Very strong rose and powder tones, very similar to Lulu Guinness but more powdery. More of an "Under Carriage" sent. Something you can mist on while you are lotioning or oiling your body, it has a very natural finish.

For all the latest coverage, check out our event coverage page. Also, make sure to check out our Facebook photo gallery for the latest images from the meet in Austin.
Commentary by Jeff Commings
AUSTIN, Texas, March 27. AS Liz Lemon used to say: "What the what??!!!??"
That statement can refer to multiple things from the first day of the NCAA Men's Division I Swimming and Diving Championships. It can be directed at the 14 relay disqualifications, the shocking no-shows in the championship finals or the fact that the Texas Longhorns are leading the team race by one point.
"Results are unofficial"
I will likely go to sleep tonight hearing Sam Kendricks' voice in my head on endless repeat. Kendricks, possibly the best meet announcer in the business, kept saying results after just about each relay heat were "unofficial" until judges could verify that the electronic judging was indeed correct. This hurt a lot of teams not only looking to score points, but place in the top five at the end of the meet. The DQ that put a knot in my stomach was Arizona's in the 400 medley relay. Kevin Cordes left the blocks five hundredths of a second early, leaving us to only wonder what we could have seen from the Wildcats. Not only were they tapped to win the relay, but I and many others believed they could dip under three minutes. With Mitchell Friedemann, Cordes and Giles Smith all seniors this year, it might be many years before a talented foursome of that caliber steps up to swim that race again.
Why so many DQs? In an interview with the media, Florida coach Gregg Troy suggested that the meet is "real fast, and not much margin for error. Everyone's cutting it real slim and pressing it as much as they can. It's pretty easy to get a little nervous and make a mistake."
The average takeover time on the 400 medley relay tonight was .27 and about .15 on the 200 free relay. So, everyone was a little back on their heels tonight.
Rousseau, Chierighini out of championship final?
Sebastian Rousseau and Marcelo Chierighini were each favored to win or be in the top three of their individual events on the first day. Rousseau was supposed to be in the hunt in the 200 IM, while Chierighini was all but assured of the win in the 50 free. Neither showed up in prelims today, and it hurt Florida badly when Rousseau finished 21st. As for Chierighini, he didn't break 19 seconds at all today, with a best of 19.21 in the 50 free prelims. Rousseau has the opportunity to recoup his losses tomorrow in the 400 IM, while Chierighini's next big chance will come in the 100 free on Saturday.
Texas fight to the top
The University of Texas Longhorns are always in the top five. Eddie Reese's squads have placed in the top five every year since 1981, with the exception of 2005 (seventh place). As a former Longhorn, I am proud to be part of that history, but was wary of that streak continuing this year. On paper, Texas didn't look like they had a chance to score points in many events. If they were lucky, they would get into a few relay finals.
After the first day, the Longhorns are in the lead by one point. Chalk that up to second place in the 200 free relay and third in the 400 medley relay. Give a big cheer to the divers, led by champion Michael Hixon. Credit the home pool advantage. Credit Eddie Reese for having the confidence to not give his swimmers a big taper at any point in the season.
"We're kind of a workhorse," Reese said. "We may not win anything but diving, which we've already won. We just keep struggling along. The overall effort has been pretty good."
Overheard: "If Sam Kendricks says 'results are unofficial' one more time, I'm going to take his microphone and beat him senseless with it."

About Marlborough(mahrl-bore-oh)
Sitting pretty on the northern tip of New Zealand's south island, Marlborough has become synonymous with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. As well it should be – Marlborough is the primary region for those delicious, citrusy, summer-lovin' wines with vibrant acidity and pungent, grassy, grapefruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc is the main grape here; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling are also made.

Lymphoma is a type of cancer which develops from white blood cells called lymphocytes. The cancerous cells then predominately build up in lymph nodes—enlarging them to form tumors.
However, it may also develop in other parts of the lymphatic system, such as the spleen, bone marrow, blood or even other organs. The lymphatic system also includes lymphatic vessels, which provide the means for the cancerous cells to circulate throughout the body. The lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system.
Types of Lymphomas
There are two main groups of lymphoma—Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin (NHL). Differences exist among the various types of lymphomas, but all affect the cells that play a role in the body's immune system.
- Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is the least common form of this disease. A microscopic exam of a tissue biopsy is to necessary to differentiate between Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. If the abnormal cells are identified as Reed-Sternberg cells, then the diagnosis is HL, of which there are six sub-types.
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common type of cancer affecting lymphocytes. There are many sub-types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These types can be divided into aggressive (fast-growing) and indolent (slow-growing) types. Each type is different, behaves differently and requires unique treatment options.
"Two weeks after I was diagnosed (with non-Hodgkin lymphoma), I took the Rational Therapeutics test [EVA-PCD assay] and the results allowed the doctors to come up with a treatment regimen based on how well I would respond to various chemotherapies," George Kalogridis said. "My local oncologist used these recommendations. After my second round of chemotherapy, the cancer was gone." Read George Kalogridis's story.
Common Treatments for Lymphoma
Currently medical oncologists base their treatment strategy on standard chemotherapy protocols for specific types of cancer. For NHL patients, CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) is the most widely used, while ABVD (doxorubicin, vinblastine, bleomycin, dacarbazine), is among the most common therapies for HL.
However, many other protocols are in use or being tested. These protocols, developed over years of clinical trials, assign patients to the drugs for which they have the greatest statistical probability of response.
The fact that all patients with lymphoma will have an equal likelihood of response to a drug does not mean they will respond equally. In some instances, the addition of a drug might be recommended, like etoposide for EPOCH. In other circumstances, more intense dosing may be preferred like Hyper-CVAD.
"Everybody is an individual and we all react differently to things," George said. "It makes perfect sense that you should take a treatment specific to your own body's needs. We're all individuals and cancer care is no different." Read George Kalogridis's story.
Rational Therapeutics uses a functional profiling assay to determine which drugs work best for which patients. The test exposes living cancer cells obtained from the patient via biopsy to a variety of chemotherapy drugs and novel compounds.
Terry Gallant said, "I had seen 20 separate oncologists in my battle with cancer. There was no doubt in my mind that Dr. Nagourney was the one I wanted to treat me. He did a functional profile on my malignant tissue. It is a test, a tool to be used by a skilled oncologist in selecting protocols for his patient." Read Terry Gallant's story.
Just like in the cases of George Kalogridis, Terry Gallant, and the other lymphoma patients helped by our staff at Rational Therapeutics, let us help find the right treatment for you. Read their stories.

Pimlico death: Second man charged with murder

A second person has been charged with the murder of a teenager in Pimlico.
Hani Hicham Abou El Kheir, 16, was found dead on January 27 in Lupus Street. A post-mortem gave the cause of death as multiple stab wounds.
Today police charged Arber Barbatovci, 19, of Pimlico, with Hani's murder. He is due to appear at Redbridge Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
Ahmed Mikhaimar, 19, of Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, has previously been charged with Hani's murder.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on April 26 for a plea and case management hearing, Scotland Yard said.

