in Northern Ireland
Anton Hegarty
Anton Hegarty overcame a disabling injury to win a silver medal with the Olympic Cross-Country team in the Antwerp Olympics
The Anton Hegarty Memorial Trophy, the feature race of the North West Cross Country Championships, is run over four miles. It has been revived in the past decade and in more recent times has been named after one of Derry's unsung sporting heroes. But who was Anton Hegarty?
'He's the only athlete from this city ever to have won an Olympic medal,' explains athletics reporter Malcolm McCausland, who is a member of the City of Derry Spartans club.
'Our club used to be called Sparta, but no one knew where it was. We wanted to change our name to include a link to the city. I was going through some papers about an old club called City of Derry Harriers and I came upon his name,' explains Malcolm. 'I have been involved in athletics all my life and I had never heard of him.'
'It transpired that he held a silver medal that he won as part of the Great Britain cross country team. It's an absorbing story because there is no reference to him in the book of Irish Olympians.'
It transpires that in 1919 Hegarty was one of those who helped in the founding of the Harriers club. In that same year the club was victorious in winning both the Ulster junior and senior cross country titles.
McCausland has been trying to piece together the life story of Hegarty and hopes to publish a biography of the home-grown athlete before the 2012 London Olympics. 'I feel in a way that this story has never really been told because Derry and the North West has been regarded as a bit of an athletics back water.'
Anthony Francis Hegarty is listed in the 1901 census as having lived at 10 Donegal Place in the Maiden City's south ward. 10 year old Anthony was the sixth child of cattle dealer John and his wife Isabel Hegarty. His athletic ability was spotted during his army service, before his running career appeared to come to an abrupt end as a result of serious injury received during the disastrous campaign at Gallipoli.
'Hegarty was declared medically unfit and discharged from service,' says McCausland. 'However, within a few years of returning to Derry and getting involved in the new Harriers club, he finished second in the All Ireland Senior cross county race in Dublin.'
Ireland would not join the Olympic movement for another four years so Hegarty's chance to run in Antwerp came when he was selected for Great Britain after romping home in the Olympic trials staged in Rugby.
'In Antwerp Anthony finished fifth behind the legendary Paavo Nurmi of Finland, but more significantly it was his performance, along with colleagues Alfred Nicholls and James Wilson, that guaranteed the Britain the team silver medal.'
However, after Antwerp the trail appears to go cold on the rest of Anton Hegarty's career. It is known that he settled down in Rugby, but unfortunately he died in 1944 as a result of a road accident when he was knocked off his bicycle by a military lorry.
'I have been collecting as much information as I can about Hegarty. I've drawn a blank on where he is buried or if there is a headstone to his memory. I haven't been able to track down what became of his medal,' says Malcolm McCausland.
'The story of Anthony Francis Hegarty deserves to be told, so that the people of Derry, and indeed everyone else, know about his place in the history of athletics.'

Our Scooter Story So Far
I have been riding motorcycles and scooters constantly since i was 16 years of age. This was my first scooter bought with a loan from my father on my 16th Birthday. A Honda Camino £205 brand new on the road including a years insurance that was 1978, i am now 51. It was such a good deal, so many of my friends bought these, and we nearly all went on to pass our full motorcycle licence and then purchase many more Hondas . It was a 50cc 2 stroke and i travelled over 12000 miles in 2 years, never really had a problem apart from the fact it would stop in the rain, water on the electrics.
Many years later, i saw for sale in amazing condition a Honda C90, on a whim i bought it. I used it for the next 2 years, i loved the motor, but could not really get on with the "crash" gearbox, so i had scratched an itch to ride the iconic Honda, but it was not really for me
I then left scooters for a while, and moved onto cars and motorcycles, but then one day i bought on a whim an Italjet Dragstar all sprayed up in the Italjet Factory race colours, this scooter was really for my 16 year old son, to be honest like all 50cc scooters in Great Britain it was restricted to a maximum speed of 30Mph, it was dangerous. So a quick bit of grinding down the exhaust manifold to remove the built in restriction washer and it was suddenly up to 60+ Mph and now so much fun to ride, Very trick bike with a screaming water cooled 2 stroke motor.
As i was not able to use this scooter, i had already lost it to my son, i bought myself a 100cc Peugeot Trekker scooter another 2 stroke. This was a good workmanlike scooter, allways reliable and quite good fun to ride, similar performance to the Italjet but more torque
Then i got a divorce, lost nearly everything, so i moved to Turkey for 5 years to live on a yacht that i had bought ( this was one of the best moves i ever made, away from the rat race, and cruising around the wonderfull Turkish coast and also Greek Islands) but i needed transport for times in port. So i bought a brand new Honda Activa. This was a very popular scooter in Turkey they are made in India and have a 110cc 4 stroke motor. It was a very well made scooter, totally reliable, and cheap to buy, mine was just under £1000 on the road. We used this scooter for 2 years and racked up nearly 12000 trouble free miles.
We then had a great deal on a Vespa Gran Turismo 200 we bought this bike with only 400 miles on the clock from a local millionaire who had ordered the scooter new but with the wrong seat colour he wanted brown, i kid you not, so it had to be sold! and over the next 3 years, we brought that mileage up to 22,000 Miles all without any problem. We then sold the Vespa and unfortunately returned back to reality in Great Britain. The lady with the Vespa looking very tired is now my 2nd wife, we brought this scooter from Bodrum over to Iran, this picture was taken on the return journey, many road miles. we have now been together for over 10 years, she has a full motorcycle licence and loves motorbikes and scooters
This is a much better picture
But now we have bought 2 new scooters ready for the return to Greece, We have bought a house in Greece and because my income is internet based we will live out there, i love the Med and dislike with a passion Great Britain. Wet, Cold, Overcrowded and crazy expensive, rip off Britain.
So i have bought a 2010 Honda 125 S Wing. I bought this on Ebay it only has 1400 Miles and the condition is literally new. I dont thing you get these scooters in the USA they are a real luxury scooter, expensive in the UK but nice quality. It really rides well. Same engine as the SH125
My wife has bought an unwanted prize ! it is a Vespa 125 LX 3V and all in HP colours, It is brand new, lovely looking scooter. These scooters will be going shortly to Greece in the van and will be our primary means of transport.
That is our scooter story to date,
what is your story?

Nice intro.
I never wanted a scooter. Been with my wife for 42 years; we were high school sweethearts. I taught her to ride when she was 16 on my Triumph Bonneville. We've had a bunch of motorcycles over the years, but when we retired, she sold her last one. I had a BMW RT that wasn't getting used much because we were off cruising on our boat. I sold the BMW and about 4 months later, my wife thought I needed another motorcycle. Bought a V-Strom. Didn't ride it much, 'cause she didn't want to ride on the back and I preferred to have her along.
I was about ready to sell the V-Strom and give up two-wheels when she said, "Let's buy a pair of scooters." No idea where that came from. I did the research, we shopped around, and decided the Honda PCX would suit our needs (didn't know I had a need).
Damn! Someone shoulda told me these things are this much FUN! I look forward to any reason to get out on the scoot. Don't need a reason. I totally get the whole scooter thing, now.
This is my first wife. She doesn't let me date anymore, so will probably be the last one, too. Although I did point out an interesting motorsailor to her last year... it had been sitting a while and could be bought at a VERY good price. It needed some work, but was a good "over the horizon" boat. I took her to see it. She looked at the teak deck, the faded sail covers, and said, "You can do that with your next wife."
So, there are options.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

That first picture is not a scooter at all, but a moped. A read pedal moped. I have owned several of them, but none were Hondas. I still have a 1980 Puch Newport II that I ride around once in a while. 30 mph top speed.
And I have to agree with you about the transmission on the C90. I had one of those too. It had a rotary transmission that went around in circles, no stop at the bottom or top. And no clutch. So if you stalled it in gear at a stoplight, and a big truck was behind you, it was almost impossible to find neutral, and you couldn't just pull in the clutch and restart it in gear. Downright scary.

