Discussion in 'Racquets' started by peter becker, Jul 21, 2012.
yes i agree, wish i could get my hands on that stick
My fav is the Prestige Pro 600.
i actually prefer the prestige pro 600 over the prestige classic or tour 600 as well.
since you´re the expert, did head change anything substantial from the pro to the classic? i always thought they were pretty much the same.
also, is the u.s. version of the pro different to the austrian version or is it just cosmetics?
So, Head is releasing a Prestige MP racquet for its 25th anniversary?
Wow, I can, uh, you know...hardly contain my, uh (yawn), excitement.
I was excited initially, when I thought Head might re-release one of their classic prestige mids, so this is a definite let down for me.
Why would Head re-issue the 660/102 instead of the 600/93? The latter is a much better racket which was used by many ATP players.
Re-issues are generally disappointing and you can buy old 660/102 18x19 Prestiges relatively cheap so why would anyone want the re-issue? The 600/93 18x20 are fairly pricey used. That would seem to be a better re-issue candidate IMHO.
The 25th aneversery racquet is not a re-issue. It is not 660/102. It is The IG Prestige MP (630/98) with a black and silver paint job.
Prefer the Prestige Pro 600 because of the cosmetics. There was supposed to be no difference or change between the Prestige Pro 600 and the Prestige Classic 600 except cosmetic. Also the only difference is cosmetic between the US Pro and Austrian.
thanks. i´ve played with the classic and tour for some time now and recently acquired 3 pros(2nd gen, austrian).
for me, they play differently. the ball seems to stay a little longer on the strings with the pro. something i really like.
the prestige pro reminds me of it´s cousin the elite pro in regards of feel.
only that the elite pro is a little bit more flexible
Link doesn't work for me. Can anyone email me the photos?

I have been a fan of PC600 for years until I recently bought 2 Prestige Pro 600, really happy with the decision. They have beautiful cosmetic and really shine in the sunlight. It weighs 330g unstrung but doesn't swing like a heavy frame. And like you said, Prestige Pro 600 and PC600 are quite different. Prestige Pro swing lighter, feels softer and has lower power. And like you said, the ball sinks in the stringbed a little longer. I put Volkl Power Fiber II in it, but will change to gut for more power soon.
i was thinking of changing from my usual poly to a gut hybrid, to see how it works. with full gut i would fear loss of control.
also i´ll probably change the caps in the near future.
Same here. Maybe I discovered the thread too late and the pic was taken down lol
File has been removed... Dang I should have seen this post earlier... Even if it's just a new PJ, with the same specs, I might get a pair if it looks good.
pics haven´t been particularly clear anyway.
i´m still hoping they are releasing a mid version
Yeah, and pure graphite too :/
Hi guys, sorry i had to have the link removed from the site, here are the pics.
Hopefully these pics are a little larger
thanks for posting the pics again
thats cool, no problem
Kind of looks like a speed pro from the pictures (which aren't that sharp). I guess the plethora of red from recent models has grown on me.
I'm always the first around here to biaaatch and moan about the lack of plain, elegant black PJs in new racket designs...and now HEAD goes ahead with a black cosmetic and all I can think is, meh...
It's not that it's butt-ugly (let's reserve judgement til we see it in the flesh). It's just that for a nameplate with such a rich and esteemed heritage as this frame, it's hard to conceive of it in any other colour than red/burgundy. It looks just like a Speed Pro as it is. And going by the scale of the pics, the bloated beamwidth on the thing is approaching semi-widebody dimensions of around 23mm?
I dunno.... grey and green also have an esteemed place in this line (as opposed to recent Tron/Star Wars motif of the IG)
Any word on when these items will go on sale in the U.S.?
Yeah its just concept stage as far as pics are concerned, ive been told otherwise, but will try and confirm specs and see if i can get some actual pics soon.
Around November
Sounds good! Can't wait for the real pics to come!
Thank you!
that prestige looks pretty nice
and i liked that green prestige that was posted earlier in the thread
Wish it was a mid tho...
me too....might even buy one
ah yes black and silver... probably a must have
Wish this would come out sooner... Have to wait til November to get a second racket?!
Any new words on these babies?
i just want 2 in my cupboard, i probably wont even use it, dont want to scratch it.
How often do racquet companies release new models? For example the IG Pretige came out earlier this year (I think) when will Head come out with a new model of the prestige (mass produced not limited edition like this)?
I'm eager to hear more about them as well. Trying not the get my hopes up since this is the only place on the entire internet that I've heard anything about this special edition. Have multiple sources independently verified this rumor?
It isnt a rumor, this is gonna happen, have word from someone that works in HEAD. They are due out november, and the pics shown were only for retail shops to start placing their orders. It is coming....!
So that's what Terminators would use if Skynet programmed tennis into them.
I'm still not down with the hipster derived clear CAPS.
Thanks, we definitely appreciate you giving us the inside scoop. I see your contribution to the board in previous posts and have no reason to believe you're telling us everything as you hear it from a Head employee. I was asking about seperate confirmation because sometimes one single person doesn't always have a comprehensive view of the situation, and unforseen circumstances keep things from panning out as they expected. Also, at the time, I didn't have the context that the images you supplied were intended for retailers to place pre-orders.
All that said, I can't wait!!
That's cool. Though im sure anything is possible, and who knows, anything can happne and they may not bring it out, but as far as i know, retail stores have alreay started placing orders.
I also cant wait to get one or 4 racquets lol
Any update on this? I went to 2 of my local pro shops asking about this and they said they didn't hear anything about it, I also asked them to ask the head rep and they said he doesn't know anything about it either....
my friend asked a head rep (southern cal) this past weekend and he said if it does come out, it would be december/january time frame.
I'm contracted to Head and they have confirmed they will be available Nov/Dec - reps are being given the details at a conference in Sept. Price and availability should be known after that. Should be interesting.
Great to hear that someone can back me up. They are most certainly due out late this year, i already have two on order
alright that's good news! Now i'm eagerly awaiting for it arrive
I just hope they'll not be as good-looking as the IG's, which I just got last week. :twisted:
any news or updates? will there be a midsize?
more info on this racket? release date? pics?
I second this
Pretty sure I just saw on TV Cilic beat Verdasco in Shanghai using this 25th Anniv. model, and if not, it certainly looked like a PJ. It was a black-ish colour with light coloured bumper. It didn't look like the dark blue Instinct frame either.
Looked like an Instinct to me
He still is using the IG Instinct Paint Job on his MG Radical MP 16x19.
Any word on this blessed frame?

For those having the looping issues.
Can you please tell me what kind of device you have?
Can you please tell me what version iOS it is running?
Can you please tell me if this happens over Wi Fi / 3G, 4G?
Can you please tell me which shows and episodes this has happened during?
If you can walk me through exactly what happens I can pass all of this information along to the engineering team for debugging.
I've already posted, but as you're asking for specifics....
New iPad
iOS 5.1.1
When I played a video, it stopped with a black screen about 3 times within the 22 minutes. I got around this by returning to the home screen and re-loading the app as I had done with the similar problem on the previous version.
I also rewound to catch the first minute or so, so perhaps that explains why the video then was out of synch for a few seconds.
However when I got to the end, the video restarted with both audio and video sped up (this is something I noticed when playing through my laptop in the past, but fixed through reloading) . It then stopped completely, with a black screen and the 'done'button present but not reacting when I pressed it. So, I returned to the home screen....and turned off the app.
That said,I have since been able to play a video without any noticeable problems.
iPad 2, GSM
Latest iOS 5.1.1
Relooping - Sket-Dance, lastest episode from now of this post, two areas: around the beginning of the episode but also near the end.
iPhone 3GS
And I can not seem to get past the log in screen no matter what I do. "incorrect login information" yet I can post here no problem.