With an overwhelming mandate of the people and exuberant enthusiasm of the markets, it is tough to be in the shoes of the Finance Minister. The expectations from the upcoming budget are exceptionally high even though a quarter of the financial year has already gone by.
While Nifty has risen by 7.6% since the elections results were announced, the PSU stocks index rose by almost thrice as much buoyed by positive sentiment. This is music to the ears of the FM who should cash in on the opportunity and increase the disinvestment target substantially, preferably at least by 50%. In addition, I would hope that the FM announces a policy to increase public shareholding in PSUs to 25% over the next three years which could rake in about Rs. 60,000 crore. This will ease the fiscal deficit target for the next few years.
On the tax front, first, the government should lay down a clear policy on retrospective taxes (preferably ban them) to soothe investor worries. In a globalised world, with emerging markets such as Russia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Mexico having a ban on retrospective amendments, India cant afford to scare away the investors; Vodafone and Nokia are two ugly tax rows that should become a thing of the past.
Second, the FM should draw a clear roadmap for implementation of GST and announce sufficient compensatory measures to assuage state governments concerns of loss in revenue. GST will boost manufacturing since the sector pays both central and state taxes. Through an efficient, taxpayer-friendly, and leak-proof system, GST is expected to add 1.5% to GDP.
Third, the government should resolve income tax cases through arbitration and fast track courts. As per a question in Parliament, Rs. 4.36 lakh crore is mired in 2.5 lakh legal cases as on December 2011.
Fourth, constant high inflation in the last decade has pushed many poor earners into the taxable income bracket. To prevent this unintended consequence, tax brackets should be indexed to inflation as is the practice in many developed countries.
On the policy front, inflation is a major worry which perhaps can be resolved to an extent in the short-term by just liquidating the excess stocks lying in FCI warehouses (420 lakh tonnes over and above buffer norms in 2013). Not only will it save Rs. 10,000 crore by doing away with the need to maintain these stocks but generate around 80,000 1 lakh crore through stock

Everyone that loves parrots wants to have a talking parrot. I've got seven parrots and most of them talk.
Let me introduce you to my flock of talking parrots. I'll go from largest to smallest:
Peachy is our 14 year old Moluccan Cockatoo. I got him when he was 3 years old. I had gone into the pet store to look for a Blue and Gold Macaw for my husband, but every time that I walked by Peachy, he'd say, "Hey, come here." I visited him a couple of times a week over the course of a month while doing a lot of research on Moluccan Cockatoo's to make sure he'd be a good fit in my family. The bird store personnel told me that he acted much more animated with me than with other customers. I guess he originally picked me. Peachy is a good talking parrot. He says: Hi, whatcha doing (whatcha doing doing!), hey come here, mommy, Max (my son), Hello, step up, and he is always quick to yell out our dogs names to scold them when they bark too much! – The correct name for the dog that's barking.
Smokey is an 11 year old Congo African Grey. I got him as a young baby and I have to admit, he is pretty spoiled. He is out on his Parrot Tower Bird Stand a lot. When he is around me or others he is a whistler and beeper. He's also quite the prankster. Several years ago he learned my husband's cell phone ring. You can imagine how many times Jim answered the phone and no one was there. He also learned that my husband would call me "Hey, Diane!" and I'd answer. One time, I kept hearing my name called from upstairs. I'd answer and get no reply. This happened over and over again until I was starting to get mad! What the H#%** do you want!" Turns out it was Smokey! Other than Hey Diane, Smokey says hello, hi, step up, chow chow, Timmy, Sissy and more.
Timmy and Sierra are 6 year old Timneh African Grey Parrots. I got them both as a young babies and even hand fed Sierra. Sierra is also is a mostly whistler and beeper. She knows a lot of words but prefers to communicate with her people flock in a series of whistles. Timmy, on the other hand, is a serious talker. He says so many things that I don't have room to list them all. I'll bet, Timmy can say at least 30 phrases. He also whistles "Take Me Out To The Ball Game." One of the funniest (and embarrassing) things he often asks the dogs is "Do you have to go pee pee?" I guess he is determined to keep our carpet smelling fresh!
Mandolina a.k.a. Mandy is a 6 year old flighted Orange Winged Amazon. I hand fed her from the time she was featherless until she was weaned. The most popular talking Amazon Parrots are the Yellow Napped and Double Yellow Head Amazon's. Mandy thinks she doesn't need her cage. She has an open playtop bird cage and so she goes all over the bird room and the basement. Mandy does not speak as much parrots of those species, but she knows several phrases. She also has several whistles and coo's that she uses routinely to determine my whereabouts in the house or to just let me know she loves being out and following me about in flight, as I go about my business.
Skeeter is a 6 year old Red Bellied Parrot. She is also flighted. She had come from an abusive background but she totally loves me! It's mutual. Skeeter loves to ride around on my shoulder and preen my hair. Her cage usually has an open door policy as does Mandy's so they hang out together most of the time. Skeeter loves to explore and can be a little mischievous, too. She has a larger vocabulary than Mandy, probably having about 8 phrases that she says consistently.
Mika is a 3 year old Pacific Parrotlet. Unlike the other birds in our flock, who have their own bird room, Mika's cage is upstairs. I've had a lot of customers who tell me that they have talking parrotlet's, but I'm not sure if Mika talks or not. She tweets a lot, but her little vocal cords are so tiny that I can't decipher if she is actually talking. Mika loves to ride around on my shoulder. She is pretty feisty and territorial. She's flighted, too.
So, how did we get so many talking parrots? One of the earliest things I learned in my friendship with parrots is how important it is to prevent problem behaviors including screaming and biting. Parrots that talk and whistle to communicate with you are much less likely to scream for attention. While not every parrot is a proficient talker, there are a number of things you can do to promote a talking parrot.
- Develop a training schedule. Parrots are quick learners with short attention spans.
- Study Clicker Training techniques.
- Learn to read Parrot Body Language.
- Match your parrots voice inflection training in the same tones or vocal capabilities that your parrot has.
- Teach bird tricks to your parrot. Each new learning experience adds to the learning momentum. The more you train your parrot the faster it will learn the next, subsequent trick.

