Powerflex bushings
Powerflex keeps adding to its comprehensive range of performance polyurethane bushings. The range now includes the E46 BMW 3 Series, (B5 and B6) Audi A4, plus the Mk1-Mk4 VW Golf. The company claims its high-durability polyurethane reduces noise and vibration, while offering longer tire life, shorter braking distances and greater responsiveness. Prices vary, but a front wishbone inner bushing for the Mk4 Golf is $65.99
Amsoil Spray Grease
Amsoil's newest lube is Spray Grease made with white lithium. It shouldn't take too much to figure out what this is, what it does and how it's applied – the good thing about a spray is that it can reach hitherto inaccessible places and keeps mess to a minimum. $5.80
Wilwood brake kit
The 1999-2006 E46 BMW 3 Series (from 323i to 330i) can now be upgraded with a Wilwood W6A front brake kit configured for high-performance street or track use. The forged six-piston calipers bite 14" rotors bearing asymmetric groove patterns. The kit includes aluminum hats, mounting brackets, Wilwood BP-10 pads and the necessary installation hardware. It's also compatible with OE master cylinders and ABS systems. It does, however, require the additional purchase of stainless steel braided lines. The calipers come in a black powdercoat, but can also be ordered in red. $2038.39
AWE pulley kit
AWE Tuning describes its new pulley kit for the B8.5 Audi S4 and S5 with the S-tronic transmission as potent, but without sacrificing reliability. Included in the kit is the 3.0T pulley (electrocoated in black), belt and hardware, plus GIAC stage 2 software and a hand-held switcher. Performance gains are a claimed 31hp and 42 lb-ft. From $1749
Injen short ram intake
Replacing the restrictive stock intake in the BMW F30 335i, the SP1127 is made from aluminum and features a dry web nano-fiber filter. As a result, the better breathing brings a claimed 13hp and 11 lb-ft of torque, as well as an improvement in fuel efficiency. Injen also says it has a deeper induction growl. It comes in either polished or wrinkle-black finishes. $420
Forge hose kit
Any Turbo version of the 997-generation Porsche 911 is the right candidate for this set of upgraded, race-quality hoses. Forge claims quick and easy installation using the included CNC-machined bayonet couplers. They're also able to withstand higher temps and boost pressures, lasting longer than the factory items. Available colors are black, red and blue. $360
IE intake manifold
Having built a great reputation in the VW/Audi community for high quality parts, this new Integrated Engineering intake manifold includes the cast aluminum manifold, air intake and software to add a claimed 48hp to the Mk5 and Mk6 VW 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine (torque doesn't increase, but the curve remains flatter for longer). The pieces can also be bought separately and IE will flash an owner's ECU within 24 hours of receipt. The manifold is available in a raw finish or black powdercoat. The full kit is $1499.99
Meguiar's Bug Sponges
Packed in individual wrappers and designed to break down bug proteins, the new sponges are kind on paintwork. Meguiar's Bug Splatter removal sponges are pre-saturated and will work on glass, headlights, metal or fiberglass surfaces. Just wipe with one side of the sponge, wait a few moments for the formula to take effect, then wipe away with the other side. $8.99
Hyde's Serum Rustopper
Designed to prevent rust forming on brake rotors and other braking components, the serum protects wheel coatings, lug nuts, wheels (steel, alloy, chrome or polished), anodized finishes, single-stage paints or the braking system itself, thanks to a pH-neutral formula. Spray on after cleaning and let it do its job. $12.99
CTEK battery charger
Cars, lawnmowers, snowmobiles… anything with a 12-volt battery can now be connected to the juice with ease and safety. We've actually used a CTEK charger and battery tender for several years without complaint and now the new MUS 3300 charger can monitor and maintain all common types of batteries, including AGM. This device was designed to be used while the battery remains in the vehicle, its built-in short-circuit protection removing the fear of damaging sensitive auto electronics. $74.99
Stack multi-function displays
With new sixth-generation Datapro software, Stack's multi-function display (MFD) systems offer 14 channels of datalogging at speeds up to 200 times per second, and with sufficient memory for a 24-hour race. It also features GPS track mapping, Excel Data Import Utility and a CAN ECU Gateway template editor – the MFD is compatible with AEM, Bosch, Motec, etc. It can also provide predictive lap times, brake bias readout and has configurable LED warning lights. And let's not forget Stack's renowned analog tachometer for reliable engine speed readings. Clubman-3 DVL models start at $1499
Onehundred Tuls
These wallet-friendly items (in terms of size and price) from Onehundred are made of titanium and perform various functions. The Tuls (tools) are cut and etched by laser, providing four separate options: Stan (smartphone stand and cable organizer), Lucy (metric and standard wrenches), Roul (metric and standard measurement) and Opie (bottle opener). $22 per tool
Milltek exhaust
Milltek bought an F30 BMW 3 Series in order to develop a cat-back exhaust system fashioned from 3", non-magnetic stainless steel. The pipe diameter provides a fine balance between gasflow and backpressure, essential for good throttle response. In resonated or non-resonated form (depending on the desired soundtrack), the system works on 320i and 328i models with the N20 engine and M Sport cosmetic package. Dual 3.5" tips are available in polished or black finishes. $TBA
Vaavud wind meter
Although this wind tunnel-tested gadget is aimed primarily at sailors, paragliders, kite surfers and the like, it could also be remarkably handy on a track when calculating lap times and the effect headwinds or tailwinds have on speed and stability. We liked it because it's a clever gadget that uses no electronics, but connects wirelessly to a smartphone (iOS or Android) and detects wind speeds up to about 56mph. It's also possible to get live readings on an interactive map. $44.99
Elevate sway bar
At 1" diameter, the anti-roll bar replaces the stock unit on Volvo's P3 chassis, providing more than twice the rigidity of the smaller stock item. Elevate claims more neutral handling and better road holding. It retains the factory end-links and includes grease-able polyurethane bushing with zinc-plated brackets. The applicable P3 models are the 2007-on Volvo S80, 2008-on V70, 2010-on XC60 and 2011-on S60. $259
AEM Infinity ECU
Manufactured for US-spec BMW E46 M3 models (2001-06) with manual transmissions, the plug-n-play programmable ECU replaces the original engine management and employs the factory CAN-bus system for map switching and traction control. It will even work with the factory buttons in the steering wheel and center console to select various operation modes. The Infinity ECU controls all engine systems, including variable cam timing and drive-by-wire systems thanks to processing up to 400million instructions per second. It works with the AEM Infinity Plug & Play harness, which is purchased separately for $490. ECU from $3271
BFI shift knob
Made from billet aluminum, this knob is more than just a pretty shifter. At around 8.8oz, its heft is said to allow smoother and quicker gear changes. It has a modular threaded insert design that makes it compatible with many applications, although it seems particularly suitable for VWs. $99.99
U-Scan Sensor & Phone App
Wouldn't it be nice to understand those flashing lights on your gauge cluster? Or know what's wrong with your car before you take it to the mechanic? Thanks to U-Scan, you can. Other benefits include an emissions to prepare you for smog testing. The U-Scan is simple to set up: First, download the U-Scan app from iTunes or the Android app stores. Then sync the Bluetooth between the phone and U-Scan reader. Plug the reader into your ODB port, turn on the engine and hit "Scan Now" on your phone. The interface is simple to navigate and you can save each scan to your "garage." Upgrades are also available if you want more detailed readings to monitor things like engine modifications. $79.99
Autodromo Gloves & Watch
Created by industrial designer, Bradley Price, Autodromo products hope to harness the spirit of early motoring, specifically the experience of the 1950s and '60s. Their extensive timepiece collection includes various gauges throughout that time period. The Monoposto watch (limited to 500 pieces and sold out), for example, was inspired by introduction of the "redline." When racers were looking for top speed, they had no mechanical sympathy, so their techs would paint a bright red line to indicate the maximum rev limit… and the "redline" was born.
The Autodromo Stringback leather gloves were designed to revive the thrill of '50s racecar drivers before neoprene fireproof material was ever invented. Back then, drivers relied on leather and cotton, allowing the hands to breathe while offering maximum grip on the steering wheel and to hell with fire protection!
iPhone Case Review
We're always on the hunt for a rugged iPhone case because your device is too precious to lose in a careless accident. So we've collected a number of options, for various budgets, but all will help your phone survive.
A. Catalyst Survivor Waterproof
If you're a regular beachgoer or regularly near water, this case might be perfect. Capable of withstanding depths up to 9.8ft, you can dive into the deep-end with confidence. The only drawback is the encyclopedia instruction booklet on how to properly insert your phone. It's over the top but if it's going to keep your phone dry, it's worth the read. $69.99
B. Griffin Technology Survivor
This case will make Duck Dynasty fans giddy since it's finished in Mossy Oak Treestand. Obviously, other colors are available and it offers good security for a reasonable price. The camera flap is fiddly to access and difficult to keep open when snapping a photo, but it's all part of the impressive protection offered. $49.99
C. Ballistic SG MAXX
Ever get frustrated and feel like chucking your phone off a 15ft building? Now you can (although not recommended) with the SG MAXX. One of the more serious cases we've come across, it includes an easy access belt clip when you need to keep your hands free. $39.99
D. Ballistic Hard Core
The Hard Core is a badass version of the MAXX. This means it should exceed the 15ft drop test thanks to its military specification. It provides five layers of protection to ensure a safe iPhone for anybody in the field or on the construction site. It's rather bulky but if you need phone protection, this is a great option. You can easily remove the outer silicone cover when you don't need the ultimate protection but we've used one of these for several years and the phone remains like new. $59.99
E. Ballistic Every1
The Every1 protection system is designed for people navigating the concrete jungle. This Ballistic urban protection employs soft-touch silicon surfaces with a sleek hard plastic structure that will save your iPhone from modest knocks. $49.99
F. Snow Lizard SLXtreme
This was our favorite because it takes the task seriously. Complete with solar pack, additional battery, shockproof case and water-resistant up to 6.5ft, the SLXtreme is capable of surviving nearly any situation. Just pop the water seal hatch at the top, drop your phone inside and chuck it in your adventure backpack. Every aspect of the design is user-friendly, from the simple button actuation to the relatively light touchscreen protector. It's expensive, but this might be the ultimate protection. $129.99