What happens when you try to log in?
Errrm when using the new app on my ipod, the screen keeps going black guessing at the intervals of the ads and I can only get it going again by exiting the app and going back in where it starts where it became frozen. The biggest pain is the fact when I get to the end of the episode the app freezes again and I can't go back to pick another episode I have to turn off my ipod and switch it back on.
Could you please look into this. I am using service via wifi, ios 5.1.1, ipod 3rd generation
I already posted it in my previous post but I will post the info again:
iPhone 4S on 5.1.1 using AT&T 4G aka 3G
It is happening on everything I try to watch as far as I can tell. Will have to test on WiFi later tonight.

Can I reset your password and try on one of our devices here in the office?
Forgot to add, It is a new account just created today when I updated the app. The previous version did not require a log in to view vids over wifi.
So I was part of the group of iOS users who were holding our breath waiting for the update to fix the infamous loop bug. Unfortunately it has yet to fix the issue. On a positive note I love the new UI and the queue feature.
The new app is awesome except when useing AirPlay, I can't turn off my iPad screen without playback stopping like I could with the previous app. And my screen turned off/locked in the middle of playback
The older version reset once every other show for me. I found it annoying that Crunchy couldn't be bothered to fix it but the app was still useable. It's resetting constantly now and and I'm having other issues too. I am no longer using the Crunchyroll app to watch crunchyroll - I use a desktop streaming app to stream my desktop to my iPad.
Are other people using this version to actually watch shows? If so maybe I am doing something wrong?
I saw that you wanted more info on what I use, and I use the new iPad on wifi.

:) I don't know if it's just me or something, but the newest update to the app seems a little buggy. While watching a show, the show will randomly freeze about three times through out it(something only closing then reopening the app will fix) then when you reach the end of the show, the whole app freezes. No matter what I click or do, the ONLY thing that works is deleting and re downloading the whole app, and lol obviously I don't want to do that for every episode of a show I watch.
I'm fine with the sign in thing, but the freezing is a pain.
Any suggestions? Also, I hope I'm messaging in the right place...

They are aware of this issue and are currently working on a fix.
I made a new HTML5 Player for CR, see profile or go to hls.beardfist.net
This is hilarious!!!
I have been talking about CR never getting around
to updating the iOS app....and when they do everyone
complains about how it does not work...but guess what?
It works for me (for now anyway)...so much so, I FINALLY just opened a paid membership.
Now excuse me while I watch the new ep. of Tari Tari on my iPhone4!!
Don't hate me because I'm Beautiful....Because I'm NOT!
I'm using ipad 2, ios 5.1.1 over wi-fi.
Every time I have tried to watch a video since updating to the new ui at some point the graphics will go all grainy followed by the video restarting at the beginning. No problems before the update.

