"There is no such limit in the ECU mapping of the 996-based cars we used for previous top-speed attempts, so we had no idea that Porsche had programmed a 375 km/h speed limit into the 997's ECU," Fatthauer says.
However, just over a week later, with the offending line of code purged from the ECU, the TR1000 ran to 392.1km/h (243.6 mph) at Papenburg. So now we know just how fast 9ff's 850-hp TR1000 can really go.
These things happen, and it goes to show that top-speed testing is just as much a science and art as any other form of motorsport. No matter how well you prepare, luck can also make the difference between just another fast run and a new world record.

The PLLs realize that "A" is not acting alone and his/her "helper" may be closer than they think in "A Hot Piece of 'A'," an all new episode of ABC Family's hit original series "Pretty Little Liars," airing Monday, January 9th (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT).
After their recent encounter with "A," Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer think they may be closer than ever to figuring out whom "A" really is. But when the girls decide to enlist Caleb's hacking skills to help with their quest, Hanna no longer wants a part of the plan. The last thing Hanna wants is to get Caleb involved in something else shady and also to open the door to questions that Hanna can't answer. Once the girls realize that "A" has a helper, Hanna has no other choice. Instead of focusing on figuring out who the "helper" is, Hanna decides to put all of her efforts into throwing a surprise party for Caleb. But will a surprise party at Spencer's lake house be the diversion Hanna is looking for, or just a recipe for disaster?
Meanwhile, Aria and Ezra must deal with the aftermath of coming clean.
"Pretty Little Liars" is produced by Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television and is executive produced by I. Marlene King, Oliver Goldstick and Leslie Morgenstein. The series stars Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Holly Marie Combs, Lucy Hale, Ian Harding, Laura Leighton, Chad Lowe, Shay Mitchell and Sasha Pieterse.

There is no more myth that penis length and girth can be enlarged in certain ways. One of the most natural method is through penis exercise. However, no matter how the technique is, this method is very time-consuming and not too significant in outcomes, except when it combined to certain supplements as 'internal intervention' that can pump more blood to the penis arteries and an ability in widening the corpus cavernosum to accommodate more blood.
Over time, the results can be significant (more than 2 inches) within short of time.
Of available methods for penis enlargement, however, penile extender device is the most used and recommended by many urologists worldwide.
Initially, this device used for helping their patients after certain penis surgeries to prevent penis shortening post-op due to scar retraction, such underwent prosthesis, or surgical procedure to correct penis curvature due to Peyronie's disease (PD).
Furthermore, the device doesn't only prevent shortening penis, but they also seen certain improvements both in length and girth.
Thereafter, they suggested this method can be used as first-line treatment for men with PD prior surgery.
Most of available studies to date agreed that traction device offering an improvement of penis length and girth, ranging from 1 inch to 2 inches for less than 6 months.
However, from certain penile extender devices, many of user found an improvement up to 3 inches or even more due to proper and intensive use within certain period (mostly around 6 months).
Meanwhile, of available penis extender or stretcher devices in the market, the most clinically tested and proven in outcomes (ranging from 1 inch to 3 inches) seem to be addressed to 3 brands of device. Most of that device use class 1 medical device, doctor endorsed, and many recommended by urologist surgeons worldwide. You can see here that devices and how it works, as well as their clinical evidences.
Overall, those with small penis either caused by PD or congenital abnormal penis shape, they should not worry anymore as it can be treated in certain ways. And this is backed with scientific and clinical evidences.

In a few weeks, we'll be able to respond appropriately to today's reading. But for now, in the middle of Lent, do you at least recognize what a surprising and sudden shift the gospel story has taken? Even though we know how this part of the story ends, the suddenness and the brevity with which the events of the resurrection are recounted is breathtaking. The first word in the 24th chapter is "But". God's word to our human choice. It seems too good to be true, and it's over too fast. I want to hear more…
I've always had a deep sense of sympathy for the confusion the two disciples walking to Emmaus experience as they are joined by the risen Jesus. They are reacting just as we would, with disappointment, fear and a sense of awe at how quickly things turned wrong. They aren't expecting God's definitive act in human history. No one really is. Not even the disciples who traveled with and studied from God's Son for three years - and heard him tell them again and again what was going to happen.
So now the mysterious stranger who appears on the road starts all over again. He begins to open up the whole of the Scriptures to these two anonymous disciples. He shows how the teachings of Moses pointed directly to what Jesus has experienced. He shows how the prophets have been pointing both to the suffering that Jesus has endured as the Messiah, as the literal personification of God's chosen people, and to the exultation that has suddenly happened.
And the two disciples suddenly start to connect the dots of the story. They recognize a thread that has been running through their story from the very beginning; and they see. It is as if the scales are falling from their eyes and they understand. But they still don't recognize who Jesus is.
It is in the final act of this short account that we learn something very important. We see Jesus is the breaking of the bread; in his act of sacrifice. It is at the moment of the fraction that he becomes manifest to his disciples. It is because he is the Lamb, he is the new Passover, he is the Way.
We don't often hear the story of the Road to Emmaus read in church. Its reading is part of Evening Prayer on Easter Day. Most of us are too exhausted by the events of the Triduum (the three days that bring us to Easter) to go back to church for one more service. But this lesson is deeply symbolic of what the Church has been doing in the days leading up to Easter. We have been hearing the stories of God and our clergy have been opening up scripture to us and showing us what it teaches about the Messiah. By the action of the Holy Spirit, our hearts have responded to these teachings. And then we have come to a moment of a shared meal. And we break the bread. We see the presentation the Messiah to God's people. (Listen carefully to what is said as the bread is broken after the long prayer recounting salvation history that follows the offertory.)
And, every now and then, the scales fall from our eyes and we see Jesus. Jesus who has been there all along, but is now revealed to us in the breaking of the bread as God's passover for us.
In my experience it doesn't happen all the time. But it does happen. And when it does I am changed, sometimes a little, sometimes a great deal, each time.
When did this moment last happen for you? Are you willing to make yourself available so that you are there the next time it happens?