Behind van der Wyk's 3rd, Women's X-Country Advances To State As Team
Rarely does one runner have as much impact as Tracee van der Wyk made for the Pasadena City College women's cross country team on Friday at the Southern California Championships. Van der Wyk's All-Region sixth place finish catapulted the Lancers to reach their first team appearance at the CCCAA state meet in eight years.
Van der Wyk, from Temple City High, ran the 3-mile course at Mt. San Antonio College in a time of 18 minutes, 20 seconds. Despite not having another runner finish in the top half of the field, the Lancers qualified for the state meet in 17th place (18 made the cut). Van der Wyk's high finish allowed for PCC to make its first trip to Fresno as a team since 2001.
None of PCC's remaining runners would have advanced as individuals had it not been for van der Wyk's 6-point low score. Lidia Garcia crossed the line in 98th place at 21:05 with teammate Abby Read right behind her in 99th at 21:06. Next for the Lancers was sophomore Ashley Hernandez in 116th (21:40), then Rebecca Nunez in 120th (21:43). Marissa Morales rounded out the PCC squad in 141st at 22:20.
Nina Moore ran a blistering 17:17 to win the individual race and lead Glendale College to the regional championship win.
For the eighth straight year, the Lancers did not qualify as a team for the CCCAA state meet.
Pasadena's 19th place finish at the SoCal Championships was right below the cutoff point as the top 18 teams advanced out of 28 teams that scored.
On the bright side, PCC sophomore Ernesto Rodriguez, who has been plagued by sinus problems throughout the season, ran his best race of the year, finishing in 22nd place individually with a time of 21:29 in the 4-mile race.
Freshman Wil Zentmyer was the next fastest Lancer in 80th place at 22:37. Both Rodriguez and Zentmyer qualified as individuals for the Fresno state meet.
The regionals became the final race this year for the following Lancers: Kevin Cano, 115th, 23:09, Richard Zarazua, 125th, 23:25, McKinley Murphy, 130th, 23:33, Antero Barrantes, 159th, 24:00, and Herminio Flores, 187th, 26:03. All five are freshmen.
Southwestern's Dahir Mohamed won the individual race in 20:24 while San Bernardino Valley captured the regional team title.
PCC only lost out of making the meet as a team by 15 total points with Palomar just edging it for the 18th spot (446 points to the Lancers' 461).
The women's team and the male duo of Rodriguez/Zentmyer cap the 2009 season Saturday, November 21 when they participate in the CCCAA Championship meet at Fresno's Woodward Park. The women's 3.1 mile race begins at 10 a.m. with men's race following at 11 a.m.

343 Industries released a title update to Halo 4 on the Xbox 360 Thursday with various exploit and gameplay fixes.
The exact details of the Halo 4 title update have not been released yet as 343 Industries wanted to wait until after the update was released. Community manager Jessica Shea did say, "this particular TU tackles actual game and gameplay issues, not sandbox tweaks and balances. We have another TU in the works and will continue working on the timing and content of the next one."
The title update moves Halo 4 to version 1.02 and is an approximately 30MB download.

The Diamondbacks appear to be moving closer to finding a new home for outfielder Jason Kubel, whom they cut ties with on Tuesday by designating him for assignment.
Kubel could be moved as soon as Friday, sources say, with one possible landing spot being the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians have struggled offensively in August, hitting just .228 while averaging only 3.4 runs per game.
The Orioles were reported to have expressed interest, but a source said Kubel is unlikely to go to Baltimore.
Kubel, who has battled leg injuries this season, hit .220 with five homers in 241 at-bats with the Diamondbacks. His playing time has fallen off the past two months.

Neesa Gopaul murder PI continues
When the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the murder of 16-year-old Queen's College student, Neesa Lalita Gopaul, continued yesterday, Ashram Tewari, was called to give evidence in chief yesterday.
Tewari testified about certain events leading up to the arrest of the two defendants, Jarvis Small and Bibi Gopaul.
Small, who is a gym instructor and Gopaul, the teen's mother, are accused of killing the girl between September 24 and October 2, at Madewini on the Soesdyke Linden Highway.
The matter is presently being heard before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates' Court.
Pritima Kissoon, who is prosecuting the case and Senior Counsel Bernard Dos Santos were present at yesterday's hearing.
The matter is scheduled to continue on July 13.
Neesa Gopaul went missing on September 23, last, and her mother made a report at the Leonora Police Station two days later. The girl's body was found at the Emerald Towers Resort, on the Highway on October 2, last.
The teen's disfigured body was in a large suitcase that was dumped into the Madewini Creek. Certain articles found in the suitcase led to the arrest of the Jarvis Small and Bibi Gopaul. They were subsequently charged for the murder.
A length of rope was wrapped around the body and the killer(s) had attached two dumb-bells, weighing more than 80 pounds, to the other end of the rope, apparently in an effort to weigh the body down. The victim was wearing a pair of black shorts and a multi-coloured top. Her passport and a bankcard were found with the remains.
A family that had gone to the abandoned resort to swim in the Madewini Creek made the gruesome find.

3. "I read a lot myself. Some people think I'm too intellectual."
The film spawned not one but two novelisations.
This being the mid-80s, "Ghostbusters" was released at the very pinnacle of the novelisation craze. The first of the two books based on the screenplay to make it into print was by Larry Milne, published in the U.K. and simply titled "Ghostbusters." That was the one this writer owned and repeatedly read (and yes, we do understand there is a special circle of nerddom reserved for those who not only rewatch a beloved movie ad infinitum, but reread it…). Anyway, it hews very faithfully to the film, though presumably to the film in its unfinished state (as was the practise with novelisations, the author would often be working from a cruder edit or even early script draft, in order to have the book on the shelves simultaneously with the film's release). Written in the present tense, strangely, if our memory serves really the only thing it expands on that didn't make it into the theatrical release is the budding love affair between Janine and Spengler (I seem to remember he compliments her clavicles at one point), though it does also include rather nice pithy sketches of our heroes, like "Nobody has explained the facts of life to Spengler. He worked them out for himself on a pocket calculator and vaguely suspects he came up with the wrong result." That probably made me snort milk out of my nose all over my pedal pushers.
The following year the second version hit the shelves, written by Richard Mueller, this time called "Ghostbusters: The Supernatural Spectacular." According to those in the know (or rather, the reviewers on Amazon) it is superior to the Milne version in terms of style and artistry and adds greater backstory to the characters.
4. "I love this town!"
Despite only being partially filmed there, Ghostbusters is regarded as a quintessential New York movie.
While the fact that it has a certain catchment area and is a vital resource for the surrounding community is probably cited as the reason Hook and Ladder 8 firestation on 14 North Moore Street in Tribeca got saved from a recent firehouse cull threatened by wily ol' Mayor Bloomberg, "Ghostbusters" fans rallying to its defence probably didn't hurt. For yes, it is the Ghostbusters HQ, and as such, an integral part of any self-respecting cinephile's tour of New York City (some nice shots of it here). However, those bothering the actual fireman for a peek inside should know that there's no pilgramage value there -- all the HQ interiors were shot in a disused firehouse in L.A., one that was also built in 1912, hence the neat matching of exterior and interior detailing. But with a slightly altered logo painted on the sidewalk outside, and the same fireman/ghostbuster motif available on Ladder 8 FDNY merchandise, the association is there to stay.
Of course the firehouse is not the only real-life New York location you can spot in the film: Columbia University, the New York Public Library, Central Park, the apartment block overlooking Central Park, The Tavern on the Green Restaurant -- all these exteriors are used, along with some of their interiors at times. Had budget and logistics allowed, indeed, the film would have featured the mother of all New York landmarks: originally the 112.5 ft Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (the height was a compromise between the 100ft and the 125ft variously suggested to Reitman), was to rise out of the water beside the Statue of Liberty, to give us a sense of its size. With Lady Liberty standing at 111.5 feet without her pedestal, they would have made a beautiful couple. But that turned out to be impractical and so the majority of the film's supernatural events take place uptown, proving, if nothing else, that ancient Sumerian gods have expensive taste in real estate. And the statue got its moment in the limelight eventually with a key role in the vastly inferior sequel.