I have never ridden a Vespa or Lambretta with a gearbox only CVT how do they compare with the C90?
i liked the motor on the C90 but i really did not like the shifting or front suspension that was not nice.
This new Honda S Swing 125 is the business, fabulous quality but very pricey in the UK. A new Honda PCX 125 is £2600 a Honda SH125 is £2850 and the S Wing 125 is £4000 or $6500 so it was not a big seller !!!
i bought mine for £1800 with only 1500 miles on the clock, i love it.
My wifes Vespa was won in a prize from HP. The winner does not ride so we bought it on Ebay. New in the UK they are £3000 this one was £1800 so major league bargain. We have been lucky with scooters recently

The C90 has that weird clutchless transmission which I never got the hang of.
A CVT scooter is a get on and ride proposition, no clutch. The biggest drawback to this type of scooter is it's very limited gear range. It is impossible to keep the engine spinning in the powerband on small displacement scooters while climbing. You expect the scooter to slow down, but the engine slows down with it. You cannot keep the engine running fast while the scooter is going slow. A manual transmission scooter, like the old Vespas and Lambrettas have a much lower gear, so you can keep the engine spinning fast while the scooter is going really slow uphill. Small engines make power with rpm, and you need to keep them spinning when you need more power, like while climbing. A CVT will not allow you to do this. Another issue with CVT scooters is the drive belt. I just had a nearly new belt break on me 35 miles from home. It could have been several hundred miles, and I would have been in trouble. I did not expect such a failure on a Japanese scooter with an oem belt. Now I'm not sure just how far I trust belt drives, and every single scooter sold in the U.S. has one.
The manual shift Vespa is a lot easier to shift than a C90, and has a clutch. Both the clutch and shifter are on the left handlebar side. The clutch lever works in the normal way, and you twist the grip to shift. The whole thing turns, clutch lever and all. Very easy once you get used to it. And no getting stuck on the road with it in gear. If necessary you can just pull in the clutch and push it off the road.

The C90 is not clutchless.
It's a semiauto-clutch with a 3 speed synchro transmission.
It has a stem off the shifter shaft that works a release mechanism on a adjustable ramp that pushes in the clutch when you depress the gears, either up or down. So the transmission is not engaged with the engine when the gears change.
When you release the shift pedal the clutch re-engages. It's quite simple and very positive.
The only thing analogous to it is the old Fictel-Sachs Saxomat 'automatics' used with old SAABs and VW Beetles and Type III's, and they used engine vacuum servos and electric contacts.
The auto part of the Honda semiauto clutch engages normally when you rev the engine up from idle.

Man I really dig the modern vespas! I have a feeling I may bid farewell to my ninja 250 this spring and start the hunt for a gt200, gts,250 or maybe even a s150.

What I meant was, it didn't have a manual clutch. So if the engine stalled in gear on the street, in traffic, you were stuck. You couldn't just pull in the clutch and push it off the road. And it was much more difficult to find neutral because of the weird shift pattern. instead of 1-N-2-3-4, and then back down again, it just kept going, in either direction N-1-2-3-4-N-1-2-3-4-N over and over again. So it was easy for someone familiar with the standard STOP 1-N-2-3-4 STOP motorcycle shift pattern to get lost

There is an art to riding these bikes well. You'd think semi-automatic=easier. Nope. I find that I can ride smoothly if I shift into second relatively quickly, or start off in second and make my way to third fast. I corner in third gear a lot. When stopping or slowing down I wait til I'm almost stopped before taking my foot off the lever to engage second ... otherwise its abrupt and the tire chirps. Takes practice but once you got it, you got it.

In terms of my scooter story, I rented one in Victoria BC back in 1990 and was hooked. I got my motorcycle license two years later, rented another in France, bought my first scoot in 1997, a Honda Elite 250, paid $600 for it. I've owned other bikes before and after but will always have a soft spot for scoots. I've owned 6 or 7 in total.

In financial markets, underweight is a term used when rating stock. A rating system may be three-tiered: "overweight", "equal weight" and "underweight", or five-tiered: "buy," "overweight," "hold," "underweight," and "sell".
If a stock is deemed "underweight" the analyst is saying they consider that the investor should reduce their holding, so that it should "weigh" less.
For example, if an investor has 10% of their stocks in Retail, 25% in Manufacturing, 50% in Hi-Tech, and 15% in Defense, and the broker says that Retail is "underweight", then they are implying that a smaller percentage of the stocks should be in Retail.
The stock's total return is expected to be below the average total return of the analyst's industry (or industry team's) coverage universe, on a risk-adjusted basis, over the next 12-18 months

