I have a very small world when it comes to sneakers. I've only tried Keds and Converse. Keds seem simple and plain. Converse, honestly, isn't comfortable. I got a blister at the back of my foot the first time I wore them. I've also worn it for long periods on travels. They made my feet hurt.
I honestly thought that the pain of breaking shoes in was the norm, then Janice of Mommy Mundo introduced me to Feiyue. Her cousin, Jaycee Dee, distributes Feiyue locally. We visited their flagship store in the Sekai building (The Sekai Building is right after the Ortigas gate of North Greenhills).
Feiyue was first manufactured in Shanghai in the 1920's. It literally means "Flying Forward" in Chinese. (I can imagine this coming from those kung fu masters flying in their sneakers.) In 2006, it was re-invented by a group of French sneaker enthusiasts, giving the shoe more urban designs but still retaining its comfort.
Structurally, it reminds me of the Dragonfly way back when we were younger. Design-wise, it's much more than that. It comes in a variety of colors, cuts and designs. It actually took me an hour to choose which design I wanted for myself,
and for my daughter. The kids' designs were super cute!!!
In the end, I liked the simple white sneaker with the black logo. I got the classic red and blue logo for M with velcro straps for ease of wearing.
They're very comfortable. I have not felt any rubbing or chaffing on any part of my foot. I used them on long walks and a trip out of town and my feet didn't hurt!! Good job Feiyue on the design of these shoes. The break-in pain was non-existent. It can be done!
Now, I want to get another pair for me and M — maybe in black or navy (so it doesn't bring out the OC too often). The adult pairs are only less than 3k and the kids' shoes are less than 2k. These will be M's everyday school shoes because I know they'll be comfortable for sure.

" Brand: Birds Eye / Type: Mousse "
Like others, I can remember Supermousse from childhood and really enjoyed them when I was younger. I was happy to hear that they'd made a comeback and bought a stawberry and vanilla pack from Tesco.
The thing is, the recipe seems to have changed and it's really not for the better. Where I distinctly remember a creamy mousse - in terms of both flavour and texture - the new stuff is almost flavourless and has a strange, almost icy consistency. Perhaps back in the 80s/90s they were using ingredients that are frowned on today. I can't think of another reason why they'd have opted for this recipe otherwise.
The other difference is the sauce. Specifically, there's a lot less of it. My childhood manner of eating a Supermousse was to eat the inner creamy part and then eat the outside, which would have melted a little, mixing with the fruity sauce. Lovely! As I've said, the mousse itself just isn't as pleasant to eat anymore, but it's even more disappointing that there's no real sauce to give it a lift!
I really can't recommend these. If you want a frozen snack to remind you of childhood, you'd be much better off with Arctic Roll, which has some flavour and seems to be the same as the original roll I remember.
I can't remember Birds Eye making these, but remember the Supermarkets Value range sold 10 of these little Mousse tubs for about £1. I actually had some of those recently as they were a blast from the past, and when I saw that these ones were new out then we just had to try them. It was more the wife and her buying the new thing that was on offer.
These seemed pretty expensive at a normal retail price of £1.49 for the 4 Mousses, but they were on offer for £1.
They are in the freezers and next to the other frozen desserts.
The pack for these was ok. They were in an outer wrapper which was colourful enough. It stood out next to the other more plain looking desserts. The Mousses are in little plastic tubs inside with a cardboard lid cover.
You just take these out of the freezer and either defrost at room temperature or put in the fridge. I would say these take around 30 minutes to defrost.
These were a bit larger then the cheaper Mousses out there, and although perhaps not that large a dessert, a good enough size.
These are Vanilla Mousse with a strawberry swirl running through them. I think there could have done with having more Strawberry sauce through these, as there wasn't that much, but it was quite sticky and fruity with a bit tang to it. The Mousse was light and fluffy, and a nice taste and texture.
We would buy these again as they were nice enough, but just far too dear at the right retail price. 90p would be more suitable I would say.
When I was a little lad I used to eat these all the time and then one day birds eye just stopped making them, I don't really know why. But the good news is that they are back on the market.
Other good news is that they are bigger than they used to be. They now have a bigger circumference and are also deeper, meaning more mousse! For those of you who have never had them before, they are not like your average mousse that you eat from the fridge. With this one you can keep them for a lot longer as you are supposed to freeze them and then 30 minutes before you eat it just remove it and let it stand. I however like to eat them from the freezer and then are more like an ice cream them, but for some reason the flavour doesn't seem to be as strong when you do this.
This particular mousse is vanilla flavoured and has a strawberry sauce rippled through it. You get 130ml in each tub.
The ingredients are as follows:
Vanilla Flavoured Mousse (85%), Strawberry Flavoured Sauce (15%).
Vanilla Flavoured Mousse
Reconstituted Dried Skimmed Milk, Sugar, Water, Vegetable Oil, Glucose Syrup, Whey Powder, Dextrose Syrup, Beef Gelatine, Emulsifier (E471), Stabilisers (Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate), Natural Flavour, Natural Colour (Mixed Carotenes).
Strawberry Flavoured Sauce
Water, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Strawberry Purée (10%), Tapioca Starch, Natural Colours (Anthocyanins, Curcumin), Natural Flavour, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Gelling Agent (Pectin).
In a pack you don't just get one, but you get four! I guess the only problem with that is that if you buy them and don't like it after trying it then you have three more to do something with! Luckily for me I liked them from when I was younger so I knew I'd be ok!
The tub is made of a frosty coloured plastic and has a red cardboard top that has a small tab on it so you can easily pull it off. All four of them come inside a plastic wrapper.
I have given these a four star rating because I think they are a great treat for after a meal but I would like them to have a little bit more flavour. Retro is very in at the moment too and these certainly are retro, I mean I was eating them in the 80's and they have come back now! Very happy!!!

