Behind the fitting-room curtains women of all shapes and sizes squeeze their bodies into swimsuits and bikinis made often with only three idealised shapes in mind. And women are not generally shaped anything close to their own ideal, never mind that of a swimwear company.
A perfect cup size will not usually correlate to the hip measurements designed to go with it. And vice versa. Why bikinis are not sold in separate halves like knickers and bras, with proper underwear sizing, is a mystery. And as for selling one-pieces in measurements as vague as "S", "M" and "L", where is the sense in that?
No two women have identical body shapes, as Debenhams discovered when it recently commissioned an independent survey of British women's sizing. Forty per cent of the 2,500 women measured had different-sized upper and lower bodies. And only a third of those studied were wearing clothes that fitted them properly.
Not surprising, really, when you consider how limited the options on sizes are. When it comes to buying swimwear, the problem is magnified.
On The Independent's fashion team alone, there are figures that range in shape and size from what our stylist Sophia describes as her "world of plenty", with a cleavage for which many women would go under the surgeon's knife, to our writer Melanie's svelte, slim runner-bean figure for which those who hadn't opted for the splendid poitrine would submit themselves to the most excruciating liposuction.
As for me, I would class myself - without wanting to put myself through the rigours of a tape measure - as a "medium", with some excess baggage around the hips and middle that I would much rather leave at home. No matter what our shape, however, we are all in agreement that when it comes to exposing our bodies on a beach or next to a swimming-pool, we would all be grateful for a little bit of extra help.
The intrepid Sophia set out to trawl the swimwear departments of Harrods and Harvey Nichols, which between them have a good selection of the designer, the practical and the sporty. For women with big busts, her advice is to forget under-wired swimsuit and bikini tops unless they are the right size. "If the wires aren't in the right place, don't buy it," she says.
Instead, go for a vest and knicker set with hidden support. Marks & Spencer have ingenious Lycra vests with the modern-day equivalent of boning hidden in a layer inside. If you have the budget, however, invest in Liza Bruce, the swimwear designer who works in industrial-weight Lycra to keep the most lively of figures firmly under control, whether for swimming or playing volleyball on the beach. For women with long or short torsos, the vest and knicker option is also recommended, so you don't have the problem of a swimsuit being too tight or too loose at the crotch. You can wear it so that it looks like an all-in-one, adding length to the body, or with the top rolled up when you want to slap on the UV protection and catch some rays.
For those wanting a bit of support all over Calvin Klein's all-in-one with detachable halter strap has boning in the bust seams, a support panel at the tummy and some extra grip and uplift at the bottom.
For the great British pear shape, La Perla has just the thing: a one- shouldered bathing suit takes attention away from the offending hips. It is also relatively low cut on the leg so you don't have to go for an all-over body wax every time you go for a paddle.
Slim women who go straight up and down are not usually allowed to complain about their body shape. But Liza Bruce - again - has a swimsuit that will make the stringiest of string beans look as curvy as Marilyn Monroe - well, almost. A black panel in the middle covers the parts you don't want to expose to all and sundry, while mesh side- panels become invisible when wet and create the illusion that you go in and out in all the right places. Obvious, really.
And if your body doesn't correspond to any of these, do not despair. It's not your body shape that is the problem, it's the swimwear manufacturers.
They would argue that they do not have the resources to cover every body shape and size. But help is at hand. Margaret Ann, an underwear, corsetry and swimwear specialist in Warminster, offers a huge range of sizes from a size 30AA up to a 56E bra in both bikinis and one-piece suits.
The company also has a mastectomy service - as does Splash Out, a Worthing- based swimwear company that will even make a swimsuit to your specifications. To have an individual pattern made costs pounds 15-pounds 20, and a made-to-measure swimsuit costs from pounds 29 for a plain style and pounds 31 for a patterned one. Off the peg is also available and suits can be altered by designer Maureen Smyth for as little as pounds 1. Nothing, however small, tall, wide, lob-sided, round or wide, is considered a problem.
And that way, you don't have to suffer humiliation in a fluorescent-tube- lit department store cubicle. Happy holidays.