Botox could become known as the Jekyll and Hyde of the drug world.
On the one hand, the nerve-paralysing agent - one of the world's most powerful poisons - is the subject of a safety review by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of fears that it can spread to the brain, leading to breathing difficulties and death.
On the other, the drug beloved by celebrities around the world for its wrinkle-removing properties has been hailed as the aspirin of the 21st century, with the power to treat a growing range of disorders.
Botulinum neurotoxin type A - sold commercially under the name Botox - disrupts nerve signalling by targeting SNAP-25, a protein that helps carry neurotransmitters between adjacent nerve cells. It causes botulism, a paralytic illness that can be fatal.
Clinicians have assumed that the powerful poison is safe for use - including for cosmetic purposes - because studies suggest it sits at the site of injection and does not spread through tissue. That may be an assumption too far, however.
Smoking gun
"Those studies were based on the tracking of toxins radiolabelled with 125-iodine," says Christopher von Bartheld at the University of Nevada, Reno, US. Botulinum toxins labelled with iodine stayed put, while similar tetanus toxins spread from the point of injection, he says.
But botulinum is extremely potent, he explains. "A few molecules - maybe even one toxin molecule per synapse - can block neurotransmitter release at that synapse for many days."
Matteo Caleo of Italy's National Research Council reasoned that tiny quantities of botulinum - too small to trace by radiolabelling - are strong enough to interfere with nerve signalling elsewhere in the body.
So his team tracked the spread of botulinum using a "smoking gun" method - they looked for the fragments of SNAP-25 protein destroyed by botulinum.
Toxin spread
Caleo's team injected rats with botulinum neurotoxin type A at various points in the face and brain. In all cases, they found evidence that the toxin spread from the site of injection after just three days.
Rats given Botox to their whisker muscles, for example, had the tell-tale signs of botulinum activity in their brain stems.
"The fact that three different neuronal populations transport botulinum neurotoxin type A makes us suspect that this spread is a common occurrence after toxin delivery," says Caleo.
It's a result that echoes other recent findings. Last month, Walter Herzog at the University of Calgary, Canada, and his team reported that injecting botulinum neurotoxin type A into a leg muscle in cats affected the strength not only of the muscle targeted, but also of the neighbouring muscles.
Human dangers
Botulinum neurotoxin type A is the subject of an ongoing safety review by the FDA. In February, on the basis of a growing body of evidence that the toxin can spread from the site of injection and cause breathing difficulties, the FDA notified the public of the potential dangers.
"Most of the cases that we are concerned about have been in paediatric patients who have been treated for spasticity," Russell Katz of the FDA said at the time. "There has been at least one death attributed to these distant effects."
But Caleo is not convinced that his new evidence for the spread of botulinum is necessarily bad news. "Whether the distant actions result in 'negative' or 'positive' effects remains to be clarified," he says. "One might imagine that some of these distant effects are even beneficial for the patients."
Giampietro Schiavo of Cancer Research UK agrees that the spread of botulinum from the point of initial injection might open up a new avenue of therapeutic benefits.
"I think that Caleo's perspective comes from another of his recent studies in which his team found they could use botulinum to block epilepsy," he says.
New aspirin?
Epilepsy is a nervous system problem due to the abnormal firing of nuclei deep in the brain. Caleo's team found they could reach and silence a number of those nuclei with a simple botulinum injection, because the toxin spreads from the point of injection. "That is totally unprecedented," says Schiavo.
Schiavo says that the toxin is safe for cosmetic use if administered by a properly trained physician. The problem is not everyone administering the drug is what Schiavo would call "properly trained".
Erle Lim and Raymond Seet of the National University of Singapore have fewer qualms. Their article - Botulinum toxin, Quo Vadis? - published in the journal Medical Hypotheses notes that, after 25 years of use, botulinum shows promise as a therapy for a huge range of conditions, including solid tumours, joint diseases and bronchial asthma.
Botulinum might even treat acne. The indications, they say, are that the toxin could become as versatile as aspirin.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Hundreds of mourners lined up in the vast open plaza at the heart of Brasilia, Brazil's modernist capital, to honor internationally renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer during a Thursday memorial in the city that most strongly reflects his signature style in its monumental buildings of flowing concrete and grand, sweeping curves.
Niemeyer's remains were flown by presidential plane to the capital from his native city, Rio de Janeiro, where he died Wednesday night at age 104. Elisa Barboux, a spokeswoman for the Hospital Samaritano in Rio, said the cause of death was a respiratory infection.
Elegantly attired in a black suit and matching hat, Jose Grilo, 70, was among those lining up to honor the architect who brought grace and flow to a city erected on an immense arid plain. His parents were laborers, two among the droves of Brazilians who flocked from all over in 1960 seeking work and a better life in the brand new city.
"I grew up seeing these buildings and always admired Niemeyer," said Grilo. "I always dreamed of meeting him in life; now I can see him in death."
After the flight in the plane loaned by President Dilma Rousseff, the remains of the groundbreaking architect rested in the presidential palace, a deceptively simple building of glass and concrete that seems nearly weightless, an airy glass structure held aloft by vast, curving white pillars. Immense white ramps unspool from within the structure. It was on the main walkway that the mourners marched in to see the creator of these quintessentially Brazilian forms.
A young architecture student, Daniela Menezes, also in the long line, saying Niemeyer was an idol and the reason why she wanted to become an architect.
"I grew up in Brasilia, and have great pride in this admirable man," she said.
As an artist, Niemeyer favored cold concrete and glass, but as a man, he was regarded with great warmth by the population. This affection was visible as the funeral cortege paraded his remains through Brasilia, between the airport and the presidential palace. People simply stopped what they were doing and applauded.
After Thursday's vigil and public visitation, his remains will be returned Friday for burial in Rio, where the governor, Sergio Cabral, has called for three days of mourning.
"His manner was gentle, his convictions were firm, and he was loved by the Brazilian people," Cabral said in a statement.
Born into an elite family, Niemeyer was a lifelong communist who took a stand against social inequality in one of the most unequal nations on Earth, though he held no illusions his work could create a more egalitarian nation.
Rousseff described Niemeyer as "revolutionary," saying in a statement that he was "the mentor of a new architecture that was beautiful, logical, and as he himself defined it, inventive."
Sergio Magalhaes, president of the Brazilian Institute of Architects, said: "Beyond being an architect, Niemeyer was a man ahead of his time, who stood in solidarity with the people and who was loved as few have been."

