Downtown Holland freezes for live Ice Sculpting Competition
Downtown Holland's fifth annual Ice Sculpting Competition is being held this weekend.
Thirty students from five Midwest culinary arts programs will compete during the weekend, using chisels, knives, torches and chainsaws to design their unique creations.
Students compete in two events: the compulsory competition, which will be held on Friday evening from 6-8 p.m., and the freestyle competition, which will be held from 12:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday.
The event takes place on Eighth Street between River and College streets.
Downtown Holland event coordinator Lexi Johnson said the event is unique and attendees have a great time. She also noted that the ice blocks weigh between 100 and 300 pounds, so the final sculptures are quite large.
In addition to watching the sculptors, attendees are also invited to enjoy the interactive ice works that have been created for their enjoyment. In the past, these sculptures have included a tic-tac-toe board, a giant ice chair for funny photos, the opportunity to slip your face into an Eskimo family made of ice or to take home your name sculpted in a small block of ice.
Restaurants and stores always are hopping during the downtown event, Johnson said, and most retail stores will have extended hours to accommodate shoppers. The event typically draws about 2,000 attendees.
Participating schools are the Art Institute of Michigan, Grand Rapids Community College, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College and the University of Akron. The event is held in partnership between the National Ice Carving Association and Downtown Holland.
Visit Downtown Holland's website for the event for more information.

Adequate sleep and nourishment are essential for normal newborn
growth. Although newborn sleeping and eating patterns vary, your baby will
probably sleep for a total of 18 hours each day, waking for short periods at
least every 2 to 3 hours. When your newborn wakes up, he or she will usually be
hungry and need to be fed. This pattern dominates your baby's first few weeks.
At about 3 weeks, your newborn's nervous system is mature enough that
he or she can wait longer between feedings and interact with you more. This is
a good time to try delaying feeding for a short time by cuddling or talking.
But, take cues from your baby. Don't force your baby to engage with you when he
or she is not responding and appears to be very hungry.
You will probably help limit nighttime feedings by avoiding
socializing with your baby and lingering after he or she has finished eating.
Keep the light off, use a soft voice, and respond to your baby quickly, so he
or she doesn't have a chance to fully wake up. If you find that you enjoy this
time together and want to give your baby attention, plan for a time you can
rest the following day to avoid fatigue.
Newborn sleep cycles include short periods of active sleep,
characterized by murmuring and restlessness, that occur about every 50 to 60
minutes. This restlessness usually lasts a few minutes, and if you leave your
baby alone, he or she is likely to fall back asleep. At first, babies often
sleep through loud noises, but later they become easily disturbed by noises
such as the phone ringing or a dog barking.
As your baby grows, other factors will increasingly influence his or
her schedule, such as
temperament, a sense of feeling full, and how you
respond to hunger cues.

Gov't soldiers battle Al shabab in Gedo,southwest Somalia
[Shabelle] Heavy battle between Somali government troops backed by Kenyan army serving under AMISOM force and Al shabab
Death Eaters
broke out Thursday in the southwestern province of Gedo.
Locals say the fighting ignited when Somali forces moved closer to Burdhubo, a rebel-held city near Garbaharey town, the
scenic provincial capital
of Gedo. Reports said Kenyan warplanes were seen taking part the combat against Al shabab.
Lieutenant Col.Aden Hirse Rufle, has told Shabelle Media station by phone that several training camps and arms caches belonging to the
Death Eaters
were destroyed in the aerial attacks by Kenyan defence forces (KDF) during the skirmish.
"The offensive was a preplanned and took place at an Al shabab stronghold area called Burdhubo. So far, the exact number of the casualties is yet unclear as the fighting raging on," he added.
Al shabab officials have not yet released any word or comments on the Thursday's warfare in Gedo region, southwest Somalia.

I suspect the following integration to be wrong. My answer is coming out to be $3/5$, but the solution says $1$.
Please help out. Thanks.

I suspect the following integration to be wrong. My answer is coming out to be $3/5$, but the solution says $1$.
Please help out. Thanks.
The integration is obtained as follows:
$$\int 2\frac{x+2}{5}dx=\frac{2}{5}\int (x+2)d(x+2)=\frac{2}{5}\int udu=\frac{2}{5}\frac{u^2}{2}=\frac 1 5 (x+2)^2$$
Since $\frac 1 5 (x+2)^2$ is a primitive of $2\frac{x+2}{5}$ we can use FTCII, and get
$$\int 2\frac{x+2}{5}dx=\frac{(\color{red}{1}+2)^2}{5}-\frac{(\color{red}{0}+2)^2}{5}= \frac 9 5- \frac 4 5 = 1$$ It seems what you did was this:
$$\int 2\frac{x+2}{5}dx=\frac{(0+2)^2}{5}-\frac{(0+1)^2}{5}= \frac 4 5- \frac 1 5 = \frac 3 5$$
2 outside with the second term.

$$\left. \dfrac{(x+2)^2}5 \right \vert_0^1 = \dfrac{(1+2)^2}5 - \dfrac{(0+2)^2}5 = \dfrac{3^2}5 - \dfrac{2^2}5 = \dfrac{9}5 - \dfrac45 = \dfrac{9-4}5 = \dfrac55 = 1$$
Note that we can integrate $\displaystyle \int_{x_1}^{x_2} (x+a) dx$ in seemingly two different ways.
The first method is to treat $x+a$ together as one object i.e. $$\displaystyle \int (x+a) dx = \dfrac{(x+a)^2}2 + c_1$$
The second method is to treat $x+a$ as two separate objects i.e. $$\displaystyle \int (x+a) dx = \int x dx + \int a dx = \dfrac{x^2}2 + ax + c_2$$
It might seem that both are different. However, note that the first answer can be re-written as $$\dfrac{(x+a)^2}2 + c_1 = \dfrac{x^2}2 + ax + \dfrac{a^2}2 + c_1.$$ Now this looks more closely like the second. The only difference in fact is that the constants are different. They are in fact related as $c_2 = c_1 + \dfrac{a^2}2$. While performing a definite integral, the constants cancel off and hence both ways should give us the same answer.
As an exercise, we will integrate what you have by treating $x$ and $2$ separately.
\begin{align} \int_0^1 \dfrac{2(x+2)}5 dx & = \dfrac25 \int_0^1 (x+2)dx = \dfrac25 \int_0^1 xdx + \dfrac25 \int_0^1 2dx = \dfrac25 \cdot \left. \dfrac{x^2}2 \right \vert_{0}^1 + \dfrac25 \cdot 2 \cdot \left(1 - 0 \right)\\ & = \dfrac25 \cdot \left(\dfrac{1^2}2 - \dfrac{0^2}2 \right) + \dfrac45 = \dfrac25 \cdot \dfrac12 + \dfrac45 = \dfrac15 + \dfrac45 = 1 \end{align}
$$ \left.\frac{(x+2)^2}{5}\right|_0^1 = \frac{(1+2)^2}{5} - \frac{(0+2)^2}{5} = \frac{9}{5} - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 $$
x separately and
2 separately?

