A Short Introduction: Emily Barnes
If you've ever been passed in a race by someone half your age (it happens to all of us), you've probably felt the pain and embarrassment when instead of just pummeling you as she rides off into the distance, she turns and cheers you on. This is that girl. One of the nicest, talented young riders around, Emily Barnes comes from one of the UK's most gifted families in cycling and is making a name for herself on the road, the track and muddy fields around the country. Here's a very short introduction.
Full name and age?
Emily Grace Barnes, 16.
Home town?
Lingfield, England.
Racing/riding highlights so far?
Winning the Road (2009) and Cyclocross Nationals (2011).
What is your normal daily training schedule this time of year?
In the winter, usually I get home from school and if it's dry - road ride with my awesome Exposure lights, or if it's foggy, turbo.
What motivates you to get up and on the bike every day?
It's a great release from the stress of school and there are so many people backing me who inspire me to do well.
Favourite book?
It's got to be Artistic Licence by Katie Forde - I couldn't put it down.
Post-ride rituals?
Shower, Food, Stretch, Sofa.
What's playing on your iPod right now?
Dance With Me Tonight, Olly Murs.
Who do you consider to be your biggest role model?
Mark Cavendish, the determination he has, even though he was told he wouldn't make it at the age he was; he dug deep and has had some great achievements!
Worst advice you've ever received about cycling?
Off-road: "Speed is your friend." Sometimes it's not. It hurts at the time, and even worse when you hit the deck.
Best advice you've ever received?
"Look where you want to go. Not where you are going". Words to live by.
Favourite cake - and where do you get it?
Carrot Cake, from the cafe on the Blackpool North Prom, one portion of this is enough to keep me going for a week and it's only £2.50!
Biggest fear?
The dark.
What bikes do you ride?
Condor Terra X (cyclocross) USE wheels, Specialized Tubs; Condor Track frame; Giant TCR Advance (road).
Last thing you spent money on?
A huge hot chocolate and cookie after my exam to make me smile again! (It was a horrible exam and horrible weather too).
Favourite piece of Rapha kit?
Hmm that's tough, it's a close call between my Women's Softshell jacket, or the Women's 3/4 length bibs! They are SO good, you even notice they are better than the rest of the awesome Rapha stuff.
Best place to ride in the mud?
Yorkshire! Todmorden, Bradford, wherever you go there you'll find mud, rain or shine.
What would you be doing if your weren't riding your bike?
Washing it? Only joking, probably with my friends having a good chat.
What do you want to do when you leave school?
Go to University to study Geography and Economics (hopefully) and ride my bike!
We'll be following Emily in 2012, riding with the newly-formed Corvida Allpress women's road team.
And this weekend Rapha celebrate women's cycling with a 50% three-day sale, stories from female riders and a look at new season designs.

This question is more out of curiosity than anything else. Even though I've known about paleo for two years now and eat that way around 80% of the time, I don't think I've ever gone more than a few weeks without some neolithic foods slipping in (a bite of sorbet, some sushi, even a piece of wedding cake, GASP).
Then again, it also depends on how you define a "slip-up." For me, it would be dairy, gluten, industrial oils, and sugar. If I'm trying to lean out (and most of the time I am, since I'm still a little heavier than I want to be), I consider starchy veggies, fruits, and nuts as slip-ups as well.
So I guess the question is this:
A) How do you define your own version of "strictly paleo"?
B) How long have you managed to eat this way without slipping up?
C) Did you notice a difference in how you felt, as compared to periods of time when the occasional neolithic indulgence weaseled its way into your diet?
I'm curious as to whether my experience is normal, or if most of you are very stringent.

Jets Select Sheldon Richardson With 13th Overall Pick
With the 13th overall pick on the 2013 draft, the Jets selected defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson from Missouri.
The addition of Richardson will raise a lot of questions about how the Jets plan to utilize their defensive front this season. How will last year's first round pick Quinton Coples, 2011 first rounder Muhammed Wilkerson and 2011 second rounder Kenrick Ellis all fit in together? The Richardson pick is as sure a sign as any that the Jets plan to run a 4-3 defensive front.
According to various sources, the Jets did try to trade out of this pick, but were unable to find a partner. Meanwhile, Idzik told the media the team "stuck to their board.
"We selected two of our Top four players on our board," Idzik said. "Period."
Okay then.
(This guy hated the pick).

We use it in our kitchen for extra storage and are very happy with it. Instructions were easy to follow and was from box to kitchen in less than 2 hours.

This cart is really nice looking. It went together very easily. It's not very deep though; I can't fit many of my utensils in the drawers.
great product

This is a must-have item if you are like me and have limited counter-top space. Although it came in a million pieces, my father was able to put it together for me quite easily. It blends in perfectly with my white cabinets and black granite counter tops. It's sturdy and is wonderful for food preparation or just extra storage. Cymax offered a great price for this as I've seen it $200 more elsewhere! Great buy!
Great Product!!!