Long time between posts but hey, I've realized that I am a leftist. In a purely libertarian society, the rich will always have the power and money to extrapolate further money from the poor, with the process continuing as the rich/poor gap widens. Without wealth redistribution, this will continue until the social elite possess all wealth and all power, and the masses of poor have nothing.
Socialism is a requirement for the continuation of society - wealth must exist in society (in communist states the wealth and power is limited to one potentially faltering body - market liberalism lets some companies pick up where others have fallen), as this wealth can be used to allow individual ideas to manifest in society, but this must be restrained
Social democracies allow for the continual generation of wealth, with continued redistribution to the masses. Today, the idea of market liberalism has shifted so far to the right that the rich/poor gap has widened more than ever in the past. The proliferation of the likes of Newscorp has changed the common ideologies/views of many, accepting this new social 'norm'.
I don't advocate complete sharing of resources in a communist state, but rather that the western world today is unsustainable and that humanity is suffering.
Action is needed :)
Hope that made sense :) just my own thoughts

"It's hard to describe well to someone who hasn't had anxiety issues. But if you do have anxiety issues, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The closest I've gotten is: You know, in Seven, when Brad Pitt screams, "What's in the box?!" Well, it feels like that, except there's no box at all, and Gwyneth Paltrow isn't decapitated. You just feel hyper-aware of everything going on in your body, and like you're going to die. Like, you really believe you're going to die. No matter what anyone tells you, you're pretty sure death will come in the next hour or so. Then you can't sleep. And it gets worse as you get more and more exhausted, trying to find that perfect balance of Bud Light and water that'll put you to sleep and hit your reset button on life. It can take days for that to happen, for the chemicals in your brain to even out, so you just feel normal. As I get older, that takes longer and longer. So now, I don't hit it as hard. But if you had seen me in public, you never would have known. I had learned to control it—physically, at least."
Drew Magary from Deadspin interviews comedian Mike Burns about anxiety (but mostly about @DadBoner). Hilarious, and enlightening read.

Sony Alpha a850 review
Image Quality & Value
Sony Alpha a850 review - Image Quality
Sony a850 - Tone & Exposure
Shooting with standard settings was very pleasing, with shadows and highlights being retained realistically. Switch on the Dynamic Range Optimiser (DRO) at any of its five levels and images take on a completely different light, brighter and darker areas becoming more equally exposed, though at the expense of some slight artifacts in those 'manipulated' image areas.
The odd under or overexposure did occur however, and the LCD screen's brightness wasn't always entirely accurate to that when reviewing images on a computer monitor (admittedly, a very slight difference). The +/-5 LCD Brightness compensation can adjust for this somewhat, though images playback in camera is most pleasing.
Sony a850 - RAW/JPEG
Sony supplies its Image Data Converter for Raw file processing, or Adobe's Photoshop will perform more swiftly (from Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 5.6 or later).
Jpegs are suitably sharp though can do with a bit of a boost, and the finer compression is advised over 'standard'. Real control, of course, comes from working on the Raw files directly, which are sharper, more saturated and have a much more satisfying grain-like quality.
cRaw (compressed Raw) opens up just as many options as the Raw file, though it's best saved for space-saving shooters where minor tweaks, rather than demanding, epic post-production sessions, is the most you'll be processing your files.
Sony a850 - Colour & White Balance
Auto White Balance, like other Sony cameras, tends to lean towards the cooler, bluer end of the spectrum in predominantly white settings, which isn't necessarily ideal for portraits.
In some circumstances, such as interior shots under dim light, or even some controlled lighting, the AWB leaned to the warmer end, with overly pronounced magenta tints. All in all, this makes for rather disappointing control across a variety of scenarios.
However, manually assigning white balance, using the 'Portrait' or other Creative Styles, bracketing or post-production/tweaking of Raw files will more than resolve your images to look as you wish them to. Colour in general is pleasing, sumptuous and realistic. Or, with the addition of Creative Style modes it's easy to amplify, neutralise and adjust colour manually in-camera with preset Vivid, Neutral, Portrait and Landscape modes, plus manual Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness, Brightness and Zone adjustment.
Sony a850 - ISO Sensitivity & Image Noise
A full-frame sensor should mean high quality low-light images. But, and this is a fair compromise here, such a populated sensor - 24.6 million pixels over such an image plane - undoes some of that work. Whilst images to ISO 1600 are still excellent, they don't override the low-noise of, say, Nikon's D700.
Plus with new pro-spec cameras from Canon also really pushing the ISO-boundaries not only higher but better, the Sony is better for the lower-end of ISO sensitivity, but does bring ultra-high-detail output - perfect for the studio where light can be controlled and lower ISO settings utilised.
In-camera noise reduction options (Off, Low, Normal, High) do a good job of reducing chroma noise, but when using the 'high' setting the loss of detail does overly compromise the image's final quality.
Sony a850 - Sharpness & Detail
Get the right lens on the front and the a850, just like the a900, can capture significant detail thanks to such a high resolution sensor. Both Raw and Jpeg files respond well to sharpening, though beyond the +/-3 'Sharpness' setting in Creative Styles there is no further in-camera sharpness control, bar the usual Raw file post-processing.
Sony a850 review - Value for Money
The supposed clincher of the a850 is also its simultaneous come-uppance: price. Upon initial release, the a850 was a penny under the £2000 mark - which, in many shops, was actually more expensive than the better-specced a900.
As prices do though, fluctuation has been fairly swift, with some online retailers now offering the a850 at the body-only price of £1650.
Add the 28-75mm f/2.8 lens and expect to pay just a shade over the £2000 mark - safely earning the a850 its place as the 'most affordable full-frame camera' to market. However, savvy shopping is a must to avoid over-spend, and the subtle variation in pricing between the a850 and a900 really is a touch close to the mark.

