I like this one a lot, because it is so distinctive from any iris I have
now. I do not enter shows and I do not hybridize so my criteria is heavily
weighted to appearance of the bloom, and distinctiveness plays a major role
there. Of course, vigor, bloom reliability, clump appeal, rot resistance and
other things count, too, but not so much as its "Wow" appeal.
I like it a lot. :-)

Supercharged Kawasaki ZX-10R: Crank up the boost!
With a claimed 40-50% power hike, the A&A supercharger kit for the Kawasaki ZX-10R is serious stuff. In a straight line, you don't want to go up against this bike!
We suppose they aren't the most practical thing in motorcycling, but there's something about the sheer drama of a supercharger bolted on to a powerful motorcycle that we simply love. Now, one of our all-time favourite litre-class superbikes is the 2004-05 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, which was a bit raw and wild and completely out there. So when someone decides to bolt on a supercharger to the Ninja, the result absolutely has to be featured here on Faster and Faster.
Based in the US, A&A Performance are supercharger specialists for bikes and they have developed a supercharger kit for the 2004-spec Kawasaki ZX-10R. The kit consists of a Rotrex C15-60 centrifugal supercharger that runs 8psi of boost, Gates PowerGrip GT2 synchronous belt, Walbro high-flow fuel pump, high-strength crankshaft interconnect, K&N filters, NGK Iridium sparkplugs and a custom fuel map for the fuel-injection system.
'Without changing any major internals, you can have a bike that will significantly outpace the brand new crop of litre-bikes and pretty much anything else you come across, for around one-third the cost of a new machine. Best of all, you retain all the rideability you currently enjoy, but with way more oomph should you feel the urge,' says the A&A website, and we're quite inclined to believe them. All right, the supercharged 2004 Ninja might not be able to live with a stock 2011 ZX-10R on the racetrack, but on the street, in a straight line, the supercharged bike is likely to kick ass.
'This kit is not some thrown together mess of parts; it is a thoroughly engineered, road tested and tuned system that will increase the power of your bike by a legitimate 40-50%,' claim A&A. 'While the power produced is remarkably controllable, the instant nature of the throttle response and the never-ending power supply means that beginner riders need not apply. And thanks to the vacuum operated bypass valve, part throttle cruising and light acceleration are unchanged from stock and mileage is only affected under heavy acceleration,' they add.
The A&A supercharger kit for the ZX-10R is priced at a rather reasonable $4,300 and if you want to order one, you can get more details about it here
The supercharged Kawasaki Ninja sure sounds good!
2011 litre-class superbike shootout!
You know the GSX-R1000, Fireblade and R1 are going to be bit players. The BMW S1000RR and the new Kawasaki ZX-10R are the big guns here. But which one comes out on top...?

Ducati Diavel: Full specs, high-res pics, video
Ducati have released some more details and tech specs as well as some new pics of the Diavel, which the Italian company claims is 'the new shape of power and style.' 'Custom shop beauty, state-of-the-art technology, innovative design and extraordinary riding pleasure are masterfully blended into the Diavel, a motorcycle destined to shape the future, a motorcycle built by people who have earned the right to change the rules,' say the PR men at Ducati.
The Diavel weighs 207 kilos, its high-tech L-twin (based on 1198's Testastretta Evoluzione, but significantly modified for the Diavel...) produces 162 horsepower and 127Nm of torque, and its 240-section Pirelli rear tyre threatens to steamroll the bike's detractors into submission. Ducati claim that their chassis technology 'serves up mind-blowing handling and lean angles which defy the laws of physics,' though we suppose the 1198SP shouldn't have anything to fear just yet.
'If the stance of a Streetfigher is that of 'anger,' the stance of the Diavel is that of readiness, dominance, and confidence bordering on superiority,' says the Ducati press release. Hmmm..., we don't really know what to make of the Diavel. We'd still have an 1198SP, but that's just us. We're sure there would also be a significant number of people who'd love the Diavel and who would be happy to ride this machine. And why not? The Diavel looks a chunk more comfortable than a 1198, you can ride 24,000km between each major service, and advanced electronics like ABS, ride-by-wire throttle control and DTC traction-control should make the bike safe and easy to ride.
There's one more thing. Our no.1 motorcycling fantasy is still getting to ride a 1198SP (or S1000RR, or RSV4 Factory APRC SE or 2011 ZX-10R) flat out around a deserted high-speed circuit in some remote corner of the world. On a sunny Sunday morning. But if we were riding across Europe, with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as our pillion seat passenger, we'd probably just want something like the VMAX or Diavel...
Would we take the Diavel over the 1198SP? If we had Ms Huntington-Whiteley riding with us on the back seat, then probably yes...!