About Me High-end Shopper
Wonderful addition to my kitchen. Needed a small island after we had built our home. I am handicapped and had decided not to add an island originally, but found this product to be perfect. It matches my kitchen, it gives me additional countertop, storage space and it's mobile. I purchased it because it was narrow and it fit in my kitchen without any obstruction. I have all of my baking items in the new addition. It is located between my fridge and sink, allowing me to have a resting place for items. I also use it to get plates ready for meals. Great staging place and great for a baking center. It is very sturdy, solid wood on three sides. Would have been nice to have the 4th side wood as well, but you cannot tell by looking at it. The black granite top is gorgeous and matches my kitchen. It is wonderfully easy to keep clean. I would buy this item again. [...] Thanks for my new addition.
from Boerne, Texas
This is a wonderful addditon to my new kitchen. My kitchen is in white with black granite counters. This looks like it was made for my area. My husband put it together and was amazed that the door slides were already installed. It is a very sturdy piece with 3 sides in solid wood and very nice detail. I would have liked the back side to be solid wood as well instead of melamine, but with the wood border added you cannot tell. Just worried about possibly putting a hole in the back side. But, all in all it is really lovely. The granite is gorgeous, the finish is lovely, and the drawers, although a tad shallow hold many of my specialty cooking tools. the two cupboards hold most of my baking dishes..So pleased that we made the purchase, after exhaustive research.

We were very pleased with the quality and looks of this island. The drawer space is inadequate for most of our larger utensils, but we put small items in the drawers. We really like the granite top! [...].

Criminal by Scarlet Ibis Freak on a Leash Thanks to DoS for betaing :D "Criminal/Freak on a Leash" Let me know the way Before there's hell to pay. Give me room to lay The law and let me go. I've got to make a play To make my lover stay. So what would an angel say? The devil wants to know... *** Something takes a part of me. Something lost and never seen. Everytime I start to believe, Something's raped and taken from me... from me... Something takes a part of me. You and I were meant to be. A cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me. Feeling like a freak on a leash. Feeling like I have no release. How many times have I felt diseased? Nothing in my life is free... is free. *** He had to make her see. She loved him. He had felt it before. He had seen it in her eyes. The last time they had been together, she had been so tender, so loving. The way she had looked at him... She could feel it again; he knew that she could. She had to feel it. He wasn't alone in this. He couldn't be. Not now. She loves me. She felt it before. She loves me. She loved me. She'll love me... He knew that if he could just And then, his body was kicked across the room, and he crashed into the shelves on the wall, the trembling pain in her voice dragging him back to the harsh horror of reality. "Ask me again why I could never love you!" Buffy shouted at him, tears running down her cheeks. Spike just stared at her, confusion all over his face. "My god, Buffy. I didn't--" "Because I stopped you!" she cut in. "Something I should have done a long time ago," she added, clutching her robe to her defensivley. She stared him down with righteous indignation, as he leaned against the wall, looking down at the floor. "Because you stopped...how was I supposed to have " Spike's voice broke, his face crumpling in pain as he looked at her. "How was I to know, Buffy?" "No, I should have known not to expect anything from you. You aren't a man--just a soulless thing, Buffy snapped in a voice of fierce disgust. But know what you aren't? Blind, or deaf. I was hurt, Spike. I told you no! "I've been hurt too, damn it! And I've said no," Spike exclaimed passionately, staring her down. "You hurt me, and now I've hurt you. Round and round we bloody go, pet. You've almost always told me to stop...and there've been times when I've said no, and you just kept..." Buffy's mouth parted slightly, and she slowly sank down onto the cold, tiled floor, her strength leaving her with the impact of his words. She leaned against the tub as realization dawned on her, looking up at him. "We both know that deep down we didn't mean it. Couldn't resist, like an addiction. Only this time, you did. But how was I to know that? Tell me. Please." Spike's voice softened to a whisper, desperate for her to understand, desperate for her to explain. She didn't. She couldn't. Spike sighed, looking away from her briefly. "We were both right, you know. Great love does burn and consume until there's nothing left. And damn it, there's nothing left of me. I don't even know who I am anymore, Buffy. Or why I feel the way I...why I feel anything. But I do. All I ever do..." He scoffed derisively, a bitter smile on his lips. "I'm a soulless demon, sure. But this," he paused, slapping his left hand over his unbeating heart, "doesn't seem to care." Clenching his fists, he dropped his head again, unable to hold her gaze. He walked the length of the bathroom, silent, heading for the door. He grabbed the doorknob and paused, leaning his forehead against the door, a choked sob escaping his lips. "When I love someone, it's typical for it to be painful for me. I was used to it hurting. But I never thought that...never even dreamed that my love would ever hurt you. That's the last thing that I wanted." He sighed, not sure if she was even listening, but he ploughed on anyway. "I only wanted to help. I only wanted you to be happy. To acknowledge my feelings. I wanted you to love me back. But you can't. I don't deserve it. I'm nothing," he admitted quietly. And suddenly, it was all too much--it felt as if his heart was being crushed. The pain--he needed it to stop. It hurt now more than ever. Tightening his grip, he turned the knob and opened the door slowly, silently begging his tears to recede. He stepped into the hallway, closing the door behind him. Once he heard it click, he heard her muffled voice through the door. "I'm sorry, Spike." He clenched his jaw at that. He was hurting, but he also felt angry -- angry at the fact that she got to him so much. Angry that he felt guilt at all, and saddened by the fact of what had almost occurred, and guilty again for feeling that anger in the first place. He was confused; he was a demon, yet he loved so strongly and so deeply that it brought him crashing to his knees. Literally. He bit his lower lip, digging his fingers into his thighs as he sat there on the carpeted hallway floor. He looked up and saw the smiling face of Buffy looking happily down at him, an image from a long ago time, back when her hair was long and her eyes still shone with fire and life. The pain intensified as he realized how dated the photo was. He hadn't seen her that happy since...since before Joyce had died. He jerked his eyes away from the photo, feeling that it was a mockery of what he thought he had had with her for one hundred and forty seven days. Before white bread came back to town, of course, and ruined everything. Funny how the number of days we spent together was the exact same number of days she was gone. Spike shook his head and took a few deep, calming breaths. He roughly wiped the tears from his eyes, and lifted his knees up, pressing the balls of his feet into the floor as he stood up in one, fluid motion. Pushing all thoughts from his mind, he rushed down the stairs and fled the Summers' home, refusing to look back. A/N: From "Afterlife" to "As You Were," I counted out the airdates, added them up...and the number of days that Spike and Buffy spent as friends and lovers shocked me. Oh yeah, and this was partially inspired (like after the fact, cause it was too perfect and I didn't have a title, and I'm a cheater, cause I couldn't choose just one title) by Fiona Apple ("Criminal") and Korn ("Freak on a Leash"- the unplugged version with Amy Lee) respectively.