Tell everyone about your buying experience: Write a Dealer Review
Hello, I am Brian from Arizona, US. I own a 2001 Chevy Express 3500 extended passenger van. Original seating was 8 passengers but have added a 4th bench to make it 12 passenger. The van has the 8.1 lt Vortec engine which to my knowledge this engine size was discontinued in the vans after 2001. Anyone else out there?
Glad to introduce myself, please follow and introduce yourself too.
jodivan Posts: 11my daughter and her husband have 6 children and need a large vehicle. she test drove a 97 Savana 12 passenger, 4x2, F1 (what does that mean?), 114 miles, RWD, G25, originally sold as a fleet vehicle? 5.7 L dealer is asking 5988 for it which is high according to what i have found online. any suggestions? any warnings? any options or things we should look for? :confuse:
Now own a '03 Express AWD, 60-40 doors, LSD etc. Super vehicle! More practical (for me) than a pick-up or a suburban. I can carry 8 passengers, or a snowmobile - inside - not on a trailer. I also like traveling with the mid seat removed - true limo style, on long trips. I don't need wood trim, leather, and other luxury features; but I don't like the 'park bench' rear seats that don't recline or fold (but are removable). My wish list would also include diesel or deactivated cylinders, 6 speed transmission. Surely, GM has the capacity to offer these features on passenger and conversion models. The 08 models have Stabilitrak and Rear Airbags. If there was a 'GMT 900' update available, I would immediately buy another, as it hasn't been updated (other than mandated features, and current powertrains etc., from other GM lines) since the 90's. It is a worthy replacement fo my Aerostar AWD.
leroff Posts: 1Hi, I'm Lanny. Proud owner of a 2003 Chevy Express G1500 Quality Coach Conversion. Can anyone give me any idea what this vehicle is worth? Sure would appreciate any feedback I can get.
Larry, I just traded in my 2001 Express for less than $6000 so your conversion van being 2 years newer than mine may be worth between $8900 and $9900 depending on other options installed and interior quality.
I am now a new owner of a 2007 Chevy Express 3500 15 passenger van with a smaller 6.0 liter V8 engine hoping to save a few miles of gas.
Anyone else have a 2006/2007 Express with any comments about this model year?
dan98296 Posts: 1Hello,
We are thinking about getting a 2000 Chevy express with a Regency prestege conversion. It is white with tan leather interior, High Top, 5.7 vortec engine, TV with DVD, 2 CD players, GPS,and everything else imagenable. It has 80,000 miles and looks to be in close to perfect condition.
It is exactly what we are looking for.
Before I travel 1000 miles to get it I would like other peoples opinion. You can't find one close to Seattle so before I commit I would appreciate any help.
Problem is I can't seem to find the value of this Van anywhere.
Dealer states 20mpg highway, is this true?
Pro's and Con?
I Appreciate your help
doitright Posts: 1Hi Everyone
My name is John. I'm located in Round Lake (northern IL). I have owned many Chevy's including 87 Beauville & 91 Extended 15 passenger Beauville Vans. Currently I have a 2003 3500 Express Access van. These have all been used as work vehicles. I love the access package!
would like to convert my 4x2 express g25000 to all wheel drive.i dont see any problem with changing the stock front axle to a front drive axle.anyone have any info or tips or has done the conversion on this type of van?i know the 1500 is offered in AWD but does anyone have a 2500/3500 with AWD?
just received my GM factory service manuals (100 bucks) chock full of all kinds of info.
The H van, I believe, uses the Astro van AWD and is 'light duty'. I suggest you investigate the Quigley4x4 system, before you proceed. There was a H2500 AWD cargo van offered, with a GVW weight limit slightly above the H1500 My 03 is a 'super venicle', especially with MT treaded tires. My only complaint is the non-folding 'park bench seats'!
Thanks for the info.yes ive looked into quigley but they only convert new vans from the factory.They dont do conversions on older vehicles.quigley has an independent front suspension on their front drive axle wich keeps the curb height of vehicle nearly the same as stock.if a dana strait front drive axle is used it has leaf springs under it wich raises the curb height of the van about a foot.as far as i know,quigley is the only company doing a custom IFS front drive axle.Do you know if the astro van AWD uses a dana 44 or 60 front drive axle on the h 1500 model?also what are the MT treaded tires that you are using?My van is an express cargo 2500 that only has 2 captains seats in the cab and open rear area.Im slowly doing a conversion of the rear area to make the van a sport/industrial dual purpose vehicle.
is your o3 express a g1500 with AWD and do you know if you have IFS or a straight front axle on leaf springs on your particular model of vehicle?
My 03 is a H1500 - with torson bar suspension and AWD. The G1500 uses A -arm suspension and 2 wheel drive - similar to GM pickups, and ??likely the Quigley setup. Don't know, - but the front axle is more likely American Axle, not Dana (more often a Ford, not GM supplier). My MT treaded tires are Wrangler SA, (Silent Armor) - see on Tire Rack how these are better liked, than regular, old Wrangler tires! I have used MT tires for their winter tread pattern, that can be used in the summer (without excessive wear) and not having alternate tires on rims. Also, I have been trying to confirm if 01 - 02, LT model, mid row bucket seats would fit the 03 and later, seat brackets. I would like to carry drywall, plywood, etc., on edge, between the seats. The 'park' non folding, bench seats are a $%^&pain! I have installed tracks and Seat Belts (ala 'short 12 passenger versions) so that I can carry plywood on the seat backs in rows 2 and 4 ($%^&*the shoulder belt hump). The folding seats in my (old) Aerostar, worked better, for my needs.
I can look in my factory service manuals to see if the seats your looking for would fit your vehicle.give me some time to look into it..From 96 on when the new chevy chassis was introduced there has been little change in many aspects of the vehicle.In 2004 the stabilitrac was introduced into the vehicle.Glad i just happened to buy a used o4.Im still learning the variouse vehicle model codes such as h and g versions and name differences such as express/savanna etc.I know the frame and engine setup of the 04 express is the same as the 2500 silverado pick up.been very happy with my express van with no problems so far.Also like being in a 6000 pound tank in case im ever hit!
The only thing i see in the 04 manual regarding rear bench seats on 12 and 15 passenger vans is about the seat track replacement and floor rails.These mount to underside of vehicle with bolts and nuts and the vehicle has to be jacked up and heat sheilds removed to access bolts in order to remove or replace the floor rails that the seat "risers"mount to.The risers are the metal brackets that the bench seats themselves mount to.Whether you can change the position of the floor rails to accomomdate different seats from a different van i dont really know but anything is possible as long as safety is kept in mind.Customizers change seats all the time with the mounting rails and risers.
Came across some posts that discussed adding seats to the express cargo and they said they had no problem adding seats and belts.one person bolted his all the way through the frame with long bolts.not sure if that is required.Track placement could be made anywhere even if you had to beef it up with 1/2 inch steel plates on the underside of the floor and use grade 8 bolts.a person would be "ejected" out of the vehicle if the seat belt broke before that beefed up seat would ever come loose.I might consider adding a captains chair to the back of my express when i get done with the finishing of the rear cargo area.Im going to line the interior with tongue and groove cedar on the walls and ceiling.I have no windows in the rear.The floor is carpeted with commercial hotel carpet with a low pile so its easy to keep clean.I have a second optima battey back there wired off a battery isolator from the alternator and a 2500 watt inverter as well as a thermoelectric wine refridgerator,blue led lighting and want to place a 26 inch lcd tv running off the in dash multimedia system.Outside ive installed a surco stainless steel ladder and roofrack with 7 inch offroad lights.Next is a roofmount low profile ac unit and solar panel to keep engine battery topped off.Have i gone too far yet?
If your going to put a class 3 hitch on your van i would reccomend buying one from u-haul thats a 1-piece welded tubular frame rather than using an aftermarket bolt together hitch because some of them look cheesey.I installed the u-haul hitch in 45 minutes with the wiring and saved 167 dollars in labor.also surco manufacturing makes a stainless steel ladder that hangs off the back door that is made for the slope of the top of door so the only holes needed are on the bottom flanges of the ladder and it is solid.Surco also makes a roof rack that clamps to the vehicle gutters without any holes drilled and optional brackets for offroad lights and a floor for the rack is available.I also installed a valor reversing distance sensor for backing up as i have no windows in my cargo van wich creates blind spots.I installed a back up camera that displays whats behind the vehicle on the multimedia player in the dash.A company in michigan offers stainless steel fender trim that fits the 1500/2500/3500 vans as the stock vehicles have no trim and jc whitney offers stainless steel wide tape that can be used as base trim near the rocker panels for ding protection from road trash.
I just got a 2003 gmc savana awd 1500. Im a hotrodder, and build cars for a living. I searched for a awd van specifically, in part becasue a friend has one too, and bacause of the drivetrain, I build gm ls gen 3 engines, which is what the 5.3 is. So for my job I do computer tuning on these engines for primarely camaros, ta's, vettes, trucks etc, but my software also works on the vans. I also liked the awd, and the conversion van luxuries for the family. Anyways, my friends awd express is getting a custom turbo kit that I build, and then we will do mine.
My 03 has both side 60/40 doors, 3.73 gears, a reese hitch which I hate because its too low, a conversion with no topper, 20 inch wheels/ 275/45/20 tires.
To answer a couple questions, that I saw above me, the front suspension is the same as the torsion bar 4x4 gm trucks. The van uses the 8.2 diff in the front that is indepedant. They use the same a arms, upper and lower as the 4x4 trucks, its the same diff as the ss truck. Same sealed unit bearing as the trucks as well.
The engine in the awd's is a 5.3, 325 inch ls gen 3 engine, which is interchangable with the 4.8, 5.7, 6.0(364 inch) and now the 6.2. All exterior of these engines is identical. You can put a 6.0 in the same place as your 5.3. The difference is the bore in this case. You can also use stroker cranks to make engines well into the 400-430 inch area. The 5.3 is very durable, and responds well to the usual modifications that result in better mileage and more power.
Sorry, I wrote 8.2 for the front diff, and i dont know how to edit it. The van uses a small 7.2 I think, which is the same as the s10. I think the astro might be the same, but somewhere gm made a 7.6 also.
Super vehicle! I use a Master Lock adjustable (about $75) hitch with a Master Lock multi size ball. It locks into the hitch with a slot feature. I believe the AWD IS the Astro van AWD system (not the pickup). I prefer MT cars over trucks, but need and like this one. Suits me better than a pickup. My 03 has only 16k miles. I would be interested in any "econo" posts, especially 'how to hold a gear and prevent 'rowing". I cannot stay in gear, going up a slight grade at 60mph - with the (adequate) torque of the 5.3 ! Also, would like removable and/or folding seats for the passenger van.
The transfer case is the same as the trucks, and so is the front suspension. The rear is the same as teh truck also. The front is the astro/ s10 diff it looks like. The stub axle seals are different though. I rebuilt mine about two weeks ago and gm listed a different stub axle seal, that I had to order. The carrier bearing was the same as the s10 (front diff).
To change the shifting, thats controlled in the pcm. Anything could be commanded depending on how you drive it. The same as the engine control parameters. I can do it for you if you want to send me your pcm...or get another one (about $100) if you need one. It should down shift and stay in 3 rd for most hills. 4th is a .7 overdrive and 60 is really low rpm for it to be able to use 4th.
tireman9 Posts: 8I have a 2007 3500 6L auto that is the chassis for my motorhome. I would like to add extra cooling for the trans and rear axle.
I tried a deep pan for the trans but it looked like there would be less than 1/4" clearance as the exhaust crossover pipe runs under the rear of the trans pan.
Anyone know if there is a pan that will fit?
Also looking for an aluminum cover for the diff. Anyone know who makes a good cover.
could someone please tell me the differences between the h1500 and h2500 years 2003-2004. I've been looking for a 2500 awd and they are hard to come by. There are a lot of 1500 awd's available and some have suggested that only the rear springs are "beefier" I found a pdf spec sheet from gm which shows the same 6400lb towing capacity for both the h1500 and h2500.
Also if I get one of these is there a small lift kit avaiable for them? could I use the same stuff from the pickups?
The h1500 is the only standard model that comes in AWD.I have an 04 h2500 and looked into this for quite some time.The 2500 and 3500 are not offered in AWD,just the h1500.NOW,you can buy an aftermarket conversion from quigley motors in pennsylvania,they have used vans that are 25/3500 models and ford vans also.OR,you can convert your current 2wd to a 4wd or awd at a covnersion specialty company that puts in a front drive axle,brakes,shift componets,suspension etc.This will run you between 7500 and 10,000 bucks turnkey,meaning you bring it to them as 2wd,and drive away with an awd or 4wd for the cost of 10,ooo bucks.Dont even think of doing the work yourself,there are torsion rotation bars that have to be welded etc(messy) impossible.Check the web for offroad 4wd conversion companies that do vans if you want it done .there are many in most states.california,salt lake city,LA,phoenix are a few.Gm does not offer AWD for 2500/3500 vans from factory.In my opinion,GM has failed,and it is not an option other than the 1500.Towing capacity is both engine,rear spring and transmission related.Not just rear springs and shocks etc.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently looking at 2 different 2500 awd's both 2003's, I know that at least one has 8 lug wheels, the other I have not seen up close yet.
I'm also looking at some other 1500 cargo and passenger/conversions and would like to know the real differences. I know you can not get the 2500 in AWD anymore, but the 2003's are the ones I am interested in.
I would love to convert my current van to 4WD but 10k is out of the question right now.
I wish GM made a 3500 155 wb AWD!...Too bad we can't get the Ford Transit in the states.
still wondering extactly what the differences are in the h1500 to the h2500 for towing capacities, suspension and driveline?.
I d like to learn more about the 2500 awd. When I researched it, I found all advertised awd 2500's to reall be 1500's. Even now, when I do internet searches I find 135 inch wb 2500's awd? Thats odd, thats what my 1500 is.
I think if there was a true 2500 awd, it would have 8 lug wheels, a 6.0 and 4l80e trans instead of the 5.3, 4l60e. My 1500 awd also came with a tow haul mod, trans cooler, hitch. As far as I know of all the 1500vans came withthe 2 piston brakes that were an option on the denali and escaldes when they got the tow option.
The 2500 chassis, was never a torsion bar front end that I know of either. The frames are different.
I was driving the other day and my bright light indicater came, I couldn't click it off. When I stopped I turned everything off and took the key out lights won't go off.
Had to disconnect the battery ground cable to turn them off. . Any info appreicated
Your headlight switch may be defective,the rotary switch on the lower left of the steering wheel.You may also have a headlight relay module thats defective.Those are located under the hood i believe.refer to manual for replacing.Since your lights are stuck on,that means the circuit is staying activated,and not being broken when you turn the lights off by the switch.