Pattern: my own, titled "Boyfriend socks"
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shephard Sock solid in "pewter"
Needles: my trusty 2mm 80cm circular addis
I finished these just around the knitty deadline. It was a simple pattern but fun to knit so I thought I might as well submit it. I didn't have time to sort a proper photo shoot though, so the pics were a bit rubbish.
I got back from holiday from an email from Amy Singer saying she loved the socks but knew I could do better pictures. I agreed so asked Marcus if he'd model.
It was one of those "hottest for 100 years" days London has been having a lot of recently. Not a day for wool socks. Not even really even a day for shoes (though the streets were melting in places so bare feet might have been messy). He got very board while I fiddled round his feet and generally got embarrassed at people looking at us but stoically read his book while I snapped away.
I took some much better photos. Amy liked them too. Hooray. Then she sent them for tech editing and Mandy instantly spotted how similar they were to the log cabin socks in Handknit Holidays.
I google-image searched "log cabin socks". The Knitty team are right, boyfriend and log cabin apply the same stitch pattern (which is basically a twist on a ribbed cable, I said this pattern was simple...) - I completely agree it'd be inappropriate for Knitty to include my design.
Still, from reading blog entries on the log cabins I think they are quite different in construction, so my pattern notes might still be worth sharing. I'll try and have a look at the Handknit Holiday's book and then might post my pattern up on the blog.