Karrie W.: Man that flex belt sounds GOOD!!! How long until you loose the stomach fat miss diet?
Anonymous: yeah Atkins isn't my kind of diet either, too strict and who wants to eat meat all day? not me. I bet if you just start eating less carbs you would see some stomach fat go way. The Flex belt looks to be mostly for toning abs muscles which i think is for me.
belinda J: have not started a stomach fat diet yet but have been thinking of the Abs diet, bcs it sorta seems like it makes sense. also been reading different ab machine and ab belt reviews. I like the sound of simplicity of the Flex belt over teh Ab circlp Pro but still want to know more.
Frank77: The chick from the ab circle pro is HOT though! Is flex belt more for chicks are for dudes?
Hailey R.: On the Flex belt video I watched, yeah I saw some pretty hot men AND women using it. I mean, these people had ZERO STOMACH FAT & that's my goal, with whatever abdominal toner works best.
Anonymous: Id say some COMBO OF a stomach fat diet and using the flex belt can get you there -but you have to want it and WORK! ITS NOT ESAY but results RULZ!
SAm: Well you would'NT see the stomach fat, it would be hidden behind the flex belt
devonrexLOVER: I am reading of various stomach fat diet which include no carbs and lots of good protein, LIKE. So I can try this and a flex belt and I am doing PIlates. Yeah, I sem crazy but I am so ready to feel sexy and confident!
Dolores: South beach is a great one for ppl who want to get rid of stomach fat. HEy question : where do you keep the remote attached to the flex belt when you run? in your hand?
chip: running with the flex belt sounds like great stomach fat burning exercises & cardio all in one. sure can't get that with an ab roller. btw, does no carbs = no beer??
HILLARY: a flex belt could be a proper slution but that is, if I change my eating habits. I love chees eand bread and wine and I knwo a losing stomach fat diet is going to mean a lot more whole green foods a lot more water and not eating my faves. can I do it? is it worth it? id ont want to be heavy. I am starting to really feel it and i want to live a long good life and feel pretty like I used to be!
TheoD: YOu guys are smart to think about food. I wonder what the test subjects for the Flex Belt ate. Did you all read where it says 100% of them noticded some kind of firming or reduction in stomach fat with this toning belt, that's pretty cool.
Adam E.: ummm sso can you use an abdominal toning belt while running/walking?
Dancer: Hey yeah, u didn't watch the flex belt video? ppl doeverything while getting their stomach fat workout, my kind of workout.
SoapOperaDIva: EXACTLY, they say they do anything while wearng the fLex belt. Could sit& watch soaps & fold laundry while getting in a stomach fat workout at the same time. Multitasking at its BEST.
ShawnaKelly: I always thought a Stomach fat workout had to involves crunches ans situps which SUCK – now I knoew more and am learning about flex and other belts which is exciting because I love technology and plan to use it to my advantage. YESS
CJ: I guess that's why flex belt is more expensive than the Ab Roller…still need to think about it.
Joshua L.: yeah but can't do obliques with the ab roller can you? I know you can with flex belt but how about the ab rocket?
Anonymous: Is Malibu pilates a stomach fat workout> Or is it for tonng up the core? I am very confused!
GGG: how does the flex belt compare to the vibro belt i seen that online for cheap & seems alright for stomach fat too.
Susan&Greg: What are you all suddenly talking about, other ab belts, an ab rocket and ab roller wheel, i mean yeah there are tons of other gadgets, just do a google comparison search, i bet you find somethng. I thnk this seems liek one of the higher quality products but, it all depends on what your looking for i guess.
William_K: Not too familiar with the spec on vibro belt but that thing is huge! I think that's why i don't know too much about it, i really like simplicity of the design in the flex belt. I need to learn more about EMS though….can you burn stomach fat too?
Jennifer: Yeah pretty much just tyring to pick the best device to help me get a flat stomach and hopefully loose the stomach fat. These are the ones I'm thinking???
1-Ab rocket
2-Flex belt
3-ab circle pro
4-ab contour belt
What you all think?
DAVID: I SAY 5-Stomach Fat Diet!!!!!!
christine K: LOL stomach fat diet! that's not so nice. but i think he has a point whatever you choose you gotta eat well. i'm leaning towards an abs belt, still not sure the diffrence btwn flex belt and ab contour belt.
Anonymous: the flex belt for me seems like I would use it most often, but I think the ab rocket looks very interesting also for stomach fat exercises. I am torn – cause I cant get both but I need both desperately. UG!
Jessica: The flex belt or the ab contour belt!! Would need to read soem ab belt reviews to compare. Def not ab roller, my back is a mess!
Linds: Well the Ab Rocket does not seem as portable, which is cool if you mostly do your stomach fat workout at home. But if you travel & wanna keep consistent, seems like a Flex belt or other REAL DEAL abdominal toner might make more sense.
Stan H: HEy I like the ab roller. SIMPLE AND CHEAP. ppl only complain when they get lazy about their stomach fat diet & workout routine.
upinHERE: this is crazy. I am just like so many of you, ready for weight loss unsure how to achive it. but I know a stomach fat diet is important. that and getting exercise.
Kenneth: dude i am not lazy!!! But i can think of better things to do than crunches!
GORDY99: What's wrong with crunches? They may not be fun but they WoRK, the tried & true, never fail method for abdominal toner and getting rid of stomach fat. Seems like even this flex belt does some kind of simulated crunch motion.
allison: NEVER had an issue with stomach fat but this baby weight has GOT to go. HAve no time for anytiing else…
HElena: It could be really funto use a flex belt …especialyl if I saw results. but will I use this any more than the other equipment I dont use at hoime it looks cool but gosh, I need this to work. i am sick of being chubby I wna tto lose stomach fat NOW!
Joseph A.: So no one voted for the ab rocket? i thought iT looked okay.
Carmen: SOmeone asked about the Flex belt vs Contour Ab belt, is that ab contour belt FDA cleared too, anyone know?
Robert: *****FYI Looks like you can compare the ab rocket and more ab stuff on the flex belt site. I don't really need to now….*****
mrsmitchellwatson: well id on't really know what i like yet. still trying to figure this all out, you know, you watch one infomercial & are like, wow that is the coolest hting ever, then you see another and go hmm. so,a flex belt or an ab coaster, pilates or yoga, maybe all a matter of personal preference.
Monica: Any one here think that crunches sucks???
Anonymous: I am going to have a small wasit this summer if I never get to eat pasta I DONT CARE
mike: CRUNCHES SUCK
Sam_413: I KNOW CRUCNHES SUCH THAT S Y I WANNSA BELT TO BURN BELLY FAY AWAYYYYY
JAN: Well you don't have to do crunches to get abs, pilates offers many exercises just for the core and/or of course you can use and ab belt too.
rachael Ann: can we compare malibu pilates to the flex belt? i love the long & lean look, does an ab belt tone the core muscles the same way????
Anonymous: WELL the malibu thing or not…there are all kinds of ab products and exercises & they can take long to do and Learn. I think consistency is key & right now thats my problem, I feel like the flex belt thingy looks good.
Louanne: I am pretty sure you can compare the spec btw malibu pilates and the flex belt online, just google compare….
SHEILA: but what BOUT a stomach fat diet?! cant I eat any chicken or wraps? or is it all salads and sit ups?! NOOOO LOl. I knwo there are other ways, but I wam ready to get serious. whats next?!
michelle: hey this site right here has a whole recipe section, maybe check there?
norma: yeah some of the newer devices do seem complicated adn pilates looks hard for beginners/ i don't know i think i like the idea of an abs belt to just wear and not thnk about so much what your doing.
Jeremy F.: I think depends on how much stomach fat you have to loose. I would eat the salad and the chicken without the wrap if i had to loose a lot but i am sure a whole wheat wrap cannot be that bad but either wat exercising the abs with flex belt seems like the right think to do to me.
Number 9: I think the major difference btw contour ab Belt and flex belt is the batteries. flex belt is rechargeable i believe and contour abs uses 4 AAA batteries or something like that. Oh and the design is different too.
EricaHill: I hope to get progress by using a flex belt – or another belt – still researching but this seems like it has the technology? to help lose stomach fat so you dont have to do a thousand crunches or go to the gym, which I loathe.
Anonymous: Oh, THx! good to know, rechargeable seems way easier than dealing with AAAs. If all else is equal, the flex belt might be the abs belt for me.
Mark: What exactly is a stomach fat diet?! I am so new to all this but I must say the ab belts make it look easier than it used to be to loose stomach fat.
sunnydays09: I just read 150 crunches per session, how long is a flex belt session?