Weekend Bookworm: New Finnish Grammar
23 November 2012 , 10:16 AM by Rob Minshull
New Finnish Grammar by Diego Marani
It is September 1943 and Italy has just surrendered to the Allies. At Trieste, a wounded soldier is found on the quay and brought on board a German hospital ship anchored in the harbour. All he has is a jacket with the Finnish name "Sampo Karjalainen" sewn into it. The doctor treating him is originally from Finland and believes the name on the jacket means his patient is also Finnish. The patient, however, has no memory - and no language.
"All linguistic feeling, all interest in words, had died away. I could not speak any language, I no longer knew which was my own ... ideas ideas that seemed perfectly straightforward simply melted away before my powerless gaze. Even the letters, which I thought I knew one by one, which I had the feeling I could write without difficulty, had now become signs without sounds, mute hieroglyphics from some vanished civilisation."
With no memory, no roots and no words in his head, Sampo travels through war-torn Europe "back home" to Finland to search for his past and an identity. In Helsinki, he is befriended by an ebullient Lutheran pastor who sets about teaching Sampo Finland's myths and legends in the hope of providing some kind of anchor for the shattered man's struggle.
But despite the best efforts of Pastor Koskela and the unrequited love of a Red Cross nurse, Sampo pounds the streets of Helsinki and fails to find any trace of his past or any empathy and understanding for the language of those around him. Eventually, Sampo realises his "memory was nothing but a list of words, a dictionary, a conversation manual."
Does Sampo fail in his quest for a Finnish identity because of something dark and terrible in his past, has something beyond imagination prevented him from remembering or is he simply the victim of a great mistake who has had an identity forced upon him?
New Finnish Grammar is a desperately sad book. No person can have a future if they do not possess a past and inventing a history can never be a substitute for the real thing. That the book is set in World War II is evidence of the dangers of imagined destinies. As the doctor treating Sampo argues: "Despots masquerading as patriots insist on the importance of their own myths, proclaiming that, without such myths, there can be no true patriotism." It is what "lies at the root of the madness which has reduced Europe to ashes."
The Courier-Mail review of Diego Marani's novel summed it up perfectly as "a well-paced dissection of what drives a man to kill to survive, to forget to preserve a past, then lose it all just when the storm clouds are drifting away."
Diego Marani works as a senior linguist for the European Union: clearly the concept of learning languages is something important to him. New Finnish Grammar is a stunning exploration of how language defines us and how it can both give and take away our sense of self. It is also an incredibly profound story about identity and loss, about the insanity of war and the importance of love.

Common App Complications
October 9, 2013
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As we enter another school year, the time has come again for our seniors to begin their college applications, and as the issue at hand becomes more and more relevant, the seniors will need more and more information. Among the most important task of application season is the common application.
The common app is a program that allows students to apply to multiple schools, in a central location. There are approximately five hundred schools on the website, each with their own requirements. Everyone from parents/guardians, to counselors, and past teachers all have an influence on whether or not you finish your common app and how academically competitive it is.
Although it is the responsibility of the student to fill out each form, there are parts of the common app which require help from additional sources. One section of the application asks for your parent/guardian's schooling history. It is required to answer not only what college they went to but also how long they went to that particular school, and what degree(s) they acquired while there, and if it just so happens that your parent/guardian went to more than one college you will be asked to give further information on those college(s) as well.
Our knowledge of the college admissions process should not start in the 12th grade, in September, when deadlines are already nearing. The Common Application opened on August 1, 2013 and there are still many seniors who have not begun. Even more, there are many underclassmen that have no clue what it is. When asked, 7 out of 10 juniors had no idea what common app was, and even worse 18 out of 20 seniors that had not even begun by mid September.
Nevertheless, Imani English, a senior at King/ Drew took the opposite approach and decided to be proactive in her journey to apply to college. When asked what the hardest part of the application was she stated "the parent's education aspect". English, a student athlete, was not particularly selective in choosing schools to apply to. As far as staff support, Imani said that Dr. Graeber was among the most helpful. She does not plan on using the Common App solely to apply to the colleges she would like to go to, because not all of the schools she would like to attend are listed on the website.
The Common App is a collective effort between students, school staff, and parents as a whole. If in any of these three components are missing, then the student will have a harder time finishing the Common App successfully. All seniors should make it a priority to at least explore the Common App. Even if you don't plan on applying to any of the schools available, the Common Application is still a good tool for getting a general feel for the college application process itself.
Start early, and don't be afraid to get ahead start; the road to college is not one traveled quickly.

Jessica Simpson Hits the Town in NYC
With her bright smile leading the way, Jessica Simpson took care of some business at a New York City office building on Monday (December 2).
Lovely in a black leather jacket over a sheer black blouse, the "Dukes of Hazzard" dame accessorized her look with an animal print tote as she she made her way back outside.
Last week, the mom of two spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Boston with her fiance Eric Johnson and their kiddos.
While in Beantown, the couple managed to squeeze in some alone time, leaving their children Maxwell and Ace with Eric's family while they enjoyed dinner out.

Now know that he's not a car guy, but knows that I am and that I am interested in the new generation V. He says that he looked at the plackard alongside the new V and said the bottom line price was listed at $72,000. This info can easily be verified for it's accuracy this weekend when the show opens to the public. I won't be attending, but I am sure someone from the area on this board will be.