MaxHandle needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 111 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
We need a unique logo for our site Affiliate Station. Affiliate Station is going to be a social network for affiliate marketers. We are looking for something Web 2.0 with either a logo integrated into the name or separate from the name of the site (Affiliate Station).
Affiliate Station

What is a social network?
Think MySpace of Facebook, read more here...

We want this logo to include the words 'Affiliate Station' however the logo image itself does not have to be integrated into the words 'Affiliate Station' but it can.
We want you to be creative and unique, we are thinking of a logo with some people perhaps either holding hands, interlocked, or connected in some way, here's a rough idea, although we are looking for simple colors...
Another concept we are thinking of is a space station type of feel, in the image below look at the icon at the bottom right of the image...
These however, are just ideas. Overall, the logo needs to convey a sense of community and connectedness.
Be as creative as you like, but the logo should be simple and not be larger than the words 'Affiliate Station' and could be something that sits to the left or above the words Affiliate Station.
- Simple colors, 2 to 4 colors that we can change if needed.
- A Web 2.0 look, this can include drop shadows, glossy reflections, and/or smoothness.
- Must say Affiliate Station only.

You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll commit untold violence! This week's roundup of iOS apps offers users the full range of human emotions.
Already this week we brought you reviews of the latest versions of Twitteriffic and Apple Remote as well as news of the improved Gmail app and updated Sonos app. Here are other new and updated apps that caught our eye.
Bubbsie: You can haz your cheezburgers: The free Bubbsie app for iPhone helps you create your own meme-able moments by taking pictures, adding speech and thought bubbles to create amusing text, then letting you post to a variety of social networking websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. This week's update offers users the ability to create captioned photos on their iPhone without sharing to those networks; it also adds a number of creative options and support for the Retina display on later-model iPhones.
A Charlie Brown Christmas: Time to be honest--there's not a ton new in the recent update $5 app for iPhone and iPad: It is now optimized for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5, and there are some updated doodads here and there. But this app (like the beloved television Christmas special that it's based on) is already such a holiday classic that we'd be remiss if we didn't remind you that it's out there: It combines music, voices, and animation from the animated special into something wholly new and native to iOS. Phil Michaels wrote last year that the app "really draws the reader into the Charlie Brown Christmas experience," and that remains true today.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: If you want to skip the meaning of Christmas and instead would like to explore the meaning of violent, bloody, unconscionable crime, you're also in luck! Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is already familiar to owners of Xbox and PlayStation consoles; now it's available as a $5 game for iPhone and iPad. A crime story that mixes elements of Miami Vice and Scarface, Vice City takes players deep into the underworld of 1980s Miami, a time and place of two days' stubble, big hair, pastels, and Don Johnson solo records. It wasn't a great decade. If you like mayhem, you'll love this game.
The Orchestra: We love how the iPad lets us dive deep into some of our favorite activities. The Orchestra is a $14 app that shows how classical music is created, showing the conductor at work along with the real-time score that the conductor is working from and commentaries from various musicians in the orchestra. See the trailer for a demonstration; this is one of those apps that really shows off the iPad's impressive range of capabilities--and in turn offers a rarely seen look at an orchestra and its full range of capabilities. It's brought to you by Touch Press, the same folks who did The Waste Land, and Elements: A Visual Exploration for iPad, among other highly regarded apps.
This Is Not an App: Yes it is, but what kind? That's the decision you make in this $5 offering for iPhone and iPad.
Zite: This free app--which creates a "personalized magazine" based on the interests you demonstrate on Facebook and Twitter--has been completely overhauled with an entirely new look and new ways to find and shape the content you see. There's more content to explore: The number of categories has expanded from 2,500 to 40,000. And now users can now rate stories simply by swiping up or down on them. This was already one of the best news aggregation apps; now, it's even better.
Other apps of note: WritePad for iPad has been updated with an improved handwriting-recognition engine ... Kindle for iOS now has better rendering for manga books and adds in the much-touted X-Ray feature from Amazon's e-readers ... YouTube has been updated with AirPlay compatibility and a native iPad interface.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Authorities say a University of Massachusetts student has died from injuries she suffered in a fall while walking with friends near the Amherst campus. Investigators have ruled the late-night Nov. 16 fall an accident. The
reports that the student's name has not been released out of respect for her family, a university spokesman said. No campus-wide notifications were made following her death. The fire department responded to Fearing Street and brought the woman to a Springfield hospital with a head injury. The fire chief says the woman had been drinking prior to the accident, but it was unclear how much she had consumed and if her fall was caused by the alcohol. ___ Information from: Daily Hampshire Gazette (Northampton, Mass.),

