I am diabetic since 3 years and my age is 29 yrs. When I got diabetes I lost my weight up to 10 kgs (73 kgs to 64 kgs), after using medications and taking 1 time brown rice and chapathi brought my sugar levels to normal i.e 6.3 HB1AC Post lunch 145, fasting 109. But I am unable to gain weight causing me to look like sick person. So please suggest me any protien powder which can make me to improve my muscles and weight. And also please suggest me can I eat watermelon, pears and kiwi fruits daily. Please reply me.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Once diabetes is well controlled, then taking proper balanced diet, exercising and if needed taking extra proteins should help in building lean body mass (muscle mass) and increase the weight. Only additional protein is not going to help. It has to be supplemented with adequate amount of strength building exercise as well as aerobics. 2 to 3 eggs a day can be a good option. There are many protein powders sold on Amazon which you might try. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user. When you start your workout, mostly the weight loss you see after the workout is water loss. The best way to see if you are loosing weight is via calculating inch loss. Measure your waist size and check the inch loss again after 15 days. It will show you the right results.

37 years old male from Patiala asked
We know that garlic consumption has many medical benefits. But can we consume garlic in summers (of north India) too? If yes, then how much and in what form? Thanks in advance.
B.A.M.S, MD (Ayu.) Kayachikitsa
Dear Thanks for contacting with your health concern 1. Although garlic is best known as good anti hyperlipdemic herb but consumption of same in summer can lead to aggravation of "PITTA' dosha which can imbalance the blood and metabolism [agni] resulting in outbreak of ulcers, acidity [amlapitta],gastritis, low digestion 2. As the hot potency of garlic is responsible for bad odour so avoid consuming it in peak summer time to prevent bad breath as well as bad odour. 3. If you wish to consume the same, I usually advice my patient (s) as follow: i. To prevent bad breath consume 1 clove of garlic during bed time ii. One can opt for lashunadi vati [baidyanath] or garlic pearls [himalaya] iii. If taken in morning: one may rinse mouth with a good mouth wash or drink mint juice [but remember breath comes from blood and not from mouth, so is a temporary measure]

PGDD, RD, Bachelor of Home Science
Dietitian/Nutritionist, Mumbai
Hi. Thanks for the query. After 40-45 years of age, your metabolism slacks, your muscle mass reduces and your fat distribution may change. It's also possible that you have not made any changes in your eating habits which is the same as years ago. With each decade your diet has to change as well. There is no specific exercise to only reduce belly fat but you can add some stretches and strength training to your present workout. Also the more visceral fat is there the more it can affect your health. You need to modify your nutrition definitely to remove unwanted belly fat.

Daniel's '99 E46 320i journal [Denmark]
Hi guys!
I'll tryk and make it short, since most of you probably only look in these threads for photos anyway.
Bought an E46 '99 320i last year in august, with only 103.000km (~64.000 miles) on the clock, full service history and all papers with it. It's fully equipped with Car came bone stock, with the original 16" alloys. Both exterior and interior was as new still. Really mint condition!
Although it's only a 320i, it's expensive as fvck here in Denmark to run a BMW. initial cost of the car (tax is +180% of cars value), high insurance, crazy gas prices. I could go on. But I'm loving every minute behind the wheel of the car anyway, it's definitely worth it.
Anyway, here are two photos from when I bought it:
Then came the mods:
Red calipers
M-tech 2 bumper
Entire front facelifted
New headlights - never seen anyone with these, and I get so much positive feedback on them when people see them 'live'
4300k xenon
Carbon kidney grilles
18" LRN Cyclone CSL lightweight alloys (18x8 ET35 front, 18x9 ET40 rear)
Silvervision bulbs in all indicators
Facelifted taillights
LED license plate light
M3 boot lip
ZHP gearknob, illuminated in red
Chrome rings in speedo dials + small ///M logo in the middle
///M style leather boot for shifter and handbrake
Audio: Pioneer DEH-9300SD, Vibe CBR12 EVO Active V2 Limited Edition in trunk, Rockford Fosgate CPC05-03 hidden in the battery compartment
Schmiedmann floor mats, and other minor detailing around the car...
And here's how she sits today:
I will keep this thread updated with mods, photos etc. I really love taking photos, so expect quite a few from time to time

My reaction too. It's not creepy at all until he shows his tongue and fangs. Then, all bets are off.
The thing is, I'm really quite impressed with the _quality_ of the details. It's just what those details are actually doing that sends me screaming into the night.
Sick pervert that I am, my first thought when he started with the tongue was "Ewww. That's his 'O' face. He's getting a BJ right now."
Which raises the key question: DOES RCIK SANTORUM KNOW ABOUT THIS?
Is this Newt's new campaign ad?
The Pig's not that creepy.
OMG–a male chauvinist pig!
Clearly it deserved all the Oscars it won, but where was Uggie?
You beat me to it, damn you.