Trofie Pasta with Cockles, Chiles and Black Bean Sauce
Ken Vedrinski discovered the hand-coiled pasta called trofie and the super-minerally white-wine Vermentino while traveling in Liguria.
Slideshow:More Great Pastas
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 12 thin asparagus spears, trimmed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3 large shallots, thinly sliced
- One 750-milliliter bottle dry white wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 tablespoons Chinese black bean–garlic sauce
- 1 fresh red chile, seeded and minced
- 1 pound artisanal trofie or fusilli
- 4 dozen cockles, scrubbed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
How to make this recipe
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the asparagus until just tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the asparagus to a work surface, let cool and cut into 1-inch lengths. Reserve the water for the pasta.
In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and shallots and cook over moderately low heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and bay leaves and boil over high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaves, stir in the black bean–garlic sauce and chile, cover and remove from the heat.
Return the water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente; drain and return to the pot.
Bring the black bean sauce to a boil. Add the cockles, cover and cook over high heat until they open, 2 minutes. Stir in the asparagus. Add the pasta and toss. Season with salt and pepper, add the parsley and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Vermentino, a white Italian grape, grows all over the seaside region of Liguria. Its natural minerality is good with shellfish dishes.

Uh-oh, Bronte Capital's John Hempton has taken an interest in Lululemon Athletica Inc. , the high-end yoga apparel company. Mr. Hempton writes an excellent investing blog, where he often outlines his reasons for short-selling a particular stock – often, Chinese-based companies with perplexing financial records.
Lululemon certainly doesn't fall into that category, but it does have a perplexing valuation: After surging 84 per cent over the past 12 months, the stock now trades at an astounding 51-times estimated earnings, a lofty valuation that implies outstanding earnings growth ahead. However, Mr. Hempton prefers to look at the company's price-to-sales ratio, which is 10.
"That is amazing for a fashion company," he said. He holds up Nike Inc. as a comparison, where the price-to-sales ratio is just over 2. "And Nike is not a thin margin business," he said. "No other clothing company comes close."
And if you're willing to compare Lululemon to a technology stock, he points out that Apple Inc.'s price-to-sales ratio never rose above 7 and it is currently just over 3.
So is Mr. Hempton willing to short – or bet against – Lululemon, based on its valuation? He's merely thinking things through at this point, raising several questions, including: Can you explain the stock price in any terms other than a play on female vanity? And, what if anything keeps the competition out of yoga clothes?
"Shorting female vanity is not something I have ever done successfully," he said. And besides, if the stock is overpriced now, it was overpriced 50 per cent ago, too.
Other investors seem to be thinking along the same lines. According to Nasdaq, the stock has a short interest ratio – that is, the number of shares sold short divided by the stock's average daily trading volume – of just 2.5 per cent, as of the middle of January. That compares to an average short interest ratio of 5.4 for other stocks in the Nasdaq, suggesting that betting against Lululemon is not exactly a popular bet right now.Report Typo/Error

Fight Club
OK, so Dinah inspired me with her "You're The Psychiatrist...." post. She does do this fairly regularly. She stumbled into an Ultimate Fighting event and came out wondering, "Why do people do this?"
I'll tell you why. I have some experience with fighters, both as a psychiatrist who works with violent people and as someone who has hung around black belts for about twenty years.
It's about competition, it's about adrenaline and excitement, it's about taking risks and not being afraid of the consequences. (I'm tempted to say 'it's a guy thing', but besides being a sexist comment it would also happen to be an untrue statement. At some of the martial arts competitions I've been to I can tell you there are a substantial number of women competing nowadays. And you should see their tattoos!) So it's a sport, although I have to say there's sometimes a fine blurred line between a sport and a crime. If there are rules, if there's a professional organization sponsoring the event, if you have to pay to get in and you get some kind of formal training, then it's a sport.
Then there are crimes. People who fight---without rules and without sports equipment----sometimes do it because they enjoy it. It releases tension, gets rid of pent up emotion, and sometimes it settles problems (whether it's a good way to settle problems is obviously a whole different question). Among prisoners the challenge is to see how "good" you are at it or to establish dominance and defend your turf. It's to enforce gang rules or to punish rulebreakers. Among the younger inmates (also called "hoppers" in prison slang, after hip-hop) the idea is that fighting is protective; by being willing to 'step out' you'll be less vulnerable and it will keep people away from you. Younger inmates also will prove themselves by going up against much bigger prisoners or correctional officers. (The much bigger, more experienced correctional officers can usually see this coming and can 'talk them down' or persuade them that it's really not a good thing to do.)
So that's what my experience has been and what I can say about the motivation of fighters. Street fighters eventually grow up or burn out. They figure out they won't always be the biggest baddest person on the block and that injuries accumulate over time. Then there's the rare person who never figures it out, and they stay locked up. One prisoner I met had been in a coma for several weeks as result of a street fight. I asked him what he had learned from the experience. His response:
"Next time I bring a gun."

I've come across this a few times, the majority of these appearances aren't for the Brotherhood character Fesak is talking about here, most of them are the demon Basilisk (I think all except the Deadpool appearance). Is there a way if I were to create another Basilisk page to easily put those appearances on the new page without having to individually add them?