The USTA's expansion proposal would increase the footprint of the already existing tennis center in the park, adding .68 acres of land. It proposes the elimination of roughly 400 trees and would remove a paved roadway.
"Parkland is sacred," said Avella at a protest rally outside the USTA on Sunday afternoon.
Avella and other protestors said that denying USTA to expand would send a message to other developers who have their eyes on using parkland for development, most notably a proposal to build a Major League Soccer stadium in the park.
There is also a proposal to build a hotel and retail complex on top of a portion of the Citi Field parking lot, which is also technically parkland.
"This is the first of these three applications," he said. "We're here to say that even if this is the smallest proposal of the three, you're still taking away parkland without replacing it."
Avella blamed local elected officials for the USTA even thinking it could propose a "parkland land grab."
"Could you imagine if they did this in Prospect Park?" the state senator asked. "Why Flushing Meadows-Corona Park has been treated like a stepchild is a question we have to ask our elected officials. I don't get it."
When city parkland is developed or sold, an act of the legislature must approve the proposal. Avella said there are already talks in the works to introduce that bill.
"If that bill does get introduced in the senate I am going to get up on the senate floor and just go wild on not only that senator but on the entire process," Avella vowed.
Geoffrey Croft, president of New York City Parks Advocates, said on Sunday that any changes USTA wants to make should be made within its existing complex. "This is particularly egregious because they can build on their existing footprint," he said. "There is absolutely no reason to take more parkland."
Paul Graziano, a local civic advocate and candidate for City Council, spoke about similar projects being blocked in Brooklyn because of "borough-wide protest," something that he would like to see in Queens.
He scoffed at those in favor of the expansion who argue it's only a strip of parkland about 30 feet wide.
"Well if it's only 30 feet, then why do you need it?" Graziano asked.

The Dallas Cowboys have reassigned receivers coach Jimmy Robinson to clear the way for former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley.
The Cowboys made the hiring of Dooley official Monday and said Robinson would be a senior coaching consultant. Robinson also was the assistant head coach.
Dooley was fired at Tennessee in November after going 15-21 in three seasons. He was just 4-19 in the Southeastern Conference and 0-15 against Top 25 teams.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and Dooley were assistants together with the Miami Dolphins in 2005-06.
It's a return to the Dallas area for Dooley, the son of former Georgia coach Vince Dooley. He was an assistant at SMU from 1997-99.
Robinson was Dallas' receivers coach for two years and oversaw a breakout season for Dez Bryant in 2012.

There are a number of reasons why individuals take the time to fully restore 1969 ford mach mustangs for car programs and individual pleasure. One of the main reasons people spend a lot time, energy, and cash bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is consisted of in that certain mustang design. The engine upgrades that were available during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Guymon OK transformed the mach mustang from the average family vehicle into a racing enthusiasts dream.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate currently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Guymon OK.Initial sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 units for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but numerous modifications were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made adequate distinction to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Guymon OK are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first variation but, due to the additional equipment needed to satisfy brand-new US emission and safety policies, was heavier than the very first model. Efficiency was minimized and in the first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Guymon OK were readily available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was actually big enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs readily available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford built 10,478 commemorative replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Failure to oil as often as recommended may lead to excess heat and premature wear and tear.
Warning: Unlike some other clipper motors, this motor will neither slow down nor sound different when oil is needed. But failure to oil will quickly cause damage to the blades and drive head. So you MUST apply oil by time instead of sound. Apply a small amount of oil every 3 minutes to the tips of the teeth and each side of the blade by dipping them into a dish of oil or pouring oil directly onto the teeth with a small oil container and every 10 minutes drip oil into the small hole behind the tension knob assembly. Excessive wear can occur if not oiled properly!
Warning: Risk of electrical shock—Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

I have been shearing for almost 20 years. I started with the oaster/stewarts, then moved up to the andis/heinigers for years. My first pair of premier's were the origional style, they were so light and easy to manuver however the old style shear head had some problems. I jumped on the new style clippers and what an improvement. The new head is much more reliable. The Andis have slightly more torqe, but they were huge, hard to hold onto for long periods of time and not as easy to manuver. The new Premier 4000's are the best all around hand held shear clipper on the market
Rosario D
Excellent product, light and easy to handle. ready to use. Highly recommend it. The only feature that would improve is the manual control of the cutter movement. Some models have this where the comb and the cutters can be checked. This makes setup a little easier.
Marianne B
Great shearer. I used it for my Icelandic sheep. Very easy and light in the hand.
Crystal E
I've used these to spring shear about 25-40 black face sheep a year. They're wonderful. Plenty of power, never get hot, and aren't tiring to use like the Oster Shearmasters. Plus I love that I can use a clipper head with them for slick shearing lambs too. I'll never use anything else.
Kenneth S
Shears functioned without incident. Shearing of sheep was effortless. Quality of manufacturing is top notch. Very happy with end product and will purchase these type shears and combs

WHITESBORO, TX -- The storm that blew through Whitesboro Tuesday evening, not only destroyed some docks, it sank some boats.
Boats that weren't completely underwater, were buried under debris.
Five docks were blown away from the shore. One dock was very close to drifting out into Lake Texoma. Texoma Marina staff say they have a lot of cleaning up to do.
Just before 5:30 tuesday evening, a storm blew through Whitesboro and literally ripped docks away from the shore.
"I didn't know what was going on at first. I just started hearing metal creaking and bending and boat houses were moving like they shouldn't have been," witness Billy Strickland said.
"The ship store started shaking and got real bad, and we weren't real sure if we were gonna float away," Texoma Marina manager Jenny Rosario said.
No one was hurt, but three boats flipped over and are now under water. Other boats are pinned in their boat slips.
"All of the boats that are able to be moved, we've contacted their owners and have them come out and move their boats so that we can at least get them out from under, just in case any of the docks do fall. Because they're not secure and they're not stable whatsoever," Rosario said.
The tow boat towed as many as possible to other locations. The Coast Guard and Sherwood Shores Fire Department were called out to help.
The major concern is getting the boats that sank out of the water so fuel doesn't leak into the lake.
"It's just detrimental to the wildlife and basically anything it touches considering it contaminated it," Fire Chief Tim Bilderback said.
The marina said they just built most of those docks. They'll have to rebuild and expect that to take several weeks

