What do we think of the new Sky News website? On the plus side, it's much lighter and easier on the eye than the last one, which was all turgid blacks and blues if you remember.
The idea was to produce something minimal and clean, which I applaud. I'm all for clutter-free sites, but visually this site seems slightly incoherent. The lead stories, video box and all the news headline section get lost against the more polished logos for showbiz, weather and money below. The top of the page doesn't seem to have a focus, which leaves your eyes wandering across the page.
Compare a Showbiz story page to a news story page. There's minimal, and then there's bland. It's just all too small and fiddly. Make the pictures bigger, or the logo, or the headlines or something but tell me what to read!
Loading times seem good, at least without any technical testing, but I'm reading an article about Madonna and woah - what's this? A nasty pop-up ad covers the text. That loses a few points.
It seems strange to have a blank box in the top left corner - prime real estate in internet terms: maybe that banner ad is just too prominent. Yes, there are links to blogs, photo galleries and RSS feeds, but those should be a given these days. This is Sky News: isn't it all about the video?
There's a Flash player that shows the latest headlines, and selected video reports, most watched videos and plugs the video podcast. All fair enough, but this doesn't seem high profile enough. It's by far the strongest content on the site.
This being the internet, there is no such thing as a finished website and no doubt all sorts of bells and whistles will be added soon. I wanted to like it, but couldn't help feeling it was a bit lacklustre. Anyone else?

It's not what you think it is. It doesn't "run on water." A battery inside the car separates the water into H2 and O2, then burns that. So the water is irrelevant to the equation: the battery itself could just run the car. Separating and then recombining water actually loses energy. You'll have to recharge the battery offline.
Somehow I doubt a claim that the Second Law of Thermodynamics has been repealed can be supported by one video from Reuters.
What's the big deal?
The USA had a truck that ran on water back in WWII.

However, the "Greens" often adopt "solutions" w/o considering the "problem of scale" and the "problem of unintended consequences."
Bio-diesel and ethanol are good examples. What works on a small scale using surplus production, can have a major negative impact when expanded to a larger scale and the demand for resources overwhelms any existing surplus production. Large scale alternative use of land resources pushes up the cost of the other alternatives and the unintended consequences is that food prices go up. Then as the industry expands production to meet the growing alternative use, they increase the use of fuel and petrochemicals, which were not a factor when Bio-diesel and ethanol was just a minor factor utilizing surplus production of the existing operations.
It goes beyond the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Some schemes also try to violate the Law of Supply and Demand. You can't get something for nothing.
OTOH, we need to keep looking for those steps towards a better product. I did see one proposal that I thought might be worth looking at. Batteries have a weight problem as well as a disposal problem. (Yes I know that if everyone followed the law, disposal would be only an economic problem, not a "green" problem. -- But if everyone followed the law....)
FWIIW -- The idea focused on the idea that storing energy as electricity is a challenge. This idea was that using off-peak electric production, (or even developing tidal or wind production where it is not currently economical because of it's nature driven production schedule being out of sync with the human demand schedule) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen as a method of storing energy until needed.

Those who had signed up to discount or capped rate deal or locked into other contracts found themselves stuck on the higher rate. The Ombudsman ruled in favour of one complainant last month, although Nationwide has since dithered on whether to pay compensation to all members affected.
Now it says it will compensate borrowers linked to the SVR and move them to the lower BMR, effectively scrapping the old higher rate. The move is expected to cost the mutual, and therefore eventually its members, £90m.
Halifax also lost a case at the Ombudsman last month but chose to scrap its new 5% rate and put all customers back on the old 5.75% tier. It says the ruling only applies to the one case and that customers would have to complain individually.
Philip Williamson, chief executive, said: 'Unlike some of our competitors, we do not believe it is right to force borrowers in a similar position to go to the Ombudsman.
'It was already our stated intention to move all our existing borrowers onto our base mortgage rate. It makes sense, therefore, to bring forward this plan and ensure all our borrowers are treated as though they had the Base Mortgage Rate from day one.'
Lenders claim that across the industry existing borrowers pay higher rates to subsidise loss-leading deals offered to attract new customers. That is why they claim to have introduced the new rates on to which they hope to eventually move all customers. The move will also save the lenders money in the long-run because there will be less intense pressure to offer special deals.
Mortgage experts predict that compensation per customer based on the 0.5% gap over the past year is likely to average £350, based on a typical loan of £70,000.
A borrower with a capped rate repayment mortgage worth £100,000 over 25 years could be due back as much as £540, according to calculations by independent mortgage broker London & Country. This takes into account both the capital eroded and the money back from monthly payments.
Nationwide will write to all customers affected. They will be switched from the old rate the BMR on 1 April, instantly reducing repayments and they will see the compensation taken off their mortgage bill at the end of June. Customers can either use drawdown to take the extra in cash or put it toward reducing monthly repayments or the length of the mortgage.

The tech world is still buzzing over Samsung's Galaxy S3, but a new rumor suggests that its successor, the Galaxy S4, will have a February 2013 release date. The next-generation flagship smartphone is said to be unveiled at a European technology expo this winter.
The road map was displayed by Samsung during the course of one of its presentation at the CRS 2013 which showed that Samsung plans to release a 4.99 inch Full HD display with an incredible 441ppi rating. Rumors are pointing to the fact that it will be the next Flagship of the Samsung, the Galaxy S4.
The Galaxy S4 is expected to be available in retail stores around the world by March, Korea Times has learned. This new device is expected to be Samsung's "most powerful" smartphone yet, with enhanced hardware specifications and advanced software that will allow the Korea-based company to keep its edge in the global mobile market share.
Complete with Multi Window, the device is powered by a dual core processor which can clock in a maximum speed of 1.2GHz. It features 1GB of RAM and 8GB onboard memory along with an expansion slot to increase the storage by up to 64GB with the help of a microSD card. It enables users to transfer data wirelessly through Bluetooth 4.0 and get access to internet via a hotspot, thanks to built-in Wi-Fi.