The BOE team typically spends most of the first day of the onsite visit conducting interviews with individuals and groups. Interviews help team members (1) verify information in the institutional report, exhibits, and IR addendum and (2) clarify areas of concern related to the standards. Many of the questions are specific to the unit and revolve around the knowledge that the BOE has gained during the offsite review, in the IR addendum, and also while onsite. Other questions help the BOE team understand the perceptions of key stakeholders regarding the extent to which the unit is meeting professional, state, and institutional standards.
The interview schedule is developed jointly by the team chair(s), state consultant, and institutional representatives. The template for the visit suggests timeframes for interviews, but these may need to be modified to ensure that key persons can be interviewed. If someone is not available for an interview, the BOE chair should make arrangements to meet with an acceptable substitute.
In addition to prearranged meetings with groups and individuals, the BOE team may need to schedule additional interviews as follow-up to third-party testimony received, to gather more data on areas of concern, to resolve
conflicting information, or simply to ensure that adequate input is received from all parties. The template for the BOE visit also includes open interview sessions with faculty and candidates. During the previsit, the team chair should remind institutional representatives to disseminate broadly the time and location of the open interviews and the fact that the sessions are open only to respective members of each group. The names of faculty and candidates who attend these sessions must be included in the "Persons Interviewed" section of the onsite BOE report.
Individual Interviews
During the onsite visit, BOE team members interview a number of individuals who can describe the ways in which the unit meets standards. The questions asked should clarify and expand on information read in the institutional report, exhibits, and the IR addendum documents. The questions should be related to the standards. Key individuals who should be interviewed include:
If the unit does not have persons working in one or more of the roles listed above, then the BOE chair should schedule interviews with persons in the unit whose responsibilities most closely match those of the listed positions. Not all persons listed above may need to be interviewed at every onsite visit, but the BOE chair and the unit should work together to determine who are the most critical interviewees.
Team members are expected to interview school personnel who are involved with the unit as employers of graduates, student teacher or internship supervisors, members of a professional development school (PDS) team, participants in joint research sites, recipients of in-service by the unit, advisory board members, and graduates. These interviews often are conducted in participating P-12 schools. Some of these interviews occur when team members visit P-12 schools in which interns are assigned and/or collaborative efforts exist with the unit. Teachers, principals, and other professional school personnel may also come to campus to meet with the team. The team chair may arrange to conduct telephone or interactive video interviews with administrators, cooperating teachers, and interns/candidates in schools that are located so far from campus that travel to the site is not reasonable.
Group Interviews
In addition to individual interviews, the team conducts group interviews with candidates, university faculty, internship supervisors, university and school administrators, and other members of the professional education community. Arrangements for these interviews should be made prior to the onsite visit. Types of questions that the BOE may ask during the group interviews are outlined below.
A. Group Interview with Initial Teacher Preparation Candidates:
B. Group Interview with Faculty:
C. Group Interview with School-Based Faculty
D. Group Interview with Members of a Teacher Education Advisory Committee:
E. Group Interview with P–12 Administrators:
F. Group Interview with Initial Teacher Education Program Graduates:
G. Group Interview with Advanced Teacher Preparation Program Candidates:
H. Group Interview with Graduates from Non-Teaching Programs:
The institution is responsible for inviting participants to the group interviews, but team members may want to arrange follow-up interviews with some of the individual participants in the group interviews to collect additional information. Teams need not limit their interviews to the persons scheduled for individual or group interviews. They should also talk to candidates in the halls, P-12 school settings, and student lounges. When they are visiting P-12 schools, they will have the opportunity to talk with practitioners who have not been included in other interviews. These interviews will confirm findings and sometimes raise important questions for further investigation. Teams usually interview the following groups:
The number of persons in a group interview typically should not exceed eight to ten in order to allow everyone the opportunity to participate. Group interviews usually are scheduled for 45 to 60 minutes. The participants should be of similar status within the institution (i.e., candidates in initial teacher education programs, candidates in graduate programs preparing for new roles in schools, faculty members, department and/or program heads, P-12 administrators, and graduates) to reduce potential conflict among participants.