There are no (and never have been) rules about splitting infinitives. The placement of the adverb before, in the middle of, or after the infinitive should only be guided by the meaning that you are trying to convey. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. The correct version is the version that correctly conveys the meaning that you mean to convey. I currently make my living copy-editing scientific journals. This does not make me an expert on grammar or spelling, but it does make me a near-expert on using style guides. There are lots of them, and the one thing they have in common is that they contradict each other all the time. When people try to assert that their rules of grammar or spelling are correct and that others are wrong, well, I just laugh out loud. There are common basic rules of course, but I am talking about the more subtle uses of language, the ones all debates are about. Spelling and rules of grammar change all the time, especially spelling. The progression of compound words into hyphenated forms, and later into combined hyphenated versions is commonplace and occurs very quickly. It's not wrong, it's not even unusual. The conventions that happen to be popular at the time that you learn them are no more correct than earlier or later ones. Get used to it.
The conventions that happen to be popular at the time that you learn them are no more correct than earlier or later ones. Get used to it.
Absolutely. However, it is useful to be aware of the prevailing conventions and how they have changed. "Errors of grammar" may be errors of rhetoric. Rob, and an unknown (to me) number of people like him may be distracted from what you are trying to say if they don't share your conventions. Spelling is mutable too but I find it very hard to seriously attend to anything written by someone who can't spell, despite knowing very well that Shakespeare couldn't spell.
You're doing this for spite, aren't you?;-)Rob CRegarding poor spelling: I could forgive that far more easily than bad grammar. Spelling comes into a rather different set of recognition/memory areas. Under bad spelling I don't place the misuse of words such as there and their; I don't think those types of error have much to do with anything other than the lack of reading books or, perhaps disadvantages of childhood education. And the latter doesn't necessarily deserve to be placed on the shoulders of systems or parents: kids contribute (or don't!) a hell of a lot to their own future problems or success.Rob C

1.5 oz Scotch
1 oz Ginger Syrup
0.5 oz Honey Syrup
0.5 oz Pimm's
0.5 oz St. Germain
0.5 lemon juice
2 healthy dashes Whiskey Barrel Bitters
Shake ingredients well with ice and pour over a large ice cube. Dash with seltzer (we're talking like a tablespoon here, don't drown the thing) and garnish with candied ginger.
NOTES: Kind of took a shot in the dark with some of these ingredients and it really ended well. This one turned out to be damn tasty, if ever-so-slightly too sweet. Making again I might up the scotch to 2 oz and/or cut out the honey syrup totally. The Pimm's gave it a nice, surprising aftertaste. I'll be making this one again.

project15 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 33 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for original chess piece designs to use as part of an online game. Pieces can be conventional or quirky, plain or themed; I don't have a totally fixed idea of what I'm looking for, so surprise me!
The prize for this contest is $150, but there can be multiple winners - I'll pay the full prize amount for each set I like.
I'm looking to have some original and interesting sets of pieces designed to use with an online game, so that players can choose from a good range, to suit their tastes or usability preferences.
Chess pieces are nominally black and white, but you don't need to stick slavishly to that - pieces that use a different two colors may be okay, as long as they have sufficient contrast (ie. one quite dark and one quite light), or you can use multiple colors or spot colors.
I'm interested in pieces that look quite traditional or conventional. Also interested in pieces that are quirky or unusual, or follow a theme such as Sci-Fi or D&D.
Submitted image sets should be in 24-bit PNG format, at two sizes: 70x70 and 35x35
For reference, in case you don't know what chess pieces look like -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_piece
- original and unique designs; something a little out of the ordinary
- no violent or adult-only themes (but mild horror/gothic is okay)

Public Finance for Water in Sub-Saharan Africa
We know that water and sanitation services do not always recover their costs from tariffs. So, if communities or governments are to maintain the infrastructure properly, they depend on the public budget. And those expenditures must be predictable and transparent.To take a closer look at this issue, the World Bank analyzed public expenditure on water supply and sanitation from fifteen countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, assessing how much public money was budgeted for the sector and on what it was spent.

(CNN) — A gunman and another person were killed during a shooting Tuesday at a medical building near the Renown Regional Medical Center, said Tom Robinson of the Reno, Nevada, Police Department.
Two other people were wounded and were in critical condition, Robinson said.
The shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. Police don't have a motive, but Robinson said it was not a random act.
Kat Raco, an ophthalmic technician who works on the second floor of the Nevada Advanced Medicine building, told CNN that she heard at least two large booms and then the sound of scampering feet above her.
The shooter opened fire after going to the urology office of Nevada Advanced Medicine on the third floor, said Sharon Spangler, spokeswoman for Reno Police.
Raco said she and others in her office were seeing patients when the shooting occurred and first thought someone or something had fallen.
Police were there quickly, she said, telling them to lock the doors and not let anyone in.
About 10 minutes after that, more police escorted everyone on the second floor to a catwalk between the building and a parking garage. A plain-clothed officer asked questions before staff was allowed to leave about 45 minutes after the shooting.
"The police handled it in the best way possible," Raco said. "They were very professional and calm. Everyone (in the office) stayed pretty calm."
Raco said there are no armed guards in the building.
Reno police said there were at least two dozen witnesses to interview.
Earlier, the University of Nevada police tweeted that there was an active shooter and faculty, staff and students should find shelter where they were.
CNN first learned of the shooting through the university police department's Twitter account.
The medical center describes itself as the only Level II trauma center in that region of Nevada and is home to the area's only Children's Hospital, its website says. The facility also offers the region's largest number of clinical research trials.
Last month, there was a hospital shooting in Wisconsin when police shot and wounded an armed man on the neonatal intensive care floor of a Milwaukee-area children's hospital, authorities said.
Milwaukee police had gone to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to arrest the man on a felony warrant and found him holding a child in the intensive care unit, authorities said. Instead of surrendering, the man took out a handgun and fled down a hallway, prompting police to shoot him.
CNN's Chandler Friedman and Steve Almasy contributed to this report.