What is Aromatherapy and what can it do for you?
Many times throughout my massage therapy career I will be asked about aromatherapy. People will ask what it is? Does it work? Is it just to make the room smell good?
Some of us have our "comfort smells". The smell of an apple pie in the oven evokes certain feelings and emotions. Others might love the smell of a roast that has been cooking all day. That isn't necessarily a definition of aromatherapy , more like happy memory/smell association, but the example was given because it shows the power of your olfactory senses and your physical and emotional responses to them.
So let's start from the beginning: What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils in a range of treatments designed to promote the well-being of mind, body and spirit. Essential oils are made from plants and can have a powerful effect on both mind and body. The oils are introduced to the body in a number of ways, with the main ways being massage and inhalation.
The term aromatherapy was named by René-Maurice Gattefossé during the early 1900's. He burned his arm while working on an experiment and quickly stuck it into the nearest liquid. The liquid happened to be lavender essential oil. Since his burn was fast healing and did not leave a scar, he called the healing powers of essential oils aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy can be used as an alternative medicine to accompany traditional medicine. People most often practice aromatherapy to induce certain moods or feelings or to reduce physical ailments depending on the type of essential oils used.
In France, and much of Western Europe aromatherapy is incorporated into mainstream medicine as an antiseptic, antiviral, anti fungal, and antibacterial, much more so than in the UK, USA or Canada. In fact, there are some essential oils that are regulated as prescription drugs in France, and can only be administered (or prescribed) by a doctor.
Aromatherapy is generally applied in one of three ways:
- Aerial diffusion– the oils evaporate into the air. The aim is to give the air a specific fragrance or to disinfect it.
- Direct inhalation– the person breaths the evaporating oils straight in. This is commonly used for respiratory disinfection, decongestion, as well as for psychological benefits.
- Topical applications– applied onto the skin. Commonly used for massage, baths, and therapeutic skin care.
What can aromatherapy be used for?
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Muscular aches
- Arthritic aches
- Circulatory problems
- Digestive troubles
- Menstrual problems
- Menopausal Symptoms
- Depression
- Headaches
Essential oils include muscle relaxants (marjoram and black pepper), digestive tonics (cardamom and mint), circulatory stimulants (rosemary and basil) and hormone precursors (clary sage and fennel). Many repair injured cells (lavender and helichrysum); others help carry away metabolic waste to aid in detoxification (grapefruit and juniper). In addition, a number of essential oils enhance immunity, working with the body to heal itself. They are capable of stimulating the production of phagocytes (white blood cells that attack invaders), and some (e.g., tea tree and lavender) are anti toxic for insect bites and stings.
There are thousands of essential oils that have been used for centuries. I have compiled a short list of the ten most popular essential oils and what they are used for in both aerial diffusion and in therapeutic massage.
Ten Basic Essential Oils
- Lavender – First aid oil; antiviral and antibacterial, boosts immunity, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic
- Chamomile – anti-inflammatory, anti allergenic, digestive, relaxant, antidepressant
- Marjoram – antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic
- Rosemary – stimulating to circulation, relieves pain, decongestant, improves circulation
- Tea tree – anti fungal, anti yeast, antibacterial
- Cypress – astringent, stimulating to circulation, antiseptic, astringent
- Peppermint – digestive, clears sinuses, antiseptic, decongestant, stimulant
- Eucalyptus – decongestant, antiviral, antibacterial, stimulant
- Bergamot – antidepressant, anti parasitic, anti-inflammatory
- Geranium – balancing to mind and body, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory
What is aromatherapy is best demonstrated by experience. If you would like to try it for yourself, please don't forget to check it as an add on to your next massage.

Why on earth is there no comparison to the Clip+? This is in fact the 3rd generation of this product line so it's hardly a "new contender" to the Nano. I'm very wary of making any decisions based on stuff I read here anymore but the only differences between this and the previous model (Clip+) appears to be a slightly tweaked button layout, larger colour screen and micro USB instead of mini. Personally I wouldn't bother with the Clip Zip, especially when the 8GB Clip+ can be had for just £30 including an additional 8GB SD card.
Hi Kingosticks,
The Clip models are all part of the same family, and as you say there's little difference apart from the minor tweaks you mention.
The comparison was there to address whether it's worth spending more than SanDisk's offerings. Whether you want a Clip+ or Clip Zip is simpler - how much do you care about a full colour screen? Pretty much covers it.
Thanks for the reply. I agree, how much do you care about a full colour low resolution screen? But that's completely missing from your review, the extra comparison would have been more useful for someone looking at a Nano alternative.
I'll add to the review. You make a fair point!
This comment system is somewhat confusing, no? Must be some free Open Source code to save costs I'd imagine...
Oh that it were. We actually pay for this.
Ouch! I hope you kept the receipt... ;op
I have the Clip+, and as far as I remember it had much better sound quality than anything below the much more expensive Sony players. However, it didn't support AAC files which is a pain if anybody else who might want to use it has never changed the default ripping format in their iTunes! If the Zip's sound quality matches that of the Clip+, it sounds like it could be a really nice little player.
Third hit in a row for the Clip range but they've insisted on exactly the same problem as twice before : I have to get the lower capacity to buy the colour I want. It's a stupid strategy since the one thing the Nano has going for it is an expansive colour range. Give me an 8GB orange one and I'll snap it up in a heartbeat.
So let's get this straight. You do a review of an audio player and the full extent of your review regarding the quality of sound it produces is 'The player's audio output is clean and sound quality is good.' That's a little too concise for those who actually buying an audio player for, you might find this bit strange, playing music. There's only one word for the omission a full audio review. Imbecilic.

A Tribute to Comedy
Acting With all of due respect to any or all comedians everywhere, the greatest comedians in recent history are not along with us, aside from Jerry Lewis as of this writing. Comedy today is different than it had been yesteryear. Many comedians today ought to stretch to date they will use language that should not be used in public. Yesterday's comedians did not have to turn to that, these folks were just naturally funny. Ahead of the advance of film and radio, there are probably comedians which are laugh your head off funny, but we cannot learn about. While they were in silent films, we realize that Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Roscoe "Fatty "Arbuckle, and Buster Keaton were the top comedians of these day. We can easily watch many of the old films and laugh because it was funny.
Skits We owe it to ourselves and generations to come to help keep the laughter alive, plus the memories with the funniest from the funniest. Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were the superior entertainers during the day when they had people to fall out with their chairs. And speaking of Martin and Lewis, what actually transpired to everyone in the great comedy teams? Unfortunately, there aren't any more comedy teams around. The first choice for hope and wish that parents all over america are telling their kids about Abbott and Costello. All the young baseball players should a minimum of be familiar with "Who's on First?" The Three Stooges will not walk out style. Does anyone can remember the Curly shuffle? (Please Google this right this moment, and that i dare explore to experience a wide smile.) When I was becoming an adult, everyone knew who Laurel and Hardy were, but they were before my own time. The amount of customers be familiar with this classic comedy team, and the other fine mess they got into. Watch them on-line, they are hysterical.
Wheeler and Woolsey were another comedy team, not as well known, but worth many laughs. The Marx Brothers were a comedy team that was unique, around these folks were funny. Harpo was one of the funniest people ever, rather than spoke anything. He was obviously a simpleton who seemed brilliant. Groucho is often a character who I think won't ever go out of style. Together, these folks were amazing. Burns and Allen weren't simply a great comedy team; these folks were another loving married couple. George Burns and Gracie Allen might not share exactly the same last name, nevertheless they shared a real love for each other which is legendary. Lucy and Ricky
were the married couple we loved to look at on I really like Lucy, but Lucy and Ethel were the comedy duo which in fact had the laugh meter sounding the charts. Having said that, Lucille Ball is, and always would be the funniest female comedian in recent history.
There are many who make us laugh, and here are several more: Milton Berle, Red Skelton, Woody Allen, and Bob Hope. For most folks, the miscroscopic Rascals would have been a part of our childhood. Most of the people have no idea of it's filmed for a passing fancy studio lot as Laurel and Hardy. I still love watching the old "Blondie" movies. Joe E. Brown had a great title for his autobiography, Laughter is a marvellous Thing."