Recreation Fees:
Demonstration Program Successful in Raising Revenues but Could Be Improved
T-RCED-99-77: Published: Feb 4, 1999. Publicly Released: Feb 4, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6082
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the recreational fee demonstration program, focusing on: (1) ensuring that future revenues can be applied to the agencies' highest priority unmet needs; (2) coordinating fees between agencies at demonstration sites that are close to each other; (3) being more innovative in setting fees; and (4) assessing the effect of fees on specific segments of the population.
GAO noted that: (1) the demonstration program gives opportunities to collect new and increased fees to the major agencies that provide the public with recreational opportunities on federal land--the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service; (2) the four agencies reported that, because of the program, their combined fee revenues have nearly doubled, from about $93 million in fiscal year (FY) 1996 to about $180 million in FY 1998; (3) this extensive new revenue allows such sites to address past unmet needs in maintenance, resource protection, and visitor services; (4) the Park Service and the Department of the Interior recognize that certain sites may be able to quickly fix all of the problems that meet the demonstration program's criteria; (5) providing some further flexibility in the spending of fee revenues would give agencies more opportunities to address their highest-priority needs among all of their field units; (6) the demonstration program was authorized with the expectation that the four agencies would coordinate their fee collection efforts, both among themselves and with state and local agencies, where it made sense to do so; (7) demonstration sites may be reluctant to coordinate on fees partly because the program's incentives are geared towards increasing their revenues; (8) by contrast, because joint fee arrangements may potentially reduce revenues to specific sites, there may be a disincentive among these sites to coordinate; (9) in addition, there is currently no formal mechanism or entity within these agencies charged with pursuing opportunities for more and better coordination; (10) as a result, GAO's review showed that coordination among the agencies occurs infrequently; (11) without such a person or group pursuing opportunities for better coordination, this lack of coordination among the fee sites is likely to continue; (12) the demonstration program also encouraged the four agencies to be innovative in setting and collecting their own fees; (13) GAO found many examples of agencies experimenting with ways to make payment more convenient; (14) however, GAO found fewer examples of the agencies experimenting with different pricing structures that could make the fees more equitable; (15) of the 206 sites in the demonstration program in FY 1997, 58 percent had increases in visitation, 41 percent had decreases, and 1 percent were unchanged; and (16) the demonstration has brought millions of additional dollars to recreation areas across the country with little or no impact on visitation patterns.

Kundan Zoya News
Raanjhanaa movie review: Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor entangled in the game of love and politics!
The movie took us through different emotions and circumstances, some we could relate to and some that will linger in our minds for a long time
If you asked us to describe Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor's Raanjhanaa, we would say it's commercial and offbeat at the same time. The first half is pleasantly filmi, laced with romance and the childish high of being in love, whereas the second half takes you into the murky world of politics, with the passionate youth of Jawaharlal Nehru University trying to douse the fire of corruption and everything that's affecting the country.

Listen Listening... / 4:15 WRTI's Susan Lewis speaks with guest conductor, Bramwell Tovey. What's the Power of Music? Ask Conductor Bramwell Tovey By Susan Lewis • Dec 14, 2015 Englishman Bramwell Tovey is an accomplished pianist, composer and conductor.