Linda Miller: think i read one flex belt session is like around 30 min. about how long it takes me to prep dinner.
BK64: pretty sure I've NEVER done 150 crunches at one time, what does it feel like with the flex belt compared to usig an ab roller?
Mike: THINKING THE FLEX BELT cause I dont wanna do a stomach fat diet – I WANNA EAT CAKE!!!
Paula: Who doesn't want to eat cake seriously? I think I think I rather have no stomach fat and a nicer boy friend!!!!
AllanMS6: You have to get serious about stomach fat diet and fitness. I am already going tot he gym but plans to step it up and take it to the next level with an ab belt. a really good one. which is why I am reading all available ab belt reviews.
Colleen: Can you do crunches while wearing one of the sauna belts?
michele H: please ppl, let's not talk about cake in the middle of my stomach fat diet!!!!! i wanna forget about the junk food and focus on toning my abs,with either an ab rocket or a b belt like the flex belt. just have to find the one i can stay committed to.
Robert Jasper: Think something like the ab FLex is gonna get the ab muscles toned best, go running if you r loooking for stomach fat burning exercises, a little ol ab belt won't be enuff.
KIM: MY GOAL IS NO STOMACH FAT PLUS A TAN SO WHATsIT GONNA TAKE THE FLEX BELT & WHAT ELSE? DON'T SAY SRAY TAN PLS!
WIlliam: What kind if diet are you doing? Must be hard because you sound pretty frustrated!!
Tania: will the flex belt make me more FLEXIBLE?Q?Q?Q
Justin: Well i bet you are trying to sound funny but it's actually a good question because i believe the more muscle strength you have the more flexible you will be. From what i understand the flex belt is supposed to strengthen your abs muscle.
kendra harrington: maybe if you do yoga with it on?
Samantha: Nah, my yoga time is just for yoga, i don't want to do anything else while my body meditates! I can barely stand it when ppl talk during class!! I would use the flex belt while running to doing laundry though.
lil_randie: yeah that s a good idea. i like yoga too for the quiet & peace of mind. but if the flex belt is making ab muscles stronger then, yeah, using it at different times might be beneficial for gaining strength in the core & flexiblity too. I've heard that its better to work out different muscles groups on different days, and to also mix things up periodically, for optimum results. is that what muscle confusion is, anyone know?
Leslie: I don't consider yoga to be for fitness, i don't get all the fuss around it!! I think it's just an excuse for people to wear their fancy lululemon clothes!!! gimme a break!!! – If i had a flex belt, i would most likely use it when I am NOT working out.
Anonymous: Well you are just silly! I just read that Jessica Biel practices yoga and that's why she looks hot!!! I am not saying that's all u have to do but that and a good stomach fat diet sounds like a great combo to me!!
Jaime: I would try PIlates or malibu pilates not yoga, not for me,. i like fun exercises with music and dancing but I also like to try a flex belt or another belt that workes solely the abs cause I want a flat stOMach for once. I have t cut out carbs – now.
Mike: Well it's not because you like one thing that you have to hate everything else! I am not married to situps and crunches i like my stomach fat burning exercises but i am also open to the idea of an ab belt like flex belt or even the contour Ab belt!
Veronica Clarkson: AN open minded man, that's what i like to see
HS: Sorry this may upset a lot of people, but a lot of stomach fat is NOT sexy, male or female. EVER.
Paula: I am so sick of stomach fat – but I love to eat! esp butter and chees.e so… I need either a flex belt or a machine that is very portable and compact and easy to use. I am just not sure how to approach this diet thing just yet.
Big D: Ha, well that's what the wife keeps saying. Figure its tome to look into some kind of abdominal toner, and an ab shocker seems sort of a no brainer. The FLex belt the same for men and women right?
huggytimeallthetime: yeah i saw that the flex belt is for both men and women. BTW from what i understand this is not a fat melter! it makes crunches happen and we all know crunches are good for ab toning not fat melting.
CHeeseLuvR: i don t like my belly rolls either. i hope the flex belt fits over my stomach fat.
Anonymous: Do you think it's better to wait to loose stomach fat or can we start working out with an ab belt while dieting and loosing weight?
KAtherine: My metabolism is slowing way down, I need a stomach fat diet ASAP! Any ideas or inspiration?! How about low carb dieting with a flex belt? Anyone I mean really still go to the gym?! LOL
nina B: my thoughts, if u have to lose weight, dive right in. use toning belts, eat better, exercise more, lift weights, just do it. because, i think if you use a Flex belt for stomach fat burning exercises you'll see your abs faster – BEATS DOING A FAT NADA.
Martha: The South Beach diet I've heard is suppose to be a good stomach fat diet, or there's always Weight Watchers. And I would also say YES to the Flex belt ab toner.
Will: yeah south beach diet i hear is good. I am just scared of diets, i eat pretty well but now that i need to loose some fat, i am just thinking about if increasing my cardio and maybe ride my bike more…
Hannah: The Flex belt or the contour belt for stomach fat? I am ready to commit to a diet and exercise program BUt I want the best equipment and the one I will USE?!
mr_jimmy: think someone already asked about contour ab belt vs the flex belt, they seem really similar. i think the flex belt might be more convenient, with a rechargeable battery & all, plus, it seemsto have the best ratings.
S.H.Carter: QUESTION: do you still need to do crunches or situps once you have a six pack?
Adam S: Riding the bike more, great idea. What kind do you have?
deb b.: at the gym, i LOVE the elliptical machines or step classes. at home, dance videos are lots of fun. get creatiVe with your cardio & stomach fat burning exercises. Don't give up!
Brian: i think the flex belt is about the same as crunches, everyone still has to do cardio. ITs not really a matter of one or the other. Its like, do cardio, but then do you want an ab roller or an ab belt. THAT's what you got to think about.
Michael: YOu can walk, hike, ride your bike, do a zumba class……so many options, jogging is not the only cardiovascular exercise you know.
Kristen_May: ZUMBA IS A BLAST! MAYBE that + the Flex Belt = less stomach fat?
Kim: yeah I have read most ppl who are just starting with the flex belt start at the20-30 range, 99 sounds super intense! There are some videos on youtube.
Carolyn: Oh i didn't know you could adjust the intensity. COOl.
Norm: Ok, so its between 20-30 then, good to know. ANd then how often do you start increasing, like every week, every few days, or less often?
Vanessa: This info is right on the flex belt site.
Anonymous: Hey do you all think the Flex Belt would make a good baby shower gift,or would that be insulting? I mean I think it looks like an excellent way to tone post-baby.
CHRIS: Well unless it;s your very best friend plus baby showers are gifts are for the baby not the mom right?
Anonymous: HAHAHAHAHA THX!
datsun_74: well like other people have said you should def find a cardio routine & stick to it, plus eat well. the south beach diet seems like a good one for stomach fat diet or maybe the abs diet, anythig that involves whole foods & complete meals i think is probly a wise choice, good luck!!!
Peter: HAHAHAHAH touche!!
Leslie A.: umm that's if you can dance!! I took a zumba class one and made a fool of myself. I can't dance for sh#t. NOw if i had an ab belt i would just walk with it! They say you can burn a lot by walking.
CaraYoung: OK so your saying that maybe walking IS a good enough cardio exercise? I think I could handle that. Does wearing a flex belt or any kind of ab toning belt make you SWEAT more??
Sally&James: OK well, tHis Flex belt sounds cool to do contractions for you & all but where can I FIND a b belt to MELT FAT???? THAT's what I want!!!!!!
Janet: maybe the sauna belt or the belly burner? Not sure i works though. I think it more realistic to workout and eat well of you want to to get rid of fat.
gkdavidson: only think thats gonna really melt the stomach fat is to get off yur butt and do some hardcore cardio. we all wantto strap on an abs belt to melt away our sins but life just ain't that easy, sry.
Austin_Jim: thi s thang looks like da b*mb!
Kay: NO FRIES IF YOU ARE WORREID ABOUT YOUR BIG OL STOMACH FAT PROBLEM!/
Anonymous: Well, that's just it – there ARe a lot of things to consider when it comes to weight loss and getting in shape. I would say, 45 min of cardio 3-4 days a week, plus some strenght training and ab toning, with an ab circle pro or a b belt, whatever you like, and really watch your simple sugar & carb intake, that right there will make a difference.
Norm: What's the average setting for the FLex belt for a stomach fat workout? 1-150 seems like a real wide range, lots of room to work with.
Anonymous: Have seen some of these ab chairs at W*lm*art. ANything that involves sitting on the floor in a contracption or a chair thing or whatever and having to THINK about moving around and crunchin is out for me.