Home theater systems, whole-house audio systems and their corporate equivalents are big business these days. Of course, B&H carries everything that home enthusiasts and professionals need to assemble these systems. Whether it's flat-screen TVs, home-theater systems, audio amplifiers, speakers, computers or any kind of related accessory, B&H is your go-to resource. Less prominent, but equally important in these systems, is the gear that knits everything together so the components can function as a whole. And B&H carries all of that equipment, too.
Atlona Technologies is a big manufacturer of audio-video gear, with a product line that encompasses connectivity solutions of all types. Atlona's gear is commonly used by consumers, and even more so in the fields of broadcasting, entertainment, medical imaging and government. Standard-definition equipment is largely ignored today, as the focus is now on high-definition gear that is evolving at an alarming rate. Fortunately, Atlona has been able to keep up with this fast-paced evolution by introducing new equipment at an equally furious pace.
Atlona equipment lets installers and integrators build consumer solutions such as smart home installations, whole home audio systems, custom home theaters and more, and it's easy to integrate new technologies such as 3D or legacy gear—including DVD players and older gaming systems. Atlona's equipment is compatible with all popular control systems including AMX, Crestron, RTI and Control 4.
Commercial applications include boardroom video-conferencing and AV solutions, distance learning, digital signage, hotel and motel hospitality solutions, medical imaging, event centers, houses of worship, broadcasting, education and other scenarios. Let's take a look at some of the Atlona gear in B&H's inventory.
Adapters and converters allow you to attach one type of connector to another or to convert one signal type to another. This is necessary when you want to feed, say, a VGA signal into an HDMI input, or to convert an NTSC signal to PAL.
Atlona's converters and adapters run the gamut, allowing just about any connectivity you could imagine. Adapters for all popular connectors are offered, including HDMI and DVI, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort, VGA and Component, BNC and RCA. A wide variety of converters are available as well, including PC, TV, PAL, NTSC, analog and digital audio, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, VGA, Component, 3G/HD/SD SDI and much, much more.
Switches are used to select one signal for transmission or viewing from many. For example, a newsroom might be receiving several live video feeds and needs to switch between them as the news report progresses from story to story. Atlona makes switches for HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, VGA, RGBHV, Component video, S-Video, composite, BNC and 3G/HD/SD SDI video and even makes KVM, or Keyboard-Video-Mouse switches.
Amplifiers are used to boost signal strength, either to compensate for signal loss or to match the signal level to meet the requirements of specific equipment. Splitters are used to feed one signal to two or more pieces of equipment while maintaining signal strength and avoiding any degradation. Atlona manufactures amplifiers and splitters for all types of signals including HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, VGA, RGBHV, component video, S-Video, composite video, 3G/HD/SD SDI and digital and analog audio.
Extenders are used to send signals farther than they're normally transmitted, sometimes by cable and sometimes wirelessly. Atlona makes extenders for HDMI, DVI, VGA and component, composite and 3G/HD/SD SDI video, for RS232, IR and USB signals and for KVMs.
Atlona makes many other products, including wireless transmitters, for sending the video output from a computer to an HDTV set, signal generators used for troubleshooting and testing, field monitors and more. Many Atlona products support 3D. Along with other various accessories, Atlona also makes cables and mounting hardware to enable complete installations.

SHA-DO light fixture
Can you believe how gorgeous this is? It's a light fixture which comes in a number of patterns so that when illuminated, beautiful shadows are cast on the wall or ceiling where it is mounted. What a great idea! It's yet another example of how to decorate by doing next-to-nothing -- my kind of project!

Spin Palace Casino – GSOS II Winner!
By definition a 'Grand Slam' competition or tournament is one of the biggest or richest of its kind. In other words – the most prestigious! GSOS stands for the Grand Slam of Slots and this is an online slots tournament from the Microgaming software developer, and therefore offered at all of the sites on this network. Various sites members participated in the competition and the Palace group of sites also had a large number of members joining in on the mega fun and games.
In total – in this latest GSOS II – 290 players walked away from the tournament richer than when they started – their pockets bulging with prize money. They all landed up with a nice cash prize, but there can only be one first place winner. This year the First Place prize was taken by a member of Spin Palace Casino which is a really nice feather in this online casinos' virtual 'Public Relations' cap! There was a bonus prize available, which was $2.43 million for the player who managed to complete the full pay table, unfortunately this did not happen. The most amazing thing about this prize is, it was available in either cash or solid gold bullion. WOW!
You know what the finance people say – when the dollar is weak, gold is strong and a great many people are investing in this commodity, which rarely loses its value today. Winning this bonus prize was however, a very tall order. What would you have chosen, the money or the gold?
The first Grand Slam of Slots took place at Microgaming sites in 2009. Mike Hebden – Casino Head at the developer, said that the success of the first GSOS had created a tough precedent to beat, but that GSOS II had come up to the mark. As far as the unclaimed bonus prize of $2.43 million was concerned; he let us know that Microgaming will use the unused prize money to innovate an even more exciting event with more magnificent prizes for the GSOS III.
The winner of the latest event; only identified as AP at Spin Palace Casino; despite not winning the bonus millions, still left the tournament with $157,515.83 in winnings. Second and third place prizes were $78,780 and $39,367 respectively. Originally the prize was meant to be a total of $290,000 shared between 290 winners; with a first prize of $100,000. The competition proved to be so popular however that the pool increased quite dramatically – by more than 50%! This meant bigger prizes for everyone, and at the end of the GSOS II a massive $456,700 was shared between all of the winners.
One of the most popular games played during this tournament was the brand new Thunderstruck II. This is a brilliant slots game, it carries a Norse God theme and if you want to give it a try you will find it at any Microgaming online casino. Start practicing now to make sure you're on form when the next Grand Slam of Slots Tournament plays.

