To Do List
Non-Mutating Algorithms
Order Selection Networks - Rework pin, min, max, median_3, median_5, select_ith_n
Review chapter from book (4)
For each provide a comparison based, const, and non-const versions.
Go to how many elements?
Definitions: select_ith_n: return the ith element in non-descending order out of n elements.
The network is minimal in the worst case if it does the minimum number of comparisons in the worst case and minimal in the average case if it does the minimum number of comparisons on average.
The selection network is stable if the retuned element is selected out of n elements stably soreted in non-decending order (we do not do sorting).
A selection network from partially ordered inputs is a selection network where a certain partial ordering of the elements is already determined.
[We need to develop a naming convention for paritial ordering.]
Question - do we provide sorting networks?
Replace bound_if() with partition_point()
Write a proper partition() (ordering and for forward iterator), partition_point_n(), and is_partitioned.
Make cautionary note about wrapped standard algorithms.
non_strict_order_partition(range, element, strict_weak_ordering) arranges it so that elements are not greater followed by elements which are not less.
Pull count_min/max_element. Replace with two passes - max_element(), count().
Binary searches
Write a better binary_search which returns lower_bound() if exists else last.
Write an adaptor for is_in_sorted_range - set_member?
find_first_of_set() - becomes find_if with adaptor.
We should try to adapt binary search algorithms such as upper bound and lower bound to work on sets and multisets.
Finding and Counting
Extending find() - also provide find_not() and count_if_not() and count_not(). exists, none, all?
Check what other adobe/STL algorithms take unary predicates (partition_not?).
Versions of find and count need to take a binary predicate - see find_match().
And find_n(), count_n() for all versions.
Remove find_not_equal (the one working version is find_not() ).
Versions of for_each for_each_value() - rename of for_each_position() for_each_value_n() for_each_n()
Sorting Group is_sorted sorted() rename to sorted_run()
mismatch() gets grouped with equal() and search() Add mismatch_n().
Look at reduce accumulate and related functions - do we keepr reduce_balanced()?
Mutating Algorithms
copy family --
Try to simply use the name copy() for copy_bound() - etc.
Add bounded forms of other functions, i.e. swap_ranges.
Also applies to find and count
copy I I 0 copy_b I I F F copy_n I n O copy_b I I O n copy_b I n F F copy_b I F F
I I n F F
--- tranform_if replaces filter by splitting the function object. transform_if_not. Also add _if forms for other functions.
Also have copy_if and copy_if_not (as replacement of remove). --- Explore iota and fit more into the copy notation. With a value for increment - ---

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Ideal Balance is okay, albeit in my opinion overpriced. If you're looking for something at Petsmart, I'd try Wellness, Innova, or Castor & Pollux. Outside of Petsmart, I've always liked Fromms. I have mine on Orijen and he does very well, though the food is rather pricey. I sometimes get bags of Castor & Pollux or Wellness to mix in. The pudding stool and bad gas I see pretty often in dogs on BB. Some just don't do well on it. Ultimately, I'd look closely at the ingredients of the food and integrity of the company. Hill's hires some pretty convincing reps, they push the food all the time at my store, but I find that they tend to know some overhyped tidbits about their chosen brand of food and usually not much more.
Rereading that, if that was an associate, I am always leery of following their opinion. I've been through the Petsmart training, and that food and nutrition knowledge is usually bare bones at best. I have coworkers that recommend foods just because the company reps give them extra coupons to buy food for their own dog if they help sell. Not trying to be negative, but my experience with fellow associates has rarely yielded anyone actually knowledgeable about good nutrition.
Ideal Balance food?
So I have been feeding my puppy German Shepherd Blue Buffalo for some time now and he has been having pudding style bowel movements, shiny coat, bad gas, and is pretty skinny. A salesman at Petsmart, that sounded like he knew what he was doing and had a German Shepherd, pointed me towards Ideal Balance. I was wondering if Ideal Balance food is a good choice? Also, if not, is there a better food?

Chris Kamara
Football Expert & Columnist @chris_kammy
Positive signs
Kammy says Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko and QPR's Christopher Samba have settled in nicely...
Last Updated: 04/02/13 1:54pm
Every Saturday, Chris Kamara heads to stadiums up and down the country to deliver his unique match reports for Soccer Saturday.
On Sundays you can see him back in the Sky Sports studios as he brings you all of the highlights on Goals on Sunday.
And then on Mondays you can find Kammy right here on skysports.com as he brings you his views on the Premier League weekend.
Read below for his thoughts on a fantastic result for Newcastle, Goran Popov's red card and a big week for Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney...
Newcastle have raised it a notch but not much is going right for Rafa
It was a brilliant result for Newcastle - a really fantastic result, especially for them to come back in the way that they did with Moussa Sissoko scoring two goals on his home debut. The players that Alan Pardew has brought in have given the club a lift and that's all you can hope for as a manager. I thought Chelsea were magnificent when they played Reading - they could have been miles out of sight, with the game as good as over. But we all know what happened: Adam le Fondre, our guest on this week's Goals on Sunday, came on and fired two quick goals to earn Reading a draw out of it. It might just be a situation where it's not to be for Rafa Benitez. He's hardly doing much wrong but everything seems to work against him.
The arrival of Christopher Samba is a massive, massive bonus for QPR
I was at QPR on Saturday for what was a fabulous game. For a 0-0 there was plenty of excitement and I thought that both goalkeepers, Mark Bunn and Julio Cesar, were fantastic. When I first saw Julio early in the season the team was struggling and he was finding it difficult to come to terms with English football. I've watched him over the last few weeks, including Saturday, and he's been absolutely top drawer. Christopher Samba also played really well, especially considering that when I spoke to him beforehand he said he was only 50 per cent fit! If there's another 50 per cent to come on top of what we saw on Saturday, then he's going to be a massive, massive bonus for them! On the downside, it was a big disappointment that Loic Remy wasn't fit. Jamie Mackie ran his socks off again but I think he'll be the first to admit that he's not a centre-forward. He found it difficult with his back to goal. But Norwich gave as good as they got. Obviously the penalty would have decided the game in the end but unfortunately for Adel Taarabt, it was a brilliant save from Mark Bunn.
Roberto Mancini can only deal in wins if City are to keep their title defence alive
As far as Man City are concerned, Sunday's draw with Liverpool has to be a case of two points dropped rather than one gained. With Manchester United easing away from them at the top of the table, City can only concern themselves with wins now if they are to mount a challenge and make the title race interesting. Sergio Aguero is a quality player and it was a decent finish from him to earn a point; he's back with a bang and that can only be good news for Manchester City, particularly with Mario Balotelli gone and making an immediate impact at Milan. I'm sure that Mancini wants Balotelli to be a success - even if it's not at City! For Liverpool, Steven Gerrard showed once again what a top, top player he is and how crucial he is to that football club in terms of their success. I know he's desperate for Liverpool to win the Premier League title and he's just hoping that it comes before he has to pack the old game in.
I hope Goran Popov apologises for spitting at Tottenham's Kyle Walker
All credit to Mark Clattenburg for sending Goran Popov off at the weekend - Popov got his just desserts. The referee did what he had to do and nobody can have any complaints about it. I don't think anybody wants to see spitting in the game and Popov will learn from this - he won't do it again. We all make mistakes so let's not be too hard on him even if he was out of order. Hopefully he's going to apologise and move on.
The Brazil friendly is a big occasion for England's Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney
Ashley Cole has been - and still is - a wonderful, wonderful left-back. He's played brilliantly for club and country over the years and has been a credit to his profession in the way that he's performed. Getting to 100 England caps is a huge achievement. Of course, he is getting pushed all of the way now by Leighton Baines, who is having a fantastic season of his own but I'm sure Roy Hodgson will go with Ashley on Wednesday and give him that chance to join the 100 club. I'm really looking forward to what I hope will be a good game on Wednesday. The only thing I would say is that Brazil aren't the team of old when they used to put 11 players together and pass the ball around every and any football team that they wanted to. They are not like that anymore - they're a bit more human than they used to be! I'm sure that Wayne Rooney will admit that he hasn't played his best in an England shirt of late. I think that this could be a game for him to come out and show the rest of the world how good he is. Roy Hodgson has picked a strong squad - he's gone for experience and put people in there who have got stature and character, which is nice to see because you need experience as well as some younger players in the team. We've see that in the Premier League this season; you need players who know the ropes and have been there before.