Some kind of talent boost so I sound like I know what I'm doing on guitar .
Failing that , an overdrive that sounds like a HXDA
HXDA OD pedal!
It's really hard to say though, I feel like the pedal market is super saturated. Plus I think the company strives to please players on a "guitar-cable-amp" level, where we can get the job done just by the tonal options available from the guitar controls. Of course, most of us cheat and use pedals anyway! Whatever it would be, they would really have to set themselves apart in tone and design.
Which they always do I'm just sayin

The pedal market is SOOOO over saturated right now, I don't think it would be a good business decision for them, IMHO.

I brought up pedals last year....I was shot down.
Erhm, it'll be the "Custom" pedal. It's PRS's most useful product name ever. It's used on the guitar, one of the amp models, and I can't see why it won't be used on a pedal. I have no idea how it's going to sound like, but I know for sure it'll be an overdrive/distortion pedal.

I can tell you first hand the profit margin for pedals is slim and once you figure in R+D and machining packaging, marketing , well
Its also a tough sell when Boss and others can build a nice OD for about $60
How many $150 - $200 + pedals will you put on your board ????? and then there are the multi effects units to think about.
I have been working really hard for 4 years to put my line together ( many before that ) and I can tell you that I give away far,far more than I sell.
It is really tough to get people to even check out your stuff EVEN with videos , artist endorcements ,and customer endorcments

Josh Groban Data and CD's/DVD's: Josh Groban WORLDWIDE CD SALES
***Paul Grein posted an article (6/2014) that said Josh was the #5 artist since 2000 with total sales of 22,313,000 (U.S. only) ... so I'm close!
EDITED: 9 Aug 20:49 by PILLOW_LADY
"I was also wondering about the "Noel" CD?DVD combo- do you think Target will have it every Christmas or only the regular CD?"
Lily- I think I can answer this question for you. A couple of people who work at Target in the electronics/music section told me that the special editions (CD/DVD) they get in for various artists are limited in number. Once the number that were made for Target to sell are sold out - that is it. They don't get any more in.
There may be more right now in their storehouses, but when the remaining supplies are gone and all copies are sold, there won't be any more. I was told that this is the case for all artists' special editions sold at Target. Of course, they could be wrong, but they seemed pretty certain when I talked to them.
I now have this strong urge to stock up on "Noel" combos. I believe this would be the best way to introduce Josh to someone, even though I've yet to send out all the other ones I've got and see their reactions.
Hmmm...I just got my paycheck yesterday and was gonna "check up" on the "Noel" combos at Target anyway...maybe I can spare some change?
Does anyone know how many I can buy with $200? 11? 12? ;-) Just kidding. (Not really, I have a compelling need buy more). :|
I admit I have a problem. I am a Grobaholic. Anyone know a cure? A rehab center maybe? :P

The PSAT evaluates the individuals' Significant reading skills, Math problem-solving or aptitude skills and their Writing skills as well. PSAT delivers the feedback on the candidate's strengths and weaknesses of skills required for college study. The candidates then could focus on the preparation of these areas. PSAT helps the candidates in entering the tests for scholarships of NMSC. It also helps to prepare for the SAT. It also helps to prepare for the SAT. The candidates who appear in PSAT can become familiar with the types of questions which are determined from the level of SAT.
Accuplacer is a mainframe adaptive assessment that rapidly, correctly and proficiently evaluates reading, writing, mathematics skills that are used for students' attention and grooming requirements. The Accuplacer web based application is also available for the candidates who want to prepare for PSAT programs. They can also get personalized instructions and can develop the learning skills via online learning program. The program is used by nearly 11 million of students every year, the MyLab & Mastering programs by Pearson bring consistent, assessable enhancement in candidates' learning outcomes and also the retention. The Accuplacer provides the data and few other resources that educators, consultants and administrators require for understanding exactly what each student needs and provide a strategy for success. Accuplacer configures the College Board assessment plan with the Pearson's globally proven online system. Candidates initiate with an ACCUPLACER Diagnostic that basically analyzes intellectual strengths and weaknesses also in reading and writing skills, mathematics skills like arithmetic and algebra. Its Diagnostic information helps to empower educators to discuss the remediation issues with students and develop advanced and hi-tech training and guiding strategies. Individuals and educators can visit the people discussion forums and can exchange the best applications, approaches, practices, thoughts and course related material with mentors all over the country. To work successfully with the Accuplacer, the computer system must match any one of the supported browser and operating system configurations such as Windows 8 with Firefox, Chrome or internet explorer10, 9. Another match is Windows 7 with Firefox, Chrome, or internet explorer10, 9. If the individual is a Mac user then 10.8 Mountain Lion with Safari, Chrome, Firefox should be used. 10.7 Lion and 10.6 Snow Leopard could also be used along with the match of above browsers and Safari 5. The Accuplacer may also get support by latest or updated versions of these browsers. The requirements are only for the Accuplacer itself. But the Players or few plug-ins have their own system configuration requirements.
Certification and its Importance:
The PSAT certification test contains five sections. In which there are two 25-minute decisive reading sections, two 25-minute mathematics sections and one 30-minute writing skill part. The full test takes two hours, 10 minutes. The two 25-minute decisive reading sections have 48 questions in which 13 are sentence completion type and 35 are reading type questions. In the 25 minute mathematics section, 38 questions have 28 multiple choice questions and 10 students responding questions or Grid ins. Candidates are always advised to bring their calculator. Candidates should have the basic awareness of 4 mathematics categories, i.e. Number operations, Algebraic functions and Geometry measurements.