Valentino Rossi aboard the GP11 Ducati Desmosedici: High-res wallpaper
The Doctor recently tested the GP11 Ducati Desmosedici at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia, and came away reasonably satisfied. 'I'm happy because I was able to ride again today. I did another 42 laps, which is reassuring. Even when I work my shoulder hard, I'm finding that it doesn't get worse, and I don't suffer too much,' said Rossi. 'We tested some new fairings, trying out the aerodynamics. There's still a little vibration at the front that we weren't able to eliminate, but we have some cards we can play tomorrow to address that. We have to get a little more experience to better understand the bike's reactions when we change tyres, from soft to hard and vice versa. If the weather stays nice, the track conditions will continue to improve, and I think lap times could drop a bit. Naturally, beyond feeling increasingly comfortable on the bike, one of our goals is to be able to ride it more easily. We're satisfied with the progress we're making,' he concluded.
For us, the Rossi-Ducati combo is the best there is in MotoGP this year. We love Valentino Rossi. We love these photographs of him riding the Ducati. We hope he wins the 2011 MotoGP championship. Go...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as we're concerned, Rossi-Ducati is the best bike/rider combo in MotoGP this year! Even Hayden's bike (below...) doesn't look too bad, especially with that model next to it...

2012 Moto Guzzi V7 Scrambler, California unveiled in Monte Carlo
Moto Guzzi took the wraps off two new bikes at the recent Piaggio Group international dealers meeting in Monte Carlo. Piaggio group chairman and CEO, Roberto Colaninno unveiled the two bikes – the Scrambler and the new California – which Moto Guzzi claim are 'prototypes offering a foretaste of the Eagle brand's future product strategies.'
The new Moto Guzzi California 'prototype' is fitted with a 1400cc transverse 90-degree V-twin and Guzzi's usual shaft drive. The new styling looks good and the super-sized seat should keep a lot of people very happy on long distance rides. Guzzi claim that the bike's wheels, brakes and suspension are all new and we suppose these would all work better than the items found on the older-generation California.
The V7 Scrambler 750 is the other new Guzzi. It's fitted with a 750cc transverse V-twin and... well, features all the regular 'scrambler' styling cues – spoked wheels, dual-purpose tyres, high-mounted exhaust pipes etc. We don't really get scramblers and this one is no different – it looks a bit cheap and a bit pointless to us.
While we don't like the new V7 Scrambler, we do think the new Guzzi California looks rather good. If we were looking for an Italian motorcycle that wasn't red, very powerful and very fast, the California could well be the bike we'd have... :-)