The Champions League Group Stage draw pitted Arsenal with Montpellier, Olympiacos and Schalke.
In Euro Watch, we take a weekly check on the progress of Arsenal's European opponents in their domestic leagues.
Montpellier 1-1 Saint-Etienne
Friday, September 21
Montpellier's stuttering start to the season continued with a draw against Saint-Etienne. Pierre Aubameyang gave the visitors the lead on the stroke of half time, before Souleymane Camara levelled things up with 20 minutes to go. Montpellier have won just one of their first six Ligue 1 games and are 16th in the table.
Schalke 0-2 Bayern Munich
Saturday, September 22
Schalke went down to their first defeat of the season, losing at home to Bayern Munich. After a goalless first half, the visitors struck twice in three second-half minutes with goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller securing victory for Bayern. Schalke are fifth in the Bundesliga with seven points from four games.
Olympiacos 4-1 Panthrakikos
Sunday, September 23
Olympiacos maintained their 100 per cent start to the Superliga season with a convincing victory over Panthrakikos. The hosts were three up inside half an hour, thanks to goals from Rafik Djebbour, Jose Holebas and an own goal from Dimitris Sikliopidis. Djebbour grabbed his second after 51 minutes, before the visitors scored a late consolation.

Sorta looks like the one I posted, but that stock looks longer than mine.
Should work.
Edit: Here's the picture:
It used to have the gold bans around the barrel and the stock and had the same orange tip. I think it was my brother's gun when he was a kid.
There's no brand or anything on mine, just has Davy Crockett on the stock and a sticker that says something like "Made in America, by Americans".
Looks ok to me apart from the silver (we paint it black) breech plates. A greeblie hides them anyway though
The stock is more curved too. Looks almost graceful.
You could sand them down anyway?
Here's a real one and yours
Your stock would need a lot of work plus you'd be missing the loading rod basket. (thing underneath)
ya...i suppose the cheaper way isnt always the better way..LOL:lol
probably just breakdown and spend the 100 on ebay
I think it'd be a great start... in fact I'd be very interested in seeing that

About the Butterfly Program
The Butterfly Program, originally founded by Porter Hospice of Centura Health at Home and Children's Hospital Colorado, has filled a unique and relatively empty niche in the Denver metropolitan community since 1999. Children and their families contending with serious illnesses are able to access supportive services including nursing, social work, chaplaincy, and expressive therapy while receiving curative and therapeutic medical interventions aligned with their goals of care. The focus of the program is solely on the quality of life for the child, and their families.
The Butterfly Program admits children equitably on the basis of need, not the ability to pay for services. Community support has a profound impact to help provide care to these children including counseling, chaplain visits and bereavement services which are not reimbursed.

I'm a 20-year-old female and you could easily put me in the 'not-sure-what-to-do-in-life' category. I think I'm not really wanted here but I still want to hear your advice.
First of all, I'm not a native speaker but I daresay I'm pretty much fluent in English (oral).
I have some teaching experiences, e.g. as a student I worked as an English tutor and I was a private tutor in a foreign country (including other subjects such as Maths, Biology, Geography) for some kids. But it was never really 'professional' like working for the government or at an institute.
Soo, I'm now preparing to get into a university in England but it's all unsure whether I get accepted or not (results in February). I stumbled upon the idea of earning money (I don't have any qualifications, I started university but decided to drop it) by teaching English because it's something I like to do and can be fun while being abroad. I consider myself a travelling hobo so I <thought> about doing the CELTA. It's neither something I want to do for all my life (since I want to get into university and I have some other plans) nor is it something I want to do for a 'gap year'. I want to do it for myself and whenever I'm abroad, I at least have a wee bit of guarantee of finding a job as an English teacher.
So what do you think about my idea? The motivation is here, the money I am currently working for.
I'm just hesitating after I read through some threads and what I've perceived so far is that people like me doing the CELTA are frowned upon..... if so, what alternative would you advice me to do for teaching English? Furthermore I'm not a native speaker but I think I'm still allowed to do the CELTA? I have done the Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English and I got a grade C (I know I could've done better and I regret it but I was 16 and lazy).
Thank you for reading and I hope you can help me decide my future.

Hey everyone,
I'm Andry (a.k.a. Dart if you're a 501st member (Canadian Garrison); Ori Kebiin if you're a Merc) and I just figured I'd stop by and register here. While I'm not working on a Boba, I am working on my own Mando and I'm hoping to absorb whatever general info I can get from what looks to be an awesome site.
While I can't wait to get full access to this joint, I think my wallet is somewhat nervous.