Here's another potential approach that you will likely find useful in the future (though it isn't really necessary, here), called "$u$-substitution".
Let's put $u=x+2$. Now, $x=0$ if and only if $u=2$, and $x=1$ if and only if $u=3$. Also, $$\frac{du}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[x+2]=1,$$ and if we treat $\frac{du}{dx}$ just like any other fraction and "solve" for $dx$, we get $du=dx$. Now we'll go through and substitute everything $x$-related with the corresponding $u$-related thing, so that $$\int_0^1\frac{2(x+2)}{5}\,dx=\int_2^3\frac{2u}{5}\,du=\left.\frac{u^2}{5}\right|_2^3=1.$$
Now, $u$-substitutions typically require a bit more finagling than this one did, but as a preview (and an alternate approach), I think it serves its purpose.

Scarlett Johansson plays an alien in her new movie Under the Skin — a sex alien, to be precise. A new trailer shows her seducing men via her amazing ScarJo good looks, then drowning them in a giant vat of black goo. A woman (?) after my own heart.
Attention, single men: If it walks like Scarlett Johansson and it talks like Scarlett Johansson and it still wants to sleep with you, it's probably a sex alien coming to vaporize you.

Edit: can you see the pics now?
Well, since no one has posted in the Dodge forums since 2013, I thought I should spice things up. My roommate bought a house with a 4 car garage and we decided we needed a truck for all the projects and Lowe's trips. We also need it for harvesting firewood and transporting dirtbikes. Ya gotta have a truck! I couldn't find any solid Tacomas for a reasonable price so this is the new woods truck. Some highshooler in Point Pleasant WV built it, complete with a 318 from a 1979 D100, 5spd dakota transmission, I think. It guzzles gas and runs how you'd expect a 1979 truck to run. The body and frame are surprisingly rust-free (aside from the front driver fender, in pics) The 4Lo seriously CRAWLS, based on a test drive through his yard. I think it's got at least 4.10s, considering it'll chirp the tires in 4 gears... Not sure if that's a good thing, haha. IT's lifted with Spring Over Axle in the rear and torsion bars cranked up in the front. Am I going to break parts as soon as I hit the trail? I think maybe...
My short term plan is to trim the front fenders and stuff some 33's on there. These are 31's in the pic, and they rub if you hit a bump through a turn. It needs some other small things as well. The throttle is a bish to push down, which makes for rough shifts and could be the biggest problem with driveability. Any insight is appreciated! I'm thinking some sort of carb adjustment and a hand throttle are in order. Anybody in Ohio 4x4 use hand throttles? The PO suggested it may run better if I swapped in 600 carb instead of the 750 Edlebrock that's on it. Is that a quick swap or does it require re-tuning carbs?
I'm already deep into project mode, because a starter wire came loose, contacted the other terminal and fried the starter. By the time I could pull over, the issue had fried a battery cable terminal in half. I THINK that issue is resolved.
If anyone has the know-how or proper tools to properly trim and fold the fenders, feel free to offer your advice. Even the correct terminology is a start for me. It doesn't need to be too pretty; I'm thinking this truck is a candidate for bedlining down the road. I'd rather not just go at it with a sawzall, though. Hopefully I can get this thing trail-ready and get to some Ohio 4x4 rides soon! Would it be/look stupid if I put a small body lift on the cab only to give the front tires more clearance?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Moving Company Refused Accommodation for Rastafarian's Dreadlocks, Federal Agency Charged
HARRISONBURG , Va. – Moving and storage company Lawrence Transportation Systems, Inc., violated federal law when it refused to hire a job applicant because of his religion, Rastafarian, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a workplace discrimination lawsuit filed today. Lawrence Transportation, headquartered in Roanoke, Va., has approximately 276 employees.
According to the EEOC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia, Harrisonburg Division (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Lawrence Transportation Systems, Inc., Civil Action No. 5:10cv97 ) Christopher Woodson applied for a job as a loader at Lawrence Transportation's Waynesboro, Va., facility in May 2008. Woodson, who is Rastafarian, wears his hair in dreadlocks in accordance with his religious belief that he should refrain from cutting his hair. According to the EEOC, Lawrence Transportation refused to hire Woodson as a mover because he would not cut his hair, even though Woodson had fourteen years of experience in the moving industry, including several years with Lawrence prior to his conversion to the Rastafarian religion. To address the company's concerns regarding the appearance of Woodson's hair in relation to Lawrence Transportation's grooming policy, Woodson offered to tie his hair up, wear a head wrap or wear a cap over his head. The hiring official rejected Woodson's offers and told Woodson that the company would not hire him if he did not cut his hair. Because Woodson refused to violate his religious beliefs by cutting his hair, Lawrence Transportation refused to hire him.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to attempt to make reasonable accommodations to sincerely held religious beliefs of employees as long as this poses no undue hardship. In its complaint, the EEOC seeks back pay, along with past and future pecuniary losses, past and future non-pecuniary expenses, compensatory damages, punitive damages and injunctive relief. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
"Employers need to ensure that their supervisors and managers who are called upon to make decisions on employees' requests for religious accommodations are fully knowledgeable of the employer's obligations under federal law," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office, which oversees litigation in the state of Virginia. "Many decision makers seem to forget that unless providing a reasonable accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the company, the accommodation must be provided. No person should ever be forced to choose between his religion and his job."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