Excellent recipe. Easy to make and the flavor is outstanding. Even my picky kids enjoyed it! I added a handful of chopped fresh rosemary into the marinade as suggested by another reviewer (great way to use the rosemary leaves since you have to strip it off the stem to use for skewers), otherwise followed the recipe as indicated. Served the Shrimp Skewers with a cup of CL Summer Corn and White Bean Soup and warm and crusty Rosemary Bread (store bought).

This was an excellent entree for my husband's and my Valentine's dinner. It was so yummy, my husband said they were as good as any shrimp he'd ever had at a restaurant. I had no fresh rosemary so I used bamboo skewers, but added some dried rosemary to the marinade. I wasn't careful about lining up the shrimp just right on the skewers, so I ended up with one shrimp that didn't brown on one side. Oops. Even so, they were wonderful.
AngelaK66 Posted: 02/13/11
We made this as written and unfortunately it wasn't my favorite. I think the rosemary flavor was far too overpowering for me. My husband seemed to like it okay, but I doubt I'll make again. Too many other CL shrimp recipes that I like better.
OKNancy Posted: 12/28/11
We love shrimp scampi and I have made it all different ways. We use a lot of fresh rosemary and loved the flavor! This recipe is amazing and the skewers look so elegant on the plate. Our new favorite...thanks!
BrennaR Posted: 06/11/12
I made this for our Memorial Day barbeque, very tasty and interesting. I used several long rosemary sprigs as skewers and cooked on the grill which I think has more flavor than a grill pan. The rosemary skewers gave the shrimp a subtle rosemary flavor that paired well well with the simple marinade. I am going to make these again next weekend for our supper club.

My Favorite InStyle Moment: In Montauk With Alec Baldwin
Photo caption: InStyle photo crew in 2000, including Angela Matusik, in green coat center, and Alec Baldwin, far right.
During my first stint at InStyle, from 1994 to 2003, I interviewed countless celebrities. I covered film festivals, award shows, and best of all edited the Man of Style column, which allowed me to sit down and probe male icons about serious subjects like grooming and footwear. The one that I love to recall the most was a story we did with Alec Baldwin in July 2000. Today, as the media world is a buzz with the news that he is "retiring from public life" it seems worth officially remembering.
The interview, which took place in Baldwin's Upper West Side apartment, was the kind every writer hopes for when hitting the record button with a subject. A natural raconteur, Baldwin can speak at ease on just about any subject you toss his way. This Q&A was light fare, and he seemed delighted that someone would care to ask his opinions on things like the art of shaving and how to dress best when in Washington, D.C. But the thing that set Baldwin apart from most actors is that he so clearly embraced the joy of conversation: He wasn't just interested in himself, he wanted to have a discourse, to make it a two-way street. It's that same curiosity one can hear when listening to his WNYC podcasts, Here's The Thing. Baldwin is a man who likes to talk—and he's very good at it.
For the photo shoot, we met Baldwin a couple of days later in his then-home turf of Montauk, Long Island. At the time he was married to Kim Basinger and he freely gushed over both her and their four-year-old daughter, Ireland. As evident from the way his eyes sparked when talking about Basinger and from the hearty belly laughs that were produced when he spoke on the phone with her, he was a man in love.
A consummate host, Baldwin insisted on showing us around the seaside hamlet, leading our caravan from one location to the next. I sat in the passenger seat of the car he drove, hoping to secure a few more tid-bits on the record before the day was done. For our last and final shot, we were searching for a hidden beach drive—a really hidden beach drive. We must have driven back-and-forth on the same stretch of beach road five times looking for the turn-off. Baldwin, clearly the biggest alpha male present and visibly frustrated, called the location company from his cell phone while driving to ask for directions. "We don't have time for this," he said in his gruff papa bear voice, "We're losing the light." (It's a moment I relive every time I'm in the car with my husband and the GPS fails. I always say, "Lets pull over and and look at the map" though we never do… Ladies, you know what I'm talking about.)
Eventually, we found the beach turn-off and scrambled over the dunes to take the photos. The twilight hues were perfect, and of course, those images ended up being the best of the day. When it was all over, Baldwin graciously agreed to pose for a group photo (above), though he so clearly had had enough of us and just wanted to get home to his family.
In his Vulture piece about his desire to retract from public life, Baldwin does not say he wants to stop acting. And for that I am grateful. Perhaps one day he'll make a movie he needs to promote and will gingerly step back into the public relations game to call attention to something of which he's proud. If and when that happens, call me, Alec. We'll have a nice chat.
—Angela Matusik, InStyle.com Executive Editor