Friday 19th February
To be honest, I thought 3/1 at the bookies was generous odds for a home win in the week. You could call that slightly deluded on my part but I would back our team against anyone in the world at home. Even arguably the greatest team since football began.
We all knew the various aspects that needed to be in place if we were to get a positive result on Wednesday night. We needed to be totally on top of our game when it came to fitness and sharpness, tactically correct in our decision making, defensively strong, offensively efficient, patient, have Lady Luck on our side and, on top of that of course, have us lot making some serious noise to get behind the team.
Overall, on the night I think we can be pretty satisfied that we achieved the majority.
The anticipation for the game in recent days has been immense, a combination of the fixture itself and the whole rematch situation after last year's encounter.
As a result you could feel the atmosphere approaching Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal versus Barcelona is always going to be a special night but even we couldn't have predicted quite how memorable it would turn out to be.
Reading both Mr Wenger and Cesc's programme notes that made it very clear we may well see a totally different aspect to the games we are used to witnessing by the fact there may well be periods where we wouldn't touch the ball. The fact they openly admitted to being aware of this gave me confidence.
The game itself was absolutely awesome. There is no other way to describe it. Our visitors were quite simply the best footballing side we are ever likely to witness. But we were ready, we rode our luck a little and, after RVP came close, on more than one occasion in the first period they were also aware of our threat.
When time was running out we were immense, took our chances and put ourselves into a half-time lead in the tie.
Our second was a magnificent counter-attacking move, brilliantly finished by the Meerkat. The jostle and noise that followed was arguably the craziest we have seen since we moved home. Believe me, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end, a simply incredible moment.
Of course, we are only half way there but we can travel out to Spain knowing that this incredible team are beatable. We will still be massive underdogs of course but, with the elements above all present, you never know. One thing is for sure, we will never forget Wednesday February 16th 2011. It was special.
In a strange kind of way Sunday's trip to Leyton Orient is of equal importance. An FA Cup Fifth Round tie that is a perfect example of what the greatest ever Cup competition is all about.
The stadium just about holds a similar amount of people as to how many Leeds brought to the Emirates in the Third Round. That perhaps, is the best indication as to what we face.
I expect it to be an extremely tough encounter and one where, once again, we need to be on top of our game to progress. The last eight is a huge prize as an incentive.
Come on you Yellows!!

If the ranger is currently 4x4, then it should have a bw1354 case in it - which is plenty strong unless you want to use something like a doubler/atlas.....but IMO I would leave it alone.
As for axles, common axles used are XJ D30s' (IIRC 96+ has the stouter shafts/U joints - they use these because width is the same as the 8.8 in the rear and bolt patterns will match), the D44/9" from the old bronco's - but IMO those are way to expensive for what they're worth, a 44 or 60 from the 78/79 fords, you can cut/narrow them or leave full width, but then you've got to do the back as well if you go full width. Also, waggoneer axles work up front if I'm not mistaken, thought I can't remember what years work (or what years had D side drop)
First thing you need to do is decide what type of suspension you want - leaf/coil. If you go coil do you want to do a early bronco C-wedge type axle, make your own links, etc......
You can try pirate as well - alot of know how is overthere (especially mr. N)

Not only will you need a T-case, you'll also need a new transmission.
The trans in the truck will not work with any T case without swaping both the tail shaft housing and the output shaft - the 2wd and 4wd version transmission do infact have different output shafts, so it's not a wham bam thing (unless you go custom with something like an atlas....I'm sure it could be made, but thats going to be mega bucks). Additionally, the trans will have to be totally torn down to swap the output shaft....
The next issue is the vehicles computer. While ford did offer some level II rangers with the lever operated transfer cases, other models are electric shift - and given that those lever operated T-cases are fairly new they're going to be expensive as well. Another option would be the older (80's - early 90's) lever operated T-cases, though I'm not sure on their input shafts and the compatibility with a new 4x4 trans. So, if you're going to go electronic shift you'd have to wire all the stuff up for that - including the 4x4 module.
So now you're thinking "I just want to use a damn NP205" right? Wrong - can't be done without a fancy adapter to the 2wd trans. You could swap the whole transmission for something else that's not found in an RBV (ranger/bronco vehicle), but the only way you'll get it to bolt up to the 4.0 is with a fancy adapter....if you check out myers machine over at RRORC I think that he's still making custom mounting plates to adapt any trans to a 4.0 - though I think they only work on OHV 4.0's.....if you're buddy's got an 00' ranger I dont think it's an OHV motor (thought they went out of production in 98, could be wrong though).
So, now you've got to do some research on that issue....do you put a new motor/trans/t-case in it, swap to a 4wd ranger trans/t-case and electrics, or have some fancy adapter made for the trans. Also, keep in mind if this vehicle ever has to be legal/plated in another state that does emissions testing the power train you swap in has to be 2000 or newer (year of the truck and newer).....I'm not sure how those laws apply to transmission swaps, but I'd check into it if he plans to keep it and move out of state.
While it could be done - converting this 2wd to 4wd, it will be very time consuming and could be very expensive. Personally, if it were me I'd start with a 4x4 to begin with, but to each his own.
On to the suspension: If you're running a 9" out back you can chose to run leafs or do a 4 link. But with the front, if you're going to run the 44 with coil springs the easiest set up is to find a C-wedge style axle and use the EB radius arms. Wrist one of them to allow maximum flex. You'll need custom coil buckets, which pottsy over at RRORC makes (guy does awsome fab work - would recommend everything he does). Also, you'll have to consider the track bar/track bar mount. I know with earlier ranger (that have TTB suspension under them) the engine cross member must be modified for clearance - I'm not sure how far the one on the new SLA trucks hangs down, but I'm guessing it's going to have to be modded as well.
If theres one thing I would stress its the fact that you should do lots of research on this before you start if you want to have a nicely built streetable truck. Theres a big difference from doing 10mph on the trail and 80 mph on the highway

Your best bet is to probably go with an 8.8 out of a fullsize along with a dana 44 front. That way you would have the same bolt pattern and still have the abs sensor in the rear. Alot of guys are then running newer dodge 16" wheels to tuck the tires back in a little.

