Better, Faster (somewhat), Stronger!
In October I spun a rod bearing, cylinder 1 I believe. After much deliberation and forum browsing I have decided on my course of action;
1. I am keeping her N/A. She's going to be my DD.
2. I want to rebuild the motor I have.
3. I want to build it better than stock.
4. I want to keep all "upgrades" within the stock ECU parameters.
I have done some basic research bouncing around forums, and this is where I'm at parts wise. Of course this is speculative, and I welcome additional information or opinions. BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND MY 4 OBJECTIVES ABOVE.
STI oil pump or after market oil pump (I forget the name, I have it written down somewhere). Anything bigger then 7mm.
Port the oil pick up lines for smoother flow.
Eagle piston rods (they'll be needed down the road)
Pistons I'm not sure on, hoping for insight from yall.
'04-'06 EJ257/255 head gasket -p/n 11044AA642 Port and polish heads, intake and header to match.
Delta cams - stage 2 regrinds?
Valve train leave alone?
New valves and stem seals
'05 RS engine mounts, GrPN trans mount, urethane filled differential mounts. This will ease the bucking when letting off the throttle? Yes?
Hypersingle clutch with spring hub and lighter flywheel
Oh and light weight pulleys.
I welcome all opinions and advice, so what do yall think?
who's/how are you going to tune it once you do all these mods?
it's been tried and tested to the point of diarrhea & vomiting on NASIOC and 2.5RS. building n/a subaru motors comes out to be widely not worth the cost for what you gain from it. that is why so many GC8 guys do bolt-on turbo kits at like 3psi, and why 3rd gen legacy guys do sti swaps.
^^ Exactly
Without upgrading your ECU to recalculate for the additional air/fuel, the motor is going to run rougher than you think.
Why - because I don't have +8k for a STI swap. I'd like to maintain a DD aspect. And I don't feel like spending one too two months merging the two harnesses. Most of what I have compiled came from a guy on RS25 who did a N/A build and made some decent power at the wheels. Now I far from expect the output he made, he did some serious and respectable work on his ride. I just want this motor to be the best it can be.
Also I'm not a huge fan of boosting vehicles that didn't come with a stock turbo. Personal preference.
I'm trying do to as much as I can with out tuning. From what I've come to understand my ECU isn't tuneable and piggy backs just cause problems.
Also aren't the cams the only mod that would require tuning?
cams, pnp head, and pistons(which would mean your CR would probably change a little) are all issues that need to be tuned for. plus, how do you think the engine is going to make power for these mods? the engine isn't magically going to be faster with physical upgrades, you need a tune in order to allow for the performance to happen. it's just not a good thing to dump money into. you'd be better off just finding a suitable replacement and DD'ing it.
Cams and Pistons I can agree with, PnP eh I dunno about that. I'm not trying to start an argument, but how can you say the engine wouldn't be faster with physical changes??? Different cams means a longer or shorter duration of the valves opening, direct effect to performance. A change in CR, direct effect to performance. Granted you do need to tune to maximize the changes made, but to say simply changing the parts won't benefit the performance is naive. Having said that I thank you for your input. :D
What you want is a completely stock engine.
I'm not bashing you. I'm being completely serious.
If anything, get groupN motor and transmission mounts, but skip the pitch stop, as it's not any different with the groupN.
Don't get a lightweight flywheel or a crazy clutch setup on a car that doesn't need it. You will hate yourself every time you have to change gear in your daily drive.
You can't build that engine better than Subaru did, especially since you aren't going to run a standalone/tune.
Not gonna weigh in one way or the other but I would love to see this build thread
Was there a lol or Haha following the statement?
Post #75
Lingling about 3/4 of what I want to do came from the above thread. Happy reading! Lol.
I saw a show one time, they took an Impreza and put a high flow intake and exhaust on it and lost horsepower. Then had it tuned and it was well over the stock level.
Point being, our ECUs are picky and any little change in airflow needs to ecu work.
tuning all of that plus higher octane would be good plus removing the drive by wire delay is nice.
What are your plans for it in the future? All the mods you have mentioned even with a tune won't help the n/a all that much. You need forced induction.
Future plans are just keep it DD. Now if something horrible happens to the motor (knock on wood) that's opens up new options. EZ30 more then likely. I'm just trying to give her more pep in her step. Without shoving air down her throat.
Only my opinion, but if it is just going to be a daily driver, rebuild it without spending extra on beefy rods and pistons. Delta cams would be nice and cheap. I am not sure if the OEM valvetrain will be sufficient. Then tune it for the best gas you have in your area. The tune will make the biggest difference, performance will be worse if you don't.
H6 swap. Done. The whole n/a 4 cylinder high comp bs has been beaten to death. Yes its cool to say you have a decent amount of power naturally, but you'll be out of money very fast. Being able to drive it every day comfortably is most important in a daily driver. Best to leave it as is.
You could also swap in a EG33D like someone mentioned above would be a great engine to run with a MT. There is a decent amount of work involved but you seem to be up for the task.
Any h6. Doesnt have to be an eg33.
Skip the EZ36D for complexity sake
Yeah the H6 drop in would be nice but the harness merge can be mean things like making the tach work properly and speed sensors are often overlooked by folks wanting to take the swap by the horns :lol:
Actually sell the car and pick up one the same year just with the 30D and swap gear boxes. Done and done.
For now I'm just going to;
PNP the heads and header. Maybe the intake mani.
upgrade the oil pump and smooth out the oil pick/ return lines
Delta 1000 cams
and haven't fully decided about the valve train and springs.
I love these lil emoticons!
I decided..
3.0 H6 w/ 9psi Raptor SC & E85 fuel :)
It is common knowledge that head work on a EJ is VERY affective and VERY expensive :lol: so DIY PnP job would be both educational and cost effective and power yielding. Also PnP the IM is a good idea as well those casting tab are numerous no doubt a de-burring would improve flow. Once you get start throw up some pick and info about tools used for the smoothing out, Im sure many of us would like to know!
I think I should be able to accommodate your request. I actually intended to document the whole endeavor from beginning to end, it'd be my first write up. :)
I think it would be easier with an EZ30R.
Although, it should be noted that I own a 2004 Outback with an EZ30D; if there is a way to make it hook up to a manual gearbox I would be ecstatic hahahaha.

