London: The AC Milan coach says the Brazilian will not be allowed to leave in the upcoming transfer window and is hoping his side can go far in the Coppa Italia this season
Massimiliano Allegri has rejected speculation linking Robinho with a January move from AC Milan, insisting the striker will be pivotal to the club in the second half of the season.
The Brazilian has been struggling for form so far this season, and has since been linked with a move to hometown club Santos.
However, the former Cagliari boss has been happy with his player`s performances in recent weeks, and sees him as an integral part of the rest of the campaign.
"Robinho is finding his form and it is normal that clubs around the world would want him," he told reporters.
"It is evidence of his good performances, but he will remain an important player for Milan for the second half of the season."
The Rossoneri take on Reggina in the Coppa Italia on Thursday, and the 45-year-old is hoping for a good run in the competition this season.
"For us it is important to go as far as we can in the Coppa Italia," he told a press conference.
"In the early rounds nobody cares all that much, but if you win it your name goes down in the annals of history."
Reflecting on the recent upturn in Milan`s league form Allegri said: "We want to finish this calendar year as close to first place as possible."
Meanwhile, Milan have announced a new commercial partner in Asia, Guangzhou Evergrande, who have won the last two editions of the Chinese Super League.

Ind. leaders, students mark 196 years of statehood
Ind. leaders, students mark 196 years of statehood
Indiana leaders and students are marking the state's 196th birthday with a series of events at the Statehouse and other state buildings.
Tuesday marks the 196 years since Indiana became the 19th state.
It might not carry the grandeur of the upcoming bicentennial, which features ceremonies and events being coordinated by Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman and former congressman Lee Hamilton. But Tuesday's events will feature more than 700 fourth-grade students and honor the winners of an essay contest writing on "What Indiana Means to Me.".
The state library is leading events at the Statehouse, State Library, State Museum and the Indiana Historical Society.

It's tough to tell which coach gets more disgusted when an incident that took place about 8 years ago is brought up.
During one of the many junior tackle clashes between Newman and Amboy, a young Clipper got dinged up. A Newman doctor offered to take a look at him.
As he did, the youngster's father stormed over, snatched up his son and snarled, "He's a football player."
"I hate to say it, but I know it was because it was someone from Newman who was looking at him," Newman junior tackle president Jube Manzano says.
"That's not right. That's stupid and taking the rivalry too far," Amboy president Todd Hobbs says. "He's not a football player. He's a kid playing a game. And you can sell it to the kids that it's just a game, but you'll have a hard time selling it to some parents.
"A kid'll get hurt, and [parents will] yell at him to get back in the game. I say, 'No. You're sitting down.'"
It's a changing, refreshing approach.
We no longer just "rub some dirt on it" when someone's hurt.
Nor should a rivalry – which exists mostly in the stands – blur what's important, our kids' health.
Kudos to Hobbs and every other coach who "gets it." He considers every one of his players – current and former – as his kids. And he preaches to his coaches – some of them former players – the importance of their responsibility, hoping they'll treat their players the same.
Not every program is so lucky, and it's up to the parents to make sure they know who's looking out for their kids and to what extent they're willing to go to do so.
Again, we return to the question: Would you drop your kids off at the public pool if no lifeguard was on duty?
Of course not.
Well, how about this one: Would you drop your kids off at a pool whose lifeguard was glaringly out of shape and had one of those mammoth-sized bags of Doritos with him on his perch?
I'd hope not.
The same goes for coaches. Knowing the sport they're coaching isn't enough. They need to be equipped to react and help athletes, should they get hurt.
Put them to the test. It's not just your right, but your duty as a parent.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website offers free training on recognizing and handling concussions. If your kid's coach isn't willing to spend 30 minutes to take the Heads Up course, it might be time to look into another sport.
Maybe you're thinking, "You don't have kids. What gives you the right?"
Let's just say I'm working ahead. Like Cari Johnson, my noodle never truly stops working. From the moment my wife, Kayla, and I decided we would grow our family, these sorts of things have been on my mind.
I don't know if our sons will play football. Who knows, maybe the big man upstairs will take the decision out of my hands and bless us with the granddaughters my mother wants so badly.
If only it were that simple. Fact is, no matter what you sign your kids up for, that decision is not to be taken lightly. I don't care if the activity is as low-impact as competitive dominoes, Kayla and I will take thorough inventory to make an educated decision.
While you're bound to share a lot of characteristics with your kids, they are their own person. Mad props to my dad, an avid outdoorsman. While we went on a few fishing trips when I was a wee tike, it didn't take long to realize I preferred a Louisville Slugger to an Ugly Stick.
He didn't try to pound a square (that's me, to a tee) into a circular hole. And he never made me feel bad about it, either.
They say it takes 1,000 hours of repetition to master anything. But that's no good reason to register 4-year-old Johnny for tennis, whether he likes it or not, in the hopes he'll someday become the next Pete Sampras.
I firmly believe that kids need to experience as much as possible. But when they turn up their nose at something – that isn't a vegetable – it's time to back off.