The Economist Which MBA? has published a ranking of the .
Schools based in the United States comprise 19 of the 20 top North American full-time MBA programmes. The University of Chicago's Booth school ranks as number one; it also ranks as first in Which MBA?'s overall full . Other schools that made the top ten include Tuck, Harvard, Wharton, MIT and Stanford. The only non U.S. school is Canadian business school York University in Ontario, which appears at number 15.
To compile these rankings, Which MBA? looked at schools' facilities, faculty quality, career service offerings and return on investment. Both the cost of an MBA and the post-MBA salary are top-of-mind among prospective business school students.
Out of all of the MBA programmes in North America, graduates from Stanford are the highest paid, with an average starting salary of about $130,000.This is still lower than starting salaries of graduates from schools such as University of Queensland in Australia or IMD in Switzerland. Which MBA? reports this is because U.S. based schools tend to look for less work experience in their applicants.
U.S. schools lead in the category of most expensive MBA. In fact, a Wharton MBA costs almost the same as the starting salary of a Stanford grad, about $130,000.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Hauser Center Examines Open and Just Societies, Launches New Offices
The Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations celebrated its new location on the Harvard Kennedy School campus (19 October) by honoring founders Gustave and Rita Hauser and hosting a public conversation When is an Open Society also a Just Society?The conversation was held with George Soros, founder and chairman of the Open Society Institute, and Michael J. Sandel, Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard, and was moderated by Christopher Stone, Hauser Center faculty director and Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of the Practice of Criminal Justice.
Stone moderated the lively debate about the intersection of market and moral values and the implications for an open and just society.
"There is a hidden contradiction between open society and capitalism" stated Soros, who then added that market fundamentalism – which he defined as the extension of market values to areas where it doesn't belong – "has done tremendous damage and is in fact endangering our open society today."
Sandel concurred that market and moral values do not always integrate well, citing an example of when a day care center in Israel started to charge parents for picking up their children late as a way to curb the tardiness. He said it actually had the opposite effect because the moral obligation of not inconveniencing the day care worker was replaced by a market value of paying for the service of showing up late instead.
In regards to the role and importance of nonprofits in mitigating this tension and aiding the building of open and just societies, Sandel said "civil society can be an instrument for cultivating a certain kind for civic virtue."
Although Soros agreed, he also warned that "there is a contradiction between feeling good and doing good and that is a fundamental flaw," but "the key is to put your public interest ahead of your personal interest."
They suggested there needs to be a broad civic education project in order for citizens to better understand the effects of market and moral values on important areas of democratic and open societies.
The conversation between Stone, Soros and Sandel was followed by a dedication of the new Hauser Center office space in the Belfer building of the Harvard Kennedy School. To mark the occasion, remarks were delivered by Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust; David T. Ellwood, dean of Harvard Kennedy School and the Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy; and Rita E. Hauser, president of the Hauser Foundation. The speakers cited the Hauser Center as a place of distinction which is effectively collaborating with schools, institutions and colleagues across the university – embodying the interdisciplinary nature of the nonprofit sector – and as a model for nonprofit centers at other universities.

Erica Klafehn - Penfield H.S.
Erica Klafehn is an accomplished classical musician, but she's happiest when she's fiddling! "I'm just into everything,"she says. "I really enjoy orchestral playing on the viola, because I've been playing in the orchestra for four years. But violin, I really like fiddling. I'm not going to lie. It's one of the happiest things I do."
This Penfield High School senior plays the viola and the violin. But she also loves to sing, and is a staple in the school's musical theater program. This year, Erica achieved a rare feat: she was selected to perform in not one, but four different all state ensembles. Erica chose the vocal jazz ensemble. "That's really extraordinary," says Penfield High School music teacher Diane Abrahamian. "I've been teaching a really long time and I've never had another student who accomplished that feat!"

Heartbroken adolescents and bullied school children. Kids from broken homes and seemingly well-adjusted children. Unexpected juvenile violence can happen any place, anytime...And it seems as if recent years have ushered in more of these appalling incidents than every before. here, in shocking and vivid detail, are true stories of young assassins from all around the country, kids who stunned their classmates, their families, and even themselves...
Luke Woodham was a chubby teen who was constantly teased by cruel classmates. So one morning he walked into his mother's bedroom and bludgeoned her to death. He then drove to his Mississippi high school and opened fire on a slew of startled teenagers.
Fourteen-year-old Andrew Wurst, dubbed "Satan" by his classmates, wanted to make his middle-school dance "memorable". So while the romantic theme for Titanic played in the background, Wurst turned on his stupefied classmates and fired wildly at them.
Eleven-year-old Andrew Golden and his thirteen-year-old cousin Mitchel Johnson stunned not just the town of Jonesboro, Arkansas, but the entire nation, when they sprayed helpless teachers and students with a shower of deadly bullets.