Look Stars I don't care what exactly they're spraying, what bugs me is that its secret and they do it allot. That implies that it may not be in our best interests. Also I'm now further bothered at the potential effects its having on our planets weather patterns and currents. BTW you watched it? For the record, I dont buy that. The guy in the video is highly qualified, has performed tests, works closely with large international research groups... This has 0 credibility to you? just cuz he is on youtube?

You don't think the average person knows how contrails are naturally formed and how the weather system works?
When actually it's quite the opposite, people are seeing things that DO NOT fit the "natural" system of things and have good reason to question. Especially when there are hundreds of patents since the 50s that support the arguement for ariel spraying, toss in photo evidence and people's eyewitness accounts, and you have more than probable cause to question these things.

Okay, let me fill you in on some actual facts about clouds I LEARNED about because I didn't know.
An average cumulus cloud, the white puffy ones you see on a nice summer day, weighs 550 tons.
To make that cloud would require 50 tanker planes to spray. Each.
So unless you see fleets of planes overheads, there is no such thing as a fake cloud.
It is physically impossible. If you understood about the atmosphere and how it works, you would know that fake clouds and "chemtrails" are both impossible. Illogical, too.
During the Vietnam war, the Americans launched Project Popeye, a secret mission to seed the tops of monsoon clouds and trigger phenomenal downpours that would wash away the Ho Chi Minh Trail used for ferrying supplies. For five years Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos were sprayed during the monsoons, and military intelligence claimed that rainfall was increased by a third in some places.
It only came to an end in March 1971 when [Washington Post] journalist Jack Anderson exposed the project and caused such a public furor that the UN general assembly approved a universal treaty banning environmental warfare.
Past experiences tell us to be wary of tampering with the weather. In 1947, meteorologists tried to kill off a dying hurricane out at sea by seeding the clouds. The following day, the hurricane suddenly gathered strength, swung round and hit Savannah, Georgia causing extensive damage. The weather boffins were so rattled by the disaster it was not until August 1969 that they dared try again. When Hurricane Debbie was 700 miles out at sea, they flew three seeding missions around its eye, where tropical storms are at their most intense, but the results were mixed - with each seeding the hurricane's winds were reduced and each time they picked up again.
So what? You think rainwater is immune from picking up dust in the air as it falls?
Hes tested rainwater numerous times
He sells solar panels.
hes an expert in renewable energy
What sort of research? Pointing at contrails and declaring "chemtrail?"
hes with the website geoengeneeringwatch (international research)
Weight and balance testing for aircraft.
What do you think those planes full of interconnected tanks are used for?
Atmospheric sampling. That is a NOAA aircraft.
Those ramjet-looking dispersion nozzles?
hes a respected researcher and knows what hes talking about.