Discussion followed on the October 4th TWIG meeting last Tuesday at the Naches Ranger Station. We need to have a bigger showing from our Association at the TWIG meetings to let the Forest Service know that we will not stand for them closing our trails. Since we have several clubs that volunteer time to clear trails and maintain them, there really is no excuse to close the trails down. If you look at our record as an Association we have worked with the Forest Service, volunteering many weekends to educate the public, building bridges and by passes around areas of concern for several years; we are a responsible group of users. So if you really want to help your Association, please plan to attend the next TWIG meeting on Tuesday, November 1st at the Naches Ranger Station enter at the back door. Lets fill that room with 4X4 users, and let the Forest Service know that we are not going away. The Forest Service plan is to close 10 miles of roads/trails a year for 15 years so thats 150 miles right there. Folks the Forest Service needs to hear from us, or we wont have anything left to recreate on.

State, which dealt with the Legislatures 2009 appropriation of funds from a fuel tax refund program for the maintenance and operation of state parks. The Washington Off Highway Vehicle Alliance and others, collectively WOHVA, challenged the legislative action as violating the state constitutional requirement that fuel tax revenue be used for highway purposes. In a two-to-one decision, the Court upheld an earlier trail court decision and ruled against WOHVA, concluding that the Legislatures action was permissible use of fuel tax refund authority and would benefit off-road and other users who pay into the refund program. WOHVA is still fighting to get these funds back and is taking it to the next level now which is the Supreme Court.

Edit: If everyone who is on budget management from The Amazing Race Lationamerica is reading this. Here is a tip to get more money for challenges: STOP SPENDING MONEY IN HOTELS FOR THE TEAMS IF HOURS OF OPERATIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT NIGHT. IF THEY NEED TO SLEEP IN THE FLOOR OR A BEACH THEY'LL DO IT TO GET A CLUE. IS A FAIR EQUALIZER AND SHOULDN'T BE AVOIDED.
Yeap. I know. (And all I have to say about it is "mission accomplished"... again. )
I don't get why other teams seem to think of Brian and Karina as somewhat villanous? their playing the game. Also, have to agree about making the teams rough it instead of giving them hotels. Top three everytime??!... Argentinians know how to play the game.

