most other places, a link called "send new mail" or similar. On the left you have "folders" which are really links to navigate to other groups of mails, and "Create PM" is another link which takes users to a different "form". To me, and on most web-based mail applications (you're taking on a lot, if this is to imitate a webmail-like system!), these are simple links because the user is always brought to the same blank send-mail template.
You said though that you wanted a script to be involved there when users hit Create PM as well as bringing them to a new page. Why? But assuming you do need this, I would still have that button be a separate form, so your image would be a single web page, with two forms and folder links.
<form action="somescript.php" method="get" id="createpm"><fieldset><legend>Compose a new message</legend><input type="submit" value="Create PM"></fieldset></form>(or, input type="image"... your button looks really Appley
The fieldset can have border: 0 and the legend can be position: absolute; left: -999em; to hide it.
It is indeed totally legal to have a form that just has a submit button, though I believe most places with such buttons still don't use a form... instead their backend has a unique URL and just does special stuff based on that URL. See, the user isn't sending any special information with that button: everyone hitting it should be getting the same result, yes?
Is there any way the form on the right (dealing with messages in the inbox) would affect the result when the user clicks "Create PM"? That's the only way I can imagine that both would have to be in a single form.
Stomme Poes,
As usual, an insightful response!! :tub:
looks good.
Create PM is, in most other places, a link called "send new mail" or similar. On the left you have "folders" which are really links to navigate to other groups of mails, and "Create PM" is another link which takes users to a different "form". To me, and on most web-based mail applications, these are simple links because the user is always brought to the same blank send-mail template.
Yes, everyone is taken to the same page which is "send_pm.php"
(you're taking on a lot, if this is to imitate a webmail-like system!)
Yes, it was quite a challenge, but I have it done and working, and it behaves as well as my Yahoo e-mail (and I did it all with PHP and no JavaScript!!)
<form action="somescript.php" method="get" id="createpm"><fieldset><legend>Compose a new message</legend><input type="submit" value="Create PM"></fieldset></form>
I thought I was passing something in the Query String like this...
...but I ended up using a $_SESSION variable on the back-end to pass over the Username so the "To:" field gets auto-populated.
(or, input type="image"... your button looks really Appley
[b]And that is what this all really comes down to...
For this particular page, I like the simple, stream-lined, metallic-looking buttons that HTML gives me "out-of-the-box" when I use a Form.[/b]
Since I don't have or know how to use Photoshop, GIMP, etc. I have a handicap when it comes to simple things like creating and working with Buttons.
By including my "Send PM" button in my larger Form, I got a "free button" thrown in! :lol:
No, same experience for everyone.
To sum things up...
You have valid points above, but like I said, for now I like/need the built-in Metallic Button my Form gives me...
After my site is up and running and I've had some time to "walk away" from everything, I will need to re-evaluate the look and feel or my Buttons, and come up with a better, more unified approach.
If I could ever fine time to learn some basic Gimp and Inkscape, that would open a whole new world to me as well?!
I think for now I'll leave thngs as they are, since they work, they look great, and I don't feel like I have made any "Mortal Sins" here, just maybe a slight "Venial Sin"! :angel5:
That sounds like a better road, rather than relying on the client state to set this.
So far as I know, only Apple's OS will make that button look that way. Windows, Linux, and various phone OSes will make it look their own way. I guess one of the advantages of using an image (or a bunch of CSS3... I think you could entirely do that button in CSS3) is it will look that way cross-OS. Generally we do this cautiously since there's good reason the OS has control over how form controls look, but... this is an obvious button, so meh.
Since Crusty doesn't like
s for text fragments, I'll use a div (because I'm assuming everyone else on that page is a block and you wouldn't want a loose  sitting around):