Press Coverage of Schaller Consulting
Cars Clogging New York? Most Are From the City
New York Times, Jan. 12, 2007, page 1
By examining a wealth of data collected by government agencies, a detailed and often surprising portrait of traffic in New York City emerges.
"There's a lot of myths, and when you look at the data, the myths go pop, pop, pop, one by one," said Bruce Schaller, a transportation consultant who has studied regional traffic patterns.
That Wild Taxi Ride Is Safer Than You Think, a Study Says
New York Times, April 28, 2006
In a city where almost everyone has a story about zigzagging through traffic in a hair-raising, white-knuckled cab ride, a new traffic safety study may come as a surprise: It finds that taxis are pretty safe.
Let Traffic Flow and So Will Commerce, Groups Tell City
New York Times, February 23, 2006
Mr. Schaller's analysis, entitled "Necessity or Choice: Why People Drive to Manhattan," raises questions about how passenger cars affect the city's economy. It found that most people who drive into Manhattan below 60th Street do so because of the comfort and convenience of their cars, ignoring easily available public transportation.
Study Says Road Upkeep Will Take $9 Billion Outlay
New York Times, March 22, 2005
New York State should spend at least $9 billion over the next five years to prevent the deterioration of highways and bridges and reduce traffic congestion in the five boroughs and the surrounding suburbs, according to a New York University study to be released today.
Taxi Feud Turns Ugly at Kursky Station
Moscow Times, August 11, 2004
New Yorkers, for example, remember the numerous gypsy cabs that roamed the city's streets in the 1960s, '70s and even '80s. But in the late 1980s, the authorities decided to get tough with the gypsy cabdrivers.
The one crucial ingredient for success, though, is that "you have to have a pretty incorruptible police," Schaller said by telephone from New York.
"It can change, but it will take a long, long time," he said.
46 Years in Cab, Recalling That Tip From Marilyn
New York Times, Dec. 7, 2003, p. 1.
These days, owner-drivers like Mr. Goldstein account for less than a third of New York City cabs, and when those who lease their cabs for a second shift are factored in, the chances of getting an owner-driver when hailing a cab are less than one in six, according to Bruce Schaller, a consultant for the taxi industry. In contrast, during the 1970's, almost every driver on the road owned his cab.
Studies show that owner-drivers provide better service, have fewer accidents and know the city better, Mr. Schaller said. "It's like renting versus owning your own house," he said. "Who keeps up the place better?"
Finding the Intersection of Supply and Demand
New York Times, Nov. 23, 2003, p. B1.
Cab use goes down in New York City almost in direct correlation to declines in employment at restaurants and bars, declines the city has experienced recently, said Bruce Schaller, a former Taxi and Limousine Commission policy director who runs a cab research and consulting firm.
Amid Talk of Increasing Transit Fares, a Study Calls for a Cut
New York Times, Nov. 18, 2002
A new study of New York City subway and bus fares recommends lowering the $1.50 base fare and introducing several new MetroCard fare options as part of an effort to increase ridership and make discounts more accessible to low-income riders.
Fare Games
The New Yorker, March 18, 2002
"There are times of the day and parts of midtown where it is virtually impossible to find a cab," Bruce Schaller, the transportation consultant who designed the study, told me last week.
N.Y. Cabbies Are Missing Their Calling
Washington Post, March 26, 2002
New York cabbies have to pass physical exams, drug tests and exams for English proficiency and driver awareness -- requirements that took two decades to evolve, said Bruce Schaller, a consultant and former policy director of the Taxi and Limousine Commission.
Masses in Transit, to Anywhere but Work
New York Times, June 20, 2002
But more significantly, [the study] shows that the city seems to be in the midst of a return to the kind of relationship it had with mass transit several decades ago, before the Robert Moses era and the rise of the automobile. "What has happened here is that the transit system has essentially been reincorporated back into people's life outside of work," Mr. Schaller said.
A New York Question: Shall We Walk, or Do We Have Time to Take a Bus?
New York Times, June 10, 2002
Known as bus rapid transit, the concept, long in use in Europe, Asia and South America, is something like crossing a subway line with a bus line. Instead of buses loading as they always have, with lines of people trooping slowly up the steps and paying near the driver, bus rapid transit allows people to pay before they board, at street stations that work much the way subway stations do.
In Switch, Transit Ridership Outpaces Cars, Study Finds
New York Times, August 8, 2001
In the 1990's, for the first time since before World War II, the growth in public transit ridership outstripped the growth in auto use in the five boroughs, according to the study. In effect, the reversal suggests that the Robert Moses era, in which highway expansion and automobiles were favored at the expense of public transit, has come to an end.
Riders Knew, Study Confirms It: Taxis Harder to Find
New York Times, March 17, 2000
The analysis confirms what anyone who relies on cabs almost anywhere in Manhattan already knows: the city's surging economy is increasing the demand for a taxi supply that has not increased in several years. And the imbalance is beginning to show.

Police Scotland has launched a national campaign to tackle housebreaking across the country.
Operation RAC will be implemented in various areas to identify those responsible for break-ins and thefts and bring them to justice.
Since April 1st Police Scotland has provided dedicated resources to communities to tackle crimes of violence, sexual assaults and domestic abuse and as a result, greater numbers of these offences are being reported and solved.
During this time, the Force has observed an overall increase of around four per cent in housebreaking, with a number of areas reporting greater levels of crime than the national average.
As part of Police Scotland's commitment to community engagement, housebreaking has been identified as a local priority for certain regions and these divisions will now be provided with additional resources and support to address the issue.
The operation will initially run within Edinburgh, Forth Valley, the Lothians and Scottish Borders, Fife, Highlands and Islands, Aberdeenshire and Moray, Aberdeen city and Lanarkshire.
In each location, dedicated policing teams have been created to exclusively investigate housebreakings within homes, outbuildings and businesses and apprehend the individuals responsible.
Housebreaking offences will continue to be monitored and extra support will be provided to any area requiring a more robust response to tackle the issue.

The Mission of Nellie's Free Range Eggs
Exceed customer expectations with the best tasting, highest quality, humanely and sustainably produced free range eggs available.
At Nellie's Free Range Eggs, our family has been farming for four generations. We are totally committed—okay, a little obsessed—with bringing you the highest-quality, safest, and freshest free range eggs possible. We are a values-led company, dedicated to the humane treatment of animals and small family farms, who we believe are the best stewards of environmental sustainability.
All of our free range eggs come from small family farms like our own home farm. These are real farms, not imposters who slap a "farm-fresh" label on a factory-farm-produced egg. As the nation's first Certified Humane® egg producer since 2003, we require that our farmers follow the strictest standards of humane animal treatment, safety, and environmental sustainability. But we don't really need to convince them. Just like us, they think hens have a right to a reasonable life and that will make a better egg for you.
It's not just good for our hens and our planet—it's also good business. We stay vital by recruiting other small family farms to supply us with free range eggs, not by mega-conglomerizing.
Yet we're as efficient and productive as those factory-farm conglometrons, because we use cutting-edge production techniques and smart automation to process and distribute our eggs. In 2013, we became America's first egg producer to earn the "B-Corp Certified" designation as a For-Benefit Corporation, under the auspices of B-Labs.
We don't need to "boost efficiency" by cramming our birds into inhumanely small spaces and then force feeding them antibiotics to keep them from spreading diseases to each other.
We promise to always provide you and your family with safe, wholesome, free range eggs at a reasonable price.