Phoenix's Sandy Brondello is the WNBA's coach of the year and Mercury center Brittney Griner is the defensive player of the year, said a person close to the situation.
The pair will receive their awards Friday night in Phoenix before the Mercury host Los Angeles in the Western Conference semifinals opener, the person told The Associated Press late Thursday night, speaking on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
Brondello guided the Mercury to a 29-5 record in her first season in charge. Phoenix won 16 straight games during the season, the second most in WNBA history, just short of the Sparks' record of 18 consecutive victories.
When asked earlier Thursday about potentially winning the award, Brondello said: ''It would be a great honor, and I've been appreciative of the opportunity to coach in this league. It's more of a team award and I have some great players around me.''
She received 33 of the 38 votes with Minnesota's Cheryl Reeve and Washington's Mike Thibault each getting two, the person said. Atlanta's Michael Cooper got the other vote.
Having Griner in the middle was a big reason for Phoenix's success. The second-year star set a WNBA record with 129 blocks. She averaged 15.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.8 blocks this season.
''Defensive player of the year is MVP in my book,'' Griner said when asked what it would mean to win the award. ''Defense is my favorite part of the game and what I want to be known for.''
She blocked a record 11 shots in one game against Tulsa on June 29.
''She's 6-foot-8 but has mobility,'' Brondello said of her young star. ''Shot blocking is about anticipation and she does a great job anticipating. She wasn't where she thought she would be last year, but has really developed this past year. She's really just scratched the surface.''
Griner received 31 of the 38 votes with Atlanta's Sancho Lyttle finished second.

text: Lloyd Russell has designed contemporary and minimalist desert house design in Pioneertown California. I think this is best and simple desert home design with elegant and modern styles. The house was created by using durable and recycled materials as well as a famous steel canopy which shelters and shades the house. Desert is a burning zone, so the designers have to make some ideas to stay the temperature down within the home through the canopy. While the sun hits the canopy, some of that heat is reflected back into the sky while the rest is absorbed by the canopy. And because there is a wind buffer, the design makes a cooling system to maintain the home comparatively out of the sun and cold. It is an extremely easy life, so you want it to be attractive simple structural design. Here is the sample house designs photo of Contemporary Minimalist Desert House Design architect by Lloyd Russell.

Film Brings Diverse Reaction From Faculty, Studentsby Gary James '10 • March 26, 2008 Share:
A lively discussion about intellectual diversity in higher education arose Tuesday night after nearly 100 audience members, including students, faculty members, and local citizens, gathered in Lovell Lecture Room for a screening of Indoctrinate U, a documentary about perceived contradictions of speech codes and other polices enforced on some American college campuses.
Professor of Religion and Philosophy Stephen Webb, faculty advisor of the Wabash Conservative Union, organized the screening of Indoctrinate U and the subsequent panel discussion led by History Professor Rick Warner and Philosophy Professor Mark Brouwer. The documentary is a production of On the Fence Films and was written and directed Evan Coyne Maloney, a fellow at the Moving Picture Institute.
Maloney interviewed professors, students, organizations, and citizens around the country who believed they had encountered intimidation or discrimination because of their beliefs or that specific policies regarding curricula, admissions, or campus speech were wrong.
"Welcome to the great market place of ideas: the American university," the documentary opened. "Here freedom of expression, honest discussion, and academic inquiry reign supreme. And the future leaders of our world meet as equals in a forum of open debate. At least that was the idea. The problem is that great market place of ideas has been reduced to just that, an idea. In reality, academia today is not a market place at all, it's a monopoly."
According to the film, university regulations and policies that are suppose to be ensuring tolerance and diversity were instead being employed to silence alternative views. Race, gender, and class issues, Maloney argued, were used "as ammunition for an all-out political war. What's at stake is nothing less than … the American university."
The film led the audience members through a maze of issues, including affirmative action and race, gender, and curricula formation.
At Monterey Peninsula College, Professor David Clemens criticized policy on proposing new classes. The instructor would have to describe how the course topic would address issues of race, class, and gender issues, whether it was a political science course, mathematics, or ornamental horticulture. This, he said, was an affront on academic freedom.
Hostile criticisms were directed at Professor Jay Bergman at Central Connecticut State University when he challenged the idea of reparations for descendants of slaves. He was called a bigot.
"Calling someone who disagrees with you a racist for simply calling for intellectual diversity is engaging in a kind of intellectual and academic thuggery," he said. Words like that are not designed to further a conversation or to enhance a debate; they are designed to end the debate, to de-legitimize the speaker."
Indoctrinate U resonated with many but not everyone in the audience.
"It seems like we're living in a moment in the country where we need to relearn how to disagree with each other, and then reconcile the fact that we may have different opinions and not expect people to always agree with us," Dr. Warner said. "Recent events in our presidential campaign for example point to the direction that we sure have a lot of problems talking about race in this country still."
Senior Kyle Cassidy challenged the assumptions of the film.
"I found the film unpersuasive," he said. "He says quite a bit but he really demonstrates very little. He has three or four substantive accusations against individual universities of kinds of oppression. And the rest of it, he kind of relies on the stock footage of 18-to-22 year-olds being loud and dumb, which is hardly ideologically motivating."
Other students thought there were elements of the film that were not only accurate but could apply to Wabash as well.
"I don't think we have the same problems that other schools have but there are certain things outside that do come into Wabash," junior Royce Gregerson said. "One of them is textbooks. That's not such a big deal if you are studying Plato, but in the political science class I'm in right now the textbook makes the bold statement that far right parties are xenophobic and racist. That's troubling because I do consider myself to be far right but don't consider myself to be xenophobic or racist."
Freshman Kevin Stevens found a connection between the film's critique of curricula approaches and his own experience with English composition.
"I think I have similar experiences in English 101," he said. "We didn't talk about English Comp we talked about gender race and stuff like that. And I think the other thing that comes up is that we're all students and we're not really on par with a high level PhD professor who has probably been in education for 20-something years. And I think one of the things that comes out is that when we get into an argument it can be intimidating sometimes for us."
Associate Professor of Chemistry Scott Feller urged the students not to underestimate their own abilities to push back against whatever it is with which they have problems.
"I think you guys are selling yourselves way short," he said. "I think if we looked back forty years ago, students were getting their voices across. This is a cop-out if you're going to say 'I'm a victim and I'll back off.' If you feel the playing field is not level, I don't think the playing field has ever been level. And yet students have always engaged with the faculty, often in direct, confrontational ways. You are just as able to do that as students in previous generations."