Folgore Bianca: An even more exotic Bimota Tesi 1D
Created by Japanese motorcycle specialists WhiteHouse and based on the Bimota Tesi 1D, the 1990s Folgore Bianca is one of the rarest, most exotic sportsbikes in the world...
Think exotic Italian motorcycles of the 1990s and the first machine that comes to mind could well be the Bimota Tesi 1D. With an engine from the Ducati 851, hub-centre steering setup and styling from another planet, the early-1990s Tesi 1D was as pretty much as 'out there' as it gets. And yet, for one Japanese motorcycle specialist shop – WhiteHouse – even the Tesi wasn't nearly exotic enough. So, of course, they built their own take on it and called it the Folgore Bianca ('White Lightning'), which has to be one of the rarest motorcycles in the world.
We suppose the Bianca's styling may not be to everyone's taste, but we find this bike quite fascinating. So we tracked down one Yoshi Ishiguro, who used to own a Folgore Bianca. A hardware engineer who's now based in California, in the US, Yoshi tells us that the Bianca was announced in 1990 and released in the Japanese marked in 1991. He ordered his bike in 1996 and took delivery in 1997, paying the princely sum of 4.15 million Yen (US$50,000) for the privilege.
'You could choose the body material (standard FRP or carbonfibre), colour and finish, and also opt for some other upgrades like an aftermarket exhaust, front and rear Ohlins shocks and FCR flatslide carburettors (to replace the standard electronic fuel injection!). I was told that some earlier models were made with factory OEM digital speedo/tacho combination meter, but these were later changed to analog units for reasons of reliability. Mine had analog ones,' says Yoshi, speaking about his Bianca.
'No specific tuneups and modifications were done by WhiteHouse unless specified by the owner, so the Bianca's specs are no different from the regular Bimota Tesi 1D,' says Yoshi. 'During a casual conversation with WhiteHouse's president, he told me that the Folgore Bianca's total production figure was in two digits only. Since only 366 (plus fifty 400cc units) Tesis were ever made and sold worldwide, I'm assuming that a mere 15-20 were converted and sold as Bianca,' he adds.
So, why would you buy one? What is it that makes the Folgore Bianca so special? Again, we'll let Yoshi do the talking. 'What makes Folgore Bianca so special is its fairing design. It was specifically made to reveal the bike's state-of-the-art framework and front suspension system. The original Tesi design is very conservative and lacks impact. In my opinion, you have to have a 'stronger' appearance to justify spending more than $40K on one motorcycle, and WhiteHouse filled the gap perfectly,' he says.
Moving on from its other-worldly styling, how exactly was the Bianca to ride? 'The riding characteristics are not that unique as people often say. You can ride it as just like regular bike. But because of its rock solid frame and super-stiff suspension, it is not at all comfortable to ride on bumpy roads,' says Yoshi. 'I heard that some people could not get along with its hub-centre steering system, but I wouldn't take this as a negative point. It's a different system and has its pros and cons,' he adds.
Well, we'd say the Folgore Bianca was beyond its mere pros and cons – it was (and is…) a work of art. We'll freely admit we love 1980s and 1990s motorcycle exotica and in that context, the Bianca would be somewhere near the top on our list of 'if only we could get our hands on this one' bikes...

Valentino Rossi: 'The Ducati 1198 is beautiful and fast, I like it!'
Valentino Rossi riding a Ducati 1198 at the Misano circuit is just about as Italian as it gets – bust out the green, white and red colours already. Yesterday, with only a few days to go before he tests the Ducati Desmosedici GP11 in Malaysia, The Doctor put in two dozen laps around the Misano circuit, aboard a 1198. This was to check if he injured shoulder would be up to the task of handling Ducati's MotoGP machine in a few days from now.
'The shoulder is painful, especially under braking, when the front area hurts. Movement is stable enough and we're also doing not so bad with endurance, but apart from that, it hurts a lot and isn't very strong. Let's hope it gets a little better in these next few days before the test in Malaysia. Once we're there, we'll work with the riding position in an effort to make the most of the situation and collect important information with the Desmosedici, even though I'm not in top form,' said Rossi. 'Today I did a total of 25 laps on the 1198 superbike, which is sort of a historic motorcycle for Ducati. It's beautiful and fast. I liked it!' he added.