Smart Idea: Cars for Rent, From Almost Any Curb
Want to rent a Smart car for 19 cents a minute? Just flash your driver's licence at a device by the windshield, and off you go. That's the essence of a pilot project starting in the German city of Ulm on Friday.
Rain is crashing down and you are late for work. The bus is late and there's no taxi in sight. Why not rent a car? It sounds insane, but it will soon be possible for citizens of Ulm, the focus of a pilot project by Daimler, which wants to make car rental as "easy as using a mobile phone."
European bike-rental systems already work on the same principle. They've been hugely successful, at least in good weather. Daimler thinks the Car2Go scheme will cater to changing attitudes toward car ownership.
"Having your own car has now become a burden for many city dwellers," said Daimler manager Robert Henrich to SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Especially among young people, cars are now less important as a status symbol."
The Ulm project starts Friday. At first only employees of the Stuttgart-based company will take part. But if it goes well, the program will open to any visitor or resident of Ulm in 2009. Users will be billed at a basic charge of 19 euro cents a minute (about 25 US cents), which includes fuel and insurance. The maximum hourly rate for Car2Go is 9.90 ($12.75), and a whole day will cost 49.90 ($64).
Daimler will be able to track each car and even learn, remotely, whether it needs gasoline. Parking tickets are addressed in the contract: They will be paid by the customer.
And Ulm, a mid-sized university town of some 200,000 residents, not far from Stuttgart, is welcoming the project. Mayor Evo Gönner has said optimistically, "Car2Go will make a triumphal procession from Ulm to the wider world." But whether it works is still open to question. The project will be closely watched from many quarters -- not least by local taxi drivers.

Alderney State Correctional Facility
this wiki
- "Where men who "didn't do it" discover what they are prepared to do when deprived of female contact."
- ―GTA IV Manual Description
The Alderney State Correctional Facility is a prison in the State of Alderney.
Enclosed by the Acter Industrial Park and located on the banks of the West River, the Alderney State Correctional Facility is a medium security prison, as shown by the armed guards of the Alderney State Department of Corrections, barbed wire fences and guard towers.
Inmates can often be seen idling around, sweeping the prison grounds, and watering the grass. The prison features a recreation yard and a chapel is located in the southeastern section of the prison where a preacher is sometimes seen.
Niko Bellic will not receive a wanted level if he enters the prison unless he walks/runs into, kills or injures a guard or inmate. However, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Fernando Lopez will receive a three-star wanted level upon entering the facility.
The Facility is based on the New Jersey State Prison in Trenton, NJ, while also talking some design cues, specifically the prison walls, from the infamous East Jersey State Prison.
Known Inmates
- Dwayne Forge (formerly)
- Gerald McReary
- Lincoln Atwood
- Wyatt
- Jose
- Moose
- Henry
- Digger Brass
- Billy Grey (formerly/deceased)
- Jon Gravelli, Jr.
Mission Appearances
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- The Lost and Damned
- When viewed from far away, the large fenced-in concrete recreational area inside the prison appears as a baseball field.
- A Carbine Rifle can be found in the prison.
- During a cutscene in the visiting area the guard shifts and some of the names seen in the background when said fast can sound different like, "Phil McRevice" ("fill my crevice"), "Seymour Fani" ("see more fanny"), "Isaac Hunt" ("I's a cunt"), and Richard Head ("Dick head"). Also, this guard shift sheet is titled "Liberty City Correctional Facility" instead of Alderney State Correctional Facility.

I would appreciate if you are more specific about my "wrong assumptions", so I can think about it and post corrections or explanation.
I was not trying to imply you are out there to deceive people. I was trying to:
a) give the correct answer to your Baccarat chalenge question;
b) point out that you are out trying to prove a point without a properly designed experiment.
Whethter the flows in your designed "experiment" are due to lack of statistical knowledge or some other reason is beyond my knowledge. The fact remains that you have not designed an experiment which will prove anything. If you wish to have a valid statistical experiment, which is the only way to obtain valid p-values or other statistics, you must specify all details in your design BEFORE you start the experiment. Else, all you have is a voodoo proof.
Good luck!

Now i put the grips on, with windex, the left grip seems tight enough, but i think i put a bit too much windex on the right, and its loose (its been abt a week since i did this) I tried using a computer air duster to dry it out, it works, but it gets loose again. Any suggestions?