Jesus said: "Alas for you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who are like whitewashed tombs that look handsome on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of corruption.

• Our Lady, too, warns about living a "double life", talking the talk but not walking the walk…
Dear children! Today I am grateful to you for your presence in this place, where I am giving you special graces. I call each one of you to begin to live as of today that life which God wishes of you and to begin to perform good works of love and mercy. I do not want you, dear children, to live the message and be committing sin which is displeasing to me. Therefore, dear children, I want each of you to live a new life without destroying all that God produces in you and is giving you. I give you my special blessing and I am remaining with you on your way of conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call. Medjugorje message, March 25, 1987
Dear children! These years I have been calling you to pray, to live what I am telling you, but you are living my messages a little. You talk, but do not live, that is why little children, this war is lasting so long. I invite you to open yourselves to God and in your hearts to live with God, living the good and giving witness to my messages. I love you and wish to protect you from every evil, but you do not desire it. Dear children, I cannot help you if you do not live God's commandments, if you do not live the Mass, if you do not give up sin. I invite you to be apostles of love and goodness. In this world of unrest give witness to God and God's love, and God will bless you and give you what you seek from him. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Great rescue/shelter
This place is a great place to rescue a dog or cat from. The dogs are super sweet and walked frequently - they also live in large kennels so aren't too cooped up. I've volunteered here many times walking dogs (which i definitely suggest doing - the dogs are sooo happy to get walked!) The staff is amazing and very loving to all of the pets there.

New Wrangler in Tampa
Just got my first Jeep! I always wanted one but never had the balls/money to do it. My first SUV was an '01 Xterra then an '06 Ford Escape. Both served me well, but neither was as stylish or capable as the Jeep.
I got an '09 Jeep Wrangler X, Jeep Green, Hardtop, 17" alloys. A great deal and a great experience buying at Dimmitt Cadillac in St. Pete. $19.5K and less than 22K miles. I love it! I loaded a few pics from the ad to profile, but I'm a low tech kind of guy.
Not a major offroader, but have gone mudding before and occasionally camp and go shooting out in the boonies. I hope to do more of it now that I have the Jeep.
Do already have plans to do a few mods, mostly aesthetic in nature. In order of priority:
1) Want black on black Jeep spare cover.
2) Want to plasti dip the wheels black and possibly plastidip the Jeep Front Logo black as well.
3) Want to get the interior insulated or possibly lined with carpet insulation at a local auto upholstery place. I think all the aftermarket insulation looks kind of cheapo, as does the white plastic of the hardtop interior.
4) Want to armor front and rear tail lights and add the Rugged Ridge mesh grill inserts behind the grill
5) Eventually new tires, BFG All Terrains probably 32" possibly 33" with a one inch shackle or coil lift of some kind. Still learning about that.
6) Probably get this 4WD indicator light. I've been lurking a few days and already learned about the switch on the transfer case; confirmed the indicator light itself works.
6) Add a .50 Cal to the Speaker Bar. :punk: Just seeing if everyone's paying attention.
Anyway love the Jeep so far, and it's quieter and smoother on highway than expected and a hell of a lot more popular with girls than I quite realized! I'm 36 and single, so it's all good. :dance:
Welcome and enjoy the forum! Last one is the best one.
Thanks much. I don't know what it is about Jeeps, but they really get your wheels turning fast on daydreaming about customization projects!

Military Veterans Will Create Art From Old Uniforms During 'Combat Paper Project' Workshop at Rutgers
Rutgers University, Newark Public Library Collaboration
NEWARK, N.J., April 14, 2010
– They won't be beating swords into plowshares, but next week military veterans will come to Rutgers University, Newark, to transform old uniforms and other clothing into art that reflects their feelings about their service experiences. The veterans will participate in papermaking workshops and a writing seminar at Rutgers to aid them in creating their art. Visitors to R-N can watch the final steps in the artmaking process in a tent pitched on the Norman Samuels Plaza from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on April 21.

While the workshop itself is conducted in private, anyone may visit the Combat Paper tent on the Rutgers plaza between 12 -4 p.m. on April 20, to watch the cut-up uniforms beaten into rags, and return on April 21, from 10-4 p. m. on April 21, and watch the process of transforming uniforms into pulp, paper and art.
Their pieces will then be displayed temporarily at the Newark Public Library (NPL) on April 22, at 10 a.m. – 8:30 p.m., and April 23 from 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. NPL is currently hosting a larger exhibition of veterans' art, the Combat Paper Project: Healing Through Art, through June 26. All of the MiCombat Paper Project (CPP), a internationally acclaimed therapeutic art program "by, for and about war veterans and the creative process."
The project evolved from NPL's plans to host a traveling exhibition of artwork produced through CPP, a Vermont-based initiative that helps military veterans of all wars transform their old uniforms, or any other "meaningful" items of clothing, into pulp, which is pounded into sheets of paper. The paper is then used to create art that helps the veterans "embrace their experiences as soldiers" while sharing their experiences with loved ones and the public, according to Drew Matott and Drew Cameron of CPP.
The veterans and their artwork reflect wide political views, the two explain. Many artists are neither anti-war nor anti-military but are simply having trouble re-integrating into civilian life because their wartime experiences affected them so drastically. The process of creating the art from clothing provides a closure for many vets, they note.
Matott, Cameron, and other veterans participating in the workshop will be speaking in a panel discussion at NPL on April 22 from 7-8 p.m. A reception in honor of the workshop at R-N and the exhibition at NPL precedes the panel discussion, from 6-7 p.m. Both events are co-sponsored by R-N and NPL.
The Combat Paper Project, http://www.combatpaper.org/index.html, is an ongoing, international collaboration initiated by Drew Matott and Drew Cameron, involving war veterans, activists and artists. Combat Paper is a project by, for and about war veterans and the creative process. Through papermaking workshops veterans use their uniforms worn in combat to create cathartic works of art. The uniforms are cut up, beat and formed into sheets of paper. Veterans use the transformative process of papermaking to reclaim their uniform as art and begin to embrace their experiences as a soldier in war.
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA: For more information about the paper-making demonstration, please contact Carla Capizzi, 973/353-5263, email: firstname.lastname@example.com