Create PM

.macinbutton { display: inline-block; padding: 4px 8px; color: #000; font: bold 1em/1.2em 'yourfontname', sans-serif; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; background: #fff url(images/gradientbg.png) 0 100% repeat-x; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#ececec, #fff); background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#ececec, #fff); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#ececec, #fff); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top,#ececec, #fff); background-image: linear-gradient(top,#ececec, #fff); box-shadow: 1px 0 3px inset #fff; border: 1px solid #000; border-radius: 25%;}I'm not sure on that box-shadow bit, and all of this is out of my head and not tested, but something like this (and of course a hover/focus state)
The background statement is still using a regular gradient as a backup to the CSS3 gradient, which you'd need to make in the GIMP or whatever, but if you didn't have that you could leave it out and just set background-color: #fff;
@Mallory -- I'd not waste the extra tag since there's probably already a perfectly good block level container around it -- and I've never had sibling between inline and block be an issue -- no div, no P, it's fine as a anchor.
I'd suggest avoiding linear-gradients, they take too long and make scrolling painful; instead I'd use "background-size:1px 100%;" with a gradient image of sufficient height to cover the gradient spectrum (which $EC to $FF is $12, or 18 decimal, so 1x18). Funny you did all the variations of linear-gradient, but forgot to -moz and -webkit box-shadow and border-radius (I know latest of gecko and webkit don't need it, but a lot of sub-versions of said engines aren't up to snuff and still in use).
... and your background-position is redundant/broken. If you're doing repeat-x only, a 100% top means your fallback image would never show up, it's pushed off the bottom of the element. I suspect you meant to say 0% or "top" since you've got #FFF, the end of the gradient, as the bgcolor -- either that or you have the values in your linear-gradients backwards since you're fading dark to light.
Though I'd consider using multiple box-shadows instead of gradients.
inset 0 0.25em 0.5em #FFF,
inset 0 -0.25em 0.5em #DDD;
Or something to that effect. BTW, I believe it's incorrect to state "inset" in the middle like you have it -- that or I've just never seen anyone do that.
Actually I would have just had a plain old image, but I have the GIMP to make those in. So I have both image idea and CSS gradients to show both (and if gradients were used then an image may be a wanted fallback), but actually I'm assuming Debbie won't have an image at all. Background-size is another good idea.
And yeah box-shadow all the way around might work better too... I haven't played much with it.
Assuming the background image is a white-to-grey gradient, and the button background is white, I would absolutely have that image tile left-to-right from the bottom (and with repeat-x I can set top/bottom, but not side-to-side... but since I'm using numbers rather than names, I have the 0 in there).
This way, the button can grow in height and the gradient image will stick to the bottom. If the gradient is going to be allowed to stick to the top, then it has to be made backwards (white-to-grey vertical gradient but now with the button's background set to that same grey, so when button grows the grey rather than the white grows).
Since I feel the white is a better contrast I went with the more-white setup.
No... as I re-read what I wrote, I have the CSS gradients backwards... I should have (top, #fff, #ececec) on all of those. Wupps. Thanks for catching that.
It might be... I remember last time I saw it, it wasn't the first thing mentioned, or the last; but I stopped using it because last time I did, a Chrome bug made inset + rounded corners a disaster. This bug HAS been fixed, I checked (and it was only Chrome/Skia, not other webkit...) but hadn't had a need for inset since then.
I no longer have browsers to test those on, because all my versions support border-radius and I thought box-shadow without prefixes, while the gradients were still derp.
I didn't check or test any of that code; I wrote it while slurping coffee and petting the whiney cat and talking to a friend on the phone. I'll mention I'm not one of those females who can multi-task. The fact that most of it isn't riddled with m0aR errors is pure grace of Cthulhu.

Exclusive: Ruby Jean Wilson x Wrangler AW13 Campaign
From Marc Jacobs to iconic denim.
Ruby Jean Wilson's career has grown in leaps and bounds since we featured her back in issue #95, with her most notable career achievement of late being opening and closing Marc Jacobs' NYFW show, as well as fronting the label's SS13 campaign shot by Juergen Teller. Now the 19-year-old who grew up on the Central Coast is the AW13 face for iconic denim brand Wrangler.
The peroxide blonde babe stars alongside male models Jacob Hankin and Nic Smith in the campaign which was shot by Cory White and styled by ManiaMania's Tamila Purvis (hence all the excellent jewelry). This season Wrangler smells like teen spirit, finding inspiration in the 90s — a golden age for denim! AW13 also draws on the label's own heritage so there's plenty of classic pieces.


text: Dance is universal. Regardless of what language or culture you call your own, if you witness hula, you always identify it with Hawai'i. This small speck of land, in the biggest ocean on Earth, connects Hawai'i with the world and often that connection is through hula. We are not confined to dance hula with just our feet. What brings hula to life is that the hands as well as the music, tell the story of the people of Hawai'i. The music resonates from our hearts and souls and comes to life with hula.