UMass Faces St. Joe's At Hallowed Palestra On Dr. J's Birthday
Complete Release in PDF Format
UMASS (9-15, 4-7) at SAINT JOSEPH'S (14-11, 7-4)
UMass Faces St. Joe's At Hallowed Palestra On Sunday
Two UMass players have a great chance to reach personal milestones on Sunday. Senior point guard Chris Lowe comes into the game with 633 career assists to stand tied with Carl Smith for the all-time UMass record. The pair are tied for seventh in career assists in Atlantic 10 history. Lowe ranks 14th in the NCAA in assists per game at 6.2, second in the A-10 to Charlotte's DiJuan Harris (6.8). He has led the league in two of the last three years and is seeking to become the first three-time league leader in history.
Senior forward Tony Gaffney is just two steals from becoming the first player in the NCAA to have 100 blocks (which he reached against Rhode Island on Wednesday) and 50 steals (enters Saint Joseph's game with 48) since Duke's Shelden Williams achieved it in 2005-06. Since 1996-97, only four players have reached that combination in a single season. Gaffney is third in the NCAA in blocks per game (4.2), which leads the A-10. He is also 14th in rebounding (10.4) and 53rd in steals per game (2.0). Both of those marks are second in the Atlantic 10.
Sunday's game will be available through UMass All-Access on UMassAthletics.com as well as the UMass Sports Network with Josh Maurer and Tim Kenney on the call. Listen on 100.9 FM WRNX, the flagship station along with 830 AM WCRN and 95.9 FM WATD in Eastern Mass.
Happy Birthday Dr. J
This Season's First UMass-Saint Joseph's Game
Ahmad Nivins led Saint Joseph's with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Tasheed Carr added 14 and Darr1n Govens had 10 for the Hawks (14-8, 7-1). It was Saint Joseph's ninth win in 10 games.
After a hot offensive start, the Minutemen cooled down with only 27 second-half points. UMass was 24-for-63 (38 percent) from the field, 9-for-27 (27 percent) from behind the arc, while Saint Joseph's was 25-for-55 (46 percent) and 5-for-14 (36 percent). Rebounds were 40 to 36 in favor of the Hawks.
Saint Joseph's went on an 9-0 run starting with 4:07 left in the second half that was keyed by back-to-back jumpers from Nivins and Garrett Williamson with less than 2:30 left in the second for a 60-56 Hawks lead. Then Carr added a pair of free throws for a 62-56 edge and Williamson made a foul shot for a 63-56 lead they would never relinquish.
The Series With Saint Joseph's
Saint Joe's has won the last three games including the 68-64 win two weeks ago. The Hawks also won twice last season. The Hawks pulled off a 98-92 win at the Mullins Center on Jan. 9, 2008 while UMass made an amazing comeback but lost at Hawk Hill, 81-77 on Jan. 23.
The Minutemen won the previous two games to end the Hawks eight-game win streak in the season. Three seasons ago UMass posted a 68-58 win on Jan. 11, 2006, at the Mullins Center. Two years ago, UMass captured the Atlantic 10 conference regular-season co-championship with a 71-67 win at Hawk Hill on March 3, 2007.
Saint Joseph's has won 12 of the last 15, but prior to that UMass ran off six consecutive victories in the series.
Saint Joseph's holds a 15-9 advantage against the Minutemen for regular-season games played in Philadelphia. At The Palestra vs. SJU, UMass is 2-4 overall with two wins in the A-10 Tournament. UMass is 0-3 in regular-season games against the Hawks at The Palestra, losing in 1983, 84 and 88. Saint Joe's holds a 12-9 mark against UMass in Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.
The Minutemen hold a 14-7 advantage against Saint Joseph's for games played in Amherst, including a 8-7 mark against the Hawks at the Mullins Center.
This will be UMass head coach Derek Kellogg's second game against the Hawks, he did play against Saint Joseph's when Phil Martelli was an assistant at SJU. Martelli took over as head coach in 1995-96, the year UMass made the Final Four. Martelli stands 14-11 all-time against the Minutemen in his career.
Last Season's Meeting In Philadelphia
UMass Playing 50th-Toughest Schedule
The A-10 has three teams playing schedules in the top 50 in difficulty: Xavier plays the 24th-toughest, Temple faces the 44th-toughest and UMass is playing the 50th-toughest.
Gaffney Among The NCAA Leaders
With 100 blocks and 48 steals, Gaffney is closing in on becoming the fifth player since 1996-97 to have 100 blocks and 50 steals in a season. The last to achieve the mark was Duke's Shelden Williams in 2005-06 with 137 blocks and 60 steals.
Gaffney is tied for 53rd in steals per game with 2.0 per game, which is second in the Atlantic 10 to Duquesne's Damian Saunders (2.2).
He is having a breakout senior season averaging a double-double with nine double-doubles this season after none in his career in 81 games entering the season. He also had grabbed at least seven rebounds in 19 of 24 games and at least 10 in 15 of the 24 games. He has double-doubles in two of his last three games with a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds at St. Bonaventure (2/14). He also had 19 points and 10 rebounds at Fordham (2/11) last Wednesday.
Gaffney has three games with 15 or more rebounds, most recently at Houston (12/30) with 16. He also had 19 at Memphis (11/17) and 18 vs. Boston College (12/6).
Gaffney has five or more blocks in nine games this year including seven against Dayton (1/10). After that game, UD coach Brian Gregory called Gaffney "the best non-scoring player in the nation" for his all-around game. His career-high of nine came vs. Boston College (12/6).
Gaffney nearly had triple-doubles in back-to-back games on Dec. 6 and 10. In those contests he has a combined 32 points, 29 rebounds and 17 blocks. Against Holy Cross, (12/10), he had 17 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks. That followed a titanic effort vs. Boston College (12/6) with 15 points, 18 rebounds and a career-high nine blocked shots.
Gaffney's 100 blocked shots already rank as the sixth-best single-season in UMass history. At No. 5 is Marcus Camby with 103 in his sophomore season of 1994-95. Gaffney's 159 career blocks is seventh in a career at UMass. Kitwana Rhymer (184) is sixth all-time.
Many of Gaffney's best performances of 2008-09 have come against national powers. At #25/23 Kansas (12/13), he posted 13 rebounds and six blocks. Against Boston College when he had 15 points, 18 rebounds, and a career-high nine blocked shots, his put-back of a missed Chris Lowe free throw sent the game to overtime, giving UMass a chance for its second-straight win over BC. Another outstanding game came at Memphis (11/17), one which Memphis John Calipari called him the best player on the court. Against the No. 13 Tigers, Gaffney scored 16 points and grabbed 19 rebounds along with five blocks. He opened with 16 points and 13 rebounds vs. Arkansas-Monticello (11/11).
Lowe Ties Assists Mark, Nets 1000th
Lowe is 14th in the NCAA in the NCAA with 6.2 assists per game, which also is second in the Atlantic 10 lead to Charlotte's DiJuan Harris (6.8). He has led the league in assists in two of the last three years and would become the first player to lead the A-10 in assists for three years in a career.
Lowe became the 41st player in UMass history to pass the 1,000-point plateau. Ricky Harris became the 40th earlier this year. Lowe has become the first UMass player with 1,000 points and 600 assists and just the seventh in Atlantic 10 history.
Lowe stands tied with Smith for seventh in career assists in the Atlantic 10 with his 633. Next on the list is George Washington's Shawnta Rogers (634) follwoed by St. Bonaventure's Marques Green (657).