'Project Runway' Recap: 'He Said, She Said'
The teams were Samantha, Richard, and Layana then Michelle and Daniel and last were Stanley and Patricia. The designers were asked to create looks inspired by the Lord & Taylor rose theme, keep the production cost of the pieces under $250 retail, and make sure they were representative of spring.
Michelle immediately began to bitch about. She dogged on his style as being too old and dated, then went to work on her black robot vest which would ring in the new spring season. Daniel actually cried because he was so hurt by the criticism of his color and style choice. Tim Gunn did question whether the jacket he made was too old and suggested he make a dress. He also told Michelle to nix her terrible black vest. Thank God.
This wasn't the only drama that occurred between designers. Richard flat out refused to speak with Layana because she criticized him on the runway when their team was in the bottom last week. He was critical of Layana's choice of a floral print and she wasn't happy about his black and pink maxi dress.
Stanley was very controlling of Patricia and while she may have needed a bit of guidance, he wasn't cutting her much slack. He created a very boring shift dress in a peachy coral, with little to no detail. Patricia created a coral and orange draped and flawy tank with fitted trouser capri pants. The judges were pleased enough with their team to grant them safety in the middle of the pack.
Samantha struggled to get the hem right at the last few moments before the runway. She decided to take a risk and put in a heart shaped cut out in the back. Daniel was worried about his dress, but pleased with the results.
The judges were very impressed with Michelle's piece and named her the winner. Her bright chartreuse green colored mini dress was modern and sleek, but easy and effortless. She needs to thank Tim Gunn for telling her to get rid of that gawd awful vest. And perhaps the most frustrating thing about Michelle is that her ego will now grow even larger from this win, which may in turn make her more ruthless to her fellow competitors. For the record, the judges loved the color that Richard picked for his dress. His construction wasn't their favorite, but the color was praised. So hopefully Michelle will shut up about not being a pink girl.
The bottom two were Richard and Samantha. Richard's dress was easy and simple, but not really exciting or new. Samantha's look was too junior and although it pushed the envelope and attempted to think outside the box it was overly complicated. Heidi did not like Samantha's look and praised Richard's look while Nina felt the exact opposite. In the end, the judges chose to send Samantha home. This was a colossal shame as she was so much more innovative and daring than Richard. Plus, now we'll have to hear more whining on the part of Richard.

I am still really missing the expansive community garden plot I left behind at Mesa Student housing in San Diego. But Los Angeles as afforded some new gardening adventures. I happened upon a beautifully designed, but unplanted garden at my son's elementary school (Nora Sterry Elem), and we've been working on planting it. It's in an awesome place by the lunch arbor and cafeteria, with lots of foot traffic with kids and parents in the afterschool hours when I have a chance to work on it. Kids stop by and check in, help plant, and take h0me big bunches of rainbow chard. (I wonder if those ever get eaten??)
I made a quiche with the chard and brought it to the Kindergarten graduation party. Nobody tried it until I put a sign on it explaining that the vegetables had come from the school garden. It got 'eaten'– though I'm not sure anyone liked it much! LOL (I like it.. it's my favorite swiss chard recipe.)
This morning, though, I saw some of the mothers from the school with huge bunches of cilantro gone to seed, and bags of squash blossoms. There is network of parents that trade goods (crochet scarves in winter, apparently veggies in summer) in front of the school each morning. I should have asked them what they do with the cilantro gone to seed. Perhaps there is some delicious recipe involved.
I'm sad because we'll be leaving this school behind in August for a different neighborhood elementary school. If there's any way I can, I'm wondering if I can still volunteer at the garden for Nora Sterry–I love the kids and the community there. For now, I'm just hoping to be able to sneak in over the summer and help what I've planted grow.

An experimental nicotine vaccine reduces the amount of nicotine that reaches the brain and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), helping to reduce cigarette use and cravings, new research shows. However, at least 1 expert has some misgivings about its potential as an effective treatment.
"It appears that the vaccine may help with smoking cessation, but likely as an adjunct to existing pharmacology or psychological treatments," Irina Esterlis, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and diagnostic radiology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, told Medscape Medical News.
The nicotine vaccine is being developed by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals of Rockville, Maryland, under the brand name NicVAX. It consists of a chemical derivative of nicotine linked to a protein to induce an immune response. The nicotine-antibody complexes are too large to cross the blood-brain barrier, reducing the amount and rate of nicotine that enters the brain and, consequently, the reinforcing and addictive effects of nicotine.

Ecosmart House Features Thermochromic Glass
April 10, 2013
Pleotint LLC's Suntuitive interlayer, used to produce thermochromic glass that passively adapts to changes in temperature and direct sunlight, is featured in the recently-constructed ecosmart house.
Built in Bozeman, Mont., the ecosmart house serves as a residential modeling and construction project to expand the knowledge of environmental and human sustainability, according to Rehau, the extruder of vinyl window profiles and manufacturer of building products. Sponsored by the company, the house is being constructed by Montana State University.
"We were determined to use innovative energy and building technologies that maximize energy efficiency and occupant comfort, such as the high-performance Rehau window designs that feature the Suntuitive interlayer," says Ralph Childs, Western region commercial sales manager for Rehau North America's window and door business unit.
The windows in the ecosmart house using Suntuitive are expected to yield energy savings of at least 20 percent over conventional windows, according to energy modeling projections completed by the Creative Research Lab at Montana State University. The house functions as a living lab for the University, where its energy performance is being tested with 300 sensors collecting data of energy efficiency, comfort and lifecycle costs over the course of two years.
The Suntuitive interlayer passively tints the glass in response to direct sunlight, helping
to keep rooms comfortable while allowing occupants to enjoy views without glare or heat
from the sun's rays.

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has no doubt the club are destined for more titles.
City's second Champions League campaign began with a dramatic last-gasp 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium last night.
Aguero, who was linked with the Spanish champions last season, watched a pulsating encounter unfold from the bench as an unused substitute and is convinced City will bounce back.
The former Atletico Madrid player tweeted after the game: "I feel comfortable and appreciated in MCFC - it's a project I feel involved in. We want more titles and we'll get them!"
And to underline his commitment to the club after returning to a city where he is always the subject of press interest, he added: "Just to make it clear - I'm very happy to be in MCFC. It's the best decision I could have taken."
Aguero, 24, scored 30 goals for City last season after joining the Barclays Premier League champions in a £38million club record deal.
He is yet to make an impression this season having suffered a knee injury in the opening Premier League fixture against Southampton last month.
He had hoped to make his return in the Spanish capital but events prevented manager Roberto Mancini bringing him on.
Mancini said: "I had two players injured, (Samir) Nasri and Maicon. I wanted to play Aguero in the last 20 minutes."
City were beaten in a remarkable finish as Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo struck for Real Madrid in the last three minutes.
Aleksandar Kolarov had looked to have snatched an unlikely win when his free-kick bounced through the area to find the net six minutes from time.
Edin Dzeko and Marcelo had earlier traded goals after the hosts had dominated the first hour.
The result leaves City playing catch-up in a tough-looking Group D that also includes Borussia Dortmund - also winners on the opening night - and Ajax.
Mancini said: "I think other teams will lose here. Now we have five games and it is important we beat Dortmund next game at home.
"We know it will be difficult playing against a top team but this year we want to go through."
City failed to get beyond the group stage in their first Champions League campaign last year.
Captain Vincent Kompany tweeted: "Thanks to the huge number of travelling fans. This game will give us the desire to improve again. Eventually we will get there."