There's more to Malta than meets this eye
This island archipelago between Sicily and North Africa has history, civility and stunning seafront scenery – as well as real seafaring tradition - at every turn. Inland, it's ancient, rugged and rather spartan, yet look a little closer and you'll find surprises (like catacombs) hidden not far from the surface, besides the modern-day attractions of its beaches.
Maltese handicrafts have long been the souvenirs of choice for visiting tourists, with basketware, lace and knitwear all readily available. On top of this you can expect the usual array of quality clothing stores and big-name brands, with Merchants Street and Republic Street the most obvious ports of call in Valletta, and Bay Street Mall in St Julian's attracting shoppers with stores such as Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Adidas and Skechers. Malta's open-air markets – found in almost every town and village at some point in the week – offer a far more traditional experience, and a good chance to pick up local delicacies.
Food & Drink
Various civilisations have occupied Malta over the centuries, and this cultural diversity has seeped into the local cuisine. It means that alongside classic Mediterranean dishes, visitors can also enjoy the likes of rabbit stew, fish pie and various artisan breads. These days, of course, the march of time means that you'll find the full range of world cuisines on offer, from fast food to high-end gastronomy. Some of the very best restaurants include The Medina Restaurant in Mdina (7 Holy Cross Street) and Grill 3301 (Corinthia Hotel) in St Julian's. Elsewhere, Marsaxlokk Fish Market, open each Sunday, has an eye-popping array of fresh seafood.
Malta Fireworks Festival
A free-to-attend fireworks spectacular that takes place over several days at the end of April, the festival was originally created to celebrate Malta's accession to the EU. The grand finale evening takes place over Valletta's Grand Harbour.
Malta International Jazz Festival
The balmy Maltese summer provides a relaxed setting for this showpiece musical event, a three-day open-air festival that attracts international artistes to share a bill with their Maltese counterparts. There is a nominal charge for events.
Malta Arts Festival
Combining music, theatre, dance and visual arts, this annual extravaganza runs for three weeks and showcases a mix of domestic and overseas performers. It makes use of some of Malta's most atmospheric venues, including the remarkable Mediterranean Conference Centre, formerly a knights' hospital.
Notte Bianca
A long night of festivities, entertainment and live music, Notte Bianca takes place in Valletta and aims to celebrate the country's art and culture. The event is principally held outside, but also spills into caf�s, bars, restaurants, museums and galleries.
Malta's sister island, Gozo, is the setting for this mid-autumn festival, which includes a large number of concerts but also features art exhibitions, historical talks, food and drink events and guided walks. It gives an excellent chance to learn more about Gozo's incredible archaeological sites.
Malta's sweet climate and remarkable heritage have made it a popular holiday hotbed for decades, and its hotel stock reflects this through-the-ages appeal. The five-star Hotel Phoenicia Malta (The Mall) reflects the grandeur of the 1920s and offers a great location just outside of Valletta's city walls, while over in St Julian's the modern, 340-room Westin Dragonara Resort (Dragonara Road) typifies Malta's more contemporary soul. Also in St Julian's, but far less sizable, is the classy Hotel Juliani (25 St George's Road), while smaller still is the fashionable Pebbles Boutique Aparthotel (88-89 The Strand), fully renovated in 2012.

Also known as a magnetic fusion drive, or a mega-ion drive.
A staple of high end sci-fi is the replicator or the nano-assembler. There is a much more practical and less technomagical way to achieve the same goal. The exciting thing is that this technology exists now, and we're getting much better at it.
By late afternoon, the sky starts to cloud over. The sun shines behind the fluffy clouds, gilding the edges and showing a Jacob's-ladder of rays streaming through the gaps...very pretty. Gradually the clouds shift into a new configuration: you realize with awe-struck, preternatural clarity that the clouds form a map of a coast-line that you know against the blue sky as ocean: surely it's a Sign! Suddenly, the golden beams coalesce into one long ray that strikes across the blue. A star-like gleam flashes under the ray: perhaps it is an island? But the charts show no island there...who would want to hide an island? Who could do it?

The Most Stylish Female Celebrities
List Rules Vote up the consistently best dressed famous women and style icons.
The most stylish female celebrities manage to capture our attention with their stunning fashion choices. Whether it's a classic Hollywood red carpet style or a more bold, unique outfit worn for a night on the town, the women on this list are without a doubt one of a kind fashionistas. They aren't afraid to take risks with their clothes, their hairstyles or with anything else for that matter. Sure, sometimes the risks don't pay off, but when they do? It's Hollywood gold -- and it's trend setting.
Every year, People Magazine picks their best dressed female celeb. In 2013, it was Kerry Washington. In 2014, it was Taylor Swift. But those stylish winners were chosen by a handful of fashion editors. We want to know what you think! Be sure to vote up the names of your favorites, and vote down those celebrities you think fall far short of the style mark. Also, if you have a favorite celebrity style icon, be sure to add them to the list!
Celebrities often have access to a slew of fashion designers and stylists to help them select the perfect outfits, but still some celebs just can't pull it all together. Not so for the stylish female celebs on this list. Each one demonstrates the confidence to rock almost anything - even things that other actresses, musicians and/or models would never, ever wear. Examples? Let's talk about the cool, trendy style of up-and-coming supermodels like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Cara Delevingne. Or the wacky street style of Gwen Stefani. Or how about the always extraordinary looks donned by fashionable Beyonce, Charlize Theron, or Lupita Nyong'o? And then there's Kate Middleton, aka the Duchess of Cambridge. She exudes style wherever she goes, even during two pregnancies!
Anyone who knows fashion will tell you that flawless style takes more than awesome clothes - it's also about attitude, whether it's owning the Oscars red carpet or just running to Starbucks on a lazy Sunday. Photogs are everywhere, so most of the top A-list celebrities rarely throw on sweatpants and a dirty t-shirt to get their caffeine fix. They do, however, occasionally miss the mark. But all is usually forgiven, because these popular women are consistent in their stylish choices.For more fashion-forward info on all the hottest female celebrities, check out these lists for celebs who wowed us with their style and the best dressed women in hip-hop.

About matics
Damn, I would hate to be a visible minority living in Tennessee right now... Even more than I would hate living in Tennessee on any given day in general.
I feel like this actress is over-reacting a bit.
At the same time, however, she has a valid point if her information is being accessed without her consent. That could be a major breach of privacy if these companies are not only storing people's information without consent, but also posting it publicly without their knowledge.
While I don't expect her case to go anywhere, hopefully Amazon will comment on what happened specifically.
I love seeing rulings like these. The court actually recorded a reasonable and thorough explanation of their decision, which could be applied in defense of similar lawsuits from this point on.
I think they should use the "nickname" test. When I play Counter-Strike, I refer to it as simply CS. When I refer to Call of Duty, I call it COD. When I play League of Legends, I call it LoL or "League" instead.
I have never heard anyone refer to Elder Scrolls as simply "Scrolls" - it's usually by its specific name, as other commenters mentioned, that might be "Skyrim" There isn't likely to be much confusion between the two games since nobody refers to Bethesda's titles by "Scrolls" ever.
If I ever find an 0day like that, the hell I'll tell anyone about it. Look at the thanks they give.
Exploit that sh*t for personal gain.
But what about those of us who were planning on buying a remastered DVD of a 50-year old version of Psycho within the next couple months?
I'm sure the studio is worried about losing all 2 of us potential customers!
If anything, pirated media like this should only serve to rekindle interest in an otherwise dormant classic film that many people might not have otherwise seen. Who knows, maybe some of those fans will even go and buy the physical copy because they find out they like the movie so much!
Haha thanks for the mention.
Imagine the police had that sort of service?
"Hello, 911? I'd like to report that I saw someone trying to break into a local bank through a wall."
"OK sir, and are you a member of that bank?"
"Well... No, but-"
"I'm sorry, if you aren't a member, you need to call 912, our other support line. Thanks and good luck!"