Management Prof to Discuss Benefits of Corporate Governance
Professor Parthiban David, the Kogod School's Collins Chair in Strategic Management, will present an interactive lecture in Miami on Tuesday as part of American University's Faculty on the Road lecture series. It will be the first lecture of the year for the series.
David's presentation is entitled "Strong Business Means Strong Corporate Governance: Why Greater Oversight is Good for Shareholders and Stakeholders." His discussion will focus on research that he conducted with two colleagues from the University of Oklahoma, which was compiled into a paper that the team has submitted to a prominent management conference.
The three professors tried to discover what kind of governance mechanisms would be best for managers in dealing with conflicting pressures from the public and shareholders.
"Public corporations are under great pressure to be better corporate citizens, to be more responsive to societal stakeholders and sustainability," David said. "Yet public corporations are under even greater pressure to cater to their primary stakeholder - shareholders - by maximizing shareholder wealth. These two goals – social performance and shareholder performance – are seen as mutually incompatible."
In researching this dilemma, they looked at a study of 892 firms in 32 countries and in 18 industries from 2002-2007. They found that "strong governance is not just good for shareholders, but also for stakeholders," David said.
David has had several peer-reviewed articles published in management journals and serves on the editorial boards of three journals: Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management, and Journal of Management Governance. He currently teaches strategic management courses at Kogod.
The presentation will be held following a cocktail reception hosted by Dean Richard M. Durand at the EPIC Hotel in Miami. The event is free to alumni, parents, and guests; please RSVP using the link to the right.
Associate Kogod Professor Mark Clark will present at a Faculty on the Road event on April 29 in Boston; he'll share his research on teambuilding and leadership at the America's Cup sailing regatta.

If you have a generic built in video card …even though you can run Vista on a box, you might find that you don't get that… "That" is the Flip 3d feature. I was loading up Vista from the TechNet Download only subscription and realized that I didn't know how to activate 'that'… that three dimensional window thing that gets oohs and ahhs… well it's because the video card I have won't support it….. good to know that Vista will still run…just not be as "pretty".
So if you install it and you don't get that view…. look at your video card…
One Thought on "Lesser video cards on Vista"
All of this fluff for Vista proves beyond doubt that anyone having to do telephone tech support with Vista is in for a harder time than they could ever imagine.
The days of saying, "Got to start, run… click on…. open this…." will soon be, "click on the third window, 2 sections into your desktop, and bring it to the front…."
I say again to Microsoft…. a few simple things:
Stop wasting so much time and money on fluff and get the operating system solid so we can all get on with living rather than patching.
Get the operating system packed into ONE UNIT. Unify the experience for everyone rather than creating the home and business editions. Makes purchasing easier, support easier, but hey, maybe it kills MS profits…..

The goal of this study was to characterize the dynamics and functional connectivity of brain networks associated with fast (short-term) learning of handwriting using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Participants (n=12) performed a graphomotor sequence learning task (naïve subjects learning to draw simple, three-stroke Chinese word characters), which focused the learning process on the kinematic aspects of sequence learning instead of on the production of the line segments. Learning of the graphomotor sequence was demonstrated by a progressive improvement in movement smoothness as assessed by normalized jerk scores. Examination of the patterns of regional neural activity and functional connectivity during sequence learning demonstrated that cortical regions, which may support visuomotor mapping components of the task, were active prior to sub-cortical areas that may play a role in encoding and refining the novel sequences. Importantly, differences in the time course of recruitment of basal ganglia and cerebellar networks suggest distinct but integrated roles in the encoding and refining of the handwritten sequences. This implies multiple kinematic representations of graphomotor trajectories may be encoded at various spatio-temporal scales.

Joshua Orrwrote a question about 686 Limited Edition Snaggletooth Tooth T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's on September 7, 2010
does this shirt fit as square as it...
does this shirt fit as square as it looks?
i shred
does this shirt fit as square as it looks?
So I absolutely love the All Black/Brown, but I'm concerned-as an outdoor grave shift worker-will I be able to read this watch in the dark? Because I'm not allowed to have my phone on me, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Anyone know the inseam of a size 30? I'm a tad tall, and often find jeans too short for comfort.
These headphones are cheap, as is the quality of them, but that's totally what I expected when I got them. I must say though, I am not at all disapointed by them. They are loud, sounds are good enough for just going for a ride or hanging around my pad. The different size inserts are good, my ears need the small ones, but they still tend to get sore after a couple hours of use. Overall though, for the price I paid, I can't complain, they are good enough to own, yet cheap enough to not care when they break.