This spray nozzle performs excellently with positive spray pattern control. The only negative I have to state is that the item illustration is misleading. My previous Gilmour nozzle was chrome plated and as you can see by the picture depicted, that is what you think you are ordering. Unfortunately what I received was a painted nozzle which makes it much more susceptible to scrapes and scratches. Why mislead customers with inaccurate pictorial information?

All eyes will be focused on Ilya Kovalchuk for at least the beginning of this hockey season due to his controversial 15-year, $100 million contract that he landed with the New Jersey Devils. Adding him to the roster was not an easy task, but after all of the contract complications in the off-season Kovalchuk finally received his chance to show the New Jersey Devils that it was all worth it. And Kovalchuk did not disappoint.
On Tuesday night he helped the Devils beat the Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-2 preseason victory. It was late in the third period, and the score was 2-1 Flyers when Kovalchuk drew a penalty on Ben Holmstrom. Just 55 seconds after the penalty took effect, Travis Zajac scored the tying goal for New Jersey. After that, Kovalchuk made the Devils happy when he scored a the final rising shot over goalie Brian Boucher.
The Devils showed much discipline this game as they only committed two minor penalties. Martin Brodeur stopped 26 of 28 shots, including many tough saves. Overall the Devils started off slow, but showed improvement as the game went on.
After this game the Flyers fell to 3-1-1 while the Devils are 1-0-3 in the preseason. The New Jersey Devils will play their next preseason game on Friday, October 1, 2010 against the New York Islanders.

Haskell already has two caps, but this season is the 22-year-old's chance to break out of the shadow of his mentor Lawrence Dallaglio for club and country.
There is more than a touch of the Dallaglios about the outgoing and confident Haskell, and his talents and application have impressed his club coach Shaun Edwards.
"He is a punishing ball-carrier who breaks a lot of tackles and has a real eye for the try-line," said Edwards.
What are these?

Rene Ricard at PennSound
We're in debt to our friends at PennSound for posting video of Rene Ricard reading on Public Access Poetry on December 1, 1977. Ricard passed away on February 1st. PennSound writes to introduce the video:
A multifarious talent whose career evolved in several phases, Ricard got his start as a member of Warhol's factory, appearing in iconic films including Kitchen and Chelsea Girls. He put his downtown insider status and prodigious knowledge of the art world to good use, writing for ArtForum in the 1980s, championing the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring (through his career-making essay, "The Radiant Child"), as well as Julian Schnabel. While mainstream audiences probably only knew these aspects of his life, he was also well-respected poet, though the majority of his books — including René Ricard 1979-1980 and God With Revolver — are out of print or difficult to locate, commanding hundreds of dollars on the used market.
For that reason, we're very glad to be able to direct readers to Ricard's December 1, 1977 appearance on Public Access Poetry, where he appeared alongside Camille O'Grady. His segment of the program included the poems "On Being Called a Dilettante," "April 29," "Caravaggio and His Models," "The Slaves of Michelangelo," and "On the Tomb of W.H.," among others. […]
Scroll down to the Ricard segment, then watch and delight!

Posted by Anjali Lai on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on April 8, 2015
Two weeks ago, I spoke at the Qual360 conference in Atlanta, hosted by the Merlien Institute. If you follow this blog, you'll know that I typically fold qualitative insight into a diverse research mix, so I went to the conference with a broad view of market research methodologies. But after connecting with qualitative researchers, marketers, academics, and thought leaders from around the globe, I left Qual360 with a renewed appreciation for the fundamental importance of qualitative insight, its deep impact on key business decisions, and its differentiated value in today's data-driven culture. Here are a few of my takeaways from Qual360:
Posted by Anjali Lai on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on December 22, 2014
Around this time of year, one can't help but become reflective. I know I'm not alone when I say that, on the one hand, this year somehow shot past faster than the last one, but on the other hand, it was jam-packed with new discoveries, fresh ideas, and memorable experiences. In particular, this has been a milestone year for the data insights innovation team here at Forrester, as we officially launched our Technographics 360 research approach, which synthesizes mobile behavioral, social listening, online qualitative, and survey data. As I think back on my experiences with the Technographics 360 initiative inside Forrester, paired with my industry learnings outside Forrester, a few key lessons come to mind that I will take into the new year:
1. Synthesis is "in." In fact, I learned so much about this topic, I wrote a full blog post dedicated to it! In essence, we now live in a world where the truest insight is a product of synthesis – building knowledge up – rather than of analysis – breaking ideas down. I recently attended SSI's seminar featuring Simon Chadwick, who proposed that data synthesis is "the next big thing" in insight skills. I agree: With so many diverse data sources at our fingertips that offer unique perspectives on consumers' lives, researchers need to put the puzzle pieces together to construct a comprehensive understanding of consumer behavior.
Posted by Anjali Lai on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on December 16, 2014
As researchers, we can't underestimate the power of perspective. When the Eiffel Tower was erected 125 years ago, it became the tallest manmade structure in the world and, more importantly, allowed visitors to look down over Paris for the first time; perhaps it was the first real instance of a "birds-eye view." At the same time, artists like Picasso and Stein were pushing the limits of perspective by portraying every angle of 3-dimensional concepts in one painting or poem. In many ways, the research world today is akin to this historical period of creativity. With more data at our fingertips than ever before, we are able to observe consumer behavior from new vantage points and produce a fresh understanding of customer trends by analyzing multiple angles at the same time.
Here on the data insights innovation team at Forrester, we've called our multiperspective research approach Technographics 360. Officially launched this year, Technographics 360 blends Consumer Technographics® survey output, ConsumerVoices Market Research Online Community insight, social listening data, and passive mobile behavioral tracking to synthesize a 360-degree view of consumer behavior. Instead of analyzing research questions by breaking them down, we can synthesize comprehensive solutions by building our knowledge up.
Posted by Roxana Strohmenger on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on May 24, 2012
This shouldn't come as a surprise, but I love talking about cool, emerging, and innovative research methodologies. Over the past two years, I have been focusing a lot of my time on researching these techniques and have written several blog posts on this topic. For example, how prediction markets can help determine which concepts will succeed or fail in the marketplace. And how 2012 is the year of mobile, and market insights (MI) professionals need to leverage this channel.
In continuing with this theme, I am launching a blog series focused exclusively on highlighting emerging methodologies that MI professionals should take notice of and examine whether to incorporate into their research tool kit. I will highlight any cool research techniques I come across, as well as any vendors that are building interesting technology tools for market research purposes.
For this inaugural post, I will highlight location analytics. Essentially, market insights professionals can use a consumer's location information that is transmitted by their mobile phone to understand what they are doing in their daily lives. For example, you can understand where your target customer is shopping, how she got there, and which competitor stores she drove past. The consumers being tracked do not have to "check in" every place they go to gather this information. Instead, all of the location data is passively collected after a consumer opts in.