Firefiend's Dirty 5.5 Gallon
Since I'm rescaping my 10 gallon NPT I'm taking the opportunity to establish my 5 gallon; my 2.5 gallon and another nano (which I haven't purchased yet) for my office desk. They will all be soil based substrates and I am eagerly awaiting my invitation to join the Fraternity of Dirt! And if my nano's don't get me inducted I purchases a 55 at the last $1 per gallon sale and am planning that for next summer!
So, on the tank specs.
5.5 Gallon tank
23w 6500K CF bulb set to a height that produces on the high end of the low-light range (low/med).
Soil based substrate.
I have a Tom's mini-internal already but I might opt for a HOB instead (read "almost definitely will").
No ferts; Glut as needed.
What should I cap with? I have lots of extra 2mm pea gravel from my 10 gallon but I'd really like to use sand. What's everyone experience with sand on a nano?
My Theme
The tank will located in a place where three sides of the tank will be visible so I wanted the outsides of the tank to be mostly open. I have the two rocks (not perfect renditions), one is tall and almost goes above water (left stone); the stone that is more middle is more elongated and shorter (and will probably get a java fern on it.)
The stones are surround by three small groupings B. Monnieri which will be allowed to grow emergent. I'm considered mixing in another thin stemmed emergent plant as well. This side of the tank will be openly visible and carpeted with some S. Subulata.
Moving right I transition to some bushier plants with the Lutea and Tropica. Their height will be softened by the emergent Bacopa and Sagittaria.
The right side of the tank which will be the "closed" side, will be carpeted with pygmy chain swords; this will give a contrast to the slightly taller subulata and will also give a bit more depth with the floating/emersed Hydrocotlye above.
I'm debating putting a couple small groups of E. Najas in the corners to fill in the space a bit and create a bit of a bushier zone to keep this side of the tank from being to open. Another possibility would be to plant some C. Willisii along the right side to create the same effect. The advantages of the Najas is that is grows fast but this could also be a disadvantage. The Cyrpt, of course grows more slowly. So If my current plant selection is fast growing enough to ward of algae and establish the tank then maybe I'll just go with the Crypt.
My Layout
The Fauna
I'm not really sure what I want to go with and am very open to suggests here. After reading about Dwarf Puffers I'd really like to get one but I don't think this layout is especially built for them so perhaps my next 5 gallon will be more jungle-like. Betta's are always great and I think this would be a great fit for one but I already have a betta so some variety might be in order. My 10 Gallon is going to have either H. Rasboras or Cherry Barbs. So if I go with barbs in the 10 I can go with Rasboras here.
Any suggestions on shrimp or fiddler crabs (especially if I go with a sand substrate cap)?
Firstly, what's npt, and secondly, I think that some Endlers or neons would look nice in there.
NPT, natural planted tank....generally means dirt is the base substrate and plants do most of the filtering.
NPT - natural planted tank
Broad term for soil based aquariums.
Many are trying to tie the use of this term to the works of Dianna Walstad author of Ecology of the Planted Aquarium.
The author herself doesn't claim this if any bother to actually read her book.
Others have tied it to only low light or natural light, no CO2 systems with an emphasis on low-tech, natural aquariums and aquatic plants.
(lack of techy stuff)
I like this web posted description that's from a site dedicated to the topic:
The term "Natural Aquarium" can be used to describe different types of planted aquariums, including any planted aquarium. To me a natural aquarium is a low tech planted tank, generally set up to resemble natural types of settings. These tanks are usually a bit less formal than some of the other planted tank styles, and can often include invertebrates as well as fish and plants. I think of a natural aquarium as compared to other aquariums as a country garden is to a more formal one.
To me NPT is the use of dirt as the primary media under a containing cap material.
Google it and you spend the rest of the day reading the results.
Bwahahaha Welcome! and pick a number!
Hmmmm, no one has any experience with sand caps for soil?
Pool supply stores carry 50# bags for around 12 - 15$ (I called three places in Vancouver). Lowes has several varieties of sand for 2-4$ for a 50# bag.
I would prefer the cheaper priced sand, obviosuly. But if its going to be more of a pain than the filter sand I should probably go with the filter sand, yes?
Well, I bought the silica sand. Now just need to wait for the finance gods to allow the ordering of plants.
I also got my photoshop running and managed to get a more accurate layout of the tank with the rocks I'm going to use.
So this is more or less what I'm going for.
sand is a common cap for soil, so their alot of people wit experience with it. In my walstad bowls I used pool filter sand. Some forms of sand compact more than other and some have sharp edges that arent good for cories and other bottom feeders.
Planted on 8.31.11
Well I actually planted this tank on 8.31. These are the pics from right after planting. The tank sits on the bar that separates my kitchen from the dining area. I get to view the tank of both long sides and I absolutely love this tank because of it.
This is the "left" side; it faces the dining area.
The photo below shows the "right" side; the side you can see from the kitchen.
There is only a single white cloud in there right now. He's eventually going to be moved to my office aquarium when I buy a few more buddies for him.
18 Day Update!
This tank is doing really well. The Crypts are taking off, the E. Tenellus is sending out runners and S. Subulata is also spreading. The R. Roundiflora is growing nicely which is quite the opposite of the stems I put in my 10 gallon. The L. Arcuata is doing well also.
Sorry for the poor quality pic. I'll do better next time.
Seems like a good balance between lots of plants (more NPT) and a nice aquascape (more for asthetics) with your rocks in there.
What fish do you have in there now? Still the lone white cloud?

Black and Asian members of the police charge that many specialist squads are "closed shops" which are dominated by white middle-aged men who prefer those similar to their point of view that a good policeman works hard, plays hard and drinks a lot of alcohol. A new report: "Police and Racism: What has Been Achieved 10 Years After the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry? identifies continuing problems of racism including low retention of ethnic minority officers. About 6.1% of ethnic minority officers quit or were sacked in 2007 after less than six months of service compared to 3.1% of their white colleagues. A black officer who applied to work as a race and diversity trainer was told: "I've got my black one."
The report also notes continued prejudice against gay officers. The famous Stephen Lawrence case involved the murder of a black man by a gang of young white men and police approached the case from the perspective that Lawrence somehow had provoked a gang to kill him.
The continuing halt and search of blacks and Asians in England continues, but it is even worse when one considers prejudice impacts who can become a member of the police, and once hired, what are opportunities for advancement.
Heck, Prince Harry goes around calling people "Paki" and "Raghead" so why should anyone expect anything different from members of the police?

2012 GMC Canyon Racing brake pads are designed to handle the extreme heat a braking system will see during a track session. Some cars can see up to 1600 degrees on a race track! A normal street pad would disintegrate under this extreme heat, which is why Race specific pads have been built. However, most race specific brake pads wont operate in the cooler heat range that replacement brake pads operate in. Heat must be maintained for the brakes to perform. That's why we recommend street/performance brake pads for cars that are daily driven as well as raced.
When it comes to selecting a 2012 GMC Canyon racing brake pad, you will want to figure out what type of racing you are participating in and what heat range you are getting into. Some brakes will only perform well once they have reached a certain temperature, selecting the right pad for your race car can be crucial to finishing the race without damaging your rotors or pads.
If you need help choosing Brake Rotors or Brake Pads for your vehicle, give us a call! We have professional brake technicians standing by ready to answer any questions you may have! 888-257-7149