Third Party Debates: A Real Discussion Between Left And Right On Overlooked Topics
(MintPress) – As the nation clamors over who won the presidential debate series, four third party candidates are taking part in the democratic process on their own time, participating in the first debate of its kind that's giving a voice to those running for the presidential seat outside of the two party system.
After being denied the opportunity to participate in the prime time television debate series, owned and run by the Commission on Presidential Debates, four third party candidates took part in their own debate Tuesday evening, moderated by Larry King and sponsored by Free and Equal Debates.
The issues discussed overlapped with those highlighted in the televised debates, but candidates Tuesday dove into a number of issues that have been overlooked, including the war on drugs, drone strikes, provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that allow indefinite detention and an expanded discussion on the priorities of the U.S. budget.
But before candidates dove into the action, viewers were given an explanation of the historic process that was about to take place. Prior to handing the microphone over to King, Free and Equal founder Christina Tobin introduced those participating, while sharing the mission of the evening's event.
"Tonight you will meet four presidential candidates. Two of them lean to the left, while the other two lean a little more to the right, giving us a perfect balance of ideas and viewpoints on how to fix our broken nation," Tobin said.
And that they did.
With candidates on the left and right, there were disagreements over the role of government in society and the direction America should take. Yet if there was one issue it seemed all candidates shared a common passion over, it was their belief that politics should be stripped of big money influence.
"Big money that funnels through the PACs (Political Action Committees) is the greatest hindrance in my opinion to free and open elections and freedom and democracy in this country," said conservative leaning Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party.
It's that very issue that arguably keeps third party candidates off the mainstage in the two-party presidential debate series. Without the big pockets and support of Super PACs, it's difficult for candidates to meet the criteria required by the Commission of Presidential Debates, the governing body of the prime time debate series.
The makeup of the debate
The debate was sponsored by Free and Equal, an organization dedicated to a democratic debate process that does not exclude candidates, but seeks to include the voices of those seeking to serve as commander in chief. That, in the organization's view, is what leads to an open and honest political system.
Funding for the debates, as Tobin described, came from an array of sponsors, including businesses, musicians and individuals. The inclusive nature also lent to an interactive audience, which was encouraged to express emotion during the debate. During the prime time debates, audience members were mandated to take the vow of silence.
The questions were provided by citizens through popular social media platforms and touched on a variety of issues that are of concern to average Americans. Questions ranged from issues related to gun control, the war on drugs and marijuana legalization policies to student loan debt and military spending.
Asked by real American citizens, the nature of such questions bucked the trend seen in the prime time debates, where questions are crafted based on agreements signed between the Republican and Democratic campaigns.
Military spending
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson wasted no time when it came to the issue of military spending, denouncing the amount of money spent by the U.S. military and the promise by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that the trend would continue.
And his view was shared by all candidates at the third party debate. Green Party Jill Stein lent her support to this notion, along with fellow left-leaning Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party. Goode of the Constitution Party was next in line.
Yet only two candidates expressed their concern specifically for the military practice of drone strikes overseas — a controversial move, as the issue has been on the hush in American media.
During the two-party presidential debates, moderator Bob Schieffer questioned Romney on whether he supported drone strikes in Pakistan. Romney responded with outright support for the program, yet neither he nor Obama were asked about the issue of innocent civilian deaths.
While King didn't ask questions related to drone strikes, candidates took the liberty of bringing it up themselves as part of their political platform.
"There's a reason why we shouldn't be using drones — it's because we don't just take out the target, we take out a lot of innocent civilians in the countries where these drones attack," Johnson said during the debate.
Stein was another voice to shed light on the civilian deaths associated with drone strikes. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that drone strikes since 2004 have killed up to 800 people in Pakistan, nearly 200 of whom were children.
Agreeing as outsiders
Most candidates, as outsiders, came to the agreement that the two-party prominent system is guilty of keeping important issues out of the limelight.
The fact that both Obama and Romney agree with one another on a number of issues was cause of concern for candidates, too. It was an issue highlighted by Anderson, who said that the prime time debate series failed to bring about a number of issues that are — or at least should be — important to the U.S.
"They're both trying to outdo each other in terms of who is going to drill more, both offshore and on public lands and neither of them even dares to talk about getting rid of this disastrous failed war on drugs … ," Anderson said, who also went on to mention climate change and extreme poverty rates.
Most candidates, aside from Goode, agreed with the legalization of marijuana. Stein, a doctor, said in her medical opinion, the legalization of marijuana is the way to go. She, along with Johnson and Anderson, wholeheartedly supported the legalization of marijuana and a government-sponsored system of regulation.
Stein, however, made known her belief that, if legalized, the industry should not be allowed to be monopolized, as the tobacco industry has.
In terms of student loans, the four candidates didn't stray too far from their political sides, with Stein and Johnson favoring government involvement in the aid of students, with Johnson and Goode taking more of a fiscally conservative approach.
And while the differences did shine through, the dialogue among third party candidates allowed for those involved to capitalize on areas they agreed on, while also highlighting their differences. Rather than attacking one another, candidates pointed the finger at either Obama or Romney — or, in most cases, both, while highlighting their own platforms in the process.

One thing above all stands out as the goals keep coming, kicked by the same two men, as for an afternoon 20 years ago Paul Salmon and Gary Ablett turned a game of AFL football into a schoolyard lunchtime scratch match. Up one end was the big kid no one could lay a hand on, at the other the one who was simply so good only the bell could stop him.
It's the space - afforded the ball-carrier, and in which these contrasting spearheads were allowed to work. A dozen of their 24 goals were kicked from set shots 25 to 50 metres out, pretty much directly in front. It carbon dates the vision; this assuredly is football from another time.
''Now, you'd try and close it down in the midfield a lot quicker so it doesn't get there, you'd lock down more in the middle,'' says Leigh Tudor, the former Cat and now Sydney assistant who is one of eight players from that May Saturday afternoon on current coaching panels.
''You'd be pushing numbers behind the ball, have mechanisms at stoppages that wouldn't allow it to get out so easily,'' offers Gary O'Donnell, the Bomber turned Brisbane Lions assistant who says the ''tap zones'' would close in, forcing more ball-ups, stemming the flow. ''You'd have to stop the bleeding. Every stop-play seemed to go out quick either way, and it gave the backmen no chance.''
Garry Hocking calls it ''killing the source'', and with 28 possessions that day, the Port Adelaide forwards coach is effectively endorsing hari-kari. He notes the game was still very much one-on-one two decades ago, with six forwards ''staying home'', defenders concerned almost exclusively with the man at their side.
''Throw more numbers up at the stoppages, make two-v-ones, stop the blokes coming through the corridor, plug the holes,'' is Hocking's retro-fitting of a game he describes as ''a bloody shootout''.
Hocking cites the likes of Nick Maxwell and Andrew Mackie and Corey Enright, play-readers adept at leaving their man and helping to quell aerial threats elsewhere. As Ablett's and Salmon's goals mounted, their markers - Chris Daniher, Derek Kickett and James Hird in turn on Ablett, Tim McGrath, Tim Darcy and Stephen O'Reilly on Salmon - were largely left to go it alone.
O'Donnell, who had 28 touches and kicked a crucial late goal, says football then ''wasn't as focused on a team being able to collectively stop a bloke''; modern coaching panels would surely have thrown a half-forward behind the ball to clog Ablett's space. ''But the sort of form he was in, good luck - he'd just jump on the spare's head!''
The former Essendon captain wonders at the choice of Ablett's direct opponents; Hocking is sure he'd go a different way. "You wouldn't waste a player like Hird (on Ablett) — you'd have him up through the middle part of the ground, around the stoppage or at the bounce where you know he'd give you a bit more x-factor."
Steve Alessio, now the Bombers' football operations manager and then the ruckman-forward who kicked a pair of late goals after Salmon hobbled off with a groin injury, was charged with being the fodder that day. Yet such was the speed and precision of Geelong's ball movement the ploy generally missed the bus.
Alessio applies the modern ''team defence'' mantra to the game, wondering how greater attention to keeping the ball in your own forward line, forcing the opposition attack to play high away from the goals, might have altered the storyline. ''Today, if Gary Ablett was getting the ball, you'd want it to be up through the midfield rather than leading out from the square,'' he says. ''And you'd have people flooding back and filling the 50, so he'd have to get around a few more bodies to take those marks.''
Yet even a crowd didn't deter them this day. While his athleticism lifted Ablett onto Hird's shoulder and over a pack for his 13th, when all around him were tiring, strength was the foundation of several others. The great Cat splitting Kickett and Daniher like an axe through wood (see the picture above) is the day's poster image; Salmon was similarly unstoppable, running hard and reaching over outstretched hands to pluck the ball.
Not surprisingly, one element of the game within this game was then as it surely would be now - contentious decisions. Five of their goals (three to Ablett, two for Salmon) came from free kicks fans would pay to hear and watch Jeff Gieschen explain, complete with arm-extension demo.
It's easy to categorise the round six, 1993 clash as a game the fans loved and modern coaches would loathe. For those who pine for football to join society's retro trend, Tudor offers hope. ''The last five years there's been so much focus on defence, but it seems to be turning a little bit this year, coaches are trying to get the attack back into the game. We might see a bit more of it again.''
One other element of this classic remains, although it is folly to think Dustin Fletcher hasn't changed. Essendon's great, lanky warrior was an 18-year-old playing his third game, spent time in the ruck, had only nine possessions, and wasn't in the frame in any of Ablett's highlights.
In pondering how the game might play out now, this offers a compelling option for at least one end of the ground: put Fletcher on him.

