Bestop Cable style safari top
Anyone have this? Pictures? Feedback? I'm specifically looking for the JKU one. :thumb:
I just bought one last week for my JK-
Haven't put it on yet due to the 8,000+ pollen count in ATL. I bought it because I hated the fit of the regular safari top so I'm hoping this is much better. Guess ill know in a few weeks after the pollen dies down. |
From what I have heard, it is a huge improvement form the standard safari bikini. It fits tighter than the original one, and won't flap around as much. The only real downside to this bikini to compared to a standard, is that it's a little more involved of an install and to remove if you want to be 100% topless. We have the Bestop Cable Bikini top ready to ship out today if you order before 5 Est. Also we offer a discount for Wrangler Forum Members, and free shipping on orders over $75. I'll shoot you the discount code over in a PM so you can use it on your orders from us in the future. If you have any further questions, feel free to shoot me a PM or give one of our Jeep Experts a call. -Zach |
Hey I sent you a pm. I had additional part numbers from Bestop that I was verifying to see if you carried. Please let me know thanks.
Pollen will still be bad here for a while but as soon as its over the bikini is going on until winter!! |
I have an 08 2dr with the safari bikini top and not sure if I like it or not. I put it on as directed and when out on the freeway. I thought I have it installed fairly tight but at 70 mph and it ballooned up and was whipping in the back. I was almost afraid it was going to rip the header channel off.
I have since tightened it as much as possible and used some paracord to tie down and extra tie down tab and then used the paracod to sench rear tie downs together to tighten the fabric across the backend. Is this normal? Maybe only meant for like around town driving? |
I debated which to get, spoke with a guy that worked at the dealership I bought my new to me Jeep from, he owned both the cable and non-cable Bestop and said hands down the cable version was MUCH quieter, however the non-cable was fairly quick to put on. I have the cable version hanging in my garage, so far I'm enjoying the 85 degree weather to much to put the top on.
However as somebody pointed this out to me today here is a thread that does already have pictures posted. http://www.wranglerforum.com/f33/bes...ed-221424.html |
Yes the above post is mine, it is extremely worth it to purchase this top. it fits amazing. You do have to have the newer style surrounds for it though, which sucks buying if you dont have them. once this weather starts to shape up, it will be this and the tonneau all summer.
Can you post pics of the surrounds? Mine fit in the rain channels of the surrounds which I think is correct

For the people that have the old style top, I.e. the tops and bikinis tuck into the rain channels, the cable style bikini will not work. I have no tried the cable bikini without the surrounds. You can see from my attached photos how it sits with the surrounds. To bikini came with a bolt and washer for people without a soft top so they could screw into the pre drilled holes on the roll bar. For the flaps you talk about tucking, these don't have them on there.
Cool. Thanks. I have a different door surround, but I looked it up on Bestop and it's allowed to be used. I will post pictures, if it ever stops raining.
It all depends on your top. If you have a 10 or newer and purchased a soft top that the flaps tuck into the drop retainers, then this shouldn't work. When they say it's for years 10 to 13, that means surround types, not the year of the jeep. Mine is an 07, but I bought a brand new top so I have 10+ styling.
Mine is a 2012 Jeep jku. Cable top and then the aftermarket bestop door surrounds. the cable drops into the channel of the door surround. I have it installed and seems to be working well. http://www.bestop.com/images/install...ides/52594.pdf
Ahhh yes if you have bestops surrounds, it will work. I just figured that wasn't the case bc those are pricey so not many have them. But cool, you will enjoy it, no flapping, and if you can find a cure for the plastic tightness above the sound bar from dingin around up there while driving, let us know
When you pull the attachers around the sound bar and put into the hardtop holes, then you pull it tight on top of the sound bar. That plastic clip on top bangs against the metal up there, kind of annoying
As tight as they will go, when it gets nice again I will try it again
ya I did mine tight but not over the top. The only thing mine wanted to do is at highway speeds with the doors off, the cable wanted to walk out of the channel. It didn't, but you could tell it wanted to. I can't wrench the cable straps any tighter so.... lol.

Finally got my Bestop Cable-style Safari Bikini put on yesterday - I like the fit a lot better than the regular bikini or safari top that I had It's a little bit of a pain in the rear to get it put on. I think the fit will be even better over time as it stretches out some- and It comes down a little farther than I would like in the back so it cuts down a little visibility @ the top of the rear view mirror but I'm sure that's just me being weird. Overall so far so good. I Haven't had it out on the highway maybe this weekend.

Now that's just what I wanted to see, I like that alot. Thanks for the pics
I finally installed my Bestop Cable Safari Bikini on Sunday due to rain showers in the forecast for Monday. The install took a while as some items in the instructions were not as clear for my type of understanding. However now that I've gone through it I can see getting it on/off in about 5 minutes. Few things that helped me was taking it out on a drive after I installed it, I was then able to tighten it up a bit more. Also though it seems like the cable and flap would fit in the channel on the back door it actually does seem to belong on the outside, doing this seemed to pull the top and cable better into the "gutter" on the sides, but this is also one item that takes time to pull tight - warm weather will help. I'm not having any issues with the strap buckles hitting the sound bar, when I get to about 40MPH the top does rise up, but I don't hear anything when it comes down, in my case the pull straps lay over the strap going to the back of the sound bar.

Well my top came in, I put it on hoping for the best. I took 1 ride down the street and removed it. Way to much flapping for me. Another $200.00 bad idea.
I'm going with the hard top off completely or just the front panels in. I have a Bestop Safari Bikini top and head rail with 3 miles on it I'll sell cheap. |
I only ask because me was really bad flapping in the back when I first put it on but after a few days of siting out in the sun, I was able to tighten it down more and more each day so now I have very little movement and flapping. Within the first week I was gonna return it to the shop I bought it at - now I'm so glad I didn't cause I love it. Also make sure you don't wrap the rear straps around the roll bar @ all just around the seat belt bracket that also help to be able to tighten it down more |
I would take a pic but it's not going back on. |

MY company is going to change the IP address and HostName of Server where SQL 2000 is running. What is the impact to SQL 2000 Server? Will SQL2000 come back sucessfully?  Do I have to do anything before and after? Pls help me, Thanks a lot for your help.