theory 'theda' sweater, strummer leather dress (similar here and here), alexander wang 'liya' pumps
i was seriously overjoyed when i picked up this strummer leather dress at a consignment store in perth, i've seen a lot of leather dresses out there but none have ever had the slighly loose, a-line fit i was looking for. i knew the moment i took it off the rack that it was coming home with me. it's a lot less risque with a sweater thrown on top; it's funny how something can go from preppy to borderline slutty so easily. i took the theory knit off for the last couple of shots and like the careless slob i am, threw it off to the side only to have it nearly run over by a passing car. i swear, i usually baby my clothes to the point where it's weird.

5 Companies That Could Use A Super Bowl Ad
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- The Super Bowl commercial lineup is set, but some companies may need those big game ads far more desperately than the current field of big spenders.
Super Bowl XLVII broadcaster CBS (CBS) has just about sold out its inventory of commercial time for $3.7 million to $3.8 million per 30-second spot. Perennial NFL sponsors such as Pepsi (PEP), General Motors (GM) and Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) are buying up huge blocks and mainstays such as GoDaddy and Coca-Cola (KO) keep coming back for more.
The space for newcomers is shrinking, however, as commercials get longer and prices rise. The amount of Super Bowl commercial time has decreased from 83 ads at 40 minutes, 35 seconds, in 2003 to 78 ads at 47 minutes, 25 seconds, last year after peaking at 104 spots at 47 minutes, 50 seconds, in 2010, according to Kantar Media. Last year's commercial space also featured 15 ads of 60 seconds or more, which took up about 20% of all ad time and raised stakes on companies looking for a bit of the spotlight. Still, first-timers willing to take that expensive plunge has soared from four companies and 14% of Super Bowl commercial buyers in 2011 to 10 that made up 30% of big game ad sales last year.
Super Bowl newcomers have had surprisingly deep pockets in recent years, with only 15% of Super Bowl ad buyers during the past dedicating more than 10% of their annual advertising budget to spots aired during the game. The 30% of advertisers that wagered a big chunk of their media budget on Super Bowl commercials in 2010 and 2011 took a huge leap, but made it count.
Gildan Activewear (GIL), Oreo Cookies (MDLZ), Paramount Farms and Soda Stream International are among the new arrivals to this year's Super Bowl party, but they should have far more company. We took a look around the marketplace and found five companies that could use a Super Bowl-sized boost in business:Select the service that is right for you!