I want to get just a little more sweetness than normal to balance the hops, alcohol and carbonation (shooting for about 1.080 or so.) So, what is a good target saccrification rest? Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep the conversation going!
Generally, the target sweetness level on an IIPA is less than it is for a standard IPA. A sweet IIPA can get cloying pretty fast. Alcohol is pretty much a substitute for sweetness when it comes to balance in a finished beer.

Photos from "Turnon: Tattoos" at Munch Gallery
Various Artists.
Ignite Licensing sure knows how to throw a party! To celebrate the book "Turnon: Tattoos," the Munch Gallery in New York had a one night only gala reception, book signing and art exhibit featuring the work of Michael Alago, Isauro Cairo, Walt Cessna, Aaron Corbett, Joan Crisol, Scooter LaForge, Ves Pitts and Wilsonmodels. Does it get any better than being in the same room as Chad Ferro and Scooter LaForge at the same time? Doubtful. Enjoy some photos from this amazing night after the jump. There might be some gay male nudity in one of the pictures, but it's legal now so you don't have to worry about breaking any laws. But if you still have a closed mind, don't say I didn't warn you. Also you can see some hotties you are now legally allowed to marry in the state of New York – subject to availability, of course.

But Friday night at 7:30 at Allen Arena coach Frank Bennett will officially start his 30th season as the head coach of the Lady Bisons. And it will be a challenging start to the season as the Lady Bisons welcome the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, the defending Patriot League Champions. The Mountain Hawks won a school record 26 games last season and were 17-0 at home. They return four starters from that team.
Lehigh's point guard Erica Prosser is the defending Patriot League Player of the Year. The No. 2 guard, Alex Ross, is from Columbia, Tenn. She is a top 3-point shooter and a preseason all-conference selection.
"Their strength last season was their guard play," said Bennett. "They are the kind of team that plays hard and executes well. They are like an upper-echelon Atlantic Sun team in a lot of ways."
While Bennett has given a great deal of thought about Lehigh, he has not dwelled on his longevity. When the Lady Bisons break their huddles, they yell "passion" which is the slogan for the season.
"People say something about it every once in awhile, but it isn't that big of a deal for me," said Bennett. "The Lord has blessed me with a lot of good assistants and good players. It has been a great experience.
"The unusual thing is to have been at the same school this long. There are a few of us out there."
Bennett doesn't think his passion for the game has decreased. In fact, he has instituted new offensive and defensive schemes this season.
"I am very passionate about the start of this season," said Bennett. "I have worked harder than I have in a long time on preparations that will help the team produce good results.
"Coach (Don) Meyer used to say that when you have an old coach who is still passionate you have someone who is dangerous. I am kind of paraphrasing that."
In addition to trying to win their home opener, the Lady Bisons want to bounce back from Tuesday night's 85-76 exhibition loss to NAIA foe Freed-Hardeman. The Lady Bisons missed 21 shots in the paint, a problem Bennett and his staff dealt with this week.
"We did some full court lay-ups," said Bennett. "Part of it was we weren't executing our Lipscomb motion. We weren't getting the looks we would have liked.
"We ended up standing around and looking at each other with one player making a one-on-one move. Hopefully we have made some corrections on that this week."
The players have also been proactive. They met after the game to talk about what went wrong. At Wednesday's practice a couple of players apologized in front of their teammates for their performances.
"I think the girls were disappointed and mad at their execution," said Bennett. "They met after the game on their own to try to re-focus. We have had good practices the last couple of days."
Defensively, the Lady Bisons also have to elevate their efforts. They have allowed more than 40 points in three of the four halves they have played in exhibition games.
"It is important, especially at home, to get a quick start and put the visiting team on its heels," said Bennett. "Our big thing right now is getting better on the defensive end. We have to be better in communicating what the other team is running. We have to be more solid in contesting shots and get on the defensive boards better.
"We have spent a lot of time on the offensive end putting in some new stuff. But we are concentrating more on defense right now."
Offensively, the Lady Bisons have put together some strong halves with 40 or more points in three of the four they have played.
Chelsea Burroughs, Valerie Bronson and Jenna Bartsokas have scored in double figures in both games. Burroughs has been the leading scorer for the Lady Bisons in each game.
"Jenna, Chelsea and Val have been playing very well on the perimeter," said Bennett. "I think Brittany Duerk is going to give us solid play at the post. We will probably have Valerie and Leah McAlister play some at the four position.
"Lehigh's man-to-man defense is very similar to Freed's. It is more of a packing man-to-man as opposed to one with hard denial pressure. If you can't beat their defense down the floor you have to be more patient and work for good shots."
The Lady Bisons are back at home Sunday afternoon to play Central Arkansas at 3:30.

How Successful Does Tomb Raider Have to Be?
A few days ago, it was revealed that Tomb Raider sold 3.4 million copies, which to the lay man seems like a pretty impressive game release. However, Square-Enix said that the game failed to meet expectations. Not only that, but the company was in financial trouble because of it. This begs the question, how well does Tomb Raider actually have to sell to be considered a success?
Videogame analyst Billy Pidgeon told GamesIndustry that Tomb Raider will have to break five million copies sold in order to be considered successful. "Square Enix's franchises are well established and require ever-higher production budgets to match and surpass past performance," Pidgeon said. "The latest Hitman and Tomb Raider sold in the three million unit range and got Metacritic ratings above 8. Those numbers would rate as successful for JRPGs that earn more from vendors as exclusives and have manageable budgets. But for games with development budgets approaching $100 million to be truly profitable, ratings have to be above 8.5 and sales need to be in the five to ten million unit range."
And here we see the big problem with how the gaming industry has evolved. The cost of game development has grown so big, its crushing any developer who can't consistently make AAA blockbuster hits. Unfortunately, the gaming fanbase simply does not have enough money or time to make every huge funded title a success, which means big name studios are slowly going to start to fail if they aren't in front of the pack. Unfortunately, this means we are going to see a lot more THQ stories in the future. It also means that, despite favorable reviews, millions of sales, and general acclaim from the entire gaming populace, Tomb Raider still has to be considered a failure.