STATE — Average retail gasoline prices in New Jersey have risen 4.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.46/g yesterday. This compares with the national average that has increased 3.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.47/g, according to gasoline price website NewJerseyGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in New Jersey during the past week, prices yesterday were 45.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 18.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 12.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 34.8 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report showed similar numbers, with a current average price of $3.478 per gallon up from $3.426 a week ago.
"Retail gasoline prices have continued to slowly rise across a majority of the United States," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "With the exception of one state- Wyoming- all states are seeing their gasoline prices averaging over $3/gallon again, with some of the largest cities- New York City and Los Angeles closing in on $4/gallon," DeHaan said.

Quick Reference
In sport sociology, a perspective that attempts to problematize the everyday and familiar aspects of sport by questioning how practices in sport are constructed, why they have been constructed in certain ways, and who or what categories of individuals benefit from the way sport is constructed. A critique usually involves an analysis relating individual events to wider social, political, and economic contexts.

Men's Permanent Hair Removal
If you are a gentleman with unwanted hair, it can be very difficult, painful, and frustrating to deal with. Common solutions, like waxing and shaving, have their own problems, including unsightly stubble, razor burn and ingrown hairs.
But now, thanks to the latest technology from the US, permanent hair removal for men is not only possible, it's easy, fast and effective.
Find out more about the most advanced hair removal technology in Australia here.
Laser technology is amazing. It uses light energy that is converted into heat energy. Then, using the most precise targeting available, it destroys the melanin in the follicle. This damages the follicle, and after your recommended number of sessions, it is no longer viable.
This means significantly reduced regrowth, or no regrowth at all. And unlike shaving or waxing every day, week and month, our laser treatment only requires a touch-up session once or twice a YEAR.
Laser also removed the stubble problem from the equation, as you don't have to wait for any regrowth before getting your next treatment. So once you visit Laser By Sia for your first session, you don't need to see that hair ever again!
How does laser get rid of ingrowns? Find out here.
Another major benefit of laser is the elimination of ingrown hairs. Because your very first treatment stops any regrowth instantly, the hair will not form an ingrown. And the heat from the laser will kill off the existing ones.
So don't waste your valuable time and money on ineffective methods. Instead, get over to a Laser By Sia clinic near you and take care of that unwanted hair once and for all. Our clinics are located in Sydney City, Bondi Junction and Castle Hill. Take advantage of a package deal just before summer!

Microfinance as "Progressive" Gender and Development Policy?: the Bangladesh Experience (Part 4) January 21, 2010Posted by Athiqah Nur Alami in Gender, International Relations, Women.
Tags: Gender, Hubungan Internasional, Women
Progressive or Burden?
It is acknowledged that studies which used the individual and the household approaches to examine the implications of microfinance on women's empowerment most often resulted in conflicting findings. This paper shows that microfinance is not a perfect development strategy in gender and development policy. The positive and negative impacts of microfinance are a two-sided coin that cannot be separated.
Based on the previous discussion, I analyze that microfinance cannot be considered as a progressive gender and development policy. First, the assessment of women's empowerment at the individual level does not show comprehensive and intact progress for women. The progress in women's empowerment always contains risks on the other side. For example, a woman may, herself, eat better and feel better able to provide more income for her family, but at the same time may have extended the length of her work day or increased the intensity of her work.
Second, microfinance practices have not adapted to a systematic approach to enabling both women and men to contribute together in the program. Microfinance practices have not reflected gender mainstreaming in the gender and development policy which emphasizes men's role. Men or husbands have not contributed positively in advancing gender equality and gender relations. For example, some studies revealed that credits have close relations with the likelihood of domestic violence.
Microfinance can cover progress in several domains of development. For example, progress in the economic domain is obvious when the credits can reduce poverty, provide continuous funds to their home, and strengthen economic conditions of the household. Also, the profits from their enterprise can increase their assets and purchasing power. Through income-generating activities in the program, women can enhance entrepreneurial skills for a sustaining empowerment.
However, their economic progress does not necessarily lead to their welfare. For instance, husbands still pay less attention to women's health and vulnerability, including nutrition issues. The domain of welfare closely relates to the domain of security in terms of the need for protection. It is true that microfinance cannot eliminate the likelihood of domestic violence, however, their participation in microfinance and economic contribution generally may reduce violence.
In the social and political domain, progress can be seen in their capability to negotiate gender-relations with their husband. The enhanced role of the women may even generate a much-needed expanded area of communication between wife and husband, including shared decision-making in domestic matters and control of the use of loans. . This ability also can help to empower husbands and children. Ultimately, progress may lead to gender-equality between women and men, at least within the household.
Social and political progress can be seen practically at the level of the collective dimension of empowerment such as in groups and in society; however, it is beyond the focus of this paper. In terms of identity, women have freedom in self-actualization and self-determination. The activities in the group also bring benefits to building confidence, knowledge and self-esteem. The domain of identity cannot be separated from culture and religion. In the case of Bangladesh, it suggests that in some instances cultural tradition undermines the progress of women's empowerment.
However, it cannot be ignored that many women in Bangladesh still believe and hold their culture sincerely, such as the respect of their husband. Ultimately the perception of progress and burden of microfinance practices depends on the way we regard the situation.
The impact of microfinance on women's empowerment at the individual level shows mixed results. While access to microfinance can and does make vital contributions to the economic productivity and social well-being of poor women and their households, it does not automatically empower women who seek to bring about a radical structural transformation.
On one hand, microfinance is still promising as one of the strategies of development. Women's empowerment through microfinance might lead to gender equality through enhanced self-confidence, resources, coping abilities, freedom of choice and power-relations. It also contributes substantially to the well-being of women, reduces women's vulnerability and poverty, and provides stable and continuous income for family. In this context, microfinance can be considered a progressive gender and development policy.
However, the achievements of microfinance on women's empowerment contain risks for women's and the family's security. There are also several quantitative and qualitative factors which could contribute to women's empowerment, particularly qualitative ones, for instance, religious beliefs, household type, and husbands' attitudes. Traditional socio-cultural norms have a significant impact on patriarchal societies like Bangladesh.
However, I acknowledge that this essay might neither explain the women's whole situation nor represent the real empowerment of women in Bangladesh. Yet, at least this essay shows the dilemma of the impact of microfinance for women's empowerment, particularly in the society where traditional beliefs and practices are deeply entrenched in women's lives.