D-pad - Black XBOX Dpad - Controller Mod
Looking to replace that worn or ugly XBOX Dpad or just want to spice up that Xbox controller with Black? Our Black XBOX Dpad is a direct replacement XBOX 360 DPad.
Our Black XBOX Dpad is the highest quality replacement XBOX D-Pad for the XBOX 360 controller available and we are the manufacturer! We manufacture this Black XBOX Dpad with durable ABS plastic and are injection molded in Black. Unlike others on the market, this means the Black color will never fade or wear, ever!
Accompany this controller mod with other Black parts or mix it up! You can even use our Create a Controller software to see how this Black XBOX Dpad will look or design an entire controller using a Black XBOX Dpad or any other of our parts. Since we have the largest selection of custom XBOX controller parts on the market, you can design your perfect controller mod!
- How easy is my XBOX D-Pad controller mod to install?
- All GamerModz controller mod parts are simple to install, they are manufactured to OEM specifications to ensure a guaranteed fit every time.
- Do I need special tools to install the controller mod XBOX D-Pad?
- Yes, you will need the Torx T8 security screwdriver. GamerModz manufactures and sells the Torx T8 security screwdriver for all your controller mods. Available here. Also, feel free to contact the GamerModz support team and they will be more than happy to help.
- Are there installation instructions for the controller mod XBOX D-Pad?
- The GamerModz engineers are currently working on updated PDF and video instruction tutorials. In the meantime please refer to this "how-to" video tutorial.
- Are the D-Pad controller mod parts painted?
- Unlike many of our competitors, GamerModz never paints any of our controller mod parts. We manufacture our controller mod parts with the latest color injection mold technology, giving you the guaranteed fitment and OEM durability. * Please note chrome series controller parts are electrically plated. The electric plating creates a strong adhesion to the base plastic.
- Which XBOX 360 controllers will the D-Pad controller mods fit?
- Our parts will fit standard Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless controllers. We cannot guarantee fitment with aftermarket XBOX 360 controllers or shells purchased from somewhere else. If you are using a special edition Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless controller that has the transforming DPAD, the only part we manufacture that does NOT fit, is the DPAD.
- How long does my controller mod XBOX D-Pad take to ship?
- All in-stock items on "parts" only orders ship next business day as long as it's not a holiday that USPS recognizes. It is very rare that we are out of stock on parts and if we are, the item should be listed as "out-of-stock" on the website. Very rarely the inventory in the warehouse and the website may not be exactly matched but in that rare event, you will receive an email informing you of the out of stock item with an ETA.
- How long until I receive my controller mod XBOX D-Pad?
- Once it leaves our warehouse with the postal carrier you chose at checkout, the time it takes for delivery is in control of the shipping provider. Depending on your distance from Tampa, FL, weekends, holidays observed by the carrier, weather conditions, etc would determine transit time. To get an estimate, UPS, FedEx, and USPS have transit time calculators to give you an estimate.
- What is the quality and durability of my GamerModz D-Pad controller mods?
- GamerModz controller mod parts are manufactured with ABS plastic and injection molded with the color. This means that the color is throughout the part and will not fade or wear, guaranteed! *Please note, chrome series controller parts are electrically plated. The electric plating creates a strong adhesion to the base plastic.
- Are these Microsoft OEM parts?
- GamerModz does NOT manufacture or distribute Microsoft OEM parts unless otherwise stated in the description. GamerModz controller mod parts are aftermarket parts we manufacture to OEM specifications providing factory fitment or better.
- Does GamerModz guarantee their products and controller mod parts?
- All GamerModz controller mod parts come with a 7-Day money back guarantee and a 30 day replacement warranty against manufacturing defects. Neither warranty covers shipping and handling. The warranty starts the day the item was delivered. All the controller mod parts or part kits are NOT returnable for refund if they have been installed.

ALBANY, Ga.— A report from a national philanthropy journal ranks Albany as the most generous community in Georgia when it comes to charitable giving.
The Albany Herald reports (http://bit.ly/Wo4r8q) that only seven communities in the U.S. gave more than Albany's median 8.4 percent of discretionary income.
The special report, "How America Gives," ranked the Macon metro area second in percentage of discretionary income given to charities, with 7.7 percent.
"Like most nonprofits, we'd like to be doing better, but most folks who are able to give are giving. We depend on the community for help and we're grateful they're coming through for us," said Bob Hutchinson, director of operations for the Albany Boys and Girls Clubs.
Hutchinson said there is apprehension regarding the looming "fiscal cliff" crisis in Washington, which has nonprofits awaiting inevitable cuts and the effects that would follow sequestration.
"Things will probably get worse before they get better," Hutchinson said, "but individual giving is still pretty good."
The report showed the region of southern states outranking the three other U.S. regions with 5.2 percent of discretionary income donated.
By comparison, the Northeast, Midwest and West gave 4 to 4.5 percent. However, when religious giving is taken from the picture, Southerners drop to the bottom with 0.9 percent versus the best showing of 1.4 percent in the Northeast.