On Wednesday it was 50 years since the Munich disaster. The Busby Babes' final game in England was a famous 5-4 victory at Highbury and we asked Arsenal.com visitors for their recollections of that game and that special team. Here are some of the emails we have had:
As usual when I went to school on Monday we had to write in our
'News' books what we did at the weekend and I wrote about
going to the Arsenal. I can remember listening to the radio and
hearing about the plane crash when I got up on the morning of
February 7. When I went to school it was all I could think and talk
about because I had seen those players only a few days earlier. I
kept crying and no-one could quite understand why. Of course there
wasn't the media coverage as there would be today, most
families didn't even have a television so the only photographs
we saw of the crash were in the newspapers.
Tina Evans, Poole
That United team played with a freedom and skill level that I
had never seen. They were so young and Arsène's recent teams
remind me of the way that team played. Duncan Edwards,Tommy Taylor
and Roger Byrne were great players and Bobby Charlton was clearly
going to be outstanding. The crash was a stunning tragedy and made
even more poignant by having seen that great game at Highbury.I
still have the programme and that for the next game in which I, as
a 14-year old, had ringed the names of those who had died. The
impact was huge and seeing all the programmes this week brings back
the memories.
Tony Harbour, High Wycombe
They were the superstars of that time and us boys playing
football on the street adopted their names as well as those of our
Highbury heroes. Lots of people wore black armbands in the
immediate aftermath of that sad event.
Ron McGarvey, Sandbach
I was at that game as a 14-year old schoolboy. I used to catch
the special bus from Peckham to Highbury for all the home games. I
remember the game as though it was yesterday. Arsenal had been
playing well and we thought that the excellent Stan Charlton should
be England's next right back. Albert Scanlon destroyed him that
day, making runs from the halfway line and speeding past him time
and again. Stan was never the same again. It was the best game I
ever saw at Highbury and Duncan Edwards, like a huge tank,
dominated the game, although I remember him and Roger Byrne fouling
winger Danny Clapton on numerous occasions! Man United were a fine
side but it was their huge potential that we judge them by because
they were nowhere at their peak and would have become probably the
best side ever.
Frank Grace, Cumbria
The game against United was the first game I went to without my dad. I was let down with a ticket so got the Tube with a friend and did not get to the ground until just before kick-off. There was a huge crowd but, as a 10 year old, we were passed through to the front. Unfortunately this took some time, we could see nothing but we heard the roar for the first United goal, then another for the second. By the time we got to the front we were 3-0 down, just as the first half ended. I seem to remember it being a bog of a pitch. The second half started and within five minutes or so we were level. Tremendous noise but United quickly got another couple of goals. We did score again but the game ended 4-5. United had Scanlan and Morgan on the wings and a very young Bobby Charlton, who was just establishing himself at the time.
A great but tragic memory. I am so glad that I got there, I so
nearly didn't.
Michael Fisher, Hitchin
My dad, Edward Sutton, who himself passed away two days after
Arsenal won the 1998 Premiership title, used to always talk to me
about this game. He continually spoke of this game as being the
greatest that he had ever seen. He was a bondholder and
season-ticket holder in the North Bank and he witnessed many
wonderful games down the years at Highbury, but NONE had the impact
on him that this game did.