Great thread! I'm from the built not bought camp and have learned the only way to be able to do everything yourself is to roll up your sleeves and go for it.
I find that, while from an hourly standpoint, some of my projects are ludicrous, the satisfaction I get from doing things with my own two hands far outweighs the time I invest into them.
That said take the windshield and snaps off already (is there am echo in here ).
And I re read just to clarify, you did plan on gel coat work. Guess what? Do it yourself! No way you won't be able to pull it off. Get something fiberglass to practice on, whatever it takes. Spraying gel coat is relatively simple, watch YouTube, ask here, and go for it. Re gel as little or as much as you want. But no way you don't spray it yourself! You're already doing all the hard stuff in the prep!
Correct Craft uses an epoxy/vinyl blend resin (AME 5000).
The prep for paint and gel is the same. Labor on the gel will be higher after its shot, as it will require a bit more time to smooth it out than paint... but this is a moot point if youre doing the work yourself. Painting the boat will result in an inferior finish, and you'd need to do the whole boat. You can do spot repairs with the gel. Color matching is the tough part, but a pro could make the repaired areas disappear. Due to the age of the boat (gel will fade or change color with age and UV exposure) a custom match would be required whether or not the original colors were available.
With the exception of the few major damage areas, I bet the damage doesnt extend very far.
Based on past experiences, I have a strong preference for working with epoxy... far easier to work with and superior strength over vinyl or poly. A quick coat of vinyl resin over any epoxy repairs would be all thats needed for a conversion coat prior to gel. Of course, if youre comfortable working with vinyl, then using it for the repairs would save that one step.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I realize that there are more cost effective, or time efficient ways to get the results I am looking for.
I would also add one other point, you can't put a price on an experience..............as you guys can probably tell this is the first time I have attempted working with fiberglass, and working on restoring a boat. I am an active DIY handyman, and pride myself on my ability to do a very close to professional job when it comes to home renovations. This is the same with my trucks, and other hobbies.
My feeling is that if I can spend a bit of time in my garage learning about my boat and spending time with my family and learning a few new skills that is time better spent than sitting in front of the TV, or whatever frivolous activity you take part in.
The other thought in the back of mind through out all this tear down is, I CAN'T MAKE IT LOOK WORSE!!!!! no matter how many mistakes I make I know that in the end the boat will look 1000% times better than it did.
Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I will try and go back through and answer any questions you have asked.
Wait did someone say cost effective and boat in the same sentence? lol... It's a labor of love...you are either a true lover of vessels or a user of vessels. nothing bad in either case... College kid you are in the former group... I plan on restoring a slightly worn or worse a S&S to it's former glory one day soon...after my kids are out of the house - which is soon....
Hopefully I will find something in between the pictures below...posted on this forum before...
...A bad day water skiing still beats a good day at work...1995 Pro Star 205....
Not Much news, I cleaned out the garage of dust, Although I had the tarp up is still got everywhere. I ended up just using a leaf blower and blowing as much as I could out the door. I am sure there is still lots there.
Unfortunatly work has started to get in the way of my progress, so I think it will be a slow and steady go for awhile of working on the little areas when I can grab a minute or two.
As we all know the windshields aren't available any longer and this has stopped me from removing it right away as the safest possible place for it in my mind is right where it is. My plan was always to remove it and hopefully be able to do all the heavy sanding, wet sanding, polishing, waxing, all in one shot and then re install the windshield.
As large chunks of time are less available I am now considering doing the windshield in stages, as I don't have a safe area to store it for long period of time.
Can I remove the side windows and brackets one at a time? or do I need to remove the entire windshield as one piece?
Yes, good question...
...A bad day water skiing still beats a good day at work...1995 Pro Star 205....
The windshields Ive taken apart really need to be assembled and attached in order to support themselves. Taking one piece off the boat would not only be tricky, but leave the remaining pieces vulnerable to damage. Bump into one, lean against it, heck even under its own weight- I wouldnt trust it.
Just take the whole thing off and break it down into the main pieces, then store it under your bed, with a towel between the pieces.
"Just take the whole thing off and break it down into the main pieces, then store it under your bed, with a towel between the pieces."
I like that idea, hadn't thought of that!!!!! now can I sneak it into the house past my wife????? lol
Finally had a chance to do a little work on the project.
I was able to drill out the rivets for the domes earlier in the week and finished sanding down the sides.
Today was the scary part, removing the glass, It went alot better than I thought, although there were a few holy **** moments.
Here are the pictures, I am now at decision time as to what do do about all the brown filler.
Had a bit more time over this weekend, and a little today.
Did a lot of work wet sanding the larger gouges out of the hull that I can get to (other side is just too close to the wall to work).
I worked through 600 and 800 grit, then as I ran some compound over the top deck to see how I was doing. I finished off by buffing with no product just to bring out the shine a little, and to highlight the areas that need more wet sanding with 1000 and 1500 grit.
I don't plan on doing much more wet sanding till I deal with the patch work, then do a finishing work from the new gel coat and all the other swirl marks at one time.