I am sorry I did not explain you my situation enough. I do not have doubt in accessing the new server with new name. My situation is this. I have stand alone server with a name RECOSRV1. MS SQL 2000 Server is running with a default instance in RECOSRV1. We are going to change the IP address and the Server Name from RECOSRV1 to RECOSRV2. After renaming the Server to the new name, will the SQL Server restart without any issues? What is the impact to SQL Server. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server after renaming the hostname? Renaming of the hostname will affect the SQL server instace (default) running in thet host?
In your case (not a sql server cluster, I assume), changing sql server's ip and/or server name does not require a re-install of SQL. It should restart without any issue. Depending you what you mean by "stand alone server", you MIGHT have trouble, initially, to access the SQL server via its new name from another pc. This will be due to name to ip resolution. If so, get some help from your network guy on DNS and WINS.
You will need to run sp_dropserver, and sp_addserver with the new name. Here is a KB about it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303774
IP address will not be a problem for SQL Server, it will be if you have any hard-code within the connection string on the application, as referred above use the KBA to drop & add the server once the servername is changed. Ensure the service account passwords are intact before making any changes.

News Roundup
Monday, April 27, 2009 at 8 a.m.
- Yet another publication takes a crack at understanding the reaction to President Obama's changes in Cuba policy amongst Cuban Americans in Miami. This time it's the Washington Post, and they find, quite poetically, that the hard lines have softened. I think honestly though, the pieces on the matter that have come out of non-local sources have been mostly better than what the local media has produced. [WaPo]
- Former New Times writer Rebecca Wakefield has landed herself a job as an adviser to Miami Beach mayor Matti Herrera. Rebecca, you know where to send the good scoops. [Herald]
- Mark Rosenberg, former State University System Chancellor has been named the new president of Florida International University. [SunSent]
- Nothing helps you kick your cocaine habit like the power of Orthodox Judaism, or so says one North Miami Beach rehab center. [Villager]
- A South Miami-Dade pastor plead guilty to charges that he was stalking a teen girl. [Herald]
- Good news for pill poppers. The legislature can pass all the laws it wants, but they may do little to actually curb so called pill mills. [Herald]
- A gunman fired an AK-47 at a group of people standing outside the home of Brandon Mills (who was killed in the Liberty City shootings back in January). 5 victims, one as young as 14, were injured. Some witnesses were reluctant to talk because they feared retaliation. [Herald]
Sports (So much sports we don't know where to start)
- First off: NFL Draft. The Dolphins' first pick was Vontae Davis, a corner back from Illinois. [SPI]
- RIP NFLU. For 14 year, 14 friggin years people, a University of Miami player has been drafted in the first round. This year the U placed one player, Spencer Adkins, and he went in the 6th round to Atlanta. Congrats to Adkins, but otherwise this is just embarrassing. Who should we be mad at: Larry Coker for recruiting the graduating class of '09 or Randy Shannon for not making the most of their talent? [CP]
- Time for happy news! The Heat destroyed the Hawks on Saturday 107-78. Not even close. They lead the first round playoff series now 2-1. [ACJ]
- UM baseball beat Virgina Tech this Sunday to win the weekend series 2-1. [Herald]
- Miami FC is playing games. We pretend to care by posting this link. [Herald]
- Finally, Marlins, we just want you to know that we have never been more disappointed by any single entity, sports franchise or otherwise, in our entire lives. [AP]

One Cannot Hide His or Her True Nature
Throughout the fables, one sees that the nature of a being cannot be changed through outward appearances. One also sees that the nature of some beings is evident through their appearance. In fable 76, a house-ferret begs the goddess Aphrodite to turn her into a girl so that she can marry a man. Aphrodite complies, and the girl marries her lover. Aphrodite then sets a test by releasing a mouse in the wedding chamber. The girl reverts to her house-ferret nature and chases the mouse. Zeus, in fable 119, makes a fox king of all animals. Zeus, like Aphrodite, tests the being he has elevated. He releases a cockchafer beetle in front of the fox, and the fox begins to chase it, showing his true nature. Whether one is dressed as a king or a beautiful gracious young maid, one cannot change or...

Comments about GE 27" JKP70WMWW White Built-In Single Convection Wall Oven:
I love my new oven! The slick glass keypad is fun to touch. The convection roast made my chicken turn out great. I am so very happy with my choice. I can't wait to try convection baking with a big batch of cookies for work and cream puffs too.

I love this oven
By Terri the Toiler

About Me Avid Cook
I used the oven almost immediately to bake several batches of Christmas cookies. The oven baked quickly and evenly using the convection feature. I could bake 2 batches at the same time with great success. Also roasted 2 beef tenderloins at the same time and they were done evenly and quickly. Love it.

I ordered two sunglasses cases from sportsshadesonline and used them as they had been recommended in an online forum.
One of the few places I've been able to order Ray Bans sunglasses cases from. Needed one for my sister as hers had cracked and the popper had fallen off of and one for my husband who needed a replacement because he'd lost his not long after he'd got his new sunglasses. I thought the products were reasonably priced and they were dispatched very quickly. I even received a courtesy email to check that I'd ordered the right case.
The service from sportsshadesonline is second to none. A truly personal and efficient service. Cannot recommend highly enough!