Travel & Tourism As A Driver Of Economic Development In Jamaica
Main Author(s):
Tourism has increasingly become the primary supplier of foreign exchange to the Jamaican economy as remittance inflows and bauxite earnings experienced a major set back as a result of the global economic crisis.
Tourism is widely considered to be a key driver of the Jamaican economy. The sector plays a strong role in generating taxes, employment, income and foreign exchange inflows. Given its linkages with other production sectors, it impacts a wide cross-section of the economy.
Since the advent of tourism in Jamaica, the sector has received incentives to attract local and foreign direct investment. The Hotel Incentives Act of 1968, the Resort Cottages Incentive Act of 1971 and the Attractions Incentive Regulation have all played a major role in the development of the sector, with the addition of almost 5,000 rooms and employment growth of 19% in the accommodation sector between 2000 and 2010. Visitor arrivals also increased by 45% over the last decade, allowing tourism to contribute between US$1.3 and US$2 billion annually to the local economy.
However, the sector is currently under scrutiny in terms of the value of its contribution to the local economy. This is in reference to the tax relief it receives through incentive packages compared to other sectors, which are currently under review by policy makers. The disparities across target incentives to investments in particular economic sectors are undergoing imminent reform as part of the overall economic development strategy for Jamaica and to help meet the revenue demands of the country's budget.
In light of this, the Jamaican Hotel & Tourist Association (JHTA) commissioned this study to explore how tourism compares with other sectors in terms of its potential to drive economic development. Whilst the JHTA recognizes the need for tax reform, it wishes to show the appropriateness of supporting tourism as a driver of economic progress.
The research includes two main parts. The first is a statistical, quantitative analysis of the economic role of the tourism. The second is more qualitative set of viewpoints gleaned from consultations with stakeholders within and outside the tourism sector to identify the key strengths and weaknesses of the tourism sector. From these research bases, we conclude with a summary of findings and their implications on how public policy and private sector strategy can best capitalize on the economic opportunities presented by tourism in Jamaica.

Downing has agreed a four-year deal with West Ham and he follows Andy Carroll in making a permanent move from Anfield to Upton Park this summer.
The 29-year-old midfielder, who has won 34 caps for England, is West Ham's fifth new recruit of the summer following the signings of Carroll, Romania captain Razvan Rat, Spanish goalkeeper Adrian and midfielder Danny Whitehead.
Downing is ready to compete for a place in the West Ham side to face Cardiff on Saturday on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
"I'm very excited," said Downing, who is predominantly a left winger but spent a lot of time playing at left-back for Liverpool last season.
"It's a great opportunity for me being here, it's a great club and I'm really excited to get going.
"I'm ready and I'm fit for the first game against Cardiff City. I've played a decent few games for Liverpool in pre-season, so there will be no problems on that front.
"It's all happened quickly, but I'm really excited and hoping to play a part on Saturday."

AeroSleep technology
The AeroSleep technology is unique and ensures that babies all over the world can sleep safely and hygienically. Moreover, our products are also practical to use and maintain.
Your baby´s sleeping environment
Young babies easily sleep 18 hours a day - and that immediately makes clear the importance of having a good mattress. In brief, it must satisfy the following criteria:
- firm
- air-permeable
- clean
- fits well in the bed.
Protect your baby and your mattress
If you don´t protect your mattress against moisture and soiling, it can quickly turn into a hotbed of bacteria, so it´s best to protect the mattress with a mattress protector. However, an ordinary mattress protector negates the air permeability characteristics of a mattress. So how do we ensure that a mattress protector is both air-permeable and constitutes a barrier against all those "bed bugs"?
Easy, thanks to the unique 3D technology of AeroSleep! The strong 3D honeycomb structure of the AeroSleep mattress protector has a layer of air that cannot be compressed. At the bottom there is a watertight protection layer. Therefore our mattress protector is simultaneously air-permeable and it functions as a natural shield against bacteria and allergens.
AeroSleep´s unique technology offers 3 major advantages:
1. Safe
The strong 3D honeycomb structure protects your baby against overheating and allows your child to always breathe freely, even if laying on his or her stomach.
2. Hygienic
The AeroSleep Protect mattress protector is composed of three layers. The 3D structure or air-permeable layer, the absorbent layer and the watertight protection layer. Any moisture coming from the diaper or due to spitting up flows through the open 3D structure and is captured by the absorbent layer. So your baby can continue to breathe. The watertight layer, finally, holds back the moisture and functions as a natural shield. The mattress stays clean and your child remains protected against bacteria and allergens. Without the addition of any chemicals.
3. Practical as well!
Is the mattress protector dirty? Then you can just pop the whole thing in the washing machine and clean it at 60°C. To avoid bits of fluff from getting caught, it is best to wash the protector reversed, with the 3D structure outwards.