Woodworth RV History Tour Ends in Indiana
April 26, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Woodworth RV History Tour Ends in Indiana
David Woodworth really likes old things The Californian's nearly two-week trip concludes on Sunday back where he started — the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind.
He collects mouse traps, old outboard motors, even broken down old RVs, according to the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune.
Currently on an RV tour promoting the 100th year of RVing, Woodworth, an RV historian, is touring the country with two RVs, a 1916 Telescoping RV, which is towed with a 2010 Fleetwood Discovery.
"It's been excellent," said Woodworth, who has taken similar tours for 17 years but has been RVing for more than 30.
The contrast in the two RVs is amazing.
"The truth of the matter is 17 years ago when I started traveling in new RVs, I never thought that they could improve upon them," Woodworth said.
"And every year they get nicer."
It's hard to imagine anything much nicer than the Discovery.
Besides bathroom, shower and sleeping quarters it also includes four TVs, two reclining chairs, a stainless steel refrigerator, a washer and dryer, automatic leveling jacks and even an automatic awning.
"Anything it does, it does automatically with the push of a button," he said.
Contrast that with the 1916 telescoping model which was built on the Model T automobile.
It really was not too bad either for the times.
The entire living quarters of the Telescoping RV could fit in the living room of the Discovery, Woodworth said.
But it did offer a sleeping area length of 6-feet, 4-inches, drawers on one side for clothes, a stove and kitchen area which opens to the great outdoors.
All of it folds into half its size for travel.
"It really had outstanding technology for the period," Woodworth said.
On his tour which has included stops in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, among other spots, half the people come to see the old one, and the other half to see the new one, Woodworth said.
What he found interesting is that at least one of the reasons for using an RV remains the same.
"People in 1916 did it because they could just pull off the road wherever they were and stop whenever they wanted," he said. "That's the same reason that they do it today."
Surprisingly some of the old campgrounds are just as good as today's.
"Here's a campground for you," Woodworth said. "When you pull in it's on a river, has 800 camp sites, a movie theater, a dance hall, a campers lounge, a restaurant, a hair salon, soda fountain, a billiards table, eight electric washing machines with electric irons and a 9-hole golf course
"That's Denver's Overland Park in 1922," Woodworth said. Now, it's been turned into an 18-hole golf course, he said.
Today, some campgrounds are better, some worse.
"The thing about campgrounds, they run the spectrum from really just simple mom and pop ones to resorts with golf courses with water running through them and restaurants and a masseuse on site."
The tour has definitely generated interest, Woodworth said.
But the vibe he gets from the people he speaks to is maybe the most important thing for the RV world.
"The bulk of the people are saying I think next year when I retire we are going to get an RV and do this," he said