It's Wednesday, and now that the bye has passed, we are back with our trips inside the film room. JETSerious will break down plays on the defensive side of the ball this afternoon. This morning, and every Wednesday post game, I break down some offensive game film. As anyone knows that watched the game on Sunday, the offensive game film was just that, offensive. There weren't a lot of positives to take away from this one, so let's cut to the chase. We are going to take a look at a major momentum changing play, the infamous Mark Sanchez red zone interception. This was brutal, and was case and point of what drives Jets fans nuts about Mark Sanchez. Here's the formation:
The Jets are lined up in a shotgun formation, with three receivers to the right. Dustin Keller is in the middle of the group to the right, indicated by the green circle. The key defender on the play is Richard Sherman, indicated by the blue circle. Keller is going to run a route following the green light, making his move forward, before breaking to the corner, towards the front pylon of the end zone. Let's roll it forward.
This is where everybody goes nuts. Do you see where Mark is looking? Right at where Dustin Keller is headed. The green arrow is following Sanchez's line of sight, right down the field to the right corner. Notice that Sherman, as indicated by the blue line, is staring right into Sanchez's eyes. Keller is getting ready to make his break toward the corner, and Mark is staring him down all the way. There really is no opening for Keller here, as Sherman is sitting in his zone just waiting to break on the ball. What does Mark do?
He pumps his own receiver? Seriously Mark? You make it hard to defend you sometimes, that's for sure. Anyway, Sanchez pumps once, and as you can see Sherman isn't fooled. The broken line is his line of sight, still right at Mark. Sherman is already making his move to follow Keller, as indicated by the blue line. Let's take this even further forward.
Not only does Mark miss a wide open Stephen Hill, circled in red, but in his infinite wisdom, Mark pumps his own guy again! Why? You can tell by looking at Sherman, again in blue, that he isn't buying. He has forgotten all about the receiver making the move towards the post, and has all his concentration on Sanchez, and his favorite target, Dustin Keller. Mark has to do something besides a pump fake to get himself a window, say, look the defender off maybe? If he doesn't like what he sees, he needs to throw it away or scramble and save the three points. He cannot do what happens next.
But he does it anyway. He throws it to Dustin Keller, all the while Richard Sherman is staring him down the whole time. There is ample time for Sherman to close on Dustin, and we all saw what happened so I am not going to make you see it again. Sherman makes the easy pick, and Sanchez again turns the ball over in the red zone. Mark cannot do this, but he continues to do it. That is why fans go crazy watching this guy play.
There wasn't much positive in this game, but I found a small positive. Turn the page and I will break it down.

Waddon out to emulate hero Wiggins
Rik Waddon will compete in the C1-3 one-kilometre time-trial and the team sprint
Rik Waddon has taken inspiration from the exploits of Bradley Wiggins ahead of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The 35-year-old lives in Chorley, Lancashire, near Wiggins, who became the first British winner of the Tour de France in July before claiming Olympic time-trial gold at Hampton Court on August 1.
Waddon's Mohican haircut may not catch on like Wiggins' sideburns, but he hopes to emulate, at least in part, his successful summer.
Waddon told Press Association Sport: "Bradley's one of my heroes, like Chris Boardman was in the 90s. For him to come away with a Tour de France win and then go straight into the Olympics and get the gold it's like 'wow, I'll have a bit of that'."
Wiggins' was the first of eight Olympic gold medals for Britain's cyclists, equalling their Beijing mark. Britain's Paralympic team won 17 cycling gold medals out of 44 events in 2008 and the 19-rider squad are expected to challenge the tally in London.
"There's nothing to say that we can't do the same," Waddon added. "We've carried out the same processes as the Olympic guys over the last four years, but obviously you can't control what any other nation does."
Waddon, who has cerebral palsy, is set to compete in the C1-3 one-kilometre time-trial, which is a factored competition due to a mixture of levels of impairment.
Waddon, who won silver behind team-mate Darren Kenny in the event in Beijing, is a C3 rider, so must beat the calculators as well as his rivals to prevail. C1 riders have a greater degree of impairment so their times are factored the most.
He said: "There's a lot of work to do there against a factoring system. I could end up winning, I could end up coming ninth."
On Sunday's final day of track competition, Waddon is set to ride in the team sprint with Kenny and Jon-Allan Butterworth, when Britain will be seeking to defend their Paralympic title having lost the World Championships title to China in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Exactly as pictured. Comforter is light but sturdy. Loved that the throw pillows came with it. Really brightens up our guest room :-)
I really love this set. My queen size bed sits high, so I wasn't sure the queen size would be wide enough, but it just fits and looks great! I love the shams and all the extra decorator pillows that were included. They make the bed look complete. I checked many other websites and no one had the low price that Overstock has.
I looked for a very long time to find a comforter set that has the color yellow, included a bed skirt and pillow shams, and is machine washable. This also has beautiful decorative pillows. I love everything about it. I've washed it twice, and it looks beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I would definitely recommend it.
I really like the colors in this set. I have had many compliments from friends who have seen it. I love the accent pillows that came with the set.
I bought it because of the colors and cotton material. Pleasantly surprised to see how well it goes in our master bed room.
Haven't washed these yet but they are a beautiful set.
I'm very happy with the the Bali comforter set the colors, pattern and comfyness are all great. I added turquoise sheets which goes with the colors and looks awesome with the lime green bedskirt. This was such a great value after shopping the depth stores and not finding anything in my price range that I actually liked. My room is transformed, cheery and that makes me feel good when I walk in and crawl in. I wanted machine washable and this set is. Great purchase! I could give this a 5 for the overstock price I paid, but a 5 to me would have a step up in the actual quality, and have a resort hotel style finish and stitching. I am happy with the purchase.
Gorgeous. Good quality, great price. Colors are vibrant.