One Foot Productions and Strong Brew have teamed up for the inaugural Bear Music Fest. The all-inclusive music festival will take place Friday through Sunday, Sept. 9 to 11, at Lair of the Golden Bear, off upper Highway 108 near Pinecrest.
Three-day passes — which include meals, lodging and all shows and events — are on sale at bearmusicfest.com/passes.
"The concept behind the festival is to create an intimate and immersive musical experience in nature which fosters deep connections both to the music and to the musicians themselves," said Executive Producer Kevin Merritt. "By only offering weekend passes (no single day or two-day passes) both the attendees and the artists are committed to this temporary community built on a common love and appreciation for the diversity of live music."
Merritt said that Bear Music Fest is all about maximizing that experience for festivalgoers.
"Our goal is to combine the nostalgia of summer camp and the intimacy of a friend's house party with a professionally produced music festival in a natural setting," he said.
The Bay Area band Mother Hips will jam out on the main stage both nights. Joining them in the musical lineup is Chicago-based The Main Squeeze along with Q Brothers, Tornado Rider, Eric Stuart Band, Bayonics and more.
Caleb Hawley will fly in from New York City and join the up-and-coming Eugene Marie for their debut record release.
Kevin So, Risa Binder and Menna will arrive from Nashville to deliver some classic (and not so classic) southern sounds.
"You know that feeling you get before, during and after a concert?," asked Executive Producer Leah Harper-Lane. "Wanting to share that feeling is why I got into this business, but I practically lived in production offices, or onsite at music venues. Then three years ago, my husband and I moved from New York City to the Bay Area, and the landscape changed my perspective. I felt rejuvenated by the outdoors, fresh air and an ability to escape. So when Kevin approached me about Bear Music Fest in Pinecrest, I knew it was the best of both worlds. BMF is for music lovers, nature lovers, and those rejuvenated by the energy of family and friends. We are bringing human connection back to its roots: laughing, drinking and dancing in the woods."


text: 24 April 2012American actress Gwyneth Paltrow has claimed that skincare creams and a good beauty regime help to preserve her youthful and vibrant look, but cosmetic surgery experts are not so sure. According to a report by Celebrity Dirty Laundry, the 39-year-old, who is known best for her roles in Sliding Doors and The Talented Mr Ripley, is believed to have undergone surgical procedures in recent months.It has been suggested that Paltrow may have undergone minor rhinoplasty surgery to widen her nostrils. In addition, the report said other treatments the star may have had include eye and brow lifts, as well as laser surgery and chemical peel treatments. But writing in her newsletter, Gloop, the actress maintains that her looks are down to the use of natural skincare products made by a British firm. She said products which include "natural, high-quality ingredients", including a moisturiser, bath gel and an active anti-wrinkle serum are the secret to her complexion. Paltrow admitted: "I had to work hard to get it like this, but now I'm here it's so great because I don't have to think about it. I can just enjoy life. What a relief is that."

Continuing on the series of "snowfall near Delhi", today I will share the third article which suggests five more places to see Snowfall in Uttarakhand. Winters have settled again in most parts of Himalayas like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh, Kashmir, etc.. And also, it is time that many of the high altitude places like Leh – Ladakh, Spiti Valley, Lahaul Valley, Pangi Valley, Zanskar Valley, etc.. will go under hibernation for about next 5-6 months. However, having said that, the lower hills of Himachal, Uttarakhand and Kashmir will still be connected and becomes the favourable spots for lovers of Himalayas. This is especially true for the ones who are fond of snowfall or snow in particular 🙂 …
In these winter months of December, January and February, there are many places in Uttarakhand where one can see snow or snowfall near Delhi and I have already covered five of them in the last article linked below. In this article, I will share five more such places I know in Uttarakhand to enjoy snowfall 🙂 🙂 … Like I said in other articles, by saying "Near Delhi", I mean the places which can be covered in 3 – 5 days of trip from Delhi at max or you can say long weekend trips from Delhi for seeing snowfall or snow. Beyond 3 – 5 days, there are more viable options I believe but let's know some places where you can travel over long weekend from Delhi to see snow or snowfall.
1. Harsil (Sukhi Top) – Dharali
Harsil is about 14 Hrs of drive or 470 KMs odd from Delhi and located at an altitude of 2620 Mtrs (7860 Feet). It is about 25 KMs before Gangotri temple and just couple of KMs ahead of Harsil lies Dharali which is equally picturesque location as of Harsil but has a long market now. So, anything in between can be as good as it can get to be away from crowd. You can follow the route as Delhi – Rishikesh – Chamba – Uttarkashi – Harsil. You can reach Uttarkashi if that long drive does not suit you and from Uttarkashi, Harsil is about 70 odd KMs only. It is a cantonment area right on the banks of Bhagirathi river. The idol of the Hindu River Goddess Ganga (Ganges) is brought down from the shrine at Gangotri in the upper Himalayas after Diwali and kept at 'Mukhba' village near Harsil. It remains there throughout the winter when Gangotri is snowbound and inaccessible. You can read more about Harsil at the Wikipedia link here.
From December end, it starts snowing up there heavily around Harsil and beyond Harsil towards Dharali, Bhairon Ghaati and further towards Gangotri. So, you can find ample of snow in the region all round from December end to almost up to March and since, it is not the yatra time, perhaps one of the best time to visit this beautiful valley in Uttarakhand. Sometimes, you might not even reach Harsil as the region ahead of Sukhi Top sometime have too much of ice for the safe passage as vehicle tends to skid up there due to ice on roads. You can always inquire about road conditions before going in the winter months of January or February.