There is a need for Nigeria to have a football playing pattern hence, the move to sign a Technical Director, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has said.
Chairman of NFF's Media and Publicity Committee, Emeka Inyama said this at a Press Conference on Thursday in Abuja.
Inyama explained that the decision for the NFF to sign a Technical Director had nothing to do with the much publicised disagreement between it and the Super Eagles' Head Coach, Stephen Keshi.
He revealed that the football tactician, when employed will design a pattern for Nigeria's football which would be adopted by all the National football teams.
"What we have always said is that there is a need for us to develop a structure and a template for football development in this country. That is the beauty of a technical director. He doesn't coach the teams but he will be able to say this is the mode of scouting, equipment and so on.
"Every federation in the world has it. Even at club level, they do it and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
He assured that the tactician will not interfere with the job of Head Coach of the Super eagles, Keshi.
Inyama did not however, reveal the time the Technical Director would be hired.

How it happened:
In a carbon copy of the previous game against Orlando, the Knicks shutdown the Magic in the second half and especially in the fourth quarter en route to a 113-97 victory on Wednesday night.
After allowing Orlando to shoot 52.5 percent from the field, 40 percent behind the arc, and 51 points, New York tightened the screws in the fourth quarter. The Knicks held a slight six-point advantage entering the final stanza but blasted the road squad on a 15-7 run over the first 6 minutes of the period.
New York's double digit lead was built on a much improved defensive effort on the two prolific guards in the Magic backcourt. J.J. Redick scored 17 of his 29 in the first half and Jameer Nelson dropped 19 of his 21 in the first 2 quarters of action. Meanwhile, the Knicks started to find gold by sending alley-oops to Tyson Chandler for an aerial assault Orlando could not defend.
Chandler was a strong force in the paint with 21 points, seven boards, and five assists as New York improved to 28-15 and winners of two consecutive games at the Garden.
Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points and needed key contributions from his teammates to notch the win. Raymond Felton came out aggressive with 12 points on a flawless 5-for-5 shooting in the first quarter. The starting point guard finished with 15 points and nine dimes.
The second unit crew was impressive as well for New York. Amar'e Stoudemire hit all seven of his field goal attempts in 20 minutes of floor time, J.R. Smith scored 11, and Pablo Prigioni helped ease the absence of Jason Kidd (sore back) with 11 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
Knick of the Night:
Chandler did not practice on Tuesday afternoon due to a strained neck but the big man fought through the adversity and delivered a brilliant performance tonight. He was nearly perfect, hitting 10-of-11 shots from the floor in 32 minutes of action.
Statistically Speaking:
Anthony set the all-time franchise record with his 30th consecutive 20-point performance. The Knicks All-Star passed Richie Guerin on the list by hitting a trey in the fourth quarter to push his total to 20.
Looking Ahead:
The Knicks will hold a practice session on Thursday afternoon at MSG Training Center to prepare for the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. The contest against Milwaukee will be the first of a back-to-back set at home with the visiting Kings in town for their lone trip to MSG.

The Relief That Nutella Is Meatless, It Was Mighty
I'm house-sitting for a friend while her and her family whoop it up on the East Coast for Easter.
Her house is like a second home for us, so my kids feel super comfortable rifling through her drawers and cupboards. It didn't take them long to find the Nutella.
In an even shorter amount of time they were outside eating bread smeared with generous portions (because I CAN be a Fun Mom every once in a while, dammit) and I was alone with the jar and a large spoon. Let's just say that me and the Nutella had a moment. As soon as the wonderfulness hit my tongue my eyes rolled into the back of my head and the swear words just started flowing. Like, "Oh My Word, this is SO F***ING GOOD!"
I was halfway through my second spoonful when I froze in panic. Wasn't there something about a special day? And not eating something? And it was VERY IMPORTANT not to eat it? And was I eating that thing I wasn't supposed to on this special day? And OH MY GOD…
I was flooded with relief when I realized that the hoopla in my brain was just about not eating meat on Good Friday. And I was totally fine to keep eating the rest, I mean, that spoonful of Nutella.
Indulging in the forbidden and all that swearing and blasphemy reminded me of a post I wrote about Good Friday three years ago, back when I only had one kid instead of two to worry about damning to hell if I slipped up.
Not A Good Day For Shishkabobs
Apr 10, 2009
I don't think Jesus is going to strike me down for eating meat on Good Friday. But Gilberto's mom does.
Every year we forget that the Friday before Easter is Good Friday. It just doesn't cross our minds. So every year Gilberto will call me in a panic after receiving a call from him mom bright and early in the morning.
Gilberto: Laural! We can't eat meat today! DON'T EAT MEAT!
Me: Gilberto, that's silly. You know it doesn't matter if we eat meat today.
Gilberto: Just don't do it, okay? Better to be on the safe side, you know?
Me: Honey, nothing is going to happen!
Gilberto: OH MY GOD, JUST DON'T EAT THE F***ING MEAT TODAY!
Me: Okay, fine, whatever.
And I don't. 'Cause I'm a good wife like that.
This year his mom called while he was driving to work. The calls are actually quite funny. She says hi and wishes him a happy Good Friday, to which he expresses surprise, and she freaks out that he didn't know and could've eaten meat, and he gets upset that he almost damned his soul, and she spends the rest of the conversation making him promise over and over again that he'll stay true to his roots and not eat meat, and he spends the rest of the conversation promising. And then he immediately calls me.
I got my Good Friday wake-up call at 7:00 this morning.
Gilberto: I can't eat the lunch you packed for me, it has meat in it!
Me: What? Can't eat the lunch? Oh, is it Good Friday? Did your mom call?
Gilberto: YES, she called. Or I would've eaten it! It would've been awful! I could be in hell right now!
Me: It's not like I tried to poison you! I just forgot! My goodness.
Gilberto: Laural, just promise me that you won't eat meat. And that includes Gabi.
Me: Gabi?
Gilberto: DON'T YOU DARE FEED MEAT TO MY BABY TODAY!
Me: Okay! Chill out! I wasn't planning to!
Gilberto: You'll be sorry if you give her any meat. Just sayin'. Love you, bye.
The warning isn't without warrant, because the rebel in me is already wanting to do something sinful like roast a pig on a stick on the back patio, or eat a cheeseburger for lunch, just to prove him wrong. But I won't. Plus, Gabi's old enough to tell on me.
No meat today.read more

St John Ambulance in collaboration with several partners is constructing rescue centres along the Great North Road from the Mombasa port to the Malaba border post. The regional commissioner in charge of St John Ambulance Services in Western Kenya Alex Ouma yesterday said the rescue centres are being built near accident black spots to offer pre-hospital emergency medical care to victims.
He sai the centres will also offer capacity building programmes. Ouma said the Petroleum Institute of East Africa and Toyota Kenya are among the key partners supporting the venture. Ouma and his executive officer Fredrick Makhatsa proposed that county governments partner with St John to have an efficient ambulance service with 47 control points to offer emergency services when disaster strikes.
The duo spoke when they paid a courtesy call on Bungoma Deputy Governor Hillary Chongwony at the county headquarters. They were accompanied by the local county coordinator for emergency services Catherine Wanyonyi, Habil Sumba, Geoffrey Wekesa, Shadrack Masinde and Job Bwanjila.
Ouma and Makhatsa asked county governments to offer land on which to built resource centres. They said St John Ambulance is ready to partner with county governments' staff in the provision of emergency medical technician courses and to recruit additional volunteers from communities and schools.
Chongwony asked the officials to provide their strategic development plan to offer the county government insight into the specific areas of collaboration so they can serve the public better during emergencies.

Groundwater battle looming in Poway
Maderas Golf Club wants to resume pumping groundwater to irrigate course
POWAY It's a fight that began 14 years ago when the Maderas Golf Club began filling its ponds with groundwater pumped from beneath its newly constructed championship golf course in the exclusive northern hills of Poway.
Neighbors said their wells — for many, the only source of water feeding into their luxury homes — were going dry.
Told by the city to stop pumping two summers ago, the club now wants to resume partially irrigating its course with groundwater in order to save a lot of money.
Poway officials are not commenting publicly on Maderas' request.
"The city thinks it premature to be meeting with the press about the project," said Jason Martin, senior planner. "We are not complete with our review and we're compiling more information .... there are some things in the works right now. We need to let things settle."
Homeowners and golf course officials, however, appear to be gearing for battle.
In 2000 the city entered into an agreement with Sunroad Enterprises — the owners of Maderas — that allowed the company to use its wells to partially irrigate the golf course. There were many conditions, including constant monitoring of groundwater levels. If levels at nearby wells dropped beyond a specific level, the city had to be notified and had the power to force Maderas to turn off the pumps.
In August, 2011, that's exactly what happened. Since then, the golf course has had to use raw water that comes directly from the aqueduct that later feeds into Lake Poway to irrigate its course at high cost.
Now Maderas is coming back before the City Council — tentatively as soon as July 16 — asking that its permit to operate be modified. Sunroad has spent a great deal of money on study after study that it says proves that Maderas' wells are not the cause of their neighbors low water levels.
Some estimate the company could save $300,00 to $500,000 annually if allowed to use its wells.
But opposition to any modifications to Maderas' permit is being fought hard by neighbors, many of them wealthy residents of homes along and near Old Coach Road, and by others who fear that the golf course's pumping will cause long-term, irreparable damage to their wells and to the aquifer that sits beneath them all.
They too have spent money on studies that essentially conclude that more research needs to be done to figure out exactly what effect Maderas' wells have had, and will have, on groundwater levels all over northern Poway.
The Friends of Blue Sky Canyon Ecological Reserve, roughly a mile and half from the golf course, has recently asked the council to deny the modifications.
"The riparian habitat of Blue Sky Ecological Reserve depends solely on the Sycamore Creek watershed," wrote Bob Kiang, a director of Friends of Blue Sky in an email to the city. "If the aquifer under that watershed is depleted, there will be no more Blue Sky. Because of that, Blue Sky would strongly urge the council to not grant the CUP modification."