I've stumbled across two fantastic blog posts over the last couple of days – both about Scrivener's place in the editing process.
David Hewson's post argues the case for dumping Scrivener and using Word; Jamie Todd Rubin's post describes how he manages edits in Scrivener.
I think both cases are valid: David's is argued from the point of view that editors will invariably use Word; Jamie's from the point of view of someone who understands this, but would rather manage the whole process in Scrivener.
The example Jamie cites is for a 12 scene work; his process of copying from Word into Scrivener seems viable for a work of this size. David's example has over 100 scenes and I wouldn't want to be copying and pasting between the applications for a work of that magnitude.
What do you think about these two different approaches to the editing process? What do you do? Please feel free to leave a comment.

And that's not all. We also created a top ten list of busuu.com tips to help you find fresh enthusiasm:
1. Set a goal – Easily track your learning progress with mybusuu to see how much time you should study each week to reach your aim.

3. Read the newspaper or watch our Live Units – Pick out an interesting topic and write a review about it. Your desire to express your opinion will give you extra motivation!
4. Make a list of your favourites – Whenever you come across a word or expression you find particularly interesting, write it down and create a list of your favourite words from the language you are learning.
5. Talk to native speakers – It's an essential part of learning. Not sure who to talk to? Try out busuu-talk and have a conversation with a native speaker!
6. Take a walk with a notebook – Try to translate everything you see in your head. If there's something you can't remember, look it up when you get home!
7. Fill your home with post-its – Every time you want to remember a phrase or word pop it on a post-it and stick it to the doors of your home! Make sure you get
into the habit of seeing if you remember the words on leaving each room.
8. Be brave – Everybody makes mistakes when learning a foreign language, so help out others by correcting their posts. They will do the same for you!
9. Share your progress – Have you just finished a learning unit? Be proud of your achievement and share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter.
10. Don't stress, have fun! – Remember that it is all about your learning experience. Here's the key: the fun you have during the learning process itself is more important than reaching your goal in time!
Don't forget about our back-to-school promotion which gives you a very motivational 15% discount until the end of September! Make use of our premium functions to boost your language learning!
What about you? Do you have a special motivational tip we didn't mention? Feel free to add your own ideas to our list!