Lowe is up to 33rd in career scoring at UMass with 1,058. Next on the list are No. 31 Jack Foley (1,081) and No. 32 Shannon Crooks (1,074).
Lowe has seven 10-assist games this season and 13 in his career, all in the last two seasons (all in the last 37 games). He racked up 10 assists vs. Richmond (2/4)for his last double-figure game. Lowe had 10 or more assists in four of five games in December with 10 each vs. Hofstra (12/20) and IUPUI (12/27). Lowe had 12 vs. Holy Cross (12/10) and 11 against Boston College (12/6). He also did it vs. Temple (1/17).
The Mount Vernon, N.Y. product became the fourth player with 500 career assists at UMass after he gained five against Jacksonville State (11/24). He passed his coach Derek Kellogg (453) most recently at the end of last year.
With a career-high 14 against La Salle (3/5/08) - part of the sixth triple-double in UMass history (14 pts, 10 reb), Lowe moved past UMass Hall of Famer Joe DiSarcina (431) into fifth. Last season, he also passed two illustrious coaches who played at UMass: BC Coach Al Skinner (320) and Louisville coach Rick Pitino (329).
With his 214 assists last season, Lowe had the third-best single-season in UMass history after passing Smith (212), Smith (191), Alex Eldridge (174) and Rick Pitino (168).
Harris Shoots Up 1,000-Point List
Next on the list for Harris to pass are No. 16 Doug Grutchfield (1,257), No. 15 Billy Tindall (1,277) and No. 14 Clarence Hill (1,369).
Harris has picked up where he left off last season, when he was named the A-10 Chris Daniels Most Improved player. Harris is leading UMass with a 18.8 scoring average and led the team in scoring in 16 of the first 24 games with 20 or more in eight games. Harris is 43rd in the NCAA in scoring per game and third in the Atlantic 10. He dropped a season and career-high 35 points on BC (12/6). The 35 points were good for the 13th most in school history and only six behind the school record of 41 held by Billy Tindall on Feb. 10, 1968 vs. Vermont. It was also Harris' second ever 30+ point scoring effort. Two games prior, he netted 27 at Green Bay (11/29) and had 24 points at Southern Illinois (11/12).
Harris Rises on 3-Point Charts
Harris, who tied Carmelo Travieso for the single-season mark for made treys last year with 104, is rising on the career charts. Harris stands fifth in career made 3-pointers with 191 and fifth in career attempts with 520. With four treys at Green Bay, he passed Edgar Padilla (136) and his coach Derek Kellogg (138). Next on the list at No. 4 is Rafer Giles (221).
On the attempts list, Harris is fifth, passing Sutton(424), James Life (425) and Edgar Padilla (431) after passing Kellogg (362) earlier this season. Next on the attempts chart is Rafer Giles (592).
Harris had his streak of 26 games in a row with at least one 3-pointer ended in the loss to Vanderbilt (1/3).
Big Nights For Bonner
Bonner posted his first-career double-double at Charlotte (1/21) with a career-high tying 15 points and a career-best 11 rebounds. That performance came in a career-high 39 minutes, shattering his former length of 26 minutes by 13. Bonner also set or tied career highs for field goals attempted (11), made 3-pointers (3), 3-pointers attempted (8) and assists (3).
Bonner, who was injured on Nov. 12 at Southern Illinois, returned to action on Dec. 20 against Hofstra with a career breakout game. He posted then-career bests 15 points and nine rebounds. That came in just 18 minutes off the bench.
In 17 games (14 starts), he is scoring 7.6 points per game along with 5.6 rebounds. He has made 29-of-67 3-point field goals for a team-best 43.3.
Over his last 10 games -- which he has made a 3-pointer in each game -- Bonner is shooting 48 percent from beyond the arc with 20-of-41.
He also had a huge game in an all-around sense with 14 points including three 3-pointers and four drawn charges at #10/10 Xavier (1/31).
Bonner made a career-high four 3-pointers, hitting all four of his attempts, at Fordham (2/11).
On the defensive end, Bonner has been just amazing at drawing charges. He has taken 23 offensive fouls in just 16 games, more than one a game including a career high four on twice at #10/10 Xavier and vs. Hofstra (12/20). Bonner has 23 of UMass' 32 drawn charges as a team this season.
Off To See The United States
UMass Against Ranked Teams
UMass has won four of its last 12 games against ranked teams dating to 2004. UMass lost at Memphis, 80-58 on Nov. 17, 2008. Last season the Minutemen were 1-2 against ranked teams with the win at Dayton, 82-71 on Jan. 16, 2008.
Last season, UMass broke a five-game losing streak against ranked teams with its 82-71 win at #14/18 Dayton on Jan. 16. The Minutemen's previous win over a ranked team came at #21 George Washington (76-74 in OT on Jan. 15, 2005). That was the second win a row over a ranked team that season as UMass also beat #7 UConn (61-59 on Dec. 9, 2004). In both those wins, three-time first-team All-Atlantic 10 honoree Rashaun Freeman hit the game-winning shot, beating UConn with 4.3 seconds left and topping the Colonials with a lay-up with 0.4 left in overtime.
UMass 5-1 Vs Defending NCAA Champs
UMass head coach Derek Kellogg has been a part of three of the wins over the champ as a player in 1993 and 1994 and the head coach in 2008 vs. Kansas.
On Dec. 9, 2004 as the Minutemen downed No. 7 UConn at the Mullins Center, 61-59 as Rashaun Freeman scored with seconds left to lift UMass to the historic win. The game marked the first time a defending champion visited the Mullins Center.
UMass knocked off North Carolina, 91-86, in overtime on Nov. 24, 1993 in the semifinals of the Preseason NIT at Madison Square Garden.
One year later, UMass thumped Arkansas, 104-80, on Nov. 25, 1994 in the Tip-Off Classic at the Springfield Civic Center.
That win over No. 1 Arkansas is symbolic, as it vaulted UMass to the No. 1 ranking in the AP poll for the first time in school history. Last week was the 14-year anniversary of the school's first No. 1 ranking, as the Minutemen played their first game as the No. 1 team on Dec. 3, 1994.
UMass' only loss against a champ came on Nov. 22, 1999, as the Minutemen lost to UConn at Gampel Pavilion, 79-65, on Nov. 22, 1999.
Notes On UMass' Win Over Kansas
UMass won a non-conference game against a ranked team, away from Massachusetts for the first time since it beat Georgetown in the 1996 NCAA Elite Eight on March 23, 1996.
For head coach Derek Kellogg the win was sweet as his Minutemen picked up their first win over a ranked team under his watch in just his ninth game as a head coach. The previous fastest UMass coach to beat a ranked team was Bruiser Flint, who beat then-No. 19 Boston College in his 17th game as the head man on Jan. 18, 1997. Kellogg also gained a win against Kansas, the team which downed Memphis in the 2008 NCAA title game when Kellogg was an assistant for former UMass coach John Calipari.
UMass beat a non-conference ranked team on the road for the first time since win at #21 Louisville on March 2, 1996, 62-59.
UMass beat a non-conference ranked team for the first time since topping UConn, 61-59, on Dec. 9, 2004. Since that game, UMass is 4-7 against ranked teams (1-1 this season, losing at Memphis).
UMass last beat a ranked team at #14 Dayton on the road last season, 82-71 on Jan. 16, 2008.
The Minutemen have won the last two games against Kansas, winning at the Mullins Center in 1999. All-time Kansas leads the series, 3-2. All five games have been played in different states (New York, California, Kansas, Massachusetts and Missouri).