Ok, so I originally gave these guys a three star rating, and ranted about how terrible they are-but I am taking it all back now after giving these guys another shot.They have a nice low rise, and a good fit around my thighs, I'm 5'10" 145lbs, and normally wear a 30, but the waist is a little loose with these, so I coulda gone a size down easily. They make me think og old cowboy pants.Comfortable, lots of stretch, and don't turn into wrinkled pieces of crap when you wash them. My only complaint is the waist is a little loose.

Love these shoes, I got mine a back in december of 09 in turquise and they look amazing, super comfortable foot beds, plush sides. I've never skated in mine, and they are holding up perfectly. I'm debating going for the Kelly Green ones next because they fit so great.
Barely on the big size, but I accomodated for that, by sizing down half a size, they fit perfect now.

I litterally own eight of this shirt, two of all four original colors, one set for lumberkacking shit up, the other for schmoozing around on summer nights in. Really warm flannel, keeps your nips from hardening and stops you from shivering like a chihuahua in front of your girl.
fit says slim, loose, it's a loose shirt, but tapered so you don't look like a walking sheet of cardboard. Doubled seems promise you they won't rip when you defend your territory.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see how much this bike weighs anywhere-anyone out there know?
How deep is the V neck on this shirt? It looks pretty shallow in the pic.

New Delkin adapter for SD and Memory Stick
Just before PMA 2004 kicks off Delkin adds a new adapter to its product line. Delkin has added Secure Digital (SD), MultiMediaCard (MMC), and Memory Stick (MS) formats to its line of fastest PCMCIA Adapters on the market. The eFilm PRO CardBus 32-bit PCMCIA adapter is four to six times faster than all current conventional 16-bit adapters and has ushered in a new phase of adapter performance. PCMCIA adapters have long been popular for their convenient size and ease of use for quick file transfers from memory cards to laptop computers. The eFilm PRO CardBus 32 is the only adapter that achieves maximum speeds from the popular high-speed professional grade memory cards that are currently popular with high-end SLR digital cameras.
The SD/MMC and MS CardBus 32 Adapters joins the initial CompactFlash (CF) CardBus Adapter that was released at the end of last year. With the new introduction of video cameras, which require high-speed SD cards and mobile phones that use both SD and MS cards, a faster way to get data from the card to a mobile PC is required. All CardBus 32 adapters allow memory cards to work in the PC Card slot on most Windows based laptops and uses the high speed CardBus PCMCIA standard.
The Delkin 32-bit CardBus adapter has the same size, shape and design as existing 16-bit adapters in common use now. However, Delkin CardBus adapters and all CardBus products worldwide have a set of gold dimples or "buttons" across the top of the leading edge, which inserts into the laptop. These buttons serve a keying function and prevent the insertion of the adapter into non-CardBus compatible laptops. CardBus slots are common on all modern laptops from manufacturers like Dell, Toshiba, Sony and many others. CardBus slots are backward compatible with the 16-bit slower adapters. They insert completely within its host without any external cabling and operate at a power-saving 3.3 volts, extending battery life in most configurations.
The CardBus standard, while not well known to the general computing population, has been in place since 1997, and supported by virtually all notebook vendors since 1998. CardBus is standard on virtually all modern Windows and Mac OS systems. Tests on Delkin eFilm PRO cards and other high-speed CF cards revealed similar speed increases of four to six times that of standard 16-bit adapters. 100 Megabytes of JPEG photos on a Delkin PRO card were transferred to a Dell laptop with both a Delkin 16-bit adapter and a CardBus 32 adapter. The CardBus adapter took 18 seconds (5.5MB/s) to transfer the images and the standard adapter took more than four times as long, taking one minute, 26 seconds (1.16MB/s) to transfer.
The Delkin CardBus 32 adapter has a theoretical maximum speed of 132MB/s. Speed in real world applications is determined by the speed of the CPU and flash chips within the memory card. High-speed cards like the Delkin eFilm CF PRO, IBM Microdrive and the new SD PRO will operate much faster than other cards not designed to be high speed. Delkin CardBus 32 adapters also utilize a patented chip, which reduces the burden on the host CPU to 10% or less, further increasing the value of this product.
Delkin will introduce Apple drivers at PMA 2004 in Las Vegas, as most Apple laptops also support CardBus.