My colleague Reineke Reitsma and I have been championing mobile market research for quite some time. In fact, we published the first Forrester report on this emerging and innovative methodology back in 2009. In the report, Reineke wrote about the value of its mobility and flexibility to gather insights into consumers' behavior anytime and anywhere. And for mainstream adoption to occur, hurdles such as cost, technology, privacy, and representation must be addressed.
At that time, I thought the growth of mobile market research was soon upon us. I was off by about 2 years. But 2011 was a turning point for mobile market research. We started 2011 with seeing the number of global shipments of smartphones and tablets surpassing the global shipment of desktop and notebook PCs. Blog posts and Twitter chatter under the #mobilemr hashtag increased significantly. In July 2011 there was the first formal debate about the merits of this new technology. And also in July there was a conference completely dedicated to how early adopters have leveraged mobile market research.

July has been a "sizzling" month so far, and I don't just mean the weather. Although its pretty hot and humid here in Miami, the market research world has been burning up with talk about mobile market research over the past three weeks. First, we kicked off the month with a debate I moderated about whether mobile research is the great hope or the false dawn. You can listen to a recording of the lively debate here. And now, the Merlien Market Research in a Mobile World conference just wrapped up. This conference brought together more than 200 client-side senior executives, market researchers, and mobile developers to discuss the challenges and opportunities mobile technologies can bring to generate customer insights.
Is all of this talk warranted? Yes! Just take a look at some of these facts. Forrester forecasts that by 2014, 65% of the world's population will own at least one active mobile phone (click here for details; subscription required). And, earlier this year, Mary Meeker of Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers stated that we have globally reached an inflection point in Q4 2010―the global shipments of smartphones and tablets surpassed the global shipments of desktop and notebook PCs.

Earlier this week, I was in "tech geek" heaven because I had the opportunity to participate in IIR's Technology Driven Market Research Event (TDMR) in Chicago. The purpose of the conference was to showcase how technology has generated new ways for market insights professionals to connect with and understand consumers. Over the course of the two days, the bulk of the presentations focused on two methodologies: social media market research and mobile research, with a smattering of additional presentations on neuroscience and gamification.
TDMR was a great conference. It brought together a core group of 200 market insights professionals who realize that although traditional research methods have their place, as an industry, we need to start understanding and experimenting with new methodologies. In addition, it highlighted how the industry needs to stop dumping data on our clients and instead deliver key insights, make recommendations, and present actionable next steps. These points were especially evident in Merrill Dubrow's high-energy presentation, which addressed how we are seeing an increased number of outsiders questioning how we do things and why we are so slow to innovate. As he stated — with even Glenn Frey's song blasting in the background — the "heat is on" for the market research industry to change.

As my colleagues in our team can attest, I get giddy when I talk about all the cool, emerging, and innovative methods that market research professionals can use — whether it be how biometric techniques helped the Campbell Soup Company understand how consumers respond to marketing and advertising in order to redesign its soup-can logo, or when Nokia used mobile research methods as a way to understand what emotional constructs influence a consumer's "love and admiration" for a brand. All in all, it is great to see technology starting to make a significant impact on how we collect richer insights about consumers.
To help market research professionals understand what innovative research techniques are out there, I am launching a report series this year that will cover some of these innovative methods. To kick off the series, I have focused on prediction markets. Why? Because I see this extremely underutilized method as a valuable tool in the long, expensive, and arduous process of product and concept testing.
Companies are faced with the following daunting facts:
Posted by Reineke Reitsma on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on May 24, 2010
When I came back from holiday last week and looked at my mail, I was delighted to see that the most recent issue of Research World (the ESOMAR magazine) had a number of articles on mobile research. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, mobile research has really won me over (see also my report, The Challenges And Opportunities Of Mobile Research for full details). The "anytime, anywhere" aspect of the mobile phone, combined with people's emotional attachment to it, makes it an ideal device for people to share their thoughts and opinions in a research context.
When reading the articles in Research World, however, I feel that the industry is missing out on a great opportunity. The emphasis of the conversation here is on mobile research's methodological challenges, such as sampling, guidelines, and research bias. I agree that there are still some hurdles to overcome with regards to representation, costs, technology, and privacy, but I believe market researchers shouldn't get too caught up in these but should instead embrace mobile phones as a new research channel and look for innovative research approaches.

Panacur, help on dosing
So I am going to dose one tank with this. I have not added any plants to this tank in a year and I just found some Planeria moving about.
I need dosing advice and as well, will it kill pest snails as well? It will be going in a 20L
It won't kill pest snails, just nerites.
The dose is .1 grams per 10 gallons, so for 20 gallons its 1/5th of the package.
Split it into 5 equal size piles and then dump one pile in.
How long do I treat for, or just one treatment is good? So just buy the 1 gram packet and use .1 grams
Leave it in for 3 days then do a wc, if you still see planaria, treat one more time.
If you have nerites to re introduce, throw some carbon in your filter for a day first
Thanks Liam
Any suggestions on dosing a 2 gallon and a 4 gallon
Crush it up and get a little amount in your fingers tips and dose. You will only OD them with a bunch.
Don't forget take out carbon and purigen before treatment and add carbon after treatment.
If I divide that by 10, will that work? I have 10 doses per bag?
I'm going to have a bear of a time eye-balling this. Would the pinch method work? anyone try this?
Otherwise I could use a razor and the back of my petri glass dish and cut up the powder 10 ways and try to put each portion into a separate bag for future doses.
I was thinking:
Day 1: dose
Day 2: no dosing and just see if it's working
Day 3: dose
Day 4: no dosing
Day 5: no dosing
Day 6: dose one last time
Day 7: WC
Do you think this is a good method or would you WC with each dose?
Just wondering if I should build up the safeguard by not WC till the end or WC each time I dose.
FYI, the 5.5 gal planted tank has fire red shrimp and tangerine tiger shrimp
I would not use Pancur, go with Beni bachi no planaria or something. Pancur never really worked for me.
are you sure about safeguard/panacur not working? I have been reading the old posts and the referred links. it appears to have worked for many. it's all my local petsmart has and I don't want to order something online I would like to start now before the infestation gets out of control.
anyone try safeguard/panacur with 5.5 gal? I'm going to move forward and give it a try if no one responds but just wondering how other people measured out/divided up a 1g bag for a 5.5.gal?
By Triet Do, USC School of Pharmacy
Having hydra and planaria in your shrim tank is both insightful and potentially harmful to shrimplets. I have seen a huge hydra literally attack and kill one of my baby Crystal Red Shrimps. After searching for a cure I have found and tried Fenbendazole (Safe-Guard) successfully. It's safe for shrimps, snails, fish and plants.
1) Purchase the cheapest Fenbendazole product (available at Petsmart)
2) Mix 1 bag (1g) with 100 mL of drinking water. Shake VIGORIOUSLY! There will always be undissolved Fenbendazole settling on the bottom. The point of shaking is to make a saturated solution of Fenbendazole.
3) You will need to save the solution in a bottle for future treatment.
1) DOSE is 0.1 g/10 gallons every 12 hours (prefer at night).
2) Use a SYRINGE to draw 10 mL of the solution (contain 0.1 g) and inject to your 10-gallon tank. If you have a 20-gallon tank, draw 20 mL of solution and so on.
3) Dose every 12 hours until all hydra and planaria are gone. Usually after 3 doses.
4) Do a 25% water change if you feel necessary. I don't normally do that but my shrimps are still healthy and breed fast.
I followed above directions to dose my 20L, didn't kill MTS, fire red shrimps or oto. Also on the first dose I forgot to take out the carbon and purigen. So I don't know if that helped killed them. I used it on hydras
Panacur is Fenbendazole. It has real hazards being used as a water dosed treatment.
(I don't use it)