Tightrope walker Nik Wallenda has crossed the Niagara Falls, and holds six Guinness World Records. On Tuesday, he crossed 200 feet over a Fla. highway.
SARASOTA, Fla. — Famed daredevil Nik Wallenda glided 500 feet across a wire suspended 200 feet above the ground on Tuesday, wowing several thousand people below in his hometown of Sarasota.
Without a tether or safety net, Wallenda was the lone figure against a blue sky, aided only by a balancing pole. He made the death-defying stunt look easy, but the performance was anything but simple: it took dozens of circus workers to pull and release the thick black cables that controlled Wallenda's wire as he walked. The morning was windier than expected, and at one point near the end, Wallenda dipped down to one knee on the wire, which led to loud gasps among the crowd.

"I have to get into a zone where I kind of forget about everything else and just focus on what I'm doing," he said shortly before he stepped on the wire. "Fear is a choice but danger is real, and that's very, very true for my line of work."
When Wallenda went to one knee, the drama reached a fever pitch.
"Scary," said Neil Montford, a vacationer from the United Kingdom, while wiping sweat from his brow and looking skyward.
Wallenda, 34, wore a gold cross around his neck and prayed with his wife, children and parents prior to the walk.
"It's my job, it's my career, it's my passion, it's what I love to do," he said.
The Sarasota City Commission allowed the stunt without a tether. Wallenda wore a tether for the first time last summer when he walked across Niagara Falls because the television network that was paying for the performance insisted on it.
Wallenda is a seventh-generation high-wire artist and is part of the famous "Flying Wallendas" circus family. His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died.
But Wallenda wasn't focused on the possibility of tragedy. In the hours before the stunt, Wallenda walked underneath the wire, which was suspended between a crane and a condo in downtown Sarasota. He spoke of his city, of the nearby sparkling bay and how he loved to hear the cheers of the crowd while hundreds of feet up in the air.

AT On... Paying More for Less
Have you run into the phenomenon of paying higher prices on products made for small space living? From small appliances to furniture to the price per square foot of apartments themselves, it seems that compact can often equate to expensive...
Where have you spent more money to live small than to "live large"? We have experienced it when purchasing a small refrigerator, the apartment itself, and cabinetry (which had to be customized to fit our tiny kitchen space).
We think we probably spend more in our small spaces because every move counts. When you're living in a small apartment, you are constantly in close contact with your furnishings, appliances, storage. So you'll pay a premium to make it nice. Also, more care in design is required to make compact electronics or efficient storage. This price is likely passed on to the consumer. Maybe as small living becomes more prevalent, the cost of living small will come down. What's your theory?

I pay more for less all the time. It's not fair.
Mostly, it has to do with economies of scale...companies make standard (read: bigger) sizes because that's what most customers buy, so the higher costs are actually cheaper per unit because so many units are made and sold.
I have found cheaper items in Europe, but I have also found that most companies will not ship to the U.S. When I am able to find the item here, it is 50% more than the one in Europe. The retailer tells me this is due to import duties.
So...I am going to start investigating Canadian companies. Has any ATer gone this route?
quality over quantity.
it is annoying. i've been looking for a small dishwasher or a single dishdrawer style dishwasher and they're stupid expensive.
Ya, I had this problem when I was looking for a fridge, I have a galley kitchen and I wanted it to be flush with the lower cabinets, but apparently only high end manufacturers (with high end prices) make counter depth fridges. So I have a monstrosity of a fridge. And what is the point of a deep fridge anyways? Stuff gets lost and goes moldy.
red.door.read, my parents have an awesome and tiny dishwasher by zanussi. you might look into them. I am not sure where they got it in the US, though...
good luck!
Since I'm single and have no kids, I'm always paying more for stuff. Going to the grocery store is a little bit of an ordeal since they sometimes have good sales on things that require you to buy enormous quantities at once.
Just like buying a designer bikini!
dja, right on about the refrigerators! Why are they so huge and ugly? Cabinet-depth refrigerators should be the standard. The jutting-out refrigerator ruins so many otherwise attractive kitchens.
I run into this dilemma in every aspect of my life. Small = more expensive. I have a tiny apartment, and I am a petite woman. This isn't a problem only in interior decor; try finding a woman's suit in a size 0 petite! Sheesh!
"Just like buying a designer bikini!"
...and Mini Coopers.
As far as furniture, it's the two ends of the sofa that cost the most money (arms, legs, etc) - the space in the middle isn't that expensive, so most 60" or 72" sofas won't cost much less than a comparable 86" or 96" sofa.
It's the same with appliances: compressors, pumps, motors, valves, transformers, buttons and electronics cost the same regardless of the size of the box that they're put into and the labor to assemble the smaller items are the same, yet smaller appliances often have lower tolerances since there's less space to waste, and they're made in lower numbers so that the cost of engineering is spread among fewer units - so the cost to build a 12 cu/ft refrigerator isn't going to be much less than a comparable 15 cu/ft, and an 18" wide dishwasher will often cost as much as a comparable 24" wide unit.
Big Chill Fridge - the studio is only slightly cheaper than the full size model, but it fits under the ceiling of my kitchen. My other option was SMEG, but the word disgusts me, the doors were made of plastic, and the price was around the same.
Hot tub - I didn't want porn-sized, so I went with a two-seater. It cost more than the four seaters from the same company.
Sheet sets - I can always wait to purchase queen or king sized sheets - when they go on sale at Bluefly, Egyptian Peddler, and Company Store. Full-sized sheets are never on sale and rarely available in the style that first caught my eye.
Good rugs - 9x12 seems to be a standard and that size goes on sale frequently. Jump down to 6x9 and the prices/discounts never follow. The turkish antique rugs are brutal in this department. Dealers usually have prayer rugs, runners, or moth food in the smaller sizes.
Yup. It doesn't bother me too, too much, but it can get erksome, when a fridge twice the size cost LESS than your tiny apartment size one.
Yep, I had the same 'problem' when buying a narrow dishwasher. I didn't get why until I read bepsf's comment above... of course!
I'm planning to move to a smaller house this summer and I started looking online to price appliances. Compact models all cost a lot more (sometimes twice as much) than "standard" size ones, which I don't need since I'm just one person (and 2 dogs). The house has a tiny kitchen and I'd gain valuable space by getting slimmer appliances (gas range, refrigerator). Unfortunately, I'm in Texas so whenever I ask for the smallest a store has, I get a funny look.
It isn't just the cost of manufacturing that goes into making things. It's also inventory, marketing, and overhead--most of which are not affected much by the size of the product being sold. Also, smaller appliances tend to be built by foreign manufacturers, whose prices are higher to begin with. It's a lot like cars!
bepsf, I agree those are probably the reasons why smaller appliances would be the same price as larger appliances, but I don't understand why I can buy a regular fridge for $200 but an under-counter fridge is going to be more than a grand.
The fact that these things aren't made standard brings up even more questions: why aren't they? Refrigerators are always hideous! Why don't more people jump on the hidden fridge bandwagon and drive the price lower?
For that matter, where's Ikea when you need them?
waitwait,theres, I would hate having an under the counter fridge. I think the way the fridge looks probably doesn't bother most people (me, for example). But I'd take a bigger fridge anyday. I had one of those smaller fridges in my dorm in college and even for 2 of us it was a pain. You just can't fit that much in it, and forget about leftover boxes. So, if you have kids, I can imagine how much more inconvenient that would be.