Move over, Rubio: Cruz's star rises
Move over, Marco Rubio: there's another national Latino star-in-the-making likely headed to Washington.
Ted Cruz's resounding win over Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the Texas Republican Senate runoff Tuesday night positions the 41-year-old, Ivy League-educated Cuban-American to become a force to be reckoned with in the nation's capitol — an overnight A-lister of Republicans to watch.
Story Continued Below
His allies are already invoking comparisons to Florida's junior senator and even Ronald Reagan. And his stature is only enhanced by the fact that he represents a growing demographic critical to the future of the GOP.
"He's a dynamic guy, he's young, Latino, a strong conservative," said Jeb Bush Jr., who organized a pair of Miami fundraisers for Cruz this spring. "It helps politically in Texas to have a Hispanic senator, as the demographics shift around the country."
Cruz's double-digit victory in a megastate ushers in what tea party members hope will be a new phase — in which no amount of money, name ID or GOP establishment support is immune to the burgeoning grass-roots movement. How closely the first-time office holder associates with tea party forces once he arrives in Washington will be closely watched: Too close a relationship could risk marginalizing him in the Senate.
In the afterglow of his win, though, the future looks bright. Like President Barack Obama, Cruz is a telegenic constitutional lawyer with a Harvard Law degree and parents of different backgrounds. Like Rubio, he has a rich family history that's rooted in Cuba.
"Just like Marco Rubio, Ted entered the U.S. Senate race relatively unknown and underfunded. He beat all odds to become the GOP nominee," said American Conservative Union president and former Florida GOP chairman Al Cardenas in a statement.
But those comparisons, as tempting as they may be, don't do justice to Cruz's unique personal story.
He is the Canadian-born son of an American mother and Cuban father who fled to Texas at age 18 with $100 sewn in his underwear. His father had fought alongside Fidel Castro against right-wing dictator Fulgencio Batista but eventually renounced Castro. And his parents are American success stories: Working their way through college on the pay of his father's dishwashing job before eventually starting a small business in seismic-data processing for oil companies.
Cruz's own story is filled with firsts.
He was a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review; the first Hispanic to clerk for a chief justice of the United States, in Cruz's case, William Rehnquist; the first Hispanic solicitor general in the country; and the youngest and longest-serving to hold that position.
But the Princeton-educated Cruz — who has argued nine cases before the U.S. Supreme Court — showed signs of major promise decades earlier, going back to his high school days in Katy, Texas.
As a teenager, Cruz made a name for himself after he memorized the Constitution and hit the road to deliver speeches on its intrinsic meaning. The practice paved the way for his first-place finishes at the 1992 National and North American Debate Championships.
Winston Elliott, who organized the high school speech competitions in Texas, said he remembers Cruz blowing away the competition with his thoroughness and passion.
Elliott said Cruz's father's story of immigrating from Cuba without speaking English inspired him not only to immerse himself in the country's constitutional principles but to dig deep into the Founding Fathers' true intentions.

Tom "Big Daddy" Donahue has been called the father of progressive radio.
As a deejay and executive at San Francisco radio stations KMPX and KSAN in the late Sixties and early Seventies, Donahue pioneered "free-form" radio on the largely ignored FM band and revolutionized radio broadcasting in America. A Rolling Stone article that he wrote in 1967 bore the headline, "AM Radio Is Dead and Its Rotting Corpse Is Stinking Up the Airwaves." As Rolling Stone noted in 1969, "Donahue was the moving force behind the transition of KMPX-FM [in 1967] from a foreign-language outlet into the country's first full-time album-cut, hip-sounding station."
Tom Donahue was born Thomas Coman on May 21, 1928 in South Bend, Indiana. He was raised in Washington D.C. His first wife, Grace, recalled that he was trying to decide on a career when he was 19. "He wanted to think of a profession where he could make the greatest amount of money with the least amount of work," she said. He decided to become a deejay, and he began his career in 1949 at WTIP in Charleston, West Virginia. His show was called "Uncle Tom's Gabbin'." He then worked at WIBG in Philadelphia and WINX in Rockville, Maryland before moving to San Francisco in 1961. There, he began deejaying at Top Forty station KYA. Donahue took KYA to the top of the ratings, beginning each show with his trademark line, "Here to blow your mind and clean up your face." He and Bobby Mitchell left the station in 1965. They set up a management and booking firm. They also started a record label, called Autumn Records. They scored some hits with the Beau Brummels, Bobby Freeman and the Great Society. They also presented the Rolling Stones at the Cow Palace and the Beatles at Candlestick Park.
In 1967 Donahue saw the need for stations that would play non-commercial music by album-oriented bands like the Doors, Blue Cheer and the rising lights on the San Francisco scene. He convinced the owners of KMPX to play album-oriented rock without playlists twenty-four hours a day—the underground-rock-radio revolution had begun. A large man, he had a deep voice "that rolled from his throat like thick oil pouring from the can," according to journalist Joel Selvin. His commanding, no-nonsense delivery and anti-establishment mindset endeared him to the San Francisco counterculture. In 1968 he moved from KMPX to KSAN, where he encouraged deejays to program their own shows with music from different eras and genres and to build sets around themes, interspersed with political commentary.
Donahue and his wife Raechel—herself a popular and influential disk jockey—founded four of the first free-form stations on the West Coast: KMPX and KSAN in San Francisco and KMET and KPPC in Los Angeles. The progressive format that the Donahues pioneered spread around the country. In the words of fellow deejay Jim Ladd, "He was the first to strike the tribal drum."
In 1972 Donahue became general manager of KSAN, where he remained until his death from a heart attack on April 28, 1975. He was a month shy of 47 years old.

Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Vol. III review and pictures
So here it is, Urban Decay's newest Book Of Shadows, volume 3 (in fact it's number 4 since they also published the Alice in Wonderland one, but hey who's counting?). It's called UD hearts NYC and it's all about New York City. To be honest with you, I don't like the design at all, I find it pretty ugly, especially the faces, but then you don't even have to look at it since the eyeshadows are - as usual - in the drawer below. I bought the first Book Of Shadows because of the pretty pop-up design it had, didn't even know much about Urban Decay back then, only discovered how good the eyeshadows were afterwards, but this time I bought it for the eyeshadows. Read more of my review and see pictures (including swatches) after the jump! So on the inside, you have this pop-up scene of New York with skyscrapers, yellow taxis and people, a small mirror that you will most probably not use as the palette is way too heavy to carry with you and who doesn't have a proper mirror at home? The cool thing about it is that it lights up when you open the lid, so the two big skyscrapers on the side of the mirror are backlit, and also a couple of other buildings in the front too. The light switches on after a short while, or is it just mine? In the drawer below you find what's so great about this palette: 16 eyeshadows, 2 travel size eyepencils and a travel sized Primer Potion. The eyeshadows included are:
Top row: Perversion, Uzi, Loaded, Kush Bottom row: Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Last Call, Rockstar, Money

Thanks so much for posting this!! Awesome swatches :)ReplyDelete
OOH THANKS FOR THE SWATCHESReplyDelete
thank you for the swatches! that really helps! i also have the first book of shadows and so far it's my favorite of all that have been released! i just love the color combination in it, it's the most neutral so far!ReplyDelete

Very nice swatches, and nice colors too! I'm not planning on getting this, I don't think, but I do like Kush, Money, Suspect, and Bordello.ReplyDelete
No blues and greens for me so I'll definitely pass on this palette. :( I like only the Last Call and some of those pale eyeshadows.ReplyDelete
A nice palette, but I still haven't used my AIW palette....so gonna skip this. The NY scene pop-up doesn't quite appeal to me as much as the AIW (so cute!).ReplyDelete
Thanks for the swatches! :)

Warnings From the Ukraine Crisis
A new century's dangers begin to come into focus.
What has been happening in Ukraine is not a wake-up call precisely but a tugging at the attention, a demand to focus.
There's a sense that in some new way we are watching the 21st century take its shape and express its central realities. Exactly 100 years ago, in August 1914, the facts that would shape the 20th century gathered and emerged in the Great War. History doesn't repeat itself; you can't, as they say, step into the same stream twice. But it does have an unseen circularity....

Roger Goodell: NFL won't act rashly in Ray McDonald domestic violence case
RENTON, Wash. — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell won't be moving rashly to enforce the league's newly enhanced personal conduct policy and discipline San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Ray McDonald, who was arrested early Sunday on felony domestic violence charges.
Speaking at a youth flag football event Wednesday, Goodell said he'll wait for the legal process to play out for McDonald as he would with any other potential first offender among NFL personnel.
"I think the first thing we have to do is let the process play out, get the facts, and make sure you understand all the circumstances," Goodell said. "We don't (know the facts) right now and we're obviously following it very closely. But the policy will be applied uniformly across players, coaches, executives, commissioners. I think we made that very clear in the policy."
McDonald was taken into custody after an alleged incident at his 30th birthday party that police say left the victim with "visible injuries." He later was released from Santa Clara County Jail after posting $25,000 bail.
The arrest came just days after Goodell sent a letter to owners announcing increased penalties for personal conduct violations involving domestic violence or sexual assault, including a six-game suspension for a first offense and an indefinite suspension of at least one year for a second.
For the league to enforce the discipline, Goodell said, a person would have to be "not only charged, but we would wait for the legal system to complete its process, particularly in any case on a first (offender). That's something that's very important to us."
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh expressed the same sentiment earlier Wednesday, saying he does not tolerate domestic violence, but the team believes in due process.
The enhanced policy came in face of intense public criticism for Goodell's handling of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was suspended just two games after entering into a pretrial intervention program following an arrest for punching his then-fiancée at a New Jersey casino and being caught on camera dragging her unconscious body out of an elevator.
Asked why he felt compelled to admit he erred on Rice, Goodell said, "Well, because I think you've got to be accountable for what you do. The policy wasn't where we want it to (be) and that's my responsibility and I think it's important for the ownership to understand that and (see) how serious we're taking the issue, the importance of the work that needs to be done.
"It's not just about discipline. We're going to step up every aspect of our program — in education, training — and we've been working an awful lot over years with experts in this field and we think we can really make a difference here. I wanted them to hear that directly from me."
Goodell touched on several other topics in a brief session with reporters after announcing an extension of the NFL's "Play 60" initiative that will provide flag football kits to more than 500,000 children in elementary schools and after-school programs across the country this year.
- Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay will be permitted to collect profits from the six games during his suspension for violating the personal conduct policy because he already was fined the maximum $500,000 following his guilty plea Tuesday on a misdemeanor DUI charge. "This penalty is 10 times financially more than a player would get, and there's no discipline from a suspension standpoint for a first-time offender DUI in the players," Goodell said. "Now, we would like to change that. But this is obviously six games. And (Irsay will) be subject to the same issues with testing and program-related that we would expect others to do. So, it's very important for us to hold everyone up to that standard and Jim understands that and understands his responsibility."
- The NFL went through "through a great deal of discussions with outside experts" before deciding to conditionally reinstate Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent, who won't be eligible to play in games until Week 11. "We felt where he was, this was an appropriate way to bring him back into the league," Goodell said of Brent, who spent six months in jail after his conviction for drunk-driving manslaughter in the 2012 crash that left teammate Jerry Brown dead. "But he still has to meet a very high standard. He understands that. He can't afford have any mistakes from here."
- Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, is "clearly getting" a fair opportunity after signing to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, Goodell said. Asked if the league worked with teams to make sure Sam got a job following his release by the St. Louis Rams, Goodell said, "We didn't need to. Teams are looking to get the best players they possibly can. They're interested in him as a football player. And I think you've seen the way the NFL has reacted to that and teams have reacted to that. That's what they're interested in. Our players are the same way. They want people who can play the game."
- A deal with the union on a comprehensive drug policy is overdue and the NFL is anxious to get it done, Goodell said. But he declined to say if the sides are closer to a deal that would include testing for human growth hormone as agreed to in the collective bargaining agreement more than three years ago. "My view on that is unfortunately, over the three years, a lot of things have changed," Goodell said. "One minute it's this issue and another minute it's another issue. We've tried to address all those issues. We think we have. I'll be happy when we can announce that we have the program done and completed."