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > RB > Justin Forsett
Justin Forsett Scouting Report
|California Golden Bears
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'8 - 185 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Justin Forsett, RB, California
Forsett is a shifty runner with incredible vision and speed. He is a tremendous cut-back runner and he finished second in the Pac-10 in rushing with 1,546 yards and a 5.1 ypc average. He displays outstanding initial burst and a second-gear to run away from defenders in the open field. He is a fluid and smooth athlete and can be incredibly elusive in space. Forsett runs with good balance and body-control. He reminds me of a poor man's Maurice Jones-Drew, running with incredible power in spite of his small stature. Forsett is a very good receiver out of the backfield and is a decent blocker in pass pro (which could mean he'll contribute early as a third down running back in the NFL). Also, he has some experience returning kicks at California and displays upside as a returner in the NFL. Forsett lacks ideal size for an NFL running back at under 190 pounds, but he has drastically improved his draft status with a great showing in Senior Bowl practices. He has surprised many Senior Bowl scouts with his power and elusiveness. Forsett chose not to run at the combine and will make teams wait for his times for a personal workout. Teams are not concerned about his running times, they are more concerned about his size. Forsett will be a good player, but his draft status is tough to predict with such a deep running back class. Forsett ran the 40 in 4.62 and 4.73, which was disappointing for a back of his size. He seems to play faster than his times indicate. He had a 31-inch vertical jump, 9-foot, 9-inch long jump, and ran 4.46 short shuttle, and a 7.15 cone drill. Forsett improved his forty time at Cal's pro day by running a 4.59, but did not improve enough to make himself a first day pick. It is reported that the Philadelphia Eagles have shown interest in Forsett.

Frozen Grey
Hi all, quick question (I tried to find this question in other posts, but couldn't see it), I keep seeing "frozen grey" as a color on M5's, and can't find it on the BMWUSA build site, is it available in the States? It is a sickkkk color... V/r, Tim.
Yes it's available . It's 5000 dollars extra, just ask the dealer and they will build it for you but they will need a down payment
And it takes a couple if weeks more to build
FYI...after a tour of the Dingolfing plant, I learned just how frozen gray is accomplished. You pay more for less as all it is is gray without clear coat. Further, if you take that car through a car wash or rub it with a dusty cloth, you very easily permanently damage the paint. Think long and hard about that one first...
Thank you for your comments
But I have already gotten it in metallic silver. ... Looks
Freaking awesome.
The colour is very nice ...
Think there's conflicting info about the "frozen" (matted) paint. If it helps... Returned from european delivery on Saturday. Took the tour of the 3-series factory in Munich. After the paint shop, they took us into a room to show hoods in the various stages of painting, including the last (clear coat).
I asked our guide this VERY question. Right or wrong, his answer was as follows:
My Question: When you see the frozen/matted paint jobs on some cars, does that mean they skip the clear coat stage, and is less protected.
His Answer: No. There is a clear coat on those cars as well, but is is different than the normal one. It does not have silica which produces the shine (i think this was the compound he mentioned), but otherwise a clear coat is applied.
Not sure who is right tho about the process/protection here.
btw: I saw quite a bit of these on the road throughout Germany.
Let me say it another way. The car does not follow the normal process through the paint shop line into the clear coat kiln/oven. The matte clear coat is not baked on at Dingolfing.
They sell the paint as equally protective - maybe technically it protects the aluminum as well from oxidation and corrosion, however you'll destroy the look/finish if something is caked onto your car and you can't remove it chemically and need to rub it off.
I personally think it looks great but how are you going to go for a summer afternoon country drive and get the insects off without altering the intended color?

Subaru Forester Owners Forum (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/)
- Transmission and Driveline (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f89/)
- - ('09-'13) 2014 na fb25 6mt (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f89/2014-na-fb25-6mt-123026/)
2014 na fb25 6mt
It appears that one of the choices for 2014 is the NA FB25 with 6spd MT...
I'm thinking that tranny would be a great swap-in candidate for 09-13 FB 5MT or, even better, a crate tranny with a Subaru part number that can be ordered.
Anyone else here thinking the same thing ?
It is likely a variation of the Legacy 6mt that has been out for a while.
Which 6-spd tranny Sti or Impreza would be a better all-round choice for someone wanting to cruise all-day at 65 mph/2100 rpm and have great mid-range power?
I'm not interested in stoplight-to-stoplight drag-racing prowess or top-end speed ....
Does "light weight" mean weaker and easier to break [than the 5MT] under spirited use though? And would it bolt up to an EJ25?
well it can handle the Diesel's torque...
And Dpm, is this actually the same one that is hooked up to the diesel engine? If so, then it probably would be a good choice to swap for a few WRX guys with 5-speeds.
Also, seeing as how the new FB and FA engines are very easy to turbocharge (even if they came N/A from the factory) I see aftermarket turbo set up getting more popular for N/A guys, and maybe even draw several people to buy the N/A with the 6-speed and turbo it....Hmmm....
I am liking this thread.
Maybe the resident Subaru Parts person(s) here can find out about purchasing the tranny directly ??
I agree however, the 6-speed in previous generations would be cool. Not sure about cost effectiveness, but eh, who cares!
I really believe this FB engine could pull a 6th overdrive gear fairly well until you got into the upper end of the weight rating...I've got great midrange passing and acceleration in 5th gear even pulling a 4x8 utility trailer loaded with furniture and 4 passengers...
I've started a '6-speed tranny fund' in anticipation...SubaruPartsGirl is on the case and when the parts inventory starts to build for 2014s I hope to put a swap together with someone who needs a 5-speed replacement....stay tuned !
I've been driving a 2013 outback with the fb25 and the 6mt.
you dont use 6th until at least 70mph unless its totally flat terrain.
Isn't the Outback somewhat heavier than the Forester ?
No more than about 150lbs heavier than a comparable SH Forester...
Subaru 2013 Outback research webpage- specs, options, colors, photos, and more
My 2011 with its options is about 3340lbs...the Outback with similar features is about 3500. That is one passenger more.....so, not much. I am interested in this swap, but wonder about switching the AWD from MPT to center diff + LSD....plus, probably TCU, etc. Might be easier to just buy the car with the engine/trans you want......wait, that's no fun!! :P
Hey guys, the 75mm 6MT that is coming in the new Forester is the same unit that comes in the Legacy, Outback, and diesel Forester.
The only version that will give the "overdrive " effect you're looking for is the diesel Forester versions. Every other iteration uses very similar 6th gear ratios to the normal 5th gear in previous gearboxes.
also, the 75mm 6mt is based on the 75mm 5mt. The STi gearbox is a completely different 85mm unit which uses larger diameter gears.
It has yet to be determined whether the 75mm 6mt is stronger than the 5mt. They're designed similarly using a split-case design, which isn't the strongest. The new gearbox has yet to be truly proven at higher power levels. The diesel has been a good test, amd the MY10 Legacy GT guys have only pushed as far as 400 lb-ft of torque. That specific LGT was sold off before they could conduct any durability tests on the gearbox.
I don't specifically know whether they retained the same gearbox length of the 5mt, but if they did then it will inherently be weaker than the 5mt since gears would have to be narrowed in order to fit everything into the transmission case.
Essentially though, if the gearbox still only has a 6th gear ratio of 0.7xx on a 4.111 final drive then it isn't going to be much more efficient on the highway than outgoing models. The extra gear allows them to space the other gears for better fuel economy.