COMPUTER MIMICS WEATHER — How and why the world's weather behaves as it does is being attacked by one of the most powerful computers yet built. The U.S. Weather Bureau in Washington, D.C., dedicated a new research laboratory aimed at gaining better understanding of the earth's atmosphere. Mathematical models of the atmosphere up to 20 miles above the surface are tested in the new laboratory on an International Business Machines' STRETCH computer…. The electronic "brain" is expected to simulate day-to-day changes at 10,000 points around the world, analyzing surface weather patterns plus those at nine levels above the surface. Some ten billion computations will be required to model these weather changes during a 24-hour period.

Janet Napolitano is the third Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and is leading our nation's collective efforts to secure our country from the threats we face - from terrorism to natural disasters.
To counter the threat of terrorism, Napolitano has forged new partnerships with international allies, and expanded information sharing with federal, state and local law enforcement - building a collaborative effort to detect and disrupt threats early on.
She has initiated a new, more strategic course to strengthen security along our southwest border, deploying additional personnel and advanced technology, while working closely with Mexico to combat violent international drug cartels - resulting in increased seizures of illegal contraband along the border and throughout our country's interior.
Napolitano also has forged a smart and effective approach to enforcing our immigration laws and prioritizing public safety while targeting criminal aliens and aggressively pursuing employers that knowingly take advantage of illegal labor.
She has strengthened the nation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters by cutting through red tape and expediting decision-making along the Gulf Coast, providing new resources to build resilient communities and bolster their response capabilities, and calling on all Americans to play a role in the shared responsibility of making our homeland secure.
In each of these areas - counterterrorism; border security; immigration enforcement; and disaster preparedness, response and recovery - Napolitano is building upon the skills and resources of this young department by deploying the best that science and technology have to offer; reinvigorating partnerships with state, local and tribal governments and the private sector - our nation's first detectors and first responders; and implementing a bold Efficiency Review that is making the Department a leaner, smarter agency better equipped to protect the nation.
Prior to becoming Secretary, Napolitano was in her second term as Governor of Arizona and was recognized as a national leader on homeland security, border security and immigration. She was the first woman to chair the National Governors Association and was named one of the top five governors in the country by Time Magazine. Napolitano was also the first female Attorney General of Arizona and served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona.
Napolitano was born in New York City and grew up in Pittsburgh, Penn., and Albuquerque, N.M. She graduated from Santa Clara University, where she won a Truman Scholarship and was the university's first female valedictorian, and received her Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law. Before entering public office, Napolitano served as a clerk for Judge Mary M. Schroeder on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and practiced law in Phoenix at the firm of Lewis and Roca.

Senator Chuck Grassley had some tough words for the Washington Post and other critics of crop insurance this week - as Majority Leader Harry Reid re-introduced last year's Senate-passed farm bill.
Reid committed to completing the farm bill this year as one of several privileged top priority bills - though the real decision may again not be up to him - but House GOP leaders who blocked a House-version last year. Whatever happens - crop insurance is again a target of critics like the Washington Post, New York Times and others who think its price tag's too big - though a Kansas State University expert says program losses to drought last year will be much lower than estimates. Grassley says…

My name's Paul Statezny and I'm co-founder and audio / design lead of Diamond Shadow Games. We're an independent game development team and we just began development of our new project, Armored Eclipse, a few months ago.
Armored Eclipse is a *free* full 3d action game that places you in an Earth 250 years into the future where aerial and space weaponry have been destroyed to avoid all possibility of global nuclear warfare. When Earth begins losing the ability to support such a large humankind, the three major factions go to war with the best combat technology they have to offer—high tech battle tanks.
Armored Eclipse is primarily aimed toward multiplay, but there's also a single player campaign for each of the factions that will be released after the multiplay-only version is finished. Gameplay features mid-battle customizable tanks, bases, and a plethora of weapons to choose from.
We came to the conclusion that this project was large enough to be worthy of a full-scale game engine, so we're already deep into development of that. All coding for the engine and game are in C++ and DirectX.
By releasing a free game with addicting gameplay and as close to modern graphics as we can get (from artists on a volunteer basis), we plan on gaining hundreds upon hundreds if not thousands and thousands of committed fans. They'll dedicate servers to hosting games, use our free map creation utility to take gameplay into their own hands, and just have an all-around blast facing off against international opponents!
Though we're a group of dedicated workers, the workload does need to be distributed. The design document, storyline, and concept art for Armored Eclipse are viewable at our web site. We've decided to scout around and try to find some extra help. If you fit in any of the areas below, please contact us using this contact form. Thanks!
Programmers are very much needed in order to shorten the length of time it takes to develop Armored Eclipse. We'll assign entire modules of the engine or game code to assisting coders, so they'll need to have extensive knowledge of at least certain aspects of game programming. Qualifications include:
- Minimum 3 years experience with C++
- Minimum 2 years experience with DirectX 8.0+
- Ability to work together with teammates flexibly
- Ability to devote 7+ hours per week to the project (more is preferred)
- Experience finishing at least 1 game using DirectX
- A Positive Attitude!
There is an extensive list of in-game models that will need to be created, ranging from tanks and weaponry to structures and natural/organic objects. Modellers need to be able skilled at low-polygon model creation. Qualifications include:
- Experience working in a major modeller (including but not limited to 3ds Max, Maya, Truespace, and Lightwave)
- Portfolio / collection of previous work
- Previous models have been used in a game or mod
- Ability to regularly output models without long periods of down-time
- Ability to model based on concept art
- Ability to alter models based on criticism
- A Positive Attitude!
Models will need detailed textures in order to create the illusion of a detailed mesh. Artists will also be creating the game interface based on detailed descriptions. Qualifications include:
- Portfolio / collection of previous work
- Either Experience with creating graphical interfaces or experience with texturing 3d meshes
- Ability to work on a schedule
- A Positive Attitude!