College Relations Intern
Randolph College will screen the documentary, "Ahead of Time" Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. in Room 300 in Smith Memorial Building. Directed by Bob Richman, the documentary follows the journey of Ruth Gruber, a foreign correspondent and photojournalist whose trailblazing career made history. The film's producers, Patti Kenner and Ida Cole, will be on hand for the free event.College Relations Intern
A lifelong writer, journalist, photojournalist, and humanitarian, Gruber has written 19 books and recently accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Overseas Press Club. Her book, Haven, which told the story of escorting Holocaust refugees to America, was made into a television mini-series starring Natasha Richardson in 2001.
"Ahead of Time" is a feature-length documentary film focusing on the life of Gruber. who was born in 1911 to Russian Jewish immigrants. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Gruber attended New York University at the age of 15. At 20, she became the world's youngest Ph.D. A feminist before feminism, Gruber became the first journalist to enter the Soviet Artic in 1935. She traveled to Alaska as a member of the Roosevelt administration in 1941, where she was the first civilian on the Alaska Highway.
Ruth's unique perspective of the events surrounding WWII is a result of her involvement in many of those historical moments. She was chosen by the Roosevelt administration to escort 1,000 Holocaust refugees from Naples to New York in a secret wartime mission in 1944. As a journalist, she accompanied leaders to the Middle East where they studied the problems of displaced persons and Palestine. Gruber covered the Nuremberg trials in 1946 and her photos of the ship Exodus 1947 were published in Life Magazine and around the world.
With her love of adventure, fearlessness and powerful intellect, Gruber defied tradition and in the process, emerged as the eyes and conscience of the world. Today, she still has the moxie and sharp wit that propelled her career, and the film interweaves vérité footage with interviews and archival material.
"Ahead of Time" has won multiple Best Documentary awards from many different film festivals. Additional screenings of "Ahead of Time" will take place on Dec. 1 at Lynchburg College at 12:30 p.m. in the Hopwood Auditorium and The Agudath Sholom Synagogue at 7:30 p.m.

Jessie J Leads Nominees for U.K.'s MOBO Awards
Fresh off a stint as the house performer at the MTV Video Music Awards, "Price Tag" singer Jessie J leads all nominees for Great Britain's MOBO Awards with five nominations, including Best UK Act.

Jessie J Aims for Stadium Status with 'Who You Are'
After running in London since its first ceremony in 1995, the MOBOs (short for "Music Of Black Origin") will be held at the SECC arena in Glasgow, Scotland on Oct. 5.

Union Plans Strike Over Pay at Anglo's Namdeb Unit in Namibia
Felix NjiniThe biggest union at Namdeb Diamond Corp., the gem-producing joint venture between Anglo American Plc's De Beers unit and Namibia, said its members will strike on July 18 after pay talks broke down.
The Mineworkers Union of Namibia wants a 15 percent raise in basic wages, improved medical aid and education benefits for its 1,400 members at the company, branch spokesman Mathew Nangombe said by phone. Namdeb, which employs 1,700 people, is offering increases of 7.5 percent to 8.5 percent. The inflation rate was 6.1 percent in May.
"The only option is to strike," Nangombe said from Oranjemund, about 840 kilometers (522 miles) south of Windhoek, the capital. "We held a mass meeting with workers on Friday and they said they are not interested in the company's offer. A vote will be conducted on Wednesday and thereafter we will give a 45-hour notice to strike."
The threat of a stoppage comes less than three weeks after a five-month strike ended at Anglo's platinum operations in neighboring South Africa. Output by Namdeb rose 6 percent to 1.76 million carats in 2013. Namibia produces the world's highest-quality diamonds from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean and is the largest miner of marine gems.
The lowest-paid mineworker earns a basic salary of 6,400 Namibian dollars ($598) monthly, according to the union. Employees are also made to pay "expensive medical aid" and can no longer afford the school fees they are paying at a company-sponsored school, Nangombe said.
"We are not demanding luxuries, we can't afford the medical aid and the fees," he said. "The company has to push up our wages."
Namdeb spokeswoman Pauline Thomas declined to comment on the strike threat when contacted by phone.

(Reuters) - Cybersecurity company FireEye Inc, one of last year's hottest IPOs, has acquired Mandiant Corp, the computer forensics specialist best known for unveiling a secretive Chinese military unit believed to be behind a series of hacking attacks on U.S. companies.
The $1.05 billion cash-and-stock deal, which FireEye said closed on Monday, unites two companies with relatively new technologies for thwarting cyber attacks, and brings together two of the most-respected executives in the security industry: FireEye CEO Dave DeWalt and Mandiant founder Kevin Mandia.
While sales of older anti-virus products have been on the decline, security experts expect strong growth in both FireEye's cloud-based systems for detecting malicious software and Mandiant's software that analyzes cyber attacks.
About a year ago the two companies entered into a technology development agreement that made it easier to deploy their products together. With the merger, FireEye will gain Mandiant's team of forensics investigators.
"They have these very strong Navy 'cyber' Seals who respond to breaches and are very good at what they do," DeWalt said about Mandiant. He had previously served as chairman of Mandiant's board.
"My aim is to create the strongest security company in the world," DeWalt said in an interview.
FireEye, which has yet to post a profit, said the acquisition will be immediately accretive to earnings and expects the combined company's revenue to grow about 50 percent this year. In comparison, Symantec Corp, the biggest maker of anti-virus software, has said it expects fiscal 2014 revenue to drop 3 percent to 4 percent.
Mandiant is best known for its forensics services. The company rose to prominence in February 2013 when it published a report detailing alleged links between a Shanghai-based unit of the People's Liberation Army and a long list of attacks on U.S. companies. [ID:nL4N0BJ3QA]. Beijing denied all allegations in the report.
Mandiant, which has long been profitable, generates sales of more than $100 million a year, according to DeWalt.
FireEye in November forecast its 2014 revenue to be between $240 million and $250 million, up from an estimated $156 million to $158 million for 2013. DeWalt has declined to say when he expects the company to be profitable.
FireEye, which has a market capitalization of around $5 billion, will pay for Mandiant with a combination of stock and cash. It issued 21.5 million shares and options, which were worth $939 million on Monday, when the stock closed at $43.69.
A company spokesman said it had about 140 million shares outstanding after the deal was completed.
It will also pay $106.5 million in net cash to Mandiant's shareholders, who include Mandia as well as Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and One Equity Partners, the private investment arm of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
DeWalt said he owns some shares in Mandiant and will disclose the size of his stake within a few days through a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FireEye shares were down 5.7 percent to $41.11 in late afternoon Nasdaq trade. They nearly doubled in their September 20 trading debut and have not moved significantly since.
FireEye's rival include Palo Alto Networks Inc, which went public in 2012 in one of that year's most successful IPOs.
Mandiant was founded in 2004 by Kevin Mandia, a former U.S. Air Force cyber-forensics investigator who co-authored an influential textbook on the subject. The company made its name by automating processes used to investigate computer breaches.
The company was largely unknown outside the computer security world until February of last year, when it fingered the People's Liberation Army's Shanghai-based Unit 61398 as the most likely driving force behind a Chinese hacking group known as
Other security companies had published reports on cyberattacks, but had shied away from so clearly identifying their perpetrators.
DeWalt said FireEye would consider releasing similar reports now that it owns Mandiant.
"You will probably see us continue to do it when it is appropriate," he said. "There is some incredibly egregious behavior."
DeWalt is the former chief executive of anti-virus software maker McAfee who sold McAfee to Intel Corp.
Mandia was named FireEye's chief operating officer. He said in an interview that he plans to move to Silicon Valley, where FireEye has its headquarters, from the Washington D.C. area.
"I'm in this for the long-term," he said. "This is as exciting as heck for me."