David Morrissey: 'The Walking Dead' ruined 'Mad Men' for meAdd to Favorites | The Walking Dead
David Morrissey just made a big return to "The Walking Dead" as the menacing Governor character this past weekend. Monday night (Nov. 18) on "Conan," he says people love to hate him -- and that the show kind of ruined "Mad Men" for him.
"People run up to me all the time and say, 'I hope you die soon' and I take it as a compliment," says Morrissey. "I was in the post office once and there was a woman in front of me waiting in line and she turned around and saw my face and dropped to the floor, said 'Oh my god, I hate you' and she ran out. ... That's a great reaction."
He goes on to say that the "Walking Dead" cast and crew aren't messing around -- they're filming in the blood and the guts and the Atlanta humidity.
"The show is about people who are really up against it and in this terrible world. ... The show, for me, has ruined 'Mad Men.' I used to love watching 'Mad Men,' but now I watch it and I think 'There you in your air-conditioned studio, in your nice suit, drinking' and I think, 'How can you pick your check up at the end of the week?'" he cracks. "Come on our show for a week."
And would Morrissey ever want to be a zombie?
"If you're a zombie, if you ever see the makeup team do the Plaster of Paris for your zombie makeup then you're really running out of there. I don't ever want to be a zombie, I love being the Governor," says Morrissey, adding that he likes that the show isn't afraid to kill off its characters.
"I like the fact that it's a show that kills off its actors, though. It's not like a 'Star Trek' show where you've got four guys beaming down and there's one guy you've never seen before and you know he's not making it back to the Enterprise. ... No one is safe on our show and that's the way we like it."
"The Walking Dead" airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

text: Hi, Lots of different bits of info, so I hope this email doesn't get too long, for your sakes!! 1) A Maker Faire guy named David would like to encourage BBC focus (I think) which is here in Bristol, to do a program on makers here in Bristol, which could tie in to the faire. Also they are happy to showcase anything and I listed a few recent things we've done, and it may be we can take lots of it to the Newcastle faire too (awaiting confirmation of this) - is anyone into going/driving even? 2) I read the small print for the bike power people's pngs (here: http://sparror.cubecinema.com/tziteras/images/dorkbot/ ) and they want to get a 3d laser printer too, and want to work with other people to get it together. Interested? I'm guessing the answer about the proposed bike power project is "no" though. 3) About Wikis, as a way to communicate towards getting a hackspace going (with possible ideal location the suggested rail bridge by Temple Meads), I joined the hackerspace jabber list and irc channel and http://code.google.com/p/hackerspace-os/ was suggested - it looks brilliant although some of the text is in german - including billing system, gallery, project manager thingy, projects organiser and it's all web based. Also I'm quite sure we can run an IRC channel somewhere quite easily. Anyone care to set one up, and see if it gets anywhere?? Other suggestions also accepted! Marcus is happy to use the Cube Cinema's Sparror independent server to host a wiki. 2600nl have also offered to host, and other suggestions will be brilliant! Ideally I think it would be good to do our own server though at some point, and I think someone has already registered us a domain?... Finally here is a brilliant starting point if anyone else wants to help us to figure it all out: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/attachments/1003_Building%20a%20Hacker%20Space.pdf This presentation suggests the 2+2 rule - where 2 people start things going, who need to be joined by 2 more once more things need doing. 4) I went to the "shop shop" meeting here at Coexist (the real name of Hamilton house, confusingly). The shop will be run cooperatively by the artists and residents based here, including Bristol Wireless who will supply a computer. There was lots of enthusiasm for a display area, gallery space, resident/project info area and other spaces which we have access to whilst the hackspace is here. They are really into displaying things we make or even selling things. They really liked the idea of selling or "demonstrating" the ganzfeld devices, and I'm even harbouring the delusion that I might be able to get the whole idea on to a PCB and make a really cheap one!! I just put it all up on google code. The shop would also be able to buy things in larger quantities and offer a supply of materials to the artists here, as well as using their left overs. Pity to be leaving, it's a nice bunch of people including a recycled paper making factory. On the other hand, it may be that this studio space I'm using could be kept on as a shared office/mini soldering space, as I'm getting good deal and have only taken it on 'til March. Again, what do you think? Just suggestions... Coexist has got a ning site which looks quite active: http://coexistmeltingpot.ning.com/ See you here next Tuesday! Or are there any scouting missions planned, to the temple meads place? :) Ale -- ~The Cycle of the formation and disintegration http://alefernandez.org.uk/ of the universe influences the formation and disintegration of nature, which in turn is closely related with human life" - Yasuji Kimikura

Canopic Jar Lid
The eyes and eyebrows of this female head were once inlaid. Their shapes, the woman's smiling little mouth, and the holes in her lobes for earrings suggest that the head was carved during the reign of Amenhotep III or one of his successors at the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty or, more probably, during the Nineteenth Dynasty. The flaring wig is hollow, a feature that suggests this head was not part of a statue but was made as the lid of a jar. However, in this period, canopic jars, made to contain the internal organs of the deceased, had lids in the shapes of gods' heads. Human-headed jar lids are rare.

Electric sports car packs a punch, but will it sell?July 20, 2006
(continued from previous page)
Altair makes the nanoparticles in Reno, Nev., and then ships them to Asia for packaging into battery cells. The cells then return to the U.S. and get assembled into batteries in a facility in Anderson, Ind.
LA Auto Show
Changing the anode material does reduce the ultimate performance of the batteries. In a notebook, an Altair-like battery might only give a user a four-hour charge, versus a six-hour charge with a high performance lithium battery, said Gotcher.
But the Altair-style battery will store more energy than a conventional car battery, which explains why the car manufacturers are intrigued and the notebook manufacturers are less so.Plug-ins going mainstream
Major manufacturers are also now key players in the electric car market. General Motors Chief Executive Rick Wagoner, speaking at the opening of the Los Angeles Auto Show, said plug-in hybrid technology is a "top priority" for his company. The company is working on a plug-in hybrid version of the Saturn Vue sport-utility vehicle, although he didn't say when such a vehicle would be available commercially. It's not quite the same as an all-out electric: a plug-in has a gas and electric motor, but the electric motor can be charged from a wall plug.
Also at the auto show, GM will show off a pair of current-generation hybrids: the Saturn Aura and the Yukon sport-utility vehicle. And a host of manufacturers, including GM, BMW AG, Honda and Nissan, will demonstrate hydrogen-powered vehicles.
That still leaves the problem of charging the cars. So where does the quick charger come from? Neither Phoenix nor Altair will say. A company called GreenIt says it will build rapid-charging stations for electric cars.
Phoenix will only produce around 500 cars in 2007, but hopes to expand production to more than 6,000 in 2008. It will primarily sell cars to fleet purchasers, i.e. government agencies and companies with large groups of outside representatives. Some government agencies are already buying up plug-in hybrids, which are close to electric cars.
The two companies demonstrated Phoenix prototypes at trade shows this year. In April, it will show off a model at a taxi trade show in New York; the taxi commission there has set out goals to reduce fuel consumption.
"Their battery removes a lot of problems with lithium-ion batteries," said Bryon Bliss, vice president of sales at Phoenix.
Additionally, the company is getting a lot of interest from consumers, and it may start selling to them in two years or so. At $45,000, the truck will cost significantly more than your average $20,000 pickup. Nonetheless, a full charge that will carry a driver 100 miles or so only costs about $3.
Trucks and SUVs get typically 12 to 24 miles per gallon and few expect gas prices to plummet anytime soon.
Electric cars have another advantage, Bliss said. The parts don't burn out as fast. The Altair battery has a lifetime expectancy of about 12 years, longer than the 4- to 5-year life of conventional car batteries. Electric motors also eliminate a lot of moving and breaking parts.
"With our vehicles, there is no maintenance," said Bliss.