Tony Harbour, High Wycombe
I was 15-years old and stood in the North Bank, to get my first sight of Duncan Edwards and the Busby Babes. It wasn't just Edwards scoring that stood out, but his immense power as he carried the ball from United's half before putting an unstoppable shot past Jack Kelsey. The pace and skill of the entire team was just too much for Arsenal of the day, and 3-0 at half-time was a fair reflection.
Man United were naturally very relaxed in the second half, but for the Gunners to level it at 3-3 was astonishing. Man United just upped the pace to win the most amazing match I have ever experienced 5-4, although the real impact was not obvious until after I learned of the crash in Munich.
I was an Arsenal trialist at the time and was on my way to Highbury on February 6 for training when I saw the front page of an evening newspaper with a picture of the crumpled plane in Munich.
The mood at training was quiet and sombre, and I remember Billy Milne, then the Gunners' trainer, sobbing in the dressing room, talking about how that magnificent team had been here just a few days before. Training was brought to an early close that evening, but the match, the events of February 6 and the sadness of losing so many talented footballers will always live with me.
May God bless them all.
Tony Brigden, East Bergholt, Suffolk
This was my first game at Highbury, Being eight-years-old and
football mad this was a great treat. With two pals we started the
Saturday morning with pictures at the Angel then on to Highbury I
had never before experienced so many people in one place the queues
at the turnstiles were massive.
We thought there's no chance of us getting in we finally got into the Clock End at the back jumping up and down trying to see over the heads of thousands until one kind gent picked us up and started our trip over heads to the very front this was great. We were 3-0 down at half-time and our heads sunk but then a great transformation to 3-3. What a comeback. Then United hit us with two more but we were not going down without a fight. We nearly did it.
All three of us went home voices croaking but still able to give
our version to our parents from that day on I became a true Arsenal
supporter seeing so many great games and disappointments.
Sadly days after news came of the Munich disaster how I felt and
millions more of this sad loss of life in football I was unashamed
to shed a tear but proud to think I had seen the Busby Babes play
Stuart Winyard, London
I was 12-years old and in those days I regularly travelled on my own from Brookmans Park on the train to Finsbury Park then a walk down to Highbury past Alex James' shop and the Finsbury Park Empire, where invariably Billy Cotton and his band would top the bill. It was perfectly safe, in those days for a young boy to walk the streets with his scarf, rosette and rattle and all rival supporters enjoyed a friendly rivalry!
I remember it was a cold grey afternoon but the excitement of a
visit from the "Busby Babes" set the heart racing. We
were silently hoping for the miracle of a good result for the"
Gunners" but realistically we knew it was a forlorn hope. The
team was enjoying a very poor season and had been humiliatingly
knocked out of the Cup by Northampton Town, so it looked like a
cakewalk for the Manchester boys and it looked like our worst fears
were to be realised as the brilliant Babes swept to a 3-0 halftime
lead. Even Jack Kelsey (in my opinion Arsenal's greatest
keeper) made a couple of uncharacteristic errors!
The Gunners had no answer to the likes of Edwards, Taylor, Pegg, Scanlon etc.
I can't think of many times being so excited and happy after
a defeat but the entire crowd knew they had witnessed that once in
a life time moment of magic and the memory still gives me
goosebumps. Just a few days later listening to the news bulletins,
opening the treasured programme and ringing the names of those who
had perished with tears streaming down my face. I was privileged to
be at Highbury that afternoon!
Alan Lee, Victoria, Australia
As a regular on the North Bank at Highbury from 1955 until the present time at the Emirates I was fortunate as a 15-year old boy to witness this great game. I have always thought that this was one of the best matches I have ever seen, not because of the subsequent tragic events, but because of the actual game itself. The sheer excitement following our unbelievable second half comeback in front of the North Bank after being three down at half time. The standard of football played by both sides on a mud bath of a pitch and, despite losing, the feeling on walking down the terraces at the end of the match that it would be a very long time before I would ever see such a game again.
We had a wonderful team ourselves at the time but were so
envious of the 'Babes' and their all round talent. There
was not a weakness to be seen anywhere in their 11 that day. When I
heard of the plane crash the following Thursday I felt so sorry for
the club, their families and supporters yet so privileged to be
have seen their last display on English soil albeit at Highbury and
not Old Trafford as it should surely have been.
David Clifford, London
I was fortunate enough to be at the match on February 1st 1958. I sat in the Western Enclosure, immediately opposite the Directors' Box in the east stand.
Among others in the enclosure that day were bandleader Geraldo, disk-jockey Pete Murray and his friend Leslie Wise, and I think Dai Rees the professional from South Herts Golf Club, Ralph Reader of Scout Gang Show and others.
At the end of this incredible, exhilarating game we all agreed it was probably the best and most thrilling match any of us had ever witnessed, in spite of the fact that we were beaten. We were, of course, unaware of the heartbreaking and poignant reason we would still be discussing the match 50 years later.
I send sincere best wishes to all those affected by the tragedy.
Cy Saunders, Lymington, Hampshire
I was at the game in 1958 - and can still recall the euphoria of
pulling back those three goals in just three minutes. Hardly
had the cheering for a goal subsided than we were on our feet
raising the roof again - and again!! To lose against that
magnificent Manchester United side was no disgrace - on the
contrary to run them so close that afternoon was UNFORGETABLE.
Perhaps, in part that was because of the events that followed -
but, notwithstanding, how often has anyone, at any game, ever seen
their team come back from three goals down in only 3 minutes before
or since? That we lost is of no consequence - we were there!
Up the Gunners!
Ted Thibalt, Brighton
I had the honour of being at Highbury a few days before when
United played their last game in England before flying off for the
European game. At the time United were the best team in England and
probably Europe while Arsenal to be honest were only average.
However, somehow they played above themselves and the two clubs
produced a game of football that was and still is the greatest game
of football I have seen.
There were more than 60,000 fans in the stadium but I swear not one left before the end and when the referee brought the game to an end the whole crowd stood and cheered both teams off the field and the players who sensed they had played in a special game walked off arm in arm.
Gerry Swain, Rainham
I was aged 10 and, as is the case today, the Manchester United
game was the most eagerly awaited every season. Although a young
boy, this game made an immense impression on me and, as a result of
the tragic event a few days later, still remains very vivid in my
memory today. From 3-0 down; back to 3-3; then 5-3 before finally
losing 5-4.
I was awarded a special prize for the essay I had published in my junior school magazine after the Munich disaster. Entitled "The Person I Would Most like to Meet" it recounted how I would have liked to meet (Sir) Matt Busby. His survival for life certainly made an impression on me.
Duncan Vesey, London
I was at this most remarkable and amazing match. I must admit at
that time I was jealous of the United team. They were great and
were almost unbeatable whereas Arsenal were in an indifferent
transition period.
Who can forget this match! Arsenal, three goals down at half time and no way back. However, within 10 minutes of the restart Arsenal had drawn level with three goals in as many minutes. Then United hit back and led 5-3. The home team do score again and come within a whisker of equalising as the United post is hit. Final score 4-5. What a game. No yellow, red cards or crowd trouble!!
Then the horror of the following week. Not only all the players that were lost but the well known reporters, especially Frank Swift a truly larger than life character who I would hear on Sports Report or read his articles in the Sunday papers.
Bernard Chaplin, Ilford
I was a 12-year-old Arsenal supporter and watched this match from my normal vantage point on the North Bank. I have seen many great games at Highbury over the years but this one has always stood out in my memory. The fact that Arsenal lost was almost irrelevant because those of us who had the privilege of being there witnessed a great game played by fantastic players which we have remembered all our lives. The news of the lives lost in the crash was even more poignant for us all as they, yes, Manchester United players, had given us so much pleasure just five days earlier.
I think we all supported that club at least a little bit whilst
they reformed and under Matt Busby built a new great side.
How times have changed but for those of us who can look back on
that match on 1st February 1958 we can feel pleasure that we were
there but the sadness of subsequent events has come flooding back.
Bernard Lovewell, Hitchin
I was at the game 50 years ago, aged 20, a year younger than Duncan Edwards, and my recollection of the day was what a thrilling and unforgettable game it was. We had had a pretty poor season up to this point but turned the corner after our tremendous fight back in that game.
However, it all paled into insignificance as a result of the
terrible tragedy a few days later and I firmly believe that
whichever team one supported the whole nation of football
supporters were united in grief.
Jeff Kill, South Croydon
I was 11-years old at the start of 1958. I was born in Manchester and my family were all Manchester City fans. But I had switched to Manchester United, attracted by the press reports and the coverage in football magazines about the exciting Busby Babes.
The family had moved to Hitchin, North Hertfordshire, and my school friend - who lived four houses away - was an Arsenal fan. His father invited me to go to a football match with them. It was Arsenal v Manchester United on 1 February 1958. I can remember being very excited. I had never been to a 'big' football match before.
I have some faint recollections of the day - walking from Finsbury Park to Highbury, the huge crowds, and sitting in seats that seemed to be really high up above the pitch. I had seen the Busby Babes in action. But I had also seen other great players - names I knew from Charlie Buchan's Football Monthly. Players like Jack Kelsey, David Herd, Derek Tapscott, Dave Bowen, Vic Groves.
I then remember - a few days later - coming home in the evening
from a piano lesson to hear the radio reports of the Munich crash.
It just didn't seem possible. If didn't seem fair. I often
travel into London on the train, with Highbury in the distance -
and now the impressive Emirates Stadium close by. As the train
passes Highbury, I often think about that match and wonder what
Duncan Edwards - and the others - might have achieved.
Geoff Platt, Hitchin
I was there, a skinny little 13 year-old, on my usual spot of terrace, squeezed up against the railings at the bottom of the North Bank, just to the left of the goal. Clutching my sixpenny programme, in which I used to scrawl the numbers of the goals in sequence against the players' names - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 that day. I had to be down the front, it was the only way I could see anything - but it did mean I had my nose more or less at pitch level. Not much sense of perspective there!
United were the strongest, fastest, most skilful and best organised team I had seen. I'd read about them, of course, but I was blown away by the way they played. And so were Arsenal. 3-0 down by half-time and it could have been more - in fact it should have been more. My clearest memory of an individual moment in the match is when, just before half-time, Tommy Taylor lobbed Jack Kelsey from outside the area and the ball looped towards us, heading for the empty goal.
Watching Duncan Edwards was part of my football education. He
was massive in the first half, in which United played towards us;
we couldn't stop him, and we couldn't get the ball off him.
I wanted him in a red-and-white shirt; even more, I wanted to be
him. What is hard to get a grip on is that no-one at the match had
the faintest idea that it was the last time we'd ever see half
the United team. It was just another match, another defeat to
United - still one of the most exciting games I've ever seen.
Five days later it became historic.
Michael Shade, East Sussex
I was at Highbury for the Man United game. What a game. I came
home from school on that fateful day and cried my heart out when I
heard the news. I went to the cup final that season and wept again
when united lost. But I am Gooner forever.
John Tribe, Notts
Thank you for giving me the opportunity of giving my
recollections of that week.
I was 14 and was a keen supporter, living in Ruislip. Three of us from school went to the match on the Saturday. Bob was also an Arsenal supporter and Willy was a United fan. It was the first time I had seen the "Busby Babes" live and I had been excited all week.
I don't recall too much detail about the match itself except Duncan Edwards' goal which was from about 20 yards and stayed about two foot off the ground for the whole of its length. We got a bit excited when Arsenal managed to fight back but then United applied the pressure again and drew away.
Since then I have been privileged to watch several significant matches live - 1966 World cup Final; Dundee v Milan in Semi-Final of European Cup: Charlie's goal to beat Liverpool in the Cup Final; the end of the run of "The Invincibles" at Old Trafford - but I always say that match in February, 1958 had the most lasting effect on me.
Roger Saines, Birmingham