Social Question
Miracle Whip vs Mayo... what changed or has it?
Asked by redhen4 (514)
September 11th, 2012
Recently, after YEARS of using Miracle Whip, I now cannot stand the taste or smell and have switched to mayo. I threw out several jars before I realized that no, it didn't go bad, it has either changed or my taste for it has changed. Now I've switched to Best Foods mayo, for now.
I ran into a lady at the grocery who said the same thing. She no longer liked Miracle Whip. Did they change the recipe, or is it our taste buds changing again as we get older?

Plenty of anxiety, blame to go around when it comes to college tuition, report finds
If you hang around the state Capitol long enough, you're bound to learn something.
While waiting around outside Gov. Rick Snyder's ceremonial office last week, I watched as a group of students and their parents were ushered into the area by one of the docents leading a tour of the Capitol.
Above us was a portrait of the late President Gerald Ford. The docent pointed to the portrait and asked the fourth-graders if they knew who that was and one student impressively answered the question almost immediately.
Then the docent asked the parents a much tougher question: "Ford attended the University of Michigan. Any guesses as to how much a full year of tuition was in 1935 when he graduated?" he asked.
There was a pause. Then he gave the answer everyone feared: $110.
"That wouldn't even pay for one book now!" one parent scoffed.
Oh, by the way, a full year of tuition at UM this year was $13,142.38.
Public's nerves 'raw'
The outrage over the rising cost of tuition can be found just about everywhere there are parents, whether it's at the kitchen table or the state Capitol. It can also be found in a new and comprehensive report released this week by the Center for Michigan.
From late September 2013 through early April, more than 5,500 state residents across a wide variety of ethnic and socio-economic groups took part in more than 160 statewide community conversations, two polls and an online version of the conversation.
According to the report, 78 percent of respondents listed improving college affordability as an urgent priority. No other question polled higher. Most others weren't even close.
"The public's nerves are obviously very raw on this," said John Bebow, president and CEO of the Center for Michigan.
Urgent priority for students
What surprised me was that of those who said it was an urgent priority, it was students who agreed the most, at 91 percent. I had to rely heavily on student loans to finance my college experience. As an 18-year-old, I felt quite detached from the true cost of college — until I got the final bill upon graduation, along with a two-decade-plus payment plan.
The high student percentage also stood out to Bebow and those who put the report together, he said.
"They are closest to the problem," he said, also mentioning the anxiety that comes with worrying about whether they can afford the next semester.
Bebow said that after seeing such a strong reaction to the cost of college in the state, his organization is planning to go back out into the field this fall to further examine the issue.
"We think we've tapped a vein here," he said. "I think the public is screaming out for more debate."
Part of that debate will be over the level of government involvement in the cost of higher education and how that does or does not correlate to higher tuition.
State's role
I had one expert put it to me this way a few years ago: Imagine if our state universities were local units of government, like a city or township.
How long before the public would storm their gates with pitchforks? That is what goes on with our public universities each year as they raise tuition, their version of an income tax.
Universities say that for the past decade the state has been disinvesting in higher education. In Snyder's first budget, he slashed the higher education budget by 15 percent. In the budget now being debated in Lansing, Snyder is proposing to restore some of that funding, with a 6.1 percent increase for universities, amounting to an additional $80.3 million.
However, it still won't be back at the level it was before he took office.
As has been the case with each of Snyder's budgets, in order for universities to receive additional state funding, they have to keep tuition below a certain rate. For the 2014-15 year, the most a university can raise tuition is 3.2 percent.
But as a Senate Fiscal Agency report last year showed, as the state contributes less to higher education and universities rely more on tuition for revenue, the strings attached by the state will mean less.
Last year, Wayne State University was the first to exceed the tuition restraint language. In doing so, it was not able to collect an additional $534,700 for keeping its tuition increase from exceeding 3.75 percent (last year's cap). Instead, WSU raised tuition by 8.9 percent, which brought it an estimated $15 million.
Bebow said there is plenty of blame to go around on all sides. Some of the study participants not only faulted the state's disinvestment, but also the university operations and whether they are doing enough to cut expenses.
"There are unanswered questions on how to fix it," Bebow said. "It's complex, and is nothing lawmakers can fix overnight. But we are committed to adding additional debate and research to the discussion."

I posted this gem on the interwebs today because it was 32 years ago today that my lovely parents were married in the First Baptist Church in New Albany, Mississippi.
They are the best example to us of what marriage really means. It doesn't necessarily mean that you like the person a whole lot every single day, but it does mean that you love them. Loving someone in that way means you're not leaving - no matter how tough times are. Josh, Rob, and I have all had our moments when our parents could have thrown in the towel in dealing with our issues. Because we are products of their love and the fruits of their marriage, they stuck it out.
I am grateful daily for the example that they are to me and am a firm believe that my dad follows one of my favorite quotes of all time with regards to marriage:
"The greatest thing a father can do for his children is love their mother"
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
Side note: Is anyone else glad it's no longer 1981? (1) Check out my dad's sweet mustache/beard/goatee combo and (2) those bridesmaid's dresses {in pastels no less}. LOVE YOU GUYS!