Four Kinds of Marriage
This post continues a series of reflections that I began here.
Before I get started, I'd like to remind those who came in late that I'm not pushing a political agenda here. I'm trying to work out some thoughts about marriage in general, and on same-sex marriage in particular, in the light of the Church's teaching. I'm not trying to prove that the Church's teaching is true, and I'm more concerned with figuring out how to treat others well than I am in trying to coerce others into behaving the way I think they should. Thus, comments on how evil my political agenda is will be deleted. 'Nuff said.
Several of the commenters on this post raised the issue of marriage as a civil institution vs. marriage as a religious institution, and suggested that while one might have religious reasons for the position that marriage is necessarily heterosexual, there's no reason why civil marriage need be similarly bound. It was also suggested that the state "provides marriage" to its citizens: that marriage is essentially a civil institution, e.g., an institution governed by the state.
That last proposition, however, is clearly nonsense. People have been marrying and giving in marriage for all of recorded history, whether the people involved lived in something we would recognize as a state or not. Let's call this natural marriage. It is not essentially religious, and it is not essentially civil. It is, quite simply, human. Getting married and raising a family is what human beings do. Natural marriage does not depend on the state; on the contrary, the state is built upon the foundation of natural marriage.
With the state came civil marriage. Marriage creates families, and families accumulate property and squabble with other families, and the state naturally gets involved in these things. Thus, civil marriage is marriage as recognized by the state. Note that I do not say "regulated" or "controlled". Marriage is prior to the state, and many traditional restrictions on marriage, such as incest laws, are of ancient origin. It might be truer to say that civil marriage is the way the state handles the pre-existing institution of marriage.
With Christianity came sacramental marriage. Civil marriage was already well established by the time Christianity came along, but sacramental marriage does not build on it; rather, civil and sacramental marriage are like two shoots from the same root of natural marriage. I'll have more to say about sacramental marriage in a later post; here I'll simply note that the notion that marriage is between a man and a woman long pre-dates any form of Christian marriage. Even the Greeks, among whom sex with boys and sexual relationships between older men with younger men were not uncommon, kept them quite apart from marriage.
And that brings us to what I'll call neo-marriage, for lack of a better term. Neo-marriage is solely about the two people involved, and only for as long as they want to remain involved. It is disconnected from sacramental marriage, at least as practised by the Catholic Church, because it is not sacramental, and is not expected to be permanent; it is detached from natural marriage because it is more about the couple than about the resulting family. Its foundation, to the extent that it has one apart from the couple themselves, lies in civil marriage, but its roots are not deep.
Same-sex marriage, as such, is an extension of neo-marriage to gay and lesbian couples. Since it can't be based on natural marriage, it has to get its legitimacy from civil marriage. Which explains the comments I've been getting.
By karrde, August 24, 2012 @ 4:08 am
A fairly good analysis.
Probably right, or closer-to-right than most of the Usual Suspects in the debate on the meaning of marriage.
And it is important to note how much American attitudes about marriage changed in the 20th Century, developing into the concept of neo-marriage.
Among those changes was a big step away from the teachings of Christ about marriage in the enactment of no-fault divorce laws. This practice was in tune with the culture, but out of tune with historic Christianity. Anyone who charges religious folks with setting up a theocracy, or who desires to return to Biblical definitions of marriage, is encouraged to think about reversal of no-fault divorce.
…and I realized I just ran into an argument for a sharp separation between sacramental marriage and civil marriage. Because the United States isn't a theocracy. At its most religious, the U.S. was a multi-religion nation with an approximately-Deist public face.
However, I don't want to advocate for that, yet. I'd like to see where this is going.
By Will Duquette, August 24, 2012 @ 5:24 am
One thing I can assure you is that I'm not going to be advocating that all marriages in the U.S. should be sacramental by law. That would be nuts.
More generally, there are lots of arguments one can make about the evils caused by the this or that distortion of marriage. No-fault divorce is certainly a watershed in this area. What I'm after, though, is looking at what natural and sacramental marriage are in essence, and just how neo-marriage differs.

I watch Fox News and learn that Barack Obama really did not win the recent election.  Victory in this election came about due to hurricane Sandy or  to those  foreign illegal immigrants who fail to appreciate what we white folk have done for them. After all, it is we whites who allow them to pick peaches, pick tip garbage nd work in meat packing plants. Instead of expressing some gratitude these shiftless lazy bums voted for the black dude.
Of course, those wonderful Americans who gave over $380 million of their hard earned money are a bit upset. How come America did not get on its knees and thank Sheldon Adelson and his coterie of wealthy folk? They had the money, they had the message–love the wealthy and down with the poor– and for some strange reason these modern Americans turned away from American ideals and went with Socialism! Bill O'Reilly hit the right note, Republicans lost because they could not beat Santa Claus.
It comes down to the party of Santa Claus vs the party of God fearing decent      caring folk. Santa wins every time.   I guess this means Republicans will have to embrace Santa. Americans have to desire having a car elevator in their homes and if they think this way, the Republicans will win every election!

Fri Apr 11 2014
Last week, we tested out how damn loud this town is. (Spoiler: It's loud.) This time around, we see just how many of you fine New Yorkers actually pitch in when someone needs a hand. Actor Christy Hall and an undercover cameraman hit Manhattan and Brooklyn to count up which of you denizens earn Good Samaritan badges for lending their hands when her groceries tumble. Check the video above for our results. Fancy yourself a New York saint? Take our quiz to see how friendly you really are.