Fighting crimeware, RAM scraping and other modern mischief
There's a good possibility that the attacks you see this year will be harder to detect than in years past, particularly as malware generation toolkits make these more advanced techniques easy to incorporate with existing systems.
In this three-part guide, SearchSecurity contributors examine the latest iterations of malware. First, however, is a chapter on crimeware in general -- that is, malware used to conduct crime. Not surprisingly, that means grabbing sensitive personal information from either point-of-sale terminals or individual end users. The ultimate goal is the same either way: To get at the money. Investigation is essential to understanding and preventing attacks, so we've included some guidance on how a formal investigation should proceed. Later, particular methods of malware users are explored in depth -- RAM scraping and advanced evasion techniques.
This guide provides a valuable rundown of what's coming at you in the months ahead from the world of malware, and helps determine what you must do to keep your enterprise systems and finances secure.Continue Reading

Credit card protection tactics: Technology vs. standards
In 2014 shoppers spent almost $300 billion dollars online (a number expected to grow in future years). There was a significant number of online fraud attempts, too—and about 78% of those were made through website applications. (In contrast, only 3% were made via mobile applications).
This Technical Guide looks at efforts made thus far to crack down on credit card fraud. It starts with a discussion of card-not-present scams, currently a tool of choice for fraudsters, not only because they can shift tactics rapidly among different types of Internet transactions but also because there is no need to steal a card itself (only its attributes), which means customers are typically unaware of the theft until after fraudulent transactions have occurred. It then considers the new breeds of technology placed into networks today that focus on fraud and may give organizations means to not only detect and monitor but also stop fraud. The good news is that these tools for banks and merchants alike begin to protect before a transaction is ever made.
Finally, Chapter 3 explores whether the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) effectively and efficiently protects consumer data.Continue Reading

Disaster response and recovery: This is not a drill
Disaster recovery takes many forms: natural disasters that knock out data centers, data that's lost in transit, nefarious employees who abscond with proprietary company information. And those are all operational hazards, to be sure, but sometimes disaster response and recovery is more than that. Sometimes, DR has life-or-death stakes, with the CIO playing a leading role in sifting through the chaos and keeping employees safe.
In our first piece in this issue of Modern Infrastructure: CIO Edition, CIO expert Harvey Koeppel recounts his fears, but also his swift response and communication, when terrorism stuck his institution. In our second piece, CTO Niel Nickolaisen explains how he matter-of-factly told new CFO that IT should not, in fact, be the ultimate owner of disaster recovery efforts. In our third piece, Rich Licato, a chief information security executive, provides six steps toward building an enterprise risk management program that pegs both common risks and countermeasures to take.Continue Reading

There are not too many reasons that can make parents feel helpless than watching their newborn cry continuously. Crying is the only medium by which infants communicate. Firstly, find a solution by collecting yourself in order to decipher language of the infants. Calm yourself down, talk to someone you need to. Thereafter, get back to the infant who needs you.
Remember Basics
What is the first thought that strikes your mind of his reason of crying. Ask yourself for the reasons of infant's crying. Whether infant is hungry? Sleepy? Bored? Overstimulated? Afraid? In case you have just fed the newborn and believe that this can't be hunger. This might be a mistake, try it. Babies experience hunger while going through growth spurts and require more appetite.
If it isn't hunger, check his temperature and diaper. In case screaming still persists, look around that something might be irritating the baby. Think of all possibilities. Sometimes, babies want someone to hold them, try the same. Ask for help from family, friends or peers. Alternatively, you can also call childcare helpline to resolve the issue.
Babies Cry during Developmental Phase
Researchers have confirmed that babies cry more in their developmental phase. Babies are intuitive too; sensing a change that's coming forth and expressing the excitement or fear of it could be the reasons of his persistent crying.