7. With the car's original coral paint showing again, we drilled out the spot welds, then split the rest of the quarter from the jamb reinforcement.
8. Next, we moved to the trunk area and split away the gutter area around the trunk opening.
9. With the old quarter completely removed, we scrubbed the inner quarter with a heavy wire brush, then treated it with Eastwood's Fast Etch rust remover. It eliminates rust while leaving behind a zinc phosphate coating as it dries. After that, we used Eastwood's zinc-rich galvanizing compound to prevent any further corrosion.
10. Before setting the new quarter in place, we installed a new outer wheelhouse seal, which goes between the house and the quarter.
11. After setting the Real Deal Steel quarter in place, we used clamps and the old door latch assembly to hold the panel in place up front, plus other clamps around the rear flanges.
12. The Real Deal Steel factory quarter-panel fit like a glove. The trunk gutters were a perfect match to the originals on the car, the doorjamb slid easily into place, and we swore the thickness of the metal was a heavier gauge than the original we removed. The quality was exceptional.
13. With the panel clamped securely in place, we double-checked the alignment, then started welding up by the roof brace. We used our Eastwood MIG Spot Weld Kit (PN 13901) to attach our new quarter. The special tip that comes in the kit allows you to simulate factory spot welds and works with any MIG welder.
14. From there, we moved down into the trunk gutter.
15. After the gutter, we moved up to the doorjamb. If you have rust or accident damage to the brace or inner structure, Real Deal Steel also sells replacement panels to fix this. The part number for the passenger side brace is HCDJPR-567, driver side HCDJPL-567.
16. Going underneath, we spot-welded the quarter to the inner rocker. We didn't fully spot-weld down here because we might need to adjust the inner rocker that had already been replaced before.
17. The last part is welding where the quarter meets the rear inner fin panel. Originally, there would've only been some spot welds on the inner flange to hold these together, then the seam was filled with lead and covered over. We don't like the idea of loading that much filler into the body, so the talented Greg Lovell of Antivenom Performance welded the two pieces together along the seam. After welding, he ground down the welds on the seam and smoothed them out.
18. And here's what we've got. This entire part of the car is now brand new, no filler, no patches, and rust free. Our '55 is finally starting to look like a car again. The Real Deal Steel factory quarter really impressed us with its quality, fit, and relative ease of installation. In the future, we'll cover how to drill the proper holes to attach the Bel Air/210 trim on cars so equipped.

Yes it does sync with MS Outlook if you download the Nokia 6600 PC Suite.
True, but two things to note:
1) The 6600 Suite is just as flaky as other versions of the Nokia's PC Suite. It does not install and work easily, the installation manual is wrong and activating synchronization is cumbersome.
2) There is NO support in the 6600 Suite for SMS messaging and apparently no support planned. This means you cannot send or receive SMS messages to/from your computer.

Measurements for XS/S:Length: 32"
Bust (all around - relaxed): 23"
Waist (all around - relaxed): 20"
Armhole Drop: 6 1/2"
Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 8 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by t0rrid As pictured Nice but relatively basic bodycon with pretty cut-out detailing at the waist. The cut is simple and somewhat boring; I wouldn't pay full rrp but it was worth the sale price. The mint colour is a little more intense in person, but still nice for pairing with toned down/neutral cardis or other outerwear. Material was thicker than expected (the ribbing effect is particularly raised/textured), which i appreciated - however I still need to lose 1-2 pounds before wearing this (bought xs, 5'2, 102 lbs), as it really does highlight any flaws in your figure! 10.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rukawata nice and show curve Got it in black xs/s. It fits perfectly. Love the small pattern on the wrist, bring the sexy to the next level! 8.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by marlee I love it! I bought this in black xs. i'm 5'1 and i think it's a good length, with the dress being so tight i think the dress being longer on me makes it look a tad bit more modest. It's flattering and the cutouts aren't too revealing. I think for the sale price it is worth it! Though, if i could change one thing it'd be that the material would be a bit thicker. it's thin/stretchy type of material that shows any lines 8.22.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by snhazzy Cute dress This dress is super cute. I love the waist cut outs, and it's super flattering. Unfortunately, I'm 5'2" and it's just too long on me to be a going-out dress.. it goes down to an inch above my knee. I will reluctantly be returning this one 7.24.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by japsparkle Ok This material is stretchy and thin. Don't think its worth the full price for quality. The fit is tight. Im petite 5'1". Got it in the blue color. Just a typical bodycon that is over priced. Returned. 6.30.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by M87R could be better I got this in the rose colour, its a bit of a dustier rose than pictured, its more flattering on me so im happy about that. Im normally an M but right now im an L on my bottom-half, it definitely fits more like an M than L. It also rides up a lot because the ribbing is vertical which is annoying-when taken out of the bag it looked extremely short, until its stretched down over your body once you pull it on, so it likes to shrink back up shorter while youre wearing it. My black underwear could be seen a bit through it. The waist detail is lovely though. 4.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by studio Flattering and comfortable Got the black in XS/S, fits true to size (usually wear XS). Very flattering. I like that the general design of this slip with the not-too-deep V neck, the keyhole in the back, and the cutout pattern at the waistline is suggestive without being tawdry. Comfortable: This slip does not feel tight or binding. Rides up a little with movement, as most FP bodycons tend to do. I am petite so this is not a big problem for me but it could be for tall girls. 3.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Knockout I purchased this in black in the XS/S and the fit is perfect. I'm only 5'2" so it is a little longer on me than on the model. Fabric is forgiving and not totally see through. You can hide a bra without the straps showing if you wanted to. Cutouts are subtle, and show just enough skin without being too peekaboo. Keyhole on the back sets this one off from other bodycons. Easy to dress up or down. 3.18.2013

Lapland - S/T/
Singer/songwriter Josh Mease chose his new musical alias Lapland while browsing the bargain stacks at a neighborhood used book store. Lappland Wanderland, a book illustrated with distant, often barren landscapes, seemed the right inspiration for Mease's own new work, a collection of self-produced, one-man-band and DIY tunes created in a something of a self-imposed musical 'exile' in his one-bedroom Brooklyn apartment. Mease's new moniker also indicates a new direction and a fresh start. The self-titled Lapland project (March 26) comes four years after Mease's sparkling 2009 debut Wilderness, an album praised for it's exquisitely crafted songs and gentle, intimate approach to alternative pop. That songwriting skillset happily remains in full glory as Mease's new songs, a mix of soaring melodies and beautifully turned hooks, take on a bolder, more contemporary production sound. Strummed acoustics and glittering keyboard chordings abound alongside Mease's tender tenor vocals but songs like the synth-driven "Unwise" (listen below) bring in a more prominent electronic pulse to Lapland's ethereal tone. "Where Did You Go", meanwhile, chugs amiably along armed with an infectiously melodic chorus and Mease's multi-layered vocals.

It is Google media service running all the time. I've enabled it only during boot but not after boot. Battery drain is moderate.