Hello All
I have an 04 WRX and the Turbo Inlet Pipe was cracked so I bought an aftermarket silicone one to replace it. Now besides the stupid issues of vacuum lines and the plastic fitting being brittle and braking I have one Major Issue. One the 04 WRX and I assume newer since it was first introduced on the 04, there is what seems to be a Pressure Sensor that was connected Directly to the original Turbo Inlet. It slid directly into one of the plastic fittings on the inlet, how ever the new inlet has metal hose fittings and does not slid into it / around it like the old one. Has anyone else run into this issue and could they Please help me out in coming up with a viable solution that will work. I have read another post on NASIOC that someone had the same issue but the suggestions there were to just bypass it because they didn't know what it did and it didn't seem to set off the CEL. I would rather not do this and keep it the way it was so if anyone has had this issue and actually found a solution, Please Help. Link to the NASIOC post is below...

what are some good choices for the southpaws that have right side mag release, slide release, and safety release.
i don't think that there are that many out there
Walther PPQ, HK45 & P30, S&W M&P (reversable mag release) to name a few.
I have a Beretta 92FS and had the mag release switched to the right side - works great for me.
my taurus pt92 and pt100 both have ambi safeties, reversable mag releases but neither has an ambi slide release. i either use my trigger finger to release the slide or my off hand (right) middle finger as i am repositioning the supporting hand.
CZ 85 is the ampendex version of the 75......pretty nice gun right there!
Springfield XDm's have the mag release on both sides. Not aware of any that have the slide release on both or 'wrong side' though.
ppq without a doubt! best trigger, ergonomics, and looks of all listed here, ambi mag reliease and ambi slide lock.
The Beretta PX4 Compact F has an ambi safety/decocker, ambi slide release and reversable mag release. Being left handed, I've shot so long w/ righty controls that's the way I shoot, but kinda neat having an ambi slide release as you can get at it from either side. Excellent range and concealed firearm.
I'm a lefty. Generally speaking, I feel that most ambi designs never cover all controls and even if they do, the ejection port is still on the wrong side -- especially when shooting in the weaver stance where the casings can sometimes come right back in your face. To me, it's always a compromise of some sort. I just accept it and adapt my style as a left handed shooter for a right handed world. If you can adapt to right handed featured guns, you will have more choices.
That said, I wonder... would it be that difficult to simply mirror the right handed design components and manufacturing processes to produce a complete left handed model pistol? And, what is the percentage of left handed shooters out there? ... would it be enough to make it worthwhile for a manufacturer to go down this road?
I have never felt I needed a left hand specific pistol. I use my left middle finger to release magazines, and my trigger finger for slide release. Even on guns capable of switching the mag release button, I don't. It is actually harder for me to adjust my grip to use my thumb.
Revolvers are more of a challenge, but it just takes practice. I still carry a S&W snubbie almost daily with no real problems. All of it is a training issue.
I have a Ruger p95 that has safety and mag release on both sides. Have a look
Left side
Right side

Posted by: Understudy Your best bet is to put the bees in a shipping container and the queen with some workers in a queen cage. Ship it like two day to the destination.
Posted by: LET-CA The good news is that we have a good beekeeping store right in town, and Mann Lake has a warehouse outlet 20 minutes away in Woodland. Dadant is 100 miles north in Chico, too far for a quick trip but I have co-workers who pick stuff up for me when they visit their parents. Sacramento is a good place for bees (and people). I think you'll like it here.

Sixth form A-level and BTEC Business Studies students joined Arsenal Football Club on Tuesday, July 15, for a tour of the Gunners' home, Emirates Stadium and an opportunity to put their questions to Head of Marketing Angus Kinnear and Customer Service Manager, Penny Downs.
The students covered five Arsenal Business Studies pilot modules which are real-life case studies related to the Club and cover topics such as organisational structure, finance, customer care, catering and sponsorship which were developed in partnership with London Metropolitan University and Jon Pettigrew, a Business Studies teacher at South Camden Community School.
Students attending the session from Westminster Kingsway (Holloway Road Campus), Acland Burghley School, Camden and Highbury Grove School enjoyed a tour of Emirates Stadium in order to put their class work into context whilst thinking about questions to put to Arsenal Football Club's representatives from the customer care and marketing department inside the press conference room at the stadium.
Alan Sefton, Head of Arsenal in the Community said: "Like so many of our education initiatives, we're responding to demand from teachers who sometimes want an extra hook to which young people can relate. Today's event is a way for the young people to put the Club's case studies into context and explore beyond the subject matter. It may even help them with future career choices."
17 year-old student Adesoro Lawal-Solarin from Blackstock Road, Islington said: "The Q & A today with Angus and Penny has been extremely helpful. I'm currently studying business studies, but I've always been interested in the marketing side of business. Today, meeting Angus and listening to his insightful answers, has helped me with my career choice; I leave today knowing that I wish to go to university, take a course in marketing, and hopefully become a Marketing Manager within a football club in the future.
"This pilot study has worked well and I think it can motivate more young people to choose to take business studies in higher education. Penny and Angus were fantastic at answering all of the questions put to them."
Many insightful questions were raised at the hour-long Q & A session with Penny and Angus including: Why is it important for Arsenal, as a business, to separate its playing staff and working staff? This raised the discussion of whether this is actually important, and Penny explained that in fact, when looking at the separation, it's more of a physical separation. In truth, all players and staff are heading towards the same goal across the board in presenting Arsenal as a Club with tradition and a vision, and ultimately offering the best matchday experience for our supporters on all levels.
Angus answered questions across a wide range of topics and students were interested to learn about the significance of a tiered sponsorship structure at Arsenal for potential commercial partners, explaining that it allows for the Club to work with many other companies who will all have differing sponsorship objectives, but objectives that the Club ultimately can fulfil through the partnership.
The Q & A session falls under the work of Arsenal in the Community who undertake many education initiatives in order to engage young people using the power of football and fusing it with curriculum subjects.

Definitely for the better I think.

Our Tech Roundup posts have become weekly
Hi all:
Beginning with the Tech Roundup posted this past Monday, we've moved to a weekly format, replacing the weekday publishing schedule we adhered to for the past six years. There are a couple of different reasons we settled on this new schedule, though two major factors ruled them all:
1) Producing tech roundups each weekday was tedious; not only with the actual work of producing them, but making sure that one gets up each morning. It was never fun having to take a break from actual writing or testing just to jot up a Tech Roundup, believe me ;-)
2) There's more bang for your buck with a weekly publishing. Most often, each of our weekday roundups had 20 items listed, so overall there wasn't ever a great chance that something would grab you. But with a weekly schedule, our roundups could have 100 links or more, making the chances of you finding something intriguing much better.
In time, I'm hoping to move to another format that would rid the roundups entirely, and instead move to a live-update page with news that comes in. But for now, this shall suffice!
Thanks guys!