Type 1 diabetes monitoring app MySugr releases challenges to encourage logging
- 0
Type 1 diabetes, the one where the body can't produce insulin, is not only life threatening when it is badly managed but it's also a total pain, in the finger – blood tests, in the lifestyle – continual check ups, and in the way it needs to be logged and monitored.
The mySugr app was developed by people with diabetes to help others work out ways to log data about their health, food intake and mood as well as making it a bit more inspiring.
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
Most of us are lucky enough not to have to bother thinking about everything we eat, our emotional state and what we are doing each day. But for those with Type 1 diabetes, all of those things can have an extreme effect on health and much heavier consequences later in life.
To make things a bit more interesting, mySugr has updated its app with a selection of amusing features and challenges. The app is available in iOS and is sold as a freemium model. It's free for the basics and then there is a €4 monthly subscription for premium features.
The latest update gives basic users a shot at the premium version by playing health challenges. 'Vampire', 'Greenhorn' and 'Sweat It' are challenges that encourage users to log their data properly, and look after their health through exercise. Beat the challenge, and get to the next level of premium data features on the app for free.
MySugr recently agreed a partnership with the Austrian wing of Sanofi Aventis, to introduce some other challenges which, if completed, make the app free for up to a year. Sadly for now, 'Monster Basher' and 'Tame Your Monster' are only available in Austria.
Logging the state of your body all day, every day and noting everything you eat gets to be a drag. The lifestyle of the diabetic might seem interesting for those who are interested in the quantified self. But it's no mean feat to make sure you stay alive by creating data files.
Hopefully new challenges like the ones from mySugr will encourage people to keep logging. It's not an easy job, but earning free stuff is neat and staying alive longer, well that's even better.

Maple Leaf Malt & Brewing
Wilmington, Vt.
(Near Mt. Snow)
John Foote is the kind of beer-lover who began brewing his own five-gallon batches in college. Maple Leaf Malt & Brewing Co., a handsome boutique operation housed in Wilmington's original general store, is not only his dream come true; it's a continuation of family tradition. His roots in the area go back four generations, and his uncle, a local baker, helped develop a menu that backs Foote's half-dozen brews beautifully. The enormous Brewery Bratwurst Platter, served with a heap of hot German potato salad, is stewed in Deerfield Valley Dark stout. That same ale imparts a pleasant kick to the Vermont cheddar-topped baked stuffed portabella. Teetotalers and children can enjoy Maple Leaf's own craft-brewed root beer. Most patrons, though, are only too happy to congregate barside by the ingenious maple-trunk tap.
Maple Leaf Malt & Brewing Co., 3 North Main St., Wilmington, Vt.; 802-464-9900.

Who would have guessed that such a cool building-an 1807 brick grist mill-lay hidden within a stone's throw of I-89? Just some top-notch foodies who happened to be living nearby and got the notion to reverse a couple of letters and open a restaurant. If you're heading for Stowe, this stop is a must. Don't be dissuaded by the laid-back little bakery; the action is downstairs, in a granite-walled snuggery where elements of the mill have been put to creative use. The coffee-hand-roasted on-site-is reason enough to stop in. While you're at it, you might as well breakfast on hot apple pie with cheddar, lunch on pulled-duck panini or dine on chive-crusted rack of lamb. All are state-of-the-art-not surprising, considering co-owner Steve Schimoler, as chairman of ChefExpress.net, does R&D for chefs across the U.S. The Mist's piece de resistance is a Sunday-night "family supper," where a half-dozen blackboard specials are dished out to in-the-know aficionados for a mere $10 to $16 per person.

The Spotted Cow
Waitsfield, Vt.
(Near Sugarbush, Mad River Glen)
There's something magical about Bridge Street, that corner of Waitsfield where a hodgepodge of vintage storefronts spills off Route 100 toward a covered bridge. Now this enchanted neighborhood has the restaurant it deserves. The Spotted Cow is a nifty little eatery paneled in red birch with cherry molding. Head chef Eric Bauer, whose résumé includes Chez Henri, a Mad River Valley institution, brings his skills to bear on an elegant dinner menu, in which herb-and-garlic-crusted rack of lamb, for instance, comes napped in a Riesling-black truffle sauce (the most expensive entree option at $24). Several dishes reflect owner Jay Young's Bermuda background, including the turbo-charged fish chowder spiked with sherry peppers and black rum-a family recipe dating to the 18th century. Also served at lunch, this high-octane bouillabaisse could fuel a kick-ass afternoon at nearby Sugarbush or Mad River.