That's a very innovative idea...something to think about? Thanks! :)
Printable View
Interested in boots and gloves. Ok, I'm really interested in everything!
Finally some boots that are made in all white, as we all know the real ones started as all white, then were painted,
When will you be selling them
Any chance youl do the gloves in white as well,
(For those who want to build a total movie accurate suit and intend to dye them them selfs)
A white belt an ill go the trifector from you
Awesome work MOW! Everything looks great. I will be waiting patiently for the release dates.
Those boots are incredible looking, great job on that! All the soft parts look outstanding as well :thumbsup
Looks like exactly the right time to start with my ROTJ Boba. I`ll get a pair of these great boots for sure!
Nice work. Might be getting a pair of these boots.
Christian, those boots are awesome an do hope your prepared for the onslaught of orders, me included.
Those boots are beautiful. I was just starting to research where to get a pair...looks like my question is answered!
Man if only I had waited on my boot order...looks ike a new purchase in my future. Those are indeed some beautiful boots
Hey Christian, you already know I love those boots :)
Quick question though.. my shoe size floats between 12.5 and 13. More on the 13 size usually. Will the 12.5s be okay?
Will the ESB gloves have the different size patches on the back of each hand?
Wow Every thing looks very well done there,but i got to get a pair of ESB boots and gloves when they are ready :D
Some have been asking about the new flak vest particularly concerning size? I designed this new flak vest with lots of added room and a fully adjustable mid-section which wraps around towards the back then secured with velcro. Everything is hidden away under your backplate armor. Yes, the collar comes unattached and minimal filler has been used inside the collar and vest to prevent a bulky, disproportionate look. Lots of filler in the shoulders though. :)
That's awesome....on both counts :-)
Christian, how durable do you expect the gloves to be? I seem to blow through the fingers (the non-quilted parts) of the pairs I've had, and they only last a few troops before needing to have the holes stitched up. Are you using the same thin stretchy parade-glove material?
pre-paid for a set of boots!
Holes just magically appear, generally in the fingers. I don't think I'm overly hard on them (no knife juggling or the likes), but I can't go a few troops without a hole appearing!
Hey Guys,
:fettesb Just got word the esb gloves are completed and will be in shop next week. The rotj's will be done in a day or 2 as well. photos coming!

Feds Find Newark Police Engaged in 'Unconstitutional Policing'
A three-year long federal investigation found the Newark Police Department engaged in "a pattern of unconstitutional policing" that included excessive use of force and inadequate accountability, the Justice Department said. In response, the government will appoint a federal monitor.
The investigation was led by New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
Among the report's key findings:
- 75 percent of pedestrian stops documented by the NPD were unconstitutional, violating citizens' First and Fourth Amendment rights. Investigators say its likely many of the illegal stops resulted in unconstitutional arrests.
- Black residents make up 53.9 percent of Newark's population, but accounted for 85 percent of reported stop-and-frisks, and 79.3 percent of NPD arrests.
- More than 20 percent of officers' use of force was found to be excessive.
- A pattern of theft by officers exists in the department's gang and narcotics units, where officers would routinely steal money and other belongings from those they arrest.
The study covers the 2009-2012, when U.S. Sen. Cory Booker was Mayor. In a statement, Booker said that the problems cited are "serious" and "decades-long" and "shared by cities across the country." He said, "When I was mayor, we worked with the ACLU to implement reforms that set a national model for stop-and-frisk transparency [and] emphasized police-community relations."
As mayor, Booker welcomed the DOJ's investigation into the police department's practices, calling it "free consulting," but he was resistant to federal oversight.
Current Mayor Ras Baraka has been a vocal critic of police misconduct for years. He says he's thankful the federal government has uncovered facts about the police department that Newarkers have long suspected.
"One can look at this, 22 days in as the mayor, that the roof is caving in," Baraka said. "But I look at it as an opportunity to build a new roof."
Residents were stopped for "milling in a high crime area" and "loitering in an area where drugs are sold," according to U.S. Attorney Fishman. "That is not reasonable suspicion under the constitution."
Newark resident Angelo Murray, 49, has been stopped by police before. He says he doesn't feel like he can stand on a sidewalk in his city.
"The streets supposed to be for anybody. If you're a taxpayer and if you're black, you're supposed to walk anywhere in the neighborhood," he said. "They need to fire a lot of these police officers."
Current Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy directed Newark's police department during most of the period covered. McCarthy has not yet responded to a request for comment.
The monitor is expected to be appointed by September.