Diamond Shadow Co-Founder

I looked at this chest for over 3 months. Matco, Snap-on and MAC were also looked at. For the money, I figured I would give it a try. I am very impressed. I mounted a 1" MDF work surface off of an old work bench on top and put a 5" vise on it. The chest is so sturdy it is amazing. There are two things that bother me. One is I cannot find a serial number on it anywhere for insurance purposes. Second is I do not know where it is built or by who. It does not look like any other tool box out there, especially the lock mechanism. There are no stamps to be found anywhere either. It comes with a 5 year warranty, not lifetime. But I think if my other boxes that were mid-level Craftsman from the All American made days are over 15 years old and still work, this one should do just fine. My next purchase will be the 36" top and bottom.

I had a difficult time justifying the expense of the top and bottom chests, but I finally decided to pull the trigger and spend the money. Wow was it worth it. This thing is literally built like a tank. It has such a solid feel when closing the drawers and the drawers are massive they are very deep and hold tons of tools. Also the packaging was awesome, both top and bottom were on wooden pallets with tons of foam and they were fully assembled. not a single scratch or dent on mine.

Extract from Maglia Rosa by Herbie Sykes, available here »
Many would have us believe that everyone deserves a second chance, and of course in principal they are quite correct. However, in giving them that second chance, the people responsible for the wellbeing of the professional sport in Italy play Russian Roulette with the livelihoods of those employed within it, and close to it. The likelihood is that the majority of cyclists are now competing without recourse to doping products. If this is the case then they, and the hundreds employed behind the scenes, their sponsors and those building the bikes on which they ride, deserve better than the Giro's current largesse. Modern doping techniques are not only deeply injurious to the credibility of the sport but, much more importantly, to the cyclists themselves. That Italian riders, those operating within an expensively sponsored team structure at the top end of the sport here, continue to be caught cheating whilst racing abroad is the most damning of all the sport's truths. The Giro, the great standard bearer, is well beyond the point at which it can afford to keep handing out second chances; what it needs, and what the public demands, is that it starts making examples. The future wellbeing of the sport here depends on it.
Many argue, with no little reason, that doping is as old as the sport itself. Some would still have us believe that cyclists at the highest level are compelled, presumably by some indelible genetic imprint, to dope. Whilst there is truth in the argument that 100 years of doping culture can not be overturned in a relative instant, this in itself renders the responsibility to act decisively all the more compelling, all the more immediate. Elsewhere, most notably in France, huge progress has been made, and the systemised 'vertical' doping of the recent past is apparently no more, which can only be a good thing. In northern Europe and America new teams are emerging with openly anti-doping policies and cultures. To many of the young riders I meet, particularly British and American, doping is simply a non-issue because they've never been exposed to it. Though globally cycling is doubtless a much cleaner sport than ever it was in the past, the Italian peloton, and the Giro itself, has done nothing of any great substance in the fight against doping. CONI, the Italian Olympic Committee, is stringent in its application of the WADA code, but the Giro seems intent on leaving a side door ajar for most anybody to sneak through. Sad to say, but whilst all around it bike racing is being regenerated and renewed, Italy's great showcase simply blows hot air.

All you need for this game is a pack of cards. While you play the game, think about strategies that will increase your chances of winning.
Can you beat Piggy in this simple dice game? Can you figure out Piggy's strategy, and is there a better one?
Erik can only choose dominoes which have an odd number of spots in total. Sanjay chooses the dominoes which have an even number of spots.
Now they change the rules. They lay out the dominoes again.
Erik can only choose dominoes where the total number of dots is a multiple of $3$. Sanjay chooses the dominoes where the total number of dots is not a multiple of $3$. Who is able to pick up the most dominoes now? Is this fair? Explain your answer.