2. Chaukori – Munsiyari
Chaukori is located in Pitthoragarh district of Kumaon region in Uttarakhand. It is located about 490 KMs from Delhi and takes about 14-15 Hrs of drive. It is not recommended to drive in a day from Delhi rather you do the drive in couple of days with first night halt at Nainital or Ramgarh / Mukteshwar. So, a four day trip is recommended and in case you want to extend to Munsiyari then adding a day more should be much better choice. Otherwise, if you OK with stretching drives then Munsiyari can also be done in four days. You can find snow up there at Chaukori in the month of January – February and in Munsiyari, you can find snow from late December to March types at least in the near by short hikes from Munsiyari..

3. Kausani
Kausani at an altitude of 1890 Mtrs, is about 85 Odd KMs from Chaukori back towards Delhi and 52 KMs from Almora. The route goes via Bageshwar – Baijnath from Chaukori in case you planning Chaukori – Munsiyari too with lovely views of Panchulli, Mrigthuni and Trishul alongside the road. It is a place which gives a feeling that time has just stopped there and you cannot stop ogling at the High and Handsome peaks in front. Of course, the time of Golden Glow Hour of Sunset / Sunrise at Trishul Peak is just too majestic… If you are interested then you can visit Anashakti Ashram, Lakshmi Ashram, Tea Gardens, Baijnath Temple which are among some of the tourists attractions around Kausani.
Kausani, also gets snowfall in the month of January and February, though it is not that frequent but it does get snow. So, if there isn't much time on hands to make a trip to Munsiyari or Chaukori then you can make a 3 day trip to Kausani after inquiring about snow presence up there from KMVN 🙂 🙂

4. Khirsu
About 380 KMs from Delhi ahead of Pauri (19 KMs), Khirsu is situated at an altitude of about 1700 Mtrs does get snowfall in the winter months of January and February. Hence, if you are looking for a quick 2-3 day trip to check snow near Delhi then Khirsu can be a quiet, secluded, calm, little place to enjoy some quality time in the lap of nature. In order to stay at Khirsu, you should check out Tourist Rest House and Forest Rest House.

5. Juda Lake – Kedarkantha Peak
You can find plenty of snow in the winter months of late December to March on a short trek towards Juda Lake. Further up from Juda Lake to Kedarkantha peak, snow can be found even in April types. Juda Lake is at an altitude of about 2500 Mtrs and is about 440 KMs from Delhi. You can follow the route as Delhi – Dehradun – Naugaon – Purola – Mori – Sankri. From Sankri Village, Juda Lake trek starts and is about 6-7 KMs in length. You can find ample of snow in winters on the trek itself so there is no need to do the entire trek and if you are keen on seeing a frozen Juda Lake then it takes about 2.5 – 3 Hrs to reach the lake from Sankri Village. Purola is the major town of this region and Sankri is about 50 KMs from Purola. So, on Day 1 you can reach Purola, rest for the day and next day start from Sankri, do the trek, play in snow and come back to Sankri and drive back to Purola or stay up there in basic guest houses in Sankri Village. Or on Day 1 itself, you can reach Sankri for a night stay, enjoy snow on the trek next day and then third day come back to Delhi. Keep in mind that Juda lake in itself isn't that beautiful, so in case of absence of snow in summer months, it may prove disappointing in case you are not in love with trekking rather more love natural beauty.

Hatebreed – Driven By Suffering lyrics
Every second breathes life into reason for dying.
Our own ignorance will only stunt our final will to live.
Bound and gagged.
I feel forced back in a losing race.
I've been stepped on and passed by but I have enough hope to keep fighting.
All of my pain.
Driven by suffering (2x)
Every single choice I must make.
Driven by suffering. (2x)

Westview's girls still alive and playing for a shot at fifth at state
CORVALLIS - Westview's girls water polo team wanted a shot at the best.
The Metro League champion Wildcats got just that at the Oregon State High School Water Polo Playoffs on Friday, racing past Centennial 17-2 in their tournament opener, then dropping a 17-4 decision to perennial power Newberg. Both games were held at Osborn Aquatic Center.
Those two results moved Westview's season record to 14-3.
The Wildcats will next face David Douglas in the fifth-place semifinal game at Osborn Aquatic Center at 7:30 a.m. Friday. With a win there, Westview would face either Beaverton or Lincoln in the fifth-place match at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Osborn.
In the win over Centennial, Westview's Madi McGlone broke out with three first-quarter goals and teammate Annie Arcuri two to help the Wildcats grab a 5-0 lead they would never relinquish.
The Wildcats then erased any Centennial comeback hopes - and did so decisively - in a 7-1 second quarter. Six different players scored there for Westview, with Virginia LaGrow connecting twice as the Cats extended their lead to 12-1 at the half.
'We've been working really hard on drive defense lately so we were able to do a lot more driving and we were able to have a lot of good passes,' said McGlone, a junior who finished with four goals. 'That's our goal, to stay connected together and communicate a lot and make sure we're all on the same level.'
'I was really proud that a lot of the girls on our team stepped up,' added senior captain Emily England. 'I was really proud that everyone took a shot … and our defense has really improved a lot. We're excited to see where it takes us.'
In the short run, it took the Cats head-long into a match-up with Pacific Conference runner-up Newberg. And on Friday, the Tigers - also 2010 state runners-up, were just too much.
Newberg raced out to a 7-0 first-quarter lead behind Cassie Beecher's four scores, added three more goals from Emmie Schmidt in the second as the advantage grew to 12-0. and coasted home from there. McGlone scored twice in the fourth to lead her team, while Katie Wills and Arcuri also scored in the fourth.
We knew it was 'going to be a rough game,' McGlone said. We just wanted to 'come out ready and do what we can.'
Schmidt led Newberg with five goals.