In looking back at UMass basketball, the program started with its first season in 1899-1900 with the first game played on Jan. 10, 1900, a 14-9 win over the Northampton YMCA.
The program had several hiatuses in its history as, this is the 100th season with the program starting 109 years ago. UMass did not field a team in 1900-01, 1909-10 to 1915-16 and during World War II in both 1943-44 and 1944-45.
Under the leadership of John Calipari, the Minutemen become A-10 Tournament Champs five consecutive times (1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96). Overall, UMass has appeared in the NCAA Tournament eight times, in addition to those five A-10 title years (1961-62, 1996-97 and 1997-98). They have two appearances in the Elite Eight (1995, 1996) and a Final Four appearance (1996). Last year UMass, went 25-11 in reaching the NIT Championship game. It was UMass' 10th NIT appearance including each of the last two season.
UMass Alum Leading UMass
Prior to McLaughlin, the last UMass alum to lead his alma mater was Lorin Ball (Class of 1921), who coached the team from 1945-52.

Hello lovelies,
I apologise for my absence which was due 2014 FIFA World Cup and Formula 1 being on the same weekend. I've spent the whole weekend in front of the TV and currently I'm waiting for the USA vs. Portugal match and I'm trying to figure out how to watch two matches simultaneously tomorrow.
Now, let's go back to what this blog is about. Several weeks ago I received the items I've picked from Born Pretty Store and this 12 Bottle set of glitter* was among them. The iridescent glitter is available in many shapes – small glitter dust, hexagonal glitter, shape glitter, caviar pearls, stripe glitter and rhombus shaped glitter. Ever since I've gotten into nail polish I wanted to try out glitter dust and I've spent hours browsing the e-bay in my search, but all the results turned out to be too expensive and/or not offering a nice color variety for something I might not like.
This set contains twelve tiny bottles and retail for $4.12. Even thought the bottles are pretty small, each contain more than enough of glitter. The glitter in my set slightly differs from the one on the site which might be due to monitor calibration. Anyway, I received the following colors: silver, yellow, green, purple, white, red, gold, turquoise, bright pink with cold undertone, orange, bright pink with warm undertone and dark blue. You can get it here and you can use my code TSG10 for 10%off.
I decided to store the bottles in a tiny jewelry box – I removed the padding and the box turned out to be the perfect size for the bottles. This way I can keep them all in one place.
Now, onto the manicure.
At first I planned to use the glitter over white, but in the last moment I picked Golden Rose Fantastic Color in #152. I used a flat nail art brush from e-bay to apply the glitter. I tapped the glitter, trying to create the gradient. I used yellow, orange, pink and purple glitter. I wasn't sure how the glitter will react with the top coat, so I snapped several photos of the mani without the top coat. It's a good thing that I did it as the top coat dulled the colour of the glitter – the iridescence makes them lean to the green side – the top coat has made this feature even more prominent.
No top coat:
With top coat.
I like how this manicure turned out, especially without the top coat when my nails look as if I dipped them in sugar.
xoxo Tamara

Re: Far Too Few
Posted by John Auston on Tuesday, 20 January 1998, at 7:39 a.m., in response to Re: Far Too Few, posted by Lounge Lizard on Monday, 19 January 1998, at 9:30 p.m.
My point is that it is always better to run many more
rounds than 25 million. Granted, depending on what you
are trying to show, this may be overkill. For example,
25 million rounds are plenty to show the % freq of running
or true counts.
But, when I was trying to contrast Hi-Lo Lite indices versus
actual indices (or perhaps it was Zen Lite, I forget), the
correct 'winner' did not show up until near 1 billion rounds.
Meaning, less than that could have 'shown' that the rounded
indices were 'better' than the actual indices, which would
have been 'wrong'.
The problem with posts that show a lot of different data,
some of which settle down within 25 million trials, some
not, is that some folks may tend to draw conclusions that the
researcher did not intend.
So, better to run more trials, just to be safe - IMO.
Personally, I would never run less than 100 million, and
often run 200-400 million. SBA makes this easy.
Especially in posts where there is the hint of comparing
one system to another, or one set of indices to another,
more is simply better. To be sure, a lot of past
research is based on samples in the few millions, but they
did not have access to the programs and computers we have
Just my thoughts.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The No. 7 University of Arkansas women's track and field team opened its 2013 season with a dual victory over Oklahoma State Friday at the Randal Tyson Track Center. The Razorbacks collected nine event titles on their way to an 81-61 win. Arkansas was paced by multiple winners Makeba Alcide, Gwendolyn Flowers, Ivanique Kemp and Tamara Myers.
"We brought everyone back a little early and we've been working their tails off," head coach Lance Harter said. "The opportunity that they'd step up and run nine lifetime PRs is more than anyone could dream of. We had some great performances. Sandi Morris was competing in her first meet for us and threatening 14 feet in the pole vault. Makeba Alcide, in a one-hour pentathlon, was remarkable.
"I think we're in a spot where our middle-distance and distance crew could do some good things. Then, Gwen Flowers ran a huge PR in the 300 (meters). I know we ran some off-distance events but I think those give us a good indication of what we're going to see next week and the weeks to come."
Myers wrapped the day with three event wins. Individually, she swept the top spot in the long jump and triple jump with personal-best marks in both events. Myers finished the dual meet with efforts of 6.10m/20-0.25 in the long jump and 12.95m/42-6 in the triple jump. With her mark in the triple jump, she equaled the fourth-best jump in school history. She also collected a win as the third leg of the 4x400-meter relay.
On the track, Flowers raced to first-place performances at 60 and 300 meters. She posted a winning time of 7.63 in the first 60-meter race of her collegiate career. She returned to the track an hour later to post the second-fastest time in school history at 300 meters, crossing the finish line in a personal-best time of 38.49, just .1 off the school record held by former Razorback standout Whitney Jones.
Replicating a pentathlon over the course of the two-hour meet, Alcide competed in six events and came away with two wins and three personal bests. She tied teammate Kirsten Hessletine for the win in the high jump and anchored the Razorbacks' 4x400-meter relay to a win. During the meet, Alcide set career-best performances at 600 meters (1:34.54) and shot put (12.23m/40-1.5), and tied her PR in the 60-meter hurdles (8.62).
Kemp was the fourth multiple winner for the Razorbacks during Friday's meet. She came away with an individual title in the 60-meter hurdles and was the second leg was the victorious 4x400-meter relay. The relay team consisted of Alcide, Kemp, Myers and newcomer Megan Paul. Kemp also turned in a personal-best time of 7.73 at 60 meters, good for second place in the event.
In her Arkansas debut, junior transfer Sandi Morris won the pole vault with an NCAA-leading clearance of 4.25m/13-11.25. She was perfect through her first four attempts before missing her initial pass at 13-11.25. Morris enters the Razorback program as a three-time All-America performer in the pole vault, dating back to the first two years of her collegiate career at North Carolina.
Arkansas picked up the win and a pair of personal-best results in the mile. Dominique Scott broke away from the pack to take the tape in a personal-best time of 4:49.74. Teammates Kaitlin Flattmann and Shannon Klenke finished third and fourth, respectively. Klenke turned in a personal-best time of 5:05.17 during the race.
The Razorbacks return to action next weekend with a road trip to College Station, Texas, for the Texas A&M Triangular. Arkansas will be joined at the meet by Southeastern Conference mates LSU and host Aggies. Arkansas' next home meet will be contested Jan. 25-26 with the Razorback Team Invitational. As part of their home slate, the Razorbacks will also host the 2013 NCAA and SEC Indoor Championships later this winter.
Friday's meet was scored on a 5-3-2-1 scale with the first-place individual receiving five points and so on. Only two competitors per team scored in each event with the top-two finishers for both receiving the points.

Images: Suriname dignitaries visit South Dakota [Image 3 of 19]
Photo by Staff Sgt. Chad Carlson
Col. Hedwig Gilaard, Suriname chief of armed forces, looks at the display of weapons as dignitaries from Suriname tour the South Dakota National Guard Museum in Pierre, June 17. The South Dakota National Guard hosted dignitaries from the Republic of Suriname for a week in June. Dignitaries were shown various military training associated with the annual Golden Coyote training exercise, which brought 2,100 National Guard soldiers and airmen from across the U.S. to the Black Hills for the two-week training event. They were also shown ongoing missions by South Dakota's soldiers and airmen conducting flood relief related missions in the state's capitol, Pierre. The South Dakota-Suriname State Partnership Program was formally established in August 2006 to develop mutually beneficial partnerships between the two entities.