I was holding my breath for what seemed like the whole of Torvill and Dean's finale as they executed their famous Bolero routine at Nottingham's FM Arena last night.
It was a home-coming party for the pair as they performed as part of the Dancing On Ice Tour that ended in perfection to a full house of appreciative fans.
It was a special moment to witness the world's best in a routine that has become as synonymous with ice-skating as Posh and Becks are to the celebrity scene.
You could have heard a pin drop as everyone watched in wonder as, three decades on from winning the Gold medal in Sarajevo, the couple proved why they are still, and always will be, ice champions.
It was a fabulous ending to what was surprisingly a spectacular show. I must admit to not being a dedicated Dancing On Ice fan having only sporadically seen it on TV over the past nine years but I was mesmerised by the talent, and entertainment offered.
It was an impressive all-star line-up which consisted of Suzanne Shaw from Hear'say fame, former England rugby captain Kyran Bracken, Bonnie Langford, Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, comedian Joe Pasquale, Pop Idol singer Gareth Gates,
soap star Hayley Tamaddon and West End star and champion of champions, Ray Quinn.
The show was packed full of various routines from full cast displays to individual dance routines that were part of the night's competition with favourite routines from past series.
Pyrotechnics, music and flames brought heat to the ice as the skating stars and their professional partners cut some shapes, balanced strategically and took risks that made us gasp with admiration and fear as the 'headbanger' amongst others were displayed.
The judges for the night were Olympic gold medal winner Robin Cousins who headed the panel, alongside former professional skaters Karen Barber and Nicky Slater with all three joining the team on the ice in sections of the show.
Despite a fantastic show of superiority of skills both in his dancing and ice-skating, when compared to the other celebrities, from Ray Quinn, even his presence and perfectly protruding posterior couldn't outshine the real stars of the show.
The audience had come to see Jayne and Chris in action and without them Dancing On Ice wouldn't have been the success it was. And I for one hope they continue to dance together beyond the show as apart they would be like Ant without Dec, Morecombe without Wise and Ginger without Fred.

Well, two effects.
First is the Crysis Nanosuit vocal effect:
I can not seem to get the right effect down just right.
And also how would one add the reverberation, delay, echo etc heard in the "announcement" voice at around 11:46-11:51 in this video?
Please help
Crysis Nanosuit vocal effect:
I'd try with an effect similar to the Roboticize VST, check this sound for a reference. It sounds quite different, but tweaking the available parameters you might be able to get closer.
For general post production effects, you might try Audacity.
It's an editor that comes with quite a few built-in effects and supports external ones in various formats.
I do not know how the creators of this effect implemented it.
I personally have recreated a very similar effect through a variety of work arounds:
Drop the pitch of your sample to be an appropriate low-ness and then
- Add a chorus or flanger effect
- Add another track, being a duplicate of your original sample, and play it several milliseconds after your original sample plays to give that spaced effect.
Toy with distortion, echo, and reverb until you find a desirable combination of effects.
IF you happen to be using GarageBand (or Logic) use/install the Vocal Transformer effect by Apple which is very useful. I'd recommend increasing your bass on the recording, if warranted, as well to give that strong booming effect.
That's my 2 cents
I might also add that on the second track you create completely remove the bass and do not drop the pitch QUITE as much (this will emulate a 'whispered' sound, you'll know what I mean) and space it out several milliseconds like I recommended before. This might give you the correct effect
You can get this effect using a type of vocoder that allows you to key in the chord harmony's to be layered under the original source. Stuff like:
* Native Instruments - The Mouth
* Image Line - Pitcher
* Image Line - VocodeX
* Waves - Morphoder
Also sounds like they're running either a slight bit crusher or subtle distortion on the vocals too.

Getting Started with Configuring Cisco IOS NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
Getting Started with Configuring Cisco IOS NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
Last Updated: May 10, 2012
This module contains the minimum amount of information about and instructions necessary for configuring NetFlow to capture and export network traffic data. This module is intended to help you get started using NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export as quickly as possible. If you want more detailed information about this feature and instructions for configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export, please refer to Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export.
NetFlow capture and export are performed independently on each internetworking device on which NetFlow is enabled. NetFlow need not be operational on each router in the network.
NetFlow is a Cisco IOS application that provides statistics on packets flowing through the router. NetFlow is emerging as a primary network accounting and security technology.
Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the Feature Information Table at the end of this document.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
Prerequisites for Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
Before you enable NetFlow:
Restrictions for Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
NetFlow Data Capture
NetFlow consumes additional memory. If you have memory constraints, you might want to preset the size of the NetFlow cache so that it contains a smaller number of entries. The default cache size depends on the platform. For example, the default cache size for the Cisco 7500 router is 65536 (64K) entries.
Memory Impact
During times of heavy traffic, the additional flows can fill up the global flow hash table. If you need to increase the size of the global flow hash table, increase the memory of the router.
Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(14)S, 12.0(22)S, or 12.2(15)T
If your router is running a version of Cisco IOS prior to releases 12.2(14)S, 12.0(22)S, or 12.2(15)T, the ip route-cache flow command is used to enable NetFlow on an interface.
If your router is running Cisco IOS release 12.2(14)S, 12.0(22)S, 12.2(15)T, or later, the ip flow ingress command is used to enable NetFlow on an interface.
Egress NetFlow Accounting in Cisco IOS 12.3T Releases, 12.3(11)T, or Later
The Egress NetFlow Accounting feature captures NetFlow statistics for IP traffic only. MPLS statistics are not captured. The MPLS Egress NetFlow Accounting feature can be used on a provider edge (PE) router to capture IP traffic flow information for egress IP packets that arrived at the router as MPLS packets and underwent label disposition.
Egress NetFlow accounting might adversely affect network performance because of the additional accounting-related computation that occurs in the traffic-forwarding path of the router.
Locally generated traffic (traffic that is generated by the router on which the Egress NetFlow Accounting feature is configured) is not counted as flow traffic for the Egress NetFlow Accounting feature.
The Egress NetFlow Accounting feature counts CEF-switched packets only. Process-switched transit packets are not counted.
NetFlow Data Export
Restrictions for NetFlow Version 9 Data Export
Information About Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
NetFlow Data Capture
NetFlow captures data from ingress (incoming) and egress (outgoing) packets. NetFlow gathers statistics for the following ingress IP packets:
NetFlow captures data for all egress (outgoing) packets through the use of the following features:
NetFlow Flows Key Fields
A network flow is identified as a unidirectional stream of packets between a given source and destination--both are defined by a network-layer IP address and by transport-layer source and destination port numbers. Specifically, a flow is identified as the combination of the following key fields:
These seven key fields define a unique flow. If a packet has one key field different from another packet, it is considered to belong to another flow. A flow might contain other accounting fields (such as the AS number in the NetFlow export Version 5 flow format) that depend on the export record version that you configure. Flows are stored in the NetFlow cache.
NetFlow Data Export Using the Version 9 Export Format
NetFlow Data Export format Version 9 is a flexible and extensible format, which provides the versatility needed for support of new fields and record types. This format accommodates new NetFlow-supported technologies such as Multicast, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop. The Version 9 export format enables you to use the same version for main and aggregation caches, and the format is extendable, so you can use the same export format with future features.
How to Configure NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export Using the Version 9 Export Format
{ip-address |
4. Repeat Step 3 once to configure a second NetFlow export destination.
9. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 to enable NetFlow on other interfaces
Verifying That NetFlow Is Operational and View NetFlow Statistics
Verifying That NetFlow Data Export Is Operational
To verify that NetFlow data export is operational and to view the statistics for NetFlow data export perform the step in this optional task.
Configuration Examples for Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export
Example Configuring Egress NetFlow Accounting
Example Configuring NetFlow Subinterface Support
NetFlow Subinterface Support For Ingress (Received) Traffic On a Subinterface
configure terminal ! interface ethernet 0/0.1 ip flow ingress !
NetFlow SubInterface Support For Egress (Transmitted) Traffic On a Subinterface
configure terminal ! interface ethernet 1/0.1 ip flow egress !
Example Configuring NetFlow Multiple Export Destinations
The following example shows how to configure NetFlow multiple export destinations:
configure terminal ! ip flow-export destination 10.10.10.10 9991 ip flow-export destination 172.16.10.2 9991 !
Example Configuring NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export Using the Version 9 Export Format
Example Configuring NetFlow for Analyzing PPPoE Session Traffic
If you want to obtain accurate NetFlow traffic statistics for PPPoE sessions, you must configure NetFlow on the virtual-template interface, not on the physical interface that is configured with VLAN encapsulation. For example, if you configure NetFlow on the physical interface that is configured for VLAN encapsulation as shown in the following configuration, the NetFlow traffic statistics will not be an accurate representation of the traffic on the PPPoE sessions.
! interface GigabitEthernet2/0/0.10 encapsulation dot1Q 10 ip flow egress pppoe enable
The following example shows how to configure egress NetFlow on a virtual template interface so that you can accurately analyze the packet size distribution statistics of the traffic that the router is sending to the end user over the PPoE session:
interface Virtual-Template 1 ip unnumbered ethernet 0 encapsulation ppp ip flow egress
The following display output from the show ip cache flow command shows that this PPPoE session traffic is comprised primarily of 1536-byte packets.
Router# show ip cache flow IP packet size distribution (11014160 total packets): 1-32 64 96 128 160 192 224 256 288 320 352 384 416 448 480 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 512 544 576 1024 1536 2048 2560 3072 3584 4096 4608 .000 .000 .000 .000 .999 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000