Sitepoint Members,On this sitehttp://www.nu-health.com/en/alaska-deep-sea-fish-oil-100-softgels-1000-mg.htmlThe green navigation bar near the top and across the page - what is that type of graphic called - graphics of just color and shape? There's two more, one with "my cart" and the other "compare products". There's another "add to cart", that's called a button but there are plenty of buttons that are not color and shape graphics, so "button" isn't the type of graphic for the button.
I just call them background images.
When I search for CSS images I get all sorts of stuff, except these sorts of color-shape images. If you wanted to see a selection of images of this type, what would you type into google? I'm under the impression that the image is entrely css generated. Do you have any idea if it is? Thanks
These images are graphic images created with a paint or image manipulation program such as PhotoShop, GIMP, or MSPaint, they are not created with CSS, but some do use CSS for sizing and placement. One of them is attached.
Ronpat, Do they have a name. They're a unique type, they should. Your attachment wasn't yet approved for me to look at.
No, they don't have special names.
It's not that hard to create simple custom shapes in a graphics program.
The "Add to Cart" button is entirely CSS. The more elaborate graphics are images. Some rather impressive graphic shapes can be created with CSS only; however, images are still the mainstay for more elaborate patterns and textures.
You can copy images from most web sites easily enough. Over time, you can amass your own collection of shapes. You can Google a class of images such as "halloween" or "christmas" but I don't know of a way to Google particular shapes.
Maybe a graphics person can offer more insight, though. There are several graphic regulars here who may add some experience to the topic.
Yes, there is a background image involved there ( http://www.nu-health.com/skin/frontend/default/theme038k/images/btn.png ) although buttons like that can now be done entirely with CSS these days.
That image via the link , are you sure that's it (the green navigation bar with the whip or pint on the left side)? That link leads to what I think is a sprite of white, light green, and green rectangles. I think it's some sort of color palette. I don't see the point comming off the images like you see on the site (or similar in comics). The green image via the link is only 35 pixels tal, on the site it's 48 pixels tall. I'm missing something here. I don't see the image, in part or whole, on the site.
Is it any help seeing the page with no images?
I think they way most live - no eye candy no want.
The link that Ralph posted is to the image used in the "Add to Cart" button.
This is the link to the header nav image (it is the same image as I included in post #4):
If I can get that image I'll use it instead of looking for a variety of such images for ideas - because I can't even get past square one on that. Let me see what happens in the graphics forrum Ronpat was talking about.
Sitepoint Members,What is the name of the type of graphic (maybe emerging graphic) that is either an image or made from CSS. An example is the green navigation bar that goes along the near the top with the curve and point on the left side on this site: http://www.nu-health.com/en/alaska-deep-sea-fish-oil-100-softgels-1000-mg.htmland then two smaller ones of the same type on the right side on the same site?
Hey wait a second, Ronpat already found it. I over looked the thumbnail (I guess) of it he used. Thanks Ron!
As mentioned above you can do things like this for modern browsers without using images and thus allow them to scale and wrap as required.
Here's a quick example.
Thanks for the examples. This is the first time I've seen auto stretching colors. That helps me a lot. Thanks Paul.
Is there a simple way to reverse or turn a css graphic around?
You'll need to be more specific about what you want to do. There's not such things as a CSS graphic, so far as I know.
CSS Ribbon graphic. After a night's sleep, I don't need that after all.

Newt finally acknoweldged that Mitt was going to be the candidate of the Republican party for president of the United States. However, it will take Newt at least another week to clarify why he thinks Mitt has won and why he has lost. Of course, Newt has not really lost since the gig of running for president has provided him countless gigs to make money informing the public why he is the better candidate. There are unconfirmed reports Newt is headed for Tiffany's store to purchase his wife some new trinkets which he can pay for with the new gigs awaiting.
It seems like a decade ago there were at least a dozen striving for the Republican nomination and now there is one. Of course, the problem now is which one of the Romney people who has so far lived is the one running for president? Is it the pro-choice, pro health care or the anti-choice, anti health care Romney who seeks the nomination. The good news is the Romney who will run is the Romney who will say anything in order to get elected.


text: Well well well. That was all kinds of amazing fun! Why can't every episode be that awesome. (And I say that even without Elijah! The world might be ending today, y'all) EvilAlaric is 10000x more badass and fun to watch than Klaus on his best [worst] day. I really hope he sticks around for next season because this is a bad guy I can root for! And let's face it, in the overall grand scheme he's right! The world would be so much better if they deleted all vamps. Except that then we wouldn't have a show and I'd never have hope for another 5 minute tease of Elijah on my screen. Matt Davis has confirmed once and for all that he has been utterly wasted in every episode [other than his Klaus possession] up to this point. I liked the twist that he can't live forever but it's very amusing that yet another character NEEDS Elena to be safe. Ha! Stefan was the runner up MVP this episode for that exchange with Klaus at the end. I dare say he looked a bit sad watching Klaus shrivel up, no?? Was I imagining that? Maybe there was some actual "brotherhood" to them in the 20s that his ripper self hasn't completely forgotten. Also when he told Klaus he and Damon are closer than ever, I awww'd. I don't exactly like them agreeing to leave town if she picks the other though because we all know she's going to pick Stefan if it comes down to it. Is it also bad of me that for a minute I wished Klaus would have killed her so these two could stop competing for her almighty love? I know, I know, not a show without her. Bah. YAY! Caroline and Tyler made it through the episode and are all lovey dovey again. I was truly scared that Tyler wasn't going to make it once Klaus realized he was no longer sired. Whew! I also liked Klaus acting like a spoiled child outside throwing random things in at them and Damon acting like a child in return with "missed me" Ha! Still, as fun as that was, the first person that compares it to Elijah and the most awesome of all awesome Elijah moments, of the coin toss through the window, will lose an eye! So now I'm wondering if they will leave Klaus in the ocean or if it's just a tease and he'll manage his way back next week. I'll have to call BS if so. Also this is a spoiler of sorts for next week so beware before you open!! Spoiler Elijah returns next week! WOOOOHOOO!!!!!