President Obama tied a good chunk of his domestic agenda today to better education in math and science.
Those subjects are the gateways to innovations that can improve the health care system, develop new sources of clean energy, and forge a better economy, Obama said during an event that highlighted various education initiatives.
The goal is "reaffirming and strengthening America's role as the world's engine of scientific discovery and technological innovation," Obama said during a ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. "And that leadership tomorrow depends on how we educate our students today."
Today's program included a student demonstration of the "Cougar Cannon," a machine designed to pick up and toss moon rocks (to where, we don't know). The crowd included astronaut Sally Ride, other science types, and government officials.
Among the ideas is an annual White House science fair, Obama said, with winners to be treated like championship athletes or award-winning entertainers.
"We're going to show young people how cool science can be," Obama said.

A new Coalition row blew up today as the Liberal Democrats claimed they had forced Home Secretary Theresa May to axe her "Go Home" ad vans.
Newly appointed Home Office minister Norman Baker told the Evening Standard that he had "made clear" that the advertising campaign, which told illegal immigrants to "go home or face arrest", was unacceptable and should not be rolled out nationwide.
Lib-Dem sources said Mr Baker's intervention brought about the final demise of a campaign which was tested in six London boroughs.
However, Mrs May's allies said this was "not true" and the real reason the scheme was being dropped was that it had not proved effective enough.
Coalition relations are in a deep freeze as Nick Clegg prepares to attack the Government's free schools policy in a speech on Thursday.
Mrs May is said to have been dismayed by the appointment of Mr Baker, who wrote a book claiming that former UN weapons inspector David Kelly was murdered and the evidence covered up by security officials.
A Lib-Dem source said of the "Go Home" vans: "They may well not have been very effective, but they were stopped because of Norman."
An aide to Mrs May said: "Theresa saw an interim evaluation which didn't convince her of future roll-out. It was absolutely nothing to do with Baker."Reuse content

What hunting Has turned Into
In my opinion hunting has changed into a money maker because of all these un needed things such as expensive guns and other high tech things when all you need is a weapon , calls and camo, throw in a tree stand maybe and you are set. todays hunting is sometimes sickening.
These gadjets (so called needed) may be nice but do we really need them? I think not, the old tried and true methods still work fine, the more basic and back to the old ways give me more satisfaction then all the hi-tech gadgets that you can get. I much prefer to hand kraft most of my things I carry in the bush. I'm lucky every year and have a ball the rest of the year, trying to think up what I can make during the rest of the year when not hunting. Hunting does not need to cost a fortune. just my 2 cents:biggrin:
hunting does not need to cost a fortune and wisconsinhotty what do you need camo, calls and a tree stand for ?rub dirt on your face wear regular work cloths and ground hunt.You use them because they make the hunt more enjoyable,so do all the other "gadgets" dont buy em if dont like em but dont knock em either.Just cuz you hunt a different way than someone else doent make your way the best we all need to stick together in the face of all the antihunting pressure
yeah i find myself looking at hunting and wish it were more like the old days sometimes. but then ill be the first to buy a new gun or some new camo or something like that. i just like that kind of stuff. you are right when you say hunting does not have to cost a fortune. it takes very little money to start if you just want to go get in the woods and shoot a deer. and joel your right us hunters do need to stick together because of all these anti-hunting groups we have running around these days. the hunting that makes me sick is still not considered hunting in my book. and that is those web sites where you buy your deer from the high fence ranch and then book the hunt to go shoot it. thats my one gripe. sorry but i had to spit that one out there. to me thats not considered hunting but killing.
Up until a few years ago I was still shooting the same bow I bought back in 1988 and it worked just fine, untill now.
i totally am for spending extra money on a hobby or lifestyle but i am not all for maxing out credit cards and going totally broke..... and of course we need to stick together because hunting is what it think makes america.
you are absolutly right, where else in the world can you go and leagally own a firearm or go hunting anytime you want?
well there is the middle east where kids are born with AK 47's in there arms...but it isnt hunting for animals if you get my drift
:goodposting: ya got a point
sad but true wisconsin