AS --autonomous system. A collection of networks under a common administration sharing a common routing strategy. Autonomous systems are subdivided by areas. An autonomous system must be assigned a unique 16-bit number by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
CEF --Cisco Express Forwarding. Layer 3 IP switching technology that optimizes network performance and scalability for networks with large and dynamic traffic patterns.
BGP --Border Gateway Protocol. An interdomain routing protocol that replaces Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP). A BGP system exchanges reachability information with other BGP systems. BGP is defined by RFC 1163.
BGP next hop --IP address of the next hop to be used by a router to reach a certain destination.
dCEF --distributed Cisco Express Forwarding. A type of CEF switching in which line cards (such as Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) line cards) maintain identical copies of the forwarding information base (FIB) and adjacency tables. The line cards perform the express forwarding between port adapters; this relieves the Route Switch Processor of involvement in the switching operation.
export packet --Type of packet built by a device (for example, a router) with NetFlow services enabled that is addressed to another device (for example, the NetFlow Collection Engine). The packet contains NetFlow statistics. The other device processes the packet (parses, aggregates, and stores information on IP flows).
fast switching --Cisco feature in which a route cache is used to expedite packet switching through a router.
flow --A set of packets with the same source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, source/destination ports, and type-of-service, and the same interface on which the flow is monitored. Ingress flows are associated with the input interface, and egress flows are associated with the output interface.
MPLS --Multiprotocol Label Switching. An emerging industry standard for the forwarding of packets along a normally routed path (sometimes called MPLS hop-by-hop forwarding).
NetFlow --A Cisco IOS application that provides statistics on packets flowing through the router. It is emerging as a primary network accounting and security technology.
NetFlow Aggregation --A NetFlow feature that lets you summarize NetFlow export data on an IOS router before the data is exported to a NetFlow data collection system such as the NetFlow Collection Engine. This feature lowers bandwidth requirements for NetFlow export data and reduces platform requirements for NetFlow data collection devices.
NetFlow Collection Engine (formerly NetFlow FlowCollector)--Cisco application that is used with NetFlow on Cisco routers and Catalyst series switches. The NetFlow Collection Engine collects packets from the router that is running NetFlow and decodes, aggregates, and stores them. You can generate reports on various aggregations that can be set up on the NetFlow Collection Engine.
NetFlow v9 --NetFlow export format Version 9. A flexible and extensible means for carrying NetFlow records from a network node to a collector. NetFlow Version 9 has definable record types and is self-describing for easier NetFlow Collection Engine configuration.
RP --Route Processor. A processor module in the Cisco 7000 series routers that contains the CPU, system software, and most of the memory components that are used in the router. Sometimes called a Supervisory Processor.

Burger King to Drop Mascot, Start Washing Vegetables
Major fast food chains generally prefer to have kiddie touchers for mascots. But trend-setting Burger King has had enough with its "creepy" king. Get ready to experience what one expert calls "the Whole Foods effect":
In a new ad campaign set to air this weekend, Burger King will nationally roll out the California Whopper on Monday, made with what's arguably the gastronomic trend of 2011: guacamole. In a serious image twist, the entire commercial shows only the sights and sounds of the fresh ingredients being washed, sliced and diced. There are no words, just pulsating music.
Wow, Burger King actually washes its produce now. And guacamole is a "trend"?

I'm having a big problem with Zonealarm Extreme Security in which after a few hours I lose my connection to my home network. When it happens, I am unable to connect to anything on the network, including the router, my other computers on the network, or anything on the internet. My newsgroup reader provides the only clue as to what is happening as it tells me "there is not enough memory to initialize the winsock driver", other than this message I get no errors in the event log.
The affected computer has a wired connection to the router, one of the XP computers has a wired connection and the other has a wireless connection. My other computers are both using windows xp pro x86 and also have zonealarm but this problem never happens on them. I had the same problem with zonealarm in vista home premium x86 on this machine, but I removed vista and put xp on here and the problem didn't happen. This happens on a clean install of Win7x64 with only zonealarm installed too.
Affected versions of zonealarm...

All of my hardware drivers are up to date.
The only way for me to restore my connection is to reboot the computer. I have tried repairing winsock and LSP but the problem returns everytime. I have also tried disabling ipv6. Using the repair and diagnostics of the nic card and connection does not work, it only reports that there is a problem causing the test to fail when trying to connect to the microsoft test address. I have also tried disabling and reenabling the nic card. I have also run deep virus, rootkit, and malware scans, and have run memtest86+ for 17 passes (around 34 hours worth of testing).
No matter what I do though, I still get the same "not enough memory to initialize winsock" problem.

China's biggest initial public offering this year is raising US$218 million of its Hong Kong IPO from Japanese investors, even as tensions mount between Beijing and Tokyo over islands in the East China Sea.
Chinese state-owned insurer People's Insurance Co. (Group) of China Ltd., which has raised $3.1 billion from its IPO, will start trading in Hong Kong on Friday. But the tranche allotted to Japanese investors – called public offering without listing, or POWL—was well-received, Daiwa Securities Group Inc., lead underwriter for the Japanese offering, said. About 7% of the shares were sold to Japanese investors.