Despite popular belief, there's not a kernel of truth in the notion that corn is native to the area that is now the United States. Although plant fossils as old as 80,000 years have been discovered in South America, corn was first cultivated in Central America and parts of what is now Mexico around 4000 B.C.E.
Back then, scientists believe, each kernel sprouted its own floral parts (like barley or oats). After farmers began to improve the crop by selecting the best traits of existing plants, corn slowly developed into the vegetable we know today.
When Mesoamerican natives began to migrate north, they brought corn with them. It finally reached New England about 1000 years ago, where Native Americans learned of its many uses. When the European settlers arrived, it is doubtful that any of them would have survived had the Native Americans not shared their knowledge of the planting and usage of corn.Powered by Sidelines

SELECTIVE ADDING. take a shot!
I just thought that it would be nice to have an archive of quotes that I love and/or find to be inspirational. and for the record, yes, this is different from my inspiration post(s); while it still may not be as organized as I'd like it to be, this is my way of remembering the words that are important to me and which I can connect to, or that which fills me with the motivation to live when I forget how to want to. and these words will come from an infinite range of areas, from books to speeches to fics, and from authors to philosophers to conversations that I hear on the train.
words are our most powerful tool as human beings. it is the basis of all creativity and provides the boundaries of our reality. we can make or break the world or whatever we want through them. words, in both a literal and metaphorical way, define us.

An impressive selection, in bilingual format, from the work of one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers.

Born in Mexico City in 1951, Alberto Blanco is a dynamic and influential voice in the new poetry of Mexico. A musician, artist, essayist, translator, and storyteller, his poetry explores the connections on frontiers between verbal, visual, and aural experience. He is both an innovator and a classicist, a materialist and a mystic, a visionary and a chronicler of everyday life.

Here his poems converse with their English translations, to create "a singular book . . . not simply a bilingual edition, but one unified voice, a poetry that speaks of a world far beyond languages and borders." (from the introduction by Jose Emilio Pacheco).
 02 An impressive selection, in bilingual format, from the work of one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers. Born in Mexico City in 1951, Alberto Blanco is a dynamic and influential voice in the new poetry of Mexico. A musician, artist, essayist... 08 "The meticulous and loving catalog of moments, animals, plants, beings, suns, and nocturnal revelations that this poetry offers us constitutes - in my way of thinking - a terrible oracle, and at last a shout of hope. To say it in a simpler, more direct way, it is a prayer." Alvaro Mutis 08 "Alberto Blanco's deep poetry inhabits both the world and the universe of imagination; these poems shed their own light and fly on their own wings." Michael McClure 44

 Inspired by the French poetry series, Poètes d'aujourd'hui, Lawrence Ferlinghetti launched the Pocket Poets Series in 1955 with his own Pictures of the Gone World. The success and scandal of Number Four, Howl & Other Poems (1956), established City Lights as a major alternative press for the most innovative American and international poetry, a tradition the series continues today, at 60 volumes and counting, remaining true to Ferlinghetti's founding vision. "From the beginning," he writes, "the aim was to publish across the board, avoiding the provincial and the academic. I had in mind rather an international, dissident, insurgent ferment. What has proved most fascinating are the continuing cross-currents and cross-fertilizations between poets widely separated by language or geography, from France to Germany to Italy to America North and South, East and West, coalescing in a truly supra-national poetic voice."