Did you know he did paintings of baseball stadiums, too? Here's one of them now. You know what I like about it? It looks like what it's supposed to be. Call me a vulgarian, but that's all I ever ask of art: does it look like what it's supposed to be? Like that 40-ton piece of metal in front of the courthouse--what is that and how soon can we melt it down and turn it into hybrid cars?
Alex Rodriguez Picture From the Great Expectations Department. Just think, for a little more than one day of Alex Rodriguez's desired new salary, you can own this framed drawing of him from his halcyon days with the Seattle Mariners. The seller writes, "I dont (sic) know much about this other than its (sic) a great picture. Item is in great condition. Sold as is." Thanks. That will help in the decision-making process. To spur you on, the seller later added the following very important information: "Price droped (sic) from 299,999.00 to 110,000.00 sale price for quick sale." We all have our dreams. For instance, I imagine a European furniture dealer someday coming into my place and offering me $30,000 for my ratty couch that I am currently hiding under slipcovers. I also harbor dreams that the lamp I bought at Target three years ago will suddenly be worth $10,000 because�well, there doesn't need to be a reason, does there? These idle fantasies of mine are as valid as this drawing being worth anything more than one percent of the asking price--even after the generous reduction for "quick sale."
Babe Ruth/Harry Frazee Autographs Isn't it finally time to let poor old Harry Frazee off the mat? Come on--the Red Sox have won two World Series now. The man was an entertainer, people. He provided theatrical diversions from wars and flu pandemics. OK, so he moved a couple of assets around and it doesn't look so great in hindsight. Can't we all move past that?
Billy Martin's Glove Close, but� In the seventh inning of Game Seven of the 1952 World Series, Billy Martin made the most famous play of his career and one of the more iconic plays in postseason history when he speared a pop fly off the bat of Jackie Robinson at the last moment. The bases were loaded and there were two outs; had the ball fallen, two runs would have scored to make it 4-4. Instead, the Yankees won 4-2 and took their fourth straight championship. The seller does not suggest that this is that glove. Instead, this is the one he wore the next year when he hit .500/.667/1.000 in the Series.
Closeout Lot of 74 Tampa Bay Devil Rays Pennants This is the calm before the Devil Rays' storm. We are experiencing the waning years of their ineptitude. The question is: will you be prepared for the onslaught of Rays interest when it comes down hard? You would be if you bought these 74 pennants. Of course, they're changing their name, so that's a bit problematic. Here's what you do: where it says "Devil" you stick a picture of one of their players. Speaking of the Rays, I did a bit of an informal survey to see which teams had the most and fewest items up for auction. I entered each team's full name (Los Angeles Dodgers as opposed to just Dodgers) so that teams like the Cardinals and Giants wouldn't get extra hits. The results were somewhat predictable. They kind of look like the BP Hit List, except the Blue Jays came in next-to-last. The Rays were at the very bottom with only 340 hits. These were the top five:
12,192: Red Sox I was a little surprised the Red Sox came out on top. I wonder if that would have been the case before they won it all again. I did a search for "2007 World Series Red Sox" and came up with about 1,800 hits. If you take those off of their total, it pulls them about even with the Yankees. For teams that have moved, I only searched the current location. Combining the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers would move them into the top 10, for instance.
Vintage AMG Male Nude Baseball Player Photograph Come on, who hasn't played a game or two of naked baseball? This is what the game would be like had it been invented by the ancient Greeks. I'm sure you can compile a list of the aspects of how baseball would differ if uniforms went away. What would a scout say about the guy in this photo?
Chicago Federal League Park Postcard Pity the poor Federal League devotee. There is precious little for the Fed collector. There are some cool-looking t-shirts for the Newark Peppers and Chicago Whales, but, obviously, they are not original to the time. This is, of course, Wrigley Field in its first incarnation, as the home of the Whales in 1914. You know, it's not too early to start planning for the Federal League gala centennial. It will be on us before you know it. Will you be properly prepared?
1907 Game Ball The seller asks: "If a home run ball by the 1998 NL home run champion Mark McGwire sold for $3 million, what is a foul ball hit by the 1905 NL home run champion Fred Odwell worth?" What, indeed.
Lance Niekro Game Used Fresno Grizzlies Pants I've never been one to wear a uniform shirt with jeans as has become custom. It's just not me. However, I sort of understand why people do it and why it might have a certain appeal. I also understand why one might want to own a uniform shirt. It has a number, a logo and, perhaps, a name. I can also understand the urge to own a complete uniform. Pants by themselves, though? This puzzles me. 0 comments have been left for this article.

Oliver and Team USA Claim FIL Gold July 22, 2013 OSHAWA, Canada – University of Cincinnati head women's lacrosse coach Gina Oliver and Team USA wrapped up the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Cup with a perfect 7-0 record, earning their seventh world title with a 19-5 victory over team Canada. The U.S. (7-0) topped Canada (5-2) for a second time in the tournament, having already defeated the first-time World Cup finalists 13-2 in a pool play match on Tuesday. Team USA is now 10-0 against Canada in World Cup play, outscoring the Canadians 141-31 in those contests. The U.S. had faced Australia in the last four World Cup finals dating back to 1993 before Canada topped the Aussies 11-7 in Friday's semifinal round. Team USA set program and tournament records for goals (127), goals per game (18.0) and margin of victory (13.2). The tournament saw the Americans outscore their opponents by a combined 127-34. The gold medal marks Team USA's seventh World Cup title, having reached the final in all nine World Cup tournaments. Team USA knocked off England (17-7), Wales (19-2), Australia (18-9) and Canada (13-2) during pool play. The squad outscored opponents by a 67-20 total. Oliver was a member of the defensive unit that limited opponents to an average of five goals per game. Team USA reached the finals following a 21-8 win over Team England. Oliver was named player of the match in the contest after recording four ground balls and three caused turnovers. For the tournament, Oliver finished with ten ground balls and seven caused turnovers Team USA entered as the reigning champion, having won the FIL World Cup in 2009 in Prague, Czech Republic. It was the team's sixth World Cup championship, having brought home the gold in 1982, 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2001. The United States finished as the runner-up in 1986 and 2005. This year was Oliver's second FIL World Cup appearance having won gold with the squad during 2009. A veteran anchor on the defense, Oliver made her first stint with the national team from 2006-09 before returning in 2011. In January of 2013, US Lacrosse announced that Oliver was one of 18 players named to the national team.

Relatives of soldiers killed fighting in Iraq can claim for damages for negligence against the Government, senior judges said yesterday.
Lawyers representing troops' families hailed the Court of Appeal ruling in London as a "landmark decision".
Appeal judges said relatives could not make separate damages claims under human rights legislation, but lawyers said that fight would go on. They said families would take the human rights battle to the Supreme Court.
Sue Smith, 51, of Tamworth, Staffordshire, whose 21-year-old son Private Phillip Hewett was killed seven years ago, said: "It is just so dismissive... They are not just Action Men. People need to make a stand."
An MoD spokesman said later: "Our thoughts and concerns remain with those that were injured and the families of those that sadly lost their lives.
"We are considering the judgment by the Court of Appeal and as this is likely to be subject to further legal action it would be inappropriate for us to comment further."
James Arbuthnot, chairman of the House of Commons Defence Committee, told the BBC: "The implications of this ruling are very far-reaching indeed. It means that the MoD now has an extra thing that it has to take into account in everything it does in relation to war.
"This has been described as the triumph of lawfare over warfare."

Windmill WIP
This started as a weekend exercise in hand-painted textures and just kind of grew from there. I thought I lost it when my hard drive crashed, but then I found it tucked away on a forgotten flash drive last month and decided to finish it.
It's 99% done, I swear. I have to put it aside right now to work on another project.