David Glass has kept such a low public profile since stepping down as Walmart president and CEO it was surprising to see his name pop up as the featured speaker at an upcoming event in Northwest Arkansas.
Glass stepped down as CEO of Walmart nearly 15 years ago and he's scarcely been heard from since, leaving those newer to the company to know him largely as the guy after whom the company's massive information technology building is named.
That situation changes Thursday, Feb. 6 when Glass is due to speak at the annual dinner of the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce. While Glass was never the most dynamic speaker even in his heyday, those who attend the event could be in for a treat. As anyone who as ever heard the legendary retailer speak can attest, the timeless wisdom he imparted always trumped the measured pace of his delivery style.


text: 9 a.m. 49S04-1210-CT-607. Following an automobile collision between Schoettmer and an employee of South Central Community Action Program, Inc., Schoettmer and the defendants' insurer engaged in settlement negotiations that ultimately proved unsuccessful. Schoettmer did not separately provide notice of his claim to the defendants. After Schoettmer filed suit, the defendants moved for summary judgment based on Schoettmer's noncompliance with the notice provisions of the Tort Claims Act. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants, and a divided panel of the Court of Appeals affirmed. Schoettmer v. Wright, 971 N.E.2d 118 (Ind. Ct. App. 2012), vacated. The Supreme Court has granted a petition to transfer the case and has assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.

With Megan Fox, you take what skin you can get. The uber-hottie with the tight body rarely ever shows much of anything, so we'll gladly take these brief bits of covered topless shots from the film Passion Play which is out in about two theaters across the U.S. right now because, well, because despite having a seemingly cool cast and Megan Fox almost kind of topless, it looks like it could be a grueling 90 minutes. Of course, this being Egotastic!, we tried to cut a clip down to the best 20-seconds of the movie for you.Enjoy.
UPDATE: We've been receiving tons of letters about the Foxy 'nipple slip' seen in one of the film stills. I tend to agree that there's something there there. However, Cousin Jonathan insists that this is a fuzz of the camera and lights result, not Foxy nipple. He's holding his grand, despite likely being wrong. And, I am quite enjoying the more thorough re-examination process.)

Surprise, surprise. China's GDP growth for the third quarter came in bang on the consensus estimate of 7.4%, the slowest rate of growth in years. But the market liked it because on a quarter-on-quarter basis growth was 2.2%, up from 2% in the prior quarter. So on an annualised basis, the Chinese economy grew at a fast 8.8%.
Or did it?
We mentioned yesterday that the published numbers are a farce. They tell you what the Chinese Communist party wants you to know — that they are in control and everything is going according to plan.
For example, here's the introduction to China's GDP release from the National Bureau of Statistics of China:
'In the first three quarters of 2012, faced with the complicated and volatile economic environment at home and abroad, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council committed to the general tone of progressing steadily, correctly handled the relationships among steady and comparatively rapid economic development, the adjustment of economic structures and the management of expectation on inflation, paid more attention to maintaining steady growth, carried out the proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, and made great efforts in policy presetting and fine tuning. As a result, the overall national economy realized steady development with some positive changes: the economic development stabilized; structural adjustment speeded up and people's livelihood continued to be improved.'
So there you have it, The Party has it all under control…nothing to see here, go about your business.
And the bluster seems to have worked. Based on yesterday's data release, everyone now seems to think that China's growth rate has 'bottomed' and it's back to business as usual from here. John Garnaut's article in The Age nicely encapsulates this cosy little world view.
Garnaut's reporting from China is normally good, but here he just reports the 'facts' as dished out by China's central planners. To really get a grip on what's happening in China you have to look behind the facts. So as a counter to the mainstream view, which is one that the media will no doubt run with for the next few days, have a read of this. It's analysis from one of our favourite China watchers, operating out of Hong Kong.
The gist of the analysis is that the numbers really don't make sense. That there are other important indicators that suggest China's GDP growth should (or could) be much lower. For example electricity consumption growth is nearing 0% year-on-year.
So the task of today's Markets and Money is to show you why China's supposedly better-than-expected data is not what it seems. And especially for Australia, it means the 'pain' has only just started.
Allow us to explain.
The whole point of this 'engineered' Chinese slowdown is to rebalance the Chinese economy. That is, rebalance away from property and 'fixed-asset' related investment, and more towards domestic growth. The third quarter China's GDP data suggests that is not happening at all. In other words, the rebalancing has not even started.
For the three months to September, fixed asset investment grew at an annualised rate of 17.6%. That's slower than annualised growth for the first three quarters of the year of 20.5% but it's still very robust and much faster than overall growth. This means that fixed asset investment as a percentage of GDP is still growing — exactly the opposite outcome of what China says it's trying to achieve.
Or take real estate investment. In the first three quarters of the year, real estate investment grew at an annual rate of 15.4%. That's a big slowdown from the same period last year (when annualised growth hit 32%) but it's still in excess of overall GDP growth, which means property investment as a percentage of China's GDP still remains stubbornly high.
In other words, China's rebalancing has not even started. The process of rebalancing is underway, in that growth rates for real estate and fixed asset investment are coming down, but they need to slow much more for actual rebalancing to occur.
China can spur growth again easily if it wants…but it will be unstable growth. It will cause even greater transition problems down the track.
This is the issue that most people don't understand about China. That is, rebalancing the economy requires much, much slower growth in the commodities intensive sectors of fixed assets (roads, railways, empty cities, etc) and real estate, and much faster growth in domestic consumption.
Given that much of China's household wealth has actually financed the investment boom, turning off the funding tap (to encourage spending instead of saving) would prove disastrous.
Xiao Gang, Chairman of the Bank of China, recently wrote an op-ed piece for China Daily that focused on this financing of the investment boom. Much of it occurs through China's 'shadow banking system', which consists of 'Wealth Management Products'. They are off-balance sheet vehicles sold by the banks to households and could be as large as nearly US$2 trillion. Gang writes:
'Chinese banks work closely with trust companies or other entities by packaging trust loans into WMPs, offering investors a higher yield than conventional bank deposits can. These products are mainly sold by commercial banks either at their branches or online. Many of the funds that were obtained through these channels went into real estate development, infrastructure projects, the manufacturing sector and local government financing vehicles. Banks are playing the role of "middlemen" between the recipients and investors.
'There are more than 20,000 WMPs in circulation, a dramatic increase from only a few hundred just five years ago. Given that the number is so big and hard to manage, China's shadow banking sector has become a potential source of systemic financial risk over the next few years. Particularly worrisome is the quality and transparency of WMPs. Many assets underlying the products are dependent on some empty real estate property or long-term infrastructure, and are sometimes even linked to high-risk projects, which may find it impossible to generate sufficient cash flow to meet repayment obligations.
'Moreover, many WMPs are not even linked to any specific asset, rather, just to a pool of assets, whose cash inflows may often not match the timing of scheduled WMP repayments.
'China's shadow banking is contributing to a growing liquidity risk in the financial markets. Most WMPs carry tenures of less than a year, with many being as short as weeks or even days. Thus in some cases short-term financing has been invested in long-term projects, and in such situations there is a possibility of a liquidity crisis being triggered if the markets were to be abruptly squeezed.
'In fact, when faced with a liquidity problem, a simple way to avoid the problem could be through using new issuance of WMPs to repay maturing products. To some extent, this is fundamentally a Ponzi scheme. Under certain conditions, the music may stop when investors lose confidence and reduce their buying or withdraw from WMPs. The rollover of a large share of WMPs could weigh heavily on formal banks' reputations, because many investors firmly believe that banks won't close down and they can always get their money back.'
They're some pretty strong words from a bank Chairman currently enjoying the benefits of the Ponzi. It just goes to show the deep-seated natures of the problems unleashed by a credit boom. We explained how it all came to pass in our China's Bust report.
The thing to keep in mind when looking at headlines about China's so-called 'revival' is that this is a long term problem. More importantly for commodity exporters like Australia, China's economic adjustment has not even started in earnest.
As is the nature of these long term trends, there will always be a short term counter-trend or argument to deal with along the way. But don't be misled. Keep your eye on the big (underlying) picture, because worries about China's growth trajectory will surface again…maybe later this year…maybe in early 2013.
If you want some specific investment ideas about how to avoid the fallout from this structural change in China's (and by implication, Australia's) economy, check out Dan Denning's latest report on the subject.
The bottom line here is that if you're betting on China, you're betting against history. No nation in history has ever had such unbalanced economic growth (that is, investment accounting for around 50% of GDP). In the instances that came close (the notable examples are Japan in the late 1980s and the US in the late 1920s) the aftermath was not too pretty…
Have a great weekend!