Mayor's Office
"Lincoln's success in the future is dependent on the progress we make today. From my vantage point as an observer of the Antelope Valley Project for the first eight years and now as Mayor for the last three, Antelope Valley represents progress: protection from flooding, better roads, a signature park and economic growth. It even solved the train issue for those who go to see the Lincoln Stars or Husker basketball.
"In this effort to make progress, most of Antelope Valley was done well, but some of it could have been done better. Leadership demands that we don't abandon progress simply because we can't achieve perfection. Leadership also demands we learn from our Antelope Valley experiences and apply those lessons in building Lincoln's future."

Teleste Introduces New Entropic-Powered Ethernet Over Coax Wi-Fi Extender for Hospitality and Multi-Dwelling Units
02 Sep, 2014, 09:00 BST
LONDON and SAN DIEGO, September 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Teleste Corporation, a leading provider of video and broadband technologies and services has taken broadband access to Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) and hotel rooms to the next level by introducing a new range of Ethernet over Coax (EoC) products, powered by Entropic's c.LINK™ 1.1+ Broadband Access technology. The new Teleste EoC solutions enable broadband data to be distributed over an existing coax network, without installing any new cables.
The new EoC products will be on display at the International Broadcast Conference (IBC2014) in Amsterdam at the RAI Convention Centre, 12 -16 September, at the Teleste stand (4.B61, Hall 4) and in the Entropic Meeting Suite (G106/G107, Hall 13).
The Teleste products are based on Entropic's c.LINK 1.1+ Broadband Access technology, which brings a massive increase in total bandwidth throughput to 800Mbps and the total number of connected Wi-Fi extenders to 252 devices. By using c.LINK 1.1+, hospitality facilities, leisure environments and MDUs gain an ideal system to access higher speed broadband entertainment services including HD Video on Demand (VoD).
"The key application for this technology is the delivery of reliable high speed data and HD video to a large number of client devices, with particular emphasis on being able to extend Wi-Fi anywhere in the building. In the case of hotel facilities, c.LINK enables hotel operators to install a Wi-Fi extender in every room, using the same coaxial cable network that delivers the regular linear TV signal," said Jason Dando, Ethernet over Coax product manager, Teleste. "With the exponential increase in Wi-Fi enabled consumer devices, hotel guests demand to have the best quality Wi-Fi coverage and bandwidth. The new EoC Wi-Fi extender product, powered by Entropic, enables hotel guests to enjoy their devices with a similar or better experience when compared to their home set-up."
To install the client device, simply connect it between the coaxial wall outlet and the existing TV. Each client device provides a Wi-Fi hotspot and Ethernet ports for tablet and/or laptop hook-up. The entire installation process can be done in just a few minutes. This ease of installation is critical to the hospitality industry, as it minimizes revenue loss due to service upgrades. This no new wires approach further reduces deployment time and overall capital expense.
"We believe our c.LINK 1.1+ Broadband Access system is an ideal solution for the hospitality and MDU markets," said Roger Gregory, vice president, Marketing, Entropic. "In the hospitality case, the central network controller is able to manage the connection speeds of each individual client per service agreement. For example, standard rooms may have basic service with 'good enough speed' for email and web browsing, whereas premium rooms can have 'upgraded speed' for HD video streaming without glitches."
Entropic's innovative c.LINK 1.1+ EoC Broadband Access solution is ideal for high density MDU and hospitality environments. It is comprised of the EN3681 Network Controller (NC) and the EN3690 Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and offers the industry's first multiple-channel EoC solution that can deliver up to 800 Mbps of aggregated throughput. These key features satisfy consumer demand for HD video content across a variety of connected devices.
The Ethernet over Coax Broadband Access Wi-Fi adapter is currently available from Asheridge Communications that is a member of the Teleste Group.

A Restless Transplant
By Charlie Beck
30 Jan 2011
I've had the privilege of knowing Foster Huntington for a little over 2 years. He was actually one of the people that influenced me to become a photographer, as well as realizing that you need to look at things from a different perspective in order to truly understand them. The other day, I sent him an email asking if he'd answer some questions for me, here they are:
CB: Tell me a little bit about yourself: your job, history, any basic information.
FH: I grew up in and around Portland, Oregon, went to college in Maine and now live in New York and work in design.
CB: How long have you been taking photographs?
FH:I started taking photos in the fall of 2008, so two and a half years.
CB: What's your equipment that you are using now?
FH: I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II, my iPhone 4 and occasionally a Polaroid Image Pro. I shoot with a Zeiss 35mm f2.0 on my 5d. I try not to use a flash and shoot in raw.
CB: How did your blog, A Restless Transplant, come into existence?
FH: I started my blog as a vehicle to share my pictures. I was reading a bunch of men's wear blogs and looking at image blogs like jjjjound and the sartorialist. I was bored with school and started pursuing photography and writing about clothes.
CB: Has it changed much since you started?
FH: At first I wrote more about clothes and posted photos I found on the Internet to supplement my own. As my blog evolved I focused on my own photography and the lifestyles around me. While in Maine, I spent a lot of time photographing the Maine that inspired me.
Now that I live in New York and have a consuming job, I have a lot less time to take photos during the week. I also feel that subjects would be a lot less unique to me if I started doing a lot of street photography.
CB: What's your most memorable experience with photography?
FH: I have had a lot of great experiences taking photos, but the most notable ones are Taking photos of my brother and dad in the Columbia River Gorge in early September of 2010.
CB: How has your photography helped you in life?
FH: Taking photos have been one of the most positive experiences of my life. Its opened doors that I never even knew existed and introduced me to many of my closest friends. It's been great for me to follow a whim and have it snowball into one of the most important parts of my life.
CB: Any advice for aspiring photographers?
FH: Take as many photos as possible of anything that interests you. Don't be afraid to stop everything you're doing to take a photo of something that inspires you. Also, look at photo books or photo blogs in your spare time to help refine your eye.
CB: Finally, what song are you always listening to?
FH: Right now, on Sunday morning, I am listening to Au Revoir Simone.
I'd like to thank Foster for answering these questions for me & also JPG magazine for giving me the opportunity to do this.
VOTE: Do you like this story?