Fixing bugs with ghost scout (these were problems in odometry relatedto constants in the simulator and coordinate frame and theta representationin the simulator). Also made ghost scout translucent in order to differentiateit.
Last commit did not contain changes to Odometry behavior. Gits dumb.
Merge branch 'master' of ssh://roboclub.org/home/svn/scoutos
Fixed Odometry behavior so that it now works and then added a get readings functionality to sonarcontrol.
Added Sensors class that abstracts away sensors from behaviors. Stops creatingduplicated sensors for each scout.
Behaviours now have names!

Instruct the ignorant. Counsel the doubtful. Admonish the sinner. Bear wrongs patiently. Forgive wrongs willingly. Comfort the afflicted. Pray for the living and the dead. The spiritual works of mercy. OK, so maybe this list is a little daunting. But look at the big picture.
The spiritual works of mercy are paired, quite appropriately, with the corporal works of mercy (feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, etc.). This is because the Church wholeheartedly embraces the totality of the human person, body, mind and soul. It boils down to caring for someone's soul being an essential element of almsgiving.
How to do that? Start small. For example, many Catholic parishes host the Stations of the Cross on each Friday throughout Lent. Check out local parish websites, find the times, and invite someone to go with you. Maybe you can even talk about your respective Lenten journeys afterward. With God's grace, it will be fruitful.
Each week during Lent I am sharing a quick tip on each of the three disciplines of the season: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. So tune in throughout the coming weeks for more ideas! I hope this third week of Lent is fruitful!

Part #: AVR-G-2858-378-SB-N Posted on
|2nd row design is wrong and the pin grommets are not spaced correctly causing it to bunch up. 3rd row grommets are positioned opposite to the pins.
Part #: AVR-G-2405-368-SB-N Posted on
|Good quality and easy to clean.
Part #: AVR-G-1924-378-SB-N Posted on
|These were an excellent choice for my 2004 F-150. The mats are larger than the OEM mats and that was a huge plus for me especially on the driver's side. The color matched almost perfectly to the existing carpet as well. Finally, the mat does not slip like the OEM mat did when I get in and out of the truck.
|Fit well and easily installed. Hared to tell the right color for my Pilot from the many on the web. This is close if not right on and very attractive.
Part #: AVR-G-4284-301-SB-N Posted on

Tim Berners-Lee In Court To Try To Prevent Patent Troll Eolas From Patenting Key Web Concepts
from the not-this-again dept
However, that case has finally gone to trial, and Wired has sent Joe Mullin -- hands down the best reporter on all things concerning patents -- to cover the case. His initial report is worth reading. Unfortunately, he notes that many of the companies Eolas sued chose to settle, helping to fund Eolas' ability to take this to court. Eight companies remain fighting. Eolas is asking for $600 million from these companies -- including over $300 million from Google and Yahoo.
As he had done nearly a decade ago, web inventor Tim Berners-Lee was called to explain to the court that Eolas' claims are ridiculous and the patents should be tossed out due to tremendous amounts of prior art. Berners-Lee also pointed out that these patents "could be a serious threat to the future of the web." He didn't mince words, noting that all of this stuff was widely known in the community of technologists working on these issues well before Eolas ever came along.
Last summer there was tremendous attention paid to the problem of patents within the tech space, but much of that furor died down after the patent reform bill became law -- even though it addressed almost none of the actual complaints about how the patent system hinders innovation. Once fall came, a lot of focus shifted back to copyright issues around SOPA. But people should be very, very worried about the outcome of this case, because if it goes badly, it could lead to a massive tollbooth on internet innovation.