ENID, Okla. – Northwestern's bullpen shined, holding East Central University to just one run over the remaining six innings of a nine inning game at David Allen Memorial Ballpark in Enid, as the Rangers were victorious 8-6 in the sixth annual "Baseball, Hot Dogs, and Apple Pie."
The Rangers found themselves in a hole during the top of the first inning as an East Central double cleared the bases for a 3-0 Tiger lead. Northwestern pulled within a run in the bottom of the inning as leadoff Juan Natal reached via an error and scored on Kyle Weber's RBI single. J.C. Aguayo reached on a single to the right side and scored on a Chris Russell single.
Northwestern went on top with two runs in the second inning, as Wes Brorsen led the inning off with a single and scored on Natal's triple to deep right center. The Rangers went ahead, 4-3, as Vincent Valdez drove in Natal.
ECU scored two more runs in the top of the third inning to own a 5-4 lead, but the Rangers erupted for four runs in the third. Four different Rangers drove in runs, doing so on two doubles and two singles in the inning.
After three innings of work from starter Garry Thomas, the Rangers used six different pitchers in as many innings. The six relievers held ECU in check, allowing just five hits, one earned run and struck out eight batters.
Thomas (4-3) got the win on the hill, pitching three innings. He struck out one batters in 16 batters faced.
Aguayo led NWOSU offensively with three hits in five at bats. Natal, Valdez and Brorsen all had two-hit games.
Northwestern (23-18, 6-16) will entertain Wayland Baptist University over the weekend with a conference doubleheader on Friday, Apr. 15 and a nine inning game on Saturday. Both days start times are set for 1 p.m. at Myers Stadium.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Attic insulation in between rafters
Hello everyone.
I live about 25 minutes west of Chicago. I wanted to add insulation to my attic. I bought R-30 unfaced insulation. The idea was to lay this over the existing insulation. When I went to start my project, I noticed that there was hardly any cellulose insulation in between the rafters. In some spots I was able to see drywall. Instead of laying the unfaced insulation on top of the rafters, I had to insulate in between the rafters on top of what was left of the cellulose insulation with the unfaced batts. My whole attic was done this way. The job took me about 5 hours and let me tell you, it was the toughest job I've ever done considering I had to lay down to do most of the job. Did I do this correctly? There is a lot of conversation about barriers and when and where I should use them. I'm hoping that what I have done is ok.
Thanks for reading and for all of the info.
Did you leave the soffit vents clear?
Did you air seal any places where wiring, plumbing, ceiling fixtures were before insulating?
May have been better to have returned the fiber glass and done blow in instead.
Hind sight is always 20/20.
Soffit vents were left clear. No air sealing was done. The Fiberglas batts were bought a couple of months ago because of a rebate. After getting into the project, blown in would have been the best idea. To late for that now unless I absolutely have to rip out the stuff I just put in. Thanks for anymore input.
I like to top-off the existing cellulose to the tops of the joists, then run your fiberglass perpendicular to the joists, adding or adjusting your soffit baffles as needed.
If your home has cellulose chances are you may have a poly vapor barrier between your drywall and your joists. If not....well it's too late now.
I'm sure what you did was a hell of a lot better than doing nothing, and I'll bet that your heating bills will prove it.
Thanks for the input. Should I worry about condensation and mold issues?
No, but by not doing the air sealing you only did 1/2 the job and will not get the full fuel savings.
Joe is spot-on. Air sealing is very important; http://www.wag-aic.org/1999/WAG_99_baker.pdf Start in the basement/crawl- air seal the holes, etc. as that is where the incoming air supplies the attic especially when soffit intakes are minimal. There are also convective loops in your attic, robbing you of R-value, they are able to enter your low-density insulation from the attic side; http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/vi...ventilation%22
I would add a layer of cellulose over the batt as this will crust over for stopping wind-washing of the batt. (Or house wrap like Tyvek, after air sealing; http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...wWATQw&cad=rja).
http://www.cellulose.org/HomeOwners/...orBarriers.php More later on vapor barrier per location....
If your location requires AC during the summer, you don't want/need a poly vapor barrier under the attic insulation to stop moisture there; http://www.weather.com/weather/wxcli...graph/USIL0225
You should have a vapor retarder under the cellulose.... if not- a faced (asphalt coated paper) fiberglass batt should be in direct contact with the drywall ceiling; http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...9_8_sec006.htm
Keep in mind, without a vapor retarder, any moisture from below (minimal through vapor diffusion, major through holes/gaps around wiring/plumbing chases and overhead fixtures) will move out through the exhaust vents in/near ridge. To save a lot of work; you could paint the ceilings with a low permeability product to act as a vapor retarder in place of the missing one. Box stores even carry various brands.
The attic ventilation baffles stop thermal bridging (read heat loss) where the insulation touches the roof sheathing, keep a ventilation channel clear for positive venting, also direct the air flow past the fibrous (air permeable) insulation. If low clearance at the rafter/ceiling joist area, stack/glue some rigid foam boards there to maintain at least minimum wall insulation (R-20) for your area over the exterior walls; http://energycode.pnl.gov/EnergyCode...state=Illinois
Thanks for all of the input. I think what I'll do now is add insulation perpendicular to what I already have. Thanks again

SWOT means you should ask yourself: What are your Strengths, Weaknesses, Oppportunities, and Threats?
I held a "networking summit" at a trade show recently and guided my guests through an exercise known in the business world as a "SWOT Analysis." SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The idea is to analyze your business for areas of improvement, to forecast important changes down the horizon, and ultimately, develop a framework for improvement.
Start with a big piece of black paper and just start making a list. Under "strengths," list any attributes, features, and ideas that make your business strong, unique, or special. Under "weaknesses," list things that hold you back from reaching your potential. If your business is not growing, your salon is not always clean, or you haven't raised your prices in years, write all of that down as well.
Now comes the fun part. What are the "opportunities" you see in your business and in yourself? Are there new product systems you could learn and develop a clientele for? Is the trend toward natural systems and lower maintenance nail care an opportunity you can take advantage of? When the list is complete, go through the opportunities list, prioritize those you can quickly take advantage of, and set to work on them.
Now the "threats." What factors threaten your business? Threats come in a variety of guises: an on-the-job injury, another salon opening nearby, customers giving up on professional nail care and doing it themselves (and not buying their supplies from you).
Now you have your list. What's usually evident when you're done is that the list of threats is really a list of opportunities, and the weaknesses simply point out what can quickly become strengths. If unsanitary salons turn off customers to professional nail care, for example, can salons that make a mission of sanitation and safety earn back those customers and rehabilitate the industry's reputation? I think so.
The rest of this exercise is to put the weaknesses in order: starting with the ones that need fixing first. Then devise a plan to fix those weaknesses and give yourself a deadline to do so. Do the same things with the threats.
When you know you own strengths and weaknesses you are better able to focus on the real opportunities and threats, and you'll see how much is within your own control.