I'm not a tough guy by any stretch of the imagination, but I took a selection of bands from everyone's "Top 50 Albums of the Year" to figure out if I could kick their ass based on their press photos.
This is Tyler. Tyler wants to beat up your band.
When you work at any music outlet—be it radio station, magazine, or record label—you get mountains of demos from bands trying to get your attention. And in the pursuit of that attention, they'll include a one-sheet telling you their story and the keystone of old-school PR: the press photo.
Despite the fact that these glossy 8x10s are most frequently just used for drawing dicks, press photos are still an important currency in music PR. And after years of getting demos in college radio and freelance writing, I've honed my press photo analysis to one simple question: Can I kick your band's ass?
It's like the Warriors: you're in a lineup—perhaps in front of a brick wall or on some train tracks—and you're presenting your band to the world to stake your ground.
I'm not a tough guy by any stretch of the imagination, but I took a selection of bands from everyone's "Top 50 Albums of the Year" to figure out if I could beat them up based on their press photos. Let's roll.
Before we begin, note that the "beat-up-ableness" of these bands are rated in Noisey's proprietary toughness scale, calculated carefully by our in-house team of specialists*. That unit is "the Statham," named after Jason Statham, star of action films like The Transporter, Crank, and The Expendables. His male pattern baldness could itself beat my ass. Every band is rated on a zero-to-five Statham scale, five being "most beat-up-able."
*Just kidding, none of us are specialists in anything.
Japandroids are like No Age playing the Replacements, meaning they are a mix of a band I could definitely beat up with a band that would demolish me then drink everyone under the table*.
So, somewhere in between. Hey—at least there are only 2 of them.
*Even late-era Paul Westerberg could probably take me down—you don't tour out of Minnesota with a bunch of drunk teenagers throughout the 80's without having massive, massive balls.
Dum Dum Girls
Nope. Dee Dee was not only once in a San Diego-based ska/modern rock band with two dudes and survived to transform into a bleach blond purveyor of perfect hooks, but she has her band locked up James Brown-style, complete with matching outfits and instruments. This isn't a band, this is a small militia. I bet each band member has a Ninja Turtles-style weapon specialty, and would whip them out in a Sonny Chiba-style montage and then leave in a cloud of purple smoke while singing a perfect bridge for another pop hit.
Action Bronson + Party Supplies
Party Supplies is a dude you have met at the bar. You've said something accidentally bothersome to his girlfriend, he says something slurred into your ear, but he will definitely not do anything more than try and slap you. I'm not tough, but I've dealt with those dudes and I know where Mr. Supplies is coming from.
Conversely, Action Bronson's beard could kick my ass.
Party Supplies: 4/5
Action Bronson: 1/5
This one comes down to interpreting the pompadour. It's easy to assume that a pretty dude won't scrap proper, but a mean dude with good hair is nothing to fuck with. There are dudes who start and end at the fancy hair, and then there are "pretty" dudes who will not tolerate any fuckery with their look and/or vibe. Considering how much "Adorn" sounds like "Sexual Healing," I think Miguel is way more the latter à la Marvin Gaye.
I'm calling this one a close one. The pompadour is a wild card.
Ariel Pink
I won't lie; Ariel Pink scares me. Although I don't fear him in a physical intimidation sense, I feel like dude doesn't follow rules and/or common sense, and might bite my ear off. Ariel Pink isn't really to be fucked with, kind of in the way Mark E. Smith isn't to be messed with. If Ariel Pink had as few teeth as Mark E. Smith, this would be a no-brainer, but even without that, I think he'd go a little wilder than I'd be willing to.
Also, I'm wary of anyone who uses a headset mic in concert when it comes to fisticuffs. Also see: Madonna, Phil Collins, Tommy Lee, Tony Robbins.
Death Grips
Nope, not even a little.
Cloud Nothings
Now, with this dude's press picture, I'm basically faced with a humongous existential dilemma: could I kick my own ass? We're both white, bespectacled skinny dudes who love flannel, guitars, and feelings. I'm sure we've read the same books, and might even have friends in common. I bet he'd make a solid drinking buddy.
If we had to scrap, we'd probably stand face-to-face, not sure what to make of the other. Maybe we'd get really close, and try to intimidate each other. But then we'd lock eyes, and suddenly be super aware of each other's humanity. We'd both consider—why are we fighting at all? Was it really important in the first place? Why is there aggression between musicians and critics? We all spend too much time online, proclaiming our overwrought opinions, and not connecting. Maybe we'd both laugh in the awkward moment of realization that this isn't all so important after all.
And in that moment, we'd come together and share a sweet, gentle kiss between two equals, closing the gap that separates strangers from brothers.
Then I'd totally kick his ass.
Tyler probably can't beat you up, but he does welcome your Twitter beef - @tylernotyler