Goldman Sachs is still the Fed's favourite counterparty for buying and selling Treasuries – or at least it was in the first quarter of 2011. The data comes out two years in arrears and we are now at the period when $600bn of QE2 purchases were in progress.
Goldman got twice as much of that business as anybody else, which is mildly embarrassing for the New York Fed, but reflects the pecking order in the Treasury market. If you know what happened to Citi's business during that period then please explain in comments. Read more

For Facebook, there's no place like Home. The big news coming out of the social network's HQ yesterday was neither a Facebook phone nor a mobile OS, but it was definitely something more than an app -- let's call it a phapp.
Facebook Home for Android is the company's desperate attempt to play catch-up in the mobile arena. If you can't get enough of Facebook -- and don't use an iPhone -- Home may be just the thing for you.
[ Cash in on your IT stories! Send your IT tales to email@example.com. If we publish it, we'll keep you anonymous and send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Simply put, Home puts Facebook messaging in your face (assuming your handset is compatible; it won't work on older Android models). When you turn on the phone, Home will be there on the lock screen, waiting for you. Whenever one of your peeps sends you an SMS text or Facebook message, updates their status, or comments on one of your posts, that will be there, alongside a disembodied "chat head" image of your friend. If you're running another app when this happens, the message and the chat head will pop up over them. Per Facebook's warm and fuzzy press release:
From the moment you wake up your phone you become immersed in cover feed. ... It's a window into what's happening with your friends -- friends finishing a bike race, your family sharing a meal or an article about your favorite sports team. These are the beautiful, immersive experiences that you get through Home.
Want to immerse yourself in an actual phone conversation? How 2008 of you! That's also possible, but you'll have to get to the apps screen, beneath the Facebook Home phapp. That's also where you'll find Google search and Twitter, not at all coincidentally.
Also likely coming to your Home screen, though not at first: Facebook ads. That has folks once again worried about what kind of information Zuckerberg & Co. plan to collect about your mobile habits. Giga Om's Om Malik was one of the first to ring the privacy alarm bells:
The phone's GPS can send constant information back to the Facebook servers, telling it your whereabouts at any time.
So if your phone doesn't move from a single location between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. for say a week or so, Facebook can quickly deduce the location of your home. Facebook will be able to pinpoint on a map where your home is, whether you share your personal address with the site or not. It can start to build a bigger and better profile of you on its servers. It can start to correlate all of your relationships, all of the places you shop, all of the restaurants you dine in, and other such data. The data from accelerometer inside your phone could tell it if you are walking, running, or driving.
Even if Home doesn't collect any more information than the usual Facebook mobile app, it will be collecting data 24/7 -- and that could be a problem.

Spitfire Magnum
| Sep, 8 2009
- Spitfires will open, NO MATTER WHAT
The design of the Spitfire GUARANTEES that they will open, at any shot angle. Even closed the Spitfire blade is already partially open, so it has to continue to open when the target touches the blades. They WILL slam shut after passing thru a target and hitting the dirt. There will be a little dent in the aluminum ferrule where the back of the blade rests when the head is in the full open position. In the 12 years that this head has been on the market, we have not had a SINGLE failure of the Spitfire not opening.
- High Angled Shots are NO PROBLEM with the Spitfire
A lot has been talked about recently about the angled shot capability of mechanical heads. The Spitfire broadhead handles these types of shots with ease. Blades will ALWAYS deploy properly on high angle shots. Remember, not much beyond a 45 degree angled should be attempted with a bow regardless of whether it's a fixed blade or mechanical.
- It does NOT take much energy to open this head.
Again, a lot a people talk about how much energy mechanicals need to open. The Spitfire will open with less than a pound of energy. The pressure you feel when you open the head by hand is not the same pressure that occurs when the head is flying fast. This being said, we recommend that anyone shooting ANY of our broadheads, mechanical or fixed blade, have at least 45 pounds of kinetic energy and have excellent arrow flight to get the best chance at a pass thru.
- Do the Microgrooves really work?
Yes! NAP's patented microgroove ferrules channel the air over the ferrule for better flight. More importantly, they slide thru and penetrate bone much better that standard ferrules
- Resharpened blades VS new ones.
It's always best to use new blades when possible. No resharpen techniques will get Thunderhead blades as sharp as new ones. The Thunderhead blade is ground, honed, stropped and polished with three different grind angles which produce the sharpest blades in the industry.

A spokesman said Mr Hunt had been a "valued and much loved member."
He added: "The money was raised from the sale of his many art items donated by Liz, his widow. The charity, favoured by Pat because of its support for his disabled granddaughter, also received donations from his funeral collection.
"The art club, which always supports charities at their exhibitions, also raised £55 for Macmillan Cancer Support."
Guiseley Art Club meets on a Monday from 1.30pm to 3.30pm at the Methodist Church, Oxford Road. Anyone interested is invited to drop in or call Chris on 01943 873732 or Carol on 0113 2503023 or e-mail email@example.com. The next exhibition is on November 1 and 2 at the Methodist Church Hall.