8 Tim Howard (Everton/ENG) 43/0
Denied Brazil numerous times with excellent saves to keep his team in the game until the final minutes. Pushed away a low Robinho shot bound for the lower corner in the 11th minute, repelled close-range headers by Lucio and Kaka early in the second half (the second of which replays showed had crossed the goal line), and stoned Luis Fabiano on a stone-cold breakaway shortly before Brazil equalized.
5 Jonathan Spector (West Ham/ENG) 18/1
Assisted on first goal with great diagonal cross from midfield and played a few accurate passes. Couldn't secure his corner after the second U.S. goal, and was beaten often by Robinho, Andre Santos, and Daniel Alves when they came up his side. Stepped up to intercept balls early in the match, less successful with players dribbling at him.
6 Oguchi Onyewu (Standard Liege/BEL) 47/5
As in previous matches, won numerous head balls, but not nearly as many, since Brazil breached the wings rather easily and served the ball better. Beaten by through ball to Luis Fabiano but Howard came up with the save. Repelled a lot of set pieces in the air, powered a header from a corner kick over the crossbar in the final minutes.
6 Jay DeMerit (Watford/ENG) 15/0
Dogged and determined in his tackling yet as was the case for most of the Americans, couldn't keep pace in the second half. Nearly let Luis Fabiano escape late in the match but recovered to block his shot. A half-step slow and unlucky not to block Luis Fabiano's shot on the first goal, also a hair late sliding to block the cross that set up the second.
5 Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes/FRA) 69/11
Battled Maicon often without much help. Blocked one of his shots and deflected a cross bound for a wide-open Luis Fabiano in the first half. Got his head to a U.S. corner kick but couldn't direct the ball on frame. Won a few duels at the back post but also failed to win balls in the second half as Brazil rallied.
7 Ricardo Clark (Houston) 23/1
Great ball to Landon Donovan sent him on his way to set up and score second goal, played ball wide for Spector on the first one. Still too prone to be caught in possession with second and third touches as pressure closed in. Range helped close off the middle but Brazil's combinations left him flustered when it attacked through the channels. Nicked ball away from Kaka with elastic tackle in the 15th minute.
5 Benny Feilhaber (Aarhus/DEN) 23/2
Quickness and anticipation helped blunt Brazil's attacks in the first half, dropped off the pace after halftime prior to being replaced. Spun neatly away from pressure to hit a nice through ball that Landon Donovan couldn't run down. Fought out of a tangle with the ball in the 67th minute as Brazilians swarmed around him.
6 Clint Dempsey (Fulham/ENG) 56/16
Excellent re-direction on Spector's cross to score first goal, combined with Donovan and Charlie Davies in final minutes to create scoring chance. More active defensively than in past games, which helped at times, but he lost the mark when Robinho surged forth from midfield to hit hard low shot Howard saved. Lucio towered over him to head winning goal though he jumped as high as he could.
8 Landon Donovan (Los Angeles) 115/41
Broke away with Davies to exchange passes and score second goal with clever Preki-esque chop move and crisp shot. Delivered numerous accurate dead-balls, including last-minute corner kick that Onyewu headed over the bar. Scythed past Brazilians more than a few times, tested Julio Cesar once with a shot on frame. Came back to run down attackers and clean up loose balls.
6 Charlie Davies (Hammarby/SWE) 9/1
Started strongly by piercing Brazil's back line and playing efficient passes. Raced away with Donovan and played perfect ball behind the final defender for him to score the second goal. Faded as Brazil stepped up its pressure and couldn't find spaces to collect and hold the ball.
5 Jozy Altidore (Xerez/SPAIN) 16/7
Won a couple of battles early and helped teammates find spaces and get into the attacking flow. Ran down a throw-in and turned inside Andre Santos to win a free kick late in the first half. Headed away a shot by Maicon. Did most of his work off the ball with two opponents ready to pounce when it came his way.
4 Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA) 19/1
Did nothing to stem the tide of Brazilian attacks and had no impact offensively.
4 Sasha Kljestan (Chivas USA) 20/3
Intercepted a ball in midfield and played it to a teammate. Spent most of his time chasing and failed to use the ball when he did get it.
nr Conor Casey (Colorado) 14/0
Came on for the final minutes, hardly touched the ball.
(1=low; 5=average; 10=high)