patch v3.4
Is it possible for you to generate a new patch that
does NOT have the DEF_FILE related changes? The
reason is that we will need to change them again
when we check in the patch in bug 190538. Also,
DEF_FILE is the same as the existing MAPFILE.
In other words, is it possible to do a GCC 3.x build
without a DEF_FILE?
wtc: Yes, we do need DEF files for the GCC build. The changes here are just to
clean up the code the generates the DEF file.
PRThread *thread;
thread = _MD_GET_ATTACHED_THREAD();
if (NULL == thread) {
thread = _PRI_AttachThread(PR_USER_THREAD, PR_PRIORITY_NORMAL, NULL, 0);
PR_ASSERT(thread != NULL);
return thread;
Is in os2tred.c twice after the patch.

Cleaned up rules.mk to use existing MAPFILE macro.

wtc's patch
Javier, could you test this patch? Thanks.
wtc: Yes, that patch works, except that it is missing the os2emx.s file from
the previous patch. Put that in also, and this patch works for me.
Created attachment 118511 [details] [diff] [review]
wtc's patch v2
Sorry, I missed os2emx.s. This patch includes it.
I also removed your changes to nsprpub/pr/tests/dll/Makefile.in
from this patch. Can you build in that directory without these
changes? In any case, these changes are not required for the
Mozilla client.
Turns out your patch v3.5 is essentially the same as my patch.
We were working on and attaching our patches at pretty much the
same time :-)
I've checked in this patch on the NSPRPUB_PRE_4_2_CLIENT_BRANCH
for mozilla 1.4alpha.
Created attachment 118557 [details] [diff] [review]
nsprpub/pr/tests/dll/Makefile.in changes
Changes necessary for NSPR tests to build. Also, removed $(TARGETS) define
(now handled by rules.mk) so *.lib would get deleted by 'make clean'.
Comment on attachment 118557 [details] [diff] [review]
nsprpub/pr/tests/dll/Makefile.in changes
You deleted
which is used by WINNT. This should be restored.
It seems that for OS/2, TARGETS must include $(LIBRARY) because
$(MAPFILE) is generated from $(LIBRARY), right?
For the purpose of building Mozilla with GCC 3.x (meta bug 177789),
this bug is fixed. The necessary changes for building NSPR as part
of Mozilla will appear in mozilla 1.4alpha.
Javier, please use bug 126932 (NSPR tests don't run on OS/2) for
the remaining changes for nsprpub/pr/tests/dll/Makefile.in.

My 2008 TSX started making a sort of high pitched "whoop!" sound when the AC is running on number 1 or 2 setting. I thought the noise was only audible from inside the car but you can also hear it from the outside as well, quite embarrassing at a red light. however, i had it in to the Acura dealer and notified them of the problem, and just like all other mysterious car noises they could not get it to do it. Any ideas on what this could be??