The markets are taking a rest this morning; maybe everybody is watching the 24-hour college hoops tip off marathon on ESPN instead of trading?
When I built my barnhouse, I moved some old boxes of my childhood memories in. I found a 1983 VHS tape called "Steve Alford's All-American Workout" that I used to study and copy as I dreamt and trained to become a D-1 hoopster like Alford. He's now the highly-regarded coach of the University of New Mexico Lobos, the team I once walked onto and still have the highest points-per-minute average in history (I never got to play but in blow outs at clean up time, sigh).
Anyway, the Deep Trader's Thought of the Day is how steady, dedicated and hard-working every successful professional must be in order to attain the kind of success that Alford enjoys today. And the second Deep Trader's Thought of the Day is how steady, dedicated and hard-working every successful professional must remain in order to keep pushing for the next level of success. Maybe the Lobos will finally win an NCAA Championship under my former (and still) idol, basketball legend and NCAA Championship MVP, Steve Alford. I know that he will give everything he's got as a coach to get us there while he's here. We must be as steady, dedicated and hard-working in our trading, investing and analysis and keep pushing for a our own version of championship — long-term outperformance — if we want to succeed in a Steve Alford kind of way.
Steve Alford ~ Big Ten Icons- #17
Facebook's /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB lock-up is all over the news, which could make it a buy-the-news event after all (unless I just jinxed it by writing that, knock on wood). More than 800 million post-IPO shares coming to market this week.
Yesterday's strongest big tech is one of today's weakest, as KLA-Tencor /quotes/zigman/74396 /quotes/nls/klac KLAC tanks. And the put side of my long calls and long puts bet on Microsoft /quotes/zigman/20493 /quotes/nls/msft MSFT are kicking in today and if Windows 8 is weak a seller as the exodus of its software chief / former CEO candidate would indicate, there sure could be more downside in MSFT ahead. As long as MSFT crashes or rallies big over the next six months, this bet should be profitable. Again, knock on wood.
Remember when I kept saying I wished that I could locate some meaningful BVSN shares to short or for a market for put options on Broadvision /quotes/zigman/112608 /quotes/nls/bvsn BVSN so I could buy some? The stock was at $35 on its way to $50 before it crashed all the way to $8 where it sits right now on its way probably lower still.
Point being, even after it had run from $8 to $35 where I flagged it, BVSN continued to rally another nearly 50% off momentum and micro cap stock promoters like the guy I once ripped so hard on national TV, Jonathan Lebed, that I still get emails giving me digital high-fives for it. Stocks can run higher and drop further in the short-term that you every believe they will.
Jonathan Lebed Fox Business Interview
Stay focused and look to scale into some more longs on weakness, but not too aggressively yet. In other words, let's be steady, dedicated and hard-working as usual.

By Kathryn Kopchik
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Chief Oren Lyons will give the talk, "A Value Change for Survival: An Iroquois View on Caring for the Earth," on Tuesday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Bucknell University Environmental Center.
Lyons is a Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation who sits on the Onondaga Council of Chiefs. The Onondaga Nation is the central seat or fire of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee or "People of the Long House." As Faithkeeper, he is entrusted to maintain the traditions, values and history of the Turtle Clan and uphold the Great Law of Peace of the Iroquois.
Born in 1930, Lyons was raised in a traditional family on both the Seneca and Onondaga territories in the state of New York. After graduating in 1958 from the Syracuse University College of Fine Arts, he worked as a commercial artist in New York City, becoming the art and planning director for the Norcross Greeting Cards Company where he was responsible for directing 200 artists. In 1970, he returned to Onondaga Nation and was formally adopted by the Onondaga People in 1972.
In 1982, he helped establish the Working Group on Indigenous Populations at the United Nations. For more than 30 years, he has participated in the Indigenous Peoples Conference in Geneva, an international forum supported by the United Nations' Human Rights Commission.
The recipient of the Elder and Wiser Award of the Rosa Parks Institute for Human Rights, the International Peace Award from the United Nations, the National Audubon Award and the Ellis Island Congressional Medal of Honor, he holds an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Syracuse University and City College of New York.
In the Oka standoff in 1990, he helped negotiate (as a member of a six-leader delegation) a peaceful resolution to the conflict between the Canadian and Quebecoise governments and the Mohawk People.
A featured speaker at the Global Forum of Spiritual Leaders for Human Survival in Moscow, Lyons addressed the General Assembly as the first indigenous speaker of the United Nations and opened the 1992 International Year of the World's Indigenous People at the United Nations Plaza. That same year, he organized a delegation from the Iroquois Confederacy to attend the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in South America.
A founding member of the Traditional Circle of Indian Elders and Youth, he directed the Native American Studies Program at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He was the subject of an hour-long television documentary broadcast on PBS in 1991 with Bill Moyers.
His 1992 book, Exiled in the Land of the Free: Democracy, the Iroquois and the Constitution, co-edited with John Mohawk, details his belief that the emerging American colonies used the model of the Iroquois Confederacy as the basis for the democracy of the United States.
An all-American lacrosse player in his youth, Lyons has served as the honorary chairman of the Iroquois National Lacrosse Team. In 1993, he was elected to the Lacrosse National Hall of Fame.