Right now, adding JavaScript dependencies to a ClojureScript project is doable, but more difficult than it should be. Even assuming the use of lein-cljsbuild, one must always add appropriate :libs and/or :foreign-libs and/or :externs options to each build invocation...not just once (e.g. when packaging a JavaScript library as part of a ClojureScript library), but in every situation where such dependencies are used.
Addressing this for foreign libs is probably not practical, but we should be able to extend the treatment of goog.* dependencies (embodied in cljs.closure/goog-dependencies*) to any Google Closure-ready JavaScript library/module. In short, this would look like:
1. At load-time in cljs.closure, scan the classpath for all .js files
3. Include the resulting maps in js-dependency-index.
Sound sane? Not sure if it'll work or not, but if it does, it'd make packaging and use of JavaScript libraries from ClojureScript much easier IMO.
This definitely works, and it's remarkably easy. All the pieces are already there (I hadn't grokked exactly what was going on with the existing classpath scanning for named :libs and such). You can see the behaviour that would apply right now by adding :libs [""] to your build config; the criteria being used now is that the string in :libs is the prefix of the classpath entries that are found and used automatically.
I don't have strong opinions about this. This another ticket that needs some feedback from users. Perhaps ask people on the ClojureScript mailing list to try this out and find out if it addresses pain points? Thanks Chas.
I'll see what I can do to drum up interest and such (though I get the distinct impression that very, very few people are actively trying to use JavaScript libraries as dependencies, as opposed to "simply" vendoring them into their apps).
Anyway, in the meantime, I downgraded the priority to 'trivial', since there's an easy workaround (as described in my previous comment and documented e.g. here).
This is subsumed by
CLJS-656, closing.

Nate Paolasso's Blog
I'm an 18 year old college student that writes about video games and I hope that it translates, one day, into a career. Michigan is where I curently reside. I am attending Michigan State University, majoring in Journalism. Landing a position at a major gaming website it my ultimate goal, which I plan to achieve.
I believe that games can do so much more than any other medium in terms of entertainment and interaction. Not only that, but video games are just beginning to explore new territories that only movies and books could previously touch on. It's truly a great time to be a gamer. My favorite types of games are stealth and both eastern and western RPG's. If I'm not writing about games, then I am playing them. I am here because video games.
I enjoy all feedback; it let's me know how to improve! Contact me on Twitter @NatePaolasso or through e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: I have a 1978 R80/7 with R100S components/engine from the same year. My ignition has two positions. Park (no headlight) and headlight. I recently pulled the fuse relocator that was on my top plate, mainly to make room for my cables to have room for proper routing. There were four wires on the relocator. After pulling those out, my headlight comes on in both positions. Everything else works properly, so I figure it has to be simple. I have no idea if my fuse block is stock to my bike, and neither Clymer's or Haynes shows this board. There is a wiring diagram in Clymer's but it doesn't reference the DIN codes. I found pics of a 1980 R100 RT/RS block that matches mine. I'm hoping that someone can help identify what is amiss. I mentioned this in another thread, and someone rightly questioned why there is a green wire in the red area at position 30. But I pulled it off and nothing changed. What I am really wondering is if it makes a difference which post you get in a coded area, as long as it's in the right area. I assume that since there are contacts on the back that cover the area, this would be correct? Mine. Board front. Board back.

RUBY Cowling-Scaife had a plan for when she went into labour. Unfortunately, her identical twin sister Coral didn't.
Coral suffered sympathetic pain during her sister's labour when Ruby gave birth to Lyle nine months ago.
Ruby had painkillers during a protracted three-day labour, but could only watch as her sister endured similar agony without the relief from drugs.
Coral was in Kingaroy, two hours' drive away from Ruby in Nambour when her "symptoms" began with a sense of uneasiness.
She phoned home and discovered Ruby had headed to hospital in the belief that the baby was on the way.
Ruby had returned home by the time Coral arrived to be with her.
Within 24 hours, Coral began to feel sick, which she initially put down to some "bad Indian takeaway".
But when she collapsed in a shower, friends who came to help realised she was in synch with her labouring sister.
"She was having contractions at the same time," Coral said.
Coral's pain worsened as Ruby's labour progressed.
"At one stage, I got down on all fours and rocked because that was the only way I could make my back feel better," Coral said.
"Every time she had a contraction, I would throw up."
Ruby eventually was given pethidine to help with the pain of a posterior position birth but she felt sorry watching her sister in agony.
"It was terrible to watch," she said.
"I kept on asking the nurses to give her the pethidine but they couldn't because she wasn't the one having the baby."
Coral, who was sick in the early stages of Ruby's pregnancy, believes she may have experienced morning sickness for her sister.
Pregnancy and labour are not the first time the identical twins have shared things.
They often finish each other's sentences, and have been known to get the same haircuts, buy the same clothes or even the same gifts without the other knowing.
They shared one heart-beat in the womb. Without the benefit of scans 31 years ago, their mother did not realise she was having twins until she gave birth.
As children, Ruby felt the pain when Coral broke her arm and legs in separate incidents.
Ruby recently felt ill when Coral, unbeknown to her, suffered an anaphylactic reaction.
"It was almost like I was on drugs. I was running around doing all sorts of stuff. I did all my housework in a night. I couldn't sleep, kept rolling around," she said.
"And then my other sister rang and said she (Coral) had to go to hospital."
Ruby could be in for a rough ride.
Coral is 15 weeks' pregnant, with a baby due in January.
They can only wait and see if Ruby experiences her pain.
Coral and Ruby feature in a book, A World of Twins, by Helga Dalla.

Having two guys, two middle infielders, in Cleveland named Cabrera will probably lead to some confusion. No one has gotten Orlando Cabrera and me confused yet, but I'm sure it's bound to happen.
Everyone calls him "OC" and they call me "AC." We pretty much just have to ignore everyone who yells out or calls us "Cabrera." If someone wants to get our attention, they have to call us by AC or OC.
Orlando is a great guy, and I am happy he is my teammate this year. I met him a few years ago. He's a good player and a really great person. We hung out a lot during Spring Training.
Orlando is a guy who has been playing shortstop his whole career. When he came here, they decided to move him to second base. He got the news and took the challenge. That just shows you what type of guy and teammate he is. He always wants to do what is best for the team.
He has helped me make a couple of adjustments to my game that have been very beneficial. One of the things Orlando specifically helped me with is my swing. He suggested that I put a little pop into my bat and try to hit the ball a bit harder. I know that he knows what he is doing, so I gave it a try during Spring Training. It's been good so far.
I am still a singles guy. I know my game. We have other guys here to hit a lot of home runs. Still, he likes to tell me to use my big swing more.
Orlando is also great to have around the clubhouse. He's very talkative and fun to be around. He's one of those guys that you need on your team. He keeps the guys loose and keeps the team together. He has that veteran presence that younger guys look up to. He has won before, and that is very important.
He has changed teams a lot lately, but I hope Orlando sticks around with the Indians for a while. Nowadays, you never know if you're going to be around the whole year or not. Still, I believe we have a great combination going at second base and shortstop.
Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera has been an offensive spark for the Ameican League Central-leading Indians, with his five home runs (one short of his career-high) tied for the club lead and his 21 RBIs tops on the Tribe. His first-year teammate, Orlando Cabrera, has played in close to 1,900 games over his career. This year, he is hitting .277 and is second on the club with 19 RBIs.