Before you read our full, in-depth review of Windows 7, you may want to read the previous articles in our Windows 7 series: Windows 7: What's New? and Windows 7: Performance Analysis.
So we should probably start this review with an apology. We were, initially at least, wrong about Windows Vista. At release it wasn't all it was cracked up to be, proving rather too radical a departure and not an especially reliable one, either. Putting aside some of its more esoteric problems, such as the bizarre file copying issues, Vista was largely tainted by the multitude of compatibility and performance issues users encountered in the early days.
Whose fault this was is arguable. Too many manufacturers failed to properly prepare for the new OS, resulting in late, buggy drivers for popular hardware products - anyone with a Creative soundcard will remember this particular heartache rather well. But naturally Microsoft must shoulder most of the burden for what was a poorly handled launch: could manufacturers reasonably argue Microsoft didn't support them well enough?
Still, irritating as its early problems were, Vista isn't quite the pig it's often made out to be. Yes, in some instances it wasn't and still isn't as fast as Windows XP, but there are plenty of reasons (enough to take too long to list) why it is a superior OS. Teething problems solved - and let's not forget Windows XP was far from perfect on release - it's turned out to be a stable, powerful OS. Good enough that abandoning it isn't the automatic decision it might once have been.
Despite this, though, Windows 7 has benefited greatly from Vista's perceived deficiencies. Be they journalists, analysts, industry figures or consumers, people have been falling over each other to proclaim how much better it is than Vista. Even Microsoft's hilarious Windows 7 House Party marketing hasn't dented its stride. This groundswell of positivity is both encouraging and suspicious. Encouraging because it indicates that Microsoft is probably onto a good thing; suspicious because there's plenty of vested interest in Windows 7 being a success.
Putting aside how bad or not Vista really is, depending on what measurement you go by Windows XP still occupies 60 to 70 per cent market share compared to Vista's miserly 18 to 23 per cent. Thus, after the best part of three years, Windows XP still outnumbers Vista by in the region of 3-to-1. Not good. This is a pretty sad state of affairs and one that isn't good for Microsoft or the rest of the PC industry. Windows 7 really, really needs to be a success.
So, go make a cup of tea, coffee, some toast or whatever takes your fancy and, when you're ready, read on to find out whether it is or not.