 "As long as there is poetry, there will be an unknown; as long as there is an unknown there will be poetry. The function of the independent press (besides being essentially dissident) is still to discover, to find the new voices and give voice to them."––Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Hey Marge
Well the pot is part of the package for me. It's a nice plastic terra cotta
pot and it not only reduces the stress on the plant but it helps protect it
from the 800 pound gorillas that the delivery people employ.
Kitty answered you as far as how FedEx got into the ground service. It
happened 4-5 years ago and they had no idea how to operate it. Still don't
as far as I can tell. You're right though if the package absolutely,
positively has to be there overnight, then FedEx is your carrier. But for
ground I wouldn't go back to them if I had to walk the package there myself.

4 Ways Monogamous Couples Discredit Swingers
There are numerous false assumptions that surround swinging a private lifestyle that leans towards not following the standard or "accepted" rules of marriage and monogamy. If you would like to be enlightened about the lifestyle or perhaps want to join the bandwagon, you should start by getting to know what swinging is not. Mainstream society usually frowns upon swinging, and, as a result, there are multiple misconceptions that very many people accept as true. Most of these paint an awful picture of what swinging is all about and they canRead More

Saying "No" to A Swinger Couple
Suppose you and your spouse are enjoying yourselves at a swing club and meet another cheerful attractive swinger couple. You start talking and the chat really heats up. You seem to like each of them at first and you feel strong attractions to them just like they do. Everything seems to be getting along very well after a couple drinks, laughing, and dancing.

Hotwifing Issues: Do Men Love Their Wives?

Plus you don't need to lie to me about "finding 2 "awesome" animes from my "horribly tasteless" list" because logic naturally tells me that you've already finished watching both of the shows and had already became a fanboy long before i made my list(Accel World 4 stars, SAO 4.5 stars).
Btw, may i remind you too that different people have different opinions, don't expect everyone to like the same shows that you enjoyed.
How so are my senses poor? You mean if i don't like that piece of sh*t Sword Art Online and it's predecessor Accel World i have a bad taste/sense in anime? Have you read my review/rant yet? I've stated my viewpoint on why i hate Sword Art Online(Accel World is basically the same crap).
I'm not the kind of fanboy who gives majority of the show he/she watches a 7++/10 just because i enjoyed it nor am i the kind of guy who gives 3-/10 to everything that i didn't enjoy, i'll try my best to rate them accordingly.
And thus if you've read my review & rant thoroughly, you can tell why i didn't like it.
Oh and before you sprout any fanboy bullsh*t with me, give me reasons why i should like Sword Art Online...

text: The new Hubble Constant proves the universe isn't avoiding usEsther Inglis-Arkell3/18/11 9:00amFiled to: SpaceAstronomyPhysicsbig bangRepublished44EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink New calculations have just been completed that show the rate of expansion for the universe. By zeroing in on the rate, the Hubble Constant, these calculations hammer another nail the casket of a quirky little idea called Void Theory. Image: Nasa STS-103 Advertisement Advertisement In the late nineties, physicists noticed that distant supernovas were dimmer than they should have been. After some observation, some debate, and a lot of thinking, they came up with a reason for this. The universe was expanding. The problem was, something had to be making it expand. This something was dubbed 'dark energy', and it sounded like a truckload of hooey. It was a mysterious force that was a little like gravity, only repulsive instead of attractive. It didn't seem to fit into any coherent mathematical models. It just - was there, shoving the universe asunder. The farther apart two astronomical bodies were, the quicker they moved away from each other. [io9]Reply44 repliesLeave a reply

This week in the magazine, Alex Ross writes about Richard Wagner's "Ring," focussing in on ten haunting measures from Act II of "Die Walküre," the second opera of the four-part cycle. Here Ross listens to the mysterious interlude with Blake Eskin and discusses some of its possible meanings, and how the music demonstrates the humanistic side of the controversial composer.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
I had not previously read a book by Robert Hellenga, although he has already published five novels, but I was intrigued by the title of his latest. After all, women's mythical history with snakes stretches back to Genesis and beyond, and I remember reading with great pleasure Marion Zimmer Bradley's Firebrand, in which a snakewoman plays a key role during the Trojan War. But who knew that right now in America we still have fundamentalist Christian sects handling snakes as a means of avoiding hell and reaching heaven? Sunny, formerly known as Willa Fern Cochrane, was born and raised in the Church of the Burning Bush with Signs Following in southeastern Illinois and married to its most powerful preacher until she got "backed up on God" and took justice into her own hands. As I read, I found myself wondering whether Hellenga named Sunny's ex-husband Earl after the infamous Dixie...