Exposing the real truth about Ari..
So, at two people now, I shall call them Spyro and Vulpix, for their protection.
Anyway, Spyro basically came out and told me via E-mail that the deceased Aria, or Ari, isn't exactly dead, because she isn't exactly real.
Mia, my old friend, would you like to stand please?
Anywho, Spyro basically said to me that Mia is Ari.
Let's review the evidence given, shall we?
First, Spyro said that she'd deleted something from FicWad, but 'Aria' reviewed it and at the end said 'xo Kitty'. Hmm... ring any bells, Mia? That's how you used to sign off reviews isn't it? I distinctly remember you doing that, as you always reviewed my stuff ending with an 'xo Kitty.'.
Second, when Spyro e-mailed both Mia and Aria, they were almost always online at the same exact time. This may just be a simple coincidence, but, compared to the first bit of evidence I gave, you may start getting a little suspicious.
Third, Mia told Spyro that she felt Aria was okay back in March. Hm.. how could one person feel another person is okay, when they barely even know each other? You can call it Instinct, but I call it something extremely different.
Fourth, Spyro has recently recieved an email from Miles, Aria's greiving brother, sent from an iPod. Anyone who has ever had an e-mail from Mia in the past knows that she always sent things from her iPod. Some of you may think "Oh, he might've gotten one for Christmas" or something like that, but listen to this:
Mia is short for Maria. Take away the M. What does it say, readers?
So, it comes to my conclusion that Mia basically made up this Ari character, along with her brother.
(For the evidence, read the reviews for Jazzy's poem, Sleeping Angel. Miles was on Kitty's account. How could he possibly have her account information? And, her phone number? Surely this girl must know the rules of Online Protection: Never give out personal information. Ash only got my account info because she was my collab author. That is an utterly different story.)
I'm not doing this to be hateful, I would just like to know why Mia did this to us? Why did you do it Mia?
You guys can hate me if you will, but we've had this before, remember?