engine life
My car has about 125k mi. i want to put upgrades on my car but idk how much longer my car should last, so i was wondering how long do 02 SVTF's run(mile wise) and should i worry about it.
That is hard to say as a lot of it has to do with how the car was maintained and how bad it has been abused.
i drive it a little hard at times but never over 5k rpm and it was well maintained and the only problem was the last owner didnt replace the timming belt and it snapped on him but i fixed all the damage which was just some bent valves so i replaced all of them to be safe and re-machined the head.
also im not putting a turbo or supercharger on it just a short throw shifter, a HFC, and a tune from tom. and i have a K&N typhoon CAI on it already
According to my brother(Ford line mech), a properly maintained and lubed engine should go over 300k with modest loss of power, and moderate oil consumption. I have over 200k now, and no problems except some oil seeping.
I had a SVT with 240k on the stock motor
Only reason I pulled it out was I had 2 extra
Never go above 5k rpm's!?!?! That's where all the fun starts on the SVT, try it some time and I'll bet you'll do it more often lol. Of course with the gearing they have you'll quickly be over the speed limit by the time your hitting 3rd gear lol
Their are people on here with over 200k mi on them so that's not a problem.
yea i know it is so tempting to but i dont care if im speeding, actually thats what im usually doing just in higher gears lol
The SVT just keeps pulling and pulling well into triple digit speeds [shhh] [paranoid]

2015 Subaru Legacy spills out ahead of Chicago - Autoblog
Pretty meh exterior styling (although I'd argue it's better than the outgoing model), but the interior looks much better.
No confirmations on engine options, but I'm confident the 2.5i will remain on the base model. The real question is the fate of the H6, which has been a Legacy/Outback option since 1999. It's a torquey and extremely reliable engine, but the small four cylinder cars have always outsold the flat six, and there are rumors Subaru will be putting the EZ engine out to pasture for the new model.
Another question is whether or not we will see the return of the Legacy GT model. Last offered in the US in 2010, it has remained an option in Subaru's other markets (along with a six speed manual and a wagon, which we've never seen... ). With the 2015 Legacy, some are wondering if the US will see the GT resurrected with some variant of the 296hp turbocharged FA engine, available on Japanese Legacies since 2012.
File this in the loony-bin, but some automotive journalists have taken the Subaru Levorg concept as a sign of the return of the Legacy wagon to the US, which I'm all for. I think the new body style looks fantastic in wagon form, with a profile reminiscent of the Audi RS7 Avant.

If you're about to upgrade to Windows 7 and you're unsure about making the jump from 32bit to 64bit don't be - Microsoft plans to have us on 128bit by Windows 8...
The news comes courtesy of some lax LinkedIn profile writing courtesy of Robert Morgan, a senior member of the Microsoft Research Team with more than seven years experience. Though now changed, a cached page of his profile showed his status as:
"Working in high security department for research and development involving strategic planning for medium and longterm projects. Research & Development projects including 128bit architecture compatibility with the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 9 project plan. Forming relationships with major partners: Intel, AMD, HP and IBM."
Given the move from 32bit to 64bit (which amongst other things allows far greater RAM to be addressed by a system) has taken so long, the fast jump to 128bit is surprising. Hardware and software support will be required and no doubt the "Forming relationships with major partners: Intel, AMD" part will be crucial to this. Still, Windows 8 isn't expected until 2012 - three years after Windows 7, so there's time to prep yet.
In related news Microsoft has finally taken the sword to its Works productivity software. The suite - which acted like a budget version of Microsoft Office and came preinstalled on many new PCs and laptops - will be replaced by 'Office Starter'. The Starter edition provides stripped down access to ad supported versions of Word and Excel. The likes of Outlook, PowerPoint, etc are missing, but users will be able to upgrade to a full edition from within the software.
Works disappears after more than 20 years on the market. *Sniff*