Amlak puts halt on home loans
Dubai: Amlak Finance PJSC, the UAE's biggest mortgage lender by market value, temporarily stopped granting new home loans as the global credit crisis threatens Dubai's property market and pushes mortgage providers to restructure.
"We are reviewing our existing credit policy to ensure optimum servicing of existing and prospective accounts," Dubai-based Amlak's Chief Executive Officer Arif Al Harmi said in an e-mailed response to questions by Bloomberg News.
Most vulnerable
Dubai is bracing for a slowdown in the property market as economic growth slumps and oil prices fall. The city is considered the most vulnerable place in the Gulf to lower oil prices as real-estate and debt financing pose risks, Citigroup Inc. said today.
Outstanding mortgage loans in the UAE almost doubled in the year through June as property prices soared to a record. Mortgage loans leaped 92 per cent to Dh87.6 billion, compared with annual growth of 55 per cent in March, the central bank said yesterday.

Carly Calbero, a Seattle street musician, will bring her surprisingly big voice, driving progressions and moving lyrics to the stage Wednesday, Oct. 24 for two live performances at noon and 7 p.m. at the SURC Pit. This event is free and open to the public.
Calbero has received local, as well as national, attention for her performances and was chosen by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the top four street performers in the country. With an alternative indie rock sound, Calbero is reminiscent of Brandi Carlile, KT Tunstall and a more upbeat/intense Sarah McLachlan.

This is not some obscure long-haul destination but "Europe's largest all-season ski resort". The cost of getting there is neither an arm nor a leg, because it is in England. Pause on its hellish black mogul run, look down across the car park on which eight chalets will be built - and there, beyond the gas holders, is a splendid vista of the city of Sheffield.
Sheffield's Ski Village was built on the site of a disused mine in 1988. The original owners went bust in 1991, and it was then taken over by the Blue Boar group (diversifying from running motorway service stations), which extended the skiing area and facilities. Last year it was sold to its management, who have ambitions way beyond those for your average dry ski slope. "It has always been our aim to turn it into a full ski resort," says the marketing director, Christopher Clarke. "You've got shops here; you can buy winter sports equipment, and learn to ski or snowboard; you can eat Wiener Schnitzel and drink gluwein; and, soon, you'll be able to go back to your chalet afterwards."
Ambition is written all over the Ski Village's piste map. It shows the green, blue, red and black runs, the snowboarders' quarter pipe, a toboggan run and two drag lifts. Also marked is the route of the planned snowboard run. Down at the bottom of the slope is The Lodge, with facilities for eating, drinking, shopping and workng-out, and alongside it an artist's impression of the "Proposed Chalet Holiday Village".
The Ski Village already attracts 250,000 skiers a year, and makes a profit of about pounds 200,000 on a turnover of pounds 1.5 million. But Christopher Clarke knows there is a market still to be tapped: holidaymakers. Hence the chalets. "In the season we do weekend-break packages, and they're very successful," he said. "We do them with the Holiday Inn, and for 40 quid you get one night's accommodation with breakfast and a full day's skiing. We get up to 300 couples a year taking them, so there's a market already there."
Work will begin on the eight new chalets next April, and some at least will be available to weekenders in the following season. Positive though Clarke is, even he doesn't believe that skiers will book in for a whole week's holiday; but he has a plan for weekdays. "There's a shortage of cheap, Travelodge-type business accommodation here, and we feel we can probably fill the chalets with business people during the week."
Obviously 250,000 skiers can't be wrong, and Sheffield Ski Village has a lot going for it. But what stops it being an ideal holiday destination for me is the skiing surface - the 35-year-old "Dendix" technology of the threadbare doormat, which isn't slippery and doesn't take an edge. It brought back many unhappy memories, and added some more for later. But the Ski Village is working on that problem - or, rather, Brian Thomas is. Down on the nursery slope I found him lying on sheets of a white, nylon-like material, fitting them together on a two-inch-deep foam underlay to create a new, forgiving ski surface. The material was covered with dense, upturned spikes: it looked like an industrial scourer - or, perhaps, a training mat for apprentice fakirs. This was Snowflex Virtual Snow, invented by Thomas, who is managing director of Briton Engineering Developments in Huddersfield.
Snowflex is far from being his first contribution to the British skiing business. He discovered the sport in 1968 following a snowfall in the Pennines, and became so enthusiastic about it that within two weeks he had built his first "tow-lift", powered by an old cement mixer. (A subsequent model, based this time on a scaffolding lift, is still used by an entrepreneur in Halifax when there is sufficient snow). In 1979, he launched the Britonlift, a portable drag lift of which more than 300 have been sold around the world, including to Cyprus and Greenland.
His company now specialises in dry ski slopes, and since 1993 he has been working on Snowflex. He wanted a better skiing surface, "slippy, but grippy" (to enable skis to edge) and softer to fall on; and he also wanted to remove the hazards of Dendix, namely the metal ties that hold the surface together - often protruding above it - and the "voids" between the bristles. Beginners tend to get their ski poles caught in the voids: Thomas says that he knows of eight cases where poles have caused puncture wounds, two of them to skiers on drag lifts.
The answer was his spiky mat, made of a polyester called PBT. He tested it on a rig using one ski and a strip of Snowflex: the material had enough lateral flexibility, he says, to permit carved turns. It is far more expensive than Dendix, but will last 10 times as long - with an eye to the export market, Thomas currently has a strip of Snowflex lying in a desert to test its durability for hot weather areas. His small prototype patch appeared briefly on Blue Peter and then moved to the ski slope at Calshot Activity Centre in Hampshire. But the 900-square-metre nursery slope at Sheffield Ski Village is Snowflex's proper debut.
Since it was still being laid, I couldn't test Brian Thomas' claims for Snowflex. But if it is a success, it will be installed on the Ski Village's pistes - and then maybe Christopher Clarke's scheme of "creating an Alpine resort in Sheffield" won't seem quite so "eccentric" (his description). Anyway, the skier's thirst for new resorts does throw up some eccentricities. When I asked Clarke how far people travelled to visit the Ski Village, he smiled and said: "Well, we did have three students from Norway here during the summer".
Sheffield Ski Village (0114-276 9459) is open every day except Christmas, 9am-10 pm; access to the slope costs from pounds 10 for two hours (adults), pounds 7 (under-16s).