Inclusive design means that the workplace should adapt to the person, and not the other way round. We don't make complicated furnishings. We make comfortable furniture – for people," says product developer Arne Ekbom. With over 30 years' experience in our development department, he knows everything about human diversity.
"People sit differently in different cultures. The local differences can also be substantial. Take the Dutch, for example. They are actually the tallest in Europe – but also the shortest. Many generations of immigration have contributed to the extremes. That's the kind of thing you need to know when you develop a task chair," says Ekbom, who specialises in seating furniture.
The fundamental principle is that all task chairs must be flexible, with adjustments that take account of variations in weight, height, gender and so on. Apart from that, height is distributed unevenly across our lower legs, thighs and back. The centre of gravity is also distributed differently between the lower and upper body. That's why the height of the chair must be adjustable, as well as the depth and inclination of the seat and the height of the backrest and headrest. And, perhaps most important of all: the level of resistance of the tilting function must be adjustable according to the user in order for the chair to give optimal support. A task chair is one of the most complex products you can set out to develop.
"Compare this with the car industry. Regardless of the make of car, the fundamental principles are the same. But in the case of task chairs, there can be really big differences between solutions. For the user, every chair is a new experience. It's not just a case of sitting down and "driving off". That's why it's so important that we get it right. And that it becomes simple. A decisive factor for us has been that we've had the resources to develop our own platform," Ekbom explains.
The platform was designed by Kinnarps' own development team in the early 1990s. We started work by gathering lots of information from ergonomists, physiotherapists and users. In close cooperation with the industrial designer Björn Alge, the classic Kinnarps chairs 6000 and 8000 were created. They were basically the same chair, but what differentiated them was the actual mechanism or tilting function. The 6000 was equipped with FreeFloatTM, a mechanism which creates a very active way of sitting.
"Ergonomists like to say that your best position is your next position. The seat and the back follow the body's movements completely independently of each other. The body is stimulated the whole time, in a natural way. That was a big innovation at the time, but today it's an industry standard."
The 8000 was equipped with SynchroneTM, a mechanism customised for users who did not feel comfortable with "floating around" but who nevertheless wanted to sit actively. "It was our own variation on what's called 'synchron tilt', where the chair's seat and back follow each others' movements. There were already synchron tilts on the market, but many people had the impression that they were 'tipping over', that it felt as if they were lying down in a dentist's chair. Our version was designed with smaller movements. The user hardly notices the opening of the hip joint that the tilting movement causes, but nevertheless gets a safe and healthy variation in the way they sit." When they were launched in 1993 there were already 52 versions of the 6000 and 8000, with two mechanisms, two seats and four backrests, headrests and a number of different armrests. So that everyone could find the perfect combination.
"Today we have sold almost 4 million task chairs with this platform and we are the biggest in Europe. The principle is still the same." "The customers should feel confident that they have made a longterm and sustainable investment. If the chair needs to be repaired or freshened up after being used for a long time, it's easy to get hold of spare parts and replace them. We help the customers to economise with resources and avoid throwing things away."
At the same time, Ekbom and his colleagues are continuing to develop task chairs to keep pace with working life. The internet has brought about many changes. Suddenly we can work wherever we like, whenever we like. The need for traditional individual workplaces is declining. Instead, employees share a number of desks between them, and many of them also change their workplace several times a day.
"In the activity-based office, intuitive design is especially important. A chair should be easy to adjust and customise to the individual. So this year we launched an entirely new chair, developed for the activitybased office. Capella, which was designed by Johan Larsvall and Nils Löventorn at Idesign, has a new mechanism which we call FreeMotion. Here, as well, the idea is to have active sitting with as few adjustments as possible. Among other features, the seat has an inbuilt function with micromovements which counteracts the tendency to sit still."
The only question is, where will it all end? Will we become so mobile that we no longer need task chairs? "Oh, no!" Ekbom laughs. "We'll always want to have a chair to sit on. People are lazy by nature."

No, it was always, u1, v1, u2, v2 etc. Why? Because no force was acting on those objects. When a racket head hits a ball, it is accelerating just prior to impact. So, conservation of momentum cannot be applied.

Today we talk about our next Favorite Movie Actor nominee. And this guy, if you ask me, is almost not human. Because he's a massive star in several disciplines and he never seems to slow down …if anything, he attracts more and more fans as he goes along, wins over doubters, and gets a little more skilled in everything at which he tries his hand – year after year. Most startlingly cool to me? He has hosted awards shows and actually won awards for hosting them. That's 360 degrees of talent, in my opinion.
I am of course speaking of Hugh Jackman.
Actor/singer/dancer/host/father/husband/major philanthropist. When did you first notice Hugh? I have to say that I was never an X-Men fan, so that when the first X Men came out in 2000 it flew right over my head. I didn't know from Hugh Jackman until Kate & Leopold, the romantic comedy in which he starred alongside Meg Ryan. Which of course is right in my movie preference wheelhouse. However, the guy's star in the US rose sooo fast that Kate & Leopold, Swordfish, and X Men could each be first HJ sightings for lots of people — but few could tell you which came first.
He was born in Australia in 1968 to English parents and by all reports was well-liked and rugged and active and popular and essentially just what you think a boy who'd grow up to be Hugh Jackman would be like. I'm a big fan of the movies Scoop, The Prestige and Australia: the suspenseful, romantic, funny (and occasionally all three) ones. In fact, Australia didn't even get good reviews; I felt it one of those huge sprawling epics that should be graded only on the scenery and the number of times Hugh saves a person or an animal by zinging by on a horse at ninety miles an hour. Thus, it was quite satisfying.
But what makes this guy so unusual is that he can transition very easily from actor to host – as in, an awards show host, and as we've seen in several not-so-great attempts by other actors over the years, hosting is a special skill and it takes a pretty unique personality. In fact, few can do it as well as Hugh, because one needs the right amount of confidence (and sometimes bravado) coupled with a sense of fun – but they've also got to be able to laugh at themselves, which this guy can certainly do. The dancing and singing part – which is cake for him – helps. He won a Tony Award for The Man From Oz on Broadway, based on the life story of Aussie singer-dancer-showman Peter Allen. But perhaps his neatest trick is the fact that he actually won an Emmy for his hosting of the Tonys (which he did several times) and then of course went on to host the Oscars; there are still plenty of people who feel he was the best one ever. Not surprisingly, he's also won a People's Choice Award and been nominated four times.
Right now Jackman's got a ton of movies lined up, notably the lead in Les Miserables (for a show I never cared about on Broadway, they're certainly loading up the movie with a great cast so I'll have to see it). He's also slated to play circus ringleader P.T. Barnum, which probably won't be too much of a stretch. And of course, there's the one-man show on Broadway, which is going on as I write this. Pretty much the toughest ticket to get, too…and it's in no way surprising. So the guy's a master showman and a pretty magnetic force in entertainment. Is Hugh Jackman your favorite movie actor? Let us know your thoughts and tell us which of his movies you love most.

San Antonio police: Man stuck jalapeño into boy's eye
Updated 2:40 pm, Friday, February 28, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Police arrested a man Thursday after he reportedly stuck a jalapeño pepper into the eye of a 9-year-old boy on the Northwest Side.
Michael Barron, 29, told the boy's mother about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday that he was going to shove a jalapeño pepper into the boy's mouth, said Sandy Gutierrez, spokeswoman for the San Antonio Police Department.
The mother warned Barron not to touch the child, Gutierrez said.
At that point, Barron reached over the table and "intentionally" stuck the pepper into the boy's left eye, Gutierrez said.
The mother pushed Barron away from the boy, who fell to the floor and grabbed his eye, crying in pain, Gutierrez said.
The boy's eye was swollen and irritated, Gutierrez said.
Officers were called to the scene.
"The mother was upset and crying and the boy seemed to be afraid," Gutierrez said.
Barron was charged with injury to a child. He also was served with an outstanding failure to appear warrant connected to a check forgery charge. He was remanded without bail on that warrant.