Labour MP Ashok Kumar, who was found dead in his home, died from natural causes, police said today.
The body of the 53-year-old was discovered yesterday afternoon after his staff were unable to reach him by telephone and raised the alarm.
Cleveland Police said that following a post mortem examination the Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP's death was from natural causes.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and his immediate predecessor Tony Blair, led tributes to Mr Kumar.
The Prime Minister said he was "greatly saddened" after hearing the news.
"Ashok was a hard-working constituency MP who took pride in representing the people of Middlesbrough as both a councillor and MP," Mr Brown said.
"He was a tenacious campaigner for his constituents and a warm and incredibly generous man. His long-standing campaigns to keep shipbuilding in Teesside were respected by all sides of the House."
Mr Blair, who was a fellow North East MP until he stood down from Parliament in 2007, described his loss as "a genuine tragedy and source of real sadness".
"Ashok was a dedicated and committed local Member of Parliament, representing Middlesbrough with a real passion and determination to serve the community he was from," he said.
"As a neighbouring MP I saw first hand his commitment to the North East where the support he received grew year after year."
Born in India, Dr Kumar worked as a research scientist for British Steel before being elected as an MP in 1991, when he won a by-election for the Langbaurgh seat.
His first spell in Parliament proved to be short lived when he lost the seat in the 1992 general election, but he was re-elected in 1997 to the newly created Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency.
Dr Kumar, who was single, was a Commons aide to Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, who said he was "deeply shocked and saddened".
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "A post-mortem was carried out this morning and revealed that the 53-year-old died from natural causes."
Sean Price, chief constable of Cleveland Police, added: "Ashok Kumar was a talented MP who was dedicated to serving his constituents, and was always greatly supportive of Cleveland Police.
"I was extremely saddened to hear the news of his death and my thoughts are with his family and friends."

In his weekly Search Research column, Russell issues a search challenge, then follows up later in the week with his solution—using whatever search technology and methodology fits the bill. This week's challenge: What was Art Thorpe's job? Advertisement Forgive me if I ask you another question about historic San Francisco. But I ran across this intriguing man in the mists of San Francisco history, and I can't pass up the chance to teach you another great search trick in the process.Meet Arthur A. Thorpe. He lived in San Francisco at the turn of the century... the one before the last one. To make things easier for you, I'll even tell you he lived in SF in 1899. Advertisement We know he enjoyed several hobbies (I'll let you figure out one of them), had a pretty nice handlebar mustache, centrally parted hair, and had an occupation that was once common on the Bay, but is VERY rare these days.Can you figure out what Art's job was during 1899?And, for extra credit, can you estimate how many other people in San Francisco had that job as well? Sponsored When you post your answer, please include the URL where you found the answer, the search path you used to figure it out, and how long it took you to get to the secret!I'm guessing that this is difficulty level 3. (This is on my informal Russellian scale where the max difficulty is 5.

The rack has performed well on 2 -1700 mile round trips we've taken since 1-1-13 hauling my Trek Hybrid. May review it again when we add my grandson's Specialized mountain bike for the trip to North Texas in August.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Drove at freeway speeds for 400 miles and it performed well. Very stable with no sway. Only issue noted was that the single cradle tended to slide forward on the arm. The locking lever seemed to work loose. The switchblade cradle stayed secure, so the bike became twisted. Had to adjust the cradles at every stop.

This product is light weight, sturdy, strong, very user friendly and very good looking. In addition, this product is made out of latest technology in terms of materials and mechanism.