Former England captain David Beckham is reportedly looking at the possibility of playing another season at French football club Paris Saint Germain following preliminary talks on a new deal.
Beckham, who arrived in Paris from Los Angeles Galaxy in January, has made such an impact, that the club's rich owners along with boss Carlo Ancelotti have indicated they want the midfielder to stay for another season, The Sun reports.
Speaking about his future at the club, Beckham said that he has spoken with the owners and Ancelotti, who are happy with his performance at the club, and added that he is also happy playing at PSG.
However, the former Manchester United ace refused to make a final decision until the summer, saying that he is not getting any younger and so will enjoy the rest of the season and then sit down for a final agreement.
Beckham further said that he does not want to be treated differently despite his age, adding that he works as hard as any other player in the club and also trains every day like them.
The former Manchester United ace started for the third time for PSG in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals, while he is set to become the first Englishman in history to win titles in four different countries, the report added. (ANI)

$30 General Admission and $25 Member
Doors Open for admissions 30 min. prior to screening Buy tickets at Film Center or online now
The Film Center is proud to welcome Berklee College of Music Professor Sheldon Mirowitz and the Berklee Silent Film Orchestra for a special presentation of their original new score, for our screening of the stunningly restored Safety Last!.
The comic genius of silent star Harold Lloyd is eternal. Chaplin was the sweet innocent, Keaton the stoic outsider, but Lloyd – the modern guy striving for success – is us. And with its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts, Safety Last! is the perfect introduction to his world. Lloyd plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a lowly department store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do that gives him a head start on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jawdropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is an unforgettable movie experience from a genuine legend. Janus Films is proud to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Lloyd's crowning achievement with a new DCP restoration sourced from an original nitrate element.
The Berklee Silent Film Orchestra (BSFO) is dedicated to composing new, original scores for silent feature classics, and performing them live-to-picture. Based at Boston's Berklee College of Music, in the world's only undergraduate degree program in film scoring, the student orchestra composes its new works, and performs as an ensemble, under the leadership of Professor of Film Scoring Sheldon Mirowitz (Outside Providence, Missing in America). To date, the BSFO has scored seven iconic silent features (Sunrise, It, Battleship Potemkin, Piccadilly, Faust, Our Hospitality, and Safety Last!) all commissioned by the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, Massachusetts, as part of the theater's Sounds of Silents™ program, which champions silent film music performance. The recipient of a special commendation from the Boston Society of Film Critics, the BSFO has also performed in the new Nantucket Dreamland Theater, and at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.

ajc.com | Cycling in single file may end road debate
A suburban Atlanta county commissioner plans to give up his attempt to ban cyclists on a popular local training route, instead seeking a rule requiring riders to travel single-file.
Local cyclists got involved after the story hit the media, and a committee suggested the single-file rule as a possible compromise after meeting Monday night. Cobb County's Board of Commissioners will likely take up the as-yet-unfinished ordinance February 27th.
Cyclist Mark Gernazian, who served on the committee, said the cyclists have softened their insistence on their rights. "Trying to drive home our rights to the road was not going to create any harmony on Columns Drive," he said.

Red Bull's amazing 24 mile plus Stratos Space Jump just came to the exact conclusion that everyone wanted.
Austrian Felix Baumgartner just touched down in Roswell, NM after going to the edge of space in a balloon and jumping out. Wow!
In the process, Baumgartner broke three world records:
- At 128,000 feet, this is the highest manned balloon flight.
- It was also the highest human freefall ever recorded.
- He unofficially achieved supersonic speed at 729 MPH, which is the fastest a human has ever traveled.
Here's a little photographic journey through the jump:
Congratulations and kudos to Felix!

This forum deals with the fabric that defines what its like to live and play in Edmonton. From sports to volunteering, Edmontons parks and river valley, and the proposed 2017 Worlds Fair heres your chance to discuss those things that matter to you about living in this great city.
On the behest of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, this forum will discuss the issues surrounding redevelopment of mature areas. More descriptors to come.
Edmonton has a vibrant and broad-based cultural scene, easily one of the most exciting in Canada, if not North America. Check this site for show announcements about theatre, cinema, shows, festivals, concerts, people, the arts in general, and other forms of entertainment. Post your thoughts, comments, announcements here.
Today, 06:36 PM
Discuss your favorite or not so favorite artists, the local scene, and other music issues.
Post here to discuss a song or artist that you like, or even dislike.
There are literally dozens of museums, large and small, that tell the history of Edmonton and area yet you rarely see anything on the forum about them. This forum is C2E's attempt to fix that error. History is the foundation we build our future on and our community, like a home, needs a strong foundation to last. Rather than allow it to be overwhelmed, ignored or left to the persistent few lets create a section where it has it's own voice. Working with the area Museums and Edmonton Heritage Council C2E could create a history/heritage section that would give voice and story to the amazing and exciting history of Edmonton and allow smaller museums to have a voice and promote themselves to the community.
Given the large population of personnel in the Armed Forces here in the Edmonton Area, here is a place for us to discuss and show support for them.
How do we identify the areas where new schools are required? How can our existing schools be renewed so that they remain sustainable? How can school space be transformed into valuable space for the community when student enrolment is insufficient to keep the facility open? These questions will form the basis for dialogue with parents, EPSB staff and other interested stakeholders over the next several months. The answers to these questions will help the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) to develop a plan for managing student space now and into the future. There is an opportunity for YOU to become involved in these discussions, in a variety of ways.
Which grade to register child?
Edmonton is known as the "volunteer capital of Canada" with good reason. If you need volunteers for your event or festival, put the word out here. You can also discuss the many aspects of volunteerism on this forum.
Edmonton is a sports-crazy city, and everyone has an opinion. From the Oilers to the Eskimos, from the Edmonton Capitals baseball team, the Edmonton Energy, to the Edmonton Rush and the Golden Bears and Pandas, the Rexall Edmonton Indy, not to mention all of the amateur sports this city supports this forum is your chance to discuss, comment and review whats going on.
Today, 06:48 AM
The XXII (22nd) Olympic Winter Games are now upon us. Post all your thoughts and comments - sporting related or not - here!
This is only for posting your position as either for or against this deal. This is not to debate a stance. Post in the appropriate thread please.
Come here to discuss your favorite restaurant, food preperation, recipies, etc. Please keep this to as much of an Edmonton focus as you can! This is a trial forum until we see if there is enough participation.
Yesterday, 06:02 PM
Post your favorite dish here, and/or your favorite recipe. This is to share with everyone in Edmonton! Also, discuss your issues with the culinary arts, or the finer things Foodies like to discuss
Restaruant recommendations and reviews. Please keep the language respectful here. If you have praise, praise well. If you have concerns, please list them succinctly, politely, and accurately.
Discuss local liquor providers, your favorite libation, and other aspects of alcohol.
Yesterday, 06:02 PM
Edmonton is a city of parks, including the longest urban park in North America threading through the North Saskatchewan river valley. There are hundreds of parks and recreation areas in the metro region, and this forum offers the opportunity to discuss them, suggest improvements, raise concerns and spread the word.