A Sluggish, But Less Risky Global Economy

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me posting this as my first post. Not spamming, honest, just that we'd (SLROC) like as many different clubs to be aware of this event and possibly to come along and enjoy a weekend amongst other enthusiasts.
Here's the griff...
Last year we spent three cracking weekends at this venue, raising money for our local charities. The Organisers asked me whether I thought it was possible to have a 4x4 Show on the site. I replied that while the idea had merit it would need to start off small (acorns and oak trees, so to speak) and be allowed to grow, much like Billing did.
So a good 4 months and a couple of planning meetings later, we have some news:
We have a confirmed date - 15th & 16th May
We have an offroad course and possible 'green lane experience' in the design stages. To be fair the offroading might be a bit tame for the experienced among you, but for those that only offroad occasionally if at all, it will be great; stock friendly too.
Looking at a two day event with arrivals Friday afternoon/evening.
Club stands are welcome.
The organisers are now looking to see what trade they can attract so if you know of anyone that might be interested in a venue right on the A14 near Bury S.E. then let me know.
Admittedly the event this year will be run alongside an already established event, but I feel with the right input and support we can go a long way with this.
BTW, SLROC are only acting as Marshals and raising money for our 2010 charities by giviing rides around the course to day visitors and those who don't wish to take their vehicles offroad. We are not making money from gate cuts, commission etc; we just want to see as many fellow 4x4 groups and owners all together in one area for a chilled camping weekend for all the family.
So to the prices. Well the nice thing is that if you come as a club and have a club stand, you get 6 free vehicle passes and 12 personnel passes. Camping is extra but is only £5 per person per night with kids under 12 going free.
So if this is something you think your guys would be interested in then by all means give me a shout.


text: The postwar movement of about 250,000 mainly eastern European Jewish survivors to displaced persons camps and to the West, with the goal of reaching Palestine, was known as the "Brihah" ("flight"). Here, Jewish refugees cross illegally into Italy, probably to charter a ship to sail to Palestine. The British restricted Jewish immigration into Palestine and deported "illegal" immigrants to detention camps in Cyprus.

In no particular order, because I read them all just about every day each for different reasons, here are my Top 8 Financial Bloggers:
1. Fed Plans to End Tough Sanction Against Predatory Lending http://t.co/tncryw6 Nakedcapitalism is the best Fed / Bankster / Corporate Welfare / Consumer watchdog blog on the Internet. I once had the honor of interviewing Yves Smith on my Fox Business show and she was as smart and on-the-money in person as she is on the blog. Go read the article I linked to above or even better, just go visiting NakedCapitalism.com and get to learnin'.
2. Incentives Matter, or, Why I Didn't Set up as a Hedge Fund http://alephblog.com/incentivesarticle. My mentor, friend and partner, David Merkel writes a fascinating post that raises some interesting questions about incentives for your money manager that any professional investor should ponder. Merkel writes some very detailed analysis and pushes back on a lot of conventional wisdom about the economy, the markets, trading and investing at AlephBlog.com.
3. How to succeed in Los Angeles without really trying: http://bit.ly/dYVjxY I call James Altucher my Jedi Master and it's because I can only wish I could blog / trade / invest / market / build companies like that guy can. Read his blog JamesAltucher.com every day. I do.
4. Food Stocks That Could Double in 2011 ($) http://www.foodstocksfor2011.com/. My company published this excellent analysis from another mentor and friend and partner of mine, Scott Rothbort, of TheStreet.com and TheFinanceProfessor.com fame.
5. Skype is Killing it On Long Distance http://dlvr.it/CnpD3 Skype, and its model of distributed distribution, as I call it, will be studied by tech and business students for decades to come. And this one comes from the best tech investment site on the net, GigaOm. I've known Om Malik, who founded the site, since the summer of 2003 when he interviewed me for an article about mergers in a Business 2.0, and I predicted that AT&T and Cingular would soon merge. They did, btw.
6. Meet the 'New Normal,' Same as the Old Normal! Goldman Invents the Non Public-IPO http://bit.ly/h1Qcpj Jeff Matthews has had some brilliant calls about the huge money-making turns in both economy and in individual stocks like Nextel, when he's called both tops and bottoms in the cycles. He doesn't write as much as he used to at his hilariously titled and often very funny blog, JeffMatthewsIsNotMakingThisUp and that's a shame.
7. Why the World Is Financially Doomed in Four Charts http://j.mp/hLcj7E I'm less bearish about our prospects to avoid doom than is the general vibe over at ZeroHedge.com, especially because I think we'll fix up our tax code and start prosecuting criminals at the banks, including Goldman, Citi, JPM, Wells Fargo et al and including executives and CEOs for fraud and corruption. That, and the robo-signing and mortgage/foreclosure frauds that are ongoing abuses of the courts will all be prosecuted. Eventually. Things will be okay, people, especially if we demand and start to get some justice and some tax code simplification. Even if not, the odds are that we head into a stock market bubble (probably led by smartphones/networking technology stocks again…an "echo techo bubble", if you will) before we crash again. There will be crashes and downturns regardless in years ahead, so the all the permabear doomsdayers will eventually look brilliant again, just as the permabulls will at various points too. Same as it ever was, no?
8. In 2010 I Learned That… http://t.co/9pmAk5g I just found out that Josh Brown shares office with Barry Ritholtz, of Ritholtz.com (bonus must-read blog, but most of you have probably been there already, I would guess!), my buddy since we met at a conference back in 2001. Small world. I discovered TheReformedBroker.com when Josh interviewed me a couple years ago about the bailouts and have been a reader of his pithy commentary and interviews of colorful money people ever since.