Good way to try products!
June 21, 2012
Reviewer: Barb from Bellevue, WA United States
So far I love all of the products, and they work well. The shampoo and conditioner make my hair feel very soft and clean. The face cleanser doesn't irritate my eyes, although I need to use a separate eye makeup remover or the glycerine soap to get everything off. The toner is very nice, and pick up any leftover makeup and dirt. The small sizes of the bottles (cleanser, toner, shampoo, conditioner) really aren't large enough to travel with for any more than a couple of days, but they are a nice size for a trial.

Good For Travel
May 3, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from St. Petersburg, FL United States
This has all the essentials for travel. However, the shampoo and conditioner is so small. I think I would run out of it in 3 days. That being said, the shampoo is great. It leaves your hair shiny, clean and healthy!

Perfect for sampling
January 10, 2012
Reviewer: Lauren Miller from Huntsville, AL United States
This kit was everything I expected it to be and then some! I have been trying desperately to get my face back to normal after a bad allergic reaction. Luckily, I found my miracle! The facial care system is amazing, and I will be ordering the full size versions of those products soon. I absolutely LOVE the toothpaste as well. It cleans my teeth well without irritating my gums. I was blown away by how well the shampoo/conditioner work too. I have actually been able to skip using extra hair products on my hair since using them. They made my hair soft and manageable. The lotion is a little beady, for lack of a better word, upon applying it but it does everything a body lotion should and keeps me moisturized all day (which is especially important during these winter months). To say I am now a fan of Cleure products would be an understatement. I want to try all of them! Thank you Cleure!

Tried all the products. Love the sunscreen...doesn't "burn" my face upon application like my old brand did. Have purchased all the larger size products now.

Lamar Odom's Well Enough To Hike With Kardashians
Lamar OdomÃÂ just had a huge milestone in his recovery, which involved two important elements: social media and some Kardashians.
Khloe and Kim Kardashian were by Lamar's side as they live-streamed a hike they all went on near their Calabasas homes. They didn't completely reveal Lamar on camera, which would have been admittedly pretty gross, they made it clear that he was part of the group (as shown by Kim's instagram photo above).
TMZ reports that it's the first time Lamar has gone outside for exercise, and the hike went off like gangbusters.ÃÂ And it must not have been too much of a hassle, now that Lamar's Khloe's neighbor and she can help him all the time with rehab.
Nothing I like more than a couple of sisters livestreaming my recovery, right? But he was married to Khloe, so I guess Lamar knew what he was getting into…

Mississippi State's Dillon Day will join offensive line teammate Ben Beckwith in the East-West Shine Game Saturday at 3 p.m. in St. Petersburg, Fla., on the NFL Network.
But Day's collegiate career will not end there as the center was a late addition to the Senior Bowl roster where he will join fellow Bulldogs Kaleb Eulls and Preston Smith. The Senior Bowl will be played on Jan. 24 at 3 p.m. on the NFL Network. It is the most players MSU has sent to the Senior Bowl since 2011.
Day, a 6-foot-4, 299-pounder from West Monroe, La., was a four-year starter for the Bulldogs and served as a co-captain this past season.

Earlier this spring Dreamworks released a thoroughly enchanting trailerfor their upcoming animated adventure The Rise of the Guardians. Based on William Joyce's The Guardians of Childhood novels and adapted by the author, this beautifully realized epic unveils a side to several mythic figures from our childhoods that we never imagined.
From Santa Claus to the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, Joyce gives each classic character a new life and charmingly radical twist that director Peter Ramsey (Monsters vs Aliens) has manifested into vibrant CGI creations. Of course, the trailer not only showed a tattooed Santa, and barefoot Jack Frost, but also gave a glimpse of Pitch, a nightmarish boogeyman from the darkest corners of childhood fears. It was a masterfully crafted bit of marketing that sparked our interest, and left us wanting more. And now Dreamworks is giving in, providing Apple a gallery of character posters—viewable below—that allow us to get a good look at each of the intriguing feature's heroes, as well as their harrowing villain. Beyond their well-known duties of bringing winter, gifts, painted eggs, coins for teeth, and slumber, the Guardians are a band of figures with incredible abilities that are charged with watching over all mankind. But when an evil spirit called Pitch (Jude Law) rises with aims of world domination, Jack Frost (Chris Pine), Santa Clause (Alec Baldwin), The Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), The Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher) and The Sandman must confront their greatest threat yet. The Rise of the Guardians will hit theaters November 21st.

Hi everyone! It's been a madhouse here lately. I should come to expect this of this life I chose of running 3 businesses. BALANCE is key! I've taken a few weeks off of cake stuff to build my other two babies. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience so far and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I wouldn't trade this life for anything else! Are there any entrepreneurs out there? You know what I'm talking about! 😉
One of the things I love about being an entrepreneur is the time freedom and the simple fact that I can prioritize my life and have a healthy work/life balance. My nephews are growing up SO quickly and I just want to savour each moment with them. Tonight I got a tour of one of the best MMA gyms in Toronto where all the UFC fighters go to teach classes. It was so intimidating but so much fun at the same time (um, to watch of course!).
Enjoy this Mickey Clubhouse cake I made a few weeks ago. Mickey will never get old in my books 😉 Happy Thursday!

I've read a lot of other threads on future mods and people asking what else they can do to get some more horsepower, but none of them fit my system. I have a 2000 V6 stang with GT take-offs, a paceSetter off-road H-pipe, 2 dual chamber flowmaster mufflers, TransGo shiftkit for AODE, 18x8 saleen style rims, and a K&N air filter. Having an automatic is fine by me IMO, although others may disagree. I figure that my lack of power in the low-end rpm's is due to the fact that I don't have the power necessary to utilize the catback exhaust. The lack of "backpressure" has already been discussed and I understand that instead of benefitting from the catbacks in the low-end rpm range, I get more power in the high-end. Do you guys think that I should aid a densecharger to get some more air into the engine? Will that help utilize the catbacks? If I should go with it, which should I get - 1) 99-02 3.8 V6 Full Length Densecharger -this consists of: [4] piece ABS ¼" plastic intake pipes with CNC'd MAF Flange! [1] Polycarbonate high gloss black unbreakable cover plates [1] Raven Black/Chrome Decal [1] K&N RU3130 Filtercharger™ OEM Sensor Safe Permatex Instructions and Bulletins [MAF Meter not included] Price:$169.00 Delivered 2) 94-03 V6 Entry Level Powerpack - this consists of: [3] piece ABS ¼" plastic intake pipes with CNC'd MAF Flange!