The best mountain bike lights
Seek out new trails at night with the best MTB lights
If you ride at night then you'll need a good light. Tackling the trails in the dark is much easier and definitely more fun when you can see what you're doing. So we've put together a list of some of the best mountain biking lights to keep you riding this winter.
- Best mountain bike pedals – a magnificent 7
- Six affordable lights for commuting
- The best bike lights for road cycling
And if talk of lumens, mAh and LEDs leaves you utterly in the dark, check out our buyer's guide to mountain bike lights to cut through the jargon.
Gemini TITAN (6 cell)
- Insane retina searing oomph
- Impressive clarity, even at a distance
Gemini's TITAN shows it's not just what power a light packs — although it's very well endowed in that department — but how it puts it on the trail that matters. It's basically three Gemini Duo lights side by side in a shared housing, with the six LEDs pumping out up to 4,000 lumens.
The wide spacing of the LEDs creates an astonishing blaze of broadly spread but extremely far-reaching light.

Magicshine MJ906B
- Ludicrous value for money
- Great battery life
Magicshine has been the brand to beat in terms of value for money for years now.
While the app-tuneable 906B isn't entirely fuss-free, it still presents impressive performance for very little outlay.
The 3,200 lumen max power is focussed around a central hotspot, making it easy to pick out trail-chunder at a distance. The accompanying app also allows you to very easily program up to 20 different solid, SOS, flash or pulse modes.
Latest deals for the Magicshine MJ906B

Exposure MaXx-D Mk10
- Frankly ridiculous 3,300 lumen power
- Great reliability and direct manufacturer back-up
Exposure pioneered powerful all-in-one bike lights and the MaXX-D Mk10 still sets the benchmark for big light power and cutting-edge practical tech.
The very latest version gets a more sensitive acceleration and gradient-driven 'Reflex' mode for automatic output selection up to 3,300 lumens. Alternatively, you can program various mode menus for selection via a big stainless steel button.
The powerful four-LED beam is well balanced in terms of spread and reach for flat-out riding, and the real-time run time display makes battery management easy.
You can add remote switches, auxiliary batteries or charge other devices via the 'Smart Port'. It's definitely too heavy to helmet mount, but the secure alloy clamp fits all bar sizes.

MTB Batteries The Lumenator
- £115
- Excellent value for money
- Manufacturer direct back-up
MTB Batteries specialises in building upgrade batteries for other light manufacturers, but it also produces its own range of simple but cost-effective lamps.
The 2,200-lumen output doesn't look as bright as it sounds on the trail, but it's still enough for most rides, especially as impressive run times from the Panasonic six-cell battery mean you can run it at full power.
MTB Batteries is based in the UK but will ship internationally.

Sigma Buster 2000
- Heavy but excellent power
- Impressive run times
The Buster 2000 is heavy, but that gets you serious power and longevity with loads of useful features. Its claimed 2,000 lumen output actually seems higher, with long centre-point reach and a clear, consistent secondary spread for smooth eye-friendly edges.
The triangular three-LED head comes on a thumbwheel-secured band that works with 35mm bars (if you pull the padding out). Helmet and GoPro-style mounts are also included.
There's a wireless remote too, with a secondary button that just toggles through the steady modes, dodging the strobe and pulse settings. The square plastic battery is bulky and contributes to one of the heaviest we've tested.
Run times are impressive though, and it's got a four-step charge indicator. While it's a new light to us, reliability is sound so far.

Gloworm X2
- Compact yet very powerful
- Long running battery
Gloworm has been refining its exceptionally adaptable X2 for years now. This latest version is a super-tough little unit that has seen upgrades to the wiring, which was previously a weak point.
Uniquely, the X2 allows you to remove the faceplate and switch out the lenses to the diffuser or spot lenses that are included.
The X2 can also be mounted to just about anywhere, including helmets and GoPro mounts.

Moon Meteor Storm Pro
- Impressive power in a compact package
- Nifty LED display panel
Moon's brand new all-in-one light looks techy and provides impressive power on the trail for its size and cost. The Meteor Storm Pro is listed at a healthy 1,600 lumens max output, but the focused beam looks even brighter.
The scrolling five-step menu can be shortcut to maximum power with a double-click at any time, plus there's a cabled remote switch. Power setting and run time are communicated via an LED panel and you can swap the two Li-ion cells for fresh ones if you want to extend the already decent run time or charge another USB device.
While the supplied bracket fits 31.8mm bars there is a 35mm option too. A couple of niggles are that the operating button can be tricky to find if you're wearing thick gloves and the early trigger on the automatic battery saver can be irritating.
Latest deals for the Moon Meteor Storm Pro

Gloworm CX Trail
- Impressive run times for such a small package
- Swappable lenses
An impressive amount of light and tech is packed into this well priced all-in-one unit. It comes with a powerful, far-reaching double spot lens but swapping to one of the supplied wide lenses (no more fiddly than changing a brake pad) gives a broader, more useful beam.
The lightspreading rim around the lens is great for visibility on the road but creates a lot of upward light leak that can be distracting on the trail. Also, the battery indicator light isn't that easy to see.
Run times are surprisingly good for its size though, and the neat micro USB remote switch can also be used to charge other USB devices. It's packaged with an offset Garmin-style twist mount as well as GoPro fixtures.
Although the self-contained CX Trail is a new design, it's proved bombproof so far and Gloworm has an impressive reputation for reliability.

Lower powered MTB lights
These last two lights are actually lifted from our best lights for road cycling roundup, but will serve well as an accompaniment to a helmet-mounted light or can standalone if you're just after a light to illuminate less technical terrain.
Niterider Lumina
- OLED information panel is genuinely useful
- Clear and long-reaching beam
The Niterider Lumina is built with a single 1,100 lumen Cree LED that lives behind high-quality optics that give a clear and long-reaching beam.
The nifty OLED top panel clearly displays the current mode and remaining battery life. If you're not so fussed by the idea of the techy display, the light is also available without the OLED info pane for £30 less.

Hope R2i
- MTB-friendly robust construction
- 'Double barrel' LED setup improves visibility at distance
The R2i LED Vision carries over Hope's signature machined aesthetic, housing two eye-friendly, warm coloured LEDs in a very sturdy all-alloy body.
The twin-LED setup results in a binocular-like effect that helps with depth perception, with the smooth transition at the edge of the beam avoiding stark reflections and distracting sharp edges.
Although the light is quite heavy, our experience shows that the weight penalty is worth it, with legendary reliability and factory-direct support to boot.