The career of the late Tommy Ivan symbolizes the NHL's ancient past; an era when there were only six teams; no NHLPA; no amateur draft; no free-agency; no rival leagues; no European players; no expansion; no player agents; when the NHL was a small club that had an elite membership. That was the NHL that Tommy Ivan beheld when he began his managerial career in 1954. Who would have thought that 23 years later he would be obliged to face the above-mentioned events and deal with them as an NHL GM and, occasionally, would be burned and befuddled and bemused by these changes?
Despite his exalted status Tommy Ivan was never the stellar GM as he was a stellar hockey coach. When placed in context with his peers: Frank Selke, Sr., Punch Imlach, and Sam Pollock, his record never exceeded theirs.
Using my rating method, we find that Ivan was the second worst GM of the 1950s with a career value of -36. During the 1960s he was the fourth best GM (between Frank Selke Sr. and Sid Abel); and, during the 1970s, he ranked fourth between Keith Allen and Milt Schmidt.
In a broader context he was the eighth best GM of the Original Six Era (1942-1967) and he was the fourth best GM of the first Expansion Era of the NHL (1967-1979).
Ivan became the general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks because he had been one of the greatest head coaches in the history of the game; leading the Detroit Red Wings to seven winning seasons and playoff appearances; six league championships; five Stanley Cup finals appearances and three Stanley Cup titles. He had coached and developed the game's greatest players: Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Sid Abel, Terry Sawchuk, and Red Kelly; all this while dealing the bull-in-a-china shop qualities of his insufferable boss Jack Adams.
By 1954 Tommy Ivan had had enough. He wanted out. He wanted to be his own man and run his own show. Accepting the GM position with the Chicago Blackhawks gave him that opportunity. The Blackhawks in 1954 were a travesty; the Siberia of the NHL where other teams sent players who ran afoul of management. Ivan had a lot of work to do.
Hawks owners Jim Norris and Alvin Wirtz began to pump money into the franchise; giving Ivan a chance to develop a farm system; acquire talent; and nurture it for the parent club.
Ivan also had to find a head coach who could turn the team around. He thought he found one when the Canadiens let Dick Irvin Sr. leave the club to coach in Chicago but Irvin died of cancer after coaching only season for the Hawks. Tommy Ivan had to do double duty as head coach for a time.
(During those early years Ivan hoped to return to Detroit and replace Jack Adams as general manager. Had Marguerite Norris not been supplanted by her half-brother Bruce then Ivan might have gotten his wish and the destinies of both Detroit and Chicago would have been altered drastically. Talk about a great hockey what-if?)
Then, in 1957, Chicago benefitted from the aftershocks of the NHL players' abortive first attempt at forming a union. When the effort was smashed all the teams save for Chicago performed a blood purge on their rosters; condemning those who were deeply involved in the union to exile in Chicago. Tommy Ivan got Ted Lindsay, Glenn Hall, Ed Litzenberger, Dollard St. Laurent, and Tod Sloan. He also added Eric Nesterenko and Murray Balfour.
(In 1961, he almost pulled off what would have been the most expensive trade in NHL history: the acquisition of Frank Mahovlich from Toronto for $1,000,000).
The presence of these players from winning teams gave the Blackhawks a shot in the arm; a winning attitude.
Also the Hawks farm system was churning out young talents like Pierre Pilote in 1955; Bobby Hull in 1957; and Stan Mikita in 1958.
Later on they would add other luminaries like Phil Esposito in 1963; Doug Jarrett in 1964; and Ed Van Impe in 1966.
The Blackhawks were no longer prey but predators; making their first playoff appearance in 1959 (the first of ten straight appearances); and then winning the Stanley Cup in 1961.
On the surface the Hawks had enough talent to create a dynasty—but, alas! It was not to be.
What followed was 49 years of being denied the Stanley Cup. During those early years of the Stanley Cup drought, the Hawks became a dynasty that never was: featuring fantastic individual performances on-ice; playing crowd-pleasing hockey at its best; raising the hopes of its fans every season only to dash them with either sub-standard playoff performances or eerie quirks of hockey misfortune. The Blackhawks reached the finals in 1962 and 1965 only to be beaten. In 1966 and 1967 they endured humiliating first-round defeats.
That is when Tommy Ivan made the infamous trade that mars his good name today: sending Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, and Fred Stanfield to Boston for Pit Martin, Jack Norris, and Gilles Marotte.
Glenn Hall had left too, leaving a vacancy in the nets. There was a one season hiccup when they failed to reach the playoffs in 1969 but Tommy Ivan recouped his reputation by stealing Tony Esposito from Montreal in the Intra-League player draft. Tony E was a bulwark between the pipes and led the Hawks to eight straight playoff appearances; twice reaching the Stanley Cup finals in 1971 and 1973 (only to lose to Montreal both times).
The creation of the World Hockey Association stung the Blackhawks badly. Tommy Ivan saw the immortal Bobby Hull and Pat Stapleton leave Chicago to make more money for the rebel league.
Still the Hawks persevered and Tommy Ivan was inducted into the HHOF in 1974 before retiring as general manager in 1977. Ivan still had one last contribution to make to hockey. After his retirement Tommy served as chairman of the organizing committee for the 1979-1980 Olympic Hockey festival that brought together a pool of 90 American hockey players out of which was formed the U.S. Olympic Hockey team that won the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid—The Miracle on Ice.
He died in 1999.
(My next column will feature former Flames, Leafs, and Coyotes GM Cliff Fletcher.)

Last years and achievement
Despite these personal attacks and occasional ill health (induced at least in part, she felt, by the hostility that fueled such attacks), Eddy accomplished much during the last decade of her long life. She put Science and Health through its last major revisions, completed the formal structuring of her church by entrusting greater responsibilities to its Board of Directors, and in 1908 founded The Christian Science Monitor, an international newspaper of recognized excellence.
Eddy's death in 1910 did not end the controversy over her character or her contribution to Christian thought and practice. Today's interest in women's studies, however, is prompting a fresh look at her life and influence, and feminists have often emphasized that her work had the effect of empowering women. Indeed, as she acknowledged, hers was a life of protest against conventional assumptions both in religion and in medicine. While she was not a feminist per se, she acted outside of conventional gender roles by founding and leading a significant American denomination, and she did support some feminist causes, such as woman suffrage and the right of women to hold property. In fact, she was praised by such figures as Clara Barton and Susan B. Anthony, who expressed some interest in her teaching as well.
Yet her aim was not to overturn traditional gender roles but to reinvigorate Christianityto restore the role of spiritual healing in a living Christian faith. It is this tradition of spiritual healing that is perhaps the most controversial part of Eddy's legacy. Science is only beginning to grapple with some of the long-term questions raised by the church's practice of spiritual healing. These questions concern not only the medical evidence for spiritual healings, many of which have involved undiagnosed and psychosomatic disorders, but also the significance for religion of medically diagnosed conditions. While Eddy's character and the teachings of her church remain controversial, no single individual has focused more attention on this area of Christian experience.