The Face Guide: Eye Regimens
Wash your face as if it were made of silk fabric; using a gentle, circular motion, sweep cleanser upward from your neck and décolleté rather than vigorously rubbing and pulling. Applying too much pressure can yield a temporary rosy glow but can damage capillaries and stretch out skin in the long run.
If you have dry skin that feels taut and deposits flakes when a piece of tape is pressed against it, seek out creamy moisture-rich cleansers with soothing plant extracts like seaweed. Oily or acne-prone? Use a wash with exfoliating fruit extracts (papaya, grapefruit) or salicylic acid daily, and slough dead skin cells with a gentle scrub twice a week. If your skin is sensitive with patches of redness, look for a natural cleansing oil or nonlathering face wash void of dyes and perfumes.

Remember that lingerie survey, you curvy ladies so graciously filled out for me a couple of months ago? (Thanks btw) It was for the lingerie line Cosabella. I was extremely honored that they would ask for my help in their desire to create plus-size lingerie.
Cosabella even sent me a black lace thong to review. I am definitely a comfy cotton undie girl, but this thong is now my favorite undergarment! Not only was it SEXY, but it was very comfortable. It seemed to fit in all the right places. And since their line is designed here in the U.S., but is made in Italy, you know the lace and cotton was exquisite. I felt sexy all day! Lol.
Their project is definitely under way and they are very excited to create this line. With your help of course!!
Just visit their site and let me know!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/7/2013 (1492 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My dog has been there for me through my whole horrible dating "career" of 12 unlucky years. I am now with a guy who loves being with me, but barely tolerates my dog, who used to sleep at the foot of my bed quietly, not bothering anybody. I thought I loved this new man, but as weeks go on, he has removed the dog from my bedroom, to the living room, to the kitchen, and now locks my dog in the back porch at night. I can hear him crying out there. Last night, after this guy and I had sex, I went to the porch and snuck open the door to the yard. My dog and I tiptoed out and I sat in a chair with his head on my lap, looking at the moon. Poor thing only has a few years left. Why would I let him cry at night like that? I went back in the house, woke the gorgeous man in my bed and asked him to leave. He said, "Over a damn dog? You must be nuts!" Am I nuts to do this? -- Love My Old Doggie, Windsor Park
Dear Love My Doggie: You are right and smart to make this move, albeit a little slow. You can do better than to let a guy take over your power and mistreat your pet. The beast in your bed may have been gorgeous, but he's unkind to your true best friend -- a vulnerable old dog. This man is cold-hearted, selfish and arrogant. You shouldn't be sneaking around your own house, afraid of this man's censure if he wakes up. If he can be that unkind to an old dog, he can be that mean to a child, and to you one day. Say good riddance to him!
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I ate myself up to a humongous weight and then lost it through a program we won't mention here. Now I have too much skin for my body and I want my husband to shell out some plastic surgery money so I have a normal, attractive body again. He's fat himself -- and rich, but cheap -- and says, "Hey, you're just going to have to wait because inevitably you're going to fill up that skin again. Everybody gains the weight back, and you're weak so you won't be any different." -- Shot Down in Flames, West End
Dear Shot Down: Take responsibility for yourself and don't involve him and his bad attitude. See your doctor about the weight you lost. If the pendulous skin on the abdomen is causing medical problems, you may be able to get help through medicare for that area. The situation, of course, is different if you want to pay for it yourself here in Canada or anywhere in the world. We should also talk about the bigger problem: your husband's "change back" attitude. Don't give in to him. He wants you to be fat again and is likely to try many ways to sabotage you with discouraging remarks and by putting fattening food and drink within your reach. It happens. Insist you get some counselling together. "Change back" situations can rip couples apart, as they involve toxic emotions such as jealousy, resentment, anger and disappointment over non-support and sabotage.

FrameMaker for Word: Insert Landscape Pages Next to Numbered Headings
About This Episode
In Microsoft Word, there are often problems associated with inserting single column layout or landscape pages within multicolumn layout, if a section break is required in the middle of a multi-level list, or next to a numbered heading. This is not the case with FrameMaker. Word requires section breaks to change page layout; FrameMaker uses straight forward master pages for page layout. Watch this brief video to see how "unbreakable multi-level numbering" in FrameMaker stays intact as individual page layout is changed, or even when a landscape page is inserted next to multi-level numbered headings.