What has technology done to the rep?
It's not a shrinking role for the rep─it's an evolving one.
Technology has dramatically changed our perception of the world. It has affected how we navigate our environment and consume information, and has changed our expectations about how quickly information should be made available. The new norm for all of us is about immediacy and relevance.
In healthcare professional (HCP) offices, it's about providing new ways to share information─when it's needed. HCPs seek information so they can achieve better treatment outcomes─but again, only when they need the information. They want services and products that enhance their ability to take care of their patients.
The rep who can play the role of business owner─coordinating activities that solve the problems an office faces, and assuming responsibility for deciding when and where to expend resources for the best return on investment─will excel.
To meet these new demands, reps will need to develop skills such as strategic planning, data analysis, and business acumen, which will enable them to deploy their resources in the most effective way.
Training will be important, but hiring people who have the natural talent for these new responsibilities will be even more important. The future rep will need a broader understanding of the company than in the past, as well as a clear understanding of strategic territory planning.
A Shift in Thinking
We need to change our understanding of sales reps as deliverers of "the message." Message delivering is a push strategy─and physicians are rebelling against being pushed. Instead, pharmaceutical sales representatives need to be conduits to the multitude of services, products, and programs that pharmaceutical companies have to offer physicians and their patients.
What if a new role were established for reps─one of being great listeners and communicators who establish, coordinate, and enhance the relationship with the company. Let's put them in charge of the business relationship and give them responsibility for driving results in a new and better way.
With this shift in thinking the sales rep is empowered to focus on building trust and earning respect by truly understanding the pressures that HCPs face.
Within the current structure, and with what HCPs are currently being asked to do, I don't think sales reps can change the relationship much. Some are better than others at building relationships with physicians and their staffs.
A busy primary care physician's office may prefer to have a rep filter information to physicians through the office manager and staff. The constraints of traditional measures for performance don't encourage a strategic approach; they reinforce a more cookie-cutter approach. Devising a unique plan for each office's characteristics and needs is a great first step in building trust.
Obviously, the talents, skills, and experience needed for this new role are significantly different from those in the current hiring profile for new sales reps. Ultimately, companies must create comprehensive strategic plans that "just say no" to the pushed message.
Part of that strategy is to elevate the role of sales reps, to give them more autonomy in making decisions about using resources to influence brand loyalty. Following that, companies will be charged with finding and hiring people who are a good fit with the new role.
Once the right candidate is found, training will need to evolve as well. This new rep will need to build skills in business management, analysis, decision making, and strategic thinking. But, that's a discussion for another post.>> Click here to return to Brand Incites blog page

Ross, in a wheelchair, rapping, over and over.
Lil Wayne followed up yesterday's unveiling of his amazing new album cover with the release of his new music video, for Tha Carter IV's Rick Ross–featuring second single, "If I Die Today." It is, unfortunately, a bit of a snooze — except for one thing. Courtesy of awesome motivations unknown, Ross spends much of his airtime rapping while sitting in a wheelchair. Here is a GIF of that.

Ghostface Is Finally Getting Sued for Those Awesome Iron Man Samples on Supreme Clientele
Bad news for Ghostface!
In 2000, Ghostface Killah released Supreme Clientele, a classic album that's chock-full of rad samples of dialogue from old Iron Man shows. (Like this, from "Ghost Deini": "Just by destroying Stark Enterprises, we can cripple their national defense. So you, Professor Vinkle, the world's greatest expert on electricity, must devise the destruction of Stark's mighty guardian, Iron Man.") Also present on Supreme is "Iron Man Theme," written by a guy named Jack Urbont in the sixties for The Marvel Super Heroes. And now, all these years later, that's a problem: Urbont is currently suing Sony Music Entertainment and Ghost for illegally sampling his material, and for appropriating the Iron Man character, writing "Defendant Ghostface is also known for the nickname, 'Tony Starks,' which is a take-off of the name 'Tony Stark,' Iron Man's real name and true identity. In this way, Defendants' use of Urbont's 'Iron Man Theme' gives them a substantial commercial advantage by linking Ghostface to Iron Man without paying for it." But really, the important thing here is holy crap, Jack Urbont, how had you never heard Supreme Clientele before?! [THR Esq./THR]

Basically, all I do is call each query in turn until I've collected all the results, then marshall the results in to a SOAP XML response (using gsoap, if anyone's curious) and give them back to the client application. It's the client app's job to figure out what to do with them, not mine. I never would have written it this way on my own, but the client app is already written, so as I migrate it to the client-server model, the programmers who wrote the client app are specifying what they expect me to provide them.
In C++/OO way, that would have been a array/list of base object pointers with virtual methods for
- Obtaining result set
- Making a soap/XML out of it
- Deliver it
- And pre/post processing
And delegate the unique query/data handling to specific subclasses.
Now that you are doing that in C, you can as well use function pointers to mimic inheritance and virtual functions. The only difference being
a. No typechecking. A function pointer in C, won't crib if you pass it wrong number/wrong types of argument. C++ compiler will catch that.
b. Maintainance is nightmare unless you thoroughly document it. In C++, glancing over source code might suffice. And no, in-source comment rarely suffice when you use C for such applications.
I maintain such an application for day-job and I know what help/menace it can be at times..:-(
But either way, asking for/using/maintaining non-homogeneous recordset is a classic three finger salute. Load the gun, point to head and shoot.
Just a thought..