Close to the Scotland-England border, Newcastleton has trails for all levels. There is plenty of fun to be had here on routes shorter than at most of the other 7stanes.
Close to the Scottish - English border, Newcastleton has trails for all levels of rider and offers a great introduction to the 7stanes. The routes at Newcastleton are generally shorter than most other 7stanes, but the high quality single-track on offer is guaranteed to put a big grin on your face!
From the trailhead there is a short but steep and exposed climb on a forest road, but the initial climbing is kept to a minimum as you are soon through a gate and to the point where each route starts properly. Here you will find the Skills Loop, packed with blue and red graded features including lots of low-level timber trail to test your balancing skills. It is an ideal spot for beginners or for even more experienced riders to practice their skills.
For those looking to stretch their legs a little more, the Caddrouns blue route at 6 kms is just the ticket. This first half of the route is on forest road, which climbs gently taking you deeper into the forest. Soon you are at the start of the first single track descent. This section will quickly have the adrenaline pumping as the trail twists and turns its way down through the forest. A short section of forest road before it's onto the next section of single-track, Pouter Lampert, the routes piece de resistance - 2kms of wide, smooth, swoopy single-track, which dips and weaves through the forest, across gullies and over boardwalks. It is a veritable grin-fest of descent, which takes you just about all the way back to the trailhead.
The Linns Route (purple grade) makes a great alternative to the Caddrouns Blue Route for those who prefer sticking to forest roads or who want to venture a little further into the forest. At 8km long and with plenty of hills along the way, this 100% forest road-based loop offers a good workout and fantastic scenery to boot.
The red route is relatively short but super sweet. From the off it's straight into the route's signature section of trail, Hidden Valley. Narrower and steeper in places than the blue single-track, the 3.5km long section is a blast to ride as it weaves back and forth across the valley side over bridges, boardwalk sections and rock drops - fast, flowing descents mixing with cheeky climbs.
Next, a long, gradual uphill stretch of forest road follows, before the route darts left on to single-track, down into the trees, over an arched bridge, onto a long boardwalk section which crosses 'The Bog', then up a short steep zig-zag climb to the road. More single-track climbing follows taking you higher up onto a lunar-like plateau. One more short climb and it is into another descent, Swarfe Hill. Fast, bermy and peppered with small jumps and drops, this section will leave you on a high and wanting more. From here the route follows the Blue Route or riders can short cut down the forest road back to the trailhead.
Finally, the orange graded North Shore Area is one of the most extensive and impressive in Scotland. With the qualifier setting the tone, the trail traverses a narrow ridge before dropping steeply down a wide timber ramp towards the main timber complex. Here, there are several lines to take, from wider flowing sections with cambered turns, jumps and drops to narrower, trickier log skinnies. All require nerves of steel and the bike handling skills to match.

I have never tried to convince you, or anyone, that cycling in the "VC manner [on American roads] is actually safer than cycling in the Dutch manner on Dutch-style separated facilities." Instead, I have consistently written that attempting to import Dutch designs into the American road system is highly unlikely to produce the supposed results of the Dutch designs, which are high bicycle modal share with few car-bike collisions.
The separated facilities, cycle tracks are the current name for such facilities, that have been installed in a few places in some American cities do not meet the Dutch design standards and it is unlikely that they can be operated in the Dutch manner.
The fact that such defective imitations of Dutch practice so strongly appeal to the general public simply demonstrates the unwillingness of the general public to adopt the safe and useful cycling practice of obeying the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles. The fact that you approve of the incompetent cycling manner of the general cycling public demonstrates that you are much less concerned with the safety and welfare of cyclists than you are with some other political objective. The objective that most obviously comes to mind is persuading people to switch trips from motor to bicycle transport.

Before and After: Silver Lake Shed And Garden Remodel
Jeremy Levine Design undertook the transformation of the toolshed into a garden retreat creating a large tilted redwood clad wall, made from recycled cuts, that slices through the house to divide it into live and work spaces. The garden outside is filled with native plants and is far from a manicured garden, instead it looks wild and natural. Palm trees were planted to grow up through the deck's roof to further weave outside with inside. We'd love a place like this to retreat to to get projects done, daydream or just spend the night. Another great example that you don't need much space to create a room of your own.

Bravo brothers make life easy for leaders T&T
Gros Islet, St Lucia – Trinidad and Tobago have now won four out of their five games in the Caribbean T20 and are at the top of the table.
Their latest win came against Windward Islands in St Lucia, and a comprehensive one at that. Windwards batted first and were restricted to 125-6, thanks to economical spells from most of T&T's bowlers. Keddy Lesporis top-scored with 31, but it came off 33 balls, and even Darren Sammy scored at less than a run a ball, making an unbeaten 25 off 27 balls. Leg-spinner Samuel Badree was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2-15 in four overs.
T&T lost openers Lendl Simmons and William Perkins inside the first five overs but Dwayne Bravo and Darren Bravo ensured there were no further hiccups. Both struck half-centuries, Darren striking four fours and three sixes, and Dwayne finishing with 62, with five fours and four sixes. Their unbeaten stand of 112 in just 68 balls sealed victory with 22 balls to spare.

re: "It was worse time to win for casey stoner because it will be remmbered as time SIC past away in motogp and nothing else."
i can't imagine what marbles are rolling around in the mind of somebody who disagrees with drdre...? it's true, a fatality of a teammate always turns victory "phyrric". maybe not on repsol, but on the larger team HRC.

UMBC Hillel: Arrival in Odessa
From March 14-22, 2010, students from Hillel at University of Maryland Baltimore County will volunteer with the Jewish community of Odessa, Ukraine.
We're here. After all the discussion, planning, and anxiety, we're here. It's been a long day of travel, unpacking, and socializing, but we are all excited for the upcoming week.
As we drove in our comfortable charter bus with several locals to our hotel from the Odessa airport after roughly 13 hours of travel, the reality of being in Odessa sunk in. Along with slums with flaming trash cans at their center, century old buildings needing repair, and dilapidated cars from the Soviet era, we saw the fronts of new businesses and architecture, stylishly dressed people going about and enjoying their day, and a sense of the newly emerging Odessa and Ukraine. As people discussed what they saw, prejudices and reality were beginning to meet…for better or worse. We look forward to seeing how these merge.
After settling into the hotel we went to dinner with about six residents of Odessa. This was a great beginning to the week. The food was great, we were finally meeting with the people we'd heard about and they were interested in talking with us. Over the meal, we discussed topics ranging from Judaism, to Levi jeans, to movies. Everyone looks forward to interacting with them more.
As I think over the day and the upcoming days, I'm anxious to make the most of this opportunity, but not sure the best way to do so. Part says go with the flow/program, another says follow some people's leads who are comfortable with Russian, another says focus on talking and building connections with the Odessan who are with us. I feel like a stranger in a strange land. Hopefully as the week progresses, the people and culture won't seem as foreign, but just another piece of the unified, global Jewish mosaic.
More photos to come!