The first thing to do is to try to situate the study table in the Northeast corner of the study, or the student's bedroom. Now, before you can activate education and study luck for the student, you should know that the element of the northeast is earth.
Thus, the best way of energizing excellent study luck for the students in your family is to display earth-element objects like crystals and pottery or anything that symbolizes earth in the northeast corner of their rooms. This would effectively raise the chi in that area to benefit their studies. to energize the northeast corner, just use anything that symbolizes earth. Things that symbolize fire may also be used, as in the productive cycle of elements, fire produces earth.
There are quite a number of good fortune symbols you can place on the study desk. Choose one that appeals to you the most and use that. Don't use all the objects suggested here as you may overdo it and the effect would be counterproductive rather than beneficial. It is often said that with the practice of feng shui, 'less is more'.
The Citrine crystal tree is another object that can be used to energize luck in academic matters. Although it's commonly known as the "merchant's stone", the citrine also enhances education, business and interpersonal relationships. These pale yellow stones are excellent for fostering emotional stability, especially when you embark on a new venture. In addition to the qualities of the citrine, the tree shape in which it is presented represents growth, making the crystal tree a powerful attractor of study luck!
Look out for the next article in this education section, where I'll tell you what other symbolic objects you can use for great grades ahead!

A Summary of Challenges Facing Legal Responses to Human Trafficking for Labour Exploitation in the OSCE Region
Apr 29 2010
Download right click "save as"
This paper provides a short explanation of the issue of trafficking for labour exploitation followed by an examination of a small sample of the legal challenges faced by OSCE participating States in implementing their political commitments and legal obligations to end trafficking for labour exploitation. It highlights some of the technical or legal steps which need to be taken to ensure effective prosecution of perpetrators but also makes clear that, without effective and comprehensive protection of potential and actual victims, prosecution efforts will have limited impact.

For one night, it was great! The toilet and sinks were very low and hard to use for someone older and there was very little room to spread out your toiletries.

We were visiting family in the area and needed a simple place to sleep and get a hot shower. This hotel provided both well. The beds were surprisingly excellent for the rate paid (very firm beds). Also the shower curtain was one of those ones that curve outwards.

This hotel was really just a pitstop on our way to Florida, but we arrived around 11pm and the front desk clerk was outside the front door with a friend- not an employee of the hotel, smoking.

While I didnt expect much […] for the price, the room minimally cleaned and the couch... well, the couch had some questionable spots on it.

The […] night guy was clear that we needed to be out by noon and we were careful to adhere to that. At 11:15 the next day (while I was in the shower), the woman at the desk called my mother and told her we MUST be out by 11:30... and she was not nice about it. When I confronted her (with wet hair), she did apologize. Moral of the story: If you need a late check out, make sure they WRITE IT DOWN! Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

Our pets are on a flea prevention […] program but I still worry about them picking up fleas in hotels but this one was very clean and no bugs of any kind. We could even walk on the carpet with our socks and they didn't get dirty.

Adopt a Gorilla or Golden Lion Tamarin.
Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History.
Lemurs like all, primates have binocular vision and grasping hands. However, unlike most other primates, lemurs and other prosimians have a rhinarium, a moist, very sensitive nose.
With the exception of the indri, lemurs have long furry tails. They use these tails for balance when leaping through the forest canopy, but unlike some New World monkeys, these tails are not prehensile, and lemurs cannot hang from them.
Once on Madagascar, the lemurs underwent an amazing radiation, evolving into many different species. Then, about 2,000 years ago, the first human settlers arrived on Madagascar from the Malaysian-Indonesian area. By the time the Europeans who wrote about the natural history of the island reached Madagascar in the mid-1600s, 15 species of lemurs, forming eight entire genera, had become extinct.
All of these 15 fossil lemur species were larger than any of the surviving species. The largest of these was Archaeoindris, which is estimated to have weighed 350 to 440 pounds (160 to 200 kg), or as much as an adult male gorilla. Another group, the "sloth lemurs" including Babakotia and Paleopropithecus, weighed 44 and 88 pounds, (20 and 40 kg) respectively, and appear to have traveled by hanging upside down from branches like current South American sloths. Another unusual extinct lemur, Megaladapis, 88 to 175 pounds, (40 to 80 kg), appears to have hung onto trees much like an Australian koala. The loss forever of these bizarre and wonderful animals in the recent past is unfortunate. As you know these species will not be the last to disappear unless we all act quickly to preserve the remaining species.
Lemurs are much less closely related to humans than are monkeys and apes. Living lemurs more closely resemble primitive primates that lived millions or tens of millions of years ago than do living monkeys. For this reason, the study of living lemurs can provide unique and highly valuable insight into primate evolution, including the evolution of human ancestors.
Cheirogaleidae—Mouse and dwarf lemurs. This family boasts the smallest of all primates, the gray or lesser mouse lemur. These lemurs are nocturnal. They are solitary foragers but sleep in small groups.
Lemuridae—True lemurs. Our animals on Lemur Island, the ring-tailed lemur and the red-fronted lemur are found in this family as well as the red-ruffed lemur in the Small Mammal House. These lemurs have long bushy tails used for balancing as they jump from branch to branch. They have a well-developed sense of smell and often scent mark their territories.
Megaladapidae—Sportive lemurs are nocturnal and arboreal. They are primarily leaf eaters.
Indriidae—Woolly lemurs and sifakas are the largest of the lemur families. Some can reach four feet (1.2 m) from head to toe. The sifakas have long spring-like legs that allow them to jump over 30 feet (9 m) from tree to tree.
Daubentoniidae—The only member of this family is the rare aye-aye. They are solitary and nocturnal. They have elongated, narrow, flexible fingers that they use to reach under tree bark for grubs.
Lemurs feed primarily on leaves and fruits, and most are arboreal. For some of the nocturnal lemurs, insects form a large part of their diet.