Comment Re:In a sane job market, (Score 2) 161
Even with open borders and a global economy I think UBI is inevitable; the real question is whether we get there through carefully crafted laws and human compassion, or whether we get there kicking and screaming through half-measures and bureaucratic red tape.
Throughout history there was always a way to use additional labor productively (more farmers more factory workers more whatever), so we based our method of divvying up our resources by how much you contributed. Well with robots and drones, and self driving vehicles, and computers taking over jobs that used to need to be done by humans that system won't work. When there's only 50 jobs for every 100 people who need to make a living, something's going to have to give. We've already decided that we're generally not ok with the idea of our populace starving or being homeless, so we need to implement some sort of welfare system, the question really is what form it will ultimately take.

These are the days when V6 engines are getting all the love, and the reasons are obvious. Chrysler has finally got its Phoenix Pentastar V6 on, and down under General Motors recently rolled out the facelifted Commodore line with its 3.0-liter SIDI V6. The point is to provide solid power and go easy on the gas, and in the U.S. the V6 that's been making that point very well is Ford's 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost found in the Flex and Lincoln MKS and MKT.

Who says you have to use chemical batteries in electric cars? Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System or SMES is a way storing electrical energy in magnetic fields. Chubu Electric Power and Furukawa Electric are creating an SMES not for long term storage, which SMES are not great at right now, but for quick energy bursts. SMES can store and release lots of energy very quickly like a capacitor. You can see a demonstration video of SMES below the fold.
12Big Block Fever: First Anniversary 427 Big Block ZL-1 on the block at Barrett Jackson
Monster motors were the order of the day in the late 1960s, and GM's 427 was a part of that class. The drawback to a big-block's burly output was, and still is, the increased weight of the engine. While big blocks are a hoot for straight line shenanigans, a small block car is often a better all-around performer.