The virtues of a Radio 2-friendly tune triumphed at the Brit Awards as Emeli Sandé and newcomer Ben Howard shared the top prizes on a night when singer-songwriters defeated pop acts aimed at the dancefloor.
The pop single is currently thriving with Rita Ora, Olly Murs, Calvin Harris and Jessie J selling millions of downloads.
But the annual music industry ceremony thumbed its nose at those teen-friendly Radio 1 favourites, rewarding instead artists whose song-craft gives them a shot at Grammy awards and Adele-style success in the United States. Getting on the playlist at Radio 2, which now has a record 15 million listeners, has made that station the most important tastemaker.
The ceremony, presented by James Corden and held at the O2 Arena, made amends for offending Britain's two biggest-sellers last year.
At the 2012 awards Emeli Sandé was left in tears when organisers cut her Critic's Choice winner's speech from the show. The Scottish singer had prepared a brief "thank-you" but was devastated when Corden ignored her and instead asked Jessie J if she had any "tips" for the newcomer.
This time Sandé, 25, who gave up her medical training at the University of Glasgow to pursue a music career, was given centre-stage as she took the top award, Best British Album for her debut, Our Version of Events, and the Best British Female prize. Sandé, whose songs balance political issues with emotional soul-baring, was also invited to close the show.
"It wasn't the best of experiences last year," said the singer, whose debut album was the only 2012 release to sell more than one million copies.
Sandé, who performed at both the opening and closing Olympic Games ceremonies, and appeared at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, denied claims that she had been "over-exposed."
"I actually haven't done that much, but it's just what I have done have been huge events," said the star who jetted off to Hollywood after the awards to perform at Sir Elton John's Oscars party.
Picking up the Damien Hirst-designed trophy from US star Taylor Swift, she said: "This feels amazing. This is incredible and and I'm so happy to win this award."
The organisers also made good last year's snub to Adele, who thrust her middle finger at the cameras, in response to being cut-off in the middle of her winner's speech. The singer won Best Single for her James Bond theme "Skyfall" and collected her prize by video link from Los Angeles, where she is preparing for the Oscars.
David Joseph, the Brits chairman, promised to "rewrite that wrong" with enough time allocated for the singer to thank whomsoever she pleased, even if it meant running into a commercial break.
The night's surprise winner was Ben Howard, the acoustic singer-songwriter from Totnes, Devon, who took the Breakthrough Act and Best Male prize, defeating contenders including the chart-topping Rita Ora and Olly Murs.
Howard, who cites Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake as influences, built a grass-roots following, initially through the Devon and Cornish surfing fraternity and then social media.
Expanding his audience through intensive touring, Howard's debut album Every Kingdom achieved platinum status without any of the hype or aggressive marketing used to "break" a new act. His Brits live performance, introducing Howard to millions of ITV viewers, is expected to give the album a major boost.
Howard is tipped to follow Ed Sheeran's success in the US, and has announced a Central Park headline show for 5,000 fans in July after gaining huge acclaim when he supported folk-rockers Mumford & Sons on their tour.
This year's awards reflected a breakthrough year for British artists in the United States, where four of the top five-selling albums of last year were by UK performers – Adele's 21, Mumford & Sons' Babel and One Direction's two releases, Up All Night and Take Me Home.
Mumford & Sons, who stormed back to the Billboard No1 slot last week after winning the coveted Grammy award for Best Album with Babel, took the Best British Group award.
Collecting the award frontman Marcus Mumford said: "Thanks very much indeed. We weren't expecting that. I don't think we've really taken the opportunity to thank people who have come to our gigs."
The West London band defeated One Direction to the prize, on a poor night for X Factor-created stars. But the boyband was the beneficiary of a new Brits "global success" award for the UK artist which racked up the biggest international sales in 2012.
The quintet, fronted by teen idol Harry Styles, have sold over 14 million singles and 8 million albums and prompted scenes compared to "Beatlemania" in the US. Their Take Me Home album sold one million copies worldwide in its first week of release prompting Nick Gatfield, the head of Sony Music, to reveal that the band of 2010 X Factor runners-up was now a $50 million business.
Those hoping for a noisier, guitar-led alternative to the night's succession of polite, Radio 2-friendly winners were left disappointed as rock contenders The Vaccines and new teenage star Jake Bugg missed out.
Rihanna, winner of the International Female category for the previous two years, handed over her crown to Lana Del Rey, the New York singer whose single "Video Games" introduced her "gangster Nancy Sinatra" act to a mainstream audience. Frank Ocean, the R&B singer who disclosed his bisexuality before the release of his Channel Orange album and garage-rock duos The Black Keys also won international categories.
Instead of an "Outstanding Contribution" award, the organisers gave a "Special Recognition" award to War Child, the charity which provides relief for children caught up in the world's worst conflicts and has attracted artists including Radiohead, Sir Paul McCartney and Damon Albarn to donate exclusive tracks to its acclaimed fund-raising albums.
Muse opened the show, performing "Supremacy" with a 75-piece orchestra housed on three tiers against a backdrop of pyrotechnics and lasers.
Chris Wolstenholme, the Devon band's bassist, told The Independent. "You're going to be more nervous playing live at the show than you are for any gig. Your mum and grandparents are watching. There's nothing worse than making a mistake and going 'Oh God, I hope my grandma didn't hear that.'"
One Direction gave the first live performance of their Comic Relief single, a medley of Blondie's "One Way Or Another" and The Undertones' "Teenage Kicks".
US country star Taylor Swift put together a fire and ice-themed set, while Justin Timberlake, Mumford & Sons and Robbie Williams, a former multiple Brits winner who left empty-handed this time, also performed.
Despite the back-slapping at the O2, the UK record industry is still struggling to make the transition from physical to digital music. Trade association BPI said combined sales of CDs and downloads fell by 11.2 per cent to 100.5 million in 2012, although a rise in fans using streaming services like Spotify is helping fill the gap.
Performers like Sandé and Howard, who play live, write their own material and have global potential, are seen as offering the best hope of an artist-led return to increased sales, even if their music and demeanour lacks traces of rock's former "rebellious" spirit.
Although the Brits now aspires to be a showcase for music to compare with the Grammys, David Joseph said he would not ask star performers to emulate the US ceremony's wardrobe restrictions banning "sheer see-through clothing" and exposed "buttocks and female breasts".
"I would never ask anyone to dress in a certain way," he said. "Artists should be allowed to be as free as they want in terms of their expression and fashion."