[1] Polycarbonate high gloss black unbreakable cover plates [1] Raven Black/Chrome Decal [1] K&N RU3130 Filtercharger™ Pro-M 75mm Bullett MAF OEM Sensor Safe Permatex Instructions and Bulletins Notify when ordering 01up models price? 4) 94-02 3.8 V6 basic densecharger setup - this consists of: [3] piece ABS ¼" plastic intake pipes with CNC'd MAF Flange! [1] MAF to factory hose coupler [1] Polycarbonate high gloss black unbreakable cover plates [1] Raven Black/Chrome Decal [1] K&N RU3130 Filtercharger™ OEM Sensor Safe Permatex Instructions and Bulletins [MAF Meter not included] Price:$94.00 + Shipping & Handling I figured I would give the most details (taken directly from www.densecharger.com ) to help with response time. Even the most basic setup is said to give you about 12-15 hp. Dunno what adding the Pro-M 75mm would do. Maybe some underdrive pulleys would be the way to go. I've read that they aren't going to do much if a supercharger or turbo isn't planned for the future. On the other hand, some say that they are a great first step in adding some basic horses. I just want to get some more hp/torque off the line. Do you think that changing my gear ratio to 4.10 or 3.73 would help me? Could my 18" tires and rims be weighing me down? I don't really want to go the headers/cams/intake porting route because that gets really pricey and can't be done in stages. What else would I need to add if I had 4.10 gears installed? Any help is appreciated. I know I asked a lot of questions and made this post quite long, but if you know an answer to one, it's better than no answer at all. Thanks! opiaTe
I'd go with the Full Length, which is kinda obvious, but it gets the intake a little further from the engine heat than the regular one, which is half the battle when it comes to replacing the stock unit. They just dyno'd at 10.5whp/2rwtq or something close to that, so, thats pretty good bang for your buck. 1) Gears are definately good for some extra ::umph:: off the line. Auto's generally switch to 4.10's because they only have 4 gears, instead of 5, and are therefore in need of closer-spaced differential gears. 2) Yes, your wheels are slowing you down significantly, but they look infinately better than stock. All depends on what you care about. I wish my bullitts weren't so heavy, but I love the look, so thats why I have em. 3) Intake spacer is supposed to be good for a decent amount of low-range power (dyno'd at 6whp/8wtq, I think), and everyone I know who's gotten it, loved it. LSHOCKEY123 or something sells them for $95 shipped on 3.8mustang.com. You don't NEED anything, but unless you want to top out at 80 and not know how fast you're going, you'll need a chip (Ford Chip burn #1, or something). Also, most people put Traction Lock in with the Gears while they're in the Differential. You're welcome, thats what forums are for. Good luck with the mods. Blaine
Alright, it makes sense that the full length would help get the intake further away from the engine heat. That should be my first step in gaining some minor hp I am guessing. I guess the only downside to getting a different set of gears is not knowing how fast I'm going 80+. On the other hand, I'm sure there are a lot of people out there like me who don't necessarily care after 80+ because either way if you are pulled over - you're screwed. Sounds like gears might be the best way to accomplish my goal. They could serve as a baseline for future hp-savvy mods. For the underdrive pulleys, I looked at Steeda's V6 UD pulley and balancer for $179.95. It looks like I will need to purchase the belt with that too though, an additional $45.32. That comes up to $224.27 for 10 horses. It's not that I'm new to all of this engine modding and discussion of more bang for your buck, but god damn. I'm gonna have to look into the intake spacer instead and maybe if I get a better paying job, I will go for the UD pulleys. If anyone has any idea if I can get a set for cheaper, I'd be happier than hell to know. Sucks about the weight of the wheels, but the looks do outweigh their downside. I'm happy with em and hopefully a set of gears will help. Thanks so much for the info Blaine...have any ideas/links/preferences as to where I could get a timing advance adjuster and larger throttle body (75mm) for V6? opiaTe
I have the full length Densechager and it is cool it adds hp to mid and upper end i talked to the owner and he said that unless you plan on putting the throttle body on then hold off on the MAF. I also read on other post that the throttle body i have is suffient enough i think its a 65mm? so unless you plan on supper charging or NOS hold off on the TB+MAF. Deffentetly get the DenseCharger though(full length) My next set is pullies I think http://www.rpm-outlet.com has them for a pretty good price but you have to buy the belt and puller(if u wanna do it yourself) my next step is gears (i also have an auto) everyone here says 4.10s but its my daily driver and i do a lot of city so I think Ill go with the 3.73s (hey its better than 3.27s) But every one that has changed there gear ratio has put the trac loc in aswell and im a little clueless as to what it does (2 wheel burn outs instead of 1???) If you do change your gears you will have to get a chip/programmer to adjust ur speed b/c not only did you change the gears but also the tires and chips/programmers add a little power and firm up the shift/change shift points... So Good luck

The proliferation of information about hospital performance is a cause for consternation. We are drawn to data about performance, yet we are wary of their accuracy and reliability. We want information about the results that our acute care organizations achieve, yet we are often skeptical about whether what is important in medicine can be measured well.
Among the measures, those related to outcomes have taken center stage.1 Outcomes measures can fully capture the end result of healthcare; they can include all patients within a diagnostic category or even across an institution. In the United States these measures have financial consequences as a result of federal legislation.2 3 4 5 Consequently, hospitals and others affected by outcomes measures have focused intently on the validity of the methods that underlie these metrics.
The most common hospital outcomes measures use standardized outcome ratios, generally an observed value divided by an expected value (for example, observed mortality divided by expected mortality). The approach is intended to quantify how a hospital performs relative to other hospitals, after considering differences in case mix and sample size. The product is a ratio of whether …