Turning waste heat into electrical energy
Josh Moczygemba, Marlow Industries
Power output is proportional to the temperature difference from the pipe surface to ambient, and the number of straps employed in the application. The EverGen PowerStrap is composed of three main components: Bi2Te3 thermoelectric generators (TEGs), anodized aluminium clamping straps and natural convection heat sinks.
The TEG modules produce power from the temperature difference between the pipe wall and ambient air. They have a maximum operating temperature of 230°C and are sealed for environmental protection. The clamping straps provide a geometrical transition from the round exterior pipe wall to the flat TEG surface. The clamp attaches with a compression technique that requires no modifications to the pipe wall. Straps are custom sized based on pipe diameter. The heat sinks dissipate heat to the ambient environment; they are typically made of aluminium with anodized coatings.
Design methodology
Maximizing power in the EverGen PowerStrap system requires a balance between the thermal and electrical system design. Thermal optimization starts by defining a thermal load resistance ratio (m).
Figure 2 represents the impact on performance that different thermal load ratios have on the power output. For most thermoelectric applications, designing for a thermal load resistance ratio of one ensures the best performance possible. In the case of the EverGen PowerStrap, the best performing natural convection heat sink was chosen, based on orientation, size, cost and manufacturing constraints. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software was used to aid in the heat sink design optimization. Next, the TEG devices were designed using Marlow's proprietary TEG software to match the thermal resistivity of the natural convection heat sinks under pure natural convection conditions.
The electrical system optimization is analogous to the thermal system. For maximum power transfer, the internal electrical resistance of the power source must match the electrical resistance of the load being powered. In this case, the electrical load ratio (n) is defined as
Where Rload is the electrical resistance of the load being powered and RTEG, electrical is the electrical resistance of the TEG module under operating conditions.
Figure 3 highlights why this is a particularly important consideration when designing thermoelectric power generation systems. In reality, both electrical and thermal characteristics of the TEG are interrelated with the thermal resistance of the TEG being affected by the electrical load connected to the TEG. In real world applications, where operating conditions and loads vary, it would be very difficult to always ensure proper load matching across all operating points due to temperature dependent properties of the TEG. Fortunately, commercially available maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers originally designed for the solar industry can also perform this function for thermoelectric systems. In cases where hybrid solar/thermoelectric systems are employed, a single MPPT controller accommodates both. The only design requirements are that the TEG system voltage and current outputs for the operating range meet the input requirements of the MPPT controller.
Next: Test setup
Electrical efficiency η ≠ R(load)/R(source ("TEG"))
η = R(load)/[R(load) + R(source)]
It's unbelieveable such a fundamental error could make it past the editors and be published in EETimes: A cursory glance would show that if the source resistance is less than or equal the load resistance, the efficiency η would be ≥1.0
Dan Schwartz
Editor, The Hearing Blog
For the record, when the source resistance is zero, the efficiency η is 100%; while when in maximum power transfer conditions, the source resistance = the load resistance, the efficiency η = 50% i.e. the voltage drop and hence the i²R power dissipation is equal across the source and load.
Also this must use true waste heat as a source.
if not then increasing thermal conductivity will lower the mother ships efficiency. This would negate any power produced by the parasitc system running of the exaust heat.
This is great for legacy systems, but given the cost of energy, it is a poorly planned new design that could effectively utilize this technology.
Real energy savings can be had with heat pump water heaters (cool the house, create hot water simultaneously), or the University of Michigan using the Great Lakes for a heat sink and cutting their air conditioning bills by about $500K per month.
PlumbArena for Heating & Plumbing
Solar electric energy is electric power generation from sunlight. It could be direct to PV - Photovoltaic, or it could be indirect. An instance of the indirect type is concentration of solar power, where the energy of the sun is concentrated to boil water used to generate power.

Everybody who uses Linux is a tester and; I don't know what your experience of Non Linux Operating Systems is but one could say that everyone who uses a computer is a tester.
There is no such thing as totally stable software as it is not possible for every single eventuality to be foreseen. Sabayon has a dedicated band of testers who do their very best to test software before it goes into the weekly repository and the label "beta" is neither here nor there. Some packages stay in beta for years - does that mean we shouldn't use them?
If lxnay hadn't released entropy as a working beta we would probably still be compiling all our packages.