Good reviews, I've been using the Beta for several months, and have overall positive opinions of it. Something I've not been able to work out, in the past, with a new install it was beneficial to install Mobo drivers, is this now part of the Win7 package?
All is forgiven TR. Vista actually introduced a lot of these features. I could never get a home network set up with XP, and Vista made that a lot easier. In essence Vista brought us the features of Windows 7, whilst Windows 7 improved the performance.
If there was one feature in this release I couldn't live without now, it would be libraries. A simple networking feature, but for those of us with large external hard drives, priceless.
On the point about it being a no-brainer for XP die hards to upgrade, I don't totally agree.
One of the reasons I keep my home destop and home laptop on XP is that my PC at work is on XP, and it makes my life easy to have the same interface for everything. I know is sounds like a basic point (and kind of makes me sound like a simpleton), but using W7 at home, and XP at work would just give me a headache.
I was running a beta version on an old laptop but I upgraded my main desktop at home to Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) last night. I did a fresh install and it took less than 20 mins!
It took a further 3-4 hours to install my software & copy my data back to the machine but what's 4 hours worth of hassle when I'll be using it for up to 6 or 7 hours a day, every day?
Windows 7 is fantastic. The only issue I had is that it doesn't like my old Netgear print server, nor an old internal media card reader (driver issue). But that's not Microsoft's fault.
It Windows 7 an essential upgrade for home users? Yes, unless you want to stay stuck well and truly back in the dark ages! After using Windows 7, I find myself missing little features when I use Vista on my laptop. I have no idea what I will feel like using Windows XP after using Windows 7, XP is bound to feel quite primitive and 'old hat'.
I think the best new feature is the new task bar. People will say they have just copied Apple, but I'd argue they looked at Apple's idea and made it better! I have no idea why people think copying ideas is such a bad idea, it seems to work well in every other industry!
@ Tim Rice
Really? I've never heard of being confused by an Operating System before.
If we all did things to 'keep it simple', we'd still be living in caves and making grunting noises at each other instead of using language ;-)
I don't think I can justify upgrading my 'home PC' to Windows 7 from XP. I just don't use it enough :( Parallels on OS X aside, I think I'll only be exposed to Windows 7 running natively if I have to buy a new PC *shudder*. Still, I'd be more likely to buy a PC running Windows 7 than I ever would have been running Vista.
@Tim Rice:
I agree it's easier to keep the same OS for home and work. Steve, have you actually TRIED switching between two different versions of Windows on a regular basis? It CAN get confusing, attempting to use functions that aren't there, looking for buttons in different locations, etc.
Having said that, I think the inconvenience is worth it as XP just lacks too many features - but then I'm an enthusiast user and gamer, which certainly doesn't apply to many.
I'm sorry but Vista's issues should have been immediately obvious (as they were to me).
In spite of this TR's gave it 9/10.
Since you were _so_ wrong about Vista, why should I trust your review of Windows 7?
@Steve - "living in caves making grunt noises" {insert appropriate joke}.
I have used ubuntu quite a bit, never a mac. Win 7 much "nicer" to use so far. I have stuck it on my netbook, although I now have to rollback the bios, as the asus eee pc boots into a black screen using the latest firmware. How pants is that ?
Justin case anyone else is upgrading their asus eee pc to win7: http://forum.eeeuser.com/vi...
Sits backs and waits for the fanboi-ism to start.
@ Steve
Thanks for the reply. My point was more about consistency, rather than keeping it simple. As you (or another Steve) point out in an earlier comment, once you get used to a certain set of new features in W7, you don't want to give them up. At the very least, it is likely to be a annoying when you arrive at your work desk each day.
I think there are a lot of low-tech PC users out there (like me perhaps!) who would naturally tend towards OS consistency with their work PC, and also take a phychological lead from the OS they use for long periods during the working day.
I'll save you all some time. Just buy it :-)
I have MSDN subscription and have been using Windows & from the first version. I was stunned the first time I installed it and it found every single driver for me. I had only ever saw this on Linux before. I don't think Vista does this but I could be wrong.
With every build it has got better and better. Since vista came out I have uninstalled it from maybe 20-30 PC's of friends and family putting XP in its place. They don't buy expensive equipment and even with 4 gig mem and dual core I find Vista unusable. Its that spinning circle every time I do something and forget about aero effects unless you have a good graphic card.
I got a new Acer Aspire 150 netbook, usual 1 gig ram and atom proc. Usb install of W7 took 10-15 mins. Then I found that even when writing on word, hovering over the taskbar with a video playing in WMP actually showed the video running. No slowdown, again amazed. Fanboy mode off.
XP fanboy to friend:
"XP is better than 7 because it's SIMPLE!"
Caveman #1 to Caveman #2:
"Square-wheel is better than Round-wheel because it's SIMPLE!"
Good review and im glad you pointed out vista has come a long way since release. I near put my PC through the wall out of frustation when upgrading 2 years ago but the last year its been great. I wouldn't go back to XP. I bought windows 7 for £45 (thanks amazon) and it arrived yesterday. I had a few problems with the RC client which Im hoping have now been fixed. Will do a new install tonight or tomorrow, very much looking forward to it :)
@SB - ASUS latest eee pc BIOS revisions fix the black screen issues - go to the last page of the link you posted and it even says so. Doh !!!!
The points raised above about not wanting to move on from a prior OS is partially why Microsoft et al refrain from releasing the really cool stuff they have in reserves years too early. Of course, incremental upgrades from OS to OS keep the monies rolling in but if they jumped their OS to where the believe it should be at (chances are it has already been developed in some R&D room too) people just wouldnt buy it. It would frighten them off.
Having grown up with computers and particularly Windows I would suggest that people in my shoes are a little more "adaptable" in shifting from one OS to another. Having witnessed my mums attempts at simple Windows tasks I can fully accept why some would be reluctant to shift OS and would prefer to stick to the one they know best and use at work!
Sticking to XP is no bad thing. Comparatively speaking, it took years before the likes of Vince Clarke and Norman Cook ditched their beloved Atari's and ancient gear and it did them no harm at all.
Quick to boot up, easy on system resources, intuitive interfaces, troubleshooters that actually work and correct problems, nice backward compatibility... I could go on and on, but I won't. Well done Microsoft.
"style to boot" well in my eyes it's just the same old CHEAP overdesigened spacetrash look...
@rellik: There's always one who has to twist the knife...
As the review states, Vista really isn't as bad as it's often made out to be. TR weren't the only critics to sing its praises, and I reckon the reason for the acclaim was simple - few of Vista's initial issues were even noticed by many critics. If you had a fast PC with hardware that happened to be well catered for with reliable drivers, Vista worked pretty well from day 1 (silly issues like file copying excepted). The improvements made over XP were plain to see. It was only once vocal users with particular hardware reported their problems that widespread derision broke out, and Vista was almost universally panned.
For the most part, Vista's issues have since been resolved, so perhaps TR's review was more forward-looking than most. I was hoping they'd buck the trend and defend their opinion of Vista. Oh well...
@ Ardjuna
"Steve, have you actually TRIED switching between two different versions of Windows on a regular basis?"
All the time. XP at work, Vista Business on my Vaio Z, Win7 now on my desktop (and on the Vaio X I ordered), plus I have a MacBook for good measure.
Do I find it confusing? No :-)
One real let down is no system wide spelling checker as found in Mac OS X. Seems a very poor omission? Microsoft are still playing catch up when they should be leading. I switched to Mac at home for all my family 3 years ago now and having looked at Windows 7 it would not tempt me back. Nothing too wrong with Windows 7 just not as nice and integrated as the Apple experience!
Maybe I'm not a power user who spends a lot of time digging around in the innards of my OS, but I really don't have any problems switching between XP at work and Vista at home - I even use a mac as well to complete the hat-trick.
Will definitely be loading 7 when amazon sends me my copy.
Fiar enough.
Are you sure you shouldn't get a netbook with Linux on it, just to complete your OS collection? ;)
Personally it's little things like wanting to partition a drive on a new XP PC (yes, they're still being sold {http://www.trustedreviews.c...}) and then remembering I need to install third-party software, but I realize a lot of these are issues most people won't come across. Then again, everyone's different with varying capacities for befuddlement.
Out of interest, which OS do you prefer out of the ones you use?
@Steve: SuperSteve more like!
@Mike B: I can spell...
That's my point. Vista was released to unanomous praise across the board. Not one major reviewer gave it a negative review. Now we're hearing exactly the same thing about Windows 7. After putting up with Vista for over a year I switched back to XP. I've been using Windows 7 since it was released to MSDN and while it is better than Vista (little things have been returned, like giving you feedback when defragging), it's still not good enough.
